The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Chris Bedford ｜ 3⧸16⧸22

00:00:00.000 Hey, we pretty much stayed focused on Ukraine and what it means to us, what it means to you.

00:00:05.980 We started with President Zelensky's speech, which was very well written for Americans.

00:00:12.680 I have a dream! Twice, twice in the speech. So what does that mean? What is Congress and

00:00:20.620 the administration going to do with all of this? He specifically asked for a new global organization

00:00:27.060 and he said all companies need to unite against Russia. Well, that's great and everything, 0.99

00:00:33.940 except Russia is defaulting today on something. And they're also making deals with Saudi Arabia.

00:00:41.320 And as we'll tell you in today's podcast, India, that will directly affect you. Oh, and one other

00:00:48.680 thing, interest rates are being raised most likely today. And we go into the new digital dollar.

00:00:57.060 What does that mean? And why? Why would that ever happen? All on today's podcast.

00:01:11.120 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:15.280 Here is the president of the Ukraine, his virtual address to Congress.

00:01:25.980 Okay, Nancy, come on. She's just torture. 1.00

00:01:40.940 Thank you. Thank you very much. Madam Speaker, members of the Congress, ladies and gentlemen,

00:01:49.460 Americans, friends, I'm proud to greet you from Ukraine, from our capital, city of Kiev,

00:01:57.760 a city that is under missile and airstrike from Russian troops every day. But it doesn't give up.

00:02:08.620 And we have not even thought about it for a second. Just like many other cities and communities in our

00:02:17.820 beautiful country, which found themselves in the worst war since World War II. I have the honor to greet you on behalf of the Ukrainian people,

00:02:30.560 great and freedom loving people, who for eight years have been resisting the Russian aggression.

00:02:39.380 Those who give their best sons and daughters to stop this full-scale Russian invasion. 0.69

00:02:50.340 Right now, the destiny of our country is being decided. The destiny of our people, whether Ukrainians will be free,

00:03:02.720 whether they will be able to preserve their democracy. Russia has attacked not just us, not just our land,

00:03:10.860 not just our cities. It went on a brutal offensive against our values, basic human values.

00:03:19.080 It threw tanks and planes against our freedom, against our right to live freely in our own country,

00:03:27.660 choosing our own future, against our desire for happiness, against our national dreams,

00:03:37.540 just like the same dreams you have, you, Americans, just like anyone else in the United States.

00:03:47.580 I remember your national memorial in Rushmore, the faces of your prominent presidents,

00:03:55.260 those who lead the foundation of the United States, of America, as it is today. Democracy, independence,

00:04:03.680 freedom and care for everyone, for every person, for everyone who works diligently, who lives honestly,

00:04:12.580 who respects the law. We, in Ukraine, want the same for our people, all that is normal part of your own life.

00:04:24.260 Ladies and gentlemen, friends, Americans, in your great history, you have pages that would allow you to understand Ukrainians.

00:04:35.860 Understand us now, when you need it right now, when we need you right now.

00:04:42.440 Remember Pearl Harbor, terrible morning of December 7, 1941, when your sky was black from the planes attacking you.

00:04:53.220 Just remember it. Remember September the 11th, a terrible day in 2001, when evil tried to turn your cities,

00:05:04.700 independent territories, when innocent people were attacked, attacked from air, yes, just like nobody else expected it.

00:05:21.480 You could not stop it. Our country experience the same every day.

00:05:28.240 Right now, at this moment, every night, for three weeks now, various Ukrainian cities,

00:05:36.800 Otessa and Kharch, Chernyhev and Sumerh, Jitomir and Lviv, Mariupol and Dnipro,

00:05:41.120 Russia has turned the Ukrainian sky into a source of death for thousands of people.

00:05:49.800 Russian troops have already fired nearly 1,000 missiles at Ukraine, countless bombs.

00:05:58.080 They use drones to kill us with precision.

00:06:02.380 This is a terror that Europe has not seen, has not seen for 80 years.

00:06:07.040 And we are asking for a reply, for an answer to this terror from the whole world.

00:06:13.620 Is this a lot to ask for, to create a no-fly zone over Ukraine, to save people?

00:06:20.920 Is this too much to ask? Humanitary no-fly zone, something that Russia would not be able to terrorize our free cities. 0.61

00:06:32.580 If this is too much to ask, we offer an alternative.

00:06:36.660 You know what kind of defense systems we need, S-300 and other similar systems.

00:06:44.120 You know how much depends on the battlefield, on the ability to use aircraft, powerful, strong aviation to protect our people, our freedom, our land.

00:06:56.380 We need aircrafts that can help Ukraine, help Europe.

00:07:03.840 And you know that they exist and you have them, but they are on Earth, not in the Ukrainian sky. 0.99

00:07:13.720 They do not defend our people.

00:07:15.960 I have a dream.

00:07:17.240 These words are known to each of you.

00:07:19.520 Today I can say, I have a need.

00:07:22.640 I need to protect our sky.

00:07:25.280 I need your decision, your help, which means exactly the same, the same you feel when you hear the words, I have a dream.

00:07:36.340 Ladies and gentlemen, friends, Ukraine is grateful to the United States for its overwhelming support for everything that your government and your people have done for us,

00:07:50.680 for weapons, for weapons and ammunition, for training, for finances, for leadership in the free world, which helps us to pressure the aggressor economically.

00:08:00.640 I am grateful to President Biden for his personal involvement, for his sincere commitment to the defense of Ukraine and democracy all over the world.

00:08:10.600 I am grateful to you for the resolution, which recognizes all those who commit crimes against Ukraine, against the Ukrainian people as war criminals.

