00:00:00.000 Great program today if you are fighting against inflation.

00:00:03.740 We went right to the experts at CNBC and got their advice on how you can save money.

00:00:10.220 Because the average person now is being affected by about $300 extra every month just from inflation.

00:00:18.940 And so we tell you all about which footman to get rid of.

00:00:25.380 And then we have a real expert.

00:00:26.900 We have Dave Ramsey on with us.

00:00:30.140 Talk to him.

00:00:51.140 The book is, of course, The Great Reset and is available at bookstores everywhere.

00:01:00.000 So CNBC wants you to know that inflation is costing the average U.S. household an additional $296 a month.

00:01:17.120 The figure is based on the latest reading of consumer prices, which rose 7.9%.

00:01:23.580 By the way, if we just let's stop.

00:01:25.900 Let's stop saying, you know, this is this is going to be as bad as it was in the 1970s and 80s with with Jimmy Carter.

00:01:34.460 It already is.

00:01:36.400 It already is.

00:01:37.900 If you take the inflation and calculate it the way we did back then, that way you're comparing apples and apples.

00:01:48.160 We're at 15.6% inflation.

00:01:52.160 That's what we would have said inflation was at if we calculated it the same way we were calculating inflation back then.

00:01:59.560 So it is it's bad.

00:02:02.760 But now we calculated in a much more sophisticated way, 7.6% inflation.

00:02:09.880 All right.

00:02:10.160 Things are going to get worse before it gets better, says Moody's analytics.

00:02:15.360 Pain has felt across the board.

00:02:17.380 Some are feeling it worse than others.

00:02:20.180 Yeah.

00:02:21.600 Who who does inflation hit the hardest?

00:02:25.420 The low and middle income households.

00:02:28.140 That's who's hit the hardest.

00:02:30.700 And $300 a month for the average citizen.

00:02:34.140 That is a lot of money.

00:02:38.000 A separate study by Wells Fargo surprisingly showed the middle class in particular getting squeezed.

00:02:45.960 Inflation was half a point higher for middle income consumers than those at the highest and lowest ends of the spectrum.

00:02:52.460 Well, they've got some they've got some tips here for you.

00:02:56.860 One, plan ahead.

00:03:01.340 Be strategic about the use of your car.

00:03:04.500 If you have to run errands, do them in one trip at a time.

00:03:08.280 So and do it at a time when there's not a lot of traffic.

00:03:11.560 Wow.

00:03:12.420 That comes from a certified financial planner.

00:03:15.940 Plan ahead.

00:03:16.860 Plan ahead.

00:03:17.940 Okay.

00:03:19.000 Tip number two.

00:03:21.380 Shop wisely.

00:03:24.500 You don't need a specific brand.

00:03:27.200 You may save money at a discount grocery store or buy items at bulk like at Costco or BJ's.

00:03:36.440 See, this is this is why we have the press, because I would have never thought of that.

00:03:41.080 Right.

00:03:41.620 I mean, wait a minute.

00:03:42.860 Wait a minute.

00:03:43.280 Wait a minute.

00:03:44.080 Plan ahead.

00:03:45.300 And then buy off brand food.

00:03:49.120 I wow.

00:03:52.260 Then check your budget weekly.

00:03:55.980 Don't do it just by the month.

00:03:58.800 Make sure you're on track.

00:04:01.820 Now, a lot of people do that.

00:04:04.200 Now, they don't call it checking their budget.

00:04:06.060 They count their change as they're starting to get gas.

00:04:09.820 That's, you know.

00:04:11.680 Anyway, watch out.

00:04:13.860 This one.

00:04:14.420 Sit down, America.

00:04:15.820 Watch out for credit card debt.

00:04:21.080 Yeah.

00:04:21.680 What?

00:04:22.300 Yeah.

00:04:22.640 Watch out for that.

00:04:23.440 We're trying to get it as high as possible, right?

00:04:24.940 No, no, no.

00:04:25.640 They say go lower.

00:04:27.560 With the debt.

00:04:28.160 With the debt.

00:04:29.260 And check every week.

00:04:30.200 And check every week.

00:04:31.740 I've been doing this thing where I check in a multi-decade format.

00:04:36.060 I haven't checked my.

00:04:37.080 Every two decades.

00:04:37.600 Yeah.

00:04:37.880 I haven't checked my finances since 1980.

00:04:41.560 Yeah.

00:04:42.100 Do you think they've changed at all?

00:04:43.580 I don't know.

00:04:44.460 I don't know.

00:04:45.220 No, probably not.

00:04:45.520 I don't know.

00:04:46.260 And the last one is mind your retirement savings.

00:04:50.460 What?

00:04:51.000 Yeah.

00:04:51.740 Yeah.

00:04:52.440 Yeah.

00:04:53.080 Yeah.

00:04:53.740 Yeah.

00:04:53.980 I thought you could just retire with nothing in the bank and no one.

00:04:57.280 Actually, these days.

00:04:58.220 No.

00:04:58.560 You can't do it.

00:04:59.240 According to CNBC.

00:05:00.700 Now, there is another idea.

00:05:06.380 The Crowleys have given us an idea as well.

00:05:09.880 And I don't know if you know this, but the Crowleys have been really struggling lately.

00:05:20.920 I don't know.

00:05:21.300 Do you know who the Crowleys are?

00:05:22.840 Because the Crowleys are from Downton Abbey.

00:05:26.980 And they've been struggling.

00:05:28.400 And if I may, tip number one, get rid of the second footman.

00:05:37.040 Okay.

00:05:38.200 That's the second footman?

