00:00:11.000Why is he not capable of running a campaign, but he is capable of being president of the United States?
00:00:19.340Doesn't that seem a little maybe perhaps backwards?
00:00:21.760Why did he announce it on Sunday in kind of a rushed fashion when people said that it would be Sunday afternoon at the latest that he would do it, but he denied it?
00:00:35.960Why could we possibly and how could we possibly accept Kamala Harris, who not only is a diehard socialist radical, but she also was part of the team that was lying about his health the whole time.
00:02:46.800In fact, nobody in the White House agreed with that on Friday.
00:02:50.920In fact, just before the tweet went out, nobody in the White House even knew he was going to.
00:02:57.040I'm going to get back to that here in a second because I think something doesn't smell right.
00:03:04.040Now, the reason why, they say, is because of money, polling, it would wipe out the Democratic Party, staff, friends, donors, all abandon Joe Biden.
00:03:36.060When you do something this dramatic, first time in American history, when you do something this dramatic, you don't usually just spring it on everyone.
00:03:47.780You usually will go in and have a speech and they will announce that the president is going to speculate what he's going to say, et cetera, et cetera.
00:03:56.140And then he gives a speech from the Oval Office in his in his stepping down from the party.
00:04:04.820He said he would be addressing it later this week.
00:04:21.760You have until 2 p.m. on Sunday to resign or what?
00:04:28.600What did Joe Biden get in return for resigning?
00:04:35.760Was there or were there promises made by anyone that we will make sure that you're not you're not held responsible for any of those crimes that you might have committed?
00:08:53.980Well, if you can't debate, I don't want you in a room with Putin or Z.
00:08:58.400I don't want you on the telephone with anybody.
00:09:01.300But the Democrats are suddenly fine with that because they say he can't win.
00:09:05.900Well, Pat, look at Kamala Harris's poll.
00:09:10.300Kamala Harris, she is she's below Joe Biden.
00:09:17.220She is more unliked than Donald Trump is.
00:09:22.320So why would they go for somebody else who has this horrible, horrible image and likability problem who polls just the same, if not a little below Joe Biden?
00:09:37.260Why would you have that as your replacement?
00:10:31.880Well, Kamala's poll numbers are just as horrible.
00:10:35.140So, why wouldn't you let him in and then accept this person?
00:10:45.600And why wouldn't you push for him to retire?
00:10:49.100Is it because then you lose the first female black president to be president as an election trick?
00:11:01.120I mean, why wouldn't he just resign and her take over and then she can run and she'll have, you know, she'll be the president and you can show what she can do and that, you know, people get used to it.
00:11:14.920Or do you need the fact that she'll be the first black, you know, Asian president?
00:12:19.660And this is something that you really want to pay attention to because this is American history in the making.
00:12:25.840How is it, Pat, that we have Democrats that have been saying that this is the end of democracy, and yet the same ones that have been telling you he's fine, he's fine, he's fine, are now the ones saying, boy, he's not fine.
00:12:47.820They called us a conspiracy theorist to say that he wasn't fine.
00:12:51.060Then when it was exposed, they're the ones saying it's okay.
00:12:56.760They were also the ones that it's not okay.
00:12:59.720They were also the ones that said, no, he doesn't need to have a primary.
00:13:05.180He doesn't need to go and actually campaign and primary.
00:13:09.380They wanted to keep this quiet for as long as they could.
00:13:12.900So they're the ones, because remember, when there was no primary, the reason why people were talking about it, because a lot of Democratic voters didn't want Joe Biden.
00:13:24.100They didn't think that he, but those people were crazy and dangerous.
00:13:28.900So they had 14 million people vote for Joe Biden, and now for the third time, the presidential election in the Democratic Party is going to be decided by elites.
00:13:42.060The first time it occurred was 2016, when the Democratic National Committee manipulated money in the process to help Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders.
00:13:55.720The second time, right, the second time was 2020, when the party elites pushed out Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, so Elizabeth Warren would split the progressive vote with Bernie Sanders, which then made Biden the candidate.
00:14:12.180Both times, both times, people knew this was happening.
00:14:16.800Now, this time, even though she was deeply, deeply unpopular with Democratic voters, remember, she came in last.
