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.
00:00:18.860 And your Tampa Bay vacation includes good times, relaxation, and great Gulf Coast weather.
00:00:25.240 Visit flyporter.com and actually enjoy economy.
00:00:30.000 Hey, podcast today, kind of super informative.
00:00:34.080 We do talk about Super Tuesday, but there's not a lot of suspense there.
00:00:38.920 I'm going to make a prediction.
00:00:40.440 Okay.
00:00:40.960 Way out on a limb.
00:00:42.720 Trump wins the majority, as does Joe Biden.
00:00:45.860 What?
00:00:46.360 Yeah.
00:00:46.900 Oh, wow.
00:00:47.540 I think Marianne Williamson is back in the race.
00:00:49.200 She's going to make a run. 1.00
00:00:50.620 So not a lot of excitement there.
00:00:52.080 But we do have some very important things to talk about regarding the economy, where we're headed,
00:00:59.140 war, and Bitcoin and spot gold hit all-time highs today, or Bitcoin very, very close to
00:01:07.580 their all-time high.
00:01:08.940 Gold hit 2,150, I think it was.
00:01:14.700 That's incredible.
00:01:16.900 And nobody's really talking about that, but you'll understand why that's happening after
00:01:22.140 today's podcast.
00:01:22.880 First, I frequently tell you that God is not on our side.
00:01:27.160 We have to be on his side.
00:01:28.960 And I can't think of a better way to get on his side than to save his children.
00:01:35.080 And that's, when I talk about that, I mean with pre-born, but I don't mean just the baby.
00:01:40.440 I mean the moms as well.
00:01:42.540 The moms, most of them don't want to make this decision, especially after they get a free 1.00
00:01:47.900 ultrasound from pre-born, from somebody like you that's paid it.
00:01:52.600 It's $28 to get an ultrasound.
00:01:55.300 Once mom sees the baby and hears the heartbeat, the chances of life double.
00:02:01.760 Then there's the problem.
00:02:03.020 The mom feels alone.
00:02:04.480 Nobody to turn to.
00:02:05.580 Nobody helping her.
00:02:07.080 Well, that's where pre-born comes in.
00:02:08.720 Gives her all the kind of care that she would need for the next two years of the baby's life.
00:02:14.440 One life-saving ultrasound is $28.
00:02:16.700 Donate securely.
00:02:18.660 Just dial pound 250.
00:02:20.540 Say the keyword baby.
00:02:22.140 That's pound 250.
00:02:23.900 Keyword baby or donate online at preborn.com slash Beck.
00:02:28.960 That's preborn.com slash Beck.
00:02:31.300 Sponsored by Preborn.
00:02:32.840 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:48.480 So it looks like nostalgia is here, and it also looks like the economy is best handled by Donald Trump, at least according to the latest polls.
00:03:03.000 Now, let's get away from the polls, and let's talk about some facts.
00:03:09.920 The Democrats are absolutely bat crap crazy on doing everything they can to make sure that Donald Trump does not become president of the United States.
00:03:22.960 The Colorado Democrat, the Secretary of State, Jenna Griswold, was on MSNBC.
00:03:31.000 Do we happen to have that video?
00:03:33.300 Listen.
00:03:33.960 My larger reaction is disappointment.
00:03:36.260 I do believe that states should be able, under our Constitution, to bar oath-breaking insurrectionists.
00:03:43.480 And ultimately, this decision leaves open or leaves open the door for Congress to act to pass authorizing legislation.
00:03:51.120 But we know that Congress is a nearly non-functioning body.
00:03:56.940 So ultimately, it will be up to the American voters to save our democracy in November.
00:04:01.820 No, ultimately, it'll be—that's crazy.
00:04:04.420 Why would we do that?
00:04:05.460 I don't have any idea.
00:04:07.200 Why would the voters have something to say about that?
00:04:08.920 Oh, man.
00:04:09.300 Leaving democracy up to the voters?
00:04:11.980 The voters don't know anything about democracy.
00:04:14.660 You know, that one vote, one person, you know, that kind of system.
00:04:19.440 What do they know about that?
00:04:20.720 We need to get back to the truest form of democracy, where the people don't participate and there's only one name on the ballot.
00:04:28.100 That's democracy.
00:04:29.780 Thank you, Saddam Hussein. 0.99
00:04:31.160 That's exactly democracy.
00:04:33.440 Okay.
