00:00:00.000 Oh yeah, today I went full jihad on the banks, and we really start with what's happening in

00:00:07.500 Minnesota. I just can't take it. I just can't take it. So jihad on the banks, also Ming and Mo

00:00:14.520 and the Apple analogy that brings you again to the Chinese and to the banks, and our thoughts

00:00:21.600 on Scott Adams, who passed away, unfortunately, during the middle of my podcast. My spur-of-the-moment

00:00:27.920 thoughts on that as well, all on today's podcast. When we talk about America turning 250 years old,

00:00:34.900 the real story isn't just in the history books. It's in the people who got up before the sun,

00:02:27.380 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:31.920 I want to talk to you. I don't know. I've got so many things on my plate today that I don't know

00:02:37.300 if we can finish everything. I have, and I just need a real quick call from Ricky and Jason. And Jason,

00:02:44.360 you've been talking to the insiders all day, uh, on, uh, at glennbeck.com with the torch. Can you tell

00:02:50.620 me, um, I've got some stuff on Sharia law that's happening here in America and how important that

00:02:59.660 is. Um, and I also have the, the story of Ming and Mo and how it's a chalkboard on what's really

00:03:08.920 happening in, uh, Iran, uh, and the, the responsibility of the banks play a little bit.

00:03:15.760 Well, as a producer, I like flow. And so this segment on the chalkboard flows nicely out of

00:03:23.780 this Seamus segment. Okay. Uh, Jason, what are the insiders saying today?

00:03:28.440 Well, I, I, I told the insiders the very beginning, if I had to put a theme on this broadcast,

00:03:32.420 I was saying it was making complicated subjects easy to understand. And that screams the tale of

00:03:40.280 Ming and Mo to me. Okay. All right. So I was thinking of, uh, Iran, uh, yesterday and where

00:03:50.220 are they in the cycle of collapse? Is it going to happen? How likely is it going to happen? Um,

00:03:57.740 and a friend of mine, a dear friend of mine, uh, sent me something, uh, that is, uh, kind of a white

00:04:06.060 paper on oil and Iran and what's really going on in Iran. And I'm reading this last night and I'm

00:04:12.800 like, Oh my gosh, this is fabulous, but it took me a while to get through it and under and understand

00:04:17.520 it. So I'm going to do my best to break this down into a way that you can understand. And I'll give

00:04:23.760 you an important part of it because something happened in China with, with oil and it revolves

00:04:32.740 around the teapot refineries. You can look that up, the teapot refineries. So let me tell you a

00:04:39.880 story. We're going to, we're going to tell you the story of Mo, definitely not Mohammed and Ming, 0.71

00:04:45.960 Mo and Ming. Mo is an apple farmer, a farmer, and he starts out small. He has a few trees,

00:04:54.780 a few crates. He's, you know, works hard and everything. And he reinvests all the time.

00:05:00.040 He plants more trees. He buys more land. He takes out loans for trucks and storage and refrigeration.

00:05:05.280 And he's not reckless. You know, he's, he's doing what everybody tells him to do,

00:05:09.600 grow, just keep growing your business. Um, and he, he becomes bigger and bigger and it

00:05:17.220 becomes like the thing, you know, you, you gotta have the apples selling to be able to keep his

00:05:23.980 community stable. Well, one day something incredible happens, uh, a massive single grocery chain picks up

00:05:32.320 Mo's apples. Okay. Not a few apples, all of the apples, which is good because what I didn't tell

00:05:39.760 you about Mo is he thinks he's a good guy, but he's pissed every other Apple store off in the

00:05:45.740 world. Nobody wants Mo's apples. So he's got like this big farm and he's got all these apples and

00:05:52.160 nobody wants to buy his apples and Ming shows up and he's like, you know what? We love that. Of course,

00:05:58.020 we take your apples or we're going to make them into apple cider and apple juice. So we're going to

00:06:01.320 refine them a little bit, but we love your apples. Well, suddenly he's not selling at the roadside

00:06:08.080 anymore. He's scaling. He's expanding. He's borrowing more because the demand is guaranteed.

00:06:12.820 Demand is guaranteed. He's got somebody wants to buy it forever. The trucks are finances,

00:06:17.860 the finance, the warehouses are leased. The future looks locked in and it's great. As long as Ming 0.99

00:06:23.400 needs apple juice, he's got the apples for Ming keeps planting trees, producing apples, keeps moving.

00:06:31.320 But he doesn't have cash piling up in the vault. He's operating on assumed flow.

00:06:41.280 As long as apples are leaving his farm, as long as the trucks keep rolling in, as long as the store

00:06:46.180 keeps accepting deliveries, that that's fine. The bank is calm. The lenders are satisfied. The workers

00:06:51.500 get paid. Everything is great. But then one day, without any warning, look up teapot refineries.

00:06:59.840 The store calls. Ming calls and says, ah, yeah, he's not angry. He's not being political.

00:07:05.700 It's not a moral thing. It's just business. Ming says, yeah, we can't take any more apples. We're at

00:07:12.560 capacity. And Mo's like, what do you mean you're at capacity? Don't you need apples? Yeah, we need lots of

00:07:18.040 apples. But we have to make them into apple cider and apple juice. And we're just at capacity right

00:07:23.460 now. So we can't take them because we have a very bureaucratic system. And you know, global warming.

00:07:28.720 And Mo's like, global warming? Yeah, yeah. So we can't take any more of your apples.

00:07:35.320 Well, Mo is like, what the hell am I going to do? You need apples. Yep, yep. But we can't take the

00:07:41.880 volume anymore. Suddenly, the problem is not demand. It's capacity. There's nobody that will take his

00:07:49.480 apples, accept them, and they're out of space. They can't take them anymore. No alternative.

00:07:56.080 There's nobody else that wants to buy. Nobody big enough to absorb the volume. And no other store can

00:08:01.460 take them. Nobody's buying. The apples are still coming off the tree, but they have nowhere to go.

