00:00:00.000 This winter, take a trip to Tampa on Porter Airlines.
00:00:05.460 Enjoy the warm Tampa Bay temperatures and warm Porter hospitality on your way there.
00:00:11.420 All Porter fares include beer, wine, and snacks, and free, fast-streaming Wi-Fi on planes with no middle seats.

00:00:30.000 A remarkable show today again.
00:00:32.020 Oh, gosh, we're so good at what we do.
00:00:35.320 Right?
00:00:35.900 Why don't more people recognize it?
00:00:38.140 I don't know.
00:00:38.780 And for two people that care as little as you and I do, it is incredible what we pull off every day.
00:00:46.460 I mean, wait until we can get to AI to just do the show for us.
00:00:49.340 Like, post-show for three hours saying conservative things, enter, and then we can go home.
00:00:54.660 That'll be a great day.
00:00:55.540 Anyway, we talk about the new list of the greatest and worst presidents of all time.
00:01:06.200 Yeah, I don't, that's not our list.
00:01:08.920 There's a couple of things on there that I think you might disagree.
00:01:11.340 We went through our list.
00:01:12.460 But on tomorrow's podcast, we want you to take a poll.
00:01:18.120 We'll give you all of the details.
00:01:19.920 We're going to take a poll of what your favorite and least favorite president.
00:01:24.480 How do you rank all of them?
00:01:25.900 I don't think we agree with this latest poll from all of the people who are just way too smart.
00:01:35.540 We also talk about the real ramifications of what's happening now in New York.
00:01:41.960 Just today, two other companies said, we're not going to be doing business in New York.
00:01:46.140 We're leaving because of this judgment.
00:01:48.680 This thing could backfire deeply on the progressives in New York City.
00:01:54.600 We also had Stephen Moore on, talk about the economy.
00:01:58.400 He's hysterical.
00:02:00.000 And Carol Roth.
00:02:02.180 And today, you get an extra podcast if you are a Blaze TV subscriber.
00:02:08.260 You'll get it later in your feed.
00:02:10.380 One of these days here in the next couple of days, I'm sure.
00:02:13.160 But if you're a Blaze TV subscriber at 2.30 Eastern Time, live one-on-one with Tucker Carlson,
00:02:20.040 the first interview he's done since he returned from Russia.
00:02:23.240 And I've got a lot of questions for him.
00:02:25.620 We go over some of those questions in today's podcast as well.
00:02:28.880 Brought to you by Jace Medical.
00:02:30.340 I've always said that I will give you the warning signs.
00:02:33.360 I'm going to give it to you as plainly as possible.
00:02:36.800 It is time to finish your preparation.
00:02:39.900 If you are somebody who really knows and has been paying attention,
00:02:44.500 it's time for you to finish your preparation.
00:02:46.700 I cannot give you a stronger warning than that.
00:02:49.320 You need to get on the phone with Jace Medical today.
00:02:54.020 Antibiotics and medicine, I think, is going to be rationed.
00:02:57.860 But we may even have problems with medicine just getting over from China.
00:03:03.480 So I want you to go to JaceMedical.com.
00:03:05.860 Do two things.
00:03:06.560 First, get the antibiotics.
00:03:08.700 You have five different antibiotics in the Jace case.
00:03:11.420 You can have them in your phone in case you can't get them anywhere else.
00:03:14.720 You can have them in your home.
00:03:15.860 Also, they will give you as many of the prescriptions that they can.
00:03:20.800 It will keep your family alive for a year's worth of supply.

00:03:27.140 Here's the podcast.
00:03:27.840 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:44.700 Presidential historian said one of the main driving forces behind President Joe Biden's decision to run for re-election was his lovely wife, Dr. Jill.
00:03:55.420 He noted that both former presidents, Harry Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson, decided to leave office because their wives were like, I've had enough of all of this. 0.94
00:04:05.900 If you look at Lyndon Johnson, it wasn't because of Vietnam.
00:04:09.360 It wasn't because of anything else.
00:04:10.880 He wasn't really healthy, high blood pressure and everything else.
00:04:13.800 And Lady Bird was like, you're going back to Texas.
00:04:16.460 And that's why he didn't run for a second term.
00:04:19.520 It wasn't because he completely destroyed our future economic prospects by all of his programs?
00:04:25.140 No, no, no.
00:04:25.480 It wasn't because of the constant N-words?
00:04:27.300 No.
00:04:27.580 That wasn't it?
00:04:27.960 No, no.
00:04:28.160 Okay, I just want to make sure I understand with Lyndon Johnson why he didn't run.
00:04:31.440 Yeah, no, it wasn't that.
00:04:33.080 And with Truman, he could have run, but his wife, Bess, was like, we got to get out of here.
00:04:43.180 And what's amazing is the two of them got into their old car and drove back to Independence.
00:04:50.920 Drove back themselves.
00:04:52.320 He did.
00:04:52.980 What a difference there was.
00:04:55.980 And he had never been on the highway system before.
00:04:59.000 The highways were just starting, and he was like, I've got to try out some of these highways.
00:05:04.620 And so he did.
00:05:05.800 Look at the way our presidents live in luxury now for the rest of their lives.
00:05:11.300 So the presidential historian said that she doesn't want to go because she has just started to teach in Virginia Community College.
00:05:26.760 And that's her home.
00:05:29.000 And she likes it.
00:05:30.300 And she said she's been taking all of the slings and arrows of the last year's attacks.
