Transcript
00:00:17.580
Earlier today, in Israel, sirens blared and men and women and children
00:00:22.720
pulled their cars over on the highway, stopped whatever they were doing.
00:00:28.120
And they stood with their heads bowed as the entire nation of Israel came to a standstill.
00:00:37.180
This happens every year, and it is remarkable to witness.
00:00:43.080
Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, and the Knesset marked the day with the annual ceremony
00:00:52.380
Unto every person there is a name, and for two hours the Israeli lawmakers
00:00:57.160
recite the name of the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis.
00:01:03.740
Just a few short hours before Jews all over the world began this time of sorrowful remembrance,
00:01:10.160
the Prime Minister of Israel received a frantic phone call from Russia.
00:01:16.280
He was desperate to save his ally, Chemical Assad, as Trump calls him.
00:01:21.860
He apparently pleaded with Netanyahu not to get involved in this growing coalition of Western allies
00:01:30.840
He must be desperate for Vladimir Putin to call Benjamin Netanyahu to save Assad.
00:01:41.820
As of now, the list of allies rumored to include the United States, France, the UK, and even Germany.
00:01:52.780
On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Israeli Prime Minister responded defiantly.
00:01:58.720
I will never, ever allow the Iranian military to remain in Syria.
00:02:03.980
You see, this is what this is really all about, and nobody is really talking about it.
00:02:08.920
Russia has been supporting Iran for a very long time.
00:02:13.020
Iran now has overrun much of Iraq and is in Syria,
00:02:18.020
and they're trying to create a crescent-shaped state.
00:02:28.020
It's been over 70 years since the Nazis fell in Europe,
00:02:33.220
but their anti-Semitic ideology lives on in a different and possibly even more frightening form
00:02:55.760
I'll tell it to you some other time if you've missed me telling it before,
00:03:00.040
but you can figure it out just by realizing that the name Iran is Persian for Aryan.
00:03:11.000
They claim such support for Hitler's ideas that they officially declared themselves an Aryan nation.
00:03:22.540
Well, the clerical regime in Iran wants Israel wiped off the face of the map,
00:03:29.380
and they want all of the Jews dead, and that's all they're after.
00:03:33.640
And you need to understand this, and the world needs to understand this.
00:03:40.620
It just means you have to understand that this is what they're doing.
00:03:45.620
Ever since the fall of Saddam Hussein, Iran has been carving up the Middle East,
00:03:49.960
getting closer and closer to their final solution.
00:03:53.560
What's even more despicable is that the Obama administration practically rolled out the red carpet for them to do it.
00:03:59.840
The Iranian clerical regime is moving methodically towards Israel's border,
00:04:05.220
because they believe that when Israel is gone and the Jews are dead, the Messiah will come.
00:04:12.060
The world will end, and their prophet will tell them,
00:04:19.920
but you have to understand the religious nutjobs do believe this.
00:04:28.700
You don't even have to take Netanyahu's word for it.
00:04:31.340
There is a line in a speech given just a few days ago that no one, no one has reported on.
00:04:41.700
It came from the Deputy Secretary General from the Iranian Republican Guard.
00:04:46.820
Now, this is the militia operating in both Iraq and Syria.
00:04:56.020
If you're a long-term listener of the program, you know that's the 12th, the mom.
00:05:10.540
We're currently busy completing the encirclement of Israel
00:05:20.780
Have you ever heard about the Iranian involvement in both Lebanon and Syria
00:05:57.260
It kind of puts the current conflict of Syria in a completely different context.
00:06:04.920
And when you're dealing with this level of evil,
00:06:20.780
this program joins with the Jews from all over the world
00:07:55.540
the Declaration of Independence for me real quick?
