Summary

How our kids are being groomed by the Federal Reserve is a big problem, and we're going to talk about it in this special episode of the Glennon Back Program. Today's special is based on the G. Edward Griffin book, The Creature from Jekyll Island, which is all about the Fed, how it was built, what it does, where it gets its authority, and who's causing it.

00:00:13.940 worse than a surprise of one of your systems going down. Your refrigerator goes down,
00:00:20.280 air conditioning or heat. Nobody likes to think about those breakdowns, but they happen.

00:01:26.040 Got no room to compromise.
00:01:41.980 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn
00:02:09.560 back program. Hello, America. Welcome to Wednesday. Tonight, we have a big special on how our kids are
00:02:19.840 being groomed. And it is it's terrifying. We're going to get into it just a bit. You need to know
00:02:26.320 what's going on. And it's not just happening in California or New York. It's happening in all of
00:02:31.360 our schools happening here in Texas. It is rampant. We'll tell you all about it coming up in just a
00:02:37.880 little while. Also, I want to talk about something bigger. People, people say, what do we do? What
00:02:43.840 do we do? What do we do? What are we going to? How are we going to save our nation? Well, the first
00:02:49.780 step, I think, is making a choice. Are you going to be free or are you going to be happily fed by
00:03:00.000 someone? I'll explain that choice in 60 seconds. First of all, how does inflation work? Who creates
00:03:11.620 it? Why is the answer to that pretty much always the Federal Reserve? Most people don't know what the
00:03:18.380 Fed is. They think it's part of the government. And it is not. It is a private corporation owned
00:03:24.480 by all of the biggest banks. They have so much power. They are really responsible for our inflation
00:03:33.760 and our economic problems and the eventual loss of the dollar as the world's reserve currency.
00:03:41.920 So who are they? Well, I've been telling you about the Tuttle Twins books for a while.
00:03:46.540 Well, these are, I think, essential for every home to have. They take really important books,
00:03:54.840 mainly about our founding or anything about how the free market works, and they make it easy for
00:04:01.460 kids to understand. Well, they have one called the Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island.
00:04:07.420 And I've asked them to make this one free so you can just check it out. This is based on the G.
00:04:13.560 Edward Griffin book, the Creature from Jekyll Island, which is all about the Fed, how it was
00:04:21.320 built, what it does, where it gets its authority. How does inflation happen? How do you stop inflation?
00:04:28.160 Who's causing it? These things are going to be the most important topic around your table.
00:04:33.740 And the most important decisions that you will make will be revolving around inflation. You need to
00:04:40.820 understand it. It's free for any family. TuttleTwinsBeck.com. TuttleTwinsBeck.com.
00:04:48.740 So I was reading an article, and I'm having a hard time editing it because I think it's so important.
00:04:54.780 It comes from Alex Svetsky. He is the author of The Uncommunist Manifesto. And he says,
00:05:04.060 modern society must make a decision. We as individuals in a modern society are becoming
00:05:10.440 more technocratically dystopian by the day. We will inevitably be faced with a choice.
00:05:19.620 Now, he points out in this a big difference between cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. Hang on.
00:05:36.440 He says, the West is no longer the West. I don't even know if it deserves to be capitalized.
00:05:42.380 What made it great and successful, the Enlightenment values and the sovereignty of the individual are all
00:05:49.000 but dissolved in the morass of modernity's mindlessness. Gone are the days of excellence,
00:05:56.560 greatness, and standing out. In are the days of conformity, compliance, acceptance, participation
00:06:03.580 awards, and just fitting in. The values and virtues that made the West great have been replaced with
00:06:10.600 the incessant cry for comfort and convenience in return for obedience. The crescendo of this horrific
00:06:19.380 orchestra is nigh. Gaslighting is the norm. Like Orwell predicted, war is now peace. Freedom is now
00:06:27.400 slavery. Ignorance is now strength. The West was not defeated by a single blow. It has been death by a
00:06:35.640 thousand minute and meaningless cuts. From pronouns to equity, scientism, welfare, climate alarmism,
00:06:46.500 political correctness. This incessant need to deconstruct objective reality into completely
00:06:53.420 arbitrary subjective falsehoods. That has transformed the once great West into a cesspool of moral
00:07:01.960 relativism. When everything matters. When everything matters, nothing matters. We are truly living in a
00:07:10.740 clown world. We used to aspire to greatness and excellence. We were interested in the idea of
00:07:18.060 quality, of worth, of value. But there is no more value. Like the money we conjure out of thin air and
00:07:27.580 used to measure human action in all resources. Everything has been supposedly made abundant
00:07:34.320 because we have no anchor to real cost. And as a result, we're drowning in excess quantities of fake
00:07:42.520 wealth, of junk that doesn't matter. Whether this be NFTs, moronic media, reality TV, fake celebrities,
00:07:52.320 brainwashing at school, nursing home level politicians, or scandemic, scandemics.
00:08:02.480 And because we spend all of our time lying to ourselves and burning through real resources,
00:08:08.300 we are simultaneously suffering from shortages and areas that do matter. Energy, food, responsibility,
00:08:17.080 intelligence, intelligence, and courage. We used to be pioneers. We used to envision our place in the
00:08:25.680 stars. Now we bicker and worry about our place in the dirt. It's a sad time for humanity. And dare I say
00:08:35.340 only God knows when we come out on the other side, if we do it all. The empire of lies cannot last,
00:08:45.020 and it will collapse either on top of all of us or atop only some. I sincerely hope the latter for the
00:08:53.920 only meaningful and realistic goal we have left as sovereign intelligent individuals is to limit the
00:09:02.340 collateral damage. As we embark on this pursuit, and as the collapse of these false orders inevitably
00:09:09.540 occur, it's my belief that Homo sapiens will bifurcate into two primary camps and perhaps two different
00:09:18.320 species. One, Homo lemminus, and two, Homo bitcoinius. The first one is a classic midwit NPC status
00:09:39.360 persona. Those who lack personal control and restraint and as such project that lack onto the rest of the
00:09:48.040 world. The key characteristic of the yearning to reduce the diverse constituents of a complex organism
00:09:56.720 into simple numbers and transform these systems into mere spreadsheets. They are the doctors who believe
00:10:04.640 health is the absence of disease, that disease is the absence of modern medicine, and that depression
00:10:11.760 is the absence of Prozac. They lack the capacity to think holistically, and they view all fractal complex
00:10:20.920 systems as linear and isolated from the whole. They have major control issues because they lack
00:10:28.640 self-control and therefore compensate by attempting to control others. They're willing to trade the
00:10:36.700 diversity and complexity of life for sterility and linear control. On the other hand, Homo bitcoinius
00:10:47.340 will be the kind of individual who continues to become more robust, sovereign, and self-reliant.
00:10:54.220 They will be too busy practicing self-mastery and building something of value to bother with
00:11:00.660 meddling in other people's lives. They will be more local. They will own the product of their labor.
00:11:08.220 They will trade freely, and they will have no master. They will own stuff and be happy.
00:11:15.680 Of course, there will be diverse classes of people arranged into hierarchies of competence.
00:11:25.380 They'll not be built on some arbitrary authority by decree, but the emergence of natural leaders and
00:11:31.700 masters of their craft. This is what nobility means in the classical sense. To be noble is something to
00:11:39.260 aspire toward, not something to sneer at. To be noble is the pursuit of excellence and greatness.
00:11:45.680 It is my hope that the new West will both be built and populated by these kinds of people.
00:11:55.220 We're going to have a high price to pay.
00:11:57.620 He goes into the difference between crypto and Bitcoin. Have you ever thought of this, Stu?
00:12:15.180 That those are very, very different?
00:12:17.340 Sure. Yeah. I mean, every project is different in scope, and I was reading some of this earlier
00:12:25.680 today. It seems like one of the big criticisms he has is the centralization aspect of many of the
00:12:31.460 other coins, which is a problem. I don't think that they're all worthless, but that is one of the
00:12:38.660 strengths of Bitcoin. It was why it was the first one. It's why it's a big one.
00:12:43.760 I think those fundamentals much better than any of the others.
00:12:47.100 So he talks about Bitcoin. He says, here are the reasons Bitcoin came up in the first place.
00:12:53.260 It was the removal of rulers and issuers of money, the removal of monetary inflation,
00:13:01.680 the demonopolization of money forever, the placement of money into the realm of physical and natural laws,
00:13:10.520 and the fusion of energy, universal physical currency, to money in the metaphysical sense.
00:13:17.440 The magnitude of this achievement is staggering, and the inability for people to comprehend it is both
00:13:25.020 mind-numbingly frustrating, but also expected, considering the nihilistic pets humans have become.
00:13:33.080 Perhaps the words on this page jolt you, or perhaps I'm just yelling at the clouds.
00:13:37.480 I don't know. But I'll try my best to remind you that fiat is the enemy, in every sense of the word,
00:13:44.940 and in every incarnation. Any kind of coin other than Bitcoin is just replicating the fiat we already
00:13:53.560 have, but on a more digital standard. You don't want to give these people, no different than Bill Gates
00:14:01.540 or Mark Zuckerberg, ultimate power over you. Do you? And he talks about how crypto
00:14:09.000 has just become outright Ponzi schemes or machines used by the financial tech world and by governments.
00:14:22.680 And he specifically goes into Ethereum. And I didn't know this about Ethereum. Ethereum apparently
00:14:30.600 is, let me see if I can find it. Ethereum is the Ethereum Foundation. Did you know that?
00:14:39.720 Yeah. He writes, it's infused with World Economic Forum participants, but Ethereum co-founder
00:14:46.780 owns Infura, which practically the entire Ethereum network runs on. He's part of the old guard,
00:14:56.400 worked at Goldman Sachs, I believe in bed with agencies attempting to reduce the world into
00:15:01.300 a spreadsheet and humans into numbers to populate it, WEF, BlackRock, et cetera.
00:15:07.880 Look, Ethereum is a totally different project, right? And it's a totally different aim.
00:15:11.280 Um, but still, you know, look, uh, the point I think is, is most pure here in the difference
00:15:18.200 between Bitcoin and these centralized Fed coins where, you know, this is where you're taking
00:15:24.780 the positives of Bitcoin and implementing it into a system where the central government
00:15:29.400 can monitor every one of your activities. Correct. And that is, I think the biggest danger
00:15:34.000 here. You know, you can obviously be involved in these other crypto projects or not, but it's
00:15:39.540 really more about not just, you know, the, which cryptocurrency you're talking about,
00:15:46.040 right? It's, it's, it's a bigger issue than this. Well, he says, you know, that centralization.
00:15:51.580 Yeah. He's, he's talking about like Cordano is, is, uh, you know, using, uh, yeah. Cardano
00:15:57.300 or Cardano. Yeah. Cardano. I mean, we're, we're super deep here. I think. No, I know that. I know
00:16:03.060 that. But they're saying that it's blockchain for social good. Cause that explains what happened
00:16:08.840 at the world economic forum. They were talking about blockchain and a lot of these things have
00:16:14.360 their founders and, uh, you know, the people on their board who are WEF members. And they're
00:16:20.700 talking about, this is going to be, you know, um, you know, socially good for everybody that,
00:16:26.440 that is leftist code language, you know, socially good. What, how are you going to make sure that
00:16:33.800 things are balanced? That's the one thing that Bitcoin does not do. It doesn't balance and give
00:16:40.320 promise you equity. It promises that you can take your labor, turn it into money, put it in Bitcoin
00:16:48.880 and it remains safe for you. Yeah. Relatively. It's, it's not, there's no, there's no overseer,
00:16:59.520 right? That's the, that's the, the promise of it. And, you know, I will say there's a really
00:17:04.380 good argument that a lot of the cryptocurrency stuff has gone away from that. You know, they've
00:17:09.540 tried to solve some of the, you know, perceived problems with, with no centralization by putting
00:17:17.040 a few people who aren't the government in a position of centralization, which is not,
00:17:21.900 it's not any good. That's what we did with the fed. It's not, it's not great. Right.
