3 signs that elites want to CLAMP DOWN on YOUR freedom

We could soon live in a world where elites control where and how often we travel, Glenn warns. Glenn reviews a study that found that 41% of French citizens support limiting people to 4 flights in their entire lifetime. The nation has already outlawed certain domestic flights over 2.5 hours long and global elites are pushing similar policies worldwide. Glenn reviews "2030 targets" for air travel that are already being discussed around the world, including in 14 American cities, and that, if passed, could affect a twelfth of the world's population: "Basically, it will annihilate the air travel industry" ... except for the rich. However, the media's "fact checkers" have tried to suppress this information. So, Glenn gives his advice on how to get news that you can trust.

GLENN: There's something that I think that you need to -- you need to know.

There was on TikTok.

Yeah. I know. I know.

You're going to -- what? The Chinese government, TikTok is doing something nefarious?

Yes. And it's not just them.

We're about to see a big, big change, in social media. And it revolves around the news.

And I'll explain more of that tomorrow.

But there was a -- there was a -- an account that was held by Evita Duffy-Alfonso.

And she's a staff writer at the Federalist. And cofounder of the Chicago thinker.

And she was talking about what these climate psychos are doing.

And they're -- they're going to restrict our movement.

And this is -- this, I think is just a convenient effect of everything this administration has done. From not searching for our own oil, to putting all kinds of restraints people. To, you know, just making sure that the airlines are in their pocket. And the shortage of workers now that we have. I don't know if you've flown recently. But it's an even less fun experience that it used to be. And it is also undependable now. You don't know if you will get trapped someplace. At least that's the way I and my family feel, that you fly some place, and you get to the plane. And you're like, okay. It's delayed. But there's -- in my family, there's been I think three planes that they were waiting for. And it took them two days to get home. Because it was delayed, delayed, delayed. Canceled.

And that's not a dependable thing. And I think that works to the advantage of the climate huggers. Because here's what they really want. Now, she made a video, and she said, these facts.

And they were taken off, because they're misleading or harmful to humans. Okay? I don't -- what? Huh. So here's the thing.

In France, it is incredible what they're doing in France. New study conducted by the research firm, consumer science and analytics institute, found that 41 percent of citizens in France, support banning people from flying more than four times in their lifetimes because of climate change.

You would only take four flights your entire lifetime! Even more disturbing, 59 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds support the radical limit on air travel. So what did they do?

In France, they have already outlawed domestic flights less than two and a half hours long. So you know, two and a half hours long, that's about a 20, 21-hour drive. Okay.

It's not here to the burbs. It's not even to New York to Rochester, because that's about a 45-minute flight. That's New York to Cincinnati. Maybe even further than that. That's a long flight. You won't be able to fly. In France, they're already doing it, within two and a half hours from the airport.

So what does that mean? Well, when they're banning gas. When they're forcing you into a car, that only goes 400 miles, that's not -- 400 miles is not enough to take you two and a half hours. So how are you driving there in one day?

The key is, you're not driving there. The G40 cities, which we have talked about, the G40 city climate leadership group. This is a globalist climate organization, and we got red flags for talking about this.

Because they say, this is not true. But listen to the way this is worded.

Because it is absolutely true.

I can tell you, that the global climate organization, is 100 cities across the world. Fourteen American cities.

It has a 2030 target, important. Target. Of limiting air travel to one short hall return flight, less than 1500 kilometers. Every three years, per person.

14 American cities. Now, when I say, this is their goal, this is what they're trying to do, we were flagged by, I don't remember which social media group. As telling untruths. Because they said, no. It says target. And I said, that's a goal. No. That's a target.

Nowhere do they say this is a goal. This is just a number that they're throwing out there, and they're not saying that it has to be done. I said, that's -- that's the same with a goal.

Anyway, so they're suppressing this for some -- some reason or another. If the C40 cities get their way. People will not be able to take their one short hall flight every three years, since C40 cities make up about 112th of the global population. One flight per person, every three years, would cut the air industry's emission by way more than 43 percent.

Basically, it will annihilate the air travel industry. So if you lose -- you know what will be left? Concord's for really rich people. Private planes for really rich people. That's -- that's all that will be left. The really rich people will travel. You will not.

This is -- this is what they banned her for. It is so important, that you learn how to find the truth, and find it on your own.