00:05:40.300 The second footman.

00:05:41.100 How many footmen are you?

00:05:42.440 Do you typically?

00:05:43.580 Well, I don't know.

00:05:44.660 I don't know what the average is for the...

00:05:45.660 I don't know.

00:05:47.000 But if you have more than one footman, you could get rid of that.

00:05:52.160 Now, I hate to say this, but maybe men could do this.

00:05:57.160 Get rid of the valet.

00:05:59.680 The person that dresses you.

00:06:02.300 I think you can dress yourself.

00:06:04.420 I think you can dress yourself.

00:06:06.020 Yeah, I know.

00:06:06.700 I know.

00:06:07.500 I don't know if you want to be the one making this point.

00:06:09.400 Who's going to brush the suit?

00:06:10.900 You know?

00:06:11.240 I don't know.

00:06:11.920 I don't know.

00:06:13.120 That's true.

00:06:13.780 I think that's a good...

00:06:15.300 Yeah.

00:06:15.620 Now, isn't there more than one type of valet valet?

00:06:19.600 Well, one parks your car, but I think that's at restaurants.

00:06:23.180 Okay.

00:06:23.800 Okay.

00:06:24.400 I think this one...

00:06:24.840 Well, I mean...

00:06:25.400 That's the driver's job.

00:06:26.760 Right.

00:06:27.100 Okay, to park the car.

00:06:28.180 So, can you keep the driver?

00:06:29.600 Well, I would.

00:06:30.700 Okay.

00:06:31.000 But I definitely get...

00:06:32.520 I'd consider getting rid of the second footman.

00:06:35.300 Footman.

00:06:35.760 Yeah.

00:06:36.440 And I'm not...

00:06:37.120 What does the footman do exactly?

00:06:38.900 Oh, I don't want to explain it.

00:06:40.500 I mean, it's...

00:06:41.460 It's too in-depth.

00:06:42.480 It's too in-depth.

00:06:43.080 Okay, yeah.

00:06:43.540 We don't have that much time.

00:06:44.700 Yeah.

00:06:45.900 They do things.

00:06:46.600 What does the second footman do?

00:06:47.900 If the first footman, I would assume, is taking care of the footman duties, what is

00:06:50.840 the second footman?

00:06:52.540 Does the extra footman...

00:06:54.060 There's a lot of feet.

00:06:55.260 There's a lot of feet.

00:06:56.680 A lot of feet.

00:06:56.980 There was more feet in that era.

00:06:58.300 Right.

00:06:58.820 So, you know...

00:06:59.880 Many people had three.

00:07:00.680 But now you don't need to do it.

00:07:02.400 So, get rid of the second footman.

00:07:04.400 Wow.

00:07:04.860 And buy your groceries at Costco.

00:07:09.220 So, there you go.

00:07:10.460 This is incredible advice.

00:07:11.840 I love that, too.

00:07:14.560 Because when you have inflation and things cost more, it might be harder to outlay a large

00:07:19.440 amount at one individual time, which is part of the issue here.

00:07:23.340 It's like, you know, when they talk about communities that are affected by predatory loans and lending,

00:07:30.400 they talk about the check cashing stores, the paycheck advance stores, and it's not like those people are like, you know what?

00:07:37.860 I thought I was going for the highest interest rate.

00:07:41.380 That was my plan.

00:07:43.800 That's not how that decision is made.

00:07:45.640 It's the one option because they will give it to you right then when you need it.

00:07:50.000 Yes.

00:07:50.500 So, maybe buying 80 of something is not going to be an option for people who are struggling

00:07:54.940 with this decision.

00:07:56.740 Right?

00:07:57.320 I don't know.

00:07:58.500 You know what I would do?

00:07:59.380 I would just buy all of your food today.

00:08:02.360 For the rest of your life.

00:08:03.660 Yeah.

00:08:04.000 And if...

00:08:04.560 Look, if you want to buy...

00:08:06.100 You know, you're like, Glenn, I don't have the freezer space for all that meat.

00:08:10.040 Then get bigger.

00:08:11.220 Get a big walk-in freezer.

00:08:13.460 Yes.

00:08:13.720 There you go.

00:08:14.580 Really, seriously, have you not watched the Crowleys?

00:08:18.500 They've got one of those things.

00:08:20.180 And they had to bring ice into that.

00:08:22.540 Right.

00:08:23.040 You don't even have to bring ice.

00:08:24.460 Just get one of those big walk-in freezers.

00:08:27.240 Hang a couple of cows in there.

00:08:29.200 What is the problem?

00:08:30.720 What is the problem?

00:08:31.660 It's like these homeless people that whine, oh, there's no place to go.

00:08:35.640 New York is so bad, I have to sleep in the park.

00:08:37.640 There are great hotels.

00:08:39.800 The Waldorf is right there.

00:08:40.840 All around Central Park.

00:08:42.780 What are they thinking?

00:08:43.840 Just go in.

00:08:44.580 What are they thinking?

00:08:46.080 I mean, you don't have to...

00:08:47.200 If you don't want to be extravagant, you don't need the penthouse.

00:08:49.820 We're not saying... 0.86

00:08:50.580 We're not being ridiculous here. 0.90

00:08:51.920 Correct.

00:08:52.460 Just, you know, take a normal room.

00:08:55.000 Right.

00:08:55.360 Maybe a suite.

00:08:56.440 Right.

00:08:57.000 You know?

00:08:57.540 I mean, if there's more than one of you, or if you want to put your shopping cart in a separate room.

00:09:02.800 You know what I mean?

