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.

Uncovering the truth: National Guard ambush in DC

National Guard members Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe were recently ambushed in Washington, DC, by an Afghan national brought to the US as part of President Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome. What’s the truth about this horrific event? Glenn Beck, who worked with his charity, Mercury One, to properly vet and evacuate many Afghans during the botched withdrawal, explains what almost no one in the government or media will tell you…

GLENN: So we clearly have a problem with some of the people that have been airlifted into the United States.

And I want to clarify a couple of things.

Because we airlifted people. You did. With your support.

We did it, at Mercury One.

And I want to make sure that you understand what happened there, and where our people, that we airlifted, where they are.

But first, let me say this. What we're seeing experience here is a story that almost no one in Washington wants to say out loud. And it begins with the people. But it -- it begins with the people that are responsible for failure, and that's -- that's our leadership here in America. A failure of honesty, a failure of courage the whole time.

When Kabul fell back in 2021, we rushed in to do what Americans always do, and that's help people out. We run to save. We ran to keep our word, and God bless every soldier and airman and Marine and volunteer who risk everything to rescue the men and women who stood for us, for 20 long years.

But here's the part that nobody prints. We didn't just evacuate our allies. We did. But the United States government evacuated anyone they could grab. In the chaos. Because chaos is the oldest enemy of truth. We opened up floodgates.

Tens of thousands of people, we didn't know. Nobody really vetted. Nobody could verify.

Nobody could fully account for. Even today, we don't know where they are.

That's not xenophobia. That's not fear-mongering. That's the Department of Homeland Security's own inspector saying that. Quote, we don't know who many of these people are. End quote.

This is something that while we're doing it, our vetting is much better than the United States of America.

They're bringing in people they don't know who they are.

Now, think of the weight of the sentence. Came from the inspector general. We don't know who many of these individuals are.

Think about the histories of nations, who forgot the simple duty of understanding who they bring inside the gates.

When that happens, the country is over. Rome did it. The Byzantine empire did it. Europe did it, before the migrant crisis, and now in 2021, we did it as well. And we knew this. We've been talking about it on this program, forever!

Now, inside of our temporary bases, Fort McCoy, Fort Bliss, Quantico, even our own FBI and military police documented things that the media just dusted off.

Eh, don't worry about it. We showed you at the time, sexual assaults that were happening in these temporary bases. Sexual assaults. Domestic abuse. Attempted strangulation. US service women harassed and followed into showers. Did we do anything about it?

These were not rumors. These were not internet stories. They were actual federal charges. Did anybody say anything about them?

Meanwhile, police departments. Virginia, California. Texas. Places with the largest Afghani arrivals began reporting the same exact pattern. Domestic violence, forced marriage concerns. Child protection cases. Cultural classes. And our law enforcement had to deal with them.

And did anybody in the media say anything about it?

No. Why?

You were bigoted if you said anything about it. Here's what happened. Our government took a lot of people from a tribal system.

Patriarchal. War-torn. No skills. No -- imagine going from Afghanistan to Chicago! How do you survive in that? How do you survive in that? Now, that's not the fault of the families. That's the fault of the federal government. A government that through them and us, into a social experiment overnight. Without even thinking about it, talking about it. Accept it.

Some of the people that are paroled into the United States, had ties to the Taliban, ISIS-K, or another, or several other. Terrorist organizations. That's not speculation. That has been confirmed by our own DOD. DHS. And congressional testimony.

We've known this for a very long time.

You know, when the Pentagon warns you, that that person should probably not be in the United States.

I don't know. Maybe we should listen to them. And maybe we should be concerned about a DHS, or a State Department that waves them in anyway. That's not compassion. That's dereliction of duty, period. Period.

Now, add to this, the humanitarian parole system. Meant for rare, urgent cases. It was a revolving door. You -- where are all these refugees from?

I'm not talking about the Afghanis. I'm talking about all the other people that have gone to Europe. That have gone to the United States.

That are swamping countries in the West. Where are they coming from?

Really? There's that big of a -- this is a bigger refugee problem than we've had in World War II. How is that possible. Know

We can't confirm anybody as identity. It doesn't seem that we care. Asylum. Family reunification request. Exploded. Some valid. Some of them unprovable. Some of them just out and out lies, that we knew were lies.

