The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Carol Roth ｜｜ 7⧸18⧸23

00:00:00.000 Hey, great podcast today. We start with, hey, how healthy are we? If we're going to go into a war,

00:00:06.800 how healthy are we? You know, do we have enough bullets? Do we have the country behind it?

00:00:14.000 Do we have our strategic oil reserves? How about money to be able to fight a war? We show you how

00:00:21.380 much the United States is borrowing every single day and what it means to you and your family.

00:00:27.320 Then we also talked to Carol Roth, the author of a book that just came out today,

00:00:31.680 You Will Own Nothing. It's a great companion book with my book that is Dark Future. Really,

00:00:38.900 they were written kind of together. We worked hand in hand on what are you going to cover that I can't

00:00:44.400 cover, et cetera, et cetera. It's a great companion book. Dark Future is my book. Her book is You Will

00:00:51.460 Own Nothing. Then we talked politics and we kind of ended up in a very philosophical place on what is

00:01:00.160 real and what isn't. Don't miss a second of today's podcast brought to you by Relief Factor. If you are

00:01:07.180 in pain, may I suggest you just try one more thing? I know, I know you've tried everything. You can't get

00:01:14.120 it. And you've been to every single doctor you can imagine. And you've tried some of the strongest

00:01:19.400 things out there. That's the one that's going to work and nothing have. And then I come to you on

00:01:25.080 the radio or in the podcast and I say, no, they really, you should try this. You know, it's all

00:01:30.360 natural. If you're like me at all, all natural. That is either it doesn't taste good if it's a food

00:01:37.680 or it doesn't work if it's a medicine. This is the very first thing that I have ever tried that

00:01:44.480 is, you know, all natural. That reduces inflammation. Nothing ever works for me on

00:01:50.440 that to get me out of pain. This does. Will you just try it? Go to ReliefFactor.com. Get the

00:01:56.680 three-week quick start. ReliefFactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF. Here's the podcast.

00:02:03.600 I think one of the problems we have with America is a lack of storytelling. We're telling our history

00:02:22.640 in dates and then we're telling our future in movies and we're doing it in a way where it's

00:02:30.340 not credible. I mean, this is why I wrote the book Dark Future, which pick up your copy now,

00:02:37.420 wherever books are sold. It has, I don't even know, a thousand, two thousand footnotes in it

00:02:43.280 because people need to understand that this is real, not science fiction. And I'm up on the ranch

00:02:50.440 at the Standing Rock Ranch and every year I am holding a symposium here at the ranch with the Inspired

00:02:59.020 Arts League. And we have some of the best artists in America. I mean, Jeremy Lipking and Albin

00:03:07.200 Veselka and Adrian Stein and Quang Ho and all of these people from all over the country and the

00:03:13.220 world coming here. And we learn story, how to tell stories because people, you know, when you went into

00:03:21.500 the churches in the medieval days, that's what the stained glass windows were for. People couldn't

00:03:27.520 read. And so they would look and they would learn the story through art. We have a guy who is here

00:03:36.360 who's teaching us this week and he is, he's the guy responsible for the design of some of the best

00:03:42.520 movies you've ever seen far as, you know, um, animated movies, Aladdin, beauty and the beast,

00:03:49.440 little mermaid. He did all of, you know, a lot of these movies. And then he went on to work with

00:03:56.060 Marvel to problem solve for Marvel. The problem is, uh, we have lost our story entirely and it's being

00:04:07.260 replaced right now. That's what the book dark future is about the great narrative. It's being

00:04:12.680 replaced with a new story and new traditions. Remember what Michelle Obama said? We'll have to

00:04:19.680 have new traditions. Well, we do, uh, Pat is here to talk to us about, uh, what this month is

00:04:27.380 celebrating, which of course I know Pat, because you're not a hater, you've already been making a

00:04:33.820 big deal out of it in this new tradition. It's of course, July is of course, you know, I'd never

00:04:42.900 insult, uh, you know, the listeners to the show by speaking it out loud, something they already know

00:04:50.360 so well, you know, wow. Really? Yeah. Wow. That's how holy it is to you. Yes, exactly. That is good.

00:04:59.240 In a way I now feel bad for even at, because we have said the name because we obviously are so in

00:05:05.120 tune with this. So in tune. And now I feel like our listeners are going to be, they're going to be

00:05:10.000 sick of us repeating the name of what we're celebrating this week, which is Glenn, of course

00:05:15.940 month, Glenn, uh, handicapped pride month. Definitely not a hand. What, what, what's the last

00:05:24.380 year they used handicapped in one of these names? Like 1840, maybe? It is, uh, of course, as we all

00:05:30.860 know, disability pride month. Yes, of course. Disability. Of course. Yeah. Pride month. I was, I

00:05:38.080 wish. You're proud of your disability. Well, yes. And you actually got it right, Pat. Of course,

00:05:41.980 you're, as you mentioned, you're an expert on this. Yeah. But I actually at first thought,

