All right, okay, all right.

Okay, all right.

We all want to do our part, right?

No, no,

you conservatives don't.

Anybody, anybody who's living in a red state, you just want to kill grandma.

Well, let me tell you something.

Last week, the U.S., the UK health officials said that mask mandates and social distancing could go on for years.

Isn't that exciting?

For years.

Now, could I ask you a question?

How is that happening at all?

How is that possible at all?

I mean, we've got two vaccines.

They're about to hit the market.

They're 95% effective.

Wait.

I thought we had to do these things until we got a vaccine.

Okay, now we have a vaccine.

Well, we have to wait until it's injected in people's arms.

Now it's going to be injected in people's arms.

95% effective.

Why do we still have to do all these things?

Why?

Now, if you are caught defying this, you will be shut down, you'll be silenced, and as we're seeing lately, fired.

A doctor in Oregon attended a Trump rally a month ago.

He had the audacity to have a different opinion.

He told attendees that they could take off their masks, and none of his staff wore masks for COVID in his office.

Oh my gosh!

He's a danger to society.

We have killed him, haven't we?

We didn't just fire him.

We didn't just take away

his license to practice medicine.

I hope we've killed him.

Well, he was already on the Oregon Medical Board's radar.

Back in July, he actually had the gall to tell a patient that wearing a mask doesn't prevent the spread of the virus.

He advocated for something crazy called herd immunity.

What a quack.

We should kill him.

Well, the masters of the universe, aka the scientists that will tow the party line, have been telling us lately on their televised hits on MSNBC and the like,

we're supposed to lock ourselves in our homes.

We're supposed to close the family business.

We're supposed to put a mask on even in our Zoom calls.

Sit down and take it.

Now here we have a doctor, a man of science, saying,

that's stupid.

Shouldn't his opinion be taken seriously?

Of course not.

Of course not.

Not according to the state of Oregon Medical Board, because they launched a little investigation.

And apparently that little Trump rally was the last straw.

And they officially suspended his medical license for, quote, gross negligence, claiming he, quote, actively promotes transmission of the virus within the extended community.

Yep, that's what he was doing.

That's what he was doing.

He wasn't questioning masks.

He was promoting the transmission of the virus within the extended community.

Oh, see, you see, if everybody would just wear a mask, we'd be able to crush the virus and end the pandemic.

Why do you not care about your fellow Americans?

Why?

Did you not listen to the public health experts?

Because the problem's not them.

The problem is you.

Because you won't wear a mask.

Have you seen the numbers in the hospitals?

They're going up.

This pandemic is getting worse.

And because you wanted Thanksgiving, and now I suppose you want Christmas as well.

Well, you go ahead and kill more people.

Why don't you?

Well, unfortunately, now we're going to have to fire all of the people at Carnegie Mellon University.

But they have developed a very informative, consistently updated mask compliance tracker just to find out who's wearing a mask and who's not.

Oh yeah, Santa is coming to town and he knows who's wearing a mask and who's not.

Well, according to Carnegie Mellon University, the overwhelming majority of Americans across the nation are wearing masks.

In fact, in virtually every major population center in the United States, especially in areas where COVID-19-19 cases are rising, mask compliance levels are off the charts, with most major metro areas registering well over 90% compliance.

So wait a minute.

The lockdowns failed and we were told masking up.

If you could just mask up, do you remember?

Mask up.

If we could just mask up over 80%,

we'll do more to reduce COVID-19 spread than a strict lockdown.

Really?

So universal masking at 80%.

If 80% of us just adopt that, that flattens the curve significantly more than maintaining a strict lockdown.

Scientists told us, quote, we'll not only be able to flatten the curve, we'll be able to significantly reduce the spread of this virus and return to life as normal sooner rather than later.

Oh,

okay.

Well, are we doing it at 80%?

San Francisco, 97%

mask compliance.

Hey, how's COVID doing in San Francisco?

It must be flattening.

New York City, 97%

compliance.

Hey, how's New York doing?

It's flattening, right?

Cuomo's got it under control.

D.C., 97% of the people there are wearing masks all the time.

Dallas, Fort Worth, yeah, it's just like those people in Texas.

They don't care about people.

Yeah, 94% compliant.

Philly, 96.

Chicago, 95.

Miami, 96.

Seattle, 96.

Now,

now, these are the places that have had the harshest lockdowns.

I mean, unless you're in the movie business and in California, then you can pretty much do whatever you want.

But,

I mean, we're looking at science, right?

They have the harshest lockdowns and restrictions in the country, and they're over 80% compliant.

In fact, well over 80% compliant.

It's almost like those masks and lockdowns don't do jack crap

for corona.

Not the beer, the virus.

Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh.

So we have overwhelmingly exceeded the mask compliance that was supposed to flatten the curve and reduce the transmission of the virus.

So is it us?

Or is it maybe that it's wrong?

Maybe the so-called public health experts should shut the pie hole.

Maybe they could learn something from listening to a few different opinions.

No, no, no.

No, you know what?

People are always blessed.

They're always blessed.

And things always get better when you stifle and shut down, shove, shoot, or kill anyone who has a different opinion.

That's how we got to the moon, guys.

We had one guy in charge said, this is the only way, and I'm going to kill everybody else.

That's how we got to the moon.

Yeah, I've read it in a brand new history book.

For the overlords of control, there is no dissent.

There is no choice.

You do it.

And if you don't, prepare to be dealt with.

It's pretty amazing.

You know, by the way, that's exactly what de Blasio said about the restaurant owner that is daring to defy him.

He said, quote, there will be significant

repercussions for this, end quote.

Oh, Java.

I don't mean to make you sound, it should be more like this.

Yes.

Yes, sounds very good.

Maybe we put them into chamber downstairs and I break legs.

A few weeks ago in Oregon, a nurse was put on administrative leave for admitting that she didn't wear a mask.

Not at work.

But when she was off duty, she was fired.

She made the statement on TikTok.

Now she doesn't have a job.

TikTok.

Goes on and on.

Guy working at a gas station in Indiana fired for not wearing a mask.

Professor at NYU now fighting for his career for making anti-mask statements during class.

We got him in basement.

Oh, he's going to meet nutrition in just a minute.

You work at a casino in Vegas?

Management already told their employees, if you don't wear a mask, you'll be fired.

By the way, the new one is, if you don't get the vaccine, you're going to get fired.

Oh, yeah, there's a new, this is really great coming from Silicon Valley.

There's a new app that will show if you've complied.

It'll be your digital passport to go places.

Because if you don't have a digital passport that shows, yes, you've had the vaccine, you can't go anywhere.

Water park manager in Wisconsin sent an email questioning the face mask policies.

Questioning, he was fired.

In Dallas, Texas, two election workers were fired for not wearing masks, even though Governor Abbott specifically made mask exemptions for poll workers.

Restaurant owner in Florida actually cited by, get this, code enforcement officers.

Yeah,

und we like them for not wearing a mask.

They came back two days later, this time with police, found out he was still wasn't wearing one, he was fired.

But it's not even the actual act of not wearing a mask that will get you in trouble, just a mere opinion.

This is so American.

I just want to break out into la la la la la la la la la la la.

This American national anthem, isn't it?

Yeah.

I just want to break out every time I see that somebody who has a different opinion is being finally silenced.

Thank God.

Or not God.

We don't believe in God here anymore.

Of course not.

He's in the gulag.

The Vancouver Canucks.

Their beloved anthem singer was just recently fired for refusing to wear a mask while singing at at a rally organized by anti-mask advocates.

We've got to stop them.

Yes, they're even leaking out and going in the middle of the night underneath our borders to places like Canada.

It's a country.

I'll tell you about it later.

A member of the public school advisory board in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, also recently fired for committing the cardinal sin of questioning masks.

There will be no questions.

There will be no toys.

I could go further, but I think the message is pretty clear.

You're not allowed to have a different opinion.

We get it.

You'll be destroyed for the mere thought that science isn't clear here because it's science.

When is science ever wrong?

Well, maybe because I am a doctor, I don't know if you know this.

Maybe it's the doctor coming out in me, but I'm old enough to remember that it used to be a good thing to question science.

Actual scientists did it and encouraged other actual scientists to do it too.

What was it called again?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The scientific method.

See, it was part of the process in those old, ancient, dusty times where you would question things and then you'd have to prove it, and new stats would come in, new evidence would come in, and if it didn't match up with your claims, the scientific method said you should change your behavior.

But now,

they clutch their pearls every time someone questions the science of things like wearing masks or even,

dare I say it, climate change.

How dare me even say that?

Because it's not like science has ever been proved wrong before, right?

Remember when scientists used to say that the shape of someone's skull proved how intelligent you might be or we could tell by the shape of their skull if they're Jews or not.

Yeah, bigots and racists never took advantage of science, did they?

What about when the scientist of all scientists, Albert Einstein, said the universe was static and not expanding?

Well, it's not.

We should never question that.

We wouldn't question Albert Einstein.

How about in 1982, when Dr.

William McBride claimed his research on a morning sickness drug proved that it caused birth defects.

So the drug was taken off the market.

