00:00:32.260 Also, the economy with Carol Roth and so much more.
00:00:36.000 Don't miss it.
00:00:36.720 Today's podcast begins right after this.

00:01:44.380 You're listening to
00:01:45.520 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:48.200 Let me just take you through a couple of things here right off the bat
00:01:52.560 that I think just show how bright everybody truly is today.
00:01:58.100 Let's start in Congress.
00:02:01.160 Let's start with Bobulinski yesterday telling Congress about Biden
00:02:08.160 and who was the big guy.
00:02:10.120 Cut three.
00:02:11.240 Mr. Bobulinski, who's the big guy?
00:02:13.620 Joe Biden.
00:02:14.540 Are you sure about that?
00:02:15.700 Because when...
00:02:16.140 Jordan, Joe Biden.
00:02:17.660 You're sure?
00:02:18.620 I'm 1,000% sure.
00:02:19.940 Because when Hunter Biden did his deposition under oath, he said,
00:02:22.520 I don't know who it is, even though he was copied on an email that said,
00:02:26.260 H will hold 10% for the big guy.
00:02:28.820 You sure it's the big guy is Joe Biden?
00:02:30.480 1,000%.
00:02:31.560 And there's other text messages that back that up,
00:02:35.340 that the brave whistleblowers, Shapley and Ziegler, have produced,
00:02:39.220 not from my phones, not from my BlackBerry that I took screenshots from,
00:02:43.600 they took them from subpoenas directly from Apple's iCloud
00:02:46.740 that back up the fact that Hunter knew the big guy was Joe Biden.
00:02:50.860 The big guy is the brand.
00:02:52.020 The big guy is the lift.
00:02:53.200 The big guy is the one who showed up at golf outings,
00:02:55.380 who took phone calls and meetings and lunches and dinners
00:02:58.240 with Hunter Biden and his business associates.
00:02:59.900 Is that right?
00:03:01.380 Correct.
00:03:03.200 All right.
00:03:03.780 Let me go to cut nine here.
00:03:05.180 This is Bobulinski.
00:03:07.000 Why do the Bidens lie?
00:03:09.220 I want to be crystal clear.
00:03:11.360 From my direct personal experience and what I've subsequently come to learn,
00:03:15.000 it is clear to me that Joe Biden was the brand being sold by the Biden family.
00:03:20.080 His family's foreign influence peddling operation from China to Ukraine and elsewhere
00:03:23.940 sold out to foreign actors who were seeking to gain influence
00:03:27.500 and access to Joe Biden and the United States government.
00:03:31.300 Joe Biden was more than a participant in and a beneficiary of his family's business.
00:03:35.120 He was an active, aware enabler who met with business associates such as myself
00:03:40.440 to further the business, despised being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability.
00:03:47.080 I asked this big question.
00:03:49.620 If there's no evidence of corruption here today,
00:03:51.800 if Joe's conduct and the conduct of his family were fully legal and proper,
00:03:56.040 then why are they so dishonest about it?
00:04:01.500 Hmm.
00:04:02.780 I don't know.
00:04:03.520 But Jamie Raskin, the co-chair of the committee, he's a Democrat.
00:04:10.720 He was a little upset that people were saying that, well, he was a liar.
00:04:16.980 Listen.
00:04:17.320 The same people preaching this mantra know better.
00:04:20.120 They continue to lie directly to the American people without hesitation and remorse.
00:04:24.560 Rep. Dan Goldman and Jamie Raskin, both lawyers,
00:04:30.160 and Mr. Goldman, a former prosecutor with the SDNY from New York,
00:04:33.700 will continue to lie today in this hearing and then go straight to the media to tell more lies.
00:04:38.900 Hunter Biden's defense attorney, Abby Lowell, weaponized his letters to Congress
00:04:42.460 to try to smear my name and mistake the cold hard facts
00:04:47.060 in an attempt to save his powerfully connected client and his father.
00:04:51.500 I challenged Mr. Lowell to make those claims on national television
00:04:55.320 so he can be held accountable for his lies.
00:04:58.460 Prior to my successful business career, I was an officer in the United States Navy
00:05:02.060 at Navy's Elite Naval Nuclear Power Training Command.
00:05:06.240 I later served as the command's chief technology officer.
00:05:12.700 Please proceed.
00:05:13.520 I apologize for the disruption from the...
00:05:15.640 Am I supposed to say it's my time, Mr. Raskin?
00:05:19.000 Yeah, but please, Mr. Bob Litsky, please come to order.
00:05:25.580 Mr. Bob Litsky, Mr. Bob Litsky, please proceed.
00:05:28.060 Please proceed.
00:05:28.820 I apologize for the disruption from the minority.
00:05:31.040 Okay.
00:05:31.860 Well, Mr. Chairman, save his time, but he called members of this committee liars,
00:05:36.420 and I just want to know whether the order and decorum requirements of House Rule 11
00:05:40.180 apply to witnesses appearing before the committee.
00:05:43.720 Okay, stop for a second.
00:05:44.860 Stop, stop, stop.
00:05:45.980 I got to tell you, what does that mean?
00:05:47.500 What is he trying to say here?
00:05:49.800 I want to know, because we have a rule.
00:05:52.040 We can't call each other liars on the record.
00:05:56.120 You're not going to allow him to call...
00:05:57.800 We can call them liars, but they can't call us liars, can they?
00:06:03.200 Well, apparently they can.
00:06:04.580 Here's the rest of the clip.
00:06:06.640 Does it apply or does it not?
00:06:11.240 He's checking with counsel now.
00:06:13.720 What is he saying?
