Former President Donald Trump joins Glenn Beck and Stu Braheer in the studio to talk about the latest on the latest in the Russia/Trump/Biden scandal. Also, Mike Lee is on the show to discuss the Great Reset.
00:20:09.700Thank you. So what is what is your plan? What are you doing?
00:20:12.980Look, we've got millions of Americans who are still under vaccine mandates.
00:20:20.420And while the granddaddy of all of them has thankfully been rejected by the Supreme Court,
00:20:24.980and it's now been pulled back by the administration as a result, a number of dangerous federal vaccine
00:20:30.740mandates still remain. And those mandates still cover many millions of Americans, huge sectors of the
00:20:36.580workforce. So meanwhile, the administration ignores natural immunity and the fact that vaccines are,
00:20:45.220you know, not necessarily stopping people from getting the virus. Some of them have become less
00:20:49.620effective with the variants. So we can't claim to be a free country when the government's forcing
00:20:55.780millions of people to choose between a paycheck and an unwanted medical procedure. And so that's
00:21:00.980why I and my colleagues that I've mentioned are saying is enough is enough. We've got these
00:21:06.580truckers in Canada and people across this country who know that the vaccine mandates are wrong.
00:21:11.540They're bravely standing against this authoritarianism. So what we're doing is we're sending this letter
00:21:17.620saying we stand with American workers and families. We stand with individual choice. We stand with
00:21:23.380millions of federal contractors, medical professionals, and federal employees and military personnel
00:21:29.460in saying that their freedom matters too. We shouldn't be funding the government without independently
00:21:36.100casting a vote on withholding funding for the enforcement of these unwise, tyrannical mandates.
00:21:44.900So you have a continuing resolution, which is, you know, we don't pass budgets anymore. We just,
00:21:52.020yeah, just keep doing the same thing. And in it, you'd be funding the vaccine mandates.
00:21:59.380And what you want to do is vote first on no vaccine mandates in the continuing resolution,
00:22:08.900and then you'll vote for the continuing resolution. Otherwise, you're not voting for it.
00:22:14.420Yeah, that's the point is that every time we pass a continuing resolution, it's sort of like a reset
00:22:20.740button that continues to fund all of government at the same levels for a certain period of time.
00:22:27.540And what we're saying is that if you want us to vote on something like that, you need at least to give
00:22:33.860us an opportunity to vote to say, fund everything else in government, but not enforcement of the vaccine
00:22:41.940mandates. And if they don't give us that, we're not going to make it easier for them to pass this
00:22:47.940faster. We have procedural rights in the Senate. And they need our agreement to expedite the vote on
00:22:56.820this. And we're saying we're not going to do that unless you give us a vote on defunding the mandates.
00:23:01.780So here's the question, because, yes, part is as part of the blaze family conservative review is with us.
00:23:11.300And they I know you guys are among the top 10 conservatives because they rank you and it's a it's a pretty fair ranking,
00:23:20.100I think. But when you look at Mitt Romney score, Stu, what is it? Fifty two?
00:23:26.580Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Something like fifty two.
00:23:29.860And I believe Mitch McConnell is either forty or forty two.
00:23:38.020Is his the leadership going to go with this?
00:23:42.100Well, look at it this way. We had another vote basically identical to this one back in December when we passed
00:23:50.980the last continuing resolution. And we got every Republican who voted that day, who voted for
00:24:00.580the amendment, voted to say we should not be funding the vaccine mandate.
00:24:06.020The vote ended up being forty eight to fifty. Democrats won.
00:24:09.380We had two absences that day. It otherwise would have been fifty to fifty.
00:24:14.420Now, since that time, the vaccine mandates have become even less popular.
00:24:18.420And since that time, Democrats have started to see that this whole fiasco needs to come to an end.
00:24:26.020They've started to realize how unpopular it is back home.
00:24:29.780So I think if we're able to cast this vote, I think we not only get every Republican,
00:24:35.380I think there's a decent shot. We've even got some Democrats who will vote for it because the American people don't want it.
00:24:42.820They know that it's morally wrong for government to tell people that if you don't bow to presidential medical orthodoxy,
00:24:51.220we're going to render you not only unemployed, but unemployable. That's wrong.
