The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Gabe Kaminsky & Carol Roth ｜ 2⧸13⧸23

00:00:00.000 Hey, it's Monday, and I think this is one of the better podcasts we've ever done, mainly because Stu's not here.

00:00:08.680 And, you know, that doesn't necessarily make for a better show, although it usually does.

00:00:15.040 It does mean it this time, because Stu is at the Super Bowl, and he wanted his,

00:00:23.340 Oh, I want the Eagles to win, and he brought his son so they could celebrate together,

00:00:28.060 and he's exceptionally sad today, which makes me exceptionally happy, because tomorrow he comes back.

00:00:36.800 And I'm not saying that I'm going to rub his nose in it at all, but I'm not not saying that either.

00:00:44.720 On today's program, we talk about that super, super grab-your-crotch-and-smell-your-fingers performance for the halftime show.

00:00:54.400 No, it was great.

00:00:56.420 We start with disinformation and who you can trust.

00:01:00.320 Ironically, at the beginning of the show, the New York Times is reporting that these balloons might be aliens from space.

00:01:11.160 By the end of the program, as you will hear, they retract that and said,

00:01:16.980 Nobody seriously is saying that.

00:01:19.860 Well, you were.

00:01:22.980 Maybe that's just me.

00:01:24.560 A ton of great stuff on today's show.

00:01:26.760 We begin in just a minute.

00:01:28.180 First, let me tell you about relief factor.

00:01:31.060 Relief factor is fantastic if you are in pain.

00:01:35.320 If you're in pain, you'll try just about anything.

00:01:38.920 I know I would.

00:01:40.720 I did.

00:01:41.380 Except, strangely, I'd go to doctors and they'd be like, 0.97

00:01:45.140 We've got to stick needles in your face. 1.00

00:01:47.980 And I'd be like, Okay, Chinese man. 1.00

00:01:50.260 Sounds great to me. 1.00

00:01:51.900 I'll stick needles in my face. 0.99

00:01:53.540 But when it came to, like, this is all natural? 1.00

00:01:56.780 No.

00:01:57.780 It's not going to work.

00:01:59.580 The needle guy didn't work either.

00:02:01.400 I'm not falling for that twice.

00:02:03.640 Well, I should have.

00:02:04.640 I should have tried it a lot earlier than I did.

00:02:07.260 Relief factor.

00:02:08.080 My wife made me try it. 0.83

00:02:09.780 I tried it for three weeks and it was fantastic.

00:02:12.420 I'm out of pain.

00:02:13.680 I can use my hands and paint.

00:02:15.980 And I have my life back.

00:02:18.060 Relief factor.

00:02:34.300 Here's a podcast.

00:02:41.500 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:49.220 Gabe, what a tremendous series of articles that you have written.

00:02:54.120 Thank you for being on the program.

00:02:56.560 Thank you very much, Glenn.

00:02:58.360 I appreciate that.

00:02:59.200 And thank you for having me.

00:03:00.340 You bet.

00:03:00.700 Okay, so explain what you have uncovered and why it's important.

00:03:08.380 We essentially unpacked in a multi-part series that we are still working on about how essentially these organizations,

00:03:17.880 particularly we highlighted a group called the Global Disinformation Index.

00:03:21.960 And these organizations are feeding secret blacklists to advertising companies with the intent of shutting down and defunding disfavored speech.

00:03:33.440 In this case, certainly conservative media.

00:03:37.100 And so we actually learned that the Washington Examiner, among other outlets, is on this blacklist and that this process is playing a very major role in how media outlets are gaining access to advertising dollars.

00:03:55.620 The second part of our series, sort of the most important part of this, I think, is that the United States government has funded the disinformation tracking organization that is, as we said, openly taking steps to defund and deplatform disfavored speech, certainly raising First Amendment issues.

00:04:18.640 Okay, well, hang on just a sec.

00:04:48.620 Thanks.