There is coming a time -- I mean, Pat, what do you think the honest odds are, that we go -- I mean, there's a chance. Miracles happen. And it doesn't have to be this way.

But Israel is escalating the airstrikes against Gaza. Iran is behind it. Iran has a nuclear weapon. Iran has the crazy religious people who say, we're going to destroy Israel, to hasten the return of the promised one. Which is end times talk. But then you have Russia on their side. China just sent six ships into the area.

We've got two carrier groups now in the area. What are the odds we're not in World War III, a year from now?

PAT: That we're not? Hmm. I would like to think it's at least 50/50.

GLENN: Okay. 50/50. Do you remember -- maybe you didn't learn this. I'm sure you did. In the 1930s -- or, 1940s when we went to war, every newsroom had a monitor. They couldn't edit you after you were out. They couldn't suppress it after you were out. So you had to have a military. For any national program. You had a military monitor. Okay?

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And they told you, pretty much, what you can and cannot say. No. No. No. You're not saying that. That's in World War II.

With the internet and with everything, not just being national. But international. Do you really think that monitors won't be in everybody's newsroom? And, actually, if you say no, I don't think so. You're probably right. They won't be monitors.

PAT: They don't need to be in every room.

GLENN: They will just shut you down. They will just throttle you, so you won't have anybody listening. Or watching.

PAT: And they can already, and do already.

GLENN: Already do that. And it will happen overnight.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And it will happen when it's -- there's a real crisis, and you get up. And you want to know about it. And you want to look for your favorite whoever, to explain this. And they're not going to be there. So it's vital, that you learn to hear over the noise. And actually be able to decipher, what is true.

And there's a couple of easy things that you can do. And we'll tell you about that, coming up in just a minute.

So the first thing you need to do, if you're learning -- if you want to be your own editor, you want to be able to find the truth. This is one of the most frequently asked questions to me.

Who do you trust? How do you find out who to trust? You know, where do I go to get the real news? I will tell you, that I know, because I work here, and I'm the Founder of it. Blaze tries really, really hard, to get it right. Daily wire tries really, really hard to get it right. The caller, Daily Caller, tries to get it right. There's a -- there's a few websites, just the news, I trust.

However, you shouldn't trust anyone. You have to look for the sources. And, for instance, Just the News, gives you all of the sources because they're mainly, they're generating the stories themselves, entirely.

And so they're reporting on what they have learned. And so the sources are there. But you can't trust anybody.

What you have to do is first, narrow it down. By saying, have you ever read one of those stories?

Let me give you this. Have you ever read one of those stories where you're not sure, what the hell you're talking about?

You can't follow the story, because a gunman walked in, and then they did this?

And then they got into the car. And you're like, wait. Is -- is there more than one person?

Is it a he, she?

No. It's just somebody that identifies as they? Is that right? You've probably read those stories before. That, you should write that down so you know to journal. Can't trust this news source.

If they can't get some eternal truths right, because of political correctness, you cannot trust them.

So if they're -- they're using they/them or, you know, pronouns that are -- if they say, what was the Maxim.

Australia Maxim.

Did you see this?

Australia Maxim came out with their Hot 100, and a number two or number five is a guy.

PAT: Yeah. The hot 100 women.

GLENN: Hot 100 women. And it was a guy. And she ain't hot.

PAT: No. Looks like a guy. A square-jawed guy.

GLENN: And so it's like, look, I don't get my news from Maxim. But they're not trustworthy on anything. If they cannot get that right, you can't believe anything that they say. If they're willing to publish that big of a lie, then you don't know when they're lying.

The more subtle stuff will come very, very easily to them. So that's the first thing that you have to do.

And I suggest you start doing that now. Start making a list of organizations that you trust. Those organizations are going to have a tough time surviving here in the coming times. Especially if we go to war.

You need to know who they are. And you need to know how to follow them directly.

I told you earlier this -- this episode, that we were talking to -- or no. I'm sorry. I was reading the story yesterday. That came from Facebook.

Campbell Brown was running their news division.

And they're getting rid of their news television.

Now, I'm not sure exactly yet, all that it means.

And I think they wouldn't tell us all that it means.

But what -- how it's being reported it is that media, the social media companies, they're so tired of getting in trouble from the government. On, you know, what to print.

What not to print.

