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.

MATT: He said that to me yesterday.

Shocking train video: Passengers wait while woman bleeds out

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?


STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
