00:01:46.280 just put people on a plane and ship them over wow i kind of agree with them actually because these

00:01:51.920 people were not from haiti they had got many of them many of them uh had uh gone away from haiti and

00:01:58.520 now they're going to a place that they really don't know they were already going to a place they

00:02:03.860 don't know we should be clear that's true yeah yeah yeah i don't have it's hard to have all that

00:02:08.560 much sympathy for someone who is trying to come here to break our laws and get into our country 1.00

00:02:13.940 it winds up back in their home country except our own nation is inviting them yes i mean it's it's 0.93

00:02:19.580 more complicated it's more complicated i would say i just i just wanted to point out another country

00:02:24.940 is mad at us wait no no actually we've uh we're back america's back oh really yeah we're back people

00:02:33.660 love us again is that why respect we demand is now here after donald trump ruined it you sure he

00:02:40.340 didn't say uh america is turning its back no uh i don't think so america is back and that's why you 0.98

00:02:47.760 can keep continuing to kick us in the ass is that because that's another face that's our back 0.99

00:02:53.100 a kick me sign on the back of us uh it's uh it's not good so uh yesterday there was a white house 0.99

00:03:00.500 squabble with um boris johnson you know they took the questions and uh boris said yeah bbc

00:03:07.660 yeah and he takes a question like any any leader would do in this situation happens all the time

00:03:13.340 no i i've never seen it has it ever happened i don't think so questions from the media no questions

00:03:19.380 from another he taking charge of it and then asking for the questions has that ever happened

00:03:24.620 before where he takes over for the american president just starts inviting questions well

00:03:28.980 usually what happens is they both get questions yes yes but it's usually the president who would say

00:03:33.720 yeah let's open it but he's so out of it that i think boris think he is control i don't think he

00:03:40.080 is that out of it i you know i am comfortable saying he is out of it i am comfortable saying that

00:03:46.400 yeah but i don't know i go back and forth a little bit on this yeah i'm not convinced that

00:03:52.100 he's not very lucid when they you know jack him up with drugs or whatever at some points of the day

00:03:59.540 yes but if you go later in the day that which is why he doesn't uh then he's you know the medication

00:04:06.340 is worn off he's getting a little tired and then the dementia creeps back in yeah i mean he's there's

00:04:11.460 definitely moments where he's having major problems with this stuff oh yeah i'm reading peril this

00:04:15.960 bob woodward robert costa book that's out and you know the one that that talked about mark milley

00:04:21.220 uh calling over to china that's kind of what that's how the book starts uh that whole exchange

00:04:26.000 but i if you were to say that what is the one defining characteristic that this book is trying

00:04:31.900 to come to to push across like what what is it trying to communicate to you obviously there's stuff

00:04:37.740 about trump in there and how bad he is uh because that's a large focus of it but if there's one thing

00:04:43.160 they're trying to push down your throat in this book i would say is that joe biden is totally

00:04:47.100 engaged in all of this oh you gotta be kidding i mean that is every single one of these scenarios

00:04:52.120 they go on and on and on and on about how engaged he is how how many questions he asked how much he

00:04:58.060 wanted to know every little detail his staff was so annoyed with him because he kept asking for all

00:05:02.740 the little minuscule details bs that's bs i don't believe it so that it's bob woodward who you know

00:05:10.280 i don't have a problem saying you know doesn't necessarily tell the truth oh sure right right

00:05:16.760 um however fake right it could just be what they're trying to get across now what's interesting

00:05:21.040 that makes him just a tool though that makes that whole book simply a tool and bob woodward

00:05:26.580 a tool yeah and i don't think i'm the first one that said that bob woodward's a tool but

00:05:31.920 woodward though takes real sources and basically believes what they tell him so no matter what yeah

00:05:40.820 and mostly and mostly no matter what so like he'll get five aides from the biden administration right

00:05:47.020 that tell him joe biden is super engaged and here's all these stories what i found interesting about it

00:05:51.420 though was the book was written for example before afghanistan turns into a catastrophe

00:05:56.240 right yeah before the fourth wave of covid right at this point they're thinking oh he solved these

00:06:03.100 problems oh he's going to get us out of afghanistan and it's a way of having showing biden as super

