00:01:48.380
glad to be back in the studio back in the studio yeah um we have i have some good news and i have some
00:01:54.940
bad news which do you want first um i'm a glutton for punishment so they'll take the bad news first
00:02:01.620
okay you sure okay here we go okay this is this is extraordinarily bad news from the european union
00:02:11.660
this is something that i have been warning um listeners and readers about for over three years now
00:02:20.800
it was included in both the great reset and the dark future books uh we really went into it in dark future
00:02:28.700
talking about this this can't happen if this happens don't this no really well it's just happened
00:02:36.940
we've talked about it on the air several times but i don't it now it's official and it's in writing
00:02:43.680
and so i'm going to explain it and tell you what it is and what it's going to do
00:02:47.440
uh it looked like this bill was going to die several times over the past few months in fact
00:02:53.380
justin haskins and i had a big argument i should have made a three thousand dollar bet with him and
00:02:58.000
then i could have paid you off for the michelle obama thing uh but uh uh it it he said it you know
00:03:07.060
it would fail and it is not now it is one of the biggest threats to freedom in america both in the
00:03:14.200
short and the long term because this law because of this law in europe our society through corporate
00:03:23.640
decision making and business partnerships are going to be forced to conform with the european
00:03:31.420
rules values and environmental standards european social justice metrics are now officially they have
00:03:40.860
to be imposed on america through this law the only thing that will change the change this is if congress
00:03:48.920
acts and the president acts this president and this at least senate will never stop this
00:03:58.020
here's what's going to happen the eu has established an extraordinarily complex very large esg system
00:04:09.740
that covers all companies and when i say all companies all companies will need to comply with
00:04:18.340
this includes both covered companies based in the u.s as well as non-eu companies such as those in
00:04:26.260
america and canada that operate in the eu so in other words you sell i think it's half a billion
00:04:34.260
dollars worth of stuff and you have to comply you sell a half a billion dollars in europe just under
00:04:40.760
that then you have to comply but so do all of the companies that you do business with so if you're a
00:04:49.680
small company and you're making widgets and you sell them to a company that is making big money
00:04:57.260
and i wonder if this applies to amazon you sell something on amazon that's a company that's making
00:05:05.300
at least half a billion dollars in europe you're going to have to comply um the cover the covered
00:05:14.260
companies will be required to submit reports to the european government authorities if they are
00:05:22.060
eu based customers or companies with more than a thousand employees and a worldwide turnover of
00:05:30.820
more than 489 million dollars turnover is another word for revenue or income but why wouldn't you say
00:05:40.240
that this word bothers me i i just think it's one of those it's like stakeholders that nobody notices
00:05:48.120
and then you hear stakeholders and you know what it means you're like oh crap that's everybody
00:05:52.820
non-eu based companies such as u.s companies now fall under the requirements if they have a net
00:06:01.160
turnover of more than 489 million dollars with the european union franchise and licensing agreements
00:06:09.840
as well as subsidiaries of larger companies will also fall under the eu's esg regime
00:06:17.180
i don't know exactly the lawyers have not even really explained this yet um but we have been
00:06:24.760
covering this for so long we think we know what this means but licensing agreements
00:06:30.680
i write books some of them sell in europe simon and schuster sells books like crazy over in europe they're
00:06:43.000
making over 489 million i'm sure in europe am i now forced to comply thank god i have mercury inc now and i
00:06:52.400
don't have to do simon and schuster but am i am i required most importantly all covered companies will
00:07:01.140
need to ensure that the businesses in their supply and value chains i don't know what that means you know
00:07:10.220
what supply and value chain is stew uh you're the head of uh ford uh have you checked your value
00:07:18.360
change what what is exactly the numbers on your value change what the hell does that mean value chain or
00:07:24.580
value change value chains i mean i'm i'm very in touch with my value chain yeah okay on a daily basis
00:07:33.680
uh also though those companies anybody who makes a widget for these companies has to adhere to the
00:07:41.680
relevant esg rules remember esg is environmental social and governance so do you have enough um you know