Lots of lawsuits.

Later found out he and his assistants, they all changed and altered the data to prove his claim.

Yeah, found guilty of scientific fraud by medical tribunal.

Geez, I hope we shot him.

They're questioning science.

You damn right we're questioning science.

In fact, question with boldness everything.

Everything.

Especially when the holy name of science is evoked to strip you of your rights, your livelihood, and God-given, constitutionally guaranteed freedom.

Do not give in to being bludgeoned into submission.

You're smart enough to make decisions regarding your own personal safety.

We are masking up.

Stop blaming us.

Wear a mask, don't wear one.

You know what's best for your situation.

We don't need the government to impose these decisions on us.

And any attempt to do so should be viewed for exactly what it actually is.

Fascism.

Now later on, I'm going to have an opinion or two.

Stand by.

Patriot Mobile, switching your phone service used to be a big deal.

You had to consider whether a new phone company's coverage was good, whether not the phones and the plans were comparable.

So much easier than it used to be.

Everybody's using the same towers.

The phones and the plans are pretty much compatible across the board.

They used to be.

I want you to consider switching right now to Patriot Mobile.

They're running a brand new Christmas promotion.

Did you see?

Don't get me started on what's happening.

With Christmas because of COVID.

Well, they're starting a new Christmas promotion.

Until December 19th, get a Samsung Samsung A11 for yourself and for someone close.

That's two phones, absolutely free.

Or bring your own phone and get a free month of service.

Patriot Mobile, the nation's only Christian mobile company.

And unlike some big mobile companies, they're not killing babies with some of their money.

Ooh, did I say that out loud?

Just go to patriotmobile.com slash beck.

Patriotmobile.com slash beck.

Call their U.S.-based customer service as well at 972-Patriot if it's easier, 972-Patriot.

Check them out.

Same service, lower price.

They celebrate Christmas.

Jesus wants you to do this.

I don't have that on good authority.

I'm just saying.

10 Second Station ID.

Well, there's been a shake-up at the Open Society Foundation, George Soros.

Over the weekend, he announced that Lord Mark Malik Brown.

You know, I like to have all my employees have the

moniker of Lord.

You know what I mean?

What about the ladies?

Oh, they can be lords, too.

Okay.

Lords bleed.

I don't know why that's relevant per se.

Well, I'm just saying.

Hop on board.

Okay.

This train has left the station.

Nevertheless, it persisted.

Anyway, so there was a little shake-up at the Open Society Foundation, and he has decided to appoint

as a replacement for Patrick Gaspard at the helm of his major foundation,

the guy who

was the president of SmartMatic Voting Machines.

I don't know why that's important.

He's lord.

He's a lord of maybe the underworld now.

Lord Mark Malik Brown.

He also happened to, you know, do some work for SmartMatic.

What's the problem with that?

Stu's looking at me like, what a conspiracy theorist.

I'm just reading the news.

That's all I'm doing.

You're just asking questions.

Like you always are.

Right.

You have no opinions.

You're just asking questions.

I'm only asking questions.

Like, was he there

when they got a $200,000 equity investment from

Venezuela?

I'm just wondering, was he, I mean, was he there?

Was he, you know,

what does he think about the election?

He's got to be pretty excited or maybe not.

Maybe he's a big Trump supporter.

I don't know, but

congratulations on that upgrade from SmartMatic

to the Open Society Foundation with George Soros.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

It's really good to see when good people have good things happen.

Haven't seen it in a while, but the holiday season has finally arrived.

And for many timeshare owners, you love it because it means maintenance fees are right around the corner.

Am I being too sarcastic today?

We all know the bills are due at the first of the year, so scratch something else off that holiday list.

Like, I don't know, your timeshare.

Because of the shutdowns, your annual destination probably went to waste.

And I'm guessing that's not the first time that you weren't able to book your vacation for where and when you wanted to go, was it?

All right.

Get out of your timeshare.

There is a way to make this change.

Timeshare Termination Team.

I want you to go to timeshare termination team.com.

Get the process started.

Don't keep putting it off.

Don't get stuck with another year of timeshare that you're not going to use.

The Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to Tuesday.

We have.

Do we have the Attorney General from Texas on coming on today?

Do you know?

Not confirmed yet.

I can't wait to talk to him about a lawsuit that Texas is now filing.

We'll tell you about it coming up in a little while.

But Texas is filing a lawsuit against four other states saying,

you know, we played by the rules.

You broke the rules of the Constitution.

And we have standing in this.

I don't understand how Donald Trump doesn't have standing or how we, the American people, don't have standing in this election.

It's our country.

What more do you need?

That's how they just dismissed the supposed Kraken lawsuits.

No standing.

Wait, they're American citizens.

They don't have standing in this election for it to be free and fair?

Come on.

I really want to know.

And by the way, if any of this goes to the Supreme Court, do you see Ted Cruz said he'll argue the case?

I saw that.

Yeah, that's good.

And has he,

it's my understanding, he's never lost before the Supreme Court.

Right?

He's had nine cases, I think, before the Supreme Court and one of them all.

He's got to get there.

Yeah, he does.

He's got to get there.

Okay, I want to welcome to Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleash, the podcast you can get and listen to every day.

Very funny.

He does it right before this broadcast.

Not to mention, profound.

Funny and profound.

That's what people are saying.

Those are the two words that come up the most: funny and profound.

Well,

I think it's all the deep, deep science work that you have done.

Yes.

That's why I wanted to ask you about the Israeli space program, the former head of the space program, for almost 30 years.

For 30 years.

Now, I didn't know that Israel had a space program.

But I love that they do.

Yeah.

But

he told newspapers yesterday that aliens have been secretly interacting with the U.S.

and Israeli government for years.

He said at one point, Trump wanted to expose their existence, but the UFOs have asked not to publish that they are here because humanity isn't ready yet.

Well, I'm glad he just did it anyway.

Trump, he says, was on the verge of revealing, but the aliens of the Galactic Federation are saying, wait, let people calm down first.

They don't want to start mass hysteria.

Yeah.

They want to make sure that

we're sane and that we understand.

Well, that's not going to happen ever.

I don't think ever, ever.

Ever will we be sane?

So,

I mean, my first thought is is

he's 87 he's got a little joe biden going on in you know what i'm saying yeah

um

however

however

hasn't it been odd how since donald trump has been president all of these things have come it seems like it seems like the alien network is the only one that understood hey he's a big distraction let's just dump all this information out there And then,

you know, in four years, when they're like, wait, the Pentagon said that they had an extraterrestrial device and a plane.

And now they're reverse engineering it.

Right.

Then you can say, yeah, that's old news.

That came out a long time ago.

That is the way to do it.

It is.

Yeah.

Just pop it out there.

Wait, wait, for like, you know, there'll be some other big story.

Like, you know, the McRib is back in stores this week.

Wait till that comes out and then just leak out the alien information.

No one pays attention.

McRibby is the McRib.

People are like, oh my God, where's the McRib?

Which store do I go to?

Wait, isn't that meat pressed to look like rib?

You're right.

Like, it looks like it's bone, but it's sort of meat.

And it's just pressed into a rib shape.

And that.

Yeah, it's not.

You look at it and it looks like it has bones in it, but it does not have bone in it.

There's absolutely no bone in it.

No.

It's like boneless chicken wings without any meat.

Right.

So he goes on.

And he goes on to say there's an agreement between the U.S.

government and the aliens.

They signed a contract with us to do experiments here.

Well, you know, I understand that because there's nobody that loves experiments, you know, more than the Israeli people.

What?

I don't think so.

Yeah.

They too are researching, trying to understand the whole fabric of the universe, and they want us as helpers.

It's really cool because there's also a secret underground base on Mars.

The depths of Mars.

Where there are American and alien representatives.

So that's going to be helpful

if we ever get to Mars with the alien bus thing.

They're going to be able to.

Worry about it.

Come on down.

Come on down.

We're set.

We're set.

He said, if I would have come up with what I'm saying five years ago, I would have been hospitalized.

Wherever I've gone in this with academia, they've said the man has lost his mind.

Today, they're already talking differently.

I have nothing to lose.

I've received my my degrees, my rewards.

I'm respected in universities abroad where there's a trend also changing.

So

is he saying people are ready to accept this?

Is this what he's saying?

Seems like.

I think so.

And with the Pentagon report, he might be right.

I mean, there is some legitimacy to this stuff now.

Did you see last week what the Pentagon released?

With the giant triangle-shaped ship that came out of the water?

No.

Oh my gosh.

What?

Yeah.

I don't know why this isn't going everywhere.

This is huge.

So the Pentagon, the Pentagon released video.

It had already been smuggled out of the Pentagon.

This shows, you know, that they're hiding information.

It had already been smuggled out.

I think it happened in 2017, I think.

And they confirmed and re-released the video and said, yes, this was taken by our

jets and also tracked by our warships.

And it was this gigantic triangle-shaped ship that came out from underneath the ocean.

That was an episode of Sequest.

I know.

And they tracked it going 300 knots underwater.

No.

Yes.

Look it up.

Look it up.

Oh, that is unbelievable.

