Transcript
00:00:02.640
We talked to you a little bit right off the bat about your economy and what is coming.
00:00:06.380
We also wanted to share with you the interview that we did with the guy who's really the spokesperson for all of the trucks.
00:00:16.840
The big rally in, is it Ottawa? I forget. It's one of those Canadian cities.
00:00:21.460
Big, huge rally against the government being so oppressive.
00:00:28.360
Also, President Trump, a live interview that happens with him about the Ukraine.
00:00:35.160
Chris Stewart joins us to talk about that and how we are committing national suicide.
00:00:40.660
And finally, the new Surgeon General of Florida on the FDA, all on today's podcast.

00:01:04.700
We have so much to talk about. I want to make sure that you understand.
00:01:22.740
Listen, we have verified from the Fed through FOIA $30 trillion that they gave to the banks.
00:01:32.560
The $95 trillion that we talked about is speculation, taking them at their word.
00:01:38.200
They said they were giving the banks of the world and lending them $1 trillion a week.
00:01:43.880
We don't know anything about it because they can keep it secret.
00:01:56.700
Let me show you what is going on now in Canada.
00:02:07.640
They're kind of like, I don't know, it's cold outside.
00:02:11.520
You know, I grew up on the border of Canada, and they're very calm and peaceful people and everything else.
00:02:34.280
And today and tomorrow, they're saying there are maybe as many as 500,000 people showing up in Ottawa
00:02:50.420
He's a spokesperson from the Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy.
00:02:58.900
I wish you guys didn't have to do this, but I'm glad you are standing up.
00:03:01.980
Tell me about the convoy and what you're protesting specifically, and how many people do you think are really going to show up?
00:03:10.500
Well, basically, there's two general areas that we're most concerned with.
00:03:15.100
One is the authoritarian mandates, the lack of freedom of choice.
00:03:21.360
And the other is this app, which I discussed last night in Tucker Carlson.
00:03:25.780
And I explained that the other night when I was coming across the border for the first time using a COVID app on my phone, okay?
00:03:35.480
I drive up to the border gate, and I hold my phone to show the QR code to the border agent.
00:03:47.680
He said, no, no, no, you already popped up on my computer.
00:03:51.580
So as soon as you drive in a certain vicinity of my booth, I can see your passport and all of your documentation before you even come here.
00:04:01.760
And I thought, yeah, when do we start expanding that technology across the entire country?
00:04:07.980
There's your basis for social credit and tracking absolutely everybody, which is what we've been saying about this the entire time, and nobody's been listening to us.
00:04:21.980
You know, John Kerry was meeting about the Great Reset, and they asked, you know, is this going to happen?
00:04:27.840
And he said, this is going to happen at a greater speed and intensity than anyone can imagine.
00:04:33.300
All of these things are coming together at such speed and intensity.
00:04:39.440
Meanwhile, you guys are being called racist in all kinds of names.
00:04:44.100
Yeah, listen, we're not afraid of open and free speech and dialogue.
00:04:50.620
You get in a truck and listen to the TV, there's some colorful language, not nearly as colorful as the language of some of these liberal kids who are playing Xbox and Call of Duty.
00:05:03.380
But we're not afraid of colorful language because, you know what, that's the pressure valve.
00:05:17.680
We'll calm down five minutes later and we'll all be one unified nation.
00:05:22.000
And that's the core fundamental problem of this.
00:05:24.940
You know, we all see that the basic philosophy underlying this entire problem that all the truckers are angry and fighting about is we don't want the government to protect us.
00:05:43.180
And they are violating the Charter of Freedom of Rights and the spirit of the Charter of Freedom of Rights to do all this for the Great Reset, for, you know, this authoritarian, AI, modern, communist, this philosophy, which is completely crazy.
00:06:00.840
So tell me how many trucks are going to show up?
00:06:11.100
It's going to start trickling into night over the next couple of days because there are so many trucks.
00:06:20.780
I went to a quick delivery into the United States, like I mentioned, early in the week.
00:06:26.000
I left on Tuesday and came back late Tuesday night.
00:06:28.940
I have never seen so few trucks on the road in my life.
00:06:36.280
But there were a lot of trucks going under underpasses with crowds of people in every province of the country.
00:06:45.660
Imagine in the United States that somebody is driving down, a convoy is driving down, I don't know, I-95 from New York to Florida.