00:07:51.280
gay the gay black uh hermaphrodites that only have one leg do you have them on your board well why not
00:08:01.820
that's your governance part social is all of the social justice crap that we've been fighting and e of
00:08:11.720
course is environment this bill by the way will destroy the petroleum industry and don't worry petroleum
00:08:21.700
is not used in anything nothing in petroleum this will indirectly impose europe's esg standards on
00:08:31.560
countless american companies including many small businesses all covered companies will need to create
00:08:39.280
climate change transition plans prevention action plans establish contractual assurances from a direct
00:08:49.960
business partner that it will ensure compliance with the businesses prevention action plan so you make a
00:08:59.000
widget but you don't sell it to ford you sell it to somebody that is making radios for ford
00:09:06.600
you don't have anything to do with ford but if you want to sell a widget to another company
00:09:14.220
that does business with ford or sell it to another company that that company sells to another company
00:09:21.500
to sell to ford you see how this is working and if you don't comply in america you cannot sell anything
00:09:31.820
in europe you also uh establish contractual assurances business prevention and make necessary
00:09:41.420
financial or non-financial investments or upgrades the hell does that mean individual countries will write
00:09:50.380
their own laws in accordance with this new eu esg law each country in the eu eu will be responsible for
00:09:58.140
enforcing its rules and issuing punishments civilian and activist groups also are covered in this bill
00:10:07.660
activist groups can bring private cause of action against companies for failing to meet guidelines
00:10:15.580
will open up the floodgates for attorneys right there the eu requirements are going to be phased in
00:10:24.940
beginning in 2027 now let me get into the actual requirements that we can this a very complex and
00:10:34.860
very big bill over the weekend thank god for justin haskins and his team he went through all of it so let me
00:10:41.580
tell you what these rules are it's the economy it's the environment uh it's free speech it's all of it
00:10:51.500
so there's not a single long list of specific rules that companies need to comply with there are some
00:10:59.180
specific rules that are included however this new law includes hundreds of vague statements and references
00:11:07.420
to existing international agreements and eu regulations many of those are also long agreements
00:11:15.100
featuring many more rules such as the paris climate agreement and the international covenant on economic
00:11:23.340
social and cultural rights you know that you're complying i'm sure oh you're not i guess we should read up on
00:11:31.180
it as a result of the complexity and expansiveness of the rules the total number of social credit
00:11:37.980
scoring metrics let me say that again the total number of social credit scoring metrics included in
00:11:48.300
this law is currently unknown but is likely in the hundreds if not more than a thousand it's hard to tell
00:11:57.340
currently you get social credit scores now let me ask you something is the eu actually going to stop
00:12:07.420
buying everything that comes from china because there's no way china will comply with this do you know what
00:12:14.780
that will do to the prices to the european union if they stop buying things from china and if we don't
00:12:22.140
stop this if we stop buying things from china prices you will go broke quickly businesses will go out of
00:12:33.820
business quickly now here's just one example of the law where it's not economic it's actually on climate
00:12:41.900
change and free speech the directive is an important legislative tool to ensure corporate transition to a
00:12:50.460
sustainable economy what they're saying there is no longer a capitalist system including to reduce the
00:12:59.180
existential harms and costs of climate change to ensure alignment with the global net zero by 2050 and to
00:13:09.740
avoid any misleading claims regarding such alignment and stop greenwashing disinformation and fossil fuel
00:13:20.300
expansion worldwide in order to achieve international and european climate objectives so notice they
00:13:28.780
throw in misinformation one law one law firm uh notes companies are required to effectively engage with
00:13:38.860
stakeholders let me say that again companies are required to effectively engage with stakeholders
00:13:50.060
do you remember who the stakeholders do you remember who the stakeholders are because they're not you
00:13:55.980
the stakeholders are the governments the social activists uh and
00:14:08.460
i think that's it and the companies themselves those three get together because you know the sierra club
00:14:17.420
is a stakeholder is a stakeholder and making sure that our trees are okay and our environment is clean
