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.
00:00:31.280
And so much more on today's program that you don't want to miss.
00:00:34.800
BlazeTV.com slash Glenn to subscribe to BlazeTV as well.
00:00:41.920
And GlennBeck.com is the place to go to get all your information on the show.
00:00:47.280
You can also go to Glenn's new book or his new book.
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%.
00:01:25.900
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.
00:01:37.900
If you take the inflation and calculate it the way we did back then, that way you're comparing apples and apples.
00:01:52.160
That's what we would have said inflation was at if we calculated it the same way we were calculating inflation back then.
00:02:02.760
But now we calculated in a much more sophisticated way, 7.6% inflation.
00:02:10.160
Things are going to get worse before it gets better, says Moody's analytics.
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.
00:03:04.500
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.
00:03:27.200
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.
00:04:06.060
They count their change as they're starting to get gas.
00:04:23.440
We're trying to get it as high as possible, right?
00:04:31.740
I've been doing this thing where I check in a multi-decade format.
00:04:46.260
And the last one is mind your retirement savings.
00:04:53.980
I thought you could just retire with nothing in the bank and no one.
00:05:09.880
And I don't know if you know this, but the Crowleys have been really struggling lately.
00:05:28.400
And if I may, tip number one, get rid of the second footman.
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.
00:06:07.500
I don't know if you want to be the one making this point.
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.
00:06:32.520
I'd consider getting rid of the second footman.
00:06:47.900
If the first footman, I would assume, is taking care of the footman duties, what is
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.
00:07:45.640
It's the one option because they will give it to you right then when you need it.
00:07:50.500
So, maybe buying 80 of something is not going to be an option for people who are struggling
00:08:06.100
You know, you're like, Glenn, I don't have the freezer space for all that meat.
00:08:14.580
Really, seriously, have you not watched the Crowleys?
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.
00:08:47.200
If you don't want to be extravagant, you don't need the penthouse.
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.
00:09:08.640
Those are the people that probably didn't cut their second footman.
00:09:21.520
Weren't we told relatively recently by one Nancy Pelosi...
00:09:25.000
...that they had designed this new system we were walking into called Obamacare?
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.
00:09:38.560
They wouldn't have to go to be productive members of society.
00:09:44.100
You know, when Joe Biden was mentioning how expensive insulin was, and we had to do something about...
00:10:03.440
Because that was supposed to lower cost the whole pitch of it.
00:10:06.320
What I'd like to suggest is get your insulin from Costco.
00:10:12.180
Or buy all the insulin you'll ever need for the rest of your life today.
00:10:16.880
Put it in your walk-in freezer you just bought.
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
00:10:31.720
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.
00:10:47.480
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
00:11:30.080
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
00:11:44.380
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.
00:11:59.120
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.
00:12:13.860
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.
00:12:47.260
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.
00:13:03.240
You know, and they still run in front of his car.
00:13:17.000
People are trying to get us to fight over, you know, I don't even know what.
00:13:31.800
But, really, political stuff is not 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.
00:13:56.700
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.
00:14:31.540
We're never going to talk about this country ever again.
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.
00:15:01.220
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.
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.
00:15:39.080
So, I think some people would argue that they're coming toward it.
00:15:42.820
There's been a lot of uniting against Russia here.
00:15:52.580
Bipolar in the United States is not going to be is not going to be the United States.
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.
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.
00:16:40.600
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.
00:16:56.200
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.
00:17:17.960
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.
00:17:34.300
But technically, like 80 percent of America is morbidly obese.
00:17:44.320
Anyway, he chained himself to the McDonald's and said, you can't close my McDonald's more like this.
00:18:01.900
I've had trouble relating to the Russians throughout this crisis.
00:18:12.900
McDonald's bad for you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
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.
00:18:36.140
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.
00:18:50.720
And this is one reason why you don't want to do this quickly.
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.
00:19:05.740
Unless we can send some special forces over into all the KFCs and just off all the Russians
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
00:19:34.500
know, the the conveyor belt so they can just keep making whatever it is they're making.
00:19:41.700
So Foxconn now in talks to build a nine billion dollar factory in Saudi Arabia.