00:04:33.960 So we have David French now writing for the New York Times.
00:04:38.720 And I just have to give—this is David French.
00:04:42.380 As of Monday, March 4th, 2024, Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution is essentially a dead letter.
00:04:52.060 At least as it applies to candidates for federal office.
00:04:55.920 Under the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that reversed the Colorado Supreme Court's decision striking Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot,
00:05:04.980 even insurrectionists who have violated their previous oath of office can hold federal office unless and until Congress passes specific legislation to enforce Section 3.
00:05:18.580 So now we're depending on either the people or the people's representatives to do this stuff?
00:05:23.660 In the aftermath of the oral argument last month, legal observers knew with near certainty that the Supreme Court was unlikely to apply Section 3 to Trump.
00:05:36.460 A narrow ruling for Trump might have held, for example, that Colorado didn't provide him with enough due process when it determined that Section 3 applied.
00:05:46.240 Or the court could have held that Trump as president was not an officer of the United States within the meaning of the section.
00:05:54.420 Such a ruling would have kept Trump on the ballot, but it would have also kept Section 3 viable to block insurrectionists from the House or Senate or from all other federal offices.
00:06:06.460 But somewhat, a somewhat broader ruling might have held that Trump did not engage in insurrection or rebellion or provide aid and comfort to the enemies of the Constitution.
00:06:17.420 Oh my God.
00:06:22.140 Aid and comfort? Aid and comfort?
00:06:26.320 You want to talk about aid and comfort? Really?
00:06:30.460 How about all of the people that were helping and encouraging people to burn our cities to the ground and let the rioters off?
00:06:44.740 In fact, our own vice president that was raising money to make sure that bail was covered for anybody.
00:06:52.920 Does that seem like aiding and abetting chaos?
00:06:55.580 How about in Portland, those people in our own government that were endorsing and allowing the FBI to be trapped in their own building, trying to burn down a federal courthouse?
00:07:14.460 Was there any aiding or abetting?
00:07:17.180 How about all the Soros AGs?
00:07:19.820 Any aiding and abetting for chaos there?
00:07:24.020 Things that do not benefit or follow the Constitution of the United States?
00:07:31.420 How about those like Soros and the NGOs that have aided and abetted those involved in the southern and now northern invasion of the United States?
00:07:42.320 How about all of those that have subverted the Bill of Rights to create a public-private partnership with the mainstream media and social media to subvert the voices of the American people?
00:07:56.520 Or those who have just been elected in office that have actively, actively co-opted our intel agencies against the American Constitution and spy on the American people?
00:08:11.140 Is there anything about aiding and abetting the people who are against the Constitution there?
00:08:18.340 Or is it just him?
00:08:21.800 Look, here's the thing on this.
00:08:24.460 If any state court, D.C. or New York, can declare that an enemy of the Constitution exists in this person,
00:08:34.860 what would stop Texas from doing the same thing to Joe Biden?
00:08:39.800 Nothing.
00:08:41.140 Nothing would.
00:08:43.020 While Congress is deeply flawed, it is at least a collection of state representatives.
00:08:49.500 All 50 states are represented there.
00:08:52.460 While it is flawed, and at times they themselves could be deemed an enemy of the Constitution,
00:08:58.220 as few seem to really honor the Constitution or even understand it,
00:09:03.200 it's at least a body, a national body made up of representatives from all of the states.
00:09:10.540 Texas should not be allowed to take Biden off the ballot, and either should Colorado or any other state.
00:09:17.000 Texas should not be allowed to take Biden off the ballot, or any other state.
00:09:18.180 If you want that game to be played, that's fine.
00:09:22.880 It's unconstitutional.
00:09:24.820 But if you play that game, then Texas and others will have to play it against you.
00:09:29.920 But only as a defense, not as a valid constitutional principle.
00:09:36.900 Will this, if we played that game, for those who voted differently than I did,
00:09:42.820 let's think this through.
00:09:45.240 Will that aid to our Constitution?
00:09:52.200 Will that aid our democracy?
00:09:54.120 Or will it create a more stable nation or a more perfect nation?
00:09:59.280 Does this promote domestic tranquility or domestic chaos?
00:10:10.000 What is a democracy?
00:10:12.360 Well, we're not.
00:10:13.500 We're not a democracy.
00:10:15.760 A democracy is one man, one vote.
00:10:19.220 We're a democratic republic.
00:10:21.160 So the democracy part happens like today.