00:06:08.180 engaged to take credit for all the wonderful things he's about to accomplish yeah well we now know all 0.65

00:06:12.860 those things fell apart well his aides are liars uh and you know they are yeah i think that's true

00:06:17.820 though that's a legitimate and you look at the boris johnson uh joe biden meeting the other day 0.79

00:06:24.360 as soon as johnson takes a breath his people are ushering the press out of there because they

00:06:30.520 don't want biden to be subjected to any kind of questioning they know he can't do it he's incapable

00:06:35.780 of handling it and so as soon as they can jump in in mid-sentence from boris johnson they rush

00:06:42.740 everybody out of so nobody has a chance play that audio here's so weird it is here's the uh audio

00:06:47.900 and biden just looks at it like he's confused yeah i mean it's one thing to like okay the press

00:07:05.740 conference is over you stand up you shake boris's hand you say something into his ear you act like

00:07:11.040 you're on your phone i don't know anything other than just sitting there staring but they know they

00:07:15.640 must prevent disaster and so that's how they handle it they're they're shutting off his sometimes in

00:07:22.020 the middle of his his at the well it's not in the middle but at the end of his press conferences when

00:07:26.620 he starts to go off of script they will just turn off the feed yeah and it's done that multiple times

00:07:33.420 and to go back to this book for a quick second they they do show him as hyper engaged in the policy

00:07:39.140 details the behind the scenes negotiations all that however they also the book confirms something

00:07:46.180 that we said throughout the entire campaign which was they yes they literally did build a wall around

00:07:53.180 him so that he would not have moments with the press he would not have questions that were that

00:07:57.660 would surprise him they said they built a wall around him to avoid longer interviews because they

00:08:02.960 knew eventually he would say something that got into the press and screwed something up and

00:08:07.820 they basically confirmed that yes he was hiding and using covid to hide in his basement in his

00:08:14.960 basement so that none of this stuff would happen my god and just let donald trump wow be the focus

00:08:20.940 of the campaign let him say his stuff let him tweet his stuff let him do everything don't make news

00:08:26.420 and that was the look and i we said at the time i think that's a smart way for joe biden to run a

00:08:31.900 campaign because he's obviously terrible and anytime anyone thinks about him they can't vote for him

00:08:36.940 so the only hope was make this all about donald trump 24 hours a day and act as if you're not

00:08:43.160 even running for president and that's what they did so i think the next shoot a fall and i don't i don't

00:08:48.460 know uh i mean he could screw anything up we could be in nuclear war tomorrow um with france uh the the

00:08:55.720 the next shoot a fall i think is the economy if you look at what's happening yesterday the fed announced

00:09:02.580 now the fed came out the fed chair came out what six months ago and said we're not even going to

00:09:08.260 think of interest rates until 2022 2023 okay that's a long way off uh yesterday they said they were

00:09:17.460 going to end tapering which is you know end the free money giveaway they're going to end tapering

00:09:23.460 the nightly thing that they give away to the 12 banks no no that's they're not going to end that

00:09:28.480 you don't want to end that no this is the 50 billion a night to 12 banks i know i know trillion

00:09:33.340 dollars still they are uh they aren't they're they're uh going to taper off on on their buying

00:09:41.540 of stocks and bonds okay to keep the thing going the last time they did that the stock market went

00:09:49.260 down dramatically and everything took a bath okay so that's a bad sign uh then at the same time they

00:09:57.460 said we're going to end we're going to end this we're also going to raise interest rates next year

00:10:03.240 wow so they're going a year early and they they've already made this statement where it's not even on

00:10:11.380 the table now suddenly it's on the table and they're going to do it next year the the economy

00:10:18.300 is inflation is through the 5.3 percent that they're admitting to it's probably more worse than that

00:10:23.840 oh it's much worse than that by the end of the year i mean we're we're fortunate that it's not 40

00:10:29.380 right now and you know that could be yeah in the future i mean and i think probably this was the

00:10:36.760 first show that anyone in the audience unless you're super into finance heard about this chinese

00:10:40.760 company uh that is going uh under it seems evergrande is it yeah um and they are now not paying

00:10:48.980 employees like this thing seems like it's you know it is going out of control and it's it's

00:10:54.840 the lehman brothers of china of hundreds of billions of dollars in debt and it looks like they're not