00:19:53.220
Now, you're going to find this hard to believe has a hard time getting international businesses
00:19:59.040
There might have a little something to do with 81 executions over the weekend.
00:20:08.280
Uh, and so they're building a nine billion dollar factory in Saudi Arabia again, that
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
00:20:50.660
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.
00:21:05.240
Well, the reason why I say it's fantastic is because they will have knockoff quarter pounders
00:21:28.660
So you are running in the third district of Washington, which is right across the river
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.
00:21:52.080
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.
00:22:01.020
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.
00:22:14.700
Cause that's, I mean, might as well strap a suicide vest on that's craziness.
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.
00:22:37.900
She was killed fighting ISIS in Syria about a month after Trump tried to get our troops
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,
00:22:52.960
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
00:23:20.500
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
00:23:29.820
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
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.
00:24:07.320
And I think just good and good, good intentions, paving the road to hell.
00:24:11.800
I mean, I think there's a lot of decent people there that lean left and it's become their
00:24:16.680
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
00:24:35.280
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
00:24:41.740
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.
00:24:59.000
We don't understand what violence on our streets looks like.
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
00:25:27.860
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
00:25:59.960
Then the Biden administration's attempt to strike a deal with Iran over the nuclear program
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.
00:26:36.840
We, we are becoming a world, a world that's going to be at war with the China 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
00:26:58.000
And then we've had this reckless policy of printing more money, the quantitative easing,
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
00:27:09.340
He said, he wanted to bring our jobs back, seal off our borders, get us out of these needless
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,
00:27:31.220
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
00:27:41.580
They benefit from the Chinese having this much power.
00:27:45.140
And the Chinese have done a great job of buying off our elites, buying into major hedge funds.
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.
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
00:28:10.360
that backs, that relies on the Yuan, and they are, we kick them off swift.
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
00:28:33.160
You know, it's really frightening to look at what we've done to Russia just in the banking
00:28:41.120
They have the money because we haven't really cut off their oil supply.
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.
00:29:08.200
We're talking about now putting them in default just because we won't change their money from
00:29:16.780
That means that their money in any kind of central bank, any kind of bond outside of a
00:29:33.580
They offer a decent financial transaction, a financial deal.
00:29:39.540
And then now we're just seeing this massive consolidation of Saudi Arabia with Iran.
00:29:45.980
They're trying to consolidate the Eurasia landmass.
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
00:29:59.000
So I fear that we're approaching essentially because we've taken our eye off the ball with
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.
00:30:18.820
What are your thoughts on ESG and what should be done?
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
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
00:30:45.880
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
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.
00:31:13.840
But one bank is in a in a close to failing position.
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
00:31:36.120
Yeah, they're taking our pension fund money and they're using it to bail out the China
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
00:31:59.560
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.
00:32:08.720
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
00:32:19.140
Plus, I mean, the vast majority of the materials that go to the battery powered cars and all
00:32:25.920
Once again, we're relying on the Chinese Communist Party, that Build Back Better plan that was
00:32:30.140
almost passed because Republicans caved, Joe Manchin and Christian Sinema are the ones
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.
00:32:54.380
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.
00:33:17.940
But I told the I told the president, if you run and if you win, you're going to have to
00:33:31.780
And he said, I can't do it with a mealy mouthed Republican Party.
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
00:34:03.520
So is all the abuses of FISA that took place in the last administration going after the NSA
00:34:08.620
These are very powerful institutions that should be protecting American citizens and protecting
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.
00:34:36.700
But we can also be using oversight to get to the bottom of all these issues, especially
00:34:44.160
And then when we get President Trump back in office, I think he's going to run.
00:34:47.400
We have to be ready with an army of presidential appointees that we've vetted, that we know are
00:34:54.160
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.
00:35:27.160
Congress needs to be making the laws, not these agencies.
00:35:38.520
It's been tested a lot in my life, but it's strong.
00:35:42.960
So I feel like this is a critical fight for our country.
00:35:48.380
I mean, because I talk to people who, like you, they think they know what they're walking
00:35:53.720
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
00:36:08.260
It's like it's an evil kind of feeling in Washington, D.C. right now.
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.
