Best of The Program | Guests: Steven Crowder & Brian Lilley | 5/20/21

don't technically need this car.

You say that out loud to yourself.

You say, I have no space.

You say, eh, I'm just looking.

Then you click.

Then you zoom in on photo number 87 and whisper, oh no.

Then you text a friend, the one who always enables you.

You say to yourself, this is the last one, knowing it is not.

You don't need this car.

But maybe, just maybe, this car needs you.

Bring a trailer.

It's never just a car.

Welcome to the podcast.

What a big show today.

I mean, incredible stuff going on today.

We actually have Steven Crowder on to talk to us about his potential ban on YouTube.

Again, big tech is kind of cracking down on conservatives.

Steven in particular, one of the biggest conservative channels you're ever going to find on YouTube.

And he gets into that and the details behind it, which are insane.

We also have a day early, Bill O'Reilly.

O'Reilly joins us for the hour to look at

all the news of the week and also his brand new, number one New York Times bestseller that just information just came out, Killing the Mob, and Brian Lilly from Canada to tell us about what's I mean, it's always interesting to look at Canada because there's always crazy stuff going on up there, and then it eventually comes across the border and hits us as well.

We get into that today.

Don't forget, go to blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

Promo code is Glenn.

Glenn's got a new show tomorrow.

You don't want to miss that.

Also, Stew Does America every day on Blaze TV.

I think they just changed the subscribe work to follow.

So follow us.

Follow at Glenn Beck and follow at Stew Does America.

You get the podcast every single day.

Here's the podcast for Thursday.

You're listening to

the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Steven Crowder now joins us from from Louder with Crowder.

He has gotten the second strike now

in a three-strike policy.

If you get three strikes on YouTube, you're off.

And it's not just off for a little while, you're off permanently.

His first actual hard strike was over his investigation

on March 29th over the Nevada voter rules.

They claim Stephen made statements about the election that were just flat out wrong and inflammatory.

Stephen joins us now to talk about strike one and strike two and the new lawsuit that he has filed.

First, Stephen, welcome to the program.

What did they say you said on that first strike?

Thanks for having me.

And by the way, I want people to know the reason I sound like a drug addict right now is because I'm incredibly sick.

The only thing I know is I don't have COVID, as seen by four negative tests.

So something else got in.

Turns out the normal flu is an actual thing.

So So everyone out there,

be careful.

It still exists.

Okay.

You're the one with the flu this year.

Okay.

Yes.

Yes.

You've now met the man who got the flu this year.

Wow.

That's weird.

It's rare now.

If I start hacking like I have emphysema, I apologize.

It's just

the name of the game.

But look, a couple of things.

There actually been technically what would be considered three strikes.

I want to be really clear to people listening here.

So first off, you can go and listen, obviously watch the show at the Blaze.

You know, you go sign up at The Blaze.

Our content is always available there.

And you can always listen to the free show that's usually on YouTube, on Apple, on Android, on Spotify.

Please, everyone out there, just go subscribe so that we don't lose touch with you.

We had technically what would be three strikes with YouTube, okay?

But one of them they counted as a warning for some reason.

And also, I want to set up.

We have filed a legal notice of a lawsuit and an immediate injunction from YouTube.

Because I know there's a lot of social media drama out there and there are counterclaims.

No, no.

This is the big one.

This is the big one with the Roman Empire at this point.

As a matter of fact, the Roman Empire couldn't even fathom the power of Alphabet, who run YouTube and Google.

So the first one

would have been a strike, but they considered it a warning for

actually going to voter addresses in person because I could not claim, and I would not claim that the ghost of Hugo Chavez came back and rigged the Dominion voting machine and the election was, wouldn't claim that.

But just like Elizabeth Warren, just like Amy Klobuchar, just like Jimmy Carter, we know that individual voter fraud happens.

And we know that with mail-in voting, it is more likely to happen.

There are far fewer securities.

So it started as a joke.

I was with my lawyer, and we narrowed it down to what I could do that would be defensible in a court of law was I went to the addresses.

I looked at the voter rolls, cross-referenced them with addresses where people voted, looked on Google Earth, saw that they weren't addresses, was told that's not enough because Google Earth isn't up to date.

And so I sent interns with a copy of that day's newspaper on camera live to that address to show that was an overpass or an empty lot.

That That was removed because it was considered a violation of discussing election policy.

Then after that, we did.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

How did they defend that?

They just said it's a violation of discussing election policy.

Okay, good.

So no defense.

All right.