00:11:00.740 going to be able to make payments on it right and just that sort of force with it with a with an

00:11:05.280 economy that's tied in like it is now it's going to affect can't they build an empty city that's

00:11:10.980 they're the ones who are building them that's the reason i just build a new giant city that no one

00:11:15.840 will live in yeah there's always a solution so if they go down we have almost 90 ships off the

00:11:22.620 coast of california trying to get into the los angeles port 90 cargo ships for for los angeles to

00:11:30.720 get backed up they they used to say one cargo ship is a really bad thing one cargo ship waiting okay they

00:11:38.860 want to move these things in and move them out they can't get people to truck it they can't get people

00:11:44.340 to move it i mean no employees no employees we have 90 cargo ships so if you're waiting for

00:11:51.360 something and is anybody else noticed you're waiting all the time somebody came to the house

00:11:58.820 because you know i'm two weeks away from finishing construction in my house oh really yeah wow so so

00:12:03.940 finally it's gonna there's light at the end of the tunnel so somebody came yesterday and they were

00:12:10.440 giving me an estimate on something that will definitely happen in the next two weeks so we're

00:12:14.600 all done right right and uh and i said uh well when when when is this they said no idea and i said what

00:12:23.960 do you mean no idea and they said i know i hate saying that because i seem incompetent but i'm telling

00:12:28.680 you the the uh suppliers will not even give us an estimate on when it will come in my gosh and i said

00:12:36.600 have you have you ever lived in a time in america where this has happened and she's like no never

00:13:34.860 that's the sort of decision making you're getting over there those are good decisions

00:14:40.140 this is the best of the glenbeck program and don't forget rate us on itunes

00:14:47.560 the author of america's covert border war senior national security fellow the center for

00:14:57.720 immigration studies his name is todd bensman welcome back to the program todd how are you

00:15:02.580 oh i'm doing great a little bit tired uh but uh doing well thank you yeah um so you have been on

00:15:10.040 the border tell us what the media is not showing us there are a few things one is

00:15:17.400 that the camp is almost and well it's it's about a quarter of what it was or about 4 000 left in it

00:15:25.160 uh it's gonna it's gonna be close up here probably in the next uh week or so uh but the other thing is

00:15:32.920 that most of the haitians that are coming are not fleeing earthquakes in haiti and they're not fleeing

00:15:40.520 presidential assassination or even grinding poverty they are have been living in chile and brazil for

00:15:50.680 many years the ones that are coming in prosperity relative uh prosperity and with resident cards and

00:16:00.360 with permission to work in those countries and they saw the biden uh opening the biden administration

00:16:09.400 opening the border back in january february and they started to come on mass and that is really uh

00:16:18.520 what is behind this that these people are not asylum seekers like a lot of democrats are saying

00:16:25.320 lawmakers on the on the progressive left talking about you know we have to bring in these uh poor people 1.00

00:16:32.680 who are in dire straits they are not in dire straits at all and i think people need to understand

00:16:40.360 that when they apply for asylum uh they will be lying and committing mass asylum fraud because they're

00:16:47.880 going to skip over the fact that they were living safely and securely in these other countries and that

00:16:54.760 is why i'm finding id identification cards all over the mexican bank the i see these these cards you took a

00:17:04.440 picture of yesterday they're all ids they all seem to be from chile uh a few passports from brazil they

00:17:11.080 just discard them um why why all of a sudden in chile i mean chile is a good country it's a nice place to

00:17:19.880 live why all of a sudden is everybody trying to abandon chile to come to the haitians to come to

00:17:25.960 america well i'll put it this way uh i was in costa rica reporting on the internet the international

00:17:35.160 nature and makeup of the new migration that's coming to the border from a hundred different countries

00:17:41.000 including the arab middle east and countries of terrorism concern all over the world coming right

00:17:46.760 through that area and i interviewed a haitian who i asked him that question i said you know what's

00:17:53.880 what's the difference between uh haiti and chile and he says well life is a thousand times better 0.61

00:18:00.280 here in in chile i said well why would you leave a life that's a thousand times better

00:18:05.560 in chile and he says because life in america is a million times better i mean in haiti it is a million

