00:00:04.260 You start skipping walks you used to enjoy, you're sitting a little stiffer in your chair,

00:00:08.400 you're thinking twice about simple things like tying your shoes or reaching for something on a high shelf.

00:02:11.920 Glenn Beck is on. Glenn Beck is on.

00:02:17.360 Na-na-na-na-na.

00:02:19.800 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

00:02:22.080 Na-na-na-na-na.

00:02:26.580 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:02:33.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:37.820 Glenn Beck is on.

00:02:39.180 Sarah, I am in no mood for the air raid siren today.

00:02:46.700 I know that means get your duct tape out because your head's going to explode.

00:02:51.500 My head exploded, oh, about three hours ago.

00:02:54.800 And let me just start the show with this.

00:02:57.640 Let me just start to give you the list of people who are dead to me.

00:03:01.340 Everybody in Washington, California, Oregon, Minnesota, New York, and Virginia, you're in critical condition.

00:03:09.740 Dead to me, Marxists, communists, progressives, and Canadians are added to the list today. 0.98

00:03:15.500 We just took our first big step to becoming Mexico in Texas.

00:03:21.180 Is anybody going to talk about that one?

00:03:22.860 Also dead to me, the DNC.

00:03:24.740 On life support is the RNC.

00:03:27.120 I've got them on the Lucas chest compression system, and I'm about to unplug that.

00:03:31.860 Today is not the day to listen if you're wanting the rational, reasonable, Glenn,

00:03:37.860 because I can only do that for so long, and then I've got to unload.

00:03:42.700 You don't have an ability sometimes to just vent.

00:03:49.640 Let me be your proxy today because all I want to do is vent.

00:03:54.100 And we begin with a trans shooter again, this time in Rhode Island in 60 seconds. 0.83

00:04:00.420 First, let me tell you about rush tax.

00:04:03.560 Have you ever made a tiny little mistake that ended up having massive consequences?

00:04:07.860 Yeah, it was called my first marriage.

00:04:09.860 Anyway, the kind of thing that maybe looks small at the moment,

00:04:12.220 but later you realize it triggered a chain reaction you didn't see coming.

00:04:15.980 That's exactly how tax problems happen, especially if you're a small business owner.

00:04:20.120 Suddenly, you're not just doing, you know, your taxes.

00:04:23.740 You're drowning.

00:04:24.840 The truth is tax law is not simple, and it's not static.

00:04:28.060 It changes, and small errors can become very expensive very quickly.

00:04:31.300 That's why working with professionals like Rush Tax can make a real difference.

00:04:35.500 They understand the rules, the deadlines, and the strategies that help you protect

00:04:39.020 from the kind of tiny mistakes that turn into big headaches.

00:04:43.060 When you mention my name, Rush will provide a free IRS transcript investigation.

00:04:47.200 The service other firms typically charge for $500 for just for doing it,

00:04:52.600 even without confirming that they're going to even help you.

00:04:54.860 Rush offers upfront free this service.

00:04:58.360 Plus, they'll only take your case if they know they can make a difference.

00:05:01.620 Don't wait to hope the problem will just disappear.

00:05:04.640 It won't.

00:05:05.320 Rush Tax Resolution.

00:05:06.660 Rush Tax Resolution.com.

00:05:09.000 Call 877-554-RUSH.

00:05:11.460 877-554-RUSH.

00:05:13.900 Rush Tax Resolution.com.

00:05:17.200 Oh, where do I begin?

00:05:19.000 Well, I promised I would start in Rhode Island.

00:05:23.020 Welcome to another shooter, America.

00:05:25.600 It's the gun.

00:05:26.580 It's not the gun.

00:05:28.280 It's not the gun.

00:05:29.680 Police now have identified the gunman who killed two people

00:05:34.360 and critically injured three others at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island.

00:05:38.680 It happened yesterday afternoon.

00:05:40.560 Robert Dorgan, a transgender dad who railed against anti-trans hate in family legal disputes

00:05:48.660 and deranged social media rants.

00:05:51.660 56-year-old father who shot four family members and a family friend before turning the gun on himself following the deadly rampage at the Pawtucket ice rink.

00:06:01.800 He used a female alias, but nobody was thinking he was a female except maybe him.

00:06:09.300 Roberto Esposito, Pawtucket police chief Tina Goncalves says during a press conference Monday night,

00:06:17.880 we've identified the person by birth name.

00:06:20.700 The birth name was Robert Dorgan.

00:06:22.760 How dare her mislabel. 0.51

00:06:24.640 Let me tell you first.

00:06:25.480 First, let's recognize that this man was a father who just killed his family.

00:06:35.860 Here's a statement from a daughter who wasn't killed right after the shooting.

00:06:40.960 Listen to this.

00:06:49.520 She described that shooting suspect as her father.

00:06:53.760 She came out of the police department behind me here in tears after presumably being interviewed by police. 0.62

00:07:00.980 My father was a shooter.

00:07:02.500 Probably.

00:07:03.820 What happened?

00:07:06.280 Shot.

00:07:07.620 A family.

00:07:11.000 And he's dead now.

00:07:13.240 What was the reasoning?

00:07:14.280 Was there a family argument? 0.97

00:07:15.360 He has mental health issues. 0.64

00:07:17.260 So, yes.

00:07:18.980 She goes on to describe those mental health issues a little bit more.

00:07:22.620 She says that he had been struggling with mental health for quite some time.

00:07:27.860 She said, quote, he was very sick.

00:07:31.360 Yeah.

00:07:33.120 Yeah.

00:07:33.800 You think Roberto, Roberta might have been a little sick.

00:07:37.760 You think?

00:07:39.840 I am so sick and tired of the so-called health professionals telling us how we are to behave.

00:07:47.900 Telling us what mental illness is and is not.

00:07:51.820 Telling us to never say that somebody who thinks that they were born in the wrong body,

00:07:57.320 the definition of insanity, is not insane.

00:08:01.140 That they should not even be asked a single question about it.

00:08:04.880 You're born in the wrong body. 1.00

00:08:06.360 Shut up. 1.00

00:08:06.880 Shut up. 1.00

00:08:07.320 Shut up. 1.00

00:08:07.800 We've got to help this person by mutilating them and filling them full of drugs that God only knows what it does to their mental state. 1.00

00:08:15.460 Oh, and by the way, after we do all this, it won't change their mental state at all.

00:08:19.900 In fact, it probably makes it worse because now they've done all this stuff and it hasn't changed the way they feel about anything.

00:08:27.040 And so what do they do?

00:08:27.980 They pick up a gun.

00:08:28.960 Oh, you can't say anything.

00:08:32.000 You can't say anything about that.

00:08:33.100 How dare you say that?

00:08:34.300 How dare you?

00:08:35.580 How dare you?

00:08:36.520 How dare you?

00:08:38.020 Mental health community.

00:08:39.540 You are going to be remembered as the bad guys.

00:08:43.260 You are going to be remembered forever and ever and ever.

00:08:47.980 Well, at least probably a hundred years and then we'll forget about it and we'll repeat it just like we did in 1930. 0.94

00:08:54.620 We're doing the same damn things they were doing in the 1930s. 0.59

00:08:58.960 And you know who's, you know, who's causing it? 0.97

00:09:01.380 You know where it's coming from?

00:09:02.820 Progressive ideas that have embedded themselves in medicine.

00:09:08.460 We have sick people who need help.

00:09:13.960 Let me show you a chart.

00:09:16.600 Look at the number of, look at the number of killers on the shooting graph.

00:09:21.920 Uh, these are the rates by demographic, uh, by demographic group, mass shooting rates by demographic groups.

00:09:31.100 Okay.

00:09:32.020 Four or more fatalities expresses rates per million population.

00:09:37.200 Trans non-binary is 0.718.

00:09:42.180 Asian 0.2.5 black 0.099 white 0.088 Hispanic 0.047 Native American 0.000.

00:09:56.300 Gee, one of these things is not like the other.

00:10:01.960 Which one of these has a teeny minuscule population?

00:10:09.120 Do you think, doc, maybe something's wrong?

00:10:13.040 Do you think?

00:10:14.500 Or do you just think it's the rest of society giving them a hard time that's causing all of this? 1.00

00:10:18.680 They're mentally ill. 1.00

00:10:21.620 Call a spade a spade. 1.00

00:10:24.900 So sick of it.

00:10:26.860 I'm so sick of it. 0.99

00:10:28.280 We're killing ourselves.

00:10:30.000 We are literally killing ourselves. 1.00

00:10:32.480 The Tumblr Ridge shooter, transgender. 0.93

00:10:34.780 Annunciation Catholic Church shooter, identified as trans. 0.69

00:10:38.840 Nashville Christian shooter, trans.

00:10:41.140 Lakewood Church shooter, trans.

00:10:43.000 Colorado Spring shooter, non-binary.

00:10:45.840 Denver shooter, trans.

00:10:47.440 Aberdeen shooter, trans.

00:10:48.680 Iowa high school shooter, trans activist.

00:10:51.360 Charlie Kirk's assassin, Tyler Robinson, had a furry obsession and lived with transgender boyfriend.

00:10:58.820 Trump's attempted assassin, Thomas Crooks, used the they-them pronouns,

00:11:03.360 had a deep interest in furries, and was exploring gender identity. 0.95

00:11:07.760 Do you think maybe we have a mental illness problem? 1.00

00:11:14.880 Look, America, you want to kill yourself, kill yourself. 1.00

00:11:17.400 I'm just not going with you. 1.00

00:11:18.680 We are committing suicide.

00:11:21.360 I have a list of stuff.

00:11:22.940 I've spent three hours this morning going over, trying to figure out,

00:11:27.320 what do I say to you?

00:11:30.400 What do I say to you?

00:11:31.920 What do I...

00:11:32.480 I've said all this stuff before.

00:11:34.440 I've said it over and over and over again for 30 years, I've said it.

00:11:38.040 I am so sick and tired of saying it.

00:11:39.820 I am so sick and tired of saying it.

00:11:46.780 I'm just waiting for the day common sense returns.

00:11:48.880 I'll be here waiting.

00:11:51.260 I hope it shows up before we're all dead.

00:11:58.480 Because if the medical community doesn't kill all of us, literally, look at what's happening in Canada.

00:12:05.340 And by the way, maid, it's infected the U.S. 1.00

00:12:09.480 There are 18 states ready to pass death laws.

00:12:13.480 Guess who's going to do it? 0.98

00:12:15.460 Yes, the same people who are bringing you the transgender shooters. 1.00

00:12:19.240 Our doctors and nurses will be killing kids, killing adults, killing old people. 1.00

00:12:24.560 It'll start with the old people. 1.00

00:12:25.840 But believe me, it'll get to the kids.

00:12:27.820 It already is in Canada.

00:12:29.360 It'll get to everybody.

00:12:30.380 Because you can save money.

00:12:32.280 Exactly what I told you would happen if we passed Obamacare.

00:12:37.200 Because, remember, we're only going to use the complete live system if there's an emergency.

00:12:42.920 Well, what emergency could possibly happen?

00:12:45.560 I mean, how could we have shortages with health care besides opening our borders?

00:12:50.340 Besides our Congress spending every dime we have?

00:12:54.340 I mean, what could possibly go wrong there?

00:12:57.720 Don't worry about it.

00:12:58.860 Don't worry about it.

00:12:59.900 It's just crazy Glenn saying these things.

00:13:02.000 That's just crazy.

00:13:03.360 Just crazy, right?

00:13:06.580 Anarchists, communists, socialists, Islamists all working together to destabilize the West 1.00

00:13:13.260 and destroy Israel and America. 0.86

00:13:15.280 How is that possibly going to happen?

00:13:17.400 That's not going to happen.

00:13:18.600 Oh, by the way, let's say hello to our good, good friend, Governor Gavin Newsom.

00:13:23.380 He called on Representative Randy Fine of Florida to resign over comments

00:13:27.980 the Republican made about Muslims.

00:13:30.200 What did he say? 0.99

00:13:32.120 If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one. 1.00

00:13:37.620 Oh no, he's got to resign right away. 0.92

00:13:40.660 You know what?

00:13:41.420 Not all Muslims are Islamists. 0.99

00:13:45.600 But I will pick the dogs over the Islamists every day and twice on Sunday. 1.00

00:13:53.280 I know what my dog does. 0.95

00:13:58.460 I can't talk to you about what Islamists do because that would be racists. 0.51

00:14:04.880 I don't know if you heard what this activist in New York said, but dogs are not Islam. 1.00

00:14:15.400 They're not part of Islam and they shouldn't be in the street. 1.00

00:14:18.480 You should not have them in New York City.

00:14:20.780 You should not be able to have a dog in New York City because it's not Islam. 1.00

00:14:24.320 I don't care. 0.61

00:14:25.560 And you know what?

00:14:26.160 I'd be happy to announce that every dog is a good Christian, that every dog is going to

00:14:32.160 heaven because they've accepted Jesus Christ in their hearts.

00:14:35.320 I'm not going to judge my dog.

00:14:37.660 My dog is a good Christian. 1.00

00:14:39.820 What a bunch of bullcrap. 1.00

00:14:41.460 They're not Islam. 1.00

00:14:42.920 I don't care if they're Islam. 1.00

00:14:45.800 Welcome to the West.

00:14:48.260 This is Western Judeo-Christian Western values. 0.88

00:14:54.380 We like our dogs.

00:14:56.180 Now, I don't like cats, but I don't say that no one should have cats.

00:15:01.020 You want a cat?

00:15:02.420 Have a cat.

00:15:03.740 Communists.

00:15:04.340 Have a cat.

00:15:05.100 Have all the cats you want.

00:15:06.380 I'm never coming over to your house.

00:15:07.700 I'm highly allergic to cats.

00:15:08.960 But beyond that, I'm not going to eat at anybody's house where they have a cat who can

00:15:12.500 jump on the counter. 0.56

00:15:13.660 And I don't know, God only knows what, after they put their feet in their own poop.

00:15:17.960 I don't want it up on the kitchen counter.

00:15:19.880 Thank you.

00:15:20.180 I'm not going to eat at your house.

00:15:21.560 That's my rant with cats.

00:15:22.780 But you are more than welcome to have as many cats as you want.

00:15:27.500 You love cats?

00:15:28.940 Enjoy cats.

00:15:30.040 I don't.

00:15:31.600 I don't say to you, well, you know what?

00:15:33.700 They're not really Christians. 0.98

00:15:38.000 Who do you think you are?

00:15:39.960 You're coming over to our country and you're telling us we can't have dogs? 1.00

00:15:44.460 Screw you. 1.00

00:15:45.480 I'm sick of it. 1.00

00:15:51.320 And you know what?

00:15:52.320 It's this little, it's little things like this.

00:15:55.560 You're like, ah, blow it up.

