Where’s the TRUTH amid the Ukraine, Russia conflict?

Glenn’s job is to tell you the TRUTH, but when it comes to some details from the Ukraine/Russia conflict, currently he’s struggling to find it. Why? Because everything on social media is filtered, everything from the mainstream media or our White House is partisan, and there’s propaganda coming from BOTH sides. There may be a clear good guy and bad guy, but so many details and decisions still remain ‘in the fog of war,’ Glenn says. ‘My problem with this is [that] everybody is just jumping onto a bandwagon. And if you disagree or question and say, hey, let's not race to World War III…you're of course an enemy.’

GLENN:All right. So Kamala Harris has been doing the morning shows. And she was explaining how tough these sanctions are, on Russia.

Here she is.

VOICE: Is that something that the administration would consider in terms of further sanctions, cutting off the oil and gas, part of the economy?

GLENN: Stop for just a second. Just a second.

Is that something that the administration would -- would consider adding, in the future.

Cutting off the Russian oil supply.

Is that something they would consider?

See, I would think that that's where we would start. You know what I mean?

I would think, that's their major source of income.

Now, I'm not a balance a dancer. And I probably would not look good in a leotard. Probably.

However, if they hit me first, when they -- when they try to shut us down, if they hit me first, with no money from your balance a performances. I'm going to tell you, I'm going to cry. I'm going to weep. It's going to be terrible. Terrible.

Don't hit me, you know, like on the radio thing. Or the broadcasting thing. No, no, no, no.

A lot of my money comes through balance a dancing.

And then, if you say, I can't watch Batman. I can't -- what do you mean?

I'm going to have to wait? You're not going to give me an advanced showing of Batman? Are you out of your mind?

Between that and balance a dancing, how am I going to go on?

That's what Putin is thinking right now. So the question to our vice president is, would you guys consider cutting off his -- his money supply, by ban Russian oil exports?

VOICE: Is that something that the administration would consider in terms of further sanctions. Cutting off the oil and gas, part of the economy, for Russia?

GLENN: Consider. Listen to the answer.

VOICE: Well, as you know, that on this issue, for example, we applaud Germany, in terms of what it has done as it relates to Nord Stream 2. As it relates to what we need to do domestically, as well as what we need to do in terms of this issue generally, we have, as the president said, reevaluated what we're doing in terms of the strategic oil reserve here in the United States, to make sure --

GLENN: Stop. Anybody notice.

I mean, somebody. Please, send up a flare, if she gets close to answering the question. Just send up a flare. We'll come back to you.

STU: In terms of what?

GLENN: In terms of considering cutting the money off.

STU: In terms of oil? In terms of -- in terms of her answer of oil. In terms of that.

GLENN: Yeah. If you see that, just send up a flare.

STU: In terms of her answer? Okay. I mean, want to make sure I understand.

STU: In terms of her response to the question.

GLENN: So then she goes right into, as the president has said, we're addressing this now, with our strategic oil reserves. Now, let's just do a little math here. Okay.

First of all, we're talking about hurting the Russians.

Not America. Okay?

How do we cut their money off, from oil?

He's doing a bang-up job of cutting all our money off. By making oil and gasoline wildly expensive. Okay?

Hey. Don't you wish you could live up north right now, so you could pay for the oil and gas to heat your house?

Oh, my gosh. You and Boston must be having a blast right now.

Oh, by the way, in Boston, you're the one receiving the Russian oil.

All right. So we'll release the strategic oil reserve.

Let's look at those three words, shall we?

Strategic, oil, reserve. What does that imply? Well, it's a place you put oil, right?

STU: Uh-huh.

In terms of oil.

GLENN: You're reserving it, okay?

And you're reserving it for what?

STU: Some sort of strategic purpose.

GLENN: Huh. What is that?

Well, it's certainly not higher prices. The strategic oil reserve, is something we started, because when we got into global war, we went, jeez. If somebody cuts off our oil. We better have enough oil, so we can make the fuel for our planes and aircraft carriers.

That's what the strategic oil reserve is for.

Now, you know, it's not like we're on the edge of World War III.
It's not like we have a -- a global conflict.

Two weeks ago. Two weeks ago, none of us were thinking, hey, I wonder if they were going to launch missiles. None of us were thinking.

None of us were going, you know. It is a possibility, that we have World War III. I mean, it could happen tomorrow. None of us were thinking that.

I'm a guy who worries about everything. I wasn't worried about that two and a half weeks ago. Were you?

So, you know, two and a half weeks ago, maybe. Hey, we'll dip into the strategic oil reserves.

The oil that we have reserved, strategically, so our war machine could have fuel.
Let's dip into that. You know what, we're just going to release a whole bunch of stuff. It is according to Goldman Sachs, not going to make a dime of difference, at the gas pump.

But let's just get rid of some of that oil. Man, that oil is just sitting around, not doing anything.

Okay. Okay.

This is great.

You know what we should do?

We should go and try to destroy anything with the word Russian in it. Like the Russian tea room. Did you hear in Washington, DC, the Russian Waffle House, or whatever the hell it is. It's in DC. Probably run either by the Russian mob, or, you know, the KGB. Probably.

But, you know, I don't think we need to go in and destroy it. Do you?

I mean, as a private citizen, do you think that's really?

