00:00:17.660 I don't know anybody like that.
00:00:19.720 All my coins were lost in a boating accident.
00:00:22.520 Anyway, the zebra can come to the rescue.
00:00:26.580 They are making home and car insurance easy for everybody.

00:00:41.140 It is the fastest way to compare every option out there.

00:00:50.400 Great way to save money right now.
00:00:52.580 The zebra dot com slash back.
00:00:55.020 See how much you're overpaying for car and home insurance, which I'm glad I have because I had a nice rain shower in my house yesterday.
00:01:05.740 It was great.
00:01:07.700 That was not something you really wanted.
00:01:10.280 If those people that install those windows aren't at my house today, I might share their name.
00:01:15.060 Got no room to compromise.
00:01:39.500 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:04.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:09.720 Hello, America.
00:02:13.240 So Friday, this last Friday, the Department of Homeland Security came out and declared white supremacists and domestic violence extremism the most prominent threat facing our country.
00:02:29.600 Oh, my goodness.
00:02:31.600 Oh, my goodness.
00:02:32.580 And that's what was on full display in New York yesterday.
00:02:37.500 It was.
00:02:39.160 Well, they were a race supremacist.
00:02:41.460 I'll tell you that right now.
00:02:42.920 They were also crazy.
00:02:45.440 And they were also on a watch list from the FBI.
00:02:50.200 Oh, too bad.
00:02:51.360 They weren't watching for black supremacists.
00:02:55.000 We start there in 60 seconds.
00:02:59.380 All right.
00:03:01.460 Now, it might sound crazy to say this, but you have to be as passionate as the left is about shaping the way your children think.
00:03:11.380 In fact, you have to be more passionate about it.
00:03:13.460 And you don't have all the tools and the labor unions and everybody else helping you out.
00:03:19.520 You have to kind of do it on your own.
00:03:21.660 And if you don't teach things to your kids, nature abhors a vacuum.
00:03:27.480 If they don't really have a solid foundation, they are not going to they're not just going to buy into the things that you bought into.
00:03:35.560 In fact, they'll probably reject them.
00:03:38.300 And that's why that's why I want to tell you right now about where's the book.
00:03:43.800 Here it is.
00:03:44.360 This book from the Tuttle Twins.
00:03:46.840 The Tuttle Twins is that's a series of books.
00:03:50.120 But this one in particular is so important.
00:03:53.240 If you don't buy all the rest of the Tuttle Twins books, that's fine.
00:03:56.420 Just get this one.
00:03:57.480 And I've I've asked them to offer it for free.
00:04:00.240 All you have to do is pay for shipping.
00:04:03.640 It's the Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island.
00:04:06.780 The Creature from Jekyll Island is the Federal Reserve.
00:04:11.960 If you want to know how inflation happens, it's not Vladimir Putin.
00:04:18.300 No, it's not.
00:04:20.280 It's the Federal Reserve and the government spending too much money.
00:04:24.720 That's what it is.
00:04:26.600 But you need to learn what it is, what the Fed is and how to beat inflation.
00:04:32.980 Get this book for free.
00:04:34.320 It is crucial for families right now.
00:04:36.140 Go to TuttleTwinsBeck.com
00:04:37.840 TuttleTwinsBeck.com
00:04:39.800 All right.
00:04:41.520 So last Friday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas declared,
00:04:48.160 that's not Alejandro Mayorkas.
00:04:53.900 I got to be able to do that.
00:04:55.360 Pat can really do that well.
00:04:57.080 You know, when you're watching TV and somebody who is as white as I am and then Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas declared white supremacist and domestic violence extremism to be the most prominent threat currently facing our country.
00:05:15.000 The timing couldn't have been more perfect because.
00:05:17.760 Because just a few hours later, a jury in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
00:05:23.360 Exposed the Justice Department's largest alleged domestic terrorism case in the last 18 months as a failed FBI entrapment scheme designed to smear conservatives as white supremacists ahead of the 2020 election.
00:05:42.260 This article is from the the Federalist, I think.
00:05:48.760 Yes, the Federalist by refusing to convict four men accused of plotting to kidnap and kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
00:05:57.100 Before Election Day, the Grand Rapids jury seemed to side with the defense attorneys who argued their clients were not domestic terrorists, but entrapped by undercover FBI agents and at least a dozen informants who planned and funded the kidnapping operation.
00:06:13.380 The key to the government's plan was to turn general discontent with Governor Whitmer's COVID-19 restrictions into a crime that could be prosecuted.
00:06:22.340 Defense lawyers wrote the government picked what it knew would be a sensational charge conspiracy to kidnap the governor.
00:06:30.540 And when the government was faced with evidence showing that the defendants had no interest in the kidnapping plot, it refused to accept failure and continued to push its plan.
00:06:40.020 Now, what's interesting about this is the guy who was overseeing this particular operation has been transferred.
00:06:47.120 He was transferred to Washington, D.C., given a promotion, and he's the guy overseeing the January 6th plot.
00:06:56.260 OK, so the FBI is very, very, very busy because they know white supremacists.
00:07:03.620 That's what is coming for everybody.
00:07:06.180 OK, be careful.
00:07:07.720 You may not be white enough.
00:07:09.000 OK, because I hear it's an albino mob.
00:07:14.640 OK, and the first sign, that's why I'm wearing pink contacts right now.
00:07:18.760 First sign, you're not really an albino.
00:07:21.780 Oh, they they burn up.
00:07:25.040 It's not it's like a hexagon in your front yard.
00:07:29.360 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:31.220 They're I don't know what the hexagon has to do, but it's not a cross.
00:07:35.700 It's another symbol for not being albino, the hexagon.
00:07:41.560 Anyway, so the FBI is looking for these crazy white, white, white, white, white, really white, almost pinkish white extremists.
00:07:52.380 And that may be why they missed Frank R. James.
00:07:58.560 Now, Frank R. James.
00:08:01.120 Not an albino.
00:08:04.420 He's, quote, a troubled man who railed against Mayor Adams and made bizarre, threatening rants on YouTube.
00:08:14.340 Huh?
00:08:15.280 So YouTube, he had a page on YouTube.
00:08:18.900 Where he was saying crazy things like did you because this is I heard this a lot from a lot of sources yesterday that he was making bizarre, angry, violent, racist.