00:05:18.600 Their blacklist separately is something that they provide to advertising companies like Microsoft-owned Xander in order for those advertising companies to have insight into the outlets that they should allegedly deplatform and defund.

00:05:36.340 And what gives these people the expertise to make that determination?

00:05:46.520 Great question.

00:05:48.340 You know, that's obviously a question a lot of people's mind, certainly, Glenn.

00:05:52.380 You know, these organizations are heavily staffed with an oversaw, they're oversaw by people, university professors, writers, and journalists.

00:06:03.600 One individual on the board of the global disinformation indexes and Applebaum, a left-wing journalist who notably discredited the Hunter Biden laptop story.

00:06:13.340 Other individuals are involved with groups like the Pew Research Center, the Open Society Foundation, and NVIDIA, notably.

00:06:23.900 Yeah.

00:06:24.580 Yeah.

00:06:24.900 Okay.

00:06:25.460 So, they're going around.

00:06:27.860 And, I mean, this is something that Media Matters was doing.

00:06:33.200 And, really, despite what is said in the papers quite unaffectively with me when I was on just radio and Fox, and they would target and target and target and target.

00:06:48.160 But, now, you're looking really at Google and Amazon as the big advertisers, and they're targeting all of these agencies, if you will, that are really media platforms, correct?

00:07:10.240 That's right.

00:07:11.320 But, you know, a group like this, which obviously, you know, has certainly flown under the radar, has developed major influence, clearly, in the advertising space, based on the fact that Microsoft, we learned, was subscribing to this list.

00:07:28.500 Microsoft, obviously, one of the largest corporations throughout the world.

00:07:36.480 I'm just looking at the review of the Huffington Post.

00:07:40.180 Their risk level is low, so feel free to advertise.

00:07:46.000 The Huffington Post largely features fact-based, unbiased content free of sensational text or visuals.

00:07:55.160 The domain also refrained for perpetuating divisive narratives via the negative targeting of groups or individuals, you know, unless you're conservative or Republican.

00:08:05.380 The outlet scores for the operations pillar indicators are imperfect, but it is better than most.

00:08:13.600 Wow.

00:08:15.140 Wow.

00:08:16.140 So, that's good.

00:08:17.220 Yeah, and what I would like to flag, Glenn, is that the organizations, the news outlets that the Global Disinformation Index ranks as the 10 least riskiest, they all skew to the left, except the Wall Street Journal.

00:08:32.500 But notably, they flagged Huffington Post, now HuffPost, and BuzzFeed News as allegedly the 10 riskiest outlets.

00:08:40.380 As your listeners may remember, these are two media outlets that heavily peddled the Steele dossier that intended to link Donald Trump to Russia.

00:08:49.640 They also peddled the false notion that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation.

00:08:54.820 These are two very problematic, legitimate disinformation campaigns that seeped into the American consciousness.

00:09:02.520 Well, and I don't think people understand.

00:09:04.300 The Wall Street Journal is actually used to be, I don't know if it is anymore, it used to be more liberal in its news pages than the New York Times.

00:09:14.640 But because of the editorial section being so conservative, it just kind of got this rap that it wasn't.

00:09:21.880 But it's a very liberal newspaper when it comes to the news.

00:09:28.240 Yeah, I mean, what we tried to highlight again is the fact that the 10 allegedly least risky outlets, that certainly is problematic given the stories that they've promoted in the past.

00:09:42.120 Whereas, when you look at the outlets labeled the riskiest outlets, essentially like the Washington Examiner or the Blaze, these are outlets that actually were right on this material first.

00:09:54.100 You know, the Washington Examiner verified the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop.

00:09:58.260 And so did several other outlets long before legacy media actually took an honest attempt to take a look at that information.

00:10:05.640 You know, it's funny because I don't see, I don't see any, on the riskiest, on the riskiest domains or apps, I don't see a single liberal on here.

00:10:18.000 And I see almost every single conservative.

00:10:23.780 It's quite a list.

00:10:25.280 Can we go back to now where the government is funding?

00:10:28.480 Because even our State Department is funding this.

