00:00:00.200 Today, a fantastic, fantastic podcast.
00:00:04.260 Some really good information with Bill O'Reilly.
00:00:07.180 And then Michael Malice is, I think, one of the funniest times he's been on the program.
00:00:12.420 We also start with, I was going to say some potato news, but that would be wrong.
00:00:19.860 We start with the news on Brian Stelter.
00:00:23.800 And, you know, I have a personal stake in that one.
00:00:27.700 As Stu points out early on in the broadcast podcast.
00:00:32.320 I do my best to goad you into being a bad person at varying levels of success.
00:00:37.240 And then we take on General Hayden's remarks as well as the New York Times, New York Times editorial that says Republicans are the most violent and extreme political force he has ever covered.
00:00:53.840 And as if the hyperbolic claims were not enough, Hayden said the former director of the CIA and the NSA that he agreed with this absurd statement.
00:01:07.060 We point out it is not just absurd, absurd.
00:01:10.700 It is one of the most dangerous statements.
00:01:12.780 And you'll understand by the end of the podcast.
00:01:15.400 And by the way, don't forget tomorrow, wherever you get your podcast and on YouTube, you'll be able to watch my interview with Vivek Rameshwamy.
00:01:25.940 He is fascinating.
00:01:28.160 We touched on some of the things he talked about in today's podcast.
00:01:32.500 But if you care about your money and the dollar, boy, he broke some news on the podcast that I've never heard before.
00:01:40.620 And it's pretty intense.
00:01:42.560 Which brings me to our sponsor for the podcast, Goldline.
00:01:45.360 If you heard what I outlined and then what Vivek Rameshwamy talked about in the podcast on just China alone, this is catastrophe waiting to happen.
00:01:58.760 And no one is talking about it.
00:02:02.500 The world is going to change.
00:02:04.000 And when it does, man, your dollar could be worthless overnight.
00:02:08.000 Would you please, please find out if gold or silver is right for you?
00:02:12.060 It may not be.
00:02:12.820 You may say, that's crazy.
00:02:16.820 I don't learn.
00:02:18.200 It is traditionally the hedge against inflation.
00:02:21.900 It is also traditionally the hedge against insanity because the world always resets to gold when the gods of the copybook headings return.
00:02:31.340 So I want you to call them and tell them you heard about Goldline on my podcast and give them the code NYB.
00:02:37.680 And you're going to get one of the MYB, Mind Your Business Silver Bars.
00:02:41.820 They give to you just for thanking that you were listening to the podcast and went to their website.
00:02:49.420 You can find all the information at goldline.com.
00:02:51.760 You can get the silver bar if you call them 866-GOLDLINE.
00:02:54.600 You can find 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.
00:03:04.480 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:11.960 So what's going on in your world, Glenn?
00:03:15.720 Anything you want to talk about today?
00:03:17.360 I mean, there's obviously something you want to mention.
00:03:22.720 That I want to mention.
00:03:24.140 No, I don't have.
00:03:25.700 I mean, I guess what you could do is take an inventory of the news stories of the day, right?
00:03:30.120 And then start to think about if you had any personal connection to them.
00:03:34.480 Let me think.
00:03:35.360 No, that's going on.
00:03:37.020 Well, no, I don't have any personal connection to any of those stories.
00:03:39.940 Do you?
00:03:41.580 Is there any personal connection you might feel to any of the major news stories of the day?
00:03:47.420 You know, for those people who are listening right now and they may not follow the news and have personal connections to the news,
00:03:54.040 they may be wondering, what are you even talking about?
00:03:58.020 Oh, well.
00:04:01.480 We're talking about a potential story that you might want to discuss today.
00:04:05.820 Yeah.
00:04:06.200 About an individual.
00:04:08.620 Oh, I really want.
00:04:09.440 From CNN.
00:04:10.400 Well, there's two ways to go.
00:04:13.460 And the two ways to go would be one would be very fun, very satisfying.
00:04:21.440 Sure.
00:04:22.180 Funny.
00:04:22.940 Funny.
00:04:23.640 Entertaining.
00:04:25.260 Right?
00:04:25.940 Yeah.
00:04:26.600 And the other one would be Christ-like.
00:04:29.880 You know, the Bible, not always hilarious, I'd notice.
00:04:33.500 No, but usually right.
00:04:37.160 Yeah, almost all the time.
00:04:38.960 All the time.
00:04:39.360 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:40.240 So it's not that big of a struggle.
00:04:44.320 It's just I'm fighting the urge to be very, very funny.
00:04:48.180 Well, maybe it's worth instead of talking about today's news to look back at history, you know?
00:04:54.840 Like, for example, let me look back in the annals of history to about four years ago when I was watching CNN and there was an interview on.
00:05:04.760 All right.
00:05:05.260 And I'm going to be on TV.
00:05:07.220 And the host of the show, the show's name was Reliable Sources, I believe.
00:05:13.160 I'm making this easier.
00:05:13.740 And I believe the interview was supposed to be about one thing.
00:05:19.080 I can't remember at all what that was, coming together or something like that.
00:05:22.460 But then it took a turn about halfway through.
00:05:25.740 Uh-huh.
00:05:26.100 And the interviewer started talking to the interviewee about how much trouble his business was in.
00:05:34.560 Uh-huh.
00:05:35.360 Do we have a clip of it?