And all these news things. That they're just -- they're going to get out of the business.

Well, what business is that?

Is that you, curating the news yourself?

Or is it -- does that also include places like the Blaze, who is a news publisher?

Are we not allowed to publish -- is that in the future, that we won't be allowed to publish on Facebook?

My guess is yes. Because the minute this is implemented. ABC, CBS. All of these discredited mainstream media places, you're not going to see their stuff.

Because if Facebook isn't selecting those stories, from those companies, do you know anybody that goes to ABC.News.go to get their news?

Because I don't. I don't.

And you need to know, who they are. Because when this starts to backlash. Because the Facebook is not pushing you to ABC or CNN or NBC.

They're going to feel the pinch. And we've already felt it. When you're banished to outer darkness by Facebook or whoever.

You feel it. And it affects your bottom line.

I just more is coming on this.

So know how to get a hold of your people. Because right now, is probably the best it's going to be for a while.

When you say, I want to follow that person. If they're conservative, and news, you're going to probably have more and more harder times getting those stories actually into your feed.

And it's important that you get the stuff that you trust, from the people you trust. And stay one with the news.

The TERRIFYING Reason Why the Northern Lights Were Visible So Far South

Many people across America were excited to see the northern lights in states where they’re almost never visible. But Glenn points out the terrifying reason WHY the light show happened. “We really dodged a bullet,” Glenn says. The massive solar flare that caused the aurora borealis to be visible in even southern states could have caused “a blackout situation.” Glenn breaks down what it would mean if all our tech was to go down, or even just our GPS systems, and also asks why the government hasn’t taken the steps to protect our infrastructure from something like this.

GLENN: Well, I know this is probably not on anybody's charts. But seeing the aurora borealis. Is a very big story that nobody has been talking about. Everybody is like, look at the sky. It's so pretty. Sure. But why is it pretty? Why is that happening? This is the first time in 20 years that we have seen the aurora borealis as low and as South as possible -- or, as it was. But we had an event and I talked about it in our meetings, Stu, last, I think Monday. A week ago Monday. And everybody looked at me like I was crazy. I said, there's a huge CME that just happened. There's a huge solar flare that just happened.

Luckily, it was on the side of the sun.

But it was coming our direction.

But not directly.

It was the biggest solar flare since the Carrington Event in what, 1860, or whatever.

STU: Yeah. 1860, sure.

The Carrington Event you're talking about? That's, yeah, 1860.

PAT: How many times have we talked about the Carrington Event? We're all over the Carrington Event.

STU: Well, Pat just started a new podcast called Pat and the Carrington Event.

GLENN: Pat, wait a minute. I'm trying to look, to see through my eyes. But are you wearing a I'm a fan of the Carrington Event?

PAT: Yeah. I am. I do. I have it available in different colors.

GLENN: Available at Patisajerk.com.

So the Carrington Event happened in the 1860s. And we were hit by a massive solar flare. And at the time, the only -- we didn't really have electricity or anything. But we had telegraphs.

Telegraph wire all over the country, burned up. I mean, literally started on fire. From the telegraph, all the way through all of the poles, it just burned out.

And that is, you know, a significant problem with today's electricity and all of our wires.

That -- that could have been a -- a blackout situation.

An EMP. We dodged a bullet. It could have shut down power companies. And power lines all over the country.

All over Europe as well. For at least a year.

The problem we have is: All of our power transformers, it takes them, I think it's a year to build and replace giant transformers. And we don't have extras.

Nobody is thinking about this stuff.

PAT: And we haven't protected our infrastructure.

GLENN: No.

And it would be very expensive

Bret Weinstein wrote a great article on this, last week. About, you know, he was kind of making fun of how everybody was saying, oh, look at the beautiful sky that will happen next week.

And he was like, it would take so little to protect our infrastructure. And nothing is protected.

We really dodged a bullet.

PAT: Well, this is a few years ago. But they were talking about not just a solar EMP. But an EMP from, you know, a foreigner. A foreign adversary.

And how we could protect our infrastructure from it, for it seems like it was only a billion.

GLENN: I think it's under 5 billion now.

PAT: Yeah. It's dirt cheap in comparison to what we would lose if it actually happened. And they won't do it.

GLENN: You know, that's one of those low probability, high -- what do they call those things?

STU: High impact.

GLENN: Yeah. High impact.