00:05:46.280 are we celebrating like another version of pride month for disabled people? Do they get their own 1.00

00:05:52.360 like the one-legged lesbian? Right. Is that right? Okay. Is this her month? But no, no, 0.95

00:05:57.420 her month. It's just celebrating people generally who have disabilities. So they're taking pride

00:06:03.220 in these disabilities. Okay. Okay. I, of course, we all know. We all know. Again. Yeah. I've got

00:06:10.060 my tree up. I've had my tree up since May. I get so excited about this. Do you decorate yours

00:06:15.420 with prosthetics like I do? Cause it, uh, well, no, that's a good idea. I just take all the toy

00:06:22.540 soldiers and break a leg or an arm off. Okay. Uh, and, uh, so I mean, I can't even believe how

00:06:31.360 many different months there are. We went over this when one day you were out, Glenn, and we went

00:06:36.660 through the whole calendar and that was LGBTQQIA two plus two plus, which I guess would not include

00:06:42.420 disability. No. Pride month. No, of course not. No. That's right. Unless you're gay or bi or two 0.99

00:06:50.060 spirited, then you would be in that group if you were that and disabled. Right. But now I think it's 1.00

00:06:56.860 a little unfair because if you're gay and disabled, you get two months. What if, well, I think you should 1.00

00:07:03.420 get three, honestly. I mean, shouldn't August be disability pride pride month? Oh, I'm just

00:07:08.640 throwing it out there. It seems like we should embrace this. It probably will be next year. Next

00:07:14.540 year. Yeah. It probably will be. Okay. All right. It really is incredible. Um, I don't know how we got

00:07:21.580 here. I slowly, but surely steadily. And we ignored too many things. You know? Yeah. It's like, how does

00:07:29.800 somebody, uh, go bankrupt very slowly and then all at once? Yeah. Uh, we didn't notice the very slowly

00:07:37.340 part and, uh, we're noticing the all at once part, which is, which is so good as we're here on the eve

00:07:44.000 of not only another very special, uh, pride month, but also on the eve of world war two, I think are three.

00:07:52.340 I think that is, man, I feel warm inside. I feel like 7,000 degrees warm inside, but, uh, just

00:08:00.520 really, it's really special. Well, I go back to last week and this, the original story that Kamala

00:08:06.580 Harris told about the two frogs, you know, cause that nobody's heard that and it really resonated

00:08:12.660 with me. Did she write that? Was that an original piece of writing? She wrote that I think just last

00:08:15.940 week. Yeah. Uh, good heavens. I've missed the Kamala Harris. Oh, you missed the, how did I miss it?

00:08:22.040 Oh man. Oh yeah. Apparently Glenn, if you put one frog in a pot of water and you slowly turn up

00:08:30.220 the heat, that frog's just going to stay in there and enjoy it until he dies. But the other frog,

00:08:35.880 if you put the frog in the water and then turn it up really high, really fast, that frog will jump

00:08:41.060 out of the pot. Wow. And that's what happened to us, right? We were the first frog.

00:08:46.540 Huh? Um, I don't think that's actually true. It isn't true. No, it isn't. Yeah. So, uh,

00:08:55.800 both frogs will jump out of the pot. It's a nice fairy tale. Yeah. Again, again, a very nice fairy tale

00:09:02.500 given to us by, uh, Kamala Harris. Now, I don't know if you saw this, but, um, if Biden were to drop out,

00:09:11.980 there is a three way, this is how bad it is for the Democrats. There's a three way tie. 18% of

00:09:23.440 Democratic voters would say, I'm with Kamala Harris. Okay. The V that you think the sitting VP would

00:09:29.700 have 75% of the vote, right? That should think. Eight. And it's 18, which I thought was high.

00:09:37.160 18. Second, second is Hillary Clinton at 15. Oh my gosh. Third is Bernie Sanders at 12. 0.98

00:09:47.480 Yeah. The Democrats are in good shape, aren't they? Yeah. The best, the best part about this poll

00:09:52.940 is, is the face made by Gavin Newsom. Oh yeah. I love it. I love the idea of this guy sitting there

00:10:01.520 opening up this poll and realizing he's not even in the top three because you know what? He really

00:10:07.920 thinks he's in the top three. He thinks he's number one by a mile. He does. And he's not. Well,

00:10:13.560 well, you also have, uh, those receiving at least 4% California governor, Gavin Newsom, uh, Pete

00:10:22.820 Buddha judge, Robert F. Kennedy, Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Stacey Abrams.

00:10:32.300 I mean, you can pick any of those and I'd be happy. You know what I mean? Oh my gosh. They really do

00:10:38.780 have a path. Oh my gosh. They do. They don't know, but they have nothing. Is AOC even old enough now?

00:10:43.300 Yes. She turns 35 in October. Okay. I didn't think she was currently. She isn't currently.