00:14:23.500
the government is just a representative of you yeah yeah i stopped believing that a long time ago
00:14:31.740
so you're you don't have a voice your voice is the senate and the house and the and the president
00:14:38.700
that's the stakeholder that they have to deal with companies have to sit down when they're making these
00:14:46.300
rules with those guys this includes carrying out consultations at various stages of the due diligence
00:14:55.260
process that's going to be cheap during which companies must provide comprehensive information
00:15:04.460
now according to the european parliament member states will be required to provide companies with
00:15:09.580
detailed online information on their of their due diligence obligations via practical portals
00:15:16.860
containing the commission's guidance they will also create or design and designate
00:15:22.380
a supervisory authority to investigate and impose penalties on any non-compliant firms these will
00:15:31.420
include naming and shaming that's a quote this will include in quotes naming and shaming and fines of up to
00:15:42.460
five percent of the company's net worldwide turnover again worldwide turnover why not use revenue
00:15:52.460
additionally a breach of certain c s d d d d d obligations this is the that's the catchy acronym for it
00:16:03.020
may result in civil liability for damages however a company cannot be held liable for any damage caused by
00:16:10.860
its business partners in its chain of activities that's the bad news
00:16:23.740
i can guarantee you we are at least a year maybe two years ahead of everyone else they are not paying
00:16:34.220
attention to this do not dismiss this when you go in to vote which candidate is most and and i mean every
00:16:44.780
candidate is most likely to stand up and say no if the united states a huge market decides to say we're not
00:16:58.380
not playing your game europe will not be able to stand on its own
00:17:05.900
china they'll just give a pass to because everybody for some reason thinks that authoritarian state
00:17:12.860
that puts their own people with social credit scores and puts them in camps is okay let me ask you
00:17:20.940
this do you think europe is actually gonna have apple pay a fine or stop making its products in china because
00:17:29.100
they're made by slaves no this is a way look there is a book over in our museum very rare because the king had
00:17:39.820
them all burned it was during the witch trials over in in europe and it was one book that says this is
00:17:49.260
hogwash this is just the king wanting these rules so he can get rid of his enemies king had them all
00:17:57.020
burned we can find all kinds of stuff that say witches are real that book is extraordinarily rare
00:18:06.380
why the king needed them to go away because he could have anybody who displeased him he's a witch
00:18:16.620
she's a witch burn them at the stake that's exactly what's going to happen here companies like apple will
00:18:25.180
be fine facebook fine doing business over in europe even though they're working with the chinese
00:18:35.020
but any company that decides to stand and say no we don't believe in this we're not doing this you're
00:18:42.300
doomed you're doomed if you play ball with the government in one way or another you're all right
00:18:52.300

00:21:01.100
this is the best of the glenbeck program justin naskins is with us now hello justin how are you
00:21:08.460
uh i'm i'm doing okay today is a uh is a very dark day glenn today is a very dark day and i'm not
00:21:16.540
referring to the social credit scoring system in europe that's going to transform all of life in america and
00:21:21.740
probably destroy freedom i'm talking about coming on the air having to admit that i'm wrong and that
00:21:28.540
you were right i wasn't going to bring it up never going to be able to live it down i wouldn't i wasn't
00:21:32.860
going to bring it up uh i mentioned it you know behind your back but i was never never going to
00:21:38.220
bring it up no you know what it you know i i just i'm such a cynic on on especially the eu and now our
00:21:48.140
government that they'll do they'll do the wrong thing every time every time and what they passed
00:21:55.820
uh when when was it this weekend friday friday friday friday yep okay what they passed is a little
00:22:03.740
terrifying because everything we talked about in dark future and the great reset is now in stone
00:22:12.460
please explain this to people right so for three years you and i have been warning people about this
00:22:21.580
pending legislation that was working its way through the massive bureaucracy of the european
00:22:27.900
union and their legislating process their legislative process uh that would essentially create a global
00:22:34.780
social credit scoring system that would be imposed on on companies that do business in europe
00:22:41.340