00:05:36.720 No, come on. 0.85
00:05:37.620 Oh, really?
00:05:38.100 No, no, no, no, come on.
00:05:40.060 No, well, she's saying she's, because I was trying to describe it, and I can only do that so well.
00:05:44.080 If we have the actual audio.
00:05:45.120 Get behind me, Satan.
00:05:46.360 Get behind me.
00:05:47.120 One's arguing justice.
00:05:48.620 One's arguing mercy.
00:05:50.100 There we go.
00:05:50.320 Or they say they are.
00:05:51.440 That's a familiar voice.
00:05:52.100 But they're not.
00:05:52.920 All they're doing is playing politics, and the American people are tired of it.
00:05:57.760 Who is talking about an actual solution on this?
00:06:00.940 Who's actually done something?
00:06:03.240 Who's actually consistent?
00:06:04.420 You're being Christ-like here.
00:06:04.880 And cared when it was a Democrat in office, and cared when it's a Republican in office.
00:06:10.140 You know, those people exist around the country, and they're watching you two, the media and
00:06:16.320 Donald Trump, playing this little game back and forth, and they're sick of it.
00:06:20.480 They don't want to hear about it from either side.
00:06:24.180 I want the critique, because I invited you on.
00:06:25.780 I'm self-aware enough to know that we need to talk about this, because I know it's a problem.
00:06:30.280 The mainstream media is having a very hard time.
00:06:32.840 The mainstream media is having a very hard time reaching Trump's base.
00:06:37.820 That's a fact.
00:06:38.660 We see that in all the polls.
00:06:39.620 Yeah, well, then here's the deal.
00:06:41.780 Brian, you all have my phone number.
00:06:44.200 I've reached out to all of you in the past and said, let's have a conversation not on the air.
00:06:49.500 You really want to understand?
00:06:51.140 You want to hear the other side?
00:06:52.400 Why can't our viewers, why can't you tell our viewers right now?
00:06:55.520 Because it's all about ratings.
00:06:57.380 Because this is all about ratings.
00:06:59.180 Is this bringing it back at all?
00:07:00.040 This isn't about ratings.
00:07:01.080 This is about saving our country, bringing us together.
00:07:05.340 See, that's nice.
00:07:05.760 Stop dividing us.
00:07:08.040 I mean, you, I can't.
00:07:09.480 So, to be clear, you think that I'm dividing the country.
00:07:12.100 You think I'm dividing the country for ratings by booking you?
00:07:16.360 Brian, stop driving.
00:07:18.040 Look at what, look what you're doing.
00:07:20.420 When did this become about you?
00:07:22.260 This is about the media and the administration.
00:07:26.100 That's what you guys want to make it into.
00:07:27.740 If it was about me, I would do like a 10 minute talk about it the way you used to.
00:07:31.400 Listening to me, Brian.
00:07:34.360 If it was about me, I'd get out of Blackboard the way you used to.
00:07:36.820 Oh, okay, see, yes, he's, is he being, is that Chris?
00:07:40.500 Well, they maybe should.
00:07:40.960 Yeah, I mean, point is, what you mean is making it about me?
00:07:44.940 I don't see how I've made it about me.
00:07:46.500 I want to know how.
00:07:46.960 It's not about, you just, never mind.
00:07:51.520 Look, Brian, if you want to have a conversation, the media really wants to know, great, we can
00:07:57.080 have that conversation, but every time someone, every time I've approached, everybody always
00:08:02.040 says yes, but as soon as it gets tough or uncomfortable, nobody's interested.
00:08:06.840 Nobody's interested in looking at themselves and saying, what did I do?
00:08:11.720 I know what I've done.
00:08:13.440 I know what I've done.
00:08:15.020 I've tried to make amends and I'm trying to.
00:08:18.000 And we've talked about that before.
00:08:19.360 I completely agree with you.
00:08:20.940 And we all do need to be more self-reflective.
00:08:23.460 I do have to ask you, there's this new headline on the Daily Beast saying that your company's
00:08:26.780 in trouble.
00:08:27.500 Oh.
00:08:27.760 That you were trying to find a buyer.
00:08:29.220 To see, Glenn.
00:08:29.500 Is this related to the point about people not talking to each other, that if you want
00:08:34.620 to create that media company, there's not interest?
00:08:36.560 What's going on with that?
00:08:39.880 Wow.
00:08:41.720 Brian, thanks a lot. 0.97
00:08:44.260 I think that's the most ridiculous question I've ever heard.
00:08:50.320 I'm sitting here ready to talk to you about the detaining of children and parents and trying 0.99
00:08:56.640 to break families apart.
00:08:59.140 Something that has been happening with Janet Reno.
00:09:02.860 That's why it went to the Supreme Court in the first place.
00:09:05.420 With Janet Reno.
00:09:06.800 It's been happening.
00:09:08.020 We want to stop it and you want to play those games.
00:09:11.080 Have a nice day.
00:09:12.860 What game did I just play?
00:09:14.600 Oh, God.
00:09:15.700 Okay.
00:09:16.160 See, Glenn?
00:09:17.040 Now, yeah, of course, as you pointed out, there's two ways to go with it.
00:09:20.120 With a news story.
00:09:21.240 And one of them is being incredibly Christ-like, as you were trying to be in that interview
00:09:26.080 there.
