Transcript
00:00:00.000
hey podcasters it's uh monday and we have a comrade update yes good news from the western
00:00:08.380
front comrades we'll get into that also steve dace joins us there's this great video i posted
00:00:15.020
up at glennbeck.com uh of michael glertner and a couple of other really really big respected
00:00:21.780
eggheads who were talking about darwinism and the days of darwinism it's over it's over now
00:00:27.960
will science recognize it also we began uh part one in a i think a four-part series this week
00:00:34.900
on the economy who broke the economy is america truly the best of the last best hope for mankind
00:00:42.800
boy you will not believe the stats on that and china's no pun intended trump card information
00:00:49.220
on the economy all this week uh that you really need to hear in the podcast if you listen to the
00:00:55.020
radio show or the podcast that will be uh our number two all this week don't miss it also trump
00:01:01.580
macron at the g7 summit the future of uh of of 5g also cows that are being raped not by men
00:01:14.360
but by other cows so finally somebody's talking about it and that's us on today's podcast
00:01:20.960
you're listening to the best of the glennbeck program
00:01:31.620
yes my dear comrades we have almost almost reached the fundamental transformation
00:01:43.120
of the united states oh sing it out sing it out
00:01:49.940
yes the climate crisis is the final icing on the cake yes american standards have changed
00:02:08.260
americans morals have changed their values have changed they now prefer security over freedom
00:02:26.760
oh comrades it's been a long tiresome road we thought this was all in our past back in 1990
00:02:36.320
but no no no no no no no the scientific community according to bernie sanders is telling us in no
00:02:44.240
uncertain terms that we have less than 11 years to transform our energy system away from fossil fuels
00:02:51.920
to energy efficiency and sustainable energy except they're not saying that but
00:02:56.920
in fact they're specifically saying stop saying that we're saying that you really need to be rounded up if we're going to leave this planet healthy for ourselves for our children for our grandchildren for future generations
00:03:12.220
bernie sanders says is rising temperatures and extreme weather create health emergencies drive land loss displacement destroy jobs threaten livelihoods we must guarantee health care housing and a good paying job to every american
00:03:28.860
especially to those who have been historically excluded from economic success thank you so he has a plan and here's his plan it's only going to cost us 16 trillion dollars
00:03:48.780
he says he says he's going to reach 100 percent renewable energy for electricity and transportation by no later than 23rd 30
00:04:02.940
wow wow 11 years 11 years nice uh 100 percent 100 percent renewable energy wow for transportation well it's already up to 7 percent how much tougher can it be
00:04:22.940
he's going to end unemployment uh by 2030 because he's going to create 20 million jobs to solve the climate crisis crisis
00:04:36.700
these jobs will be good paying they'll be union jobs with strong benefits and safety standards in steel and
00:04:46.040
auto manufacturing auto manufacturing i really we're going to have cars still construction energy efficiency
00:04:54.000
and retrofitting coding server farms renewable power plants we will also create millions of jobs in sustainable agriculture
00:05:04.620
the government is going to get their hands into farming yay
00:05:11.300
it always works out so well when they start screwing around with the farms and the food
00:05:18.360
we'll also create millions of jobs in engineering reimagined and expanded civilian conservation corps
00:05:26.800
so we can go back to what fdr did and preserving our public lands
00:05:32.980
we'll also have direct investment at historic 16.3 trillion dollar public investment
00:05:39.660
it's the new deal and what they did in world war ii but with an explicit choice to include black
00:05:47.960
indigenous and other minority communities who were systematically excluded in the past
00:05:54.220
a just transition for workers this plan will prioritize the fossil fuel workers who have powered our economy for more than a century
00:06:04.920
and have too often been neglected by corporations and politicians
00:06:08.720
we will guarantee five years of all workers current salaries
00:06:13.960
housing assistance job training health care pension support and priority job placement for anyone displaced
00:06:25.460