00:10:25.540 We all go out and we vote.
00:10:27.300 One man, one vote.
00:10:30.800 You let the people decide on their representatives, and then the republic kicks in.
00:10:38.260 Logic dictates you cannot defend democracy if you're trying to remove your competitor from the ballot.
00:10:47.120 Trust the will of the people.
00:10:50.540 And if you voted for Biden,
00:10:52.320 Have you ever heard me say we got to get rid of anybody by any means possible?
00:11:02.260 Never.
00:11:03.180 I've never said that.
00:11:04.940 There have been occasional arguments on the right about removing Barack Obama from the president.
00:11:10.660 Constitutional means only. 0.78
00:11:12.420 I know.
00:11:12.860 But what I'm saying is you oppose those efforts.
00:11:15.160 You said, no, those aren't right.
00:11:18.920 I mean, not that the rule itself wasn't right, but that it was not accurate, that you could pull him off the ballot for those things.
00:11:25.660 I mean, I, this might be the sports fan in me, but I want to win.
00:11:32.520 I have this weird idea that your candidate should go out and actually win the election.
00:11:37.660 You shouldn't, you shouldn't be depending on some quirky rules change that might be able to get you through in an unopposed race. 0.99
00:11:47.520 Go out and win.
00:11:48.840 Go out and freaking win.
00:11:50.340 This, you're calling this guy Hitler every two days.
00:11:53.340 Go out and beat Hitler then. 0.92
00:11:55.840 This is not the, this is not 1935 Germany.
00:11:59.160 Go out and win.
00:12:00.720 That should not be that difficult if this guy is as bad as you say he is.
00:12:05.060 And if he's as bad as he say he is, then show the evidence.
00:12:10.880 You don't come up with evidence ever.
00:12:13.300 When he was first impeached, I gave my research staff a very clear directive.
00:12:17.780 Follow the truth, no matter where it leads.
00:12:21.660 If he has done something wrong, then expose it and we will demand justice.
00:12:27.100 If not, lead with that and demand justice.
00:12:31.120 Any honest person who votes differently than I do has got to admit the Justice Department has been perverted.
00:12:41.020 Equal justice no longer exists.
00:12:44.660 And this is the real key here to understand everything that we've been dealing with.
00:12:49.840 Everything we've been talking about that the, that the left and the mainstream media said don't matter.
00:12:55.740 CRT.
00:12:56.720 All the garbage that has been shoveled.
00:13:00.700 Equal. 0.80
00:13:01.780 Equality.
00:13:03.220 Different than equity.
00:13:04.480 If you overlook facts and you just look at somebody's opinion or their race or their gender or their sexual orientation and a ruling is made based on that, you're trying to serve social justice, not equal justice.
00:13:24.600 Just as anti-racism preaches, you have to be racist to fight racism.
00:13:30.540 It makes no sense.
00:13:32.040 This social justice uses injustice to fight so-called injustice.
00:13:39.340 Only equal justice can repair an injustice.
00:13:47.280 Equal justice.
00:13:48.940 Blind justice.
00:13:50.320 It's the best man can strive for.
00:13:52.520 But instead of doubling our efforts, instead of setting the bar that man has allowed himself to step over, we should raise the standard and never let anyone from any side slide under it.
00:14:05.720 Will we work together for equal justice, one where Hunter Biden could get a fair trial in the reddest of states and Trump could get a fair trial in the bluest of states?
00:14:24.000 Until we restore truth and equal justice, we will all only continue to promote domestic chaos. 0.75
00:14:33.680 And that should not be our goal.
00:14:36.140 I mean, even, they know this.
00:14:40.980 Those on the left know this.
00:14:43.140 And I know my Democratic friends, if they would just get past all of the garbage that the media is shoveling and look at the actual facts.
00:14:56.480 Even Mark Elias, the left-wing election disruptor, he even said that Donald Trump cannot get an impartial jury trial in Washington, D.C.
00:15:10.500 This is the guy whose legal campaigns are often funded by George Soros.
00:15:18.520 He posted a screenshot on X of a headline announcing that South Carolina Nikki Haley won her first primary in the 2024 election in D.C.
00:15:27.620 And he said, in a city of 700,000, Donald Trump got 676 votes in the GOP primary.
00:15:37.280 Quote, a tough jury pool.
00:15:41.960 Yeah, it is.
00:15:43.480 It is.
00:15:45.840 That's why the Bill of Rights exists.