00:18:12.040 times better than in chile so uh it's an upgrade they're just simply going from good to what they 0.98

00:18:20.520 think will be better and and that is a far cry from an asylum claim of government persecution and it's

00:18:27.880 a really far cry from what progressive lawmakers and immigration advocates are claiming is desperate

00:18:35.560 poverty and dire straits none of these people were in desperate poverty they were making a living they

00:18:41.800 may not have been rich but they were working class and middle class and some of them did really quite

00:18:47.400 well you can see it they're flying around the country on aero tickets um did they organize this

00:18:54.040 on their own why it seems weird that all of a sudden all these haitians show up at the same place at the

00:19:00.120 same time okay i can explain that i spent a lot of time with haitians really drilling down into their

00:19:07.640 stories they're very recent stories uh here's i'm going to try to give you the quick version because i

00:19:13.480 know you're you've got uh only so much time but the biden administration asked the mexican government

00:19:21.320 some time ago to station its national guard on the southern border with guatemala to slow and the

00:19:29.160 slow roll the number of immigrants coming from mexico from guatemala through mexico to the u.s border

00:19:37.720 and the mexicans did that with a kind of uh bureaucratic um molasses requiring uh these haitians to 0.99

00:19:48.120 apply for temporary permission slips to be in mexico and asylum and different kinds of things and and

00:19:56.200 they weren't getting an answer for months on end they're just stuck down in tapachula on the border

00:20:01.720 there until thousands of them built up and what they told me is that on september 12th while they

00:20:09.560 were all waiting three four five six months and they were getting uh very antsy and causing disruptions

00:20:16.680 in the area they were told that the mexican government said that the mexican government just said forget it

00:20:24.200 you can all go now for the mexican independence holiday of the week of 12 of september 16 you can

00:20:33.320 go without papers just forget your claims here go and so why particular this particular because they

00:20:40.360 needed to clear them out okay uh they needed they were backlogged in mexico mexico did not want them

00:20:46.920 they passed that problem they passed that problem to the americans in violation of whatever diplomatic

00:20:51.960 agreement they had by the way with the biden administration so these particular haitians this

00:20:58.040 particular group of 15 000 and there's supposedly more on the way were just simply released they all

00:21:06.440 have the same story independently about el grito which is the mexican holiday of that week and i'm

00:21:14.600 thinking the mexican government probably intended to provide that holiday gift to their own people

00:21:21.320 because uh you know yeah so yeah that's that's the short-term story the bigger picture is they were

00:21:27.720 all headed to the u.s biden border anyway because they knew it was open and they're still coming in

00:21:34.520 large numbers in other parts of texas outside of the media lens uh uh range so i've i've read about two

00:21:43.800 buses that have been hijacked as they are being taken someplace is that true and is there more than

00:21:51.080 two and what's happening there okay i can explain that uh the biden administration did something very

00:22:01.480 weird for the biden administration and it shows how desperate they were to make

00:22:06.840 this political blot go away fast they took a card they took a play from the trump playbook

00:22:15.800 and started doing repatriation flights of these migrants from texas all the way to port-au-prince

00:22:23.960 now remember these people have been living for years away from haiti in these other countries and so to have 1.00

00:22:31.080 to go to be deported the port of prince was especially acutely painful for them uh i talked

00:22:39.000 to a lot of the immigrants yesterday and the day before in mexico because they were fleeing the camp

00:22:46.600 in terror of having of the possibility that they might get deported and what the haitian friends who

00:22:54.120 have been deported were telling them is stay away from the buses don't get on the buses don't get on the

00:22:59.160 buses those buses are going to the airport and you're going to end up where we ended up

00:23:04.840 and right about that time is when the violence started on the buses so my uh my speculation my

00:23:12.760 informed speculation is that these seizures of buses and the violence on the buses uh and there are other

00:23:19.960 cases of violence against ice officers they are attacking ice officers every day now because they

00:23:28.280 do not want to be repatriated to haiti but having said that repatriation to home countries like this

00:23:38.040 is incredibly affected more than anything else that is probably what has shut down this camp it stopped

00:23:46.360 anybody new coming in and all of the haitians that i talked to at least a thousand that i saw on the

00:23:53.240 the acuna side of the river the city of acuna uh were uh fleeing this idea that they could be deported