00:17:25.600 You are setting up a new federal reserve. But like you, as you see, you know, we've been talking
00:17:32.300 about this type of stuff for a while. When you talk about content being removed from the internet
00:17:36.940 and social media accounts going down, you know, banned and speech being not only banned, but banned
00:17:45.180 in advance, you know, people censoring their speech before they even say these things.
00:17:49.460 Uh, that's the promise of this type of technology where it's so far outside. You know, we keep
00:17:57.460 talking about, uh, you know, how are we going to change the law so that YouTube is nicer to us?
00:18:03.800 Like, I mean, I'm not saying there's nothing to do on those roads, but like those are, that's,
00:18:08.240 those are not solutions to these problems. Like YouTube is never going to do what you want it
00:18:12.940 to do. Twitter is never, even with Elon Musk in there, you're just going to start disliking Elon
00:18:17.040 Musk more if he takes this thing over because they're never going to do, they're never going
00:18:20.720 to do this right. But that is the reason why Bitcoin is so good is it sets the rules up and
00:18:28.020 the rules can't be changed. Right. The rules are the rules just exist. Yeah. Nobody, nobody can
00:18:32.760 change those rules. I would have no problem. That's what the internet used to be. I'd have
00:18:38.720 no problem if you had YouTube, Facebook, whatever, and the rules were the rules and you don't change
00:18:46.280 them along the way to, for your own, you know, board members or whoever you just, that's it.
00:18:53.860 Um, and everything was fair. You don't like that one. Good. Go create another one. And they didn't
00:18:59.560 have the ability to stop you from creating another one. That's the world that America always was.
00:19:07.640 America was based on that idea. The streets were lined with gold, not literally. They were lined with
00:19:14.720 gold because if you want to build something, this was the place where you could build it.
00:19:21.180 And remember Disneyland was built in under a year, about seven months. You wouldn't be able to get an
00:19:30.120 environmental study for Disneyland today. Um, that's who we used to, that's who we were in 1955.
00:19:36.980 So are we going to be free or are we going to be under somebody's thumb? That is the main choice
00:19:43.860 that we all have to make. Nick wrote in about his experience with relief factory. He said,
00:19:49.000 I got relief factor started about two weeks ago and I noticed a big difference. My knees don't hurt
00:19:53.500 anymore. I sleep better and all my other aches and pains don't seem nearly as noticeable anymore.
00:19:58.800 I'll continue to take relief factor. It makes a huge difference in how I feel.
00:20:02.720 If you're living with pain, may I recommend that you give relief factor a try, just like Nick,
00:20:09.520 you could get your life back. It's not a drug. It was developed by doctors and has four key
00:20:14.560 ingredients that work with your body to fight inflammation. And if you try the three week trial
00:20:19.660 pack, about 70% of the people who try it and take it as directed, go on to order more month after
00:20:24.560 month. It works for about 70% of the people relief factor.com call 800 four relief 800, the number
00:20:32.240 four relief relief. Get the 1995 three week quick start developed for you. Relief factor.com 800,
00:20:39.080 the number four relief relief factor. Feel the difference. 10 seconds station ID.
00:20:44.040 If you're a parent tonight's show on blaze TV at nine, the Glenn Beck Wednesday night special is
00:20:59.920 mandatory. If you, uh, if you have kids, you really cannot afford to miss it. We're in a culture war
00:21:07.000 and there is no other option, but staying in and fighting it and refusing to surrender. Our children
00:21:15.200 literally are at stake. If you're a concerned parent, you've been fighting back against CRT and the new
00:21:23.220 comprehensive sexuality education. You've been doing a great job, but we are, we're only fighting
00:21:30.640 a fraction of what is going on. There's a new system that is being pushed through the schools
00:21:35.760 all over the country and it's receiving federal funds in mass. And, uh, the program has roots that
00:21:44.100 go all the way to the CDC and its collaborators are planned parenthood. They coordinate with each
00:21:51.820 other on school curriculum. I'll show you the proof tonight. The people pushing this on our children
00:21:57.700 want to turn teachers into an evil hybrid of sociologists and psychiatrists. And this is their
00:22:05.260 stated goal for the program. They say it quote through which all young people and adults acquire
00:22:11.880 and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions,
00:22:17.940 and achieve personal and collective goals to feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain
00:22:24.480 supportive relationships and make responsible and caring decisions. Now it's made to sound benign,
00:22:32.820 but, uh, it's not. We'll show you tonight, 9 p.m. Do not miss it.
00:22:42.280 The Glenn back program.

00:24:13.620 The Family Sex Show. A sex education stage production aimed at children as young as five
00:24:34.640 that features non-sexual nudity has now been canceled after unprecedented threats launched
00:24:44.220 at the company putting on the show. This is in England. What are we supposed to do with
00:24:47.740 our tickets or do you get refunds or? Well, I don't know. You'll have to call the box office.
00:24:51.860 The show features non-sexual nudity and explores topics such as consent, pleasure,
00:24:58.420 queerness, and gender. Um, in response, uh, more than 38,000 people signed a petition calling for
00:25:07.660 the cancellation of the show, which was set for May performances at Bristol's tobacco factory.
00:25:13.760 BBC, um, news reported in a follow-up story, the petition called the Family Sex Show profoundly
00:25:21.040 irresponsible and wholly inappropriate. You think? Yeah. The show's creators say it's regrettable
00:25:30.620 that violent and illegal threats and abuse directed to the company and venues by a small group of
00:25:35.140 people with extremist views have prevented families from opting to attend to something that was
00:25:40.360 transparent, consensual, and legal. You know, okay, that's good. That's really good. I love that.
00:25:48.360 This is the response of everybody. You know, I mean, we saw this with Taylor Lorenz over the past
00:25:53.020 couple of days. Uh, you know, you have to say that you've been harassed. You have to say no one
00:25:58.960 cares when a conservative is harassed online. No one cares when their life is threatened. Do you know
00:26:04.440 how many millions of dollars I personally have spent on safety for my family and over the years,
00:26:12.640 over 20 years? It's, it's insanity when you, people just don't understand if you were in the public eye
00:26:22.340 and now you don't, you know, the problem is you don't have the resources. It's insanity for my family,
00:26:30.240 but I really feel horrible for people who are just posting things. They're just regular parents.
00:26:36.280 They went to a PTA meeting and now they're getting death threats. They don't have the money
00:26:40.620 to have Gavin DeBecker and associates go and protect them. They don't have that. This is
00:26:48.440 a horrible trend and it is all Saul Alinsky. And it's one of the reasons why what we saw with the
00:26:57.280 Washington Post over the past couple of days is so dangerous. Yeah. You know, you go out and you give
00:27:01.820 out the home address of a person who's controversial online, but anonymous and you direct obviously
00:27:10.780 everyone to, to, you know, who God only knows what, I mean, harass the, you know, the person.
00:27:16.860 What, what, what are you suggesting by giving somebody's home address out? Yeah. I mean,
00:27:21.720 you're going to knock on the door and have a reasonable conversation with them and they denied
00:27:25.320 it. And that's unreasonable. They denied it, even though they linked to the real estate agent
00:27:28.720 or the license that has the address on it. I know. But again, like, you know, now she has had
00:27:35.240 to move to an undisclosed location and again, does not have Gavin DeBecker and associates to protect
00:27:41.860 her. We'll talk, we'll talk about this coming up next hour. Um, but this is the way that, uh, of the
00:27:48.580 world that now it is hate speech to call a boy, a boy, a man, a man, a woman, a woman. That's now hate
00:27:55.960 speech. This is going way too far tonight. I'm going to show you in the, their own curriculum.
00:28:05.180 It is, it's crazy. They are instructing the, and this is government funded instructing the teachers
00:28:15.300 how to instruct their students on identity and equity. Um, I'm going to break, break it all down
00:28:23.040 for you tonight. The ways that the ways they are really, truly brainwashing our kids. Some of the
00:28:28.380 little tricks include exercises that mentioned quote ceremonies and rituals. This is from their
00:28:38.420 curriculum, their words, not mine in your school right now. We'll show you tonight at 9 PM. Also,
00:28:48.320 there's a new Thor love and thunder and the, uh, trailer looks as though Disney Marvel is making
00:28:58.680 Thor a gay superhero. So in completely unrelated news, uh, Florida governor, Ron DeSantis announced
00:29:10.800 yesterday that the state legislature is coming back for a special session to do a couple of things.
00:29:17.560 one of which is to get rid of any special district enacted before 1968, gee, what's before 19, Oh,
00:29:28.440 1965 when Walt Disney got all of those special privileges. So he is serious. He says they, um,
00:29:37.100 this week's session will include the termination of legacy special districts and the removal of
00:29:44.120 exemptions from big tech accountability. You can't sue, uh, you can't sue, uh, you know, companies like,
00:29:52.180 let's say, I don't know, ABC, ESPN, or any of these companies that might put something out there and
00:30:01.600 you're like, wait a minute. Now that's, I'm sure completely unrelated to the 12 lobbyists that
00:30:09.380 practically live in the laps of, uh, Florida, uh, Florida, the Florida's legislature. Um, but they're
00:30:16.920 repealing that and the, uh, special exemptions for Disney in 1965. You would think that Disney is just
00:30:25.720 going to pull out all the stops and get those 12, you know, lobbyists just to promise all kinds of
00:30:32.540 things. But can they, because usually politicians, when you promise them, look, we'll fund your next
00:30:39.500 election campaign. That's usually what gets them. Um, I think Disney just said that they wouldn't fund
00:30:47.160 any elections and any politicians in Florida. So what's their leverage?
00:30:55.280 What's their leverage? And I think this is, I am a huge Disney fan. I'm a huge Walt Disney fan
00:31:03.340 and Walt would be sickened by his company today. Um, and you know, I know his what granddaughter,
00:31:12.960 a great duck granddaughter came out and said he would love the transgender. No, he wouldn't. No,
00:31:18.820 he wouldn't. No, he wouldn't. You should probably read a little bit more about your,
00:31:26.180 your great grandfather. I'm, I'm just saying he would love the transgender. What movement?
00:31:31.280 Okay. You know, everything that's going on that, you know, the Disney is pushing right now.
00:31:36.480 Cause wouldn't he have been able to theoretically do that when he ran the company? I mean,
00:31:41.360 if he loved it, he could have, well, he was probably a closet crossdresser because people
00:31:46.020 were so bigoted and hateful back then, you know, so who knows, who knows, but this is good news
00:31:54.680 because we have got to go on the offense. Yeah. I mean, I think it's going on the offense in a
00:32:01.920 smart way is, is really, uh, you know, an important thing. DeSantis has done a good job,
00:32:07.300 generally speaking, trying to find that line too, because you can be on the offense and also an
00:32:12.900 idiot. Yeah. That is, we've seen people do this. And I think DeSantis has figured out a pretty good
00:32:18.760 way of walking in that line that reinforces, you know, the conservative prince principles that he
00:32:25.800 cares about, that we care about. It's, this is just, um, this is just a return to sanity. You know,
00:32:35.420 1965, I understand why Florida did that. Should they have done that? Probably not,
00:32:40.120 but I understand why they did that. You got to stop doing things like this. You know,
00:32:46.120 we have to have an even playing ground for everyone. By the way, taking these special
00:32:52.240 exemptions away from Disney means that they now have county inspectors coming in that have to look
00:33:00.680 at all of their plans when they want to build anything, anything. And that's going to be tough
00:33:09.640 for them. And it has been a huge advantage for this corporation. I mean, you've been to Orlando,
00:33:16.480 if you've ever been in this area, you know, it's not just Disney world. There's parks all over the
00:33:21.900 place and all of them have to play by the rules. Like all of their competitors that you go to visit
00:33:27.260 have to play by these rules that Disney gets exempt from. And, you know, look unfair business
00:33:34.040 practices. It's absolutely unfair. I am honestly fine with a movement toward what Disney has where
00:33:42.760 for everybody though, not just for one chosen company. And, you know, I think people should
00:33:47.580 be able to do a lot more and be a lot more free and have to deal with a lot fewer of these restrictions.
00:33:51.920 I tell you, I am so, I am becoming so radical in my thinking. Um, and really it's not radical.
