00:01:15.400 Here's the podcast.

00:01:20.740 What the heck does that mean? What does that mean? Last night, if you watched Biden's speech

00:01:37.700 and you knew what you were looking for, it was a carefully crafted speech. In some regards,

00:01:45.060 a little schizophrenic. We are a nation that, if I can quote, has had the plague on America

00:01:58.660 of systematic racism, and yet we're the greatest country in the world. I mean, the speechwriter,

00:02:04.840 I heard that he went to his psychiatrist the other day and said, you know, I'm hearing voices,

00:02:10.640 and his psychiatrist said, you don't have a psychiatrist. So it's a little schizophrenic.

00:02:18.480 But it was only schizophrenic because they were saying the things that people want to hear and then

00:02:25.680 saying the things they have to say to be able to have a complete storyline in the end.

00:02:33.480 This is probably the most important speech a president has given, and it's the biggest warning

00:02:42.360 any progressive, Marxist, anyone who wants to thwart America has ever given.

00:02:49.020 I need you to pay attention to this speech today. If you want to be prepared for what's coming,

00:02:56.320 you have to pay attention to this speech, but in a different way. There are four things that he set up.

00:03:03.080 And I'll go through them. First, white supremacy is a plague, and it is the biggest danger. In fact, 0.99

00:03:11.820 he said white supremacists are the most lethal threat to America. How do you define a white supremacist? 0.99

00:03:22.340 Anyone who denies that there is some sort of, you know, white indoctrination and 0.64

00:03:30.480 you know, systematic racism? If you deny those things, you are a racist, a white supremacist. And so 0.99

00:03:40.800 that is a threat. Second thing, he's questioning whether our democracy works. He wants it to work.

00:03:49.360 He wants it to work. But he's not sure if it does. Third, China is the threat and the model, 0.99

00:04:00.100 and they are not waiting around. Four, we have to act now or our system doesn't work.

00:04:12.180 Now, let me go through this. First, if you're a white supremacist, you believe in the republic. You

00:04:19.940 believe in the system of merit that we should be judged not by our skin color, but by the content of

00:04:32.580 our character. You believe in the founding documents. You believe that the amendments are absolute.

00:04:39.720 Those rights are absolute. They come from God, not the government. That is going to be more and more

00:04:49.500 defined as a white supremacist. Now, when he said our democracy doesn't work, you have to understand what

00:04:59.340 he told the press before the speech. CNN reported, and I'm going to quote the president. CNN reported

00:05:09.700 that before the speech, President Biden got together with a few of the elite media and had a

00:05:19.120 conversation with them. This is so Woodrow Wilson. It's terrifying to me. You know, if you've listened

00:05:28.080 to me for any time, I hate Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson was a racist and a absolute danger to the 0.99

00:05:36.340 republic. He's the guy that really started this ball rolling. And it was the final move. The final 0.96

00:05:44.560 chess pieces are being put onto the table right now. So he met with the the trusted news sources,

00:05:52.560 and they do that so they can bring them in and so they can explain it to the dumb American people. 0.98

00:05:58.520 Now, here's what he said, according to CNN. And I quote, and I really believe because I've spoken with 0.98

00:06:06.300 over, I guess, 25, 30 heads of state, including Putin, including President Z. I had a two hour

00:06:14.800 conversation with President Z. And I've been convinced for a long time. Dot, dot, dot.

00:06:23.020 Look, I doubt whether most of you would agree with me, but I think we're going to look, they're going

00:06:31.020 to write about this point in history, not about any of us here, but about whether democracy can

00:06:37.040 function in the 21st century. What is he saying here? He's saying a lot. I've been convinced for a

00:06:44.320 lot, a long time. Convinced of what? He stops. He never finishes that. Then he says, I doubt whether

00:06:51.580 most of you would agree with me. About what? That they're going to write about this point in

00:06:57.720 history, not about any of us here, but whether or not democracy can function in the 21st century.

00:07:03.120 I would agree with that. Who wouldn't agree with that? The historians are going to look back at this

00:07:08.380 time and say, that's what was being decided. That's not controversial. What's controversial is

00:07:14.320 what he didn't finished. I've been convinced for a long time.

00:07:21.280 He says, they're going to write about us, not about us here, but whether or not democracy can

00:07:25.540 function in the 21st century. Then he says, not a joke. Whether autocracy is the answer.

00:07:34.320 They were my discussions and debates that I've had many times that I've met with President Z.