I mean, what the hell happened?

How did you not hear about that?

I know.

The Pentagon released that?

The Pentagon released it last week.

Didn't we talk about this?

I don't think so.

Not while I was here.

Maybe we didn't.

There's so many things going on.

It kind of is like, you know, maybe they should readjust our priorities.

And they had footage of it.

Yeah, they had footage of it.

And they tracked it.

And it stops.

It goes up in the air and then it stops.

That is.

And then it kind of spins around.

And you hear the pilots going, look at that.

Look at that.

It just stops and then just flips around.

Yeah, that's

literally.

There is a sequest.

Like, do you remember the show Sequest?

There

is a show where a giant UFO comes out of the sea and it had been there for like, I don't know, a million years or something.

And they reawoken it.

And it just came up out of the ocean and flew back off into space.

Well, this time they released that there is, they are,

they didn't use the word targeting.

They said something along the lines of

there is

some special concern with these ships that they are observing our Navy,

our Air Force, and our nuclear weapon sites.

Why?

I mean,

the technology to get here from somewhere else where there's life would have to be such that

you don't need to spy on us.

One of the guys who are safe than sorry, though, Pat.

Yeah.

You know what I think?

I think

you plan for the worst.

It'd be like us spying on ants to see what they're doing in their ant hill.

How do they build those?

That's what it would be like.

Have you ever tried to kill ants in Texas?

They're not studying us.

They would.

Have you ever tried to kill ants in Texas?

It's among the five most difficult things in the world to do.

They always come back and they always eat your children.

Always.

That's how it ends every time.

I had 10 kids.

I only have two now.

Wow.

Is this talking about ants or aliens?

Alien ants.

I think the ants are the aliens.

I think they've been here the whole time looking underground.

So let me ask you: if they came down and they were big octopus people and they were like, yes, we look just like on The Simpsons.

Don't you guys know that guy is a genius and a soothsayer?

And he came down and they were like, yes, and we're here.

We come and peek.

First of all,

do you think that there's a chance we just don't try to blow them up anyway?

Just

try to?

No, I think we try to.

Yeah, we try to blow them up.

So that's a bad thing for them and most likely for us for us.

Yeah, because we're not going to win.

No,

we're just going to wind up trying to blow them up.

They're going to, any hope they had of a good relationship is going to go up in flames.

So does this, does this at all, would this shake your faith at all?

Because nowhere in the scriptures does it say, and in those days,

aliens show up.

I mean,

you know, that would be kind of a big deal.

It would be

weird.

Unless that's like the heavens open up.

Yeah, and aliens spill out.

So, well,

instead of angels, aliens are spilling out in children.

Well, maybe they're the angels.

It would be weird.

Maybe they're the angels.

I don't know.

If they didn't look like us, I think that would...

I would be confused by that because I would assume they would look like us.

White?

Came from the

white race.

Yeah, white.

They have to be white.

If they're green or something, they're green.

We're just going to reject them.

No, you can't be on our planet.

Sorry, nope.

Of course, we're going to nuke them if they're a different color.

Unless their bodies are shaped exactly as ours are.

Okay, all right.

Last question.

Green Lives Matter.

Ask question.

Last question.

And I mean this sincerely.

Odds that we

see an alien announcement

with maybe the alien standing next to or in our sky or something like that

in the next, in our lifetime.

In our lifetime.

Oh, well, what is this?

What is this?

No, I mean like an actual life.

Like an announcement.

Like the president steps up and like,

I want you to meet Goreb over here.

That's his name?

Yeah, Goreb.

Goreb.

What planet is he from?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'm not limiting it.

I just want Goreb as far as I'm willing to go out on it.

So someone who lives on another planet is announced in a press conference.

In a press conference.

In the United States.

And it's credible.

It's not like me holding the press conference going, hey,

this is Goreb.

Right.

Like, he comes out

and he slithers to stage.

Whatever.

Whatever.

He could walk.

He might look like us.

He may not look like us.

He may want to destroy us.

He may be dressed as Gandhi or Jesus.

But a major U.S.

official making this announcement.

Yeah, or the world official, you know, the way it always happens.

Before 2020, I definitely would have said 0%.

But I mean, now 85, 90%.

I don't know.

No, seriously,

I would have said maybe 5%,

maybe, in my lifetime, five years ago.

But with everything that has come out in the last four or five years, it's pretty hard to

dismiss because it's no longer kooks.

It's the Pentagon.

Maybe they're all kooks.

That's possible.

That's likely.

I'm still going to say zero.

Zero.

I don't think there's any chance of that.

I'm up to a solid 1%, I think, now.

Really?

I've gone from zero to one.

Have you really?

Well, because I mean, my guess is this is probably some military craft or something.

I mean, we're pretty amazing, and we come up with a lot of really crazy things that we would not be able to explain five or 10 years earlier than discovering them.

So I don't think, you know.

I got to tell you, after 2020,

I say 2021, after this, just this election,

vampire space bunnies in a week.

Absolutely possible.

I'm surprised 90, 85, 90%.

85, 90% vampire space bunnies take occupation and they kill us all.

But we don't know it because they're cute little bunnies.

Right.

And we're like, oh, no, I don't kill you nobody.

And they drink our blood.

Wait, what was the last part?

By February.

This is actually the major U.S.

official making the announcement.

It's Glenn.

This time every year around the end of the month,

you know,

you'll have a break-in at your house.

You know, I think it's the same guy, you know, breaking in my house.

White hair, beard.

It reminds me of somebody handsome.

Who has white hair and a beard?

Anyway,

I plugged him with some buckshot a couple of times, but he always seems to come back.

Well, not this year, because I've got SimplySafe.

When that fat bastard comes in, I am telling you right now, he is going to jail.

What a stupid thief, too.

He leaves stuff.

Anyway, 50% off any SimplySafe system and a free security camera, an amazing deal.

We have James Alticher on coming up in just a little while.

Also,

Danny Presti and Louis

Gelarmano.

These are the people that own PAX, Max Public House that have been arrested for defying COVID-19 restrictions.

The Staten Island guys, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And they're going to pay.

They're going to pay big.

So we have them coming up.

That's in our three.

James Altichure is also going to be with us.

I want to talk to him a little bit about the lockdowns and the masks

and what it's doing to New York City.

New York City is toast.

He was right.

It is toast.

I don't see it coming back.

Ever or just for a while?

Not a long, long time.

Things are going to have to really change.

James basically says never.

I don't think it'll ever be like it was when we were there.

I mean, I just don't know.

I think these cities...

I mean, Stu, this is exactly what I said would happen by 2030.

It just happened because of COVID a lot faster.

A lot of this stuff you've talked about has happened just a lot faster with this.

Yeah, in a different source or a different...

Yeah, maybe a different way.

But I mean, you always talked about it some sort of like launching event for these circumstances to happen.

And I don't, you know, you never said it's going to be this particular virus from this location.

Yeah.

But it is, it is a qualifying

everybody would be working at home and the, you know, these cities would start to rot because nobody was working in giant buildings anymore.

And jobs would change and life would change.

And here we are.

So we have him on

also next hour.

I'm hoping to get Ted Cruz.

No, not Ted Cruz, but the...

Ken Paxton.

Ken Paxton, the Secretary of State of Texas, because they just filed a lawsuit

on the election.

We'll give you more on that.

And next,

Harvard Medical School professor on infectious disease and public health.

And he's going to talk to us about all of the crazy stuff that is going on with the masks.

Are they, can we question the masks?

Also, the vaccine.

Should we take it?

Who should take it?

What does it all mean again?

Next.

So, there is no denying that this has been a very crazy year, and all of this chaos has prompted families just like yours to consider getting a firearm for the first time.

There are now 400 and

like 50,000 fire, 50 million firearms in the country.

It's up almost 100 million in the last 10 years.

Wow.

It's crazy.

If you're one of those families where you're considering firearms to protect your family, please, please get lessons and go to the range and know how to use it.

Also, you might want to consider protecting yourself with body armor.

That might be something that people are doing.

We're using body armor now when we send our reporters out into certain situations.

I watched the news this year.

I know we need body armor.

Jesus, crazy, isn't it?

It's crazy.

AR-500 armor makes buying body armor really easy.

It's approachable and it is affordable.

This is the best time of the year to take advantage of all the special pricing that they have going on right now, all throughout the month of December.

They have specials on nearly every one of their most popular products.

Now is the best time to start preparing.

To ensure you and your family are protected, go to ar500armor.com/slash back.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

I don't know about you, but I'm so sick and tired of being called the bad guy.

I'm sick and tired of hearing how bad Americans are

by our politicians, by now, you know, our public health officials.

There's a new report that has come out from Carnegie Mellon, and it shows that in all of the major cities,

we're masking up.

Remember, the deal was 80%.

If we could just get 80% of the people to wear masks, we'll flatten the curve and it'll be much more powerful than shutting things down.

So we did.

Will our 80%, because if you listen to the media, oh no, people just aren't doing it.

93% of the population in Dallas, 97% in New York, 96 in Los Angeles, 97 in San Francisco, all over the country.