00:08:20.260 However, now, it is true, in the darkest time for our country, for the whole Euro, I call on you to do more.

00:08:29.220 For new packages of sanctions are needed, constantly, every week, until the Russian military machine stops.

00:08:37.460 Restrictions are needed for everyone on whom this unjust regime is based.

00:08:45.420 We've proposed that the United States sanctions all politicians in the Russian Federation, who remain in their offices and do not cut ties with those who are responsible for the aggression against Ukraine.

00:09:01.620 We've proposed that the Russian military.

00:09:02.620 From the United States sanctions are the Prime Minister of the Russian Americans, who remain in the Russian military.

00:09:03.620 From the state Duma members, to the last official who has lack of morale to break the state terror.

00:09:08.620 All Americans' companies must leave Russia from their market, leave their market immediately because it is flooded with our blood. 1.00

00:09:21.620 Ladies and gentlemen, members of Congress, please take the lead.

00:09:27.080 If you have companies in your districts who finance the Russian military machine-leaving

00:09:33.400 business in Russia, you should put pressure.

00:09:35.900 I am asking to make sure that the Russians do not receive a single penny that they used 1.00

00:09:42.620 to destroy people in Ukraine.

00:09:45.780 The destruction of our country, the destruction of Europe.

00:09:50.620 All American ports should be closed for Russian goods.

00:09:55.440 Peace is more important than income, and we have to defend this principle in the whole

00:10:02.180 world.

00:10:03.180 We already became part of the anti-war coalition, a big anti-war coalition that unites many countries,

00:10:12.500 dozens of countries, those who reacted in principle to President Putin's decision to invade our

00:10:18.200 country.

00:10:19.200 But we need to move on and do more.

00:10:21.860 We need to create new tools to respond quickly and stop the war, the full-scale Russian invasion 0.99

00:10:29.120 of Ukraine, which began on February 24th.

00:10:33.880 And it would be fair if it ended in a day, in 24 hours, that evil would be punished immediately.

00:10:43.940 Today, the world does not have such tools.

00:10:51.760 The war of the past have prompted our predecessors to create institutions that should protect us

00:10:59.420 from war.

00:11:00.760 But they unfortunately don't work.

00:11:03.980 We see it, you see it.

00:11:05.580 So we need new ones, new institutions, new alliances, and we offer them.

00:11:11.780 We propose to create an association, U24, United for Peace, a union of responsible countries,

00:11:20.100 that have the strength and consciousness to stop conflicts immediately.

00:11:25.740 Provide all the necessary assistance in 24 hours, if necessary, even weapons, if necessary,

00:11:31.900 sanctions, humanitarian support, political support, finances, everything you need to keep

00:11:38.780 the peace and quickly save the world, to save lives.

00:11:44.280 In addition, such association, such union could provide assistance to those who are experiencing

00:11:50.620 natural disasters, man-made disasters, who felt victims to humanitarian crisis or epidemics.

00:11:57.960 Remember how difficult it was for the world to do the simplest thing, just to give vaccines,

00:12:04.780 against COVID to save lives, to prevent new strains.

00:12:09.220 The world spent months, years doing things like that much faster, to make sure there are

00:12:15.860 no human losses, no victims.

00:12:19.200 Ladies and gentlemen, Americans, if such alliance would exist today, that is U24, we would be able

00:12:27.780 to save thousands of lives in our country.

00:12:32.900 In many countries of the world, those who need peace, those who suffer inhumane destruction.

00:12:42.300 I ask you to watch one video, video of what the Russian troops did in our country, in our land.

00:12:52.200 We have to stop it.

00:12:54.100 We must prevent it, preventatively destroy every single aggressor who seeks to subjugate

00:13:02.860 other nations.

00:13:04.540 Please watch the video.

00:13:06.720 So now, he's going into a video that is showing all of the streets and the cities of Ukraine, before

00:13:17.380 the Russians came in, and then the bombings that were happening, and showing the same cities,

00:13:26.380 showing scenes of children being killed, dying.

00:13:32.060 It is quite graphic.

00:13:37.820 And horrific babies being wrapped, mass graves, and just absolutely destroyed cities.

00:13:52.900 This president of Ukraine is brilliant at using the media.

00:14:07.480 So many images that you haven't seen since.

00:14:14.800 Just reminiscent.

00:14:15.800 I guess we've seen them.

00:14:16.800 Just very reminiscent, because of where it is, of World War II.

00:14:31.800 Still the video of children either in hiding, or in the streets, or in hospitals.

00:14:45.800 If you see what Russia did to Chechnya, this is pretty much what they did. 0.72

00:14:52.560 Then, it finally ends with, close the sky over Ukraine, please.

00:14:59.040 And, we then return back to President Zelensky here in just a minute.

00:15:10.800 Let me just quickly, so we don't have to stop, let me tell you that this portion of the program

00:15:15.200 is brought to you by My Patriot Supply.

00:15:17.740 Oh, here's the president, we'll, oh, tell me how much time I have.

00:15:24.500 My Patriot Supply, please be prepared.

00:15:27.080 We have all kinds of problems that are headed our way.

00:15:31.420 As you know, in a few minutes, I'll tell you about the food shortage that is already coming.

00:15:36.080 Please, prepare yourself, preparewithglenn.com, get a special $150 discount, be prepared for

00:15:42.640 whatever is coming, preparewithglenn.com, do it right now, preparewithglenn.com.

00:15:47.760 So, here is President Zelensky.

00:15:49.880 Today, it's the best to be the leader of the nation.

00:15:52.320 Today, it takes to be the leader of the world.