00:24:03.960 and i also spent time in the bus station in acuna filled with haitians buying bus tickets back to

00:24:12.040 tapachula mexico back to where they came from uh that is happening uh glenn so uh but the question is

00:24:21.080 whether the biden administration will hang on to that policy and keep using it because it would shut

00:24:27.960 this crisis down if he applied it to all nationalities across all of the border but he's under huge pressure

00:24:37.240 from his left they are killing him they are clubbing him for for using that policy

00:24:44.120 so tell me about the um uh the number of of people that have come in uh illegally uh from other

00:24:56.200 countries other than mexico and south of the border terrorist states right every year there are uh

00:25:06.120 thousands of people coming from 35 to 40 countries of mass what we would regard the intelligence community

00:25:14.040 as uh national security concern that's going to be afghanistan they are coming from afghanistan in small

00:25:21.960 numbers i expect greater numbers in the coming months from afghanistan pakistan uh bangladesh

00:25:32.040 syria iraq iran all of those countries have people coming through the same route that the haitians are 1.00

00:25:39.480 coming i met uh just the other day in mexico and angolan who flew into brazil from uh there's a like

00:25:47.720 a visa waiver between brazil and angola and he came in and he was telling me about all these other african

00:25:55.160 countries cameroon sierra leone liberia senegal mauritania and i've met immigrants from all of those

00:26:03.400 places on their way here uh lots of yemenis uh intelligence community sources tell me that

00:26:11.800 the yemeni problem is so grave because uh quite a few of them are on the u.s terror watch list that

00:26:19.320 have been caught at the border that there is a special unit that has been formed in ice homeland

00:26:27.000 security investigations just to deal with the terrorist concern in the yemeni population coming

00:26:34.600 over that border that is a true thing uh they caught two in california this year earlier this year who

00:26:42.680 were on the fbi's terror watch list one of them was on the no fly list in calexico california cbp

00:26:50.680 put a press release out about that it was taken down within 24 hours by the biden administration

00:26:56.760 saying what you can't talk about this right now when we've got all these um all this crisis

00:27:02.840 collapsing our border management systems jeez um runny have you talked to any of the um the

00:27:10.840 the border patrol agents themselves what is their morale like uh it is just it's been it's been in the

00:27:19.480 toilet for months and months uh keep in mind that this migrant camp that has attracted 1.00

00:27:26.740 all of this attention is only 15 000 and i say only because you have to keep that in context with the

00:27:36.020 fact that more than 50 000 a week are crossing that border 50 000 200 000 a month every month

00:27:44.900 for four months straight over 200 000 and uh close to 200 000 for many more months 1.5 million

00:27:53.860 so far and so it's a little bit um you know hard to believe that the media is concentrating on these

00:28:02.340 15 000 when you know that's a just a typical morning in texas jeez todd thank you so much i'm sorry to call

00:28:11.700 you uh rodney i was thinking about the former chief that has come out um um that has just come out and

00:28:19.940 released something uh i think it was yesterday it was sent into washington uh a report and it is

00:28:26.660 terrifying it is terrifying i read that yes it is and uh you know he's finally free to speak and i think

00:28:36.180 everybody should listen to him yeah and read what he's saying and by the way uh you know he even before

00:28:42.340 this released a video to the troops as he was leaving farewell kind of thing and he said he has

00:28:48.500 never seen more terrorists crossing the border than he did in his final months uh and if you want to know

00:28:55.940 more about that uh you know the way that works and how they come through and what we do as a country

00:29:01.380 about it pick up my book america's covert border war it's all revealed in their what we do uh as a nation

00:29:10.020 programmatically and the fact that we are having this horrendous border crisis is really threatening

00:29:17.380 those counter-terrorism programs that we have down there unbelievable todd bensman thank you so much

00:29:23.860 author of america's covert border war he is on the border now thank you so much we'll check in with you again

00:29:30.500 god appreciate it the best of the glenn beck program

00:29:39.780 so last night on the tv show i did a uh a three chalkboard show uh and it was first describing what

00:29:49.860 america is going to be like um when this all comes down and it's coming down faster than you think and you

00:30:00.260 already are feeling it you remember when they said just gonna have to get used to the new normal and