00:08:36.120 Well, threats.
00:08:38.000 Yeah.
00:08:38.180 And, you know, before they released the picture, man, they seem to make that broad enough to it's almost as if they wanted you to think of a of a particular type of person,
00:08:47.140 perhaps an albino who damn albinos.
00:08:50.820 They're out of control.
00:08:52.680 My apology to the one or two albinos that are not violent extremists.
00:08:58.660 I'm sure they're out there somewhere.
00:09:00.680 The albinos are not setting their best.
00:09:02.000 No, they're not.
00:09:02.420 They're not setting their best across the border.
00:09:03.880 They're roving mobs.
00:09:06.140 But it was amazing that that was the way it was.
00:09:08.560 They didn't say it was anti-white racism, probably because they spent the last 10 years telling us it's not possible.
00:09:16.160 You can't reverse racism isn't real.
00:09:19.160 It's not possible.
00:09:20.260 It can't occur.
00:09:21.180 So how did this guy have racist rants in the first place?
00:09:24.840 So he said things like it's just a matter of time before these black MFers decide, hey, listen, enough is enough.
00:09:33.620 And these white people need to go.
00:09:35.900 Oh, no, wait.
00:09:36.480 It's the exact opposite of that.
00:09:38.480 It's just a matter of time before those white MFers decide, hey, listen, enough is enough.
00:09:45.480 These N-words got to go.
00:09:49.140 On YouTube, as of yesterday, these white MFers, this is what they do.
00:09:56.260 Ultimately, at the end of the day, they kill and commit genocide against one another.
00:10:00.880 What do you think they're going to do to your black ass?
00:10:05.740 OK.
00:10:06.720 And what are you going to do?
00:10:08.000 You're going to fight.
00:10:09.140 And guess what?
00:10:10.140 You're going to die.
00:10:11.460 Because unlike Zelensky in Ukraine, nobody has your back.
00:10:16.140 The whole world is against you.
00:10:18.080 And you're against effing yourself.
00:10:22.340 So why should you be alive again?
00:10:24.980 That's the question.
00:10:25.980 Why should an N-word be alive on this planet besides to pick cotton or chop sugarcane or tobacco?
00:10:33.580 Now, this is allowed on YouTube.
00:10:37.620 But some of my opinions on the lab leak for COVID banned.
00:10:47.340 But this is allowed.
00:10:50.840 I just want to say that's interesting.
00:10:55.980 And we all agree.
00:10:58.580 I think we'd all agree.
00:10:59.480 This guy is crazy.
00:11:01.200 He's crazy.
00:11:02.720 But isn't that what the press and social media have been telling us that us crazy white conservatives are doing to the crazy people in our audience?
00:11:16.580 Winding them up.
00:11:19.080 It only takes one crazy person that happens to be listening.
00:11:22.720 Where did he get the idea the whole world is against you?
00:11:28.380 Why should you be alive?
00:11:30.900 Why should an N-word be alive on this planet besides to pick cotton or chop sugarcane or tobacco?
00:11:38.300 No one has your back.
00:11:41.420 Because that's almost the progressive bumper sticker.
00:11:48.380 It's just a message of despair.
00:11:51.000 Despair.
00:11:51.640 It's just telling a large portion of the country they will never be successful unless, of course, their white savior Democratic politician steps in to bail them out of their terrible, terrible times with these evil conservatives.
00:12:05.400 Let me tell you this.
00:12:08.500 I cannot say this to you and make you this promise like I could have 10 years ago.
00:12:15.580 10 years ago, I would say to you, you can do anything.
00:12:22.720 Anything.
00:12:24.500 You can break all barriers.
00:12:27.660 This isn't the 1950s.
00:12:29.720 And I speak, I speak from experience as a guy who was the first to go to college and couldn't afford it in my 30s more than one semester.
00:12:43.340 There's nobody in my family that was college educated.
00:12:48.220 I made it.
00:12:50.300 I built it.
00:12:51.620 I went against the system, the system.
00:12:56.240 I came into talk radio making fun.
00:13:00.500 Correct me if I'm wrong.
00:13:01.480 Making fun of talk radio.
00:13:03.760 I went in to television making fun of television.
00:13:10.560 Breaking all of the rules.
00:13:13.600 Doing it my way, not the way everybody else.
00:13:16.680 Then, when they didn't accept, we built a network, the first network.
00:13:24.060 No one had ever done it.
00:13:26.100 HBO wasn't even on yet on the Internet with live streaming.
00:13:30.660 We were the first.
00:13:31.980 I'm sorry.
00:13:32.620 Major League Baseball was the first.
00:13:34.900 We were the second into the boat.
00:13:38.140 And look at it.
00:13:40.460 Now, I'm not the smartest guy in the world.
00:13:43.760 I mean, if you've listened, you know.
00:13:45.440 But what I have is a belief in myself.
00:13:50.380 I have a belief in common decency and common goodness.
00:13:55.420 I have a belief in the system that good guys don't always win.
00:14:03.440 Good guys sometimes lose.
00:14:06.260 But in the long run, that truth wins.
00:14:10.420 And nobody really cares about your problems.
00:14:15.580 You know why?
00:14:16.660 Because everyone has their problems.
00:14:19.880 And everybody has them of differing degrees.
00:14:22.840 But everybody thinks that their problem is the biggest problem.
00:14:27.480 You go into somebody's office and you're like,
00:14:29.900 Hey, I've got a real problem.
00:14:31.140 The boss is thinking, Oh, really?
00:14:33.340 Really?
00:14:33.740 You know what I'm dealing with today?
00:14:35.580 You want problems?
00:14:36.660 Let me sit down in your office and tell you some problems.
00:14:40.240 Okay?
00:14:41.480 But they don't say that.
00:14:43.480 Because their job is to listen to you.
00:14:47.040 To help empower you.
00:14:51.560 Now, everybody's got a problem.
00:14:54.280 And they have to wear it on their sleeve.
00:14:56.220 Now, the system is so corrupt that unless you have money, unless you have the right point of view, unless you vote the right way, I don't know if you can make it.
00:15:15.100 That's new for me.
00:15:16.380 I have always been a champion of the underdog in no other country than this one.
00:15:27.980 Now, I don't know.
