Glenn's Show Prep

WATCH: The Big Bang never happened?

February 10, 2015
Staff

WRITER

Here's something you're not seeing reported in the news: the Big Bang may not have ever happened. New research posits that the universe may have existed forever, noting that general relativity can only explain what happened after the Big Bang, not during or before.

Get all the details HERE and scroll down for analysis from Glenn.

GLENN: Oh.

PAT: The science is settled. It's absolutely settled.

GLENN: This should be gigantic news. New quantum studies have shown that there is no such thing as the Big Bang.

STU: Yeah, it didn't happen. Why are you such a big science denier and think this didn't happen.

PAT: Because yesterday you were asking, why are you denying there was a Big Bang. But now you're asking, why are we denying that there wasn't and saying that there was. Yeah, the science is in. It's conclusive.

STU: We know the universe has existed forever. It's eternal.

GLENN: Is that a quote?

STU: The universe may have existed forever, according to a new model that applies quantum correction terms to complement Einstein's theory of general relativity. The model may also account for dark matter and dark energy, resolving multiple problems at once.

PAT: It's the only way they could resolve the math. They could not get the math right.

GLENN: Because everything breaks down the closer you get to the Big Bang.

PAT: Yes.

GLENN: So all physics breaks down.

PAT: Yes. And it certainly breaks down during and prior to the Big Bang because they don't have any clue as to what was before it, how it happened, how this matter formed, what caused it to expand, they don't know any of that.

STU: Right. This brings up the question as to what exactly caused this to exist, if it's been there forever. What came before it?

PAT: Right.

STU: And as always, there's no answer to that.

PAT: Right.

STU: At least the Big Bang --

PAT: But they know everything, but shut up and believe everything they say every day about climate change and everything else because they always know, until they don't. Then now they do.

GLENN: This is huge news! The Big Bang has been discredited?

STU: I mean, maybe some of those are holding on to the antiquated ideas of the Big Bang. But this is a legitimate study.

PAT: Legitimate stuff. It's really fascinating to read the article. It almost sounds like a Sunday school class.

GLENN: Yeah, "the universe is eternal."

PAT: Yeah. It's interesting.

STU: And how many times have we heard the Big Bang -- like, you're a complete idiot if you don't believe exactly in the Big Bang as described.

Listen to this quote: The Big Bang singularity is the most serious problem of general relativity because the laws of physics appear to break down there. As Glenn was just describing, they knew the whole time that it couldn't have possibly happened the way they were describing it, but you still were an idiot for not believing it their way.

PAT: Yes.

GLENN: That's unbelievable.

PAT: Yes. Yes. So they picked this arbitrary. It's not arbitrary. I mean, they used mathematics to figure it out. But they believed it was 13.8 billion years ago that the Big Bang happened. And now, not so much. It's always been here.

[laughter]

Oh, wait. Well -- what happened to create it then? Who did that?

GLENN: You know, you are such a science denier.

PAT: I know. I know. I know.

GLENN: You want to talk about flat earther. Here's the guy who thinks the universe is 13.6 billion years old?

PAT: .8.

GLENN: It's been here forever.

PAT: That's what they'll start saying to the Big Bang theorists. That's what they'll say to them now.

GLENN: No. They won't say that. They won't say that. I think the exact opposite is happening. I think the Big Bang, they will not let go of.

STU: I think you're right.

GLENN: The Big Bang stays.

STU: They'll keep it around for a while.

PAT: Because they have no other explanation for anything. They have to have it.

GLENN: And the Big Bang has been so good at discrediting an eternal being.

PAT: Right.

STU: Like dinosaurs left the earth for a myriad of reasons until they all decided to leave the earth because of meteors that left the earth. I remember seeing that on the cover of TIME Magazine. And it was in the '80s where that's where that came to be. We all realize that, okay, now the accepted thing is that they left because of meteors. But that was never the -- before that, that was not the truth. But scientists were always right in that entire process. They were right until they changed their mind. And they were right again. And only they knew they were wrong before. But they're not wrong then. They're only wrong then now obviously.

PAT: Don't make me go all Piltdown Man on you.

STU: Are you going to do it?

GLENN: Do it. Do it. Do it.

PAT: I might do it.

Okay. For 40 years, for 40 years, scientists believed they had found the missing link. The evolutionary missing link. And they found this skull. And they named him Piltdown Man. And Piltdown Man was the link between primordial man and humans.