00:10:31.200 That's right.

00:10:33.780 The State Department has granted $330,000 to the Global Disinformation Index through two specific entities.

00:10:43.140 One, the Global Engagement Center, which is essentially a grant-making arm through the State Department,

00:10:48.980 that actually came under fire in Twitter files reported by journalist Matt Taibbi,

00:10:54.800 because that same organization was contacting Twitter and asking them to engage in content moderation related to the coronavirus and vaccines in particular in 2020.

00:11:10.560 So that's one entity that has funded the Global Disinformation Index.

00:11:14.660 The other State Department entity is the National Endowment for Democracy, which is a nonprofit group that was authorized through Congress that is funded almost entirely through congressional appropriations.

00:11:26.820 And I would really flag that the board of the National Endowment for Democracy has oversight over who receives grants.

00:11:34.160 And Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, a Republican, a staunch Trump advocate, in the line with former President Donald Trump, she sits on the board of that organization.

00:11:48.900 It's quite a mess.

00:11:51.620 How is this going to be cleaned up?

00:11:52.980 So, you know, we've received word from a few members of Congress who have said, you know, this raises major issues and they would hope to investigate this.

00:12:04.380 One is Representative Michael McCaul, who is the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which oversees grants to the State Department.

00:12:12.240 Another is Representative Jim Banks of Indiana, who has been a staunch advocate of the First Amendment and anti-censorship operations.

00:12:20.480 But certainly, you know, certainly, you know, a lot of Americans are hoping that members of Congress can take adequate steps to investigate this situation in particular, because this really feeds into a lot that was revealed with the Twitter files between public and private partnerships.

00:12:40.080 And I think that does raise a lot of concerns with American voters.

00:12:44.080 Gabe, I thank you for exposing this and all the work you guys do at the Examiner.

00:12:48.680 You're you're you're you're a really reputable site and you do a lot of great work.

00:12:54.020 So thank you.

00:12:55.480 Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

00:12:56.760 You bet.

00:12:57.580 Bye bye.

00:13:02.180 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:13:14.100 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:13:16.000 Now, I look, I love grinding and and the the football field full of humping as much as the next person.

00:13:32.780 Sure.

00:13:34.300 But I was maybe just a little off put, just a little off put by the Beyonce.

00:13:44.020 I don't know where they Oompa Loompas.

00:13:49.160 I walk in and I thought, oh, my gosh, there's been some sort of hazardous chemical spill in the in the stadium.

00:13:59.480 And then I realized, no, because they wouldn't be showing their chest and their bellies.

00:14:04.740 And I thought that was tasteful.

00:14:08.540 Hot.

00:14:09.340 Sure. 0.99

00:14:10.160 When Beyonce grabbed her junk and then smelled her hand and then put her hand in the mouth, I thought she is classy. 1.00

00:14:22.220 Oh, yeah. 0.99

00:14:23.900 Rihanna.

00:14:24.440 Sorry.

00:14:25.120 Beyonce.

00:14:26.060 Rihanna.

00:14:26.880 Whatever.

00:14:28.060 Whatever.

00:14:30.500 She's that super huge star that does that. 1.00

00:14:34.920 Oh, her super, super classics that she was doing last night.

00:14:38.780 And I think, you know, I saw the picture of her, you know, and and I thought, you know, that's she should have combed her hair before.

00:14:50.120 You know, when you get out of bed, your hair standing straight up like that and you shouldn't.

00:14:53.980 But, you know, hey, to each his own.

00:14:55.600 I just thought it was classy and I want to thank.

00:14:59.320 No, no, no.

00:15:00.740 I'm going to I'm going to tell you the truth. 1.00

00:15:02.640 My children would like to thank the NFL for them seeing her grab her crotch and smell her fingers and lick it in front of her in front of their mom and dad. 1.00

00:15:16.660 They enjoyed that as much as we did, as much as we did. 0.99

00:15:21.520 It's a great family event.

00:15:23.360 And so thank you.

