Transcript
00:00:00.000
It's a great pre-show, if you will, for the New Hampshire primaries.
00:00:05.320
We start off with Ron DeSantis and all the people that are saying,
00:00:09.580
what did he do wrong? How come he didn't do better?
00:00:13.340
I think we have the answer, and it's not one that you're going to hear really elsewhere.
00:00:17.880
We also talk about the economy, what's coming in the economy,
00:00:22.060
what the banking sector is doing, along with the Fed,
00:00:26.140
to really speed up the process of de-dollarization all around the country.
00:00:32.280
But also, we tell you two stories that are unbelievable, that came from this audience.
00:00:39.480
Two things that have really put us at the verge of saying checkmate to ESG and all of that.
00:00:49.260
Another story came out of Florida that we are going to report on today's podcast.
00:00:55.080
You don't want to miss a second of today's podcast.
00:01:00.860
First, Terry wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.
00:01:03.960
He said, I struggled with pain for quite a while from my lower back, up and down my legs.
00:01:08.460
I had heard about Relief Factor, decided to give it a try,
00:01:10.960
and within a couple of weeks, I was totally pain-free.
00:01:14.180
It is incredible to me how many people I have told about Relief Factor.
00:01:18.440
It's just made such a huge difference in my life, and I think you could help others.
00:01:31.100
but 70% of the people who try Relief Factor for their three-week quick start
00:01:39.620

00:02:01.360
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:19.300
So apparently not everybody agrees with us on Nikki Haley.
00:02:25.100
There is one person, and I know who they are, but they left this note on my desk.
00:02:33.180
True confessions of an underground Nikki Haley supporter.
00:02:40.040
I'm writing this from a secure and heavily guarded location.
00:02:44.560
I'm under 24-7 monitoring and protection, kind of like Epstein,
00:02:51.620
There's a lot of debate within the conservative party,
00:02:55.800
the Republican Party typically is open to differing ideas,
00:03:03.140
Apparently, then straight to the gulag with you.
00:03:07.340
I'm writing this anonymously to save my family from embarrassment and ridicule.
00:03:15.840
My name is John Doe, and I am a Nikki Haley supporter.
00:03:24.100
Well, do you know who else was a Democrat up until five minutes ago?
00:03:27.760
The right's favorite loudmouth, Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:03:31.660
Donald Trump was notorious hanging around the Democratic circles
00:03:37.340
And iconic Republican President Ronald Reagan was on the left side as well,
00:03:44.700
Well, no, there's actually, I mean, if you look at the examples you gave,
00:03:49.260
they all started on the left, and then they moved right,
00:03:55.780
Being a Nikki Haley supporter is being like a Dallas Cowboys fan.
00:03:59.660
Everybody hates her for every reason imaginable.
00:04:05.700
You know what she's capable of, but she just won't do it.
00:04:09.700
I know what you can be, Nikki, and I want people to see you how I see you.
00:04:14.060
But don't just help yourself when you appear, but you don't help yourself when you appear wishy-washy
00:04:20.840
You have a successful track record, just like Ron DeSantis does.
00:04:24.940
You started the campaign off strong, just like the Cowboys, but you're choking in the playoffs, Nikki.
00:04:33.020
New Hampshire and South Carolina are yours for the taking now that DeSantis is out.
00:04:42.460
I've been disappointed in you enough this year already.
00:04:46.520
Wow, that's a great endorsement there of Nikki Haley.
00:04:53.080
There's somebody on our staff that show up in Nikki Haley t-shirts all the time.
00:05:01.960
I will say it is a bit extreme to call her a Democrat.
00:05:07.980
She was a good governor in South Carolina generally.
00:05:10.820
Again, I think she's out of step with certain things in the Republican electorate right now.
00:05:18.260
Pat Gray is with us, and he can outline every part of this.
00:05:21.220
But to call her a Democrat is just primary nonsense.
00:05:31.700
Well, the problem is a lot of her support in New Hampshire is coming from Democrats.
00:05:36.980
And a lot of her money is coming from Democrats.
