The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Adam Curry & Rob Eno ｜ 3⧸11⧸22

00:00:00.000 Oh, hello, you sick freak. 1.00

00:00:02.100 It was a great Friday show. 0.99

00:00:03.860 Kind of went off the rails towards the end as we were talking about preparing.

00:00:10.140 Stu doesn't have a hat and I'm trying to get an x-ray machine.

00:00:14.100 We're totally sane.

00:00:15.060 Both of us.

00:00:17.740 It's going to work out well.

00:00:18.840 You might want to be somewhere in the middle.

00:00:21.000 Yeah, I'm just saying.

00:00:22.880 Today's program is fantastic.

00:00:26.240 Adam Curry is on with us.

00:00:27.860 Bill O'Reilly.

00:00:29.220 Michael Malice.

00:00:29.820 Michael Malice is on and we talk about the biggest stories of the week.

00:00:34.960 Adam and I both agree.

00:00:36.140 And I think Michael, did Michael agree with this as well?

00:00:38.960 The biggest stories, the biggest story of the week is the digital currency story that you may not have even heard.

00:00:45.800 Make sure you're listening.

00:00:46.840 Oh, and there's some help if you happen to live in Idaho.

00:00:51.140 There's, I'd like your help on something.

00:00:53.660 You'll hear about it in today's podcast.

00:00:55.820 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:07.240 I have in my hands, the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry made up board members, board members from companies like Chobani, the, you know, the yogurt people and Wells Fargo Bank and bear and Monsanto.

00:01:32.240 And Cliff Bar, select health, Union Pacific Railroad.

00:01:38.240 Oh my gosh, all of these people, all of the Facebook, Facebook is on this.

00:01:46.000 What am I going to do?

00:01:48.680 They're saying in this official release that I am a conspiracy theorist because of what I tell you about ESG.

00:01:57.760 Wow.

00:02:01.000 I'm sensing some sort of risk here, Stu, some sort of, boy, it's, it's.

00:02:10.280 Well, as you know, Glenn, ESG is just a risk management tool.

00:02:13.140 That's what they say.

00:02:14.020 Oh, really?

00:02:14.520 Yeah, that's what they say.

00:02:15.440 We'll, we'll get into that a little later.

00:02:17.580 Michael Malice is on with us now.

00:02:19.500 Hi, Michael.

00:02:19.980 How are you?

00:02:21.140 I mean, is it a theory if it's demonstrable and open?

00:02:26.180 No, wait, wait, wait, it is, it is not.

00:02:29.500 They say, um, uh, it's laughable.

00:02:35.660 They said, it's a, uh, the given legislatures, legislators who have heard me talk about ESG and believe in, believe it.

00:02:44.660 It's a farcical conspiracy theory from which legislation will be crafted.

00:02:50.480 It's easy to dismiss due to its lack of basis in reality, but the problems, any kind of legislation against it will create for business is real.

00:03:02.300 Wow.

00:03:02.980 But I, I mean, it's, it's just shocking how brazen the misinformation is because at the very least it's based in reality, but wrong, right?

00:03:13.000 You're referring to something which is policy where there's websites about it, where people talk about it.

00:03:19.280 So to say it's not based in reality is in and of itself a lie.

00:03:23.100 Second of all, to claim that there aren't different organizations who are coordinating to further a specific agenda is in and of itself farcical.

00:03:33.840 The fact that all these different Chobani is working with Facebook, it's, it's only a conspiracy, but you don't like it. 1.00

00:03:41.520 Exactly right.

00:03:43.160 Exactly right.

00:03:44.320 What does the yoga company have to do with, you know, putting up baby pics and, you know, photos of your dog other than they have an agenda, corporate agenda that they want to further.

00:03:56.300 It is, it's remarkable, um, how this is being, uh, how this is being squashed when you can see what is happening in Russia, Russia, this, by the way, uh, president Biden, uh, just said, we're going to hit pipe, uh, uh, Putin even harder.

00:04:17.360 We have revoked our, uh, most favored nation status.

00:04:21.520 And apparently we're not the only country that is doing that now, um, that's a harder punch.

00:04:27.240 Um, but when you, when you have McDonald's saying, you know, uh, we just thought there might be a reputational risk.

00:04:34.100 Uh, that's why we're closing all our restaurants.

00:04:36.000 When they said, we're not closing all of our restaurants, you see ESG and how it works.

00:04:42.500 I mean, it's just, it is collusion, but it is also pressure from all of the banks and all of the other players.

00:04:50.680 You play ball or we'll shut you down.

00:04:54.300 Glenn, this is what's, what's really amazing.

00:04:56.420 And this is kudos to you, because if this was, let's suppose 10 years ago, they wouldn't have to address it.

00:05:03.600 And 10 years ago, you would have been reacting maybe after the fact, the fact that you can get ahead of this issue that you see, and plenty of other people see the tactics that are being used to control, manipulate, and preemptively nip it in the bud.

00:05:18.720 And this is something that they can't handle.

00:05:21.400 And that really upsets them.

00:05:23.300 And this is something that curdles their yogurt.

00:05:26.600 Because if they look at inflation is another great example, right?

00:05:30.800 It used to be, it's not really happening.

00:05:33.700 Oh, it's happening, but it's not a big deal.

00:05:36.160 Well, it is happening, but it's a good thing.

00:05:38.360 Stephen Colbert, who's a televangelist for progressivism, had his monologue saying, hey, sure, I'm paying more for gas, but that's the price I pay to be a patriot to kind of support Ukraine.

00:05:50.760 It's like, you don't care about the problems of poor people in the slightest, and you're telling them that their suffering is virtuous and moral.

00:05:59.600 Now, in many cases, sure, you have to make sacrifices for your kid, for your family, for your country.

00:06:04.180 But you, Stephen Colbert, don't get to tell me what sacrifices I need to make.