People are doing it in bigger numbers than they even said we needed to.

And yet it's growing.

Why are we the bad guys?

It doesn't seem to be working.

Will anyone recognize this?

Is there any more common sense?

Can you even question

medical science now?

Can you?

I think we better.

It's the scientific method.

It's the only way we move forward.

Do something, then look at the results.

We have Dr.

Martin Kulldorf.

He is a Harvard Medical School professor.

He's an expert in this field.

We're going to try to get some real answers on what is happening with COVID, the vaccine, the masks, all of it in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right, it's that time.

Who are the scientists behind the Great Barrington Declaration?

All three have advocated against lockdown measures since the start of the pandemic.

After the authors of the declaration promoting herd immunity spoke to White House officials last week, the scientific community immediately called into question the Declaration, as well as the scientists who wrote it.

Bum bum bum.

They must be evil.

Well, one of the doctors that actually authored it

is with us now.

His name is Dr.

Martin Kulldorf.

He is from Harvard Medical School.

Professor, doctor, welcome.

Thank you very much.

It's a great question.

So

let me just voice what I think is the frustration of many Americans, and that is, we don't hate grandma.

We're not trying to kill grandma.

We love grandma.

We love our parents.

We are smart enough to figure out that grandma probably shouldn't be around at Christmas or Thanksgiving, you know, or anybody else with,

you know, circumstances that will make them much, much more vulnerable.

But our kids should go to school.

Our kids are being destroyed.

Colleges are out of control with their belief that they're a target, college-age kids.

This is bad for a small percentage of the population, a cherished population, but we should protect them and we'll do the masks, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Can you respond to any of those feelings?

Yeah, So

with the Great Banglades Declaration, we are advocating focused protection.

And a big part of that is that we have to do a better job protecting grandma and grandpa, which we have not done.

It has been a huge failure with this lockdown strategy.

It has not managed to protect the older vulnerable people.

And for old people, COVID-19 is more dangerous than the agony influenza.

So we have to do a better job.

We have to do more testing

of staff at nursing homes so that do not infect the residents.

And Scott Atlas, for example, has worked hard on that in August and September and October when he was at the White House.

And we also have to have less staff rotation at nursing homes.

So we can do and we should do much more to protect the older, vulnerable people.

But for younger people, for children,

COVID-19 is less dangerous than the angling influenza.

There's more than a thousand, while anybody can get infected, there's more than a thousand-fold difference in mortality risk by age.

So there's absolutely no public health reason to keep schools closed or keep the universities closed.

The students should go to the classes for in-person teaching.

And the problem is with all these lockdowns, there are enormous collateral damage.

And that includes collateral damage on public health.

Education is schools are good important not only for education, but also for physical and mental health of children and students and of social development.

We have worse cardiovascular disease outcomes.

We have

less cancers, but that's not because there are fewer cancers if they are not detected and therefore they are not being properly treated.

So somebody who might

have lived another 15, 20 years may not die from, for example, cervical cancer in only three or four years because they didn't get the screening.

And of course the mental health has been deteriorating.

So there's all this collateral damage from the lockdowns.

And one of the principles of public health is you can't just think of one disease.

You have to think of everything combined and all those other diseases, all other

public health diseases.

It feels deteriorating.

It feels as though the cure right now

is worse than the disease.

And

the population is made to feel like it's their fault.

And as these numbers come out and show that we're 95% compliant all over the country,

and they told us that if we were 80% compliant, it would flatten the curve.

It shows us that something is wrong.

And I don't think it's the American people not wearing masks.

The problem is, possibly do the masks even work?

Or why are we seeing this great spike if everybody's masked up?

Yes, so I think the population, the public, has done a heroic effort to try to follow the various public health advice that has been

out there.

The problem is that

the public health advice has not been the best possible.

And we would have had many fewer deaths, much less mortality if we had followed a focused protection strategy as outside in the Great Barrington Declaration.

So for anybody who didn't follow the Great Barrington recommendation,

you and two other scientists got together and you wrote this declaration, then you opened it up for people to sign it.

And of course, now you're suspect, everybody's suspect that anywhere near this, that you're just quacks.

What does it actually say?

So it starts from their premises that the mortality risk is more than one thousandfold difference between the oldest and the youngest.

So this is not a dangerous disease for children or young adults.

It is a dangerous disease for old and frail people.

And therefore, we need to do a better job protecting the old, while the young people, young adults, should be allowed to live their lives normally.

We cannot eliminate the risk one hundred percent, but we can mitigate it and minimize the risk and minimize mortality.

So if I would give people the benefit of the doubt,

I would look at

the gathering

of Event 201 where some of the best minds around the world got together and said, okay, so if there is some sort of pandemic, what do we do?

And the idea was for the first time,

we can close everything.

We can do it globally and close everything.

And they thought that if you give them the the benefit of the doubt, they thought that that would work.

Well, it's clearly not working.

So why

what is what is what what's happening?

Why are we denying things like herd mentality when we know that is is

yeah, or herd immunity, um, when we know that that is the way our bodies work and viruses work?

Yeah, herd immunity is a scientific fact just like gravity.

So we it doesn't make sense to talk about herd immunity strategy because

whatever we do, we will eventually reach her immunity.

So the key thing is to minimize mortality until we get there.

And what we're doing now is we are protecting low risk professionals who can work from home, like

lawyers or journalists like you or scientists like me, who don't need to be protected because risk is very low.

At the same time, we have older people still in the workforce workforce who work as a cab driver or a supermarket cashier or a janitor or in the meat processing industry who are being exposed even though they're high risk.

So that leads to excess mortality and

more deaths than necessary.

And we should protect older people which we're not doing properly.

So in my view, the lockdowns is the worst assault on the working

in half a century since segregation and the Vietnam War.

Is there anything to the locking down of restaurants

with no outdoor

service, et cetera, et cetera?

You just can't even gather outdoors.

Is there anything to that?

Well,

if grandpa is 76 years old, he should not go to a crowded restaurant.

Yeah, but we know that.

I mean, that's the crazy thing.

Every American knows that grandma and grandpa and mom and dad, depending on their age and their health, they should not be out.

We know that.

What about the rest of everybody?

If you're in your 20s or 30s, there's absolutely no risk.

No reason for public health reason not to live a normal life.

You should still wash your hands and if you're sick, stay home.

But other than that,

live a normal life and make sure that society operates.

That's very important for

both health and well-being in general.

Have you looked into the

the vaccines?

And are you confident at all at this point

that it's going to help?

Are we going to be in this situation

for a long time?

Well, I'm a big fan of vaccines.

So if we have a good vaccine, that will help.

That will make it there will be one more

tool to protect older people in two ways, both by vaccinating old people and also to vaccinate

staff at nursing homes and hospital staff like doctors and nurses.

Well, they're talking about having a vaccination passport now for everybody, that everybody will have to have the vaccine.

Do you agree with mandatory vaccines?

No, I think that public health must be based on trust between the public and public health officials.

So I think putting it

making a vaccine mandating a vaccine will

lower that trust.

And I think it actually will just backfire and have less people wanting to get the vaccines.

I think you're

not a smart public health policy to mandate vaccinations.

I think that is exactly why this has become

what it is now.

People are skeptical because they're being told exactly what to do, and you have no choice.

And if you just ask people

and say, hey, here are the facts, do this,

we have always done it.

We always.

We're smart enough to figure things out.

Doctor, one last question.

Are you concerned at all about your

position at Harvard?

I mean,

there's been a lot of people that are being fired for these things.

One of them was a doctor that was just fired in or just had his license revoked in Oregon for speaking out against masks.

How do you feel about this?

And are you concerned at all about your positions?

I'm very concerned about science in general because

science require a scientific discourse, open scientific discourse, and

to ignore or silence scientists

so that you don't have that is a bad thing for science.

I'm very concerned about the scientific community.

And when even if people are not fired, if there are sort of criticism, like there has been of many scientists speaking up,

that makes other people afraid to speak up.

So it creates a fear in the scientific community.

And I think that's extremely detrimental.

both to science in general, but also, of course, to public health.

Are you

average scientist?

You're just willing to speak out?

Or do you think you guys are fairly alone on your concern about the way science is being used right now?

There are many people who are that concern, and there's also many people who are concerned about the lockdown.

So among the infectious disease technologists that I talk to personally, that I know personally, the majority is in favor of focus protection and against against lockdowns.

I think in the scientific community in general, most people who's outside of infectious disease technology, most people who speak out speak in favor of lockdowns.

But among infectious disease technologists, the majority are against lockdowns and in favor of focus protection among those that I speak to personally.

Dr.

Martin Kulldorf, thank you for speaking out.

Thank you for having the courage to speak out.

And we will keep you in our prayers.

Thank you very much.

Thank you so much.

Great pleasure talking to you.

Likewise.

I mean, think of that.

Think how brave that is.

I mean, is anybody else getting just like, you know, flashbacks of things we've learned in history that

should never be repeated?

Seems like scientists and doctors should be able to say the things that they believe.

Jeez.

I mean, that does seem important.