00:09:26.460 But Brian Stelter was interviewing you about how your company was failing.
00:09:30.520 It's weird because we're sitting here at work for that company right now.
00:09:37.800 And I don't know what Brian's doing, but not the same thing.
00:09:42.500 Is there anything that you would want to bring up on that?
00:09:44.500 Because as you pointed out, there's two ways to go with every news story.
00:09:50.120 Did that help bring you back to the moment a little bit, watching that clip once again
00:09:55.680 and watching all the quizzical faces of Brian Stelter?
00:09:59.920 I don't understand.
00:10:01.000 Stop it.
00:10:01.760 Well, I think you knew I was going to antagonize you to see if you would break on Brian Stelter,
00:10:06.820 but you didn't know that the video of that interview was coming.
00:10:10.560 And just to watch you kind of relive those moments, the excited, smug nature of-
00:10:18.120 Do not gloat when your enemy falls, when he stumbles.
00:10:21.860 You do not let your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see it and disapprove and turn his
00:10:28.700 wrath away from him.
00:10:30.100 Look, I-
00:10:31.600 Just saying.
00:10:32.320 I would agree.
00:10:33.140 That's my thought of the day.
00:10:34.780 That's my thought of the day.
00:10:36.380 By the way, we should mention Brian Stelter got fired.
00:10:39.180 We didn't mention that yet, but he's got let go.
00:10:42.120 Show canceled.
00:10:42.780 30-year show.
00:10:43.440 Could not survive.
00:10:44.460 Brian Stelter.
00:10:46.260 Wish him well.
00:10:47.380 I will say this.
00:10:48.600 You know, the lesson here is not to do that in 2018.
00:10:54.460 And some of the other things Brian has done through the last few years.
00:10:57.680 And I pointed this out to people yesterday who only know Brian Stelter from this recent
00:11:04.920 turn.
00:11:06.680 You know, this turn in the Trump era where he became a left-wing media critic.
00:11:14.200 Let's not get closer to the point.
00:11:17.080 But like, what I was saying was, I remember him from when we first started on cable news.
00:11:22.740 He reviewed your very first show.
00:11:24.340 It wasn't, I wouldn't say positive review, but it wasn't the worst review we've ever had.
00:11:29.680 No, it was fair.
00:11:29.980 It was fair.
00:11:30.900 And he's written some of the most fair pieces about you at times.
00:11:36.440 A long time ago.
00:11:37.560 A long time ago.
00:11:38.860 And I honestly think he's a really good example of what the Trump era has done to a lot of
00:11:44.940 people in the media.
00:11:45.940 It's broken them.
00:11:46.700 Their anger against Donald Trump has changed a lot of people who, yes, they may have been
00:11:55.440 liberal.
00:11:56.180 Yeah, they may have been Democrats.
00:11:57.580 They may have been left-leaning.
00:11:59.100 But it's changed them into completely irrational actors.
00:12:02.760 I don't think that's the only thing.
00:12:04.760 I really don't think that's the only thing that has happened.
00:12:08.680 It is also a result of your world being so small.
00:12:16.640 They're in New York City and New York City comes to New York City.
00:12:20.900 I mean, the world comes to New York City.
00:12:22.760 Sure.
00:12:22.960 And, you know, they're working at, you know, these places where you have global reach.
00:12:27.880 And so you think that you are the globe and you're very informed and you know everything
00:12:34.300 because, look, I'm with the best people and the best people from all over the world.
00:12:39.180 And it's so cosmopolitan here.
00:12:42.580 It's not.
00:12:43.840 Your friends are all exactly the same.
00:12:46.760 I agree with that.
00:12:47.520 That's not real life.
00:12:48.480 I definitely agree with that analysis.
00:12:50.120 Yeah, I know.
00:12:50.360 But that analysis existed long before 2016.
00:12:53.780 No, I know.
00:12:54.360 But the hatred.
00:12:56.020 The hatred, I know.
00:12:56.680 But the hatred of Donald Trump and the political agenda.
00:13:03.880 Not everything was political.
00:13:05.820 See, right now, you cannot talk about anything without it being political.
00:13:11.760 Sports, political.
00:13:14.120 You know, the Big Pebble Beach Car Show is watching on CNBC this morning.
00:13:17.580 Big Pebble Beach Car Show.
00:13:18.800 That's political as well because they're going to be talking about the new cars,
00:13:23.720 the all-electric cars, et cetera, et cetera.
00:13:25.680 Why are we – why is everyone coming out with an electric car?
00:13:29.400 Political.
00:13:30.720 Politics.
00:13:31.900 I mean, everything now is politics.
00:13:35.500 Who you are, how you see yourself is now fought out in the political space.
00:13:44.720 That's what's changed.
00:13:46.200 And the left has gone insane.
00:13:51.240 And people who used to be fairly reasonable and used to agree with the Bill of Rights,
00:13:59.860 they have been so skewed now that they – you know, we got to do things.
00:14:04.920 I'm for the Bill of Rights, but there's things we got to do.
00:14:07.520 No, no.
00:14:08.560 No, there's not.
00:14:09.540 No, there's not.
00:14:10.300 On either side.
00:14:11.260 No, there is not.
00:14:12.380 You don't silence speech.