00:05:46.840
But I mean, of Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, who would you have thought six months ago would be among the final two?
00:05:56.840
Honestly, if we really would have looked at it, we would have probably said that it would be Ron DeSantis down to those three.
00:06:06.060
Nikki Haley down to those three if we had really thought about it, because the Ron DeSantis voter is really the Donald Trump voter.
00:06:14.300
None of those people are going to go away from Donald Trump, I think.
00:06:18.300
But I mean, this whole thing, she's still around and she's in second place or whatever, is a little misleading.
00:06:23.760
It's like, you know, John Kasich also quote-unquote finished in second, right?
00:06:27.420
Like, I mean, he didn't finish in second, but he hung around longer than Cruz did.
00:06:30.980
Well, yeah, DeSantis beat her in Iowa, which supposedly punched his ticket to continue.
00:06:36.600
Okay, well, was your ticket revoked six days later?
00:06:41.220
I believe the answer to that was it was revoked by his donors, is what it was.
00:06:44.840
The rumor was he was talking to his donors and his donors said, look, it's not going to happen and we're not going to keep funding this.
00:06:55.100
The Democratic donors are like, yes, we'll continue to fund you.
00:06:59.680
That's the real problem with Nikki Haley, is the donors that are coming from the left.
00:07:05.740
Was it donors or was there some kind of arrangement made with Trump, do you think?
00:07:11.920
Is that possible that Trump has offered him a position, either vice president or some cabinet position, if he gets out right now?
00:07:20.060
First of all, I don't think Ron DeSantis would take the vice president role.
00:07:24.840
I'd love it if he did, but I don't think he would take it if it was offered.
00:07:28.480
I think he should be offered and should accept the AG role right now.
00:07:43.860
He could really root out the deep state and do all the things that, you know, the president, you know, can't necessarily because he can't be involved with justice.
00:07:56.640
There's a lot of candidates for that particular job, too.
00:08:03.720
What about Chris Christie, who's been an attorney general?
00:08:08.800
Wait, why didn't he talk about that during the campaign?
00:08:20.260
Because he said, he came out and he said, I've already selected my running mate and people are not going to be that surprised by my selection.
00:08:30.920
And he said, I don't think it's going to have, you know, that much an effect on the election.
00:08:36.500
I think to me that signals Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
00:09:00.920
We did talk about that little nugget in an article about the vice presidency where it said Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the fact that she waited as long as she did to endorse Trump was, quote, unquote, noticed in the inner circles of Donald Trump.
00:09:22.700
Look, the Kristi Noem, as Donald Trump says often about candidates right out of central casting.
00:09:36.960
No, I just wanted to make sure that that was one of the force.
00:09:44.100
I don't mean this as a knock on Kristi Noem, but the one thing you talk about her as a candidate for the future or as her at the top of the ticket is she's kind of boring.
00:09:54.200
Like, she's not like a particularly, like, engaging.
00:09:58.540
She's smart, but refined and kind of, like, just lays things out.
00:10:06.820
And that's why people talk about Vivek Ramaswamy for this role.
00:10:09.900
Like, Vivek loves being in front of the camera, loves fighting with everybody.
00:10:13.720
And I don't, that's not usually the profile that Trump goes for in these positions.
00:10:22.060
He does not need somebody who has personal problems and names to be dragged out.
00:10:33.500
It's the type of thing that Trump completely can overcome.
00:10:36.720
This is a criticism of Noem, but maybe made by some people.
00:10:41.280
I mean, it kind of puts her in a position where certainly loyalty is more likely in a situation like that.
00:10:48.420
Another person who I think, if you take out the identity politics of this, and you just say, like, we always talk about not caring about skin color or gender, right?
00:10:59.140
If you take all that out, you know, J.D. Vance is a really interesting candidate for that role.
00:11:09.680
Like, it's a somewhat, I mean, I don't think Trump's going to have any trouble.
00:11:22.880
Donald Trump said, you're not, people will not be that surprised when I announce.