as well as early retirement for support for those who choose or can no longer work
00:06:31.580
wow this is going to be a lot less than 16 trillion you said it yeah comrades declaring climate change a national emergency
00:06:42.020
we must take action to to ensure a habitable planet for ourselves for our children for our grandchildren
00:06:49.500
and we will do whatever it takes to defeat the threat of climate change after we declare a national emergency
00:07:00.940
saving americans family family's money by weatherizing all american homes
00:07:08.900
lower the energy bills bills building affordable and high quality modern transportation
00:07:15.680
what could that be horses providing grants and trade-in programs for families and small businesses to purchase
00:07:24.520
high efficiency electric vehicles and rebuilding our if inefficient and crumbling infrastructure
00:07:30.740
including deploying universal affordable high-speed internet finally finally
00:07:38.300
yes you're going to be able you're all mothers are going to be able to have high speed
00:07:44.680
those who have been struggling because they can't surf the web like they like
00:07:49.980
supporting false small family farms by investing in ecologically regenerative and sustainable agriculture
00:07:58.420
thank god because you know you know what the farmers hate is anything that helps the soil
00:08:05.700
they have they don't want that they have not been doing right by the soil
00:08:10.100
you know they like to they like to plant something that does not regenerate right they like to plant something
00:08:16.300
so that it grows nothing for them the next year right they just want that one year's worth of crops
00:08:20.680
that's all they're asking for those bastards this plan will transfer all of our farms
00:08:26.940
to fight climate change and provide sustainable local foods and break the corporate stranglehold
00:08:35.760
on farmers and ranchers you know there's nobody that hates corporate farming as much as i do
00:08:41.120
and i mean that sincerely but it did feed an awful lot of people just billions so only billions let's make sure we
00:08:51.720
just get rid of all those corporate farms in 10 years wow what's the worst that could happen
00:08:58.400
justice for frontline communities especially under resource groups communities of colors native americans
00:09:06.680
people with disabilities children the elderly to recover from and repair for climate impacts
00:09:12.160
including through a 40 billion dollar climate justice justice resiliency fund
00:09:18.120
and providing those frontline and fence line communities just a just transition
00:09:23.800
including real jobs resilient infrastructure and economic development
00:09:28.340
bernie sanders also wants to commit to reducing emissions throughout the world
00:09:33.760
so it's not just going to be here we're going to donate 200 billion dollars to the green climate fund
00:09:41.440
oh good yeah finally finally finally we will meet and exceed our fair share of global emissions reductions
00:09:48.080
make we'll make massive investments in research and development expand the climate justice movement
00:09:54.280
invest in con in conservation in all public and private lands and the good news here
00:10:01.780
it will all pay for itself in this no longer free market in just over 15 years
00:10:16.520
holy cow wow wow we'll get into that and uh what all of that means coming up in uh just a second
00:10:29.180
also hey don't worry about the economy don't worry about it nothing to see here we'll talk about that
00:10:36.580
coming up in a second how's your gut feel on the economy still or pat uh you know i i think we're
00:10:44.360
teetering on the edge do you you know what's really weird is um you know how i've always had the
00:10:51.760
promptings of uh i've had that kind of feeling yeah uh i don't right now but here's what i do have
00:11:01.300
which i think is more frightening may not be to you but it is to me it's are you optimistic right
00:11:07.420
now because when that happens it usually means trouble uh no i'm not here's what i here's what i am
00:11:13.200
um you already know what to do prepare i can't tell you anymore yeah i just i get this feeling of
00:11:24.400
last call and no hype no hyperbole no you know no panic if you're not going to prepare
00:11:35.240
it's going to be too late soon if you haven't battened down the hat i just everything in me is
00:11:42.580
like pay off anything you can get out of anything that you can pay your credit card debt get just
00:11:50.800
don't spend money don't spend money don't spend money and make sure that you're prepared in all