00:09:03.640 Then get a two-bedroom suite.

00:09:05.520 Yeah.

00:09:05.720 It's just these...

00:09:07.040 It's crazy.

00:09:08.640 Those are the people that probably didn't cut their second footman. 0.98

00:09:12.040 Anyway, let's...

00:09:13.500 It's a big problem.

00:09:14.960 You're homeless and hungry.

00:09:16.640 Go to Costco.

00:09:18.040 Yeah.

00:09:19.040 I don't understand.

00:09:20.780 Weren't we just...

00:09:21.520 Weren't we told relatively recently by one Nancy Pelosi... 0.99

00:09:24.660 Yeah.

00:09:25.000 ...that they had designed this new system we were walking into called Obamacare?

00:09:30.300 Uh-huh.

00:09:30.620 Specifically so that people didn't have to work anymore, and they could just do their passions, like music and art.

00:09:37.620 Yeah.

00:09:38.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:09:38.560 They wouldn't have to go to be productive members of society.

00:09:41.360 Right.

00:09:41.440 They could instead be artists.

00:09:43.200 Mm-hmm.

00:09:43.480 Mm-hmm.

00:09:44.100 You know, when Joe Biden was mentioning how expensive insulin was, and we had to do something about...

00:09:52.260 Do you know why?

00:09:53.080 Do you know when the price spiked on insulin?

00:09:56.600 No.

00:09:57.080 Yeah, right after we passed Obamacare.

00:09:59.240 You're kidding me.

00:10:00.060 No.

00:10:00.420 No.

00:10:01.020 It's shocking.

00:10:02.300 Wow.

00:10:02.620 Shocking, yeah.

00:10:03.440 Because that was supposed to lower cost the whole pitch of it.

00:10:05.720 I...

00:10:06.320 What I'd like to suggest is get your insulin from Costco.

00:10:11.160 Mm-hmm.

00:10:11.800 Okay.

00:10:12.180 Or buy all the insulin you'll ever need for the rest of your life today.

00:10:15.400 And put it in a walk-in freezer.

00:10:16.880 Put it in your walk-in freezer you just bought.

00:10:18.800 But cut the second footman.

00:10:20.540 All right.

00:10:21.720 Let me take a quick break, and then I want to come back, and I want to tell you what the latest

00:10:24.900 is on Russia.

00:10:25.760 It's a little dicey, but don't worry.

00:10:31.720 I mean, just remember, wear your mask after the nuclear blast and keep six feet of distance

00:10:39.800 between you and whoever else is cowering under your old school desk.

00:10:45.040 That way you won't get COVID.

00:10:47.480 I mean, you'll be killed by the thyroid pretty quickly, but you won't have COVID on top of it.

00:10:55.760 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

00:11:00.580 Earlier this month, I challenged you to ask Dr. Robert Malone anything censorship-free.

00:11:15.400 Last week, he joined the Glenn Beck podcast with all of his answers on everything from

00:11:20.060 how the mRNA vaccines actually work to why the United States may not be the saints we think

00:11:27.160 they are when it comes to bio-warfare.

00:11:30.080 The podcast was released first, as always, to Blaze TV subscribers, completely uncensored,

00:11:36.240 because it's your support that allows us to bypass the big tech overlords that believe

00:11:42.020 the truth belongs to them.

00:11:44.380 After that, the audio version was released uncensored on Saturday.

00:11:48.740 Wherever you get your podcast, it's the Saturday podcast.

00:11:52.320 And normally, we release the podcast on YouTube, but that's not going to happen.

00:11:57.640 No.

00:11:59.120 So, if you are still not ready to make the leap to Blaze TV,

00:12:03.020 you can watch my full podcast with Dr. Malone on Rumble at rumble.com slash Glenn Beck.

00:12:10.160 See that there.

00:12:11.380 Also, tomorrow, a very important show.

00:12:13.860 It seems like it is out of date, but it is not.

00:12:17.680 It goes into everything, the corruption that is happening and the tools,

00:12:23.940 the way you are being used and people are taking money away from you to use it against you.

00:12:35.920 We have the truth on BLM.

00:12:38.360 Where'd that money go?

00:12:40.600 It's a really interesting look.

00:12:42.580 That's tomorrow night on Blaze TV.

00:12:46.660 Okay.

00:12:47.260 So, we also have Dave Ramsey coming up in just a minute.

00:12:51.800 He's going to give us a couple of tips on what can we do.

00:12:57.760 Is he against the second footman as well?

00:12:59.940 I hope he's not going to tell us to.

00:13:01.100 I think he's got at least three footmen.

00:13:02.840 Okay.

00:13:03.240 You know, and they still run in front of his car.

00:13:05.340 Really?

00:13:05.560 Yeah.

00:13:06.040 Yeah.

00:13:06.200 Wow.

00:13:06.740 Hard on the freeway.

00:13:08.040 Yeah.

00:13:08.200 He's lost a lot of footmen.

00:13:09.520 Yeah.

00:13:10.020 It happens.

00:13:10.920 You got to replace him.

00:13:12.300 That's why they make more.

00:13:13.980 Yeah.

00:13:14.240 So, we'll have him on.

00:13:15.360 And I love this.

00:13:17.000 People are trying to get us to fight over, you know, I don't even know what.

00:13:24.160 But he doesn't buy into the Great Reset.

00:13:26.700 And, okay.

00:13:29.300 Okay.

00:13:29.980 I'd like to talk to him about that.

00:13:31.800 But, really, political stuff is not what Dave does.

00:13:37.980 Financial stuff is what Dave does.