companies that are based in europe and then many of the companies that they do business with so
00:22:46.940
we're not talking about just european companies we're talking about american companies that do business
00:22:52.300
in europe and american companies that do business with someone who does business in europe so massive
00:22:58.140
massive numbers of companies and i i think that'll go all the way down the chain we were talking about
00:23:02.780
this that it goes all the way down down the chain if if you are uh philco and you are providing the radios and
00:23:11.900
the stereos in a ford everybody who makes a part philco is part of it now because they're selling to ford
00:23:19.740
but everyone who makes a part for philco i believe will also be a part because it goes down the chain all the way right
00:23:27.900
yeah i mean that that is that is essentially how it works there are some exceptions to this but i'll
00:23:33.900
but i'll give you a specific example because the law is incredibly complicated i'll give you a specific
00:23:39.340
example that i think a lot of people can relate to this is related to the agricultural industry okay
00:23:44.860
this covers all sorts of things not just agriculture but this is one specific example there's a company called
00:23:50.780
bear now everybody has heard of bear this is like bear aspirin that company it's a major
00:23:56.140
pharmaceutical company yeah i believe they used to make the zyklon isn't that the company that
00:24:00.140
made the zyklon b to kill all the jews i'm not sure we'll look into it check that uh so they're they
00:24:07.020
are based in germany and uh they several years back bought a large they're a 50 billion dollar
00:24:14.300
company they're covered by this esg law that's happening in europe now they uh bought a company several
00:24:20.940
years back called monsanto monsanto monsanto is one of the largest biotech companies or it was
00:24:28.220
in the world they're they were based in missouri now monsanto owns a whole bunch of agricultural
00:24:34.780
companies in the united states they did they're now all owned by bear so for example um there's a company
00:24:43.020
called american seeds which owns a bunch of seed companies this is all now owned by bear they are bear is
00:24:50.700
now one of the largest agricultural companies in the united states they're one of the largest
00:24:56.460
seed companies in the united states so all of these farmers all across the united states that are
00:25:02.220
buying seeds many of them are buying seeds from bear which now has to comply with these esg rules
00:25:09.660
and so think of all of these of these farmers not just the farmers but all of the transportation
00:25:16.780
companies all of the storage companies the warehouses all of the people who are supplying parts and
00:25:24.140
machines related to these various businesses many of them not all of them but many of them are going to
00:25:30.940
be directly or indirectly tied to this esg law and that's just one tiny part of it there are a million
00:25:38.940
different ways that this that the tentacles of this is going to reach out into american society you could
00:25:45.180
be just a owner operator of a transportation truck you have your own truck you're an owner operator
00:25:51.580
you're a one-person show and you're just driving seeds around iowa and if you happen to do business
00:25:57.740
with one of these businesses that's owned by bear you're going to have to comply with these rules too
00:26:03.100
and it goes on and on and on and on and on down the line now people will say and please read dark
00:26:10.620
future if you haven't if you haven't read it yet listen to the audio tape i try to make it
00:26:16.860
a little more fun uh because it's i mean it's talking about this stuff uh or the great reset i
00:26:23.500
highly recommend that you read both of those because that is now spelling the future and this was one of
00:26:31.180
the big ones we could stop esg possibly and we've done a good job at moving in that direction but we
00:26:37.980
didn't stop it um we've we can stop it in our own states uh and hopefully in our own government but we
00:26:46.140
told you the the the trump card on that sorry donald trump the trump card on that is if the eu passes it
00:26:55.180
then we have to do it if we want to do business with the eu well of course we want to do business
00:27:01.260
with the eu and it would not only mean that we wouldn't be selling stuff to them it would mean
00:27:08.460
i believe they can't buy stuff from us right yeah it's it's um if you're a business in the european
00:27:17.020
union and you're buying something from a company that's based in the united states like say you're an
00:27:21.820
energy company in the united states and you're getting natural gas out of the ground and you're
00:27:25.660
selling natural gas to europe yes this is going to apply to you directly there's there's no question
00:27:32.220
about it and then all of the companies that that natural gas company is doing business with