00:08:07.640 In fact, they are in the trucks. Let's say they're shadow fleet of trucks. And he's got them all over

00:08:16.300 the world. And now he's shipping them, but nobody can take the oil. He can't transport oil. He's got

00:08:23.280 nothing. So he's got these trucks that were on their way to Ming's. And now they're just parked on

00:08:29.620 the sides of the road. And they're just sitting there. And now the police are like, why are all these

00:08:35.660 trucks on the sides of the roads? I mean, check that truck out. What are you doing there? And then

00:08:40.980 they realize, wait a minute, you don't have a license to ship apples. In fact, you don't have

00:08:45.760 a license on this truck. This truck isn't. What are you doing? They impound the trucks. They lose the

00:08:52.680 trucks. The trucks begin to stack up. Everything's gone because now he's also losing the trucks.

00:09:01.400 Okay. He didn't fail because he was bad at farming. His entire operation was built around one buyer

00:09:09.320 and that buyer hit a ceiling and it happened all at once. Okay. Now, what we don't think about is that

00:09:18.700 he never actually owned any of the trucks. He never owned anything. Okay. He didn't own the tractors

00:09:24.880 of the warehouses. The banks did. And the banks never trusted the farmer. The banks trusted his

00:09:31.500 business partner. And so his business partner had the insurance policy. Every truck, every warehouse,

00:09:37.740 everything. The business partner was the one. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, this is the part that'll

00:09:42.940 piss you off if you know that we're talking about oil and Ming is actually the refinery in China

00:09:47.580 and Mo is the oil in Iran. But I didn't say that. I'm talking about apples. Once you understand 0.83

00:09:55.100 this and I say, wait a minute, what do you mean the bank didn't trust Iran? I mean, Mo, 0.60

00:10:02.300 what do you mean they trusted Ming? And they were the ones writing the loans. They were the ones

00:10:08.360 covering the insurance. They were doing everything. They covered everything. So Mo could exist. 1.00

00:10:14.540 Yeah, they covered all the transit insurance, everything. Because Mo wasn't actually selling

00:10:26.420 the apples to Ming. He was doing a barter system. This is where, this is why I'm on a jihad for the

00:10:36.840 banks. He did a barter system. Wait a minute. Hang on just a second. What do you mean he didn't pay

00:10:42.660 for? The China didn't pay for that oil? The apples? No. No, because that would be illegal.

00:10:50.320 There's an embargo on that oil. You can't buy that oil. Banks knew that. The insurance companies

00:10:58.000 knew that. You can't put that tanker out there because you're going to buy this oil. No, no, no,

00:11:02.900 says the bankers. You know what? If you don't pay cash, if there's no money exchanging hands,

00:11:11.480 well, you can take that oil. Yeah, but how do I pay Mo? Well, you could pay Mo by giving him more

00:11:18.380 trucks. You could pay him by setting him up in business and helping him buy other things that

00:11:25.260 he needs. You could give those to him. You could barter. You could do those things. You can send

00:11:30.100 people in to help him build his infrastructure. You can do that. And instead, he just gives you

00:11:35.220 that oil. So there's no money changing hands. That way, we haven't violated any international

00:11:40.680 law, says the banker. And we're fine. We have no exposure here. The banks are fine. The insurance

00:11:50.120 companies in Switzerland, they're fine because there's no exposure. They're not breaking the law.

00:11:56.160 Oh my gosh. This is enough to give me a brain aneurysm. Wait, what?

00:12:09.360 So here's where the story turns a little darker than that. The farmer, Mo, he has sons and each one ran a

00:12:18.180 different part of his farm. One handled security, one handled distribution, one handled the relationship

00:12:23.560 with the big store. One was just skimming off the top and built himself a nice little house at the

00:12:28.840 edge of the property. Every single, and he had a lot of relatives, every single relative had something

00:12:35.120 to do with that farm. And for years, they all got along because they loved each other. Now, they

00:12:40.860 actually just were selling apples and everybody could get along. They'd kill each other at night if

00:12:45.180 they could. But now the apples aren't selling. So the arguments have begun.

00:12:49.880 One son says, sell them land while it's worth something. Another says, no, hold on. The store

00:12:54.180 might come back. Another one says, no, you know what? I'm not with either of you and starts moving

00:12:58.760 equipment out of the barn in the middle of the night. And he's just going to get onto a plane and

00:13:02.680 disappear at some point. Everybody's still wearing the Mo's apple farm uniform, but nobody believes in

00:13:09.400 the farm anymore. This is when things fracture. This is when countries go down because each son stops

00:13:19.300 asking, how do we save the farm? And they start asking, how do I get out before it collapses?

00:13:25.140 The farm doesn't change hands in a ceremony. It just empties out. And it empties out of the

00:13:31.300 sons first, the ones who were kind of owning, had a big role in the farm. Because the farm workers,

00:13:40.780 the other ones, they never liked Mo. And they're on strike because now they're not making any money.

00:13:45.920 Everything is seemingly collapsing. And they're stuck there. They can't get on a plane in the

00:13:50.680 middle of the night. They haven't been paid. They're angry. They're tired of promises. They're

00:13:54.920 tired of Mo. The farmer now can't even walk the orchard at night because his security won't even

00:14:01.080 keep him safe. There's still pockets that will do it. He can't inspect the trees. He can't fix what's

00:14:07.580 broken if he ever could. And he's distracted instead of paying attention to the next person.

00:14:13.640 He is having to pay attention to the protests that are out in front of his gate. And everything

00:14:19.440 begins to rot. This is what's happening in Iran. The banks kept them alive. The banks found a way 1.00

00:14:33.100 with China to get around the international law and keep that oil flowing. And there is a kill switch.

00:14:39.100 I'll get into that some other point. There is a kill switch that if they flip that switch,

00:14:44.020 then those sanctions actually get serious. And then it's over. And it'll be over in a month.

