00:00:00.000
it's interesting to get a an answer to a question that i've asked many times and
00:00:03.360
never actually had an answer to today was the pope crap in the woods
00:00:08.080
no it was not no that wasn't that wasn't the question it wasn't the question it was about
00:00:13.060
school choice and why i don't know arizona gets school choice yet bright red states that could
00:00:20.460
easily pass it and is incredibly popular among its voters why don't they get school choice
00:00:24.720
yeah we learned that lesson today we had the uh the state freedom caucus uh chairman uh trying to
00:00:32.760
get all of the states involved and what's terrifying is he's going to conservative states the story he
00:00:38.840
told about alabama is just amazing bizarre um he's gone to several states and meets with the most
00:00:44.600
conservative and realizes they're not conservative at all and we can't open a freedom caucus here
00:00:51.700
um so far there are 10 states but it's really important to get involved with that we'll tell
00:00:57.800
you all about that also justin haskins the co-author of my book the great reset is here to tell us about
00:01:04.440
something that every person needs it is probably the most important story um in the world today
00:01:13.180
because it will completely change everything and we're on the precipice of it happening uh that story
00:01:20.020

00:01:55.820
you're listening to the best of the blend back program
00:02:07.820
all righty well let me give you a couple of things here that i think you really need to know
00:02:16.340
and understand um because 2023 is going to be a pivotal um uh year
00:02:25.700
i have talked to people that i trust in washington and that's about four uh four people
00:02:32.260
uh and they are very concerned that the u.s dollar is going to um have some problems this year which
00:02:41.540
might lead to the central bank digital currency um the federal reserve is doing everything they can
00:02:49.920
to make sure that everything is safe you know after the big banking crash
00:02:54.320
um they had you know one of these um stress tests and they're like we're gonna do a stress test
00:03:00.840
because we got to make sure that everybody you know you got all those loans and you can cover
00:03:06.460
anything that's risky so we want to find out what's risky okay sounds good so far right it's good to know
00:03:13.900
can the bank survive a downturn how risky are their investments um and so they were doing that and it was
00:03:21.980
great wonderful then there was this added little benefit that the fed is um is doing now
00:03:40.240
if you are a bank and you have let's say green energy like solar panel companies
00:03:49.420
you not only are more stable as a bank you can use that investment in solar panel companies
00:04:00.340
to actually use it as an asset a very stable asset to be able to loan more money out to somebody else
00:04:08.980
so the more green energy things you have which we have seen oh my gosh how many solar panel companies did you invest in america
00:04:23.360
it is now weakening the stress test it is doing the exact opposite problem
00:04:30.220
it is it it it's it's insanity it's like uh you know what uh you're safe to drive down the freeway
00:04:40.900
without your seat belt uh you know as long as you're texting at the same time then it'll be totally safe
00:04:47.680
that's what the fed is doing meanwhile our prices of everything still are skyrocketing energy
00:04:56.240
is down which the fed is going that's great see that's going to reduce everything
00:05:01.000
meanwhile if you are trying to buy eggs in california this is going to blow your mind
00:05:09.920
california a dozen eggs is now seven dollars and 37 cents
00:05:16.920
compared to two dollars and 35 cents a year ago
00:05:22.080
the problem is people are switching to eggs because they're cheaper than meat
00:05:28.900
which by the way we're trying to get rid of the meat i mean you know that right
00:05:37.160
we we we are sitting here uh with bugs now being discussed i got a great story on that
00:05:46.160
and the show prep today you you want to sign up for it at glenbeck.com it's free
00:05:50.180
you get all of the stories that i see every morning um and uh and you can read them all these are the
00:05:57.080
stories that i have selected i said this is important not all of them make it on the show
00:06:01.000
but one of them another one is about bugs this restaurant in new york that is like we have
00:06:07.220
ethiopian ants in our creme fraiche huh and that's a certain je ne sais quoi by the way those
00:06:14.040
ants are alive while they put them on your whatever no thank you and in this particular article from
00:06:23.560
new york it actually states we're doing it because of the carbon expense of traditional food
00:06:33.520
so we're now looking to eat bugs yesterday i also told you that um uh the richard trumpka
00:06:43.800