Okay.

No defense.

This is something that's verified.

They could prove us wrong.

They could travel to these addresses.

They could do that.

But they didn't.

And then the next one was, this was the first real hard strike, I believe.

I may be wrong about the order, was was we did a one-year anniversary of 15 days to flatten the curve.

We were struck for going against CDC or World Health Organization guidance.

Here's the thing, the sources that we used, and we're the only show that I know does this, every single reference, every single source, we have a bibliography with every show.

It goes up on the website, lidoothcutter.com, every single episode.

And the primary sources we used in making our arguments was the CDC.

So we said on air, look, look, COVID is real.

Obviously, it's a problem.

We need to figure out how we deal with this.

It is significantly more lethal to old people than the flu.

However, it is significantly less lethal than the standard flu for whatever reason to young people, to young teenagers, to toddlers.

And that matters because we need to look at the immune response, and we do this with any other kind of a virus and see why people have different responses.

Well, that was considered a violation because it went against the TDC guidelines when we use the CDC mortality data.

So the explanations, Blood, I know that's your follow-up.

There is none.

It just went against the World World Health Organization guidelines.

The most recent one was simply, and this is why this is the second strike, and three strikes, you're off YouTube permanently.

This is how pernicious this is, Gwen.

The story of the officer who shot Makai Bryant in Ohio while she was mid-stab,

mid-stabbed, we said,

and I still don't apologize for this.

I stand by my statement.

I said, not only do I believe that this was a justified shooting on behalf of the police officer, I believe that it was a necessary shooting or it's an abdication of duty.

If a police officer can't shoot someone with a kitchen knife before it penetrates your flesh, they can't ever shoot someone.

They're not permitted to save someone's life.

And I do not want to see this.

And I didn't say it's a tragedy all around.

Look, it's a tragedy whenever any life is lost.

Would have been a far worse tragedy for that police officer to not take that shot and that other black girl to be stabbed when she had called the cops.

They said that that was bullying.

and harassment because we were allegedly reveling in the death of the girl who was shot.

So I want to be really clear about this, Glenn.

This isn't just, this isn't about me.

Everything that I've just expressed here, more than half the country agrees with.

If we are removed here from YouTube, and we have reason to believe that now they're looking and making, looking for other reasons to find violations, keep in mind, they've audited all of our content for years.

And these are brand new violations, sometimes with older content.

It's tantamount to saying no conservatives are welcome.

It's saying, hey, if you believe that an officer, if if you support an officer, not do you back the blue, if you support an officer for shooting someone who is stabbing somebody else, that's not welcome here.

If you support the science and saying, hey, we need to look at the death rates across different age ranges and see how this might affect treatment, your view is not welcome on YouTube.

Listen, and I'm very grateful.

I do not say this to boast you.

You know, I never talk about the numbers on our show because I want the content to speak for itself.

This is far and away the number one show on new media period.

We beat Kimmel, we beat Trevor Noah, we beat these guys every single day.

Every single day.

But it's not because of us, it is conservative views.

These views are not welcome.

And the reason that we have filed an injunction for immediate relief is to make sure that our channel is still up, that we know what steps to take next.

And Glenn, I don't know if there can be another Steven Crowder.

I don't know if there can be another Glenn Becker.

We don't know if there's going to be another Rush Limbaugh if three people

control all this information.

That guy.

Yeah, there won't be.

All right.

So

what'd you say?

I said, well, you know, I'm hoping to change that.

I'm only one guy, and I have a good lawyer, but I really, look, there are some people who live for the drama of social media.

Oh, I've been banned and I'm unbanned and I'm throttled.

Look, let me just give you an idea as to what we've had to do.

We've been throttled, sure.

There was a point where if you searched Steven Crowder, Change My Mind, abortion, you would find an old PBS video.

You wouldn't find anything from me.

We know that.

And so we changed our business model where we said we are going to stream live on YouTube, like your show on radio.

But no one does this online on YouTube.

We say we are streaming live weekdays at 10 a.m.

Eastern, okay?

Every day.

So that people, because they can't search and find us, if they subscribe or notifications, those work half the time.

They tune in anyway.

They set a bookmark.

They're not beholden to the social media ghettos.

And so we still have achieved these massive numbers because people seek the content out.

The only other option now is to remove us from the platform.

We want to do our work and we want to do good content, and we want to reach people and inspire people.

That's what I want to do.

I don't want to be bogged down with a lawsuit.