00:11:29.420
And it will never really, it will never have that big of an effect on who I choose.
00:11:40.020
And he's going to choose somebody that everybody goes, oh, yeah, that makes sense.
00:11:46.960
Our friend Yaku Boyens is saying that he's hearing Ben Carson being tossed around.
00:12:03.320
I do think that loyalty is going to be the number one thing he thinks about, right?
00:12:10.180
I would be, anyone who you would say, easy test, if you put that person in the same situation
00:12:16.940
as Mike Pence, would they agree with Mike Pence or not?
00:12:19.220
And if the answer is yes, they would agree with Mike Pence, I don't think there's any
00:12:23.760
I just, fundamentally, this is the most life-changing moment in his political career, right?
00:12:29.860
Maybe his entire life that he believes he was wronged at.
00:12:35.640
But, like, you know, if he believes that, why would he choose someone who would go down
00:12:40.380
And I feel like that's going to be his number one.
00:12:44.060
I think it's tough to read the tea leaves with Donald Trump because he likes the drama.
00:12:48.740
The reality show part of him loves him talking to one candidate and, look, it looks like
00:12:53.660
I'm going to fire you, but then I'm going to fire you.
00:12:55.980
Like, he loves doing that, so it's hard to know.
00:12:57.900
When he announces, there will be music, he'll say, and my selection is.
00:13:02.040
And then, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun,
00:13:05.640
dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
00:13:18.380
So anytime he says something like, you're not going to be surprised, like, who knows if
00:13:23.580
he's trying to throw people off the scent, whether he's even made the decision or not.
00:13:27.440
I don't think you can trust anything he says to the media, especially in these moments.
00:13:32.040
But when you look at trying to break it down, you know, I think a lot of these candidates
00:13:35.500
do fall in, I don't, Nikki Haley, to me, doesn't make any sense.
00:13:41.800
The only, the, some of the analysis I've read by people who are, you know, on the inside
00:13:46.860
of the Trump world say the one thing he would do to choose someone like Haley would be if
00:13:53.260
he was convinced it was the only chance he could win.
00:13:55.560
Like, if he got to the plate where he believed he was behind and he saw Haley as overwhelmingly
00:13:59.980
popular and he thought it could bring him across the finish line, he'd pick anyone.
00:14:05.560
No, and she would hurt the diehard Trump supporter.
00:14:08.640
They would be like, come on, man, don't sell out.
00:14:12.320
Who was, I was talking to Dave Marcus, the Dave Marcus, the guy I do the show, Megyn Kelly
00:14:18.860
Oh, it's weird because I do it with Megyn Kelly.
00:14:22.980
Oh, I do it with Dave and Megyn and it's great.
00:14:25.460
And I'm not in the Radio Hall of Fame and you bring that up, you know, twice a day.
00:14:30.640
But he brought up an interesting point, which is there's part of the Trump experience, which
00:14:39.340
He, he, if he believes it's the right thing, he believes his voters will go along with it.
00:14:44.340
Like the whole famous thing about, I'd shoot people on Fifth Avenue and I wouldn't lose
00:14:50.120
And he says, look, if, if, if I think Nikki Haley is the right person, then get on board.
00:14:55.700
And I think that's true if he makes that decision, but I don't think he'd make that decision for
00:14:59.460
any other reason than he believed it was necessary to win, which certainly right now it's not.
00:15:05.780
I mean, he's, he's at his best position in the polls he's been in, in any of his presidential
00:15:11.000
That's one of the reasons why I like Ramaswamy, because there's a new poll out.
00:15:15.840
I'll tell you about this new poll about Gen Z voters and what they're saying right now.
00:15:35.180
So let me give some good news to this fantastic audience.
00:15:40.820
Uh, the, uh, the law that we spoke about, uh, the last time that, um, Justin Haskins was
00:15:48.880
in town in Dallas, we were talking to a Florida representative.
00:15:53.320
Uh, it is working more than a hundred Florida banks, including some huge nationally chartered
00:16:00.300
banks have just signed an agreement with the state that they will not discriminate on the
00:16:08.160
This is one of the main reasons why we wanted this in the first place.