00:15:25.520 Thank you so much for that.

00:15:26.600 Now, let me go back to a couple of studies that I've that I find very interesting.

00:15:33.740 You know, I just gave you the two studies from The Washington Post that that shows that liberals are more interested in the ends and they don't really care about the means where conservatives actually do care about freedom of speech.

00:15:50.420 And, you know, the Constitution and Bill of Rights and stuff, which is weird.

00:15:55.560 And it explains why liberals always say they don't really care.

00:16:01.720 No, we actually do.

00:16:04.300 We actually do.

00:16:07.780 We care about the process a great deal, even if it goes against us.

00:16:12.180 We believe that's the American way.

00:16:15.220 But but very few liberals believe in that they and that's the difference.

00:16:21.120 Those are the people you're seeing peel away.

00:16:23.040 Now, you're seeing people peel away from the left that are actual classical liberals.

00:16:30.600 They are people that believe in the Bill of Rights and believe in America and and the process matters.

00:16:39.180 Those are the people who are coming over and they're not becoming conservatives.

00:16:44.040 They're just recognizing, wow, I'm not progressive like that.

00:16:48.920 I actually love my country and would like to have it get better in the way to get it, you know, to be better is to, I don't know, live by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

00:17:01.300 All right.

00:17:01.980 So that was the first one.

00:17:03.260 Now, I've got another shocking, shocking report.

00:17:08.500 Apparently, a new study from the Survey Center on American Life found that Republican men and women are significantly happier in their marriage than their Democratic counterparts.

00:17:24.380 According to the survey, Republican men report being most satisfied in their relationships and men.

00:17:33.300 Can I just say, of course, because we got the little woman in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. 1.00

00:17:39.360 Am I right?

00:17:41.140 No, actually, not so much.

00:17:44.560 Democratic women, you know, the ones that Democrats empower and are always trying to say, oh, you are the best. 1.00

00:17:54.100 Listen, I'm not going to call you a sweetheart.

00:17:55.760 You are the best.

00:17:56.880 You go out there and you get a job.

00:17:58.980 You go and do all that you can do, babe, because that's who you are.

00:18:04.040 You're just like me.

00:18:05.520 You want to have a thing in your pants? 0.94

00:18:08.620 That's great with me, too.

00:18:10.600 There's no difference between the two of us.

00:18:12.880 And that might explain the man you found in my bed last night.

00:18:16.800 But I thought it was you, sweetheart.

00:18:19.440 I did.

00:18:19.940 So 48 percent of those surveyed Republican men, 48 percent stated they were completely satisfied in their marriage.

00:18:28.600 Forty two percent of Republican married women say they're completely satisfied.

00:18:33.680 But see, these bless their heart.

00:18:36.020 They're so cute.

00:18:37.440 These are just those people that have been hypnotized by religion and politics that are just being abused.

00:18:43.160 These women are in abusive relationships. 1.00

00:18:45.260 Trust me, you ask any professor at any college, you ask anybody who studies women in women's studies, and they'll tell you that's the truth right there. 0.99

00:18:57.420 Now, only 36 percent of Democrat married men and 29 percent of Democrat married women say they're satisfied with their marriage.

00:19:07.000 Huh?

00:19:08.200 Republicans.

00:19:09.000 And this is going to come as a shock to you.

00:19:10.620 Republicans and Democrats view gender roles dramatically differently.

00:19:16.680 Well, of course we do, because we understand there are only two genders. 1.00

00:19:24.040 So it doesn't get all murky.

00:19:25.940 You know, once you start adding the the magic fire breathing unicorn she people, you know, it just gets complex.

00:19:37.760 Republicans tend to embrace traditional gender roles, while Democrats tend to question them.

00:19:43.480 Modern liberal Democrats attribute gender roles to establish social norms they deem to be oppressive.

00:19:50.700 You know, the government shouldn't be the ones making all the decisions.

00:20:04.080 You know, each person has a responsibility.

00:20:09.600 For instance, one brings the eggs, one brings the and you put those two together.