00:15:49.620 A change of venue would only be fair because you cannot find people in, except for the 676, you cannot find people that would balance your jury out.
00:16:06.060 And until we can be on a jury and sit there and not let our personal feelings about Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, or Donald Trump, until we can say, no, I can divorce myself from all of that, we don't have a chance of having a republic.
00:16:27.680 It takes honest people who actually understand honor and strive for it.
00:16:39.380 Okay, more from the podcast here in just a second.
00:16:41.920 You're going about your day trying all the things you normally do and all of a sudden it hits you.

00:17:48.880 Now back to the podcast.
00:17:53.460 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:17:57.140 All right, we have Carol Roth with us.
00:18:05.240 Carol Roth is a good friend of the program and also the author of You Will Own Nothing.
00:18:11.620 Former investment banker, now cares about Main Street.
00:18:16.280 Carol, how are you?
00:18:18.180 Doing well, Glenn.
00:18:19.020 You seem a little feisty today, and I always enjoy feisty Glenn.
00:18:21.660 Yeah.
00:18:22.000 This should be good.
00:18:23.120 Well, I tell you, the cookie monster really pissed me off today because there's no way
00:18:28.220 that that's a coincidence.
00:18:29.920 That's coordinated propaganda from the White House.
00:18:35.420 Well, I feel like Cookie Monster was the one who got it right.
00:18:38.660 Cookie Monster is not the one who blamed the corporations.
00:18:41.260 I believe it was Joe Biden, right?
00:18:42.980 He just said that his cookies were getting smaller because of shrinkflation.
00:18:46.360 Right.
00:18:46.640 I think that makes him a better economist than anyone in the Biden administration or in
00:18:50.960 the New York Times, you know, for that matter.
00:18:53.920 But the reality is that this is a Biden talking point.
00:18:57.560 So they picked up on this and they said, no, no, Cookie Monster, shrinkflation is happening
00:19:02.320 because of the greedy corporations.
00:19:05.020 So today they're launching something.
00:19:07.340 And Carol, I want to get your read on this.
00:19:10.060 This seems a little terrifying.
00:19:11.660 Joe Biden today is launching a new task force to take on unfair and illegal corporate pricing,
00:19:19.540 which Biden sees as a major reason why consumers are not yet feeling the impact of a cooling
00:19:24.180 inflation rate.
00:19:25.040 The task force will jointly be led by the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice,
00:19:33.540 two agencies at the forefront of the Biden administration's aggressive regulatory agenda over
00:19:37.780 the past three years.
00:19:41.980 Wow.
00:19:42.960 What are these illegal?
00:19:46.460 What did they say?
00:19:47.740 Illegal and unfair and unfair and legal and unfair.
00:19:51.260 Yeah.
00:19:51.760 OK.
00:19:52.240 Fair and fair is anything that Biden says doesn't go along with his narrative.
00:19:57.500 And he's really talking out of both sides of his mouth or perhaps mumbling out of both
00:20:02.580 sides of his mouth, because on one hand, he's touting how much the economy is growing, that
00:20:07.460 things are going well, that wages are increasing.
00:20:10.460 So if that was the case, corporations should be doing better.
00:20:14.720 And there is no corporation that is making any sort of outsized profits.
00:20:20.280 Things like shrinkflation and what's happening are downstream issues from the inflation that
00:20:26.780 the Biden administration caused and certainly the Fed caused.
00:20:30.060 So to now say we're going to have a task force that is going to look up unfair and illegal
00:20:36.580 pricing practices, you know, legal is one thing.
00:20:39.820 And there's a certain definition, at least today, who knows what that could be expanded
00:20:43.440 to.
00:20:44.440 But unfair is obviously anything that they don't happen to like or agree with or is against
00:20:49.640 their policy.
00:20:50.780 And one of the things that we know in economics just across the board is that price controls
00:20:56.380 don't work.
00:20:57.200 That's something that creates rationing, good shortages, even in a black market.
00:21:03.720 Even Paul Krugman, who gets every single thing wrong.
00:21:07.760 The one thing he has ever gotten right is he is against rent control, which is one form,
00:21:12.640 one of many forms of price controls.
00:21:14.720 So even he kind of gets the fact that price controls don't work.
00:21:18.700 Everyone pretty much across the board agrees with that.
00:21:22.120 But now they want to come in as the government and step in and say, oh, you're earning too
00:21:27.640 much of a profit.