00:06:14.660 I don't know.
00:06:14.980 Oh, yeah.
00:06:15.360 Yeah, Raskin's an idiot.
00:06:17.640 Yeah, he's an idiot.
00:06:19.280 So, no, it doesn't say that.
00:06:21.500 He can call him a liar.
00:06:22.660 There's hard...
00:06:23.220 There's decorum from the members.
00:06:25.020 We've asked for that.
00:06:25.880 There's no language that I'm aware of pertaining to a witness.
00:06:28.820 Thank you.
00:06:29.100 So, don't make sure we didn't waste any of his time on the opening statement.
00:06:36.360 Mr. Bobuliski, I'm sorry for the disruption.
00:06:38.380 Please continue your opening statement.
00:06:40.360 I think you, Mr. Raskin, you...
00:06:42.240 We'll make sure it's right.
00:06:43.380 We'll make sure.
00:06:43.720 Oh, okay, great.
00:06:44.200 I just want to restate.
00:06:46.760 Make sure the American people hear all these facts.
00:06:49.300 Abby Lord... 0.93
00:06:50.100 Okay, now, AOC.
00:06:56.220 She's always good, you know, for a laugh or two.
00:06:59.520 Here she is with Bobuliski yesterday.
00:07:03.100 I believe the fact that he was sitting with me while I was putting together a business deal...
00:07:06.780 Did you witness the president commit a crime?
00:07:10.020 Is it your testimony today?
00:07:11.540 Yes.
00:07:12.420 And what crime do you have you witness?
00:07:15.720 How much time do I have to go through it?
00:07:17.300 It is simple.
00:07:18.260 You name the crime.
00:07:19.940 Did you watch him steal something?
00:07:22.260 Corruption statutes, RICO and conspiracy...
00:07:24.520 What is it?
00:07:25.440 What is the crime, sir?
00:07:29.160 Specifically.
00:07:30.400 You asked me to answer the question.
00:07:32.820 I answered the question.
00:07:34.140 RICO, you're obviously not familiar with.
00:07:36.340 Corruption statutes...
00:07:36.740 Excuse me, sir.
00:07:37.700 Excuse me, sir.
00:07:39.100 Excuse me, sir.
00:07:40.520 RICO is not a crime.
00:07:42.680 It is a category.
00:07:44.500 What is the crime?
00:07:45.320 It's a category of crimes that you're then charged...
00:07:48.160 You have charges.
00:07:49.040 A long hundred...
00:07:50.040 You have charges.
00:07:51.920 Sir, please name...
00:07:52.680 You can name the exact statute under RICO?
00:07:54.900 Yes.
00:07:55.480 Well, it's funny.
00:07:56.320 In this committee room, everyone's not here.
00:07:58.520 There's over 18 lawyers that went to law school.
00:08:01.680 I reclaim my time.
00:08:02.720 Look at...
00:08:03.800 They are just so...
00:08:05.800 They are so bad.
00:08:07.620 They are so bad and so desperate.
00:08:09.960 They can't let anybody talk.
00:08:12.840 I mean, it is...
00:08:14.500 It's remarkable that these people can tie their shoes.
00:08:18.620 It really is.
00:08:19.640 They're so...
00:08:20.240 What evidence do you have?
00:08:20.720 They are so incredibly lost.
00:08:26.140 What evidence do you have?
00:08:27.640 That the AOC can tie her shoes.
00:08:29.180 Name the stupidity.
00:08:29.860 Yeah, I have no...
00:08:30.520 Oh, my gosh.
00:08:31.200 Well, you're right.
00:08:31.860 You're right.
00:08:33.640 It's truly remarkable to me that these people are even listened to, even a little bit.
00:08:42.860 I mean, at any amount, these people are...
00:08:47.400 You know, I read a story last night that talked about how the students are suing their school because they couldn't have a drag show.
00:09:01.400 They couldn't have a drag show.
00:09:05.160 Wow.
00:09:06.340 Really?
00:09:07.200 That's what you found important?
00:09:10.060 The drag show?
00:09:11.240 That's what you're spending your time on?
00:09:15.800 The drag show?
00:09:17.040 With everything else that is going on in the world?
00:09:20.200 That's what you deem important?
00:09:22.380 Really?
00:09:23.500 They don't want to talk about the crime that is a result, a direct result of people like AOC, their stupid reimagining of the police.
00:09:33.060 Didn't seem to work out well, did it?
00:09:34.780 And then she stands by while the man, or the woman in her case, puts troops in some of the largest cities in America.
00:09:45.300 You have armed troops in your subways, and you're not speaking...
00:09:51.340 You're a Marxist.
00:09:53.140 You're not speaking out about that?
00:09:55.920 Did you maybe miss all the sex trafficking because of your open border ideas or the abuse of all of the women who have been raped on their way here?
00:10:04.440 Because of your brilliant humans-can't-be-illegal stance.
00:10:09.140 Maybe the deaths of fentanyl for all of those Americans, 100,000 a year.
00:10:15.440 You just...
00:10:16.340 You don't care about that.
00:10:17.680 No, no, no.
00:10:18.280 You don't even mention it from time to time.
00:10:21.120 And I'm kind of surprised because you kind of see like you're the person or you try to make yourself appear as though you're the person that cares about the plight of the poor and the downtrodden.
00:10:33.440 downtrodden more than any other American.
00:10:35.960 It's just you fighting this fight.
00:10:38.740 No, no, no, no.
00:10:39.880 No, no, no.
00:10:40.600 You're too busy talking about the crimes of the past while an old rich white guy steals everybody's future by having his son lick the butts of communist dictators and oil oligarchs in Ukraine and Moscow.