00:14:49.480 It'll be over in a month. If this scenario is right, if because there's something wrong with

00:14:55.060 the teapot refineries, I don't know what it is yet. But I'm just trying to I'm just trying to make

00:15:00.020 sense of of this white paper that I read about the teapot refineries. And I don't know exactly

00:15:05.000 because they're saying it's part of partly global warming. No, it's not. That's bullcrap. And you

00:15:08.860 and I both know it. China doesn't care about global warming. So what is happening? All I can tell you is

00:15:16.060 what I got out of this whole story was you were sitting here watching again, another story about

00:15:24.300 global banks keeping really bad people in position because they get a cut and they'll walk away in the

00:15:33.080 end. And they'll have their cut. They'll have made their money. Screw Mo and Ming. Screw the workers. 0.99

00:15:41.100 They don't even come up on anybody's radar. That's why we need to pray for the workers. We need to be

00:15:47.380 supporting the workers because Mo and Ming have never been honest. And the bankers certainly have

00:15:53.940 never been honest. It's seemingly every day I find another reason to look at these banks and say,

00:16:01.260 we got to clean these places out from Epstein to China to Venezuela, the drug cartels

00:16:08.900 all over to riot Inc. I think the problem is really starting to be very apparent. The problem

00:16:17.240 is at the bank. They're enabling everybody. Let me tell you about relief factor. Most of us don't

00:16:26.200 notice how much pain shapes our day until we've been doing it for a long, long time. You wake up

00:16:30.640 stiff. You move a little slower than you used to. Eventually, that becomes the normal, not because

00:16:34.720 it should be, but because you've lived around it. You've learned to just function and just dismiss it.

00:16:42.680 Relief factor was created for people who are tired of managing pain and would rather address what's

00:16:46.920 causing it. It's a daily supplement designed to help your body fight inflammation, which is at the root

00:16:51.680 of so many of our aches and our pains, our joint issues, et cetera. It's not a quick mask or a

00:16:57.900 temporary distraction. It is about supporting your body over time so you can move more freely,

00:17:03.420 sleep more comfortably, and get back doing the things without constantly negotiating with your

00:17:08.060 own joints. It's relief factor. 100% drug-free, targets the inflammation that causes pain so you

00:17:12.940 can move better, feel better, and actually enjoy life again. Try the three-week quick start. It's

00:17:17.260 1995. Go to relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, or call 800-4-RELIEF. See if you're the next person

00:17:22.880 that can get out of pain. It's relieffactor.com, 1-800, the number four, Relief. Now back to the

00:17:28.360 podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Okay, so let me do a little bit of a

00:17:37.820 jihad here because I was thinking last night about what's happening in Somalia. I'm thinking about ICE.

00:17:42.960 I'm thinking about, you know, the president now being sued. I love this one. Minnesota.

00:17:50.280 Guess. Guess who. A name from the past that, you know, I just always feel warm and fuzzy inside when

00:17:56.540 I hear Keith Ellison's name. Keith Ellison, I think, personally, kind of a bad guy. By the way,

00:18:04.820 if you're looking at the chalkboard guys I'm seeing in the control room, chalkboard,

00:18:07.920 that's Mo and Ming's apple farm. That's for China a little later. You don't want to miss that.

00:18:15.720 But let me talk to you about Minnesota. Keith Ellison, he is suing the Trump administration

00:18:27.280 because he said, in essence, a federal invasion of the Twin Cities and Minnesota

00:18:33.600 is happening now. And it has to stop. DHS agents have sown chaos and terror across the metropolitan

00:18:41.880 area and in cities all across the state of Minnesota. No, they haven't. They've shown up to do

00:18:47.540 their job. And what is their job? Their job is, well, ICE is there to make sure that people who have

00:18:55.580 criminal records are no longer there. And you have, I'll give you a list in a little while,

00:19:03.440 of all the people that they're arresting, trying to arrest. They're really, really bad guys. But

00:19:09.240 it is really not even about the Somalis. Even the Somalis that were laundering money or, you know, 0.76

00:19:16.440 stealing money from the Minnesota people. It's not even about that. I'll tell you who it's really

00:19:21.900 about here in just a second. But let me take you through the story. Because last night I heard

00:19:28.020 about the lawsuit and then I'm thinking, you know, that damn airport. How did they miss this at the 0.99

00:19:33.320 airport? A million dollars a day in cash, in a suitcase for up to two years. $700 million went

00:19:44.020 through that airport. And I'm thinking, you know, if I have a suitcase and it's got $5,000 in cash,

00:19:51.900 and I'm just taking it through the x-ray machine, I have a feeling we should do this. Let's go see

00:19:57.480 if we can get $10,000. And let's just try to go through. Let's just see what DHS says. I'm going

00:20:02.640 to take a suitcase. We'll put $10,000 cash in it. And I'll just go through it. Let's just see if they

00:20:06.720 say anything besides, whoa, wow, that's a lot of cash there. And then let me go on. I doubt they do.

00:20:15.140 Are you claiming this? What's happening with this money? Where's this money going for? It's the law.

00:20:20.920 So how did they put a million dollars through that airport? Well, it didn't start with the

00:20:27.540 airport. Didn't start with a suitcase. It started with a check. A check. A check written by the state

00:20:34.740 of Minnesota. That, if you're listening to us in Minnesota, I'd like to remind you, is your money.

00:20:40.920 Money that you could have used to put your kids through school. Put your kids in new clothes.

00:20:46.500 Put your kids in a better school. Take a vacation. Pay down the credit card. Whatever it is.

00:20:53.320 That's your money meant to feed children and support daycare centers that are supposed to be, 0.81

00:20:59.200 and I know this is a very high bar, supposed to be real places with real kids, real meals,

00:21:05.860 real receipts. But before the check was ever written, you have to understand this whole system

00:21:12.700 of welfare, of this whole thing. It was designed to ask basic questions because

00:21:19.680 we expect humans to be humans. We expect fraud to happen. Okay? So they ask questions like,

00:21:27.780 this is a tough one. Is this a real center? Is this, are there, actually, forgive me for asking this.

00:21:35.380 This is really tough. You'll have to do the math on that. Are there any real children in this real

00:21:41.260 center? Here's one. Do the numbers actually make sense? Those questions are not really philosophical.