00:21:28.960 We don't like what you're doing.
00:21:30.080 You need to lower your prices, even though we're imposing this different world upon you.
00:21:34.960 And that is a recipe for disaster.
00:21:37.000 And it's obviously completely the opposite of free market capital.
00:21:40.120 Right.
00:21:40.400 It is a fascistic move when the government tells companies what to do.
00:21:45.320 It's a it's a move that fascists make.
00:21:49.380 I'm concerned about this because, you know, with all the public private partnerships, the
00:21:55.360 ones that are going to get into trouble are not the ones that are doing the bidding of
00:21:59.660 the American government.
00:22:00.820 Now, let me give you an example.
00:22:02.900 New York State Attorney Letitia James has now filed suit against JBS USA Food Company.
00:22:13.420 This is the world's largest beef producer accusing of fraudulent and illegal business activities
00:22:21.040 and disgorgement of all profits and ill-gotten gains.
00:22:25.900 She's using the state's apparatus to go after beef producers, but not for any other reason 0.98
00:22:35.240 other than they say they are shooting for zero emissions by 2040.
00:22:41.080 And she says that's fraud.
00:22:43.780 Yes, she's accusing them of what's, quote unquote, greenwashing so that the state has put these
00:22:51.600 ridiculous parameters around different companies.
00:22:54.300 The companies, as we knew or had known, leaned into those and wanted to sound like they were
00:23:00.220 complying.
00:23:00.760 And so they said, oh, we're going to do all of these things to help the environment.
00:23:03.980 So now she's saying, no, it's fraudulent.
00:23:06.740 You haven't done the things that we said, or at least in the way that we said.
00:23:10.720 And, you know, with JBS, it's a little bit tough, obviously, because they're this this
00:23:14.340 huge corporate conglomerate.
00:23:15.940 And in some cases they may have, you know, created some issues with the independent farmers.
00:23:21.320 But either way, you know, you're not rooting for the state here to come in.
00:23:26.500 And this disgorgement of profits sounds, by the way, Glenn, a lot like what happened
00:23:30.780 to Trump.
00:23:31.920 So this is this is anything that you have made.
00:23:34.680 We're going to confiscate.
00:23:36.000 First, New York came for the National Rifle Association.
00:23:40.300 I didn't say anything because I didn't own a rifle.
00:23:43.920 I wasn't a hunter and I disagree with guns.
00:23:45.780 Then they came for Donald Trump, but I didn't vote for him.
00:23:48.520 So it didn't matter now they're coming for beef.
00:23:51.460 And, you know, you could go after JBS for unfair business practices, in my opinion, because
00:23:58.340 I'm a rancher and I see these.
00:24:00.460 I believe there's absolute collusion with the three companies that are producing all of
00:24:06.320 the beef in the country.
00:24:07.780 They're getting rich.
00:24:08.980 The farmers are getting poorer.
00:24:10.460 The ranchers are getting poorer.
00:24:11.860 So I think you could go after that.
00:24:13.600 But it would have to be legitimate.
00:24:15.200 You'd have to have the actual I don't have the facts.
00:24:18.640 You could go after them for that and break that monopoly up, which I think is is fair.
00:24:24.820 But she's not.
00:24:25.820 She's talking about the rainforest.
00:24:27.780 What the hell does the rainforest have to do with New York?
00:24:31.260 Well, and not only that.
00:24:32.300 So think about this is this is very war on small business like right.
00:24:36.080 Because these bigger companies will have the capital base and the power to withstand at
00:24:42.600 least the first time around some of these, you know, tests from the state.
00:24:47.800 But if you are an independent farmer or you are a small business in some other arena and
00:24:53.940 they come after you, that's it.
00:24:55.800 You are wiped off the map, which just further consolidates.
00:24:59.640 Does it exactly the opposite of the thing that you just talked about?
00:25:02.380 You know, it doesn't create this, you know, more fair playing field.
00:25:05.740 It creates these tighter monopolies and duopolies.
00:25:09.160 So this is almost like a warning sign to say, hey, maybe you want to get out of this business
00:25:14.920 because, you know, we're coming after you.
00:25:17.180 And that seems like the plan.
00:25:19.300 They want to capture and control more and more of our resources and bring it more along 0.73
00:25:25.020 with the state.
00:25:25.620 And they're finding all of these, frankly, unconstitutional ways and banana republic sort
00:25:31.400 of ways to do it.