00:10:55.320 You don't care.
00:10:56.460 No, no, no.
00:10:57.020 No, the Bidens are creating jobs.
00:10:59.520 His son is creating jobs for women.
00:11:02.240 Yeah, sure.
00:11:02.860 That result in, you know, being beaten up after the hard day of work, being beaten up by their pimps.
00:11:09.220 Have you missed the fact that China is making fentanyl in Mexico, selling it to the drug cartels it costs so they can kill people in America of all races, including the special races that seem to be the only ones you care about. 0.65
00:11:26.560 You don't even care about reporters being jailed anymore, inflation, borrowing a hundred of borrowing in every hundred days, $1 trillion, something we can never pay off.
00:11:40.560 I'm trying to figure you liberals out because the CIA and Intel, the five eyes now are all collaborating. 0.83
00:11:51.420 They're all working together to spy on Americans while we spy on their citizens. 0.71
00:11:57.960 And then we swap information.
00:12:00.120 What happened to you guys?
00:12:01.920 You're in bed now with major corporations who are in bed with big government, who are only enriching themselves by impoverishing the working class.
00:12:13.720 Is there not a Marxist that cares about the working class anymore?
00:12:20.720 My gosh.
00:12:23.400 You don't care about nuclear war.
00:12:25.880 Nope, nope, nope.
00:12:27.640 For some reason, the liberals are now all pro-war.
00:12:30.680 I don't understand that.
00:12:33.160 I mean, holy cow.
00:12:35.720 What happened to you?
00:12:38.200 Oh, I forget.
00:12:39.300 I forget.
00:12:39.900 That's right.
00:12:40.940 Your holy order of drag queens show can't be held now. 0.98
00:12:45.800 You can't hold a service for that, you know, in a institute of higher learning.
00:12:52.120 My gosh, you people are idiots.
00:12:54.540 Just incredible idiots.
00:12:57.620 I mean, you are the robber barons of idiots.
00:13:03.960 You are remarkable.
00:13:06.820 Really, truly remarkable.
00:13:09.180 Do you guys have one working brain cell?
00:13:11.460 It's a miracle that the whole lot of you could put your brain cells together and it would amount enough to enough brain cells to get one of you to breathe.
00:13:22.740 My, may I just recommend that all of those on the left and these kids who care so deeply about drag shows, try reading the gods of the copybook headings.
00:13:39.220 See how this all works out.
00:13:40.580 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:13:42.520 I forgot.
00:13:43.380 I forgot.
00:13:44.060 You can't read.
00:13:44.940 You go to school.
00:13:45.940 You can learn how to march.
00:13:47.400 You can learn how to protest.
00:13:49.500 You can learn how to burn cities down.
00:13:51.740 But you still can't read.
00:13:53.300 Well, you sound out some of the small words.
00:13:56.740 And then when mommy is finished, you know, demanding that you get a higher grade in class from your professor, maybe she can come home and read it to you while you eat warm cookies and make yummy noises.
00:14:08.820 Mmm.
00:14:09.260 How do you miss that you're going to all end up eating each other?
00:14:16.920 History's biggest winos, epic losers, insane, insanely stupid, the shareholders of pets.com and all those who thought BLM Inc. actually cared about people like you.
00:14:33.480 They're all laughing at you.
00:14:35.100 Do you not notice that?
00:14:36.360 Can't you hear that?
00:14:37.220 That laughter is coming from all of the idiots in history who learned their lesson.
00:14:44.180 My gosh.
00:14:46.480 Despite what your teachers have told you, you're not special.
00:14:49.640 You didn't win that trophy because you deserved it.
00:14:53.300 You're a loser.
00:14:54.500 You lost.
00:14:55.440 And you'll continue to be an epic joke until you realize this and wake up.
00:14:59.680 And if you feel this is a microaggression, I'm sorry.
00:15:03.320 I meant it as a macroaggression.
00:15:05.640 I'm sorry.
00:15:09.020 Jeez.
00:15:09.960 You are simply a face in the mob of uneducated, self-absorbed children that when all is said and done will be remembered by historians as fascistic monsters.
00:15:23.360 Oh, and idiots.
00:15:27.400 You know that lived-in feeling your house has?
00:15:30.620 Years' worth of kids running around, spilling stuff, breaking things.
00:15:34.380 Yeah.
00:15:35.060 It's nice and all, but when it comes to putting your house on the market, you know, they don't really want that lived-in feel.
00:15:41.980 You know, so what are you going to do?
00:15:43.840 You got to know who to hire.
00:15:45.920 You got to know who's really, really good, who can get the job done, who understands that you're on a budget, and then can really say, this matters, this matters, this matters when it comes to selling your home.
00:15:59.260 If you have a real estate agent that has that Rolodex of people, has the experience, and is already one of the top sellers in your area, it's not a coincidence.
00:16:11.040 They didn't get there because they have a catchy name or web address.
00:16:14.940 The reason they're successful is because they know the best business practices, and they're good listeners, and they also know that has to change for us to sell the house.

00:16:43.840 Now, back to the podcast.
00:16:47.200 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:16:55.240 Carol Roth is joining us, the author of You Will Own Nothing, and you'll be like it, yeah.
00:17:01.920 She doesn't think you're going to like it that much.
00:17:03.620 Former investment banker, Carol Roth.
00:17:05.480 Welcome to the program, Carol.
00:17:07.300 Thanks, Glenn.
00:17:07.960 I know you've got a lot of big news today, and I'd just like to clear up that I am not on the short list for the VP pick for
00:17:13.740 Trump, so just want to get that.