00:30:05.300 we were like i don't want the new norm what are you talking about new normal i don't want the new

00:30:10.500 normal i want normal but they have promised us normal with the president right donald trump throw him

00:30:18.820 out and things will go back to normal is this normal is this the way our president is supposed to

00:30:25.300 behave are these decisions that he's making normal no of course no it's not so then why are we listening

00:30:36.180 to them when they tell us they're going to bring normalcy back they're not going to bring normalcy back

00:30:44.260 they're bringing something very very different they are recreating and transforming america into

00:30:51.700 something that you will not recognize at all even from today and it's going to start happening uh

00:30:59.300 faster and faster and i i laid out a chalkboard last night that that shows that we're headed for massive

00:31:07.700 shortages and you need to prepare for this massive shortages in energy in food in the things that you

00:31:19.700 already are feeling you're going to a you're going to a store and you want to just pick something up

00:31:25.860 and they're saying we're all out of that we don't have that it'll be i don't know maybe a couple of

00:31:30.740 months before we get that in are you kidding me this is preparing you for a much lower standard of living

00:31:40.260 and i don't know how low it could go it could go to venezuela and don't laugh that off we have been on

00:31:48.180 this course now for almost 20 years i'm telling you that we could be venezuela in the next five to ten

00:31:57.940 that is not unreasonable i think we could be venezuela quite honestly in the next four

00:32:07.780 so prepare yourself for a much lower living standard prepare yourself for shortages of energy

00:32:14.980 beef fruits and vegetables prepare yourself for blackouts and brownouts

00:32:24.420 prepare yourself for your savings devalued by about

00:32:30.820 let's say 40 percent i'm being kind

00:32:35.540 zero privacy on your money zero privacy

00:32:41.620 your banks will become a big brother

00:32:49.540 you're going to have to get used to collective rules

00:32:52.820 this is good for the collective but it it's horrible for me in my community doesn't matter

00:32:58.580 prepare for that prepare for schools to be only teaching your kids to be activists

00:33:05.940 or to work for a giant corporation

00:33:11.060 those are the things that you have to prepare for and

00:33:15.460 by 2030 prepare for no ownership and no one to blame no one to vote out

00:33:24.260 have you noticed let's start there nobody takes blame for anything anymore

00:33:28.900 on afghanistan who's really responsible

00:33:35.220 i mean joe biden says the buck stops with him but does it is there any ramification

00:33:42.820 the buck stops with me means i'm responsible i'm not only going to take the blame but i will take the

00:33:49.620 the repercussions of that

00:33:54.420 there's there's only one repercussion for joe biden right now and that is his poll numbers are abysmal

00:34:01.380 he is now more less popular than kamala harris do you remember just a couple of months ago they

00:34:09.140 were talking about how dramatically low her rate is and how nobody nobody could expect her to do

00:34:16.980 anything in her career if she doesn't get her approval rating up and they had big meetings in

00:34:22.500 washington how are we going to get her approval ratings up he's now less popular than she is

00:34:28.260 but is that affecting anything really

00:34:35.780 do you hear anybody calling for him to be held accountable for the border

00:34:43.140 for afghanistan for inflation that is going through the roof for the fact that we can't

00:34:51.060 seem to go places that we've always gone to and do things that we've always done because nobody will

00:34:56.980 work there anymore because it's it's better for so many americans just to stay at home rather than go back

00:35:05.620 to work is this normal well it is the beginning of the new normal there were five things that made america

00:35:18.500 truly remarkable and they all worked together especially in the 20th century we had cheap and abundant

00:35:30.500 energy you go anywhere else in the world and energy is very expensive here we have more natural gas than

00:35:38.980 anybody else with the new oil reserves that have just recently been discovered and through fracking and

00:35:45.220 everything else we have more oil here than they did in saudi arabia we have energy like nobody's business we also have

00:35:56.980 rare earth minerals these are really important computer chips you know the shortage we have computer chips

00:36:08.500 solar panels all of those things need rare earth metals and rare earth minerals and we have them

00:36:15.700 but because of environmental reasons we're letting china mine all of theirs and we're not mining for hours it's off limits

00:36:29.940 we're no longer going to be looking for oil those that's a thing of the past we we decided we're not going to have