00:16:14.620
I'm going to tweet it out, uh, here in just a minute or so.
00:16:18.160
The legislation behind this is the same that we've been promoting since the great reset book
00:16:27.220
Same, uh, legislation that lawmakers learned about when they came to the summit that we hosted
00:16:35.060
And, uh, it's the same one that I talked about when I was on the, um, on the stage of the
00:16:39.940
pro family legislative conference in November of 2023.
00:16:47.320
Donald Trump has also formally committed on the campaign trail to stopping banks from
00:16:53.540
The whole point of the bill that we were pushing in, uh, in, uh, in Florida.
00:16:57.940
If other States pass bills, like the one in Florida, we will win and destroy ESG.
00:17:07.480
Hopefully I'll have one by the end of the show on how many other States are taking this
00:17:14.360
Donald Trump says he is, is, uh, right with this.
00:17:21.000
The banks are jumping off and they are actually signing, uh, uh, promises that they will not,
00:17:29.560
uh, consider your politics when looking at loans or anything else.
00:17:37.760
And I want to point out, Glenn, this is the second grassroots win that we've heard about
00:17:44.780
And I am so proud of you and everyone in your audience who has been saying, I'm not sure
00:17:51.560
that I can make a difference, but you know, I'm going to try, I'm going to write a letter.
00:17:55.480
I'm going to send some, some comments and whether it's to my state legislator, uh, representative
00:18:01.100
or to my governor or whoever it is, we're seeing that when enough people stand up, they
00:18:08.780
And that should inspire and fire everybody else up to continue this because it is working.
00:18:15.840
And so I'm thrilled by the way that I get to say some, participate in some good news
00:18:21.120
I know, I know, I know, uh, that's going to end soon.
00:18:24.260
Your mood won't improve much, but, uh, but, but I do want to point out what you just said.
00:18:37.620
It a hundred percent started with this audience and it started with you and Marlo Oaks, the
00:18:43.500
treasurer out of Utah who brought to our, brought to our attention, these natural asset companies
00:18:50.160
and the fact that the New York stock exchange had gone to the sec and said, we want to list
00:18:55.780
We want to list these companies who can control and manage natural resources.
00:19:04.040
And so you brought this to everyone's attention.
00:19:06.080
We came up with a template, people from this audience, hundreds of people from this audience
00:19:11.260
came, emailed me personally for that template, sent it in.
00:19:15.800
And there was so much pressure that the sec didn't even get to rule.
00:19:19.660
The New York stock exchange withdrew the rule because of the pressure from patriots, from
00:19:28.700
So now we've got this, we've got the, the ESG, we've got the non-discrimination, we have
00:19:34.980
So certainly lots more work to be done, but everybody should take that moment to take a
00:19:42.320
It doesn't mean you have a party for the rest of the year, but for a quick moment to say,
00:19:47.560
If I participated and if you didn't do it the last time around, next time around, do it
00:19:53.320
the next time because the more people who do it, the more of a chance we have to make
00:19:58.020
So, uh, we're going to get into why this is so critical that you understand the power
00:20:09.560
Um, make sure you're listening next hour because I'm going to show you massive moves now being
00:20:15.540
made, uh, on, uh, silencing voices like ours to alert people like you.
00:20:22.260
So you may have to be the replacement vote, uh, voice to encourage others.
00:20:27.540
Um, it is the digital ghettos are being made right now, and they're going to start putting
00:20:37.480
So Carol, um, let me explain the discount window and see if I have it right.
00:20:44.320
Think of a bunch of windows at a bank where you walk up to windows.
00:20:48.040
The discount window was where banks, uh, they, if they walked into the fed, which is the bank
00:20:55.840
So all those windows, there's bankers at the windows, no people like you.
00:21:00.200
And the discount window was the kind of shameful window at the end that everybody could see.
00:21:09.120
If your bank was in trouble and say, uh, I need to borrow some more money.
