In this episode of Glenn Beck's new show, host Glenn Beck is joined by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) and former prosecutor Dan Goldman (D-New York) to discuss the latest in the Joe Biden scandal.
00:09:55.920Did 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?
00:10:04.440Because of your brilliant humans-can't-be-illegal stance.
00:10:09.140Maybe the deaths of fentanyl for all of those Americans, 100,000 a year.
00:10:18.280You don't even mention it from time to time.
00:10:21.120And 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.
00:10:33.440downtrodden more than any other American.
00:10:40.600You'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.
00:11:02.860That result in, you know, being beaten up after the hard day of work, being beaten up by their pimps.
00:11:09.220Have 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.
00:11:26.560You 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.
00:11:40.560I'm trying to figure you liberals out because the CIA and Intel, the five eyes now are all collaborating.
00:11:51.420They're all working together to spy on Americans while we spy on their citizens.
00:12:01.920You're in bed now with major corporations who are in bed with big government, who are only enriching themselves by impoverishing the working class.
00:12:13.720Is there not a Marxist that cares about the working class anymore?
00:13:09.180Do you guys have one working brain cell?
00:13:11.460It'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.
00:13:22.740My, 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.
00:13:53.300Well, you sound out some of the small words.
00:13:56.740And 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.
00:14:09.260How do you miss that you're going to all end up eating each other?
00:14:16.920History'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.
00:15:09.960You 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.
00:15:45.920You 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.
00:15:59.260If 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.
00:16:11.040They didn't get there because they have a catchy name or web address.
00:16:14.940The 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.
00:18:54.000But there there's one other thing that came out that is also in that kind of accommodative monetary policy stance.
00:19:02.080So they have two tools to be more accommodative.
00:19:05.300They 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,
00:20:55.560Well, they're not going to let it run off that much anymore.
00:20:58.960They're going to probably, you know, they hadn't discussed it yet, but they kind of felt like that's where things were going.
00:21:04.320And 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.
00:21:18.700And he said, where's the balance sheet going to go, Ben?
00:21:21.680And he's like, well, I think it'll go back down under a trillion dollars.
00:21:28.360Basically, Jerome Powell said, yeah, that's not going to happen anymore.
00:21:31.680And that is an accommodative piece, a loosening of the current stance of monetary policy.
00:21:41.180So 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?
00:22:16.300So 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.
00:22:32.500And the higher the interest rate is, the more interest that we have to pay and the more inflation ultimately that is going to create.
00:22:40.640So basically, the Fed and the government have been fighting against each other.
00:22:45.620And instead of just coming out and saying, listen, Congress, listen, Biden, we need you guys to get your acts together.
00:22:52.520We're trying to do something to save the country and you need to do your part.
00:22:56.460But there's a lot of dancing around this issue.
00:23:00.260And 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.
00:23:38.500But these are the ones that go after money laundering and things like this.
00:23:43.460These 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.
00:23:59.640So 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.
00:24:14.040And 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.
00:24:24.600So if solopreneurs haven't registered with their secretary of state, they wouldn't be included.
00:24:29.860But 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.
00:24:39.000So 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.
00:24:48.020But they've decided to do something else.
00:24:50.120So now they said, well, we also feel like we need to go after residential real estate transfers under the Corporate Transparency Act.
00:25:01.920So 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.
00:25:16.800You're not getting a loan, nobody's paying a piece, it's just a gift transfer.
00:25:21.620They would also like for you to register that now, because we've given them an inch, right?
00:25:30.060Because they want to make sure, Glenn, that the cartels and the money launderers aren't parking their money in their homes.
00:25:39.400Because, 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.
00:25:48.220So, again, now we have this, this is a proposed rule.
00:25:52.400So I'm going to tell everyone now, I'm going to put up a letter later today on Twitter.
00:25:56.300I want you guys to copy it and comment on it, because we have until April 16th.
00:26:00.220But 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.
00:26:17.100You're going to have to alert FinCEN, you're going to have to keep records.
00:26:20.220So 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.
00:26:29.260And 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?
00:26:46.620Yes, 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.
00:27:02.820So 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.
00:27:30.100This is where you and I are going in the same direction.
00:27:33.340So now we have a database of people who own small business entities.
00:27:37.380Then they want to start with real estate.
00:27:39.800And I understand it's just transfers at first.
00:27:42.140But 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.
00:27:53.320So it seems to me, in the spirit of you will own nothing, that they really want to know where all your assets are.
00:27:59.980And 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.
00:28:19.360Because, 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?
00:29:24.620And 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.
00:29:36.160Senator Marco Rubio, welcome to the program.
00:29:39.020Well, actually, I wanted to try to convince you to move to Florida.
00:30:22.100We did it to – we don't want Chinese telecommunication companies operating in the U.S.
00:30:27.580because we know they pose a security risk.
00:30:29.360Whether there's evidence they're doing it or not, the capability to do it is unacceptable.
00:30:32.440So let me tell you what we know for a fact, okay?
00:30:34.720We 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.