00:11:57.280
things uh do what you're supposed to do uh that to me is more disturbing um because it just seems
00:12:07.880
uh final i guess maybe you know it's kind of like you and your mom was like you gotta you gotta get
00:12:17.000
this stuff done because school's gonna start you gotta get this stuff done you gotta get this stuff
00:12:20.840
done and you messed around and then your mom just looks at you you know the night before and you're
00:12:25.460
like i didn't get all that done and she's like well told you told you it's too late now yeah uh you
00:12:32.220
might want to really pay attention i'm going to give you uh five monologues today explaining the
00:12:38.280
economy not today over the week then we're going to do it in hour two every day and it will explain
00:12:45.200
what's really happening today i want to tell you something that we told you before but now it matters
00:12:54.060
we told you that china was doing a few different things about six months ago and we said this is
00:13:02.080
going to be trouble down the road well the road is now at trouble and i'll explain what's really
00:13:09.760
going on something that no one in the press is talking about and you need to understand it that's
00:13:16.460
segment one today in hour number two and we'll do it in hour number two a different part of the
00:13:22.320
economy that you need to understand uh every day this week in the top of hour two
00:13:31.800
hey it's glenn and if you like what you hear on the program you should check out pat gray unleashed
00:13:43.380
his podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast so over the weekend i watched
00:13:49.100
something from the hoover institute it was about an hour-long dialogue between a uh a biologist
00:13:57.580
a world-renowned biologist a world-renowned philosopher and david galertner uh from yale
00:14:03.760
university who was a world-renowned mathematician and the subject was darwinism for suckers uh and
00:14:12.480
um galertner is the driving force behind this uh at least this part of the the news cycle on this
00:14:19.440
that nobody is paying attention but he he was a fan of darwin and said i liked it it was elegantly
00:14:27.860
simple i thought it was a good way to explain it it was a good theory there were parts of it that
00:14:34.720
didn't work um but i'm sorry to see this go but we have to admit this is not what happened darwinism
00:14:43.200
is done because of science and mathematics and anyone who tells you differently is a zealot and lying
00:14:53.000
they're not honest well you can imagine that there is going to be some blowback on this and i was so
00:14:59.840
happy to see uh that our own steve dace is is all over this story and i wanted to bring steve in
00:15:06.640
because he probably could explain a little bit he's a little smarter than i am so i thought he could
00:15:11.520
explain it a little bit uh he's written an article for uh the blaze if you challenge darwinism you
00:15:17.600
challenge everything about progressivism welcome to the program mr daze hey guys good morning good to
00:15:24.180
talk to you glenn thanks for having me back you bet you bet so tell me how you found this uh
00:15:29.700
story did you just stumble across it um have you watched the hoover institute uh debate on this
00:15:37.620
i didn't watch the debate i did read some accounts of of what and it's glettner is that how it's
00:15:43.980
pronounced well i think i mispronounce it so don't take it from me but i've always called him david
00:15:48.860
glertner and i've done it to his face and he's never corrected me but he's a really nice guy so he
00:15:53.400
probably wouldn't well if you do the math on this uh there's a there's an astrophysicist from used to
00:16:00.460
be from my neck of the woods at iowa state and he got he ran out uh at his tenure hearing because he
00:16:05.620
dared to work on the uh the privileged planet intelligent design project and he he ended up
00:16:11.840
delving into intelligent design because he started doing the math on this and and the math essentially
00:16:16.600
says the odds that over a random natural reoccurring purposeless meaningless processes
00:16:23.940
would result in the universe uh on a macro level that we see uh the earth on a on a mini macro level
00:16:32.100
that we have and then individual life comprised of 20 trillion complex cells that each of us possess
00:16:38.540
the odds of that occurring with meaningless random you know purposeless natural occurrences
00:16:43.780
no matter any period of time are about the odds of you taking a follicle of your hair