00:34:02.140 It's just radical to the progressive era. Um, but I don't know why we pay pop property tax. I really
00:34:09.140 don't. It's my property. I paid for it. And how is it that I could lose my property that I've paid for
00:34:16.720 if I can't make the property tax? What are you talking about? Isn't that what Robin hood was
00:34:22.660 trying to stop? Isn't it? Wasn't that why we moved over here because the Lords and the ladies could
00:34:29.660 just take your property. You have to pay a high tax. I purchased that already. What am I going to pay
00:34:35.640 pay property tax on my car to every single, Ooh, I guess I do in some degree. Yeah, you're right.
00:34:45.440 That should all be gone. All gone. I don't need another cause right now, but yes,
00:34:50.600 I'm with you. Get rid of it all. I'm telling you the first presidential nominee that says,
00:34:57.180 I'm going to abolish the, um, uh, board of education or the department of education. I'm
00:35:05.760 going to abolish it and see this guy over here. He hates the department of education. He hates it
00:35:15.200 with, uh, what does Pat say with all the passion of a thousand white hot sons. He hates it. I'm going
00:35:23.180 to make him, uh, the head of the department of education. And his first job is to say,
00:35:28.640 Hey, uh, last one out. Don't forget, turn off the lights.
00:35:32.420 I, I want action from these people. Bold action. Yeah. We were talking about this on tax day,
00:35:41.400 which is just, you know, an absolute cluster. And by the way, I'm still, I still haven't filed my
00:35:48.220 extension. I couldn't get it done. There's too many things. It took too long. Well, I mean, I'm
00:35:54.140 going to get, they're going to penalize me for it when there's nothing I can do about it. Now I've
00:35:57.400 already passed the date, but point being here is that, you know, if we were to take,
00:36:03.340 we're supposed to bring in revenue wise, $4.2 trillion this year, $4.2 trillion. This is not
00:36:09.120 a revenue problem that we have. It is a spending problem. It's the biggest revenue we've ever had.
00:36:14.560 We're supposed to spend something like 6.8 trillion when we're bringing in 4.2 trillion,
00:36:19.820 which I don't know if anyone notices the gap between those two numbers, but it's relatively large.
00:36:23.680 In fact, it's larger than every dime we bring in from the income tax. If we doubled what we brought
00:36:33.100 in on the income tax, we still wouldn't break even in this country. And the other way of looking at
00:36:38.380 this is we brought in $4.2 trillion, or we're supposed to this year. If you got rid of the
00:36:42.960 income tax completely, brought it to $0, all of us paid nothing. We would still be bringing in the
00:36:50.080 same amount of money as the beginning of the Barack Obama administration. Not going back to
00:36:56.420 Reagan or Carter or Nixon, Barack Obama, the guy who was just president like pretty recently.
00:37:04.460 If you got rid of the entire income tax, we just have to go back to the revenue point we were at
00:37:11.640 in 2000. I think it's 2010 or 11. The way this is growing, it's growing so far out of control so
00:37:19.680 quickly that we really could. Could we deal with the spending habits of the so, so virtuous when it
00:37:29.240 comes to a small government, Barack Obama? Do you think we could handle that? I feel like we could.
00:37:35.080 I don't know. I mean, we haven't fixed health care yet. Yeah. So we have to fix Obamacare to be able
00:37:42.500 to get that. And that's going to cost us. Well, I'll check with the CBO. I'm sure they have the
00:37:47.380 accurate number. Patriot Mobile, not too many companies out there that I buy from, which I can
00:37:55.560 honestly say I am really proud to do business with. I believe in all of the companies that are on this
00:38:03.900 program, I use their products, I like their products, or they don't come on the show.
00:38:09.640 Patriot Mobile is in a class all by itself because it is truly developing an alternative economy,
00:38:18.300 a parallel economy. You don't have to be with these big tech companies and these big cell service
00:38:25.040 companies. They are using your money to do evil. Verizon supports Planned Parenthood. Do you want
00:38:35.520 any of your money going to Planned Parenthood? Patriot Mobile has developed a separate system.
00:38:42.780 They're on the same tower, so you get the same coverage. Then they provide the same great service.
00:38:48.360 They have better, I think, customer service and lower prices. You're going to save money.
00:38:54.940 And they're supporting you. We've got to support these companies that are actually,
00:39:01.680 they're putting skin in the game, and they are actually supporting us. It's PatriotMobile.com

00:39:17.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:39:20.040 Well, Chris Brady, who works for the program, wrote to me today, what do hippies and Hitler and 420
00:39:44.800 have to do with each other? 420 is April 20th. That's Hitler's birthday. Hippies selected 420 as a
00:39:52.760 day of celebration. You know, maybe hippies are, maybe they're a little darker hearted. I mean,
00:40:01.340 hippies love the VW bug. Okay. Designed by the Fuhrer. Hippies love socialism. Won't shut up about it.
00:40:09.720 Guess who else was a socialist? Hitler. Vegetarianism. Hippies love it. Another area where
00:40:17.060 hippies followed Hitler's lead. Environmentalism. Hippies love hugging trees. Guess where that came
00:40:24.620 from? The Nazis' quest for wholeness. They were environmentalists. Big environmentalists. Nut jobs.
00:40:31.660 Organic farming. Stupid hippies love organic anything. Guess who started that scam? The Nazis.
00:40:38.440 The occult? The occult? Hippies love the occult. They can't get enough of it. Who shared the same
00:40:43.980 feeling? Hitler. Alternative medicine? Hippies hate modern medicine because big pharma is bad.
00:40:51.680 Well, guess who they got that from? Yeah. Hitler. Uh-huh. But he's like the modern hippies that have put
00:40:59.220 on a suit. He really pushed, uh, for, you know, uh, uh, alternative medicine, but he also at the same
00:41:07.320 time embraced big pharma. Uh, who's doing that now? Hippies. I'm just saying, I'm just saying hippies
00:41:18.980 and Hitler. Notice they both start with an H and have an I as the next letter. Wow. Yeah.
00:41:28.280 This is the Glenn Beck program. Home is where you live and it's a lot more than that as well. It's
00:41:34.480 an investment tool, especially these days. Right now, home values are up almost 20% and that's a big
00:41:40.340 deal because it means you're able to access that equity as cash at incredibly low interest rates.
00:41:47.700 It's like four and what? Four and three quarters percent right now. That cash, you can pay off
00:41:53.520 higher interest debts or fund home rent renovations, building up on the equity that will return over
00:42:00.020 time, or you can save it up. Whatever you need, it's your money. If this sounds like something that

00:43:34.380 Stand up!
00:43:35.500 Hey, do you remember when our benevolent leader, Joe Biden,
00:43:42.460 think back to a time before he was taking orders from the Easter Bunny?
00:43:46.200 Way back.
00:43:48.400 Remember when he said he was going to tap our oil reserves, our strategic oil reserves,
00:43:53.360 so it would bring the price down at the pump for average Americans?
00:43:59.360 Yeah, apparently that's not entirely true.
00:44:02.500 He also used those 180 billion barrels of oil or million barrels of oil
00:44:10.220 for something else.
00:44:15.200 We're sending oil from our strategic oil reserve now over to help Europe.
00:44:23.960 I don't remember him saying that, do you?
00:44:27.460 What is happening?
00:44:30.300 We'll explain in 60 seconds.
00:44:32.240 Kay wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.
00:44:40.900 She said,
00:44:41.200 I used to get up every morning with pain in my leg so bad it felt like I was going to explode.
00:44:45.760 From the very first day I started taking Relief Factor, I could tell the difference.
00:44:49.880 I've been taking Tylenol three or four times a day.
00:44:52.900 I hardly ever take it at all anymore.
00:44:55.380 I am so happy I gave Relief Factor a try.
00:44:59.540 If you're living with pain, may I recommend you do what Kay did?
00:45:03.740 Give Relief Factor a try.

00:45:34.260 Feel the difference.
00:45:35.360 All right, before I get into the strategic oil reserve, let me just give you something
00:45:41.140 that Reuters reported last night.
00:45:44.680 The EU is set to declare a full embargo on Russian oil after this week's French election.
00:45:53.160 Now, that election is happening, I believe, this weekend, is it not?
00:45:57.500 And it's between Macron and Le Pen.
00:46:01.480 It is close.
00:46:03.540 I mean, remember last time, do you happen to know those numbers the last time Macron
00:46:08.040 ran against Le Pen?
00:46:09.100 Wasn't it like 80-20 or something?
00:46:10.520 It was something like, I want to say it was 70-30, 80-20, something in that general vicinity.
00:46:14.500 Once they, because they have a big election, top two go to a runoff.
00:46:17.560 Correct.
00:46:17.660 In that runoff, it adds up to 100% because there's only two candidates and everyone has
00:46:23.080 to vote, you know, pick somebody.
00:46:25.200 So, it was a blowout, though.
00:46:26.640 It was not close.
00:46:27.520 It was like, I can't believe she got into the runoff was the reaction to it.
00:46:31.180 And then the runoff was not close.
00:46:32.740 That's not the case this time.
00:46:34.520 Yeah, it's 45-55, Macron.
00:46:37.980 And once again, the elites are deciding an election.
00:46:42.300 You know, in World War I, right before we went into World War I, Wilson said, as his campaign
00:46:49.240 slogan, I'm not going to get you into war.
00:46:50.940 Within just a few weeks after he was in office for his second term, after the election, we
00:46:58.540 were at war.
00:46:59.380 He sent the troops to war.
00:47:01.840 The elites always think they know better.
00:47:04.280 And so, they will keep things from you.
00:47:06.460 And that's exactly what the European Union is doing with the French people.
00:47:11.000 They don't want to upset the election because it's so close.
00:47:14.600 And what they're about to do would push it in Le Pen's favor.
00:47:18.700 Remember, they are about to declare a total embargo on Russian oil.
00:47:24.580 They're supposedly, according to Reuters, going to do this next week.
00:47:28.620 This will cause a massive spike in the price of oil.
00:47:36.060 I'll give that to you here in a second.
00:47:38.920 But first, let me ask you, is this really hurting Russia?
00:47:46.040 Because they found other buyers for all of their oil.
00:47:49.800 They have found buyers in China, in Turkey, and India.
00:47:57.660 And these people are saying that if this happens, they'll buy more.
00:48:07.240 So, they have remarkably, according to JP Morgan, the Russian crude exports are actually averaging
00:48:18.500 360,000 barrels above pre-invasion volumes.
00:48:29.980 Huh.
00:48:31.420 Now, they're saying that they're going to cut, Europe will cut all of that.
00:48:36.620 And when they do, according to JP Morgan Chase, the price of Brent crude oil, $185 a barrel.
00:48:46.300 That, because of inflation, is about where the price of oil was, about $145 for how long?
00:48:58.500 In 2007 or 2008.
00:49:01.740 This is what caused the collapse of our economy.
00:49:06.080 It was oil prices.
00:49:07.160 The entire Western world is built on the back of energy prices being no more than $100 a barrel.
00:49:20.080 Every time it's over $100 a barrel, it hurts the economy.
00:49:25.340 And it stops it.
00:49:26.280 If you can get it down to, what did Trump have it down to, like $60 a barrel?
00:49:29.980 Well, when you get it down there, you're starting to hurt Russia.
00:49:35.680 But high prices help Russia, Saudi Arabia, and hurt us, the entire West.
00:49:43.460 At $185 a barrel, I don't even know what gas prices would be, but we're probably all paying
00:49:52.380 $5 plus California.
00:49:55.280 Good luck.
00:49:55.960 How long can the Western world survive that?
00:50:02.160 Now, here's what's interesting.
00:50:04.720 India and China and Turkey have already said they would take this oil.
00:50:12.600 Europe is not thinking about just pulling all of the oil and stopping at cold Turkey.
00:50:20.420 They are thinking about maybe doing it more slowly over a period of months.
00:50:28.220 Well, that gives Russia time to make all the deals.
00:50:32.980 Who wins in that scenario?
00:50:35.580 You don't have oil.
00:50:37.580 They have buyers.
00:50:40.940 What is that?
00:50:42.380 By the way, the Russian break-even for oil is less than $10 a barrel.
00:50:53.380 So, they're talking also about price caps.