00:27:36.860
are also going to be caught up in this too this is the most diabolical uh plan that i've ever seen
00:27:47.580
it is now the law in europe and unless the united states of america stands up immediately and says
00:27:55.420
nope you can do this to everybody else but you can't do this to us unless they do that immediately
00:28:01.100
the fundamental transformation of the united states of america that barack obama talked about
00:28:05.740
that all the great reset people were talking about four years ago anybody who has talked anybody who has
00:28:12.860
talked about a global governance system this is it all of those things this is it and it passed in
00:28:21.580
the eu now i immediately sent this to a couple of friends in washington and said this is the most
00:28:32.620
important thing you can talk about and work on right now nothing else trumps this with all of the
00:28:39.340
problems we have nothing else do you believe that justin that is 1000 true this affects everything
00:28:48.380
else and you will everything you will not hear about this on 99 of podcasts because 99 of podcasts
00:28:58.140
aren't following this they don't know what it is and it's not a story here it's a european thing
00:29:03.900
this is crucial that you understand and you begin to um talk to your senators and your congressmen
00:29:13.260
that you vote for somebody who will stop this this this puts all of the great reset plans
00:29:23.180
from europe which now will have to do it into the united states and everywhere else and i will bet you
00:29:30.620
justin it will not affect china china china will say screw you you don't want our products don't buy
00:29:36.780
our products and they'll end up buying their products you agree yes i i i completely agree and
00:29:42.860
the reason for that is because the way that they set up the enforcement mechanisms and this was very
00:29:47.660
tricky essentially what they did was say all the countries of the european union have to pass laws
00:29:53.740
that comply with this law and then it's up to each individual country to enforce those laws so in
00:29:59.900
other words if the countries of the european union decide yeah we're not going to enforce the law on
00:30:04.860
china then they don't they don't have to enforce the law on china and so i think that's exactly what's
00:30:11.580
going to happen this is a license for european union countries to go after anyone they want or to
00:30:17.980
not go after anyone they want depending on what their agenda is and so china absolutely we'll get
00:30:23.420
a pass and we won't and before we lose all of our status in the world and all of our you know ability
00:30:31.260
to sell anything we have to have a president a senate and a congress that will stand up to you to europe
00:30:39.500
and say we're not playing ball and if you if that's it then fine we won't sell any of our products to you
00:30:47.260
but we are not uh going to bend our knee to the european union no it's freedom of speech as well
00:30:58.140
the republic is over as you know it if we don't stop it here in america and you got two years to do it
00:31:09.740
this is the best of the glenn beck podcast it's a compilation of clips from various episodes
00:31:14.380
if you want to dig deeper into this interview check out the full podcast episode carol roth uh
00:31:20.460
the author of that book you will own nothing which is ridiculous how would you possibly bankrupt
00:31:29.180
people so they would have to sell everything or couldn't afford it and have it taken taken away
00:31:34.860
from them i mean you'll own nothing by 2030 ha ha ha what a ridiculous idea hello prophet carol
00:31:43.020
how are you i thought i was a conspiracy theorist glenn but i'll take profit slash conspiracy theorist
00:31:50.140
isn't it amazing carol every day every day i see something just mcdonald's you go to mcdonald's
00:31:58.620
this is how you have a country that owns nothing because they no longer can afford to buy anything
00:32:06.220
anything yeah it's so frustrating when i read this in the media the the corporate press all of a sudden
00:32:13.980
waking up and saying things like oh fast food is in restaurants are more expensive than ever and
00:32:19.660
people can't afford them it's like wow that's a giant shock to me who's been telling you this for
00:32:24.940
years and years based on the fiscal and monetary policies of this country you know it's you know it's
00:32:30.940
you know it's more frustrating to me is the fact that we know that they're wrong we've seen that
00:32:37.820
they're wrong over and over and over again they're lying to us and saying we're conspiracy and then
00:32:42.300
when it turns out to be right they announce that it's suddenly true and right and then people go back
00:32:47.980
to them for the answer on how to solve it it's crazy right it's the arsonists who are burning down
00:32:56.220