00:06:53.840
And at every overpass, there's a crowd of a couple of hundred people holding up signs, you know, we love you, we support you, freedom.
00:07:10.300
I was a candidate for the Conservative Party several years ago.
00:07:19.860
Well, now the truckers have become the official opposition.
00:07:23.800
And this is the outlet that people are using to speak.
00:07:27.140
That's why there's almost $7 million in donations there in a week.
00:07:32.440
It's they don't have a place to park their vote because they don't have a voice in our system anymore.
00:07:38.940
It's a little terrifying what's happening, isn't it, BJ?
00:07:42.780
You know, I mentioned last night, I spent a lot of time living in Latin America and traveling through Latin America.
00:07:50.280
Not only in some of the most dangerous countries there.
00:07:52.560
Not only have I seen areas like Alberta, which is our Texas, settled by Texans, turned into the most prosperous economic center of the country, where now it looks like a third world country.
00:08:12.140
And the underlying, you know, postmodernist philosophy that these people hold, these worlds, and they don't understand it, that you try to talk to them about their philosophy and point out the flaws.
00:08:25.760
And like Yuri Bezmanov said, you're stuck with them.
00:08:28.500
You can show them that white is white, black is black, and they just don't understand.
00:08:38.100
Do we have the audio from the World Economic Forum?
00:08:43.500
This is, this has happened, I think, last week or early this week.
00:08:47.620
This is the World Economic Forum in Davos talking to all of the elites about the elites.
00:08:58.800
At Davos a few years ago, you know, the Edelman survey showed us that the good news is the elite across the world,
00:09:08.100
trust each other more and more, so we can come together and design and do beautiful things together.
00:09:14.360
The bad news is that in every single country they were polling, the majority of people trusted that elite less.
00:09:28.420
But we can gather together and we can make decisions.
00:09:33.180
They're cutting us out of all of these decisions.
00:09:36.420
They're not made by the people of the world anymore.
00:09:42.000
And the arrogance, I think, is just going to cause, I mean, it could cause mass starvation around the world alone,
00:09:50.820
let alone upheaval like we've never seen before.
00:09:54.180
I think also one of the problems we do is we always cede ground to them.
00:10:01.280
We allow them to be defined by terms that have positive connotations.
00:10:12.620
This may sound harsh, but they're global scavengers going across the country,
00:10:17.400
taking up all of our resources and putting the rest of us into serfdom.
00:10:23.040
And to show the depth of penetration that they have, we have, there's an MP that I used to be friendly with
00:10:30.320
that we had a good relationship named Michelle Rempel.
00:10:37.180
She's a fighter, fighter from Western, from Alberta.
00:10:40.620
Then she went to Davos one year, and she was listed on the junior world leaders of the World Economic Forum.
00:10:50.740
And she came back, and shortly after, a couple months later, she started putting out posts on her Twitter profile
00:10:57.520
apologizing that she was a cisgendered white female out of nowhere.
00:11:05.740
And that is completely out of character for who she is.
00:11:12.460
We're dealing with politicians that, unfortunately, they're just going for the easy money,
00:11:18.260
and they think there's not going to be any conflict that way.
00:11:21.880
Well, let me ask you this, because it's not just the politicians.
00:11:26.080
They are using, I mean, we know they've always used media.
00:11:30.180
I mean, jeez, the regulations of media, the CBC and everything else in Canada is crazy.
00:11:36.880
But you guys, are you getting your message out, and how is that happening?
00:11:41.600
Because everything is being censored, all of YouTube, everything else.
00:11:50.380
Well, my little strategy that I've been using this entire time was to avoid any central points
00:11:59.940
So if we had made a Freedom Convoy, I don't know, Twitter account or whatever it was, right?
00:12:08.480
But I do know there's a hashtag system, and we can coalesce around the hashtag system,
00:12:14.320
make it variable, and change it up frequently, and have the leaders and primary accounts
00:12:23.420
And that's how we've been subverting all the censorship.
00:12:27.280
So this is what it would look like if we were able to speak openly and not be censored.
00:12:36.340
This is why they keep trying to censor everybody.
00:12:45.140
So when I disagree with them, we can at least engage in dialogue.
00:12:53.700
With everything that's going on, do you think the crowd is going to be as big as you hope?
