Glenn Beck delivers an impromptu speech to Congress about Ukraine and calls for a no-fly zone over Ukraine. Also, Russia is defaulting and making deals with Saudi Arabia. Interest rates are being raised, and we go into the new digital dollar.
00:00:00.000Hey, we pretty much stayed focused on Ukraine and what it means to us, what it means to you.
00:00:05.980We started with President Zelensky's speech, which was very well written for Americans.
00:00:12.680I have a dream! Twice, twice in the speech. So what does that mean? What is Congress and
00:00:20.620the administration going to do with all of this? He specifically asked for a new global organization
00:00:27.060and he said all companies need to unite against Russia. Well, that's great and everything,
00:00:33.940except Russia is defaulting today on something. And they're also making deals with Saudi Arabia.
00:00:41.320And as we'll tell you in today's podcast, India, that will directly affect you. Oh, and one other
00:00:48.680thing, interest rates are being raised most likely today. And we go into the new digital dollar.
00:00:57.060What does that mean? And why? Why would that ever happen? All on today's podcast.
00:01:11.120You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:15.280Here is the president of the Ukraine, his virtual address to Congress.
00:01:25.980Okay, Nancy, come on. She's just torture.
00:01:40.940Thank you. Thank you very much. Madam Speaker, members of the Congress, ladies and gentlemen,
00:01:49.460Americans, friends, I'm proud to greet you from Ukraine, from our capital, city of Kiev,
00:01:57.760a city that is under missile and airstrike from Russian troops every day. But it doesn't give up.
00:02:08.620And we have not even thought about it for a second. Just like many other cities and communities in our
00:02:17.820beautiful 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,
00:02:30.560great and freedom loving people, who for eight years have been resisting the Russian aggression.
00:02:39.380Those who give their best sons and daughters to stop this full-scale Russian invasion.
00:02:50.340Right now, the destiny of our country is being decided. The destiny of our people, whether Ukrainians will be free,
00:03:02.720whether they will be able to preserve their democracy. Russia has attacked not just us, not just our land,
00:03:10.860not just our cities. It went on a brutal offensive against our values, basic human values.
00:03:19.080It threw tanks and planes against our freedom, against our right to live freely in our own country,
00:03:27.660choosing our own future, against our desire for happiness, against our national dreams,
00:03:37.540just like the same dreams you have, you, Americans, just like anyone else in the United States.
00:03:47.580I remember your national memorial in Rushmore, the faces of your prominent presidents,
00:03:55.260those who lead the foundation of the United States, of America, as it is today. Democracy, independence,
00:04:03.680freedom and care for everyone, for every person, for everyone who works diligently, who lives honestly,
00:04:12.580who respects the law. We, in Ukraine, want the same for our people, all that is normal part of your own life.
00:04:24.260Ladies and gentlemen, friends, Americans, in your great history, you have pages that would allow you to understand Ukrainians.
00:04:35.860Understand us now, when you need it right now, when we need you right now.
00:04:42.440Remember Pearl Harbor, terrible morning of December 7, 1941, when your sky was black from the planes attacking you.
00:04:53.220Just remember it. Remember September the 11th, a terrible day in 2001, when evil tried to turn your cities,
00:05:04.700independent territories, when innocent people were attacked, attacked from air, yes, just like nobody else expected it.
00:05:21.480You could not stop it. Our country experience the same every day.
00:05:28.240Right now, at this moment, every night, for three weeks now, various Ukrainian cities,
00:05:36.800Otessa and Kharch, Chernyhev and Sumerh, Jitomir and Lviv, Mariupol and Dnipro,
00:05:41.120Russia has turned the Ukrainian sky into a source of death for thousands of people.
00:05:49.800Russian troops have already fired nearly 1,000 missiles at Ukraine, countless bombs.
00:05:58.080They use drones to kill us with precision.
00:06:02.380This is a terror that Europe has not seen, has not seen for 80 years.
00:06:07.040And we are asking for a reply, for an answer to this terror from the whole world.
00:06:13.620Is this a lot to ask for, to create a no-fly zone over Ukraine, to save people?
00:06:20.920Is this too much to ask? Humanitary no-fly zone, something that Russia would not be able to terrorize our free cities.
00:06:32.580If this is too much to ask, we offer an alternative.
00:06:36.660You know what kind of defense systems we need, S-300 and other similar systems.
00:06:44.120You know how much depends on the battlefield, on the ability to use aircraft, powerful, strong aviation to protect our people, our freedom, our land.