00:15:54.760 Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

00:16:00.660 Peace in your country doesn't depend anymore on your people and your people.

00:16:07.600 It depends on those next to you, on those who are strong.

00:16:13.040 Strong doesn't mean weak.

00:16:18.320 Strong is brave and ready to fight for the life of his citizens and citizens of the world.

00:16:27.000 For human rights, for freedom, for the right to live decently and to die when your time comes.

00:16:34.780 And not when it's wanted by someone else, by your neighbor.

00:16:40.000 Today, the Ukrainian people are defending not only Ukraine.

00:16:46.520 We are fighting for the values of Europe and the world, sacrificing our lives in the name of the future.

00:16:55.380 That's why today, the American people are helping not just Ukraine, but Europe and the world to keep the planet alive,

00:17:05.820 to keep justice in history.

00:17:08.340 Now, I'm almost 45 years old.

00:17:13.820 Today, my age stopped when the hearts of more than 100 children stopped beating.

00:17:20.360 I see no sense in life, if it cannot stop the deaths.

00:17:28.720 And this is my main mission as the leader of my people, great Ukrainians.

00:17:35.240 And as the leader of my nation, I am addressing the president Biden.

00:17:43.520 You are the leader of the nation, of your great nation.

00:17:49.660 I wish you to be the leader of the world.

00:17:53.860 Because being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

00:18:01.780 Thank you.

00:18:03.200 Slava Ukraine.

00:18:04.000 That is the president of Ukraine finally calling on President Biden.

00:18:14.560 Biden, you are the leader of a nation, but to be the leader of the world, you need to be the leader of peace.

00:18:20.300 This is a fascinating study of diplomacy here and the use of modern technology.

00:18:35.160 You know, it is there's really been one other time that this has been used this effectively.

00:18:43.520 And that is when Winston Churchill spoke in front of Congress.

00:18:50.400 This is what he said right after Pearl Harbor from the well of the Senate.

00:18:56.260 If you have an enlarged prostate, do this.

00:18:57.260 That's not it. 0.51

00:18:57.660 It's a large prostate thing.

00:18:59.440 That would have been weird if he would have come and said that.

00:19:01.400 That was the beginning of the speech, which was shocking at the time.

00:19:04.460 Yeah, very shocking at the time.

00:19:05.560 But important for us to learn about the prostate issue.

00:19:07.300 Thank you very much, Stu.

00:19:08.540 Okay, so if you want to just pick it up here.

00:19:11.200 Our light exploding.

00:19:13.520 One continent at least has been cleansed and purged forever from fascist or Nazi spirits. 0.60

00:19:21.120 He talked about how we had lost everything because we wouldn't stick together.

00:19:28.120 But now we have to come together.

00:19:31.620 And this speech is really known as a galvanizing speech that brought everyone together.

00:19:40.060 And he, just like Zelensky did, suggested that there should be some alliance.

00:19:44.940 We would have been able to avoid World War II had we had a real alliance in World War I.

00:19:53.420 It strikes me as...

00:19:59.020 I don't recall a time when Nancy Pelosi or the Democrats had been this for war.

00:20:10.900 The propaganda here is quite remarkable.

00:20:15.320 Get to the point where there's many people on the left suggesting that those who oppose it should be arrested.

00:20:21.320 Arrested.

00:20:21.480 Which is fascinating coming through the Bush era.

00:20:23.340 I know.

00:20:23.780 From the same people like Keith Olbermann.

00:20:25.740 I know.

00:20:26.200 Who were saying how important dissent was back in the day.

00:20:30.560 So...

00:20:31.200 And we're not even involved in this war, by the way, we should point out.

00:20:33.300 It's not even our war.

00:20:34.520 Yeah.

00:20:34.920 It was helping.

00:20:35.160 Well, are we not going to be involved in this war?

00:20:39.020 At least not yet.

00:20:39.980 I have a feeling you are seeing.

00:20:45.380 If you want to look at reality, I think World War III has already begun.

00:20:51.100 We are just waiting for the final papers to be done.

00:20:59.800 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:21:05.160 Hey, last week on the show, we had a member of the Mississippi Freedom Caucus.

00:21:17.160 Do you remember Steve Hopkins?

00:21:19.460 Well, he told us, as he described, the most heinous piece of legislation he has ever seen that was about to be passed.

00:21:29.140 It was a tri-state compact bill between Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

00:21:35.160 To create a quasi-governmental agency packed with unelected officials who would be given enormous power, including the authority, to issue bonds, to intervene in any commerce affecting the district, even the power of eminent domain.

00:21:51.940 It was an unabashed public-private partnership designed to shift power from the representatives of the people to unelected bureaucrats.

00:22:00.540 It was all done under an organization named Region Smart, who, what a shocker, has ties to BlackRock.

00:22:08.260 Well, this heinous bill, I am happy to say, you stopped.

00:22:11.660 We received an email from our contacts in the Freedom Caucus of Mississippi letting us know, after being flooded with calls, the bill is dead.

00:22:18.900 The email said,

00:22:19.900 The chairman saw the show with Beck and Representative Hopkins and knew he couldn't possibly present it to the floor without getting absolutely hammered.

00:22:28.060 The grassroots also saw the show and flooded the House members with calls and emails.

00:22:31.860 I saw many reps posting on Facebook and Twitter that the bill was dead, so their constituents would quit hounding them.

00:22:38.180 I also heard the bill in Tennessee is now struggling as more people are becoming aware of it.

00:22:42.360 So, Tennessee, it is your turn.

00:22:45.500 As I have always said, I believe this audience is going to be a turning point.