from the consumer protection agency has declared because he got a study from a global warming group
00:06:52.560
that natural gas is very bad for your children if it's in your house so we shouldn't really have
00:07:01.160
natural gas stoves and we shouldn't have natural gas you know heaters or anything natural gas
00:07:08.520
oh wow california sure is in trouble huh because they wanted to be really super green and so all of
00:07:19.660
their state cars and all of their buses and everything else natural gas no it's dangerous now
00:07:25.360
and in something that is so striking this study just came out richard trumpka just said we've got to
00:07:36.100
consider getting rid of all natural gas in homes and governor hochel yesterday just decided she's got some
00:07:43.760
legislation to make sure that there are no natural gas outlets in any new construction in new york
00:07:51.660
gang we are in trouble you better get to a state that is not doing it quite honestly i'm not sure it's texas
00:08:03.100
but you better get to a state where like-minded people are all around because they are going to cut us off
00:08:11.840
from everything but that's if we you know that's if if the fed doesn't help us some more i want to talk
00:08:21.720
to you about what's what is happening in asia russia prices of oil it's collapsing so it's going down
00:08:32.720
now which is making things better for europe yay they can buy more russian oil yay
00:08:39.460
meanwhile we're not doing anything about it but saudi arabia china russia they're starting to move
00:08:49.240
their entire economy russia is now backing their ruble with oil so it's like a oh it's like a petrodollar
00:08:58.840
oh that'll never work oh wait a minute that's what we did until saudi arabia said yeah we're gonna
00:09:06.460
accept anything really you chinese can pay us in the in the one we're fine with that we'll take a ruble
00:09:13.960
whatever what does it mean why have we not discussed what does it mean with the death of the petrodollar
00:09:25.300
it means that half the world the part of the world that's not with us is no longer required to hold
00:09:35.380
a dollar a u.s dollar what happens when half the world's countries say oh we don't need the dollar
00:09:46.160
they begin to sell them they already are and if they're sold what happens they go out in the system
00:09:55.460
instead of in a bank which does what too many dollars in the system chasing too few goods inflation goes up
00:10:04.220
so what do you do you raise interest rates well the problem now is as we are seeing the death of the
00:10:12.280
petrodollar um you're also seeing the fed in a very unusual place raising even another another half
00:10:22.980
point is spooking everybody who pays attention to this stuff the fed has to raise interest rates to get
00:10:31.440
interest or i mean to get inflation under control but when they do that this is how they control
00:10:39.120
inflation they take more money from you they slow your spending down and so that causes you not to
00:10:49.380
go chase those goods with the dollar okay and then they're supposed to take those dollars in interest
00:10:56.260
that they get take them back into the fed and destroy them so there's not too many dollars so the first step
00:11:03.280
on this road is to hurt you and your bank account and your ability to buy things the problem is we are now
00:11:12.160
looking at recession and inflation forget about stag stagflation forget about that forget about it
00:11:20.040
we're looking at something different we are looking at the dumping of the u.s dollar by the east
00:11:27.920
flooding the market flooding the market then you have higher interest rates hurting your bank account
00:11:35.800
to suck those dollars and your dollars back into the fed this will cause uh a uh if they raise the
00:11:44.480
interest rates this will cause a stock market crash but it causes the stock market crash because
00:11:53.160
your dollars and the banks need dollars to grow the companies so if there if there's a collapse of the
00:12:03.740
stock market people start selling things people start losing their houses and when that collapses
00:12:09.680
what happens the banks collapse because they've got them all but the good news is this time they have
00:12:17.400
all those solar panel companies so they got all the windmill and solar panel companies that good as gold
00:12:23.500
if they have to start selling those things who are they selling them to also this is a really nice handy thing
00:12:35.180
when the banks start to go under they immediately have to start have to start liquidating things and calling in loans
00:12:46.160
they have to stop giving loans so if you're in a tight spot and you need a loan the bank will no longer give you a loan
00:12:53.880
and if you go under you probably have a loan with some other bank and so it just is a it's a pile of dominoes
00:13:02.540