00:17:15.360 Okay.
00:17:15.760 Just want to get that out in the open.
00:17:16.900 Good.
00:17:16.940 Thank you.
00:17:18.000 I was kind of hoping, but yeah, he turned me down, too.
00:17:21.960 Anyway, so let's start with the Fed.
00:17:27.720 The Fed didn't lower rates yesterday.
00:17:32.300 We've been thinking they were going to, but maybe I read this story wrong, so help me out.
00:17:38.100 But what I read was they're probably going to keep the rates the way they are this year,
00:17:42.920 maybe raise them next year, you know, like after the election.
00:17:48.980 Is that what they said?
00:17:50.520 I think you mean cut them.
00:17:51.820 So the Fed has been very good at telegraphing to the markets, at least of late, what it plans to do,
00:17:58.140 at least right before it does or doesn't do something, as was the case yesterday in the last few Fed meetings.
00:18:04.200 So it was pretty clear on Wall Street.
00:18:06.200 I think it was like a 1% chance of a cut.
00:18:09.020 So we didn't get that cut.
00:18:10.300 What Powell did say is he telegraphed that he does believe there will be cuts coming,
00:18:17.280 that he does think that the interest rates that we're at right now is at the highest level that it will be.
00:18:23.840 So he telegraphed that he doesn't think, barring something, you know, going in a very strange direction,
00:18:29.720 he doesn't think they're going higher.
00:18:31.200 He thinks they're going lower.
00:18:32.380 And there's something that's called the dot plot that comes out,
00:18:36.500 which is the projections of all of the Fed governors and the presidents of the different Fed banks before they all talk.
00:18:42.920 So this is like they're anonymous, like, hey, here's where I think things are going.
00:18:46.580 And they are still telegraphing three rate cuts this year.
00:18:50.720 I think that may be too many.
00:18:52.420 I think it may just be a couple.
00:18:54.000 But there there's one other thing that came out that is also in that kind of accommodative monetary policy stance.
00:19:02.080 So they have two tools to be more accommodative.
00:19:05.300 They can either cut rates or they could go out in the market and they can purchase securities or at least move from what they're doing now,
00:19:14.000 which is they're tightening.
00:19:15.680 They have, as we know, trillions and trillions of dollars on the balance sheet.
00:19:19.360 We were almost up to nine trillion dollars.
00:19:21.680 They have let about a trillion and a half of that run off.
00:19:27.040 So they're not selling those.
00:19:28.680 They're just saying, hey, as those mature, we're not going back in the market and replacing it.
00:19:34.500 What they telegraphed yesterday, which is really important, is we're not going to probably do this.
00:19:41.820 And they haven't they hadn't discussed it yet, Glenn, but they're going to probably discuss it at the next meeting.
00:19:46.580 But we don't think we're going to keep doing that.
00:19:49.840 We're not going to let that runoff happen at the same level that we did before.
00:19:54.800 We're going to slow that down.
00:19:57.020 And that is very accommodative as well.
00:20:00.980 So this is another way that they're they're addressing the issues in the market.
00:20:04.920 And the reason is because of all of this chaos that they want to avoid in the Treasury market,
00:20:10.320 because we don't have enough people who want to buy U.S. debt at reasonable, quote unquote, interest rates.
00:20:17.880 So so wait.
00:20:19.780 So they're not going to buy more debt of our debt or they or they will.
00:20:25.960 Oh, so they they had bought up to almost nine trillion.
00:20:30.280 What they had done over the last couple of years is they have let run off.
00:20:35.280 So they have not rebought about a trillion and a half of that.
00:20:39.420 So, you know, it's seven and a half trillion, give or take, you know, a couple what's what's a couple hundred billion amongst friends.
00:20:45.780 Right.
00:20:45.960 So they had been that and they had a cap of about ninety five billion dollars.
00:20:51.520 I think it was a month that they were going to do.
00:20:53.600 That's the pace of this runoff.
00:20:55.560 Well, they're not going to let it run off that much anymore.
00:20:58.960 They're going to probably, you know, they hadn't discussed it yet, but they kind of felt like that's where things were going.
00:21:04.320 And it's just if you go back to I don't know when it was probably 2010, when Ron Paul in Congress was basically grilling then Fed Chair Ben Bernanke, who started all of this adding to the balance sheet.
00:21:18.700 And he said, where's the balance sheet going to go, Ben?
00:21:21.680 And he's like, well, I think it'll go back down under a trillion dollars.
00:21:25.820 Well, guess what?
00:21:28.360 Basically, Jerome Powell said, yeah, that's not going to happen anymore.
00:21:31.680 And that is an accommodative piece, a loosening of the current stance of monetary policy.
00:21:41.180 So how do we survive with the loosening of monetary policy from the Fed just taking on more debt, us taking on more debt and this new Biden budget, which is eye popping?
00:21:59.140 Yeah.
00:21:59.320 Yeah. So the Fed is at the current time is at least saying they're not taking on any more debt.
00:22:05.580 They're just not going to let it run off quite as quickly.
00:22:08.520 They're just going to keep what they have for now.
00:22:11.520 Right.
00:22:11.920 The funny thing is as a great investment.
00:22:15.100 Right. Yeah.
00:22:15.500 It's fantastic.
00:22:16.300 So the funny thing here, this is a little bit backward thinking, but as they loosen policy, if they were to lower interest rates, it actually helps us out because we have such huge deficits that need to be financed.
00:22:32.500 And the higher the interest rate is, the more interest that we have to pay and the more inflation ultimately that is going to create.