00:22:49.920 You are going to be the ones that save America.

00:22:52.380 An update in Idaho.

00:22:54.820 There is one more chance for it to come today, but I don't think they're going to do it.

00:23:00.180 The treasurer says she wants the power to enforce it.

00:23:05.440 The bill says it should not be in the government's hand to enforce it.

00:23:09.780 It should go through the courts, and the average person should be able to bring litigation up if you go to a bank and they turn you down because of an ESG score.

00:23:20.220 The real story in Idaho, and it is very, very sad, the real story in Idaho is the big banks got to your representatives.

00:23:30.000 It is very clear.

00:23:31.560 I can show you.

00:23:33.040 I mean, I was getting daily updates.

00:23:34.340 I can show you who is meeting with the representatives, and perhaps I think I'm going to – well, no, I know I'm going to share that with you as you get closer to your election because you have to know who stood with it, who stood against it, and who just takes all of their cues from the big banks.

00:23:54.940 The big banks are a real, real problem when it comes to ESG and the Great Reset.

00:24:02.700 Let me – can I ask you a related question here?

00:24:05.000 Yeah.

00:24:06.240 The ESG score that you might get, you talk about this often in that in a change of currency, there would be programmable money.

00:24:14.440 None of these things are like familiar to any American.

00:24:20.160 A programmable money does not necessarily seem familiar typically.

00:24:23.380 But is it – could it be used in a way similar to the way that food stamps, EBT cards, SNAP cards, where if you are taking money from the government for food stamps, you know, what used to be called food stamps, you can't buy certain things.

00:24:40.020 Yes.

00:24:40.480 So the money – your money is no good here, essentially, except they don't give it to you for free.

00:24:44.400 You can't buy a certain – maybe a luxury item or I feel like at times they limit like alcohol purchases and things like that.

00:24:52.540 So you can't use the money from the government to buy things like that.

00:24:55.940 Is that how that would work?

00:24:56.880 So I think kind of.

00:24:58.820 Here's the difference.

00:25:00.620 An EBT card or SNAP or whatever you call it in your state, a food stamp card, everyone gets the same food stamp card.

00:25:08.020 So everyone who has that card, first of all, has asked for it.

00:25:14.120 They have asked for help, okay?

00:25:16.960 And so that has allowed us as a people to say, okay, well, you know, I guess is the exception of up in the Northeast, I think they just changed this.

00:25:27.820 You know, you're not going to have a lobster dinner on me, okay?

00:25:30.560 You're not going to have champagne.

00:25:31.920 Now, I guess in Philadelphia, it has changed where you can have champagne and a lobster dinner on the people.

00:25:39.120 What a surprise that the Democrats changed that.

00:25:42.560 Anyway, you can't buy what you want.

00:25:47.180 You can buy what the state says is good for you and reasonable, okay?

00:25:53.660 But that happens across the board evenly.

00:25:57.520 This is digital money.

00:25:59.380 So it's not going to change your life.

00:26:01.300 People will say, we have digital money already.

00:26:03.520 Yeah, we do.

00:26:04.600 We use our debit card and everything else.

00:26:06.700 It's similar to that, except every dollar in your account, your account will be with the Fed, the Federal Reserve.

00:26:15.500 Every bit of that will now, they'll never have to ask the bank for any information on you, okay?

00:26:22.260 All the transactions that you make, everything, taxes should be immediately deducted, okay?

00:26:28.420 There's no, there's no, it should kill the tax industry. 1.00

00:26:33.900 But they'll have complete control and they'll know what you're buying, okay?

00:26:40.120 Here's where the ESG score comes in.

00:26:43.360 Unlike welfare, which everybody's rule is the same.

00:26:47.720 You can't have, you know, champagne and lobster.

00:26:51.140 This is different.

00:26:54.680 Depending on your ecological score, your social justice score, for instance, I can guarantee you, if you are a parent that is speaking out against the, let's say you're speaking out in favor of Ron DeSantis and his parental rights legislation, which is being called the, what?

00:27:19.360 Don't say gay bill. 0.99

00:27:20.400 If you're speaking out in favor of that, you will get a low S score, which will then, depending on where the limits are, will then tell you, well, you can no longer buy things at this store.

00:27:38.000 You can no longer, you know, Disney is not allowing anybody who has that low of a score to come in because you're a reputational risk.

00:27:50.320 We can't have you here.

00:27:52.140 We don't want you here.

00:27:53.760 You can't buy our products.

00:27:55.600 You know, the little polo pony is on our shirt.

00:27:59.260 We don't want you wearing it, okay?

00:28:01.780 And it will, it will start dismissing you.

00:28:06.920 This is exactly what is in China, okay? 1.00

00:28:09.420 Anybody who says it can't happen here, you're lying to yourself, okay?

00:28:14.660 Wake up.

00:28:16.560 The world is different.

00:28:18.860 This has to happen, according to the think tanks in all of our financial industry.

00:28:24.760 It has to happen because of modern monetary theory, because we're just printing money.

00:28:30.620 The second half of that is they must have complete control of money, of labor, and individual spending habits.

00:28:40.820 So, you may not be able to go across the country for a family trip, but if you're going across the country because you want to protest with BLM in Washington, D.C., of course, your card will work.

00:28:57.640 You can get gas.

00:28:58.420 You can get airplane tickets.

00:29:00.400 But January 6th, no, you, you, and you, you can't go because we've seen what you're doing on social media.

00:29:08.620 This is, and here's the real difference between not only the programmable, which means every dollar, every cent has your name and identity on it, and it reacts to your name.

00:29:25.940 You go into a store.