00:21:50.140 They're program controls, and they're put in, again, because we know people, when nobody's looking,

00:21:57.340 people sometimes steal and do bad things, and they exist specifically to stop exactly what happened

00:22:03.840 in Minnesota. And yet the first payment went through. Okay, mistake. Then the second. Then the

00:22:09.520 third. And the third is bigger than the first and the second. And each time they get bigger and bigger

00:22:15.240 and more absurd until the numbers stop being suspicious and just become impossible. You can't

00:22:22.720 feed that many kids in there. How big is this daycare? No daycare feeds that many children. No profit,

00:22:28.340 non-profit grows that fast. Okay? No honest program explodes overnight into tens and then hundreds of

00:22:36.700 millions without tripping every single wire the system has. Because it just doesn't happen.

00:22:44.340 So last night I was thinking about the odds because this is the only honest way to deal with

00:22:52.360 how could nobody know? What are the odds that nobody knew? Well, let's start with the state-level

00:22:59.120 program. The odds that people noticed and chose not to stop it are incredibly high. And that's not

00:23:08.400 because I'm cynical. It's because what the scale does. Okay? This is something at this scale everybody

00:23:15.660 noticed. When a program starts paying amounts that dwarf normal baselines, it's not hidden in the

00:23:22.340 noise. It becomes the noise. You know, if you're doing, if, if you're, uh, doing banking and you're

00:23:29.800 somebody and you're bringing in, you know, a million dollars every month to the bank, do you think if

00:23:34.820 you're just going up to the counter and you're just waddling up to the counter and like, I got another

00:23:38.840 million dollars to, uh, to deposit this month, do you think none of the tellers just say, what does that

00:23:44.000 guy do? Of course they do. Of course they do. So it's not hidden in the noise. It is the noise. And

00:23:52.800 that means that memos, escalations, exceptions, and approvals all had to happen. This means humans

00:24:00.340 were involved making decisions. And the justice department has just described this as the largest

00:24:06.720 COVID fraud scheme in the state. Now they've charged dozens of people, dozens, dozens of

00:24:18.440 people, Somalis, because you hate Somalis, remember? So the, by the time you're witnessing

00:24:24.600 nine figures, we're not debating a miss. How did you miss this? We're debating whether the failure

00:24:30.960 was cowardice, incompetence, or complicity. Okay. That's just at the writing of the checks.

00:24:38.400 Now let's stop at the bank for a second because the money eventually has to hit the bank because

00:24:43.640 it's a check. So somebody has to take that check and put it in the bank, get the cash back out.

00:24:50.580 Now this is where the American public still believes that, you know, this, this comforting fairy

00:24:57.800 tale that the bank is just a neutral pipe. You know, the money goes in, the money comes out,

00:25:02.980 nobody knows anything. That's not how modern banking, were you alive during 9-11? Do you

00:25:09.960 remember banking before 9-11? Do you remember what they did to the banks after 9-11? Do you know what

00:25:14.560 they did to the banks after 2008? You practically can't move a dime without people knowing exactly what

00:25:22.240 you're doing, at least in the banks. Because the bank runs on compliance, pattern detection,

00:25:29.780 liability management. You know, this one I love. You know, what's a liability management?

00:25:34.400 That's, that's a group of lawyers in a room that goes, okay, hang on just a second. If we don't

00:25:39.060 report this, are we going to be liable? If we do continue them with a customer, are we in trouble?

00:25:44.440 Okay. They don't care about you, the state, nothing. They, their only job is to make sure

00:25:50.660 the bank isn't liable for anything you might be doing. Okay. They also track velocity. How fast

00:25:59.200 is that money coming in and going out? They track any anomalies. They track behavior that doesn't

00:26:06.340 match the account story. I'm a daycare center. Really? This is the entire point of what is called

00:26:15.520 the Bank Secrecy Act, which gave us SARS, the yellow tickets, CTRs, all the surveillance architecture

00:26:25.060 that we have all came out of 9-11 and then. And that's the entire point is to be able to find and

00:26:32.760 track everything. Okay. This is the, do you remember, what was it? A couple of years ago

00:26:38.420 under Biden, the financials crimes center, they wanted to make sure that every single business

00:26:45.680 was registered with them to make it easier for them to understand exactly that you're not

00:26:53.660 money laundering. So they care about this. They care about this. The own numbers show the system

00:27:01.640 is massive. 4.7 million yellow tickets just in 2024. Now that means that Fred's not just sitting

00:27:12.100 in the back going, well, let me just run the numbers here. That is a complex system. Now here's

00:27:18.480 the brutal truth. These yellow tickets, you do something wrong. Let's say you're, the bank thinks

00:27:24.680 that you're depositing money offshore. It produces a yellow ticket. And then that yellow ticket goes to

00:27:32.180 the bank. It goes to those, that group of lawyers I told you about a minute ago going, geez, if we

00:27:37.320 keep taking money from Epstein, are we going to be liable for anything? Okay. The yellow ticket then

00:27:44.560 goes from the bank to the treasury department and it runs through the system. Now, I love this part of

00:27:51.520 it. Only the banks could do this. It's an alarm bell. It's not a break. Okay. It doesn't freeze

00:27:57.800 things. It, it, it only, it only, every time there's a problem, every time it says, oh, this

00:28:03.680 doesn't look right. An alarm bell goes off. Okay. It doesn't invest. It doesn't guarantee an

00:28:08.880 investigation. It guarantees that it's going to go to the higher ups in the bank. And they're like,

00:28:13.640 okay, do we want to look into this or do we just move on? Send it to the treasury. We're just going to

00:28:19.620 move on. Okay. That way the bank can keep servicing their customer. Because if you don't

00:28:25.960 take my $4.7 million from my daycare, I'll take my money elsewhere. And they want that money.

00:28:34.400 So this is how banks, this is, this is how bad guys get away with bad things for a long time.