00:22:40.640 So basically, the Fed and the government have been fighting against each other.
00:22:45.620 And instead of just coming out and saying, listen, Congress, listen, Biden, we need you guys to get your acts together.
00:22:52.520 We're trying to do something to save the country and you need to do your part.
00:22:56.460 But there's a lot of dancing around this issue.
00:23:00.260 And the funny thing is, is we've had all these letters coming from the progressives, from the Bernie Sanders and the Elizabeth Warrens saying you've got to lower interest rates because of climate projects and things like that.
00:23:13.000 Well, guess what, guys?
00:23:14.060 You're in Congress.
00:23:15.040 You're in charge of the budgets and the purse strings.
00:23:17.900 How about you just stop spending and then we wouldn't be in the position we were in today?
00:23:23.440 Okay, so there's another story from FinCEN.
00:23:27.900 Now, FinCEN is the criminal arm of the Treasury Department.
00:23:34.600 Well, I shouldn't say it that way.
00:23:36.460 All of it seems to be criminal.
00:23:38.500 But these are the ones that go after money laundering and things like this.
00:23:43.460 These are the ones that now small businesses, if you have under 20 employees, you have to register with them so they know you're not a criminal.
00:23:53.440 It's crazy.
00:23:55.800 There's more now dropping on FinCEN?
00:23:59.080 Yes.
00:23:59.640 So this Corporate Transparency Act Beneficial Ownership Information Rule that we've been talking about with FinCEN, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network Department of the Treasury, as you noted, Congress gave them all of this authority under this rule.
00:24:14.040 And the first thing they decided to do is we're going to make a database of all small business owners, if you have an LLC, if you have an S Corp, whatever it is, as long as there is an entity around it.
00:24:24.600 So if solopreneurs haven't registered with their secretary of state, they wouldn't be included.
00:24:29.860 But if you have an entity, because they're trying to go after those money launderers and those cartel people who you know are the first people who are going to register with FinCEN.
00:24:39.000 So we've been talking about sending a lot of information to many of your listeners and people are really starting to understand what's going on here.
00:24:48.020 But they've decided to do something else.
00:24:50.120 So now they said, well, we also feel like we need to go after residential real estate transfers under the Corporate Transparency Act.
00:25:01.920 So basically, if you have a property in your family that, you know, it could be a home, it could be a farm, it could be a vacation home, and you transfer that to somebody else in your family or otherwise via a trust, and there is no financing involved in that.
00:25:16.800 You're not getting a loan, nobody's paying a piece, it's just a gift transfer.
00:25:21.620 They would also like for you to register that now, because we've given them an inch, right?
00:25:28.980 Why?
00:25:30.060 Because they want to make sure, Glenn, that the cartels and the money launderers aren't parking their money in their homes.
00:25:39.400 Because, again, if you're a money launderer or you're someone in the cartel, I'm sure you're going to be very forthcoming about your beneficial ownership information.
00:25:48.220 So, again, now we have this, this is a proposed rule.
00:25:52.400 So I'm going to tell everyone now, I'm going to put up a letter later today on Twitter.
00:25:56.300 I want you guys to copy it and comment on it, because we have until April 16th.
00:26:00.220 But this will basically say, if you're somebody who's involved in real estate transactions, so you're a real estate attorney, you are perhaps somebody involved in the closing process, you are now going to have to collect information, not only on the person who is selling the property, but who it is being transferred to.
00:26:17.100 You're going to have to alert FinCEN, you're going to have to keep records.
00:26:20.220 So this not only violates privacy, it's going to create a ton of fees, and it's going to create issues for anybody who's in that business.
00:26:29.260 And it really seems to me, I don't know if I want to, if I wanted to transfer the property to my wife, I would now have to alert, and they're going to do what with that information?
00:26:44.080 What does that mean for me?
00:26:46.620 Yes, so that means that during your closing process, to effect this transfer, that the people who are involved, the attorneys, somebody involved with the closing, is going to say, hi, I have to report lots of information to FinCEN.
00:27:02.820 So now you're going to give me all kinds of information on who you are, Glenn, who your wife is, and all of this invasive information, so that FinCEN can create a database on that to go after.
00:27:16.380 There you go.
00:27:17.540 Yes.
00:27:18.460 There you go.
00:27:19.480 That's what I'm asking for.
00:27:21.440 Why are they keeping track of people's assets?
00:27:24.960 Is that to eventually seize them?
00:27:28.740 To tax them?
00:27:30.100 This is where you and I are going in the same direction.
00:27:33.340 So now we have a database of people who own small business entities.
00:27:37.380 Then they want to start with real estate.
00:27:39.800 And I understand it's just transfers at first.
00:27:42.140 But if you think that it's cashless transfers and it's not going to stop at that when we've already now leaked from small business entities to residential real estate cashless transfers, we know where this is going next.
00:27:53.320 So it seems to me, in the spirit of you will own nothing, that they really want to know where all your assets are.
00:27:59.980 And if you go back to the bigger thesis of the fact that we do not have enough money in the government that they're receiving in order to pay their debts and to continue to sustain things like their Social Security Ponzi schemes and all of these promises that they've made, it seems to me they want to know what are the value of all of these assets.
00:28:19.360 Because, you know, wouldn't that be interesting if they could come after those and find a way to seize or tax or whatever those assets to help pay for all of the spending?
00:28:29.480 It is all very much connected.
00:28:31.340 And this absolutely has to be stopped.
00:28:34.560 You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.
00:28:36.980 Check out the full show podcast to listen to the rest of this interview.