00:13:39.680 And that's why I always say, don't listen to me at all about anything on finances.

00:13:45.420 Because you'll be broke.

00:13:47.960 I mean, you know, I am the worst at that.

00:13:50.820 I'm not qualified to tell you that.

00:13:53.380 I don't study it.

00:13:54.340 I don't follow it.

00:13:55.240 I have no idea.

00:13:56.700 So, we'll have him on as an expert on that coming up in just a second.

00:14:02.620 Now, there's a couple of things here that you should know.

00:14:08.220 Minsk and Moscow have agreed to restructure payments on Russian loans.

00:14:15.140 Now, the Belarusian, is that right?

00:14:18.800 Belarusian prime minister?

00:14:19.720 I've heard Belarusian.

00:14:21.120 I've heard Belarus and then Belarusian.

00:14:23.940 I don't know why.

00:14:24.780 I think they should make up their mind.

00:14:26.000 I think Belarusian sounds better.

00:14:28.380 But I keep hearing Belarusian.

00:14:29.560 Let me ask you this.

00:14:30.680 Let me ask you this.

00:14:31.540 We're never going to talk about this country ever again.

00:14:34.920 Does it matter?

00:14:36.140 The prime minister from that one country that's helping Russia out has restructured their loans.

00:14:43.580 They are going to take all of the foreign currencies that they have and change them over to Russian rubles.

00:14:52.180 So, now they are going to be using Russian rubles to pay everything off.

00:14:59.160 That gets them away from the U.S. dollar.

00:15:01.220 This is something you're going to start to see more and more of in that block.

00:15:05.380 And I think that block is going to be from China and up north, Russia, I think through the Middle East and much of Africa, because it'll have to. 0.94

00:15:17.340 They owe everything to China.

00:15:18.680 China and and possibly some countries in South America.

00:15:25.020 You know, you'll have Venezuela and Cuba for sure.

00:15:28.920 But you're going to start to see the world going away from the dollar because we are making an axis and allied power.

00:15:36.840 And that is going to affect us.

00:15:39.080 So, I think some people would argue that they're coming toward it.

00:15:41.660 Right.

00:15:42.820 There's been a lot of uniting against Russia here.

00:15:47.900 But you're saying it's going to split more.

00:15:48.940 That's the great reset.

00:15:49.560 This two like bipolar sort of situation.

00:15:52.580 Bipolar in the United States is not going to be is not going to be the United States. 0.60

00:15:56.560 We're not going to be the leader of it.

00:15:58.280 It is going to be, you know, half world government.

00:16:02.240 It'll be the Western world against the Eastern world. 0.99

00:16:06.700 That's just the way it's going to be.

00:16:08.420 China is going to be leading it. 0.98

00:16:10.620 But I don't think we're going to be leading it for very long.

00:16:14.760 Anyway, China is expanding their use of coal now because they say they have to be secure in their energy.

00:16:23.800 Secure with energy.

00:16:31.640 Commies. 1.00

00:16:32.540 Oh, what a bunch of dopes they are. 1.00

00:16:35.900 Meanwhile, Russia has new airplanes to fly. 0.95

00:16:40.600 You know, Aeroflot is a is not necessarily an aircraft that I would want to fly or an airline that I'd want to fly on.

00:16:48.100 And, you know, especially when you can get a good Boeing plane or something like that.

00:16:53.980 But they have them now.

00:16:56.200 In fact, they have now 10 billion dollars worth of new airplanes because we left them there.

00:17:04.280 And when we said we're we got to get all of our people out and we're not going to fly anybody anywhere.

00:17:11.540 The Russians have now just claimed that whole fleet as theirs.

00:17:16.700 Same thing with McDonald's.

00:17:17.960 You hear about the fat man that chained himself to McDonald's?

00:17:20.240 I'm only saying that because, I mean, he was morbidly obese and I can say that because technically and I like to use the phrase first.

00:17:30.680 Technically, I'm morbidly obese as well.

00:17:34.300 But technically, like 80 percent of America is morbidly obese.

00:17:40.660 We're I mean, we're a little heavy.

00:17:44.320 Anyway, he chained himself to the McDonald's and said, you can't close my McDonald's more like this.

00:17:52.720 You cannot take my McDonald's hamburgers away.

00:17:57.080 And they did.

00:17:58.320 We left. 0.97

00:17:59.740 The clown has vacated. 0.95

00:18:01.900 I've had trouble relating to the Russians throughout this crisis. 0.97

00:18:05.000 But that part really hit me.

00:18:06.420 I do.

00:18:06.960 I felt I felt I felt I felt it.

00:18:08.820 I did.

00:18:09.340 That's exactly what I would have done.

00:18:10.460 I mean, there are things that you're look.

00:18:12.900 McDonald's bad for you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:18:16.020 Sure.

00:18:16.960 However, there are times that you drive by McDonald's.

00:18:19.620 You're like, there is nothing that will replace that.

00:18:22.840 There is there are times I must have McDonald's.

00:18:27.440 OK, now we've done this to the Russians. 0.99

00:18:30.340 So what did Vladimir Putin say?

00:18:32.880 Hey, McDonald's.

00:18:34.000 Fine.

00:18:34.460 You leave.

00:18:35.620 That's fine.

00:18:36.140 We now own all the McDonald's and we know how to make the Big Mac.

00:18:43.760 And they say we don't care about trademarks, copyrights, anything.

00:18:47.600 They now belong to us.

00:18:49.100 We will be opening it.

00:18:50.720 And this is one reason why you don't want to do this quickly.

