This is a serious op-ed from the New York Times.
00:02:52.380
Susan wrote, Glenn, my husband and Charlie, the Bee Man, are professional commercial beekeepers.
00:03:02.240
Me and my husband, the Bee Man does all the heavy lifting and works 12 hours a day during pollination season while I do all the honey and beeswax extraction.
00:03:10.660
I ordered Relief Factor because it helps the Bee Man with his back and hip during all the hard work.
00:03:18.000
His pain is so much more tolerable now than it was before.
00:03:21.680
I wonder if it helps, you know, with inflammation from thousands of bee stings.
00:03:28.820
I'm just I don't know for sure what his pain is.
00:03:32.600
But Relief Factor apparently, according to his wife, Susan, has helped a great deal.
00:03:43.900
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and 70 percent of them go on to order more.

00:04:02.460
Imagine that every state were free to choose whether to allow black people and white people to marry.
00:04:21.280
That's because in 1967, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that barring international,
00:04:28.260
barring interracial marriage, as 16 states still did, violates the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection.
00:04:38.720
Under the Constitution, the freedom to marry or not marry,
00:04:41.800
A person or another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the state,
00:04:49.940
More than half a century on, this court case is considered one of the court's great rulings.
00:04:56.960
And yet, it was not universally admired at the time.
00:05:05.520
Alabama didn't repeal its ban on international marriage or interracial marriage until the year 2000.
00:05:14.100
That's the point of having a federal constitution, says the New York Times op-ed.
00:05:22.460
The guarantees and rights in that document apply to all Americans equally whether or not they live in the South or the North,
00:05:30.040
no matter where they live, the court system and the Supreme Court in particular,
00:05:35.300
exist to protect those rights when state and local authorities refuse to.
00:05:42.320
Leaving the matter to individual states and political process means that millions of Americans will be denied their fundamental rights.
00:05:49.820
In this case, the right of a woman to decide what happens inside her own body.
00:05:57.440
The draft opinion relies heavily on the lack of mention of abortion in the Constitution,
00:06:05.180
therefore argues that the document cannot be the basis for the right to terminate a pregnancy.
00:06:11.880
The Constitution also says nothing about, here comes the fourth grader,
00:06:15.820
the Constitution also says nothing about interracial marriage.
00:06:19.300
That didn't prevent the judges from finding in the 14th Amendment
00:06:23.300
the guarantee that no couple may be treated differently because of the color of their skin.
00:06:30.980
Because that's specifically what the 14th Amendment is talking about.
00:06:35.960
It's specifically talking about you can't take somebody that lives here in America
00:06:42.900
and treat them differently because of the color of their skin.
00:06:53.700
Now, if the left, I suppose, were arguing that men could have abortions as well,
00:07:08.580
it doesn't say you can kill babies that you claim are a lump of cells.
00:07:21.540
the Constitution actually allows the federal government to do?
00:07:28.720
what are the number of things that the government is allowed to do,
00:07:57.120
not only is gay marriage and interracial marriage,
00:08:23.600
Interracial marriage banned because of the progressives.
00:08:27.720
I would say that Planned Parenthood had a lot to do with that.
00:08:53.300
So did George Washington because that was not the way they thought about it at all.
00:08:57.320
constitutional rights are meaningless unless they apply across the entire country.
00:09:02.400
Let me rephrase that for the New York Times and the fourth grader that wrote this.
00:09:06.840
constitutional rights are meaningless unless they apply to all people.
00:09:13.900
our argument here in the state would be that that clump of cells doesn't suddenly turn into a tumor.
00:09:34.040
No one is allowed to take that life from you unless you've done something and you've been tried in a court of law.
00:09:43.120
No innocent life is supposed to go away because the government says.
00:09:53.380
But the Constitution is there to say these are a few of the rights that come from God.
00:10:20.800
I'm speaking right directly to the progressive left.
00:10:32.880
That's really important because that's what the government wants you to believe.
00:10:41.760
The Supreme Court is not taking away abortion rights.
00:10:46.800
The Supreme Court is saying it's up to the people in the state.
00:10:50.960
The federal government can't do anything about it.
00:11:05.560
This is the least dictatorial ruling I have seen in I don't know how long.
00:11:25.240
because the Supreme Court is overturning Roe versus Wade.
00:11:31.960
I am not going to enforce any laws that say I have to break into a doctor's office and stop abortion.
00:12:03.840
You really hung on that H in height for some reason.
00:12:46.800
I know George Soros is telling you differently,
00:12:49.060
but you can't just say as the chief law enforcement officer in your state,
00:13:11.800
it really amazes me how stupid people really are.
00:13:29.380
It shows you have no understanding how this system works at all.
00:13:36.140
why should people be smart when they're spoon fed everything they're supposed to
00:13:43.820
CNN reported on Friday that the leak of the Supreme court draft opinion,
00:13:53.720
And it's going to lead to right-wing political violence.
00:14:03.300
CNN has learned the U S Capitol police are bracing for large demonstrations that are being
00:14:07.800
organized by far right groups to protest abortion rights.
00:14:32.420
The recently installed non-scalable fencing outside the court building was visible.
00:14:39.720
several members of law enforcement have expressed concerns that people who are committed to committing
00:14:44.580
act of violent extremism could use Roe versus Wade opinion for a justification of that.
00:15:16.040
a lot of people have been saying these things about the,
00:15:25.640
shocked to see the progressive left calling to burn the Supreme court and the country down.
00:15:37.220
those pro-life conservatives were really upset.
00:15:41.780
they had some heated arguments around the dinner table yesterday.
00:15:51.940
seems to be things like a Catholic church burned in Boulder,
00:16:55.680
they scribbled or actually very nice cursive handwriting.
00:17:04.680
which every conservative who doesn't know what 1312 means,
00:17:23.800
but so many words have been banned when somebody says the B word.
00:17:27.320
we wouldn't want to designate the gender of the police officer.
00:17:37.460
that was the tip off to me that it was definitely,
00:18:11.740
I want to tell you about a little girl named Pippa,
00:18:16.420
Pippa's mom liked her paintings and started sharing them all over social media.
00:18:26.700
Turns out market for putting paint paintings on a t-shirts,
00:18:39.940
great idea because it started selling like heart hotcakes and,
00:18:47.760
This is the kind of inspiring story that your kids can find what other kids are doing to become business owners,
00:18:56.620
They find you're finding them now in the Tuttle times.
00:19:00.260
It's a magazine dedicated to teaching our kids about entrepreneurship.
00:19:05.500
You can get access to the magazine now at a reduced rate,
00:19:44.040
all of these people pretending to be from the left,
00:19:48.280
but we know they are clearly right wing nut jobs that were protesting in front of the houses of,
00:20:25.820
Now it's okay to break the law when you're involved in a mostly peaceful protest,
00:20:37.940
When the left occupies the Supreme court building,
00:20:42.900
will it be called an insurrection at that point?
00:20:59.440
And she has a point because the quote unquote people who call themselves pro-life,
00:21:07.360
I remember I'm old enough to remember that in the eighties,
00:21:10.400
anti-abortion protesters began bombing clinics.
00:21:18.440
84% counties nationwide had no abortion clinic.
00:21:27.840
And I'm thankful to be here to me this morning with both Michelle and Nancy.
00:21:34.280
And I think it's very important for us to recognize that it is Christian extremism.
00:21:38.180
That is at the root of the shame and the stigma that allows laws like this to pass,
00:21:43.200
that allows justices like this to be confirmed.
00:21:46.120
And this does not represent the majority of feelings and beliefs of people in this country.
00:21:59.180
which is six times the normal viewership of MSNBC.