01:16:42.920
usually works really well against people who are
01:17:07.160
okay now I'm safe it's you know it's one thing to
01:17:13.120
joke about arming teachers it's another thing to
01:17:18.580
to arm them with souvenir bats and think that that
01:17:23.940
is a good idea because that's not that's a joke that'll
01:17:26.800
get you killed you know what I'm saying the reality
01:17:30.680
is the organizations that train teachers know how
01:17:33.620
to survive attacks and they recommend trying to throw
01:17:37.220
books chairs and any items hand by you know that you
01:17:41.900
have handy at the attacker so give everybody a baseball
01:17:44.940
bat what do you think another reality is the typical
01:17:49.700
classrooms only have one door so students and teachers
01:17:53.360
can easily be trapped during an attack even a miniature
01:17:57.060
bat even a miniature bat may not get them to safety but
01:18:01.200
it may be better than nothing okay all right so there's two
01:18:06.180
parts of this story at least somebody's doing something
01:18:15.700
against an attacker rather than relying on just hiding in a
01:18:18.840
lockdown you know a little baseball bat is probably not the
01:18:23.720
best idea but according to a local survey the district's
01:18:27.240
residents are overwhelmingly in favor of giving guns to at least
01:18:31.840
some of the teachers and staff the problem is state of
01:18:36.340
Pennsylvania hasn't made that legal yet and the teachers
01:18:41.660
so until that happens if you have kids in school in Pennsylvania
01:18:51.240
Nolan Ryan does not walk through your child's door
01:18:55.260
it's Thursday April 12th so you're listening to the Glenn Beck program this
01:19:07.420
week there has been a lot of talk about Facebook and a lot of questions
01:19:12.920
about Facebook and the way they run their algorithms
01:19:16.680
and are they hurting conservatives the answer is yes
01:19:22.980
in May of 2016 Gizmodo reported that Facebook had purposely and routinely
01:19:27.920
suppressed conservative stories from trending news
01:19:30.640
including stories about CPAC including stories about Mitt Romney including
01:19:34.340
stories about the Lois Lerner IRS scandal including stories about Glenn Beck
01:19:39.740
in addition to that Facebook has initially shut down the Chick-fil-a
01:19:45.180
appreciation day page has blocked a post of a Fox News reporter
01:19:50.080
has blocked over two dozen Catholic pages and most recently blocked Trump
01:19:57.000
supporters Diamond and Silk's page with 1.2 million Facebook followers after
01:20:02.280
determining their content and brand were quote unsafe to the community
01:20:06.800
well they are so dangerous because I I I think they're hysterical myself
01:20:13.500
uh I'm a fan I don't always agree with them but I'm a fan
01:20:18.600
and I just wish they just weren't so dangerous building bombs or whatever it is
01:20:27.060
Diamond and Silk welcome to the program how are you
01:20:30.480
we're wonderful thank you for having us thank you for having us you're welcome
01:20:33.900
uh so what first of all let me start with just the human thing
01:20:37.900
what was it like to watch a congressional hearing and hear your name
01:20:46.480
well you know what I was smaller from ear to ear we were smaller from ear to ear
01:20:50.820
because it's like okay so you have representatives up there
01:20:54.700
just fighting for the small voices like ours so we really appreciated it
01:20:59.500
um because we thought that you know we was happy that they were bringing it
01:21:03.140
to light because this sort of thing has been going on for quite some time now
01:21:07.320
that's right um I know because I watch you know obviously internet traffic for
01:21:12.380
because of what I do and I know that um conservative voices
01:21:16.180
are being squashed they can take your uh site you have 1.2 million followers
01:21:22.640
these are people who say I want to hear I want it in my feed I want to see Diamond
01:21:28.760
and Silk when they post something right and they have changed the algorithm can
01:21:33.180
you tell me and explain to the audience what has happened to you guys
01:21:35.940
okay so what happened was back in September of 2017
01:21:39.400
we noticed there was like a pause on our page where our information and content
01:21:43.640
wouldn't come up for about eight hours we reached out to um Facebook they resolved
01:21:48.200
that particular issue and then after that we noticed a significant drop in our reach
01:21:54.020