00:07:39.460 think about it. You know, things are moving so damn rapidly. Things are changing so rapidly in the

00:07:46.100 world, in science and technology, in a whole range of other issues, that the question is, in a democracy

00:07:52.440 such that such a genius is ours, can you get a consensus in the time frame that can compete

00:08:01.380 with autocracy? This tells you everything you need to know. He and his people do not agree. Neither

00:08:11.220 did Woodrow Wilson. Neither did Mussolini. Neither did Hitler. Neither did Stalin. Neither did the New 0.86

00:08:16.980 York Times. Back in the 1930s, this was exactly the conversation. And it started really with Wilson.

00:08:25.900 Science was happening. Things were moving quickly. If we go to war, can we build a war?

00:08:31.360 machine fast enough? We need to have an autocracy because they can say, everybody make bullets. 0.99

00:08:39.180 We're going to war. So it's centralized and it's directed by the government. So you can change on a

00:08:47.700 dime. But that's not our system. By the way, we were never going to be able to catch up with Germany 0.99

00:08:55.640 in 1941. We were so far away from being prepared for that war, especially against Germany, which had

00:09:03.960 the best planes, the best tanks, the best of everything. By 1944, the American free market kicked its ass. 0.99

00:09:14.460 So this is not a new idea. So what is he saying? He is setting up before the speech, 0.98

00:09:25.480 I think we all should question our democracy. Then in the speech, he sets the trap.

00:09:33.580 He's saying people are questioning. He's not saying him. He's saying people are questioning all around

00:09:40.200 the world. Can a democracy work? So that's the framework of the speech. So every time that he

00:09:47.500 said, you'll notice he said it a lot. The world won't wait. We've got to make these changes now.

00:09:55.740 So, quoting, I'd like to meet with those who have ideas that are different, I think, and that they

00:10:01.560 think are better. I welcome those ideas. But the rest of the world is not waiting for us. I want to be

00:10:07.460 clear. Doing nothing is not an option. We can't be so busy competing with one another that we forget

00:10:14.420 that the competition we have here is the rest of the world to win the 21st century. Then he goes in

00:10:20.600 another time. I've traveled with President Xi, blah, blah, blah. It's he's deadly earnest about becoming

00:10:26.840 the most significant consequential nation in the world. He and others, the autocrats, think democracy

00:10:32.100 can't compete. Then he later says the world is caught up or catching up. They're not waiting. I would say

00:10:40.020 if we are sitting down and putting a bipartisan committee together and we said, OK, we have to now decide

00:10:45.180 what we're going to do in terms of government providing free education. I wonder what we think. Well, we

00:10:49.980 wouldn't have that conversation under a republic. Constitutional republic, you don't have that

00:10:55.900 conversation. He also started the first 14 minutes. I can't tell you how many times. Go back and watch

00:11:04.880 it if you can. He kept saying that it was the people in that room. You made the difference. You are saving

00:11:14.400 lives. You are the reason we are getting past covid. You are the reason why our economy is coming back. Not the

00:11:23.340 American people. But Congress. He said over and over again, we have to have the courage to act now. We can't wait.

00:11:34.960 He made it very clear. China is the threat. And the possible model if we can't get our crap together. 0.98

00:11:46.660 The fourth thing was we have to change. And we are competing. So we have to act right now. And I want 0.97

00:11:55.720 this to happen. But we got to act right now because the world won't wait. The whole theme of this was

00:12:02.840 crisis and opportunity. That's how he started it. Crisis and opportunity. So let me tell you what's

00:12:11.520 going to happen. Give me one minute break and then I'll come back and tell you how this is a trap and

00:12:16.160 how it's all going to play out in the playbook. There are very few times that I'm on the air and I

00:12:22.720 just know. I know it's right. I'm telling you, I know this is right. I know this is right.

00:12:32.840 This is the best of a Glenn Beck program.

00:12:40.520 We want to bring on Thomas Massey. He is the congressman from northern Kentucky. He is somebody

00:12:47.840 who went to MIT, has a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, master's degree in mechanical

00:12:53.760 engineering. While he was in school, he invented technology that just is in use everywhere now.

