This psychological observation is paired with reports from The Financial Times regarding the United Kingdom's coldest winter start in 30 years. Similar record-breaking cold fronts and ice storms in Washington State and the American South are cited as contradictions to global warming narratives.

Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson faces an advertiser boycott after comments regarding immigration making the country "poorer and dirtier." The hosts argue the comments were taken out of context and represent a coordinated effort by the left to remove a "nuisance" from the airwaves.

By forcing staff to defend easily disprovable claims, the leader makes them more dependent on the administration and less likely to rebel. The hosts mock this analysis as "dumb" and point to the Financial Times as another example of an organization where the staff's social media presence reflects a deep-seated institutional hatred for the President.

Beck suggested that in "dangerous times" where nothing can be trusted, listeners should turn to "biblical" assets like gold and silver.