00:20:15.480 And it's like you got chocolate in my peanut butter and it turns into a baby.

00:20:20.460 Isn't that weird?

00:20:22.180 Anyway, they said this leaks into the relationships for the Democrats, often causing some to purportedly flip traditional gender roles on their heads.

00:20:33.360 On tick tock videos titled life as a stay at home husband or life of a trophy husband are an entire genre.

00:20:43.300 Now, wouldn't you love to be called a trophy husband or a trophy wife?

00:20:50.820 I think now I hate to be considered, you know, consistent.

00:20:56.700 I hate to say something that could hurt my own side.

00:21:00.280 But I think trophy wives are just as bad as trophy husbands. 1.00

00:21:05.140 Masculinity in Democratic homes is more likely to be toxic and stay at home mom is code for slave. 0.88

00:21:19.700 I'm glad we know that now.

00:21:21.480 I'm glad we know the dog whistles.

00:21:23.440 That way we can point it out when a liberal says stay at home mothers. 0.82

00:21:27.740 We know now that they're really meaning slaves.

00:21:32.500 Unfortunately, for progressives, men and women's differing yet complementary skills and talents are not a construct, but rooted in human biology.

00:21:47.660 What?

00:21:48.720 Human nature and biology.

00:21:52.920 Next thing you're going to tell me, you know what a woman is. 1.00

00:21:55.820 What?

00:21:56.220 Yes, they say that's not a social construct, but rooted in human biology and fighting human nature will never make one happy.

00:22:07.140 OK, so this is the problem with all the ideas that are coming from the left right now based in Marxism.

00:22:16.260 What does Marxism do?

00:22:18.600 It fights.

00:22:21.440 Nature.

00:22:22.080 That's why they have to enforce it. 0.86

00:22:26.780 That's why you that's why you have to.

00:22:29.320 It only happens at the barrel of a gun.

00:22:32.160 And when it's not a barrel of the gun, like it happened here in Texas in 1840, I think 1850.

00:22:40.040 There was a big here in Dallas.

00:22:41.980 There was a big commune of people.

00:22:44.980 They came over, of course, from France.

00:22:46.880 And they're like, we're going to try this Marxism thing.

00:22:49.680 And they moved out in the middle of nowhere.

00:22:52.500 And they started a socialist and honest to God socialist community.

00:22:58.880 That's what the big ball.

00:23:00.320 What is the thing called the big ball here?

00:23:02.960 And yeah, reunion tower.

00:23:05.420 That tower reunion is named after the town that was built right underneath that tower.

00:23:13.080 It was a huge socialist experiment and it didn't work to say the least.

00:23:20.380 Well, I mean, it did until they instead of killing the old people and the sick people, they just expelled them because society couldn't pay for it. 1.00

00:23:31.940 And then when people wouldn't work to pull their fair share, which was a lot, they expelled them, too.

00:23:39.980 That's what happens when it's a volunteer society.

00:23:43.060 It doesn't work.

00:23:44.620 So what do you do?

00:23:46.440 Well, you're not going to give up your power and say, oh, well, it didn't work.

00:23:50.720 You're just going to have to liquidate those people.

00:23:54.440 That's why it always goes wrong.

00:23:56.520 Anyway, back to the study, conservatives comparatively greater happiness goes beyond marriage.

00:24:05.980 They say in a 2022 American family survey, they found that 37 percent of conservative men reported they're completely satisfied with their life versus 21 percent of liberal men.

00:24:20.720 How can you, I'm surprised that 37 percent, only 37 percent, that's the high number, is happy with their life.

00:24:30.320 I mean, how would you answer that?

00:24:34.440 And what would make you say that you're not happy with your life?

00:24:37.960 Success?

00:24:39.680 Money?

00:24:41.940 I mean, what, what, I mean, if you're happily married.

00:24:48.500 I don't understand.

00:24:49.540 I mean, maybe it's just me, but, you know, the one thing that Tanya and I have learned is, and we've known this for many, many years, the importance of our faith.