00:14:16.140 And so they get this – they just get this snowball rolling in their own little clique
00:14:23.280 where everybody's thinking alike and you pour hate like gasoline onto that fire and you're done.
00:14:31.840 You're done.
00:14:32.520 And you're choosing to not go that direction. 1.00
00:14:35.340 Shut up. 1.00
00:14:35.940 You're choosing to be Gandhi. 1.00
00:14:36.440 Oh, man, there's a skin wig right at your fingertips. 0.99
00:14:40.540 Our producers went out and they got skin wigs and they were like, this is going to be funny. 0.99
00:14:45.060 And, oh, it would be so funny.
00:14:49.560 It would be so funny.
00:14:50.520 It would be so easy to do.
00:14:51.880 It's so good.
00:14:52.700 But you're choosing to do the right thing.
00:14:56.920 And can we give Glenn some – 0.99
00:14:57.780 No, shut up. 1.00
00:14:58.700 Come on. 1.00
00:14:59.340 There we go. 1.00
00:15:00.360 Shut up. 1.00
00:15:00.620 Glenn, he is so well behaved. 1.00
00:15:03.380 You know you agree with me. 1.00
00:15:06.300 Shut up. 1.00
00:15:07.060 Oh, wow. 1.00
00:15:07.280 The whole crowd. 1.00
00:15:08.040 No, shut up. 1.00
00:15:08.740 Can you hear it? 1.00
00:15:09.240 They're cheering for you.
00:15:10.420 We talked about it on the air before.
00:15:12.400 You agree with me.
00:15:14.340 Look, of course, Glenn, I am easily restrained in a moment like this.
00:15:18.760 Just turn his microphone off.
00:15:20.340 I don't need this.
00:15:21.580 This isn't one of those moments that I would have trouble.
00:15:24.360 This is a moment that I can see you're struggling.
00:15:26.680 And that's why I wanted to investigate how you were feeling.
00:15:29.480 Because as a friend, I am concerned with what you're going through.
00:15:34.900 Something that I read that I think is so, really so spot on from the American thinker.
00:15:40.480 Exciting times.
00:15:42.040 A dangerous but exhilarating moment in history to be alive.
00:15:45.540 The ground beneath us quakes and everything once held certain seems turned to mush.
00:15:50.220 Whatever we grasp for balance proves unsteady, too.
00:15:53.660 The world is crashing down, it seems, and no countervailing force exists to keep everything in place.
00:15:59.780 When we accept this reality, when we look around and say, hey, that was, what was, will never be again.
00:16:09.180 When the troubles around us become seemingly unbearable, but we say, hey, that's just not reality today, our load becomes a little lighter to bear.
00:16:23.020 We're not here to fight for yesterday.
00:16:26.660 Yesterday, we are here to fight for tomorrow.
00:16:30.980 Yesterday can only give us guidance.
00:16:34.700 That is fantastic.
00:16:36.240 Tomorrow gives us purpose.
00:16:41.940 Yet, just because we fight for tomorrow doesn't mean we aren't also fighting for today.
00:16:46.580 When you learn to punch, you're taught to aim beyond your target.
00:16:49.820 You punch through what you mean to hit to maximize the force and minimize the pain to yourself.
00:16:55.500 In the same way, we aim for the future in order to seize today.
00:16:59.600 We picture together what types of future we want.
00:17:02.940 We strive for that future with ferocity and perseverance.
00:17:07.280 And one day we look around and realize that we've just managed to build a remarkable world right here in the present.
00:17:14.600 Nothing endures in this earthly existence but that cycle.
00:17:18.960 It is what we do when challenges arise that matters.
00:17:23.840 Those acts, fleeting though they may be, are shared legacy toward one another.
00:17:30.220 So let's look at the international communist great reset or build back better dystopias as inevitable, if you want.
00:17:39.620 But do so knowing that you're watching strikes being thrown into the catcher's mitt without ever swinging.
00:17:45.600 Your mind and soul provide a powerful bat.
00:17:49.980 Our enemies are throwing heat right down the center of the plate.
00:17:52.860 And there has never been a better time to swing for the fences.
00:17:57.500 The globalist programs for mass control of humanity have become glaringly obvious.
00:18:02.300 They don't even hide their intentions anymore behind veiled language, secret club meetings, or slanderous aspersions against their critics.
00:18:12.180 They just say it out loud in the open.
00:18:14.080 Yep, we want to reduce the human population, control all energy used for commerce, regulate food production, censor all information,
00:18:21.100 antithetical to our goals, cynically divide humanity against itself by promoting meaningless wars, racial hostilities, and ludicrous social conflicts,
00:18:31.320 and force the vast majority of remaining humans into the future to survive as indentured servants who will own nothing and subsist, I guess, on a diet of bugs.
00:18:43.820 That is an ugly, depressing, awful future to advertise.
00:18:49.200 Yet, it is their arrogant plan, their arrogant hubris, absolute hubris, and we should love it because we couldn't ask for a better drug to cloud the judgment of our enemies. 0.97
00:19:04.620 They're hooked.
00:19:05.800 They can't see clearly.
00:19:08.080 Do we?
00:19:08.780 It is a really, really good op-ed.
00:19:10.880 Again, it's in American Thinker.
00:19:13.820 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:19:25.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program, Mr. Michael Malice.
00:19:29.980 This is the only show that has a swing this dramatic.
00:19:35.580 Every week.