I mean, he did lose his black belt. Now, if he loses the Russian Waffle House, what is he going to do?

People are also in New York City, be the going to the Russian tea room, in protest.

Now, let's think this one through. The Russian tea room.

Hmm. It was started in -- well, the 1920s. 1927.

Started by Russian ballet people.

Yeah, from the Soviet Union.

Yeah. That's -- that's the time. Now, I -- who knows what the Russian tea room really is, you know. But let me just tell you. I know it was started in the '20s. I know it was started by a bunch of Russians. And I know there were a bunch of ballerinas. I know they were performing at Carnegie hall.

And then they just left. They left their country. They needed to make ends meet. So they started the Russian tea room. My gosh, the infiltration in this country is crazy.

Now, let's not think and dwell too long. That maybe in 1927. Those members of the imperial ballet, didn't like what was happening in the Soviet Union. And defected.

Russian tea room. Wait a minute. No. It's all about Russia. That tea has got something in it, that makes me hate Ukrainians.

Let's not eat there, I'll tell you that right now. What is wrong with us?

This is the first time, this is the first time -- yeah. I think I can say -- it's the first time, that I have seen such a coordinated effort. On all fronts. I don't know what's true anymore.

I have no idea. I know I've done my homework over the last two years, because of the Trump nightmare. The lies that came from the media, last time about Ukraine. I know who they are. I know how they're connected to Joe Biden. And his lovely son.

I know that our State Department, is responsible for that little Nazi group.

What! How could you say that!

They hate Nazis. No. They really don't. Our State Department and our -- our CIA, they'll fund anyone, anyone.

Oh, that's crazy. They would never do that. They would never do that. I mean, certainly, they wouldn't have done that with Osama Bin Laden. We were the ones who financed all that.

And then it became a little tough. Now, all the newspapers. All of them. New York Times and Washington Post. They have done long stories, on this particular Nazi group.

Okay? They've been against it. They've been wait a minute. None of them are exposing that we financed it. With, gee. That missing $7 million. Where did I put that $7 million?

But now, the Washington Post and the New York Times, they're just rediscovering this Nazi group.

What? Have you heard? No, that's not. That can't be true. No. Ukraine is the good guy. That's -- it's a small group. It's nothing to worry about. Really? Because I read your newspaper. I read what you said before. How do you trust anything?

My job is to tell you the truth. I can't tell you the truth, of what's going on in Ukraine. Because I can't read anything other than what social media has -- has filtered for me, so I only see one side of it.

Or what the cable news companies are showing me.

I don't know.

I don't know. I just know, that Steven Miller is right. That this was the first war, that is all social media.

How dare you say that! Is it because you're white and these people are white. What about Syria?

No. No. No. This one is highly organized. This one involves everyone.

And it involves Zelinsky. Who I like.

But let's not forget, he's an actor.

Let's not forget, he knows how to use social media. Good for him. I'm glad.

But do we know?

I mean, look at how many things that we've heard. Have you heard about the ghost of -- what is it? The ghost of Kyiv? What was that ghost? The pilot.

STU: Yeah. That supposedly was knocking down all these planes. Not accurate.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. It's, what?

Don't pay attention to him. Did you hear about those brave Ukrainian soldiers that were in that island?

And the Russian ship came up. And said, hey, you give up your arms.

And they were like. Screw you, Russia! Yeah, that was a great story. Oh, not true.

STU: They did say that. They just didn't die after it.

GLENN: Yeah. Those brave soldiers, didn't go out in a blaze of glory.

STU: Still a badass move. But they didn't actually die.

GLENN: Who knows what stories are true or not. Okay?

We're in the fog of war. My problem with this is, everybody is just jumping on to a bandwagon. And if you disagree or question and say, hey, let's not race to World War III, you're, of course, an enemy.

STU: Yeah. To this point, Glenn. We're sitting here, talking about this furious, Ukrainian response. Which does seem to be real. And something that I'm cheering on.

GLENN: Me too. Me too.

STU: I want them to fight back. And fight back valiantly, as they are. But how many stories have we heard from the media, about how Russia stalled. They've tried to do this. It's been a lot harder.

They're not getting it to where they want it to be. So it's been a week, since this started. A week. It took us two weeks, to get to Baghdad.

So we are half of the time, that it took us -- in what we all would look at, the easiest, quickest war ever, for us to get to Baghdad.

That was -- remember the whole Baghdad Bob stuff?
Anyone who said they were defending -- they were coming up with the furious defense. They were mocked.

Because it took us two weeks.

It's only been one week.

And I know social media and the news sile, makes it seem like this has been going on forever.

It's been one week. And I feel we have a lot of really ugly days, coming here. In the coming weeks and months.

GLENN: That is -- that is my point.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: How do you really know what's going on, on the ground?

Have you heard the Russian side?

I believe it's most likely propaganda. I can tell you, the West is all propaganda as well, right now.

This is the reason, you have a free flow of information.
So you can read differing accounts, and make your own decisions. But if you really are a nation of, wait a minute. So that's a big nation of a smaller country.

And that's somehow wrong. Well, then, I guess we need overlords to tell us, what we can do.

Yeah. And I'm going to go in, and I'm going to spit that tea out, at that Russian. That commie tea room.

Come on, America. We're better than this. We are better than this.

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.