00:15:56.580 Don't say anything.

00:15:57.200 Don't make a big deal.

00:15:58.000 It's just cats.

00:15:58.740 It's just dogs.

00:16:00.420 Oh, well, they have their right to their opinion.

00:16:03.120 Yeah.

00:16:03.460 The right to your opinion is what's, that's you taking another step up to the gallows.

00:16:09.100 America, you're killing yourself because you refuse to say anything.

00:16:15.080 You're killing yourself because you refuse to stand up for what you know is right. 1.00

00:16:20.500 To hell with you. 1.00

00:16:22.140 You don't like my dog. 1.00

00:16:23.460 That's your right.

00:16:24.700 You say you want to get rid of them because it's not Islamist. 1.00

00:16:29.060 You know what?

00:16:30.280 Neither is the United States of America, nor will it ever be.

00:16:35.040 Over my dead body.

00:16:41.160 I got to take a break.

00:16:43.460 I haven't gotten started yet.

00:16:45.600 Wait until I get to Canada.

00:16:47.820 All right.

00:16:48.200 Let me tell you about Legacy Box.

00:16:49.800 We stand on the shoulders of giants.

00:16:52.600 These are people who went before us, parents and grandparents and great-grandparents who built,

00:16:56.800 sacrificed, prayed, and worked so that we could have a shot at something better.

00:17:01.960 It's only natural we want to remember them in every way that we can.

00:17:04.760 But now time is not gentle with memories or photographs.

00:17:09.400 They begin to fade over time.

00:17:10.920 All the colors, watch out the edges, curl the home movies, the VHS tapes, the film.

00:17:15.660 They begin to break down technology used to play them.

00:17:19.200 That's disappeared.

00:17:20.140 Gone forever.

00:17:21.400 Thankfully, Legacy Box takes all those old tapes and films and photos and digitizes them

00:17:25.240 so we can have them preserved, shared, and passed down without worrying that they'll

00:17:29.740 just simply vanish.

00:17:31.000 All you have to do is send your memories to them because remembering, you know, the giants

00:17:35.020 who came before us isn't just sentimental.

00:17:36.860 It's how we keep their stories alive for the generation that's standing on our shoulders.

00:17:41.520 Don't let your family story fade away on old tapes.

00:17:44.280 It's time to digitize and future-proof those priceless moments.

00:17:54.300 Let me catch my breath.

00:17:55.140 I...

00:17:56.140 I...

00:17:57.140 I, um...

00:18:24.140 Before I get to Canada, let me go to California.

00:18:36.140 Do you know that California right now is importing oil from the Bahamas because it's a loophole?

00:18:46.740 It makes, they make sure, they make sure, they're using this loophole, they go through the Bahamas.

00:18:51.080 That way they don't have to pay for American ships because if you, if you ship, you know, anything

00:18:59.260 to America, from America, you've, you've got to, you've got to use an American flagship, okay?

00:19:06.020 So they're actually, they've found a workaround, okay?

00:19:10.540 That way they don't have to pay American vessels or American workers to get their cheap gasoline.

00:19:18.620 And it's not cheap, by the way.

00:19:20.240 I just want you to know.

00:19:21.160 40% now of the gasoline in California imported in November, rooted through the Caribbean hub 0.98

00:19:26.940 because right now they're paying an average of $4.58 per gallon, the most in the country.

00:19:34.320 You know, what happens?

00:19:35.800 What happens, California, when, when you're, when your world starts to come apart, when

00:19:42.480 there's a disruption in oil at all?

00:19:45.000 And by the way, oh, that never happens.

00:19:47.680 What happens to your gas price?

00:19:49.320 You're going to be paying $10 of gas and I'm glad.

00:19:52.620 I am happy.

00:19:53.720 I feel bad for the people who are there in California are like, Glenn, I didn't vote for

00:19:58.980 any of this.

00:19:59.360 I know, but you got to get out.

00:20:01.320 You got to get out.

00:20:02.640 If you don't get out, they're going to trap your money.

00:20:04.860 They're going to do it.

00:20:06.020 They're going to just take your money. 1.00

00:20:08.620 Do you hear what happened in the Netherlands yesterday?

00:20:11.180 Netherlands just passed, what is it?

00:20:12.760 A 36% tax for unrealized gains.

00:20:16.400 You know what that means?

00:20:17.920 Well, you made money in the stock market.

00:20:19.700 Well, not really.

00:20:20.740 I mean, I haven't pulled my money out.

00:20:22.740 Well, you got to pay taxes on it anyway.

00:20:24.420 What?

00:20:24.740 I got to pay taxes on it, but it's unrealized.

00:20:27.080 It could go down tomorrow.

00:20:28.160 And then I would, I would lose money if it went down.

00:20:30.860 Yep.

00:20:31.260 But it didn't did it.

00:20:32.140 You have to pay for those unrealized gains now, but only 38%.

00:20:35.560 Well, where am I going to get 38%?

00:20:37.960 Think about this.

00:20:38.740 You have money in your 401k.

00:20:41.920 They want 38% of what you have in your 401k.

00:20:45.200 Every time it goes up.

00:20:48.080 Oh, okay.

00:20:48.960 Well, that's going to help me save for the future.

00:20:50.980 Isn't it?

00:20:53.220 This is the stuff that's coming.

00:20:55.080 It is coming.

00:20:55.980 Why?

00:20:56.920 Because this system doesn't work.

00:21:00.220 And when I say this system, I don't mean the American free market.

00:21:04.120 We haven't had a free market in this country for over a hundred years.

00:21:08.460 What you are living right now is the Woodrow Wilson nightmare.

00:21:12.900 You know, every problem I went over this list, I mean, I got a huge, huge, huge list of just

00:21:23.020 stuff I want to talk to you about today.

00:21:24.460 Every single item that we are facing in today's news is directly from progressive policies failing

00:21:32.520 over and over again.

00:21:34.020 The trans shooter, what is that?

00:21:36.320 Progressive.

00:21:37.480 Progressive saying, hey, you've got to accept people of trans.

00:21:40.480 Normal people saying, well, no, that kind of sounds like a bad idea. 0.93

00:21:44.560 That kind of sounds like you're just excusing mental illness.

00:21:47.740 How dare you say that? 0.98

00:21:48.980 That's trans. 1.00

00:21:49.880 That trans crap is all progressive values. 1.00

00:21:53.580 All progressive politicians. 1.00

00:21:55.580 All progressive thought.

00:21:56.860 And it's killing us.

00:21:59.520 Okay.

00:22:00.320 The, uh, the California $4 and 58 cents for a gallon of gasoline.

00:22:06.360 And now they're shipping it.

00:22:07.960 Now they're shipping it from the Bahamas and they're doing it in violation of law.

00:22:13.940 They're doing it, finding little loopholes so they don't have to hire Americans to do it. 0.81

00:22:20.540 Oh my gosh.

00:22:21.340 It makes me want to break out in.

00:22:23.080 Oh, Canada.

00:22:24.080 Oh my gosh.

00:22:28.020 Why is this happening, California?

00:22:29.820 Because of progressive policies.

00:22:32.880 All of your taxes.

00:22:34.180 Here's another one.

00:22:35.020 Uh, let's see.

00:22:36.720 Uh, Democrats in Maryland are going to put a surcharge on electric vehicles.

00:22:42.860 Remember the electric vehicles that you had to buy because it was the future.

00:22:47.440 Yeah.

00:22:48.040 They're going to put a, uh, a surcharge on them.

00:22:51.800 Um, so, so they can advertise, so they can advertise to people.

00:23:00.040 You should buy an EV because it's good for the planet.

00:23:03.580 Are you kidding me?

00:23:06.040 And wait until you hear what happened in, in Washington state with DoorDash.

00:23:10.320 A $12 meal is suddenly $40 because the progressive policies of making sure everybody is paid a living wage.

00:23:19.480 DoorDash.

00:23:20.240 Good luck with that.

00:23:21.920 NMLS 1-82334.

00:23:23.480 NMLS consumeraccess.org.

00:23:33.540 I haven't even begun yet.

00:23:36.280 Let me tell you about American financing.

00:23:38.880 Wouldn't it be nice if your financial belt could be a little looser?

00:23:42.320 You know, if you could sit down on the couch like you do after Thanksgiving, just loosen that belt a little bit, room to breathe.

00:23:48.120 What if you didn't have to constantly be looking, you know, at your bank account, wondering how everything is going to, you know, meet in the middle of this month?

00:23:56.460 What if your biggest bill wasn't pressing down on everything else?

00:23:59.360 For a lot of people, the biggest bill is their mortgage.

00:24:01.480 And if you haven't looked at it in a while, there's a chance that it's not structured in a way that fits your life today.

00:24:06.640 And this is where American financing comes in.

00:24:08.320 They're salaried in-house loan consultants.

00:24:10.700 Take time to review your situation and walk you through the options.

00:24:13.880 Whether that means lowering your monthly payment or consolidating high interest debt or restructuring your loan so it actually works with you instead of against you.

00:24:21.580 Sometimes financial freedom, you know, comes from making what you have work smarter.

00:24:26.720 No upfront fees to find out if you qualify.

00:24:28.820 American financing, 800-906-2440.

00:24:35.680 You heard the man.

00:24:36.820 We are not Islamifying the West.

00:24:38.860 This is our first live Torch special coming in March, and it's exclusive to Torch Insiders.

00:24:43.000 Get it today at glennbeck.com slash Torch.

00:24:58.880 You know, I saw a story about Canada and Mark Carney deciding that he wants to go and have a little, you know, just jam his tongue down the throats of all the Marxist leadership in China.

00:25:11.680 You know what?

00:25:12.640 Go do it.

00:25:13.580 Go do it.

00:25:14.500 My first response was that yesterday.

00:25:16.520 This mood started then.

00:25:18.020 Go do it, Mark Carney.

00:25:20.760 Do it.

00:25:23.040 Yes.

00:25:24.620 Reach for it.

00:25:25.900 I want you to do it.

00:25:28.000 Your journey to the dark side will be complete.

00:25:32.200 Do it.

00:25:32.920 I'm so sick and tired of countries who all we're asking for is trade balance. 0.97

00:25:42.900 Trade balance.

00:25:44.320 That's it.

00:25:45.240 You know, Canada, your last two prime ministers have loved communism.

00:25:50.620 Love it.

00:25:51.380 Love totalitarianism.

00:25:52.820 Your policies are so close to matching the Chinese system.

00:25:57.040 When we watched you arrest all of those truckers during COVID, I thought, wow, Mao, is that you?

00:26:04.840 I'm having a hard time sometimes differentiating between, you know, the Canadian policies from your government and Mao.

00:26:14.100 Oh, this is why I can't ever be president because I would have, I mean, they would have said to me yesterday, sir, stop pushing the button.

00:26:25.440 We ran out of missiles 15 minutes ago.

00:26:27.260 But I slept and so I got up this morning and I wrote a little speech that I would like President Trump to give to the Canadians and if he won't do it, I will.

00:26:40.960 I'd like the president to come on and say, my fellow Americans and to our friends and neighbors in Canada, we bear no ill will towards Canada.

00:26:49.300 We love the people of Canada, but you know what?

00:26:52.120 Your politicians are pissing us off.

00:26:54.300 For generations, we have been more than neighbors.

00:26:58.200 We've been allies.

00:26:59.000 We've been partners.

00:26:59.800 We've been friends.

00:27:01.700 Our soldiers have stood together.

00:27:03.940 Our economies have grown together.

00:27:05.760 Our families cross the same border every day in peace because for decades we have believed in the same principles, freedom, accountability, and the dignity of the individual.

00:27:16.920 But our friendship does not erase reality.

00:27:19.760 And we have reached a moment when reality demands real clarity.

00:27:27.080 Let me just say this to Canada and for the rest of the world and for everybody listening to my voice right now.

00:27:33.080 The world is changing.

00:27:35.040 The easy things we could have done 25 years ago to get off this highway to hell are long past. 0.98

00:27:44.040 All of the choices we now face suck.

00:27:47.420 But all of your assumptions of what the world's going to be like are now gone.

00:27:52.100 Nations everywhere on earth have to make hard choices about who are you?

00:27:56.940 Who are you?

00:27:57.540 What do you really believe?

00:27:59.040 And who do you want to stand beside?

00:28:00.940 And so I say this with respect, the president should say, with all seriousness, Canada, choose your partners carefully.

00:28:11.700 If you choose, and this is what he threatened yesterday, we're going to buddy up with China. 0.74

00:28:16.860 We're going to get in bed with China. 1.00

00:28:18.640 You want us to pay our fair share on tariffs and you want us to be your friend and pay for some of the things that you guys have been doing for us.

00:28:27.280 We're going to either cry or we're going to run to China.

00:28:29.320 Go ahead.

00:28:30.800 If you align yourself with Chinese Communist Party members, allowing the Chinese state-linked firms into your telecoms, your 5G, your cloud, your ports, your power grids, your satellite, your space, your sensitive minerals refining and strategic infrastructure, your intelligence systems, any of that, then the nature of our alliance has got to change. 0.84

00:28:55.940 And it has to change, not because we wanted to, but because the foundation of trust is gone.

00:29:04.300 Trust, you know, any alliance, the foundation must be trust.

00:29:07.780 And if that trust is gone, then it has consequences.

00:29:10.640 So let's talk, frankly, Canada, what your choice means.

00:29:14.240 You're going to do this?

00:29:15.180 Great.

00:29:15.420 The government in Beijing is not simply another trading partner.

00:29:20.600 It is a regime that censors speech and controls information at a national scale.

00:29:25.940 But why should you even recognize that?

00:29:28.120 It's what your leaders are already doing in Canada.

00:29:31.200 They use surveillance and technology to monitor and control its own systems.

00:29:35.960 Are you doing that yet, Canada?

00:29:37.600 Because if you're not, once you get in bed with them, you will be.

00:29:39.860 They detain and repress political and religious minorities.

00:29:43.840 Doing that yet?

00:29:45.060 You're going to be.

00:29:46.620 Punishes dissent.

00:29:48.320 Silence independent voices.

00:29:50.280 You're already doing that.

00:29:52.140 Uses economic dependence as a weapon against other nations.

00:29:56.300 Oh, you're about to feel that.

00:29:58.980 And all of these accusations, they're not, we're not saying that because we're a rival.

00:30:04.000 They're facts and realities recognized all around the world.

00:30:07.920 And America's no longer going to ignore these things.

00:30:11.480 You go ahead, go ahead, get in bed with them.

00:30:13.200 Go ahead.

00:30:14.420 We're not going to ignore it.

00:30:15.740 Neither should any nation that claims to stand for freedom.

00:30:18.000 We're telling England and the rest of Europe the same thing.

00:30:21.280 You're killing yourself and we are not going to go down that path any longer.