00:19:36.060 From Bill O'Reilly to the anarchist Michael Malice.
00:19:40.720 And I'm standing somewhere in between going, I got to get these two together.
00:19:45.660 This would be a scream. 0.50
00:19:47.320 Hey, Michael, how are you?
00:19:48.940 Do you really want to set me up for punchlines against Mr. O'Reilly?
00:19:52.900 No, I don't.
00:19:54.160 We don't.
00:19:54.440 I'm friends with both of you.
00:19:55.900 Play nice.
00:19:57.040 Well, that wouldn't last long if we were in a room together.
00:20:00.060 I know.
00:20:01.120 Have you ever been in a room with him? 0.98
00:20:02.320 He'd pound you to death.
00:20:04.180 Oh, is that really what you think is going to happen? 0.96
00:20:07.240 Can we not?
00:20:08.840 Please.
00:20:09.940 Be nice.
00:20:11.240 Play nice.
00:20:11.680 You said, let's get them in a room together. 1.00
00:20:13.420 I said, okay.
00:20:14.040 Then you're like, wait a minute.
00:20:14.680 This is a bad idea.
00:20:16.180 No, I want people to imagine it.
00:20:18.900 I don't need to dwell on it with you.
00:20:21.800 It would be something like Jill and Joe.
00:20:26.080 I'd be Joe.
00:20:26.740 Jill and Joe.
00:20:28.240 Okay.
00:20:28.820 All right.
00:20:30.200 Enough.
00:20:30.900 How are you, sir?
00:20:32.280 I am.
00:20:33.040 You know why I'm so fantastic this morning?
00:20:35.680 Why? 0.98
00:20:35.880 Because this has been a very bad week for the pig people. 0.97
00:20:39.300 First, Brian Stelter is fired from CNN. 0.97
00:20:43.180 Liz Cheney goes back on her broom to Wyoming.
00:20:46.740 Okay.
00:20:47.360 If Officer Harris breaks one of her hooves, it's going to be a trifecta. 1.00
00:20:51.540 So here's the, you know, we talked about the Brian Stelter thing this morning.
00:20:56.740 And Stu did everything he could just to turn the knife in me to, because I'm trying to
00:21:02.040 not kick someone when they're down.
00:21:05.080 And I, I, I, it would be so easy to just dance on that grave.
00:21:13.180 Really, for me personally, very easy to do.
00:21:16.740 And it's not the right thing to do.
00:21:18.280 It's going to be really hard for that potato to get back up.
00:21:20.940 You know, it's like when a turtle's on his back.
00:21:22.480 Okay.
00:21:23.040 All right.
00:21:23.920 Okay.
00:21:24.360 Uh, can I talk to you about the Liz Cheney thing?
00:21:28.000 Please.
00:21:28.580 Yeah.
00:21:29.680 Okay.
00:21:30.500 All right.
00:21:31.960 Um, your thoughts on the delusions of grandeur from Liz Cheney.
00:21:39.160 Oh, I, I think you're a little wrong in, in this sense, if you're talking about her running
00:21:42.600 for president, because what she's going to do, and Glenn, you've been in this business
00:21:46.840 even longer than I have, uh, and you understand how it works.
00:21:49.620 What happens is you run for president with no intention of becoming president.
00:21:53.360 You run for president so that when you go on CNN or MSNBC, now the chyron, the little 0.99
00:21:58.020 title on your screen will say, former Liz Cheney, former presidential candidate.
00:22:01.680 And now she can get a huge book deal about what a hero she is.
00:22:05.080 She can be on TV in perpetuity, uh, and she can hustle money from gullible donors, uh, 1.00
00:22:11.180 to basically fund a campaign where she goes around the country running her mouth. 1.00
00:22:15.340 So it's a very smart move for her.
00:22:17.140 I think a lot of Republican voters think, ha ha ha, she's going to lose. 0.92
00:22:20.280 She knows she's going to lose, but at the same time, she's going to get enormously wealthy,
00:22:24.160 increase her stature, and she'll get to replace, you know, Bill Kristol or, uh, Jennifer Rubin 0.97
00:22:29.520 when they, you know, go back to their nursing home.
00:22:32.380 So what you're, so what you're saying to me, if I may paraphrase, strike me down and
00:22:39.500 I will become even more powerful.
00:22:42.300 I mean, but we've seen this over and over.
00:22:45.140 I mean, Bill, Bill Weld, who was, you know, couldn't even become the ambassador to Mexico.
00:22:49.220 He had to resign being governor of Massachusetts.
00:22:51.940 He was on MSNBC or CNN in, uh, 2018 or 19 advocating for president Trump to get the death
00:22:58.700 penalty.
00:22:59.060 And no one even batted an eye because he was saying, you know, the president Trump committed
00:23:03.500 treason, the punishment for treason is death. 0.95
00:23:05.240 It's, it's insane.
00:23:06.680 The levels to which, uh, these failures are allowed to be given, uh, platforms.
00:23:12.680 And so that doesn't take that.
00:23:15.640 That's not a surprise to anybody.
00:23:17.860 I mean, honestly, I think she could take Brian Stelter's job, um, at CNN.
00:23:23.120 Um, and it would not surprise me.
00:23:26.060 Of course, the guy who, you know, stabbed, uh, Salman Rushdie could get the job and that
00:23:31.520 wouldn't surprise me.