00:14:31.860She's now apparently going to be the candidate because they thwarted the primary system, so they didn't let the people speak.
00:14:40.020And now they're going to go to an open primary.
00:14:42.880That's what they're actually calling for.
00:14:44.900It is crazy for the Democratic Party, the ones that are shouting that, you know, we're headed towards a dictatorship where the elites will call all the shots.
00:14:56.100They have the elites calling all the shots.
00:15:00.260You know, it was a very small number of Democratic Party donors and the media that chose Hillary Clinton, Biden, and Harris.
00:15:08.020It was the media that influenced the donors and decided Biden should go after his, you know, they should go after him on the disastrous debate performance.
00:15:19.100The ordinary Democrat, really, do you realize you don't have a voice anymore?
00:15:25.920When the media insisted he was fine, you just jumped on board with the media saying, yeah, see, you guys are liars.
00:15:35.160How many times do they have to do this to you before you wake up and go, gosh, these guys are really not good people.
00:16:56.620And whatever the super elites get to vote, whatever they vote, well, that's going to probably be, well, that's more important than the other delegates.
00:17:07.060So you've got about 5,000 people total that are going to be making the decision in Chicago on who you can have as your choice for president of the United States.
00:17:21.840And it's all caused by the same people who are now voting.
00:17:25.320They're all the ones that told you he was fine.
00:17:28.060They're all the ones that said, no, no, no.
00:21:27.500This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:21:32.640So let me go to Carol Roth now, who is joining us.
00:21:38.580She is the author of You Will Own Nothing, and a former investment banker.
00:21:44.100I want to talk to her a little bit about Kamala Harris, but also about this so-called short, taking a short position against Donald J. Trump a day before the assassination attempt of 7-13.
00:22:12.480And I think we're going to age another 40 years by the end of the summer.
00:22:16.960Yeah, I think you're right, unfortunately.
00:22:18.900Okay, so tell me, is this true or not, the Trump media option story?
00:22:27.040So this was one of the biggest stories going around social media, and certainly was very odd, right?
00:22:33.960The day before he gets assassinated, there is this big set of options contracts betting against the stock, saying that they were betting that the stock was going to fall massively.
00:22:49.360And, of course, everybody's tying, what does this mean, what does this mean?
00:22:52.680So this is what I found based on publicly available information.
00:22:57.560So registered investment advisor called Austin Private Wealth, as you mentioned, they have to file what's called a 13F filing.
00:23:05.720This is a disclosure filing that's required quarterly from any investment manager that has more than $100 million in assets under management.
00:23:16.800And basically, it lists all of their equity holdings, which usually includes equity-related options and other ETFs and stocks and the like, at the end of every quarter.
00:23:28.240And since after the quarter ends, it takes a little bit of time to gather the data, that's usually filed within a few weeks after the end of the quarter.
00:23:39.380So the filing for Austin Wealth, as of the end of June, was made on July 12th.
00:23:46.800So people who sort of, you know, think that this was reflective of something that happened on July 12th didn't really appreciate that this was an end of June report that was filed on July 12th.
00:23:58.940So that sort of set off the first wave of conspiracies.
00:24:02.480The second thing, very unfortunate, is that they had a third-party vendor, apparently, according to their press release, that had erroneously misstated their positions.
00:24:14.940And that meant that for the Trump media group, they had put, instead of putting 12 contracts, which represented 1,200 shares, because each contract is 100 share, it showed that they had 12 million share equivalents.
00:24:34.380So, you know, that sounds a little sketchy.
00:24:37.760But they did that on every single call-and-put option that they had listed.
00:24:42.480So it was, you know, for NVIDIA, they had 370 million shares listed, Bank of America, 110 million shares.
00:24:49.800So this was a clear error across the board.
00:24:52.560And because I don't believe anything, I went back and I checked all of the previous filings.
00:24:57.740And in all of the previous filings, they had a normalized number of contracts being shown.
00:25:04.240So it was clear this was a mistake and it was an outlier.
00:25:07.580So when you put these two things together and you look like it looks like there's so many shares and it's done at a time period that looks like it was the, you know, Friday before the assassination attempt, but really that was just a filing date.