00:30:25.220 We were going on that path, but Canada, you need to choose your partners. 0.99

00:30:28.900 We're saying no.

00:30:30.540 We say no to the hatred.

00:30:32.840 We say no to bitterness.

00:30:35.080 We say yes to clarity.

00:30:36.960 And there's another thing that really kind of hacks a lot of Americans off.

00:30:41.860 For generations, Americans have paid an enormous price, not just in blood, but in actual dollars to prepare, to protect the free world.

00:30:51.800 We're still doing it.

00:30:53.500 Our sons and daughters fought wars oceans away so the West could live in peace.

00:30:58.360 So you could have free trade, or so they say.

00:31:03.180 So you could ship your goods to China and everywhere else without pirates.

00:31:07.960 Why?

00:31:08.460 Because the United States Navy said so.

00:31:11.760 And it was our taxpayers that funded the shield that allowed you as our allies to invest a lot less in military might so you could be more prosperous.

00:31:23.980 We paid for it.

00:31:25.440 And that protection created a dome under which, Canada, you flourished, as did Europe and, hell, the rest of the world.

00:31:35.040 And we were proud to do it.

00:31:37.160 We never asked you for anything.

00:31:39.540 But the world has changed.

00:31:41.800 You overspent, Europe overspent, and we overspent.

00:31:48.100 We hollowed out parts of our own industrial base.

00:31:51.260 We chased cheap labor and short-term gains.

00:31:54.380 And yes, everybody did it.

00:31:57.200 You did it.

00:31:57.920 Our allies did it.

00:31:58.900 And we did it.

00:31:59.720 But now the bill is finally due.

00:32:02.060 So America is just going to start recognizing reality.

00:32:07.500 And the price of admission to the next era, you got to pay for it.

00:32:12.920 So we asked for something simple, and I think fair.

00:32:15.920 If you want free trade, then let it be truly free.

00:32:19.100 Drop your tariffs on our American goods, and we'll drop ours on yours.

00:32:22.720 No tricks, no loopholes, just fairness.

00:32:24.840 That's it.

00:32:26.300 Because here's the reality.

00:32:30.120 Numbers.

00:32:30.960 Numbers.

00:32:31.400 Numbers, not slogans, are what makes the next era possible.

00:32:37.180 70% to 76% of Canada's exports go to the United States.

00:32:41.860 Do it.

00:32:43.580 More than three out of every $4 Canada earns from exports comes from access to the American market.

00:32:53.160 Dump it.

00:32:54.100 Dump it.

00:32:55.060 Walk away from it.

00:32:56.060 I want you to do it.

00:32:57.140 Your entire industrial system, your energy, your autos, your agriculture,

00:33:00.860 your manufacturing is all intertwined with ours.

00:33:03.900 In 2024 alone, trade between our nations included or exceeded $760 billion in goods,

00:33:11.700 and over $900 billion with services.

00:33:15.900 You're not going to replace that overnight.

00:33:17.640 No country can.

00:33:18.600 We won't either.

00:33:19.980 If the United States were forced to pull back, if trusts were broken, the economic shock to Canada is going to be blinding.

00:33:29.200 Your factories will slow, your investments will flee, currency pressure is going to rise.

00:33:34.800 What do you think the Canadian dollar is really worth?

00:33:38.180 Supply chains built for generations are going to fracture.

00:33:41.840 Are we going to feel the pain?

00:33:42.920 Yeah, we're going to feel the pain.

00:33:44.380 Of course we would.

00:33:45.300 Yes.

00:33:46.000 But let's be honest here.

00:33:47.200 A country of 340 million people can adjust a little faster than a country of 40 million whose largest customer is us.

00:33:56.620 The most important thing here to think about is security.

00:34:02.160 Canada, if you choose to partner with an authoritarian power in critical technologies, especially telecommunications and infrastructure,

00:34:10.620 then you can no longer participate fully in the shared defense system like NORAD.

00:34:16.860 You want to lose NORAD?

00:34:18.560 Go partner with the Chinese. 0.98

00:34:20.540 Have a blast.

00:34:22.660 Defense requires absolute trust.

00:34:25.400 The minute you start doing anything with telecommunications with China, you're out.

00:34:30.040 You have to be.

00:34:31.100 That's not even a choice for us.

00:34:32.860 It's automatic.

00:34:34.260 You do it, we're out.

00:34:36.440 And without trust, we can't protect you.

00:34:41.680 Now you might say, fine, China will protect us.

00:34:44.320 Go ahead.

00:34:45.360 Go ahead.

00:34:45.980 Perhaps they would.

00:34:47.840 History tells us protection from authoritarian powers always comes with strings attached.

00:34:52.780 You don't like our strings?

00:34:53.780 Wait until you see the chains that come with China. 0.79

00:34:58.620 Here's the thing that world needs to hear.

00:35:00.520 America's done playing games.

00:35:02.180 This is not diplomacy theater.

00:35:05.300 This is real life.

00:35:06.920 The world's about to change.

00:35:08.620 And Canada, you know, my father used to say, all right, before he disciplined me, that's going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you.

00:35:15.540 And I never really understood him.

00:35:16.880 I never believed that until as an adult, I understand exactly what he meant.

00:35:21.500 Because nobody wants to do it.

00:35:23.080 I warned you.

00:35:24.120 I don't want to do it.

00:35:25.020 This is going to kill me because it's my son.

00:35:27.420 And the same with friends.

00:35:31.340 It's going to hurt us.

00:35:33.320 It's going to hurt us emotionally.

00:35:34.760 It's going to hurt us economically.

00:35:36.280 You're our neighbors.

00:35:37.300 You're our friends.

00:35:38.120 We don't want this.

00:35:40.100 Many of us have families on both sides of that invisible line.

00:35:44.360 But you know what?

00:35:45.460 Actions have consequences, as my father used to say.

00:35:48.220 You are standing on the cliff's edge.

00:35:53.420 Now, here's what I know.

00:35:55.900 You're not going to jump.

00:35:57.800 Because you're not crazy.

00:36:00.440 Canadians are not crazy.

00:36:02.280 But I think your leaders just may be.

00:36:06.400 But I warn you, don't jump.

00:36:09.580 Don't jump.

00:36:10.600 Because this president doesn't screw around.

00:36:13.360 If you decide to jump into the arms of China, America won't be there to catch you. 0.96

00:36:22.560 Choose freedom.

00:36:24.920 Choose transparency.

00:36:26.720 Choose values that built the West.

00:36:30.140 Individual liberty.

00:36:31.620 Ethical responsibility. 1.00

00:36:33.280 The moral foundations that shaped our nations.

00:36:36.600 Because once trust is broken, rebuilding it is going to take generations.

00:36:40.960 The door is still open.

00:36:42.240 It does.

00:36:43.360 But the time for pretending choices don't really matter.

00:36:48.120 Those days are gone.

00:36:50.700 And right now, you're writing history.

00:36:54.440 Careful, Canada.

00:36:56.080 Choose your partners carefully.

00:36:58.300 For decades, the United States has carried a heavy burden in blood and treasure.

00:37:11.440 And we did it gladly to defend the free world.

00:37:17.080 Do you even understand what that means?

00:37:20.580 Hell, half of our nation doesn't even understand what that means anymore.

00:37:24.260 It's worth defending and fighting for.

00:37:27.080 And under that shield, nations, including our closest allies like you, have been able to prosper

00:37:33.880 without having to carry the military weight.

00:37:36.740 We carried it.

00:37:37.240 We carried it for the rest of the world.

00:37:39.120 It's not a complaint.

00:37:40.580 It's just the truth.

00:37:42.240 It's history.

00:37:43.020 But history is changing because it doesn't work.

00:37:47.060 I'm sorry, but the United States is facing really hard realities.

00:37:54.700 So are you.

00:37:57.360 We've all overspent.

00:37:58.880 We all hollowed out parts of our industrial base.

00:38:01.640 We learned now that prosperity requires responsibility.

00:38:07.140 And that's the price.

00:38:09.080 That's the price of admission to the next era.

00:38:11.680 So we're not asking you for any favors.

00:38:14.300 All we're asking you for is fairness and a realistic recognition of what we have brought

00:38:26.080 to the table all of these years.

00:38:29.180 Look, you want truly free trade?

00:38:31.480 Let's be free.

00:38:32.500 Let's do that.

00:38:33.040 Let's do that.

00:38:33.760 Let competition, not protectionism, decide the outcome.

00:38:38.160 But understand this.

00:38:40.980 We're done.

00:38:42.800 We are done.

00:38:45.520 Choose carefully.

00:38:47.560 Back in a minute.

00:38:52.680 Let me tell you about the burner launcher.

00:38:56.500 Sometimes, like today would be a good example, I shouldn't be carrying a gun.

00:39:02.080 Uh, having a burner launcher is a really good idea because it's not deadly.

00:39:10.600 Um, I mean, it's a good thing.

00:39:13.260 My teenagers are no longer teenagers because I might hit them with tear gas.

00:39:16.780 They come home today.

00:39:19.020 Uh, look, there's that moment when you're passing a tree line or a parked vehicle or a dimly lit

00:39:24.540 corner and you, you feel like, is there somebody that's behind there?

00:39:28.560 Uh, this is where the burner launcher comes in.

00:39:30.620 It's a non-firearm self-defense option.

00:39:32.700 The fire's powerful tear gas.

00:39:34.620 Okay.

00:39:35.240 Designed to disrupt a threat and create distance without using lethal force.

00:39:38.480 Somebody steps out from behind that tree line.

00:39:40.220 Boom.

00:39:40.540 You hit them with that.

00:39:41.520 You're fine.

00:39:42.280 Gives you an option.

00:39:43.300 You prefer something smaller, more discreet for evening walks or daily carry.

00:39:47.140 The burner compact launcher is the same non-lethal protection in a lighter, easier to carry

00:39:52.060 profile.

00:39:52.620 It's what I carry.

00:39:53.360 The goal is not to expect trouble.

00:39:55.820 It's to walk a little more confidently when the sun goes down right now.

00:42:14.880 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:20.960 What are the insiders saying today, Ricky?

00:42:23.000 This is the best Glenn I've seen in a long time.

00:42:27.500 No, it's really not.

00:42:28.680 It's not the best version of me.

00:42:30.600 This is saying exactly what I think.

00:42:32.780 And, you know, they're loving the anger.

00:42:34.660 And I think it's cathartic for them.

00:42:36.520 And it's cathartic for me.

00:42:38.340 I was curious why you started tearing up at one point.

00:42:42.460 And for those that are listening, you didn't see it.

00:42:45.120 But if you're an insider, you can go to glennbeck.com and become one.

00:42:48.580 And you can see that Glenn was personally offended by the moves that Canada was making.

00:42:54.760 I was wondering why it moved you to tears when you were also so close on the anger.

00:43:01.680 I am angry today because I love my country.

00:43:08.940 Because I love Western civilization.

00:43:11.180 Because I love Canada.

00:43:13.760 Not as much as I love my country.

00:43:16.660 But that's not all.

00:43:20.060 I hear the music coming in.

00:43:22.800 Jason, can I take a few minutes of the insider, your insider, top of the hour, and explain this fully?

00:43:29.280 Oh, they want it.

00:43:30.340 For sure.

00:45:34.700 Glenn Beck is on.

00:45:37.940 Hello, America.

00:45:39.820 I want to introduce you to somebody that I and my staff are becoming big fans of.

00:45:45.020 Her name is Judy Shelton.

00:45:46.900 She is an Independent Institute Senior Fellow.

00:45:50.020 She's the author of Good as Gold.

00:45:52.800 And she has some sway. 0.99

00:45:55.940 You know, there at the Fed and in Washington.

00:46:00.880 And she is actually offering a plan on how we could get back to the gold standard.

00:46:06.980 Next hour, I'm going to try to explain how the Fed is just destroying our money.

00:46:15.840 Just destroying our money.

00:46:17.200 And I'll explain how 2% of the target inflation is insanity.

00:46:22.740 Why do we put up with this?

00:46:24.260 Um, but Judy is here to explain, uh, gold, how, you know, how it's all working, what we

00:46:31.600 need to do, and maybe how we can have sound money again.

00:46:36.680 Uh, we'll talk to her in 60 seconds.

00:46:38.500 First, Patriot Mobile, you know, something that's actually powerful about money.

00:46:43.320 It doesn't just by service.

00:46:44.900 It sends a message, you know.

00:46:47.200 Every call that you make, every text you send, every dollar you spend is a vote for

00:46:51.120 something you believe in.

00:46:53.040 That's part of the idea behind Patriot Mobile.

00:46:55.040 They're not just a cell company or a phone company.

00:46:57.000 They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

00:47:00.120 And every portion of every dollar they earn goes to fund causes and organizations that

00:47:05.720 match the beliefs of you, the people who support them.

00:47:08.720 Things like the First Amendment freedoms, all five of them.

00:47:11.200 The Second Amendment, the sanctity of life, support for our military, veterans, first

00:47:15.900 responders, but it goes beyond writing checks.

00:47:19.100 Patriot Mobile is actively involved in defending those values, uh, showing up, speaking out and

00:47:24.980 helping support communities that are fighting for the same principles that you care about.

00:47:29.800 So when you switch your service and start paying your bill through Patriot Mobile, you're

00:47:34.100 getting not just reliable coverage and U.S.-based support, you're supporting freedom.

00:47:43.840 Beck, get a free month of service.

00:47:45.580 It's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck, 972-PATRIOT, promo code Beck.

00:47:51.240 Judy, welcome to the program. 0.95

00:47:53.580 How are you?

00:47:55.220 I'm fine.

00:47:56.180 And Glenn, I'm, I'm so honored to be with you and your listeners.

00:48:00.080 Thank you for inviting me.

00:48:01.440 Oh, well, thank you for, can we just go into a little bit of the past with you?

00:48:06.140 It's, it's 1989 and you publish a book called the coming Soviet collapse.

00:48:12.320 All the experts say, that's crazy.

00:48:14.500 That's not going to happen.

00:48:15.340 And just a few months later, the Berlin wall falls.

00:48:18.740 What did you see that everybody else was missing?

00:48:22.580 You know, I'm, I'm kind of a, um, green eye shade accountant by nature.

00:48:28.700 And I think that when I took on what was meant to be a very scholarly and probably dull project

00:48:35.900 as a postdoctoral fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, my goal was to study

00:48:42.780 the impact of Western capital on the Soviet economy, because it turned out, um, and you

00:48:50.380 had to look at CIA statistics and some other statistics from government agencies to see this,

00:48:56.420 but Western banks and Western governments were lending twice as much as any of them thought

00:49:04.360 to the Soviet government, which was really bailing out Gorbachev and all of his programs and not

00:49:12.400 causing the Soviet union to reconcile with everything it spent on a war machine.