00:13:02.980 He's got like 29 different patents. The guy is really, really brilliant, knows what's on the

00:13:08.280 horizon, knows the threats that losing our place with technology will cause. And watch the speech

00:13:18.640 last night. Thomas Massey, welcome to the program. How are you, sir? I'm doing well, Glenn. I used to

00:13:24.900 work in artificial and intelligence and virtual reality, and now I'm in Congress working in artificial

00:13:30.080 reality. It is crazy, isn't it? It's crazy. It was it was it was the most schizophrenic speech I've

00:13:42.420 ever heard. We have systematic racism all throughout our justice system. But the cops vast majority are

00:13:50.720 great and they have nothing to do with it. Wait, what? It's a great country, but we've got to change

00:13:57.360 it fundamentally. I mean, it was a schizophrenic speech. Yeah. Speaking of schizophrenia, he blamed

00:14:04.640 China for subsidizing their private companies and being in bed with government. Yet that's what he's

00:14:10.640 proposing to do with all of these programs. Let's start with the virtual reality here. It was it was

00:14:17.980 high theater. If you looked at the room, they had five seats at least between every member. But I fly

00:14:25.760 back and forth from Congress with these members. They sit shoulder to shoulder on the airplanes with

00:14:30.600 everybody else. The planes are packed. They spend more time on the airplane than they did in that room.

00:14:36.240 And you know, everybody in that room has either been vaccinated, acquired immunity through infection 0.90

00:14:41.540 or wearing a freaking mask. Thomas, I I watched the pre feed. So I got the network feed 45 minutes

00:14:52.180 early. So I'm watching them all come into the room. They're all hugging each other. They're all kissing

00:14:57.260 through the masks. They're standing right next to each other. There was no social distancing until the

00:15:03.300 network started their coverage. Then everybody went to their positions. It was your high theater.

00:15:10.000 You're absolutely right. And I've been on the floor. It's not within the rules for me to take a picture.

00:15:17.220 But I might have done that. I'm not saying I did, but I might have pictures of Democrats hugging each

00:15:22.980 other at large groups on the floor of the house. Meanwhile, Pelosi will sue you if you don't wear a mask.

00:15:28.060 But that's, you know, that's the theater here. Here's another thing, Glenn, speaking of the

00:15:32.620 schizophrenia, he said 650 billionaires in America saw their net worth increased by more than a

00:15:39.480 trillion dollars during the pandemic. Well, that's what I said was going to happen back at March 27th

00:15:46.420 of not this year, but last year when they passed the first two trillion dollar bill. And I'm not

00:15:50.980 singling out Joe Biden. I'm singling out everybody in D.C. who wouldn't stand up and even vote on the

00:15:57.620 freaking bill. Remember, I was the guy CNN called the most hated man in Washington, D.C. That's 0.95

00:16:03.760 probably the first and last time they ever got a headline right. And I was hated for simply saying

00:16:09.800 we need to vote on it and we need to read the bill. That was the first two trillion. We spent six

00:16:14.960 trillion. I said these little checks that I know they're consequential, but they're little in

00:16:20.580 comparison to the amount of money that was spent. That's the cheese in the trap. These, these

00:16:25.060 trillion dollar bills are the biggest wealth transfer from, from the middle class to the

00:16:30.920 upper class in the history of mankind. And you're not even talking about the six trillion dollars that

00:16:37.720 the Fed has just printed or digitized and given to the banks. Six trillion dollars in the last 12

00:16:45.620 months. When Biden, you know, he had to go from $10 minimum wage to $15 minimum wage, because that's

00:16:52.560 how much they've devalued the dollar in a year. So what was, what, what was the thing, Thomas, that

00:17:00.900 stuck out to you the most? What is the thing that you think people are missing? What's the clarion call

00:17:07.440 here on this? Well, the biggest thing is he's not a moderate. If you had any hopes of him governing as a

00:17:15.020 moderate, you can disabuse yourself of that notion. He is full hardcore left. He promoted every one of

00:17:22.020 Nancy Pelosi's bills, which by the way, were crafted by the most radical left elements of her party 0.70

00:17:27.740 that have passed the House of Representatives. They're all, you know them by their number,

00:17:32.820 their HR less than 10. I call them, right? There's, I never vote for HR less than 10. Even when we're in

00:17:38.720 the majority, those are usually pretty bad bills, but there was HR one, which will fundamentally change

00:17:44.080 elections and federalize that make voter ID virtually impossible to implement. There's HR eight,

00:17:49.840 the gun control bill that all the other HR less than 10, which are so radical. When they pass the

00:17:56.300 House, we say, yeah, they pass the House, but they'll never make it through the Senate. But he's

00:18:00.140 there pounding on the elector and say, send me these bills, I'll sign them. Folks, he's not,

00:18:05.760 he's not anywhere near moderate, and he's a captive of the radical left within their party.