00:15:30.580 But I will tell you, we're still out blazing trails.
00:15:35.740 We still are optimistic about our future somewhat.
00:15:40.300 Let me make you this promise.
00:15:47.180 If you adhere to a universal moral code, if you adhere to do unto others, love thy neighbor, if you can accept Glenn Beck's top ten rules for life, formerly called the Ten Commandments,
00:16:10.300 you're going to be all right.
00:16:13.560 You'll make it.
00:16:15.520 You know why?
00:16:17.540 Because you'll be on the side of God, the universal truth maker.
00:16:25.460 And as long as you remain on his side, everything's going to work out.
00:16:30.800 It may not be your dreams.
00:16:32.340 I can't tell you.
00:16:33.940 This isn't exactly what I planned.
00:16:36.740 You know, when I started radio, this is not what I planned.
00:16:39.820 In fact, this is nothing like I planned.
00:16:43.100 However, it's good.
00:16:47.060 There are no mistakes and no waste in God's universe.
00:16:52.040 No waste.
00:16:52.780 It's amazing how much you can screw up your life.
00:16:55.640 And if you just put it on the right track and stay with Glenn Beck's ten really good safety tips, formerly known as the Ten Commandments.
00:17:05.620 It's amazing how all of that wasted time, all of that wasted energy, how all of those mistakes will be used, not by you, but by him somehow or another to put you right where you're supposed to be with all of the skills that you needed.
00:17:25.900 And don't listen to anybody who says you can't do it.
00:17:30.740 Don't listen to anybody who is saying the whole world's against you.
00:17:34.640 No, it's not.
00:17:36.280 No, it's not.
00:17:37.120 My goal is to be like, what was the priest's name that was down in the basement of the concentration camps, remember?
00:17:47.520 And they just, the guy was so positive all the time.
00:17:49.960 They're like, okay, we got to just starve him to death.
00:17:52.720 And they put him in a basement and he got all of the other prisoners to start singing hymns.
00:18:00.340 And now they really wanted to kill him because he was starving to death.
00:18:04.340 He went blind from starvation.
00:18:06.360 He was in so much pain and yet he was still singing.
00:18:08.840 He was happy.
00:18:11.260 I want to be that guy.
00:18:13.360 Minus the starving in the basement of the concentration camp.
00:18:15.940 But I want to be that guy.
00:18:18.720 He didn't think the world was against him.
00:18:20.700 And boy, he could have.
00:18:23.460 He knew what was true.
00:18:25.800 He knew the value of his own being.
00:18:30.120 And he knew who he answered to.
00:18:32.660 There's nothing more important than learning that.
00:18:36.380 Callie wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Green.
00:18:39.000 She says, I can't believe how easy it is to get my dog Rough Greens.
00:18:41.740 First tried it out in the palm of my hand.
00:18:44.280 He ate it like candy.
00:18:46.040 He looks forward to it now in his bowl every single day.
00:18:48.720 He doesn't walk around in so much pain as he used to as well.
00:18:53.060 Thank you, Rough Greens.

00:19:42.000 Station ID.
00:19:42.600 So in 2019, they, uh, the FBI, uh, had interviewed this guy multiple times as a danger to society.
00:20:05.300 Man, and it was, you know, it was put to bed in 2019.
00:20:08.800 He's good.
00:20:09.360 He's good.
00:20:10.100 Definitely not a white supremacist.
00:20:11.920 I'll tell you that right now.
00:20:13.860 They still haven't found him.
00:20:15.480 By the way, on tonight's program, a detailed look at President Biden's fitness for office.
00:20:23.260 Um, this is not one that we're going to be celebrating.
00:20:27.340 Oh, look how senile this guy is.
00:20:29.120 I don't know if you saw the bird crapping on him yesterday.
00:20:33.020 I just, I can't even laugh at these things anymore.
00:20:36.300 It's like, oh my God.
00:20:38.920 Ah, sure.
00:20:39.920 All right.
00:20:40.480 And that one seems like you can laugh at it.
00:20:41.920 Yeah.
00:20:42.260 Yeah.
00:20:42.540 Uh, it's just the, the gaffes and everything else on how our president looks to the rest
00:20:48.140 of the world is just terrifying, terrifying.
00:20:52.140 And I sincerely worry that he is not of a sound mind, at least all the time.
00:21:01.080 Uh, we look into that.
00:21:02.600 We, we take you through the old Biden to the new Biden, and there's a marked difference.
00:21:09.120 Um, what does the 25th amendment even mean?
00:21:12.660 You know, they tried to invoke that against Trump.
00:21:15.780 Can you invoke that?
00:21:18.160 What, what's the standard of that?
00:21:21.000 And is our president's mental health a concern or is it, is it just me?
00:21:27.260 That's tonight at 9 p.m.
00:21:30.520 Um, president Biden's mental fitness, the serious conversation America should be having tonight, 9 p.m.
00:21:38.580 Eastern, only on blaze tv.com and blaze tv YouTube.
00:21:44.200 Don't miss it.
00:21:45.580 By the way, uh, you know, we all hate the rich, right?
00:21:49.020 That's what we're, that's what we're being told.
00:21:51.280 Hate the rich.
00:21:54.120 Completely unrelated to that, Los Angeles gangs now are prowling the city in crews, targeting,
00:22:01.600 and then following home the super rich.
00:22:04.780 And they're, uh, anyway, uh, also, you know, uh, Seattle, you know, was re reimagining the
00:22:14.000 police department in a completely unrelated story.
00:22:17.820 Seattle now doesn't have enough cops, uh, to, uh, look into rapes.
00:22:23.320 So that's good.
00:22:24.800 Um, also the story about the, uh, you, uh, that, uh, the postal service, uh, is, you know,
00:22:32.160 spying on people, um, in a completely unrelated, um, story, mail deliveries in California and
00:22:40.240 Santa Monica, uh, has stopped now because people are being too violent against the old
00:22:48.140 white mail carrier, the Glenn back program, American financing, NMLS one, eight, two, three,
00:22:54.520 three, four, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
00:22:58.760 All right.
00:22:59.380 It, uh, it's something that we all have to face.
00:23:03.920 We are on the edge of a recession and one that could turn into a depression.