00:16:49.000
putting it on a tee on the dark side of the moon and then with a driver having it land anywhere on
00:16:55.820
planet earth okay those are the odds okay so hang on just a second so so people know you really have to
00:17:02.340
read up on this um and and watch this hoover institute i'll put this on glennbeck.com today but it is
00:17:10.560
it is fascinating because they go into uh why this doesn't work they explain look for for small
00:17:19.720
things survival of the the fittest it might work for instance you know your beak is you know a quarter
00:17:27.760
of an inch longer or your fur is a little thinner or whatever that might work and darwin may explain
00:17:34.600
minute changes but then they get into what it takes to make one species and the odds are
00:17:43.940
astronomical that we could even have one species and i i'm always fascinated when i go here when i
00:17:52.120
step on this shibboleth of the day and i'm always fascinated to see the responses and so uh several
00:17:57.700
some of the responses i got glenn were well uh this is a mathematics professor he's not a biologist
00:18:02.760
well great because neither was charles darwin in fact when he boarded the hms beagle
00:18:07.020
the the infancy science that fascinated him was actually geology all right and then i was told well
00:18:13.380
this guy is not a geneticist well great neither was darwin in fact gregor mendel the catholic monk
00:18:18.300
credited with starting uh genetics um he wrote his first findings in 1866 so he was a contemporary of
00:18:24.760
darwin's they never studied each other they never even met or read each other uh and then the mapping
00:18:30.340
and sequencing of the human genome which is essentially the what we know about the basis
00:18:35.100
of individual life and how it works that wasn't concluded until well into the 21st century the
00:18:40.700
individual who led that project for many years dr francis collins is actually a theist all right so
00:18:45.820
darwin wasn't a geneticist either and then we're told well you know this go ahead no i was just going
00:18:50.700
to say that the the one of their main points is darwin just didn't know all of the things that we do now
00:18:58.740
so we have we have the dna codes now which he didn't have any idea that there were even genetic codes
00:19:06.540
let alone how complex they are so there's many things none of them these guys are condemning uh
00:19:13.440
uh darwin they're all saying the same thing look at his time this was this was very very bright and
00:19:21.700
could have been but as we have moved forward the last 150 years we now know there's no way this is
00:19:30.200
even logical what you're what you just pointed out you know we draw this distinction on my show on a
00:19:37.260
regular basis that there's a difference between liberals and leftists the liberals we all got into this
00:19:43.060
business to defeat uh and argue against are just people who uh want government to permit you to do
00:19:48.300
this stuff that god says is dumb and immoral but these new leftists that we're encountering now
00:19:52.860
these are the dogmas these are this is the new inquisition the new antifada these are people that
00:19:58.280
want government to compel you to do those things and if you're not willing to then you will be made to
00:20:03.060
care and this is now in the world of so-called science at the exact same time what you're describing
00:20:08.860
with these individuals these are just men of honest scientific inquiry i have no idea
00:20:13.000
what their religious or philosophical beliefs are but they're actually just following the
00:20:16.900
scientific method they're noting that we didn't get carbon dating until a full century after
00:20:21.280
origin of species almost archaeology as a refined science wasn't recognized for another half century
00:20:27.400
after origin of species so they're just following clues and facts as they see them and letting the
00:20:32.400
chips fall where they may well it's also you know darwin darwin didn't he said in origin of species
00:20:39.400
which is very well argued i think it's nonsense but it's very well argued for the time um and he
00:20:46.200
says in there he can't explain the cabri the cambrian explosion which is a 70 million year period
00:20:54.880
that all of a sudden you go from no life to an explosion of life overnight well right where did that
00:21:02.760
come from exactly so to me i think there's a debate over the origin of species and then there's a
00:21:09.800
debate over the descent of man and and what you see in most american faculties today i mean dr francis