So what happened?

Our cities become strained. Our cities go into disorder. They start stealing from us. Look at Minneapolis.

Here's the biggest strain. The biggest strain on us, is the truth.

Is honesty.

It takes courage to say what actually happened.

But, you know, we're not living in a time of courage. We're living in a time where people saying the truth. You know, you acknowledge reality. And you get labeled.

You notice patterns. Oh, my gosh. You're silenced.

You ask responsible questions, you're accused of bigotry.

Truth doesn't care about the labels. It just sits there.

It just waits for somebody to show up and go, you know. That's the truth. I'm going to have to say it. So let's say it!

Here's the truth: America owes a sacred debt to anybody we promised.

Anybody who was fighting with them, we should protect them. We should honor them. We should welcome them. But that's not what happened. That's not what happened. We didn't perform a moral rescue as a government. We performed a political evacuation.

And I was there, so I know it.

You know, somebody posted kind of a snarky tweet at me, because I spoke at our gala here a couple of weeks ago. And I talked about what the State Department was doing. And I said, you know, it's time to understand how evil the State Department really was during that evacuation. Our people were vetted.

And we didn't bring people into the United States.

We brought people to the UAE. A lot of people went to Australia, a lot of people -- and I said, sat on the tarmac, forever!

Forever!

Because the State Department was shutting town and saying, we can't verify any of these people.

We can verify who these people were.

We knew who these people were.

Most of the people who we brought out, we can show you their baptismal certificate. Because that was part of our vetting. Are you a Christian?

Really? When were you baptized? Who baptized you? What church did you belong to?

Because we knew you were under the gun. Now, if you were like, yeah, I was just baptized three weeks ago. You didn't get on one of our planes, unless the State Department insisted you get on one of our planes. That's what I was saying on this video, that we just reposted. I was saying in the video. Did you know the compromise that they forced to us take.

You want to save these Christians. You have to save these people. You have to put those people on first.

We don't know who those people are. I don't know who those people are.

And those are were the ones that came to America.

We gambled with the future of these Afghani families. Because we just threw them in.

Just throw them in!

They'll be fine!

We threw them into a system not based on reality, of any sort.

We threw them in, without vetting them!

Meanwhile, we would not take the Christians. Hmm. I want you to know, we should not be attacking anybody, except honestly, condemning our government. Because it refuses to tell the truth on what it did and what it failed to do. The mark of a nation that is in decline isn't -- isn't who it lets in.

A mark of the nation in decline is whether it can confess. It can admit to its own mistakes, talk about the truth and the consequences. And today, Congress is whispering. The media is hiding.
Did you read any of the stories?

Hopefully, you didn't. Hopefully you just had a great time on vacation and the holiday.

But I did. My team did. Did you read the stuff from the New York Times?

They still can't admit the truth. They don't even know what the truth is.

I'm still here waiting for the courage of any adult to stand up. A great nation can welcome the stranger. But a dying nation loses the wisdom to ask who this is stranger?

And that -- that -- that gate we passed long ago.

The question is: Do you want to be a dying nation or not? I don't. I don't.

We can't afford to be a dying nation. The world can't afford us to die. So what do we do about it?

Well, the first step is defending your home. And the first step in defending your home is knowing who is inside your home.

And I will show you how we that do quite easily, in a second.

GLENN: Okay.

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, by the way. The largest single day of global generosity in the entire year. We have a goal of Mercury One for hurricanes and all kinds of other things we do. $300,000 to our maximum impact fund.

We would like this to make the biggest giving Tuesday Mercury One has ever had. The Maximum Impact Fund allows to us move before we have the money. I come on, and I say, hey. There's a tornado or whatever.

We need to raise that money. But by the time we can get that money from you into the bank, it's maybe, two, three, four days later. We would like to be there when it actually happens. This gives us the leeway of being able to move quickly.

So if you can -- if you can give, whether it's a dollar, $5. Whatever you can give. Whatever you can give.

It gives us. At a moment's notice. The ability to move during a crisis. 100 percent of it, if you don't count the credit card fees. 100 percent of it goes down range. So it goes right directly to what it is, you're trying to solve and help people. We don't pull anything off of the top. That's tomorrow and today. You can give at MercuryOne.org. MercuryOne.org. Give your tax deductible Tuesday gift, MercuryOne.org.