00:29:26.900 Sorry, your card doesn't work here.

00:29:29.920 It not only is programmable, but you didn't ask for it.

00:29:35.260 That's the big difference with welfare.

00:29:37.660 And with welfare, there's a way out.

00:29:40.400 If you don't like those rules, if you're in a situation where you just can't get out of it, you have to live with them.

00:29:47.320 But if you change somehow or another your way of life, either you get a job or you get married and you start making money and you pull yourself out.

00:29:57.440 Well, bank heist, a bank heist, not necessarily.

00:30:01.000 You then, unless you were doing it for BLM, then you get extra bonus points.

00:30:08.500 Then you can get out and you can buy anything you want again.

00:30:12.460 With ESG, you didn't ask for it.

00:30:17.100 But trust me, soon, soon, you will start hearing talk about how this has gone unstable.

00:30:26.080 We need new stability, the value of the dollar, what's happening with Ukraine, what's happening with China.

00:30:32.860 We've got to change.

00:30:34.460 It will be good for you.

00:30:36.160 There will be bank holidays.

00:30:37.960 We're going to change to this new Fed digital dollar.

00:30:41.420 It's not going to change your life at all.

00:30:42.820 It's just like you're using a debit card now.

00:30:45.300 It's going to be run the same way, except it won't be.

00:30:50.260 And you will, because of an emergency, have to take this Fed coin.

00:30:55.780 They will then tell you, we're going to trade your U.S. dollars.

00:31:00.780 You got them in a bank.

00:31:02.260 Just transfer those over to the Fed bank.

00:31:06.540 We'll destroy the U.S. dollar.

00:31:08.300 We'll give you 60 cents on every dollar that you have towards this new Fed coin.

00:31:13.960 They, in this emergency, I guarantee you, will reset the world's loans, the bank's loans.

00:31:21.820 They'll mark all that stuff down so they get relief.

00:31:26.060 But you will not get relief.

00:31:28.800 Your loans will not be lowered.

00:31:33.340 So, your question is, I'm going to have this.

00:31:39.260 It will be the only currency that will be taken.

00:31:42.060 The only other option will be barter, but I can guarantee you that will be illegal.

00:31:49.700 Do I take that?

00:31:51.900 Most people will say, yeah, because it's no big deal, until they have it.

00:31:56.100 And then they realize every time they disagree with the government, their score goes down.

00:32:01.120 China.

00:32:03.740 So, are you going to go along with it and just be a part of that?

00:32:11.080 And God forbid, somebody sounds like this, takes over that system.

00:32:16.900 You're there.

00:32:17.980 All you have to do is inject that chip into you.

00:32:20.740 And if you've gone that far, this will be easier.

00:32:23.280 It's for your own good.

00:32:24.260 How far are you willing to go?

00:32:29.680 And if you don't take it, what does that mean for your family?

00:32:34.460 What does it mean to have no ESG score?

00:32:40.920 You know who's not going to be bothered by this?

00:32:42.620 The Amish.

00:32:44.680 You know who won't be bothered by this?

00:32:47.080 The people who have already spit themselves out of the system and are already living in a community where, you know, Joe fixes cars.

00:32:55.220 And I just bring him some, you know, I bring him some vegetables that I grew in my garden and we just swap.

00:33:01.820 That is the way I think that's going to be frowned upon and possibly illegal as well.

00:33:08.720 But what do you do?

00:33:09.680 Do you get to a point to where you're like, hey, I fix cars and I don't take the Fed coin.

00:33:14.920 But if somebody wants their car fixed, if they leave it on this corner on Mondays, I'll come by and pick it up.

00:33:22.340 Just leave some meat in the back seat for me.

00:33:26.280 I mean, is that what we get to?

00:33:27.660 I don't know.

00:33:28.660 I don't know.

00:33:30.380 But every one of us are going to have to ask this question.

00:33:32.940 And as crazy as it now sounds, it will not sound crazy when we come to it.

00:33:39.640 I take that back.

00:33:40.780 It will sound crazy for everyone who hasn't heard the warning in advance.

00:33:47.480 If you didn't hear the warning in advance, there will be a perfectly good reason.

00:33:53.460 And most likely it will have to do with this war and with what's happening with China and Russia and Saudi Arabia and the price of oil.

00:34:04.020 And it will disrupt our dollar and we will have to do something immediately.

00:34:09.120 And most people will be so freaked out, it will happen so fast, they'll just go along with it.

00:34:17.120 That's when it won't sound crazy to you.

00:34:22.200 Dismiss this warning at your own risk.

00:34:25.760 Because you won't have time to think about it when it comes.

00:34:29.820 If it never comes, praise be to God that I am wrong.

00:34:38.180 But I am telling you, it is coming faster than you hope.

00:34:46.560 And hopefully with more time than I think.

00:34:51.300 I am surrounded by a new family of people who have their life back because of relief factor.

00:35:14.120 I'm one of them.

00:35:15.080 I was in pain and got to the point to where I just couldn't do it anymore.

00:35:21.380 Did anybody else feel like, you know, I just can't get up another day?

00:35:27.220 We have our life back because of relief factor.

00:35:30.840 It's not a television commercial.

00:35:33.260 It's a group of real people with real results that had real pain.

00:35:40.660 Try it yourself.

00:35:41.980 Relief factor.

00:35:42.620 This guy, when he started, completely bald.

00:35:45.300 Look at him now.

00:35:47.260 Doesn't do anything for your hair.

00:35:49.640 But it will help you.

00:35:51.880 Get out of pain.

00:35:52.560 Give it a shot.