00:05:37.720 And she's been taking it on the chin, and she's put up with so much.
00:05:43.980 This historian actually said that at the last minute, just when you get all the delegates, you're going to say, I'm going to open it up to a bunch of people?
00:05:55.620 No.
00:05:56.100 No.
00:05:56.780 She wants, get this, she wants to stay.
00:06:00.540 She wants some sense of revenge. 0.98
00:06:05.280 Revenge on who?
00:06:07.000 And isn't revenge, aren't we, isn't everybody saying to Donald Trump, he'll just be about revenge?
00:06:14.780 What the hell is going on here?
00:06:16.040 And this, I mean, to me, this shows elder abuse.
00:06:21.100 It shows they don't care.
00:06:23.860 None of them care about the husband, the father, the grandfather.
00:06:28.260 None of them care.
00:06:29.120 It's just about them.
00:06:32.280 It's crazy.
00:06:33.720 It's absolutely crazy.
00:06:35.300 And he's going to lose, which just makes me think Michelle Obama.
00:06:40.960 No, you're not taking my $1,000.
00:06:45.140 Oh, my gosh.
00:06:47.060 Yeah.
00:06:47.820 I mean, you mentioned Nate Silver's analysis of this, which is pretty thorough.
00:06:51.580 And he, again, is not like some Trump supporter.
00:06:54.320 He's a guy who wants the Democrats to run a good candidate.
00:06:57.880 He said, if you asked me a year ago, I would have told you Joe Biden was a reasonably clear favorite in the event of a rematch against Donald Trump.
00:07:04.160 But Biden's situation has become considerably worse.
00:07:07.920 If he were 10 years younger, he still might be a 65-35 favorite.
00:07:13.080 But in this campaign, he is substantially encumbered by his age.
00:07:18.020 Personally, I crossed the Rubicon in November, concluding that Biden should stand down if he wasn't able to run a normal re-election campaign, meaning like little things like the Super Bowl interview.
00:07:28.980 It's remarkable he didn't do that.
00:07:30.660 I know.
00:07:30.980 Remarkable.
00:07:31.340 Like, it's just an incredible opportunity.
00:07:34.800 It would be easy.
00:07:36.400 It's not like he would probably be able to pick the person who interviewed him.
00:07:41.360 Right?
00:07:41.880 Like, it would be as easy as it can be.
00:07:46.160 And he refused to do it in front of the largest audience in the world.
00:07:49.020 It's like the, you know, the Macy's Day Parade interview they always do with the president.
00:07:53.960 What are you going to have to eat today?
00:07:56.640 You know, it's that kind of stuff.
00:07:57.840 I mean, you'd expect it to be slightly tougher than that, but not much, not for the media, especially when they want him desperately to win.
00:08:06.060 Right?
00:08:06.500 Like, if you're cheering on a particular candidate, you're likely to get a favorable interview.
00:08:13.300 And they still wouldn't go with it.
00:08:15.240 So, Nate Silver, at the end of this analysis, which is worth reading, but at the end, he just asks for the challenge.
00:08:21.540 Did you read the challenge part of this article at the end?
00:08:23.760 No.
00:08:24.280 He says, a simple challenge to the White House.
00:08:26.600 Could I or other critics and 75% of Americans be wrong about this age issue?
00:08:30.840 Sure.
00:08:31.200 I'm wrong about a lot of things.
00:08:32.680 But if we're wrong about this, it ought to be easy to prove it.
00:08:35.000 Here's what I propose.
00:08:36.580 Over the course of the next several weeks, Biden should do four lengthy sit-down interviews with non-friendly sources.
00:08:43.780 Non-friendly doesn't mean hostile.
00:08:45.780 Non-partisan reporters with a track record of asking tough questions would work great.
00:08:49.920 A complete recording of the interview should be made public.
00:08:52.560 The interviews ought to include a mix of different media.
00:08:55.900 For instance, Biden could pick these four.
00:08:58.100 One, a lengthy sit-down interview with the Washington bureaus of the New York Times or Washington Post.
00:09:02.600 Just like every, even like Donald Trump was doing those interviews with Maggie Haberman, right?
00:09:07.860 Yes.
00:09:08.420 Two, an interview with 60 Minutes, making up for the interview Biden ought to have given to CBS during the Super Bowl.
00:09:14.920 Okay.
00:09:15.700 Three, an interview with some sort of center-right print or digital outlet.
00:09:19.460 This could be, say, the Wall Street Journal op-ed page or even a team of writers at the Dispatch.
00:09:24.100 Four, wildcard.
00:09:25.280 Take your pick.
00:09:26.020 Bonus points for Fox News, though I doubt Biden would do it.
00:09:28.340 Go on Ezra Klein's podcast, go on Rogan, you know, etc.
00:09:33.700 Those are four super basic things that a person running for president of the United States should be able to do without thinking about it, right?
00:09:43.800 Yes.
00:09:44.160 These are not big asks by Nate Silver.
00:09:47.200 These are things that just show this man has the competence level to handle basic questioning.
00:09:52.740 With the exception of Rogan, would be out there, but that was Arsenio Hall.
00:10:00.420 I mean, that's what Clinton broke the barrier.
00:10:03.220 He said, I'm not just going to sit with the big news people.
00:10:06.300 I'm going to sit with people that people actually listen to, watch, or admire.
00:10:10.780 Right.
00:10:11.120 Okay?