00:50:57.420 We'll only pay $20, but you're still giving them $10 on every barrel.
00:51:02.340 I mean, I don't understand.
00:51:04.440 You're just hurting yourself with this.
00:51:07.940 And, you know, I'm beginning to wonder.
00:51:14.920 You remember Biden had the emergency strategic oil reserve, petroleum reserve.
00:51:20.800 And he said he was going to release 180 million barrels of oil.
00:51:25.220 180 million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve.
00:51:29.840 That's 1 million barrels a day for 180 days.
00:51:36.980 And it would end, shockingly, just right after the midterm elections.
00:51:43.160 Okay?
00:51:44.340 So, he was going to do that.
00:51:45.840 And remember what he said?
00:51:46.940 I'm going to do this because I want to help the average person at the gas pump.
00:51:52.120 Well, somehow or another, the definition of an emergency in helping you now includes
00:51:58.560 making a profit at the expense of Americans' consumers
00:52:02.960 because sooner or later, a real emergency will hit and we will need the fuel.
00:52:11.020 According to Matt Smith, oil analyst and commodity data firm Kepler,
00:52:16.400 we are now exporting our strategic oil reserve crude and we've been doing it since last November.
00:52:26.740 So, when Biden said we're going to release some and it's going to help the average person,
00:52:33.340 no, that's not true.
00:52:34.880 Unless you consider the citizens of Europe the citizens of the United States.
00:52:42.120 Why didn't we know this?
00:52:47.280 Why is he doing this?
00:52:49.800 This is really not going to help.
00:52:52.380 I mean, unless he's buying the support from Europe.
00:52:57.080 Why would we buy the support from Europe?
00:53:00.340 Support for what?
00:53:02.940 Two years ago today, what were oil prices?
00:53:07.240 I don't know.
00:53:08.300 Today, it's a hundred and, what is it, a hundred and four?
00:53:13.140 A hundred and four dollars?
00:53:14.120 Yeah.
00:53:14.940 Two years ago today, oil prices, $16.94.
00:53:19.560 $16.
00:53:21.900 An asterisk, of course, here in that that is, we are in the worst part of the pandemic at this point,
00:53:27.320 which is a massive, you know, it was at, that is the lowest it went.
00:53:30.800 But that was two years ago, exactly today.
00:53:33.560 $16.94.
00:53:34.720 It's now over a hundred dollars.
00:53:37.360 And, you know, once we rebounded off that, the real catastrophic drop of the pandemic,
00:53:43.580 it was around $40 after that.
00:53:46.520 And now we're at $104.
00:53:47.720 $40 to $60 is a dream.
00:53:50.020 Yeah, $40 to $60 is where it was throughout 2019, most of 2017.
00:53:55.160 It's a little higher at times in 2018, but had leveled off between $50 and $60 before the pandemic hit.
00:54:01.780 And then, of course, all the way down to $16.
00:54:04.980 That's amazing.
00:54:05.900 I wish I would have bought oil back then.
00:54:08.980 So, Stu, can you tell me what exactly do you think is happening with the Strategic Oil Reserve being released,
00:54:17.940 some of it at least, to Europe?
00:54:20.560 That's not for Europe.
00:54:22.420 That's for us.
00:54:23.340 And that is actually not for price relief.
00:54:25.800 That is to run our ships, our Navy, our Air Force.
00:54:30.860 What it's supposed to be, certainly.
00:54:32.040 Exactly right.
00:54:32.940 Okay.
00:54:33.500 And then we seem to be going closer and closer.
00:54:36.340 Remember, Joe Biden said, I don't want to do anything that's going to, you know,
00:54:40.660 look like we're supporting Ukraine in any military fashion.
00:54:46.460 We're not going to replace those planes for Poland if they do that.
00:54:50.960 We're not going to be involved in that at all, okay?
00:54:53.540 Because that would be akin to an act of war.
00:54:56.700 Right.
00:54:56.900 He was very clear on that, wasn't he?
00:54:58.800 Or was it just me?
00:54:59.460 It seemed like it.
00:54:59.860 No, it seemed like it.
00:55:01.640 Yesterday, NBC News cited five U.S. officials that said a new package, a new arms package,
00:55:12.060 which will bring our military aid to $3 billion, is going to be announced.
00:55:20.600 Listen to this.
00:55:21.340 We are now selling them howitzers, anti-aircraft systems, anti-ship missiles, armed drones,
00:55:29.500 armored trucks, personnel carriers, and even tanks.
00:55:33.980 Now, that sounds to me as bad, if not worse, than some old planes from the 1960s that we weren't even going to do.
00:55:53.280 Why are we doing this?
00:55:54.840 By the way, Russia sent a warning to us that if we start delivering these, quote,
00:56:01.960 most sensitive weapon systems to Ukraine, it will bring unpredictable consequences.
00:56:08.100 I don't think they're unpredictable.
00:56:11.000 You keep using that word.
00:56:12.480 I do not think it means what you think it means.
00:56:14.320 I don't think it's unpredictable.
00:56:15.620 Are we shooting ourselves in the foot by giving away our oil reserves, even selling our oil reserves,
00:56:27.840 just touching our oil reserves at this point, while we're antagonizing the bigger bully
00:56:35.540 and maybe the biggest bully on the block?
00:56:38.560 With over 6,000 nuclear weapons?
00:56:40.980 Yeah, that seems like a problem to me.
00:56:42.960 Now, if you're going, you know, the back sort of, the back story as far as the reporting goes
00:56:51.760 seems to indicate basically we're trying to say to Europe, we need to get, you guys need to stop buying
00:56:57.880 Russian fossil fuels.
00:57:00.260 And we are, they say, well, what are we going to use?
00:57:04.600 And this is part of our answer, right?
00:57:07.120 Well, we'll send you some from our strategic oil reserves to help, you know, lower the burden
00:57:13.500 as you cut this off.
00:57:15.220 We just open up our system, you know.
00:57:19.320 Yeah, it's going to take us six months, but we're already six months into this.
00:57:23.920 We're going to open up our systems again.
00:57:25.780 We're going to start pumping it like we were, and we'll sell it to you for $60 a barrel.
00:57:30.300 And we're going to leave our strategic oil reserve alone.
00:57:34.580 I mean, it's really getting simple.
00:57:37.700 You know, it's fascinating to watch this because you mentioned before, you're like, wasn't he
00:57:40.680 like really clear about this?
00:57:42.280 And he was really clear when he said, you know, that we were not going to do anything that
00:57:48.440 was going to escalate us into war.
00:57:49.660 But to say that he was clear really about any of this overall is really difficult to say.
00:57:55.280 He's gone back and forth over and over again.
00:57:57.600 Remember, this guy ran a platform saying we're going to get rid of fossil fuels.
00:58:02.400 We're going to eliminate them.
00:58:04.020 We're going to be, you know, net zero.
00:58:06.480 We're all of these things that he said to environmentalists to get their vote.
00:58:10.460 Then he gets in front of the public and people say, hey, you keep saying you're going to get
00:58:15.600 rid of all these fossil fuels.
00:58:17.480 Now we're having an oil price crisis.
00:58:20.240 What's the deal here?
00:58:21.300 Gas prices are going through the roof.
00:58:22.480 It's hurting families.
00:58:23.300 And he says, we haven't done anything.
00:58:25.100 We've done anything to stop production.
00:58:26.400 What are you talking about?
00:58:27.920 Now there is a court ruling that said they have to open up new leases, not their action.
00:58:32.240 The court said you have to open up these new leases.
00:58:36.560 So the environmentalists are mad.
00:58:38.400 And he's saying, again, we're not doing anything.
00:58:41.340 This isn't us.
00:58:43.020 So like they've gone back and forth on this so many times because they're telling the left
00:58:48.340 that they're absolutely attacking fossil fuels.
00:58:51.240 And they are.
00:58:51.740 And then telling the American people we're not doing anything on that front at all.
00:58:55.960 All these oil companies are just, oh, so greedy.
00:58:59.380 And that's the problem here.
00:59:00.880 All right.
00:59:01.220 Just do me a favor and prepare for a bad scenario.
00:59:05.820 Maybe it doesn't come.
00:59:07.140 But so far, it looks like that's what they're going to announce next week.
00:59:12.660 American Financing is our sponsor.

01:00:32.160 10 seconds.
01:00:33.200 Station ID.
01:00:37.720 I told you last hour that we're doing a big special tonight on Blaze TV on what is being
01:00:50.220 taught in our children's school.
01:00:52.460 CRT and the new comprehensive sexuality education are small pieces of a much larger pie.
01:00:59.720 This program goes on all the way to the top, and it is spreading all over our country,
01:01:06.320 everywhere in public schools.
01:01:08.860 I want to play a piece of a video being shown to our kids right now.
01:01:14.320 Is it normal to watch porn?
01:01:18.980 Hashtag Ask a Maze!
01:01:23.880 Yes!
01:01:25.020 It's normal!
01:01:26.780 Lots of people watch porn.
01:01:28.840 After all, it's right there, and it's free.
01:01:31.740 And anyway, many people are curious about this sex stuff.
01:01:35.240 Okay, target age for this video.
01:01:40.880 Nine.
01:01:42.920 Nine.
01:01:44.200 Do you know what porn does to a nine-year-old's brain?
01:01:49.160 It was produced by a group called Amaze.
01:01:52.940 They're partnered with another organization called Advocates for Youth.
01:01:57.080 I'm going to show what all of this means.
01:01:59.760 We go in deep tonight to show you what this is all about.
01:02:04.780 I want to show you a little teaser on what they're really after with grooming and brainwashing
01:02:10.460 our kids.
01:02:11.480 Here's a little flyer between Advocates for Youth and Planned Parenthood.
01:02:17.000 Can you put that flyer up?
01:02:18.440 Advocates for Youth, Feminist Majority Foundation, and Planned Parenthood announce youth show-out
01:02:26.280 campaign to engage and mobilize young voters.
01:02:31.300 Our children are being brainwashed by radical leftists.
01:02:36.700 The schools are churning out child activists.
01:02:39.540 These will all be in their own words, and I will show you how our government is helping
01:02:46.200 fund all of this.
01:02:49.020 It's justice-oriented civic engagement.
01:02:52.760 If you're a parent, you cannot afford to miss the show.
01:02:55.940 Tonight at 9 p.m. on Blaze TV.
01:02:59.800 Project Groomer.
01:03:01.480 Exposing the secret plan to brainwash your kids.
01:03:04.740 It is everywhere, and it is breathtaking.
01:03:10.400 We have got to stop this.
01:03:13.240 I'm telling you, Donald Trump, if you're going to run, or whoever is going to run, you stop
01:03:20.560 ESG, and you abolish the Department of Education, and you've made a big dent in the problem.
01:03:30.760 A big dent.
01:03:32.240 Don't abolish the Department of Education.
01:03:38.500 Fire them all.
01:03:40.320 Close it down.
01:03:42.060 Return the control to our local communities, because none of us would be funding any of this.
01:03:51.220 Back in a minute.
01:04:02.240 The word expert now really kind of takes on a bad meaning.
01:04:21.700 You know, I'm an expert.
01:04:23.080 Well, shut up.
01:04:24.020 But when it comes to buying or selling your home, it really does mean something.

01:05:44.800 If you don't use TikTok, good for you.
01:05:51.260 I mean, I mean that sincerely.
01:05:53.660 All hail you.
01:05:55.220 Um, TikTok is a, is a, um, is a Chinese tool.
01:06:03.160 I think just to just dumb us down.
01:06:07.640 Um, but I digress there, there is, um, there isn't, there's not the censorship on TikTok that
01:06:17.240 there is elsewhere and somebody has really done a great job at exposing the craziness.
01:06:27.160 That is the fringe of the liberal part.
01:06:30.520 I can't say that, you know, what was fringe we're now living.
01:06:34.340 So I don't know what fringe is in the, in the, on the left anymore.
01:06:39.840 I have no idea what fringe is.
01:06:42.520 Um, but the creator has now come under attack and I want to play just a little bit of something
01:06:49.680 she said, uh, yesterday as she is being doxxed and exposed and her address is given out online.