00:49:17.860 So I looked at the, the Soviet financial statements and I really analyzed their internal budget

00:49:25.980 figures and it became apparent that it wasn't adding up.

00:49:30.620 They always showed they had a balanced budget, but in fact, they were running a huge budget

00:49:35.340 deficit and they were financing it by printing rubles.

00:49:39.580 Um, and, um, so it was in, in analyzing and then recognizing that, that I was able to say,

00:49:47.420 and it even surprised me at first that this country was going bankrupt.

00:49:52.660 So you did this in the nineties right before, you know, the, the, uh, the Asian crash.

00:49:58.940 Um, I mean, you have a way of being ahead of the curve.

00:50:03.460 Um, where are we today?

00:50:06.080 Go ahead.

00:50:06.920 Well, sorry.

00:50:08.120 I was just thinking that book actually came out in January of 1989.

00:50:13.080 And, um, by December of 1991, there was no more Soviet union.

00:50:19.600 So, uh, it is wrong to say governments can't go bankrupt.

00:50:23.580 They can.

00:50:24.680 And that goes to your question of where are we now?

00:50:27.880 Um, it's alarming that our own country is running what everyone admits is an unsustainable,

00:50:35.960 um, budget.

00:50:38.040 We, we don't even see that over 10 years, we have a plan to come close to balancing it.

00:50:45.060 And, um, and, and yet everyone says, well, this is unsustainable in the long run, but no

00:50:50.860 one ever says this is day one of the long run.

00:50:53.520 And so tell us the truth that politicians will just never say, what does this look like?

00:51:02.940 If we stay on this path, how long do we have and what happens?

00:51:08.540 Well, I, I think that it shows that you don't have faith in, in the, the future viability

00:51:16.000 of your country.

00:51:16.920 To me, it's here we are about to celebrate this year, our 250th anniversary.

00:51:23.940 And if you asked most Americans, do you think we will still be around, let alone standing

00:51:30.000 tall in 50 years in 2076?

00:51:33.720 I don't know that you would hear a strong affirmation of yes.

00:51:37.820 And I think everyone's aware and we're dealing with the fallout of, of fiscal deficit spending

00:51:45.280 every day with this dread.

00:51:47.660 We all feel from perpetual inflation.

00:51:49.920 We're never able to catch up no matter how much we're reassured that, um, wage gains are,

00:51:56.740 are helping to keep up.

00:51:58.300 Maybe for some people, yes, maybe for others, no.

00:52:01.560 And, and, and the, the problem for me is until we, we establish a beachhead that we're willing

00:52:09.760 to look this problem square in the face and demand honest government, which means an end

00:52:16.500 to deficit spending, which I consider immoral because you're allowing people to consume today,

00:52:25.000 um, goods and services that haven't even been produced yet, which is robbing the next generation.

00:52:30.840 And, uh, we just need to, to face this and say, we, we believe in honest jobs that is productive

00:52:40.180 labor that results in genuine output that increases real prosperity instead of just being told the

00:52:48.680 GDP has gone up because maybe wall street is making out financially and we can't have these

00:52:54.960 government shutdowns.

00:52:56.220 We have to have functional government and just say that we won't tolerate, um, um, massive

00:53:03.400 government at the expense of private sector growth.

00:53:07.640 And then I think we need to guarantee honest money.

00:53:11.140 So I have a very small proposal, which is just to begin to establish a link between what has long

00:53:20.200 been the constitutional money of the United States.

00:53:23.380 That is a dollar defined in terms of gold, um, as a special treasury offering for people

00:53:30.560 who want that guarantee that they could convert a treasury security to gold redeemability in the

00:53:38.040 future.

00:53:39.040 And I'm even suggesting 50 years from now, if you believe that our country will still be standing.

00:53:46.220 I have to tell you, uh, this is the only, you know, return to the gold standard, uh, idea that I have

00:53:52.660 heard, and I'm going to explain it in great detail next, next hour, but it's the only thing that I have

00:53:57.660 heard that actually would work.

00:54:00.840 Everything else would be too disruptive.

00:54:03.420 I mean, it would just cause so much pain, but this, this one allows it to, it allows us to go

00:54:09.920 back to a gold standard.

00:54:11.080 Cause we know we're going to have to pay it out in gold eventually.

00:54:14.540 Um, and you know, if people stop believing, uh, and so it, it slowly forces us back into the gold

00:54:21.540 standard, but I've heard so many people say bankers, et cetera, et cetera, say, Glenn, there's not enough

00:54:26.300 gold on the earth to be able to pay for everything that we have now.

00:54:32.280 Um, there's just not enough gold to do that.

00:54:35.460 Is that true?

00:54:36.280 And I think that's, that's very perceptive of you to see that when, when people say, oh, um,

00:54:43.840 they're for a gold standard or, or say that I'm for a gold standard, they really don't define

00:54:48.980 what they mean.

00:54:50.600 Um, it's, it's not a matter of the government having enough gold to cover even the paper money

00:54:57.580 that's out there.

00:54:58.680 Uh, the federal reserve has, has printed something like four and a half trillion in paper money.

00:55:03.820 And about 70% of that circulates outside the United States.

00:55:08.520 So our gold holdings, while they are the largest in the world, we have 261 million ounces and no

00:55:15.840 other country even comes close, um, they nevertheless, it might be worth a trillion three, but I'm

00:55:23.860 really talking about is in some ways it's symbolic, you could say, but it's also quite real because

00:55:30.240 it would be the first time for there to be an official link between the dollar and gold since

00:55:36.620 president Nixon ended the Bretton Woods system, which was based on a, um, uh, gold convertible dollar and

00:55:46.460 ended in August, 1971, it would be a way of saying for bond holders who, who are willing to lend money to the

00:55:55.400 government.

00:55:55.760 I mean, we know, as you said, our treasury markets, they need to be stable.

00:55:59.780 They need to, they need to be popular, but if you had an instrument that said to people who, who are

00:56:07.000 willing to lend money to our government, but who are maybe skeptical about losing purchasing power of

00:56:14.880 the dollar over the duration of that bond, it's a way of saying you will have a choice at maturity of

00:56:22.700 being paid out in the face value of the bond.

00:56:25.960 That's a normal treasury security, or you can receive this much gold, a pre-established amount,

00:56:34.120 and it is at your option.

00:56:37.840 And, um, I think that is a way to, to say in a way we're putting our, our money where our mouth is,

00:56:44.400 or you could say we're putting our gold where our money is.

00:56:47.560 Um, we actually have, have the gold sitting there doing nothing.

00:56:52.560 It's been doing nothing since 1971, although it is carried on the books of the treasury and on the

00:57:00.420 books of the federal reserve at a value of being worth $11 billion.

00:57:06.560 So we have a windfall profit right there.

00:57:10.120 If we were to offer this treasury instrument and specifically warehouse the gold to serve as

00:57:18.300 collateral, that would do two important things.

00:57:21.800 One, it would reassure a lot of people who don't even think the gold exists at Fort Knox.

00:57:27.240 I'm amazed that people don't even trust our government enough to believe it exists.

00:57:31.780 So I think it demands an audit.

00:57:34.160 But secondly, how do we know the next presidential administration isn't going to be even more

00:57:41.780 spendthrift and someone gets the bright idea, Oh, let's just sell that gold. 0.58

00:57:46.440 And because we haven't reconciled our budgetary dilemma, that money just goes down a rat hole

00:57:53.000 because that's what happened in the UK.

00:57:55.680 No, I want to lock it up.

00:57:58.040 I want to lock that up.

00:57:59.280 Those are the family jewels, but I want to use them as a stake to say,

00:58:04.060 we are moving our way toward sound finances and sound money.

00:58:09.720 Talking to Judy Shelton, she has a book out, Good as Gold.

00:58:14.760 It actually outlines a doable way to actually get us to a gold standard.

00:58:19.840 And I think it is the best, I mean, who am I?

00:58:23.540 But the best solution I have heard that's actually workable.

00:58:28.320 And I hope that our government actually pays attention to this because I think it's really good.

00:58:33.840 I want to talk to you about the gold in Fort Knox and also what's happening with gold and silver here in just a second.

00:58:42.040 First, give me 60 seconds and we're back.

00:58:45.160 Picture a job site, 6.30 in the morning.

00:58:47.280 Generators, they're humming, trucks are backing in, crew spread out, you know, half a framed building.

00:58:53.160 Somebody's on the roof, somebody's pouring concrete, somebody else is running materials from the trailer,

00:58:57.000 and the foreman is trying to coordinate all of it.

00:58:59.180 You can't afford confusion.

00:59:00.740 You can't afford miscommunication.

00:59:02.100 When a load, you know, is moving or a piece of equipment is swinging, everybody needs to hear the same instructions at the same time.

00:59:09.300 And that's where RAD1 from Rapid Radios makes sense.

00:59:12.960 It's rugged, ready-to-go communication device built for the real-world conditions, dust, noise, distance, movement, all of it.

00:59:19.500 You don't have to pair it with an app.

00:59:21.160 You don't have to configure a bunch of settings.

00:59:22.980 You just charge it, turn it on, and you're connected.

00:59:25.100 Designed for people who need clear, instant communication without depending on spotty cell service or crossing their fingers that a call is going to go through.

00:59:33.000 On a job site, time is money, clarity is safety, and RAD1 is built for both.

00:59:37.740 The new RAD1 is officially live.

00:59:39.520 Head on over to RapidRadios.com.

00:59:41.100 Get the radio built for real-life communication.

00:59:43.680 Real-life communication being redefined right now only at RapidRadios.com.

00:59:49.300 That's RapidRadios.com.

00:59:51.760 Ten seconds.

01:00:05.360 So we're with Judy Shelton, and she is the author of the book Good is Gold, which is a doable framework to get us back on the gold standard.

01:00:15.060 You know, the problem, Judy, that I see, you said it amazes you how many people don't believe there's gold in there.

01:00:22.920 The reason why we don't is there's not an audit.

01:00:26.100 Why doesn't our government, if there is gold there, why won't our government let actual, I mean, the queen walked in with a bunch of cameras. 1.00

01:00:35.540 Why won't we do that?

01:00:38.460 I think that President Trump has a mind to do that.

01:00:42.780 And Elon Musk has also talked about doing exactly that.

01:00:47.860 I've said it would be a public relations bonanza.

01:00:52.620 I think it could be a live television tour, and many people would want to watch.

01:01:01.280 Right.

01:01:01.760 I talked to him about it.

01:01:03.640 He was good as gold on it.

01:01:05.620 He was going for it.

01:01:06.760 And then it just stopped.

01:01:08.120 And he's like, no, we're not going to do that.

01:01:09.560 Well, I'm encouraging it.

01:01:13.920 I brought it up recently, and yes, but I think there's another aspect.

01:01:19.840 Physically, the audit has been to, in past years, to just observe that certain seals have not been broken.

01:01:29.420 But if we're talking about a physical audit, I think that's something much more profound and convincing.

01:01:38.380 But you also need to ensure that there are no encumbrances, that is, no financial contracts that in any way represent a lien against that as collateral.

01:01:49.940 Somebody told me once that rehypothecation is going to be a real problem because they believed that we have taken our gold and others' gold, and our Federal Reserve has just kind of mixed them all together and said, okay, this is for you.

01:02:07.940 You can print that.

01:02:08.680 But we're also going to use that to back up this money over here and this project over here.

01:02:14.120 And it's been used over and over and over again that if the crap ever hits the fan, we've used that gold so many times who actually owns it.

01:02:24.140 Does that make any sense to you?

01:02:26.740 Well, I think that needs to be sorted out in a convincing way.

01:02:30.620 That brings out that accounting nerd personality I referred to earlier in myself, and I think that's an extremely important task.

01:02:42.740 The Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, is considered the central bank of central banks.

01:02:50.620 And gold is still used to facilitate exchanges.

01:02:55.680 A number of countries have kept their gold for a long time in the basement of the New York Federal Reserve District Bank.

01:03:05.140 Some of them are requesting that it be returned to their own vaults, which I think is significant.

01:03:12.600 And gold has long been part of the international financial system.

01:03:17.840 Alan Greenspan, who was a legendary central banker of the world's most important central bank, our Federal Reserve,

01:03:25.680 has always said that the only truly global money is gold.

01:03:32.620 You know, I know that Trump nominated you to be on the Federal Reserve Board, which I would have been just cheering for.

01:03:39.780 And, you know, people came out of the woodwork to make sure that they torpedoed that.

01:03:45.480 How do you feel about the Federal Reserve?

01:03:47.420 And, I mean, can we start with the 2008 crash?

01:03:51.280 I mean, that just seemed like a giant bailout for the banks, and everybody else got screwed.

01:03:56.940 And we set ourselves up for worse, worse problems now.

01:04:01.740 Well, the thing is, the Federal Reserve keeps for itself enormous powers on the justification that it is in the premier position to prevent financial instability.

01:04:18.580 So, no other institution could be held more responsible for 2008.

01:04:25.720 The Fed's job is to properly calibrate the demand for money and credit to the needs of the economy.

01:04:33.720 And no one at the Fed saw that coming.

01:04:36.860 So, we end up having this debacle, and it ends up requiring bailouts, as you say.

01:04:47.080 And for me, what's bothersome is that the Fed, as a result of that, instead of being chastised, really insisted on enlarging the enormous powers that it already had.

01:05:01.260 And we saw that under Ben Bernanke as the head of the Fed, our central bank engaged in these massive programs of purchasing treasury debt and mortgage-backed securities and bringing about zero interest rates for seven years.

01:05:21.340 And I think it was just a stagnant time for the economy.

01:05:25.880 And remember, when President Trump was first running, like in 2015 and 2016, he said, I'm a developer.

01:05:37.240 Of course, I always like low interest rates.

01:05:39.740 But he said, this is so unfair for good people who are responsible and who go to the bank and save some money every week.

01:05:48.840 He said, they are getting creamed.

01:05:50.640 And I think it's this monetary favoritism that has come out of the Federal Reserve's policies that that has caused me to, I ended up being branded a gold bug as if that's kind of a bad thing.

01:06:06.940 I know.

01:06:08.220 But you have to compare to what we had under a gold standard when we had a trustworthy money unit.

01:06:17.480 Thank you very much, Judy.

01:06:19.160 I'm going to get into what she has been talking about, what her plan is here in just a little while.

01:06:23.840 Also, Mike Lee is going to join us in just a minute about Save America.

01:06:29.560 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:06:30.860 It's Rough Greens.

01:06:32.000 You know, when your dog looks at you, tail going, eyes bright, you know, ready to play, ready to protect or, you know, just be near you.

01:06:38.480 You ever stop, think how much they really rely on you because they don't pick their food.

01:06:43.140 They don't get to pick their food.

01:06:45.240 You do.