00:22:13.680
from 1973 to today is what brought us to this 98 page legal ruling by the Supreme Court.
00:22:36.720
It's impossible to bridge the gap with someone that dumb.
00:23:01.980
Always be on the lookout for identity thieves that want your personal
00:23:05.760
financial information so they can open accounts in your name,
00:23:10.660
things like not telling everyone on social media.
00:23:12.840
If you're going to be away from your house for a few days,
00:23:16.920
Life lock can help you do all of these things and stop the bad guys.
00:23:28.220
they have restoration specialists that will work with you to help fix the
00:23:58.680
but you can save 10 bucks off your blaze TV subscription by going to
00:24:21.860
writing about Jewish leaders banning abortion is absolutely a violation of
00:24:32.580
a coalition of rabbis who are defending Jewish pregnant people's right to
00:24:42.520
Ruttenberg scholar in residence at the national council of Jewish women who,
00:24:49.620
focuses on religious texts and she focuses on religious texts around sexuality
00:24:57.820
She says Judaism is a patriarchal religion and that there are plenty of
00:25:06.000
As if you view it through a reproductive justice lens,
00:25:12.180
she says much of the Jewish religion can be interpreted,
00:25:16.300
interpreted as support for the right to choose,
00:25:22.780
anybody who can read through a reproductive justice lens.
00:25:34.980
better contacts and eyeglasses is where I got mine.
00:25:53.540
the verse says when men fight and one of them pushes a pregnant woman and a
00:26:00.160
The one responsible shall be fined with the woman's husband's demands a
00:26:13.900
maybe these rabbis can't read Hebrew or know somebody cause I don't read
00:26:18.880
but I know people that read Hebrew and the Hebrew phrase that they are
00:26:23.980
translating as miscarriage actually translates to her child,
00:26:32.000
nowhere is in the Bible does that is that word translated as a miscarriage
00:26:40.180
because there's another word for miscarriage in Exodus.
00:26:52.660
if men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she prematurely gives birth
00:26:59.460
he's supposed to go to court and be punished accordingly.
00:27:07.060
if the baby comes out and there's something wrong with the baby because of
00:27:13.300
I've just wanted to just sounds really pro choice.
00:27:26.880
and they don't say that the scriptures say the sons,
00:27:38.280
Isaiah and I called me from the womb before I was born.
00:27:52.520
and then Jeremiah one 15 before I formed you in the womb,
00:28:07.380
So they could have aborted when the child was a Buick.
00:28:14.140
And that would have been way ahead of time for a Buick.
00:28:21.640
So the Bible is a book of patterns that maybe we should,
00:28:35.700
sometimes not to pull a single verse out and have that support your entire philosophy.
00:28:49.480
I just don't think I would pull one line to be or not to be.
00:29:07.760
I'm curious as to if you guys feel the same way on this.
00:29:15.940
I don't care if you have a religious viewpoint on abortion.
00:29:19.900
That has nothing to do with a woman's right and blah,
00:29:24.960
And I started thinking about that a little bit because they say this often as
00:29:27.860
if the only way you could come to the conclusion of keeping babies alive is
00:29:32.800
And I was kind of examining my own thought process on this.
00:29:38.900
But I don't think I've come to that conclusion at all based on my faith.
00:29:44.880
I'm really happy my faith agrees with the conclusion I've come to logically about
00:29:52.380
I don't think I would be able to square those two.
00:29:54.260
It would be really difficult for me to understand.
00:29:57.120
that is honestly more of a coincidence than anything else.
00:30:11.200
it is a legal stance is a logical stance that every child should have a chance at
00:30:17.340
all morals don't have to come be based in the Bible.
00:30:35.600
a lot of our laws comes from that Judeo Christian tradition.
00:30:39.840
But that does not mean that this is the reason why people want there to be no
00:31:01.360
like it's just doesn't like it's it murders another one,
00:31:04.600
Like thou shalt not murders in the Bible quite clearly,
00:31:07.460
but that's not necessarily why I think there should be a policy against
00:31:27.560
all the protests that are starting to occur and some of the violence that is
00:31:36.680
the report from CNN that warning of the far right violence because of this
00:31:48.360
I think the Nazis were pretty cool with killing babies.
00:32:02.120
Nazis are national socialists and they belong on the left.
00:32:11.440
Because they don't have something called the constitution.
00:32:19.840
the media and especially CNN is always trying to blame violence on the right.
00:32:25.820
And we never accommodate them except when it's one of the things that makes it so bad.
00:32:33.700
January 6th was probably the one thing that they can point to and say,
00:32:47.600
they got an excuse now to point to them and say,
00:32:51.100
we told you that I just don't think people are going to buy it.
00:33:02.580
like when they're trying to point to right-wing violence,
00:33:04.520
they literally go back to abortion clinic bombings from the 1980s.
00:33:22.840
But he had been before that when he supposedly bombed abortion clinics.
00:33:37.040
I think it was Kansas of an abortion clinic and,
00:33:43.740
never heard a conservative be justify that in any way.
00:33:55.560
Apparently you guys don't know what's really going on.
00:34:10.260
She knows what's happening with the Republicans.
00:34:13.140
She says the Republicans have financial gain in this Supreme court,
00:34:27.060
the money is coming from the Republican parties,
00:34:33.960
She's not competent enough to do anything of the sort.
00:34:37.500
this is a satanic force that's in the Supreme court.
00:35:05.460
a worldwide market for babies and it's all behind organ trafficking.
00:35:13.340
the Supreme court is officially the satanic force.
00:36:12.760
Do they play ping pong at the Supreme court too?
00:36:18.900
So I'm sure all the people that echo this Rosanna Arquette theory are going to be banned from social media like they were for Pizzagate.
00:36:44.940
Isn't it honestly like they're writing Scooby-Doo episodes really does.
00:36:54.840
the fed is behind the curve when it comes to fighting inflation.
00:37:01.040
it's a little ridiculous how far behind they are.
00:37:04.700
Their lack of movement is costing all of us dearly,
00:37:08.640
and it's going to make credit card debt much more expensive.
00:37:16.680
It's going to be harder and harder for you to get credit and harder and harder for you to afford any monthly payment that will actually bring that,
00:37:39.720
I have this amount of money that is on my credit cards and I'm paying already.
00:37:49.780
can I get a consolidation loan that will get me into the fours or 5% so I can pay this off and get out of this?
00:37:58.660
Have them look at your financial state and see if they can save you hundreds,
00:38:03.980
It's American financing 800-906-2440 800-906-2440 American financing.net American financing NMLS 1-82334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org
00:38:48.580
for the museum here for the American journey experience this weekend.
00:38:59.120
We have never seen auctions like in the last four or five weeks.
00:39:20.160
and I think it's because rich people are starting to take their money.
00:39:29.520
the auction prices are just going through the roof and they've been gently climbing.
00:39:33.980
But they're just starting to spiral out of control.
00:39:36.780
And I think that's because rich people are taking their money out of stocks and bonds and,
00:39:55.140
paper copies of the declaration of independence that was made.
00:40:28.980
And I always say this because my grandfather always taught me the people in the depression
00:40:35.120
who survived the depression were the people who had money going into it,
00:40:45.520
if we would have known what the rich people knew,
00:40:49.060
then we probably would have done better for ourselves.
00:40:56.100
I think are getting and putting their money into anything really that is long lasting an asset that will appreciate in value because dollars and stocks are going down.
00:41:11.920
a couple of months is about what we've seen with the weakening of all these markets too.
00:41:18.740
We've got a great hour with a former Soviet spy.