00:06:10.520 Exactly right.

00:06:11.160 And inflation, which everyone uses currency, inflation is a sacrifice that literally everyone has to deal with, and it hurts the poorest the most.

00:06:20.200 If Glenn Beck loses 10% of his money, you're still going to be okay.

00:06:23.780 If I'm living hand-to-mouth, and I'm losing 10% of my money, that's food on the table.

00:06:28.880 No, that's a roof over your head.

00:06:30.920 That's the difference between living under a bridge and just barely holding it together.

00:06:36.220 I mean, it's obscene what is happening, and it is hurting.

00:06:41.300 You're exactly right.

00:06:42.380 The weakest financially among us, that's who's really paying this high, high price for everything that is going on right now.

00:06:52.180 Everything that is going on.

00:06:53.540 Michael, did you see the digital currency executive order?

00:07:01.720 Yeah, I've heard.

00:07:02.740 I mean, I've been involved with the whole crypto space, being an anarchist, for many years now.

00:07:07.220 A lot of people saw this coming down the pipe.

00:07:09.500 Right.

00:07:10.340 It's not a surprise.

00:07:11.600 What were your thoughts about it, Glenn?

00:07:13.380 Mine was that it was very, first of all, it was hysterical that we just don't have the energy for cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.

00:07:21.120 It's just too much energy to verify everything.

00:07:24.900 We needed a centralized, one computer with a password.

00:07:28.620 Literally one computer with a password.

00:07:32.100 So they're using energy now as one of the reasons why they have to have it.

00:07:38.060 But the fact that you and I both know about the Hamilton Project, we've read these white papers at treasury.gov for a couple of years they've been out.

00:07:51.120 And now they're saying, hey, we've got to look into this and study it.

00:07:56.800 No, they've already studied it.

00:07:58.340 This is just as tilling the ground.

00:08:01.020 And I think that they have to move before the Republicans win, you know, or at least seeded.

00:08:08.720 Well, I think it might be a little too late for them because I think what a lot of people saw, if you saw the Canadian trucker convoy, banks just seized assets without so much of an explanation.

00:08:19.880 If you see what's going on with Russia, if you're a Russian citizen, there's lots of things you can't do right now.

00:08:25.540 You can't use Google Play and other such apps.

00:08:28.060 And they're seizing bank accounts there as well.

00:08:30.960 So that is giving people an incentive, correctly or incorrectly, to look elsewhere to keep their money secure.

00:08:38.240 And crypto, by design, is meant to be outside of the reach of any individual government.

00:08:43.960 And if your money is out of their reach, they're really disempowered.

00:08:48.020 And that's a real big problem for them.

00:08:50.280 So they have no choice but to act.

00:08:51.780 But in my opinion, thankfully, I think that the technology is moving faster than the legislature can.

00:08:59.360 And that is going to be a mechanism for freedom for people of the world in the near future.

00:09:04.900 It's kind of like Uber.

00:09:06.900 So in many different cities, Uber, rather than being legal, just launched the app, got everyone used to it.

00:09:13.060 And by the time the legislature got around to it, people were like, hey, you can't take Uber away.

00:09:17.060 So crypto's adaptation is a very good mechanism towards taking away the power of the Federal Reserve, which I'm sure you share my absolute contempt for.

00:09:26.800 I do.

00:09:27.340 The problem is, though, is I think they're going to tie this to, because a key word in that executive order was, stabilization, economic stabilization.

00:09:39.160 They need the Fed coin to provide economic stabilization.

00:09:42.780 Well, that's true, because you're already operating on modern monetary theory, the first part.

00:09:47.860 The second part is you have to control how that money is spent at the lowest level.

00:09:52.800 Otherwise, you'll never control inflation.

00:09:54.440 The White House, after denying that inflation was even real or that inflation was, I mean, two days ago, Jen Psaki said, no, inflation is going down if you look at the month a month.

00:10:04.700 No, no, Jen, not true.

00:10:06.340 But now they're saying, yeah, you should prepare.

00:10:12.040 Much higher inflation is coming.

00:10:14.360 I think they're going to use that.

00:10:19.320 Are you there?

00:10:20.160 Yeah, I'm just saying inflation.

00:10:22.300 You can't talk about stabilization of currency at the same time inflation is happening.

00:10:27.740 Inflation means an unstable currency.

00:10:29.720 It means a currency that is losing value.

00:10:31.620 And it means that you can't plan financially for the future, because let's suppose I have a ruler, right?

00:10:36.300 If a ruler is 12 inches today and 16 inches tomorrow and 10 inches the day after that, I can't build anything.

00:10:43.240 Money is the same thing.

00:10:44.380 That dollar is supposed to be a standard of value.

00:10:46.720 If that standard of value is collapsing, I can't make these kind of long-term plans.

00:10:51.860 So this is just a lie to claim that it's for stabilization.

00:10:55.400 When they say stabilization, they mean control.

00:10:58.040 And it's kind of scary how much of the verbiage is straight out of Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged, because they use words in the exact opposite of what they mean.

00:11:07.420 And they'll use whatever word they need in order to further their sense of power control.

00:11:12.000 And Glenn, I got to tell you, it really seems to me like they're losing control of the megaphone and of many other things.

00:11:19.660 And they're freaking out, and they don't know what to do about it.

00:11:22.460 Well, usually what dictators do is start hammering. 0.99

00:11:28.740 Usually dictators just shut everything down.

00:11:31.340 When they feel they're losing it, they just start shutting things down.

00:11:36.180 And I just, I fear, I don't fear, I feel that's where they're going.

00:11:45.700 And that will put a big hitch in our get-along.

00:11:52.240 How's that for Texas?

00:11:53.600 They spent two years shutting literally everything down.

00:11:56.280 Yeah.

00:11:56.700 And now they're going the other direction.