00:25:32.680 I got to tell you, we have to stand up.
00:25:34.420 You got to get out of New York because they're just going the wrong way.
00:25:37.320 And and Carol, I'd love your and Stuart.
00:25:39.460 I think, you know, a little bit more about this, too.
00:25:42.680 This is the future.
00:25:45.400 Litigation is the way the left is moving.
00:25:48.260 They are going to overwhelm the system with lawsuits on anything they disagree.
00:25:55.140 They've they're just going to take us.
00:25:56.700 Look what they're doing to Donald Trump.
00:25:58.380 That's going to happen everywhere.
00:26:01.260 Yeah.
00:26:01.400 Lawfare is definitely the strategy, right?
00:26:04.060 They keep coming out and they push these things down the throats of everybody.
00:26:07.700 And then what's the response?
00:26:10.040 You like the good outcome is you spend years and years and years litigating and spend tons
00:26:15.440 and tons and tons of money defending yourself.
00:26:17.220 You're not furthering the economy.
00:26:18.800 You're not furthering your business.
00:26:20.180 You're not helping anybody.
00:26:21.300 You're not making products that benefit anyone.
00:26:23.160 You're just in constant defense mode.
00:26:24.880 And how do you advance yourself that way?
00:26:26.460 And you have to have the capital base to be able to do that.
00:26:31.020 I mean, this is not something that is, you know, for the faint of heart or, you know,
00:26:35.160 if you don't have enough dollars in the bank, this is a very expensive endeavor to be
00:26:39.340 able to fight this.
00:26:40.620 And so you come out the other end and it's not guaranteed that you're going to get restitution
00:26:44.900 for your legal fees or anything else for that matter.
00:26:47.740 It's like, oh, sorry, I guess we didn't win this particular one.
00:26:50.760 Or you end up in, you know, sort of a corrupt area and they do end up winning on something
00:26:56.740 that's baseless, as we saw happen in New York.
00:26:59.940 And so it is very frightening for anybody who has this.
00:27:03.040 So let me ask you, Hochul came out last time under Donald Trump and said, don't worry,
00:27:08.700 you're for business.
00:27:10.180 This is Donald Trump specific.
00:27:12.060 No, no, no.
00:27:14.040 This is exactly, they're targeting a business they don't like and they're trying to take
00:27:20.500 it down with everything the state has in its power.
00:27:24.340 When does New York cross the Rubicon and businesses just say, I am out of here?
00:27:31.320 When does New York collapse economically?
00:27:34.780 It's a really good question.
00:27:36.400 I mean, certainly as a test run, I do think that people, you know, particularly New York
00:27:41.080 has a lot of liberal people who believe that it will not happen to them.
00:27:46.040 We did see mass movement during COVID, people who said, you know, I've had enough with these
00:27:51.200 policies.
00:27:52.320 Certainly the cost, the crime, all of those other issues have seen a mass exodus out of
00:27:57.220 the state to places like Florida.
00:27:58.800 But for the people who remain and say, you know, that, no, this is my home.
00:28:03.040 This is the, you know, the heartbeat of, of my soul or whatever it is.
00:28:07.020 They just aren't going to believe that it is going to happen to them until it happens to
00:28:12.860 one of them.
00:28:13.580 And then of course they make another set of excuses saying, well, you know, this, this
00:28:17.660 was different.
00:28:18.260 And I just think that's one of the big issues with this country.
00:28:21.260 We have a lot of people who are in denial and decoupled with reality and don't understand
00:28:26.400 and don't want to frankly understand, you know, the reality of what is happening here.
00:28:30.900 So let's me, let me go back to this, um, tribunal, uh, that the, uh, that the president is starting
00:28:39.100 today with the department of justice and the FTC.
00:28:42.740 This again, I, I, you know, I, I hate to be such a cynic, but I, I have, I have no reason
00:28:51.320 not to be in this case.
00:28:53.380 Um, they're going to target the companies that are not falling in line with them.
00:28:58.040 Um, and how are you, how are we going to fight this one?
00:29:03.620 What should these companies do?
00:29:05.940 Uh, and what should the average person do to prepare?
00:29:10.080 Cause this is, this is really going to go right to the heart of capitalism.
00:29:15.200 Yeah.
00:29:15.720 I mean, I think that the one piece of good news is that the courts are also working in
00:29:21.500 some cases in the other way.
