Was COVID-19 Research an INTELLIGENCE Operation?!

For years, Glenn has been exposing the things that didn’t add up about COVID-19: If it DIDN’T come from a lab, why is there so much evidence pointing to a coverup? Why was Dr. Fauci so insistent that anyone who mentioned gain-of-function research — including Senator Rand Paul — was a liar? Well, BlazeTV host and “Free The People” president Matt Kibbe did a deep dive into the latest evidence that FAUCI was the liar, and what he found was shocking. He lays out the truth in his new docuseries, “The Coverup,” available NOW for BlazeTV subscribers. And he joins Glenn to review some of the most shocking revelations, including why he believes we’ve been looking in the wrong places: Those who facilitated the coverup didn’t work for the NIH or CDC. They worked for the DHS, FBI, and Intelligence Community…

GLENN: What we knew, by piecing things together, without -- without really anyone releasing documents. Listen.

And this is why it's a cover-up. We know that US taxpayer dollars were going to Wuhan China through EcoHealth. So here we have a virology expert that claimed the consensus among their peers was that COVID was not natural. Part of his research was done via funding from the US government to Peter Daszak, an EcoHealth Alliance, directly to Dr. Xi in China.

He responds with, quote, I spent New Year's Eve, talking with our China contacts.

I've got a lot more information.

But it's all off the record. All find the genome inconsistent with expectations from an evolutionary theory. That means, this was lab made. Two days prior, he said, COVID looked like it was manipulated in a lab.

These are the conversations people like Fauci were having in private. Meanwhile, in public. They were denying everything and diverting attention. The dangerous sentences that were redacted. And that, quote, there was a suspicion, that this mutation was intentionally inserted.

Wait. What?

GLENN: If scientists and idealists spoke out about any of this, they were silenced immediately.
We were demonetized for a very long time, because this network would not play the game. There was too many things wrong. In 2021, I did a special. Just connecting the dots. There is one man, and I think he deserves an awful lot of credit. Rand Paul.

Who was like a dog with a bone. Being a doctor, and a senator, he didn't have to play those games.

And he knew Fauci was lying. Now, with Matt Kibbe, something -- some people are going to pay. Matt Kibbe is a Blaze TV host of Kibbe on Liberty. He's also the president of Free the People, who we have partnered with to air tonight's documentary.

All about the cover-up, as it comes crumbling down.

My friend Matt Kibbe, how are you?

MATT: I feel like we've been working up to this moment for years now.

GLENN: We have. And nobody thinks anybody is going to pay. But I actually believe, because of what you're going to start showing tonight, and with Rand Paul, there's no -- it's going to happen.

MATT: You know, you were right to -- your special in 2021, was one of the -- the triggers that my wife would tell you, that you've made her life insufferable.

Because I'm just obsessed about this stuff.

GLENN: I know, right!

MATT: And I've been obsessed for four-plus years. And I started off just having sort of a Libertarian instinct that these authoritarian measures just didn't make sense. And they were going to create so much collateral damage.

But when you start going down the rabbit hole, you peel away the layers of the onion. And it's something so much bigger than me.

As a cynical Libertarian and always expects government to screw up, but now. Now I'm seeing this big thing.

And I don't have a chalkboard. But I have one of those -- those crazy equivalent things where you used yarn to draw one line to another.

GLENN: Right. Right.

MATT: And that was really the -- a lot of inspirations for the series. A lot of conversations I've had both on camera and off with Rand Paul, who also was a dog with a bone. That just wouldn't let Fauci get away with it. I mean, he's a doctor.

So he instinctually could understand the claims, just didn't make sense.

Me as an economist, I'm way outside of my lane now.

We all had to be epidemiologists, right?

GLENN: Well, the one thing we had in common. You and I, at least. Because you're an economist.

I'm just an alcoholic DJ that just found himself here. But the one thing we had in common was, it doesn't make sense.

And when it doesn't make sense, you can either sit in your little hole, and dream up, you know, conspiracies. Or you can start digging and looking for the facts. And, Matt, I had -- at the time, you know this because you watched it.