00:10:12.060 So Clinton did that. 1.00
00:10:13.660 And I think pretty much every president has done that.
00:10:16.920 I mean, Donald Trump went on to The Tonight Show and had him mess up his hair.
00:10:20.920 Right.
00:10:21.340 You know?
00:10:21.660 And that was more of a, you know, a fun, like, and Rogan goes back and forth, right?
00:10:25.220 He has some serious stuff.
00:10:26.420 He has some funny stuff.
00:10:27.300 Or if you want to just go to someone independent, like a Barry Weiss or, you know, Michael Schellenberger or somebody who would just be independent.
00:10:34.640 Right?
00:10:35.060 Like, ask some questions that maybe were out of the mainstream that he wasn't getting from everybody else.
00:10:38.780 Like, I think that, those are basic things anyone running for president should be able to do those things without question.
00:10:44.560 I would do an interview, a straight interview with him, and I would only ask questions about his success or failure.
00:10:52.580 I wouldn't, I wouldn't slant it.
00:10:54.540 I wouldn't play gotcha.
00:10:55.840 Nothing.
00:10:57.080 Tell me about binomics and why it's working.
00:10:59.720 And I would go down into the weeds.
00:11:02.120 Yeah.
00:11:02.820 And show why it's not working.
00:11:04.560 And show why it's not working.
00:11:06.400 But let him answer for it.
00:11:07.120 And he can't, he wouldn't be able to go.
00:11:09.880 There's no way he could do 45 minutes with me.
00:11:12.880 There's no way.
00:11:13.380 Oh, God, no.
00:11:14.020 And me saying, with both my arms tied behind my back, not trying to do gotcha or anything, he could not handle a 45-minute interview with me, a recovering alcoholic DJ.
00:11:28.240 Come on.
00:11:29.080 You're right.
00:11:29.680 Come on.
00:11:29.900 He wouldn't even consider it.
00:11:33.400 Remember, Barack Obama did one of those Super Bowl interviews with Bill O'Reilly.
00:11:38.320 Yeah, I know.
00:11:39.720 Like, this is not a foreign concept.
00:11:42.540 Everybody who runs for president is expected to be able to answer some tough questions.
00:11:47.600 This guy has done almost none of them.
00:11:49.500 Did you see, and I think it's in this article, where they talk about, here we go.
00:11:54.580 Biden has done fewer interviews than any recent president, and it's not close.
00:11:58.480 By this point in their presidencies, Barack Obama had given more than 400 interviews, and Trump had given more than 300.
00:12:05.300 Biden has given fewer than 100.
00:12:08.480 And a bunch of them are softball interviews on Conan O'Brien's podcast or Jay Shetty's mindfulness podcast.
00:12:14.720 He's not even doing this job.
00:12:23.440 Is anyone noticing this?
00:12:25.180 The man is not even doing the job.
00:12:27.980 I love it.
00:12:28.500 I love it when Stu expresses what I express about two hours earlier when I'm reading the news, and that is,
00:12:35.900 I can't.
00:12:41.100 We all do that now.
00:12:42.420 It's like, I put it, I can't, it's incredible.
00:12:47.140 Like, I just can't believe we're in this situation where we have someone who, again, the number in this poll was 75%.
00:12:54.800 We've seen it as high as 86% are saying that he's too old to do his job.
00:12:59.600 Yeah, I know.
00:13:00.000 We all look at this and understand what's happening.
00:13:03.400 And we're like, let, it's like, hey, we're driving 85.
00:13:07.200 Is that a big stone wall in the middle of the highway?
00:13:10.860 Should we accelerate?
00:13:13.120 What should we do?
00:13:13.900 Should we get off this exit?
00:13:14.960 There's a McDonald's right here at the highway pass.
00:13:19.040 We could just go through, get a couple burgers, or we could just gun it at the stone wall that is just somehow in the middle of the highway.
00:13:26.540 You know what?
00:13:26.900 I think maybe we could get him to accept this.
00:13:29.300 Coffee and cars with comedians and the current president.
00:13:34.300 But he has to drive to the coffee shop.
00:13:37.780 No, you're going to kill somebody.
00:13:40.540 You can't put that man on the road.
00:13:42.080 Yeah, I mean, so we have a virtual Jerry in the car.
00:13:45.280 Right, okay.
00:13:45.960 We don't want to kill Jerry Seinfeld.
00:13:47.560 No.
00:13:47.700 But no one would give this man the keys to their car.
00:13:51.380 If he came over to your house and he said, you know what, I'm driving home.
00:13:55.920 I'm just going to drive home.
00:13:57.440 In his car, we would all say, no, no, no, no, no.
00:14:01.400 No, you're not.
00:14:01.960 No, you're not.
00:14:02.240 We'd act like he was drunk.
00:14:04.100 We would act the same way so if he came over and had five or six cocktails in an hour.
00:14:08.100 We would act like we act with our grandparents.
00:14:12.420 Okay?
00:14:12.940 That's what we would do.
00:14:13.960 We would act the same way we act with our grandparents when they hit that point.
00:14:20.120 No, Grandpa, you can't drive.
00:14:23.040 And everybody in America, on all sides, this is not political, on all sides, we know that.
00:14:30.260 We know it.
00:14:32.680 But we're giving him, not the keys to our car, we're giving him the keys to the nuclear briefcase.
00:14:39.540 Oh, my God.
00:14:40.580 Okay?
