Glenn Beck DISMANTLES Whoopi Goldberg’s flawed take on Biden’s hidden decline
On the May 20 episode of ABC’s “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg responded to the release of Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s book “Original Sin,” which details allegations of a cover-up by Biden’s staff regarding his physical and cognitive decline during his presidency.
“Why is it important to know now?” she asked the audience, implying that because it’s in the past, it’s not worth looking into.
Glenn Beck compares her question to saying, “So the bank was robbed; they got their money back through insurance. … Why are we still going after these bank robbers?”
“Are you crazy?” he asks, bewildered. “If the truth doesn't matter on this, then neither does your vote, and if that is true, we do not have a republic at all.”
In this recent episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn passionately dismantles Goldberg’s flawed logic in three compelling points.
1. Empowering criminals
By not investigating who covered up Biden’s deteriorating health, we’re telling criminals they are “above the law.”
Glenn points to the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D) and the assault charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) for their roles in an ICE protest as an example of what happens when protesters believe they can get away with anything.
“If we would have put people behind bars who were looting Macy's and burning cities down [during the 2020 BLM riots] … we wouldn't be sitting in this situation,” he says. “Once you ignore something, you teach bad people or even people who are just frustrated with the system ‘oh well, they can do it, I can do it too.”’
2. Guaranteeing future scandals
Second, refusing to investigate Biden’s health cover-up makes it far more likely that a massive scandal of the same nature will happen again. Glenn points to what just occurred at the National Institutes of Health earlier this week as an example.
On Monday, during a town hall meeting, NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya said, “It’s possible that the pandemic was caused by research conducted by human beings, and it’s also possible that the NIH partly sponsored that research.”
“If it’s true that we sponsored research that caused the pandemic — and if you look at the polls of the American people, that’s what most people believe, and I’ve looked at the scientific evidence and I believe it — [then] what we have to do is make sure that we don’t engage in research that is any risk … to human populations,” he continued, despite several NIH employees storming out of the meeting.
“That’s why [Biden’s health cover-up] matters!” says Glenn.
We can’t restore the NIH’s credibility “if we ignore the truth that the NIH most likely … [was] involved in a cover-up because they were funding things they weren't supposed to be funding,” and we “can't save the republic by ignoring that the president wasn't in control of his faculties or the government,” he explains.
3. Protecting people
The most important reason that Biden’s health cover-up must be investigated, however, is simply because people matter.
Glenn highlights the investigation of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) for his handling of nursing home deaths during COVID-19.
“It needs to be investigated; it needs to be tried in open and fair court, and if he's guilty, he needs to go to jail. Why? ... Because you hate the Cuomos?” Glenn asks. “No, because I love people more, and I don't want people to be able to be killed in a nursing home because they're expendable.”
But “you can't solve that unless you put the people behind bars that encouraged that, because they'll just do it again, and if they don't, somebody else will do it,” he warns.
The same applies to the people who hid Biden’s deteriorating health, putting all the people in this country at risk by allowing an impaired leader to make critical decisions unchecked, either by his own compromised judgment or under the influence of unelected controllers.
“There's two reasons why we're in the situation we're in,” says Glenn. “One: Nobody knows the Constitution; nobody's following it. Two: Nobody's listening to the sage advice of three presidents.”

Celebs under siege! Whoopi muzzled, Young fears gulag as Trump reign of terror continues
Whoopi Goldberg is suddenly super concerned about free speech.
The batty co-host of “The View” said nothing as conservatives were silenced in Hollywood ... the Twitter Files erased right-leaning voices – scientists got punished during the COVID-19 outbreak ... the Biden administration attempted to set up a Ministry of Speech (and we could go on).
'If I talk about Donald J. Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminum blanket.'
Now, she thinks President Donald Trump is attacking speech. And she’s hella angry and, apparently, confused.
Because removing public funding from PBS is akin to squashing speech.
It’s exhausting to cite Goldberg’s brain drain, but we’ll never tire of pointing out her hypocrisy ...
Old man
Neil Young once headlined a Freedom of Speech Tour in the Bush era. Years later, the faux hippie tried to get Joe Rogan booted off Spotify for sharing the “wrong” information on COVID-19. Never mind that Rogan was more right than wrong, and legacy media got plenty dead wrong.
It looked like Young had shredded his hippie bona fides. He couldn’t sink any lower. Inconceivable!
Oh, yes he could.
Now, Young is complaining that he’d like to tour the U.S., but President Donald Trump may not allow it.
“If I talk about Donald J. Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminum blanket. ... That is happening all the time now. ... If I come back from Europe and am barred, can’t play my USA tour, all of the folks who bought tickets will not be able to come to a concert by me.”
Funny he should mention Europe. In Germany, police will knock on your door if you post the “wrong” social media meme. “60 Minutes” did a whole segment on that dystopian reality.
And that’s currently happening in England, too. Why, it’s the kind of situation a free speech warrior might rage against.
Not Young.
This hippie hack better lay low before he decimates the rest of his once-sterling brand ...
Fifth 'Wick' flick sticks
Even Keanu Reeves can’t say no to John Wick.
The now-60-year-old star had publicly suggested his days as the fearless hit man were over. After all, his title character died in the fourth installment. That seems pretty permanent. Plus, the actor admitted his age is starting to creep up on him.
Then again, if Tom Cruise can do his own stunts at 62, surely an "active senior" like Reeves can keep his signature franchise going.
Yeah, we're thinking he's back.
Get ready for a fifth “John Wick” installment. It’s official. Hollywood is desperate for as many sure things as it can muster. If that means Reeves must keep his Wickian beard into his 70s, so be it ...
Hate-night TV
Satirists get away with rhetorical murder these days. Remember when Stephen Colbert said, during the height of the Russian collusion hoax, that the “only thing [Trump’s] mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s BLEEP holster.”
Bet he’d like to take that vulgar joke back. Or maybe not. Colbert isn’t too worried about truthful gags.
Now, far-left “funnyman” John Oliver may be wishing he wasn’t so loose with his tongue. A health care insurance executive is suing the HBO star for comments he made on “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.”
Dr. Brian Morley says Oliver “knowingly and falsely” defamed him. The comments in question came last April when Oliver launched into yet another profane rant that seemed disconnected from comedy.
“F*** that doctor with a rusty canoe,” and “I hope he gets tetanus of the balls.” He later added that Morley “thinks it’s OK if people have s*** on them for days.”
Morley wants the episode in question to be removed from all platforms. He also seeks financial restitution.
We’ll leave the matter to the lawyers, and it’s likely given Oliver’s satirical status he’ll survive the suit. If Dr. Morley is successful, the face of today’s hate-night TV might look very different.