00:28:39.900 And I'm on this jihad because they know about China. Wait until I tell you about Mo and Ming's 1.00

00:28:46.100 apple farm and how, you know, I've wondered how is, how is China getting this oil? I, I thought we

00:28:52.540 banned all oil exports. Are they just, are they just bringing in? No, wait until I tell you that

00:28:57.760 story. They know about the financial crimes that are happening in Venezuela. They know who's taken

00:29:03.280 the gold and where the gold is. The banks know the banks know who the drug lords is, are, they know

00:29:10.360 where the money is. They knew about Epstein. They knew about all of these things. Okay. All of them.

00:29:16.100 And that's how bad guys keep getting away with it. So the common thread in all of this stuff is how

00:29:27.240 the banks have optimized. The system is optimized to document suspicion, to manage it, manage the

00:29:34.680 bank's exposure, but not actually stop any criminal activity unless you're unpopular, unless the federal

00:29:42.280 government is like, no, this has to be stopped. Okay. Now layer in 2008 with what I just told you, Epstein

00:29:50.240 made off all of this stuff. The banks didn't miss miss the risk. The banks created the risk. The banks

00:29:58.740 created CDOs and derivatives and instruments designed to slice rate, sell, and then resell risk while

00:30:07.380 everyone in the banking community in wall street collected fees. And then when it blew up, who paid?

00:30:14.340 You did. You did. The taxpayer. You paid it.

00:30:18.720 When this all blew up in Minnesota, who's left holding the bag? Who actually paid for all of this?

00:30:29.280 You did. The banks got their fees. People got away with terrorists got their fees. Everybody seemed to

00:30:38.080 get their money. You lost money. Let me now take you to the airport on my jihad. This is where this story

00:30:49.720 becomes physically insulting because I've watched grandma get searched at the airport. I've watched

00:30:58.580 toddlers be patted down. I've watched milk from a baby taken from a baby as they're drinking

00:31:08.080 as they're drinking it and thrown away. Okay. It's ridiculous. And yet I'm asked to believe that

00:31:15.880 suitcases full of $700 million in cash, a million dollars every day went through that airport in a

00:31:24.620 suitcase and nobody noticed. Here's the thing. I'm not asking you to believe in a script for a Hollywood

00:31:32.080 movie. I'm asking you to accept something more mundane, more damning. Patterns that are visible,

00:31:40.200 patterns that are discussable, patterns that generate paperwork. So again, let me ask you the

00:31:47.260 odds question again. What are the odds that the people on the front line, standing there by the

00:31:54.480 scanners and the screens, notice these anomalies at least some of the time? If they didn't notice it

00:32:02.580 every time, again, I'm pissed off in one another jihad on DHS and Department of Homeland Security,

00:32:10.720 TSA. Why? Why weren't they aware of it every time? And if they were and they noticed this pattern

00:32:18.340 and it's repeated every single day, what are the odds the supervisors weren't aware of this pattern?

00:32:28.940 The odds that no one in the chain ever connected the dots? Wow. That's got to be never, right? It's

00:32:37.580 got to be never. And if it's not, you should be pissed off for security reasons because they're

00:32:42.560 ripping you off on security and patting down your toddler and grandmother while they're letting this

00:32:48.720 happen. So you're left in the same fork in the road, negligence, paralysis, or protection.

00:32:58.640 Then right when the citizen should be demanding clarity and consequences, you get a second fight

00:33:04.840 layered over the first. Minnesota's leadership are framing the federal presence as harmful and

00:33:15.760 they're trying to start something. The governor ordered the National Guard staged and emphasized

00:33:20.640 keeping the peace during the demonstrations. The attorney general has just filed suit. Why?

00:33:26.560 Why? Because they're responsible? No. It's cover-up. It's cover-up. It's to get your attention to stop

00:33:36.540 looking at who enabled this threat, this theft. Who did this? Instead, they're asking you to pick a

00:33:43.520 side in a street fight. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:33:49.600 So let me take you back to Somali and my jihad. My jihad is on several things. And I believe these

00:33:59.560 are the right things that we should be worried about. Look how many Somalis were involved in this. 1.00

00:34:06.240 Okay. And everybody's concentrating on Somalis. I'm going to give you a list of just who I believe

00:34:10.480 should be dragged in front of a court of law and answer questions. And I'm not even concentrating on

00:34:18.340 the Somalis. Because the Somalis involved in this is a smaller number than everybody else that had

00:34:24.700 to be involved in this. My jihad is on banks, but that will kind of be a theme throughout the entire

00:34:31.240 show today. Banks are really, really pretty. They're great. They do a lot of great things. And there's a

00:34:40.060 lot of great people at a lot of great banks. But the system itself protects itself. And they seem to

00:34:46.960 always get rich while everybody else has to pay the price. They got their fees. And they knew.

00:34:53.320 They had to have known. You don't run $700 million through an airport in cash. I tried to get $10,000

00:35:02.540 out of my bank at one point because I wanted to bury it in my backyard next to my dog's bones. 0.99

00:35:07.480 And, oh, crap. Now I got to read. I'm going to shovel it up now. Anyway, try to get it. It took 0.99

00:35:16.320 me two weeks. Took me two weeks. Now it can go faster than that. But they were like, we have to

00:35:21.080 let the Treasury know the Treasury. The bank doesn't have that much cash. And I'm like, you don't have

00:35:25.540 $10,000. What kind of crappy bank? They're like, the Federal Reserve. It goes to the Federal Reserve 0.95

00:35:30.480 every night. Now we're in Dallas. But every night it goes to the Federal Reserve. And we have to ask

00:35:35.420 for the amounts of cash. So the money came from the Federal Reserve. That wasn't an easy thing. That

00:35:40.180 wasn't like Mildred going into the back and just pulling out $10,000. There were all kinds of

00:35:45.700 paperwork. So you're telling me $700 million in cash came out of a bank over a two-year period and

00:35:53.820 nobody noticed it. Hmm. Then nobody noticed it at the TSA. Nobody noticed that. Nobody noticed

00:36:02.820 that these daycare centers are remarkable, serving more children than even exist in that community.