Okay. So whatever ape-like creature that we were, this is the link, and then there was us. And for 40 years in the early 20th century, they believed this.

And then in the 1940s, '42, 43-ish, in there somewhere, someone came around and said, this skull is part plastic. I don't think this is actual human bonage here. It seems to be plastic. And they're like, okay, yeah, that wasn't the missing link. Forty years scientists believed that.

GLENN: That can't be true because plastics were new in the 1920s. So either your time is off --

PAT: The timing may be off.

GLENN: Yeah. It is.

PAT: It might be. But it was 40 years, and it was partially plastic. It was partially man-made. Perhaps it was some other sort of polymer.

GLENN: I hate to be a Piltdown Man denier.

PAT: Piltdown Man -- turns out to be a hoax.

STU: It definitely was a hoax.

PAT: It was a hoax.

STU: This is on the Pat Gray best of.

PAT: Oh, yeah. This is on the rotating list.

STU: One of his biggest hits. A lot of times this is the encore at the concert for Pat.

GLENN: He's like, good night, everybody. And they're like, Piltdown! Piltdown! Piltdown! Piltdown!

[laughter]

Okay. I think it was the 1940s.

PAT: For 40 years!

[laughter]

It's like, a long, long time ago.

[laughter]

GLENN: All right. I can't believe he didn't start with Piltdown.

PAT: I will find out exactly what it was made of. Skull fragments. Jaw bone. I'm not seeing what it's made of yet, but I will. I will.

GLENN: Interesting. Interesting.

PAT: I will.

GLENN: And this is the same guy just a few minutes ago said the universe was 13.8 billion years old.

STU: Sucker. This guy will fall for anything that we all believed for decades.

GLENN: What a dope this guy is.

PAT: How long has the Big Bang theory existed? It's been pretty long.

STU: It's been number one for several years.

GLENN: Didn't Hawking have something to do with that? Because Hawking was the one who kind of tried to roll the universe back. Right?

Does anybody know?

PAT: I'm not sure. I don't know.

STU: I don't know the answer to that.

GLENN: I think he was the one who said, let's roll it back. It's expanding. Let's roll it back.

PAT: It's part of the general relativity of Einstein's theory. So he may have started it. And Hawking may have tweaked it. I don't know.

STU: Yeah, because you had the period of 380,000 years of an afterglow light pattern. Then the dark ages. Then the first stars were about 400 million years in. Then the development of galaxies and planets. Dark energy accelerated expansion to today. Of course, that's -- I should say, that's what we believed last week. Now we know it's stupid.

PAT: Completely nonsense.

STU: That was -- it's idiotic now. We can all look back to those times last week when we believed there was a Big Bang.

GLENN: This is such big news. It should be on the front page of everything. The Big Bang isn't right.

[laughter]

How Trump is WINNING at the Panama Canal

MARK SCHIEFELBEIN / Contributor | Getty Images

Despite the doubts of the nay-sayers, Trump's Panamanian plans have already borne fruit.

Shortly before his inauguration, President Trump drew national attention to the Panama Canal. He reminded Americans of just how important the canal is for the U.S. and highlighted the Chinese influence that has been slowly taking control of the vital passage ever since America handed it over to Panama.

President Trump was immediately mocked and ridiculed by the Left, who called him delusional and an imperialist. However, earlier this week, Trump's Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, made a trip to Panama and spoke with the Panamanian President, José Raúl Mulino, and Rubio made some serious headway. As Glenn has explained, Trump's boisterous talk is part of his strategy. Invading Panama was never the goal, just one of several options to get what America needed, and after Rubio's visit, it seems like America's needs will be met.

Here are the TOP THREE takeaways from Marco Rubio's visit to Panama:

1. Marco Rubio makes headway

MARK SCHIEFELBEIN / Contributor | Getty Images

On February 2nd, Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Panamanian Foreign Minister Javier Martínez-Acha and President José Raúl Mulino where they discussed critical regional and global challenges, including the canal. Rubio drew attention to the Treaty Concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal in which the U.S. promised Panama ownership of the canal on the condition of its guaranteed neutrality. Rubio argued that China's growing influence qualified as a breach of the treaty and that it gives the U.S. the power to take necessary measures to rectify the faults, given Panama doesn't act. As of this week, reports say Panama agreed and promised to take immediate action to purge Chinese influence from canal operations.