00:18:54.140 I mean, McDonald's.

00:18:55.140 Look at the cost to McDonald's and the pork kernel.

00:18:57.960 I mean, if he left the secret herbs and spices behind, they're no longer secret.

00:19:03.060 They're out.

00:19:04.360 They're out.

00:19:05.740 Unless we can send some special forces over into all the KFCs and just off all the Russians 1.00

00:19:13.180 that are there that might know the secret herbs and spices.

00:19:17.220 Meanwhile, as the world continues to change, the Apple supplier Foxconn, which I love, I

00:19:26.340 love these guys, man, when they take those Chinese slaves and just chain them to the, you 1.00

00:19:34.500 know, the the conveyor belt so they can just keep making whatever it is they're making.

00:19:40.040 I love it.

00:19:41.700 So Foxconn now in talks to build a nine billion dollar factory in Saudi Arabia.

00:19:50.760 Yes, Saudi Arabia has a hard time.

00:19:53.220 Now, you're going to find this hard to believe has a hard time getting international businesses

00:19:57.220 to build giant factories.

00:19:59.040 There might have a little something to do with 81 executions over the weekend.

00:20:02.860 But why quibble?

00:20:04.940 You know, OK, 81 zero.

00:20:07.320 What's the difference?

00:20:08.280 Uh, and so they're building a nine billion dollar factory in Saudi Arabia again, that

00:20:14.960 is just strengthening this new alliance.

00:20:19.280 I think you're going to see Saudi Arabia.

00:20:21.760 I think you're going to see India go towards China as well.

00:20:27.420 Uh, and they will start using the Chinese dollar, which will be a digital programmable dollar.

00:20:38.920 And, uh, they'll be able to have their little social, you know, justice thing with everybody

00:20:44.240 else, the social credit score with everyone from Saudi Arabia all the way through China

00:20:49.700 and Russia.

00:20:50.660 But don't worry, you're not going to be left out.

00:20:53.880 We'll have our own social credit score here on a Fed dollar soon.

00:20:59.580 And that will be fantastic.

00:21:03.660 Fantastic.

00:21:05.240 Well, the reason why I say it's fantastic is because they will have knockoff quarter pounders 1.00

00:21:12.700 with cheese.

00:21:13.640 We'll have the real deal here.

00:21:15.700 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:21:25.000 Welcome to the studio.

00:21:26.160 Joe Kent.

00:21:26.900 How are you?

00:21:27.540 I'm doing well.

00:21:28.040 Thanks for having me.

00:21:28.660 So you are running in the third district of Washington, which is right across the river

00:21:35.100 from Portland.

00:21:36.100 Yep.

00:21:36.460 That's it.

00:21:37.440 Wow.

00:21:38.280 And it is Republican.

00:21:41.240 It is.

00:21:41.840 We are solidly Republican district, believe it or not.

00:21:43.780 So Vancouver is essentially a suburb of Portland shared economies.

00:21:46.820 A lot of folks commute into, into Portland, Oregon.

00:21:49.100 However, our politics have remained very red.

00:21:51.060 We're R plus 11.

00:21:52.080 You get out of the city and we're in the heart of timber country or one of two congressional

00:21:55.660 districts that actually touches the Pacific ocean that are red.

00:21:58.640 Wow.

00:21:59.520 Uh, that is, that's remarkable.

00:22:01.020 I mean, I, I grew up in the Seattle area and, uh, there ain't anything left that seems

00:22:06.560 conservative and you are not, uh, you're not a rhino Republican. 0.80

00:22:12.400 Tell me what you stand for.

00:22:13.760 Tell me why you're running. 0.77

00:22:14.700 Cause that's, I mean, might as well strap a suicide vest on that's craziness.

00:22:18.900 Yeah.

00:22:19.060 So I never intended on going into politics, serving the military for a little over 20 years

00:22:22.540 as a green Bray, uh, deployed 11 times to combat for this country, uh, served for about

00:22:27.000 a year after I got out of special forces in the CIA as a paramilitary operations officer.

00:22:31.260 Intended on just staying, uh, overseas fighting our nation's wars.

00:22:34.520 I thought that was my life calling.

00:22:35.840 Uh, my late wife was also in the military.

00:22:37.900 She was killed fighting ISIS in Syria about a month after Trump tried to get our troops

00:22:41.880 out the first time.

00:22:42.800 So I stepped aside from, uh, government service at that point intended on just coming back

00:22:47.360 to the Pacific Northwest, raising my kids where I grew up, trying to focus on that,

00:22:51.060 had a brief chance to meet president Trump.

00:22:52.960 And I told him that, Hey, you're, you're getting the foreign policy right in a way that

00:22:55.980 none of the experts have you, you're nailing it, but you're getting thwarted at the

00:22:59.600 mid to senior levels in a way that I had never seen before.

00:23:01.800 I came in under, under Clinton, served through Bush and Obama, the transitions of powers that

00:23:06.380 we, we see there, they're normally very routine.

00:23:08.340 The government services are supposed to serve the commander in chief and the constitution.

00:23:11.720 When Trump came in, there was a culture that changed overnight and mid to senior level

00:23:16.300 leaders had no problems, you know, saying bad things about the president and really even

00:23:19.540 going against his orders.

00:23:20.500 And so my wife was killed the month after Trump gave the order to get our troops out.

00:23:24.780 And that's when Jim Mattis, Brett McGurk, a bunch of other elected bureaucrats drug their

00:23:28.380 feet to leave our troops there.

00:23:29.820 And so I wanted to tell him, you know, what I'd seen on the ground level.