00:21:15.100
Cause we're getting a little dicey on our books and all the bankers could look over to see
00:21:23.940
And then they'd say bank of George is in trouble.
00:21:31.000
And so it was shameful and nobody wanted to go up to that discount window.
00:21:49.920
And it's an unfortunate name because the discount window does sound like a place at Nordstrom
00:21:53.880
where you'd maybe get a discount on some good goods, right?
00:21:57.540
But you know, you said it is sort of, um, has a stigma attached to it because within the
00:22:03.060
banking system, within the plumbing, as you noted, banks lend to each other on a regular
00:22:08.720
And if you're in good shape, um, you may go, if you have a liquidity need over a night
00:22:13.800
or for a short term, you may go to another bank and you may get a loan.
00:22:17.320
And that's actually what the Fed funds rate sets that target rate of lending at that we
00:22:22.800
We hear, oh, you know, we're going to go up 50 basis points.
00:22:28.620
The discount window, as you mentioned, is at the Fed.
00:22:34.560
It's actually at a premium to the Fed funds rate because banks who, you know, can't get
00:22:42.000
We've heard the name, uh, the phrase, the Fed is the lender of last resort.
00:22:46.080
And that's if you're in line at that discount window, it's because you've got nowhere else
00:22:51.040
to go in order to get that money for your liquidity.
00:22:54.340
So while that information isn't reported, um, uh, usually on a case by case basis for
00:23:02.360
about two years, you don't know specifically, there's enough detail that participants in
00:23:07.020
the market can infer who's going to those windows.
00:23:10.940
And then also it's a very important market signal because in the aggregate, if we're seeing
00:23:16.820
a lot of loans being taken down via the discount window, which is reported on a regular basis,
00:23:22.680
we can infer that there's trouble in the banking system.
00:23:26.440
So like we did last March, when there was the banking crisis, you saw this huge spike
00:23:32.560
So I think that, that kind of pieces that this all together.
00:23:40.360
So there is a new rule that is being worked on.
00:23:43.940
This had been rumored to be happening for a long time and now it's finally come out and
00:23:48.660
it's between the Fed, the treasury and the, I believe it's the FDIC.
00:23:54.720
And they are planning to say, well, because there's so much, uh, well, actually they're not saying
00:24:01.680
So they're basically saying they're going to introduce a new rule that if you are a bank
00:24:06.800
over a certain size, I think the a hundred billion dollars is the, the assumed, uh, cutoff
00:24:12.280
point that we're going to force you to use the Fed discount window every year on whether
00:24:19.700
you need a loan, whether you don't need a loan, whether you could borrow from another
00:24:26.160
And the reason they think we're so stupid, they say, well, the reason we had this crisis
00:24:33.080
in March wasn't because we had all of these underwater, uh, you know, securities on banks
00:24:40.600
It was because they couldn't figure out how to use the discount window.
00:24:46.000
So this will be like a dress rehearsal or a fire drill.
00:24:50.060
So if you do it on a regular basis, now, you know, and we can avoid the other crisis, which
00:24:58.140
And if you believe that I have a bridge to sell.
00:25:00.560
That is like, that is like the cops saying, uh, yeah, well, uh, we, we've got to fire our
00:25:07.960
guns, you know, uh, at people once in a while, because otherwise if something happens, we won't
00:25:22.060
It seems to me they're forcing these banks to do it.
00:25:29.000
So there is this great newsletter called FX hedge, and they brought this out into the
00:25:34.060
open and sort of surmised the different reasons why this was happening.
00:25:40.020
But like you said, the obvious reason is that they're trying to obfuscate the information
00:25:45.960
They're trying to hide what is going on in the banking system.
00:25:51.760
The only reason why you would force everybody to do it, because of course, if you're part
00:25:56.020
of the Fed system, you're going to know how to use the discount window, right?
00:25:59.320
They're big, big, huge banks, and they can't figure out how to use the discount window.