00:25:22.020It got very blown out of proportion and they recognized their error and they did a new filing that they had to amend with the SEC.
00:25:33.540And for anybody who's super nerdy and likes to go through and look at filings, this is all available on the SEC site, Edgar, which allows you to find, you know, all the filings, the publicly available filings that are made by companies.
00:25:47.920So it's an unfortunate mistake in terms of timing and sort of the scope of the mistake that was made.
00:26:03.220There was a major outage this weekend and they say it was just a release of new software and it was, you know, it was just an error that nobody caught.
00:26:13.280How does that happen and put the United States, I mean, there were like 12 planes flying in the sky because of this and Europe was hit even harder than we were.
00:26:25.200Yeah, this is, you know, I've talked about Nassim Taleb before in previous books and things like that.
00:26:32.640And he's the author and sort of coiner of the phrase, the black swan and wider use.
00:26:38.740And they talk about these systemic risks that are being brought on by the fact that we're all so interconnected and technology is really exacerbating the systemic risk.
00:26:51.140In fact, it's one of the reasons I argued and you want nothing that a central bank digital currency on top of all the other reasons made no sense because it increases, you know, that the idea that you could have this massive one off systemic risk instead of everything being decentralized and having maybe more frequent but smaller risks.
00:27:11.200So when you have a firm that is tied into basically every major company on the planet and is impacting how their infrastructure runs, you're increasing the ability to have these huge systemic risks.
00:27:34.180Unfortunately, I tend to think that we are in the era of incompetence.
00:27:39.380And, you know, that is in many ways just as bad.
00:27:43.080And we've seen in all of these different areas of our lives, these sort of lackadaisical policies and the fact that people are no longer in school taught, you know, merit and excellence and the value of their name and their work.
00:27:57.440And they just want to be, you know, given things based on an equity.
00:28:01.620And because I showed up, you know, you do get these worse outcomes.
00:28:06.360And so, you know, how could it happen?
00:28:08.540I mean, we all sit there and go, yeah, wouldn't you test for these things?
00:28:12.580But, you know, that's sort of the reality we're living in.
00:28:15.720And I think it really should highlight and put a giant red neon sign on the fact that we shouldn't all be on these same systems.
00:28:25.460There should be some level of decentralization.
00:28:28.800There should at least be a secondary fail safe because, you know, this is something that was massive and was able to be brought back up in short order.
00:28:38.440But the next time that may not be the case.
00:28:41.260And this is the kind of stuff you and I have been talking about in terms of preparation because, you know, what if you didn't have ATM access for multiple days?
00:28:49.740What if you didn't have access to a pharmacy that couldn't get you your medication on time because, you know, they couldn't access their records?
00:28:58.880I mean, there's so many things now that are all completely reliant on technology, which is great when it works 99 percent of the time.
00:29:06.060And when it doesn't work, it can be a disaster.
00:29:08.600So quickly, I just want to touch on Jamie Dimon being thrown around.
00:29:14.280What a surprise that is when I saw him at Davos and he was like, you know, we should take a second look at Donald Trump.
00:29:19.160I don't think he's that bad of a guy, but he's he wants to be Treasury secretary.
00:29:23.320But I also saw a story that Donald Trump is friends with Larry Fink from BlackRock and would consider that.
00:29:33.700And yes, I saw that headline as well, and I almost fell over, you know, in the Jamie Dimon versus Larry Fink.
00:29:42.940I'm taking Jamie Dimon every single day or 24-7, 365, every single time.
00:29:49.780Jamie himself has been positioning to get out of J.P. Morgan for the first time ever.
00:29:55.900He said that, you know, he is no longer a he I'm going to be here for the next five years.
00:30:00.100It's, you know, I'm I'm looking for a successor.
00:30:01.960One of the things that you may or may not be aware of, and that's happened with Gary Cohn in the last administration, is that if you go into an administration, they make you sell all of your shares, which means you don't have to, at that point, pay the capital gains taxes on them.
00:30:19.300So it's a really waiting, a really great way if you've got a lot of stock to get a windfall.