At the time, I had just enough of their conversations, and enough of, wait a minute. This guy went into the meeting. These two. Went into the meeting.

And they changed their mind. And they were hard-core. Why did they change their mind?

Wait a minute. This email redacted. Looks as though Fauci and Daszak are -- are colluding to change the narrative. And they know what's going on.

Now you have the goods. Tell me what you have found. And what is now available.

MATT: So, I mean, and it's been some pretty banner couple of weeks on this stuff.

GLENN: Yeah.

MATT: Because a lot of Fauci's deputies are starting to talk.

GLENN: I think they know there is trouble coming.

MATT: Right. They know that trouble is coming.

So now we have a former NIH director. Announce, in testimony. That, of course, we were doing gain-of-function research.

GLENN: Jeez.

MATT: So pretty much a smoking gun. Where Fauci is constantly calling Senator Paul.

GLENN: A liar.

MATT: The oversight. The responsibility. The constitutional responsibility.

You have mid-level bureaucrat calling him a liar. I'm like, okay. There's something there. So you just start to unweave these things. And the scary thing about it. This series is trying to be open-minded about how far we're going to go.

But this is a story much bigger than simply rogue bureaucrats chasing money and power.

It's much bigger than even sort of arrogant scientists saying, I can redesign these viruses, and not cause anything else.

GLENN: Yeah. More powerful than God or nature.

MATT: You're just peeling it back. And this is what Jay bat charry told me in the first episode. This wasn't a health response. It certainly wasn't a scientific response. It probably is a national security response. And why are they even involved?

GLENN: Wait. What do you mean by that?

It's a national security response.

MATT: I mean that the actors, and we still don't know who they are all are.

Don't work at NIH. They don't work at the CDC. They work in the alphabet agencies, starting with Homeland Security.

GLENN: So -- fill me in on that. Because I didn't see that coming. I thought we were going to go to the Pentagon. Tell me about Homeland Security.

MATT: Well, the FBI, they use words that don't explicitly say CIA. It's funny.

GLENN: Really? The CIA wouldn't be clear on something?

MATT: You slipped up and -- earlier and said, 2001, instead of 2021, which was a Freudian slip. Because I think this story goes back to the response to anthrax. And the response to the War on Terror. And a bipartisan obsession with bio terrorism.

Both Cheney and the Bush White House.

Joe Biden. A guy you may have heard of before.

GLENN: Yeah. And he, occasionally has heard that word before.

I know that name for some reason.

MATT: I don't know if you would recognize that. But we are discovering, I believe, and uncovering a mad scientist experiment, driven by the security agencies, to come up with these grandiose, mad science experiment, where we're going to imagine what our enemies might do to us. We are going to harvest those viruses. We're going to manipulate them.

And then we're going to come up with the solution to everything.

GLENN: Okay. So wait.

People don't understand. Congress has to do something. No!

The Constitution is meant to slow people down because something happens, we've got to act now.

No!

But can you give anyone, at that time, if that's when you believe that starts, the benefit of the doubt, that they honestly thought they were maybe could go the right thing.

MATT: Oh, I think we should still assume, that arrogance, and misguided people. With too much power.

And too much belief, that they're smart enough tolerance such wild and crazy things.

Were explicitly trying to come up a response to some bio security threat.

Remember, anthrax was a scare.

And we must know who did it, or why they did it. And we probably still don't know who or why.

But they were saying, we need a response.
What if our worst enemies come up with a deadly virus and destroy us?

GLENN: Yes.

MATT: You have to ask how we ended up in China, building dangerous viruses. But I think, and I think Jay Bhattacharya who I talked to in this first episode, he believes that it was a well-meaning, but catastrophically dangerous and stupid policy.

GLENN: And I think if Fauci would have come out right away, and said, we were involved.

We were doing this. That's probably at least a chance of that.

But we were well-meaning. He would have paid a big price for it, because it was against the law. But people would have kind of understood. But the minute he started being Draconian, and making us pay for his life. He was doomed. Doomed.