We asked YouTube for the rulebook, and we said, look, if this is not allowed on your platform, let us know, and we'll just do it on Mug Club and the Blaze, and we'll keep it vanilla here on YouTube as far as you'll let us go, and we won't violate it.

We won't even push that line.

We've been very clear about this.

The issue is they don't give the rule book, and then they make up new rules.

And in some cases, they can't even give us an explanation as to where we violated the rules.

You cannot run a business that way.

And I'm assumed to be father of two.

And I have 15 people who are employed here.

This is, I'm pro-business, okay?

I'm pro-open market.

I'm anti-fraud.

That's what this is about.

Here's what I would like you to do if you are listening to this program right now.

I want you to support Stephen Crowder.

Sign up for his mug club.

The reason why they had mug club is because they knew this kind of stuff was coming.

Sign up for the Blaze.

Stephen's voice will not be squelched on the Blaze, and the Blaze needs your support because we are all gathering.

You know, people with different talents, we've put all of our egos aside, and we have just said, let's come together and stand with one another because they're going to pick us off one by one.

Stephen can't be abandoned.

Stephen can't fight this by himself.

So join Mug Club.

Join the

podcast.

Also join the Blaze.

They've got merchandise

that they can sell.

This is,

as you can imagine, not a cheap fight when you're going against Google and YouTube.

The most important thing that Stephen said during this was sign up for the newsletter.

When he said we have to make sure we stay in touch, the only way that we can get your information is if you give it to us, if you sign up for our newsletters.

That way,

you're going to get them.

I just talked to somebody yesterday that said, I've been getting your Facebook notifications, but every time I press on it, it doesn't go to you.

It goes to somebody else.

And it's usually somebody that you don't agree with.

I don't know, but we know that these companies have throttled us, and they are not playing fair.

They're not telling us the truth.

They're not giving us the rules.

And we can see it in the numbers instantly.

We know when they've changed the algorithm or when they're monkeying around with our audience.

Can I say one thing here, Glenn?

I don't know how much time we have,

but it's important for people to note, look, I know that sometimes there have been people who've been removed from social media in the past, and people say, well, Alex Jones says crazy things.

And he does say crazy things.

I still didn't think that this man should be removed from the platform or they look at someone else they go well that person is extreme so their views aren't welcome and they say it's a it's a private business they can do whatever they want that's a whole discussion about 230 which we can get into another time however let's break this down here people may be offended by some jokes that i make fine i'm a comedian but youtube is saying These viewpoints are not welcome.

They are saying at this point, it's not some crazy conspiracy about George Soros, you know, having human puppeteers and lizard people.

My worldview is basic conservative Christian, okay?

The guy who is saying, wait until marriage to have sex, don't do drugs, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, personal responsibility, First Amendment, Second Amendment.

By the way, we need to look into the actual science of COVID and make sure we're rational.

And I think that police officers should be allowed to shoot when someone is stabbing somebody.

YouTube is saying, anyone out there who agrees with those statements, If you get big enough, you will be removed.

These are not extremist points of view.

As a matter of fact, some people would say that I'm not hard right enough, that I'm too moderate.

So I want to be really clear.

This is just the fact that we happen to have the biggest platform there now, and it's a problem.

No one can go through our catalog.

I defy anyone to go through our catalog and find some kind of radicalizing extremist point of view.

It doesn't exist.

And that's why we have a bigger share of our audience that are young liberals.

than any conservative in the world because they listen to what we have to say.

They go, oh, okay, that's reasonable.

So it it would be one thing if I was out there talking about lizard people or talking about some crazy global one-world conspiracy and how

Donald Trump won the election

until Maduro came out and switched the Dominion voting machines.

None of that.

It's basic conservatism.

They would ban Ronald Reagan.

And that's why this lawsuit has to happen.

I don't want to do it.

We have to do it.

Stephen Crowder, thank you very much.

Stephen Crowder, the host of Louder with Crowder,

just got his second hard strike on YouTube, and I can guarantee you they will find a third.

Just make sure that you join and stand with us as we stand together.

Stephen, thank you so much.

God bless.

You're listening to the best of the Glen Beck program.

I want to start in Israel this hour.

I want to show you a couple of things.

Now, Israel is called monstrous because they are

blowing up buildings and killing people.

Israel says, well, we call them.

We give them an hour to get out of the building.

We alert.

Okay, the same thing that the United States did.

We dropped 70 million notices all over the major cities in Japan and

named, I think, 10 cities where we might drop the world's most powerful bomb.

We said we had it.