00:14:41.100 And asking him to micromanage a war between Russia and Ukraine.
00:14:47.060 Like, that couldn't spiral out of control and get us involved in it.
00:14:49.720 Well, no, I mean, the only thing that could be worse is, like, you know, something between, I don't know, Iran and Israel. 0.98
00:14:57.140 Or China and us.
00:14:58.800 Right, man.
00:14:59.180 I mean, look at what's happening.
00:15:01.300 Seriously.
00:15:01.620 The guy, we would never let him drive a car.
00:15:04.960 Never.
00:15:06.080 Never.
00:15:06.780 The only thing that saves fellow drivers is that his Corvette is so packed with boxes of documents, he can't get into it to drive it.
00:15:12.520 Here's what I would, here's what, here's all my interview would be.
00:15:15.500 I've reviled.
00:15:16.120 Yeah, I'm not going to ask him about anything.
00:15:17.740 No more binomics now?
00:15:19.060 Nope.
00:15:19.360 I'm going to sit him in a driver-simulated, you know, car.
00:15:23.160 You know those cars that look just like you're in it and you can feel it moving.
00:15:26.380 You can feel it moving.
00:15:27.060 I'm going to have him do a couple of laps in that.
00:15:32.280 And let's see how competent he is, okay?
00:15:35.520 If he can't drive a computer-simulated car, and I would use a real car, but as Stu said, he'd probably kill people.
00:15:45.380 Mm-hmm.
00:15:48.140 And the entire news media would unite to say, well, George Washington couldn't drive a car either!
00:15:53.100 Okay, more from the podcast here in just a second.
00:15:57.760 Our economy is dominated by businesses that cater to a mob.
00:16:03.020 That's it.
00:16:04.180 If your mobile service is with one of the big guys, chances are pretty good your money is going to the things that the mob believes in that you don't.
00:16:13.800 That's why I love Patriot Mobile.

00:17:06.120 Now back to the podcast.
00:17:09.740 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:17:14.780 Carol Roth, a former New York Wall Street banker who woke up and went, who am I?
00:17:23.020 What am I?
00:17:23.780 Am I on the wrong side?
00:17:26.540 And she has done an awful lot of good.
00:17:29.860 She's the author now of You Will Own Nothing, former investment banker.
00:17:34.260 I have her on because I want to talk to her about BlackRock's new voting system.
00:17:39.300 But she has a couple of things I want to let you know.
00:17:42.120 First, she has a new newsletter out, carolroth.com slash news.
00:17:47.200 Sign up for it, carolroth.com slash news.
00:17:51.040 Carol, I wanted to start with you because you are a former New York investment banker.
00:17:56.280 What is the fallout going to be on this Donald Trump conviction and $355 million fine?
00:18:08.680 Never been done before.
00:18:09.980 Not even with the Gambino crime family.
00:18:12.520 They never did this.
00:18:14.120 Yeah.
00:18:14.220 Okay, so I'm just going to correct San Francisco investment banker because I don't want to lump
00:18:17.860 myself in with all of those New York investment bankers.
00:18:20.800 Like that's any better.
00:18:23.500 So the implications of this are horrifying for everybody who is in business.
00:18:33.120 When you think about presenting your company in the best light, whether it is a startup firm,
00:18:41.420 a venture capital firm, a private equity firm, real estate holdings, any publicly or privately
00:18:48.680 held company that has adjusted EBITDA, they are saying, here's what we think the business
00:18:56.140 is, but we're going to put this in the best light.
00:18:58.960 And what this particular judgment has done, in my opinion, has said, even if somebody hasn't
00:19:05.060 gotten hurt, even if the bank that you've presented this to or the investors said, hey,
00:19:09.860 we made a ton of money, we're not a counterparty to the suit, that the state can come in and
00:19:16.160 say, well, we don't think this is right.
00:19:18.300 We've done our own calculations.
00:19:20.260 We've seen that you have some numbers that you got wrong here.
00:19:24.320 And we're going to charge you with fraud civilly, not criminally, civilly, and then put
00:19:30.640 in some insane judgment that is basically like sticking your finger in the air and seeing
00:19:36.000 which way the wind blows, because there is no actual damages.
00:19:40.300 The bank has said that they were not victimized, that they made a ton of fees.
00:19:46.180 And so who really is the counterparty here?
00:19:50.040 They're saying that there was some sort of ill-gotten gain.
00:19:52.420 They made this up.
00:19:53.820 And this has an incredibly disturbing implication for any business.
00:19:59.360 If this is the standard, then basically I would say every business in the United States, somebody
00:20:05.560 needs to be thrown in jail and assessed hundreds of millions of dollars, because this happens
00:20:10.500 throughout all of business.
00:20:12.820 I will tell you, if Elon Musk was still in California, I bet he'd be shaking in his boots,
00:20:17.960 because if this can happen in New York, it could happen in California.
00:20:21.660 And they're already going after him with all kinds of stuff.
00:20:26.080 Even if you're on the right side currently, if your company ever falls against the state
00:20:32.620 on anything, you're opening up yourself for the end.
00:20:37.820 I mean, how much of an impact will this have on businesses being and locating themselves in
00:20:45.300 New York?
00:20:45.640 Well, that's the interesting question, because everybody thinks that it can't happen to them.
00:20:51.960 Oh, it's Donald Trump.
00:20:53.360 He's done all of these things that we've heard about in the media.