00:11:58.320 So I agree with you that their impetus and their M.O. historically has been to shut things down.

00:12:05.040 But politically and culturally, things are going the opposite direction.

00:12:08.940 So I think they don't know what to do.

00:12:11.700 And I don't think this president is, even if you love him, you can't regard him as a visionary or innovative thinker.

00:12:18.240 He's a party hack.

00:12:19.340 He's been a party hack since the 70s.

00:12:21.460 So you can't look to him to think of new ways of governing.

00:12:25.320 That's not, the whole point was, he was supposed to be returned to normalcy, meaning he's old school.

00:12:30.500 Old school's not going to work in 2020.

00:12:32.340 Yeah.

00:12:32.700 But that's why we have, you know, that new, young, up-and-comer Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:12:38.540 You know, she's... 1.00

00:12:40.320 I love her so much.

00:12:43.420 Oh, my gosh.

00:12:44.080 I love her so much.

00:12:45.080 Gosh.

00:12:46.280 She's going to be the greatest president we've ever had for comedic purposes. 1.00

00:12:50.000 It is going to be absolutely beautiful to watch hers.

00:12:53.440 It's going to be like Veep, for those of you who watch that show.

00:12:55.800 Oh, it is.

00:12:56.880 It's exactly the same thing.

00:12:57.820 It is.

00:12:58.540 It is.

00:12:59.540 Michael, thank you so much.

00:13:01.300 Always a pleasure, guys.

00:13:02.200 You bet.

00:13:03.860 Anarchist, Michael Malice.

00:13:08.720 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

00:13:12.280 Adam Curry, a guy who I used to think was the coolest guy on television and MTV VJ for years,

00:13:27.120 and then is the guy really responsible for podcasting.

00:13:32.100 I mean, he worked with Steve Jobs to get podcasts onto the Apple iPod at the very, very beginning.

00:13:41.000 He is wicked, wicked smart and has been following things like ESG and the Great Reset for a while.

00:13:52.260 We welcome Mr. Adam Curry.

00:13:54.060 How are you, Adam?

00:13:54.920 Hey, Glenn.

00:13:55.600 Good to see you, my brother.

00:13:56.980 Good to see you.

00:13:58.620 You know, we haven't we didn't meet until a couple of weeks ago, and I can't believe that friends.

00:14:04.000 Friends, so we have to have mutual friends, haven't put us together earlier because we think so much alike.

00:14:12.100 And I think, as I told you on your podcast, not only do we think alike, but we've had similar paths.

00:14:19.680 But we're also, I think, more or less the same age.

00:14:22.560 After this wonderful visit I had with you, you can see I want to be like you so much.

00:14:26.640 I bought one of those microphones that you have.

00:14:28.680 I'm like, wow, I sounded really good on Glenn's show.

00:14:31.280 Now I need a little beard going.

00:14:33.380 Yeah, just a little goatee in here.

00:14:34.980 You look a little like Colonel Sanders and you're all set.

00:14:37.760 I want to read something to you, Adam, and just get your thoughts on it.

00:14:42.820 We're working with 20 different states right now on legislation, anti-ESG legislation,

00:14:47.980 and having the treasuries divest themselves of places like BlackRock, okay, that are clearly working against the interests of the everyday people.

00:14:59.840 So this is a statement from the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry.

00:15:05.700 And I want to read this to you and get your thoughts.

00:15:09.120 Some in the Idaho legislature are opposed to consider legislation to deal with ESG, or Environment, Social, and Governance.

00:15:16.820 ESG, a risk management system, is being labeled as the latest threat to individual rights.

00:15:23.940 While as preposterous as this sounds, folks like Glenn Beck have given legislators a farcical conspiracy theory from which legislation is being crafted.

00:15:35.620 While it's easy to dismiss due to its lack of basis in reality, the problems it creates for businesses are real.

00:15:43.580 Risk management for all companies, small and large, private, or publicly traded, have common threads in determining asset risks from environmental factors such as climate change or local weather patterns.

00:15:56.940 Additional risks are present in employment and management relationships and community acceptance of the business.

00:16:03.400 Finally, the governance of all companies are critical considerations when it comes to risk management for investors.

00:16:09.440 Business is, by definition, based on a risk-reward system.

00:16:12.720 Legislative efforts to manage how risk inputs are evaluated are unwelcome and foundationally dangerous to free enterprise.

00:16:23.620 These people are actually using that.

00:16:25.960 The Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry believes and defends that if Idaho wants to retain the moniker of the least regulated state in the nation,

00:16:37.300 there is no role for government to dictate how business or business and their investors will evaluate the importance to each company,

00:16:45.360 whether it is through formal systems labeled as ESG or otherwise.

00:16:49.640 Listen to this.

00:16:50.420 The tragic reality of the new world is one where talking heads drive policy to stir the masses by creating non-existent problems

00:17:03.200 and then solving the problem with massive overreaches into the private sector.

00:17:09.740 Businesses cannot stand by and allow this to happen, and we will firmly defend our members' ability to run their own companies in the way that best suits them as a private and independent entity.

00:17:23.000 Well, first of all, congratulations.

00:17:26.140 You are now an official conspiracy theorist.

00:17:28.700 Oh, yeah.

00:17:29.400 This is good news.

00:17:30.680 Yeah.

00:17:31.020 Yeah.

00:17:31.460 Yeah.

00:17:31.680 That's why I always call myself the crackpot.

00:17:33.680 I figure that's much easier.

00:17:34.900 You know, they don't have to kill me.

00:17:36.060 Well, unfortunately, and so much happened in such a fast amount of time since we last saw each other, and a lot of it's coming much closer.

00:17:46.300 I think we're seeing the total capture.

00:17:48.220 The capture is more or less complete.

00:17:50.340 And with that, I mean, if we go back and just talk specifically about what ESG is, and it's great hearing it now.