00:18:10.260 So, Thomas, we did the math yesterday. One thing you didn't hear, and I've always heard this my

00:18:16.140 whole life when you're watching the networks cover these things, they would always say,

00:18:20.360 you know, just on the back of the napkin, what I heard was this president suggested that we would

00:18:25.660 spend an additional $481 billion. Last night, just in the two packages he talked about, not everything

00:18:32.880 else. Just in the two packages, that's almost $5 trillion. We have in the last 12 months spent and

00:18:42.580 digitized $19 trillion if these two bills pass. $19 trillion in the last 12 months. I'm not as good

00:18:54.320 at math as you are. When he said, oh, this economy is going to turn around, we are going to have a boom.

00:19:02.240 But it's going to be coupled with massive inflation at the same time, is it not?

00:19:08.080 Absolutely. We're on a sugar high right now. He said that the America Rescue Plan, we're already

00:19:13.540 seeing the results of it. And I say, yeah, if you want to see the results of it, go try to buy a sheet of

00:19:18.360 plywood. And you will see the results of the American Rescue Plan. And by the way, while we're

00:19:24.080 talking numbers, $5 trillion is about 20% of GDP. Biden bragged that GDP is going to go up 6% this

00:19:32.840 year. If you're spending 20%, if you're throwing out the money and you're spending 20%, is it a miracle

00:19:40.520 that it goes up 6%? No, where'd the other 14% go?

00:19:47.560 When he was proposing this jobs plan and he said, you know, we've got to build America strong and

00:19:52.540 we're going to fix our infrastructure. And he talked about the lead pipes. Okay, fine. You know,

00:19:57.680 that's bad. We should have, you know, no lead in our water pipes, et cetera, et cetera. But he said,

00:20:02.900 these are good jobs. No, they're not. That is fixing 200 schools and, you know, colleges or whatever,

00:20:10.100 he said, had the lead pipes. And that's fixing those institutions. That's not something that

00:20:17.480 creates wealth or creates new jobs. So how are these jobs now directed by the government going

00:20:25.500 to create new wealth? It's not going to. Then the checks are keeping people at home.

00:20:32.640 People are, which is in turn, adding to inflation. That's right. Because we can't get people to make

00:20:40.360 things. Used car prices are going up quickly. And the jobs he's talking about are tradespeople.

00:20:48.600 You know, I put them on a higher plane than college graduates, frankly. But yeah, I do too.

00:20:54.480 They're more scarce than college graduates. They're more political science majors. I guarantee it

00:20:59.900 then there are plumbers and electricians. And these are the kind of jobs that he's, he's talked

00:21:05.640 about, but they're already, if you have that skill, you can go to work tomorrow. Those folks are always

00:21:11.300 in demand. So he's, you know, uh, and what, what passes for infrastructure? I'm on the transportation

00:21:17.820 committee. Okay. I would, you know, this is one of my, uh, guilty things as a libertarian leaning

00:21:25.780 Republican. I actually believe government has a place in building the roads. And so I said, put me

00:21:31.360 on the transportation committee. It's one of the few things we should be spending money on. So I could

00:21:36.380 be for an infrastructure bill. Look, we spend 60 billion, six, zero billion dollars a year on roads

00:21:43.360 and bridges at the federal level. Yet we spent six trillion dollars. Like the 60 billion that we've

00:21:50.160 spent is it's like less than 1% of the money that's gone out the door, but that's about the

00:21:57.060 ratio you're going to get on his infrastructure bill. That's coming up. They're calling everything

00:22:01.060 infrastructure. Could you change subject? Cause you would be one guy that understands this. Um,

00:22:08.200 Apple is saying that, uh, the price of their products are going to go up because of the chip

00:22:13.060 shortage. Uh, Ford just had a record breaking, uh, quarter. Uh, but now they're saying that they are

00:22:19.960 going to have to reduce the number of cars that they're building because of the chip shortage.

00:22:24.060 What is that caused by? And what does that mean? Well, in my, uh, pastime here or as a hobby,

00:22:32.020 I design electrical circuits and, uh, I can tell you, you know, I used to, I did this 20 years ago,

00:22:39.500 but as a hobby, I'm doing it now. You have two choices. When you buy chips, now you can either buy

00:22:45.260 Chinese branded chips made in China, or you can buy American or Japanese branded chips made in

00:22:50.880 China. Like literally we don't have the capacity to take it from chips. Like whether it's a, it's a

00:22:59.160 factory that makes chips or a factory that forges the castings for our machine tools. There are certain

00:23:05.880 fundamental capabilities that are critical to our economy, but also to our national defense.