01:06:46.160 You know, they don't check the ingredient labels.

01:06:48.020 You do, you know, they don't ask whether their meals are actually supporting their health or just filling their stomach.

01:06:54.040 And most of it does.

01:06:54.900 If you're filling your dog up with kibble, it's filling their stomach.

01:06:57.920 It's getting them calories.

01:06:59.440 But the nutrients are lost along the way because it's cooked at such a high temperature to make it shelf stable.

01:07:05.340 What you need is a nutritional supplement.

01:07:07.560 You put it right on top of the food.

01:07:08.920 It's called Rough Greens.

01:07:10.140 Not a food.

01:07:11.040 It's a nutritional supplement.

01:07:12.580 It gives them all the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, all the other nutrients a dog needs in every single meal.

01:07:17.400 Add Rough Greens and see the difference in your dog.

01:07:40.800 71% of Democrats believe that there should be ID to be able to vote.

01:08:01.680 71% of Democrats.

01:08:05.180 It's in the 90s with Republicans.

01:08:07.960 Overall, it's in the 80s of approval.

01:08:10.360 It is the most popular bill ever in my lifetime.

01:08:16.040 I don't think I've ever seen anything this universally wanted, you know, to happen.

01:08:23.640 And we have this opportunity now because of the Republicans.

01:08:27.520 They have already passed it in the House.

01:08:29.620 It is going to the Senate now.

01:08:31.960 Mike Lee is joining us.

01:08:33.340 He is in the Senate process on the SAVE Act.

01:08:36.600 We are up to 47 Republican co-sponsors.

01:08:40.780 The latest one is Susan Collins, which is shocking.

01:08:45.280 What is what's next, Mike?

01:08:47.640 What do you need next?

01:08:49.740 Well, first of all, we've actually got 49 sponsors.

01:08:53.620 Susan Collins has indicated support for us.

01:08:57.040 So we're up to 50, which means we're in a position where we would survive a motion to proceed to this motion to proceed to a House pass message takes place at a simple majority vote.

01:09:08.480 J.D. Vance being available to break the tie.

01:09:11.080 And I'm still hopeful that we'll pick up a small handful of other senators along the way.

01:09:19.020 The next step after that is where it gets interesting because we don't have anything close to 60 votes at this point.

01:09:27.100 And although we'd love to pick up that many, we can't be guaranteed that we'll get there in time.

01:09:33.540 I think this is an appropriate place to restore the talking filibuster, to make senators actually speak if they want to filibuster a bill.

01:09:42.960 A filibuster has long been used since the dawn of the republic, the creation of the U.S. Senate.

01:09:47.740 It's been used as a tool by which senators have procedural rights to theoretically unlimited debate.

01:09:55.240 But throughout time, it's been understood that that requires you to actually speak because that's what the right is.

01:10:02.060 It's about speaking, about debating through speaking.

01:10:06.080 This is the Jimmy Stewart, Mr. Smith goes to Washington kind of filibuster.

01:10:11.140 That's it.

01:10:12.140 That is exactly right.

01:10:13.260 And you keep going until those who are filibustering exhaust themselves, until they are exhausted and they can't go any further.

01:10:22.100 There are some limits on it.

01:10:23.820 You can speak only twice on the same legislative matter, on the same legislative day.

01:10:29.040 We can remain in the same legislative day for weeks or even months on end.

01:10:32.980 And that has happened for prolonged periods of time in the past.

01:10:36.900 But over the last few decades, we've sort of lost that part of it.

01:10:41.200 And we have allowed senators to have the benefits of filibustering without actually going to the Senate chamber, standing up, getting recognized and speaking.

01:10:49.900 And so it's become what I refer to as the zombie filibuster.

01:10:52.940 So you have these two concepts.

01:10:54.840 You've got the zombie filibuster.

01:10:56.800 You just say, nah, I don't like that bill.

01:10:59.760 I'm going to vote against cloture.

01:11:01.680 Cloture is a vote that takes 60.

01:11:04.040 It brings debate to a close by force of will of the Senate.

01:11:08.640 So that's the zombie filibuster.

01:11:11.760 All you have to do is say, I'm not going to support cloture.

01:11:15.120 I will vote against cloture.

01:11:16.800 Or you vote against cloture when the time comes.

01:11:19.380 No speaking required.

01:11:21.340 What I believe is that we ought to, for some legislation, including and especially this one, we ought to bring back the talking filibuster.

01:11:29.260 If they want a filibuster, make them speak.

01:11:31.780 We've made it way too easy for them for way too long.

01:11:35.160 It's time to take action, especially on a bill like the Save America Act that's supported by, as you point out, about more than two out of three Democrats and more than four out of five Americans on average on the whole.

01:11:51.380 It's not that often you find a bill like this one that is that popular and is still opposed strongly by members of one party in the United States Senate.

01:12:01.000 This is a case not just of Democrats versus Republicans.

01:12:05.380 This is about Washington, D.C. versus everybody else.

01:12:08.540 But the Republicans in Washington are with the people Democrats are against them.

01:12:12.300 So why won't the Democrats, I mean, I know that it is, it's complex to do it this way.

01:12:18.300 You have to have, you know, a certain number of Republicans all there all the time to make sure that it, you know, you don't change the legislative day.

01:12:26.600 It just has to keep going.

01:12:28.020 So you need to have a quorum there.

01:12:30.520 And, you know, they have to continue to speak.

01:12:33.660 This to me is, you know, Susan Collins said, I'm not for, you know, getting rid of the filibuster.

01:12:38.020 I'm not for getting rid of the filibuster either.

01:12:39.620 I think this gives the filibuster teeth, quite honestly, you make it the way it's supposed to be made.

01:12:45.780 This is the filibuster, Glenn.

01:12:48.260 This is what the filibuster is.

01:12:50.100 So we're preserving this.

01:12:51.200 Right, I know.

01:12:51.600 By restoring the toxic filibuster.

01:12:52.540 Right, I know.

01:12:53.400 That's what it is.

01:12:54.440 Correct.

01:12:55.500 I know.

01:12:56.120 So I don't know why they say that this is going to destroy, because I think that's just a lie.

01:12:59.940 But the second thing on this is, why are the Republicans seemingly afraid to make these guys stand up in front of the American people, stop the government for possibly weeks on end, to defend something that even their own party is for?

01:13:19.420 Why wouldn't you see that as a giant win for the Republicans?

01:13:26.080 Senate Republicans should absolutely see this as a giant win, which it is, undeniably.

01:13:32.760 Look, the American people understand that we need to be fighting, and they'd be happy about this, regardless of the outcome, but especially if we won, which I believe we would.

01:13:45.060 Now, as far as why some might be reluctant, the best argument I can make is I don't think this is a close call.

01:13:54.500 I think this is a no-brainer, not just to try to pass it, but to try to pass it through this mechanism by restoring the talking filibuster.

01:14:01.620 The best argument I can make as to why somebody might be reluctant is that because this has not been done in decades like this, it's been decades since we've done it like that.

01:14:12.380 People are afraid of what they don't know, what they don't understand.

01:14:16.660 They're afraid of what is unfamiliar, and they're also not certain as to how long it might take, exactly how it might turn out.

01:14:26.700 There is no absolute, you know, a certain victory here, as there never is in any legislative endeavor or any human endeavor for that matter.

01:14:37.580 I believe we would win.

01:14:38.980 But there's guaranteed defeat.

01:14:40.360 There's guaranteed defeat the other way.

01:14:43.040 Absolute defeat.

01:14:44.740 Not a doubt in anyone's mind.

01:14:49.020 There is absolute defeat.

01:14:50.380 Now, as to why Democrats don't support this, Democrats in the Senate as opposed to Democrats among the American people who overwhelmingly support this,

01:14:58.880 I'm always a little reluctant to step into the shoes and peer into the mind of another individual.

01:15:06.080 I don't have that ability that is typically something that we associate with deity and something that we mortals can't do.

01:15:16.220 But one has to wonder, and I think it is very reasonable to ask, whether the status quo just works for them.

01:15:26.980 Works for them in a way that really ought to trouble all of us deeply.

01:15:32.620 What if they don't want to discover what if they don't want to discover what's in that box that we want to open?

01:15:38.480 What if they don't want anyone knowing the extent to which this might now be or might in the future prove to be a source of votes that they might be able to tap into?

01:15:52.620 What if this flood of illegal immigration that we have between 2021 and 2025, in which 10 or 15 million people came into the country illegally, coupled with the fact that under the NVRA of law passed in 1993,

01:16:07.780 that has subsequently been wrongly, but conclusively interpreted by the courts as prohibiting the states from taking any steps to verify citizenship when someone applies for a driver's license and under the NVRA supplied form,

01:16:23.860 checks the box and then signs their name saying, I want to register to vote and trust me, bro, I am a citizen and I'm entitled to vote in U.S. elections?

01:16:35.780 What if that's too big of a prize for them to give up?

01:16:40.520 That's what's troubling.

01:16:41.960 And that's one of the reasons why I find the Save America Act such a compelling piece of legislation and why I've been talking about it relentlessly.

01:16:51.020 So the president, I spoke to the president, I think last week about this, and I said, we've got to do everything again.

01:16:59.400 He's like, I am so on board.

01:17:01.240 We do not win another election without this.

01:17:03.740 Um, and he said, it's got to be cleaned up.

01:17:07.480 It can only be people who are citizens of this country legally that should be able to vote.

01:17:14.560 We have to have this voter ID.

01:17:16.640 He came out on Friday and said he might issue an executive order, order on voter ID, whether the Save Act is passed or not.

01:17:25.200 Have you talked to him about that?

01:17:26.720 And do you support a, uh, an executive order on this?

01:17:30.120 Well, um, I, I talked to him about this effort on countless occasions and earlier conversations.

01:17:38.320 Um, I, he, he had, he had wondered aloud whether something might be done on that.

01:17:43.720 I have not talked to him specifically about what that might look like if he were to do it.

01:17:48.700 And I'm, I'm not certain the extent to which he might have executive power.

01:17:53.220 If he's got it great.

01:17:55.320 Um, I, I, I, I'd love to have this problem fixed one way or another.

01:18:00.060 Let me tell you why, even if he does have that power and is able to issue such an order, we still need the Save America Act anyway.

01:18:07.340 Because if he issues that order, he's, um, uh, thank heaven above, thank the American people.

01:18:14.640 He's still our president for another three years.

01:18:17.220 What happens after that?

01:18:18.420 We need this in law.

01:18:20.440 We need this in statute.

01:18:22.420 And it's a lot harder, um, for a subsequent administration to undo a law than it is an executive order.

01:18:31.200 And it's also a lot harder for them to get this thing halted in court if it's not.

01:18:37.340 It's a statute that leaves no ambiguity as opposed to an executive order, which, uh, very often is fraught with litigation risks in part because some executive orders end up having to be based on authorities that are not quite as crystal clear as they need to be.

01:18:55.740 Right.

01:18:56.600 Um, John Thune is the one that's really going to be making this decision on whether we do this.

01:19:02.380 Where is he?

01:19:03.200 And what is the next step?

01:19:04.660 What can we do, Mike?

01:19:06.140 Oh, okay.

01:19:07.540 So, um, a few days ago, John Thune joined on to the Save America Act as a co-sponsor.

01:19:13.220 He is supportive of the legislation.

01:19:16.100 I have repeatedly made the case to him personally, privately, and with the rest of the Senate Republican conference, uh, including, um, uh, uh, last week for about an hour, uh, to all my Senate Republican colleagues.

01:19:32.140 About the need for the legislation and about how I think we ought to go about it by restoring the talking filibuster and how that would work.

01:19:41.260 Um, he is taking the matter under advisement and is continuing to hear from me and others that, that we think this needs to happen.

01:19:50.160 Um, so that is not yet decided, but I am godly optimistic that we will get to the right place because this is how it has to be done.

01:20:01.840 Um, all we lose, if we try, all we lose is some time, but it's what we've got on our side.

01:20:15.080 We need to have this fight, uh, in the worst case scenario, we try it and, and somehow, uh, we, we walk away and the thing falls apart.

01:20:26.080 By the way, I think the only way it falls apart is if we don't have wholehearted support, both from our own Senate Republican leadership and from our Senate Republican rank and file membership.

01:20:37.240 It would, would take, um, strong support and a commitment to work as a team on this, but you know, we, we can do hard things.

01:20:45.140 And I, I believe this would take some time somewhere between a few days and a few weeks, I think is the magic ticket.

01:20:51.760 But because this hasn't been tried in a while, we're not exactly sure how it would end or how long it would take, but we still have to do it.

01:21:00.500 When does this, aren't you guys, aren't you guys out of session this week?

01:21:05.220 When does this happen, Mike?

01:21:06.320 Yes.

01:21:06.880 Yes.

01:21:07.340 So when do you expect this to happen?

01:21:08.940 My preference was, and I had been making the case to president Trump and to leader soon that the ideal time to do it would be starting a week from tomorrow,

01:21:20.240 Wednesday, the 25th of February, I think it would have been perfect.

01:21:24.640 You know, the day after the state of the union address, what happened at the end of last week was highly disappointing where after this prolonged process, uh, and these spending bills in which the Democrats had gotten victory after victory, after victory.

01:21:43.680 And they had gotten us to maintain these ridiculous spending levels while cutting spending by a modest degree, um, small victory in and of itself, but overall spending levels were still too high.

01:21:57.080 It was still fraught with all kinds of earmarks and Democrat priorities.

01:22:00.360 Even after all that, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats said, yeah, after all that, we're still not going to vote to pass that spending package unless you remove Homeland Security funding.

01:22:12.140 So they pulled that part out and left that ride separately.

01:22:15.440 Then when we tried to keep that funded last week, uh, rather than saying, okay, you're not going to the Munich security conference, Democrats, you're going to stay here until we get this done.

01:22:26.820 We inexplicably recessed for a week.

01:22:31.100 So this put that off.

01:22:33.420 So we're, we're going to have to deal with department of Homeland security funding when we get back.

01:22:37.080 I think that was a big mistake, but I hope that, um, as soon as possible, after we figure out how to keep the department of Homeland security funded, we can turn to this bill to save America act and fix this, uh, awful vulnerability in our election security by passing it through the enforcement of the talking filibuster.

01:22:57.320 Mike, thank you very much.

01:22:59.680 Senator Mike Lee from, uh, the great state of Utah on, uh, the save America act.

01:23:04.420 Pay attention to this.

01:23:05.340 This is vital to our nation.

01:23:07.460 All right.

01:23:07.880 Let me tell you about pre-born.

01:23:09.080 You ever felt so alone and scared that you just couldn't see how anything was never going to change.

01:23:15.220 If you're lucky, the answer is no, but I felt that way, but I have not felt the way there are.