01:06:57.600 Here's what she said.
01:06:59.000 How has this affected your life?
01:07:00.620 This Jeff Bezos piece?
01:07:02.820 Well, it's the past two days have been very chaotic and overwhelming.
01:07:07.900 Um, I have to make some travel plans, you know, really fast, but I was not planning on earlier.
01:07:14.340 So there was a little bit of coordination that had to happen.
01:07:18.020 Um, and I'm now in a location where I don't think anyone would find me.
01:07:23.180 Um, not in any of the locations that Taylor Varen leaked or that anyone can find.
01:07:29.180 Um, but I, it's, it's been a little bit tough, but I'm not going to let this get me down.
01:07:36.020 So her friends and people who know her say she's not going to stop.
01:07:41.380 This is not going to, it will frighten her.
01:07:44.460 It will scare her, um, cause they're coming after her and these people will be violent.
01:07:50.480 You know, they always say the right is so violent.
01:07:53.040 Show it to us.
01:07:54.420 Show it to us.
01:07:56.820 The left, I could show you boatloads of evidence that you're violent.
01:08:03.280 So all she's doing on this tick tock, it's the libs of tick tock.
01:08:08.740 All she does is take things that are on tick tock.
01:08:13.280 She doesn't edit them out of context or anything else.
01:08:16.520 She just takes the post and she reposts it in one place.
01:08:21.840 And now conservatives go to libs of tick tock and they see what they're saying.
01:08:26.600 Let me give you two of the videos she posted.
01:08:29.240 Here's video.
01:08:29.980 Number one.
01:08:31.020 This is a tool I use to teach students about gender and sexuality.
01:08:33.880 First up, we have sex assigned at birth.
01:08:35.560 This is what the doctor says you are.
01:08:36.840 When you come out of the womb, it should be based on chromosomes, hormones, and genitals.
01:08:41.020 But most of the time doctors just look at genitals.
01:08:43.320 Next up, we have gender identity, which is totally different from sex assigned at birth.
01:08:47.160 This is what you feel you are inside and no one can see this from the outside.
01:08:51.820 There are three different sliders that you can move up and down to describe your gender identity.
01:08:56.120 Then we have gender expression, which is how you show your gender to the world.
01:09:00.040 It's usually based in a sort of binary system, which isn't perfect.
01:09:02.820 Again, you can slide these up and down to show the different gendered ways you express yourself.
01:09:07.360 Then we jump down to attraction.
01:09:09.340 We have physical attraction and emotional attraction.
01:09:12.280 These are different.
01:09:14.200 Again, there are sliders that a person can use to best describe their sexuality.
01:09:17.980 All right.
01:09:18.700 So this is done with a big cartoon unicorn and this is for our kids.
01:09:23.440 That's a teacher explaining, showing the curriculum what's happening.
01:09:27.880 Instead of teaching addition, we are teaching, you know, attraction.
01:09:34.980 Bet the Chinese aren't doing that.
01:09:36.740 Now, this is a first grade classroom.
01:09:42.840 This is a from a teacher in a charter school in Boston.
01:09:50.560 Again, from the libs of tick tock.
01:09:52.960 Listen to this.
01:09:54.060 And something something cool about me, Miss Hammond.
01:09:56.840 All right.
01:09:57.760 All right.
01:09:58.140 So something that's really cool and unique about who I am is that I am transgender.
01:10:02.580 So we touched a little bit about that at the beginning of this week in the book that Miss
01:10:08.080 Hammond read.
01:10:08.800 But I'm going to give you my explanation about what it means to be transgender as well.
01:10:13.780 So when babies are born, the doctor looks at them and they make a guess about whether
01:10:18.000 the baby is a boy or a girl based on what they look like.
01:10:21.820 And most of the time, that guess is 100% correct.
01:10:24.680 There are no issues whatsoever.
01:10:27.500 But sometimes the doctor is wrong.
01:10:30.180 The doctor makes an incorrect guess.
01:10:31.860 When the doctor makes a correct guess, that's when a person is called cisgender.
01:10:36.320 When a doctor's guess is wrong, that's when they are transgender.
01:10:40.060 So I'm a man.
01:10:42.000 But when I was a baby, the doctors told my parents I was a girl.
01:10:46.280 And so my parents gave me a name that girls typically have and bought me clothes that girls
01:10:51.120 typically wear.
01:10:52.740 And until I was 18 years old, everyone thought I was a girl.
01:10:57.480 And this was super, super uncomfortable for me because I knew that wasn't right.
01:11:01.860 I didn't know the doctor's guess.
01:11:06.380 Did you know that?
01:11:08.320 No, I kind of thought they had some information based on science that they were making.
01:11:12.920 Yeah.
01:11:13.320 They were recording.
01:11:14.340 But no, I guess it's just a spin of a wheel.
01:11:16.820 I guess we don't follow the science.
01:11:18.780 No, no.
01:11:19.360 It's just a guess.
01:11:19.920 So the reason why we're bringing this up is this is all this woman does.
01:11:24.000 She's not taking people out of context.
01:11:25.380 She's just playing that on one channel of her channel, libs of TikTok.
01:11:30.720 And many of them are.
01:11:31.480 These are those are two of the more serious examples.
01:11:34.400 A lot of them are funny.
01:11:35.280 I mean, it's just, you know, laughing at the oddities in our world.
01:11:40.120 Right.
01:11:40.340 We all have them.
01:11:41.620 Some people have more than others.
01:11:43.100 But nobody's on candid camera.
01:11:44.640 They posted these.
01:11:45.900 Right.
01:11:46.240 Yes.
01:11:46.460 That's really important.
01:11:47.840 She's not as far as I know.
01:11:49.920 And correct me if I'm wrong on this, Glenn.
01:11:51.280 But she's not going into someone who has their account set as private.
01:11:56.260 No.
01:11:56.660 And lifting their their account.
01:11:59.540 She's just going through and and and being a human algorithm.
01:12:05.080 Yeah.
01:12:05.400 Hey, these are the things I find interesting.
01:12:07.200 Look at what look at what liberals are really saying to each other in this world.
01:12:12.820 And they admit quite a bit when they're bragging to their friends.
01:12:16.320 About how much typically they are owning conservatives.
01:12:20.200 Correct.
01:12:20.380 They're doing this to brag.
01:12:23.480 So here's the thing.
01:12:25.920 Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post.
01:12:28.820 The Washington Post through Taylor Lorenz has doxed the woman that has the libs of of tick tock.
01:12:39.780 Doxed her.
01:12:40.760 She's a regular person.
01:12:42.520 She's only all she's doing is being a human aggregator.
01:12:47.160 That's it.
01:12:48.900 But apparently Taylor Lorenz, who I think is psychotic.
01:12:54.780 She is had a psychotic break because she has been crying on NBC, complaining about threats and online bullying that she claims has targeted her.
01:13:08.220 Um, and she said it is so destructive and has destroyed my life and made me feel unsafe if there's just one piece of information that comes out about me.
01:13:20.580 Well, she then goes to the Washington Post and exposes the woman behind libs of tick tock address and everything.
01:13:31.960 Now, they're saying they didn't do that.
01:13:34.140 But yes, they did.
01:13:35.220 They posted a real estate license with the woman's address on it.
01:13:39.260 Oh, I didn't see the address bull crap.
01:13:42.320 You didn't see the address.
01:13:43.560 And the only reason why this is happening is because libs of tick tock is successful.
01:13:52.300 People actually watch it and laugh.
01:13:56.740 And that cannot be tolerated in an authoritarian state.
01:14:02.260 You do not make fun of the authoritarians.
01:14:07.060 You don't.
01:14:09.560 That's the only reason why this is happening.
01:14:12.120 This is intimidation, period.
01:14:18.800 They wanted us to extract consequence.
01:14:22.220 They wanted pain.
01:14:23.160 They wanted a price.
01:14:24.180 If you're going to make our movement look bad, then you're going to pay personally in fear, in harm to your career, in intimidation, in whatever form it is.
01:14:42.260 You will have to pay a price for being successful against liberals, against progressives, against the far left, against the Great Reset.
01:14:52.540 But they have to extract a price for it.
01:14:55.320 There's no other reason to do this.
01:14:57.260 BS, they didn't know the address was there.
01:14:59.840 In fact, they're not even saying that.
01:15:02.360 They're not saying we missed the address.
01:15:04.000 They're saying they didn't do it at all.
01:15:05.720 They're just memory-holing the entire experience when everyone saw the link to the real estate license with the address on the page.
01:15:13.500 They're just acting as if it didn't occur.
01:15:15.800 That's their plan right now, the Washington Post.
01:15:18.380 And it's completely embarrassing.
01:15:20.920 This is not 1997, where Taylor Lorenz was crying about a piece of information out about her, who is a public figure, a reporter, and everyone knows her name.
01:15:33.980 Now, she's actually trying to justify outing someone who isn't a public figure, who doesn't have their name public.
01:15:42.360 What does that do to her life?
01:15:44.200 She knows exactly what it does.
01:15:45.460 She was just crying and sobbing about it on MSNBC a couple of weeks ago.
01:15:49.180 And to have this disconnect shows real struggles dealing with reality.
01:15:55.720 Oh, a psychotic break.
01:15:57.180 A true psychotic break.
01:15:59.440 She is...
01:16:00.020 I don't know.
01:16:02.100 She is a danger, possibly, to her own self.
01:16:05.620 She is to others.
01:16:06.620 She's now demonstrated that she is not living in reality, and she is a danger to others.
01:16:14.840 That's a reason that, you know, they keep you at the hospital.
01:16:19.180 She said she was dealing with massive PTSD.
01:16:23.260 Yeah.
01:16:23.540 She said she was mentally just exhausted.
01:16:28.140 This is two weeks ago.
01:16:29.360 And she understands the consequences of all this.
01:16:33.600 Then she goes to work with Jeff Bezos, and she does exactly what she said caused her breakdown.
01:16:44.180 That's somebody who needs help.
01:16:46.220 I mean, I don't want to get into the world of diagnosing people and committing people to insane asylums, but she is a danger to others, and she is not making any sense.
01:17:04.740 She is doing what she just said should never be done.
01:17:09.620 And it's a much worse version than what happened to her.
01:17:12.580 I mean, the fact that she's taking someone whose identity is not known and making it known is a really big line, and taking someone who is not a public figure and making them into a public figure is a big difference.
01:17:23.660 Taylor Lorenz, look, of course she's dealt with criticism online.
01:17:27.960 She's an online reporter for all of the major papers in our country, basically.
01:17:33.560 She was at the top two, New York Times and Washington Post, right?
01:17:36.600 She's been in the center of this debate for a while.
01:17:40.560 And, of course, yes, she has received criticism, much of it fair, some of it unfair.
01:17:46.100 I'm sure some of it was terrible.
01:17:47.680 I know that we receive terrible, abusive things said to us all the time.
01:17:52.720 It's part of being a public figure in the United States.
01:17:55.300 It's not a good thing.
01:17:56.400 No one should do that to her.
01:17:59.060 However, what she's talking about here is now she's trying to say, well, this is just what reporters do.
01:18:04.100 So, of course, people who are antagonistic towards her and who are a little more aggressive are going to go to all of her friends and all of her family and do these things, show up at their door.
01:18:15.300 And we've seen some of it already.
01:18:16.620 She's already complaining about some of it happening already.
01:18:18.720 Well, you're the one normalizing this behavior.
01:18:22.160 This is insanity.
01:18:23.280 It should not happen.
01:18:24.220 And, you know, she tweeted yesterday, she said, rather than debate doxing, I hope people can read the story and see the striking escalation of attacks against gay and trans people and the crucial role this account has played in the right wing media ecosystem.
01:18:38.220 Well, look, I read the story.
01:18:40.300 That would have been the debate if you didn't name the person to give out their address.
01:18:44.420 Right.
01:18:44.620 That would have been the debate.
01:18:45.700 People would have been saying, well, is this account highlighting people who are going through difficult times and maybe shouldn't be highlighted?
01:18:52.840 I don't know.
01:18:53.340 You could have that conversation.