00:26:04.160
But it also kind of, if you start going down the line, it means that they must think that
00:26:09.480
there's some reason for them having to hide this information, which is the various issues
00:26:15.840
and weakness that we have known for a while remains in the, uh, the banking system.
00:26:21.140
On top of that, uh, this FX hedge newsletter also talked about the idea of consolidation,
00:26:28.420
something that you and I have spoken about a lot within the banking system and centralization.
00:26:33.720
That if the banks are no longer lending to each other and they're now relying on the Fed,
00:26:39.820
this is shifting the banking system away from, you know, more of a quasi-free market to a
00:26:46.120
more Fed-controlled system, which we know is something that we have been concerned about
00:26:52.180
And then, you know, a fourth reason could be these liquidity issues that we're seeing
00:26:57.760
in the treasury market and the need for the Fed to find ways to increase its balance sheet
00:27:04.840
So lots of possible different reasons, but certainly that first hallmark reason that they're trying
00:27:10.340
to hide information and issues within the banking system, um, is just, it's a, not only a head
00:27:22.080
So Carol, there's, there's also something going on that I don't understand.
00:27:26.280
And that is we are now, I guess the U S has proposed that we just take $300 billion of
00:27:42.500
So this is a proposal that is expected to be put forward, um, at the end of February.
00:27:48.820
And it's something we need to keep our eyes on because in the context of the discussions
00:27:53.100
we've been having about de-dollarization and the U S being the global reserve currency,
00:27:59.580
Uh, there are people like Larry Summers, who, as you may remember, was a former treasury
00:28:10.560
And so he's been working with, with some other economist folks in the G seven, and they are
00:28:16.960
exploring ways as a group to figure out how they can legally, uh, take all of the assets
00:28:24.320
or at least $300 billion of the assets that they froze, uh, back when Russia invaded Ukraine.
00:28:29.760
You remember they did this, they weaponized the dollar and it created all sorts of issues
00:28:38.040
Well, now they're trying to justify legally that they have the ability to seize those fully.
00:28:49.040
And what they want to do is they want to give them to Ukraine.
00:28:53.500
They're going to compensate Ukraine in some way, shape or form.
00:28:58.320
I know it totally, it totally doesn't sound like money laundering at all, Glenn.
00:29:02.600
I'm not suggesting that, um, but yeah, so they wanted to use this $300 billion that belongs
00:29:12.960
And so they have been in this working group and it's expected that at the end of February,
00:29:18.340
I think that the date's February 24th, they're going to be in this group and that they are
00:29:24.500
And if you go to, to Larry Summers Twitter, you know, he's talking about, you know, oh,
00:29:29.020
I'm so excited that the G seven's on board with this.
00:29:34.400
This is, I, I, you know, I can't, I can't even believe the, that they're, they're trying
00:29:40.180
to position it this way because obviously when they took the step to freeze the reserve
00:29:46.540
assets, this, in terms of our position as the world reserve currency and the trust of
00:29:55.180
And now if you're somebody who buys food or energy that that's priced in dollars, you're
00:30:00.420
trying to find a workaround, which is why we're, we've been seeing this de-dollarization,
00:30:04.280
why we've been seeing this trade going on from China and other countries in other currencies.
00:30:10.640
And in many cases settled with gold because of this, now they're going to just say, we're
00:30:17.480
going to take them and give them to whoever it is that we want.
00:30:26.360
And somebody in Congress needs to get the fed and the government under control because
00:30:33.440
we cannot do this unless Glenn, and we've talked about this before, this is an entirely
00:30:38.660
intentional way to, you know, get the dollar to continue to topple and not beat the world
00:30:45.440
Let me ask you something, um, on, uh, Jamie Dimon last week, he was at the world economic
00:30:50.300
forum and he came out shockingly, you know, very praiseworthy of Trump saying, you know,
00:30:59.200
Um, people didn't understand what he was doing.
00:31:01.380
I saw this as a way of auditioning for Donald Trump to say, make me your treasury secretary.
00:31:11.280
I'm so glad that you said that because I had some people who went to the JP Morgan healthcare
00:31:16.460
conference, which is their marquee conference in January.