00:36:13.560 Nobody said anything. Nobody noticed. Hmm. Hmm. And now the last part. I am so sickened by

00:36:21.980 the leadership of Minnesota. I mean, I would move from Minnesota. I mean, I know Minnesotas are now

00:36:31.280 cheering. And they were like, wait, he was living here the whole time we didn't know it. They're

00:36:34.980 cheering that I wouldn't live in Minnesota. And I understand that. But I wouldn't live in Minnesota.

00:36:39.040 You couldn't pay me to live there. Not because of the politics, but because the society is accepting

00:36:44.560 this corruption. And now your governor and the whole apparatus that stole money from you

00:36:52.020 are now trying to get you riled up for a civil war. At least civil, the worst case scenario is civil war.

00:37:02.300 Those are your governor's words, not mine. The best case scenario is civil unrest.

00:37:09.260 They already let one of your cities burn to the ground. Why not burn the whole state down to the 0.99

00:37:14.960 ground? Why? So they aren't called into question. So they don't have to go to court. So possibly they 0.59

00:37:21.660 can get away with stealing your money? Is it Stockholm syndrome? Honestly. Now I know that involves

00:37:30.060 hostages, but it's almost the same thing. And I was thinking about it and it's not Stockholm syndrome,

00:37:34.920 but how do you get good people to do what people are doing up there? Well, you have to condition them

00:37:42.200 for a very long time. And this happens on both sides. I want you to know, you have to be careful on our

00:37:46.680 side. You're conditioned to go, orange man, bad. Tim Walsh, bad. Okay. You're conditioned. And so when

00:37:56.120 something happens, you're immediately conditioned to go, no, your bad side, me good side. Okay.

00:38:06.520 So that plays a role in it. But the other part that plays a role is if you have been this wrong and

00:38:13.080 you have defended somebody like this for so long and you've turned a blind eye to local reports and

00:38:19.980 everything else and you went, ah, that can't be true. And you're so deeply into it. It is almost

00:38:25.040 impossible for you to admit that you were that wrong for that long. Especially if the other side

00:38:34.000 says, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong. Instead of saying, you're looking at this, I think

00:38:38.600 the wrong way. Can I give you another way to look at this? Instead of welcoming people and saying,

00:38:44.820 no, no, no. I understand how you're feeling. I get it. If we are on our side saying, you're wrong,

00:38:51.920 you're part of the problem, you never, they'll never change their mind. They only harden their

00:38:56.400 positions and you will have civil unrest or civil war. In the meantime, we have to pursue this.

00:39:05.020 The federal agents cannot be turned around. You have to change this because if you don't,

00:39:11.680 if you can't break the spell and there is no accountability ever, then, you know, the predators

00:39:17.260 will just do it again. They'll do it bigger. They'll do it in the daylight. You know, guardrails

00:39:21.880 are real until somebody decides they're not. Okay. So I started making a list last night until I had no

00:39:32.620 more lead in the universe to put into a pencil and write it down. Uh, start making a list.

00:39:41.680 I'm a little like Santa if he were on a jihad and, uh, cause I made a list and it's a long list

00:39:50.340 and I've checked it twice. Now this is just the list of the system. Okay. Everybody's, everybody is

00:39:57.820 freaking about Somalis. I suggest we start looking at the system because this far outnumbers the 1.00

00:40:06.820 Somalis that were involved, I think. So who should be called in for questioning? Who should be worried

00:40:14.400 tonight? This is another reason why they can set the state on fire and nobody in government's going

00:40:19.740 to say a word. So who needs to be questioned? Who most likely at least knew and failed to say anything?

00:40:27.240 I'm not saying they're complicit, but they at least knew and failed to say anything. You got to

00:40:32.720 question the program directors, the division directors who oversee child nutrition, daycare

00:40:38.260 reimbursement, grant or the grant administration, uh, the payment approval managers and supervisors.

00:40:45.920 These are the people who can override a hold and approve exceptions. If something's hinky,

00:40:52.780 you got to talk to the people who went, now don't worry about it. Okay. The contract grant

00:40:58.660 officers and their supervising chain, because there's exceptions. Something was hinky and all

00:41:04.540 of it. Somebody said, Hey, this doesn't look right. And somebody else had to say, don't worry about it.

00:41:10.300 Okay. The internal audit leadership that is assigned to all of those agencies. These are people who

00:41:18.020 possibly will face jail time. If the universe worked the way it should, the compliance and integrity

00:41:24.620 units inside the agencies, anybody who is involved in integrity and the integrity office, the agency

00:41:34.780 general counsel, all of the people in the agencies are like, are we going to, are we, are we doing

00:41:39.400 anything illegal here? Can we get by with all of this stuff? Any legal review staff involved in the

00:41:45.620 escalations, the state finance people, the budget oversight personnel, anybody who would see abnormal

00:41:53.300 burn rates of that money and the concentrations of that money and go, something's not right here

00:41:58.200 because the system, remember the system is designed to look for things outside of the pattern.

00:42:05.660 That's how you spot fraud. So everything has been designed to spot that. This isn't something like,

00:42:11.520 well, we never saw airplanes flying into buildings. Nobody ever thought of that. We thought of fraud.

00:42:17.360 So there are tripwires everywhere. You need to question the inspector general, anybody who had

00:42:25.000 oversight functions, okay, federal funding and oversight interfaces. So now this is the next

00:42:31.040 level. This goes from the state to the federal, the USDA program oversight and compliance liaisons

00:42:37.040 tied to the program streams, the federal and state coordination points responsible for responding to

00:42:43.740 audit findings or corrective action plans. So now, now the, now the auditors who are like, Hey,

00:42:49.120 there's a, there's something hinky here. Then you go to the banks, the bank managers at the branches,

00:42:56.440 the regional operations manager, where high volume cash activity was occurring, the bank secrecy act,

00:43:04.600 the AML investigators assigned to the accounts, anybody where there was a yellow ticket that went up,

00:43:10.000 who was advised, who, who was assigned to look into that. And why didn't you act on that?