one thing triggers another and this time we're not looking at a 10-year reset because we didn't do it right the last time
00:13:12.660
we are looking now and they are officially saying this that we are now looking at a possibility of something like the great
00:13:21.520
depression or beyond and i say beyond because we are looking at the collapse of the dollar
00:13:29.320
if the stock market falls if the banking community begins to have the same problems that it had in 08
00:13:36.940
the problem is way too big because we no longer have a reserve currency for half the world
00:13:45.320
they can sell those dollars our enemy china they just dump all those dollars it would be worth it to
00:13:52.040
them because it would destroy us just dump them and then how much is it worth
00:13:58.180
see here's the here's the reason you should consider gold or silver and this is not a commercial
00:14:06.000
gold and silver are constitutionally dollars they are that's money that's currency
00:14:15.780
the dollar that we have is a note it says a it's worth this amount but that changes all the time
00:14:25.740
because of inflation it's not backed by anything
00:14:29.680
the problem is there's too much money there's not enough gold to reset the global markets to a gold
00:14:40.580
standard there's not enough gold even in the mines there's not enough gold to pay for what we have
00:14:48.500
all done all around the world and the entire world is in on it so when the federal reserve says
00:14:55.600
you know what we're going to print money because we can't let the stock market fail all of the
00:15:01.240
central banks in the west will do the same thing and then it's just a matter of time of when do we get
00:15:08.160
to the bottom please please consider what is coming our way i believe this is the beginnings of it we will
00:15:17.480
see this year uh and when it happens it will probably happen rapidly and people in the media will tell you
00:15:26.300
the exact opposite no no no they've got it planned whatever you do don't do whatever the right thing
00:15:39.780
the faa this morning stopped all flights you know just a little glitch in the system they couldn't
00:15:50.480
communicate with planes so they decided to stop all flights today they were stopped for about four
00:15:56.580
hours uh picked up again at 9 a.m buddha judge is on the case though he and uh joe so buddha judge woke
00:16:04.500
him up first thing this morning and said hey uh we got a total air shortage uh and no nothing's moving
00:16:14.120
because uh something happened to the computer but i'm pretty sure that it's not terrorism or anything
00:16:20.140
like that because this happens all the time anyway just want to say rest well uh pete buddha judge
00:16:27.900
mayor of uh bend is it bend new bend it's south bend south bend south bend that's what it's such a
00:16:34.740
big city that you just how could i have forgotten anyway um we have uh we have justin haskins with us
00:16:42.060
uh today he is the co-author of my book the great reset uh and we've been working
00:16:49.420
really hard on the new book i guess it's just now down to the printing uh and everything else
00:16:55.840
uh i think we need a title we do you know that's something we need you need that for a book i know
00:17:00.920
yeah i don't like the working title we don't need to get into it but you know it is this is
00:17:07.980
phase two of the great reset it's what's in play right now uh and we made some really good
00:17:16.740
progress with states on the great reset i mean i can't believe you and i both talked about before
00:17:23.760
the book came out this has to be understood by america esg has to be understood by america
00:17:29.980
and we didn't think it could happen and who was it time magazine or somebody blamed
00:17:36.100
the book uh on uh on educating people about esg yeah without a doubt i mean i have heard from
00:17:45.920
dozens and dozens probably hundreds of lawmakers across the country since the book came out yeah and
00:17:51.920
all the the resounding uh conclusion from them was we heard a special from glenn we listened to the
00:17:59.620
radio show or someone recommended that i read this book i started looking into this whole esg thing and
00:18:05.480
i cannot believe that we didn't see this i you know i talked to jonathan sacks you know jonathan
00:18:10.220
sacks is really brilliant guy and i'm talking to him and he said uh you know this esg thing i had
00:18:18.780
never even heard of it until you started talking about it yeah and he's like i'm listening to you
00:18:22.800
and i'm like no way yeah no way i get your book i can't believe it yeah well you and i didn't know
00:18:29.060
anything about it i know and we didn't believe it when we first heard it exactly anyway the uh world
00:18:33.760
economic forum is having their big um uh meeting i think it's next week isn't it uh yep and it's
00:18:41.260