your house and then they bring a water bottle and say hey i'm gonna help push it put out the fire
00:33:00.540
and rebuild it it is frustrating and the gaslighting when we're telling people what it is that they're
00:33:07.580
going to experience or what they are experience from the biden administration from the press saying
00:33:13.420
no no you don't you just don't understand you're just not smart enough right people are experiencing
00:33:18.460
this every day right it's just like a an extra gut punch um talk to me about freddie mac and fannie mae
00:33:24.540
this this this was uh one of the biggest collapses um during 2008 but if i'm not mistaken it wasn't
00:33:35.740
really taken that way because the federal government we the taxpayers foot the bill for that one so
00:33:43.580
they didn't actually fail but they did so do you remember the scene in after trading places when
00:33:52.780
randolph and mortimer duke went bankrupt and then they pop up and coming to america and eddie murphy
00:33:58.300
hands them this wad of cash and all of a sudden randolph says mortimer we're back i feel like this is the
00:34:04.780
exact same thing that's going on with freddie mac and certainly if it happens with freddie mac it gains
00:34:11.100
acceptance it's going to happen with fannie mae so right now these two government-sponsored enterprises
00:34:16.860
based on what happened out of the uh great financial great recession financial crisis they
00:34:22.380
were put into conservatorships with the fhfa as well as the treasury so they've been watching them
00:34:29.740
and making sure that you know they don't do anything risky right well now freddie mac had this great idea
00:34:36.300
because people have so much equity in their homes let us go ahead and offer second mortgages now you have
00:34:44.380
to remember that these government-sponsored enterprises freddie mac and you know as well as
00:34:48.700
fannie mae the whole point of them is to you know extend credit make sure that people can get into
00:34:54.700
housing but second mortgages don't get you into housing those are consumer loans those are people
00:35:01.500
taking money out of their homes and using them for whatever it is and that equity is perceived equity
00:35:09.500
right because they haven't cashed out the house uh they haven't sold the house they haven't cashed out
00:35:14.220
so they don't have that guarantee they just think that it happens to be it today worth this this much
00:35:19.660
money and they put a loan against it so wait wait wait let me make a case for this because um i did a
00:35:26.540
lot of thinking on this a couple of years ago some people that may be good for other people
00:35:34.380
horrible or do you think it's always horrible well here's what it is it's taking the money out of your
00:35:43.500
your home right the equity that you have the ownership that you have right and saying okay no
00:35:48.460
longer i have this ownership now i have the pile of cash so what are you doing with that cash are you
00:35:55.100
using it to reinvest because right now that's very expensive to do we're not in zero interest rate
00:36:00.860
environment so you know if you're paying even on a a second mortgage eight or nine or whatever percent
00:36:07.500
it is how are you going to get a better return on that it seems to me that that is people taking
00:36:13.740
their wealth their ownership and going and blowing it and spending it that's what will happen that's
00:36:19.740
what will that's what will happen i mean second mortgages to pay down like a credit card at 25
00:36:26.300
25 i'd rather pay nine than 25 sure sure but obviously we would rather to use other money if
00:36:34.540
we can't yes yes yes yes yes taking down your ownership so obviously it is specific to everyone
00:36:40.140
but overall i think we have to ask ourselves a few questions here one why is it that the taxpayers
00:36:47.100
should all of a sudden back consumer loans why is it that we want to encourage more consumer debt
00:36:54.060
spending particularly during a time of inflation and why do we want people to reduce the ownership
00:37:01.580
the equity in their homes may i guess and so sure please do i guess i gotta guess because i am a helper
00:37:10.460
and if you re-elect me i can help you with all of your troubles um but the other guy he's not going to
00:37:19.260
help you with that i i'll i'll help you get a loan so you can do the things you need to do invest in
00:37:24.940
your business and pay down your loans and a lot of people are struggling even to pay for food so i'll
00:37:30.620
help you bang bang bang bang we have an election around the corner and obviously we've seen biden
00:37:37.260
try to do this cancellation of student loan debt and uh you know that is not working out as well as he had
00:37:43.740
hoped although he keeps pushing it so now how do we make people who are maybe struggling financially
00:37:49.900
feel like they're wealthy or feel like they have more cash in their hands oh we'll let them take