2. Panama is ditching China's Belt Road

MARK SCHIEFELBEIN / Contributor | Getty Images

After his meeting with Rubio, Panamanian President Mulino agreed that Panama would step away from China's "Belt and Road Initiative" (BRI). The BRI is a Chinese effort to establish China as the main economic power in developing nations across the world. In 2017, Panama signed on to this initiative, and China's influence in the small nation has exponentially grown. However, after Rubio's visit, President Mulino has not only stated that Panama will not renew its agreement with China, but moreover, the country will also look for ways to back out of the agreement early. This is a massive win for the Trump Administration and the American people.

3. The Chinese may lose their ports on the canal

Shortly after Rubio left Panama City, two lawyers spearheaded the effort to kick out a Chinese company that controls two major ports on the Panama Canal. The Chinese company—CK Hutchison Holdings—has operated one port on both ends of the canal since 1997, which could potentially give China a massive degree of control over traffic. After analyzing the contract, the Panamanian lawyers argue that the contract is potentially in violation of the Panamanian constitution and should be revoked. It is unclear if the constitutional issues relate to the Treaty Concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal, but even on its own merit, this is a huge victory for America.

Top 15 jobs AI is TAKING OVER

CFOTO / Contributor, VCG / Contributor | Getty Images

The AI takeover has begun.

Last week, Glenn delved into the World Economic Forum's 2025 summit in Davos, where our malevolent overlords focused especially on AI and how it can replace millions of workers worldwide. We are at the precipice of a monumental change in how the world is run—WEF founder Klaus Schwab called it "The Fourth Industrial Revolution"—and in time, AI will augment every one of our lives.

Already, AI is taking jobs. Thousands, if not millions, of tasks are slowly being delegated to it. The affected fields are largely data entry, admin tasks, and clerical work, along with graphic design and some customer support roles. However, as AI becomes more sophisticated, the scope of its abilities will only grow. The WEF is all for it, and last month they released a shocking chart

that revealed what jobs were already feeling the pain. Check out the top 15 jobs that are already disappearing:

3 stories that prove USAID is a criminal organization

Kevin Dietsch / Staff | Getty Images

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has one mission—to eliminate government waste—and it's starting with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). USAID is a federal agency that, on paper, is responsible for distributing foreign aid to conflict-ridden zones across the world. However, for years, Glenn has revealed that the USAID acts more like a second CIA, but without the regulation or oversight under the State Department. Elon Musk concurred, describing the federal agency as not merely "an apple with a worm in it" but rather "just a ball of worms."

Don't fall for the left's narrative calling USAID a "humanitarian" organization. Here are the top three stories that reveal just how corrupt the USAID really is:

1. USAID has funded terrorist organizations and Osama bin Laden

In 2023, USAID provided "assistance" to nearly 130 countries, including Ukraine, Ethiopia, Jordan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia, Yemen, Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, Nigeria, South Sudan, and Syria (which is currently run by a terrorist that received aid from the Obama-era CIA). Under Obama, USAID gave funds to an organization known as the Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA), which was known at the time to help finance Jihadist groups and had been labeled by the U.S. Treasury Department as a "terror-financing organization."

The ISRA also funded and gave shelter to the 9/11 mastermind, Osama bin Laden—U.S. taxpayer dollars sent straight to the perpetrator of the deadliest terrorist attack in history and the most lethal attack on U.S. soil.

2. USAID "loses" funds that happen to end up in individuals' pockets

MANDEL NGAN / Contributor | Getty Images

A recent investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) revealed that in 2016, Chemonics International colluded with a USAID subcontractor to massively overcharge a USAID project to pocket extra funds from the project's bottom line. Moreover, the USAID project used "self-reported" performance metrics, which made it impossible to verify the actual progress of the project and how the funds were being used.

Even the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic has USAID's sticky fingerprints all over it. In 2014, USAID provided $38 million to an EcoHealth Alliance project called "Predict-2." One of the subcontractors, Ben Hu, headed the Wuhan Institute of Virology's gain-of-function research and was one of the first three people infected with COVID-19 in late 2019. That means U.S. taxpayer dollars were likely used to fund the very research that gave rise to the COVID-19 pandemic.

3. USAID operates as a second "CIA" with no accountability

The CIA isn't the only agency that meddles in the political inner workings of foreign powers. USAID has conducted similar operations since the 1950s. USAID notoriously sowed dissent in Cuba to grow U.S. influence, and they even taught South American police forces Nazi torture methods. In the late 1990s, 300,000 Peruvian women were forcibly sterilized in a "poverty reduction strategy" that received $35 million in funding from USAID.