we noticed we started getting complaints from our followers and um stating that
01:21:59.100
they was not uh receiving their notification we're not showing up in their news feed
01:22:03.900
Facebook is making them ask um answer questions they can't like and follow our page
01:22:09.180
somebody has unlike them and unfollowed them and it wasn't them
01:22:12.680
just all kind of kooky things so we've been back and forth with Facebook for about what
01:22:17.680
almost seven months now um and then finally they made the decision
01:22:21.900
on April the 5th that we our brand and content was deemed unsafe to the community
01:22:29.140
and so when you look at our brand and content our brand is us we're Diamond and Silk
01:22:34.220
two black chicks down with politics love our country very patriotic
01:22:38.800
love our president and his agenda so what are you saying so we was taken aback by it
01:22:43.920
we was offended by it appalling we just it was just appalling what was written to us
01:22:48.800
and so we said you know what they told us we couldn't appeal it
01:22:51.360
so because they told us we couldn't appeal it Silk put it out there on social media
01:22:55.620
and then it just started gaining momentum from there
01:22:58.880
Silk I'm never I never ever want to do a tour or even this radio show
01:23:04.680
I would like to see if I could hire you away from Diamond because I I
01:23:09.800
I can't get Stu to do what you do I can't get Stu to do mm-hmm
01:23:18.600
thank you for loving us thank you so much sweetie
01:23:21.100
okay so so tell me uh when you heard uh Mark Zuckerberg
01:23:26.440
say that you know no this is this is not happening
01:23:30.200
what'd you think well sad that he don't know his business he don't know the
01:23:37.960
business model and how these algorithms work these algorithms are put in place
01:23:42.920
to suppress conservative voices and I think that what he's trying to do is
01:23:47.360
turn Facebook into a political playground for Democrats and let them do
01:23:51.360
whatever they want to do while we suppress conservative voices and I know they
01:23:55.800
want to say oh it's a private entity but it's open to the public and when
01:23:59.700
you're open to the public you cannot discriminate you can't say one voice is
01:24:03.860
better than the other because there's nothing in your fine print that says this
01:24:07.400
platform is for liberals and we're only going to hear liberal point of views and
01:24:11.100
not conservative point of view that's right and not only that just you know
01:24:14.140
messing with us monetarily you know we understand that Mark Zuckerberg he's like
01:24:19.020
the American dream he's obtained the American dream well Diamond and Silk we
01:24:22.540
started from nothing and we want to also obtain the American dream but to have
01:24:26.360
someone pull the rug from underneath your feet and then take that feet and put it
01:24:29.780
on your neck and suppress you you can't make any money you you you can't build your
01:24:34.500
brand now our brand is labeled our brand is now been tarnished as unsafe to the
01:24:41.200
community like we were some type of terrorists or something what what does that
01:24:44.740
mean unsafe did did you when you when you were labeled that you called you had to
01:24:49.880
have called Facebook no we know we did call because they told us it was not
01:24:54.140
appealable we couldn't appeal it so that's why we took it to social media
01:24:57.920
because it was not appealable and we want to know the question well what is
01:25:01.900
unsafe with two black women supporting our president what's unsafe about that we
01:25:06.100
had specific questions for for them to answer because we wanted to know you know
01:25:10.640
we've been back and forth if they wouldn't have wrote it couldn't have been
01:25:13.900
appealed and maybe we would have went kept going back and forth but we've been back and
01:25:17.920
forth with these people for almost six months for six months i got it i got it six months
01:25:25.720
so so where do you go from here well you know facebook has reached out to us they reached out
01:25:34.980
to us through twitter this morning uh when we woke up and got to our little destination and
01:25:40.600
saw all our twitter and what did they say what did this what did the tweet say um oh god i gotta
01:25:45.600
get it now you now you put me on blast that's you know you paraphrase it oh gee well it's basically
01:25:51.360
that they've been trying to reach out to us but they want to talk to us so i'm glad that they that
01:25:57.420