00:10:49.640 In October she is. She would qualify for it because she turns, I think it's, I think it's

00:10:54.080 October. You were such, you were such an ageist. You're going on that old dusty document and you

00:11:00.360 have to be at least 35. What an ageist you are. I'm so sick of it. I know she could just identify 0.93

00:11:06.520 as 38, you know, why not? We were changing everything else. By the way, before we get to

00:11:14.880 Stacey Abrams, let's remember that Biden is still in the race, but he's facing two foes. One is Robert

00:11:23.120 F. Kennedy Jr. And the other that doesn't get a lot of talk is self-help author Marianne Williamson.

00:11:30.240 And she'll cuddle, she'll cuddle with Putin and it'll be, I mean, the war will be over. She'll

00:11:37.920 be like, let me just, let's hug it out. Let's hug it out. Can I make a potentially unpopular

00:11:43.300 point with the audience for a moment here? Have we come to the point that we've oversold

00:11:49.480 how well RFK Jr. is doing in this race? Like, I understand that there's a lot of people on

00:11:54.620 the right who have this affinity, this sudden affinity for RFK Jr. I don't, don't. Oh, I don't.

00:12:00.360 You don't, Glenn, because, you know, he basically threatened your life in front of thousands of

00:12:04.600 people. So I can understand why you might not be coming along for that one. He accused you of

00:12:10.300 treason and said you should be treated like a traitor along with Rush Limbaugh. And this is over

00:12:13.360 climate change, right? Over climate change. But I would like to say it's overstated. He said thousands

00:12:20.360 of people. It was on CNN. So it was maybe a couple of hundred people. No, it was at a big

00:12:24.360 live event. He said it on stage at a massive live event where there were a lot of people

00:12:28.820 who saw it. Wow. And like, I get that, like, as I've said it, the fact that RFK Jr. is hitting

00:12:36.380 20% is a crazy, crazy thing. It shouldn't happen. And it shows how, one, there's a lot of name

00:12:43.280 recognition for RFK Jr. Two, he probably is connecting with some people in the Democratic Party.

00:12:47.540 Three, Joe Biden's really, really bad. So there's a point to make there that he's hitting 20%.

00:12:52.940 However, I will say, everyone says this, that he's hitting 20%. That one poll where he hit

00:12:58.880 20% was two months ago. He's now had two months of polling where he has not hit 20%.

00:13:06.400 He is behind. What does he hit? Let me see. I'll bring it up here in a second.

00:13:10.180 And if, let's see, Democratic nomination. He has not hit 20% in two months. He's been

00:13:17.180 hitting between eight and eight, 15. Oh, man. And we joke, a lot of people will sit here

00:13:25.700 and say, oh, well, Ron DeSantis is a total disaster. He's 30 and 40 points behind. There

00:13:31.320 hasn't been a poll where RFK Jr. has been within 40 points at all. I mean, it's been

00:13:37.840 months, at least, since we've seen that. In addition, the Marianne Williamson thing is

00:13:42.740 interesting, right? Marianne Williamson, we can all agree, is a zilch of a candidate,

00:13:46.920 right? Like, she's not a real candidate. Yes. She is nothing, right? Like, no offense to

00:13:51.680 her, but, like, she does not have a constituency. She is just basically nothing. Let me give you 0.98

00:13:56.840 a couple of polls here. Like, the Yahoo News poll from, this is from June 20th, uh, Biden

00:14:02.940 67, Williamson 4, Kennedy 8. Like, okay, he's four points ahead of Marianne Williamson in

00:14:11.800 this poll, sure. Right? Like, okay. Some polls, some polls he's up by 10. Some polls he's up

00:14:19.920 by, you know, like, he's up by 11. He's up by 7. He's up by 12 over her. But, like, that

00:14:25.380 is the difference between any, you could throw any name on there, and they're gonna

00:14:28.760 get the 7% in one of these polls. And he's getting 12. He's getting 17. He's getting

00:14:33.900 15. Like, I'm not saying it's nothing, right? He, and he's shown, like, some ability

00:14:39.120 to, to connect to the right and to the center, which is impressive, right? There's

00:14:43.600 some things he's doing. He's crazy. But let's not overstate this. He's not, he's not 1.00

00:14:47.580 competitive in this race at all. No. He's losing by 40 and 50 points in every

00:14:51.760 single poll. But that's only because, once you get Marianne Williamson to drop

00:14:57.300 out, you know, then that thing is a juggernaut. 0.86

00:15:04.680 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:15:08.240 I wanted to bring Carol Roth on today. She is the author of a new book, comes out

00:15:12.080 today, You Will Own Nothing. It is a great companion book for my book, A Dark Future.

00:15:19.380 Here, if you go and you buy one of them, you'll see these two items most

00:15:24.040 bought together. Because I'm showing you the, the mechanics of the machine.

00:15:32.640 And Carol, it takes not only the mechanics of the machine, but she takes it and now

00:15:37.800 lays it out for what your life is, what it's going to look like, how it's going to

00:15:43.000 come down, and, and more importantly, what to do about it. Hi, Carol. How are you?