00:24:54.980So when does this go up, Mike? When when when are you guys hoping to pull this off?
00:25:06.180The current continuing resolution expires on Friday.
00:25:10.500And so it'll happen sometime between now and the end of this week where they will need to move forward.
00:25:18.260And in order to process this, they will need to need to give us a vote. Remember, they did this just just back in December.
00:25:25.460There's no reason why they couldn't do that again now. And I think it's important that we do it.
00:25:31.220I think it would be irresponsible and disrespectful of those we represent to say, oh, no, we're just fine with with telling moms and dads across America
00:25:40.580that they're not going to be able to put bread on the table if they disagree with the president on whether they should get jab.
00:25:48.740So this is H.R. six, six, one, seven, correct?
00:25:55.620Yeah, that's the number of the continuing resolution passed by the House when it comes over here.
00:26:01.900We want to vote on an amendment to it.
00:26:04.040Okay, so you you need to call your senators and tell them that on the continuing resolution, you want the Mike Lee amendment and and make sure that they hear your voice.
00:26:21.220It actually does matter, especially if they're on the fence, if they're just convinced otherwise.
00:26:26.420But there's a lot of people, even Democrats now, as Mike said, that could be swayed.
00:26:31.120So call your congressman on the continuing resolution in the Senate this week.
00:26:36.720You want the Mike Lee amendment passed and you don't want federal mandates to be funded anymore.
00:26:48.260I'm sorry, media protects all of our military, protects our health care workers and protects those who are working for the federal government.
00:26:56.420Right now, Mike, thank you for your work on this.
00:27:00.700Can I ask you a couple of other nonrelated questions?
00:27:06.720OK, I just had President Trump on a minute ago and he said that this spying, if it is as we think it is with the Durham investigation and what facts we have, he says it's worse than Watergate.
00:27:30.400Yeah, I tend to agree with you and what you've described yesterday, which is this information.
00:27:37.080If this is true, this is a highly effective, highly intrusive and extraordinarily breathtakingly illegal form of manipulation that would put what happened in Watergate to shame.
00:27:53.360So, yeah, this is this is really troubling.
00:28:06.680States all over the country are considering now we've got about 23 states that are considering anti ESG laws.
00:28:14.420Can you put the Great Reset into context for people on how important you think this is to what we're really facing?
00:28:24.620Yeah, well, first of all, when people read your book on this very topic, they'll see some things that are coming that are very disturbing.
00:28:38.460And it's it's one of the reasons why we ought to look not only at what happens within governments, but also what happens within corporate America that can change outcomes for society that can diminish choices for individual people.
00:28:55.080And how do you book is a great how do you informed on that?
00:29:13.660Well, it's not limited to that if if if this movement, if these things happening is part of the Great Beach said limited themselves to the free market.
00:29:28.980They're working arm in arm, hand in hand across platforms, across nations and across governments and between governments and corporations.
00:29:39.260And so all of these things have to be taken together.
00:29:44.840And this isn't solely a corporate action.
00:29:48.000So it's not fair to say this is just a free market because these folks aren't content to compete with that.
00:29:54.460There's a we've got a great leader in Utah.
00:29:57.580Our our state treasurer, Marlo Oaks, has been talking a lot about ESG and he's got a background in investing.
00:30:07.480And he's pointed out what a very significant threat this is to liberty and the fact that if this is allowed to take hold, this is where you get this very unholy alliance between governments and corporations that can really do a lot of harm to economies, but especially to poor and middle class families in America.
00:30:29.360I have to tell you, Mike, if you look at what happened yesterday with the Treasury up in Canada, it is the Great Reset without being the Great Reset.
00:30:44.480If you want to find out or help this guy, he is he and Rand Paul have the highest score for conservatives in the Senate out of all of them.
00:32:24.520And I do have to say that after listening to you the last couple of minutes, perhaps we need to get a prince on board to maybe pass through.
00:32:43.900Well, I don't think you want that particular prince.
00:32:47.680So tell me what you tell me how you got on to this and what it took to get it to the place that it's at and what's it going to take to get it over the hump there in Kansas.
00:33:00.840Well, I've been aware of what social credit score in China and ESGs for quite a while, probably due to you and a couple of others who brought it to attention months or maybe even years ago.