They knew what those air raids had done over in Europe.

And we said, we have one bomb that will do more damage than all of the fire bombings that were done in

Germany.

So please get out of these cities.

We sent 70 million notes.

Please, it's coming.

It's coming to one of these, I think, 10 or 7 cities.

And there will be a shortage of food, of water.

Get your families out.

We are not trying to destroy you, but these cities are part of your military-industrial complex, and we will destroy them.

Please surrender.

And if your government doesn't surrender, this is what's going to happen.

Get out of those cities.

Nobody ever talks about that.

Nobody ever does that.

Except for Israel.

What?

Did you hear the Ayatollah in Iran say, oh, by the way,

we're going to bomb.

Oh, by the way,

we're sending in terrorists?

No.

They don't do that.

Nobody does that.

Israel is being blamed and called a monster.

They just released

an audio clip of them calling

a building owner

saying,

We're going to bomb your building.

You need to get everyone out.

This isn't the first call.

This is the second call.

I want you to listen and I'll translate for you.

That is the

Palestinian.

That is the

Israeli.

Okay, now I want to translate what they're saying.

The Palestinian says, I can't get all of the people out.

I need at least two hours to get them out.

The Israeli says, listen, we are going to bomb the building.

You want to bomb?

Bomb whatever you want.

No, brother.

We need to do everything we can so you and other people don't die.

We want to die, but you have a responsibility for children's lives.

If the children need to die, then they'll die.

God forbid, God forbid.

Why do you want to die?

Now tell me,

tell me that Israel is the bad guy.

If children need to die, then they'll die.

Okay.

Where does that kind of philosophy come from?

Hear me, America.

I told you

probably 15 years ago, what is being done to us is exactly what has been done to the Palestinian people.

The Palestinian people, and I realized this on my first trip to Israel.

I went to Israel and I was in the old city, and

it's all quartered.

So there's a Palestinian section, there's a Jewish section.

And

when you're walking through it, because it's one small city, you're walking through it, and it's like how in America you can go from the suburbs and it's nice, and then it slowly starts to get more trash on the highway, and it starts to get broken down.

And then, if you keep driving a while later, you're in the slums.

In Israel, in the old city of Jerusalem, because it's so small

and it's so old and a walled city, you take three steps, literally, and you're in the slum.

And so it goes from beautiful, bright, clean, well-maintained.

You walk through one archway, and you're in a dirty, dingy, broken-down part.

And the first time I was in the, that's the Palestinian section of Jerusalem, and I'm walking through, and it's dark and dingy and dirty and uncomfortable.

And I take

I walk through an archway, literally, just an archway.

I walk through the archway, and all of a sudden it's bright and clean, and upscale stores, and it's like, it's a different, entirely different place.

And I stopped and I said to my guide, what just happened?

Where are we?

Why is this so different than what is six feet behind me?

And the guide said,

this is the Israeli section.

That's the Palestinian section.

So I realized that

in many cases, being in the slums is a state of mind.

Not in all cases, but in the case of the Palestinians, for sure.

The Palestinians have been told, don't cooperate with the Israelis.

Don't go to work for an Israeli.

They're holding you back.

They're keeping you down.

Israel knows the whole world is against them.

The whole world doesn't want to work with the Jews.

The whole world has tried to kill them 19 times in Holocausts.

They know.

They just went, you know what?

So then I have to count on myself.

And they get the job done.

And I realize it's very similar to what we have going on here in America.

You have those people who are trying to keep people down by saying, you know, who's

them over there.

You've got, you need me because those guys, oh, they'll kill you.

Those guys, they're trouble over there.

They They want your children to starve.

They don't care about your children.

They don't care about schools.

They don't care about crime.

In fact, the police are part of it.

That's what happens in Israel.

That's what's happening here.

We are being balkanized.

We are being split apart because of our politicians and because of our media.

If we didn't have media, social media like we had right now, I contend none of this would be further.

It would be moving, but

we would be a much different place and be in a much better place.

It's just moving at hyper speed because it's everywhere now.

If you think there's a problem

with critical race theory, but you don't want to get involved, Let me show you when politics takes over schools,

this is what happens to your children.

Here are two kids, Palestinian kids, and they want to recite a poem

about the Jews.

And here it is.

I'll translate.

Listen to them.

Two little girls.

Probably six years old.

Okay, here's what they're saying.

You can turn it down just a bit, let it run.

I do not fear the rifle, because your throngs are in delusion and ignorant herds.

That sounds like a six-year-old.