00:23:09.240 We are now, we're going to talk in the third hour today about what our inflation rate really
00:23:15.600 is and what it really means to be able to turn this around, um, which I'm not sure they
00:23:22.780 can is to turn this around.
00:23:24.560 We have to have really high interest rates and things are going to start to go unstable.
00:23:29.280 And when they do, uh, they're going to raise your credit card rates even higher.
00:23:34.780 I want you, if you have credit cards and you haven't paid them off and you don't see light

00:24:28.280 are?
00:24:31.720 I didn't know them by names.
00:24:33.540 No.
00:24:33.880 Okay.
00:24:34.240 Uh, they're the two individuals that posed as DHS agents who, uh, have appeared to have
00:24:43.180 compromised several members of the secret service protective detail.
00:24:47.440 Now you heard this story, right?
00:24:50.620 What do you know about this story, Pat?
00:24:52.340 I know that these two guys, uh, were posing as Homeland Security or department of yeah, something.
00:24:59.860 Uh, and they tried to ingratiate themselves to, is it Jill's secret service detail, offered
00:25:07.280 them all kinds of presents and gifts.
00:25:08.900 And like one of them had a, uh, $40,000 a year penthouse for free and other gifts.
00:25:16.300 I would call them loving, right?
00:25:18.400 And they, they were loving people who were trying to make new friends, right?
00:25:22.020 That's all they were.
00:25:22.740 That's all they were doing.
00:25:23.300 Okay.
00:25:23.560 Yeah.
00:25:24.000 So, um, there was a detention hearing for these two on Friday and you know,
00:25:29.860 why even bring this up?
00:25:31.140 There were just two guys, a couple of guys, a couple of guys, uh, with, uh, Iranian ties,
00:25:36.460 by the way.
00:25:37.620 Um, every day the facts get worse and worse.
00:25:41.220 This is what was said by the U S attorney.
00:25:43.340 The defendants were not merely playing dress up with firearms and ammunition, body armor,
00:25:48.560 tactical gear, surveillance equipment.
00:25:50.200 They were engaged in conduct that represented a serious threat to the community and compromise
00:25:55.460 the operations of federal law enforcement and created a potential national security threat.
00:26:00.860 Now we are so used to hearing about these poor Iranians that are just being targeted.
00:26:09.740 And all they were doing was making friends in the apartment building.
00:26:12.560 Now, um, there, there is some additional information.
00:26:17.540 I don't even know if it's worth covering, but, um, there was during the detention hearing,
00:26:24.120 uh, there, what, there was some documents released on what they also found in their apartment.
00:26:30.040 Okay.
00:26:30.880 Uh, fire Iranian guys.
00:26:32.600 Yeah.
00:26:33.060 Befriending the secret.
00:26:34.180 Yeah.
00:26:34.360 Yeah.
00:26:34.560 Yeah.
00:26:34.740 So they found among other things, I'm quoting, um, a firearm barrel of an unknown caliber weapon
00:26:43.220 stock attachments, four grips, pistol grips, a magazine cartridge scope.
00:26:48.220 Uh, also, uh, they had long guns and assault rifles.
00:26:53.120 Law enforcement also recovered a spotting scope, which can be used for a sniper or spotter team.
00:26:58.460 Hmm.
00:26:58.980 So that, that's the, they also recovered electronic devices, including among other things, a significant
00:27:07.400 quantity of surveillance equipment, approximately 30 hard drives, a hard drive, copying equipment,
00:27:14.160 a computer server containing six modules, a machine to create and program personal identification,
00:27:21.720 verification cards, you know, so you could have a passport or, you know, something with an
00:27:27.280 embedded chip in it, a currency counter and several subscriber identification modules, SIM cards and
00:27:35.200 antennas.
00:27:37.220 So they had that as well.
00:27:39.360 Yeah.
00:27:39.740 It's probably not worth mentioning.
00:27:41.120 They also recovered tactical gear, uh, and, uh, clothing with police insignias, police parking
00:27:49.140 placards, a latent fingerprint kit, equipment for breaching a door, including a sledgehammer,
00:27:54.900 a ram, a halogen tool, lock picking kit, and an ax.
00:27:59.240 I have all, but one of those things in my trunk right now.
00:28:02.440 Right.
00:28:02.880 Yeah.
00:28:03.060 I mean, we all do.
00:28:04.080 So common.
00:28:04.940 I mean, who doesn't leave the house without a halogen tool?
00:28:08.080 No, no one.
00:28:08.800 Yeah.
00:28:09.320 Now they found some documents as well, but we all have these things.
00:28:14.480 A binder containing a list of all of the residents and the apartment numbers and contact information,
00:28:19.520 a DHS procedures manual, a federal law enforcement training center manual, a law enforcement use
00:28:27.560 only documents, uh, immigration documents for a number of individuals, a box of documents
00:28:33.980 with profile of individual people, passport photos of what appears to be one of the guy,
00:28:40.120 U.S.S.P. documents and miscellaneous mail and documents associated with, uh, you know,
00:28:47.080 these two guys.
00:28:48.460 Hmm.
00:28:49.060 So they had that.
00:28:51.200 Well, they, they also had a gas mask, handcuffs, zip ties, handheld radios, uh, a, uh, ultraviolet
00:29:01.460 flashlight and RFGS K18, which is used to locate hidden cameras, microphones, RF transmitters,
00:29:09.160 vehicle trackers, uh, computer server, another one with two modules, an encrypted portable
00:29:14.780 hard drive, antennas, uh, uh, holster mounted and hidden under one of their desks and a high
00:29:22.240 end drone.
00:29:24.160 You know what they sound like?
00:29:25.400 They sound like they're really well prepared.
00:29:27.420 Yeah, right.
00:29:28.280 Like they're Boy Scouts.
00:29:29.280 Right.
00:29:29.600 Exactly right.
00:29:30.600 Just really well prepared for just about anything.
00:29:32.980 Just about anything.
00:29:34.100 That's great.
00:29:34.620 Including like maybe an assassination.
00:29:36.800 Yeah.
00:29:37.460 You know.
00:29:37.840 Maybe.
00:29:38.240 Maybe.
00:29:38.740 All in one, all in one little apartment.
00:29:43.040 Huh.
00:29:43.920 So these guys were just.