00:17:56.740 A lot of people are talking about it.

00:17:58.160 They're not quite sure exactly what it means.

00:17:59.620 But, again, it stands for Environmental Social Governance, and there's a measuring standard that goes along with this, which was created literally by the bankers, including BlackRock, with a separate foundation, to determine how environmentally conscious, socially conscious, and governance conscious a corporation is.

00:18:22.400 And we're talking mainly about publicly listed companies.

00:18:24.980 And hang on just a second.

00:18:26.360 To give you an idea, there's no individual choice on anything.

00:18:29.620 I've talked to people in the oil industry this week, and they have said, Glenn, we can't, the leases and everything, yeah, we need that.

00:18:37.620 We can't get a dime from the banks.

00:18:41.720 So that's ESG.

00:18:43.500 The banks say, no, those oil rigs, that's not potential risk.

00:18:47.760 Not just the banks.

00:18:48.760 It's much worse than that.

00:18:50.020 It's the retirement funds, pension funds, insurance companies.

00:18:54.020 And they have, you know, for their own clients, they have certain things they can and cannot invest in.

00:19:00.740 And this ESG has become this fictitious score.

00:19:04.980 And if I don't have a Merrill Lynch retirement account, but I understand that people who do are already seeing the ESG score of their portfolio, of the companies that they have in their portfolio.

00:19:18.700 And so we've seen a lot of this taking place over the past probably five years is when it really started to accelerate.

00:19:27.720 So environmental, that's all Green New Deal.

00:19:29.740 And holy crap, we missed, we totally weren't paying attention, and they passed a trillion and a half dollars, of which half is going into that kind of stuff.

00:19:40.500 The latest bill that just passed that. 0.98

00:19:43.220 The latest one, yeah, the omnibus bill.

00:19:44.620 Yeah, the omnibus bill, yeah.

00:19:45.780 These things are horrible.

00:19:46.500 These things are horrible when you look in at all the money, and that's all, I'm sure the Federal Reserve is very happy.

00:19:53.120 Oh, yes, we've got to push some money out.

00:19:55.480 Yeah, that's not going to help inflation, but the social part we've been watching, really, the acceleration with Black Lives Matter.

00:20:04.320 You saw every corporation giving away tens of millions of dollars, or donating tens of millions of dollars to Black Lives Matter, Inc., which, by the way, has been completely dissolved.

00:20:15.300 There's no one around who runs it.

00:20:17.580 Can't find the money.

00:20:19.560 Where's the money?

00:20:20.600 There's a lot of groups looking for money.

00:20:22.420 Say, hey, we were all there.

00:20:23.720 The money went through you.

00:20:24.600 Where did it go?

00:20:25.480 So, that's also what's, and then we have the governance part, which is equity.

00:20:31.820 So, do we have the right amount of Black and Brown people in the organization? 1.00

00:20:35.660 Do we have the right amount of female to male to transgender to whatever? 0.99

00:20:39.860 It all has to be equitable and equal, and equity is really the key term.

00:20:45.180 But the social governance capture has come closer to the environmental with the war, the war, I'll just say it, in Ukraine.

00:20:54.600 I mean, first of all, COVID is yesterday's news.

00:20:57.560 We're still in that headspace where we're freaked out about stuff.

00:21:03.360 And during lockdowns, et cetera, the thing that everybody could kind of glom onto, which created this social cohesion that we all, oh, my goodness, there's, we can get out of this, was masking, social distancing, and eventually proof of vaccination, and et cetera, et cetera.

00:21:19.620 So, now we have, we're still kind of reeling from COVID, and, you know, things are stopping, but, you know, there's not even any news about it.

00:21:26.760 Please pay no attention to the Pfizer documents that came out.

00:21:29.560 And we have tremendous inflation, uncertainty in the world.

00:21:35.260 War is always scary.

00:21:37.100 And what have we all glommed on to?

00:21:39.400 Thanks to the corporations who led the way, the huge divestiture in starting with Russian oil, but then tech companies.

00:21:45.680 Everyone just, I mean, I'm surprised I didn't wake up this morning and go to Google Maps and not be able to find Russia.

00:21:51.660 I mean, they've canceled.

00:21:53.000 And we're all jumping on board, and this is wrong.

00:21:56.760 This is fundamentally, at a human level, wrong.

00:22:00.200 It's wrong also because despite what people say, that this is free market, that it's individual, you know, individuals get to choose their own way, that is not true.

00:22:11.960 It's not the case.

00:22:12.300 It's not the case.

00:22:13.040 It is the exact opposite.

00:22:15.320 Wall Street is driving this.

00:22:16.920 Wall Street is pushing.

00:22:17.940 They're saying, you cannot be in Russian stocks or Russian assets or commodities.

00:22:24.900 You've got to get out of it.

00:22:27.340 And because of this capture that's taken place with the large corporations who are advertising and telling everybody how great it is, I mean, the things that are happening.

00:22:36.840 This morning, I got an email from Universal Audio.

00:22:39.540 They make audio equipment that I use.

00:22:41.400 Well, this is so horrible what's going on.

00:22:43.560 We cut off all Russian customers. 1.00

00:22:45.360 They can't even access our IP addresses.

00:22:47.940 I'm like, why are you doing that?

00:22:49.240 Isn't creativity cross boundaries?

00:22:51.320 Isn't that for all people of the world?

00:22:54.320 Same with, I'm a ham, as in ham radio operator.

00:22:58.260 There's a database online called qrz.com, qrz.com, and you can find all the call signs in there, and you can look stuff up.

00:23:06.960 These guys, they took out all the Russian call signs overnight.

00:23:10.860 This is insanity.

00:23:13.180 It is a psychological escape, and we're following straight into demise with what is happening.

00:23:24.640 I said earlier today, if they can do this to Vladimir Putin, who willy-nilly just throws people out of windows and gets away with it, has billions of dollars and a country with a ton of nukes.