00:23:11.760 We just don't have the capability. I have to tell you, this is where that's infrastructure that I

00:23:17.600 would support. Give us, you know, help us build, uh, the infrastructure to be able to, or make it easy

00:23:26.020 by cutting regulations to build the things where we can be independent. This is insanity in a world

00:23:33.820 where chips run everything. We don't make them anymore. We don't make them anymore. Uh,

00:23:41.540 it's scary. And the, and the change in the last 20 or 30 years, you used to be able to buy a chip

00:23:46.860 that was made in a foundry here in the United States, or you could buy one overseas, but the

00:23:51.380 domestic option is not an option anymore. You can buy a domestic brand that's made overseas,

00:23:57.420 right? That is it for 99.99% of these chips. Okay. So, so tell me why is this happening? Is this

00:24:06.620 just because of the COVID slowdown in shipping? Is this intentional on China's part? Uh, and what

00:24:13.900 can we do? I don't think it's intentional. I think they had a small slowdown, uh, you know,

00:24:21.680 Hubei province, Wuhan, that's, that's where a lot of this activity actually is. So they had a small

00:24:27.700 slowdown there. Uh, you had a kink in virtually every aspect of our own supply system here in the 1.00

00:24:35.060 United States. You know, the chip manufacturers aren't going to keep making chips when you're

00:24:40.080 not making the appliances that use those chips. Correct. So they, they slow down, but now we're,

00:24:46.160 you know, the appliance industry here in the United States is doing great. They can't keep up with the

00:24:52.180 demand of refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines. Part of that's because everybody's

00:24:56.920 staying home. Part of that's because you just put, you know, $1,500 in their hands per family member,

00:25:03.620 1400. Uh, so demand's going through the roof where it's a sample. It's like when a, um, it's like when

00:25:12.100 a bridge, there's an accident on a bridge and traffic backs up and you realize how reliant you

00:25:17.640 are on that bridge, how everything is, you know, on both sides of the river shut down. It's the same

00:25:23.260 thing with this. This is a wake up call. We, you know, it's like the bridge got temporarily shut

00:25:28.460 down. We'll get over this. It's not intentional on China's part, but what do we do? Right. Is 0.96

00:25:34.220 there anybody working on it? I'm sorry. I'm up against the network break. Is there anybody doing

00:25:38.940 anything about it or that we can do about it? Not to my knowledge, not to my knowledge.

00:25:44.860 Okay. Uh, Thomas Massey, I have so much to talk to you. Maybe we'll have you back on because I want

00:25:51.260 to talk to you about the future of the Republican party. So maybe we can invite you to come back on

00:25:55.560 with us. Uh, I appreciate the, you spent with us today. Thank you so much. It's an honor to be on

00:26:00.000 your show, Glenn. Thank you so much. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. And we really want

00:26:07.840 to thank you for listening. The new book that comes out, I think next Tuesday, uh, from Bill O'Reilly

00:26:21.280 is killing the mob. One of his best books yet. I think, uh, killing the mob available now for

00:26:28.380 pre-order at billoreilly.com or wherever you buy your books, Mr. Bill O'Reilly, welcome to the program,

00:26:32.900 sir. Beck, thanks for having me in. You know, I think what happened to, uh, president Biden last

00:26:38.300 night, about eight minutes into the speeches, he, he segued into his Don Corleone voice.

00:26:44.900 Luca, my, my great friend, you know, that's what it was. He does have that. Yeah, he does.

00:26:52.280 You know, he does. Doug Bazzini, I didn't know until today. It was Bazzini all along. All right.

00:27:01.500 That's what happened. He, when he saw the Godfather probably this week, they planted every hour on the

00:27:07.300 hour and he kind of just segued into his Don Corleone voice. So Bill, I would have to agree

00:27:13.140 with you that it was the most boring speech. I mean, it was relentlessly boring, but I think it

00:27:18.920 was extraordinarily important what he said. Well, I don't know about that. I didn't learn anything

00:27:25.480 from the speech. Um, I, wow. And then I don't think that Americans understand the big picture

00:27:32.260 and certainly Joe Biden doesn't understand what he's doing. I mean, he didn't. Oh, I think he does.