00:41:55.660
has to be sterilized so it can sit on a store shelf.
00:41:58.060
I'm not kidding for two or two and a half years.

victory day was commemorated yesterday with a big military parade.
00:44:18.140
He's also the guy that the Americans used as a consultant on that to get the story.
00:44:25.680
He also has a podcast documentary called the agent.

Mary wrote in about her experience with relief factor.
00:44:50.340
Now I can go up and down without any pain whatsoever.
00:45:04.820
It was developed by doctors and has four key ingredients that work with your body to fight
00:45:11.480
The three week quick start developed for you is 1995.
00:45:16.540
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered it and tried it.
00:45:19.560
And about 70% of them go on to do exactly what Mary just did.
00:45:41.860
The year was 1988 and Jack Barsky had been in the United States for over 10 years.
00:45:53.940
Like anyone living in the hustle and bustle of New York City, the sight of the skyline,
00:45:59.800
peppered with so many tall buildings, never got old.
00:46:03.220
He had made this city a home, a home he knew better than most native New Yorkers, having explored
00:46:13.400
He loved his job as a software developer at MetLife.
00:46:24.580
He lived in a modest apartment with his wife and young daughter.
00:46:28.000
And they considered looking for a bigger place now that there were three in the family.
00:46:32.980
Even though his days were long and his commute to and from Manhattan made it even longer,
00:46:38.220
he rushed back home every night to see his little princess one last time before she went to bed.
00:46:48.060
But this dream was about to take a sudden and unexpected turn.
00:46:57.940
I would probably wake up typically about seven, have a bowl of cereal.
00:47:28.460
I'm not a morning person, so I'm just like walking sort of in a daze.
00:47:32.880
I went along a path that I had communicated to the center.
00:47:39.340
They needed to know this because there was a spot on that path where they were able to put signals.
00:47:45.520
So every morning when I get to a supporting post for the elevated A train,
00:47:51.180
I would just take a look and nothing ever was there.
00:47:54.560
But on this cold December morning, Jack noticed something different as he approached the subway station.
00:48:01.800
I get a little closer and there was this red dot.
00:48:20.840
I had a set of Canadian documents that I had hidden in a park someplace.
00:48:26.460
And make a beeline to the Canadian border where eventually you get further instructions
00:48:42.520
The red dot was a signal from the center, the home of KGB headquarters back in Moscow,
00:48:47.260
and was part of an elaborate system of graphic signals used for communication.
00:48:53.000
In the 10 years he had spent in America, Jack had regular secret communication with other Russian agents.
00:49:02.560
But until today, Jack had never received the danger signal.
00:49:06.040
This is from the podcast, The Agent, and Jack Barsky is with us now.
00:49:17.880
I feel honored to be called a friend of the Glenn Beck program.
00:49:27.660
It'll probably get you in more trouble with the FBI and others, I think, at this point, Jack.
00:49:35.320
You're an amazing man who lives an amazing life.
00:49:39.120
And had we talked in the 80s, I wouldn't have said that.
00:49:42.800
But you have turned into a great friend of the United States, and I'm not going to reveal anything that is in the agent.
00:49:56.540
I just wanted to talk to you, Jack, because something is happening here with this Ukraine situation.
00:50:04.780
And I feel like everybody's pushing for war, and I'm not so excited about that, because this seems like this could quickly become a nightmare of world war proportions.
00:50:26.720
And we have to expect that Russia makes a lot of noise.
00:50:33.760
You know, this is what Putin does, and, you know, they threaten.
00:50:37.060
But what's happening in the United States and in other Western countries, we have a bunch of armchair warriors who are playing politics with a situation that could easily be accelerated into what you just call the World War III.
00:50:54.560
The first time I cringed when our president called Putin a war criminal, did that move the needle one way or the other?
00:51:04.880
I said, shut up, don't talk, act, because that, you know, that going back and forth could easily, you know, Putin just might get triggered by that.
00:51:15.880
He is not very amenable to being criticized, and that's a fact.
00:51:24.820
Jack, tell me, because I've gone back and forth in my head, other than them being incredibly different people, Ronald Reagan called Russia a, you know, an evil empire and called for the destruction of it.
00:51:41.360
And I know reading history that the Kremlin, I think it was Andropov, really was quite a paranoid guy and thought for sure that that the United States under Reagan would, you know, launch missiles in a first strike.
00:52:02.000
Well, first of all, you're right about Andropov and his paranoia.
00:52:08.460
He thought, and I was aware of that, he started an opera called Operation Ryan, where everybody, every KGB agent who operated in the West had to look out for signs of war.
00:52:22.940
But there was, in those days, the Soviet Union was already weakened, and there was more fear than, you know, active aggression.
00:52:40.960
And I think Vladimir Putin is very aggressive, and he's maneuvered himself into this position.
00:52:49.820
He can't, he's on a one-way street with no side street to get off.
00:52:56.160
And the, do you think he's, in his speech that he gave, where he talked about a new Russia being born, was that misinformation?
00:53:08.620
Or is this, do you think he really believes that?
00:53:18.860
He, a couple of years ago, I think, he wrote an essay, a lengthy essay, about what he wants to do, and he wants to restore Russia's greatness.
00:53:28.340
Not the Soviet Union, mind you, Russia's greatness.
00:53:38.820
And he has, you know, he's convinced himself that some greater power.
00:53:51.700
I don't know if he does believe in God, but he thinks he's been appointed to do just that.
00:54:01.140
So, what are we doing that we, I mean, we came out for the first time, Jack, that I know of,
00:54:09.720
and confirmed that we sunk the Russian flagship in the Black Sea, and that we confirmed that we are giving them all kinds of targeting information to target their generals.
00:54:24.500
We are just beating our chest in a very terrifying way.
00:54:42.580
Now, we do admit that we provide intelligence, but, you know, to say that we contributed to the destruction, make this statement that we have proof, that's an exaggeration.
00:54:58.560
Oh, my God, this country is populated by leakers, and everywhere you go where you're supposed to keep things secret, it leaks out.
00:55:12.620
As you're sitting watching all of this stuff unfold, somebody who grew up under that system, you probably know geopolitics, at least from a historic sense, probably better than most.
00:55:32.220
You need to put yourself into the shoes of Vladimir Putin, his leadership, and the Russian people in general.
00:55:41.740
And Putin looks at this conflict as a conflict between himself and the West, not just Ukraine.
00:55:51.760
He isn't just saying it, he believes it, because this kind of thinking is rooted in Russian history.
00:56:01.400
The Russian people and the Russian leaders have always been paranoid for a good reason.
00:56:07.600
Ever since Russia was founded, it has been attacked from all sides, from the northeast, west, south.
00:56:15.400
It was the Mongols, it was the Turks, it was the Vikings, it was Napoleon, and it was Hitler.
00:56:25.080
So, there's a paranoia gene in the Russian DNA, and Putin believes that the West is coming after him.
00:56:36.460
And this only gets worse as we shut down all of the financing and pull all of our people out.
00:56:48.420
And when I say our people, pull all of our financial systems and any of our businesses out of Russia.
00:56:58.400
It does, but I don't think it is as powerful as Americans like to believe.
00:57:12.120
And when you look at what's happening right now, the ruble has stabilized.
00:57:17.640
Putin still is, I think in the last two months, he got more oil and gas revenue than in the five months before.
00:57:31.900
I mean, right now, China is allied with him, and India is at best neutral.
00:57:41.320
So, he is not, you know, this is like, his economy is like a set of gears that will have to deal with some sand.
00:57:53.240
But I don't think we can bring him down to his knees.
00:57:57.280
All right, back in just a second with the agent.