01:18:54.460 And you know what's so crazy is I'm not debating that that guy felt, you know, he was a girl and felt like he's now a he or whatever.
01:19:05.140 I wasn't even debating that.
01:19:07.260 What I'm debating on that TikTok video, the last one we played, is you're saying that doctors are guessing.
01:19:15.580 That's the thing.
01:19:16.340 And you're saying that to first graders.
01:19:18.140 Right.
01:19:18.800 That's the controversial part for me.
01:19:22.020 I mean, I'm so past the, oh, he's a dude.
01:19:27.600 He was a girl.
01:19:28.540 Huh?
01:19:29.540 I mean, I don't really care when I'm on TikTok.
01:19:33.920 I don't really care what you say you are.
01:19:37.360 And it's such a strange thing where they separate this when it comes to gender and sex.
01:19:42.040 You know, this is they've been this has been their defense.
01:19:44.400 Right.
01:19:44.700 When you say, wait a minute, we know what sex is.
01:19:46.640 Everyone knows like, whoa, this is a different thing.
01:19:48.620 It's the feeling you have inside.
01:19:50.660 Look, maybe it is the feeling you have inside.
01:19:53.520 But your feelings about what you have inside are completely unimportant to me.
01:19:59.440 I don't care what your feelings are.
01:20:01.260 Your feelings make no difference to society.
01:20:04.360 You can have all the feelings.
01:20:05.780 You can be you can cry at Hallmark movies or not.
01:20:08.680 I don't care what your feelings are.
01:20:10.800 Your feelings might be important to you.
01:20:12.740 They might be important to your family.
01:20:14.000 They might even be important to the first graders families who you are teaching, but they are unimportant to society in general.
01:20:22.780 You can feel like a boy or a girl however you want, whenever you want.
01:20:27.780 But what you are is important to society.
01:20:31.720 What you feel like you are isn't.
01:20:33.960 That's important to you in your personal life.
01:20:36.060 You deal with that all you want.
01:20:37.340 But what is actually important to society and to doctors who need to know whether you might be pregnant or not is what you are.
01:20:46.300 That's the important thing.

01:25:24.740 He has now released a new book, Inflation, what it is, why it's bad, and how to fix it.
01:25:33.560 I am really interested in hearing what he says may be coming our way.
01:25:39.940 The topic, Inflation, with my friend Steve Forbes in 60 seconds.

01:27:00.560 Welcome, Steve Forbes.
01:27:02.080 How are you, sir?
01:27:04.020 Good to be with you.
01:27:05.160 Thank you.
01:27:05.680 So, I'm really interested in hearing your take on what we are headed for with inflation.
01:27:15.860 So, let's start here.
01:27:18.860 Explain what inflation is.
01:27:20.660 Because some people, you know, you're so used to hearing, we're going to have 2% inflation.
01:27:24.720 Oh, that's good.
01:27:26.040 No, it's not.
01:27:26.980 Is it, Steve?
01:27:27.660 Uh, no.
01:27:29.680 Yeah.
01:27:30.060 Just as you don't say, we're going to reduce the size of a gallon of gasoline 2%, and that's good for you.
01:27:35.880 No, it isn't.
01:27:37.020 Keep it the same.
01:27:38.620 So, inflation, this is why we did this reader-friendly book, no jargon, straightforward.
01:27:44.160 There are really two kinds of inflation.
01:27:45.880 One, the non-money kind, non-monetary kind, is when, say, you have bad weather, so commodity prices go up, wheat prices go up, or you get the kind of shutdowns we had with the pandemic, which disrupts supply chains all over the world.
01:28:01.560 We're still suffering from that.
01:28:03.200 That sends prices up.
01:28:04.520 And then you have the money kind, where the government reduces the value, in this case, of the dollar, by creating too many of them.
01:28:13.580 And we know the government has been spending on a spree.
01:28:17.120 How has that been financed?
01:28:18.500 A large part of it is the Federal Reserve buys those bonds.
01:28:22.140 How does it get the money to buy those bonds?
01:28:24.000 It creates that of thin air, the ultimate ATM.
01:28:26.300 Now, unfortunately, Glenn, on the non-monetary inflation, normally, if you just leave the economy alone, those things will heal themselves.
01:28:35.940 We did it after World War II, and we converted from a wartime economy to a peacetime economy.
01:28:41.120 Disruptions, but we did it.
01:28:42.680 But, unfortunately, the Biden administration is putting obstacles in the way, starting with the war on fossil fuels and a lot of other crazy things they've done.
01:28:51.480 77 executive orders, $200 billion of new regulations.
01:28:55.140 So, they're making the problem worse instead of letting the economy heal.
01:28:59.680 And the Federal Reserve, they've been printing a lot of money.
01:29:02.900 They've been using gimmicks to try to keep that money from flooding the economy, but that's going to run out.
01:29:08.280 So, if they don't get their act together, we're in for a rough time.
01:29:12.240 And let me just conclude on this.
01:29:14.760 Unfortunately, and this is where we have a real danger now, the Fed believes the way you cure inflation is not by stopping the printing press
01:29:22.820 and making the dollar whole again, making it stable again.
01:29:26.620 They believe you do it by slowing the economy down, throwing people out of work.
01:29:32.860 And that's what they're up to now.
01:29:34.260 So, Steve, first of all, the idea of inflation, we say it's now at 8.5, that's just because we measure it differently.
01:29:44.980 If you look at shadow stats that measure it the way we did under Reagan, it's at 17.1.
01:29:52.840 Is that fair to do or not?
01:29:55.220 Well, this gets to the whole thing of how do you measure prices?
01:30:01.300 The whole Labor Department has a whole bureau devoted to it.
01:30:05.260 What do you put in the index?
01:30:07.240 And one of the crazy things is when people's buying patterns change, let's say meat prices go up, which they have.
01:30:13.720 So, instead of having a steak, you might go for some cheap hamburger.
01:30:18.480 Well, they don't count that as inflation.
01:30:23.060 They just say the patterns have changed.
01:30:24.800 So, yes, you can manipulate these things six ways to Sunday.
01:30:27.920 But the bottom line is prices are going up.
01:30:30.940 The cost of living is going up.
01:30:33.260 Part of it is the pandemic and the Biden administration making things worse.
01:30:37.580 We can cure that, hopefully, with a new Congress.
01:30:40.520 But the Federal Reserve, they've got to get over this notion that when we do work, when we are trying to be prosperous, they've got to slow us down.
01:30:48.240 It's really bad stuff.
01:30:49.540 I don't know that anybody really understands the Fed balance sheet and what they've done.
01:30:56.160 And the money that they have loaned out, trillions of dollars that they have bailed banks out all around the world.
01:31:04.020 If you can't, you know, they're trying to sell off the stuff they have on their balance sheet.
01:31:09.980 But every time they try that and raise interest rates, the economy stops.
01:31:15.000 And so, not sure they're going to be able to do either of those.
01:31:20.500 How do you pull this money back in to be destroyed?
01:31:24.020 Well, what you do, first of all, which they won't do this part, is you leave interest rates alone.
01:31:33.260 Let the market set interest rates.
01:31:35.520 Controlling interest rates is like rent control, which, as we know, hurts new construction.
01:31:41.220 This is trying to control the price of money and affect the price you pay for renting the money, so to speak.
01:31:47.460 So, they should just leave that alone and let the market do it.
01:31:50.380 The market can sort it out very quickly.
01:31:52.100 On your point about the balance sheet, when you say balance sheet, people's eyes start to glaze.
01:31:58.500 This thing of Fed is sitting on a pile of bonds, and too many of them.
01:32:03.260 And so, what they should be doing is letting those bonds mature, not buying new bonds.
01:32:09.780 Let the money supply go down.
01:32:12.260 And if they do that in a responsible way, we'll avoid a huge slowdown.
01:32:16.580 But let me give you something, a gimmick that they've been employing in the past year.
01:32:22.100 When they create or are creating $120 billion a month, pulling money out of thin air.
01:32:28.040 Let me just, let's walk your listeners through on this.
01:32:32.020 The Federal Reserve creates money.
01:32:33.600 They call up a dealer, a bond dealer like Goldman Sachs, and say, we want to buy a billion dollars of bonds.
01:32:40.140 So, Goldman says, fine.
01:32:41.660 They give the Fed the bonds.
01:32:43.860 And how does the Fed pay for those bonds?
01:32:46.160 They credit Goldman's bank account.
01:32:48.400 Where does that money come from?
01:32:50.300 No place.
01:32:51.120 The Fed just says, voila, you have it.
01:32:53.860 And that's how they create the money out of thin air.
01:32:56.400 So, they're doing that last year at a rate of $120 billion a month to help finance the government's debt.
01:33:03.760 And so, what they did to try to keep from an even worse inflation than we've been experiencing is they then create the money and then borrow it back from the banks and money market funds overnight.
01:33:15.420 If you want to get technical, if people want to look at this stuff, they go to the Fed bounce sheet, they'll find a thing called reverse repurchase agreements.
01:33:24.480 In effect, the Fed is pouring money, pouring a bucket of water in one end of a pool, and then taking it out at the other end of the pool.
01:33:32.180 Now, that gimmick can't go on forever.
01:33:34.320 And, you know, a year ago, a little over a year ago, they had zero of these reverse repos.
01:33:39.300 Now, they have $1.7 trillion.
01:33:43.300 That's the game they've been playing.
01:33:44.720 Huge dam of money ready to flood the economy.
01:33:48.240 So, we are now also, by turning the, taking the money and saying, oh, no, your central bank, your dollars are no good to Russia.
01:34:01.520 A lot of countries around the world are going, geez, if I get on the wrong side of America, all of a sudden, what I have as gold is no good?
01:34:09.620 That's not safe for me.
01:34:11.440 We are destroying the dollar at the same time we're inflating the dollar.
01:34:18.420 How's this going to end, Steve?
01:34:20.700 Well, ultimately, and this will sound very strange, and you shouldn't say it in polite company.
01:34:25.780 Ultimately, in a few years, we're going to do again what we did for the first 180 years of this country's existence, and that is tie the dollar to gold.
01:34:36.360 What it means is gold, for a variety of reasons, keeps its intrinsic value, and all it means is it's like a measuring rod.
01:34:44.420 Not perfect, but it keeps the dollar stable in value.
01:34:47.980 If we had maintained the growth rates we did for that 180 years, which was the greatest in human history, and then we went off the gold standard in the early 70s, and since then, the average growth rate of the United States economy has gone down by at least one-third, from about four and a quarter percent to two and three quarters.
01:35:09.320 That doesn't sound like much, but you do that over 50 years, let me just give you a number.
01:35:15.260 The median household income today is about $68,000.
01:35:20.920 If we'd maintained our historic rates of growth, which we did for 180 years through depressions, wars, civil war, you name it, if we'd maintain that average rate of growth,
01:35:31.520 You know what the median income would be? $110,000.
01:35:38.740 That's what we've lost for a half century of funny money.
01:35:42.780 It's bad stuff.
01:35:45.060 Can you explain, you just said that the Fed is going to destroy jobs, or they're, you know...
01:35:52.040 Yes.
01:35:52.700 How are they doing that?
01:35:54.060 They have this thing, they have this theory called the Phillips Curve.
01:35:59.060 It's not a baseball pitch, it's named after an economist, who said that if you want low unemployment, you have to have high inflation, higher inflation.
01:36:08.900 If you want lower inflation, you have to have higher unemployment.
01:36:12.860 They believe prosperity causes inflation.
01:36:16.600 They don't realize devaluing the dollar causes inflation, but they can't grasp that.
01:36:21.940 So as a result, when you hear this talk about soft landing, what they mean is, can we slow the economy down enough without going into a full-fledged recession?
01:36:33.340 Usually their attempts at soft landings is a crash landing.
01:36:38.160 They are trying to slow the economy down, create unemployment, because they think the economy is too prosperous.
01:36:44.840 That's why they think we have this inflation.
01:36:47.800 So they won't say that explicitly, but you press them on it.
01:36:52.520 Yes, they want a slowdown, and they just hope they can avoid a recession.
01:36:57.960 It's bogus thinking, experience disproves it, but at the Fed, the Phillips Curve is wholly writ.