00:15:47.920 Hi, Glenn. I'm doing well. And again, congratulations on Dark Future. And I do

00:15:53.080 love seeing that every time you go to one of those online sites, and they say,

00:15:56.320 these books are frequently brought together. Dark Future, You Will Own Nothing,

00:16:00.260 because we've been strategizing on this together and talking about it for like

00:16:04.380 well over a year.

00:16:05.280 So, Carol, let me, let me, I want to just take you through the chapters of your book,

00:16:11.620 because it starts with socially unacceptable and social credit scores. And there are so

00:16:18.660 many people that don't know about social credit scores, or when they hear it, they're like,

00:16:23.940 that's crazy. That's not going to happen here. It is happening here. So take me through chapter

00:16:29.540 one, just highlights. Yeah. So with chapter one, we really kind of see what's happening

00:16:36.500 with social credit. And I would, I would offer that there are sort of three phases. One is cancel

00:16:41.640 culture, where it's really, you know, kind of people going after your social standing, which is the way

00:16:47.440 that you get opportunities. They go after your jobs, which is obviously your income. And in some

00:16:53.420 cases, they go after your business. And that gets kind of formalized into a sort of hybrid,

00:16:59.820 loose social credit system, you know, maybe the state's involved, but you know, they haven't kind

00:17:04.420 of formalized a number grading system. And then you get to what China has, which is a full graded system,

00:17:11.500 although it's still developing and it's sort of on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. So if you think

00:17:17.420 about what happened during COVID, if you were wrong, think, if you were the ones who weren't

00:17:23.740 wearing masks, and you're not taking a vaccine, people were coming at you, whether it was your

00:17:29.620 neighbor, or in some cases, the state, you couldn't go to a restaurant, you, you know, in some cases,

00:17:35.920 or they took a picture of you and put it on social media that you weren't wearing a mask, they were

00:17:40.500 calling your employer. If you think about what the Biden executive orders, you in some places couldn't

00:17:47.240 have a job or just the threat to businesses from the state that this executive order came down,

00:17:52.640 well, we're not really in it and required, but boy, we don't want to take that heat. So we feel

00:17:58.580 the pressure, even though there isn't sort of that formal mandate to us. And then we actually saw the

00:18:04.880 taking of assets, right? We saw businesses, particularly small businesses being shut down,

00:18:10.880 again, not based on data and science, but based on political clout and connections.

00:18:14.840 Our neighbors to the north, if you were part of that trucker freedom convoy, you saw your bank

00:18:20.880 account being seized. And we're seeing it, you know, across, you know, being deplatformed,

00:18:25.940 we're seeing collusion with the state. So this idea that, you know, that social credit is just about,

00:18:33.380 you know, quashing your right to speech, there's a huge financial tie there as well. And really

00:18:40.280 trying to manipulate people's behaviors, you know, whether you're Joe Rogan or Dave Chappelle,

00:18:46.420 or, you know, just a person on the street, trying to manipulate that based on what a small group of

00:18:53.400 people are saying is moral and right. So you say this leads us to a new financial world order,

00:19:01.380 but you say it's coming in two parts. And the first one is about debt.

00:19:08.220 Yeah, so the whole concept of a new financial world order, a new world order,

00:19:13.940 sounds very conspiratorial. And one of the things that I wanted to do with this book

00:19:18.500 is take the conspiracy theory out of it. Because, you know, it's very easy for people to say,

00:19:25.580 oh, you know, new world order, that sounds tinfoil hatty, I'm going to dismiss it. But as you wrote

00:19:31.940 also in your book, and I cover it, and you will own nothing, all you need to do is go to the White 0.70

00:19:37.380 House's website, you look at the speech that Joe Biden gave to the business roundtable, March 21st,

00:19:43.020 2022, and he walks through this. New financial world orders happen on a regular basis. We're about

00:19:48.720 80 years into ours being at the center of the financial universe. But before us, it was the British, 0.96

00:19:54.100 and before the British, it was the Dutch. And so this is something that if you are elite and well 0.95

00:19:58.940 connected, you already know. And so Joe Biden says this, he says, you know, it's going to every

00:20:05.420 three or four generations, there's a new financial order, and there's going to be a new world order

00:20:10.380 out there, and we've got to lead it. And I'm pretty sure when he's talking to the business roundtable,

00:20:14.500 he's talking to those business elite, probably not me and you, Glenn, and probably not the people

00:20:19.520 who are listening here today. Exactly right. Yeah. So if you're these people,

00:20:26.160 and you're seeing that the global financial stakes are shifting, do you just kind of sit back and hope

00:20:32.840 everything works out for you? Or do you jockey to try to make sure that you and your cronies

00:20:39.140 stay on top, retain your wealth and retain your power? I don't think it's at all conspiratorial. I

00:20:44.340 think anybody with a brain would say, of course, you're going to try and do those kinds of things.