00:23:32.540 So, um, but, but, but that's what they always do.
00:23:35.460 And I don't think the press has any credibility anymore.
00:23:39.300 And I really wonder its impact.
00:23:42.840 Well, I think there is an enormous amount of impact.
00:23:45.700 Well, first of all, she, she, she, I mean, the Salman Rushdie job isn't as good as Liz
00:23:49.860 Cheney at killing people.
00:23:51.120 So she really has that, um, over him. 0.97
00:23:53.520 And in all seriousness, one of the reasons I think this woman is uniquely despicable is 1.00
00:23:58.840 as of 2018, she was still telling John McCain how good torture is and how lying about that.
00:24:05.780 So the CIA's torture program gave us useful information.
00:24:09.200 So if you're sitting and advocating torture and to John McCain, you're at a level of depravity
00:24:14.380 that's far and above, uh, pretty much anyone else in, in, in politics.
00:24:18.420 Um, and I think it's going to be hilarious though, if she runs and resident independent 1.00
00:24:25.000 because Andrew Yang, that snake is doing everything he can to court her, to join his forward party.
00:24:30.300 If you look at his Twitter, if she runs as a third party and she would draw votes exclusively
00:24:35.380 from anti-Republican people, which would otherwise go to Biden or the democratic nominee, that press
00:24:41.160 will turn on her so fast or her heads will spin and she'll have to go back home to her husband, 1.00
00:24:46.400 hermit, the frog. Um, we're talking to Michael Malice. 0.89
00:24:53.320 Wait, that's interesting, Michael. You think all of the votes would come from democratic votes? I
00:24:58.560 mean, the, the idea I think of the candidacy, right, would be to pull moderate Republicans
00:25:03.640 who don't like Donald Trump over to vote for her as an independent. You think they'd all come from 0.96
00:25:08.320 the left?
00:25:09.180 No, they'd all, if she was not there and the choice is Biden or whoever the nominee is versus Trump,
00:25:14.400 all those votes in a binary system are going to go toward the democratic candidate. They're not
00:25:19.340 going to, they don't like Biden or the candidate just hate Trump. That's why they're voting for
00:25:22.620 Biden.
00:25:23.040 And I, and I really think Stu that the people that I've talked to, they may, they're either for Trump
00:25:28.860 or they're for Ron DeSantis, but they will always say the same thing to me. Always. I really hope
00:25:36.880 that DeSantis is the guy, but I am fully behind Trump if he's the candidate. You know what I mean?
00:25:43.700 So I don't think it's like, ah, if I want DeSantis, ah, I'll vote for Liz Cheney.
00:25:50.260 Right.
00:25:51.040 You know, it's just, that's, I just think that's, that's not going to happen. I'd love to get your
00:25:55.200 opinion on this. Um, the editor and, uh, national editor and columnist for the financial times,
00:26:01.520 um, kind of echoed the words of our former CIA director, Michael Hayden, who said the Republicans
00:26:08.560 are the most dangerous political force in history. Uh, Lou said, I've covered extremism and violent
00:26:16.880 ideologies around the world over my career. Hey, I've never come across a political force,
00:26:22.020 more nihilistic, dangerous, contemptible than today's Republican. Nothing even close.
00:26:31.520 Yeah. I wish the Republican party was as one 10th as awesome as they're trying to make them out to
00:26:37.020 be. They can't, they couldn't even abolish NPR. Um, every, I'm going to get serious for a second
00:26:43.820 to your listeners. Every single agency that the Republicans shake their fists about like the CIA
00:26:49.700 this week have been funded and supported by Republican, uh, Congress people for decades without
00:26:55.980 batting an eye. So this claim that they're going to burn anything down is completely fallacious.
00:27:02.200 Uh, they fund things year after year, uh, as Stu and I discussed when he was on my show a couple
00:27:06.660 years back, when you had Trump in the white house and a Republican Congress, they didn't even try
00:27:10.700 to cut the budget. Well, I will tell you, this is completely nonsensical. This is why I really think
00:27:15.440 that the Republicans have one more shot. Um, and they're not going to do it with the people who are
00:27:21.720 in, it's got to be new blood that is in there. Um, but they, the Mitch McConnell's of the world still
00:27:28.520 think it's 1975. They still think they're playing the same game and nothing has changed because they
00:27:33.620 haven't changed. Um, however, Republicans have changed and Republicans voters who I think the
00:27:41.960 party, uh, the upper echelons despise their own voters. Um, but they, if, if Congress gets in
00:27:50.340 and does not, uh, uh, defund the IRS or the, um, the, uh, department of, uh, education, the CIA,
00:28:02.280 and I'm not saying completely defund it. So we don't have that agency. I know you would. I I'm
00:28:08.120 saying defund it to the part to where it really cripples them until they start doing transparent
00:28:16.020 reforms. And when I say on, on the, um, I'm only talking about the department of justice. I'm not
00:28:24.060 talking necessarily about the CIA and I'm not talking about the department of ed. I'm fine. Get rid of
00:28:30.380 them. I'm fine with that. Yeah. I think there's a lot to what you're saying. First of all, it's kind
00:28:34.920 of ironic because new blood is Liz Cheney's favorite breakfast. Um, but I, I do think we're
00:28:42.100 at a point with the Republican base and they have so much. Remember in 2012, Paul Ryan was regarded as
00:28:49.620 the right wing of the party. That's why Mitt Romney brought him onto the ticket. I think the base has
00:28:53.880 gotten so enraged and social media helps them with this at the frauds that the Republican
00:28:59.980 politicians are that if they don't start showing receipts, things are going to keep getting
00:29:04.140 uglier and uglier, uh, in this country. And the Republicans will be to blame for it in part.