00:43:15.900 The, the yellow ticket committees, the governance groups, the senior compliance leadership,

00:43:22.060 that's regional and the local and the state bank, um, the risk officers, the compliance officers,

00:43:31.000 anybody who was looking at legal and risk, you know, should we keep this customer? Cause there is a

00:43:35.860 risk here. Are we going to be held responsible? The correspondent banking, the, the wire risk teams,

00:43:43.080 when you send a wire, I want to look at everybody who was involved in sending that wire. I want to

00:43:47.860 look at all of the risk teams and what they said, what they did, anybody who was moving money

00:43:52.700 internationally or through high risk corridors. How did you do that? How did you move money just to

00:44:00.220 Somalia? That alone sends up red flags. Then you get to the TSA and the airport. I want to question

00:44:10.520 everybody in the TSA, the super supervisory chain, anybody who was responsible for noticing patterns,

00:44:18.440 the airport security operations management, the people who are responsible for reporting and receiving

00:44:25.800 the reports on anything out of line, any joint task force liaison roles that interfaced with repeated

00:44:33.580 cash moot, you know, they're getting calls. And if they didn't, I want to know why, who made that call

00:44:38.660 to say, don't make the calls anymore. The, uh, the currency reporting enforcement from our border patrol,

00:44:49.540 from, from, from our customs, why didn't they, why weren't they involved or were they any kind of

00:44:55.720 outbound international cash that should have shown up with our, with our customs? Why did no one in

00:45:01.740 customs say anything? Then you have the prosecutors, the agency investigators who documented early red flags.

00:45:11.160 Why weren't they listened to who said, shut up about this supervisors who decided whether to refer,

00:45:17.460 escalate or pause payments. Was there anybody in line that said, Hey, we need to check this out

00:45:22.760 before we send any more money here. Any task force leadership, coordinating multi-agency response

00:45:29.600 timelines. Okay. That's me at home last night, just ranting, you know, who else, what happened to

00:45:41.420 this people? Why in customs doing it? Why, why did the person on the front line, who did they report to?

00:45:46.320 Who did they report to? Who stopped them from $700 million? Who in Washington was saying, uh,

00:45:52.620 uh, uh, uh, don't look into, did it make it to Washington? If it didn't make it to Washington,

00:45:56.520 how come it didn't make it to Washington? This shows the banking, the state and the feds

00:46:03.720 were completely, every, at best, every tripwire failed. And there are hundreds of them. I don't

00:46:15.060 believe they failed. People intentionally were either involved or they intentionally chose not

00:46:21.640 to get involved. You couple that with a, with a state full of people that don't want to look into it

00:46:29.540 now that it's been exposed and are willing to look at the people who did this to them

00:46:38.060 and say, yeah, I want to march in the streets. I want to put my body in front of the feds who are

00:46:44.780 doing investigations, who are trying to do this. I want to put my body in front of them to protect

00:46:49.420 Tim Walls and his cronies or the people at the airport or the people at the banks.

00:46:55.260 There's something deeply wrong. And you do not heal this society until you heal the people who were 0.52

00:47:02.640 not involved, but are, who are willing to look the other way at this point. There's no hope for

00:47:10.120 Minnesota unless you can turn the people and, and have them go, wow, I'm sorry. I was blind for a

00:47:17.500 minute. I don't know what happened to me. You'll never solve this and it'll only get worse.

00:47:25.240 Do not accept the lies that Tim Walls and, and Keith Ellison are now trying to get you to believe

00:47:32.500 that this is all the feds and their hatred for Muslims or their hatred of Somalis. It's not,

00:47:38.500 I haven't even mentioned the Somalis. They're the least of my worries. 1.00

00:47:49.120 podcasts, anywhere you download podcasts. Today is January 13th and we pause for a minute,

00:47:57.120 not for a punchline and not for a cartoon square with a tie wearing every man in a coffee mug.

00:48:06.280 We pause for a man who quietly became something far more important than most people ever realized.

00:48:17.020 Scott Adams for most of his life was just a cartoonist, as if just a cartoonist is a small thing.

00:48:24.360 He was a cartoonist that connected with us because he had, there was so much wisdom in that little man, that every man.

00:48:39.980 We saw, especially in the days when there was a water cooler in our office, when we would stand around in the kitchen or we would work in big offices where we all knew somebody that looked like that cartoon figure.

00:49:00.660 We related to him. We related to him. We understood him. We saw him in ourselves at times.

00:49:13.500 But not often did I think at the time of the cartoonist that was behind it.

00:49:19.920 He wasn't just a cartoonist. Scott Adams was a translator. He was a translator of, of human weakness, of power, of persuasion.

00:49:33.100 He was a translator of self-deception. 0.99

00:49:37.700 He took the chaos of our modern day life and reduced it

00:49:42.100 in a small little square in the old days in a newspaper or in a calendar.

00:49:49.920 He took all of that and reduced it into something that we could see.

00:50:00.440 And then he did something amazing.

00:50:02.980 When he could have stayed safely inside that little box,

00:50:09.680 Scott stepped out.

00:50:10.740 I think the first time I had Scott on the show was during COVID.

00:50:26.420 He lived in California.

00:50:28.680 He was a guy we all loved.

00:50:31.900 After you heard his political views, I'm sure half of the country did not love him.

00:50:35.620 But he became a guiding light for so many people who were just willing to think honestly.

00:50:44.680 You didn't have to agree with him.

00:50:45.760 He just asked you to think.

00:50:50.700 He became a mentor, in a way,

00:50:54.340 to so many people just trying to understand how influence really works.

00:50:58.200 He was a guy who was changing his life.

00:51:04.360 And he would mentor us through our lives by watching how he was dealing with things.

00:51:15.440 He really was a philosopher who was disguised as a stick figure artist.

00:51:20.940 He was just quietly asking questions.

00:51:28.900 Most people were too afraid or too tired to ask.

00:51:37.460 Let me play a couple of interview pieces from Scott here recently.

00:51:44.240 Let's play first his Christianity, his transformation, his conversion to Christianity.

00:51:56.640 Listen.

00:51:58.040 Whenever I talk about this simulation, and especially when I talk about my own impending death,

00:52:07.400 many of my Christian friends and Christian followers say to me,

00:52:12.260 Scott, do you still have time?