00:06:56.380We need aircrafts that can help Ukraine, help Europe.
00:07:03.840And you know that they exist and you have them, but they are on Earth, not in the Ukrainian sky.
00:07:25.280I need your decision, your help, which means exactly the same, the same you feel when you hear the words, I have a dream.
00:07:36.340Ladies 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,
00:07:50.680for weapons, for weapons and ammunition, for training, for finances, for leadership in the free world, which helps us to pressure the aggressor economically.
00:08:00.640I am grateful to President Biden for his personal involvement, for his sincere commitment to the defense of Ukraine and democracy all over the world.
00:08:10.600I am grateful to you for the resolution, which recognizes all those who commit crimes against Ukraine, against the Ukrainian people as war criminals.
00:08:20.260However, now, it is true, in the darkest time for our country, for the whole Euro, I call on you to do more.
00:08:29.220For new packages of sanctions are needed, constantly, every week, until the Russian military machine stops.
00:08:37.460Restrictions are needed for everyone on whom this unjust regime is based.
00:08:45.420We'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.
00:09:01.620We've proposed that the Russian military.
00:09:02.620From the United States sanctions are the Prime Minister of the Russian Americans, who remain in the Russian military.
00:09:03.620From the state Duma members, to the last official who has lack of morale to break the state terror.
00:09:08.620All Americans' companies must leave Russia from their market, leave their market immediately because it is flooded with our blood.
00:09:21.620Ladies and gentlemen, members of Congress, please take the lead.
00:09:27.080If you have companies in your districts who finance the Russian military machine-leaving
00:09:33.400business in Russia, you should put pressure.
00:09:35.900I am asking to make sure that the Russians do not receive a single penny that they used
00:21:19.460Well, he told us, as he described, the most heinous piece of legislation he has ever seen that was about to be passed.
00:21:29.140It was a tri-state compact bill between Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee.
00:21:35.160To 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.
00:21:51.940It was an unabashed public-private partnership designed to shift power from the representatives of the people to unelected bureaucrats.
00:22:00.540It was all done under an organization named Region Smart, who, what a shocker, has ties to BlackRock.
00:22:08.260Well, this heinous bill, I am happy to say, you stopped.
00:22:11.660We received an email from our contacts in the Freedom Caucus of Mississippi letting us know, after being flooded with calls, the bill is dead.
00:22:19.900The chairman saw the show with Beck and Representative Hopkins and knew he couldn't possibly present it to the floor without getting absolutely hammered.
00:22:28.060The grassroots also saw the show and flooded the House members with calls and emails.
00:22:31.860I saw many reps posting on Facebook and Twitter that the bill was dead, so their constituents would quit hounding them.
00:22:38.180I also heard the bill in Tennessee is now struggling as more people are becoming aware of it.
00:22:54.820There is one more chance for it to come today, but I don't think they're going to do it.
00:23:00.180The treasurer says she wants the power to enforce it.
00:23:05.440The bill says it should not be in the government's hand to enforce it.
00:23:09.780It 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.
00:23:20.220The real story in Idaho, and it is very, very sad, the real story in Idaho is the big banks got to your representatives.
00:23:34.340I 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.
00:23:54.940The big banks are a real, real problem when it comes to ESG and the Great Reset.
00:24:02.700Let me – can I ask you a related question here?
00:24:06.240The ESG score that you might get, you talk about this often in that in a change of currency, there would be programmable money.
00:24:14.440None of these things are like familiar to any American.
00:24:20.160A programmable money does not necessarily seem familiar typically.
00:24:23.380But 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.
00:25:16.960And 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.
00:25:27.820You know, you're not going to have a lobster dinner on me, okay?
00:26:54.680Depending 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?
00:27:20.400If 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.
00:27:38.000You 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.
00:28:18.860This has to happen, according to the think tanks in all of our financial industry.
00:28:24.760It has to happen because of modern monetary theory, because we're just printing money.
00:28:30.620The second half of that is they must have complete control of money, of labor, and individual spending habits.
00:28:40.820So, 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.
00:29:00.400But January 6th, no, you, you, and you, you can't go because we've seen what you're doing on social media.
00:29:08.620This 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.
00:29:40.400If 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.
00:29:47.320But 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.
00:29:57.440Well, bank heist, a bank heist, not necessarily.
00:30:01.000You then, unless you were doing it for BLM, then you get extra bonus points.
00:30:08.500Then you can get out and you can buy anything you want again.