00:37:55.420
this you know quote unquote equity out of their homes which is buying votes which is increasing
00:38:01.260
consumer spending which pushes up the gdp which we know is is you know faltering based on last quarter
00:38:08.140
so all of these things make him look like the economy is doing better by the way also likely
00:38:13.980
highly inflationary that we're adding more consumer spending into the mix here so this is being proposed
00:38:21.020
and hang on just a second hang on just a second and more inflation makes it harder for you to buy things
00:38:29.260
later you've got now a second mortgage and you're going to be in the same situation you were in
00:38:36.300
if you spend that money to do anything other than pay off very high interest rates you take a loan out
00:38:45.180
and do anything with it when the because this won't happen until after the election i mean you won't feel
00:38:53.260
the effects but i'm telling you inflation next year is going to be insane do you agree with that well
00:39:00.620
particularly if these programs that he's pushing uh continue right so if this if this if fhfa comes
00:39:08.220
back and says sorry we're not going to do this which one of the things is pretty interesting here
00:39:12.940
and it goes back to this election thesis is normally when you have a a rule like this that pops up there's
00:39:18.140
a comment period and that comment period is about six to twelve months depending on a variety of
00:39:23.820
factors do you know what the comment period on this was glenn two weeks 30 days 30 days which again
00:39:31.340
goes back to say there's an urgency of why it is they're trying to push this through now i'll add
00:39:38.220
something else super fun in here so in addition so if freddie mac does this there's no reason why
00:39:43.900
fannie mae is not going to try to do this but they're under conservatorships right so how do they really
00:39:50.700
expand this market you know which is you know right now it's a decent sized market but this could
00:39:55.980
expand you know up to for both of those agencies maybe two trillion i've heard maybe four to five
00:40:01.580
trillion with leverage of capacity how do they how do they extend that well they could then if the
00:40:08.060
conservators which again is fhfa and the treasury say okay you're no longer under conservatorship
00:40:14.300
they can go back to securitizing these does this sound familiar that means that they take
00:40:20.380
a bunch of these secondary mortgages they package them together into a new security and they sell
00:40:26.380
them into the market and these were the same types of securities if you recall which started the whole
00:40:32.860
ball rolling with the great recession financial crisis so nothing to see her guys i'm sure this
00:40:38.220
will work out really well and i'm super excited for taxpayers to back consumer loans you're not even
00:40:45.580
backing first mortgages you're now backing consumer loans way to go really glad that the government
00:40:51.580
wants to get into that and again it is estimated to be two trillion dollars um however you and i both know
00:40:59.500
uh-huh uh it could go as high as five trillion dollars don't just think of that as your debt that we need
00:41:10.380
to pay think of it this way as well that's two to five trillion dollars being dumped into the economy
00:41:21.980
what do you think will happen to the value of the dollar and your buying power five trillion dollars
00:41:31.420
out of thin air it's insane and at a time when we have the federal reserve who is frustrated with
00:41:38.380
their their fight to or to their attempt to fight inflation and the government continuing to spend
00:41:43.980
like drunken sailors no disrespect meant to the drunken sailors then you keep having these consumer
00:41:50.300
stimuluses and this is what happened with the biden administration when they came out you know right
00:41:56.380
out of the gate a few months later and they did direct consumer stimulus it's in the name stimulus it
00:42:02.700
stimulates the economy that is the intention and the same thing here if you take money that is locked
00:42:09.180
up in homes and all of a sudden you unlock that and again it's theoretical money because if the price of
00:42:15.660
houses end up going down in that area then they make they could end up being underwater and and and you
00:42:21.900
know be in real financial trouble so this is theoretical dollars that they have that they're going to take
00:42:27.820
out and use the dollars to spend in the economy it artificially inflates the gdp it makes everything
00:42:34.300
look like the consumer is doing much better and it absolutely will eat away at your purchasing power
00:42:41.100
devalue your labor and devalue your wealth once again it is the same cycle repeating for political
00:42:47.420
purposes carol love to have you on again later this week because there's a couple of other things