their biggest ever ever they have 50 how many how many world leaders are going to be there
00:18:47.960
you have the numbers i don't have it it's hundreds it's it well the world actual oh heads of state is
00:18:53.780
like 56 i think um and five or 600 corporation ceos i mean anybody who said oh they don't have any
00:19:04.160
yes they do yeah this is this is the group that is redesigning and controlling your world yeah
00:19:14.640
without a doubt this is their big annual meeting that they do in davos uh pretty much every year
00:19:19.500
than the pandemic years and uh this year is no different than the past couple the theme is
00:19:26.320
essentially how do we take the crises of today and build entirely new systems that's esg that's
00:19:34.560
the great reset they're not using that language because they're terrified to say great reset they
00:19:38.140
never say that anymore but how do we take the crises of today the food crises um the the war with
00:19:44.260
ukraine all these different things and build our new system they're very open this is what the plan
00:19:49.240
is and as you said basically every important world leader in western civilization is going to be
00:19:55.480
there or have a representative there plus a bunch of ministers plus all of the big corporations plus
00:20:00.280
all the big banks all the big financial institutions uh the head of black rock the biggest shareholders
00:20:05.340
in the world everybody who has power is going to be there if a black hole opens on davos
00:20:11.860
a lot of our problems will be solved because they'll all be sucked into space yeah and uh we're
00:20:19.580
pretty much leaderless in the western in the western world yep without without a doubt without a doubt and
00:20:25.360
so just just real quick they they're sort of they've got several themes on their website that they they say
00:20:30.620
this is what we're going for um what do you think i want they all have something in common i want you to
00:20:36.460
think about what they have in common okay we have addressing the uh energy and food crises in the
00:20:41.200
context of a new system for energy and climate and nature all right then we have addressing high
00:20:47.260
inflation and low growth and high debt economy in the context of a new system for investment trade and
00:20:53.380
infrastructure then we have addressing the current industry headwinds in the context of a new system for
00:21:00.100
harnessing frontier technologies for private sector innovation noticing a pattern yeah yeah it's a new
00:21:06.300
system see and new is always better and it goes on uh addressing the current social vulnerabilities
00:21:12.440
in the context of a new system for work skills and care and then the last one is addressing the
00:21:18.980
current geopolitical risks that's ukraine and russia and all of that in the context of a new system
00:21:24.800
for dialogue and cooperation in a multi-polar world which is another way of saying america is no longer
00:21:31.020
the most important country in the world and so how do we address this new system we how do we build a new
00:21:36.640
system around this just terrifying and they're you know these are the people that say uh you'll own
00:21:43.440
nothing by 2030 and i found that hard to fathom five years ago when i heard that i believe they could
00:21:52.220
make it so we none of us own anything um and and basically just by bankrupting all of us just by
00:22:00.880
destroying uh our our money uh and and uh and putting us all into the poorhouse and they can do that through
00:22:10.280
the banking system through our currency they can also do it and are doing it through uh our energy
00:22:16.340
the hochel came out yesterday and said uh there's a new uh resolution she wants to pass and so she
00:22:25.920
introduced a um uh legislation to stop all new homes being built in new york from having any natural gas
00:22:37.080
taps yep that's wait a minute what yeah i just heard about this on monday from richard trumpka who said
00:22:45.300
we got this new study in on environmental studies and it shows that uh your home environment's really
00:22:51.620
bad if you use natural gas yep and they're already talking about banning natural gas yep and then there
00:23:01.100
was that story that came out uh just yesterday the day before about the biden administration looking
00:23:05.460
into getting rid of gas stoves right that everywhere it's the same thing yeah same same idea uh all of this
00:23:11.620
is part of the same movement these ideas are not a sort of bad american ideas these are bad globalist
00:23:19.100
great reset ideas and they're all parroting the same thing it's not like you could take any policy
00:23:25.040
the biden administration is doing literally anyone and you can go to almost any other what i would call
00:23:30.260
great reset country mostly western western yeah in the western world in europe especially and they have
00:23:36.480