we see now where they've reached out to us and um and then we're going to take it from there we keep
01:26:02.620
everybody updated and posted because i really want to talk to mark zuckerberg i want to sit we want
01:26:07.600
to sit down face to face and talk to him because i really want him to understand that he's not just one
01:26:13.600
point of view it's you've got several points of views and another thing it's not just our pages
01:26:18.740
it's other conservative pages that's right that's seen a significant drop in their reach and that's
01:26:23.240
not fair if you built your platform one person at a time then those people deserve to see your
01:26:28.600
content especially if they want to see it and if facebook is for all ideas being there on facebook
01:26:34.960
then no algorithm should be in place to suppress some ideas that's right so we want to talk to him
01:26:41.560
first of all face to face that's right and then you know and then he's gonna have to rectify this
01:26:46.860
he's gonna have to make this right and we're gonna have to come to the table yeah so he'll know okay
01:26:51.600
this is what you need to do because you got to make this here right i have a feeling he would rather
01:26:57.600
go another round with congress than the two of you
01:27:00.700
but we're not so we're very nice i'm a very nice humble meek being but i do not like to be branded
01:27:09.140
don't brand me you know i don't want to make anybody feel uncomfortable oftentimes people of color
01:27:14.680
always get stigmatized pull yourself up by your footsteps don't do this don't do that but how is it that
01:27:20.300
when you start pulling yourself up by your bootstraps you have someone to come along and take those straps
01:27:24.920
and think they could use them to hang you out to dry no no no no no if he can obtain the american
01:27:30.680
dream everybody else can obtain the american dream if the liberal voices can be heard then the
01:27:35.640
conservative voices need to be heard too you're going to have to even out this here playing field or
01:27:40.060
dismantle the whole facebook that's right facebook will be the face without the book and the book

an all-time classic in music history featuring the single fat um a parody of michael jackson's bat
01:30:13.480
came out 30 years ago today 30 let me say that again 30 years ago i realized the other night
01:30:22.940
that when i was growing up i'm i think i'm now older than the people that fought in world war ii
01:30:29.580
when i was growing up and they seemed really old to me and that seemed like a long time ago then
01:30:39.180
people who were my age then are now looking at me going wow you are ancient and whoa 1970 what
01:30:48.780
i mean it's weird yeah it's still it's it's you know there's a couple people now i i get this all
01:30:54.540
the time when i'm watching sports bartolo cologne who's pitching for the rangers this year svelte man
01:30:59.100
young man of 44 i believe uh is still in the league meaning that there's still someone in the league
01:31:05.840
older than me but like we're down to like two there's like one kicker in the nfl one pitcher
01:31:12.500
in major league baseball it's almost i'm up to the owners
01:31:15.740
all the loans i have left are the owners uh it's uh yeah i'll tell you i was talking to somebody the
01:31:25.640
other day when you hit your 50s you start the world just starts to look different and you realize
01:31:33.940
like i just realized the other day i got about 15 years till i'm 70
01:31:39.960
what happens pretty fast doesn't it yeah wait a minute what 15 years 15 years in reverse doesn't
01:31:50.480
even get me to 9 11 jeez i mean wait a minute hold it hold slow things down just a bit closer to 70
01:31:59.300
than you are 9 11 yeah that's craziness that's craziness man that it it goes fast fast
01:32:08.880
might as well might as well do something of value i guess you know what you get to the point to where
01:32:14.200
you're like yeah i'm not gonna argue about that yeah don't care no i'm not gonna waste my time on
01:32:20.800
that one nope i mean i've i've found myself settling and i think maybe that's either just
01:32:30.040
extreme apathy and laziness or wisdom i'm not sure which it is sometimes they're the same thing it could
01:32:38.020
be you know there's there's i think it's wisdom i'm hoping that it's wisdom but i'm getting to this
01:32:44.500
place to where it's like yeah i remember that all the sleepless nights worrying about that one
01:32:52.320
no not really it's gonna be fine but i mean listen to our one of this program today yeah oh yeah no