00:52:14.240 You should convert to Christianity. 1.00

00:52:17.360 And I usually just let that sit, because that's not an argument I want to have.

00:52:24.640 I've not been a believer.

00:52:27.260 But I also have respect for any Christian who goes another way to try to convert me. 0.54

00:52:34.500 Because how would I believe you would believe your own religion if you're not trying to convert me?

00:52:39.940 So I have great respect for people who care enough that they want me to convert and then go out of their way to try to convince me.

00:52:51.540 So you're going to hear for the first time today that it is my plan to convert.

00:52:57.200 So I still have time, but my understanding is you're never too late.

00:53:05.300 And on top of that, any skepticism I have about reality would certainly be instantly answered if I wake up in heaven.

00:53:14.480 I do believe that the dominant Christian theory is that I would wake up in heaven if I have a good life.

00:53:24.560 I don't necessarily have to state something in advance.

00:53:28.660 And so, to my Christian friends, yes, it's coming.

00:53:35.980 So you don't need to talk me into it.

00:53:38.700 I am now convinced that the risk-reward is completely smart.

00:53:44.000 If it turns out that there's nothing there, I've lost nothing.

00:53:49.580 But I've respected your wishes, and I like doing that.

00:53:53.480 If it turns out there is something there, and the Christian model is the closest to it, I win. 0.99

00:54:00.980 So, with your permission, I promise you that I will convert.

00:54:08.380 I have to tell you, there are going to be Christians that are going to argue about that all day long.

00:54:20.660 I love that.

00:54:23.120 Because even there, he's being honest.

00:54:27.980 I've always wondered.

00:54:29.020 I've joked with Penn Jillette about that.

00:54:32.180 I mean, you know, you're an atheist.

00:54:34.680 You don't believe, you don't believe.

00:54:36.620 Just hedge the bet.

00:54:38.880 In a joke.

00:54:42.020 But while Scott said that lightly, I doubt he took that lightly.

00:54:50.720 He was a deep thinker.

00:54:54.600 Here he is, just a few weeks ago, talking about the end.

00:55:02.080 So this is going to be a tough week, because I'm doing some goodbyes in person.

00:55:08.380 And for the most part, it's people I know I'll never see again.

00:55:14.040 And that's pretty tough.

00:55:16.180 Pretty tough.

00:55:16.980 I think I've slurred my way across this enough.

00:55:25.600 I think I've said what I need to say for now.

00:55:28.260 Thank you for listening and watching.

00:55:32.000 And I'll try to keep things off my chin.

00:55:35.960 All right.

00:55:37.440 Bye for now.

00:55:39.040 I hope I'll see you later, but it might not be.

00:55:42.500 That's how he ended things.

00:55:52.060 And I can say with full confidence that, Scott, we will see you later.

00:55:55.380 Scott was a friend to this program.

00:56:10.460 Because Scott was a friend to truth.

00:56:19.440 Not the fashionable kind.

00:56:22.000 Not the crowd-pleasing, crowd-approved kind.

00:56:27.680 But the kind of truth that actually costs you something.

00:56:30.080 We reached out to him recently.

00:56:38.220 I asked if he would just sit down with me for one last conversation, probably a couple of months ago.

00:56:46.980 He said something that none of us will ever forget.

00:56:50.320 I would love to.

00:56:56.680 But there just isn't any more gas left in this tank.

00:57:02.300 No drama.

00:57:04.080 No self-pity.

00:57:06.120 Just honesty.

00:57:11.900 Truth.

00:57:13.080 He didn't save anything.

00:57:15.320 He gave everything that he had.

00:57:17.380 He didn't save it.

00:57:18.320 He didn't ration it.

00:57:20.300 He burned through all of it.

00:57:22.700 For all of us.

00:57:24.640 And when the tank finally ran dry,

00:57:27.620 as you just heard,

00:57:29.920 he was still giving, still teaching.

00:57:33.480 And only running on vapors.

00:57:35.140 To me, the remarkable thing about Scott is

00:57:40.800 even his vapors

00:57:44.660 were more than most of us

00:57:46.640 given a lifetime.

00:57:54.100 Let his life challenge you

00:57:56.120 to think clearer.

00:57:59.080 To question everything.

00:58:00.920 Question the narratives.

00:58:02.680 To be peaceful.

00:58:03.400 To be kind.

00:58:05.740 To be giving.

00:58:07.360 To understand persuasion

00:58:08.900 so you're not enslaved by it.

00:58:11.940 To laugh.

00:58:13.800 Not because things are trivial,

00:58:15.940 but because humor sometimes

00:58:17.180 is the only way to survive reality

00:58:18.880 without surrendering to it.

00:58:23.160 He knew something

00:58:24.220 that I think most people never learn.

00:58:27.100 Clarity is compassion.

00:58:30.380 Truth can be delivered with wit

00:58:32.060 and can reach places

00:58:33.720 anger never will.

00:58:36.980 And courage doesn't always roar.

00:58:38.740 Sometimes it just keeps showing up

00:58:40.620 day after day

00:58:41.440 until there's nothing left to give.

00:58:47.620 Today, celebrate.

00:58:49.800 Mourn.

00:58:50.560 But celebrate.

00:58:52.220 A man.

00:58:53.240 A man whose life was

00:58:54.600 spent emptying itself out

00:58:57.060 over and over every day

00:58:58.440 for others.

00:59:01.920 Scott Adams finished his race.

00:59:04.120 He didn't quit early.

00:59:05.780 He didn't coast at the end.

00:59:07.820 He crossed the line on fumes.

00:59:10.040 And for that.

00:59:11.540 And for the light he left behind.

00:59:13.160 For the questions he taught

00:59:14.400 all of us to ask.

00:59:15.620 For the honesty he modeled

00:59:17.020 when it mattered most.

00:59:21.900 Scott, thank you.

00:59:22.920 Thank you.

00:59:27.200 You carried more than your share.

00:59:30.520 And my friend,

00:59:31.540 we will indeed

00:59:32.340 see you again.

00:59:34.260 Na, na, na, na, na, na.

00:59:37.380 You