00:36:37.700 the xl pipeline we're going after our big oil companies we just had a we just had a a new board member or two added to

00:36:49.220 what was it exxon's board where they decided they're going to be a clean energy group that they're going to be

00:36:56.020 environmentally friendly which is wonderful and everything but you're an oil company

00:37:00.420 the price of gasoline has gone up 72 cents seven i'm sorry 72 percent since january

00:37:13.460 seventy two percent it's gone up a dollar

00:37:22.180 energy is being slaughtered by this administration and believe me they will not care

00:37:30.020 if gasoline is eight dollars a gallon they will not care because it will force you into a new green car

00:37:39.060 i've talked about this before i don't think people understand do your homework the gasoline engine is

00:37:45.300 over this year is the last year for models to have pure gas engines it's all going electric

00:37:53.940 electric by 2030 that's out so what are you going to replace it with we can't build any new nuclear power

00:38:02.820 plants we can't have any new coal plants we're really left with solar and wind who controls all of that

00:38:14.020 that as i laid out in my program last night that's china

00:38:21.700 so you don't have cheap abundant energy in fact you're going to have rolling blackouts mark my words

00:38:26.580 massive massive massive massive problems with energy let me hit just a couple let me hit a couple of

00:38:36.660 things that you should do on energy right now if you were building a house or remodeling a house

00:38:43.860 double up on the insulation do everything you can get your get your houses you know weather strip do all

00:38:53.060 of that now before there's a rush on all of that stuff and the price goes up because believe me when

00:39:01.780 i tell you you are going to be you are going to be paying extra if you don't do those things they're

00:39:09.860 going to make home ownership extraordinarily different difficult and it's all going to be based on going

00:39:16.100 green so make your house as efficient as you can right now when it comes to energy you better have

00:39:26.100 some sort of a generator now you can go out and get a generator a diesel generator but diesel remember

00:39:33.620 is going to get harder and harder to come by the only other option that i know of is natural gas that's

00:39:39.460 going to be harder to come by but it's cleaner than diesel or gas and you know maybe you already have

00:39:46.340 natural gas but find a generator and if you can afford one one that will run your house because you're

00:39:53.780 going to in the future have rolling blackouts when it comes to your business because the next thing

00:40:05.300 that was on my chart was cheap abundant energy that was number one there five number two is the american

00:40:12.420 workforce number three was abundant land and farming number four is a strong dollar number five is a stable

00:40:21.540 government that's what made america great those five things but we don't have any of those five things

00:40:30.900 anymore cheap and abundant energy is going away look at the american workforce today you're killing your

00:40:37.380 entrepreneurs you're calling anybody that is paying taxes now a thief remember 61 of the people that

00:40:46.180 paid uh sorry 61 of the american public did not pay any federal income tax in 2020 or is it 2021

00:40:59.220 2020 2020 so no federal incomes at 61 now i would say well that's because of covid and everything else

00:41:06.820 but are they doing things to get people back to work to pay taxes the answer is no

00:41:12.420 and what are they doing the the 39 that did pay tax those are entrepreneurs to the billionaires

00:41:24.580 those people they're under attack their businesses are under attack unless you're a big home depot style

00:41:31.380 business if you're a local entrepreneur you have been under attack by this government

00:41:37.780 you to the point to where you can't even find workers now to help you so the workforce is being slowly

00:41:47.540 destroyed here's what you need to do if you have a business you need to begin local groups they did

00:42:00.900 this in california and that was the only reason why they could push back on some of these covid rules

00:42:06.180 is because they got into groups and they invited attorneys to be part of the group and it was just

00:42:11.300 a local it was i don't remember it was named after one of the streets we had we had them on once talking

00:42:17.620 about it but it's it was just a local group of people who are all businesses on one street

00:42:23.620 and they all started to push back and they got an attorney and they made headway they kept their

00:42:30.180 businesses alive you need to stand together right now you need to start to gather as a local group

00:42:41.140 right now the american workforce you just gotta go to work you have to go to work the more you depend

00:42:52.420 on the government the more they will have control over you get yourself untangled for them from the

00:42:59.060 government as much as you can i told you years ago spit yourself out of the system it's pretty

00:43:05.380 difficult to do but very obvious on where you are in the system