00:25:05.460 But our family has been under attack from, I believe, dark forces, you know, in the last year.

00:25:14.660 And it has been, I mean, we have had everything thrown at us.

00:25:20.340 And Tanya and I have gotten to a place to where, especially with the kids, it's kind of like, oh, well, that's going to leave a mark.

00:25:28.960 But, hey, it's their mark to be left.

00:25:32.440 And, you know, we find ourselves, you know, kind of with the kids in slow motion.

00:25:37.600 And first we're like, don't do that.

00:25:39.360 Don't, you don't want to do it.

00:25:40.520 Don't stop.

00:25:41.380 Don't, you really don't.

00:25:43.100 And then they just kind of go into slow motion.

00:25:45.660 And then we look at each other and go, wow.

00:25:48.520 Wow.

00:25:48.880 That's going to take a lot of therapy.

00:25:50.320 But the good news is they'll be paying for it.

00:25:53.020 So, we've kind of come to this place to where we're fine and we know that in the end, the family will be fine if we all just try to do the right thing.

00:26:05.200 And if they don't do the right thing, well, they're going to learn one way or another.

00:26:10.480 And we can't control everybody.

00:26:13.280 We can't.

00:26:13.620 They're adults.

00:26:14.340 You got to make your own decisions.

00:26:17.640 And it leads to such happiness.

00:26:19.700 I mean, Tanya and I, in our darkest times, have been able to laugh.

00:26:25.680 I don't think that's ever happened before.

00:26:28.080 Because we never had times this dark.

00:26:30.540 But she hasn't found me funny since about two weeks after we got married.

00:26:39.100 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:26:49.700 Carol Roth is with us.

00:27:02.000 And Carol Roth is, she's my favorite advisor on anything the economy.

00:27:11.420 Because she's a former investment banker, so she understands it at the highest level.

00:27:15.360 And then she realized, wow, I think all of these people might be in league with Satan.

00:27:21.300 My words, not hers.

00:27:23.380 But she got out of that, and now she's trying to help the average person. 0.88

00:27:28.740 She wrote The War on Small Business, and she has a new book coming out.

00:27:32.140 We'll talk about it here in a second.

00:27:33.540 All right, Carol, you're back?

00:27:35.120 I am back.

00:27:36.020 I think it was the Chinese spy balloon.

00:27:38.040 I think it was.

00:27:38.920 It's my connection.

00:27:40.020 We're talking about China buying gold, and they obviously didn't want you to have this information.

00:27:44.320 Yeah, well, now we're safe.

00:27:45.940 We're on a landline.

00:27:48.020 So we have some of those old-timey things here.

00:27:52.240 So, Carol, tell me what's happening with China buying up the gold.

00:27:56.260 Yeah, so central banks around the world, record year last year, 2022, 1,136 tons of gold.

00:28:03.300 The interesting data point was China, for the first time since 2019, they announced that they had increased their purchases, their net holdings, of gold in November.

00:28:16.400 And now there has been three consecutive months of them buying gold.

00:28:21.400 And I really believe that this is meant as a signal that could be one of a couple of signals, but they all boil down to signals that relate to a new financial world order.

00:28:35.560 Would you do me a favor?

00:28:38.560 Yes.

00:28:39.000 I don't mean to put you on a spot, but could you explain how, this is so out of your wheelhouse and it's going to come out of left field, can you explain how electricity is made?

00:28:50.660 I can't, I'm the daughter of an electrician and you're going to put me on the spot in terms of how electricity is made.

00:28:58.720 But obviously we do know that it's powered by all different sorts of, you know, different sorts of fuels, including it particularly in the United States and other places around the world, fossil fuels.

00:29:10.560 But what do the fossil, you burn the fossil fuels to move a turbine, right?

00:29:16.160 And the turbine is moving and it's moving, you know, around, uh, copper wires and the copper wires that is actually inside a magnet.

00:29:28.160 So without magnets, you cannot make electricity.