00:21:16.180
collins who led the human genome project for many years um he couldn't teach earth science at most
00:21:21.600
eighth grade public schools in america once he stated he was a theist they'd kick him out it wouldn't allow
00:21:27.200
it wouldn't be on a college campus and the ridiculousness of this is this is now where
00:21:32.480
we're going to take scientific inquiry and we're going to apply worldview and ethical conclusions
00:21:38.520
to it and the ugly stuff of darwinism that you see with the aborigines and favored races and
00:21:44.640
references to savages you know a lot of that is in descent of man which is kind of the hadith
00:21:49.320
to to origin of species um quran if you get the analogy you know we often quote the quran for
00:21:55.940
ugliness but the real real ugliness is in the hadiths and the same thing is true in the descent
00:22:00.820
of man so that the philosophical premises the niches the utilitarianism the marx's all of those
00:22:07.240
things are conclusions of where we take if we all agree that life is random and purposelessness
00:22:12.880
we still need an ethic we need a mythos to define who we are and why we're here and this is where the
00:22:19.060
post-modern deconstructionists come in and say you know what we've got an alternative plan for you
00:22:24.240
and that's the alternative religion that these leftists will clutch and hold on to because it's
00:22:29.200
their idol are you gonna be talking about this on your show today i'm sure it'll come up for a couple
00:22:34.620
of minutes yeah okay steve thank you so much it was a great article that you wrote uh over the weekend
00:22:39.500
and i'm glad you're on top of it and uh and thank you so much appreciate it you got it brother take
00:22:43.760
care steve days he is uh from the steve day show which is heard on the blaze radio network right after
00:22:48.720
this program his story is if you challenge darwinism you challenge everything about progressivism
00:22:54.240
it is it is it is one of the most amazing stories scientifically of our lifetime we are now at the
00:23:07.360
point when you listen to these guys now these are not schlubs i mean michael glertner is not he's he's
00:23:14.340
not just a mathematician he's one of the world david he's one of the greatest mathematicians of our
00:23:19.540
time um and you know he's looking at this uh just from a mathematical standpoint because one of the
00:23:29.020
guys who said hey maybe we should look at the genetic code uh as as an actual code maybe there is
00:23:38.400
something to all of these little things we see you know in the microscope maybe there is something
00:23:43.920
that's like a code and so he started breaking it down and that led to the human genome um uh
00:23:50.820
what do you call it a project project uh and we have found that it is an actual code and every gene
00:24:00.020
every piece of dna has a code and it's in a certain uh particular you know it's like you got to add a
00:24:07.480
quarter cup of flour then you have to add the eggs then you have to have this and it's very different
00:24:12.740
different from you know a cake to a pie and sometimes it's just the way you order things
00:24:20.380
and what david was saying was it those codes are so complex that if you took a string of let's say
00:24:28.140
pearls and it wrapped it was a long string of pearls that would go down to your belly and it could wrap
00:24:34.900
around your neck 15 times the genetic code for each of us in every animal is the equivalent of saying
00:24:44.560
okay this one has to be a ruby then a diamond then two pearls then an amethyst and then whatever uh you
00:24:55.140
know a piece of coral and they have to be in the right place he said even with all of the time that we
00:25:02.460
have it doesn't work and it also doesn't work with the cambrian explosion so he's he's saying look that
00:25:11.400
the code doesn't work and then the biggest thing that i i thought was they were explaining how if you're
00:25:19.780
going to change an animal from one animal to another you don't do it at the end so in other words
00:25:28.200
you don't change a zebra to a cow at the end because the first dna strand is that of a zebra the first
00:25:42.160
dna strand is that of a cow and then you build it off of that if you take the genetic code of a zebra
00:25:51.400
it won't have the bone density it won't have the structure it won't have the internal systems
00:25:59.100
that a cow has so the you can't do it too late because then it's just a you know it's like a
00:26:08.180