Jerusalem is my land.

Jerusalem is my honor.

Jerusalem is my days and my wildest dreams.

O you who murdered Allah's pious prophets.

O you who were brought up on spilling blood.

You have been doomed to humiliation and hardships.

O sons of Zion on most evil

among creations.

O barbaric monkeys and wretched pigs.

Jerusalem is not your den.

Jerusalem opposes your throngs.

Jerusalem vomits from within it your impurity, because Jerusalem, your impure ones, is pious, immaculate.

And Jerusalem, you who are filth, is clean and pure.

I do not fear barbarity.

As long as my heart is in my Quran and my city, as long as I have my arms and my stories, as long as I am free, I do not have to barter my cause.

I will not fear your throngs.

I will not fear the rifle.

Where do you get that?

You think mom and dad are at home teaching them?

I think maybe some places, some places, yeah, sure, some homes are doing that.

But for the most part, that's what they get in schools.

Their school books are all like this.

Once you politicize your school, you get a little Hitler youth.

Where do you think the Palestinians got these tactics?

From Adolf Hitler.

That's not hyperbole.

That's fact.

The Palestinians' Grand Mufti of the 1930s was all about Adolf Hitler because they could kill Jews.

And that's what the Palestinian Authority wanted.

to kill Jews.

That's why Hamas, it's in its charter, kill all the Jews.

That's why the Grand Mufti had plans of building concentration camps and furnaces, ovens, and gas chambers all over Palestinian land.

That's what's coming.

That's what's happening.

That's what's now happening on our streets.

Play the video, please.

In Hollywood, California, some people who were Palestinian supporters, they drive by, they're waving these big flags, and they're shouting at people on the street in this Jewish section of Hollywood.

And

they get out of the car, and they come walking down the street, and they say, hey, any of you Jews?

And Jewish people are not ones to sit down, at least now.

And they said, yes.

You have a problem with that?

Oh, and the Palestinians did.

And they beat one guy almost to death.

Here's the video of it.

This is happening in Hollywood in California.

I just spoke to Dave Rubin about three days ago.

And Dave and I were having dinner and he said, Glenn,

I don't think they're, I don't think it's long before they're beating Jews in the streets in California.

He said, as a Jewish person, I am very concerned.

I said, you're right.

He said, I think I need to get out.

He just bought a new house there.

I think I need to get out.

Yes.

Yes.

Stop denying the reality of what is really happening in our country.

The best of the Glen Bank program.

Let's go to Brian Lilly,

who is up in Canada.

He is kind of a he's, I mean, he's really, he's really a blaze kind of guy, but he's Canadian.

So I don't know.

How you doing, Brian?

Here's the Blue Jays fan.

Thank you.

Thank you.

America's team, Brian.

Playing in America.

Even Canadians are not not Blue Jays fans.

What?

How dare you?

I don't know.

They're doing pretty good against the Red Sox right now, but let's fill you in on that.

All right, let's talk a little bit about what's going on in the COVID-19 lockdowns.

First of all, are you guys getting any vaccines up there?

We are getting

increased doses, and that's leading to what you want the vaccines to do, which is fewer people going into hospital, fewer people dying.

And so the Trudeau government's doing a victory lap right now, saying we're about to pass the United States in the number of vaccine doses.

Only if you look at, as one doctor put it, only the first half of the test, we're about to surpass you in first doses.

But while you guys are closing in on about 45% of your adult population having both doses,

we're at 3.5%.

So that's pretty amazing.

Well,

3% of your population because you are far more populated than the United States.

So

yeah.

We're getting some, but we're still behind you guys.

All right.

So

we're having a problem now.

Our CDC has come out and said, you got to...

you got to take off the mask, you know.

Texas just said no masks, no masks.

In fact,

just passed legislation that said no masks in the fall for schools.

Don't even talk about it.

And some places like New York, and I fear Canada is going to be like this, they don't want to get rid of the masks.

They feel naked without them.

Well, I think it was the Atlantic was the first place I saw a story like this, the liberals that won't give up on COVID restrictions, you know.

And the New York Times had a piece the other day about a guy who wears a KN95 mask, followed by a cloth mask on top of it, then goggles.

And he does this even though he's had COVID and has been double vaccinated.

And he's sometimes he's going to do it for the next five years just until he's...

It's a mental disorder.

It's a mental disorder.

I would agree.

And look, I'm on the side of freedom.

If you want or feel like you need to wear a mask and some people are more susceptible to disease than others, then go ahead.