MATT: Yeah. Yeah. So I think there are two pieces to that. He's obviously being a consummate apparatchik. He's a bureaucrat. He's a climber. He's politically savvy on TV. He knows how to lie well.

But I also think, there was this philosophical ideological bent that all of these central planners had.

GLENN: Yes.

MATT: They actually believed that they could rationally redesign civil society from the top-down.

Giving scientists and other experts all the power.

GLENN: Civil society 2.0.

MATT: Yeah.

GLENN: That's the whole Colour Revolution thing.

They can redesign!

It's the Fabian socialists.

MATT: It goes all the way back. I mean, the entire progressive movement was this arrogance. It goes back before that. The guy that founded socialism. A French aristocrat. He actually had this vision. Where he would replace civil society with a council of scientists. And they would rearrange the dominoes.

And we were just molecules, I guess, in these scenarios.

GLENN: Right. More in just a minute.

This episode. By the way, it's a pilot episode tonight. Sorry, it's not tonight. It's right now. Sorry, used to TV.

Right now, you can stream it. Blaze TV. It's available for all subs at BlazeTV.com.

It is -- I mean, this is the goods.

This is the goods.

This is the pilot of a series. But they've got the goods.

And, you know, I don't want to get into Rand Paul, who will never let this go, is he?

MATT: He said that to me yesterday.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Why Your Actions Matter More Than Words in the Eyes of God

Glenn Beck and Eric Metaxas expose the spiritual crisis gripping America’s churches — a moment they compare to Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s warning before World War II. As the culture descends into moral confusion, too many Christians retreat into silence, claiming faith while refusing to act. Together, they argue that true belief demands courage — that “faith without works is dead” — and warn that neutrality in the face of evil is itself a form of complicity.

The American Dream is in CRISIS - How Freedom Was Replaced by Comfort

The American Dream used to mean freedom and the chance to build your own life through hard work, faith, and independence. But today, it’s been replaced by comfort, consumption, and debt. Glenn Beck breaks down how America traded liberty for lifestyle, why socialism is gaining ground, and what it will take to reclaim the real American Dream before it disappears for good.

GLENN: I don't know if you saw the visualizing the American dream, Stu.

You know, what the American dream actually is, is that you can forge your own way.

You can -- you know, you can have a scrap of land, and grow your own food if up.

You can, you know, go to school. Not go to school.

You can find a job. If you're qualified for it, you have an equal chance of getting it, you know, based on merit.

But the percentage of Americans who say the American dream is retirement is 86 percent. Health care, 86 percent. Owning a home, 85. Raising two kids, 78. Owning a car, 72. Vacations, 71. Pets, 66. A wedding, 55 percent. That's the American dream, I can get married.

The American dream, if that's what you think, they've now estimated, the cost per household over the cost -- over the lifetime, retirement is $1.6 million. Owning a home now, 30-year mortgage, 20 percent you want to, is $957,594. Owning a car, buying and finance to begin with new cars every ten years is now $900,000 over your lifetime. Raising two kids to 18, plus four years of public college, $876,092. Two kids. Health care, over your lifetime, spending from ages 22 to 85, $414,000. Vacations, annual vacation from '22 to '85, $180,000. One dog and one cat for 11 to 13 years is $40,000!

That's more expensive than a wedding. The engagement ring, the ceremony, and the reception is now estimated to be $38,200.

There's a reason socialism is doing well. You look at that, and you're like, wow. I mean, if that's the American dream. And for a lot of people, that is the American dream!

That's not what the American dream is supposed to be, but, you know, once -- you know, once Woodrow Wilson and FDR got a hold of us and they started advertising, it became stuff instead of freedom. It became stuff. And, you know, when there's a new report out. Let me see if I have that.

There's a new report out now that shows, first time home buyers made up just 21 percent of the home purchases. That's the lowest on record.

The typical age of repeat buyers hit an all-time high of '62. The median downtowns, reaching 23 percent.

The highest since 2023.

And also, where is it?

The last one is -- the median age for first time home buyers, in 1981, it was 29 years old.