00:29:08.500 I, uh, I just stood in front of a bunch of Republicans just this week and I said, you guys
00:29:14.180 have one more election, one more. If you don't produce results, if you get the house or the Senate
00:29:23.080 in January, people that vote for you guys will be done, we'll be done. And, uh, Donald Trump would
00:29:33.040 be exactly the kind of guy to start a new party.
00:29:36.860 Or it wouldn't even be starting a new party. It would be just who knows what would happen.
00:29:40.740 I don't mean in terms of violence, just in terms of like, when you have a huge percentage of
00:29:44.760 population, just absolutely disgusted with politics, you know, things start breaking apart
00:29:49.340 in terms of authority, in terms of systems working, uh, in terms of civil disobedience,
00:29:54.520 you know, things get messy. We're already almost there. Uh, thank you so much, Michael. I appreciate
00:30:00.780 it. Oh, it's a pleasure, folks. Have a good weekend. Bye-bye. Michael Malice.
00:30:06.700 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:30:12.980 All right. So the U S dollar has dominated the global financial system for a long time,
00:30:18.140 and it is truly one of the main reasons we are so wealthy. Okay. Because our dollar
00:30:28.240 after world war two, let me just explain this to you quickly. After world war two, um, nobody
00:30:33.980 had any gold except the United States. We had almost all the gold from all around the world
00:30:38.540 because the entire Western world was fighting against the Nazis and the Japanese, and they 0.84
00:30:47.280 needed ships and planes and bullets and guns and everything else. And we were one of the only
00:30:53.660 industrial powers that hadn't been bombed. So we had everything plus we had cheap energy and we had
00:31:01.800 educated workers. We could transform our, our plants to build anything. We in three years were building
00:31:10.640 more planes, better quality than the Germans were producing. And they had had, you know, 20 years 0.98
00:31:17.760 of building up these plants and getting it down. So we were a force to be reckoned or reckoned with.
00:31:24.240 And everybody had to buy the stuff from us because it was really their only choice. Um, and they paid in gold.
00:31:32.400 So that's one of the reasons why we were so, uh, successful when we got off the gold standard,
00:31:40.720 the world thought, okay, uh, they're going to destroy their dollar and they're doing what's right
00:31:47.120 for America and not right for the rest of the world, because we promised them a dollar would equal a dollar 0.90
00:31:53.600 of gold. Then we changed. When we got rid of gold, we said, it's going to be the petrodollar.
00:31:59.040 And it's a deal we made with Saudi Arabia that oil could only be purchased in us dollars. Okay.
00:32:06.400 So everybody had to hold those dollars because if you wanted oil, it could only be purchased in us
00:32:13.000 dollars. So they kept all of our money into the banks, all the sovereigns kept, you know, gold fat
00:32:21.820 chance and dollars in their banks. And that's how the world works. Once the dollar is over,
00:32:29.040 rocky, uh, can be replaced. Believe me, it will be. So the international system is maintained
00:32:37.780 by several dollar dominated organizations like the IMF, the world bank, the world trade organization.
00:32:44.860 I want to point out that all of the board are on board or all of the above are on board with the Davos,
00:32:52.060 uh, and the great reset, um, and countries like Russia and China and Saudi Arabia know this.
00:32:59.800 So when we went into Ukraine, there was one action by the West that changed and accelerated
00:33:08.240 absolutely everything, everything. It was the dollar dominated system. It took hundreds of
00:33:16.980 billions of dollars held by the Russians and made it go poof. We ghosted hundreds of billions of 0.96
00:33:27.060 dollars. Now imagine if Saudi Arabia or China or anybody did that to us, if we were holding all
00:33:34.460 of their money, and I'm going to show you how it's going to happen with China soon because of people like 0.99
00:33:40.380 BlackRock and what they're doing with investments in China. But imagine billions of dollars, hundreds of
00:33:47.660 billions of dollars just disappear overnight because China says, we no longer agree with you.
00:33:54.120 But imagine if it wasn't in the stock market, it was actually dollars that were held
00:33:59.320 instead of gold. And the promise was it will always be worth the price of gold.
00:34:09.940 So China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, remember, we don't have a gold backed dollar. We now have
00:34:17.000 a petrodollar, Saudi Arabia, part of it. They are like, you know what? I just don't. I think we should get out of
00:34:23.200 the dollar business. Well, that's easy to say harder to do. Okay. First, what they had to do was start to
00:34:31.660 decouple from the entire thing. And the axis powers already had this in works. Iran announced that
00:34:39.020 they're now officially ditching the dollar in trade. And their their growing ally now is Russia. 0.71
00:34:45.420 They also announced similar trade plans with China, India and Turkey, Iran, Russia and Turkey.
00:34:53.560 So, you know, that is that has never happened before. And that is literally what the Bible
00:35:03.000 in end time revelation refers to is Gog and Meg and Magog.