horse and a donkey become a mule if you do it too late you know it it doesn't it doesn't work
00:26:16.020
if you do it too early which you must do the entire structure falls apart it is a fascinating
00:26:24.680
conversation a little heady but everybody should know it because it i i believe this is the beginning
00:26:33.160
of the real undoing of not only this this nonsense of of just an explosion and things kind of flew
00:26:42.000
together like monkeys at a typewriter yeah uh and uh and changes as as steve points out all of the
00:26:50.340
marxist theories they all go away if this goes away this is the best of the glenn beck program
00:26:59.600
hey it's glenn and you're listening to the glenn beck program if you like what you're hearing on
00:27:13.980
this show make sure you check out pat gray unleashed it's available wherever you download
00:27:19.320
your favorite podcasts all right so i want to there's a lot of people saying oh thanks
00:27:24.460
donald trump for wrecking the the obama economic policy growth and all the great things we had
00:27:34.320
there's a lot of blame going around for the economy and there's going to be a ton more
00:27:39.640
so i want to start i'm going to take you three places today who broke the economy and how they broke it
00:27:47.660
what's really going on then how the rest of the world views us and it's shocking we truly are the
00:27:59.740
last best hope for mankind and i can tell you that because i'm going to show you how countries are
00:28:05.800
putting their money where their mouth is or actually their money where their mouth isn't they can talk
00:28:12.200
america down but boy oh boy they have a lot to lose if we fail and then i want to share something
00:28:19.960
about china that is really critical for you to understand i call it the trump card that no one
00:28:29.240
knows anybody is holding first let's start with the economy from america's heartland we see the
00:28:36.020
headlines telling us farm and bankruptcies have reached levels not seen since the farm crisis in the
00:28:42.180
1980s and in some states more than 80 percent of farms are now facing bankruptcy this is a real
00:28:50.420
problem this was one of the mainstays and the the one of the spines if you will or several of the
00:28:58.420
vertebrae in the spine of the trump election farmers more than 20 american cities virtually all of them
00:29:06.200
democratic strongholds have a homeless crisis that have reached epidemic proportions while at the
00:29:12.160
cdc they are now having to dust the textbooks to figure out how to deal with outbreaks of typhus
00:29:18.780
and cholera tuberculosis measles polio and the bubonic plague progressivism has taken us to the stone age
00:29:29.360
since 2012 95 percent of the wage and income growth is concentrated at the top five percent wealthiest
00:29:37.600
same is true with corporations while 75 percent of the fortune 500 companies have shown income growth
00:29:45.160
since 2014 more than 60 percent of small business owners have reported shrinking incomes that's main
00:29:53.360
street also not good for the president while the fed and uncle sam report that we're enjoying full
00:30:01.460
employment 100 million american adults are still not in the labor force around the world nearly all
00:30:07.740
sovereign bonds issued by governments now have a negative yield which i'll explain in a minute
00:30:14.100
including germany france japan italy belgium switzerland the uk brazil and south africa even when
00:30:22.680
adjusting for population growth student debt corporate debt credit card debt government debt are now all
00:30:30.380
at all time highs something is broken and many of us are holding our breath and hoping that things are
00:30:41.080
going to be okay because we have some positive things happening but there are others all around the world
00:30:47.920
that want this economy to fall apart something's broken
00:30:53.240
so now where do we put the blame well trump broke it he cut taxes while dramatically increasing government
00:31:02.560
spending sending our deficits and debt to levels that exceeded the worst of the obama years and he has
00:31:08.260
put tariffs on more than 40 percent of the goods imported into the united states which makes things more
00:31:14.140
expensive for the average person but then again maybe it was obama and the democrats distorting more
00:31:21.160
than 20 percent of the u.s economy with obamacare sending health care costs soaring and making millions off of
00:31:29.560
student debt by making people into serfs by using federal student loans as a piggy bank to fund health care
00:31:38.700