00:23:32.700 I thought nothing else would come from it, but I developed a relationship with the Trump

00:23:35.920 administration, worked heavily on the Trump 2020 campaign at the same time was moving

00:23:39.540 back to the Pacific Northwest where I grew up, I actually grew up in Portland.

00:23:42.220 And then I watched that whole area just get, you know, the, the draconian COVID lockdowns

00:23:46.840 that took away our first amendment rights, took away our ability to send our kids to 0.53

00:23:49.560 schools and then the riots kicked off.

00:23:51.560 And I watched Antifa and BLM, you know, weaponize this violence for their political ends.

00:23:56.080 How does anyone there live there and, and not say, okay, enough is enough.

00:24:02.320 How, how does that happen?

00:24:04.100 What, what is the thinking?

00:24:06.100 Combination of fear.

00:24:07.320 And I think just good and good, good intentions, paving the road to hell.

00:24:11.380 Truly.

00:24:11.800 I mean, I think there's a lot of decent people there that lean left and it's become their

00:24:15.760 entire identity.

00:24:16.680 And then when they see what they're told on the media is righteous and just causes like

00:24:21.600 BLM or Antifa fighting against the fascism, when they see that they will not, they will

00:24:26.540 look past all of the violence is absolutely destroying their cities.

00:24:29.580 And how many people, I think after years of this, they're, they're finally leaving, they're

00:24:33.420 moving out.

00:24:33.940 A lot of the businesses leaving.

00:24:35.280 Although some people still haven't come to that political reckoning.

00:24:37.520 I decided to get out of there and move over to the third district to get my kids away

00:24:41.460 from that.

00:24:41.740 Cause that's not where I wanted to raise them when I, when I saw that your average citizen

00:24:45.160 there was either too scared to speak out against it.

00:24:48.240 Cause they didn't want to get, they didn't want to be labeled as a racist or pro fascist.

00:24:52.880 Um, or they were just, you know, paralyzed by fear.

00:24:55.420 They didn't want to, they didn't want to say anything because I think Americans were lucky.

00:24:58.300 We're sheltered.

00:24:59.000 We don't understand what violence on our streets looks like.

00:25:01.660 And that has a power.

00:25:02.740 It really does.

00:25:03.480 It's a tragic thing.

00:25:04.520 But the way that Antifa weaponized that violence to create this environment of fear, just seeing

00:25:10.320 that I knew I had to get my kids over to a more conservative district.

00:25:13.860 So you were talking about, uh, president Trump and, and making the right calls, um, uh, on

00:25:19.960 the, you know, on the ground and, and, uh, and foreign policy that I just saw a, uh, just

00:25:25.960 saw a story about Saudi Arabia.

00:25:27.860 Uh, listen to this Saudi Arabian active talks with Beijing to price some of its oil sales,

00:25:33.480 uh, to China in one people familiar with the matter said the talks in China and over one

00:25:39.880 priced oil contracts have been off and on for six years, but have accelerated this year as

00:25:45.600 the Saudis are growing increasingly unhappy with, uh, the United States.

00:25:50.860 The Saudis are angry over the U S's lack of support for their intervention in the Yemen

00:25:56.080 civil war.

00:25:57.100 That was 2014, 2015.

00:25:59.960 Then the Biden administration's attempt to strike a deal with Iran over the nuclear program

00:26:04.580 that's going on now.

00:26:05.660 And Saudi officials say they were shocked by the U S withdrawal from Afghanistan last year.

00:26:13.240 We, we are undoing every, every bit of good that Donald Trump did around the world.

00:26:20.940 Um, because the left and the media refuse to recognize it as a good thing.

00:26:27.320 Um, and we are now pushing China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, everybody to the other side. 0.77

00:26:36.840 We, we are becoming a world, a world that's going to be at war with the China influence. 1.00

00:26:44.720 And I don't even know the Western influence.

00:26:48.040 I don't even know if it'll be American influence, right?

00:26:50.520 We essentially handed our entire economy to China who has been very open about the fact 1.00

00:26:54.660 that they're in an economic war with us.

00:26:56.080 We shipped our manufacturing base over there.

00:26:58.000 And then we've had this reckless policy of printing more money, the quantitative easing,

00:27:02.060 whatever you want to call it.

00:27:02.960 And then us not having an actual manufacturing base.

00:27:05.260 And this is where I think president Trump, when he came on the scene, he was an assault to

00:27:08.380 the corporate ruling class.

00:27:09.340 He said, he wanted to bring our jobs back, seal off our borders, get us out of these needless 1.00

00:27:13.380 foreign wars and focus on putting America first.

00:27:15.920 And that's really why I think you saw a much stronger and more realistic foreign policy that

00:27:19.920 didn't involve us bleeding out on the far reaches of the world during the Trump administration.

00:27:24.740 But Biden and these globalists, they are very much part of this system that want to,

00:27:29.040 using air quotes, expand democracy.

00:27:31.220 They want to expand our, our influence that way.

00:27:33.440 The Bush, the Bushites wanted to do it through a barrel of a gun, but these guys want to do it

00:27:36.580 through non-governmental organizations, through the state department, and really not focus

00:27:40.420 on our economy.

00:27:41.580 They benefit from the Chinese having this much power. 1.00

00:27:45.140 And the Chinese have done a great job of buying off our elites, buying into major hedge funds. 0.99

00:27:49.260 And this is just this acceleration that we're seeing to take away the sovereignty of America

00:27:54.320 and really of every sovereign nation state that's willing to stand up.