00:58:01.700
He is a former Soviet spy from the United States.
00:58:13.440
We'll continue our conversation with Jack Barsky here in just a second.
00:58:16.520
First, let me tell you about American financing.
00:58:28.320
I really, truly believe that you can benefit from a 10-minute phone call, just a quick mortgage review.
00:58:36.640
It's free, no-obligation conversation about your current loan, and maybe about your debts and your high-interest credit cards to see if one of their salary-based mortgage consultants can help you.
00:58:54.720
If they can, you'll be moving forward with a new custom loan that saves you a lot of money every single month.
00:59:02.060
And if they can't save you any money, they're just going to let you know.
00:59:09.320
Family-owned business that is still family-focused.
00:59:13.400
They never charge you any upfront or hidden fees.
00:59:51.180
Well, you're obviously closer to war than we were just a few months ago, right?
00:59:58.520
You know, it's partially wishful thinking, but partially also there's some reality behind that, my believing that we're not that close.
01:00:11.720
I mean, Putin in his speech did not threaten nuclear, you know, exploding some nuclear missiles.
01:00:25.920
And I believe this conflict is going to drag on for a long time.
01:00:36.420
But there's a secondary war here, and the secondary war is economic, right?
01:00:43.180
Because, you know, Western Europe is, I think, in great danger.
01:00:47.840
We, as the United States, economically are not as much in danger because we have all the natural resources.
01:00:53.360
Western Europe, if they can, they're so dependent on, with regard to their energy, that if that war drags out for a long time, they will be severely weakened.
01:01:06.060
Well, we're not doing anything with our energy.
01:01:09.220
And I tell you, Jack, I look at this and I think, if I were a, you know, former Soviet spy and still could think like the other side, I'd be thrilled with what America was doing right now.
01:01:26.780
You know, we have gas prices going through the roof.
01:01:29.020
If we haven't even hit the summer, you know, we could be at $5 a gallon for the summer and maybe $7 or $8 for trucks, which will just cripple the nation.
01:01:38.840
I just want to make one statement, which is not necessarily political because, you know, there's one thing about, you know, talking about the ideology that runs rampant in the Democrat Party.
01:01:54.640
But we are currently led by a bunch of people who don't know how to get things done.
01:02:05.040
And, you know, we're shooting ourselves in the foot.
01:02:08.000
And, you know, you know that the energy policy is driven by ideology, and that's global warming.
01:02:32.540
When I left East Germany, I was 26 because I went first to Moscow to improve my English.
01:02:41.480
And when I left, when I came to the United States, I was 29.
01:02:56.420
And you, being from East Germany, I would assume, you know, you were very well aware of the spying that they did and the manipulation of people that they did.
01:03:08.700
Did you know that when you joined the KGB that they were patriotic kind of our side versus their side?
01:03:17.880
I was not, I was a patriot, but I also was a revolutionary.
01:03:23.940
I was going to contribute to, you know, build the paradise, the workers' paradise on earth.
01:03:31.420
And I was ideologically 100% behind the Soviet Union, East Germany, KGB, the Stasi, simply because of ignorance.
01:03:44.240
You know, this is what happens in a state where all communication is regulated and it's owned by the state.
01:03:55.940
So that's where I want to pick up our conversation.
01:04:00.940
What are the things that you saw in West, East Germany and Russia that you realized were bad that are seemingly starting up here?
01:04:16.000
Our conversation with Jack Barsky continues in just a minute.
01:04:28.260
They're just American causes, and we should be contributing when we can.
01:04:34.800
There's a great cause, a great charity, Tunnel to Towers.
01:04:38.040
It's a foundation, and Charity Navigator rates them four out of four.
01:04:42.760
Since 9-11, Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been supporting America's heroes and their families.
01:04:48.740
And when a first responder or military service member doesn't come home and young children are left behind,
01:04:54.100
Tunnel to Towers pays off their mortgage to lift their financial burden and bring their family to stability.
01:05:00.260
They also enable severely injured heroes to live more independent lives with free smart homes.
01:05:07.080
And Operation Homebase, Tunnel to Towers is gifting tiny homes to homeless veterans.
01:05:14.280
These are the people that we should, as community members, be helping ourselves.
01:05:18.100
Join Tunnel to Towers on their mission to do good in their honor.

BlazeTV.com slash Glenn is the place to go to subscribe to BlazeTV.
01:05:48.100
A guy I find absolutely fascinating is Jack Barsky.
01:05:59.480
He is a former Soviet spy that was arrested by the FBI, I think, around 1990-something.
01:06:22.800
And his story is the audio documentary and podcast, The Agent, which, if you haven't listened
01:06:33.380
So, Jack, you were born in East Germany, recruited by the KGB.
01:06:38.740
You assumed the identity of a U.S.-born citizen.
01:06:44.380
You spied here in the United States for 10 years on corporate America.
01:06:54.600
You started to, the Soviet story, if you will, the things that drove you as somebody who was
01:07:06.520
willing to go in and possibly lose their life for their country, started to fall apart.
01:07:12.240
It started crumbling when I entered the workforce as a professional, okay?
01:07:22.060
So, because then I became sort of a functioning member of American society, and all the things
01:07:29.680
that we were taught, how evil American corporations are, and how workers are being suppressed, turned
01:07:39.520
So, but that didn't necessarily make me an anti-communist right away.
01:07:45.980
You know, many other things had to happen, and what really triggered me finally doing some investigation
01:07:54.860
as to whether I knew the truth or not was when the Berlin Wall came down.
01:08:01.260
And that was at a time when the Internet was available to do research, and one by one, all
01:08:14.500
At that point, I decided, you know, I'm just going to be a private citizen and not take any
01:08:23.740
But, then 9-11 happens, and, you know, and at that point, you know, I became emotionally
01:08:32.640
an American, and what actually made me a fan of the United States as it was initially constructed
01:08:41.700
is I took a 10-part online course on the American Constitution.
01:08:48.600
And, to me, that is the most brilliant political document I have ever read and heard about.
01:08:57.400
So, Jack, when you see things like the truth panel or disinformation panel from the DHS or
01:09:08.260
the violence on the street that's called, you know, a protest or just vandals, and yet January
01:09:17.020
6th are terrorists and held with some of them without charge now for over a year, we now
01:09:24.600
have Twitter and Facebook and Google monitoring things and editing things.
01:09:31.260
Teachers unions now are demanding more censorship from Facebook.
01:09:39.840
Yeah, well, I told you that, you know, I was fundamentally brainwashed.
01:09:47.000
And the bottom line is, in a country, in a society where you control the message, you
01:09:54.780
And, you know, our messages were totally controlled.
01:10:00.180
Putin manages to control the messages in his country.
01:10:08.280
And at this point, there's the left in cahoots with the media, in cahoots with big tech, is
01:10:18.440
working on taking control of the message universe.
01:10:27.860
And, you know, Elon Musk has just bought Twitter.
01:10:45.920
And if it doesn't get reversed, goodbye the country that was once America.
01:10:53.580
How do you convince people, a new generation that are being indoctrinated, how do you convince
01:11:04.760
them of freedom of speech that actually means you have to tolerate the other side?
01:11:15.160
And this is where this is really what is the most, the biggest danger, the root cause of
01:11:23.080
why it is quite reasonable to be pessimistic here.
01:11:28.060
We are already into the second generation of Americans that have been raised, educated
01:11:40.340
And, you know, it started, you know, with the anti-Vietnam War, Vietnam movement, where
01:11:53.700
a whole bunch of students became radicalized with left-wing ideas.
01:12:03.700
And they raised and they taught the next generation of teachers.