00:28:40.360 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:28:44.180 So a couple of days ago, I tweeted out or went on X and wrote, the House just passed a bill that could lead to a TikTok ban.
00:28:53.460 It's no secret China is using TikTok to divide and spy on America. 0.97
00:28:58.300 That's why I was happy when Blaze Media deleted the app.
00:29:01.600 But are we about to give away more of our freedom in the name of national security?
00:29:05.600 I wasn't sure on which side I fell on.
00:29:10.020 That's why I did the show last night on Blaze TV.
00:29:13.900 And I had two people, Thomas Massey and Chip Roy, debate it.
00:29:18.540 And I think I'm very clear on where I stand now.
00:29:22.980 But it's in the hands of the Senate.
00:29:24.620 And Marco Rubio's office saw that tweet and asked if he could come on and maybe clear things up on what's happening in the Senate and where he stands.
00:29:36.160 Senator Marco Rubio, welcome to the program.
00:29:39.020 Well, actually, I wanted to try to convince you to move to Florida.
00:29:45.980 That's the problem.
00:29:47.020 Everybody's moving to Florida.
00:29:48.620 Have you seen the prices of houses?
00:29:51.180 Holy cow. 0.89
00:29:52.600 It's a great place.
00:29:54.620 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:57.740 So where do you stand on this?
00:30:00.840 Well, I've been calling for this since 2019.
00:30:03.620 But I want to explain why.
00:30:05.000 First of all, let me just say that having a debate about this is a good thing.
00:30:08.580 I mean, we don't do that enough.
00:30:09.580 Yes, it is.
00:30:10.100 I mean, this idea that we're going to ban a company from operating in the United States is not something we take lightly.
00:30:17.760 That's an extraordinary amount of power you're putting in the hands of the government.
00:30:20.300 We've done it.
00:30:20.780 We did it to Huawei, right?
00:30:22.100 We did it to – we don't want Chinese telecommunication companies operating in the U.S. 0.86
00:30:27.580 because we know they pose a security risk.
00:30:29.360 Whether there's evidence they're doing it or not, the capability to do it is unacceptable.
00:30:32.440 So let me tell you what we know for a fact, okay?
00:30:34.720 We know for a fact that China wants to become the world's most powerful country, and part of that strategy is to destroy America from the inside out, not just from the outside in, but from the inside out. 0.96
00:30:43.400 And part of that is narratives to distract us, you know, convince – put Americans to fight against each other.
00:30:51.040 We do a good enough job as it is because we're free people, but they would exacerbate that, you know, spreading all kinds of disinformation to divide us against each other, but also to further Chinese objectives. 0.66
00:31:02.420 So, for example, convince us that it's a good thing that things are made in China because they're cheaper.
00:31:08.600 And so, you know, drive that – those narratives and so forth.
00:31:11.940 We know that for a fact.
00:31:13.540 We also know that TikTok, the app – because the issue is not the app.
00:31:16.880 The issue is not what people are saying on the app.
00:31:18.900 The issue is that that app and what drives the videos you see, what makes TikTok so successful is the AI, artificial intelligence algorithm that literally reads your mind.
00:31:29.560 The more you use it, the more it learns what you like, the more it knows what you like before you even know you like it.
00:31:35.900 And so this is a very valuable algorithm.
00:31:38.300 That algorithm is not owned by TikTok.
00:31:40.100 That algorithm belongs to a company named ByteDance.
00:31:42.760 And ByteDance and all of their engineers are headquartered in China.
00:31:46.960 Like every company in China, they have to do whatever the government of China tells them to do.
00:31:53.300 It doesn't matter who's on their board.
00:31:54.700 It doesn't matter who the shareholders are.
00:31:56.780 China has a national security law that basically says straight out, if we tell you you have to do – give us data, use your algorithm this way, you have to do it.
00:32:06.160 They don't have a choice.
00:32:07.600 Okay?
00:32:08.280 Right.
00:32:09.520 Billionaires, Jack Ma, the richest man in China, tried to test one day and argued, well, you know, I'm Jack Ma.
00:32:15.200 I'm the richest person in China.
00:32:16.580 I'm allowed to have opinions.
00:32:17.960 He disappeared for 30 days.
00:32:19.720 He no longer lives in China.
00:32:20.840 And he was reminded that no.
00:32:22.940 So we know that they want to divide our country.
00:32:25.920 We know that they want to – and we know that a company that has to do whatever their government tells them to do controls an algorithm that in a moment of crisis or leading up to a crisis, for example, could be weaponized against us very quickly.
00:32:39.340 By driving messages to convince us.
00:32:41.540 Call your member of Congress and tell them not to support tariffs because that means you're going to have to pay more for the clothes you buy or the cheap stuff you buy at Walmart or Amazon or even on Sheen or one of these Chinese websites and so forth.
00:32:55.420 Well, look at what they did with the message of Osama bin Laden.
00:33:01.680 All of a sudden, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, all of these videos appeared of all these kids, Americans, saying, you know, I just read Osama bin Laden's manifesto and I think he was right. 1.00
00:33:13.820 You know, I think America – and, you know, they won't allow this exact device or algorithm in China on their own people.
00:33:22.940 They are using it against us already.
00:33:26.000 Right.
00:33:26.540 And so the issue with that algorithm is not just that the video is there, but that the video is – you're going to see it.
00:33:33.620 And then they know how to target it, right?
00:33:34.940 So they know who to target it at.
00:33:36.280 Yes.
00:33:36.620 So whatever the issue may be, it's a weapon.
00:33:38.700 I would say that we know that the Chinese, for example, want to hack our power plants. 1.00
00:33:43.660 And they work every single day to get accesses to our power plants.