00:20:48.480 And it's not necessarily, hang on just a second, I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's not just,

00:20:56.080 we expect that to be true. When 2008 came along, in 2006, I was talking to the guys that were all in

00:21:04.780 Wall Street and financial sectors, and I said, guys, this doesn't work. And they would all fall

00:21:11.300 back and say, Glenn, there's too much money at stake. All of the big thinkers are making sure

00:21:18.180 that everything is taken care of. Well, we expected that. That's what their excuse was.

00:21:24.740 You don't understand the system. And there's too much money at stake. There's too much money at stake.

00:21:30.500 And so all of the big players, they know that. And what are we going to do to protect it? So it doesn't

00:21:37.620 have to be nefarious. In this case, I think it is. But it doesn't have to be nefarious. It's logical

00:21:43.960 that they would do that. It very much is. And it's a very much a rhyme of history. It's that

00:21:50.740 famous saying that's attributed to Mark Twain, that history doesn't repeat itself, but it often

00:21:55.360 does rhyme. And so you can kind of see these cycles. And lots of thinkers who are very well

00:22:00.140 regarded will talk to you about these historical cycles. So when you look at this new financial

00:22:05.140 world order, one of the things that occurs to me is that major economies don't get sort of taken over

00:22:13.080 by the outside. They really implode from within. And you can go all the way back to Rome from this,

00:22:18.420 right? This is all an internal undoing that maybe there's a catalyst at the end. But it goes from

00:22:24.880 basically where you have stable money to having way too much debt and excesses. And then you have to

00:22:32.620 let your military lapse and all these kinds of things. And so that's really where this first part

00:22:38.380 of the new financial world order is, is all the things that we have done internally to put ourselves

00:22:44.580 in this position, whether it's having public debt to GDP of 125 percent, which even the IMF

00:22:51.960 has said is unstable. The Treasury has said is unstable. The CBO has said it's unstable. So that does not

00:22:57.900 sound very conspiracy theory to me, whether it's the Biden administration weaponizing the dollar

00:23:04.460 when they decided to freeze Russia's reserve assets after they invaded Ukraine. The fact that the Fed

00:23:11.580 has not kept the dollar stable on the international stage. Oh, by the way, they haven't kept it stable

00:23:16.740 at home either, which is an amazing feat. Usually it's one or the other. So all these kinds of things

00:23:21.980 move us, you know, in that cycle that we have at that being at the center of the financial universe,

00:23:26.860 all of these things move us further to the edge. And we're all seeing the repercussions. We're seeing

00:23:33.460 some of the de-dollarization already. We're seeing the BRICS countries come out and say we're trying to

00:23:38.740 have a new currency. We know the impact of the debt load. We've seen the inflation. Again, none of all of

00:23:46.300 this is very well documented. And so really important and center to you will owe nothing

00:23:51.740 was me going in and, you know, almost every paragraph has a little note on it where you can

00:23:57.540 find the information. And if I had a choice, by the way, of where to source the information,

00:24:02.720 I went to the corporate press because it's much harder for somebody who's trying to say this is a

00:24:08.740 conspiracy theory to say what I point out. This was in the Washington Post and Reuters, whatever.

00:24:13.840 It's much harder for them to dismiss it. So, Carol, let's talk a little bit about debt.

00:24:19.180 The numbers are so big that nobody thinks that anything's going to happen to this. They don't

00:24:25.780 even begin to understand. And when we have huge debt like this, and let's say we go to war,

00:24:34.040 we don't have the money to pay for the war. And when everyone's in debt and that bubble starts to

00:24:43.400 burst, all kinds of bad things follow. What's going to happen to our debt? How do you explain

00:24:51.340 borrowing $5.1 billion every day? What that means?

00:24:59.360 I mean, it's so staggering. No wonder people can't get their head wrapped around it. And I blame

00:25:06.540 some of these people who are in the MMT area. That stands for Modern Monetary Theory. I call it a name

00:25:14.260 that I heard elsewhere called Magic Money Tree. Because the idea is that if you own a printing

00:25:20.020 press, you can never default on your debt because you can print more money, which I guess is true in

00:25:26.500 theory. But it just absolutely obliterates the value of the dollar. And I think what so many people

00:25:33.500 forget is that money is just a proxy. It's a proxy for the fruits of your labor, for productivity.