01:12:06.980
So it's very difficult to run up against prejudices in young minds that, you know, that were planted
01:12:21.500
I have proof of that because when I went back to East Germany, to Germany after so many years,
01:12:31.560
and I had discussions with, you know, contemporaries, you know, folks that I went to school and
01:12:40.040
college with, you think they have been able to shed all their communist ideology?
01:12:47.500
What is planted in you as a young person is very difficult to reverse.
01:12:54.960
I had the luxury of a slow and painless decontamination.
01:13:03.320
Most of my friends and classmates in Germany did not.
01:13:10.180
And so, and that is the reason I'm worried about, you know, the future of this country because
01:13:16.060
I don't, I really don't know how you, it would be, you know, all of us free thinkers
01:13:25.820
would have to, like, make an effort and work on the young people that we are, you know,
01:13:33.320
that we are in contact with and we might be influenced, be able to influence, but it takes
01:13:39.940
a huge effort and all of us need to participate in that.
01:13:45.040
If you had, if your children, you have one child, right?
01:13:53.900
If your children, if your children were school age, would you have them in our schools today?
01:14:06.500
She's school age and she has never been in a public school and she will not be in a public
01:14:12.160
She, she is currently enrolled in a Christian school where interestingly enough, they teach
01:14:18.600
how to think and how to argue and how to make, and how to, you know, how to, you know, just
01:14:24.620
like, they, they, they do exactly the opposite of what, you know, Christian schools are being,
01:14:30.700
but yes, and also what, you know, the, the rest of society thinks that what's happening
01:14:36.520
in Christian schools where they, they teach nothing but memorizing the Bible.
01:14:43.240
Jack, thank you so much for talking to us and I really appreciate it and I've really
01:14:48.040
enjoyed, uh, not only your book, but also your podcast.
01:14:54.900
And I appreciate, uh, you know, how you actually positioned, uh, me at the beginning of the
01:15:02.860
You're very kind, Jack, Jack Barsky, former Soviet spy.
01:15:06.460
Um, he is also the storyline of the agent, the podcast audio documentary and the author
01:15:14.920
He was a guy that, uh, was one of the consultants on the Americans.
01:15:20.920
If you've never seen that, uh, it's, it's quite an amazing, uh, series, uh, as well.
01:15:28.560
Jack Barsky, again, a good friend of the Glenn Beck program.
01:15:33.580
So what are you paying, uh, for your cell phone every single month?
01:15:39.720
How much of that money is actually going to help Planned Parenthood?
01:15:45.140
Do you know how much of it would you want it to go to help Planned Parenthood?
01:15:55.620
I don't want any of my money going to far left, uh, activities.
01:16:00.260
And, uh, you know, they have a right to do whatever they want with their money, but I
01:16:08.080
And I don't want my money supporting people that are trying to tear everything down that
01:16:18.760
Call 972-PATRIOT and get free activation with the offer code Beck.
01:16:28.300
Support companies that love America, love you, and share your values.
01:16:48.760
So I don't know if you saw what Elon Musk posted.
01:17:07.360
He posted a screenshot of a translated message, uh, from Moscow's space chief.
01:17:14.820
Uh, and it said, from the testimony of the captured commander of the 36th Marine Brigade
01:17:19.880
of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Dmitry Korman, Kormaninov, uh, it turns out the internet
01:17:27.340
terminals of Elon Musk's Starlink satellite company were delivered to the militants of the
01:17:36.160
According to our information, the delivery of the Starlink equipment was carried out by the
01:17:40.600
Elon Musk, thus, is involved in supplying the fascist forces in Ukraine with military
01:17:49.940
And for this, Elon, you will be held accountable.
01:17:55.600
Like an adult, no matter how much you play the fool.
01:17:59.500
First, Elon, uh, tweeted, the word Nazi doesn't seem to mean what he thinks it means, which
01:18:10.360
Uh, and then he said, if I die under mysterious circumstances, it's been nice knowing you.
01:18:34.780
No, everybody seems to be, uh, upset with him in one way or another.
01:18:43.100
I mean, forget about, obviously the, the, the, uh, the thing here is for the Russians to point
01:18:48.860
out that the military is using the internet here to communicate.
01:18:52.580
But I mean, honestly, just for the average person who, uh, you know, the internet would
01:18:57.420
be toast in Ukraine, if not for, for Elon Musk, just for the regular people to be able
01:19:06.140
If not for Elon Musk, uh, who just decided, uh, to act in a way that, uh, you know, remarkable
01:19:11.500
before what a year ago would not have been possible.
01:19:14.840
Did you hear, did you ever see these satellites over your head, Glenn?
01:19:22.000
There's like a long, in the middle of the night, I looked up one night and I was like,
01:19:25.420
what the hell is before I knew Elon Musk was even doing this?
01:19:29.460
And it's like a long string of satellites, like seemingly that go on forever and they
01:19:35.260
just come across the sky, all like spaced evenly apart and just go across the sky.
01:19:41.520
So up in the, uh, up at my ranch, uh, I just put Starlink in and we just tested it over the
01:19:53.880
And the, um, the word from my chief engineer was somehow or another, he has seemingly, uh,
01:20:04.940
solved or affected the light speed problem because he's cut delays back like a phenomenal
01:20:14.900
amount to where, you know, you and I, when I'm up the ranch, we have a hard time talking
01:20:19.900
to each other on air because it's the satellites are so slow.
01:20:33.820
This is from the director of electronic warfare at the office of the secretary of defense.
01:20:39.760
This guy is in charge of our electronic warfare.
01:20:43.260
He said, uh, Starlink was able to fight off the attack faster than the U S military could
01:20:50.060
have been able to, and that officials need to learn something from Musk.
01:20:54.240
Starlink had slung a line of code and fixed it.
01:20:58.280
Um, uh, noting that the quick change rendered the attack, not effective.
01:21:03.160
How they did that was why, uh, eye watering to me.
01:21:07.460
There's really an interesting case to study and look at the agility that Starlink had in
01:21:14.000
their ability to address this problem in the way that Starlink was able to upgrade when
01:21:27.000
And I keep seeing these pieces written by people talking about Elon Musk taking over Twitter
01:21:31.380
that look, I mean, there's a lot of hubbub here, but what's he really going to do?
01:21:35.880
Well, there's not going to be much of a change.
01:21:37.440
Oh, I think what business has Elon Musk touched that there wasn't a huge change in.
01:21:43.620
He, when he takes over a business like this or starts one, he revolutionizes the industry.
01:21:49.840
And there, I don't think there's any reason to believe he's not going to attempt and
01:21:52.920
very well succeed and try to do the same at Twitter.
01:21:55.020
If we have, if we have time, we should talk about it.
01:21:57.700
Cause he laid out some of his plan on Twitter, what he's going to do.
01:22:02.000
Uh, it starts with laying off or firing a thousand employees.
01:22:06.420
Uh, and then he's going to go back and he's going to hire more engineering people that no
01:22:11.020
word on if he's hiring more content regulators.
01:22:14.160
Um, but, uh, uh, and then he's going to introduce something called, uh, Twitter blue.
01:22:25.620
I'm sorry, but he wants to build up the subscriptions to Twitter blue.
01:22:29.740
So he wants to make sure that people are doing that because he said, that's the way to protect
01:22:39.480
Or you have sponsors that don't mind what people say.
01:22:42.600
I would absolutely pay a reasonable monthly fee to get a better experience on Twitter.
01:22:49.000
That isn't, you know, choreographed by a bunch of crazy leftists.