00:13:02.720
They're hoping somebody else will stand up for them.
00:13:08.480
You know, that's normally the nature of not just Canadians, but human beings.
00:13:12.800
They always want a leader to stand up and do the fighting for them.
00:13:17.580
You know, they've got kids, responsibilities, whatever.
00:13:20.140
But it seems to be the global political class has crossed the line.
00:13:28.600
They wanted Justin Trudeau to be a global brand.
00:13:34.780
And now the convoy to Canberra in Australia is starting up.
00:13:41.920
So this doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon.
00:13:45.200
The only thing that I hope you and others can help communicate to your listeners and people who are on the road listening to this is this is peaceful.
00:13:54.980
Do not take the bait from the agitators on the radical left.
00:14:05.800
They will try to get people going into buildings.
00:14:09.880
We're going to have a daily intelligence slash safety briefing from an intelligence analyst who works with us.
00:14:15.920
You can follow the Quiggin Report podcast Twitter for those updates.
00:14:20.060
We're going to work with police, inform them everything that's going on.
00:14:23.940
Keep every because we saw what happened in January 6th.
00:14:39.360
What you're doing, BJ, is incredibly important.
00:14:43.400
And hopefully it will inspire millions more all around the world to stand up because we are truly on the verge of losing our rights that make us human.
00:15:00.040
That's Canadian trucker Freedom Convoy spokesperson BJ Dictor on the convoy that is in Ottawa.
00:15:44.320
Well, I think, first of all, I know how you feel about it.
00:15:47.320
But first of all, this is something that never would have happened.
00:15:55.340
Well, this is a total lack of respect for him and for our country.
00:16:03.440
Now, whether they go in or not, maybe Putin doesn't even know, because I really think
00:16:11.180
But after watching a couple of those press conferences and the statements that he's going
00:16:15.520
in like routinely, I think he figures, well, nobody's going to stop him.
00:16:20.660
As I've been saying, NATO is a paper tiger because it's going to break up every time it
00:16:30.400
And you see Germany breaking up and others breaking up.
00:16:34.880
And all that money is spent on NATO from the United States.
00:16:39.060
Before I got there, Glenn, they were, in my opinion, United States was paying 100 percent
00:16:46.660
Other than eight countries, they were delinquent.
00:16:49.320
They weren't paying or they weren't paying anywhere near what they were supposed to be
00:17:00.080
And it's just I think maybe Putin was just trying to negotiate and he's a good negotiator
00:17:07.420
and he's dealing with people that don't have a clue.
00:17:11.200
And I think what's happened is they've just said, you know, go in.
00:17:15.240
We're going to put we're going to put sanctions on.
00:17:19.560
And I think to take over a country for sanctions maybe isn't such a bad deal for him.
00:17:24.020
So yesterday, CNN was reporting that the president, Biden, called the leader of Ukraine and it
00:17:36.540
didn't go well, according to Ukrainian officials.
00:17:39.720
And apparently Biden said that Kiev would be sacked is, I think, the quote that they used.
00:17:49.160
But now the Biden administration is saying that's not true.
00:17:54.200
We had a wonderful conversation and we never said any of those things.
00:18:03.300
But we might have said it, but they shouldn't have leaked it.
00:18:13.000
You know, it all started as bad as the border is, and it's the worst in history, including
00:18:20.120
But as bad as the border is, it really started with the horrible and incompetent way they
00:18:27.200
We could have gotten out with dignity and strength.
00:18:30.660
I got it down to 2000 soldiers from, as you know, many times that number.
00:18:40.100
They took the military out first and then they left the $85 billion and we lost 13 people.
00:18:46.960
But, you know, not only do we lose 13, we had many people really badly hurt and nobody
00:18:53.380
But the way we got out of Afghanistan, I think that's when all this stuff happened.
00:18:57.780
If you look, President Xi of China was watching.
00:19:03.940
And we became overnight a whole different country in terms of levels of respect.
00:19:10.200
I think it was the most embarrassing day or week that this country has ever had.
00:19:17.560
So let me ask you this, because I agree incompetence plays a role.
00:19:22.140
But also, I mean, it's really hard not to say, you know, your batting average is so bad.
00:19:30.540
I don't know if you're really on the team when it comes to Ukraine.
