All right, welcome back.

Our guest is Glenn K. Beaton.

He was a token conservative.

He says of the Aspen Times.

He was a columnist there for seven years before being fired by email one Christmas Eve.

Because of their dismay, he had become the most popular columnist in the

Since then, he's taken a show on the road. He has nearly a million readers of his blog at the

Aspenbeat.com. He's practiced law, the Supreme Court. He's been an aerospace engineer for Boeing.

He's worked as a roused about in an oil field. A lot of different things. He's an accomplished

amateur mountaineer. He's summited the Iger as well as a Matterhorn. Here you go up, the

Iger. Watch out for that guy that's limping. Uh, he could be coming forward. And a full member of the mountain rescue of Aspen, Colorado.

And of course, Aspen is a place that has always fascinated us, the wealth, the celebrity,

the beauty of the place.

But he's going to tell us what is happening there.

Thank you for joining us, Glenn.

Aspen and other resorts and what the rest of America should avoid. And I think that when I look

at this and you talk about the wealth effect and the stratification that is happening there,

it does look to me like what they have planned for everybody, this concentration of wealth in 2030. Talk a