01:23:21.140 There are thousands of women all across the country right now, right now that are feeling that way, right.

01:23:27.320 Now they've just found out they're unexpectedly pregnant.

01:23:30.760 Uh, fear has a way of narrowing your vision.

01:23:33.100 It makes tomorrow feel impossible, uh, makes every option look like a dead end.

01:23:37.260 And in that state, decisions get made way too fast, way too often.

01:23:41.700 That decision usually ends in abortion. 0.99

01:23:44.100 That's why pre-born exists.

01:23:45.180 I want you to help them provide free ultrasounds for these women and it'll change their mind. 1.00

01:23:49.380 Like 60% of the time it changes their mind.

01:23:52.180 Um, dial pound two 50, say the keyword, baby. 0.89

01:23:54.880 That's pound two 50 keyword, baby, or go to preborn.com slash Beck, make a donation.

01:23:59.520 100% deductible, uh, preborn.com slash Beck pound two 50 keyword, baby Glenn Beck.

01:24:06.180 Would you do me a favor?

01:24:27.360 Would you say a quick prayer for one of our team members at M one?

01:24:32.580 Uh, one of our team members just had a baby.

01:24:37.580 His wife is going back to the hospital, massive bleeding, and we just need some divine intervention

01:24:43.720 there.

01:24:44.160 Please say a word of blessing over that wonderful family.

01:24:50.200 Um, all right, the pressure is on you and the pressure is only going to get harder because

01:24:56.300 I'm going to show you how everything that's going wrong in the world is happening right

01:24:59.540 now today because of progressive values.

01:25:02.040 We'll measure it next.

01:25:07.180 Here's something uncomfortable.

01:25:09.100 You don't always realize that you're missing things.

01:25:11.140 You just notice you're working a little harder.

01:25:12.880 You lean in a little bit more during conversations or you ask people, can you say that again?

01:25:17.440 Uh, you've then pretend you caught it the second time, even though you didn't by the

01:25:21.900 end of a long dinner or family gathering, you're worn out, not from talking, but from

01:25:25.960 straining just to keep up.

01:25:27.800 This is what gradual hearing loss feels like for a lot of people.

01:25:31.340 You're still present.

01:25:32.320 You're still engaged, but everything takes more effort than it used to.

01:25:36.180 What holds people back from doing something about it.

01:25:38.780 Isn't just pride.

01:25:39.780 It is honestly the hassle, the appointments, the tests, the follow-ups, the price tags that

01:25:44.120 make hearing feel like a major medical product.

01:25:46.580 Audion hearing is trying to make that first step a lot simpler.

01:25:50.580 Their Adam series over-the-counter hearing aids are designed to be approachable, easy to

01:25:54.740 use without prescriptions, no complications, no fittings.

01:25:59.340 You put them in, charge them, and then you're hearing better than you have in a long time

01:26:03.480 and you hear what you've been missing.

01:26:04.440 Don't wait.

01:26:55.460 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:26:58.940 America, I want to show you what is actually happening to you in a way I don't think most people are explaining or understanding.

01:27:12.560 Why is it, you know, your parents could buy a 2,000 square foot home and they could afford it and you can't?

01:27:21.160 Why? Why?

01:27:22.760 Why? Also, why? It's not just, it's not just one thing.

01:27:30.020 Why can't, why do we have not enough houses?

01:27:33.640 Because that's driving prices up too.

01:27:35.940 I'm going to explain those two things and you will understand how rigged this game is and why everybody in Europe and Donald Trump are saying this system is broken and must be changed.

01:27:48.400 First, you will understand the breakage unlike you've ever understood it in 60 seconds.

01:27:53.500 First, let me tell you about Z-Factor.

01:27:55.280 If you're somebody who walks around tired all the time, you're probably just, you know, about to kill for a good night's sleep.

01:28:02.120 You know that feeling. You wake up early, you're already exhausted, you hit the mid-afternoon wall.

01:28:07.300 By the evening, you are just running on sheer wheel power.

01:28:10.740 You might have fallen asleep when somebody was kind of a little boring and you didn't mean to and it was really uncomfortable.

01:28:15.940 You need to try Z-Factor. Boy, I hope you're not falling asleep now because that, what does that say about me?

01:28:21.480 Anyway, Z-Factor is a sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor, designed to help support a healthy sleep cycle so your body can actually do what it was built to do at night, rest, recover, and reset.

01:28:31.940 This is not about being knocked out or waking up groggy.

01:28:34.460 It is about falling asleep more naturally and waking up clear-headed, ready to function like a human being again.

01:28:39.820 When you start sleeping well, everything else gets easier.

01:28:42.600 Your focus, your mood, your patience. In other words, you start to become the best version of yourself.

01:28:47.540 I want you to try ReliefFactor.com. ReliefFactor.com. Get it?

01:28:52.020 The Z-Factor will help you sleep. Relief Factor helps reduce inflammation, but they're great products.

01:29:02.560 Okay.

01:29:05.660 Why does it feel like you can't breathe?

01:29:08.200 Every time I go into a grocery store, every time I go into a fast food place, my wife and I went to, I don't remember what, a Chick-fil-A or something.

01:29:19.340 There's two of us.

01:29:21.600 And we just order, you know, a couple sandwiches and drinks.

01:29:25.020 It was $40.

01:29:26.600 $40.

01:29:28.180 And every time, I'm shocked by it every time.

01:29:32.820 I'm like, what, $40, when did that happen?

01:29:37.580 I know it wouldn't happen, and it's been happening and happening and happening, and it keeps happening.

01:29:41.260 You're like, what?

01:29:43.840 And I think of you, honestly.

01:29:45.800 I think of people who work hard every day, play by the rules, and then, you know, you just want to stop and get some fast food, and you can't because it's crazy.

01:29:54.120 And then, what are you going to do?

01:29:55.240 You're going to go to the grocery store and buy, you know, buy food at the grocery store, which, you know, for the two of us, you know, we can spend $300, $400.

01:30:03.240 And you're like, wait, what is this?

01:30:05.580 What do you do if you're a family of five?

01:30:09.060 So, you can't seem to breathe.

01:30:12.720 And the biggest expenses in our life are the house that we live in, either the apartment or the home.

01:30:21.120 Let me start with the apartment.

01:30:22.900 Why are apartments going up in price?

01:30:25.920 Why?

01:30:27.940 You've put 15 to 25 million people into this country that were not expected, we didn't plan for, and they all need a place to live. 1.00

01:30:41.040 You have too few goods chasing too few dollars.

01:30:47.640 Okay?

01:30:48.300 So, that price is going to go up because there's not enough goods, there's not enough housing out there, not enough money, so they're going to raise prices.

01:30:57.000 So, you're going to just go over there, and you'll spend whatever you have to if you need a house.

01:31:02.200 Well, that leaves all the other people out that don't have a house, and that leaves them disenfranchised.

01:31:07.540 The other thing is, you've worked hard your whole life.

01:31:10.200 If you're 30 years old, maybe you're 40, you still don't own a house, and you know that your parents bought a house in the 1980s, and they had a 2,000-square-foot house, and it was a nice house.

01:31:24.060 Okay?

01:31:24.580 It wasn't a mansion.

01:31:25.640 It's 2,000 square feet.

01:31:26.820 It's nice, but it was theirs, and they could afford it.

01:31:30.520 You're working hard.

01:31:31.720 You have two jobs.

01:31:32.840 Why can't I afford a house?

01:31:37.200 Let me explain this one, and this one is complex, so I want to break it down in kind of a story form.

01:31:42.200 If you'll just bear with me, you're going to understand why people cannot afford a house in a way I think nobody's ever explained to you.

01:31:51.720 And it starts with the Fed and 2% inflation.

01:31:56.140 That is their, the Fed's target rate of inflation is 2%.

01:32:01.120 We haven't been at 2% in a while.

01:32:03.420 Okay?

01:32:04.440 But they're trying to get it down to their target of 2%, and that's where we've been forever, 2%.

01:32:09.700 Okay.

01:32:10.260 So let me explain this with builders.

01:32:16.180 Let's say you're a builder, and when you go to reach for your tape measure or your ruler, you need a ruler, and that ruler has to be exact.

01:32:26.560 It has to be 12 inches.

01:32:28.000 That's a foot. 0.77

01:32:28.720 Got it.

01:32:29.440 Everything has to be a foot.

01:32:31.540 Okay?

01:32:32.840 It's honest.

01:32:33.880 It's fixed.

01:32:34.760 It's regulated.

01:32:35.900 It's boring.

01:32:36.800 But what if I could convince builders and bankers and anybody else involved in the construction business to use a ruler that moves, a ruler that, uh, it shrinks by 2% every year.

01:32:55.960 Okay?

01:32:57.120 Now, 2%, that's just barely, it's barely noticeable.

01:33:00.280 You got a ruler and, you know, the first year it's a foot is a foot.

01:33:03.860 And then the next year, after the first year, it shrinks by 2%.

01:33:08.660 You're now at, what, 11.75, something like that.

01:33:12.080 Okay?

01:33:13.200 So it's not a big thing.

01:33:15.620 Everybody is still going, okay, well, you know, it's still a foot.

01:33:20.200 Everybody's calling it a foot, even though it's not a foot.

01:33:22.700 Everybody calls it a foot because it's close enough.

01:33:24.580 And every year, people go out and measure land, banks write loans, and you're buying a 2,000-square-foot home.

01:33:34.060 Well, that 2,000-square-foot home is not really 2,000-square-feet anymore.

01:33:40.700 And nobody really notices it until, you know, maybe a decade goes by because now a foot is 18% shorter than it used to be.

01:33:51.000 A 2,000-square-foot home is no longer a 2,000-square-foot home.

01:33:55.680 Just for ease, let's just say a 2,000-square-foot home, eventually it becomes a 1,500-square-foot home.

01:34:01.760 But it's still being called a 2,000-square-foot home, okay, because that's what the ruler says.

01:34:08.640 Ruler's shrunk.

01:34:09.700 Nobody's paying attention to that.

01:34:11.320 Ruler just keeps shrinking.

01:34:12.680 So now 2,000-square-feet is not 2,000-square-feet.

01:34:16.980 A brand-new home that is marked 2,000 is actually a new home that is 1,500-square-feet.

01:34:23.980 So you get in there and you're like, wow, this is a small house.

01:34:27.880 Wait, this is 2,000-square-feet?

01:34:29.900 Yes, it is.

01:34:30.560 We live in a 2,000-square-foot home now.

01:34:33.080 It doesn't seem, I mean, this seems smaller, doesn't it, honey?

01:34:35.840 I know, but it's marked 2,000-square-feet.

01:34:39.340 It's actually not.

01:34:40.680 It's not.

01:34:42.360 And then the builders, you look at the price and you're like, wow, it feels smaller.

01:34:47.520 And it's, I mean, it's not that great.

01:34:49.080 The land is a little smaller.

01:34:50.580 At least it feels like the backyard is a little smaller.

01:34:52.680 It's not.

01:34:53.160 It's the same size that you have right now, although it's not.

01:34:56.400 You know what it is?

01:34:57.240 It's just material costs, supply shortages, et cetera, et cetera.

01:35:02.100 And, you know, if you want to upgrade to a 2,000-square-foot home, you could, which a 2,000-square-foot home would now be a 2,500-square-foot house if you were using a solid measuring stick.

01:35:12.800 Okay?

01:35:14.600 So you're buying a 2,500-square-foot home if you're going to go up.

01:35:19.880 And then they'll say, well, you're buying more house.

01:35:22.200 But you're actually not.

01:35:23.580 You're actually not.

01:35:25.400 Okay?

01:35:26.340 Because using the funky ruler that they've been using, 2,500-square-foot home is actually 2,000.

01:35:32.680 So you're buying the same house for more money, and you just take it, and you sit there, and then 30 years later, all of a sudden, the ruler has shrunk by 45%.

01:35:46.800 Borrowers need bigger loans because to buy that 2,000-square-foot house is just not big enough for you anymore.

01:35:55.640 I guess.

01:35:55.900 I don't know.

01:35:56.380 How did my parents ever live in a 2,000-square-foot house?

01:35:59.580 It's not.

01:36:00.380 It's 45% smaller than it was 40 years ago or 30 years ago.

01:36:04.520 Okay?

01:36:06.280 You've got to have a bigger house.

01:36:08.060 But it's not bigger.

01:36:10.400 Does any of this make sense?

01:36:11.840 I'm trying to explain this in ways you can understand.

01:36:14.400 What you need is a real ruler, one that never changes, right?

01:36:18.600 If you have a real ruler, one that 12 inches is the same today, tomorrow, and 40 years from now, 2,000-square-foot is 2,000-square-foot.

01:36:27.600 It doesn't change.

01:36:29.200 That is the gold standard, a fixed reference point for money.

01:36:35.160 I could, in 1940, walk in.

01:36:38.200 I could have done it in 1880, 1940, and today.

01:36:41.920 I could walk in with a $20 gold piece, and I could walk into the finest men's store, and I could say,

01:36:48.420 My fine sir, I need your finest suit.

01:36:50.500 And a $20 gold piece would buy the finest suit that you could buy at the time.

01:36:55.620 1940, I could walk in with the same $20 gold piece and say, Sir, I need your finest suit.

01:37:02.060 Today, I could walk into, I don't know, Saks Fifth Avenue and say, Sir, I need your finest suit.

01:37:06.620 And it would cost me about $5,000.

01:37:09.120 It's the same $20 gold piece.

01:37:11.400 It hasn't changed.

01:37:12.920 Money has changed.

01:37:15.540 Because I could walk in in 1880 with, you know, what, a $20 bill, $20 in actual money, cash.

01:37:23.700 That would be worth pennies today.

01:37:27.340 I could walk in with the money from 1940.

01:37:29.840 Here's enough money, $20, it would have bought whatever.

01:37:33.180 It won't buy that now.

01:37:35.260 A suit costs $5,000.

01:37:37.000 You can't walk in with $20, okay, right?

01:37:40.620 Gold is the weight and measurement of money, like inches and pounds, okay?

01:37:46.720 And not because gold is magical, but because it is scarce.

01:37:50.440 You can't just conjure it out of thin air.

01:37:52.080 It's durable, it's widely recognized, it is historically resistant to political tampering.

01:37:58.740 You can't, I mean, you know, you just can't make it up.

01:38:07.560 Money is not just something you spend.

01:38:11.180 I want you to listen to this carefully.

01:38:13.680 Money is stored time.

01:38:19.140 Chew on that for a second.

01:38:20.280 Give me 60 seconds.

01:38:21.020 I'm going to come back and explain that.

01:38:22.420 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:38:25.380 Sponsor of the staff hour is American Giant.

01:38:27.980 My father left the house well before six.

01:38:32.520 You know, sometimes he would leave at three o'clock in the morning and he added to the bakery we owned.