00:19:34.440
How much does Joe and Hunter Biden's, you know, workings over in Ukraine complicate the matter?
00:19:42.160
Well, a lot of people, I noticed this morning, a lot of people were saying that because of
00:19:48.220
Hunter Biden getting all of that money from Burisma, I guess you could say $164,000 a month
00:19:57.580
But in any event, a lot, $3 million up front because of his great knowledge of energy, when
00:20:08.540
I think it makes it I think it makes it very difficult for them to do what they think
00:20:16.320
But you have that problem with Russia, too, because the mayor of Moscow's wife gave him
00:20:28.680
And of course, you have it in China where they gave him a billion five to manage where
00:20:33.460
he'll take in hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for himself.
00:20:37.980
So he's conflicted at every level, whether no matter what country you go to, the whole
00:20:46.880
The the news today, again, back to Ukraine, is that Putin has put significant trauma teams
00:21:01.500
You don't you don't you don't normally do that.
00:21:17.180
When Germany made the pipeline deal, I sent a white flag to Angela, who I got along with
00:21:27.740
She was she was she had views that were a lot different than mine in many cases.
00:21:33.580
But I sent the white flag of surrender because Germany made a deal with Russia, with the
00:21:52.100
Putin would say, you're killing me with this pipeline.
00:21:58.180
But I told Angela, I said, you're tying your whole country into Russia because once you're
00:22:02.300
going to get energy and don't listen to them when they say 20 percent, it's 72 percent or
00:22:07.440
more of their energy is going to come out of Russia.
00:22:10.240
That means that Russia controls that Russia owns Germany in one of the dumbest moves I've
00:22:16.520
ever seen where they're getting their energy, a large portion.
00:22:25.280
And even if that is too much, but it's over 70 percent, they closed their plants, they
00:22:33.640
They got rid of coal, which was, you know, seeming at greatness because, frankly, the
00:22:39.920
coal was, you know, they had great ability right now.
00:22:43.700
They're having brownouts and every other thing, but they're getting their energy from
00:22:48.320
So Russia has total control over Germany and Germany saying, oh, well, we don't want to
00:22:52.600
They can't fight them because of what's happening with the energy.
00:22:58.720
But I would really say it is a European problem.
00:23:04.460
We've been paying for really 100 percent until I got involved.
00:23:08.980
The numbers went down, down, down, like on a roller coaster downward.
00:23:12.460
And I got involved and I after my first meeting, I said, you know, you guys aren't paying your
00:23:22.200
Obama would make a speech and leave and other people would make speeches, Bush and leave.
00:23:30.560
And I asked about it, Sultenberg, who actually was my biggest fan because he couldn't believe
00:23:38.880
We had a meeting and I said, you've got to pay your bills.
00:23:41.680
And one of the presidents stood up and said, does that mean you wouldn't defend us if we
00:23:49.880
Because if you don't, which almost didn't get reported.
00:23:52.640
But the bottom line is the next day, the money started flowing in.
00:23:56.320
So they paid the money, but they don't have the heart to work together.
00:24:02.420
And if you're not going to work together, but this is a big problem.
00:24:06.080
It's really not a problem for the United States.
00:24:15.240
Well, the messages that China and all of our enemies are receiving for this are quite
00:24:23.500
When you were, we're obviously talking to number 45 and probably number 47.
00:24:28.740
When you were in office, you said sanctions on Russia 16 times.
00:24:34.180
You had the Nord Stream 2 pipeline sanction indictments on Russia, five times military action
00:24:43.360
Lethal weapons were provided to Ukraine, which hadn't been done.
00:24:49.360
You kicked 60 Russian intelligence operations out of the United States.
00:24:59.400
But the thing I think that made the biggest impact, and I'm wondering what role this played
00:25:05.240
with the reversal from Biden, the biggest impact, the way to keep Putin under wraps is to
00:25:12.520
collapse the price of oil, which we were doing by being energy independent.
00:25:22.300
Well, I did that too, and the nice thing about, I appreciate that list.
00:25:26.400
You know, some of those things I don't even think of.
00:25:28.540
We did all of them, and I appreciate that list.
00:25:36.200
I'm in Texas where we have a, I hear an incredible crowd.
00:25:39.840
Nobody, they don't like to talk about crowd size.
00:25:43.480
But we could have 85,000, 90,000 people this weekend in Texas.