00:27:37.640 I think he does. No, I disagree a hundred percent. He, the reason I'm saying this is that speech last

00:27:45.460 night could have been written by Rod Serling, the twilight zone guy. Yeah. That's how unrealistic

00:27:52.220 and, uh, fantastical word of the day for Stu. Fantastical. That speech was you can. Why do

00:28:01.940 you say that? Because the country owes $28 trillion now. All right. And they have to pay the United

00:28:10.240 States and all of us who live here. We have to pay interest on that debt to investors, but, uh,

00:28:16.780 bonds to foreign countries, we have to pay it. So Biden comes up and last night alone,

00:28:22.720 um, all his plans. I know you noticed this is a lot of plans back his plans. I mean, um, we have

00:28:31.520 the family plan and the COVID relief plan, the infrastructure plan, the American jobs plans,

00:28:38.320 a lot of plans and the plans add up just last night to 6 trillion. So I'm not a math whiz, but I'm going

00:28:46.280 $28 trillion plus six is $34 trillion. Okay. So there are not enough wealthy people or evil

00:28:55.620 corporations to even dent that. You can't, I mean, he's going up there, oh, we're going to give you

00:29:02.940 everything. If you have a baby, we're going to pay for your babysitter. That's what he actually said.

00:29:09.860 All right. So childcare is babysitting. Feds are going to pay. All right. Universal childcare.

00:29:18.200 What does that mean? That means if you don't have a job and you just want to get rid of a little

00:29:22.300 tight for five or six hours a day, the feds are going to pay. It's not necessary. You're not going

00:29:28.700 to be tied into, well, you've got to work. No, it's universal childcare. Then pre-K, we're going to

00:29:37.220 start our schooling at three years old. We'll pay for all of that because we have to build new

00:29:43.400 schools with new teachers and new facilities because three-year-olds are a little tough

00:29:49.820 going into the school when they don't even know their name. Okay. Then when you get through the

00:29:56.880 public schooling, and by the way, when you get into the public school, the federal government is going

00:30:01.760 to order, if you want block grant money, you to teach critical race theory. And critical race

00:30:08.280 theory is basically white people are bad. All right. Then you get through the school and then 0.99

00:30:15.300 we're going to pay for your community college. Now, why you can't pay three or 4,000 for community

00:30:20.800 college, I don't know, but Joe's going to do it. So that it's like ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching,

00:30:27.900 ka-ching. It's never going to happen. It's impossible financially and structurally. But because of all 1.00

00:30:36.400 that President Biden said, I have given him a new nickname, Beck, and I'm going to announce it on

00:30:42.500 your program right now. Are you ready? Okay. I'm all at table. This is, with respect, forever on,

00:30:50.260 President Biden should be known as, you ready? Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Don't

00:31:00.680 say it yet. Stu, have you, have you connected? No, have you, have you, Stu, have you alerted the

00:31:06.240 press? Have you alerted the press yet? No. I just want to make sure we have everybody, go ahead.

00:31:10.760 You stepped on my line. Of course you did. Of course. Welcome to my world.

00:31:14.820 The nickname is now Joey Warbucks, cousin of Daddy Warbucks from Annie fame. Joey Warbucks. Okay. Hey,

00:31:27.040 he's going to take out the big role. He's going to peel off a couple of tens. Hey, here I am. I'm

00:31:33.220 Joey Warbucks. So this is crazy. All right. And anyone with a modicum of intelligence or any political

00:31:42.880 science background at all, or any economic background, anybody would know. So this is

00:31:47.800 what amused me the most. Right after, um, Joey Warbucks got off the stage, CBS took a snap poll of

00:31:57.320 CBS viewers. And guess what? 85% of them liked the speech. Get 80. Wow. 85% of CBS news viewers like

00:32:09.460 the speech. That's like Fox news taking a poll after a Trump speech. It's the same thing. If you're

00:32:16.800 not a Democrat leftist, you don't watch CBS news. Doesn't anybody understand that? So those whole

00:32:25.720 thing to me, it is, I'm going to revise my, uh, disagreement with you. The speech was important

00:32:32.780 because of the absurdity of it, but it wasn't important in the sense that any of this is ever

00:32:40.000 going to happen. Let me make one more point. And this is an important point. At the end of the

00:32:44.940 speech, Biden sneaks in a little border stuff. All right. It, that was not the border in the race

00:32:52.340 was played down in the speech. Yes. Biden says to the American people, you know, when I was vice

00:32:59.340 president, my boss, Barack Obama put me in charge of Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador,

00:33:06.840 and the root causes of migration into the USA. And I had that problem solved. Me, Joe Biden,

00:33:15.180 I did it. But then Trump came in and wrecked it. Remember that? You don't remember it, do you?