01:32:57.520
no there's things that are worth freaking out about but just not the stuff that i used to freak out
01:33:01.800
about but i think that's what's important right is that you know you only have a limited amount of
01:33:05.860
time you might as well spend it you know chasing things that are important you ready for this one
01:33:10.720
you know me i'm a collect no i'm not a collector i'm a hoarder if i were no no no if i were poor
01:33:16.900

01:33:26.180

01:37:54.380
pat we great reference uh will you uh will you take us to katie texas i will because it's a fun
01:38:03.900
little trip uh very surprising little get together of the school board meeting but we've been following
01:38:09.440
this for uh a week or two now and uh we were absolutely stunned katie was having a school board
01:38:16.560
meeting and one of the citizens in the district got up and spoke they were talking about bullying
01:38:23.580
and here's what happened my name is greg barrett i graduated from ksd in 1983 i started in 1975
01:38:34.000
with mr lance uh my legal name is greg gay i was bullied unbelievably bullied i started out and i had
01:38:48.200
teachers that bullied me i had kids that bullied me even the coaches i had nobody to turn to
01:38:55.460
one day at lunch i had my head shoved in the urinal where i it busted my lip i had laid on the ground
01:39:06.740
in a fetal position as the kids kicked me i got up i rinsed my face off i walked out of the lunchroom
01:39:16.560
walked straight to the principal's office and he told me these kids will grow up someday they won't
01:39:23.960
always be like this but yet here i am covered in urine from laying on the ground underneath the
01:39:31.400
urinal my lip was busted and they sent me home well i went home and i got the 45 out of my father's
01:39:42.180
drawer and put it in my mouth because at this point i had nobody nobody in the school system
01:39:49.300
to help me is is is that the way this is going to be lance you were the one that shoved my head in the
01:39:59.040
urinal oh my gosh now that is the school superintendent yeah so imagine now you're the school superintendent
01:40:07.760
and you are talking about bullying and we got to get serious on bullying and you see this guy come up
01:40:12.540
you may not recognize him you might not have seen him since 1983 but when he says his name if you were
01:40:19.040
that bully you absolutely remember when he says uh you know i was laying there and when urine while
01:40:26.660
everybody was kicking me you remember that oh i yeah even if you did it all the time and a bully like
01:40:33.340
that probably did um but you would remember that incident so no one this doesn't go you know much
01:40:41.280
further on that night later yeah later in the week they have another school board meeting and he
01:40:46.500
addresses what lance addresses here he is well i understand the perception please know my reaction
01:40:55.460
this past monday night was one of shock it wasn't one of disrespect or insensitivity i was purely shocked
01:41:07.360
uh you know to the hometown that raised me and where i now proudly serve i regret the negative attention
01:41:18.140
that's been brought to this community in the past week
01:41:33.740
i'll be judged by one person yes yes and that is god my lord and savior
01:41:43.120
that's who will judge me right but we're not talking about ultimately we're talking about your
01:41:50.320
position now as katie superintendent of public schools who's trying to fight against uh bullying
01:41:55.040
yeah who's making 375 000 now he he claims he doesn't even know this guy he claims it didn't happen
01:42:03.060
he doesn't know him two witnesses have come forth uh one is a circuit judge in alabama now
01:42:09.700
says it absolutely happened and this guy was a big bully in high school in junior high in high school
01:42:14.580
and the second uh is a is a katie resident named christopher dolan who claims he was in the bathroom
01:42:20.440
and saw it all happen and he has since apologized uh to greg gay for not intervening and trying to help
01:42:27.860
him so it's it's splitting that community in half because how the people was gone how is that possible
01:42:35.900
i know community in half how it should be pretty clear cut yeah i mean even if you
01:42:40.320
you could say well he's changed since then then he needs to step forward and say i did this my gosh
01:42:47.200
i am sorry and show the empathy that christ would show especially when you're talking about bullying
01:42:53.200