I'm sorry. Yeah. Twenty-nine years old. In 2021, it was 33 years old.

What is it this year?

Median age, first time homeowner, forty.

You're 40 before you can buy any kind of home. That puts these things that people want, dream about, out of reach, until you're 40?

You know, 29 is one thing. But if you're not seeing -- you're not seeing your life really kind of settling down until you're 40, I -- I can understand why you're like, you know what, this system doesn't work.

Because you've never seen it work. It's betrayed you.

Or so you've been sold. It's betrayed you.

And everything is being pushed out of your reach. And when you're young, the one thing you're not is patient.

And at 40, I can see why people are not, you know, yeah. Well, socialism is neat because capitalism isn't working. How would you respond to that?

STU: I mean, it's more lengthy than we have time for. But I would say that the response to, you know, you thinking that you want a home is not to embrace an ideology that murders 100 million people.

That's not -- that's not a good answer to the problem that you think you have.

GLENN: But they're not learning that anywhere.

They're not -- that is our responsibility! To teach those things. Because they're not learning it anywhere.

Glenn Beck Warns of 3 Economic Outcomes That Could Change EVERYTHING | Ep 467

Socialism is spreading fast among America’s youth, and the shocking election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani for mayor in New York City marks a major cultural and economic shift. Glenn exposes how runaway debt, record home prices, AI job disruption, and the collapsing stake in capitalism have led many Millennials and members of Gen Z to embrace socialism and communism. He reveals the three possible economic futures for 2026: two that are disastrous and one that could change everything if the Trump administration’s global financial overhaul succeeds. Plus, Justin Haskins, president of the Heartland Institute, joins to reveal some terrifying truths about why young Americans are embracing socialism from a poll he conducted with Rasmussen Reports.

Glenn Beck warns: We're already in World War III

"The world doesn't understand yet. We're already in World War III," Glenn Beck warns. "That foe is not China. That foe is militant Islam." Glenn explains the battle we're currently facing and what's to come if we don't wake up soon...

GLENN: From New Jersey, it's Brian. Hello, Brian.

CALLER: Hello!

GLENN: Hey.

CALLER: Yeah. Thanks for taking the calls today.

GLENN: Sure.

CALLER: Yeah. I'm worried that we are headed towards another French Revolution-style because we have entire generations. Or actually people just not being heard by their representatives.

GLENN: Hmm.

CALLER: And it's not just here. It's around the world.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

I -- actually, I had scheduled for this time, I'll just do it some other time. Talking about what's happening in -- in England.

I think England is headed for a Civil War. And -- and it's very close.

I mean, you can't put 4,000 people. 4,000 people, in jail, or try them for hate crimes. And speech crimes.

You can't -- you can't do it. In England!

You can't do that in one year. And expect people to just put up with it!

You can't -- you know, we're -- we're -- America doesn't understand yet.

The world doesn't understand.

We're in World War III. We're already in World War III.

I don't know when it becomes a hot war. Or even a war that we on our side recognize. But we are in World War III. And that -- that foe is not China.

That foe is militant Islam, period. And, you know, when we have a situation to where people are -- when the government is just like, no. It's not a problem.

It's not a problem. You know. You've got illegals all over.

It's not a problem.

It's not a problem.

It is a problem. Don't tell me what -- what the problems are not!

Because we're the ones living it!

You're the experts, who keep telling us, no. It's going to work out fine.

And it doesn't work out fine. And it just gets worse and worse.

Oh. We can spend this money. No. It looks like we can't spend this money. Oh, we can afford this. No. It looks like we can't afford this.

You know, if we do this with Ukraine, it will work out fine. No, it didn't, did it? These endless wars, all of this stuff, don't tell me what the problem is. Listen to the people and start talking to the people. Honestly, this is the reason why I'm doing this today. I -- I need to hear from you.

I need to know what's on your mind, so I stay focused and -- and clear on what America is saying.

Because I don't think -- look, you know, me taking phone calls is -- is not a true representation of anything, but it does give me a sense of -- of where you are, as an audience. Maybe not as America, but as an audience. And there are lots of things that concern me. But I want to hear it from you.
But I think you're right! We're headed for real, real trouble. All you need is real economic trouble.