00:25:40.980 It's a convenience so that we no longer have to trade and go, oh, well, I have an egg and you're

00:25:46.600 a doctor and someone else needs a cow and how do we all sort this out? It's a proxy. But it's a proxy

00:25:52.380 for that productivity. So if you print more dollars and there's no additional productivity,

00:25:57.200 then you debase everything, at least on a one-to-one basis, I would venture to say that

00:26:03.900 with compounding, it's actually a worse scenario. And we saw this over the past few years when

00:26:10.100 everybody wanted stimulus checks. They said, oh, you know, I need my Donnie dollars and I need my

00:26:15.140 Biden bucks here. Give me my thousand dollars. Give me my twelve hundred dollars. And there were

00:26:19.600 people like you and me standing up going, no, don't do this. This is a trick. You're going to end up

00:26:24.060 spending seven to ten thousand dollars for the rest of your life. But most people don't understand

00:26:29.400 that. So when you see that the debt levels going up, there are a couple of things that are happening

00:26:35.300 concurrently. One is that, you know, we no longer have these central banks around the world who want

00:26:42.620 to buy that debt. And if you think about what happened during COVID is who came in to buy that

00:26:49.800 debt. It wasn't other central banks. And for a large part, it wasn't your traditional investors.

00:26:55.140 It was the Federal Reserve. Again, which is just a collection of private banks, all the banks,

00:27:04.420 the biggest ones that are all in trouble borrowing money from the Fed. The Fed is it's just the it's

00:27:13.240 those banks. And they they elect people to go sit in and give monetary policy for the United States

00:27:23.140 as a private institution. So if you think the banks are unstable, they're the ones printing the money

00:27:31.120 and giving it to us. That doesn't sound good. No. And they're they're making up when you think of a

00:27:37.940 printer, you actually think of like a physical money printer. This is just an entry. It's like

00:27:41.620 basically going into your bank account and being like, oh, let's just put a million dollars in

00:27:47.140 there. And we'll go shopping. If you and I did that, it would be fraud. When the Fed does it,

00:27:52.720 it's monetary policy. I'm not sure how that sort of puts together. You talk about this in the

00:27:59.280 incredible shrinking dollar. This is chapter four. And I want you to go over the reason why

00:28:06.380 this isn't insanity this time, or so they say, is that we have entered a new modern era where technology

00:28:17.360 will control inflation so we can print as much as we want. And yeah, it'll cause inflation. But we have

00:28:25.400 the technology now to keep that under control. And that technology is just monitoring what every

00:28:32.600 single person does, wants and spends, correct? Yes. So this is sort of, you know, one of the big

00:28:39.880 pieces that we have is that because there is so much pressure on the Fed and the government with

00:28:47.440 these debts that they're going to be desperate and they're going to be looking at any any ways that

00:28:52.180 they can get themselves out of it. You own nothing. You will own nothing. Carol Roth's new book,

00:28:58.340 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program. Let me start here because the Washington Examiner

00:29:04.200 ranked all of the candidates that were in Iowa with us. And I think they rated them exactly the

00:29:14.260 same we did. They said, Tim Scott, unfortunately for Scott, the interview with Carlson highlighted the

00:29:19.420 South Carolina senator's least appealing side, his tendency to joke his way out of difficult situations.

00:29:24.780 He had some non-answers and that really didn't go well for him, but they didn't, they didn't think

00:29:34.140 he was, they didn't think he destroyed himself. Where Asa Hutchinson, a mess. Mike Pence, another mess.

00:29:44.120 Nikki Haley, I think they had the same, same exact, you know, view on her. Tucker Carlson went easy on

00:29:52.740 her. He chose not to go after Haley in the way he went after Hutchinson and Pence and didn't press

00:29:57.360 her on some issues such as Ukraine. It allowed Haley to do things such as go off on a crowd-pleasing

00:30:02.700 and plausible reading of the White House cocaine situation. Then Vivek, the youngest, 37, the youngest

00:30:11.000 candidate with no governmental experience. Ramaswamy has made real inroads in the GOP race.

00:30:17.160 Then Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor, was the last candidate to appear and he was the best. I think

00:30:24.400 that's exactly the way we rated all of the candidates. And this, this is from the Washington

00:30:30.320 Examiner. Yeah, I think that's a fair rating. I think just pure performance wise, I had Ramaswamy

00:30:37.400 slightly ahead of DeSantis. I think, you know, there's a difference between those two candidates

00:30:41.780 in that, you know, Ramaswamy has a lot more to gain, right? People don't really know. He's kind

00:30:46.460 of the first time, it's sort of the first time that a lot of people have ever seen him speak. So

00:30:51.980 I think he had more to gain there. Obviously, the profile of DeSantis is a lot more consistent with

00:30:59.320 someone who could actually win the nomination, where Ramaswamy is... You're not sure yet. Yeah,

00:31:05.080 I think if you think about this, this, the way this race has kind of spread out so far, you have 1.00

00:31:10.660 obviously Trump at number one and DeSantis at number two, and they have a huge group of people

00:31:15.640 that you expect at some point, someone's going to have a moment. If you think about the Pete

00:31:20.400 Buttigieg run in 2020, like it's a, it's a parallel that you could see Ramaswamy potentially hitting,

00:31:27.620 right? Where he's a really, you know, he's a good communicator. Can he get to 13, 14, 15% in these

00:31:33.460 polls? I think it's possible. Yeah. I think that's, that's legitimately possible. And that's

00:31:37.380 about what Buttigieg did. I'm hoping that he is a vice presidential candidate. And, you know,