This impact, if we were hit by an EMP. And it takes three nuclear weapons. Launched into space.

Iran could probably do it. You know, when they get their missiles.

PAT: North Korea, yeah.

GLENN: North Korea. All you have to do is put two barges. One on the east coast and the west coast.

You fire two on one. One goes over the middle of America. One goes over the west coast. Then you have another on the east coast.

It takes three missiles, detonated at the right altitude, above America. You would shut us down. And in the first year, 95 percent of our population would die.

PAT: Yeah. Because we're back to the cave time.

GLENN: Stone Age!

PAT: You don't have refrigeration. You don't have transportation.

GLENN: And you cannot repair it fast enough. Because we didn't protect anything.

This is one of the craziest things.

Congress. You're spending money on so much. A turtle tunnel. Spend $5 billion to protect the infrastructure.

PAT: It doesn't make sense not to.

GLENN: No. It doesn't.

STU: It seems like one of the basic things that government is designed to do. There's a lot of things they're doing that they're not supposed to do. Wouldn't this be something that falls into the category of must do?

GLENN: Yes. Yes.

PAT: Yes. And how often do they talk about infrastructure and bridges? We have electronics that could be protected, and they're not being protected.

GLENN: To an that this -- this solar event could have knocked out all of Elon Musk's satellites. They were afraid of those. And all of our GPS.

PAT: Jeez.

GLENN: Do you know what would happen if we lost all of our GPS?

PAT: EMS.

GLENN: So the GPS. Our magnetic field is so far awry right now, that it's about a 30 -- a 30-degree switch, and so it's drifted about 30 degrees.

Okay. So it's not up at the poll. At the top and the bottom.

It's 30 degrees off.

And because of that, it's causing all kinds of holes and thinning of our ionosphere.

So, you know, all of this stuff, can come through.

And we have such a problem with it. It's moving so rapidly, we used to have to adjust our GPS I think it was every five years. Now it's every two years. Because our polls are shifting, it's then a year. It's now every six months, we have to reset our GPS satellites. The poles are moving that rapidly.

Why Michael Cohen’s “BOMBSHELL” Melania Trump Testimony Should NOT be Trusted

The mainstream media is gawking over testimony from Stormy Daniels and former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen former president Donald Trump’s hush money trial. But despite the media’s insistence that Cohen dropped “bombshell” revelations about Melania Trump, there’s a good reason we SHOULDN’T believe a word he says. Glenn, Pat, and Stu explain why Cohen should have lost all credibility years ago and why salacious testimony should have no place in this case. Plus, they review the telltale signs that Trump’s trials are more akin to the Soviet Union’s propaganda machine than American “democracy.”

GLENN: It looks like -- I mean, no pun intended, but absolutely intended. Looks like the Stormy Daniels case is a bust, in some ways. I mean, you know, it's a New York -- it's a New York jury.

But I don't know if you saw what Bill Maher said over the weekend. About, you know, how the prosecutors have blown it -- I hate.

They have screwed it. They haven't done their job very well.

And Michael Cohen took the stand yesterday, right?

PAT: Yes, yeah.

STU: And today.

PAT: And CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, seemed to take it, everything he says, as if it was gospel truth.

GLENN: I mean, he was lying before. But now he's telling the truth.

PAT: Right. Now he's honest Abe.

GLENN: I saw that. He was splitting rails on the way to the courthouse.

PAT: Yes.

GLENN: It was weird. And returning a penny.

PAT: Yes. Walked 5 miles to return a penny.
(laughter)

PAT: I mean, it's really amazing. I mean, Stormy Daniels had no credibility. This guy has no credibility. And I think Trump's lawyers have done a decent job showing that. But they're still getting bludgeoned. It's still New York.

And they have all the media on their side.

So I don't know how this will go. But if he gets past this one unscathed. Then I think it's smooth sailing for maybe the next four years. It will be a while.

GLENN: It is absolutely amazing.

You know, they started with, he's got 9,874 billion charges against him. And he's skating past them all.

PAT: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: They're just all falling apart.

STU: They're all at least getting delayed until after the election, which is really the only important thing at this point. He can worry about the other stuff later on. And he probably will have to worry about it later on.

GLENN: If he lost the election, every single one of these things would just go away. Just go away.