00:27:57.080 And the way we're pushing the Russians, I think is extremely reckless. 0.99

00:28:00.580 Why do you say that?

00:28:01.720 Because the Russians, we do not want the Russians as bad as Putin is.

00:28:05.460 We don't want them close with China, because if they start developing this alternative system 1.00

00:28:10.360 that backs, that relies on the Yuan, and they are, we kick them off swift. 0.98

00:28:14.120 We have all these draconian sanctions against them.

00:28:15.880 And then we say that we don't even want to negotiate.

00:28:17.540 We're going to continue to arm your enemies that are right on your border.

00:28:21.080 This, this NATO expansion that everybody who had anything to do with containment prior

00:28:25.520 to the Biden administration, even going back to George Cannon and the end of the Cold

00:28:28.820 War, they said, this is a disaster.

00:28:30.740 Don't threaten Russia like this.

00:28:32.240 This is what will happen.

00:28:33.160 You know, it's really frightening to look at what we've done to Russia just in the banking

00:28:39.780 system.

00:28:40.520 Yeah.

00:28:41.120 They have the money because we haven't really cut off their oil supply.

00:28:45.640 They have the money to meet their bills.

00:28:49.620 We've we have banks that are holding all of their dollars and their treasuries.

00:28:56.740 And we're saying, oh, we won't accept your payment in rubles.

00:29:01.320 Well, wait a minute.

00:29:03.220 We have the money.

00:29:04.700 Just let us exchange it.

00:29:06.300 So we don't default on that.

00:29:07.980 Yeah.

00:29:08.200 We're talking about now putting them in default just because we won't change their money from

00:29:16.180 rubles.

00:29:16.780 That means that their money in any kind of central bank, any kind of bond outside of a

00:29:24.020 country they trust or their own is worthless.

00:29:27.220 And we're not just teaching it to them.

00:29:29.020 We're teaching it to the whole world.

00:29:30.620 We are.

00:29:31.260 And the Chinese are right there waiting. 0.99

00:29:32.780 This is what China does. 0.98

00:29:33.580 They offer a decent financial transaction, a financial deal.

00:29:36.140 They say, hey, we'll back up your currency.

00:29:38.400 You can do business with us.

00:29:39.540 And then now we're just seeing this massive consolidation of Saudi Arabia with Iran.

00:29:43.640 They're making inroads with India as well.

00:29:45.980 They're trying to consolidate the Eurasia landmass.

00:29:48.300 And that's absolutely catastrophic.

00:29:49.820 And then it's going to be all at the behest of the Chinese Communist Party, who not only

00:29:53.600 is in an economic war with us, but we rely on them to buy off our debt bonds and for our

00:29:58.000 manufacturing base.

00:29:59.000 So I fear that we're approaching essentially because we've taken our eye off the ball with

00:30:03.200 putting our country first, our economy first.

00:30:05.020 We're on these foreign interventions.

00:30:06.260 I think we're heading for a financial Pearl Harbor when China says, actually, the Yuan

00:30:10.160 is the new prime reserve currency holder and we're not buying your debt bonds anymore.

00:30:13.200 Right.

00:30:13.580 Then we're Argentina.

00:30:14.520 Yeah.

00:30:16.180 Let me ask you about the Great Reset.

00:30:17.740 What do you know about it?

00:30:18.820 What are your thoughts on ESG and what should be done?

00:30:21.940 I think we have to get very aggressive.

00:30:23.840 I think the whole ESG system, I think the amount of control that Wall Street and the global

00:30:28.340 elites have over our economy and just as dependent as we are on these other countries, especially 0.99

00:30:34.460 China, we have to stop that. 1.00

00:30:36.160 We have to get on a wartime footing to bring back our manufacturing.

00:30:39.080 I think we're going to have to go after a ton of our elite that are at the top of the

00:30:42.440 food chain of Wall Street.

00:30:43.780 And this is not common Republican talk.

00:30:45.880 This is a nationalist policy that's going to make the great endeavor of our generation

00:30:50.100 to become independent manufacturing back home, our energy back home, not bleeding out on

00:30:55.900 foreign battlefields, but then really making sure that we can stand alone without the 0.99

00:31:00.860 reliance of China.

00:31:02.240 That won't happen with an ESG score and the banks that we have.

00:31:07.560 And these banks, we have bailed them out and bailed them out.

00:31:11.080 We're still bailing.

00:31:12.120 We don't know which one.

00:31:13.660 Right.

00:31:13.840 But one bank is in a in a close to failing position.

00:31:18.800 They won't tell us which one.

00:31:20.560 One hundred and fifty billion dollars last week in a bailout.

00:31:24.740 And we don't know who it is, but it's one of our banks.

00:31:27.520 We continue to do this and they are taking that money and using it against true American 0.74

00:31:35.280 interests.

00:31:36.120 Yeah, they're taking our pension fund money and they're using it to bail out the China 1.00

00:31:39.600 of their housing bubble, their issues when they're not taking it and buying up housing

00:31:44.100 to drive the housing market up to price Americans out of being where do you stand on on, you

00:31:48.980 know, climate change and, you know, our use of oil and all of that.

00:31:54.800 I think we need to use our what we have we're blessed with in America to make ourselves

00:31:59.080 independent.

00:31:59.560 If that's fossil fuels, if that's fracking, then then so be it.

00:32:03.240 If we want to also explore green energy and all those types of solutions, that's fine.

00:32:07.820 Let's do that.

00:32:08.720 But let's not, you know, chop off our nose to spite our face.

00:32:11.700 Let's not say that we have to go automatically to this green electric car based system right

00:32:17.020 now while we could be using fossil fuels.