01:37:04.400 Steve, when you look at, by the way, we're talking to Steve Forbes.
01:37:10.100 He's got a new book out called Inflation, What It Is, Why It's Bad, and How to Fix It.
01:37:15.720 Steve, when you look at the money printing that we have done, you immediately think of Weimar Republic.
01:37:25.340 I mean, idiots know that, hey, you can't keep doing this for very long, and at huge sums of money, okay?
01:37:34.820 Everybody learned that.
01:37:36.300 Weimar Republic, Zimbabwe, et cetera, et cetera.
01:37:39.780 Venezuela today.
01:37:41.080 Venezuela.
01:37:41.880 So do we know or have a guess on how close we are to that?
01:37:50.420 I mean, is there a possibility we go into hyperinflation?
01:37:55.340 Well, you can't rule anything out with these people, but I think the answer is no.
01:38:00.820 I think even some people at the Fed are realizing they're in the danger zone, and so they're trying to figure out.
01:38:08.720 They got themselves into this mess, and they were doing this, by the way, undermining the value of the dollar before the COVID crisis.
01:38:15.960 This was starting in 2018, so they can't say, oh, we did it because of COVID.
01:38:19.980 No, they're doing it before COVID.
01:38:21.500 So I think they're trying to figure out now, how do we get ourselves out of this without getting a disaster?
01:38:29.020 So I think they're going to slow down the money creation, but what they should be doing now is, instead of trying to manipulate interest rates, just let their balance, just let the bonds mature and their size that they hold of those bonds go down.
01:38:45.760 Nature will take care of it.
01:38:49.240 But the other side of the coin is, even if the Fed starts to behave itself, then you have a government that is doing everything it can to slow the productive part of the economy.
01:39:10.480 You know, the genius of Ronald Reagan was, when he cured the inflation, at the same time, he had cut taxes, deregulation, and that's why we roared in the 80s after those tax cuts went into effect.
01:39:22.140 We're doing the exact opposite.
01:39:24.020 So we're going to have to wait for 2024 to get that done.
01:39:26.580 But in 2022, hopefully with the November elections, at least we can put barriers in the way of the Biden administration from putting new burdens on the economy and also start questioning the Fed.
01:39:38.940 What in the world are you guys doing?
01:39:40.460 Why do you think prosperity is bad for us?
01:39:44.360 Steve, could I hold you for one minute?
01:39:46.480 I've got about five more minutes.
01:39:48.360 If you have time, hang on 60 seconds.
01:39:51.520 We're back with Steve Forbes.
01:39:52.780 Sometimes we send people out to do our bidding.
01:39:58.040 Sometimes we send them out to protect us in our own communities.
01:40:02.500 We send firefighters out to fight our fires.
01:40:05.040 We send soldiers out and they don't come back or they come back forever different as a person.
01:40:11.200 This is where Tunnel to Towers Foundation comes in.
01:40:14.200 Tunnel to Towers was started right after 9-11 and they have been supporting America's heroes and their families.
01:40:21.600 The first responders or military service member when they don't come home and children are left behind, they pay off their mortgage to lift the financial burden.
01:40:30.700 This really great organization.
01:40:33.060 For catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, Tunnel to Towers builds mortgage-free smart homes, enabling severely injured heroes to live more independent lives.
01:40:42.540 And now, through Operation Home Base, Tunnel to Towers is gifting tiny homes to homeless veterans.
01:40:48.900 You can help.
01:40:49.920 Donate $11 a month.
01:40:51.880 Just $11 a month at T2T.org.
01:40:59.380 T2T.org.
01:41:01.480 Do it now.
01:41:03.640 And let's start to, let's, can we just take care of our own and stop looking to the government to do these things?
01:41:11.040 T2T.org.
01:41:12.640 10 seconds, Station ID.
01:41:26.000 Steve, I know this is off the inflation path a bit.
01:41:29.320 We're talking to Steve Forbes, the book, Inflation, What It Is, Why It's Bad and How to Fix It.
01:41:34.140 But I'm really concerned about these ESG programs, you know, going and switching our economy to a stakeholder capitalism, which is just bull crap, in my opinion.
01:41:47.400 And the way we are letting BlackRock and others come in and just buy us all up.
01:41:57.460 They're buying one in every seven homes for sale going to BlackRock.
01:42:02.920 Well, this and the nice, the good thing about a free economy, free country and free speech is when these things start to happen, you can arouse the public.
01:42:16.440 They won't say it publicly, but Coca-Cola and Delta really reverse course after they did what they did last year when they booted the all-star game out of Atlanta because they didn't understand what Georgia did with the voting laws, which are more liberal than they were in New York City.
01:42:36.320 Hello. And they got burned on that. They got real pushback on that. Disney's getting pushback on it.
01:42:44.280 So the way the way you answer this stuff is you push back.
01:42:47.660 And one of the things I think you're going to see happen after the November elections is looking at ideas on how, if you're a shareholder in a fund or a group, an ETF or something, how can you have a voice on how your share of the shares, so to speak, are voted at these annual meetings?
01:43:09.020 It's complicated, but I think you're going to see real, real thinking on that.
01:43:13.840 So it's not just a group of people. You know, decades ago, there was a great business guru called Peter Drucker, and some schools still read his books, business schools, but he warned of what he called pension fund socialism.
01:43:30.540 He noted the rise of pension funds owned by the state and by endowment funds, and he said they could end up buying the economy.
01:43:39.640 Government doesn't have to do it. They're doing it for them. So I think you're seeing real pushback on that.
01:43:45.580 But this gets to what you might call modern socialism.
01:43:48.380 The modern socialists recognize you don't have to take over a company or an industry.
01:43:53.720 You just have to regulate it so its survival depends on your whims.
01:43:57.800 And that's what the Biden administration is doing, practicing modern socialism and pressuring the BlackRock and others or having BlackRock and others go along with pushing that kind of agenda.
01:44:10.420 That has to be resisted. But modern socialism, different from Marx had in mind, you get the regulators to do it.
01:44:17.500 You don't have to take them over.
01:44:19.280 Would you would you say that we are now doing modern monetary theory in Washington?
01:44:24.600 We have one. They're doing a form of it.
01:44:27.820 Modern monetary theory is simply modern garb on the old idea of devaluing money by creating too much of it.
01:44:35.560 You know, in Roman times, they did it by reducing the precious metals in a coin and putting a tin and junk in it.
01:44:43.140 Modern times, we do it by printing up a lot of paper money.
01:44:47.200 Now ellipses on your handhelds.
01:44:48.600 And it's the same thing.
01:44:51.320 And what you see unfolding now, we discussed this in the book, Inflation, is the old response of government.
01:44:57.400 They scapegoat.
01:44:58.380 You know, in Roman times, they blamed Christians.
01:45:00.900 In evil times, witches.
01:45:02.220 Now, today, we blame company executives.
01:45:04.500 But the same old movie.
01:45:06.640 OK, Steve Forbes.
01:45:08.400 Thank you.
01:45:09.140 Hold on just for a second.
01:45:10.980 Steve Forbes, his new book is out today.
01:45:14.660 You want to pick it up.
01:45:16.340 Inflation, what it is, why it's bad, and how to fix it.
01:45:21.240 More in just a second.
01:45:32.940 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:45:34.920 You know, no matter how generous you are, somebody out there always wants more than you were planning to give.
01:45:40.720 In other words, you might be the type of somebody that gives someone the shirt off your back.
01:45:47.400 But then they want your shoes and your pants as well.
01:45:50.340 That's what cybercriminals want.
01:45:52.340 Fortunately, when it comes to online security, it's not enough just to monitor it yourself.
01:45:56.780 You're going to need somebody like LifeLock.
01:45:58.900 I think they're the best in the business.
01:46:01.020 LifeLock is here because they understand cybercrime and identity theft, how it affects our lives, how it works, how it's mutating all the time.
01:46:08.460 We put our information at risk every time we go online, and that's why LifeLock is there.
01:46:14.380 Now, they can't catch everything.
01:46:15.640 Nobody can.
01:46:16.540 But they can monitor things better than you can, certainly, and most people can.
01:46:22.140 If you do become a victim, they also have a restoration specialist that can work with you to help fix the problem quickly.
01:46:29.960 No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions.
01:46:33.400 But join up with LifeLock.
01:46:35.020 They're the best.

01:46:54.080 I really like Steve Forbes.
01:47:08.640 I had dinner with him and his wife one time.
01:47:11.720 My wife was like, you sit next to him.
01:47:16.860 I don't, I mean, what am I going to talk to him about, you know, monetary theory?
01:47:21.920 And I'm like, no, I'm fine, honey.
01:47:24.520 Well, we got there and seating had already been arranged and I'm sitting next to her, his wife, and she's sitting next to him.
01:47:33.840 And we had a great time, his wife and I.
01:47:37.520 I love his wife.
01:47:39.960 She is, she's just like a grandma.
01:47:43.120 And, you know, when you think of a multimillionaire or billionaire, highly successful, you know, today you think of, you know, some blonde 40 years younger.
01:47:55.200 And, uh, yeah, I don't know how it came up.
01:47:59.200 Probably, I was probably rude.
01:48:00.960 Uh, but somehow or another, I, I said, you know, something like, you know, because we became fast friends quickly.
01:48:07.480 And I said, uh, I just love the fact that you are, uh, not ashamed of your years, something like that.
01:48:17.600 And she said, oh, the white hair and the wrinkles, like, well, yeah, she said, yeah, you know, we used to, we used to be able to handle that.
01:48:29.340 Now we can't have any wrinkles.
01:48:31.460 I earned all these wrinkles.
01:48:32.840 I earned this white hair.
01:48:34.580 And she was just great.
01:48:36.240 She was just a normal human being.
01:48:39.180 Tanya also, I think Steve is somewhat of a normal human computer.
01:48:43.440 Um, but, uh, he's, uh, she didn't, she, she didn't have that same kind of warm buddy, buddy conversation at dinner.
01:48:53.500 So she didn't want to talk, uh, you know, she macroeconomics at the table.
01:48:57.480 No, no, you know, Steve Forbes is an interesting part of history in that, you know, the country really could have taken a, a, a, a change for, I would argue the better.
01:49:08.540 If he had won that nomination in 1996, in particular, he ran in that primary, won a few primaries, was very competitive.
01:49:18.180 I think he wound up finishing third technically, but like was right there in that conversation.
01:49:22.960 And, you know, if he had won that primary, he's in the race against Bill Clinton.
01:49:29.180 Uh, he, I mean, does Ross Perot jump in a second time in 1996 if there's another sort of businessman on the, on the ballot already?
01:49:43.440 I mean, probably not.
01:49:45.260 Probably not.
01:49:45.500 Yeah.
01:49:45.680 I mean, not that they share philosophies.
01:49:47.380 Did Ross jump in the second time?
01:49:49.080 He was 92 and 96, right, for Perot?
01:49:51.000 Yeah, I know it was 92.
01:49:52.860 I didn't remember 96.
01:49:54.400 He did it again.
01:49:55.100 Yeah, he ran in 96 and that is, I mean, I, you know, to this day believe that was the difference.
01:50:00.500 I mean, there's some disagreement on that, but generally speaking, I think people, uh, realize that, you know, with Ross Perot not running, probably, uh.
01:50:09.660 I mean, look at how crazy this is that we, we were there.
01:50:13.980 The people were there in 92.
01:50:19.120 92, I think it's pretty widely accepted as the possibility.
01:50:22.940 96, I mean, you know, look, Bob Dole was not a strong candidate in 96.
01:50:27.160 Now, you know, Clinton running for re-election, maybe he would have pulled it off, but Forbes is the candidate with no Perot in that race.
01:50:34.060 Maybe he wins that and then we're talking, I mean, he ran on as a flat tax.
01:50:39.640 I mean, it would have revolutionized the country and I think the economy in such a positive way.
01:50:45.460 And we were, we were there at that time too.
01:50:48.000 I mean, if the Republicans would have been strong, uh, we probably could have gotten a flat tax through.
01:50:54.260 This is, this is when Bill Clinton is in front of the country saying the era of big government is over.