00:23:40.800 If they can do this, if they can do this to him, what the hell do you think they'll think about doing something to you when you disagree?

00:23:50.260 I mean—

00:23:50.620 Well, and it's the cancellation that is the scary part.

00:23:53.680 Because it's financial canceling, and they did it to Canadian truckers.

00:24:00.660 I mean, in the omnibus bill, I don't know the exact—I think it was $100 billion the IRS is going to receive.

00:24:08.500 Yes.

00:24:09.420 And you know who they're not going to go after?

00:24:11.600 Goldman Sachs.

00:24:12.820 Yeah.

00:24:12.980 They're not going to go after BlackRock.

00:24:14.680 They're going to go after small people, middle class people. 0.98

00:24:18.300 Probably people who have a low ESG score, probably parents who are standing up in their school board meetings and saying, this is wrong.

00:24:28.660 Those people are going to be targeted.

00:24:30.880 Yes.

00:24:31.140 And you were talking to Michael Malice earlier, another fine Texas resident.

00:24:35.900 And, you know, he's absolutely right with the direction we're headed with this announcement.

00:24:44.960 Well, it's just another, let's go study stuff and come back in six months.

00:24:48.980 But the cryptocurrency executive order—

00:24:51.800 Biggest story of the week.

00:24:53.320 I think that's the biggest story of the week.

00:24:56.040 Because once the central bank digital coin comes in—and you can find online videos of the director of the Bank of International Settlements talking about this.

00:25:05.040 Again, the Canadian—

00:25:05.960 Janet Yellen.

00:25:06.140 It's open.

00:25:07.140 It's open.

00:25:07.940 They're very open about it.

00:25:09.380 That your money will have expiration.

00:25:13.100 If they give you money, you might not be able to use it after a certain period.

00:25:18.980 Literally, your dollars could be earmarked.

00:25:21.480 And this can be tracked all the way through your spending habit.

00:25:24.120 And when it pops up somewhere that you want to—I mean, I can imagine with the environmental part at a certain point, sorry, you can't buy gas today.

00:25:32.540 You've surpassed your credits.

00:25:33.780 And I know this sounds like, ah, but China is doing this.

00:25:38.460 And there's one other thing I want to say about it.

00:25:39.900 Russia started doing it, too.

00:25:42.080 Russia's now doing it. 0.78

00:25:43.720 Yeah.

00:25:44.440 Well, of course, it's a globalist movement.

00:25:47.340 Ultimately, the idea is to get us all people enslaved underneath what they're doing.

00:25:53.560 But the way I see it is it's a perfect two-pronged strategy.

00:25:59.540 Now, you can inflate oil prices.

00:26:04.140 You can make energy very expensive through legislation, executive orders, et cetera.

00:26:09.340 I truly believe that the idea—and this is what you're hearing our administration saying.

00:26:14.140 Don't worry.

00:26:14.920 We're going to put 500,000 charging stations in.

00:26:17.600 Don't worry.

00:26:18.080 Oil won't be a problem once you buy an electric vehicle.

00:26:20.980 That's what they want everybody to do.

00:26:22.420 It's obvious.

00:26:22.940 And they will push us in that direction.

00:26:25.800 It will become unaffordable to commute to work.

00:26:29.180 A whole section of people, just like COVID, will have no problem working from home.

00:26:33.720 And it will be the—it's the physicals versus the virtuals, even though you and I, by definition, are kind of virtuals.

00:26:39.360 The physicals still have to go to work.

00:26:41.160 They have $5, $6 a gallon gas.

00:26:44.740 It's going to break that system.

00:26:47.240 Go home.

00:26:47.880 You can't work.

00:26:48.880 We'll send you some digital dollars.

00:26:50.320 Now, it's not tomorrow, but it's coming.

00:26:53.480 It's coming, I think, sooner, maybe longer than we would expect, but sooner than we hope.

00:27:01.040 You know, in that executive order that Biden put out this week, it says we have six months to decide and come up with a plan, and we're going to consult everyone.

00:27:11.540 Well, it talked about all its stakeholders, other countries, businesses around the world, labor unions, but it didn't say anything about the American people or Congress.

00:27:23.920 Do you know that process?

00:27:25.940 Is it all through the Federal Reserve they get to choose?

00:27:28.500 Well, we have to go back to the Constitution, who's really allowed or has the power to create money, and that is certainly not a commercial bank.

00:27:39.780 But that's—you know, the Federal Reserve Act changed that, so that would be something that we would have to go back to.

00:27:44.640 But I think that what is good for people to understand, and it's—and I came to my own understanding when I talk to banker friends or people in politics, you even see it now when they talk about raising the debt limit.

00:27:58.600 And there's—and, you know, there's always a polarizing issue, like, oh, my goodness, you know, oh, the Republic is going to shut down this, the Democrats are going to shut down the government.

00:28:07.140 But what is really going on is—and they're always surprised, like, well, you can't not raise the debt limit.

00:28:13.680 That's un-American. 0.81

00:28:14.560 I mean, you will literally hear people say that.

00:28:16.500 That's un-American because the way our system works, which the financial system is—and this is why the Federal Reserve, who does create our money through debt, says, you know, we like to keep inflation at 2% a year.

00:28:30.760 That's not 2% what you're paying extra in gas or what you're paying for household goods or this consumer price index they've made up and changed throughout the years.

00:28:39.960 That's how much money they need to print every single year to create in order for the system to work.

00:28:47.140 And that's why, you know, a Toyota truck in the 70s cost $5,000.

00:28:52.060 Now it starts at $50,000.

00:28:53.880 That is the result of money printing throughout the decades.

00:28:58.280 And what's crazy is you saw this in real time recently.

00:29:02.660 They said in 2008, the price of gas was—what was it?

00:29:08.180 $341,000.