Somewhere deep in the heart of the automotive manufacturing plant in a room with all the shades pulled down, a little man with a big cigar has just pulled out his car's warranty and looked at the date.

He smiles, chewing on that cigar.

There's no computer in this room, just a button, big red button.

It says post-warranty car trouble.

And with a little evil laugh, the man with a cigar in the basement of the big auto manufacturing company laughs

as he pushes it.

I am

here in my studio.

Stu, would you be willing to get that for me?

Here in my studio, I brought this in a couple of days ago.

I need somebody to restore it, somebody who really knows what they're doing.

It's an old radio,

and it's from Germany.

In the late 1930s, the Nazis had taken power, and

they began to tell everyone you needed to replace your radio.

And this was one of them.

And if you could be close up,

you weren't listening to us, you would see the little Nazi symbol with the eagle and the swastika on each side of the dial.

This radio was a radio that the Germans put out that would not allow anyone to pick up any other radio station other than the approved radio stations.

So they could censor.

to make sure that you never got any kind of outside information or anything different than what the government was telling you.

As I'm listening to this doctor, I'm looking over at this radio sitting here waiting to be fixed.

And I think to myself, what is the difference?

I mean, they didn't start with the radios.

First, they just scared everybody into silence.

They told everybody to sit down and shut up.

And they did, because it can't get worse than this.

Then they made it illegal to have a radio that could pick up anything other than the approved frequencies.

Well, what is high-tech doing to us now?

It's called Temp and Toss.

I don't know about you, but the old-fashioned way of taking

a baby's temperature,

you know, I feel temperature taking should be free of buttage myself.

But the butt apparently is also not really accurate with babies.

These days, with coronavirus looking around, everyone getting their temperatures taken a lot more

frequently, accurate temperatures really matter.

Let me tell you about Tempin Toss, the revolutionary new accurate way to keep tabs on temperatures.

And it's really, it was designed for kids because it's so easy.

It's a paper thermometer.

It can be stuck on the forehead, give you hours of accurate temperature readings without the need of...

buttage.

You know what I'm saying?

The paper thermometers come also on a roll and you can buy them, you know, just at

your regular retailer.

You can buy them in normal packs, or you can get them up to 5,000 for corporations like Ford, which is now using Tempentos.

Hey, why don't you come on in a little closer, folks?

I want wanna tell you a little story about AOC.

Oh, you better love Marx.

You better shun Trump.

America sucks, she's telling you chumps.

AOC is shutting

you down.

Oh, yes, she is.

She has a blacklist.

She's jacking it thrice.

Gonna throw down when Kamala is vice.

AOC is shutting

you down

She sees you when you're tweeting

She knows when you're not woke

She knows if you've been pimping trump And for that she'd like you choked Oh,

you better recant

If not then you're toast She's got you a spot down at Guantanamo.

You better believe it.

AOC is shutting

you down.

Oh yeah.

With greenest new deals, plus taxes, galore,

lopping off heads and packing the court.

AOC is shutting

you down.

The nantifar will rally,

burn down the GOP.

They're gonna build you, Toby.

Uh, once they cancel you and me,

so you better mask up, you better lock down.

Turn that mega smile into a calmie frown.

AOC is shutting.

Oh,

AOC is shutting.

Listen,

AOC is shutting you down.

Yes, he is.

By the way, I just have to say, one guy I absolutely love

is the CEO of Goya.

Remember, he was the guy who spoke out for Donald Trump,

and then AOC called for a boycott of all of his products, and

it didn't go so well.

So the CEO decided to

name AOC AOC the employee of the month because sales went up so dramatically.

He just wanted to do something to thank her

for that.

And I love that.

I mean, she actually was productive for the first time.

She was for the very first time.

She helped the free market, which I think is fantastic.

She's also doing that with her $58 sweatshirts.

Her Eat the Rich sweatshirts.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And people are like, hey, you realize you're selling sweatshirts for $58.

She said, well, this just happens to be the cost of if you do everything with living wage.

And

really, you're right.

That's right.

Exactly right.

All of our sweatshirts will cost $58 to $65 if you get in control of things.

You're right.

That's a commercial against you.

That's what it is.

No, because she can make them all free.

Oh.

You'll get a sweatshirt once you get your loan absolved.

So it'll be great.

All right.

Monday, just before midnight, the state of Texas filed a lawsuit that they are saying now is more important than all of the others surrounding the presidential election.

Texas brought a suit against four states that they say did something that they can't do.

They violated the Constitution in their conduct of the presidential election.

The violation occurred whether or regardless of the amount of election fraud that they may have had, or even if it turns the election.

The four defendant states are Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Texas filed the suit directly in the Supreme Court.

Article III of the Constitution says that there is a category of cases which the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction.

And one of those categories is controversies between two or more states.

Well, that's exactly what this is.

Now, the Supreme Court has said in the past they may not take all of these cases.

It'll take them at their discretion.

But this is one the Supreme Court should hear and should be on record.

No matter how they decide, they should be on record.

Now,

here's what the Texas suit claims.

And it's, I think, compelling.

It's something that bothered me before the election, and we talked about it before the election.

The four offending

states violated the the U.S.

Constitution in two different ways.

First, all four of them violated the Electors Clause of Article II of the Constitution when executive or judicial officials in the states changed the rules of the election without going through the legislature.

This is what we were talking about.

All these states just had either a judge

or the governor just say, oh, we're changing, here's what we're doing.

That's against the constitution of the states and against the u.s constitution you can't do that it has to be through the legislature well the judge it was ruled on by the local judges and the local judges said nope it's fine well is it

The electors clause requires that each state shall appoint its presidential electors in such a manner as the legislature thereof may direct.

Now, the reason why this is in there in the early years of our country, the legislators appointed their presidential electors directly without holding a popular election for the president.

That changed, obviously, but the constitutional principle remained the same.

It doesn't matter whether the state appoints its electors by a vote in the

legislature or by the vote of a people.

It is still the state legislature and only the state legislature that sets the rules for the election.

That way, you can't have what just happened, somebody getting into power, changing all the rules, and now all of the election is screwed up.

So when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended by three days the deadline for receiving mail-in ballots, We said this at the time.

You can't do that.

It was not a law passed by the state legislature.

In fact, it went against that law.

The state court changed the rules in violation of the Electors Clause of the U.S.

Constitution.

Similarly, when Georgia's Secretary of State responded to a lawsuit by entering into a compromise settlement with the Democrats,

They modified the signature verification requirements spelled out by Georgia law.

That was changing the rules.

In fact, the Republicans weren't even involved in that.

This one guy, a Republican, met with all the Democrats, they said, this is what they want, this is what we want, and he said, okay, and gave it to them.

Well, where is the due process on that one?

Also, election officials in Wayne County, Michigan ignored the requirements of Michigan law and denied poll watchers access to vote counting while other counties in Michigan followed the law.

This violates the Equal Protection Clause.

Now, this one is really important, and I don't know how the Supreme Court wouldn't take this on and rule exactly the same way.

In Wisconsin, it happened.

The administrator of the City of Milwaukee's Election Commission ignored the requirements of Wisconsin law and directed election workers to write in the addresses of witnesses on the envelopes containing mail-in ballots while the ballots without witness addresses were deemed invalid everywhere else.

That means those ballots were unequal.

They had unequal treatment

to other places in the state.

Now,

what they're doing, and these may not change the outcome of the election at all, but everyone should be very focused on this.

Because did you hear Maduro won again last night in a free and fair election?

And all of his allies won as well.

Once you corrupt the system, it's over.

We have to have confidence in our system.

So now this is a pure question of law.

It's not dependent on disputed facts.

Although the changes, the unconstitutional changes to the election rules could have facilitated voter fraud, There's no proof and there's not even an accusation.

They don't need a single case of fraud to win.

It's enough that four states violated the Constitution.

So the lawsuit asked the court

to remand the appointment of electors in the four states back to the state legislatures.

Supreme Court in 1892 said the case in McPherson and Blacker, whatever provisions may be made by statute or by the state Constitution to choose electors by the people, there is no doubt of the right of the legislature to resume the power at any time.

Now, the reason why this is so important

is because

the Supreme Court knows

that 20 years ago, this very case was made about Florida.

You can't count the ballots differently in one county than you did in the rest of Florida.

Remember, Al Gore just wanted to cherry-pick the counties where he was doing well and have a recount.

And the Republicans said, you can't do that.

You'll recount the entire state the same way.

Went to the Supreme Court.

They said that that is

a violation of the Equal Protection Clause.

So why wouldn't they say that this time?

Texas followed the constitutional rules.

Other states followed the constitutional rules.

If other states are allowed to violate those same rules,

it's not just a question of constitutional law.

It's a, oh, they're going to hate this.

It's a basic matter of fairness.

If you have a home and you haven't refinanced yet,

what are you waiting for?

Mortgage rates have been lower than ever this year.

It's going to get harder and harder to get a loan, I believe.

It means you could drop your interest rate if you get a loan today at a low interest rate.

You could drop your interest rate,

your monthly payment for your home.

If you roll in your insurance, I'm sorry, your credit cards.

I am so scattered today.

I'm so sorry.