We've never really had the mandate to wear a mask outdoors up here.

So I know some places in the States have gone that route.

We haven't done that.

Some people still do.

That's fine.

You do your thing.

I think that's weird, but I don't wear a mask outdoors and I wear them where I have to.

So common areas of the condo building I'm in.

You know, a lot of stores you go into, well, pretty much all of them, you've got to wear a mask.

I don't want to cause the store clerks headaches.

But when the snow melts up in Canada around August 15th

and before it snows again, like August 17th or 18th,

aren't you going to see population going outside and not wearing masks?

Because that's what happens here.

We'll go outside and some people are still alone walking their dog wearing a mask, but they're weirdos.

Most people are just going out and enjoying it.

They are.

And I do want to point out that I am currently further south of where you grew up, Glenn Beck.

Are you really?

And you're in Canada?

That's not possible.

Your map is not.

Although your home state of Washington is north of where I am.

North of Washington.

You are sadly mistaken.

You're sadly mistaken.

That's a straight line.

Look,

I go out walking the dog and do not wear a mask.

It's probably about 50-50.

And I think as the weather gets warmer, we're

approaching into the low 70s today.

I think you're going to see less and less.

You know, it's a park just down the street from me, and we're not supposed to mix outside a household.

I don't know.

When I see these people all young and they're outdoors having a few brown pops and a meal,

I'm guessing they're not from the same household.

So,

Brian, do you think the government is ⁇ I mean, these arrests of these pastors, I'm sure some of them, you know, are trying to make a name for themselves.

Others, I think, are honest in their belief that they need to continue to have services.

Is the government hostile towards religion?

Because it's always seemed that Canada was kind of lean in that way.

Is that what's happening?

Well, a lot of it comes down to the local government because,

you know, enforcement of these sorts of things, like you guys, we've got the three levels.

We've got the federal, state, we've got provincial, and then you've got the local municipality.

And

so in some cases, like there's a church that was doing drive-in services.

And they were trying to comply.

They put up a, they bought a specific PA system that would transmit on a local radio frequency.

So you drove in and, you know, you got one of those radio signals that you'd hate to be on that station, 90.1 or whatever.

Right.

No one will find your radio station, but you can find the pastor.

And the cars were spaced six feet apart and the windows had to be up.

Those guys were still being harassed.

And so I think people like that, I think it was the Church of God in Elmer, Ontario, that guy's just getting harassed by local police and local officials.

And there was a backlash against that, and they backed off.

Then there's others, like there's a pastor in Calgary, and you probably saw his viral video on Good Friday.

The cop showed up, and he's a Polish immigrant who lived under communism, and he let rip and was screaming at them.

Arthur Powalski is his name, and I've interviewed him before, and he's kind of halfway in the middle.

Halfway, he's sometimes persecuted, half-time, he's looking for the fight.

In that instance.

Well, but if you, but in, but hang on just a second i give him more latitude because he's lived under it so he's very sensitive to right

in that instance he was completely right other times he knows he's going out to provoke things okay and so it really it really just depends and and often it depends on on the local officials most of the the churches have like i i i'm across the street from a big catholic church and just down the street from uh an evangelical Hillsong church.

Both of them, before the government said anything, had already pivoted to online streaming services.

You know, join us at this time.

And as cases and, you know, how transmissible it was, you know, the R-Factory and all of that, as those things have gone up and down, they've either opened up for a bit with restrictions.

closed down again.

You know, a lot of the churches are interested.

They want to keep their congregations safe.

Sure.

And so

they're trying to work.

So it really is a mix.

What's weird is that in Alberta, where we seem to be having most of the trouble, the guy running the province is a very religious guy.

But there's also, I guess, the local officials may not be.

So there's a lot of weird things going on.

Canada is a bit less religious oriented than the U.S.

You can definitely say that, though.

Real quick, because I've got only about a minute for you to answer this, if you can, we just had in the American Medical Association, they are planning now, and I'm quoting, to embed racial justice into the medical profession.

Terrifying.

We have critical race theory in our schools.

Are you getting all that crap as well?

We are literally importing it.

from your radicals and the spelling will be different so we can tell it's American and some of the things that they talk about it hasn't even happened in this country, but they'll just import everything and they don't even check it.

Why?

Because it's not actually about dealing with racism or issues in that effect.

It's about being woke.

It's about

being on the right side of the political left.

I never thought we would be exporting hate, and now we are.

I apologize for

what our country is appearing to be.

Thank you, Brian.

I appreciate it.