00:29:32.960 Okay.

00:29:34.220 Correct.

00:29:34.980 All right.

00:29:36.320 Would you do me a favor?

00:29:38.080 Yes.

00:29:38.480 I believe there's two, there's two, um, particles or whatever, uh, uh, minerals or whatever that make magnets.

00:29:50.600 There's two different, uh, materials that make a magnet.

00:29:55.340 I believe that like a hundred percent of one of those comes from Russia and a hundred percent of the other one comes from China.

00:30:05.780 And I have read, but I want you to look into this.

00:30:10.780 I just read this weekend that both of those, uh, countries just signed an agreement that they are working together now on the magnets and that this is going to be another, uh, source of like gold for them, that they will trade based on, on the magnets.

00:30:35.760 And those, uh, materials as well.

00:30:38.660 All right.

00:30:38.860 Well, I don't, I don't know about magnets as a hard asset yet.

00:30:42.920 No, no, no.

00:30:43.300 I know.

00:30:43.900 No, I know.

00:30:44.760 But I, the only reason why I would bring this up is because when you look at what was being done to our electricity all over and you look how we are just, we're being torched all over the country.

00:30:58.740 And all over the world, um, things to make electricity are going to become, uh, uh, much more, uh, valuable.

00:31:07.340 And I'm, I don't even care if it's backing up their money.

00:31:10.780 I want to know if it's true that they are the main source for all magnets.

00:31:15.480 And if they just did an agreement between each other, uh, that they're working together on magnets.

00:31:22.900 What, what I can tell you is that there are a whole slew of commodities, um, you know, that need to be, uh, dug up from the earth that we, you know, these green energy folks are relying on for electricity.

00:31:36.380 And, you know, for these other components that they have that, you know, are not only, you know, heavily available in China and Russia, but also all of the countries where China has been investing through its Belt and Road initiatives.

00:31:50.020 So it would not be surprising that, you know, this would be one of many of them.

00:31:54.940 Um, but do we want to go back to, to the gold piece?

00:31:58.320 Yes.

00:31:58.980 Sorry.

00:31:59.640 Sorry.

00:31:59.960 Sorry.

00:32:00.240 No, this is, this is important stuff.

00:32:02.060 And I think that it's all related.

00:32:03.420 Um, basically, you know, we, we really have to blame the government and the federal reserve.

00:32:09.860 We have had the privilege of King dollar being the world reserve currency.

00:32:15.440 And, you know, not to say that it doesn't have downsides.

00:32:18.380 One of the downsides is that you have to manage the dollar for competing interests, the benefit of the people in the U S as well as global stability.

00:32:26.780 Our fed and government have managed to do neither.

00:32:29.960 We have eroded purchasing power here in the U S and we have not had global stability.

00:32:35.980 So looking at China announcing, okay, we're signaling that we are increasing our reserves could very well be a signal to say, we're trying to, you know, enhance the death, the natural death of King dollar that the U S is putting forth.

00:32:53.520 And they have been talking to all different kinds of countries, um, about, you know, settling in their currency, the Yuan, which given the fact that they're a communist country, people aren't really excited about, but if they can then say, well, we can swap that for gold, we're increasing our gold.

00:33:10.640 That might give more stability to their currency.

00:33:14.720 On the other hand, it could be a signal saying, we're getting ready to invade Taiwan.

00:33:21.240 Because if you look at what happened with Russia, uh, before they invaded Ukraine, they were shedding U S treasury securities and they were stocking up on gold, which is exactly what China is doing right now.

00:33:33.140 Um, and you know, so that, that could be a signal, but that relates back to a new world order as well, from a financial standpoint, because we have never had a changing of a financial guard without a war preceding it.

00:33:47.900 So, you know, those two things are somewhat interconnected with, you know, the dollar and, you know, kind of the U S is global financial standing right in the middle of it.

00:33:59.100 Are you following this balloon nonsense at all?

00:34:03.140 I mean, I, I love balloons.