00:25:48.920
And I'm going to, I'm going to mention those things that you really do.
00:25:52.940
You bring up items that I've done so many of them.
00:25:56.240
And I actually, one other thing, I got along great with Putin, but he said, you're killing
00:26:04.380
He would have never done what he did, what he's doing here.
00:26:08.100
And by the way, I really believe that he wasn't going, he was doing it to negotiate.
00:26:12.800
And then he saw these people falling all over themselves not to be involved.
00:26:22.600
I think two weeks ago, he had no intention of doing it.
00:26:25.060
He was just negotiating and doing his shtick, which he likes to do.
00:26:30.200
And now he's seeing it's like, it's like a clear path because of the stupid people he's
00:26:36.300
And is there, what would you say to Putin now if, if you were talking to him?
00:26:45.700
Well, now is a whole different story because now, and he's really ready to go.
00:26:50.140
And, you know, people are amazed at the newness and sophistication of his weapons.
00:26:55.180
You know, I don't know if you've been seeing that, but they are really, they are really
00:27:03.580
I mean, that's what certain of these people do.
00:27:06.340
Kim Jong-un, he's got some pretty powerful things going in there too.
00:27:11.640
But, and he's starting to do tests like he hasn't actually, like he's never done before.
00:27:20.640
Look, they all watched what took place in Afghanistan, not to withdraw, but the way they withdrew.
00:27:29.460
I think right now it's a whole different thing.
00:27:31.180
And I must tell you, I was asked a question last night.
00:27:33.840
I said, I wouldn't want to tell you what I tell him because, you know, you can't tell
00:27:39.180
You know, you're playing a very highly sophisticated game of poker.
00:27:42.600
And, you know, you can't go out to the public and say, I would tell him this, or I would
00:27:48.560
You got to do what you have to do and tell him things that are very tough.
00:27:52.460
But you can't reveal that to the public until maybe after it's all done.
00:27:58.020
But I think there are ways of talking him out of it.
00:28:01.120
One of the things that you mentioned was so important is I drove the price of oil down
00:28:05.200
and that really hurt Russia and was killing OPEC.
00:28:09.840
And now we're going back to OPEC because we don't have oil.
00:28:15.660
We were energy independent just a year ago and we were going to be double the size of
00:28:23.360
And now we're like a bunch of, we're like a bunch of beggars.
00:28:28.600
We're going back to OPEC and asking them to give us oil.
00:28:33.140
You know, they're giving oil to the East Coast.
00:28:37.020
We had so much oil, we didn't know what to do with it, Glenn.
00:28:41.500
In fact, I drove it down so low, I had to get it back up a little bit for the industry
00:28:54.060
Which was the point of economic collapse in 2008.
00:29:02.400
Who would have thought when I was doing the oil, when we had it down to $25 a barrel,
00:29:06.880
who would have thought we would have ever had this conversation that we're having right
00:29:11.380
So everything that you look at, there is no way that you can say, these people see America
00:29:32.880
These policies and this kind of thinking, systemic throughout the system.
00:29:42.040
Mr. President, is there, I mean, are you meeting with people?
00:29:45.940
Let's just pretend that you might be running for president.
00:29:52.020
Is there a thought of people getting together and making a naughty and nice list on how you
00:30:04.120
Well, we can, but don't forget, we're having, in my opinion, 10 million more people here.
00:30:11.460
Many of the people should not be in our country.
00:30:14.000
Many of these people are dangerous, very, very dangerous people.
00:30:17.660
Not only, you know, those that planelift from Afghanistan was a disaster.
00:30:22.320
Because only 3% of those people should have been here.
00:30:25.320
You're going to be reading about this for years to come.
00:30:27.880
Some of those people that came off should not, they're terrorists, and they should not
00:30:32.620
And then you see what's happening at the southern border.
00:30:35.160
Last week, 121 people, 121 countries were represented by people that came in.
00:30:41.200
But the numbers are much worse than you're hearing.
00:30:43.420
You know, the numbers you're hearing are, I had the border really at the lowest level ever.
00:30:56.380
You know, they could have completed the wall in three weeks.
00:30:59.540
It took me two years to get it started because I had this, the Democrats sued me 11 different
00:31:06.620
You know that I won all of the cases, all of the suits.