Okay. So first thing is first.

You've got to draw a line in the sand. And here's the word that every -- shuts every conversation down.

It's a word wielded like a club.

And it's to not illuminate anything. It's to silence.

And here's the word. Islamophobia. You say anything about the rising violence in Europe. The honor killings.

The grooming gangs. The refugees, who are not refugees at all. But sleeper cells.

Examine suddenly, you're a bigot. This isn't about bigotry. This is the first line you have to cross.

This is about civilization.

So let's draw the line between faith and ideology.

Because on Islam is a religion. Practiced by a billion people. It contains families that I've met, I know. Doctors I trust. Soldiers who fight beside Americans. Millions of peaceful, devout people who just want what you and I want, to raise their children in peace. But Islamism, an Islamist is not a Muslim. This is something entirely different.

Islamism is not a religion. It is a totalitarian system that wraps itself inside of the language. The way Mark wraps tyranny with equality. Okay? Hitler wrapped conquest with national destiny.

Islamism is Communism with a crescent moon. Islamism is fascism in a mosque, and it has absolutely zero intent of co-existing with the West. It comes not to blend in, but to rule. And if you doubt me, ask the women in Iran. If you doubt me, ask the socialists that helped the Islamic revolution in the 1970s. Ask me what happened to them! Because all of them lost their heads. Ask the Christians of Nigeria. Ask the families in Paris and Berlin and London, who are now living under police patrols, because their leaders were too afraid to speak plainly.

You know, we love to open our arms. That's fine. America always does that. But you must. When you open your arms, keep your eyes open as well!

A refugee seeking freedom is a blessing. A refugee seeking a

CARLY: Is a Trojan horse. And we have every moral right.

Every moral duty. To know the difference!

It's not about hating anybody.

I don't hate anybody.

I hate those who want to destroy us.

Want to kill my family.

Want to enslave me under some sort of religion.

Yeah. I do hate those people.

But this is about loving civilization that gave the world dignity of the individual, the rights of women.

Yeah, it was. Not -- not a caliphate.
The protection of minorities. Not a caliphate, us. The freedom to speak and worship. Or not worship. If defending those values makes me or you controversial, then, wow. Controversy is a very small price to pay. Don't you think? Because the alternative is, oh, I don't know. What's happening in Europe.

The alternative is silence! And silence in history is always the first sign of collapse. So the first thing we have to do is choose speech!

Choose truth. Choose civilization.

Black Friday used to be a WARNING...

Before the door-buster deals and stampedes, “Black Friday” meant total financial panic (gold crashing, markets collapsing). Then in the 1950s, Philadelphia cops reused the term because the day-after-Thanksgiving chaos felt like the end of civilization. But the real twist? FDR moved Thanksgiving itself in 1939 just to give retailers an extra week of Christmas shopping — dividing the country until Congress finally caved in 1941. So, what started as a sacred day of survival and gratitude got permanently hijacked by Washington and big business.

The forgotten truth of Thanksgiving that can SAVE divided families

Every year, family members dread getting together for Thanksgiving due to a rise if political division. Glenn Beck strips away the modern trimmings of Thanksgiving — the parade, the football, the turkey — and takes us back to where it all began: a small band of Pilgrims who lost almost everything yet chose to stop and give thanks to God for the fragile miracle of survival. Thanksgiving isn’t a holiday about abundance. It’s a holiday about gratitude in the face of hardship, humility before unearned blessings, and the recognition that true freedom always costs something. Also, StoryCorps Founder & President Dave Isay joins Glenn to share a story of the difference that one small act of kindness can make.

Jimmy Kimmel's wife admitted something AWFUL about Trump voters

As many families across the nation are mentally preparing to deal with their family members who hold different political beliefs than they do, there's ONE family who isn't, because they've kicked them out of their lives: Jimmy Kimmel and his wife, Molly McNearney. During a recent podcast appearance, McNearney admitted she lost relationships with some family members after they voted for Trump when she told them not to. Glenn reminisces on a time when family members stayed family, and didn't let political differences get in the way.