either already done it or they are in the process of doing it and word for word word for word for
00:23:41.720
word including the marketing campaigns behind them it's exactly the same thing and it's it is it is
00:23:48.100
truly terrifying especially when you look at europe and you say i don't know if that's what i'm looking
00:23:53.680
for in a place to live you know i don't know if i want to hang on just a second what do i need to say
00:23:59.440
to get you into buying into the european model um the uh the thing we're going to talk about tonight
00:24:06.740
on blaze tv my wednesday night special is something that i read about in probably 1995 and it was an
00:24:18.180
article uh i can't even remember who or where i i thought of it recently while we were writing the
00:24:23.940
book and i thought man i wish i had that article 1995 they were talking about an ownerless society
00:24:31.080
somebody was way ahead of the curve and they were talking about how um the internet will will um start
00:24:40.240
to shrink us down and technology will will make us into a renting kind of society as opposed to an
00:24:48.900
owning society and the question was how will that change a country that was based on personal
00:25:01.220
ownership yeah and the conclusion was completely it will completely change everything yeah and that's
00:25:09.120
what we're talking about in in seven years nobody able to own anything you're a constant renter which
00:25:18.660
the youth say oh well that's great that's i don't because i don't want to own it it's so much easier
00:25:23.580
that means you are a slave to someone else forever that's right forever that's right if you don't own
00:25:32.220
property that regardless of what the property is could be your car could be your house could be
00:25:37.680
whatever you don't make the rules the rules are whatever the owner wants the rules to be plus whatever
00:25:44.560
the government allows the owners to make the rules correct right and if they're in bed together and if
00:25:49.700
they're in bed together then it's whatever those two get together those groups decide and at some
00:25:55.040
point in time i think there was a certain segment of the left that realized if we could just get the
00:26:01.780
corporations and the financial institutions and the banks on board yep we we don't need to worry about
00:26:08.160
that stupid you know old dusty constitution thing well who cares it doesn't matter because you know
00:26:13.980
we can't ban gun ownership but your apartment complex might be able to depends on what state you live
00:26:18.860
in right yeah and we can decide where where people go if if no one owns their car and we can decide what
00:26:25.740
people eat if they don't have control over it so it just becomes the greater you have the more
00:26:30.880
centralization you have the less freedom you have almost always it's it's essentially a rule of human
00:26:37.100
civilization in history and that is exactly what's happening it's been happening for a while people
00:26:42.840
have noticed that it's going on but there's it's not just this sort of organic thing that's occurring
00:26:48.260
it's part of an actual plan that it's a plan these people have and as crazy as that might sound to people
00:26:55.160
just read the quotes i mean the quotes are all there and that's what we had in the last book the great
00:27:01.620
reset book the upcoming book that we're working on there's a ton of information about all of this
00:27:06.860
it's it's well documented oh you know every chapter has like three pages of footnotes on it
00:27:12.900
there's over a thousand footnotes in our current draft it is it is really it's it's really really
00:27:18.800
good um and we tell you what's currently happening um and uh you know since since we've been writing it
00:27:27.640
now for over a year and we didn't we start it's been about it the first time we talked about it was
00:27:33.620
a year ago yeah yep because the book was released today i think a year ago today that's right today
00:27:38.900
is the anniversary look at the change this audience has made absolutely i mean it's it's remarkable yeah
00:27:45.120
i had yeah go ahead sorry no go ahead i had i had a meeting with lawmakers yesterday uh a dozen or so
00:27:50.920
lawmakers and uh it was a closed door thing and what they came into the meeting with the information
00:27:59.020
they already understood and knew compared to where we were at a year ago night and day they totally
00:28:04.440
they were way ahead of where they people had previously been they still there's certain details
00:28:10.100
and things they don't quite understand that's why we're having the meetings to ask to answer questions
00:28:14.240
and things like that but we are seeing people on a massive scale wake up to this issue and i was so
00:28:21.580
pessimistic going into this we were both like suicidal when we we published the book a year ago we both