You start getting real, true economic trouble. 1930s kind of depression stuff. And we're in Civil War.

Dan, Oregon. Welcome!

CALLER: Hello, Glenn. How are you?

GLENN: I'm great!

CALLER: Yeah. Good. It's been a long time.

I guess it's been over ten years, since I've had a chance to talk with you. I was one of your first insiders. I was listening to you, since you were in Florida.

GLENN: Wow. Wow.

CALLER: So it's been a long -- yeah. It has been. And I can't say I've enjoyed all of it.
(laughter)

GLENN: Neither have I!

STU: I can't say that either, I'll be honest with you.

CALLER: You know, you were talking on yesterday's show, reminiscing with Stu about how you guys started. And I remember those old shows. And, you know, at the end of the -- the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Right.

CALLER: And there was a lot more entertainment. I remember I laughed a lot.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. I know. I know. Those days are long dead.
(laughter)

STU: There's nothing to laugh about now.

CALLER: Yeah. I -- I'm 78. I still work 40 hours a week. I love my job.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: Been married for 55 years. I have seven kids.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: I've got a daughter -- I've got a daughter who is in her 40s. And she has severe TDS. She -- we don't -- I mean, we're not cutting each other off. She hasn't done that at all. We're still very close as a family. But she was down visiting the other day, and got into a conversation with my wife. And I wasn't in the room. But Kathy said it was just like listening to one of those young people out on the street that was being interviewed by the news media. And she was -- and she was in tears about it. My wife and my daughter both.

And, I mean, I love her, and I continue to support her. She's a single woman, not by choice. She just never found the right guy.

GLENN: Yeah.

CALLER: And I really think that's part of the problem. Because she started reading -- back when Trump was first running, she started reading all of this stuff about him being misogynistic and all of this stuff.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

CALLER: And it's just gotten worse. I -- I'm at a loss. I really am. Because I -- like, I see the country doing better. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. But I still feel like that at least right now, we're doing better as a whole. But what do we do about -- what do we do about our kids about -- she went to Portland State University for the last two --

GLENN: Oh, jeez, for the love of --

CALLER: Well, yeah. For the last two years, she went to -- she went to a little college in Idaho called Ricks for the first two years, and Utah State.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

CALLER: And then she served a mission for our church in Brazil and came home, but then she went to Portland State University. And it just seems to have gone downhill from there.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. So, Dan, I think you are suffering from the same thing that almost all parents are suffering from. If you're not suffering from this, then, I mean, God bless you. You know, get on your knees and thank God. Because you are a lucky, lucky family. Everybody has in their family. I have it in my family.

And you have to ask yourself, what is your goal?

My -- what is your goal with your daughter? Your real goal?

CALLER: My real goal is for us to be united eternally. That's my goal. That's my goal as a father and has been to teach her --

GLENN: And how -- and how is that going to happen with politics?

CALLER: We just stay together as a family regardless of what politics does.

GLENN: That's exactly right. Exactly right.

I think we're in a place now where as parents, you can ask your kids, but it has to be honest. It cannot be trying to win. It has to be honest. How did you get there?

I mean, I remember. You know, we've talked about this before. And you didn't believe that before. What has changed?

Can you help me with that?

I would like to see what you're reading, or what that was.

And just ask questions. But they have to be honest. They can't be, you know, because I'm setting you up. Because I want to change your mind.

But keep a dialogue open with them. And just love them!

Just love them!

Because if you do anything else, you're going to drive them away. And then they're really lost. So just love them.

CALLER: Oh, I know that. Glenn, when she was young -- when she was young, I considered her one of the elect. And the Scripture says, that in the last days, even the elect are going to be deceived. And that's what I'm seeing. But everything you've said, I -- I am doing. I'm doing it that way. Because I know --

GLENN: Okay. Good. Then you didn't need to -- I appreciate it. I'm so glad you called me. But you didn't need to -- my advice, you already have it down. You're a very wise man.
