Sri Lanka was the jewel of Asia a few short years ago, to the global economic elite, the World Economic Forum showered them with praise. They had a green economy, they were on track to become rich by 2025, and now they are bankrupt.
00:02:47.020Food prices became unsustainable when gas went through the roof.
00:02:52.760Now Sri Lanka is on the brink of chaos.
00:02:56.580Videos have emerged of starving and desperate people attacking others out in the street.
00:03:03.540Everything culminated this weekend as thousands of angry rioters stormed the presidential palace and forced the resignation of their leader.
00:06:32.520Four years into it, we need to update the scorecard.
00:06:36.160This is what followed that initial push.
00:06:39.920Bankruptcy, inflation, default, shortages of food, shortages of commodities, shortages of fuel, violence in the streets.
00:06:50.060And in the end, the organizations that supported them and pushed them in that direction, the organizations like the IMF and the World Economic Forum, just walked away.
00:07:02.580WEF just ran an article reporting on how Sri Lankan public workers are now being given extra days off.
00:08:12.860Well, they didn't check all of the boxes.
00:08:15.240Whatever the excuse is, it's never their fault.
00:08:19.400They observe the ashes from afar, and then they double down and try it again.
00:08:24.080Remember what they did to Sri Lanka the next time you hear Klaus Schwab say, now it's time for Great Reset.
00:08:33.100Whenever you hear him say that, whenever you hear about Build Back Better, whenever you hear about our agricultural industry needing to go green,
00:08:42.160whenever you hear about how Russia is causing the gas prices, I want you to think Sri Lanka.
00:08:52.080Remember, Biden and John Kerry say, we just have a few short years to get this done in America.
00:11:07.720They say it's going to close down their farms.
00:11:11.780It will shut down their farming ability.
00:11:14.960It will cause mass starvation, they say.
00:11:19.220So we could either listen to the experts, or we could listen to the people who actually grow the food and have been growing our food forever.
00:14:15.160Our sponsor this half hour is the Tunnel Twins.
00:14:18.920Our freedoms are under attack and true history is disappearing.
00:14:23.880The socialists are rewriting it and they've been winning for a long time.
00:14:28.460I'm going to show you the, the pattern of totalitarian takeovers.
00:14:37.620I'm going to do that in hour number three today.
00:14:39.820I want you to make sure you're listening because one of the things, one of the first things they do after they sow discontent is they take over the schools.
00:14:52.940And gee, that hasn't, I mean, does that sound familiar at all?
00:15:38.300Um, majority of Democrat, likely voters, not just registered Democrats, but likely voters believe the Supreme Court is fundamentally racist.
00:15:47.920Racist, 56% and fundamentally sexist, 67%.
00:15:58.320Further, 53% of Democrat, likely voters, want to abolish the current Supreme Court and establish a new democratically elected Supreme Court with justices chosen by the American people directly.
00:16:14.720Can you even imagine what a nightmare scenario that is?
00:16:24.42039% of Democrats would strongly or somewhat favor a constitutional amendment that would give the United Nations the authority to reverse U.S. Supreme Court decisions that U.N. members believe violate human rights.
00:16:51.740I mean, I've met this many dumb people, but that would mean that all of the dumb people in America are Democrat, and I don't believe that.
00:16:58.860But I'm beginning to, I mean, 53%, 56% say it's fundamentally racist, 67% of Democrats say fundamentally sexist.
00:17:13.420But 53% of those who are likely to vote say they want to abolish the Supreme Court and hold elections for the, I mean, why don't we just, why don't we just do America's Got Talent?
00:23:23.120Another twenty three percent would support a ban at fifteen percent, meaning seventy two percent of the country agrees with what Mississippi brought in front of the Supreme Court because they said they wanted a 15 week ban on abortions.
00:23:40.540Women are more pro-life than men, and I think that's absolutely, absolutely explainable.
00:24:38.700They want to avoid the responsibility.
00:24:40.520So stereotypically, you assume that the guys would be the ones pushing for this.
00:24:46.880By the way, I might remind you, it was seven guys who brought the right to you.
00:24:51.560So, you know, for all the the thoughts that men shouldn't have an opinion here, the only person involved in a major abortion case that actually decided it, that was a woman, really was was Amy Coney Barrett.
00:25:06.880But I mean, I guess in Casey, you can make the argument, but still, I mean, Amy Coney Barrett's the one who was involved here.
00:25:14.440There were no women involved in the Roe versus Wade decision at the Supreme Court level.
00:25:21.180Here's the most telling part of the the poll majority.
00:25:24.580Fifty five percent said they opposed overturning Roe versus Wade, even though seventy two percent would support a law that Roe would have struck down.