00:31:46.040 I said earlier, I think that Ramaswamy will be the candidate that Donald Trump chooses. I have no

00:31:52.340 idea because Trump could choose anyone and, and, and blow this all to hell. But Ramaswamy is the kind of

00:32:02.140 guy that is a out of the box thinker. I think he would be deferential to Trump. The only problem

00:32:11.260 is, is that Donald Trump might think that he might be overshadowed, shadowed by Ramaswamy,

00:32:16.560 but I don't think Ramaswamy would, would do that. I think he would play a role, but he would be a very

00:32:23.180 good advisor to Trump. So yesterday, Ramaswamy released a list of people he would consider

00:32:30.020 nominating to the Supreme court. If he were elected president, two of the candidates, Ted Cruz and

00:32:36.920 Mike Lee. And I wish those were the only ones on his list. Um, because I'd like to see both of those

00:32:44.840 guys on the Supreme court and the next president could nominate, be responsible for two other

00:32:52.460 justices on the Supreme court. And one of them might be a replacement for Clarence Thomas.

00:32:56.580 And that if he's not replaced by a Mike Lee or a Ted Cruz, we're in trouble. We need somebody who

00:33:05.060 reads the constitution as it was written. Um, I, I personally, even if we had control of the Senate,

00:33:13.140 I would lose control of the Senate for those two. If they were both put onto the Supreme court,

00:33:18.960 I wouldn't care if we lost the Senate. Those two would be so important.

00:33:23.420 Yeah. Two seats of the Supreme court, I think would outweigh a, you know, a couple of years of

00:33:28.680 Senate control. Uh, I would agree with you on that for sure. Yeah. Especially with the Republican

00:33:33.240 president. Um, though, I mean, there are other good judges you could go to, I mean, but Mike Lee,

00:33:38.160 I mean, Mike Lee would be fantastic on the Supreme court. Mike Lee is, he is Mr. Supreme court and he's,

00:33:44.900 he's, I don't mean this in a bad way. Cause I love him and he's very funny in person. He is

00:33:49.900 really very funny in person, but he's, he's boring enough to be on the Supreme court.

00:33:56.160 You know what I mean? He's like, there's no, you're never going to see like, ah, Mike Lee

00:34:01.620 swinging, you know, with the transvestite. It doesn't happen with Mike. There's never going 1.00

00:34:08.440 to be a scandal with Mike Lee. I would agree. He'll just, his scandal will be, well, I, I read both

00:34:15.540 sides and I read the constitution and I think I have to side with we, the people that's as exciting

00:34:24.020 as it'll ever get. Yeah. And to me, that's the super bowl of excitement that I want from Mike Lee.

00:34:29.720 Yeah. Uh, I, I want to return to some boring politics every once in a while. Um, I like the,

00:34:34.880 I think I like though, the new thing with candidates letting their Supreme court picks out in advance.

00:34:42.780 I, I like it. I mean, Trump, it was the trailblazer here, uh, mainly because people didn't trust him

00:34:48.340 on this stuff. And he, he put this out. Now, of course he did wind up picking two of his three

00:34:54.100 justices that were not on his initial list, which I, I didn't like that. I don't like that,

00:34:59.140 but still, uh, he did. The first one was on the list and that's essentially all he really promised.

00:35:05.180 And, you know, I think you have the three Kavanaugh. I'm still a little, you know, uh, not so warm

00:35:11.360 about, but the other two I'm, I'm, I'm pretty okay with. I think he did a pretty good job there.

00:35:15.240 And certainly like, regardless of how these, these justices turned out, the fact that they got

00:35:20.420 Roe versus Wade overturned is so monumental that it's hard to ever be critical of this.

00:35:25.880 And I like the idea of like these candidates coming out and saying, here, I'm going to stay,

00:35:29.080 I'm going to, this is a statement of principles. And they talk about a budget is essentially a

00:35:33.280 statement of your principles, right? Where you really want to spend your money shows what you

00:35:36.940 actually care about. This falls into that same category. And I, I wish they all would do this.

00:35:41.920 I think that would be a really positive thing going forward. I think there's a change coming

00:35:46.320 though. I really do. I think we are on, if it's not this election, it will be the next election

00:35:52.220 where we are going to have a generational change. And, uh, you know, assuming that we have a country

00:35:58.920 or another election, uh, I think we'll finally get these damn hippies out of power. Okay. Archie. 1.00

00:36:08.820 Okay. Um, uh, there's another thing that he said yesterday and I love this. Um, he said, uh,

00:36:15.980 Biden's top focus appeared to be on diversity and race and gender. While I drew from diverse experiences,

00:36:21.840 current and formal federal judges and former solicitor general to us senators, my sole criteria

00:36:27.740 was to select candidates with an unwavering commitment to an originalist understanding of

00:36:32.900 the U S constitution who also understand the unique threats to Liberty in the 21st century,

00:36:37.580 including lurking state action. Our courts remain the last line of defense against the overreach