00:29:10.080 But—or what was the price of gas?

00:29:12.640 It was $411,000.

00:29:13.560 $411,000.

00:29:14.600 Yeah.

00:29:14.840 And now today, in today's dollars, they say due to inflation, that would be like $525,000.

00:29:20.740 You're like, wait, that was 12 years ago.

00:29:23.480 What are you talking about?

00:29:25.040 You know, it's not like 1950 to today.

00:29:28.280 Well, so now the gig is up because throughout the financial crisis of 2008, 2009, when they created a whole lot of money, then we had a similar issue in the liquidity, i.e. banks weren't trusting each other to even lend to each other.

00:29:44.820 So there's one or two weak sisters in the mix, which is still in there. 1.00

00:29:47.900 We don't know where.

00:29:48.560 Now we have another trillion and a half dollars going in.

00:29:52.280 So they're solving these problems kind of as they go along.

00:29:55.200 But the fix is the central bank digital currency because then you don't have to create more money.

00:30:02.380 You can destroy money, and you can destroy it directly from people by taking off minute amounts of their bank account after the decimal in just forever.

00:30:14.200 Adam Curry, great to talk to you.

00:30:15.500 Hope to talk to you again soon.

00:30:16.920 Thank you very much, Adam Curry.

00:30:19.060 You can find his podcast.

00:30:20.580 It's tremendous.

00:30:21.460 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:30:37.580 So there is a Washington Post wrote a story.

00:30:41.460 Why we obsess over the details of a nuclear apocalypse.

00:30:44.800 I don't, I mean, I don't think we need a story on that.

00:30:49.220 I think, you know, being vaporized is probably why we obsess over it.

00:30:54.080 And I don't know about anybody else, but I haven't obsessed over it since I was a kid.

00:31:00.640 You know, now to not have to worry about it for 30, 40 years.

00:31:05.400 And then suddenly like, hey, by the way, they might use nukes.

00:31:10.040 That's kind of a problem, seeing that it's the old foe.

00:31:14.040 That actually has all those old nukes and some new ones, too.

00:31:18.700 Kind of a bad thing.

00:31:20.340 So we were talking about it in the office.

00:31:23.040 And Rob, you know, who is our Blaze TV media critic, started talking to us about the things that we have to do.

00:31:30.240 And so I thought I would bring him in today.

00:31:32.400 I didn't realize he was going to wear a hazmat suit.

00:31:35.440 But but you're looking good, Rob.

00:31:37.960 Well, thank you.

00:31:38.500 I'm going to take off the mask.

00:31:39.580 You are the only person that could get me to wear a mask.

00:31:41.620 Really?

00:31:42.200 Yeah.

00:31:42.520 Yeah.

00:31:42.680 The mask, of course, is I don't know if you saw, but the Department of Homeland Security

00:31:47.440 said that after the nuclear blast hits and after you've used your your school desk.

00:31:52.760 Yeah.

00:31:53.160 That you have to get under to get under to protect yourself. 0.71

00:31:55.820 Which when I was about six, I knew that was ridiculous. 0.72

00:32:00.440 Right. 0.63

00:32:00.780 Yeah.

00:32:01.100 We saw the film of how everything is vaporized.

00:32:04.000 With the turtle.

00:32:04.440 Yeah.

00:32:04.740 And then they and then they said with the turtle, get under the desk.

00:32:08.300 And I remember being probably six going, this is not going to protect me from what I just

00:32:14.420 saw.

00:32:15.960 I will say, too, I'm happy you took the mask off because it's I don't picture you that

00:32:19.860 way.

00:32:20.020 But I also say any white guy wearing a white hood, also not a good. 0.51

00:32:23.760 Yeah, not a good. 0.78

00:32:24.580 Yeah.

00:32:24.680 So I'm glad you took that one off, too.

00:32:26.740 All right.

00:32:26.960 So I was doing my Clayton Bigsby impersonation.

00:32:30.500 OK, so they said you're supposed to, you know, and then you're supposed to wash your clothes

00:32:34.920 or wash yourself.

00:32:36.460 And then apparently after you get the radiation off, you're supposed to go in the fallout.

00:32:41.080 Remember fallout shelters?

00:32:42.060 Oh, yeah.

00:32:42.360 My grammar school had a fallout shelter with the number of people that could be in the 1.00

00:32:46.580 building.

00:32:46.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:32:47.180 Like this used to be something I think our millennial and Gen Z listeners don't remember

00:32:52.020 this.

00:32:52.240 My senior essay in high school for the American government class or whatever it was, was on

00:32:59.180 our fallout shelter because one end of it ended in ventilation right outside.

00:33:06.320 And it was like, that's really not how it's supposed to work.

00:33:09.920 But anyway.

00:33:11.000 So then to protect everybody in there, you're supposed to do the six foot distancing and

00:33:16.400 wear a mask so that they don't get COVID.

00:33:18.420 We've had a nuclear bomb, but that's what we're supposed to do.

00:33:20.880 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:33:21.680 But there's some other, I mean, this is obviously joking, but there's some other things that

00:33:25.680 people can do.

00:33:26.200 I don't know if you saw the study a couple of weeks ago, but a vast majority of millennials

00:33:29.860 and Gen Zs couldn't use a paper map to save their life.

00:33:34.340 I think this is a real problem.

00:33:36.880 Right.

00:33:37.160 You know, things go down, just GPS for any reason.

00:33:40.900 GPS goes down.

00:33:42.060 Nobody knows how to get anywhere.

00:33:43.480 Right.

00:33:43.660 I mean, and it's heavily hackable, the GPS system.

00:33:46.660 And so say the map is?

00:33:47.760 No, no, no, no, the GPS system, not the map, but the GPS system is heavily hackable.

00:33:51.760 Yeah.