00:29:45.860 So the gifts were they, were the, were the gifts that they were giving to the secret service
00:29:49.780 just about betting them down?
00:29:51.100 Were they trying to do that or.
00:29:52.700 What do you mean betting them down?
00:29:53.840 You know, just bet them down.
00:29:55.260 Were you.
00:29:56.160 They're.
00:29:56.700 So you think this was.
00:29:58.120 Maybe in love with the secret service agents.
00:30:01.220 Okay.
00:30:01.240 So you think maybe that was it.
00:30:02.740 Plying them.
00:30:03.040 Yes.
00:30:03.460 Presence.
00:30:04.220 So you think maybe Iranians came over.
00:30:07.040 Uh-huh.
00:30:08.340 Well.
00:30:09.140 The.
00:30:09.420 Really prepared Iranians.
00:30:10.860 Really prepared Iranians.
00:30:12.360 Yeah.
00:30:12.780 Came over and they just wanted to bed down some.
00:30:16.540 Yeah.
00:30:16.700 They were attracted to some of the secret service detail.
00:30:19.480 Okay.
00:30:19.780 That Joe had.
00:30:20.780 Well, you'd think that someone who was really prepared would be attracted to someone like
00:30:24.900 a secret service agent.
00:30:26.040 Right.
00:30:26.320 Exactly.
00:30:26.640 Probably also is very prepared.
00:30:28.240 Right.
00:30:28.440 Yes.
00:30:28.740 You know.
00:30:29.220 Just coincidence.
00:30:30.240 So it's a natural match.
00:30:31.520 Yes.
00:30:31.800 Totally.
00:30:32.360 Well, the good thing is nobody seems to be covering this.
00:30:35.860 No.
00:30:36.400 And.
00:30:36.720 I haven't heard that list at all.
00:30:38.540 Yeah.
00:30:38.740 That came out Friday.
00:30:40.040 That came out Friday.
00:30:40.940 Oh, wow.
00:30:41.420 Yeah.
00:30:42.400 Friday.
00:30:42.880 Wow.
00:30:43.720 Friday.
00:30:44.860 Friday.
00:30:45.400 That's amazing.
00:30:46.160 By the way, you know, you can't expect everybody to cover it, especially CNN.
00:30:52.280 CNN Plus.
00:30:53.400 You know, they've spent about $300 million.
00:30:57.580 Do we know that CNN Plus hasn't covered it?
00:31:00.460 Because maybe they did and nobody saw it.
00:31:02.120 Well, that's that's very good.
00:31:03.560 Yeah.
00:31:03.720 That's that's very good.
00:31:04.980 Very good.
00:31:05.540 I hate to.
00:31:06.300 I hate to say.
00:31:07.820 But it's it's it's they announced yesterday that they only have around 10,000 daily users.
00:31:18.460 That's not a good number.
00:31:19.820 That's not.
00:31:20.580 That's not.
00:31:21.200 No.
00:31:21.380 No.
00:31:21.780 When you have when you spend 300 million dollars, you want to get that number higher.
00:31:25.780 Yeah.
00:31:25.940 You want to get that number higher.
00:31:27.000 But here's the thing.
00:31:27.780 Five hundred ish.
00:31:28.600 No.
00:31:29.060 Even more than that.
00:31:30.060 Oh, here's the thing.
00:31:30.920 Here's the thing.
00:31:32.160 That breaks down to about thirty thousand dollars per viewer.
00:31:36.700 OK.
00:31:37.260 I would consider I'm not guaranteeing, but I would consider watching CNN Plus if they paid
00:31:43.580 me thirty thousand dollars.
00:31:45.500 Wow.
00:31:46.220 I mean, just why advertise?
00:31:48.060 Just not to watch them for a year.
00:31:49.360 You're talking about once.
00:31:50.240 Yeah.
00:31:50.840 Yeah.
00:31:51.120 That would be too much.
00:31:51.760 I mean, I can't guarantee I might get busy, you know what I mean?
00:31:54.240 But I'd watch it once.
00:31:55.960 OK.
00:31:56.340 For thirty grand.
00:31:57.220 Wow.
00:31:57.660 An unmitigated catastrophe for that.
00:32:00.140 One of the biggest of all time, I'd say.
00:32:01.780 And it's hard.
00:32:02.520 Oh, yeah.
00:32:03.120 To underestimate how dumb it is to think it would work.
00:32:07.760 Yeah.
00:32:07.980 It's like, I know this is not a surprise.
00:32:10.040 Very true.
00:32:10.500 Like, I mean, you know, Quibi is one that's being compared with a lot.
00:32:14.200 And this is a service that came out a couple of years ago in the middle of the pandemic,
00:32:17.640 right at the beginning of the pandemic, actually.
00:32:19.600 And it was a show that was based on like ten minute videos.
00:32:23.740 And it was a subscription service.
00:32:26.260 And they came out with these shows.
00:32:27.400 And they had all these different, all these different crazy ideas where like you could
00:32:30.960 see multiple views.
00:32:32.000 Like if you turn your phone one way, you'd see the show one way.
00:32:34.260 You turn it the other way.
00:32:34.960 You'd see a different view of the show.
00:32:36.520 They had all sorts of stuff like that.
00:32:38.220 They invested, you know, tons and tons of money.
00:32:40.760 And it dissolved in six months, right?
00:32:43.360 It was like a total catastrophe.
00:32:44.700 But like there's at least an argument to understand why you think that would work, right?
00:32:49.660 Like they didn't know the pandemic was coming.
00:32:52.040 People are watching short videos.
00:32:53.540 They're in the line of the grocery store.
00:32:54.940 They want to watch a short video.
00:32:56.520 People like YouTube.
00:32:57.420 There's a lot of short videos there.
00:32:58.740 Maybe if we put higher quality content, people would pay for it.
00:33:01.060 Like there's a rational idea as to how that would work.
00:33:04.000 Who on earth would think that people would want to pay to watch more CNN?
00:33:09.880 It's completely crazy.
00:33:12.460 It makes no sense.
00:33:13.780 It never made sense.
00:33:15.140 I mean, it's stuff like, you know, like Jake Tapper's book club.
00:33:18.340 Like why on earth would people pay?
00:33:21.200 Would you accept payments to go to CNN journalist's houses and participate in a book club with them
00:33:28.280 personally?