00:36:43.500 and weaponization of government as president. I will appoint judges who will protect the integrity

00:36:48.620 of our constitutional Republic. I love that. He also said, uh, that he was signing the women for

00:36:56.660 America's legislative action committees, presidential promise to American women. Have you even heard of

00:37:02.000 that? I looked it up today and I read it. I love this as president of the United States. I promised

00:37:10.320 to uphold the truth that women are exclusively female. Only women can get pregnant and bear children. 0.99

00:37:18.500 Only women can be mothers under my administration. The status and dignity of women and girls will not be 1.00

00:37:25.420 compromised in law or policy. There are two sexes. If you have XX chromosomes, you're a woman. If you 1.00

00:37:34.220 have XY chromosomes, you're a man, period. Gender dysphoria is a mental health disorder. Affirming kids 0.99

00:37:40.800 confusion isn't compassion. It's cruelty. And that's the truth. That's what he tweeted out yesterday.

00:37:46.920 Donald Trump has also signed this. Can you imagine reading this to someone five years ago? They would

00:37:52.020 think you were nuts. Like it's like every single statement in that is blatantly obvious. Full stop. 0.98

00:37:59.520 Stu, we had, uh, a proclamation for the family that was, uh, released by my church in the 1990s.

00:38:10.740 And it was insane. We all looked at it and went, what, uh, I mean, what are they thinking? What,

00:38:17.280 what? And it specifically talked about the roles of men and women and gender and that gender is ordained

00:38:25.720 by God. And there is no changing of gender, all of this stuff. And we're like, what are they even 0.98

00:38:31.740 thinking? In 1995, they did that. Now it's kind of like, huh? That seems pretty smart. Almost prophetic.

00:38:41.300 Yeah. Well, yeah. If not prophetic, they saw that coming for sure. Yeah. It weren't. I mean, so you

00:38:47.840 look at just five years ago, eight years ago, and that's what I really, I would really like you to

00:38:54.040 talk to your friends who are lost in this and just say, look, we know each other. No offense. I am not

00:39:01.880 trying to change your mind. I want you to change my mind. Tell me the new information that you received

00:39:10.880 because I know you 10 years ago, you would have said, that's not true. So let's follow the science

00:39:18.560 here. What new information did you receive about how this affects children? Um, the suicide rate,

00:39:29.300 anything. Tell me the scientific evidence that has changed your mind. They won't be able to do it.

00:39:35.740 So wait, so, so if the science is on the other side, why did you change your mind? And what's

00:39:47.100 happened? Because you are a total, you're in a completely different in a position and a position

00:39:53.480 that you would have said 10 years ago was the position of someone who was nuts. How did you get 0.99

00:40:00.460 there? I think you're totally right. And you know what the answer of course is, it's like, I don't

00:40:06.860 know, Twitter politics. I don't, you know, it's something, it's something outside of science and

00:40:13.020 reality. And like, I almost feel uncomfortable calling this science. It's, it's like these truths

00:40:18.320 will be held as self, these are self-evident truths, right? This isn't even, you don't even have to go to

00:40:23.960 science. We all owe this inherently to be true. Um, you know, uh, but I'm, I'm, I'm only using that

00:40:32.020 sign, you know, tell me scientifically because of an argument. I don't want to get into your feelings

00:40:37.340 and everything else. Tell me, let's follow the science. Let's follow the science. Yet this

00:40:42.060 argument is entirely feelings. That's all it is. It has nothing to do with science. You know,

00:40:48.380 this is, uh, um, um, what's her face? Uh, Rachel Levine, uh, the, uh, very high ranking official in

00:40:55.920 our government who is transgender talking about, uh, about this, talking about how children should 0.99

00:41:01.300 have sex access to sex reassignment services. And, and, uh, Rachel says, quote, adolescence is hard

00:41:08.220 and puberty is hard. Okay. Yeah, that's true. What if you're going through the wrong puberty?

00:41:12.740 There's no such thing as the wrong puberty. That's not a, that's not a thing. What you're

00:41:19.840 talking about is not an actual thing. There's no wrong puberty. That's not, that's not a thing.

00:41:25.420 But then, uh, Rachel goes on to say, what if you inside feel that you are female, but now you're 0.99

00:41:33.660 going through a male puberty? And of course the answer to that question, right. The answer to that

00:41:39.100 question is your feelings are wrong. Your feelings are incorrect. That he's talking about a child

00:41:47.380 here. This does not mean the child is a bad person, but lots of people have feelings that do not align

00:41:54.900 with reality. And so the correction to that is to correct the feelings, not to correct the body,

00:42:02.180 to match your incorrect vibe. If you feel that you are a man, we don't correct the body to make you

00:42:10.900 feel that way. We instead work on you and your feelings so that you actually, uh, recognize

00:42:17.180 reality. Cause that's kind of important in our society. Glenn.

00:42:20.400 Nah, nah, nah, nah.