00:28:27.960
looked at each other went no way out no way out and you can read it in that last chapter of that of the
00:28:35.340
book the great reset you know if you if you kind of read between the lines you're like they don't have
00:28:40.780
any hope of turning this around yeah and i do today yeah i do today without a doubt we had it we had a
00:28:46.580
meeting i'll never forget it in your office month or two before the book came out and it was how do we
00:28:50.980
talk to people about this and i remember you said to me justin what is the way out how do we get out of
00:28:56.300
this we need a solution and i mumbled some stuff and came and i said you know but there yeah there
00:29:02.640
really is no solution right and you said well we got to come up with something and i said i got nothing
00:29:09.600
yeah and we and that book was published with nothing it was educate yourself yeah and then
00:29:16.220
do something yeah try and people did and it's it's truly remarkable this is the best of the glenn beck
00:29:24.740
program i know that uh i won't give a dime to the republican party i haven't for a long time
00:29:36.740
uh did it uh during the 2020 election about six months before trying to get the white house's
00:29:45.400
attention hey this is this is for legal matters you guys should be watching what's coming your way
00:29:51.280
right now uh and that's the last money i'm i'm spending uh on that um the republican party
00:29:57.360
dead to me however the freedom caucus is a great replacement uh and right now it's just acting as
00:30:08.040
a needle in everybody's ass move and i think if you saw what the freedom caucus did in the house of
00:30:16.280
representatives i contend that any honest american i don't care who you voted for republican democrat
00:30:23.060
independent every honest american that looks what the freedom caucus was standing for and what they
00:30:29.580
got should be thanking those guys right now i think they're the answer to the cancer that we have
00:30:37.420
andy roth is the president of the state freedom caucus network and he's trying to get and there's
00:30:43.540
great growth that is happening right now trying to get more freedom caucus members into our states and
00:30:50.400
states like texas is a real problem big problem um think about it this way the the uniparty the
00:30:57.880
establishment the cartel in every 50 states or in all 50 states 50 swamps the governor is a full-time
00:31:05.800
job like round the clock he's well-funded well-staffed the uh bureaucrats that run the woke agencies
00:31:12.640
full-time year-round full-time full-time full-time the the lobbyists full-time well-staffed well-funded
00:31:20.460
the lawmakers the part-time lawmakers they don't have any staff they have no help so when we wonder why
00:31:28.300
we're losing as conservatives to the establishment it's because of that it's because of that imbalance
00:31:33.660
in texas and we don't and and every time i go to talk to a state senator or a state legislate the
00:31:39.980
legislative member they always say the same thing i i'm so far behind on this i don't can you help me
00:31:45.800
out because they don't have anybody anybody but lobbyists that are briefing them on things they
00:31:52.720
don't have time to read the bills and that's by design they're jamming everything through so when
00:31:57.200
conservatives have to vote on something they're like well what how should i vote the only people that
00:32:01.700
are in their ear is leadership or lobbyists right and i have found i mean i think utah is in grave
00:32:09.000
trouble i think texas is in grave trouble and there's no reason for those states to be in grave
00:32:15.020
trouble except all of the people in those states think oh we're fine we're fine we're run we got the
00:32:21.580
republicans no a lot of people a republicans a lot of them are progressive so they're in on it they
00:32:29.800
they like it um two in those states like texas you don't even if you're a democrat you run as a
00:32:36.460
republican right because you can't win as a democrat so you have all of those people that are kind of
00:32:43.400
just hiding as a republican but in texas it's what are they voting on right now so yesterday uh they
00:32:53.300
just like in congress they vote for the speaker and then they vote for a rules package unlike the
00:32:59.220
fight that the freedom caucus waged against mccarthy in the u.s house in texas the republican speaker won
00:33:07.740
145 to 3 so all the democrats came on board and supported this republican now ask yourself why
00:33:16.820
uh-huh it's because in the rules package coming up uh he is going to give democrats committee
00:33:24.900
chairmanships this is a full republican majority house yeah but we're working together we like to
00:33:31.300
work together reach across the aisle and when we wonder why texas doesn't have school choice
00:33:37.480
