Dr. Ben Carson's Prescription to Heal America | Ep 98

To the Left, "unity" means "destroy everyone we disagree with." But Dr. Ben Carson has another message: "We are not each other's enemies." As the Biden administration insists America is systemically racist, Dr. Carson's life proves just how far we've come. Despite facing poverty as a child, he became a renowned neurosurgeon, a candidate for president, and former secretary of Housing and Urban Development — one of the only Cabinet members to survive all four years of the Trump administration.

He joins Glenn to review his time in the administration, including as part of the White House's coronavirus task force, and how he discovered "the swamp is deeper and wider than I expected." But above all, he urges Americans to take courage and stand for our freedoms — and previews his newest venture to do just that as founder and chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute: "What version of America do we want?"

Will California Use Bird Flu to Return to Draconian COVID-Era Restrictions?

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently declared a state of emergency over bird flu, and of course his “solution” is to give government agencies more money! Glenn and California refugee ‪@lizwheeler‬ discuss the absurdity of the story: Does Gavin Newsom really want to return to COVID-era draconian policies that much?! “Gavin Newsom is the Justin Trudeau of America,” Genn argues. “The guy is a wannabe dictator.” Also, Liz reveals “the tipping point” that made her move out of California.

How I Brought BRAVEHEART'S SWORD Into Mar-a-Lago

Glenn was recently invited to Mar-a-Lago to give a speech in front of Donald Trump at a PragerU event. But he admits he wasn't really thinking when he decided to bring 2 weird weapons to use as props: William Wallace's sword from "Braveheart" and a World War II-era rat with a bomb in its butt. Glenn tells the hilariously true story of how he got the items past Secret Service and, in the process, became a Secret Service legend that agents may talk about for generations.

EVIDENCE China MIGHT Take Taiwan Before Trump's Inauguration

We are entering a "wildly dangerous" time, Glenn warns. China's economy is collapsing, social unrest is on the rise, and the government appears to be reverting to Mao-era practices. So, will the Chinese Communist Party attack Taiwan to boost its national morale while America is still weak? This could be China's last chance before 4 more years of Trump or even 8-12 more years of America First policies. So, will the world look very different by New Year's day or, at the latest, January 20th? And how would America respond? Would we destroy Taiwan's superchip factories before China can take them? Glenn and Stu give their thoughts ...