00:33:14.260And I did happen to hear you interview with J.D. in New Hampshire a few weeks ago, and that sparked me to go ahead and do the bill.
00:33:27.380I think it's a good bill, but I'll tell you what.
00:33:30.060They are coming out of the woodwork against it from the banking side and some from the business side.
00:33:35.380Well, yeah, and they don't like it at all.
00:33:39.400And so we've got some really good support on one side.
00:33:43.080We've got some strong up-deposition on the other.
00:33:45.200So, yeah, I'm just hoping we can get the grassroots behind it.
00:33:55.920They're pulling Republicans off of this by saying, you know, that it's a freedom of the market and the free market.
00:34:06.380And, you know, we don't want to tell businesses what they can and can't do.
00:34:09.180So Mike Lee was just on, and I just asked him about that argument, and you should go back and listen to it, because that's the argument a lot of Republicans are starting to make, and it's nonsense.
00:34:23.620No bank or trust company doing business in this state, either directly or through the use of an outside contractor, shall discriminate against, advocate for, or cause-averse treatment of any individual business or other customer based on subjective or arbitrary standards, including, but not limited to, social media posts, participation or membership in any club, association, or union, political affiliation, employer, social credit score, environmental, social, or governance criteria.
00:34:53.620And then you go on to say, this doesn't mean that you, I mean, if there's safety for the bank, because there's something else you can consider that, but you just can't do this.
00:35:07.840And of course, you can, you can look at somebody's loan worthiness.
00:35:10.920And then it says, you can offer ESG products, but you have to explain what they are, and then the penalties.
00:35:20.940Then you do the same thing for credit unions, and what's the third one for, or is there only two?
00:35:36.980Well, the argument is from the bankers is they're afraid of frivolous lawsuits, as I said.
00:35:42.960And, you know, I made the comment, I said, you're afraid of something that's unknown, while we are avoiding paying attention to something that's known, that's, you know, this big behemoth that's riding down on us.
00:35:56.380And you're worried about the little guy with the, you know, with the rubber, bow and arrow behind the tree, you know?
00:36:03.780I mean, you know, if I'm going to sue you, it'll be thrown out as a frivolous suit, unless you are using a social credit score, unless you are, you know, using environmental, social, or governance criteria, or you won't do business with me because I voted for Donald Trump.
00:36:19.600That stuff we know is going to happen.
00:36:29.180It's not been set for a hearing in the finance committee.
00:36:32.980They should set a date here, maybe today or tomorrow, and we'll take it from there.
00:36:38.780I did tell them, we had a meeting with a number of bankers' representatives and representatives of the speaker yesterday, and they voiced their opposition and their, you know, their proponent side as well.
00:36:57.220Most of them are familiar with the CRT stuff.
00:37:00.500I did tell them, we were lucky enough to have Tim Lindsay here a week ago, and he tied a good job of tying the two together, and that's when I picked up about 12 more Coast Busters.
00:37:15.040And then once we, so anyway, I told them, I said, these two things are both, you know, gears in a machine, and if we can take a couple of them out, we can at least slow the machine down.
00:37:26.760And I told them, I said, I hope that you don't look back on this day and say, oh, we're going to stop this, and now it's too late.
00:37:34.480And so, so what do you need, what do you need people in Kansas to do?
00:37:40.640I need them to contact the chair of the finance institution, financial institutions, Representative Jim Kelly, the House majority, the House Speaker, and your individual representative.
00:37:54.820If you live in Kansas, send in your own words what you would like to happen, and tell them it's important that this gets through, and they get a saying, I can give you the, I can give you the email for Jim Kelly if you'd like.
00:39:11.700Well, as we're seeing in many places across the country that are working on this issue, and there are about 20 states doing something on an anti-ESG bill, the biggest opposition we're seeing is coming because all of these bills are being proposed in states where Republicans have most of the political power, if not all of it.
00:39:30.780What we're seeing is that it's the biggest opposition is coming from Republicans, and the Republicans who are arguing against it.
00:39:39.440It's usually just a small group of them.
00:39:41.820But they're saying this is a free market issue, and you just need to let banks and financial institutions and all these people discriminate against individuals and other businesses as they see fit because that's their argument.