00:33:52.120 And the Russians have already said that they've got directed energy weapons that they've tested

00:33:57.240 on a satellite and shot it down to tell us that if we do something to them, they're going

00:34:01.200 to take out our GPS system first.

00:34:03.220 So all the millennials, they've got the phone and they think that they can, in Gen Zers, 0.99

00:34:07.420 they can go someplace.

00:34:08.600 Get yourself a map.

00:34:09.740 I don't know if you know, one of my hobbies is I'm trying to drive through every county in

00:34:12.700 the United States and I'm at about 75% of them.

00:34:15.500 You're not married, are you?

00:34:16.460 I'm not.

00:34:16.980 Which makes it easy.

00:34:17.980 It doesn't make it easy.

00:34:18.760 I was just, I mean, there's a few tip-offs.

00:34:20.760 There's a chicken and an egg situation going on there as well.

00:34:24.440 I have a big, I have the big Rand McNally Road Atlas that I buy every, every month, but

00:34:30.460 I just figured I'd bring in the small ones.

00:34:31.540 It's not for Texas.

00:34:32.500 I have to tell you, we got rid of ours.

00:34:34.260 When Tanya and I met 25 years ago, she used to be the navigator and she would read the

00:34:39.520 map and I would drive.

00:34:40.760 And we were so excited when GPS came out because it would end the arguments.

00:34:45.200 No, no, you missed the turn.

00:34:47.380 I told you it was right there.

00:34:48.580 All of that stuff went away, but we can read maps.

00:34:53.140 My kids don't even know anything about them.

00:34:56.980 Right.

00:34:57.380 And you need to learn how to read a map.

00:34:59.700 Yeah.

00:35:00.040 Get yourself a compass.

00:35:00.980 I know that it's going to flip when the magnetic flips.

00:35:03.700 I know that you've been wondering about that since you were a kid.

00:35:05.940 No, it's coming.

00:35:06.380 So, but, um, you know, get yourself a map, just know where the declination is for the,

00:35:10.680 uh, the, the magnetic North and use a map.

00:35:13.460 So that, that's, you know, one thing.

00:35:15.320 The other thing is, I mean, I bought iodine this week.

00:35:19.260 I don't know if you remember.

00:35:20.740 I do, but that's a little, I mean.

00:35:23.120 It's a little much.

00:35:23.920 Yeah.

00:35:24.040 It's a little much.

00:35:24.700 I might've bought it for the bit, but I did buy iodine.

00:35:26.740 All right.

00:35:27.260 But you know, in Europe that I think they sold out of iodine.

00:35:31.780 Right.

00:35:32.040 Uh, because you know, they're right there.

00:35:35.080 Right.

00:35:35.400 And what, and what iodine does is, um, apparently the radioactive iodine will go into your thyroid.

00:35:40.880 So if you have regular iodine in your thyroid, then the radioactive iodine can't go in and

00:35:46.220 that saves your system.

00:35:47.940 That's the, the science behind the iodine.

00:35:49.200 How much of that?

00:35:49.600 Do you just like take a swig of it?

00:35:50.700 I don't know.

00:35:51.520 You have to look online.

00:35:52.360 I am not Dr. Rob.

00:35:53.240 Well, if we have a...

00:35:54.220 I'm not Dr. Rob.

00:35:55.040 That's, that might be, that might be something you look up to because, uh, along with a map,

00:36:01.360 you may not have internet.

00:36:04.580 Right.

00:36:04.760 I'm just saying.

00:36:05.300 Yeah.

00:36:05.540 Print these things out to have them.

00:36:07.220 Then you should have a bug out bag.

00:36:08.780 Maybe not this one.

00:36:10.020 Okay.

00:36:10.500 Um, so for the bit.

00:36:11.560 And I needed a bug out bag.

00:36:12.680 This is the smallest bug out bag I've ever seen.

00:36:13.960 This is basically for a Smurf. 1.00

00:36:15.640 Yes, it is.

00:36:16.260 Um, I, I went online and I went to Amazon and I bought a bug out bag and I looked at the

00:36:20.160 bug out bag and it said it has 242 pieces in it.

00:36:22.620 So I assume that it would be somewhat big, um, because it looks like a backpack, a big

00:36:28.460 backpack, but a very, very small bag, but it actually has stuff that you can use.

00:36:32.860 Right.

00:36:33.080 It's got, um, you know, it's got a shovel.

00:36:36.320 If you were a Smurf and needed to dig a latrine pit, you know, there's a Smurf size shovel. 0.99

00:36:41.560 That's like a garden hole.

00:36:43.200 Yeah.

00:36:43.900 In the kit.

00:36:44.600 That's a garden hole.

00:36:45.180 I would get a bigger kit.

00:36:46.600 Yeah.

00:36:46.880 I'm just saying.

00:36:47.460 You're just saying.

00:36:48.480 Yeah.

00:36:48.660 This is the one.

00:36:49.220 I mean, unless you're, you know, like I come from big boned.

00:36:52.620 That's what, you know, everybody fat in my family used to say. 0.88

00:36:56.260 We're big boned people.

00:36:57.260 No, we're not.

00:36:57.720 We're fat. 0.62

00:36:58.560 This is for very small boned people.

00:37:00.840 So this is what I, why I thought it was going to be big.

00:37:03.320 It said it came with an ax.

00:37:05.380 Oh, wow.

00:37:06.060 So this is the ax.

00:37:06.780 What is that?

00:37:07.240 Like a dandelion ax?

00:37:08.320 Yeah.

00:37:08.660 I think you can cut down some dandelions with, but there are some things.

00:37:11.740 That's about two fingers, by the way.

00:37:13.420 The actual blade of the ax.

00:37:15.220 Yeah.

00:37:15.360 There are some things you can use.

00:37:16.540 I mean, there's.

00:37:17.880 Those are very good.

00:37:18.760 Space blankets.

00:37:18.780 These are actually very good to have in the car.