01:38:36.800 The bread needed baking.

01:38:38.360 You know, this is the work he had chosen.

01:38:40.000 He got up long hours, a whole lot of hard work, all of it to support our family.

01:38:44.700 He was a hero.

01:38:45.720 I mean, he was not perfect, but I looked up to him because he was dedicated to doing things the right way.

01:38:50.460 He always did things the right way.

01:38:52.060 He instilled that in me.

01:38:53.460 It's a basic truth.

01:38:54.780 You work hard and you provide for your family and you do the best you can do.

01:38:59.800 You build a career and support your family.

01:39:01.540 That is the spirit of the American Giant.

01:39:04.800 They're hardworking Americans dedicated to making clothing right here in the home of the United States.

01:39:10.360 The American cotton, the American quality, every single stitch, every zipper made in factories from the Carolinas to California.

01:39:18.000 They'll make the best hoodie you've ever owned.

01:39:21.280 And I will tell you that one thing I love is my daughter has taken a couple of my sweatshirts and said, Dad, can I have this?

01:39:30.040 I want to take it with me.

01:39:30.980 And I know she's wearing them and she'll wear them forever.

01:39:32.860 And she might even pass them to her kids because it's American Giant.

01:39:36.300 They last forever.

01:39:45.980 Do it now.

01:39:46.740 10 seconds.

01:39:47.200 Okay, now I want you to understand money is not something you spend.

01:40:05.800 Money is stored time.

01:40:09.980 Let me explain.

01:40:12.620 What you did, your labor, your work from 1999.

01:40:16.700 1999 is sitting quietly in a savings account waiting to pay for 2029.

01:40:23.960 You put that there to save money so when you retire.

01:40:28.460 And when a measuring stick is stable, savings are rewarded.

01:40:33.260 Planning is possible.

01:40:34.700 Long-term thinking is rational.

01:40:36.840 Okay?

01:40:36.980 But when the measuring stick is designed to shrink every year, remember 2% inflation.

01:40:42.620 That means your dollar gets 2% smaller every year.

01:40:45.580 You are forced to be on a permanent treadmill.

01:40:49.080 This is why you can't put money underneath your bed because it's slowly burning up.

01:40:53.080 You just don't know it.

01:40:54.480 You are forced to invest it.

01:40:57.140 Listen to that.

01:40:57.740 You are forced to invest it.

01:40:59.800 You're forced to put it out at risk.

01:41:02.440 You're saving less.

01:41:03.780 You speculate more.

01:41:05.040 Because you have to find something that gives you more than 2% every year or it's not going to be worth anything.

01:41:12.160 So, you take risks you don't want to take or you wouldn't take, but you have to just to stay even.

01:41:20.500 Okay?

01:41:21.020 A society that does this, they stop building cathedral and they start flipping houses.

01:41:26.540 And that's exactly what's happening.

01:41:27.880 The key distinction that most people miss is by the late 1940s, we weren't on a simple gold standard the way people imagined it.

01:41:36.620 Okay?

01:41:37.060 I want to show you what all of this means, how Congress and the Fed are stealing from your future.

01:41:42.680 I wrote a chalkboard up today.

01:41:45.380 The Fed target is 2% inflation per year.

01:41:48.920 So, you're saving money your whole life.

01:41:52.580 And what does that give you?

01:41:54.780 You save money for 30 years.

01:41:58.240 When you hit 30 years, 55%, 55% is what you actually have.

01:42:05.500 You've lost 45% of what you had just by holding on to that money due to that one thing of inflation.

01:42:13.960 Okay?

01:42:15.360 You save it for 40 years.

01:42:17.260 You only have 45% left.

01:42:19.420 You've had a 55% loss.

01:42:22.160 50 years you've been saving for your retirement.

01:42:24.920 You've lost 63% of every dollar that you have.

01:42:30.380 63 cents on every dollar.

01:42:31.980 You only have 37 cents left for every dollar.

01:42:34.720 You did everything right.

01:42:37.660 Okay?

01:42:38.100 You hit 60 years.

01:42:39.900 You only have 25% left.

01:42:42.060 You've lost 75%.

01:42:43.680 70 years.

01:42:44.520 20% left.

01:42:45.480 80% loss.

01:42:46.760 At some point, you're like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

01:42:49.440 What is happening?

01:42:50.280 Well, okay.

01:42:53.440 Over a lifetime.

01:42:55.000 It's a 2% target inflation.

01:42:56.980 That can mean you lose roughly four-fifths of your money in purchasing power.

01:43:03.960 And the most damning part of this is moral.

01:43:07.060 It's not mathematical.

01:43:07.820 If you work, you save, you delay gratification.

01:43:11.160 You live responsibly.

01:43:12.640 A system designed around permanent inflation tells you, thanks for the discipline.

01:43:17.340 We're now going to punish you slowly enough that you won't riot.

01:43:21.020 That's what's happening.

01:43:22.920 And you're starting to feel it now.

01:43:26.620 You're starting to realize, wait a minute, my grandparents bought this at this price.

01:43:31.360 I'm buying this, and now it's how much?

01:43:33.680 How much did my parents' house worth now?

01:43:36.120 And I want to buy something just like that, but I can't afford to.

01:43:39.980 And it's not even close.

01:43:42.280 It's in a different world entirely.

01:43:44.660 That's because the Fed is targeting 2% inflation every year.

01:43:52.080 That means the government can spend more.

01:43:54.860 They can use money and do more.

01:43:57.800 Banks can do more.

01:43:59.620 But you do less.

01:44:01.420 They're punishing you.

01:44:04.700 This is why you feel the way you do.

01:44:08.000 You've introduced 15 to 25 million people into our country that weren't supposed to be here. 1.00

01:44:12.740 They are now using our hospitals, our schools.

01:44:16.100 They're now renting houses or apartment buildings.

01:44:20.080 And so when you have that, things become scarce.

01:44:24.560 Rooms in the hospital become scarce.

01:44:26.840 You're paying now for people who can't afford health insurance or don't have health insurance or just expecting to get free health insurance because they don't have any money.

01:44:36.000 And they go and use our hospitals, which means that makes it harder for you to get and more expensive for you to have medicine and to see a doctor because this system, you have to pay for it one way or another.

01:44:49.880 So you end up paying for them.

01:44:52.640 I didn't invite them in. 1.00

01:44:55.740 What a racist you are. 0.98

01:44:57.380 See how this makes you, as soon as you introduce something like that, it takes you completely off the track of what's really happening. 0.99

01:45:10.120 Well, you've got that going on.

01:45:12.340 And then also, wait a minute, you're, you're inflating our money.

01:45:15.600 You're inflating our money.

01:45:18.020 You, you, you keep spending money.

01:45:21.280 What don't you not, you don't care about kids.

01:45:23.520 You don't care. 0.99

01:45:24.160 You want to, you just want to starve kids to death.

01:45:25.920 So, you know, we, we cut a single penny from this budget and we just can't afford, I mean, you're going to starve kids.

01:45:34.180 Well, I don't want to starve kids.

01:45:35.580 That's not what it's about.

01:45:37.960 That's all a lie.

01:45:39.620 That's all of that is a lie.

01:45:41.980 This is why people in Europe, people here in America, why I delivered a tersely worded monologue to Canada earlier today.

01:45:59.220 You have to recognize this system.

01:46:04.120 This is not the free market system.

01:46:07.180 This is crony capitalism.

01:46:09.120 I don't even, I hate to even call it capitalism because it's not, this is, this is just cronyism.

01:46:16.640 All of these people have figured out a way who gets rich.

01:46:19.700 If I'm, if I'm changing the ruler, uh, and I'm building houses and I'm building smaller and smaller houses because that's what the measurements say.

01:46:29.120 But I can charge you more and more money for the same house that I built 2000 square feet.

01:46:34.660 Oh, you want one like that?

01:46:35.780 Well, it's going to be 2,500 square feet.

01:46:37.480 Who makes more money? 0.99

01:46:38.760 The builder does the bank does everybody who's involved in that system.

01:46:45.740 That's, that's what's happening with our banking system and our money.

01:46:49.500 Anybody who is involved in the making of our money, the storing of our money, the loans of our money, all of this stuff.

01:46:57.080 They're making money hand over fist and they're punishing you for it.

01:47:03.340 This is why Donald Trump is working so hard to change the system.

01:47:07.920 I've told you a long time ago, spit yourself out of the system.

01:47:11.080 This is him trying to spit us out of this system.

01:47:14.000 We must get out of this system or it will lead to riots because math is math.

01:47:20.120 And at some point people are, have had enough of math and they're like, yeah, you've been ripping me off for 40 years.

01:47:27.120 Enough is enough.

01:47:28.120 You're out.

01:47:29.260 That's what he's trying to avoid.

01:47:37.920 All right.

01:47:42.220 I'm not sure any of that made sense.

01:47:43.640 A relief factor.

01:47:44.680 I want you to imagine an evening at home with your family.

01:47:48.640 Kids are on the couch next to your wife or your husband. 0.85

01:47:52.340 Arguments about, you know, what movie to watch, you know, are finally over.

01:47:56.080 It's taken hours.

01:47:56.880 And you're in the kitchen making popcorn.

01:47:59.240 You can hear the laughter.

01:48:00.160 You can hear the preview starting.

01:48:01.320 And you know, the kids are growing up.

01:48:03.360 This moment doesn't last forever.

01:48:04.900 You treasure them.

01:48:06.320 Now I want you to imagine the same scenario, but you're distracted by your back, your pain, wherever it is.

01:48:11.940 You're shifting of the weight because your knees are aching.

01:48:14.580 You're not, you're, you're not counting the minutes now to the movie.

01:48:18.620 You're counting the minutes until you can stand up again.

01:48:21.880 You're just there.

01:48:23.720 That's what relief factor is all about.

01:48:25.700 Trying to support your body's natural response to inflammation.

01:48:28.540 So you're comfortable and you stay present for the moment that actually matters.

01:48:33.960 Over a million people have tried relief factor.

01:48:36.060 Two thirds of them have gone to try more.

01:48:38.120 Uh, they take it month after month.

01:48:39.560 I'm one of them.

01:48:40.360 Don't wait.

01:48:41.120 If you're dealing with daily pain, launch your three week quick start.

01:48:43.500 See what relief factor can do for you.

01:48:45.280 Call 800-4-RELIEF.

01:48:46.500 Go to relieffactor.com.

01:48:48.320 800, the number four relief.

01:48:50.960 The infamous chalkboard never died.

01:48:57.980 It just moved to radio.

01:48:59.160 If you want to watch Professor Beck teach and connect the dots, you need to join Torch to see it all.

01:49:03.800 Glenbeck.com slash Torch.

01:49:05.760 Join now.

01:49:06.200 Thank you so much for listening to the Glenbeck program.

01:49:23.740 Uh, and if you're watching us on Torch at Glenbeck.com slash Torch.

01:49:28.480 Thank you.

01:49:28.840 Now, apparently just spilling out into houses in 145 different countries.

01:49:34.040 Uh, so you're in one of those countries.

01:49:36.160 I don't know why you're listening, but thank you.

01:49:37.980 I appreciate it.

01:49:39.380 Um, it was, yeah, I said something a minute ago about how, you know, when people figure this out, riots happen.

01:49:48.340 And you think of the average person in America now, and you're like, riots are not going to happen because they're super polite.

01:49:54.220 And, you know, they just, they just keep their, you know, head down and just keep doing.

01:49:58.820 Yeah.

01:49:59.260 At some point, even the polite say enough is enough.

01:50:03.600 Okay.

01:50:04.340 And, and forget about the ones that you know now that are super polite.

01:50:08.360 Think about their children.

01:50:10.400 Think about the kids that are going to college or just got out of college or maybe 30 years old.

01:50:15.060 And they're realizing I can't even buy a house.

01:50:17.480 I can't do what my parents did.

01:50:19.960 Everything that I was promised is now a lie.

01:50:22.800 Uh, I mean, what, what do I, what do I do here now?

01:50:29.120 So, you know, when I said, Donald Trump is doing everything he can to change this, he's changing the world order, which is going to involve this, but also every economic indicator is headed in the right direction.

01:50:39.940 Well, except for one, every economic indicator is headed in the right direction.

01:50:44.420 The economy is getting better.

01:50:45.880 And he believes in growing the pie, growing the economy, which I'm 100% in with.

01:50:52.960 When I said there's one indicator that is not, that it's going in the wrong direction, that is government spending because government spending takes that 2% inflation target and makes it almost impossible to achieve.

01:51:07.060 So it's stealing more money out of your 401k.

01:51:10.760 And you never even, you don't even notice it.

01:51:14.020 You notice it when you go try to buy something or you try to retire.

01:51:16.780 And you're like, I don't have enough money to be able to retire.

01:51:19.860 And so, you know, I said earlier today, cause I came in in a, in a mood to say the least.

01:51:28.360 I had some things I had event.

01:51:29.840 So our number one, in case you missed it, it's an event session.

01:51:32.800 I had a lot to say when I first got here today, um, because I'm tired of it.

01:51:38.440 I'm just tired of it.

01:51:39.660 And I know you are too, but I looked at all of the news and I thought everything that is going on in the news today, uh, let me just give you some of these dogs over Muslims. 1.00

01:51:51.920 Have you heard that story yet?

01:51:54.040 Somebody in New York said, uh, you know, dogs are not Islamic and they shouldn't be allowed to be, uh, house pets in New York. 0.99

01:52:02.800 Go screw yourself. 0.99

01:52:04.440 And so, uh, Florida representative said I'd pick dogs over Muslims any day of the week. 1.00

01:52:11.120 Okay. 0.99

01:52:11.620 Not helpful, but Islamists, I would pick over dogs over Islamists every day of the week, every day, twice on Sunday, maybe four times on Monday. 1.00

01:52:22.540 Okay. 0.96

01:52:23.740 Um, that is the slow rot of our society.

01:52:30.720 That is us.

01:52:31.520 If you don't say something and stop it, you will have the Islamification of the United States of America, which is by the way, our first special on torch. 0.98

01:52:39.560 We're doing a big, big special.

01:52:41.720 March 19th.

01:52:42.720 March 19th.

01:52:43.440 It's gotta be live.

01:52:44.240 Uh, and it's going to be a big special.

01:52:46.320 You know, we used to do our Wednesday night specials.

01:52:48.080 These are now different.

01:52:49.360 They're, they're actually huge specials.

01:52:51.940 Um, with news breaking things in it, we're going to show you the Islamification of America. 0.97

01:52:58.400 Okay.

01:52:59.100 It starts with saying things like, you know, dogs have no place in New York and everybody just shut their mouth and just going along with it.

01:53:06.340 Cause eventually you'll get that.

01:53:07.840 Okay.