STU: Probably true. If he decided, you know what, I'm not going to run. I'm done with this nonsense.

I don't think any of these charges occur.

PAT: Yeah.

STU: It's so obviously about this particular election. And, you know, they waited for so long, for most of this stuff, to be filed. And for them to even go after it because they were waiting for him to announce he was running.

And once they announced he was running, they scampered as quickly as they could to put this together. And it's all shoddy. It's pathetic.

I mean, most of these charges against him, were charges that they had previously themselves, in this case, decided not to pursue. You know, they're tying it to -- to other crimes, that have not even. He's not even been charged with.

And they won't even identify, in the middle of the trial. And Michael Cohen is probably the most ridiculous example of this.

And we've said this at the very beginning with Michael Cohen. This is back when he was still an ally of Donald Trump. There was no reason, to believe anything that comes out of Michael Cohen's mouth. He says whatever he has to at any given moment, to benefit himself.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: You know what is amazing?

At least we're consistent. We didn't believe him, when he was saying good things about Donald Trump.

We don't believe him when he's saying bad things about Donald Trump. He has no credibility.

STU: Yeah. I mean, he's gone on every single side of this. Of course, at the beginning was saying, how wonderful Donald Trump was. And how perfect he was.

And he was the greatest president of all time. And blah, blah, blah, blah. Just stuff that is typical, over the top praise. And I think a lot of people missed this.

But once they had their falling out. He turned into like a resistance guy.

And to -- with the still -- the same absurd persona. Where he was like, you know, this guy, who is an Oompa Loompa. And you're going to run against him as a Democrat?

Like, I'm serious. This guy went completely insane, like beyond Keith Olbermann levels of opposition to Trump. And then when this whole buildup came up to this.

People in the media, rightly noted that that persona of, you know, he's an Oompa Loompa, is not going to work on the stand.

So now he's reworked his persona again. Is now on the stand, with this very calm, measured tone of a man just trying to get to the truth.

GLENN: He was very hurt.

STU: He was very hurt.

And his ego has been bruised. And his family. Blah, blah, blah.

How can anyone believe this? He was just on TikTok like three months ago, as a completely different human being.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: You know what, can we get a cut of those for tomorrow?

Let's make a compilation of how insane he went.

STU: Yeah, for sure.

PAT: We could.

STU: Pause there's plenty of stuff to choose from.

PAT: And CNN is accepting everything as if it came out of the Bible. They're talking about this bomb he dropped in court. That Donald Trump didn't care if Melania was upset about his affair with Stormy Daniels.

Because he wouldn't be on the market for very long.

GLENN: I don't believe that.

PAT: Now you buy that? They certainly do. CNN is all over it. MSNBC is all over it.

GLENN: I've always thought Donald Trump was a guy who was like, hey, baby. And maybe he is, I don't know.

But with Melania, I think he really respects her. I really do.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: I think it bothers him, when people don't show her the respect that she deserves. And I think she's -- she's no dummy. She's absolutely no dummy.

PAT: No. She's not.

STU: No. But, I mean, look, I hope their relationship thrives. It's got nothing to do with this case.

PAT: Me too. No.

STU: It has absolutely nothing to do with what we're supposed to be talking about. Their relationship is between them. Right?

This is -- this is a case about business records. This is a case about business -- it has nothing to do with whether Donald Trump cares about his wife or not. It has nothing to do with that. It might be important to us or them. It has nothing to do with this case.

And they keep pushing it down this road.

GLENN: Because he has such problems with, you know, suburban women, that's why they're doing this.

It has nothing to do with the actual case of money.

The -- the -- I'm if we saying the New York jury is going to find him guilty. No matter what it was. But they're making this so salacious, because they're hurting him with women.

They're trying to make him look into just an absolute pig. So they hurt him even more with women. This is all political.

We are living in the former Soviet Union, in many ways. When it comes to the media and our court system on Donald Trump. That's exactly what's happening.

STU: Do you think, Glenn, there's a snapback effect to this, if he is able to somehow get through these charges, and not be convicted by a New York jury?

GLENN: How do you mean a snap back?

STU: Like we've been talking for a lopping time. At least the media has. If he's convicted of a felony. There's a certain percentage of people, who will not vote for him.

And that shows up in polls.

I don't know that you could take it seriously, honestly.

I don't think people correctly predict their emotions in a moment like that.