00:37:21.060 So this is actually going to go in my car.

00:37:22.400 This is if you're a caging any illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:37:24.840 Yes.

00:37:25.060 You're allowed to put the space blanket on.

00:37:26.820 Or if your car gets out or you want it.

00:37:28.540 Maybe it protects radiation.

00:37:29.940 I don't know.

00:37:30.260 I don't know.

00:37:31.320 I can't say it does.

00:37:32.500 Might want to look that up too before the internet goes.

00:37:34.460 Right.

00:37:34.740 You know.

00:37:35.040 But, you know, you've got these types of things.

00:37:37.120 So give me some fun.

00:37:38.440 This is how I know who's really prepared.

00:37:41.260 Do you have food storage?

00:37:42.440 I do.

00:37:43.060 You do.

00:37:43.920 How long?

00:37:46.020 About 30 days.

00:37:47.080 Not a lot of time.

00:37:47.700 Okay.

00:37:47.940 No, that's better than most.

00:37:49.380 Okay.

00:37:50.740 Do you have a go bag in your car or anything else?

00:37:53.780 This was the start of it.

00:37:54.960 Okay.

00:37:55.380 That was the start of it.

00:37:56.120 So it's a good start.

00:37:56.840 It's a good start.

00:37:57.400 You get a good one.

00:37:57.920 Good start.

00:37:59.680 Do you have a surgical kit?

00:38:03.180 This is where it separates the men and the boys.

00:38:05.860 This actually has string.

00:38:08.040 It doesn't have a full surgical kit.

00:38:09.820 But I could like jerry-ring it.

00:38:11.540 I could fish.

00:38:12.360 Yeah.

00:38:12.700 You know what's crazy is string.

00:38:16.280 You got a broken leg.

00:38:17.940 Give me that string. 0.99

00:38:20.260 But that brings up the, I mean, we were all of an age where we probably were all Boy Scouts

00:38:24.760 for a certain period of time.

00:38:26.440 That was part of what we did.

00:38:28.300 And I couldn't find it.

00:38:29.260 I've moved like three times in the past four years.

00:38:31.060 I couldn't find.

00:38:31.820 I have a 1972 Boy Scout field book, which is fantastic.

00:38:37.760 Not the handbook.

00:38:38.620 Yeah.

00:38:38.880 It's a field book.

00:38:39.860 And it's a survival manual.

00:38:41.120 It teaches you, you know, the other things like how to lash.

00:38:43.920 Like, I don't think many millennials or Gen Zs.

00:38:45.960 Somebody say to me, Stu, you've got to be like me.

00:38:49.460 Hey.

00:38:50.260 Hey.

00:38:50.760 Take on the lashing, will you?

00:38:51.980 Yeah.

00:38:52.800 I have no idea.

00:38:54.260 Is that whipping people? 0.94

00:38:55.480 I don't know what.

00:38:56.000 No, no.

00:38:56.460 Ten lashes we're making.

00:38:58.160 It's how to build structures with wood and small trees.

00:39:01.440 You know, like you take the things, like you look the bridge over the river Kwai.

00:39:04.880 Like the Boy Scouts taught you how to build that.

00:39:06.340 I don't want to live in that world.

00:39:07.420 You know, what's crazy is, you know, I have the, I was so proud.

00:39:10.560 I got the, the surgical kit and it, I mean, it has everything.

00:39:14.940 It has, I mean, you can remove an appendix or whatever, you know, have it, brought it

00:39:20.420 home, got the book, how to remove the appendix and things like that.

00:39:23.820 You know, I'm not coming to your house.

00:39:25.520 Yeah.

00:39:25.700 You know, it's just so you said, honey, who's going to do the surgery because I ain't doing

00:39:34.800 it on you.

00:39:35.480 And I certainly do not want you doing it on me.

00:39:38.720 And I'm like, well, I mean, but if we have to, she's like, let me die.

00:39:44.760 Let my appendix burst. 0.96

00:39:46.960 I don't want you with your grubby hands in my internal organs. 1.00

00:39:52.160 I think this is the appendix. 0.95

00:39:54.320 Why is there Cheeto dust in there?

00:39:56.580 I don't understand.

00:39:57.940 She died from the Cheeto infection.

00:40:04.720 I don't know.

00:40:05.660 I think this is, I feel like buying a surgical kit is how like the series Dexter starts.

00:40:10.580 Yeah.

00:40:10.740 Like, you know, it just, it doesn't end well.

00:40:13.000 Now the problem is, is I have all of this stuff.

00:40:16.960 If you, if we're in an emergency and somebody like, I have to have my appendix out, I'd have

00:40:20.980 no idea where it is.

00:40:22.940 Okay.

00:40:23.520 Kids, everybody into the garage, start going through those boxes.

00:40:26.660 I know we have one here someplace.

00:40:28.320 This happened in the documentary Spies Like Us, where they had to improvise an appendix

00:40:33.420 removal.

00:40:33.920 They were not able to do it either.

00:40:35.440 Well, I figure the first person will die of appendicitis.

00:40:39.260 It'll burst.

00:40:39.740 The second person will at least have the set.

00:40:43.080 We'll know where it is because we're like, that can't happen again.

00:40:46.440 Let's make sure we all remember where the set is.

00:40:50.140 Then that person will die because we have no idea what we're doing.

00:40:54.160 Right.

00:40:54.580 The third person will also die because the person who had just a little bit of experience

00:40:59.780 will be in so much trauma.

00:41:01.560 They won't be able to do it.

00:41:03.040 Right.

00:41:03.220 But by like person 85, there's a good chance you might survive.

00:41:08.640 Exactly right.

00:41:10.200 Rob, thank you so much for coming in.

00:41:12.420 Now you feel prepared.

00:41:14.000 Right now you feel prepared.

00:41:15.820 Na, na, na, na.