00:35:53.320 Try the three-week quick start.

00:35:55.240 Doesn't work?

00:35:56.060 Move on.

00:35:56.940 But we're here to tell you, it works.

00:35:59.980 ReliefFactor.com

00:36:00.960 Christopher Bedford, the founding partner of RightForge,

00:36:06.340 which if we have time, I want to talk to you about.

00:36:08.480 Give, send, go sure made a huge mistake by not being a partner with you.

00:36:14.300 You're also the senior editor of The Federalist.

00:36:17.820 And I wanted to bring him in because he has an article out.

00:36:21.460 Two years after lockdowns, the West troubles aren't ending.

00:36:25.040 They are just beginning.

00:36:26.660 So, by the way, welcome.

00:36:28.480 A great article laid out.

00:36:31.920 Thank you for having me.

00:36:33.640 Looking at this, COVID, the end of COVID policies are kind of happening right now.

00:36:37.600 People are feeling springtime is here.

00:36:39.560 It's a return to normalcy.

00:36:41.240 The masks are finally going off the children.

00:36:43.120 This morning, the masks went off kids in D.C. public schools for the first time.

00:36:47.040 And people have this reaction to say, we can move on.

00:36:51.080 But I don't think that COVID, this is the end of an era.

00:36:53.960 I think this is just the beginning of an era that we're entering to in the West.

00:36:57.560 We've just made a map.

00:36:59.240 Over the last two years, we have changed our relationships with every single major aspect

00:37:03.260 of our society.

00:37:04.340 Our churches, we have a different relationship with because a lot of them were closed for

00:37:08.280 periods of time.

00:37:09.100 They knelt before the secular. 0.51

00:37:11.120 Yeah.

00:37:11.320 A lot of people fell away and never returned.

00:37:14.000 About 20%, I think, less seats in the pews right now because people who use, people who

00:37:19.020 told you the sacraments are essential to eternal life or to said, don't worry, you might

00:37:23.060 get sick. 0.82

00:37:23.800 That's a break in faith.

00:37:25.400 Our relationships with the teachers are completely different than they were.

00:37:29.100 The parents are now under the boot of teachers.

00:37:31.500 They're in charge.

00:37:32.260 Parents weren't even allowed into their schools to check on their kids or make an appointment

00:37:35.440 for years.

00:37:36.960 Our relationship with the politicians are completely different.

00:37:39.300 They now, and the bureaucrats, they make the rules.

00:37:41.980 We just answer them.

00:37:42.920 We're all in this together.

00:37:43.840 You're selfish to say otherwise.

00:37:45.600 Our relationship even with the police, if you're in a place like New York City or California

00:37:48.980 or with police officers who are already under assault all over the country,

00:37:52.660 now have to come in and arrest people with their children for dining out.

00:37:56.380 Our relationships, even with healthcare workers, someone who always thought, well, these folks

00:37:59.940 are on our side.

00:38:00.740 Now they're saying a husband who's dying of COVID can't be with his wife who's dying of

00:38:04.700 COVID.

00:38:05.020 They have to die alone.

00:38:05.920 You can't see your parents when they're dying.

00:38:07.720 You can't visit someone who's got terminal cancer or hold your baby after you have one

00:38:11.700 because somebody might get COVID.

00:38:14.820 The entire West's interactions with our society have completely fundamentally altered.

00:38:20.120 And now everyone just wants to move on.

00:38:22.480 But this is when, I think when historians look at this, just the way they used to look

00:38:26.020 at Black Tuesday was the kickoff, the stock market crash and the Dust Bowl and eventually 0.98

00:38:30.520 World War II, they're going to look back and say COVID was a kickoff, the lockdowns,

00:38:35.120 not the disease, the human reaction to kick off to the stagflation we're risking these

00:38:39.200 wildly fluctuating fuel prices or land war in Europe.

00:38:43.460 This is going to be the beginning of what defines a pretty dark era for the American people.

00:38:48.300 We need to wrap our heads around it.

00:38:49.620 What does that mean to you?

00:38:52.160 It means that this is going to be a very, very trying time.

00:38:56.300 And in what way?

00:38:57.720 For the American people, because we're going to be pushed into all kinds of different policy

00:39:01.940 decisions.

00:39:02.360 Like you talk about all the time, the great reset at a time when what's made the American

00:39:07.120 regime possible for all these years is a thriving middle class, Christian beliefs and strong

00:39:13.100 church attendance, civil and specific institutions that keep us going.

00:39:18.220 And every one of those things has been weakened.

00:39:20.020 And entrepreneurship.

00:39:21.240 And entrepreneurship.

00:39:22.060 The small business.

00:39:23.400 The people who were absolutely wiped out.

00:39:25.900 One of my co-founders at Right Forge had a thriving catering company and event space down

00:39:31.300 in Washington, D.C. doing over a thousand events.

00:39:33.640 He ended up staying with me for a period of time during COVID because he lost everything.

00:39:37.620 And fortunately, he's been able to hire most of those employees back for Right Forge.

00:39:40.400 But the entrepreneur class was smashed.

00:39:42.380 Now, if we're going to enter this era where people, the elites are trying to say, we're

00:39:46.460 doing a big reset.

00:39:47.340 We're changing this world.

00:39:48.520 We're going to make it in our image.

00:39:49.980 And we lack the civic institutions, the middle class, the economy to really push back, then

00:39:55.580 we're in trouble.

00:39:56.400 And I got news to you, electing a bunch of Republicans, which is going to happen in a

00:39:59.720 year until D.C. is not going to fix it.

00:40:01.500 Not going to fix it.

00:40:02.260 It needs to be local.