00:29:23.320 And there are groups like Pacific legal foundation and others who are these nonprofits that will
00:29:29.220 stand up for businesses and individual rights.
00:29:32.780 We just saw a, um, at least interim when that corporate transparency act that we had talked
00:29:38.780 about the, the financial crimes network that was mass targeting small businesses over the
00:29:44.340 weekends, the Alabama courts had ruled or came out over the weekend that they had ruled
00:29:49.220 that it was unconstitutional.
00:29:50.520 Now, certainly we imagine that the treasury is going to fight that, but if that holds that
00:29:55.140 shows that there's a win.
00:29:56.360 So there will be, I think these marquee opportunities to push back, but unfortunately it's just exhausting
00:30:04.660 because it's like, you know, you, you go and you, you, you kill the, the ants and you think
00:30:09.360 that you've got everything done and then the rain comes and then you've got a whole new,
00:30:13.000 you know, group of them coming back out.
00:30:14.720 So I think that we have to stay vigilant, um, and we have to use our voices because the
00:30:19.380 places where people have spoken up and have said, this is an issue across the board, whether
00:30:24.780 it's to politicians, whether it's to wall street, wherever it is, those are the places where
00:30:29.960 they've backed out off and certainly they've gone somewhere else, but you know, things like
00:30:34.240 messing with our food supply, that is an absolute no.
00:30:37.780 And something that everybody should be using.
00:30:40.780 You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck, check out the full show podcast to listen to
00:30:46.960 the rest of this interview.
00:30:49.720 All right.
00:30:50.580 Let me change the subject here a little bit, um, to, uh, to a sequence of events.
00:30:57.440 See if you can identify the sequence of events.
00:30:59.820 Okay.
00:31:00.820 A clandestine operation was launched to initiate a coup.
00:31:05.640 Russians didn't like that.
00:31:07.200 Military buildup in the smaller country commenced that included a flood of weapons.
00:31:13.900 They were mostly defensive to start, but information and pictures started to come out
00:31:19.240 and it began to leak out that the longer range offensive weapons were about to enter the game.
00:31:26.840 Global thermonuclear war seemed innocent or imminent.
00:31:32.440 What?
00:31:33.220 Not innocent.
00:31:33.900 It would be a weird explanation for that.
00:31:35.500 Imminent.
00:31:35.740 Imminent.
00:31:36.020 What situation am I talking about?
00:31:41.800 1960s.
00:31:43.040 Okay.
00:31:43.780 Cuban Missile Crisis.
00:31:45.480 Yeah.
00:31:45.520 Okay.
00:31:45.920 All right.
00:31:46.320 All right.
00:31:46.740 You could also think, well, that might be NATO.
00:31:51.080 That might be NATO.
00:31:51.920 Last week, France made an insane statement, uh, said that NATO troops could actually deploy
00:31:58.500 and engage in Ukraine.
00:32:00.260 Okay.
00:32:00.700 Well, that was, that's a trip wire for, for, uh, Vladimir Putin.
00:32:05.060 And it would be the same kind of thing because we found out something else over the weekend.
00:32:11.440 The roles are reversed, but history is repeating itself in the Cuban Missile Crisis, I believe.
00:32:17.200 As the Russians were flocking to the funeral of Navalny, which was incredible because you 1.00
00:32:24.240 can't go to the funeral.
00:32:25.500 Not supposed to go to the funeral.
00:32:26.780 Not supposed to show up.
00:32:27.920 We put you in jail.
00:32:30.360 Thousands of people went to the funeral.
00:32:32.280 It was amazing.
00:32:34.220 While they, that was going on, the Russians decide, decided to divert everybody's attention 0.95
00:32:40.020 by leaking an audio clip from German military leaders.
00:32:44.980 Okay.
00:32:45.640 Now they released it on Russia today.
00:32:47.580 Let's stop there.
00:32:48.380 Any intelligence related from Russia that's being published through RT or Russia today is
00:32:55.480 clearly a Russian government operation.
00:32:58.620 So it's propaganda.
00:32:59.560 Let's make sure everybody understands that Russia wanted eyes diverted from the death of
00:33:05.700 the main rival of Putin.
00:33:07.580 Um, but it doesn't discount everything that was revealed.
00:33:10.800 The audio that was released over the weekend.
00:33:13.580 I don't know if you paid attention to it was of German officials discussing the deployment
00:33:19.120 and use of medium to long range cruise missiles in Ukraine.