01:23:27.900
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:23:56.500
Hey, this is going to, this is going to be a surprise to you, but California says it needs
01:24:03.760
more power to be able to keep the lights on this summer.
01:24:09.600
And other states are starting to join in going, we might be headed towards a problem because
01:24:17.080
we keep shutting down plants before we're ready to shut them down.
01:24:32.580
Patricia wrote in about her dog's experience with rough greens.
01:24:40.960
Don't think I could do a cockapoo just for the name.
01:24:52.080
He's 10 years old, but he has a lot more energy now and he doesn't itch as much as
01:25:06.100
It's something you put on your dog's food and it's full of probiotics and antioxidants
01:25:15.160
They're so confident your dog's going to love it that they have a special deal for you.
01:25:17.960
Just go to roughgreens.com slash back and they'll give you your first bag free.
01:25:32.260
That's 8 3 3 Glenn 33 or roughgreens.com slash back.
01:25:37.200
California energy officials on Friday issued a sober forecast for the state's electrical grid.
01:25:43.780
They're saying now it lacks sufficient capacity to keep the lights on this summer and beyond
01:25:52.320
if heat waves and wildfires or other extreme events take their toll.
01:25:58.740
May I just ask Californians, do you actually think that heat waves and wildfires, uh, are
01:26:09.200
unexpected, extreme events because as an outsider, it seems like every summer we go through this.
01:26:19.580
And when I say we go through this, you go through this, but then we have to watch it and hear
01:26:27.880
And yeah, some of us go out, not me, but some of us go out to actually help put the fires
01:26:46.180
It's mismanagement of your forests, uh, for one.
01:26:49.660
Uh, and you don't save any water, you know, and when you have rolling blackouts, it's not
01:27:05.480
Because you refuse to build any kind of reservoir for water or any electrical plant, but you feel
01:27:15.420
Cause we don't have a single coal fire plant, not one coal fire plant in California, yet
01:27:21.500
most of your electricity still coming from coal fire plants, just in another state.
01:27:28.380
These people make me want to vomit as long as I don't see it, as long as it doesn't view
01:27:39.080
We'd have smog in, in Nevada or Utah or one of those other bordering states.
01:27:50.040
I don't mind if you build 25 coal power plants over there.
01:27:57.140
Oh, this comes from the, the, the California beaches that have the oil rigs right off the
01:28:06.880
I think it looks, I mean, you know, like you get the idea.
01:28:15.120
But yeah, no, it's a big, I mean, look, fossil fuels still dominate this country.
01:28:19.320
It's, I mean, coal has come down quite a bit over the past few years, but natural gas has
01:28:24.360
So yes, it's a cleaner fossil fuel, but it is still a fossil fuel.
01:28:28.660
So they had an online briefing, um, and the officials are now forecasting a potential
01:28:40.360
And they say, if there's something unexpected, like a forest fire, not really extreme, not
01:28:51.620
Just want to say, they say it could go as high as 5,000 megawatts.
01:28:59.960
That's enough to put a, about 4 million people in the dark without electricity.
01:29:09.080
Oh, and there's, by the way, they also say your energy prices are going to increase in
01:29:19.720
I think if they're, if that's what they're saying, it'll be closer to 12 to 80%, but maybe
01:29:31.000
Now, there is a, uh, another group saying, Hey, maybe we should slow down on this whole
01:29:38.500
Uh, and, uh, uh, and that would be Jack bear, the CEO of me.
01:29:44.160
So he came out yesterday and he said, as we move forward, um, know that when you put a
01:29:52.040
solar panel or a wind turbine up, it's not the same as a thermal resource.
01:30:01.000
Like coal or gas, he says, the issue on the rise throughout the country and all throughout
01:30:09.700
the West is many traditional and nuclear power plants are being retired to make way for the
01:30:17.260
renewable sources of energy, but the plants are being turned off faster than the renewable
01:30:36.160
That's going to make everything work in, in your, in your craziest, busiest kids are screaming.
01:30:54.600
We're going to build these solar panels and things, uh, and wind power.
01:30:59.560
Uh, and that should be a few years in the future.
01:31:06.900
At the height of the screaming of the kids, you're like, no, and don't bother me.
01:31:18.320
Wouldn't it be nice if we had both, if we had the solar and the wind and we kept that
01:31:28.440
nuclear power plant running just in case we need it.
01:31:31.820
Of course, that'll never happen because there's never a need for it.
01:31:34.300
There's never a spike because of a heat wave or a forest fire or a mudslide or an earthquake.
01:31:45.280
Why keep the other power plant running very low so you could crank it if you needed it?
01:31:55.580
All I know is that all of this talk has convinced me even more to fully convert our economy to
01:32:02.000
electric cars because what could possibly go wrong with California?
01:32:07.320
You know what kills me is Elon Musk is even coming out going, we can't do this.
01:32:11.660
I mean, he's the guy to, he's leading the charge.
01:32:16.400
He's the guy that has become the richest guy in the world for pushing this stuff.
01:32:26.560
Even he's saying, hey, we may need to develop our fossil fuels for the near future, considering
01:32:31.980
the global economic consequences and problems that we're having with energy.
01:32:38.360
So a guy who honestly is what I would refer to as an environmental extremist is even coming
01:32:47.140
Well, he's only an extremist because he built a car company that really had no place to charge
01:32:56.240
when he first started, you know, to charge the batteries.
01:32:59.580
And then he's building rocket ships to go to Mars to get away from Earth because it's yeah.
01:33:06.600
But other than that, he's not an extremist, not an extremist.
01:33:13.360
So the next story that you probably should pay attention to is diesel.
01:33:18.800
We've been talking about this in the last couple of weeks.
01:33:23.660
Diesel fuel is the fuel that powers the economy.
01:33:39.620
You have to put it onto a big boat, a slow boat from China.
01:33:51.420
And, you know, all of those big cranes and everything else that take that crap off of the ship
01:34:01.800
And then the forklifts that come and pick it up and then bring it over to the train.
01:34:08.440
And then the train, those engines run on diesel.
01:34:13.300
And then the trucks that get it halfway across the country from the train,
01:34:19.340
they're picked up again by the forklifts run by diesel.
01:34:23.780
And then they're put into a truck also run by diesel.
01:34:29.360
I love these people like I'm not going to have to worry about anything because I have a Tesla.
01:34:34.820
Yeah, I certainly hope that that grocery store that has food is within 400 miles of you.
01:34:43.980
Because I don't think it will when all the diesel dries up.
01:34:49.040
East Coast stockpiles are at their lowest since 1996.
01:34:54.400
Diesel and jet fuel at New York Harbor are now $200 a barrel.
01:35:00.240
Europe's move away from Russian energy is also hastening the rapid price appreciation.
01:35:09.720
They are now bringing in 700,000 barrels a day of diesel from Russia.
01:35:22.140
But maybe we should have a plan before we stop doing stuff.
01:35:28.320
They say that the rates for diesel are up now 90%.
01:35:42.360
They're reconfiguring all of these refineries that don't worry.
01:35:54.600
Seriously, if you bought a TV or a cell phone, well, there were no cell phones, a TV in 1972.
01:36:04.000
Are you telling me you wouldn't be getting the same crisp picture today that you could get, you know, at a Walmart for a hundred bucks?
01:36:16.000
There's no technology that hasn't been, you know, just made better since 1972.
01:36:26.880
These refineries are trying to, that don't make diesel, are now trying to retool to make diesel.
01:36:37.160
And you know why everybody gets, why gas goes up?
01:36:41.260
Because of California, some of these refineries, they retool so they could make special blends for everybody.