in the school district wouldn't that be the quintessential thing to do actually would be a
01:42:58.520
great way to talk about it it would hey i did these things every even the kids that are involved in
01:43:04.220
this aren't necessarily maybe even bad kids maybe they wind up being upstanding members but we need
01:43:09.140
to stop it before it starts in an unrelated issue but it ties in because it goes to his character when
01:43:15.220
he was 18 years old he after a drug and alcohol party he was speeding through a neighborhood taking
01:43:20.100
his girlfriend home and a guy who had just uh arrived home with his wife from dinner was getting
01:43:26.140
out of his car was on the driveway and yelled hey slow down so he slammed on his brakes backed up
01:43:31.580
and came over and beat the man into a five-day coma holy crap broke his ribs fractured his skull i
01:43:39.600
mean it was serious were there charges uh he was sued for it uh the suit was what they don't even
01:43:46.680
i've never seen an explanation for why it was dropped but it was dropped he come from a powerful
01:43:51.440
family uh probably probably uh and he was just a kid who felt entitled he says in 1990 he found god and
01:44:00.500
that's fine that's fine that's fine again that's not the issue look if i said to you if i said to
01:44:06.120
you hey you know i you know i'm a great guy and somebody came up and said uh you know i knew glenn
01:44:12.720
in 1985 he fired me for bringing him the wrong pen okay i know the name of that guy tom russell
01:44:20.420
okay not his real name a name i gave to him i screw people's names all the time oh really really is
01:44:27.380
that's true it's actually yeah you remember russell the love muscle was actually the name we
01:44:31.760
gave him so anyway that's actually a compliment yeah yeah so we've we've i fired people i was i picked
01:44:40.300
russell up by the tie one time and said i'm gonna eat you for effing breakfast i was not a good guy
01:44:46.820
tom and i are good friends tom's in harrisburg now and we're good friends and when i changed i made
01:44:55.200
the point of reaching out to him and saying man i'm sorry gotta be restitution right yeah you gotta
01:45:00.380
gotta go to your victims and say i am i'm sorry man i am sorry yeah i'm still named i'm still named
01:45:06.160
stew and no apologies none no not one my wife calls me stew it's not my name yeah but i'm that happened
01:45:14.700
because the friend i was with was drunk no that don't blame vinny for that it was your fault vinny was
01:45:20.700
drunk it was not it was not his fault at all you screwed it up and because he said i said who is
01:45:26.760
trying to say steve and i heard stew and i called you stew and i contend the first time i called you
01:45:36.400
stew maybe you don't say anything the third time maybe when you're working side by side every day at
01:45:44.700
some point you say you know glenn i just have to say my name my name's nuts yeah i died that happened
01:45:49.880
you told me that yes of course no that's not true anyway it's still the problem has been going on a
01:45:59.740
long time this is a problem this is a problem for katie yeah if look yeah we all have to have christian
01:46:07.580
compassion but we all have to ask for forgiveness yeah if that guy would have because i when i first saw
01:46:14.380
that second clip and he starts to cry i'm thinking this guy could pull out a gun and kill himself he
01:46:19.160
feels so bad yeah no no he doesn't and he's denying it with witnesses when you further when you hear the
01:46:26.060
first clip at the very end you hear somebody giggle and everybody says it was him and that's why he
01:46:31.800
addresses it that my reaction wasn't one of uh insensitivity i was shocked wait you giggled over
01:46:38.700
that story that was a heart-wrenching gut-wrenching story you don't giggle after that i don't i don't
01:46:46.060
care what your state of mind is and what are you shocked about if you know you're a bully
01:46:49.820
pretty good chance somebody is eventually going to mention it to you so how is especially it's that
01:46:55.820
bad is his name greg or gary what was his name his name was greg greg he goes by barrett apparently
01:47:00.320
now so so how is he doing i mean have you heard anything from him i mean i don't know he was
01:47:07.380
disgusted with the response you i would imagine he was imagine this you were told by a principal
01:47:12.580
something that you didn't believe at the time but you had to believe it was going to happen you then
01:47:19.300