00:32:19.140 Plus, I mean, the vast majority of the materials that go to the battery powered cars and all

00:32:23.880 that, we don't harvest them here in America.

00:32:25.920 Once again, we're relying on the Chinese Communist Party, that Build Back Better plan that was 0.98

00:32:30.140 almost passed because Republicans caved, Joe Manchin and Christian Sinema are the ones

00:32:33.980 that saved us.

00:32:34.460 Yeah, I know.

00:32:35.000 But that thing on its first pass was like, I think, 300 to 350 billion dollars just for

00:32:39.820 the electric vehicle charging stations and all that materials coming from China.

00:32:43.900 We're talking to Joe Kent.

00:32:46.520 He's running for Congress.

00:32:48.420 Joe Kent for Congress dot com.

00:32:51.220 He is a Republican out of Washington state.

00:32:54.380 I talked to President Trump about, you know, when he first said the deep state stuff, it

00:33:01.300 made me uncomfortable because it sounds conspiratorial.

00:33:04.520 What he means is just the bureaucracy that doesn't care who's president.

00:33:09.760 They're doing what they're going to do.

00:33:11.720 And he's right on that.

00:33:13.480 I didn't realize how deep that went.

00:33:17.940 But I told the I told the president, if you run and if you win, you're going to have to

00:33:25.140 almost shut down all of those agencies.

00:33:28.220 You have to just clean house.

00:33:29.500 Everybody, you're all out.

00:33:31.020 Yep.

00:33:31.780 And he said, I can't do it with a mealy mouthed Republican Party.

00:33:36.620 That's right.

00:33:38.840 How do you view the deep state in this bureaucracy that's everywhere?

00:33:44.260 Bringing the administrative state, the deep state, the permanent ruling class to heal.

00:33:47.580 I think has to be one of our number one priorities, especially we can start that when we take

00:33:51.560 back the House next year using the power of oversight.

00:33:54.640 We can really go after the intelligence community.

00:33:56.440 We can go after the Justice Department January 6th, sending the counterterrorism task force

00:34:00.640 to school boards to target parents.

00:34:02.300 That's a great place to start.

00:34:03.520 So is all the abuses of FISA that took place in the last administration going after the NSA

00:34:07.600 and the CIA.

00:34:08.620 These are very powerful institutions that should be protecting American citizens and protecting

00:34:12.240 U.S. interests.

00:34:13.020 Do you think that targeted?

00:34:14.100 Do you think there's enough Republicans that will do that?

00:34:18.480 I think if there's not, we have to start shaming them.

00:34:20.740 I mean, we have the power of oversight is powerful.

00:34:22.820 I mean, Congress and the Senate could be getting to the bottom of a lot of this.

00:34:26.240 And that's something that's a good use of our time when we have a Democrat president.

00:34:30.180 We can't pass legislation, right?

00:34:31.720 He's not going to sign any of it.

00:34:33.000 So we can kill off his agenda.

00:34:34.920 I think we should do that. 0.89

00:34:35.700 I think we should impeach him as well.

00:34:36.700 But we can also be using oversight to get to the bottom of all these issues, especially

00:34:41.080 the deep state, the administrative state.

00:34:43.220 That's absolutely essential.

00:34:44.160 And then when we get President Trump back in office, I think he's going to run.

00:34:46.620 I think he's going to win.

00:34:47.400 We have to be ready with an army of presidential appointees that we've vetted, that we know are

00:34:51.760 ideologically aligned with us to go in there.

00:34:54.160 And then we have to pass real legislation that allows the president to fire members of the

00:34:58.980 federal government that aren't working at his behest.

00:35:01.040 And then also, if any policy is going to be made, we have to have actual presidential

00:35:05.520 appointees in there, part of that decision-making process to ensure the will of the American

00:35:10.320 people is being served in the executive branch.

00:35:12.760 I don't want to do anything to strengthen the executive branch even more without Congress.

00:35:18.760 But we got to get Congress back into the game.

00:35:24.380 They just ceded all their power.

00:35:27.160 Congress needs to be making the laws, not these agencies.

00:35:31.740 One quick question.

00:35:33.260 We got about a minute.

00:35:35.940 How's your soul?

00:35:38.520 It's been tested a lot in my life, but it's strong.

00:35:41.020 I got a strong family, strong faith.

00:35:42.960 So I feel like this is a critical fight for our country.

00:35:45.740 I have two young sons.

00:35:46.680 And you know what you're walking into.

00:35:48.380 I mean, because I talk to people who, like you, they think they know what they're walking

00:35:53.400 into.

00:35:53.720 And then they get there and they call me six months later and go, oh, my God.

00:35:57.740 I just had somebody call me who I really respect who said, the spirit of God, the spirit of

00:36:05.620 decency is gone.

00:36:08.260 It's like it's an evil kind of feeling in Washington, D.C. right now.

00:36:14.320 There's no spirit.

00:36:16.360 Yeah, no, I think that's tragically right.

00:36:18.820 I mean, I'm ready for the fight because I think if we don't take it back, then we're gone.

00:36:23.140 We're toast.

00:36:23.600 Then we lose the world.

00:36:24.340 Yeah.

00:36:24.780 Thank you so much.

00:36:25.800 His name is Joe Kent.

00:36:28.300 It's Joe Kent for Congress.

00:36:29.800 That's right.

00:36:30.160 Joe Kent for Congress.com.

00:36:31.120 Okay.

00:36:31.420 Thank you very much, Joe.

00:36:32.160 Thank you.