01:36:54.020
Well, now a lot of our refineries are trying to retool so they can make trucks or, you know, or put the fuel in the trucks or the tractors of something called farms.
01:37:08.380
And that's going to cause our gasoline to go up.
01:37:13.900
I bet this summer, I bet we're paying over five bucks a gallon.
01:37:18.760
And God only knows where diesel is going to be.
01:37:20.920
I saw, you know, I was driving this weekend and saw the diesel prices.
01:37:30.160
I saw this weekend and this is in like middle of nowhere, Oklahoma.
01:37:36.720
I can't even imagine what these guys are paying.
01:37:44.860
But this is going to, you know, they like it at the Biden administration because it's going to help people transition.
01:37:49.860
You know, first, we won't have any real electricity.
01:37:57.400
We'll have those rolling brownouts all across the country, which I think Americans are going to be cool with.
01:38:02.560
You know, I think we're really going to be cool with that.
01:38:06.280
I think I really honestly, without any sarcasm, I really think that they are building their own hangman stand.
01:38:17.680
I think the left is pushing this country so fast, so quickly into things that are really insanity.
01:38:26.460
And everybody's going to pay for it that I think they're going to look and say, get out, get out, get out.
01:38:34.660
I think they're going to actually push the global warming thing even back because people are going to be so angry at what they're being what they're being told they have to pay.
01:38:47.800
That I think these people are going to be voted out as long as we still have free and fair elections.
01:38:53.120
These people are going to be voted out because Americans are not going to put up with five dollar a gallon gasoline and just take it.
01:39:07.180
You have the left saying global warming is this huge, huge crisis.
01:39:11.280
And yet, who are the people that are constantly attacking Elon Musk?
01:39:18.240
Conservatives are like, hey, this guy is, you know, we don't always agree with his climate stuff, but man, he's a pretty amazing guy and he's helping people and he's helping people.
01:39:26.940
He's made the electric car something that people actually want to buy.
01:39:30.360
Same thing on the other side with the real solution here.
01:39:34.820
If you needed to solve global warming and have a zero emission electricity option, it would be nuclear.
01:39:40.420
And yet, who are the people constantly attacking nuclear?
01:39:47.640
We want it to be developed and they're shutting it down.
01:39:50.040
And if you had nuclear, you could you could make an endless supply of hydrogen in the off hours.
01:39:58.420
When people are sleeping, you keep the plant running same level and you just make hydrogen.
01:40:05.260
You have an endless support of clean zero emissions energy that you can clearly get and make more every single day.
01:40:19.040
You can use that would be you could use that for hydrogen vehicles if those were developed and then would be obviously in this situation or electric cars.
01:40:26.240
They're like, I mean, you also have the electric.
01:40:28.240
You'd have enough to go with the electric cars.
01:40:29.980
You wouldn't need all of the craziness that they're trying to do now.
01:40:36.280
Why is this isn't about anything except killing capitalism, killing the West?
01:40:43.200
It's it's clear there are two solutions and they're all rolled into one nuclear energy.
01:40:50.260
I just saw this documentary, a scariest damn documentary I've ever seen about Three Mile Island.
01:40:56.060
My gosh, you would think that it was nothing but killed a million children.
01:41:04.300
Because the maximum radiation was the set was the equivalent of a full set of chest X-rays.
01:41:14.120
No, they never get down to exactly how much has been released.
01:41:37.920
Inflation, the government will tell you, that is running around 9%.
01:41:43.720
Well, the shadow stats where you can actually, you know, gauge, you actually include things like gas and rent, food, things like that.
01:42:02.260
GDP growth is negative and inflation is running high.
01:42:10.220
If the dollar is getting weaker, invest in whatever is it's weaker than.
01:42:17.900
You can weather a stagflation period if you have something that is holding its value.
01:42:28.080
It's that the dollar is getting cheaper and cheaper, so it can't buy as much.
01:42:32.760
Goldline is giving away one of their most popular products ever, the Silver Maple Flex Bar.
01:42:38.840
With every gold legal tender bar pack you acquire, you'll receive a free Silver Maple Flex Bar at no cost.
01:42:46.560
These are minted by the Canadian Mint, and they're fantastic.
01:42:50.040
The last time this offer was presented was years ago, and they sold out in three days.
01:43:02.460
A free, silver, maple flex bar with every gold legal tender bar pack that you acquire.
01:43:14.880
Go to goldline.com or just call one of the people there.
01:43:32.460
By the way, we're going to get to the food facility fires here in just a second.
01:43:45.220
And my computer is frozen, so the thing we were going to do here is not going to happen.
01:43:51.380
I think you just, I think you abuse your computer.
01:44:06.700
But we're going to go over your personal inflation here in a little while.
01:44:15.560
That food processing plants are all catching fire.
01:44:38.080
So, I believe in the next couple of years, millions are going to die from starvation.
01:44:46.140
I believe our leadership all over the world knows that as well.
01:44:50.740
We're not going to have starvation deaths, I hope not here, in America, but we'll have hard times.
01:44:57.760
But there are parts of the world that will actually starve to death because of what we are doing right now.
01:45:06.140
May I suggest that you prepare for any hard times ahead by getting some emergency food.
01:45:14.900
If food shortages really get bad here in America, are you prepared for it?
01:45:23.240
Are you even just prepared for losing your job or things just getting so expensive?
01:45:35.260
You'll save $150 on a three-month emergency food kit.
01:45:50.760
Tune in in just a moment to find out your personal rate of inflation or to hear me light my computer on fire.
01:46:11.200
Your personal inflation rate coming up in just a second.
01:46:15.380
I want to share with you from National Review and Jim Garrity.
01:46:19.360
There is a great story on the food facility fires.
01:46:24.560
I've been asked about this over and over again, and we looked into it, and it doesn't seem to be out of the normal, believe it or not.
01:46:38.260
Now, there are some things that, well, for instance, National Review writes,
01:46:43.600
In a typical year, how many plane crashes do we have into food processing plants?
01:46:50.060
How many planes crash into a food processing plant?
01:47:08.980
And so you would think, hmm, there's something wrong.
01:47:12.660
But two, I mean, it's really unlikely, but okay.
01:47:17.420
So let's look at everything that's been happening.
01:47:19.740
A plane crashed into an Idaho potato and food processing plant, killing the pilot.
01:47:24.860
But police say Gem Strait processing in Hayburn, East Idaho, at about 835 in the morning on
01:47:33.060
Wednesday, the pilot was the only person in the plane and died during the crash.
01:47:37.260
Police said none of the employees at the processing plant were injured.
01:47:41.220
So it had to be a kamikaze food plant guy, okay, because he flew the plane into the plant.
01:47:47.380
Then, just a couple of weeks later, Covington, Georgia, firefighters responded to a plane crash
01:47:53.640
that killed two people Thursday at the General Mills food processing plant.
01:47:58.880
The small plane crashed apparently after taking off from a runway at the Covington Municipal
01:48:04.920
Six tractor trailers were damaged as a result of the crash.
01:48:10.880
However, local officials were grateful the plane did not strike the plant building, which
01:48:17.860
So, if you want to go for the plane crash idea, yeah, two plane crashes in or near food processing
01:48:36.340
February 5th, massive, these are the headlines, massive fire swept through Wisconsin River Meats
01:48:46.640
Then, February 22nd, the Shears Food Plant in Hermiston, Oregon, caught fire after a propane
01:48:53.920
March 17th, a structure fire at the Walmart Distribution Center in Plainville, Indiana, broke
01:49:01.500
A thousand employees were inside, but none were injured.
01:49:07.580
March 22nd, a fire broke out at a Nestle Hot Pockets plant in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
01:49:18.900
The facility was still closed as of March 21st.