exchanges or maybe it was the fed in wall street who created the housing crisis with ultra low interest rates
00:31:46.820
after the dot-com bubble and by turning the mortgage industry into a speculation a futures market with
00:31:53.340
collateralized debt obligations but maybe it was bush too i mean bush too he got us into two forever wars
00:32:02.480
in the middle east costing the taxpayers more than a trillion dollars and resulting in what negotiations
00:32:09.180
with the taliban couldn't we done that in 2003 iraq and afghanistan are both still in shambles syria is still run
00:32:18.480
by assad iran is currently seizing oil tankers at will in the gulf and our will to fight is at an all-time low
00:32:26.460
but maybe it was clinton because clinton is the guy who federalized fannie may and freddie mack
00:32:33.020
in a bid to help poorer americans who couldn't afford down payments to gain to gain the access to the
00:32:39.640
american dream and home ownership resulting in millions of americans living in homes they couldn't
00:32:45.320
pay for when unemployment spiked of course then again it was probably reagan's fault because reagan
00:32:53.160
implemented a successful program to end the cold war but he did it by outspending the soviets in a
00:32:58.920
military buildup but in turn sent the budget deficit soaring for the first time
00:33:03.440
but i don't like to blame us so let's look to the saudis because it was probably the saudis
00:33:10.860
who in the 1960s colluded with the u.s to create the petrodollar forcing all nations to pay for oil only in
00:33:18.860
u.s dollars trapping all all nations around the world against their will onto the u.s dollar standard
00:33:26.400
so long as the house of sod controlled opec or it could be nixon nixon who took america and the world
00:33:34.580
due to the breton woods agreement which tied all global currencies to the u.s dollar off the gold
00:33:40.380
standard in 1971 that way we could have a never-ending cycle of credit expansion and inflation
00:33:46.420
and that's what really pushed the world to economic disaster or it could be johnson who said we'll spend
00:33:54.060
our way out of poverty we'll make sure that no child is ever poor our federal debt today is about
00:34:01.860
23 trillion dollars we have spent on this war on poverty coincidentally about 23 trillion dollars
00:34:09.320
and nothing has changed then again it could be franklin roosevelt i mean franklin roosevelt
00:34:16.740
lyndon johnson they created medicare social security farm subsidies unemployment insurance three programs
00:34:22.620
which together consume over 70 percent of all federal tax revenue turning america into the largest and
00:34:30.800
costliest welfare state in the history of the world we spend more than the soviet union did
00:34:38.000
with a total cost of 2.5 trillion dollars per year
00:34:43.080
now we got to go back further who destroyed it was probably at the creation of the federal reserve
00:34:50.220
when congress formally abdicated its constitutional responsibility to maintain and defend the nation's
00:34:57.680
money supply gold and silver instead handing control of our monetary system and currency to a cabal of
00:35:03.840
private banks which we still don't know which ones they are and bankers who shifted the u.s and the world
00:35:11.580
i mean i could go on but i think you see the dilemma what ails the u.s and the global economy is not trump's
00:35:20.040
tariffs though they are a bad idea in my opinion it's not the transition from fossil fuels to renewable
00:35:27.140
energy it's not the bank and corporate bailouts of 2009 that papered over the financial crisis
00:35:32.840
with ever increasing unpayable debt it's all of these things
00:35:37.940
it's 100 years of misadventure through progressivism
00:35:46.400
evaluating each one in a vacuum can make it seem like it was a good idea at the time
00:35:52.360
but when you examine it as a connected series of events in context
00:35:56.400
what do you get you get a clear picture of policy decisions that made an eventual global financial crisis
00:36:15.520
well if we're going to be honest and we're going to talk about
00:36:23.380
we all have to stop the finger pointing and say we all did
00:36:34.800
by doing more of the very thing that started us along this misadventure in the first place
00:36:48.640
if you look at the entire litany of poor policy decisions
00:36:54.600
to what many believe is the brink of economic disaster
00:37:58.560
you're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program
00:38:06.040
I'd like to have some laughs at the expense of Joe Biden