00:30:24.460So and given the fact that Jamie Dimon is plugged in with all of all of these people and knows what's going on, I think that that's one to watch for Larry Fink.
00:30:34.360I think we all need to raise our voices if that sounds like it's becoming something that's going to happen.
00:30:39.700This is why I always tell you that for people who say, should I get out of the stock market, you have to remember, these guys are always taking care of their own.
00:30:49.360If we're talking about Jamie Dimon in charge of things, what do you think his number one priority is going to be?
00:32:16.440I don't think people remember, because the Biden version is insane, too.
00:32:19.700But this was like, you know, $100 trillion insane, and that was their estimate.
00:32:24.620So this is somebody who is in the same league as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren when they're talking about policy.
00:32:32.340We have her on video saying things like, I don't think there should be any private health care.
00:32:38.400And if you go back to being somebody who wanted to step into that co-sponsorship, most of the senators did not want anything to do with that.
00:32:50.200And if you start going through that, I mean, it's a socialization of everything.
00:32:53.480It's not only just completely killing energy policy, but it's a socialization of labor and wages, and, you know, even more so of college, and, you know, all of these different government handouts and, you know, basic income programs.
00:33:10.620So I think that people really need to be doubled down on, A, this is not only an extension of the Biden administration terrible policies, because the same people are pulling the strings.
00:33:22.180But she's also aligned with every kooky socialist on the planet.
00:33:27.740And this isn't a person with a lot of political clout and fortitude that says, no, you know what, I came from, you know, this area, I ran a business, you know, I'm strong in this, and I know.
00:33:38.760I mean, do you think she has any idea what monetary policy is?
00:33:57.040Carol Roth, you can follow her at carolroth.com slash news, and you can get her updates on stories and the economy and also her book, You Will Own Nothing, from the former investment banker, carolroth.com.
00:35:21.160I was pulling out of, actually, Fairfax County, just across the river there, at exactly the moment that the assassination attempt happened.
00:35:30.400I regret wholly that I did not turn my car around because I was headed back home to Raleigh at the time.
00:35:36.100I regret that I did not immediately drive to Butler County in Pennsylvania.
00:35:41.920I don't know how far it is, four or five hours, whatever it was, from where I was located at the time, because we had an avalanche of really good on-the-ground intel that was coming in for the first 12 or 16 hours after the shots were fired.
00:35:56.420But then came the gag order from Mayorkas all the way down the chain, and they not only instructed their on-the-ground Secret Service agents who were there that day, no more, zip it up, don't say a word.
00:36:11.740Literally, the words were, if you want to keep your job, you're going to shut up.
00:38:15.800Yeah, we published that story last Tuesday.
00:38:17.760And then Trump, in his speech Thursday night, said – or he said, he said – and then the Secret Service sniper took him out from a much, much further distance than we had first learned.
00:38:28.080So, we were kind of like, okay, yeah, thanks for the confirmation, Mr. President.
00:38:32.120But the bottom line is, is that we've been able to, through our sources on the ground, we've been able to confirm that we know that the kid got off something on the order of eight shots.
00:39:13.320We know that the guys that were behind them up on the – behind the stage, behind Trump, those counter sniper teams, we know that they did not make the connection.
00:39:21.740We know that one of those definitely missed.
00:39:24.780And then we also know because, as I said, we haven't revealed this yet, I actually had in my hands the telemetry from the counter snipers scope within an hour after the shooter was taken out.
00:40:07.400So, Steve, what about the idea that they had seen him up to an hour before, they knew before something was wrong, saw him, you know, taking measurements before Trump even got on stage and nobody in secret service alerted the president or even thought about not going through with everything.
00:40:39.340We know that the counter snipers had crooks in their sight at least two minutes, maybe even as much as 10 minutes ahead of time.
00:40:48.600We know that they had them in their sights.
00:40:50.900But we know that they did not take him out and pull the trigger because – and this is where it gets fun.
00:40:57.740And I'm watching Cheadle up here on television doing her, you know, testimony before Congress right now.
00:41:03.300And this is where the cover-up begins and this is where the lies begin is because we now know conclusively that the counter-sniper teams were trying to, quote, unquote, de-conflict.
