You’ve probably heard of ignoring the elephant in the room, but this is more like ignoring a herd of elephants trumpeting and kicking down the walls. On Wednesday, Donald Trump spoke with Glenn Beck, but they did not address January 6. No, sir; instead, they talked about the deplorable state of empty store shelves, supply chains, and the dreadful state of the economy. We’re not sure which country this is taking place in because the American economy is growing at an all-time high. Of course, he had to bring up COVID.
HAVING CANCELED HIS JAN. 6 ANNIVERSARY PRESS CONFERENCE, REPORTEDLY DUE IN PART TO PRESSURE FROM ALLIES WHO WARNED IT WAS A VERY BAD IDEA, TRUMP RELEASED A STATEMENT WEDNESDAY ENCOURAGING HIS “MAGA NATION” FOLLOWERS TO “RISE UP” IN OPPOSITION TO VACCINE MANDATES.
“Our administration did what they said could not be done—vaccines in record time. But we never issued mandates, and I never would! People should be able to choose how they want to govern their own health. The federal government must be reined in.”
Later that night, the blaze ran a lengthy interview between trump and Glenn beck. Covid was on the agenda, as it is one of the many issues beck claims the violent coup to overturn the results of the 2020 election is “distracting” Americans from focusing on. The special was dubbed “the January 6th distraction,” naturally, and the attack on the capitol was not discussed.
Beck brought it up in the intro, though, ranting about how the left is using Jan. 6 as an “opportunity to demonize you,” his viewers. “it was stupid,” beck said of the protesters storming the capitol building before calling the Jan. 6 committee “a complete sham” and a “witch hunt.”
Beck Also Announced He Has Covid.
Beck and trump, seated at mar-a-lago, began on the topic of energy, which they described as one of the biggest problems facing America. Trump decried the Biden administration’s reversal of his attempt to allow drilling in the arctic national wildlife refuge, which he blamed for high gas prices, claiming that gas in California is as expensive as $7.77 per gallon.
According to AAA, gas prices in California are averaging $4.66 for a gallon of regular, a little more than a dollar-per-gallon difference from the national average as of Jan. 5. One gas station, in the remote coastal community of Gorda, has charged as much as $7.59 per gallon in recent months, according to 10 news san Diego, likely because the next closest station to the north is 40 miles away, or 12 miles away to the south.
So now you know how Trump came to the ridiculous conclusion that gas in California was $7.00 a gallon. He discovered one gouger in a remote location and extrapolated his findings to the entire state. California is a massive state.
Of course, he dissed Dr. Fauci. For the past fifty years, he has just done the job he was taught to do, and a mad Republican president has conspired to force the doctor to hire a security squad to protect himself and his four daughters.
As per Politizoom, here’s the whole thing. I doubt you have the stomach for 47:00 of this nonsense, but watch the first five to get a sense of what’s going on. This is the first lesson in disinformation. The tragedy is that a large number of people believe this is true.