More recently, USAID's foreign influence has grown significantly under former Obama adviser, Samantha Power, called USAID America's "soft power arsenal." Under her leadership, the organization meddled in the political affairs of several nations, including Ukraine, Ethiopia, and, Bolivia. Several domestic, left-leaning influence groups, such as the Tides Center, received several grants and aid.

Top THREE reasons we NEED the Panama Canal

Is Trump seriously planning a military conquest of the Panama Canal?

In the weeks leading up to the inauguration, Donald Trump launched the Panama Canal into the national spotlight. The canal is one of the most important passages in the world, and its continued operation has been critical for both the U.S. military and economy since its construction.

Since America relinquished sovereignty of the canal, China has asserted its authority in the region. The Chinese Communist Party has been growing its influence in Panama and neighboring Latin American countries, convincing them to join their "Belt and Road Initiative," an effort to poise China as the main economic power in developing nations across the world. Panama in particular is quickly becoming a Chinese puppet state. There are currently over 200,000 Chinese living in Panama, a Chinese company runs two of the canal's five major ports, and another Chinese company provides telecommunication service for a large portion of the canal. The government of Panama has even gone as far as cutting diplomatic ties with Taiwan.

It's clear that the Panama Canal is under serious threat of falling into Chinese hands, but President Trump doesn't intend to let them move in. Here are the top three reasons we need the Panama Canal:

1. The canal was built by the U.S.

Hulton Archive / Stringer | Getty Images

Without the United States, neither Panama nor the Panama Canal would exist. In 1903, after Colombia refused to allow the U.S. to build a canal across the isthmus of Panama, President Teddy Roosevelt devised a controversial plan. He supported a Panamanian independence movement, which swiftly overthrew the local Colombian government. Meanwhile, he stationed a U.S. warship off the coast, preventing Colombia from sending military forces to retake Panama.

The moment Panama declared its independence, the U.S. recognized it and struck a deal with the new government: the U.S. would control the Canal Zone, while Panama would receive $10 million and an annual payment of $250,000. Construction of the canal took over a decade, cost $375 million, and resulted in thousands of American casualties, making it the most expensive U.S. construction project of its time.

Fast forward to 1964 when tensions between the U.S. and Panama over the canal erupted into a riot. President Lyndon B. Johnson decided it was time to transfer control of the canal to Panama. However, this proved more complicated than expected. In 1968, General Omar Torrijos, a known ally of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, seized control of Panama in a coup. Negotiations over the Canal stalled, as many Americans opposed giving such an important asset to a controversial figure. It wasn’t until 1999, following the deployment of 27,000 U.S. troops to facilitate yet another change in power, that the Canal was officially handed over to Panama.

2. The canal is vital for the U.S. economy

IVAN PISARENKO / Contributor | Getty Images

The U.S. relies heavily on the Panama Canal for commercial shipping. Between 13 and 14 thousand ships use the Panama Canal every year, which is roughly 40 percent of the global cargo ship traffic. Additionally, 72 percent of ships traversing the canal are either heading toward or leaving a U.S. port.

The time ships save using the Panama Canal reduces shipping costs massively. For example, when the canal first opened in 1922, it was estimated that a ship’s journey from Oregon to the UK, was shortened by 42 percent, reducing costs by 31 percent. If the Panama Canal was blocked or destroyed, or if American merchant vessels were denied passage, the effects on the U.S. economy would be tremendous.

3. The canal is a key defense point for the U.S. military

Historical / Contributor | Getty Images

Similarly, the canal is key to the U.S. military and national security. The canal shaves off approximately 8,000 miles of the voyage between the Pacific and the Atlantic. If U.S. Navy ships were denied access in a time of crisis, the extra time required to bypass the canal would be disastrous. Conversely, if the U.S. can keep the Panama Canal from being used by foreign aggressors, it would provide a massive advantage in future conflicts.

A foreign enemy could easily exploit the canal's current vulnerability. This was proven in 2021 when a cargo ship accidentally blocked the Suez Canal for a week, paralyzing global trade. Imagine China intentionally sabotaging the Panama Canal, considering it controls ports on both ends, owns a bridge that spans the Canal, provides its telecom services, and has the second-largest fleet of ships using the route.