You roll in your credit cards, high interest debt, you're going to save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars every single month.

2021,

I hate saying this, is going to be worse than 2020.

It's going to be more insane.

It's vitally important right now that you have your financial house in order.

Tomorrow night on Glenn TV.

You've heard of the Green New Deal, but there's a digital new deal being made to decide what you think, say, and share with your friends.

Those of us in journalism have to come to terms with the fact that free speech, a principle that we hold sacred, is being weaponized against the principles in journalism.

Glenn reveals the terrifying new levels of censorship happening right now.

Watch how digital dictators plan to kill free speech.

Tomorrow night, 9 p.m.

Eastern, PlaysTV.com/slash Glenn.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

There is a very dangerous misconception about free speech lurking on the left,

including among the big tech elite, which is the idea that true speech deserves protection as free speech.

True speech, that gets the protection.

Free speech?

They are now the truth detectors.

And in essence,

if you want every tweet, every Facebook post, every YouTube video up there set to their lie detector machine, if their algorithms detect anything that doesn't align with their left-wing dogma, then it's false, it's labeled, it's censored.

I love these.

We'll do stories on something, but it will say, we'll get censored, and it will say, because there wasn't context, wasn't full context.

What do you mean it wasn't full context?

No, I don't tell you the story of America and the slave trade every time I want to talk about Martin Luther King,

we just assume you're up to speed on some of those things.

But they're saying now that, well, you have to provide context.

Excuse me.

And this is done by their International Fact-Checking Network.

Tomorrow night, I'm going to expose this fact-checking network.

It's just a label that provides the left with a facade of legitimacy while they silence dissent.

One of of the

groups that is IFCN certified is called Lead Stories.

The Lead Stories, the founder, the co-founder, and its staff used to work at CNN.

Okay.

Nothing to see there, right?

But Fact Check assures you that this is independent, non-partiside, non-partisan, certified fact-checking entry.

It's very, very official.

But Lead Stories is funded by Facebook and Google.

Oh, and another Byte Dance.

Who's ByteDance?

Well, ByteDance is the Chinese company that owns TikTok.

Again, nothing to see here.

China is great.

Now, you remember the reports late last year about how China's communist government instructs TikTok to censor videos critical of the Chinese government.

But other than that, there's nothing weird about a Chinese company that censors political content funding an American fact-checking company that also censors political content.

We're only scratching the surface.

But voices are being shut down by digital dictators, and they plan to kill free speech.

Plus, Candace Owens will join me to talk about the lawsuit she has with Mark Zuckerberg.

She's fighting back, and it seems to be working.

That's tomorrow night, 9 p.m.

So Danny Presti and his partner were a little upset that their bar had to close in New York City.

Well, Bill de Blasio said this.

But let's be clear, the most important thing is what this guy did, and it was absolutely unacceptable.

I'm sure this is a guy who would say he's all in favor of law and order.

And, you know, he's making a big deal about what's happened with his bar.

Well, guess what?

Law and order means when the state of New York says your bar needs to be closed, your bar needs to be closed to protect people's health and safety.

No excuses.

And when you violate the law, there will be consequences.

And then if you take an action against a law enforcement officer there will be even more consequences really all of so this guy is a hypocrite and he's about to pay the price for his hypocrisy wow it's good to hear that bill de Blasio uh will stand up for the police officers that are injured by somebody who is fighting against them or not speaking of hypocrites we have we have uh Presley's dad or dad attorney on with us I'm sorry I'm so scattered today uh we have his attorney on with us uh coming up in uh just a few minutes.

Also, James Altichure will comment on this, Bitcoin, and the state of New York in 60 seconds.

I try every day, but turns out I just can't do it.

Just can't do it.

Yeah, but can I improve on this performance?

I don't think so, Stu.

Just don't think so.

Yeah, me neither.

I have no faith in you.

James Altachure is an entrepreneur.

Pretty good at that.

Angel investor.

Pretty good at that.

A chess master.

Yeah, he's kind of iffy.

And

a great writer.

Hello, James.

How are you?

Glenn, so good to be here.

I'm doing really good.

How are you doing?

That's great.

It's always good to have you on.

How are you doing with the demise of New York?

I know you are a lifelong New Yorker who reluctantly said, I think it's over.

Then Jerry Seinfeld, for some reason, attacks you for it.

And it looks like you're right.

Yeah, you you know, you know, and the thing is, Jerry and I are technically on the same side of this, which is that no one wants New York to die.

I presented some facts that I was seeing that were undeniable, and everybody wanted to shoot the messenger.

But then I called people ranging from mayoral candidates to congressmen to even the Federal Reserve looking for solutions.

Everybody seems to be in denial.

I wrote that article three months ago.

New York City is in worse shape now.

And there's articles.

You just quoted de Blasio.

I think he needs a course on law and order.

You can't close down businesses without due process.

90% of restaurants in New York City are going to go out of business.

Cuomo is going to ban indoor dining next week in New York City.

Businesses are collapsing.

Employees are going unemployed.

City workers.

are getting fired.

Trash collectors, EMT workers, teachers, police, healthcare.

How are you going to do it?

James?

How are you?

I mean, I love New York City.

I think it's one of the greatest.

It doesn't like me, but I think it's one of the greatest cities in the world.

And I don't see it ever coming back to the way it used to be.

I can't even figure out how it doesn't become escape from New York soon.

You know, Glenn, I agree.

And again, I talked to a lot of smart people about it who should be on tap with solutions.

It's very difficult.

Money is leaving New York.

And people say, good reddance, the rich are leaving, but it's not the rich are leaving.

It's 80,000 small restaurants.

It's mom-and-pop landowners.

It's the people who are 10 months behind on their rent, who are never going to pay.

You know, there's two billion, one in four New Yorkers have not paid rent since March.

They're not going to suddenly pay on January 1st.

They're just going to leave.

Half a million people have already left New York.

It's the largest flight out of New York City ever.

So when people say, you can't say this time is different, this time is very, very different.

The economy's been shut down.

People have left.

You know,

I saw that number about how many people left.

They say it is bigger than the exodus right after 9-11.

But 9-11, you still had things going for you.

You just needed courage.

And you also had Rudy Giuliani, who was good for business.

He was doing the opposite.

Stay here, stay here, continue to build.

Where now it's just the complete opposite.

Shut it down, shut it down, stop doing everything.

I mean, I was in the World Trade Center on 9-11.

I lived three blocks away.

It was rough, and you know, but the entire world rallied behind New York City, helped New York City rebuild.

There was love for New York.

New Yorkers loved New York, wanted to rebuild.

The same thing is not happening now.

There is, you know, there is so much, there is so much kind of fighting.

The violence is up 150% year over year.

Murders are up.

And again, it's not just like a few businesses downtown are closed for a little while.

It's probably going to be about 100,000 businesses closed in New York.

Just the other day, there was news, 70 financial firms, including Golden Sachs Asset Management Business, have moved from New York to Palm Beach, Florida.

So there's an exodus.

And how do you pay for New York's probably in my back of the envelope math, New York is probably about $100 billion in the hole.

How are you going to pay for that with no taxes collected?

Because everybody who pays taxes is leaving.

And the people that are the worst off, the people like this bar owner that's just trying to keep their restaurant and their bar open,

they can't move to West Palm.

They're not moving.

They're stuck there.

I know, and that's the sad thing.

It's in the Constitution.

People need due process before property is taken away.

This guy's business, this livelihood, was taken away.

And it's not just him.

It's every restaurant owner.

All around,

I'm standing in New York City right now.

All around me, restaurants that have been staples for decades are out of business.

The people who work there, out of business, moved out.

The employees moved back to wherever they're from.

This is not just something that affects, quote-unquote, the rich, nor is this.

A lot of people are saying, oh, well, this will go back to the 70s, which was this artistic utopia where the rents were low.

No, I was there in the 70s.

It was disgusting.

And it's not, it's actually even going to be worse than the 70s because at least in the 70s, businesses were open.

Let me switch gears slightly.

You're right about the Constitution, and you're also right about there has to be compensation.

If the government takes away something of yours or destroys it, they have to have fair compensation for that.

I've been saying from the very beginning when they said we're going to close down businesses for more than two weeks, I've said this is a huge lawsuit just waiting to happen on behalf of all of the people who have lost business because they weren't allowed to open it up.

But that brings me to,

well, we'll just print more money.

I mean, the value of the dollar is.

You know, did you know that the Federal Reserve has printed more money?

In fact, they printed three quarters of all of the money they have printed in 107 years.

They've printed three quarters of that amount recently.

Yes, and you know, I even, look, I even called people at the Federal Reserve to talk about New York City just for my own benefit, so I could see that someone's thinking of solutions.

All of their thinking is, hey, You know, the demand for the dollar is strong, which gives us an opportunity to print, but it means that our children are going to be paying back money to the children of the wealthy chinese people who are lending us the money and now the federal reserve is lending it there we're not even borrowing it from the chin nobody will buy our our uh our debt anymore it's now 100 financed by the uh uh federal reserve i mean did you know more since march money supply more than more than 11 trillion dollars has been added to the money supply that's That's not a trivial amount.