00:33:24.120 The only use of these missiles would be to strike targets offensively within Russia.
00:33:31.580 They even discussed a potential attack on the bridges that connect the mainland of Russia
00:33:37.080 to Crimea.
00:33:38.400 And they were very, uh, specific.
00:33:42.080 Now let me pause again for a second.
00:33:43.520 Offensive missile missiles of this caliber are what triggered the Cuban missile crisis.
00:33:51.860 We could not, we've, we've never been closer to a nuclear war than that time.
00:33:57.340 Missiles close enough to hit the United States and Cuba could be tipped with nuclear warheads.
00:34:03.020 At the very least, they could have been used by a proxy, Cuba, to attack strategic targets 0.69
00:34:09.140 here in our homeland.
00:34:10.740 That was our red line.
00:34:13.680 Russia has the same red line. 0.57
00:34:17.300 Okay.
00:34:18.780 And are we doing the same thing now?
00:34:21.300 There's been some reporting on this audio appears to be authentic.
00:34:25.860 And when I say they were contemplating, it's not surprising to me that the German military
00:34:31.440 heads are talking through the possibility of how they would deploy weapons in case of a
00:34:36.580 war.
00:34:36.860 That's their job.
00:34:37.960 But can you not do it on WhatsApp?
00:34:42.600 Last week, as the president of France was talking about deploying NATO troops, the German
00:34:49.020 chancellor was under fire for expressing reluctance to deploy longer range cruise missiles to
00:34:54.720 Ukraine.
00:34:55.500 The issue in Germany has now reached the boiling point, threatening to fracture the chancellor's
00:35:01.740 ruling coalition.
00:35:03.920 Then the audio leaked.
00:35:06.280 There are games within games within games that are being played here.
00:35:10.200 There are so many troublesome things here.
00:35:12.400 It's hard to know where to start.
00:35:14.600 But first, the Russians are releasing this audio tape this last weekend to make it look
00:35:19.720 like a NATO country was already committed to strike Russia on her own territory.
00:35:24.320 That's known as World War Three.
00:35:26.440 But that's not what the audio reveals.
00:35:28.900 It reveals that NATO military leaders are at the very least talking about it.
00:35:34.700 They're trying to find out how they could deploy these weapons.
00:35:37.680 But also, as the audio reveals, leave the least amount of footprint.
00:35:44.120 We didn't get those audio.
00:35:45.840 Oh, geez.
00:35:47.680 What the Russians are not including is that the political decision to do this has not been
00:35:52.940 made.
00:35:53.900 I'm not saying the decision won't eventually be made, but that's the entire context here.
00:35:59.160 Second.
00:35:59.420 Why was this call made on WhatsApp?
00:36:05.140 Why?
00:36:05.800 Why?
00:36:07.360 Why would they do that?
00:36:10.240 Lastly, we've been waiting for someone, literally anyone, to take a step back and call for de-escalation.
00:36:17.480 That is clearly now not the mindset of NATO.
00:36:22.920 In the case of Germany, there's a big push to escalate further.
00:36:28.040 Germany is not the one that Russians will look on kindly, Leningrad.
00:36:38.840 History is always forgotten by the people who should be studying it the most.
00:36:43.840 Cuba, a proxy, could have been the linchpin for World War Three.
00:36:49.500 Ukraine is a proxy. 0.94
00:36:52.300 Will it be the linchpin for World War Three? 0.83
00:36:54.940 Or will cooler heads prevail?
00:37:00.380 I'm still waiting for somebody to lead on this and lead to a table of peace.
00:37:04.600 So far, that person is absent.
00:37:06.300 How long can the world afford this march toward war?
00:37:12.560 And insane.
00:37:13.400 Every single human on the planet, everybody in Russia, everybody in Ukraine, everybody in America, in France, they're all saying the same things.
00:37:22.340 Let's not blow up the planet, boys.
00:37:24.860 What do you say we back away from this?
00:37:26.660 Everybody, everybody, everybody who's just a casual observer, everybody who, A, loves the planet, likes free, you know, clean air and clean water, we don't want the planet to be irradiated.
00:37:43.720 You don't have to be a greenie to believe that. 1.00
00:37:46.860 But our governments are not listening to us.
00:37:51.560 We should be very, very well aware of what is happening in the halls all over NATO.
00:38:00.580 They don't seem to be on the same page as the people.
00:38:04.700 Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.