00:33:21.920 It was at the end when everybody was somnambulant, another word of the day. Everybody's like,

00:33:27.600 oh, please end this. All right. So he says that, that he, Joe Biden, solved the migration

00:33:34.640 root cause. In the eight years, Barack Obama was president and Biden was vice president.

00:33:41.420 They deported more human beings from the United States than any other administration combined.

00:33:49.160 But Joe solved it. So we're at a point now in America because of the corrupt press where you

00:33:56.760 can go on if you're a politician and say anything. You can say, Godzilla is going to come on Thursday.

00:34:05.440 So you better all, you know, hunker down. And it's fine. If Godzilla doesn't show up,

00:34:11.740 he didn't come. He's late. This is the country we're living in now. And it's, it's a little frightening.

00:34:18.780 So I want to ask you a couple of things because, um, what I picked up from the speech was

00:34:25.940 that he's not, but other countries are questioning whether democracy can compete,

00:34:31.240 you know, whether we are going to be fast enough to compete to, to, uh, win against these autocracies,

00:34:37.560 uh, in the 21st century. And I've talked to president Z and president Putin, and they don't

00:34:42.420 believe we can compete. Really? Our, our communist and, and, uh, and, and, uh, state killer don't think

00:34:50.880 that America can win. Um, and he said, you know, we just have to move. We have to move. We have to

00:34:56.040 move. This is important because of what he said to the press prior to, he met with some of the, um,

00:35:04.560 the trusted anchors and I'm quoting him before the speech. He said, and I really believe because

00:35:10.280 I've spoken with over, I guess, by the time 25, 30 heads of state, including Putin and president,

00:35:14.840 uh, Z I had a two hour conversation with him and I, I've been convinced for a long time.

00:35:20.500 Well, look, I doubt many of you would agree with me, but I think we're going to look,

00:35:25.960 they're going to write history about this point in history, not about any of us in here,

00:35:30.720 but about whether or not a democracy can function in the 21st century, not a joke, whether autocracy

00:35:37.620 is the answer. They were my many discussions that I have had many times when I've met with

00:35:43.680 president Z. Think about it. You know, things are moving so rapidly. Things are changing so rapidly

00:35:48.500 in the world in science and technology, the whole range of other issues. The question is,

00:35:53.100 is a democracy that such a genius is ours. Can you get a consensus in the timeframe that can compete

00:35:59.820 with an autocracy? So when he was saying you pass it now, pass it now, pass it now,

00:36:04.880 you got to do it now. The world won't wait. He was setting up, uh, that our democracy as our

00:36:12.320 Republic has spelled out is just not working. We have to make fundamental changes to the system

00:36:18.420 because it's just not working. We look, all the American people agree. And there's just some people

00:36:25.140 that are just stubborn. And quite honestly, part of this, this white racism and the systemic racism 0.53

00:36:31.420 that, um, that, uh, just won't agree and won't help us move forward. And we've got to move. We got

00:36:37.540 to change. I really think this was the, the cornerstone speech to be able to come back maybe a year from

00:36:45.940 now and say, we tried it, but they won't move. I begged them, but they wouldn't move.

00:36:50.540 Right. They won't do it. Well, that's the transform, transformative philosophy that Barack

00:36:56.600 Obama has. That's what that is. But Joe Biden doesn't know what he's saying. You don't think

00:37:01.540 he really understands what he's saying, do you? Uh, I, I do to some extent. I don't think he's

00:37:09.420 creating any of it. Um, but I, the bigger picture of what his acolytes are telling him. He doesn't

00:37:17.980 understand that by printing $6 trillion, the U S treasury department will impose tremendous

00:37:27.360 inflation on this country. Joe Biden doesn't know that he doesn't know macroeconomics.

00:37:32.740 So if you have money, Bill, I'm a high school graduate and I know that, right? I'm a high

00:37:40.140 school graduate. He doesn't know it in his diminished capacity. All right. He doesn't

00:37:46.360 understand what he's saying as far as the repercussions of it or the unintended consequences

00:37:54.200 of it. It's obvious because if you could, if, if I'm, or you are interviewing Joe Biden back

00:38:02.140 or O'Reilly and he's there, it's one-on-one, it would be a catastrophe for Mr. Biden. Would

00:38:09.500 it not a catastrophe? Because you could say, no, look, what you're proposing is socialism,

00:38:18.640 Mr. President. That's what you're proposing. You want the government to control policing.