00:31:23.520
Somebody asked him, said, Jamie, would you ever want to be president?
00:31:27.260
And he said, well, I've seen these wonderful business people go in before and run campaigns
00:31:34.440
But, you know, if somebody tapped me on the shoulder, then I would have to rise to the
00:31:39.880
So he is putting the word out in his circle that he is interested in something much higher.
00:31:53.220
Uh, the name of her book is You Will Own Nothing.
00:32:01.940
So there is a new poll out that was conducted on behalf of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity,
00:32:14.440
which divided respondents between elites, people with at least one postgraduate degree,
00:32:21.520
earning more than $150,000 and living in zip codes where the population density exceeds 10,000
00:32:29.680
people per square mile, and then they put everybody else in the general public, okay?
00:32:34.520
So you had to have at least one postgraduate degree, $150,000 job plus, and live in a zip
00:32:50.500
They then recorded the responses of a subset of super elites and elites.
00:32:57.660
Now, the super elites were those who graduated from the prestigious private universities, the
00:33:05.060
Ivy League, Duke, Stanford, Northwestern, and that made you a super elite.
00:33:15.840
It's not going to come as a surprise, but 73% of the upper class, the super elites and the
00:33:26.020
elites consider themselves Democrats and approve of Joe Biden's performance at 84%.
00:33:35.680
So 73% of the super elites and the elites are Democrats, and by 84%, that 73% loves Joe Biden's work.
00:33:54.980
74% of the elites and 88% of the super elites report their personal finances are on the upswing.
00:34:05.760
The bulk of those who remain say they're either unsure or they're getting neither better nor worse.
00:34:12.400
Then there is just a negligible portion of respondents that say their pocketbooks are getting lighter.
00:34:21.840
Compare that to the Americans more generally, the rest of the people in the survey that don't fit into those categories I just explained.
00:34:30.580
It's hard to believe they're living in the same country.
00:34:33.060
We are becoming more and more divided in our country with everything, with absolutely everything.
00:34:42.080
40% of Americans say their financial situation is worsening, and only 20% say it's improving.
00:34:49.600
So those who are elites, they all say it's getting good.
00:35:09.600
The class disproportionately represented in positions of influence don't feel the same economic pain that Americans do, the rest of us.
00:35:22.680
Because, because of that, it makes them less likely to take steps that will alleviate your pain, but will actually make things worse.
00:35:36.480
They're supporting Biden because they're getting richer.
00:35:41.800
So the elites don't see this as really a problem because they're fine.
00:35:48.040
A stunning 77% of elites and 89% of super elites support strict rationing of meat, gas, and electricity.
00:36:24.280
55% and 70% would prevent Americans from engaging in non-essential air travel.
00:36:34.140
47% and 55% believe the government affords Americans too much freedom.
00:36:53.900
The percentage of those who are not elites or super elites that would agree to any of those things is between 16% and 25%.
00:37:04.860
70% of elites, double the number of average Americans, and 89% of super elites say they trust the government to do the right thing.
00:37:17.540
This is not a war against Republicans and Democrats.
00:37:33.600
When you live in, let's say, Manhattan, you're living in, if you're living anywhere near the park, you are not living with real people that understand and look at America the same way.
00:37:50.100
The easiest way to say is New Jersey, which is just across the river, that's like hillbillies and hicks.
00:37:57.320
They don't understand anything until they get to Los Angeles.
00:38:26.300
I mean, God forbid we do anything to London or Paris except get rid of some of the riffraff because those are places we like to go to vacation at.
00:38:44.960
Let me just tell you again that they approve of Joe Biden by about 83%.
00:38:58.940
They support by 77% and 89% of the super elites support the strict rationing of meat, gas, and electricity.
00:39:14.360
70% would prevent Americans from engaging in non-essential air travel.
00:39:21.540
And 55% believe the government affords Americans too much freedom.
00:39:28.000
With that in mind, now let me tell you about Davos.