00:20:56.900 This can never happen to me.
00:20:58.860 And there's a lot of ego and a lot of hubris, particularly with the financial services and
00:21:04.120 other companies that are based in New York City.
00:21:06.720 We have seen some level of exodus based on crime, taxes and other decisions.
00:21:12.640 So obviously, the ones who have been savvy have already gotten out of there or started
00:21:17.260 to decouple from New York.
00:21:19.540 But I think that when something like this happens, they see this big personality and they say,
00:21:27.540 it can't happen to me.
00:21:29.280 But why not?
00:21:30.780 Why can't it happen to you?
00:21:32.040 If you go against whatever the narrative is, if you go against the state and you say something
00:21:38.500 that they don't like, this is, as we've talked about before, sort of a soft form of social
00:21:44.480 credit.
00:21:45.080 You are not aligned with what we want.
00:21:47.300 So we are going to find ways to penalize you financially.
00:21:51.580 It's terrible.
00:21:51.860 And it is absolutely terrifying.
00:21:54.600 All right.
00:21:54.980 So let me talk to you here.
00:21:57.060 We have about six minutes here to talk about this.
00:22:00.060 Justin Haskins, who is my co-writer of my book, we talk about ESG and all of this stuff
00:22:09.500 all the time, go back and forth.
00:22:11.700 He's much, if you think I'm a pessimist, he's even more of a pessimist.
00:22:17.820 But he wrote to me the other day and he's like, Glenn, this is great news.
00:22:21.160 The US ESG bills and the European ESG collapse and now companies are getting out.
00:22:27.820 Even BlackRock says they're getting out of it.
00:22:29.880 And I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, we're entering the time of an election.
00:22:35.520 And this is also what every progressive institution does.
00:22:41.640 They are exposed.
00:22:43.580 Oh, we're not going to do that with your gas stove.
00:22:46.740 And then they do it anyway in another form.
00:22:50.460 Are you, I mean, we should celebrate that we have them on the ropes, but we cannot let
00:22:56.500 the pressure up.
00:22:57.100 We have to pursue them because they're trying to make an escape.
00:23:01.460 Yeah, I think this is the absolute perfect analogy.
00:23:04.360 And I know, Justin, we have some conversations offline as well about all of this stuff.
00:23:09.280 And I do think there are a lot of things to celebrate because of the work that you and
00:23:13.660 Justin have done, Glenn, your audience has done in raising awareness, some of the state
00:23:19.040 level leadership.
00:23:20.300 We are seeing a lot of shifts happening.
00:23:23.860 We saw JP Morgan, PIMCO, State Street all extract themselves from the Climate 100 Plus
00:23:31.620 Pledge, which is basically financial institutions cracking down on companies and trying to push
00:23:38.000 them into this ESG, these directives.
00:23:41.400 And so we just saw that happen this week.
00:23:43.920 And part of that is because they are afraid of the legislation and being hit with lawsuits.
00:23:50.920 In fact, BlackRock, which shifted from the U.S. being part of it to just Europe being part of it,
00:23:57.240 within they said they cited lawsuits, potential lawsuits as one of the concerns.
00:24:02.040 So this is, you know, coming from the New York Times, coming from the mainstream media, they
00:24:05.420 are scared, but it's not enough.
00:24:08.320 And, you know, that goes back to this new BlackRock voting initiative, proxy voting initiative,
00:24:13.860 where they don't want to be the ones to take the blame and say, well, we're not pushing
00:24:18.700 this.
00:24:19.280 You're voting for it.
00:24:20.580 Right.
00:24:20.960 Instead of, you know, going ahead and giving you the ultimate choice on how to vote, they're
00:24:27.040 going to give you options.
00:24:28.260 But of their options, almost all of them have to do, I know this is going to shock you, Glenn,
00:24:33.440 with climate or climate impact or environment or social.
00:24:38.100 I know it's a social responsibility.
00:24:40.140 So I could have Soviet communism, Chinese communism, or North Korean communism, but I can choose.
00:24:51.020 I can choose.
00:24:51.320 You get a pick.
00:24:51.900 Got it.
00:24:52.340 All right.
00:24:53.120 Wow.
00:24:53.480 That's quite a choice.
00:24:56.280 So go ahead.
00:24:57.640 Oh, I was going to say, and it's the way they're doing it is, is obviously they've
00:25:01.700 been paying attention to your program because they're trying to really manipulate you in
00:25:06.440 one direction or another.
00:25:07.940 They have this one choice that's called the ISS Catholic faith-based policy.
00:25:14.480 So you're going, oh, okay, that's great.
00:25:16.400 That's going to be aligned potentially with my values and patriotic values.
00:25:20.300 But what they say is, quote, that it's aligned with social responsibility and, quote, the
00:25:25.780 active ownership and investment philosophies of, I'm sorry, broadly consistent with the
00:25:31.620 objectives of socially responsible shareholders, as well as the teachings of Catholicism and
00:25:36.720 Christianity.
00:25:37.140 Christianity, and then they talk about, first, you know, social, environmental impact.
00:25:41.200 Social justice.
00:25:42.260 Yeah, that they're going along with, you know, the social and environmental philosophies of
00:25:47.560 Catholic-based teaching.
00:25:48.820 Yeah.
00:25:49.020 I mean, they're really trying to make sure that you don't read this and say, oh, this is going
00:25:54.480 to be aligned with my values.
00:25:55.720 But they're just pushing this in a different way to manipulate you.