00:39:54.440If it was a bank, great, but it's all of the banks coordinating with the government and big business on an agenda that doesn't, I mean, by their own words, they say it's not based on profit.
00:40:12.620It is based on environmental standards, social standards, on making the world a better place.
00:40:20.440Well, that's not the free market, man.
00:40:29.280These are massive, often multinational corporations that have no allegiance to the United States at all in many cases, that have massive amounts of their ownership is overseas.
00:40:40.860They don't have any allegiance to the Constitution.
00:40:43.580They have special legal and tax advantages that the rest of us don't have.
00:40:47.460They regularly receive bailouts and government funding that regular people don't get.
00:40:52.460They work hand in hand with government.
00:40:54.280Many of them have lucrative government contracts.
00:40:57.140They get trillions and trillions of dollars have been pumped into the financial system through the Federal Reserve over the past 10 years.
00:41:03.680It's the only reason this system is able to exist because they're all going to get rich no matter what they do with ESG scores.
00:41:09.360So the idea that this is some sort of a free market system is the most ludicrous thing imaginable.
00:41:16.220There's nothing free market about this at all.
00:41:24.880He's a reporter, and he's been watching this.
00:41:28.520He said, in his Build Back Better legislation, President Joe Biden wanted to spend $570 billion over the next decade on green causes, mostly focused on climate change.
00:41:39.560Fortunately, that bill seems to be dead, and yet now the Biden Greens, that's to say the Green administration, have their eye on a bigger pot of money with which to pursue their climate agenda, the assets of American banks.
00:41:53.380These assets total nearly $23 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve.
00:41:59.680A crucial vote on whether or not this sneaky policy will proceed will be held, I think today, when the Senate Banking Committee votes on whether to advance Biden's Federal Reserve nominees, particularly the nomination of Sarah Bloom Raskin.
00:42:14.580The Federal Reserve system, the Fed, as it's called, is the principal body that oversees and regulates banking in the U.S.
00:42:21.700After the failure of Build Back Better, the Fed is Biden's preferred mechanism for advancing his version of the Green New Deal.
00:42:30.260After all, the Fed has vast power over the banks, including whether or not they can lend money to or otherwise finance fossil fuel companies.
00:42:38.320From the Biden point of view, this seems like a clever strategy.
00:42:42.180It has been said of the banks, that's where the money is.
00:42:45.380Biden wants to gain control of the Federal Reserve's seven-member board of governors.
00:42:50.060Of these seven slots, three are currently vacant.
00:42:54.120On January 14th, the White House named three candidates to fill those slots, all of whom are friendly to the Green scheme and to the Great Reset.
00:43:02.380If the trio is confirmed by the Senate, they will join a fourth Democrat already on the board, and the left will have gained control of the Fed.
00:43:35.000The Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero.
00:43:37.600You just mentioned 20-something trillion dollars in the United States tied up in banks.
00:43:41.940Well, the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero has more than 450 banks, insurers, and asset managers in dozens of countries around the world with total assets pledged toward enacting this whole Great Reset ESG scheme of $130 trillion.
00:43:59.660So the idea that this is just something that the little guy can – well, you know, if your local bank's discriminating against you, just go to a different bank.
00:44:08.960Oh, if a local corporation is discriminating, you just go to a – just buy from a different corporation.
00:44:17.260And the people who resist are going to be pushed out.
00:44:20.500They're already being pushed out by massive asset managers on Wall Street, BlackRock, and State Street Global Advisors and others.
00:44:27.760So you will have to go along with this.
00:44:31.060I want to play Canada's Minister of Finance yesterday during the Trudeau press conference on emergency powers.
00:44:40.100Listen carefully to what she says here.
00:44:42.500First, we are broadening the scope of Canada's anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules so that they cover crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use.
00:44:56.840These changes cover all forms of transactions, including digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies.
00:45:06.420The illegal blockades have highlighted the fact that crowdfunding platforms and some of the payment service providers they use are not fully captured under the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act.
00:47:27.460We're going to close all the off ramps.
00:47:29.440That's what this is fundamentally about.
00:47:33.460I would get your money out of those big banks, quite honestly, and I would put it in a local credit union or a very, very, very locally owned bank.
00:47:42.980Something that keeps all of their money and doesn't have ties to anybody else.