01:53:08.260 Now, why do we have that?

01:53:10.360 Why do we have that?

01:53:11.480 Because of progressive policies.

01:53:13.700 Why do we have the, uh, transgender shooter, uh, in Rhode Island that nobody wants to talk about? 1.00

01:53:19.000 Nobody is willing to talk about what the real problem is. 0.94

01:53:21.500 And that is mental illness.

01:53:24.520 Why? 0.99

01:53:25.060 Because of progressive policies, because we were told to shut up about Islamification. 0.99

01:53:29.960 We were told to shut up about transgenderism, even though it's mutilation of people, it is insane. 0.98

01:53:35.260 It is insanity what we're doing. 0.98

01:53:37.720 And so the medical community with all their progressive politics got in and said, nope, nope, nope.

01:53:43.120 You can't say anything about it.

01:53:44.040 And people are now shooting, you know, uh, one another that are trans way out. 1.00

01:53:50.520 I mean, you want to talk about a hockey stick, Al Gore.

01:53:52.880 There it is.

01:53:53.440 Look at the number of shooters from every other category until you get to trans. 1.00

01:53:57.240 And it's straight up.

01:53:58.640 It's straight up.

01:54:01.440 Progressive.

01:54:03.100 Uh, let's see the Dems and a DHS and ice.

01:54:08.500 Why, why are we having these, you know, Hillary Clinton said earlier this week that, uh, you know, uh, Bill, we didn't have these problems with Bill Clinton when he did it, when my husband did it or when Barack Obama did it.

01:54:19.780 Yeah.

01:54:19.940 You know why?

01:54:20.460 Cause you didn't have, you didn't have democratic politicians telling their constituents, go get them.

01:54:27.740 You didn't have, you didn't have that problem.

01:54:29.780 Okay.

01:54:30.880 You didn't have anybody in power saying, go get them.

01:54:35.220 They're Nazis. 0.78

01:54:36.540 Get them.

01:54:38.360 What do you expect after you've done that for 20 years?

01:54:40.900 Of course, you're going to have people trying to get them and call them Nazis.

01:54:44.660 You didn't have riots in the streets.

01:54:46.540 You didn't have any of this stuff.

01:54:48.040 That's why they could deport people.

01:54:50.560 And Donald Trump is having a hard time.

01:54:52.440 That's it.

01:54:53.400 Period.

01:54:54.160 It's your progressive policies.

01:54:56.040 And what you have chosen to do, the ends justify the means to get those policies through that have caused the problem.

01:55:04.140 So we have this problem, the save America act.

01:55:07.440 Why are we doing that?

01:55:08.660 Because of progressive policies.

01:55:10.460 They believe that you don't need a, um, that you don't need an ID to be able to vote.

01:55:17.160 That's insane.

01:55:17.860 Everybody in America knows that's insane.

01:55:19.760 71% of Democrats see this proves they're saying 71% of Democrats say you have to have an ID to vote.

01:55:28.420 Why are they not following the people?

01:55:30.520 Because they don't represent the people.

01:55:31.900 They represent progressive policies.

01:55:34.700 That's why that's their God that they serve.

01:55:37.760 The Netherlands just announced a 36% tax on unrealized gains.

01:55:44.480 36%.

01:55:45.400 That means you have money.

01:55:47.480 You have it in the stock market.

01:55:49.380 Every year, the government comes to you like income tax and says, okay, how much money did you make on the stock market?

01:55:54.700 Well, I don't know.

01:55:55.240 I haven't even checked my 401k in years.

01:55:57.300 I don't, I don't, I have no idea.

01:55:59.760 Because it doesn't matter until I pull it out.

01:56:02.340 This is government saying, no, no, no.

01:56:04.940 No, it matters right now.

01:56:05.860 You made that money.

01:56:06.680 Well, no, not until I sell it.

01:56:09.200 Do I have it?

01:56:10.820 Nope.

01:56:11.300 Sorry.

01:56:11.840 We get 36% of everything you made last year.

01:56:14.740 Well, are you going to give it back to me when the stock market goes down?

01:56:17.560 Of course not.

01:56:18.960 Of course not.

01:56:21.500 That's insanity.

01:56:23.400 Progressive policies.

01:56:24.600 Why do you get there?

01:56:26.000 Because of progressive policies that don't work.

01:56:28.800 And you've spent yourself into oblivion.

01:56:31.240 Now, listen, I've said this for years, man.

01:56:33.660 I got in trouble with the Republicans.

01:56:35.300 Boy, they hated me.

01:56:36.540 Right from the get-go.

01:56:37.660 Because I went to CPAC back in 2009 and I brought the chalkboard and I had John McCain sitting right in the front.

01:56:45.760 He got up and walked out because I said, let me tell you, progressivism isn't just a problem in the Democratic Party.

01:56:54.500 It's a problem in this party.

01:56:56.280 And I pointed people out.

01:56:58.580 It's that kind of policy.

01:57:00.340 It comes directly from the Republicans.

01:57:03.100 So don't think that I don't have a problem with the spending of the Republicans because the Republicans have progressive spending policies.

01:57:12.000 They don't care.

01:57:13.160 They don't care.

01:57:13.780 So why do you have to have, why is it that California is now getting fuel from the Bahamas?

01:57:22.360 Well, because they don't have any other choice.

01:57:24.660 Because of their progressive policies, the refineries are all shutting down.

01:57:28.700 So, of course, they have to buy.

01:57:29.900 They have to wait two weeks.

01:57:31.120 We can get an aircraft carrier from the East Coast of America to the Middle East faster than they can get oil or gasoline from the Bahamas to California.

01:57:43.760 Why?

01:57:44.400 Progressive policies.

01:57:46.300 You have Trendy Agua.

01:57:49.640 Dallas jury was hung yesterday.

01:57:51.680 Really bad guy.

01:57:53.020 Really bad guy.

01:57:54.060 Up for trial.

01:57:55.520 You're going to convict him of murder?

01:57:57.620 You know what?

01:57:58.580 No.

01:57:59.380 Why?

01:57:59.900 Because the jury was hung.

01:58:01.380 Why was the jury hung?

01:58:02.680 The word is some members of the jury were afraid of ramifications of coming out and putting this guy in jail.

01:58:09.760 They were afraid they were going to get a mob hit or a gang hit on their family.

01:58:16.160 Why is that even a possibility?

01:58:19.460 Progressive policies that brought all these people in.

01:58:23.380 Everything that you are facing today is a direct result of progressive policies.

01:58:29.180 DoorDash in Washington State.

01:58:31.320 DoorDash, you have a $12 order.

01:58:33.580 When it comes to your door, you know what it costs you now?

01:58:36.460 $35 to $40.

01:58:38.360 Why?

01:58:38.780 Because of progressive policies.

01:58:43.260 The cost of your EV, your electric vehicle, if you're in Maryland, is going to go up.

01:58:49.040 Why?

01:58:49.820 Because Maryland wants to start doing advertising to tell everybody you should drive an EV.

01:58:56.880 So if you drive an EV, they're going to tax you so they can run state-sponsored advertising for EVs.

01:59:05.460 And you're paying for it.

01:59:07.020 Progressive policies.

01:59:12.060 Absolutely everything that is happening in today's world is a direct result of progressive policies.

01:59:18.740 You want to stop the madness and progressive policies.

01:59:24.120 That's it.

01:59:25.100 It's that simple, America.

01:59:28.240 You make it about anything you want.

01:59:29.740 You can make it about race.

01:59:30.700 You can make it about bigotry.

01:59:31.980 You can make it about whatever, whatever.

01:59:34.540 None of that matters.

01:59:35.540 In the end, it's just, what does this policy do in the end?

01:59:40.540 And these policies have been tried over and over and over again.

01:59:44.540 And they think it just wasn't done by the right people.

01:59:47.120 But this time, they're the right people.

01:59:48.920 No, they're not.

01:59:49.580 Because it's not about people.

01:59:50.660 It's about math.

01:59:51.760 It's about human nature.

01:59:55.400 And this doesn't work.

01:59:57.160 So I would suggest today that we get off the suicide train because we're on it.

02:00:04.640 The entire Western world is on it.

02:00:06.760 And all of our enemies know it and they love it.

02:00:09.460 We are committing suicide in every way possible from, hey, let's not say anything about, you know, not having dogs because they're not Islamic, to transgenderism, to tax policies, to the Fed and the 2% inflation rate that they're trying. 0.86

02:00:31.540 Everything, everything, it's suicidal in the end.

02:00:36.440 Not going to join you.

02:00:37.500 I invite you to join me, you know, on a train that, you know, leads to prosperity.

02:00:44.340 I invite you to wake up, see what's actually happening in the world.

02:00:49.740 Don't forget about how he says things.

02:00:51.720 Look at what President Trump and his team are actually doing.

02:00:54.980 Look at what Marco Rubio actually said to Europe, because what he said to Europe is exactly what I told you just now.

02:01:02.620 Nothing else.

02:01:04.220 We love you. 0.92

02:01:05.120 We want to be a part of this, but you're, you're committing suicide and we were on that train. 0.89

02:01:10.300 We're off that train. 0.90

02:01:11.240 Now, join us.

02:01:12.380 Come the other direction.

02:01:14.980 That's what's really happening in your country.

02:01:16.780 All right, back in just a minute.

02:01:22.740 You remember when owning your own home was something new and exciting when you held the keys for the first time and it felt like freedom, you know, like something that you had built, like you had arrived.

02:01:33.760 And then somewhere along the way, it stopped feeling like that.

02:01:36.480 Maybe it was the payment.

02:01:37.320 Because the payment just became another weight and stared at you every single month.

02:01:44.540 And what once felt like an achievement started feeling like a millstone of debt you carry around your neck.

02:01:49.960 But a home is supposed to be an asset.

02:01:51.860 It's supposed to work for you, not just demand from you.

02:01:55.520 This is where American financing can help.

02:01:57.780 They're salaried in-house loan consultants.

02:02:00.040 Take a look at your current mortgage, your equity.

02:02:01.920 See if the goal's what you have, whether there's a smarter structure available, whether that means lowering your monthly payment, consolidating high interest debt, or just realizing your loan with your life today and just syncing them up.

02:02:15.160 Homeownership should feel like stability, not strain.

02:02:17.520 And sometimes all it takes to reclaim that feeling is a better plan.

02:02:20.880 There are no upfront fees.

02:02:21.920 To find out if you qualify, call American Financing at 800-906-2440.

02:02:26.180 That's 800-906-2440.

02:02:38.120 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

02:02:42.760 Glenn Beck.

02:02:51.380 Some say the bubbles in an AeroTruffle piece can take 34 seconds to melt in your mouth.

02:02:56.400 Sometimes the very amount you're stuck at the same red light.

02:02:59.080 Rich, creamy, chocolatey AeroTruffle.

02:03:02.900 Feel the Aero bubbles melt.

02:03:04.940 It's mind bubbling.

02:03:05.920 So if you're a member of The Torch, you know that you get a show within the show.

02:03:22.360 There's so much that goes on.

02:03:24.020 I mean, today you've got an awful lot extra from me that we're going to the commercial breaks and I wasn't, I didn't have time to finish or I want to say something.

02:03:32.480 And then also Justin and Jason Buttrell hosts this show within a show.

02:03:37.840 It's the Insider Show.

02:03:40.040 And a lot of interaction.

02:03:43.080 We get a lot of email and everything else.

02:03:45.720 And they kind of help direct where I'm going.

02:03:48.140 I kind of really rely on them to see, did I explain that well enough?

02:03:52.720 You know, et cetera, et cetera.

02:03:54.060 Jason, what have the insiders been saying today?

02:03:57.960 You just kicked off with your last monologue a lot of talk on buying houses, the economy in general.

02:04:04.980 I'll just go a few of these.

02:04:06.560 Loretta asked you, will the government confiscate physical gold if they go on the gold standard?

02:04:11.860 So, um, they say no, but I don't believe them.

02:04:17.680 Um, but I don't think if the, if you do it the way Judy Shelton, uh, was talking about today, they, they don't have to.

02:04:24.280 Um, I think Judy has the right way of going onto the gold standard, which is a little bit at a time. 1.00

02:04:29.440 Um, you know, you just, you make it in bonds, long-term bonds, uh, and you're really, you're, you're targeting the people that are actually buying our debt in big bulk.

02:04:42.380 And so you slowly go onto it, which is really good.

02:04:45.940 So, no.

02:04:47.300 Um, another comment, um, from small town arms, my kid bought a house and immediately lost 20% of its value.

02:04:54.180 And then Sherry, uh, followed up with, uh, more on, she, she was concerned about a 401k, 401k.

02:05:00.180 She said, how do people protect their 401k?

02:05:02.460 If you take it out, you get a huge penalty.

02:05:04.340 What's the best way to protect it?

02:05:06.580 Leave it alone.

02:05:08.880 Um, you know, that's, I mean, you know, you're, if your son bought the house, yeah, you're going to lose money.

02:05:14.740 You are going to lose money on those things.

02:05:16.860 Um, but unlike cars or any other investment that you could make, that's not really an investment.

02:05:22.040 A house is a house should appreciate with value.

02:05:25.480 You can't, you, you've got to look at these things as long-term.

02:05:29.240 This is why it's so bad with what they're doing in, what was it?

02:05:32.060 Norway.

02:05:32.880 And I said in the Netherlands where they're doing that, that, that wealth tax, they're doing a unrealized gains tax.

02:05:39.220 Your house goes up.

02:05:40.280 Can you imagine them coming to your house?

02:05:41.720 Your house goes up.

02:05:42.560 You've had it forever.

02:05:43.880 And they all of a sudden say it's worth twice is what you paid for it.

02:05:47.180 And then you've got to pay taxes on that.

02:05:49.100 What are you kidding me?

02:05:50.460 You're going to have to sell your house to do it.

02:05:53.240 It's just so immoral.

02:05:54.800 Don't worry about the loss of the gain until you sell it.

02:05:59.300 There's a, there's a, there's a, what's cool about the insider chat is there's a ton of side debates going on here.

02:06:03.760 This was another one based off of after what you were just talking about.

02:06:06.820 JR said, if any of us think the Republicans today are going to help her fix this, we are fooling ourselves.

02:06:11.920 And then Kelly asked a question specifically, does America need another Tea Party movement to fix this?

02:06:18.380 I think it's going to get another Tea Party movement, but I think this one is going to be awfully well funded by somebody like Elon Musk.

02:06:28.540 I don't know what it's going to look like, but if they drop their role on the SAVE Act, it's over for the Republicans.

02:06:34.720 I really think it'll be over for the Republicans.

02:06:37.820 And I think Donald Trump might even lead that.

02:06:40.160 I mean, he wouldn't be a bad guy to help step in and start a third party.

02:06:44.660 Glenn Beck is on!