it's because a democrat runs the education committee you want to you want to file a school choice bill
00:33:44.440
go go go ahead but then it's gonna die in committee and and when the speaker and when
00:33:51.760
the speaker defends this he's like well i don't want to be like dc yeah well i don't want our state
00:33:59.260
to be like dc i don't want our state to be like california these guys have a responsibility especially
00:34:06.320
in texas there is absolutely no excuse in texas none uh and we're gonna lose texas and you remember
00:34:14.180
when the democrats left the democrats in the texas house left and went to dc yes throwing a temper
00:34:21.500
tantrum because they didn't like the election integrity bill right so they finally came back
00:34:26.980
the speaker did not punish them but they watered down the bill and passed a weaker version and now
00:34:33.560
you give them committee chairmanships god help us if they're on the committee they use that money
00:34:38.580
to raise money or they they use those committee chairs to raise money from lobbyists they then use
00:34:44.880
that money to defeat republicans it's insane it's insane it's absolutely insane and i could tell you
00:34:51.840
a story in every other state of the similar type of corruption it's bad it's deep and it's in the dark
00:34:58.060
most people don't know this stuff give me the five worst states uh well alabama uh we went down
00:35:04.700
there alabama alabama we went down there um and said in no uncertain terms we can't set up an alabama
00:35:10.860
freedom caucus because there aren't any conservatives in the legislature and none none no and i'm not even
00:35:17.400
joking like and here's a key reason why and this will curl your hair the state legislature has to vote
00:35:26.540
on local bills like if a county wants to raise taxes there are 105 members in the alabama house
00:35:34.420
when they vote on that it passes like six to zero because all of them duck the vote because they
00:35:41.380
don't want to be seen as raising taxes oh my god and it's a gentleman's agreement they vote on this
00:35:48.340
one i'll vote on that right right and so when i was when i was looking at the voter rolls the average
00:35:56.260
alabama house member ducks 70 of their votes oh my gosh it gets worse
00:36:04.340
one alabama state senator hasn't voted in three years how is alabama putting up with that
00:36:11.720
it's ridiculous right i mean that is and i and i absolutely corrupt and and and the media outlets
00:36:19.880
down there that cover the capital they don't mention it they don't talk about it they don't
00:36:24.260
care they don't want to expose it they they they know what's going on but they don't do anything
00:36:28.540
about it why rock the boat if everything is working in tennessee we went there and we said
00:36:35.200
in no uncertain terms can we set up a tennessee freedom caucus because you guys are not conservative
00:36:39.780
and we were in a room that we were told these are the most conservative members we're giving our pitch
00:36:45.500
like here's what you do when you're in a freedom caucus i had a guy over here say uh defend subsidies
00:36:51.660
for ford plant ford foundation all the woke esg stuff they're shoving down their throats he's
00:36:59.040
defending the subsidies i had a lady in the back who was against school choice and then i had a guy
00:37:03.920
over here defend hotel motel taxes and i'm looking at my vp of government affairs justin and i'm like
00:37:10.860
are we in the right room and these are deep red states and these are people that came it wasn't just
00:37:17.800
everybody they knew who they were meeting with and they were coming to hear a pitch about starting
00:37:22.520
a freedom caucus so they thought they were pretty good yeah oh they thought they were really good
00:37:26.960
wow did anybody say anything when you walk out of those meetings and go guys we can't do anything
00:37:31.480
with you some of them said well gosh i guess we better start voting better um and others were like
00:37:37.320
this isn't for me um but the i am hopeful in the states that we are in we're in 10 states um
00:37:45.060
georgia south carolina um we got some mountain west states these guys are hardcore west we got
00:37:52.420
montana idaho and wyoming good and they're all good good and they're ready to fight good yeah good
00:37:58.920
yeah i i'd like a list of all of the guys who are in it and that are really standing up and fighting
00:38:04.380
all across the country i'd like to know who they are yeah because the audience would like to support
00:38:08.700
people like this yeah and they need to and it's growing i mean i mean we have over a hundred
00:38:13.840
state lawmakers across 10 states um and we're adding states we we added 10 last year and we
00:38:21.540
want to add another 10 to 15 so by the end of this year it's my hope that we can be in half of the 50
00:38:27.400