00:25:58.680 So now they can say that you're the one that voted for this.
00:26:02.000 Unbelievable.
00:26:02.860 So damn evil.
00:26:05.160 It is.
00:26:05.600 I'm looking at all of the things that are happening, like the farmers, you know, that's kind of
00:26:11.780 calmed down now over in Europe because the politicians said, you know what?
00:26:16.160 You're right.
00:26:17.380 You're right.
00:26:17.780 We're not going to push those things.
00:26:19.060 We're going to hold.
00:26:19.900 We're going to hold.
00:26:20.560 There's an election coming up this summer.
00:26:22.580 Yeah.
00:26:22.880 And after the election, we'll bring that back up.
00:26:24.940 But I think you're right.
00:26:26.200 And I think these farmers just might be dumb enough to think that they won.
00:26:31.280 But they didn't win.
00:26:32.740 You cannot.
00:26:34.260 This is like, you know, any good war strategy.
00:26:38.200 You cannot let them regroup, fall back and regroup someplace else.
00:26:45.080 You must pursue them at some point because they're going to keep doing it over and over.
00:26:51.360 They'll just pop up someplace else or under a different name or another new way to manipulate
00:26:57.980 the reality.
00:26:59.380 And you have to if you don't pursue them, you have to start all over again.
00:27:03.900 Yes.
00:27:04.100 Well, the farmers have obviously been very brave and they have been leading the way.
00:27:08.840 And yeah, I think that they may have won the battle, but they haven't won the war.
00:27:13.860 There was an article that came out in the Financial Times this morning about here in the U.S.
00:27:18.660 about the amount of investment dollars that keeps increasing in terms of buying up farmland
00:27:24.800 and that the average age of farmers here in the United States is 58.
00:27:28.820 I would imagine that there are similar demographics and issues going on around the world.
00:27:33.940 So, you know, they may be placating and saying, OK, we're going to drop this.
00:27:38.760 But we know through the fight against natural asset companies, you know, some of these other
00:27:44.060 proposals that are coming to the table and things that they keep moving around that they're
00:27:47.900 finding other ways to achieve their objectives.
00:27:51.240 I think the good news is, is that we are having an impact, whether it's the farmers, whether
00:27:56.340 it's the listeners here using their voice.
00:27:59.160 But I know it seems exhausting, but you've got to devote some part of every week to advocacy
00:28:06.280 because we're in a situation where you could, like you said, you cannot let up there on
00:28:10.200 the ropes.
00:28:10.820 But if you let them get that second win, they're going to come back and, you know, go back at
00:28:15.480 you with some jabs and a right hook.
00:28:18.080 Carol Roth, thank you so much.
00:28:19.960 God bless.
00:28:20.280 We'll talk to you again soon.
00:28:21.660 Carol Roth, the author of You Will Owe Nothing.
00:28:23.700 She also has her new newsletter out.
00:28:26.360 You can find it at carolroth.com slash news.
00:28:30.520 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:28:38.060 All righty.
00:28:39.240 So what's going to solve our problems here?
00:28:44.280 Well, let me give you this story.
00:28:46.640 Russian police investigate alleged LGBTQ propaganda at My Little Pony event.
00:28:53.760 Yeah.
00:28:54.680 Finally.
00:28:55.460 Yeah.
00:28:55.780 Police in Moscow were called to investigate an event dedicated to the cartoon series, My
00:29:02.380 Little Pony.
00:29:04.740 Bronies? 0.94
00:29:06.060 Well, yeah.
00:29:06.960 Are these bronies?
00:29:07.400 Bronies were there. 0.99
00:29:08.280 Yeah.
00:29:09.120 The event, the Myanmar Convention, was shut down by organizers early on Saturday after officers
00:29:16.000 arrived at the venue.
00:29:17.560 Police were unable to find any evidence of LGBTQ plus propaganda at the event, which was considered
00:29:25.080 an illegal activity in Russia.
00:29:28.100 The police received a complaint complaining that our event promoted non-traditional relationships
00:29:32.960 and related symbols, adult contents for minors, and general horror and darkness, event organizers
00:29:40.420 wrote on the Russian social media.
00:29:42.960 Two police checks did not uphold these complaints.
00:29:46.900 My Little Pony is a toy line and media franchise developed by the company Hasbro.
00:29:52.720 The Moscow event was dedicated to the cartoon series, which focuses on the power of friendship
00:29:59.380 and targeted to an audience under the age of 10.
00:30:03.640 Although the convention catered to its many adult fans, the logo of the convention in the
00:30:09.780 Russian capital was a pony with a mane styled in the colors of the Russian flag, not the 0.61
00:30:15.220 rainbow.
00:30:15.600 My Little Pony has prompted anxiety in Russia as the count of the country's authorities cracked
00:30:22.180 down on the local LGBTQ plus community with Russian movie database, changing the cartoon 0.98
00:30:30.260 series rating to an adult only 18 plus in December, 2023.
00:30:36.580 In November, 2023, a Russian court declared the global LGBTQ plus movement an extremist organization.
00:30:47.640 Since then, at least three people have been arrested and served time in prison for displaying
00:30:52.980 rainbow colored items.
00:30:54.760 Because my understanding of the brony culture, and perhaps you can jump into this a little
00:31:02.880 more deeply than I can, but like, it's been essentially adopted by some of the LGBTQQIA2 plus
00:31:10.240 community.