00:33:28.940 You know, I wouldn't take money to do that myself.
00:33:32.080 And they want people to pay to watch it online?
00:33:34.960 Now, some lesser men.
00:33:37.940 Yes.
00:33:38.420 Lesser men.
00:33:39.000 Yes.
00:33:40.260 Would inside just be, would be having dance parties.
00:33:46.280 Okay.
00:33:46.620 Inside.
00:33:47.120 Which kind of person?
00:33:48.240 Well, the kind of person that would say, we were called a failure, you know, when we
00:33:53.140 had 300,000 subscribers before we even launched.
00:34:00.060 But I'm not one of those men.
00:34:02.980 I'm not one of those men.
00:34:04.520 No, there is.
00:34:05.220 And I don't know who this was, but I do remember one particular person who owned and ran a streaming
00:34:10.460 service at this time and was being called a failure by someone who's on CNN plus.
00:34:16.680 Yeah.
00:34:16.980 In an interview.
00:34:17.840 Oh, the little fat, little fat troll.
00:34:20.520 I don't remember who it was.
00:34:21.900 And so, and then, and then the person who was being interviewed who ran the streaming
00:34:26.780 service walked out of the interview because, you know, it was kind of under false pretenses
00:34:30.620 at that time.
00:34:31.360 Yeah.
00:34:31.600 And it was a big deal and they were so sure that that company was going to fail.
00:34:36.600 Yet that company now still exists and is thriving.
00:34:40.060 Yeah.
00:34:40.360 And CNN plus, despite a slightly higher investment of $300 million is collapsing.
00:34:47.460 Yeah.
00:34:48.140 Yeah.
00:34:48.640 It is.
00:34:48.840 In like a week.
00:34:50.040 Huh.
00:34:50.300 And you know, they were, they were planning on spending over a billion dollars on that
00:34:55.120 venture.
00:34:55.520 Yeah.
00:34:55.700 I don't think they're going to do that.
00:34:56.800 Over a billion.
00:34:57.160 I don't think so.
00:34:57.640 I don't think so.
00:34:58.440 I don't think so.
00:34:59.600 Yeah.
00:34:59.820 What, what is the process of thought saying that Zucker left because of this affair?
00:35:06.080 I think he knew this was coming.
00:35:08.140 I think this was his baby.
00:35:10.720 He knew CNN plus was going to be a Quibi esque catastrophic failure and was like, let
00:35:18.180 me get out of here before people associate this thing with me.
00:35:20.820 Yeah, that could be.
00:35:21.860 I would not even be surprised.
00:35:22.960 He may have started.
00:35:23.780 He may have started the affair back up just to get out of that job.
00:35:26.980 Okay.
00:35:27.340 One more thing I have to hit before, before you leave Pat, Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:35:32.500 You can get it and download the podcast.
00:35:34.240 Listen every day.
00:35:35.560 By the way, I've talked to several audience members that have said, thank God for you
00:35:42.340 coming on and just, they listen to you and they're laughing and everything.
00:35:47.460 And then they're in a better mood for me to bring them down.
00:35:50.860 So anyway.
00:35:52.400 It's a good team.
00:35:52.720 Yeah.
00:35:53.080 It is.
00:35:54.720 So I got to give, I have to give.
00:35:57.000 It's the uppers and downers.
00:35:58.580 That's not necessarily referred to as a good team.
00:36:01.020 It's more of a drug addiction problem.
00:36:02.760 But I have to give Michael Knowles the award for one of the best comebacks of all time,
00:36:10.440 but definitely of the week.
00:36:12.880 He was with Ted Cruz and they were speaking at Yale University and, and world hunger came
00:36:20.840 up because of, because somebody stood up from Yale and said, assuming it would end global
00:36:28.840 hunger, Ted Cruz, would you fillet another man?
00:36:37.720 Michael.
00:36:38.940 Wasn't there more to that question?
00:36:42.840 No, that was the question.
00:36:45.380 No, I think the question wasn't it.
00:36:46.620 Would you fillet another man to, to end?
00:36:48.880 Yeah.
00:36:49.000 Yeah.
00:36:49.160 Yeah.
00:36:49.380 Assuming it would end global hunger.
00:36:51.300 I see what you're saying.
00:36:52.380 Would you fillet another man?
00:36:53.760 Uh, and Michael, no, Michael Knowles, uh, said you're attempting to justify flagrantly
00:37:00.960 immoral behavior to achieve a good end.
00:37:03.400 And I can tell you, my friend, the ends do not justify the means.
00:37:07.020 Absolutely.
00:37:07.860 Absolutely not.
00:37:08.820 But what I am curious about young fellow is if it would solve world hunger, would you
00:37:15.740 vote for Donald Trump?
00:37:17.800 Wow.
00:37:18.800 Nice.
00:37:19.880 Love that.
00:37:20.540 Nice.
00:37:20.940 Was there a response to that?
00:37:22.300 Uh, crying.
00:37:23.760 Uh, running out of the room.
00:37:26.300 All right.
00:37:27.580 Uh, my, my fellow Amazonians, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, you know the thing.
00:37:35.820 Good sleep can be described in one word.
00:37:39.400 And that is, I was out hunting with President Xi Jinping in a creek at the base of the Amalayas.
00:37:46.180 We were shooting a deer.
00:37:47.580 No joke, man.
00:37:49.360 And that deer left his Kevlar vest at home.
00:37:52.220 Um, and while Xi Jinping was playing with the hairs on my leg, I raised my gun with one
00:37:59.520 bullet in it and I corn popped that son of a gun.
00:38:03.160 What the president is trying to say here is the most powerful man in the world could use
00:38:11.560 a good night's sleep.
00:38:13.260 And you'll find that with MyPillow.

00:39:00.400 So Newsweek magazine wrote conservative commentator Glenn Beck says, wokeism, not conservatism,
00:39:25.980 is dividing Americans, calling the social justice ideology a cult in which half the country
00:39:33.140 belongs.
00:39:34.400 Beck made the remarks in a video posted on Twitter.
00:39:37.120 No, I actually made them on the radio, which we then clipped.
00:39:43.240 Well, it was a video, and then it was posted on Twitter.
00:39:45.080 Right.
00:39:45.560 Saying it was time to call out wokeism.