01:50:59.920 You know, that's where the country's, you know.
01:51:02.520 So I don't think that that is true, uh, back then.
01:51:06.000 We all felt it, but I don't think he believed it, but he, I think he felt the need to say it, which is notable enough.
01:51:10.820 Um, I think the era of big government might actually be over if we survive this.
01:51:17.660 I think massive changes are coming, massive changes.
01:51:21.800 I mean, doing the show tonight on, um, what's being taught in our schools.
01:51:26.440 I mean, this, the, uh, holy cow, you are not going to, you just won't believe your eyes when you see what is being taught in first and second grade, third grade, fifth grade,
01:51:39.000 about sex and sexuality.
01:51:41.540 It is so graphic.
01:51:43.460 I have to blur out the screen from the books.
01:51:47.600 I'm going to show you.
01:51:48.520 Yeah.
01:51:49.180 Because I could go to jail for peddling child porn by showing it to you online.
01:51:56.880 And what the teachers are showing this to our kids.
01:52:00.340 Yeah.
01:52:01.100 Something's not right.
01:52:02.220 Uh, and the way to fix this honestly is to, uh, say enough with the unions, the teachers unions are the worst, the worst, um, and getting it out of Washington, D.C.
01:52:15.940 I mean, it's close the department of education, just shut it down.
01:52:21.700 You know, I, I was, uh, talking to some people last night and, uh, I said, you know, what I would really like to see from a president and president Trump could do this is, um, on the campaign trail.
01:52:35.300 He could get up and say, you know, I know a little about real estate.
01:52:41.060 I'm tremendous at real estate.
01:52:43.760 I've, I've made a lot of money on, you know, he could do that.
01:52:47.380 Um, and then just say, so I have the credibility on real estate and I want to talk just to the people that live in Northern Virginia and Southern Maryland, right there around the beltway of Washington, D.C.
01:53:04.740 I'm really tired of seeing construction cranes building these giant buildings in Washington, D.C.
01:53:11.400 and your property values have gone through the roof.
01:53:16.220 The only employer here, real employer is the United States government or the companies that are trying to get deals from the United States government.
01:53:28.460 I just want you to know when I become president, I am going to do everything I can to collapse the real estate economy in this town.
01:53:39.940 So I would advise that you, if you think I'm going to win, put your house on the market right now, because you'll never get a better price for it than right now, because I'm going to fire thousands of people.
01:53:57.860 So this is going to, this is going to make, this is going to make Allentown circa 1983, it's going to make Allentown look like Disney world.
01:54:09.880 Okay.
01:54:10.480 I would love for him to say that and mean it because I think America is ready for big change.
01:54:21.000 It's hard to argue for a continuing of what we're doing now.
01:54:25.320 A continuation of this is not the path.
01:54:28.280 This is not the way, not at all.
01:54:31.840 It seems to be getting uglier and uglier as we go.
01:54:34.580 And going back to, you know, business as usual, this has been the problem with the Republicans.
01:54:41.940 They don't have a vision for the future.
01:54:45.460 It's not enough to say, we just got to return to the, to the constitution.
01:54:51.460 How are you going to do that?
01:54:53.300 Yeah.
01:54:53.780 How are you going to do that?
01:54:55.460 So put that in an actual plan and show me what you're going to do on a big scale.
01:55:03.560 Yeah.
01:55:04.120 I think the best clear example of this right now is what's going on with education.
01:55:08.100 I know you're going to be talking about all the stuff tonight with the craziness going on in these schools.
01:55:13.260 And yeah, we should be calling that out.
01:55:16.380 And yes, we should try to correct those problems.
01:55:19.120 And yes, we should try to get those schools open because they were ridiculous with those.
01:55:23.140 And yes, we should make sure kids shouldn't have to wear masks in school.
01:55:26.060 All of these arguments are correct arguments and they were widely made by Republicans.
01:55:31.980 And true, but none of them are a vision of the future.
01:55:35.900 They're all just like, well, we shouldn't do these bad things we're doing.
01:55:39.620 How do we correct this nonsense?
01:55:41.520 Well, a vision of the future is saying, get the, what you said about the Department of Education
01:55:47.040 is part of it.
01:55:48.360 And also get your kids out of these schools, get them into private schools.
01:55:52.640 The problem is most parents can't do it.
01:55:55.300 What do you mean?
01:55:55.700 What do you mean?
01:55:57.760 What do you mean?
01:55:58.260 What do I mean?
01:55:58.860 What do you mean?
01:55:59.840 You're saying under this current system, there is a big challenge of what, yes.
01:56:03.980 You can't afford it.
01:56:04.980 But again, the plan is to get the people.
01:56:07.700 I know.
01:56:08.080 You're spending money for these schools already.
01:56:10.060 People are like, well, I want free public schools.
01:56:11.760 You're not getting them.
01:56:12.740 You're spending money on these schools.
01:56:15.000 You're paying for them with your taxes.
01:56:16.780 If you were able to have your own money, that would do the majority of the work here.
01:56:23.540 If you could just get your own money.
01:56:25.080 And the free market would do the rest.
01:56:26.040 You get your own money.
01:56:27.260 You bring them to a private school of your choosing.
01:56:30.020 You might homeschool.
01:56:31.540 You might do pod learning.
01:56:34.320 You might do private school.
01:56:36.360 There's a bunch of different options.
01:56:37.980 But if you were able to fund the students and not the system, which is what, there are
01:56:42.440 some people out there, Corey DeAngelis being one of them, who are pushing for this type
01:56:46.340 of stuff to be more of a priority, it is happening in some areas of the state level.
01:56:50.500 But why is it not the rallying cry of the National Republican Party right this second?
01:56:56.860 You will never have a better opportunity to reform the education system than you have
01:57:02.880 coming out of COVID.
01:57:04.060 Everyone looked at it.
01:57:05.280 Everyone got to see it.
01:57:06.480 Everyone's seeing CRT and the gender craziness and all this other stuff thrown at them constantly.
01:57:13.040 Unfortunately, this is not the time to fix public schools.
01:57:16.760 It's the time to abandon them.
01:57:18.800 Yes, it is.
01:57:19.400 Go another direction.
01:57:21.020 Give people another option.
01:57:22.680 I mean, the halfway step there are things like school vouchers and the ability to be
01:57:28.220 able to choose.
01:57:29.020 But honestly, we should be moving toward getting these kids out of these schools if it's at
01:57:35.960 all possible.
01:57:37.300 And in conjunction with changing the rules with vouchers and all of that, is developing
01:57:42.320 more, I think, charities on the Republican side and conservative side to say, let's fund.
01:57:48.620 Yeah, I know.
01:57:49.320 We always talk about university education and how crazy the professors are.
01:57:53.000 It's too late.
01:57:54.060 It's too late at that point.
01:57:55.180 Changing the professors at the universities is certainly something that should be done
01:57:59.600 and it should be changed.
01:58:00.880 But K-12 has been ignored by conservatives for years who keep whining about some crazy
01:58:07.280 professor who's talking to a 20-year-old graduate student.
01:58:11.280 It's too late.
01:58:12.900 There needs to be a foundation for these kids.
01:58:14.840 The foundation is the real problem.
01:58:17.580 They can make a decision and say that stuff is crazy later on if they have the right foundation.
01:58:21.760 If they don't, then this stuff is going to work.
01:58:25.480 So get to them early and say, hey, let's go to a school that actually achieves things,
01:58:29.400 that teaches our kids, that instructs them in things that are actually valuable and not
01:58:35.320 how many of the thousand genders they might wind up being on an average Thursday.
01:58:40.820 We have to do that stuff.
01:58:42.480 And there's reasons that there's ways to do that through law and certainly approach.
01:58:47.820 Also, I think there needs to be private solutions to that.
01:58:50.120 But also, it should be the focus of the party right now, right this second.
01:58:54.720 It's incredible that this has been an opportunity that the conservative politicians out there
01:58:59.940 will sit there and whine about public schools all day long without making a difference
01:59:04.760 and changing the way these kids are educated.
01:59:08.520 Oh, you stopped talking.
01:59:10.080 I just went on there for a while.
01:59:12.620 I didn't know what you were.
01:59:13.600 I'm sorry.
01:59:14.020 I actually care about kids.
01:59:14.740 Actually, I think you're absolutely right.
01:59:18.540 And it is, you know, you always say, we always say the next election, I mean, unless the Republicans
01:59:26.040 screw it up.
01:59:27.080 This is a very big example of screwing it up.
01:59:30.060 Here they have this opportunity because people are passionate about their kids, passionate about
01:59:35.060 schools, passionate about, I mean, watch the show tonight.
01:59:37.860 You will have passion on this topic and somebody is going to capitalize on it.
01:59:44.080 And I think that's why we like Elon Musk.
01:59:47.380 Elon Musk sees a problem and he's like, you know what?
01:59:50.800 Let's just go fix it.
01:59:52.180 Let's go fix it.
01:59:53.140 I'm going to go.
01:59:53.740 I'm going to.
01:59:54.300 I'll fix it myself.
01:59:56.040 I'll use my money and I'll fix it.
01:59:58.880 You know, you can't go into space.
02:00:00.760 You can't launch a rocket on your own.
02:00:02.700 Yeah.
02:00:02.880 Well, I'm going to.
02:00:05.140 And he does.
02:00:06.840 That is big visionary thinking.
02:00:10.000 We have none of it in Washington, D.C.
02:00:13.740 Zero.
02:00:15.100 We just need somebody with a big visionary thinking that says, I know who the American
02:00:21.120 people are.
02:00:22.100 I know they can do anything if we just leave them alone and get out of their way.
02:00:27.020 So that's what we're going to do.
02:00:28.840 And we're going to start with education.
02:00:30.820 You keep all your money, states.
02:00:32.880 Keep all your money.
02:00:34.620 We're not going to take your money and then return 60 cents on a dollar and then tie all
02:00:41.100 that money to things that we in Washington think you need to do.
02:00:44.460 You need to do it at the local level.
02:00:46.480 I'm abolishing the Department of Education.
02:00:49.700 And that's the first one I'm going to do.
02:00:51.340 But believe me, the prices of this real estate.
02:00:56.340 Is going down.
02:00:58.260 They are going to go way down and it'll be beautiful and wonderful to watch them collapse.
02:01:08.980 Come on, Donald Trump.
02:01:10.040 Do it.
02:01:10.840 All right.
02:01:11.260 Gold line.
02:01:11.680 There's a historic irony that borders on being funny.
02:01:16.740 Try this one for size.
02:01:18.060 There was a time in this country when because of gold, people actually packed up and went
02:01:24.040 to California.
02:01:25.480 Hmm.
02:01:26.000 Now, all these years later, in large part, because of places like California, people are
02:01:32.540 having to turn to gold.
02:01:34.560 Isn't that weird?
02:01:36.000 I mean, I don't make the history.
02:01:38.460 I just repeat it in the hopes that it won't repeat itself.
02:01:41.280 Not much doubt as a country.
02:01:44.060 We're in one of the worst positions we've ever been in.
02:01:46.660 The point of no return may have already passed months and months ago, at least for the dollar.
02:01:52.120 I don't know.
02:01:53.660 But you can put yourself in a safe position or safer position by acquiring physical gold.

02:02:47.600 Uh, just been in the breaks, just been checking in with, uh, the, uh, Johnny Depp test testimony.
02:03:10.680 Uh, and, um, he shouldn't talk without a script.
02:03:16.440 He really is.
02:03:18.160 Uh, substance abuse claims grossly embellished.
02:03:21.840 That's the headline, but if you're watching him, he is talking about, well, yeah, and I, you know, I, the drugs were so bad that I, when I tried to get clean, I had to stand under a scalding shower and burn my skin to make the receptors pay attention to something else.
02:03:43.020 Other than my withdrawals.
02:03:44.220 Um, I don't know if, I don't know if that's an embellishment of your drug addiction.
02:03:50.880 That sounds like pretty serious drug addiction to me.
02:03:53.680 I'm not just saying he should learn to answer in less than three words, uh, cause he's not doing himself any favors.
02:04:02.380 All right, we'll see you tonight, nine o'clock, Blaze TV.