00:33:47.520 They're not doing it.
00:33:48.400 They're not going to shut off our power today.
00:33:49.800 But we know that they're sitting there waiting to do it, just like they have missiles that are aimed at the United States.
00:33:55.860 They're not launching them, but they plan to if there's a war.
00:33:59.420 And so if we know that a threat exists, we have to address it.
00:34:01.960 And so the threat here is not TikTok per se, although that's what we call it because that's the company, that's the – it's the algorithm.
00:34:08.340 And so what I believe – this is my goal.
00:34:10.340 My goal is to ensure that no matter who owns that algorithm, it cannot be a company that is subject to the national security law of China.
00:34:19.320 And basically, let's do what the Chinese tell them. 0.87
00:34:21.540 It doesn't have to be owned by an American.
00:34:22.920 It doesn't have to be owned by someone we like.
00:34:24.580 It doesn't have to be owned by someone we agree with.
00:34:26.540 But that's my goal.
00:34:27.540 Now, some of the arguments that are used, can this – if you write a law that way or that's what the goal of the law is, then you can't weaponize that against –
00:34:34.580 Look, I have huge problems with the way Google operates.
00:34:37.780 They've discriminated against me, I believe, during my campaign.
00:34:40.320 I know they did.
00:34:41.260 I have huge problems with the concentration of power in the hands of big tech in America.
00:34:45.180 But the answer to that problem, which includes allowing us to be able to sue these companies because they have editorial control over stuff.
00:34:52.500 They're not just a forum.
00:34:53.360 They control what messages get out, what messages don't.
00:34:56.620 They censor things like the New York Post story about Hunter Biden's laptop.
00:35:00.880 Okay, they should be able to be sued for that.
00:35:02.640 That's the answer to that problem.
00:35:05.040 But the answer to that problem is not to say, well, until we solve that, we can't deal with the fact that a foreign adversary, the most powerful foreign adversary we have ever faced in the case of China, controls an algorithm that drives the fastest-growing social media platform in America.
00:35:22.160 That's not the answer to the problem of Google and Facebook and Meta and all that stuff.
00:35:27.300 So the way the House bill is written, the government could claim – the president could claim that Tucker Carlson is publishing Russian propaganda.
00:35:41.900 And I heard people actually say this, that he was controlled by Russia.
00:35:46.100 I mean, the way the House bill is written, it leads me to believe that if you could get enough people to believe that in Washington, then you could ban him as an agent or being controlled by Russia.
00:36:02.540 Let me say first and foremost that if – I think this law will probably be amended or changed and some of the things that people will look at are any potential vulnerabilities because, frankly, we now live in an era where we have to assume the worst.
00:36:14.400 No, we should have, but you have to assume the worst that any word you write in legislation could be misused now or in the future.
00:36:19.960 So, obviously, that's not the intent, and so that's the effort.
00:36:23.500 The second thing I would argue, and this is an important distinction, is we're not even saying that – we're not banning videos on TikTok that are pro-China.
00:36:31.080 People will continue to be able to put any post they want on TikTok.
00:36:34.280 That's not what the law would ban.
00:36:36.400 What the law would ban is ownership of the algorithm by a company controlled by a foreign adversary, meaning that the algorithm is controlled by a foreign adversary.
00:36:46.280 So, no matter who it is, whether it's Tucker or anybody else, they have a First Amendment right to whatever opinion they have, and people can continue to use TikTok.
00:36:56.340 You know, if ByteDance sells to somebody else, this law does not ban people going on TikTok and saying, we think China's better than America.
00:37:03.120 We can criticize them for doing it.
00:37:04.780 That's what the First Amendment allows me to do in return, but it wouldn't ban pro-China messaging.
00:37:10.440 And the reason, again, it's the algorithm that we're aiming at here, not that.
00:37:14.600 And so the other thing is that the law, the way it's written, has to be domiciled.
00:37:18.220 You know, it has to be domiciled, and the ownership has to be domiciled in a foreign country, and not just a foreign country, but a foreign adversary.
00:37:25.800 But I'm more than happy to narrow this down to the Chinese – in essence, I'm more than happy to narrow this down to, say, companies subject to the national security law of the Communist Party of China.
00:37:37.800 I mean, because I think that's what we're aiming at here.
00:37:39.900 I think that would be – yeah, I think that would be the most narrow that you can make it, because I just don't want more power going to the government.
00:37:47.780 And you're right.
00:37:48.440 They will find ways to use it against Americans. 0.88
00:37:52.900 I mean, look at CISA.
00:37:54.660 CISA is being used against us now.
00:37:57.800 And they're not – they should be going after things like TikTok, et cetera, et cetera.
00:38:03.460 And instead, they're operating and gathering information on Americans.
00:38:11.160 That's – it's not what we thought we were getting with CISA.
00:38:14.920 But just to tell you why we're laws on the books or weapons, if not properly structured, look at the state of New York.
00:38:21.320 Look what a judge in New York is doing. 0.97
00:38:22.660 Yeah, I know.
00:38:23.400 They're basically saying, if Donald Trump can't come up with $400-something million, you don't even have a right to appeal a decision I made.
00:38:29.860 This guy apparently now is a property appraiser.
00:38:31.660 You know, we began this interview by you talking about the price of property in Florida, you know, and this guy thinks Mar-a-Lago is only worth, you know, whatever, $9 million, $10 million, whatever.
00:38:39.500 He's got some ridiculous number, but that's a law in New York, in the state of New York that's being weaponized for political purposes.