00:38:25.120 That's what the George Floyd bill is all about. You want the government to control elections when

00:38:31.160 clearly in a constitutional, that's the state purview. You want the government to control a

00:38:36.780 private economy. All right. And the government is going to create the jobs. How many times last

00:38:42.820 night did he say, we're going to create the jobs? How many? Yes. A million times of it were one.

00:38:50.060 I got 18. Yeah. The government doesn't create jobs. The private sector does. Does Biden know that?

00:38:58.740 No. Now the people behind Biden know it. The speech writer knows it. So basically what Biden

00:39:06.740 was telling the United to the American people was we don't really believe in this free marketplace

00:39:12.040 anymore. We don't want capital. Correct. Capital. And he does. Okay, Bill, let me just, let me say,

00:39:21.080 let me rephrase or reset in your mind the way we're looking at Joe Biden. Joe Biden is part of the elite.

00:39:31.160 And yes, he is diminished capacity. But this conversation has been happening for a long time

00:39:37.800 before he had diminished capacity. When we started to do TARP, I know because I know people that were in

00:39:45.120 that room, they were, they were saying at the time we have to violate the free market to save the free

00:39:51.120 market, which didn't make any sense. But they started down this road and they were looking for the exit

00:39:58.900 strategy. It will come back to normal. It will come back to normal. We'll go back and we'll erase all

00:40:04.100 that debt. Well, they tried. It didn't work. So what's the exit strategy? Then they started getting mixed up

00:40:10.860 with, you know, just money printing. The Fed printed $6 trillion and gave it to the banks just last year

00:40:18.360 in the last 12 months. And so there's no way out. So what's the exit strategy? The exit strategy is,

00:40:26.320 and you've heard this for years, China is the new model, more of an autocratic rule that the government

00:40:35.320 makes a private public partnership. And we begin to move in a different way and we publicly invest.

00:40:43.560 Now, at the same time, we know that all this money is going to cause inflation, but the dollar is the

00:40:49.080 reserve currency. That writing has been on the wall for quite some time. So as part of this great reset

00:40:55.460 is a great financial reset, but you can't reset the dollar unless the dollar is completely decimated.

00:41:02.420 So go ahead, give it the juice and we'll put the structure in for it to collapse in. I think he

00:41:09.200 knows exactly what he's doing. I don't think he could, he could have understood what you just said.

00:41:16.360 All right. So we just have a gentleman's disagreement. Okay. So if you, if you look at Joe Biden's

00:41:22.060 history, he's always been a party guy, never been an innovated guy, never been a creative guy,

00:41:29.640 you know, plagiarism all over the place in his resume, as you know. All right. Yes. He's a party

00:41:36.220 guy. They used to call him party hacks. I don't want to be disrespectful, but that's what he is.

00:41:42.160 He's always done what he's told to do. Now he's the progressives run the party. Everybody knows that

00:41:48.360 there are very few, even moderate Democrats. Yeah. I don't think Biden is doing what he is told to do.

00:41:56.200 Does he understand what inflation is, how much money the treasury printed just to fight COVID?

00:42:07.920 No. I talked to Newt Gingrich yesterday. He was kind enough to have me on his podcast to talk about

00:42:12.900 killing the mob. And we talked a little bit about politics before we got to the book. And I said to

00:42:19.920 the speaker, who's a very smart guy. You may not like him. He's not a good predictor. I mean,

00:42:26.660 he said Trump is going to win in a landslide. I went, which Trump are we talking about? Ivanka?

00:42:32.500 Because I knew that there was going to be not a good thing. It's certainly not a landslide. But

00:42:38.600 anyway, Gingrich said to me, the danger here is inflation. Not that the economy is going to

00:42:48.060 collapse overnight because we're going to have consumer spending, which is going to be

00:42:53.680 robust after COVID. It will be a melt up. It will be a just rapid rise and then a crash.

00:43:02.600 Right. But you can see it now in the price of gas. Gas is way up. Grocery. I went to a restaurant

00:43:09.480 today. They wanted $55 for a steak. I said, are you going to give me a couple of tires for my car

00:43:15.360 with that? I mean, $55? So this is what's happening. But Biden doesn't understand that.

00:43:22.200 He doesn't live in the real world. He's always been a marginal intellect. Always. And now he's in

00:43:31.480 charge. And that's frightening.