00:35:09.160 The two, the, the, the, the coalition, if you will, that is the coalition of the Antichrist 0.95
00:35:18.440 Gog and Magog, that is Iran, Russia and modern day Turkey. They met last month and they all but 0.98
00:35:26.360 admitted a new anti-American alliance that they call quote, the axis of good. I would say it's the 0.62
00:35:33.600 axis of evil. But remember in a time where all good is made to be bad and all bad is made to be good.
00:35:40.880 They're calling themselves the axis of good. As the Western G nations met in June, another economic
00:35:47.820 and military pack was meeting nearly simultaneously. It was the BRICS summit that nobody strangely was
00:35:55.160 really covering or paying attention to. BRICS is composed of BRIC, Brazil, Russia, India, China and
00:36:04.340 South Africa. It's just five countries, but the potential is massive. Each country has participation
00:36:11.760 in their own individual trade blocks. For instance, Brazil is part of the South American free trade area,
00:36:18.660 which has 11 members. Russia is part of the European economic union, the trade area with eight
00:36:26.740 members. India, South Asian association for regional cooperation, eight members. China has their own
00:36:32.540 partnership with 15 members. South Africa has a trade agreement with 34 member states. Now I point this
00:36:41.080 out because this axis is a juggernaut. It could become a juggernaut and hostile to the U S dollar really
00:36:52.440 fast. So at the beginning of the BRICS summit, President Z was there and he declared that the West was
00:37:02.660 weaponizing the world's, quote, weaponizing the world's economy. We were everything we do. If you don't agree
00:37:11.320 with what the West is saying, particularly America, we'll cut you off. Well, that's not really a stable
00:37:20.660 system. So they got together in the BRICS at the BRICS summit. They laid out 75 points. And here's what
00:37:29.340 President Z was saying. He urged people in the West to read it. Now, why would he do that?
00:37:39.340 Because he wants you to know exactly what's coming for the economic axis of evil or good to replace the
00:37:48.360 dollar international system. They must first find a way to operate outside of the IMF, the World Bank and
00:37:54.640 the World Trade Organization. And the dollar is the last one. The IMF, the International Monetary Fund
00:38:00.380 and the World Bank. These are the ones that, you know, kind of settle debts and work together and
00:38:06.960 decide who's going to, you know, get some bailouts, who's not. The WTO is what is the Western trade
00:38:13.600 agreement. And then a dollar is the one that everybody uses. Points 37 and 38 are about, quote,
00:38:22.740 enhancing cooperation on supply chains between BRICS countries and their partners. And it goes into
00:38:29.280 specifics. But it's clear what this is about. They're going to replace the World Trade Organization.
00:38:37.700 Point 39 talks about a, quote, new development bank that has just been opened in Shanghai.
00:38:44.780 That's their solution to both the World Bank and the IMF. Point 49 talks about the new
00:38:53.220 intra-BRICS trade system that can make transactions within their group. What does that mean? Do you
00:39:01.000 remember when we kicked the world off of SWIFT? We'll get them now. We won't be able to make
00:39:06.600 transactions because we're the only one with a system that can make those inner bank and inner
00:39:12.300 country transactions. We're going to kick them off of SWIFT. Huh. There's a new intra-BRICS trade system
00:39:23.040 that will do what SWIFT used to do. The last thing is to ditch the dollar. And they can completely
00:39:32.980 circumvent Western sanctions. But it also will mean that half the world will dump their dollars.
00:39:42.300 You think there's inflation now? Wait until half of the countries of the world no longer need to use
00:39:50.940 the dollar. No longer believe it's worth its weight in gold and just dump them. Putin said directly
00:39:59.740 right out in the open during the BRICS summit, they are telling us what they're going to do.
00:40:05.660 They are urging us to pay attention. And we are so arrogant that we are not taking it seriously.
00:40:14.520 Everything I pointed out to all of those friends and economists that I've talked to over the last
00:40:19.960 20 years, that the dollar is going to be dethroned. And they said, no, because there's no other system.
00:40:27.020 You don't understand. And I said, I understand the free market and humans enough to know there's
00:40:33.380 there's a point of no return where people say, you know what? It's not worth it. Let's build
00:40:39.100 something else and then clobber the dollar. That will never happen. Well, I've lived in a point of
00:40:47.800 history where I've seen too many things that cannot happen. Happen.
00:40:54.420 By the way, if you have to live under this system, which we will, all of this goes through. I want you
00:41:05.480 to know this. Brazil is the world's second largest soy producer. Russia is the largest wheat producer.
00:41:15.100 South Africa is top 10 in corn. China has a quarter of the game of the world's grain. India is number two
00:41:23.860 in rice. You add Saudi Arabia and we're done. What is it we're doing? We should be reinforcing. We
00:41:35.920 should be unleashing our energy index or energy producers. We should be unleashing our farmers.
00:41:45.360 farmers. There's new stories out today that 75% of the farmers and ranchers either sold off a good
00:41:53.940 portion of their cattle for slaughter. And if they were growing crops, a third of it, they plowed under.
00:42:03.120 We should be going the opposite direction. We are regulating and squeezing our own people and then 0.83
00:42:14.900 pissing off the rest of the world. Prepare for impact because it will come. It's not a conspiracy theory.
00:42:24.760 It is not insane. Russia and China are doing it now. Prepare yourself.