00:38:46.300 We saw – so I think that we live in this era where we realize that there are people whose hunger and thirst for power allows them to break every barrier, cross every guardrail that we've ever had in respect for our republic.
00:38:59.760 So I have no problem with being as paranoid as possible on how we write this law, but we have to deal with this issue of this threat that we face from China because it is a real threat. 0.96
00:39:10.960 Their goal is to –
00:39:12.380 Oh, big time.
00:39:13.480 – is to destroy the United States of America. 0.53
00:39:14.680 Destroy us.
00:39:15.940 Yeah.
00:39:16.860 So since you brought up Donald Trump, there is a news story that broke today that you are on the very, very short list to be his running mate.
00:39:27.180 Is that true?
00:39:27.940 Do you know about it?
00:39:28.780 Would you want to be his running mate?
00:39:30.860 Well, first of all, let me tell you, anybody who gets a chance to serve as vice president of the United States should consider that an honor.
00:39:35.840 I have never spoken either to President Trump or anybody on his campaign about this or anybody else that they're considering for vice president.
00:39:44.080 You know, I – the reason I'm in public service and the reason why I even ran for re-election and I – you know, it's a six-year contract you sign when you come here is I still – I want to save this country.
00:39:52.980 I love this country with all my heart.
00:39:55.280 It changed the life of my family and the trajectory of my family.
00:39:59.160 I mean, I'm not saying that people whose families were born here don't love the country this well.
00:40:03.480 But when your parents came from somewhere else, you realized that – but for the grace of God and the existence of America, how different my life would have been.
00:40:10.060 And I think this country is in a lot, a lot of trouble.
00:40:13.000 I mean, not just bad policy decisions, but existential threats to our very nature as a republic and all things that made America special.
00:40:20.700 And it's not just political.
00:40:22.000 It's also cultural.
00:40:23.220 And so I have a lot of work to do here in the Senate.
00:40:25.540 So – but like I said, I've never talked to them about it.
00:40:28.020 But what I do know is that unlike the Democrats, President Trump will have a lot of good options available to him.
00:40:33.580 And I'm confident he's going to make the perfect and right choice.
00:40:35.960 But I've never talked to them about it.
00:40:38.660 How concerned are you that this election – it just doesn't end in madness?
00:40:44.900 I mean, from either side – I don't know how you're going to – if it's close.
00:40:50.520 I don't know how you're going to get either side to say, yep, that was fair.
00:40:55.220 Well, and I think you have to look at all of these other things that are being done.
00:41:00.080 I mean, we have people – Peter Navarro is going to jail.
00:41:03.940 I know.
00:41:05.500 But some gang member from Venezuela is released on bond and may never even be charged, right?
00:41:12.520 That's what we have to now see is that this is not just a political talking point.
00:41:17.320 I mean, we have seen their hatred for Donald Trump, their hatred.
00:41:21.380 Okay, that's what this is.
00:41:22.580 It's hatred and derangement about Donald Trump has caused them to do things that stretch the bounds of anything anybody thought was possible.
00:41:31.920 I mean, if I had described to you four years ago and said, okay, they are going to – a former president, leading candidate is going to face two federal indictments, including one in D.C.
00:41:43.460 where there's no way you're going to get a jury that isn't going to be unfriendly to Donald Trump.
00:41:47.580 Plus, state prosecutors like one in Georgia, one in New York are going to try to bankrupt him.
00:41:52.380 The other is going to try to put him in jail.
00:41:54.320 In addition to that, they're going to go after everyone that ever worked for him and try to bankrupt him.
00:41:58.360 If I had to describe these things – and plus, you're going to have supposedly serious people trying to actually remove him from the ballot.
00:42:04.440 Things that they're going to impeach him twice, including once after he's out of office.
00:42:09.320 You would have said that's not possible.
00:42:10.500 That's not going to happen.
00:42:11.400 I mean, that's too much even for them.
00:42:12.920 All of that has happened.
00:42:13.840 We're living all of that right now.
00:42:15.760 This is a derangement.
00:42:17.000 And derangement causes people to do things they wouldn't normally do, you would think.
00:42:21.820 But their thirst and lust for power allows them to justify anything they do.
00:42:27.380 And I think they don't like him because he is pro-America.
00:42:31.080 You know, let's focus on America, America first.
00:42:34.380 And that can't be had by many people on the left and in the Democratic Party.
00:42:39.480 Marco Rubio, thank you very much.
00:42:41.780 Yeah.
00:42:42.120 Okay.
00:42:42.700 Next interview, I'll tell you why they really don't like him.
00:42:44.800 And because I think it's an important point.
00:42:48.220 Okay.
00:42:48.960 Well, can you – I'm out of time.
00:42:52.040 In 15 seconds, what I would tell you is that –
00:42:54.740 Go, go, go.
00:42:55.280 The other day where he said that about the bloodbath, they liked it when Republicans would use a term like that.
00:43:01.080 Which is not offensive in any way.
00:43:02.600 And then the next day apologized and they would say, I'm sorry.
00:43:05.040 I didn't mean to say it that way.
00:43:06.160 I chose my words.
00:43:07.140 They liked those Republicans.
00:43:08.660 They don't like the Republicans.
00:43:09.620 True.
00:43:09.940 No, I meant bloodbath.
00:43:11.100 Here's what it says in the dictionary.
00:43:12.760 And everyone knows clearly what I was saying and you guys are playing a game.
00:43:15.700 They hate that he does that.
00:43:16.840 They hate it.
00:43:18.900 Please come on again.
00:43:20.160 Marco Rubio, thank you very much.
00:43:21.660 Love talking to you.
00:43:22.580 Bye-bye.