states we have to be yeah we have to be um so andy to explain to people because the media just turned
00:38:36.020
these guys into monsters explain to them why every american should be grateful to the the freedom
00:38:42.820
caucus that this was not this this should have been very bipartisan so explain so i wrote an op-ed
00:38:52.440
about this yesterday to your exact point that every american republican or democrat should be
00:38:57.800
thankful for the house freedom caucus had they not stood up and fought then the dictatorship that
00:39:04.560
started well it started before john boehner but john boehner paul ryan nancy pelosi all of them ruled the
00:39:13.100
house with an iron fist top top down it changed because of obama during the obama administration
00:39:20.300
you no longer had a budget you they just they destroyed the way everything used to work it was still
00:39:28.540
corrupt before but now it was just this small cabal of people who were deciding everything for every
00:39:37.840
representative and every senator yeah and that's why you get 5 000 page omnibus bills they fall on your lap
00:39:44.800
you know less than 24 hours before it's voted on right that's standard operating procedure under the old
00:39:52.680
regime and if mccarthy had gotten his way if a lot of the republicans had gotten their way that would
00:39:58.860
have continued there has not been a floor amendment offered in six years that's insane because they won't
00:40:05.980
allow it they won't allow debate and so all of the reforms which now allow for uh floor amendments the
00:40:14.400
committees will have more power a lot of that power is now decentralized and that is going to massively
00:40:20.480
benefit not just the freedom caucus and republicans but the the entire country the entire country
00:40:26.960
everybody in my in my 20 years on capitol hill last week was the most amazing thing i ever saw
00:40:35.040
me which says something about the other 19 years me too it does it does but i would have to say this was
00:40:41.920
this was the most heartening thing i have seen you know we we've had lots of elections that oh went our
00:40:48.800
way but then when they get there they don't do anything these guys stood up fought were actually
00:40:56.060
heard by the american people to some extent and people have changed enough to where they're like i don't
00:41:03.100
want any of this old crap i i want something new they stood they made if you listen to chip roy on the
00:41:10.800
floor you were in great guy um and they stood they weren't afraid of being called names or ostracized
00:41:17.940
they just did it more of that uh is what the country needs so i've got a story to tell you our south
00:41:25.320
carolina freedom caucus they fought the establishment in the south carolina house they fought them to such
00:41:32.000
an extent that leadership made them sign a loyalty oath all republicans a loyalty oath this is like
00:41:40.100
right right out of the page of stalin yeah and the loyalty oath said you cannot help or encourage
00:41:47.380
someone to challenge our incumbents our colleagues oh my god republicans and that that could mean
00:41:53.880
politically like help them financially recruit candidates but it also would not allow you to
00:42:00.080
take a picture of the vote board on the house floor and tweet it because that would be quote
00:42:07.160
misinformation this is what republican uh the republican establishment's doing in south carolina
00:42:15.080
but south carolina actually they i mean they just didn't they stop the pediatric well so so yeah so
00:42:23.260
they the the republican leaders in south carolina forced all members to sign a loyalty pledge
00:42:29.120
unbelievable the members of the south carolina freedom caucus signed it but crossed out all the
00:42:33.580
things they didn't like it just as a middle finger to them so since they refused to sign it in full
00:42:40.780
the republican leaders right now are considering kicking 19 members of the freedom caucus out of
00:42:47.020
the republican caucus wow like this is a violent nuclear option that they're going to and jim de mint
00:42:55.380
mark meadows ralph norman a member of the house freedom caucus from south carolina they're all weighing
00:43:01.420
in and saying that is a really dumb how can we help them yeah blow up the phones of davy uh hyatt who's
00:43:09.940
the majority leader uh in south carolina davy hyatt dave hyatt yeah okay um and you just call the
00:43:17.160
capital but but to your last yeah okay and just scream scream scream loud like everybody yeah but to
00:43:25.120
your point earlier uh the south carolina freedom caucus has been wildly successful and one of the things
00:43:30.220
they did was they forced a hospital to shut down a transgender um yeah uh clinic gender affirming
00:43:37.120
yeah yeah for minors and they did that out of session no votes no bills unbelievable yeah um andy thank you