But take it for what it's worth.

That's what everyone has been saying.

And, you know, the idea here, obviously, is to hurt Donald Trump with all these charges.

Make him look like a felon. Make him look like this terrible criminal.

STU: If now -- you know, after being told, there's 11 billion charges coming his way. If they can't get one conviction before the election, does this snap back against them and turn into a massive positive, for Donald Trump, electorally?

GLENN: I don't think so.

If they find him not guilty on this, then I think there might be.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: You know, it's interesting to me, more than a snapback, it's interesting to me, you're not hearing. At least I'm not hearing. Maybe they're saying it. But I don't listen to them. So what do I know?

I haven't heard a big movement on how he has conned the courts. He's done all kinds of illegal or unethical maneuvers to get things delayed.
I haven't heard that. I think people just know, this isn't working. This is all a sham. And it's not working for them. And the -- it will just be neutral. It just won't matter.

PAT: We went through some of the numbers yesterday. And it certainly looks like, at least in the swing states, this is -- this is working in his favor. Right now. Like he's gaining sympathy.

GLENN: Can I tell you? I heard this morning, they say he fell asleep during the court.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And he said he didn't. I think he should have said, yes. What? There's nothing happening here. I took a nap.
(laughter)

STU: I mean, it pushes I think against his sleepy Joe criticism.

Which is why supposedly he -- he likes the idea. He's the high energy guy. And everything. Which we all know. And I think is true.

But I would be bored out of my mind.

GLENN: Oh, that's what I mean, though.

He is high energy.

He has been attentive on all of this stuff.

I think he could have used that as, do you know what's going on?

I don't have to worry about it. I was a little tired because I was out, you know, campaigning.

And I was doing this. And doing this. And I had nothing else to do. I could have made origami. But I decided just to take a nap.

PAT: I think that would be a smart move right now. Because Biden is trying to use the falling asleep in court. He's the worst. He's calling him sleepy Don now.

GLENN: That's so clever.

PAT: Isn't it? Isn't it? Yeah. Because Donald has called him sleepy Joe. So he's done it back. Can you believe it? All creative and clever.

Why Glenn Beck Predicts America Has Reached PEAK WOKENESS

Woke progressivism has taken over much of America, from our schools to our corporations, and of course, many aspects of our government. But Glenn is optimistic that the pendulum may be starting to swing back. As Americans wake up to how wokeness has destroyed the country, they are standing up and pushing back. So, have we already reached "peak wokeness?" And can we change course without going too far in the opposite direction? Glenn and Stu give their predictions.

GLENN: our problems are so easy to fix. You could go into any coffee shop in America. And you could grab, you just the five -- people who are paying attention. Out of everybody. There are five people here who could name the president. And the three branches of government. Can you come on over to my table. We would be able to fix this. If you were put this charge, you would be able to fix this. A lot of this stuff is so common sense.

STU: That's interesting. Because I think if applied. If applied, common sense would solve a lot of these problems.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: But think about that in the real world. In this world that we live in. How? Even if you convinced the medical establishment. Which I think is a real goal here. And I think it is, something that is potentially achievable. The medical establishment. Look, what you guys have done over the past 15 years. With all this gender stuff, and all this is bad.

We're seeing it happen in foreign countries. Right? The reversing path.

GLENN: France. Sweden.

STU: Yeah. The UK.

But we're seeing progress in that world.

To get back to some sort of rational view here. But even if you were to accomplish that, there are so many people, with so many goals, that are at odds with that approach. You think the mainstream media will abandon this. Because the medical establishment changes? I doubt it.

Think about all the sites and bloggers and influencers. And all the people, that people actually get their news from. That would continue down this road anyway. And would still -- would still create people, like the person who seems to be in this case today. What we know of them. Those many examples.

GLENN: Those people existed before. They just didn't have positions of power. So the first thing that has to be done. Is you fire a lot of people. I'm sorry. You know, here's -- here's the problem. Common sense. Common sense should always rule with rare exception. You know, there are times, that you are like, okay. I know that makes sense. However, this time, cut the white wire. You know what I mean? You know. No. It should be the green wire. No. No, no, no. Usually red and green. But this time, don't cut the green wire. But the problem is: Everything is so over Ivy Leagued, that the average person goes, well, I don't know. You know what I mean? Because they'll be like...