00:31:09.340
And then I proceeded and the wall was almost finished.
00:31:14.960
It's not even believable what we're dealing with.
00:31:18.340
I thought that was incompetence, too, when they, you know, they showed the open borders.
00:31:23.620
And then I realized this is really their philosophy, open borders, no voter ID.
00:31:31.180
That's all they're good at, by the way, is politics cheating on elections.
00:31:37.240
Think of, I mean, who would have the kind of policy?
00:31:40.060
They're going to raise your taxes to a level that nobody's ever seen before.
00:31:47.080
They get elected because they cheat like hell in elections.
00:31:53.060
If they use the same genius, by the way, for Russia, Ukraine, China, for North Korea, if
00:32:00.740
they use the same genius that they do at cheating on elections, we'd have no problems.
00:32:19.660
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:32:22.320
It's the new year, and you know what that means, New Year's resolutions.
00:32:35.940
But if your resolution is like mine this year to eat a little healthier, make sure that you
00:32:42.380
Ever since the first time I tried a Bilt Bar, I've been a huge fan.
00:32:46.380
I hate protein bars and all of that stuff because it usually tastes like it comes from
00:32:55.120
Most Bilt Bars have about 130 calories, 4 grams of sugar, 4 grams of net carbs, and 17 grams
00:33:03.960
They're also made with 100% real chocolate, amazing flavors that you're going to really
00:33:09.220
So get rid of all the snacks that taste good that aren't friendly to your waistline, even
00:33:13.540
if you're not big on working out, which I'm also not a fan of, you can at least be eating
00:33:18.340
something that tastes good, but is also really pretty good for you as well.
00:33:38.260
And, you know, I'll have these guys on and they talk about a new book and usually it's
00:33:59.560
Your other brother was a colonel in the Air Force.
00:34:03.960
Um, gosh, as I'm missing other brothers, uh, and you're a congressman, your family is
00:34:18.380
Uh, and we have been talking about how do we get out of this mess for a very long time.
00:34:25.720
Uh, and first I just want to get your reaction to president Trump.
00:34:30.460
And, uh, I know you're on the Intel committee, but you can't tell us anything.
00:34:35.040
Uh, but you know, what, what are we facing here with Ukraine?
00:34:38.740
He just said, nothing is going to come of it for Americans.
00:34:43.900
We're not going to, other than the message it sends to the rest of the world.
00:34:52.100
Well, look, as I listened to you and the, and the president, and I thought it was a great
00:34:55.600
interview, uh, but for the thousandth time, I wished this man was our president still.
00:35:02.220
And I was talking to someone yesterday who was, you know, I don't want to say they're
00:35:05.500
a never Trumper, but they didn't support this president.
00:35:08.520
And I said, look at the world around us and, and tell me that you're not partly responsible
00:35:13.600
And how could you look at the world around us and say, this is any way better than what
00:35:24.280
And you know, we have the chaos, but without any of the benefits because it's just a remarkably
00:35:30.060
I mean, I could not have imagined we'd be in this world in just 14 months.
00:35:33.700
And as I listened to the president again, I'm reminded of that.
00:35:36.320
I think one of the most important things he says, and the people mentioned this, but I
00:35:42.940
And that is Vladimir Putin took his measure of this president in the last year, particularly
00:35:54.660
And if he does not go into the Ukraine, it will be because he's changed his mind.
00:36:00.080
But this president, President Biden's doing nothing to change his mind.
00:36:03.820
Do you believe, Chris, that what the president said was true, that he was just negotiating,
00:36:11.160
had no intent, and then watching what's happening, he's like, are you kidding me?
00:36:15.980
You're practically giving me the country, I'm taking it.
00:36:18.620
I think there's absolute truth to that, but I think it's a little more complicated than
00:36:23.080
Back in April, Vladimir Putin did this, and he positioned himself.
00:36:26.880
And most people don't even realize that we paid very little attention to it because we thought,
00:36:32.480
But we do have analysis and insights into the president of Russia now that we didn't have
00:36:39.740
And, you know, it's pretty clear that he actually made a decision, we're going to do this.
00:36:45.520
And then every military action he's taken since then reinforces that conclusion.
00:36:50.100
As a military guy, because didn't you just sent the speed record at one point?
00:36:55.580
Yeah, fastest nonstop flight around the world, back when I had a job that I loved.