00:31:11.300 Hey, stand in line.
00:31:12.320 Noah's first in that line.
00:31:14.080 But like, My Little Pony itself is just a cartoon for little girls, basically.
00:31:20.380 Or so they'd have you think.
00:31:21.460 I mean, maybe they have embraced this.
00:31:23.460 They're like, hey, look, we're getting extra people buying our crap.
00:31:26.040 Like, let's debrief.
00:31:27.140 But generally speaking.
00:31:28.180 This is part of that LGBTQ propaganda. 0.99
00:31:31.220 They must censor this show quickly.
00:31:33.360 I just feel like maybe, I don't, again, if just because some other group is utilizing
00:31:42.560 this material doesn't necessarily mean that's what the material is designed for.
00:31:46.260 Okay, so let me ask you, is this how you want to solve problems going forward?
00:31:56.040 As we look at, well, here, can we go to SOT1, I believe it is.
00:32:05.840 Yes.
00:32:06.520 Listen to this, SOT1, local report from Houston.
00:32:09.960 These videos are disturbing, and store managers and employees tell us that this same man has
00:32:16.480 been accused of doing the same thing at other antique shops in the area.
00:32:20.700 But employees here at Antique Gallery say he didn't buy or steal anything, but they're
00:32:25.540 hoping he'll be caught.
00:32:28.080 Cameras capture this man in a kilt, looking around an antique booth.
00:32:33.540 He grabs an item off a shelf.
00:32:35.900 He's then seen walking behind a birdcage.
00:32:38.640 He appears to put the item under his kilt before putting it back on a shelf.
00:32:43.600 Another camera shows a woman walking into a booth.
00:32:46.800 The man comes up to her, whispers in her ear, then leaves.
00:32:50.600 He appears to grab another item off the shelf and puts it under his kilt, once again, returning
00:32:56.120 the item.
00:32:56.940 More cameras capture the man, repeating the disturbing acts.
00:33:00.660 What did they do with those products?
00:33:03.540 They threw them away, mostly.
00:33:06.320 Golden hopes the man doesn't come back.
00:33:10.060 Yeah, so am I.
00:33:11.400 First of all, that wasn't a kilt.
00:33:13.820 That isn't a kilt.
00:33:15.100 That was a little schoolgirl dress. 0.90
00:33:17.640 Okay?
00:33:18.040 And he was inserting these items into orifices under the skirt.
00:33:26.560 Okay?
00:33:27.120 Hmm.
00:33:27.420 Now, what do we do about that?
00:33:34.420 What's this caused by?
00:33:36.100 I think you just burn the store down.
00:33:37.620 If I'm the owner of that store, I'm just burning it to the ground after that incident.
00:33:40.880 I gotta tell you, it makes me not want to walk into any antique store again.
00:33:44.320 Or any other store.
00:33:45.600 Right.
00:33:45.960 People are weird.
00:33:46.980 Okay?
00:33:47.200 So, I believe that the news anchor there, KPRC, it's the NBC station in Houston, either
00:33:59.860 has no concept of Scotland at all, and doesn't have any idea that that's not a kilt.
00:34:08.060 Kilts look very, very specific.
00:34:10.460 That's a little schoolgirl dress. 0.99
00:34:12.780 Okay?
00:34:13.000 Is that what, I mean, when I think schoolgirl dress, I'm thinking like a plaid, like-
00:34:17.380 And that's plaid.
00:34:18.400 Was it plaid?
00:34:18.940 It looked just green.
00:34:19.800 It was black and white plaid.
00:34:22.240 Okay?
00:34:22.860 And see, those aren't folds.
00:34:24.420 Those are little waves of the skirt.
00:34:26.900 Okay?
00:34:27.660 That's a skirt. 1.00
00:34:28.820 That is a skirt. 1.00
00:34:29.900 Yeah, I wouldn't describe that as a kilt.
00:34:31.780 In Texas, you know, a guy wearing a kilt kind of stands out.
00:34:38.140 Now, maybe in New York, definitely in Scotland, no.
00:34:42.000 No.
00:34:42.420 Okay?
00:34:43.200 But a kilt is different than a skirt.
00:34:47.520 We are now embracing guys and turning a blind eye to guys who are in skirts. 0.91
00:34:55.420 That's okay.
00:34:56.520 That's all right.
00:34:57.560 That's okay.
00:34:58.800 Why?
00:34:59.920 Because your sexual perversion is okay.
00:35:02.980 It's okay.
00:35:03.460 I want to dress like a little schoolgirl, and I'm a 45-year-old bald man.
00:35:09.020 Okay, come on in.
00:35:11.060 We've lost all shame, and we've lost all perspective on right and wrong.
00:35:19.820 Our whole society has been perverted.
00:35:22.960 Now, the reason why I bring this up here is because Vladimir Putin would use the government
00:35:29.860 and muscle to make sure none of that's going on.
00:35:34.080 I don't want stormtroopers in the streets.
00:35:36.860 Now, this guy, I would like him to be arrested if, you know, he is found.
00:35:42.260 The story ends with him, the story, what do you hope happens to him?
00:35:46.160 I just hope he doesn't come back.
00:35:48.180 What?
00:35:48.420 No, I would like the guy to go to jail or at least pay some fine.
00:35:53.140 I don't know what law he's breaking by sticking things up his butt and putting them back on
00:35:58.140 the shelf, but there's got to be something.