00:39:39.560
A list that they're creating to demonize sources of sharing so-called disinformation.
00:39:52.740
It is the intent of the author to lie to a group of people to get them to believe something that isn't true.
00:40:11.540
But now they have exclusion lists to demonetize, which means getting rid of all advertising, even banking access, anybody who is sharing so-called disinformation.
00:40:26.480
The president and CEO of Internews, an international nonprofit that provides support to independent media outlets in more than 100 countries, addressing how to prevent the spread of what they consider inaccurate information.
00:40:43.560
They talked and did a talk at the Davos conference panel, and the panel was called Defending Truth.
00:40:52.680
Global trust in institutions is eroding, reflected in how 40% of people consistently trust news, empowering Internet users with media information literacy, advancing information integrity, and enhancing transparency.
00:41:09.100
It's vital for addressing the spread of false information.
00:41:14.300
So the question was, what actions do stakeholders need to take to preserve a healthy trust ecosystem?
00:41:23.720
Now, remember, we're not talking shareholders anymore, because that's you.
00:41:29.840
Those are the elected officials, the CEO of companies, the boards of directors, and the politicians, the global elite.
00:41:49.020
Your vote is when you pick one of these politicians.
00:41:55.760
Now, they said the most effective way to keep people from being exposed to so-called inaccurate information is to develop a list or guides for advertisers that tell them where to and where not to spend.
00:42:13.760
Media Matters used to do this, and all of these lefty organizations, they do it because they threaten boycotts.
00:42:21.540
They say, oh, if you're not with us, then you're against us.
00:42:29.820
If you decide that their audience is worth your time and money, we know that those people are all deplorables.
00:42:44.020
So if you want those people as customers, then we're against you.
00:42:49.000
Now, they are going to the global elites and the governments, and they are now saying to these stakeholders that you don't want to advertise there.
00:43:02.900
The governments are giving people permission to be able to debank.
00:43:08.020
So they put pressure on it and say, you know, this is a person spending a lot of time saying things that just aren't true.
00:43:15.380
Like, I don't know, the jabs may have not been the best of ideas.
00:43:23.000
And if they go to the advertisers and say, you've got to drop your commercials from that show, they'll be debanked if they don't.
00:43:35.840
Disinformation makes money, and we need to follow that money, and we need to work with, in particular, the global advertising community.
00:43:45.640
Those dollars are going to pretty bad content, so you can work really hard on exclusion lists or inclusion lists,
00:43:52.720
but just focus on their ad dollars going to good news and information, the accurate and relevant news and information.
00:44:07.080
They train journalists and digital rights activists.
00:44:11.020
They tackle disinformation and offer business expertise to help media outlets become financially sustainable.
00:44:20.580
The organization aims to eliminate disinformation designed to manipulate elections, distort public debate, incite violence, or undermine public health.
00:44:34.600
We just don't agree on what's true or not, what the public health is.
00:44:39.620
I think by pointing out, hey, you know the testing of that jab?
00:44:46.960
Hey, I think it actually came from a lab that we helped fund in China.
00:44:57.280
Asking questions only leads you closer to the truth.
00:45:05.420
This is a, they say, a national and global security threat this year because of the elections.
00:45:13.800
You need to shore up your credibility with everybody you know.
00:45:18.800
You need to get rid of all of the things in your life that you might have done wrong or are doing wrong.
00:45:27.440
Make amends where you can so you don't have anything to fear.
00:45:40.440
You don't immediately sign on to things that you're like, oh my gosh, here's the silver bullet.
00:45:54.440
You know, the things I tell you, I always, I really want to be wrong.
00:46:05.140
But one thing that disinformation, the real purveyors of disinformation do, will say, don't ask any questions.
00:46:19.560
You should ask questions of not only people you agree with, but people you disagree with.
00:46:26.460
You should ask questions to the deepest questions of yourself.
00:46:31.080
Because if you stop asking and talking to people who differ with you, then you grow arrogant.
00:46:58.620
And people who tell you not to, just to trust them, run from them.