00:41:15.580Now, what that means is is that we are told that there was supposed to be a counter-sniper team on top of the very roof, which Crooks fired his shot at President Trump.
00:41:27.380So, did they think that was a counter-sniper?
00:41:29.300They did know, and that was the problem.
00:42:54.040So, the big failure there is when you're not on the same comms, you have another guy – you have a representative in each one of the command centers who's – basically, you cross-pollinate with the agency so that they can talk to each other.
00:43:05.020So, you've got a handheld – okay, we're hearing this.
00:44:11.520And then you talk about the largest government in the world.
00:44:13.620It's going to be the most incompetent government in the world.
00:44:15.800And these agencies are getting more and more incompetent because we know we've had discussions for the last week about the DEI hires.
00:44:23.800And it was very obviously present there in those individuals protecting Trump that day.
00:44:28.860And we're looking at it on television right now, the DEI hire being grilled by Congress right now.
00:44:35.380But the point being is that we go to incompetence first, but I've never, ever seen this level of incompetence from the beginning to the end to every single level.
00:44:47.860And now they are in full CYA cover-up mode.
00:44:51.820Now, are they covering up the grand conspiracy or are they covering up the gross incompetence?
00:44:56.080I don't know, but that's what they're doing because there is absolutely no reason whatsoever why the FBI cannot be doing a press conference every day and saying this is what we found so far.
00:45:05.040This is what we've learned to take away some of these conspiracies.
00:45:08.300This is how many shell casings were on the roof.
00:45:10.500These are not classified top secret things.
00:45:14.780These are not hidden classified investigative techniques.
00:45:19.420This is old world gumshoe work that they're doing right now.
00:45:23.180And there's no reason they cannot be telling us what they're finding.
00:45:26.080Have you heard that somebody was wearing a gray suit, went up, took photographs of the scene, came down, and they thought it was FBI or Secret Service, and he said, send this to the ATF?
00:45:42.480And that the ATF is somehow involved in this.
00:45:45.340Yeah, I've not been able to identify that yet, but having multiple agents on the ground or multiple representatives from multiple three-letter agencies is not uncommon, particularly in this time of year.
00:45:58.060Every four years, the Secret Service is spread very thin.
00:46:02.460We have two conventions that are up there providing the advance protection, security, sweeping, all of those things that were going on, are supposed to be going on, both in Milwaukee and in Chicago.
00:46:11.640And then you have multiple candidates, so they're spread out.
00:46:14.320And then, of course, you know, Jill Biden was just there 30 miles away in Pittsburgh that day.
00:46:19.240So when they are, they call in tactical groups and representatives and security people from other three-letter agencies to help supplement.
00:46:27.460So it's not uncommon that they were there, but they certainly shouldn't be taking the lead on this, not by any means.
00:46:33.420And what about the slope of the roof, Steve, and them deciding that it was too dangerous for an agent to be up there?
00:46:41.920If that's the case, if you really are afraid somebody's going to roll off the roof with a 3% grade slope, don't you position?
00:47:03.940The first failure is that the advanced teams that come in, they do what they call they wedge all the access points.
00:47:10.420So in other words, if it's a rally downtown, they weld all the manhole covers.
00:47:16.520They actually put plywood on unmovable ladders.
00:47:20.660They cover them up with plywood so that nobody can climb up a ladder.
00:47:23.860If they're a removable ladder, they get removed.
00:47:26.180All of these things that were supposed to have been done that day have not been done.
00:47:30.520Now, and of course, look, again, I say, why don't we know on a daily basis?
00:47:37.960They don't have to go into the failures right now, but the FBI, having taken over this investigation, needs to be telling us exactly every single day, this is what happened.
00:47:49.580If you don't think they don't know every step he took, you're crazy.
00:47:52.520They have geofencing on his cell phone.
00:47:53.920They know every step he took that day, and there were what they call massed cameras there.
00:48:01.440We don't have confirmation yet that there were drones or that there were helicopter cameras, but we do have overhead shots of the kid coming from somewhere, from somebody's camera, and it wasn't somebody with their cell phone 3,000 feet in the air.
00:48:15.640Thank you so much for everything that you do, Steve.