00:30:43.400And part of that is narratives to distract us, you know, convince – put Americans to fight against each other.
00:30:51.040We 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.
00:31:02.420So, for example, convince us that it's a good thing that things are made in China because they're cheaper.
00:31:08.600And so, you know, drive that – those narratives and so forth.
00:31:13.540We also know that TikTok, the app – because the issue is not the app.
00:31:16.880The issue is not what people are saying on the app.
00:31:18.900The 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.
00:31:29.560The 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.
00:31:35.900And so this is a very valuable algorithm.
00:31:38.300That algorithm is not owned by TikTok.
00:31:40.100That algorithm belongs to a company named ByteDance.
00:31:42.760And ByteDance and all of their engineers are headquartered in China.
00:31:46.960Like every company in China, they have to do whatever the government of China tells them to do.
00:31:53.300It doesn't matter who's on their board.
00:31:54.700It doesn't matter who the shareholders are.
00:31:56.780China 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.
00:32:22.940So we know that they want to divide our country.
00:32:25.920We 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.
00:32:41.540Call 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.
00:32:55.420Well, look at what they did with the message of Osama bin Laden.
00:33:01.680All 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.
00:33:13.820You know, I think America – and, you know, they won't allow this exact device or algorithm in China on their own people.
00:33:48.400They're not going to shut off our power today.
00:33:49.800But we know that they're sitting there waiting to do it, just like they have missiles that are aimed at the United States.
00:33:55.860They're not launching them, but they plan to if there's a war.
00:33:59.420And so if we know that a threat exists, we have to address it.
00:34:01.960And 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.
00:34:08.340And so what I believe – this is my goal.
00:34:10.340My 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.
00:34:19.320And basically, let's do what the Chinese tell them.
00:34:21.540It doesn't have to be owned by an American.
00:34:22.920It doesn't have to be owned by someone we like.
00:34:24.580It doesn't have to be owned by someone we agree with.
00:34:27.540Now, 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 –
00:34:34.580Look, I have huge problems with the way Google operates.
00:34:37.780They've discriminated against me, I believe, during my campaign.
00:34:41.260I have huge problems with the concentration of power in the hands of big tech in America.
00:34:45.180But the answer to that problem, which includes allowing us to be able to sue these companies because they have editorial control over stuff.
00:35:05.040But 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.
00:35:22.160That's not the answer to the problem of Google and Facebook and Meta and all that stuff.
00:35:27.300So the way the House bill is written, the government could claim – the president could claim that Tucker Carlson is publishing Russian propaganda.
00:35:41.900And I heard people actually say this, that he was controlled by Russia.
00:35:46.100I 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.
00:36:02.540Let 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.
00:36:14.400No, 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.
00:36:19.960So, obviously, that's not the intent, and so that's the effort.
00:36:23.500The 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.
00:36:31.080People will continue to be able to put any post they want on TikTok.
00:36:36.400What 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.
00:36:46.280So, 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.
00:36:56.340You 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.
00:37:04.780That's what the First Amendment allows me to do in return, but it wouldn't ban pro-China messaging.
00:37:10.440And the reason, again, it's the algorithm that we're aiming at here, not that.
00:37:14.600And so the other thing is that the law, the way it's written, has to be domiciled.
00:37:18.220You 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.
00:37:25.800But 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.
00:37:37.800I mean, because I think that's what we're aiming at here.
00:37:39.900I 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.
00:38:23.400They'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.
00:38:29.860This guy apparently now is a property appraiser.
00:38:31.660You 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.
00:38:39.500He'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.
00:38:46.300We 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.
00:38:59.760So 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.
00:39:16.860So 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.
00:39:28.780Would you want to be his running mate?
00:39:30.860Well, 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.
00:39:35.840I have never spoken either to President Trump or anybody on his campaign about this or anybody else that they're considering for vice president.
00:39:44.080You 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.
00:39:52.980I love this country with all my heart.
00:39:55.280It changed the life of my family and the trajectory of my family.
00:39:59.160I mean, I'm not saying that people whose families were born here don't love the country this well.
00:40:03.480But 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.
00:40:10.060And I think this country is in a lot, a lot of trouble.
00:40:13.000I mean, not just bad policy decisions, but existential threats to our very nature as a republic and all things that made America special.
00:41:22.580It's hatred and derangement about Donald Trump has caused them to do things that stretch the bounds of anything anybody thought was possible.
00:41:31.920I 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.
00:41:43.460where there's no way you're going to get a jury that isn't going to be unfriendly to Donald Trump.
00:41:47.580Plus, state prosecutors like one in Georgia, one in New York are going to try to bankrupt him.
00:41:52.380The other is going to try to put him in jail.
00:41:54.320In addition to that, they're going to go after everyone that ever worked for him and try to bankrupt him.
00:41:58.360If I had to describe these things – and plus, you're going to have supposedly serious people trying to actually remove him from the ballot.
00:42:04.440Things that they're going to impeach him twice, including once after he's out of office.
00:42:09.320You would have said that's not possible.