And now they're talking about, oh, let's just give $50,000 to everybody who took on student loans.

What are they talking about?

You're only benefiting the top one-third of society when you do that, so it's not a progressive action at all.

And what about these guys like this Staten Island bar owner who's worked for 40 years building up his bar, helping his community, serving his city, and now being told that he's not updating law and order when he just wants to feed his family.

It's sad and it's disgusting.

So let me ask you, because there's not been any talk on this, or very little talk on this, especially compared to last time.

Bitcoin is almost, I mean, it has broken its all-time high, I believe, or it was within a couple of hundred dollars of breaking the all-time high, but that only lasted a few days.

Bitcoin is now up around $18,000 to $20,000 and has been for

a few weeks, maybe a couple of weeks now.

And there's no hype on it.

What's happening with that?

Is that a reaction to people with money saying, I'm getting out of the dollar and I'm putting it into something that might be stable?

Yeah, I think it's several things.

I think one is, even since March, everybody

breathed a huge sigh of relief that Bitcoin existed.

Because what other currency would you trust?

The dollar is the most trusted currency in the world.

And like I just said, they're printing

maybe another $10 trillion for all we know.

Like the Bitcoin, the supply cannot change.

You can't print Bitcoin.

The supply is permanently fixed at 21 million Bitcoins.

And it's not reliant on the financial system.

Every dollar transaction goes through banks and central banks and Federal Reserve banks.

It's all tied to a system that could collapse.

Bitcoin is outside the system, which is why companies like MicroStrategy is putting all of its cash reserves into Bitcoin.

That didn't happen in 2018, the last time Bitcoin reached a high.

The last time Bitcoin reached a high, it was speculators, people wanting to day trade Bitcoin.

Now it's people who are parking hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in Bitcoin for safety because they don't trust the dollar.

And you can't find any more Bitcoin.

So if supply is fixed, but demand is going up, then what does that mean?

Price goes up.

There's $150 trillion

of fiat currency around the world, but only $300 billion worth of Bitcoin.

So if you think there's a reasonable chance that some percentage of currency will switch over to Bitcoin, which seems kind of obvious now, then Bitcoin is a very safe place to put money.

Not go crazy with it, but

put some money there for safety.

So, James,

what does it look like?

Because

I think it was Goldman Sachs, it may have been Citibank, that came out and said they're expecting a 30% drop in the value of the U.S.

dollar in the next year to 18 months.

If they're printing $11 trillion, it's going to be more than that.

What does that mean?

Can you help explain to the average person?

What that means to them?

I don't mean people with lots of money.

I mean people who are living on the edge.

The average person.

I mean,

look at what happened in January and February of this year.

Before the lockdowns, China locked down.

And guess what happened?

We suddenly realized that all manufacturing, 100% of manufacturing, happened within 200 miles of the Wuhan province.

Surprise.

We didn't know that.

Like people were saying, well, didn't we do something in India or Vietnam?

No, it was all everything from the drugs that you take to the dresses and clothes you wear to

your iPhone to all electronics, it was all coming from China, and all the factories shut down.

So, suddenly, we couldn't even get toilet paper, we couldn't get anything.

And so, what's going to happen is when all your goods are made overseas, but we're paying in dollars where the value of the dollar is going down, everything's going to get more expensive.

So, a thousand-dollar iPhone might be two thousand dollars,

a A drug that costs $100 might cost $300.

All of these prices start to go up.

But there's a little bit of a battle happening short term, which is that right now the Federal Reserve wants inflation.

They're fighting deflation because everyone's been sitting at home not buying anything, not traveling, not doing anything.

Businesses are going out of business.

There's a danger also the dollar could go,

the dollar could deflate in the short term, term, but then inflate in the long term.

So basically, everybody goes broke, and then everything gets more expensive.

So that's the scary part.

And so the Federal Reserve actually wants to print more money because they want to inflate as fast as possible.

The benefit to them of inflating is that they borrow now, they weaken the dollar, so we're paying money back in weaker dollars.

It's easier to pay back the debt.

That's no good, though, for people at home.

You can't get dividends.

All your products are going to be more expensive.

So the people at home are in trouble.

The government gets away with it, and the new generation has to pay back the children of all the people in the rest of the world.

James Altur, if you could hold on just a second, I want to talk to you about entrepreneurship in America because it's being stomped to death right now and what entrepreneurs should be looking at and forward to.

James Altrichur, he's got the James Altrature Show, which has Tony Robbins and Peter Thiel and Coolio.

So, you know, we have 5% of New York office space being used right now.

Is that a true number?

5%?

Yeah, and it's going to be less next week if more lockdowns go in place.

But I mean, that's just it, is that right now everybody's going remote, bandwidth.

say, oh, you know, just like the financial crisis, Miracle bounce back.

No, it's different because in 2008, 2009, bandwidth was one-tenth the speed of bandwidth now.

Now you can actually work remote and be more productive.

And that's what companies are realizing.

And they could be they could save on costs.

They could just stop leasing office space.

So I tell you, James, I've talked about this.

Stu was pointing this out this morning.

I talked about this

because of a digital revolution that was coming.

I've been talking about it for five or six years and describing what it would look like

if the transition was sudden and describing New York City.

We knew it was going to happen.

What it's also taken out, though, is

the entrepreneurial

spirit in some ways.

It's just being crushed.

How do you talk?

What do you say that entrepreneurs should be looking at in the future?

Where does it go from here?

Well, you know, it's an important question because there's 128 million workers in the U.S., but 55 million of them filed for unemployment insurance at some point in the past eight months.

That's a sad statistic.

It shows there's no loyalty in corporations.

So entrepreneurship has to be on the mind of many people, particularly young people.

Start looking towards who benefits from everybody working remote or everybody moving from the first-tier cities to the second-tier cities.

So obviously, online learning is going to benefit.

Social media management for companies, helping companies pivot from offline to online,

working on online newsletters, online courses,

anything relating to remote, relating to

media being created remotely, all of these things are going to boom.

app development,

again,

helping companies with with their social media management.

This is a great time for young people who have been using social media since birth to now step up their skills, start off the way I did, creating an online agency and building a business to the many people of the older generation who need the help moving remote.

This is a perfect time to be young and be an entrepreneur.

James, it is always good to talk to you.

Thank you so much for dropping by today.

James Altrua.

Thank you, Glenn.

You bet.

Entrepreneur and podcast host and writer of several really great books.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Yeah, well, when they're handing out Father of the Year awards this holiday season,

it's probably going to be because I uh teach my boy the manly art of grilling, you know what I mean?

I get out there with the meat and the spatula in the boy, and I use the spatula to point at the grill as I teach him.

I'm like, you see, son, this grill part here with all the little metal thingy lines on it, that's where you put the food, then you turn it on, then you go inside, and uh, you just check the app once in a while on your phone, because it'll tell you when the food is done.

Yep, that's what it takes to be a man nowadays, boy.

Father, the year is coming because of RekTech.

You can take RekTech, and you're really not doing any of the work.

This year, enjoy the art of grilling year-round with a RekTech.

It's sturdy, it's sleek, it's smart grill technology, and no weather is going to keep you from grilling.

So I don't know if you've been following Max Public House in Grand City, Staten Island,

But two guys own this bar and they have been shut down.

They've tried to do everything they can.

They're going to lose their bar if they have to shut down again.

So

they decided that they weren't going to shut down.

We're not closing it.

Well, then the liquor license was revoked.

And so they said, you know what?

We're declaring ourselves an autonomous free zone.

We worked in Seattle.

Why not here?

And we're not going to charge for alcohol or food.

Well, it was against the law to serve alcohol if you don't have a license, blah, blah, blah.

So I think it was last night or the night before last,

the cops were waiting for the owners, and Danny Presti walks out.

He's one of the owners.

He walks out.

Cops are there.

He runs from the cops, gets into his car.

One of the cops, you know, like Beretta, jumps on the hood of his car

and goes for a couple of blocks before they stop him and they do arrest him.

He's out on bail, or he's out of jail without bail, and he's with his an attorney here, and we're going to talk to him in just a second.

First, I want to play what de Blasio said about Danny.

Here it is.

But let's be clear.

The most important thing is what this guy did, and it was absolutely unacceptable.

I'm sure this is a guy who would say he's all in favor of law and order.

And, you know, he's making a big deal about what's happened with his bar.

Well, guess what?

Law and order means when the state of New York says your bar needs to be closed, your bar needs to be closed to protect people's health and safety.

No excuses.

And when you violate the law, there will be consequences.

And then if you take an action against a law enforcement officer, there will be even more consequences.

So this guy is a hypocrite, and he's about to pay the price for his hypocrisy.

Boy, talk about a hypocrite.

Bill de Blasio, now standing up for the cops and against an autonomous free zone, which is weird.

And let's take him at his word.

Let's remember what this is all all about.

Somebody's business, which involves a hamburger and beer.

Let's go now to Danny Priesty, or is it Presti,

the co-owner of Max Public House, and Louis

Jelormino.

Hello, Louie.

How are you?

I'm good.