00:36:00.100 I'm sure there is.
00:36:01.320 You're not allowed to do that.
00:36:02.280 You know, someday this society, if we remain free, someday there will be an old law on the
00:36:08.600 books that was put in around 2025, and it was don't insert things into your butt and put 0.83
00:36:15.720 it back on the shelf.
00:36:16.700 And people will look at that and go, those were crazy days, like no spitting while tying
00:36:22.880 your horse to the saloon.
00:36:24.880 It'll look like that.
00:36:25.780 It'll date us because this is when America lost her mind. 1.00
00:36:31.060 I don't want goon squads.
00:36:34.680 I don't want what's in Russia.
00:36:36.900 I've never wanted that.
00:36:39.740 But if you don't have any right or wrong in your society, and your society, the major organs
00:36:51.100 of it, the media, the news media, film industry, and your government does not have some sort
00:37:04.500 of moral lines there on what's right and wrong.
00:37:08.500 If your educational system is saying, hey, there's no such thing as right and wrong, you cannot
00:37:16.100 have a civilization.
00:37:18.180 This is what happens.
00:37:19.480 Now, I never thought we would have to have a law against guys dressing up as little school
00:37:28.780 girls and putting items off the shelf into their orifice and then putting them back on 1.00
00:37:35.240 the shelf.
00:37:35.620 I never thought we would have that problem.
00:37:38.620 So why are we having that now?
00:37:40.440 Well, there's a few things that have changed.
00:37:56.280 I think the biggest thing is shame has been turned into fame.
00:38:04.940 We have lost our moral compass.
00:38:07.460 We don't even have a compass anymore.
00:38:08.960 We don't know what direction.
00:38:11.300 We're in the woods.
00:38:12.200 We have no direction where we're headed.
00:38:15.260 Could be a happy place.
00:38:17.180 Could be a cliff.
00:38:18.500 My bet is the cliff is just ahead.
00:38:23.040 But we have no moral compass to show us the difference of right and wrong, north and south,
00:38:29.620 up and down.
00:38:30.500 Then we've lost all of the institutions that would enforce actual laws, not Catholic laws
00:38:44.640 or Presbyterian laws or Mormon laws or any of that.
00:38:47.840 Actual, right and wrong, well thought out, well crafted laws.
00:38:55.340 Don't steal.
00:38:57.400 Don't kill.
00:38:59.900 Don't lie.
00:39:01.200 All of our laws are based on Moses and his Ten Commandments.
00:39:10.340 Okay?
00:39:10.860 It's all based on Judeo-Christian theology.
00:39:17.260 It's not a theological regime.
00:39:21.160 I don't want a theological regime.
00:39:24.240 But the only way freedom works, you only have two choices.
00:39:29.260 This ends two ways.
00:39:31.320 You restore personal responsibility, and you empower in the private sector only.
00:39:44.040 You build up and empower those organizations and those churches that are teaching something
00:39:53.000 that has value and makes people a better person.
00:39:59.240 Something that you're striving to be better.
00:40:03.200 You're striving to be more noble.
00:40:05.520 We're not striving to be more noble.
00:40:07.720 We're now seeing who can be more outrageous than the guy in the little schoolgirl skirt 0.99
00:40:12.500 stuffing stuff up his butt. 0.97
00:40:15.140 And believe me, within a month, maybe within an hour, we'll find that person.
00:40:22.580 Because somebody will accept that as a challenge.
00:40:25.180 There is no low that is low enough.
00:40:31.520 We've stopped looking up.
00:40:34.640 We first just gaze at ourselves like narcissists in the mirror.
00:40:41.640 It's just us.
00:40:42.740 It's me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
00:40:44.740 And then when we see people getting popular because they do awful things, and we're driven
00:40:52.520 to make it more about us, well, I can do that, or I can even do worse.
00:40:56.400 You either restore personal responsibility, and the best way, our founder said, is through churches.
00:41:07.900 Because churches, when done correctly in the Judeo-Christian world, churches teach people you answer to God.
00:41:22.880 I do it because, in a different sense of the word fear, I fear God.
00:41:41.420 God, I want to be on his side, so I comply to his rules, which also kind of are reflected in government laws.
00:41:56.760 But see, we're not making laws anymore.
00:41:58.920 Now we have the administration making up new guidelines, making up new rules.
00:42:08.320 They're not laws.
00:42:11.660 They're new rules, new guidelines.
00:42:15.100 And those don't reflect anything, anything, that the vast majority of people agree with.
00:42:23.720 And they're only making our country worse.
00:42:30.120 And by increasing the power of one man or the administration,
00:42:36.460 you have a greater chance of becoming exactly what Vladimir Putin did.
00:42:44.460 One way or another, you say you don't want religion.
00:42:47.540 Well, I've got news for you.
00:42:49.260 Wokeism is a religion.
00:42:50.880 I know, because I wouldn't be played by the rules, so I've been excommunicated in all the cool places.
00:43:00.040 It's a religion.
00:43:02.600 America is not a place where we have a state religion, be it wokeism or Christianity.
00:43:11.300 We worship God.
00:43:15.580 And in this country, that is a Judeo-Christian God. 0.85
00:43:21.320 All of our laws and our whole system is built upon that.
00:43:25.720 That's not bigoted.
00:43:27.780 That helps people become more Christ-like.
00:43:31.280 And if you're really Christ-like, you're not accusing people.
00:43:34.720 You are helping and loving people.