00:39:48.320 The nationally syndicated talk show host follows other voices who have used the term woke as
00:39:52.360 a culture of war rallying cry to undermine their political opponents or stances in their
00:39:58.120 own party.
00:39:58.760 I don't think that's how I would describe what you're doing.
00:40:01.180 No, I wouldn't say that either.
00:40:02.940 Beck spoke grimly about the social effects of wokeism.
00:40:05.620 They're separating us from our families.
00:40:07.800 They're telling us their cult members.
00:40:09.740 They're telling their cult members not to listen to anyone else.
00:40:12.840 Would a cult tell you to silence everyone?
00:40:14.800 Or would a cult tell you, oh, be open minded.
00:40:17.620 Listen to everybody.
00:40:19.180 Which one does a cult do?
00:40:21.320 Beck encourages listeners to talk to their families and love them despite disagreements
00:40:25.320 or difficult conversation.
00:40:26.880 He said, wokeism instructs adherence to cut off family members with differing opinions.
00:40:32.060 I'm not the extremist, the cult that half of America worships today.
00:40:36.540 Those are the extremist.
00:40:38.540 And it's time we say it out loud and without any fear.
00:40:41.860 We are not afraid of, quite honestly, your evil cult.
00:40:47.180 That was from Newsweek magazine.
00:40:49.140 And that's kind of what we're doing in our two this week.
00:40:52.700 We are looking for America's God.
00:40:55.220 Tomorrow, tomorrow I make the very strong case on wokeism being America's cult and possibly
00:41:05.700 America's God.
00:41:06.880 Today, we're going to look at the the use of science by our culture.
00:41:14.660 Is this our new God?
00:41:17.800 America's God.
00:41:19.520 Who is it?
00:41:20.620 And what does it mean for our future?
00:41:23.660 More on that next.
00:41:26.060 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:41:28.660 Rough greens.
00:41:29.140 Not all heroes wear capes.
00:41:33.660 In fact, of them.
00:41:34.520 In fact, many of them wear fur.
00:41:37.740 There are dogs.
00:41:39.100 And some of them, you know, some of these heroes just feed their dogs.
00:41:44.740 Rough greens.
00:41:45.300 Yeah, that's right.
00:41:46.560 I'm calling you and me a hero.
00:41:47.880 If you're feeding your dog, rough greens.
00:41:49.580 If not, well, you know, there are normal humans around.
00:41:53.120 When your dog is a real member of the family, you want them to live a long, healthy, happy
00:42:01.680 life.
00:42:02.860 Or if you're feeding your dog kibble food, everything good for them is really cooked out
00:42:07.380 of that for a long shelf life.
00:42:09.680 Rough greens is not a dog food.
00:42:11.240 It's a supplement that you sprinkle on top of that food.
00:42:13.920 And it's filled with all the vitamins, minerals, and the probiotics and antioxidants, the things
00:42:18.820 that your dog needs to be healthier.
00:42:20.480 You can get a free bag of rough greens now just for your dog to try out.
00:42:24.140 Make sure your dog loves it as much as my dog Uno does.
00:42:28.660 All you pay for is shipping.
00:42:30.440 If your dog loves it as much as Uno does, then start feeding your dog in over a few months.
00:42:36.320 I'm telling you, you will see a huge difference.

00:43:30.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:34.780 Stand up straight and hold the line.
00:43:35.960 Hello, America.
00:43:38.000 Yesterday, I started a four-part series on America's God.
00:43:42.360 Because as we abandon our Judeo-Christian God and ethics, what are we replacing it with?
00:43:51.080 Who is our God now?
00:43:52.360 Is it money?
00:43:53.520 Is it wokeism?
00:43:54.860 Is it science?
00:43:56.580 What is our God?
00:43:57.980 It's important to answer that question.
00:44:00.540 Newsweek just ran a story on me when I spelled out that, yeah, I think wokeism is a cult.
00:44:08.380 It is a religious cult.
00:44:09.840 But I'm gonna make that case in tomorrow's episode.
00:44:13.380 Today, we look at science.
00:44:17.480 Is this our God?
00:44:20.220 Next.
00:44:24.900 Mother's Day is right around the corner, and that means asking the age-old question,

00:45:43.620 Yesterday, in part one of this series, we looked at what seems to be a missing moral code.
00:45:52.120 A code that we all had.
00:45:55.420 Our society no longer seems to function.
00:45:58.900 Crime rates, suicide rates among our children.
00:46:02.460 And basic common decency seem to be in rapid decline, as is common sense.
00:46:10.100 Maybe it's because we're finding ourselves with less and less in common.
00:46:15.840 Is it all really about politics?
00:46:18.980 Is it really just we have to elect the right party and then they'll fix it?
00:46:23.820 Can a society once based on the individual survive the policies that protect the collective over the individual?
00:46:32.460 Can the individual survive the vicious mob mentality of that same collective?
00:46:40.100 Yes, our politics have changed.
00:46:42.320 Our ability to muster a mob literally within a minute through social media has had game-changing effects on all of us.
00:46:51.760 But I think there's something more that is missing.
00:46:56.360 This week, I'm searching for America's God.
00:47:01.360 In the past, it wasn't that all Americans agreed or believed in God.
00:47:06.060 And certainly, we never were in lockstep on religion.
00:47:09.080 However, as we talked about yesterday,
00:47:11.400 America's moral code, which helped the individual self-regulate,
00:47:17.160 came from an understanding of a universal right and wrong,
00:47:22.160 Judeo-Christian ethics.
00:47:24.640 So if we no longer have that moral code,
00:47:28.260 what's filling that space?
00:47:31.300 Who or what is our God?
00:47:35.820 Today, I want to look at our relationship with science.
00:47:38.320 And before we begin, it's important to point out that we are looking at science, not the science.
00:47:45.240 We can and should embrace the scientific method,
00:47:49.040 but there is no such thing as the science.
00:47:53.460 As it would have one believe that science and its conclusions are final,
00:47:57.540 and they are almost always not final.
00:48:01.080 Science gives us just the best explanation currently available
00:48:06.140 for those questions of the physical world.
00:48:09.180 And when those seeking honest answers, not political ones,
00:48:12.540 or as in the Dark Ages, religious answers,
00:48:15.440 which technically, religious answers were political,
00:48:18.860 as the church had enormous power in the state apparatus.