see this guy go up the school board yeah and he's never been held responsible for it nobody's ever said
01:47:26.400
anything he's making 350 000 a year and he's lecturing about bullying yeah you would think
01:47:34.840
you know what i can't take it anymore i have to say something you say something and you realize
01:47:41.040
the principal was wrong he's still exactly the same how do you how do you deal with that yeah
01:47:50.440
and it's you know in a world where one word that somebody uttered 40 years ago in jest
01:47:56.880
loses somebody not just a job but their entire career and they're they're shunned almost from
01:48:04.020
society they're never around anymore you don't even see their name mentioned but all of that
01:48:09.720
and i have to tell you matter and i have to tell you not not that i want um lance to be fired i mean
01:48:15.440
that's not my position to even say that i just want lance to show some contrition whether that
01:48:23.460
means he loses his job or not doesn't to me that doesn't matter but somebody should gather around
01:48:28.540
and go you know what dude you're kind of a pariah in the community and i mean that that's pretty
01:48:32.200
hurtful and there's a lot of people here that verify some say they were there i mean dude you know
01:48:38.560
you you where's your contrition then you can embrace him it'd be a great lesson too to teach the
01:48:44.840
school district about bullying and kids yeah and kids what are you better if he went if he
01:48:50.120
weren't around to the schools in the katie system and talked about his experiences and how deeply he
01:48:55.820
regrets it now wouldn't that be a powerful thing without that the less the two of them could get
01:49:01.660
together you imagine they could go on a tour all around the country right you know look i was horrible
01:49:07.260
to this man and i that would be something else i've lived with it my whole life he brought it to
01:49:13.780
light i i confessed and i have been broken in half and now we're friends imagine how good that would
01:49:22.240
be and without that it's just the message is you can do this and there'll be no repercussions oh
01:49:27.140
there's gonna be successful there's gonna be a kid that is being kicked by a bully and a urinal
01:49:31.820
and he's gonna say and someday i'm gonna make 375 000 a year and i'm gonna keep doing it to people
01:49:39.080
like you luckily with inflation that's not gonna be anything by then so let me tell you about gold
01:49:45.820
line volatility in the stock market wild swings in bitcoin the constant turmoil in washington the
01:49:55.320
the the the possibility of real war with russia this changes everything this is why gold has come
01:50:04.600
off its best year since 2010 uh this is why gold is always a safe haven when when things go unstable
01:50:13.460
that's when gold really comes into play now i have never purchased gold as an investment although i have
01:50:19.680
made good money on gold i don't i don't buy gold as an investment i buy it as an insurance policy
01:50:26.040
it's not an all-in strategy you don't take everything and put it all into gold you spread out your risk you
01:50:31.800
have some in equities you you know you have some in gold you have some cash in the bank you might have
01:50:38.700
some property in your house or whatever it is but you spread it out so if one thing goes you don't have
01:50:44.760
everything there gold when everything else goes down gold usually goes up especially when the thing
01:50:52.660
that is going up is inflation call gold line now ask them about their program for the iras uh ask them
01:51:00.860
about their uh their gold bullion that you can get from the canadian uh mint just by calling them
01:51:06.600
they're going to give you this great copper coin it is a saint godden's copper coin it is really really
01:51:12.440
beautiful just for calling just to ask them uh 1-866-GOLDLINE 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com
01:51:24.720
glenn back welcome to the program tomorrow i want to tell you about a guy who runs a bear fund
01:51:42.420
uh in uh on wall street who says look i i thought there was going to be a melt up he said uh so i
01:51:50.840
was actually you know very bullish on the stock market for a while but uh what's happening in
01:51:54.800
syria uh and what's happening with the fed right now because of the trade wars he said i think is
01:52:00.040
very very disturbing we should probably spend a few minutes uh talking about that on tomorrow's
01:52:06.160
program we'll see you at five o'clock only on the blaze.com slash tv