STU: Right.

GLENN: You're like, what?

STU: Well, we saw this with the Claudine gay situation. Everybody knows, when you steal other people's work, you will get fired as an academic. And yet every institution went to bat for this woman, to explain why what she -- how what she did was not actually bad. And it was actually racism. And you guys don't understand the systemic racism that pushed her to have to do this. And why we should ignore.

GLENN: Right.

STU: And everybody is like, all right. I just don't want to get involved in that.

GLENN: And the thing is. Most people will back away from it. Because they will feel stupid. I don't know. Who am I to argue against Harvard.

STU: Fewer and fewer.

I think that's going away.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

Because we used to have. You know, there's balance in all things.

Balance in all things.

There's somebody to be pushed and pull. If you don't have that. There is no growth.

So what happened is, we had common sense.

And then common sense was looked down upon from an Ivy League. Isn't that cute? Well, I have uncommon knowledge.

And everybody was like, well, he must know something, that I don't know.

No. Really. Really, the only thing that you may know, that he doesn't know, is humility. And the one thing that he may know, that you don't know is arrogance. You know, I know.

Me and my people. We know. You need to be taken care of.

STU: Are you concerned that the balance is not something we're finding right now?

GLENN: No. Because I think it's coming.

STU: Is it coming. And is it closer to what you've talked about for a long time. More of a pendulum effect.

I'm worried, it had seem at times, that we're getting to a place where we're completely ignoring experts. I don't think that's the answer either, right?

GLENN: No. It's not. Until the experts are held by other experts.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Until the medical community can say, you know what, enough is enough.

This COVID thing, it was good here, here, and here. It was really bad here, here, and here.

And we have to stop, you know, just saying that, oh, no.

Now science knows. Because that's happened throughout all of mankind.

And then science learns. And they're like, oh. Well, now we know. As soon as it's cleaned out by its own people, you know. God will clean out his own house first. That's in Isaiah. I will clean out my own house first. And he will. And that's what needs to happen in all of the institutions. In media. It's got to be cleaned up.

Now, it's going to probably take outsiders to do it, or a new generation.

But look, it's already happening. It's already happening.

It's just that there's so much money involved, at the establishment level, and they're just holding on by their fingernails.

And they'll -- I mean, they'll pull all of us down, to stop from drowning themselves.

STU: Are you optimistic about the path here?

Are you optimistic that the pushback that has come from, I think, common sense.

I would argue, that usually equals a lot of conservative-type values.

But like, there has been a pushback in the media. There has been a pushback, when it comes to our institutions.

From more constitutional, common sense type thinking.

Will that result in something that is positive in the end? Are you comfortable with that?

GLENN: We are at the wire. We are coming around the fourth turn. And we're all dead even, as we're coming towards the wire. Who is going to win. And it will be won by a nose. And I think it will happen this year. But what is encouraging is we're seeing things that we haven't seen before. I think we're at peak wokeness.

You know, I had been talking about that pendulum theory that Stu has been saying. I've been saying for a while. 2020 -- what did I say? 2024. 2025. Is where we hit the peak. And then it starts going the opposite way.

I've said that for -- forever. Now, this means, it's going to take just as long, as it did to get here. But we will -- the dog returns to its vomit. We will go back to being a very selfish, me, me, me, you know, forget the collective culture. It will take us 40 years. But we will get right back to where we were. The key is, don't destroy yourself at any of the peaks. Because it's the middle where we really flourish. It's the balance of, no. The individual is really important. But so is the collective. We have to balance that. Right now, we're just not balancing. The individual just doesn't matter anymore. It doesn't matter. But I see this coming back, from really important people.

I think Elon Musk has been a turning point on that. You look at what Bill Ackman said this week, or Mark Cuban. What a difference. What a difference.

STU: Well, the Mark Cuban thing, it was bizarre. We should go through that.

GLENN: No.

STU: I don't even know if he knows what the word mean.

GLENN: He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't.

STU: It's weird.

GLENN: Again. It's the arrogance of people thinking they know. That's what Bill Ackman said. He said, I went to talk to the students.

And you realized, what I thought they were saying, is not what they're saying.

I didn't understand it.

Mark Cuban just hasn't gone through that. But he will. Because it's happening. It is happening.

But keep running flat out. Because it's going to be won by a nose.