00:25:36.900What's more, twenty five percent, only twenty five percent agreed that the Supreme Court, as opposed to state or federal lawmakers, should set the standards on abortion.
00:25:49.480So. Amazing. Wait, seventy two percent support the law that it just overturned, that it are that it just made possible by overturning it.
00:26:03.720And only twenty five percent say the decision should be in the hands of the Supreme Court, which is what the Supreme Court said.
00:26:10.480Mm hmm. Yeah. So basically what that tells you is that people just don't know what Roe versus Wade means.
00:26:15.560They think Roe versus Wade means if you overturn it, abortion goes away completely.
00:26:19.660They, of course, will learn very soon that that's not the case because seventy two percent support the Mississippi law.
00:26:26.560And, you know, twenty five percent like want the Supreme Court to make these rules.
00:26:31.260Well, that's what Roe versus Wade was.
00:26:32.840So you can't support Roe versus Wade and oppose the Supreme Court coming up with the rules there.
00:26:39.700A whole argument in Roe versus Wade was you guys are really kind of at odds here.
00:26:45.480Why don't we come in and say, well, let's make up a standard and that will solve the problem.
00:26:49.460And then Casey came along and they said, hey, that Roe versus Wade thing sure didn't solve the problem.
00:26:54.380We're going to give you a new standard, a new idea.
00:26:57.160Now it's going to be viability and that'll solve it for you guys.
00:27:03.360And then this Supreme Court said, hey, maybe we shouldn't be giving you the standards.
00:27:07.400Maybe you guys should solve this on your own through the normal process instead of us trying to come up with some universal solution for everybody.
00:27:14.400And that's what everyone seems to want in the poll.
00:27:17.980But they have absolutely no idea what Roe versus Wade is other than people who oppose it are evil.
00:27:23.580Yeah. And the people who are for it apparently love children and women.
00:27:29.740And even though now the New York has gone crazy, absolutely crazy.
00:27:36.960Not only their gun, their new gun, concealed carry permit.
00:28:00.240And New York also said that they need to crack down on the pregnancy centers that are offering life because they say they are offering disinformation by saying that it's a baby already inside of you.
00:28:19.220Uh, and the other disinformation is you're already a mother.
00:28:24.380You're, you're carrying your child right now.
00:29:04.240This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:16.000So I was reading something, uh, while I was, um, while I was away from the Epic times and it's the five stages of, of totalitarianism.
00:29:28.800And have you noticed both sides are worried about totalitarianism?
00:29:34.880The, uh, Antifa is saying, you know, it's the religious totalitarian, you know, and Donald Trump, the totalitarian.
00:29:43.300And that's exactly what the other side is afraid of.
00:29:48.780Now, I'm not going to argue which side.
00:29:53.420I just want to give you the five stages of totalitarianism and see if any of these connect with you and see if any of these things, uh, have happened yet.
00:30:06.500The first thing is discontent and rumblings.
00:30:10.200You can't start a totalitarian, uh, government, uh, until you're standing on the ash heap of the government and of the society that, that was you.
00:30:25.860If you want a new regime, you have to generate dissatisfaction with a status quo.
00:30:31.060Um, you have to get people to despise the old order.
00:30:36.900Um, you have to get people to believe that they can't do anything because of the old order.
00:30:45.020Um, and, and then present this new thing as a, as a solution to all of those problems.
00:31:26.540The Bolshevik revolution in Russia in 1917, it established a totalitarian regime and it was very, very bloody, much more bloody than the revolution in France, which ended in, you know, guillotines.
00:31:45.000Because this, uh, was, you know, the reign of terror in Russia was beyond anything that you could imagine.
00:33:56.380The false savior and the first revolution.
00:34:00.540So once people identify, uh, the discontent and appeal to that, the totalitarian presents himself as a savior.
00:34:09.540In stage two, the revolutionary totalitarian enacts a dramatic change to solve the problems and discontent, discontent of stage one.
00:34:20.000To find a solution to its debt crisis, the French government called the estate's general assembly to advise the king on what to do.
00:34:29.580Third estate quickly claimed full governmental authority as a national assembly.
00:34:35.260The national assembly wanted to draw up a new constitution that would change the nature of the government to deal with all of the injustices.
00:37:35.720Does any of this ring like you've seen this movie?
00:37:38.620As soon as they gained sway over their countries, the first move of totalitarians like Hitler and Vladimir Lenin was to censor the opposition and put out propaganda.
00:37:50.440Each of the totalitarian leaders also gained control of education and had a secret police force to monitor or even kill anyone designated as an enemy.
00:38:03.300Another strategy was to establish youth organizations to indoctrinate citizens in the state's propaganda from an early age and tear their loyalties away from family or religion.
00:38:17.000Religion was almost universally persecuted once these regimes came to power.