00:34:05.360 So of course I'm following the balloon nonsense.

00:34:07.580 So are you in Chicago now?

00:34:09.680 So I'm actually not in an undisclosed location where the, the spy balloon.

00:34:15.520 Right.

00:34:15.920 Right.

00:34:16.460 I understand that.

00:34:17.360 So they shot one over, uh, the great lakes.

00:34:20.460 They, I mean, they, they brought down three of these things and you know, the Pentagon is like, well, we're not ruling out that that might be an alien ship from outer space. 0.82

00:34:31.780 And you're like, what, I mean, this is so ridiculous. 0.76

00:34:36.240 What? 0.89

00:34:37.340 And I'm just trying to think, what would the advantage be for China?

00:34:42.700 If it indeed was a Chinese balloon to keep sending these things, that wouldn't make sense.

00:34:47.760 Would it to you?

00:34:49.040 Uh, I mean, listen, I, I'm a financial person.

00:34:52.700 I'm not a foreign policy person.

00:34:54.980 So, you know, my, my interpretation of this may, may make no sense, but it does seem, you know, a test, you know, how strong is the U S going to react when we push them?

00:35:05.800 When we look at this administration, you know, how far can we push the envelope without them pushing back?

00:35:12.520 So that is the, that is the, the idea.

00:35:15.980 And I, I mean, all of a sudden we're tough guys on balloons.

00:35:18.740 I mean, don't blow one up for your kid's birthday party.

00:35:21.380 Cause it, it might come under attack.

00:35:24.160 Um, but the, you know, every, and they're made in China.

00:35:27.900 So they might not be great.

00:35:29.160 Right.

00:35:29.780 And, you know, everything that is being done now is to fight, uh, a war, at least a financial war.

00:35:38.120 And I just, uh, I don't see this going, you know, we had not great relationships with China under Donald Trump, but they were better than this.

00:35:48.340 And, uh, this is, this is just not going well.

00:35:51.680 And I, I'd rather not be on the, uh, receiving end of balloons for my party from Russia and China at the same time.

00:36:02.800 Yeah, no, it's, it's not a good, um, scenario.

00:36:06.220 And whether that war plays out, you know, purely on a financial basis where you get these different blocks that decide to do trade in a different way.

00:36:15.720 You know, Saudi Arabia started signaling that they are open to settling oil, um, in currencies other than the dollar.

00:36:23.620 We weaponize the dollar obviously against, um, uh, against Russia during the Ukraine.

00:36:30.260 So, you know, it could be financial, you know, God forbid, it could end up having some more, you know, physical, actual war components.

00:36:37.860 But all of these things, you know, speak to the deteriorating strength of the U.S., you know, in general and as a financial powerhouse.

00:36:46.440 And I think that's the concern for your listeners in terms of protecting their assets, because, you know, the U.S. dollar is not what it used to be.

00:36:56.360 Uh, Carol Roth, she is the author of a brand new book called You Will Own Nothing.

00:37:02.260 We're showing the, uh, cover of it.

00:37:04.020 When does it come out, Carol?

00:37:05.000 Oh, you're really, so this is the first time the cover has ever been seen.

00:37:09.860 It's really good.

00:37:10.340 So a little sneak peek for the Glenn Beck folks.

00:37:12.760 Yeah.

00:37:13.060 Um, it comes out May 9th.

00:37:15.080 If you go to carolroth.com slash Glenn, you can leave your email and I'll send you more information as that becomes available.

00:37:21.460 But we're talking about all these new financial world order things and how you can fight back.

00:37:25.740 That is the crux of it.

00:37:26.640 That's fantastic.

00:37:27.480 Thank you so much, Carol.

00:37:28.440 Appreciate it.

00:37:29.280 You will own nothing.

00:37:30.320 Make sure you grab your copy, uh, and pre-order now because I have a feeling it's going to be big.

00:37:36.900 Na, na, na, na, na, na...

00:37:39.200 Na, na, na, na, na, na, na.

00:37:41.160 Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