00:37:04.800
Why would you put these critical medical units right there on the border if you weren't serious
00:37:14.980
And I mean, he's brought troops and some artillery and other pieces as far away as from the North
00:37:22.020
His positioning of the heavy armor and other things in Belarus, which is clearly designed
00:37:29.100
I mean, this will be a three-pronged military attack.
00:37:32.640
And as I said, unlike anything we've ever seen before, he's positioned himself for that.
00:37:36.780
But I do think that they can dissuade him from doing this.
00:37:41.540
But, you know, sanctions, we can talk about SWIFT.
00:37:43.580
You can talk about repositioning our troops and NATO allies, you know, Poland and Latvia and
00:37:48.160
The one thing that Vladimir Putin fears more than anything else isn't losing some Russian
00:37:55.180
It's losing Russian soldiers week after week after week from a resistance.
00:38:03.540
Because if he were to clearly say, we will arm and support a resistance movement.
00:38:08.480
But if he did, that's again, that's one thing that Vladimir Putin is really terrified of.
00:38:15.800
The president, Reagan, just said, rise up, support them.
00:38:22.540
I think the biggest news for us to how it's going to affect us is I don't think we're ever
00:38:34.280
I've heard in those areas because they're worried about having to defend Chernobyl and
00:38:42.780
Yeah, well, maybe we can end our our tour in a gulag, in a Russian gulag.
00:38:52.540
Chris, I you are going to be part of my my Friday exclusive on the blaze.
00:38:59.940
But I have about 45 minutes with you and I want to talk to you about the book that you
00:39:07.580
I think this is a critically important book at exactly the right time, how to save our
00:39:20.540
And I just want to spend five minutes on what people don't know that we're facing, because
00:39:30.020
Big tech, huge business and governments all over the world know exactly what's coming.
00:39:37.440
And none of them have the balls to say it to any any of their citizens.
00:39:41.960
And it is it is the biggest crime against humanity, I believe, because they know and
00:40:00.340
I want you to listen to how they just spoke about them versus you.
00:40:07.500
At Davos a few years ago, you know, the Edelman survey showed us that the good news is the elite
00:40:16.220
across the world trust each other more and more so we can come together and design and
00:40:23.800
The bad news is that in every single country they were polling, the majority of people
00:40:33.040
So the important thing to grab on that is they know and they're designing beautiful
00:40:38.860
things and we don't trust them and they're not telling us.
00:40:46.000
How can you listen to that quote and not laugh, not openly laugh?
00:40:49.120
The elites trust each other, but the other guys don't trust us.
00:40:52.580
And Glenn, you said they're not only not warning people, as you point out in the Great Reset,
00:41:00.780
And so, I mean, what this book does, The Final Fight for Freedom, it talks about what's going
00:41:14.140
I mean, I think this is not a generation away, the view that we have here.
00:41:18.900
It's how does society fail, why society fails, and the weapons our adversaries are going
00:41:31.460
Hang on just a second, because you and I had a conversation off the air a couple of days
00:41:38.480
You told me you had just come out of a meeting.
00:41:40.540
You couldn't tell me what the meeting was or what it was about or anything.
00:41:43.300
He said, but you and others looked at each other and said, this is national suicide.
00:41:49.280
There are times when we have briefings and your jaw just drops, and you just think, how
00:41:58.980
And some of the things we're doing don't have to be done, or we could counter these things.
00:42:03.400
But sometimes you walk out and you realize we're not, or we won't.
00:42:09.120
And I use that phrase, national suicide, very, very carefully.
00:42:13.060
But if we divide ourselves and weaken ourselves, China's not going to send troops into the Bay
00:42:18.000
of San Francisco, they're not going to have to.
00:42:20.600
If you want to know about quantum computing and really understand the physics behind it,
00:42:28.300
The one thing I love about you is you're into futurist stuff, and you and I have had
00:42:32.300
calls in the middle of the afternoon, middle of the night going, quantum computing, are
00:42:39.240
And all of the AI stuff, and you address it, and you must address it.
00:42:43.600
Yeah, because that's the weapons that our adversary, in this case, China.
00:42:47.720
Just give a little preview of what's in the book.
00:42:50.720
Well, it starts out with this scene of a person, you find out he was one of the elites we just
00:42:56.240
He's a very wealthy, very well-known media personality.