Thanks for having us, Glenn.

Always love your show.

Thank you.

The first thing I want to address is that they were not cops.

They were not NYPD police officers.

They were sheriff deputies.

And it's in New York City,

it's probably different than down where you guys are throughout the country.

In New York City, sheriff's deputies play a different role than NYPD.

They're civil enforcement officers.

My partner and I have been criminal defense attorneys for over 40 years.

We have never dealt with the Sheriff's Department in a criminal matter.

So we want to make it perfectly clear, the NYPD, northern New York State Troopers, wanted anything to do with this.

That's why they sent

de Blasio's personal political hit force to handle this.

Wow, I tell you, in Texas, sheriffs are the good guys, not the bad guys.

So

tell me what is happening, because I think there's a lot of people that feel, Danny, exactly like you did, where you guys are trying to keep your business open and you keep being told no, no, no, and you don't have a choice other than to go to the poorhouse am i right

yeah it's uh that's why this this whole thing started in the beginning was because we were left without any options and it was to bring attention to what's going on to the businesses and how dire it is and in the beginning we just tried to bring attention to say, hey, let's try to bring as much noise as we can to try to get the mayor and the governor and you know, not just here, but in across the country to understand that small businesses need assistance.

All these big, big chain places are still thriving, and you're killing the small mom and pop places.

And we either need assistance if we have to shut down, or you have to help us open in a safe manner.

But just the shutdowns and ignoring us and pushing us to the side and killing our livelihoods just wasn't acceptable to us.

This is what's happening in California as well.

And people are starting to go rogue because they've got nothing left.

You have nothing left, and nobody is offering any help.

Did you expect this to get to this point?

Did you expect to be seeing the inside of a jail?

I didn't know what to expect when we did it.

Again, we just knew that something had to happen.

So, when Keith and I sat down, we decided to do something about it.

Did I think that

getting arrested two times in one week was going to happen at some point?

No.

So, Lou,

what's the plan from here?

How are you going to fight this?

And

what do you think it means?

Well, obviously, on a legal level, we have two issues.

We have the criminal case where we're representing Danny, but we also have the civil cases where the sheriffs gave over $50,000 in fines to Max Public House.

I can assure you we'll take care of Danny's criminal cases.

But as far as the civil cases go, that we're going to have to battle those.

This is certainly something that was unexpected.

But I want to assure your viewers,

what happened in California is interesting.

They had a judge rule that they have to show their signs before they shut businesses down.

Now,

we started with lawsuits, Glenn.

We brought, my partners and I brought four different lawsuits to open the restaurants.

And we've been shut down by judges in New York City on each time because obviously they're appointed by de Blasio and Cuomo.

We would love to have a ruling like happened that happened in California.

Unfortunately, it seems like going the legal route hasn't been working either.

We will continue to do that in the appeal process.

But sadly, the small business owners on Staten Island through the rest of the country can't open and still can't open.

And they still can't put food on their table.

So it's it's a sad situation and I applaud Danny and his partner Keith for leading the charge and staying open.

Unfortunately, it's ended up in this ridiculous, these ridiculous criminal charges.

So I know you guys are doing a GoFundMe.

It's

max fights for small businesses.

You are trying to raise 500,000.

You're currently at about 100 grand.

And you say that anything that you're not using,

you're going to apply that to fight for other small businesses.

Is there some sort of an association or is there any group of small businesses that are starting to band together and say, we've got to fight this as one because we're all too small?

Well, we started the small business on Staten Island started a business association a while ago.

That's who we brought the lawsuits on behalf of.

We will continue to bring those lawsuits on their behalf.

And I believe there are a lot of people throughout the country starting to

form these coalitions so they can have a strong voice into these ridiculous orders by the governors and mayors of these liberal cities.

You know, Glenn, it's sad.

The virus doesn't know the difference between a red state and a blue state, but it seems that the blue states can't stay open.

Their small businesses are shut down.

Yet the red states are

able to stay open and keep their businesses open.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

And it's sad that even the COVID virus has become a political animal.

So I have to ask you this, because

I'm strong with law enforcement that stands with the Constitution.

And usually that is the sheriffs, et cetera, et cetera.

And I preach against the people like

all the people that de Blasio has supported and all people like him that go out in the streets and they commit all kinds of crimes.

Black Lives Matter has been responsible now for 6,000 injuries with police.

So

I just have to ask about the sheriff that was on the roof or on the hood of your car.

He did break his collarbone or he broke one bone.

Not true?

Absolutely not true.

We have 100% confirmation.

That was the sheriff's department trying to change the narrative so the support would leave daddy.

Where I have 100% confirmation that that same sheriff's deputy that they claim was injured was in the sheriff's office for over four hours

processing the arrest.

He did not go to the hospital until after five hours after the incident,

claiming some injuries.

He did not break his legs.

He did not break his collarbone.

He broke absolutely nothing.

We have 100% confirmation on that.

Unbelievable.

All right.

Thank you, guys.

Best of luck to you.

Yeah, go ahead, Lou.

If I may say something, and I speak on behalf of Danny on this and all the people involved with Maxis Public House and my partners, we completely stand with law enforcement, the NYPD, the state troopers.

I have many friends and family.

My two best friends that I'm around every single day are NYBD detectives.

We love those guys.

They've been nothing great and supportive from the beginning.

The sheriff's deputies play a lot different role in New York City than they do

in Texas and the rest of the country.

And

even through all this, we still wouldn't want to be disrespectful for them, even though they've acted like thugs for the mayor de Blasio.

We still haven't been disrespectful to them.

We've been cooperative

and respectful the whole entire time.

Danny had no idea.

If you look at the video, Danny had no idea.

They were sheriff deputies.

They were dressed in complete black outfits.

They came up from behind them and yelled, Presty, and started chasing them from 50 yards away.

And any reasonable person would act in the way that Danny reacted.

Thank you so much.

We'll keep track of your

fight and your plight.

We wish you the best.

If you would like to donate and help out, this is becoming more and more of a problem.

And

we, as small businesses, and I say that as an owner of a small business, a couple of small businesses, we have to stand together and help each other out.

You can go to GoFundMe, it's Max Fights for Small Businesses.

You'll find that at GoFundMe.

Thank you very much, guys.

There's new research from the threat intelligence firms that show that cyber criminal groups are increasingly using ransomware, changing their techniques and their procedures to widen the scope of their cyber attacks, and of course, expanding the pool of people that fall victim to this kind of thing all the time.

Cyber criminals, they unfortunately don't take,

I don't think they take much time off.

They are working working hard to make sure that they stay on top of their game, and their game is you.

Those of us in journalism have to come to terms with the fact that free speech, a principle that we hold sacred, is being weaponized against the principles in journalism.

Glenn reveals the terrifying new levels of censorship happening right now.

California

has just stopped all childcare,

all tutoring,

and all classes.

Wow.

That doesn't hurt the people at all, does it?

No, I mean, not at all.

There's not extensive research showing that when you take away, for example, kids' educations, that it really hurts.

There's the famous chapter in, I believe it's Tipping Points, Malcolm Gladwell, where he talks about how the main difference between rich kids and poor kids, and when it comes to education over long periods of time, is that generally speaking,

rich kids' parents during the summer engage with them often and challenge them to do not just, you know, sitting around watching TV, right?

Where poor kids' children are more likely, again, this is generalities, but more likely to think that it's the school's job for them to learn.

When they're home, they can do what they want to do, right?

Like, and not engage them mentally over summer break.

So during the school year, the kids perform pretty much identically, but during the summer break,

the rich kids get a little bit ahead and the poor kids get a little bit behind.

And that happens every year throughout their entire school list.

And that's the difference between the two groups.

That is,

you start doing this.

This is much more extreme.

And you go to just Zoom learning and I mean, well, these kids are falling way behind.

Just think of this.

What happens to those kids that are in childcare?

Both parents work.

They can't take care of their kids.

There's no childcare now.

What happens to those families?

What happens to their monthly rent?

How is somebody going to stay at home?

And this is one of those issues, too, that where the science was relatively clear at the beginning, including from the scientists, by the way, that said you should keep schools open.

But, you know, when a new pandemic is coming down,

you can kind of understand be like, we can't risk the kids at the very beginning.

Over time, it became clear.

A thousand times less likely.

Yeah, I mean, it's not even close.

I mean, the kids are really not in danger from this.

So it became clear that that was not a good thing to do.

The science change, most places have recognized that.

Places with very powerful teachers' unions continued to fight it, though.

And they said, well, we don't want our teachers in there.

And they brought up all these other arguments.

So places like New York City set ridiculous standards for keeping schools open.

Even that has started to turn over, where de Blasio recently had to change those standards to reopen the schools, particularly for young kids, because of what a terrible decision it was initially to pull them out anyway.

It's killing our kids.

Killing our kids.

So take that and separate kids from real education, then

from friends,

and then you're putting them on maybe Zoom learning for part-time while their parents are trying to get...

I mean, it's impossible.

It is a really problematic thing.

Leaving them at home alone, some of these kids, this is going to be an absolute disaster.

The cure is worse than the disease by far.