00:40:03.240 Actually, talking to Ricky yesterday, kind of blew my mind.

00:40:06.600 Sorry, executive producer of TV.

00:40:07.840 Go ahead.

00:40:08.360 Sorry.

00:40:08.780 Yeah, that's all right.

00:40:09.280 Talking to Ricky yesterday blew my mind because he said, you know, two years ago, no one knew

00:40:12.800 the name of the county judge in Dallas.

00:40:14.780 No one was paying attention to the local politicians.

00:40:17.320 People, San Francisco couldn't name their school board.

00:40:20.040 Loudoun County couldn't name their school board.

00:40:22.040 So if there's going to be a revival, which we really do need in a spiritual and a political

00:40:25.860 sense, the local politics of it are what's going to drive it.

00:40:29.040 People seizing that.

00:40:30.380 I was talking to a pastor just this weekend and he said, I've just disconnected.

00:40:34.580 I don't know what's going on in the world.

00:40:35.660 I'm just kind of focusing on my thing.

00:40:37.340 And I'm like, pastor, you better wake up because things are happening and they're on

00:40:43.940 your doorstep and your people need are going to need to know how do I weather this?

00:40:50.680 How do I weather this?

00:40:52.060 If you are not as a pastor speaking out right now, it's why your pews are becoming more and

00:40:58.940 more empty.

00:40:59.620 Quite honestly, you didn't have enough to offer to be able to have people understand

00:41:05.260 through a biblical sense what they're seeing with their own eyes.

00:41:11.040 When you see the American great revivals that we've had and we're famous for, those weren't

00:41:15.480 pastors who simply opened up the church doors and said, I hope someone comes in.

00:41:19.220 They were people who rode on horseback and in carriage thousands and thousands of miles

00:41:23.540 up and down the Eastern seaboard, talking and preaching two, three times a day to thousands

00:41:28.480 and thousands of people, having a reach that a lot of modern folks would be amazed at their

00:41:33.840 reach.

00:41:34.080 And they did it just by who could hear their voice.

00:41:37.020 So we need exactly what you're talking about.

00:41:39.460 Priests and pastors can't just open the doors and say, I hope you come in.

00:41:42.480 We need to go out.

00:41:43.820 We're engaged in spiritual warfare right now on the technological level, political level.

00:41:48.000 So, and our people need to understand that they don't, our religious leaders don't serve 0.71

00:41:53.680 governors and mayors.

00:41:54.600 They are princes of the church.

00:41:56.020 They should address each other as equals, not as servants, and go out there and realize

00:41:59.840 that they're the people who saved this country.

00:42:01.260 You know, it's, I've mentioned this a couple of times today because I think it's, it's worth

00:42:04.780 saying, was it the grand leadership of any politician in the world, let alone ours, that got

00:42:16.000 Nike and Adidas and, you know, Pornhub and all of these gigantic corporations to pull out

00:42:24.200 of Russia.

00:42:25.660 No, it wasn't our politicians.

00:42:27.200 It wasn't a government.

00:42:28.200 It, it was the great reset.

00:42:30.180 It is these corporations who have now put us in a situation to where we're on the edge

00:42:37.700 with Russia and the American people or its representatives haven't really even spoken yet.

00:42:44.240 And it, it's a little concerning that we are just going along for the ride and we're not

00:42:51.440 recognizing that we're in the backseat.

00:42:54.720 I wonder what we could do to make Pornhub pull out of the United States.

00:42:57.940 I would like that policy.

00:42:59.560 But the, exactly.

00:43:01.080 I think this is part of the, some of what we've gone through in the last two years with

00:43:03.720 COVID where this whole disinformation, this censorship, this shutting you down, this

00:43:07.580 deplatforming you became almost normal.

00:43:10.320 Don't worry.

00:43:10.640 It's for the good of us all.

00:43:11.360 It's for health.

00:43:11.900 The doctors are in charge.

00:43:13.020 That switched pretty seamlessly to seeing people, Republican senators or, or, or daytime

00:43:18.620 talk show hosts on The View calling for the investigation and imprisonment of those who

00:43:22.960 say, hold on a second.

00:43:24.360 Why is, why am I fighting Putin right now?

00:43:26.460 I understand what's going on is awful over there, but why is this an American war?

00:43:30.420 And you see all these folks kind of coming out and just saying, we should, we need to do

00:43:33.000 a no fly zone.

00:43:33.920 We need to, and that sounds nice.

00:43:35.380 It sounds nice.

00:43:35.860 It sounds like World War III.

00:43:37.140 It sounds like World War III.

00:43:38.100 It's not a humanitarian action.

00:43:39.640 That's called putting jets in the air with Russian jets at the same time in a way that

00:43:42.960 they're going to fight.

00:43:43.720 And that's how they get their foot in the door to, uh, for, for the war that a lot of

00:43:47.620 folks want.

00:43:48.260 You know, it's really disturbing to see, like you said, Tulsi Gabbard is called a tool for,

00:43:53.640 just for questioning, just for questioning.

00:43:55.740 She's now a tool for the Russian state and should be investigated. 0.91

00:43:59.360 Tucker Carlson should be investigated and, uh, possibly face prison time.

00:44:06.500 Uh, Russell, uh, Russell Brand.

00:44:09.460 They're now coming after him as well.

00:44:12.360 If we don't stop this, uh, destroying any idea of freedom of speech and, you know, toleration

00:44:24.940 of another opinion, we don't make it very long.

00:44:29.100 And that's, that's part of what COVID did.

00:44:30.920 That's what the lockdowns did.

00:44:32.160 It's disinformation.