01:49:22.080
March 25th, officials believe a deep frying machine is behind the fire that destroyed a
01:49:31.520
April 13th, firefighters from several departments in Maine helped battle a massive fire.
01:49:37.280
That destroyed a butcher shop and meat market in Center Conway, New Hampshire.
01:49:42.400
And April 30th, soybean processing tank caught fire at the Purdue Farms plant in Chesapeake,
01:49:59.140
And this is exactly the way Jim Garrity has looked at it.
01:50:02.360
Not all the fires or crashes did significant damage.
01:50:07.360
In the Chesapeake soybean facility fire, the plant manager said the fire had little to no
01:50:15.120
In the Georgia crash, the plane didn't hit the building.
01:50:20.060
And General Mills spokesperson said the plant didn't experience any disruption and remains
01:50:26.900
Uh, the pilot in that crash, by the way, was identified as a student pilot.
01:50:32.320
And the other person was the flight instructor.
01:50:34.820
So, I mean, unless it was some sort of anti food processing plant flight instructor that took
01:50:45.640
that plane down and missed the plant, uh, that's probably not one to count.
01:50:51.440
Second, none of the fires so far have been declared cases of arson.
01:50:56.040
This is really important because I, you know, I went looking at these and I thought to myself,
01:51:03.740
Um, but when we really started looking, none of them have been deemed arson.
01:51:08.980
Um, the, um, uh, and that's from coast to coast.
01:51:14.000
If any of them had been deemed arson, if two of them, I would have been like, well, let's
01:51:18.920
look into this, um, in any given year, there are half a million fires reported to local
01:51:24.560
About 5,300 of them are manufacturing or processing facilities that comes to about 440 per month.
01:51:33.540
And if there are fires in 440 manufacturing or processing facilities a month from coast
01:51:39.580
to coast, wouldn't we expect at least a handful of these to be at food processing facilities?
01:51:46.300
In fact, the list, uh, above stretches the definition of food processing facilities because
01:51:52.960
the Walmart distribution center also stored clothes and cardboard and the new Hampshire
01:52:01.180
Third, if you were a terrorist or a foreign agent or somebody in the deep state choke attempting
01:52:07.540
to choke off the American food distribution network, would you start with a potato chip maker
01:52:13.320
in Oregon or the source for hot pockets in Arkansas, then move on to a soybean processing
01:52:24.380
If you were nefarious terrorist group or hostile foreign power and had not, you know, not merely
01:52:30.960
one suicide pilot, but two of them, as in the case of the Georgia crash, who, why were
01:52:39.160
they there, why not use that third person to bring down another plane?
01:52:47.500
And would you really aim for a potato processing plant in Southern Idaho than the Georgia plant
01:52:56.240
The U.S. had, as of 2017, the U.S. had 36,486 food and beverage processing establishments.
01:53:10.580
What's most likely happening, according to Jim Garrity, is the Bader-Meinhof phenomena.
01:53:17.480
You may not know what the Bader-Meinhof phenomena is, but you've experienced it.
01:53:26.280
Have you ever gone to buy a car and then suddenly they're everywhere?
01:53:37.840
It's a frequency illusion that when things start to happen, and we are now looking at food shortages.
01:53:46.640
We also all know some things aren't being done by our government that are right.
01:53:51.460
We also know there are people that, you know, like catastrophe and, you know, swim in really
01:54:01.040
calm waters of catastrophe as they look at it, never waste it.
01:54:08.660
And as you see one fire and then another, these are not out of the normal and they're not arson.
01:54:18.580
They're not terrorist strikes and they don't seem to be affecting big plants.
01:54:24.700
And that's what you would go after are the big plants.
01:54:39.780
They were running fundraisers and it was a big deal.
01:54:41.700
I'm not saying the Australian fires a few years ago were not, but everyone was saying
01:54:46.420
that like this is global warming and look how terrible this is and the environment and
01:54:51.420
And at the end of the year, there was less square mileage burned in Australia than average
01:55:05.940
This is like when you're buying a new car, you're focused on that.
01:55:08.720
When you're worried about global warming, you're focused on that.
01:55:12.800
When you're worried about food shortages and you see things that you've not noticed before,
01:55:18.540
it's because you weren't paying attention to it that way.
01:55:22.220
How many times have we paid attention to a forest fire in Australia?
01:55:26.700
Well, we paid attention that year because the people who are running the news are talking
01:55:38.480
And I think this happens all the time with global warming.
01:55:40.860
Every time there's a moderately strange weather event that's slightly out of the ordinary.
01:55:51.380
And if you really want to know what's going to cause food shortages, it's Russia and Ukraine
01:56:00.080
That's really what is going to cause the most problems of getting food all around the world.
01:56:07.360
What about China and the COVID shutdowns that they're still kind of going through?
01:56:12.700
Have you seen the Shanghai ports, the satellite photos from 2020 and then today?
01:56:25.620
Oh, it's like you're looking at the stars in the sky.
01:56:30.720
We are headed for real, real trouble in the next, I don't even know, three to six, seven months
01:56:41.840

The New York Times has just put together your personal inflation.
01:58:52.140
Basically, the average rate is something like 8.5% is what they're saying now.
01:58:55.820
Now we know there's varying calculations of that.
01:58:59.140
But some basic questions help you figure out your own personal inflation.
01:59:07.500
I bought a new car, a used car, a new and used car, or I didn't buy a car?
01:59:13.980
So now your inflation rate went from 8.5 up to 10.1%.
01:59:23.240
I drive less than 150 miles per week, 150 to 400 miles a week, or over 400.
01:59:32.120
I usually put about 12,000 miles on a car in a year.
01:59:50.020
I typically take three or more trips a year for you, right?
02:00:22.500
It's just the only question is, do you heat your home with oil?
02:00:29.900
I typically eat out one or two days a week or several days of the week.
02:00:37.780
If you, if you, I would imagine that includes like, you know, Uber.
02:00:46.180
I might put you at three per week, but yeah, go ahead.
02:00:49.640
I mean, there is a Sonic cup by you every single day.
02:01:10.160
Now, the biggest thing for you is going to be buying a used car, which is a big deal.
02:01:13.580
But the, just the driving and it made a big deal as well, a difference as well to pop
02:01:23.960
It was a Range Rover, a Defender, one of those new Defenders.
02:01:30.140
And I think there, what, 120,000, something like that?
02:01:41.160
I thought, good work if you can't get it, dude.
02:01:46.420
You know, you're not buying a used car, selling your car now, even if you can get that money.
02:01:56.760
There's no way to just sell a car and, I mean, unless you're working at home, right?
02:02:01.440
Maybe that would be a decision you might make and take an occasional Uber.
02:02:04.920
Yeah, that would be great because, you know, then we wouldn't, we could help the planet.
02:02:09.080
If we all just sold our cars and just work from home, wow, maybe we wouldn't have an oil
02:02:19.360
We can go back to those glory days of March, 2020.
02:02:26.280
And if we're really lucky, we can go back to 1820, you know, where nobody had a car.
02:02:35.240
By the way, when I took this quiz, I had to say, no, I have not bought a car in the
02:02:38.360
past year because I ordered one nine months ago, but I don't actually have it yet.
02:02:46.340
It was 8.2% or something, which is interesting.
02:02:56.740
But again, maybe we can get to a place to where no one can really afford meat except
02:03:04.260
And if you want to have some good animal protein, have you thought about bugs?
02:03:08.700
Because they're delicious and a delicacy in certain parts of the world.
02:03:11.600
I'm surprised the New York Times didn't have that.