00:43:00.120
And he's with his daughter trying to maneuver through Washington, D.C., through the gangs
00:43:07.700
And that's kind of the introduction to this is the world that we're looking at.
00:43:34.540
But then you have to say, well, what is the answer?
00:43:44.560
You have to create this pressure relief valve to keep our nation strong enough that China
00:43:50.900
And in my view, the only way to do that is through severe federalism.
00:43:55.960
Hey, if California wants to go nuts, and in some ways they have.
00:44:09.880
Well, so let's talk about California real quick.
00:44:11.540
So they're going to double taxes in order to provide medical benefits to everyone, including
00:44:18.720
Hey, if California wants to do that, knock yourself out.
00:44:28.660
It was the way our founding fathers intended it.
00:44:31.120
If you want to be in Vermont, if you want to be in Portland, where you're going to legalize
00:44:34.620
marijuana and legalize heroin, hey, I think it's insane.
00:44:37.840
But if you locally and as a state level decide to do that, then go ahead and do it.
00:44:43.480
And the key to this is you don't feel like you're having this stuff jammed down your throat
00:44:47.320
by a federal government that is compelling us to do it.
00:44:50.680
People will then migrate to the states to support their values, support the things they believe
00:44:56.680
And if we were to do that, we could keep our country together.
00:45:01.460
But people would be living in places and living under governments that they support and they
00:45:06.460
So there are a couple of things that point to its favor.
00:45:10.180
And one of them is all the all the Republicans, I should say, the conservatives and especially
00:45:18.580
those in living in Texas, when Obama was the president, they were jamming all this stuff
00:45:24.820
Just a seat doesn't, you know, 10th Amendment and, you know, we'll live our way and you're
00:45:30.800
not going to tell our state what to do or we'll secede.
00:45:33.180
I don't I'm not for seceding, but the 10th Amendment, the liberals went crazy until Trump
00:45:41.360
And then California said that 10th Amendment's really important.
00:45:49.960
I mean, look, we live in a day where people actually in a serious way talk about civil war,
00:45:56.040
There's no way that you can ever support that idea.
00:45:59.640
Go out and shoot our neighbors because that's what it would be.
00:46:03.060
And then they say, OK, maybe we need an amicable divorce succession, as you've said.
00:46:11.520
And second thing is, look, we can't agree on the simple things.
00:46:14.200
Do you think we could peacefully agree on how we're going to divide Social Security or our
00:46:18.380
military or the national debt or ports and rivers?
00:46:21.980
I mean, how could we possibly imagine we could have an amicable divorce over and with those
00:46:28.060
But when we come back, I want to hear your response to these.
00:46:32.680
The 40 percent of the American people, 40 and there's Democrats believe that if you don't
00:46:38.980
get your kids vaccinated, you shouldn't have access to your kids.
00:46:44.040
Fifty seven percent are basically talking about camps for other people.
00:46:51.580
I have nothing in common because we don't agree on human rights anymore.
00:46:55.760
We are back with Congressman Chris Stewart, a Republican from Utah.
00:47:00.380
He has written a book that is a must read, The Final Fight for Freedom.
00:47:04.560
You will begin to understand not only what you're facing, but also how fast it's going to happen.
00:47:10.600
The book starts and a year later, you're looking for food out in the streets.
00:47:21.560
We don't have to step outside of reality to create that kind of scenario.
00:47:25.520
And Glenn, the important thing, again, is that it doesn't have to be that way.
00:47:32.380
I mean, I want to come back to the point before we took the break about you're saying 40 percent
00:47:36.380
of them would take children away from someone who hasn't been immunized.
00:47:40.260
They also, about the same number, 40 percent, would take children away from someone that they
00:47:50.280
I mean, the Department of Justice has made it pretty clear.
00:47:52.380
You're a domestic terrorist if you go to a school board.
00:48:06.480
And one of the points we make in this book, and it's ironic but true, the Bill of Rights
00:48:10.020
would never be approved by this Congress in this world.
00:48:17.880
You know, you can't house federal soldiers in someone's backyard or in their basement.
00:48:28.720
Look, if you want to argue about tax policy or, you know, a few of these things on the margin,
00:48:33.480
but we're talking about fundamental rights, fundamental freedoms, the Bill of Rights.