00:44:33.140 That's such a freaky word.

00:44:34.300 It's just like that, that phrase, you're on the wrong side of history.

00:44:36.840 It dehumanizes your opponents.

00:44:38.560 It makes you on the right side.

00:44:39.700 So, but we have said this, we have many of the things that people who were said, you

00:44:44.100 know, that's disinformation turned out to be right.

00:44:47.180 COVID is over and the masks.

00:44:50.240 Yeah.

00:44:50.380 And, uh, what's his name?

00:44:51.720 Fauci.

00:44:52.680 I, I mean, I think he's in the FBI witness protection program at this point.

00:44:55.980 I haven't seen him at all.

00:44:57.080 And it's hard to keep him away from a camera.

00:44:58.740 It's really hard.

00:45:00.200 Um, so we have this, people know it, but nobody's standing up.

00:45:07.580 Why, why, why is there this disconnect from what people know and standing up?

00:45:15.140 And it seems to only have happened at the schools, really the schools, I think, and I hope

00:45:19.280 that that's the beginning of something that's broader because it's getting these folks who

00:45:22.760 are involved.

00:45:23.400 I was really hopeful that the tea party was going to lead to more local involvement, but

00:45:27.600 it seemed like after some of the, the big, great rallies we had, the prayer rallies that

00:45:31.400 you had that a lot of it kind of faded away.

00:45:33.600 People went back cause there was comfortable, but the left has made things so uncomfortable

00:45:37.080 for the last two years.

00:45:38.680 I'm hoping that folks do get involved and I'm really hopeful of the Supreme court ruling

00:45:43.340 on Roe v.

00:45:44.080 Wade, uh, or on abortion because that is going to put it back politics to a local level. 0.99

00:45:48.900 It will.

00:45:49.480 That's going to make people, it suddenly really matters who your state representative

00:45:53.060 is because that decides whether or not there's baby sacrifice in your state or not.

00:45:56.760 The left and right will be reinvigorated, reinvigorated.

00:46:00.020 And this whole kind of just national news cycle that we live on, people will start to realize

00:46:04.140 it's actually my town meetings that matter.

00:46:06.440 It's my state meetings that matter.

00:46:08.060 That's what drives this country.

00:46:09.240 That's what built this country.

00:46:10.540 But at the same time we have big tech, they're not going to take their, their, their foot off of

00:46:14.020 our throats.

00:46:14.540 Amazon web services shutting down internet servers for Donald Trump, uh, right after

00:46:19.080 the riots.

00:46:19.980 They're, they're going to keep on trying to censor and putting this down.

00:46:22.600 So that's what we're doing with right.

00:46:23.760 Forge.

00:46:24.000 If you guys do with the blaze, this is trying to build that alternative because we can't

00:46:27.560 rely on the corporate media.

00:46:28.700 So tell people about right.

00:46:29.960 Forge.

00:46:30.340 If, if they don't know, because I think this would have been the answer for give, send,

00:46:35.140 go.

00:46:35.400 And I think they were with you for a while and then, and the dropped out and, and yes,

00:46:40.140 they worked together for a few days and they're, they were great folks, but they ended up going

00:46:43.640 at the different direction from ours.

00:46:44.940 And then they were hacked shortly after because those hackers are out there trying to destroy

00:46:48.640 you, whether your Texas right to life, hackers attacking them, the anonymous group of hackers.

00:46:53.940 Uh, what we do is we build internet servers.

00:46:56.000 The, the libertarians have always said in DC, if you don't like it, go build your own.

00:47:00.500 But they didn't, a lot of them didn't actually mean that because they're actually working

00:47:02.960 with big tech.

00:47:03.580 Right.

00:47:04.160 So we went out, Parler went out and they built their own alternative to Twitter.

00:47:07.380 And then the powers that be just decided that they were going to destroy them for completely

00:47:11.720 spurious reasons.

00:47:13.080 The New York times and CNN would just cheer it on.

00:47:15.340 Like it was a victory for free speech over disinformation.

00:47:18.100 And the American dream was a shot in public.

00:47:20.120 The idea that you, if you don't like something, do, do it better.

00:47:23.120 The, so we started an internet server company because suddenly the infrastructure that the websites

00:47:27.160 are built on is become a political politicized war zone.

00:47:30.340 Now we're just trying to make one that is a bill of rights.

00:47:33.580 And for internet infrastructure, it's just American, American infrastructure.

00:47:37.000 I don't care what your politics are.

00:47:38.700 I want you to be free to express them.

00:47:40.980 I don't, what your business is, what people should be able to be free to express themselves

00:47:45.480 as we are in this country.

00:47:46.920 The laws that govern what we say and do should be made by the people's representatives, not 0.72

00:47:52.220 by the terms of a user agreement in Silicon Valley.

00:47:54.920 You know, what you have done would have been championed by the libertarian and by the, uh,

00:48:02.200 the left, even I bet more so than the right 25 years ago.

00:48:07.920 It's been such a shift.

00:48:09.260 It's such a crazy shift, you know, and it's put everybody, you know, if you're, if you're

00:48:15.180 at all awake, put you in a situation where thinking people are finding themselves in the

00:48:21.080 room and allies with people that the rest of the world said you, you should hate.

00:48:25.720 Yeah.

00:48:26.380 You know, it's weird.

00:48:27.600 Glenn Greenwald and Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump and Glenn Beck walk into a room

00:48:31.740 together.

00:48:32.060 It's like, I wouldn't have believed that five years ago, but now it's all happening.

00:48:35.740 It is crazy.

00:48:36.640 It is really crazy.