00:48:21.740 Perhaps our problem, perhaps all of our problems stem from the lack of understanding
00:48:30.600 and pursuit of those things that cannot be found under a microscope,
00:48:35.920 but rather only upon reflection of the why,
00:48:41.940 as well as the how and what.
00:48:44.540 We estimate that human understanding can account for about 5% of the universe.
00:48:53.280 5%.
00:48:53.840 And that's our estimation.
00:48:56.820 It's probably a lot less than that.
00:48:59.780 And within that 5% is something labeled dark matter,
00:49:04.260 which I think is just a fancy way of saying,
00:49:08.140 ah, yeah, we don't have any clue on what it is.
00:49:10.000 There is clearly some sort of unknown energy that holds the universe together,
00:49:17.240 but we don't know what it is.
00:49:20.360 And it's much more than everything else we can see.
00:49:25.500 Dark matter outweighs visible matter 6 to 1,
00:49:28.940 which means most of what we, quote, know,
00:49:32.540 we actually don't know.
00:49:35.060 Whether we label it energy or God,
00:49:37.720 we agree that there is some unknown force holding our galaxy together,
00:49:42.660 and we can't fully comprehend what or who or how it even works.
00:49:50.140 But many of us want to desperately.
00:49:54.580 Most of the world still is a cosmic mystery to us,
00:49:59.180 just like it was when the Greeks were writing their myths,
00:50:02.420 or the Hebrews,
00:50:03.640 when they passed down the story of creation.
00:50:05.800 Each generation does its best to answer these questions.
00:50:11.300 Who am I?
00:50:13.120 Where am I?
00:50:16.640 What should I be doing?
00:50:19.080 Why do I exist?
00:50:21.740 Are we alone?
00:50:25.020 I believe there's a duality to reality,
00:50:28.300 that material things have spiritual significance.
00:50:31.800 In reality,
00:50:34.640 if a home was the site of a horrific event,
00:50:38.620 murder,
00:50:39.160 sexual assault,
00:50:40.040 torture,
00:50:40.800 it's considered a stigmatized property.
00:50:45.000 There are even,
00:50:46.080 in some states,
00:50:47.360 requirements
00:50:48.220 to disclose the horrific events
00:50:51.600 to a potential buyer.
00:50:53.920 In 2021,
00:50:55.800 Realtor.com found that 80% of Americans
00:50:58.820 would not live in a home
00:51:00.020 where a murder took place.
00:51:02.280 Why?
00:51:04.500 There's no material explanation for that.
00:51:07.300 Just because somebody was murdered in a house
00:51:09.360 doesn't mean the house is a murder house.
00:51:12.000 It's not affected
00:51:13.200 once it's been cleaned and cleared.
00:51:16.280 But most people think
00:51:17.660 that's just not the case.
00:51:19.860 We don't want to buy
00:51:21.060 the murder house.
00:51:23.780 There's some
00:51:24.600 unexplainable,
00:51:25.660 non-material
00:51:26.240 energy there,
00:51:27.700 some people think.
00:51:31.140 There's so many mysteries in this world
00:51:32.920 that can't be explained
00:51:34.320 by only looking at the things we see.
00:51:37.080 We also have to consider the things
00:51:38.480 that we do not see
00:51:39.900 and how these two realities work together.
00:51:44.740 With science rapidly advancing
00:51:46.560 discussions of religion,
00:51:48.160 faith,
00:51:48.720 philosophy,
00:51:50.300 our meaning
00:51:51.820 have failed to keep pace.
00:51:54.340 We can calculate light speed,
00:51:57.520 but we can't figure out
00:51:58.620 how to keep our families together.
00:52:01.040 Medicines extend our lives,
00:52:02.940 but we don't really know
00:52:04.140 how to fill the extra time.
00:52:07.500 Yet,
00:52:08.340 I believe
00:52:09.760 if we allow them
00:52:11.460 to work together,
00:52:13.280 science and faith
00:52:14.880 are natural allies.
00:52:17.860 At their best,
00:52:18.900 they're both fundamentally based
00:52:20.560 in an honest curiosity
00:52:22.180 about the world.
00:52:23.420 They both inspire
00:52:24.820 endless questions
00:52:26.200 and a general sense
00:52:27.400 of awe
00:52:28.140 about how masterfully
00:52:29.520 this universe
00:52:30.140 is put together.
00:52:33.540 When I was young,
00:52:35.140 the biggest question
00:52:37.760 was,
00:52:38.620 are we alone?
00:52:43.580 Every campfire,
00:52:45.500 maybe we stopped asking this
00:52:46.960 because we don't sit around
00:52:48.060 campfires enough anymore,
00:52:49.440 or we live in cities
00:52:50.860 where we can't see the stars
00:52:52.400 and feel small.
00:52:54.900 But we would sit around
00:52:56.180 a campfire
00:52:56.960 and everyone would
00:52:58.220 start to talk about
00:52:59.100 the meaning of life
00:53:00.380 and it would always
00:53:01.380 end up with somebody
00:53:02.360 looking up at the heavens
00:53:03.420 and saying,
00:53:04.080 what a waste of space
00:53:05.880 if we were alone.
00:53:08.520 We used to talk about
00:53:09.660 those things
00:53:10.200 and people were,
00:53:11.780 they were
00:53:14.400 a little apprehensive
00:53:16.400 of what it would mean
00:53:17.560 if we could prove
00:53:19.020 alien life
00:53:20.060 because what would
00:53:21.340 that do to our God?
00:53:23.180 What would it do
00:53:23.720 to our religion?
00:53:26.120 In 2019,
00:53:27.700 the Pentagon
00:53:28.160 began to release
00:53:29.100 information on
00:53:29.860 what I believe
00:53:30.420 is the biggest story
00:53:31.560 in the history
00:53:32.360 of mankind,
00:53:33.440 the physical proof
00:53:34.960 of intelligent life
00:53:36.160 previously unknown
00:53:37.500 to us.
00:53:38.740 They verified it
00:53:41.300 through three-point
00:53:42.480 high-tech tracking systems
00:53:44.200 that we now have.
00:53:45.100 We also verified
00:53:47.100 that we have
00:53:47.800 physical material
00:53:49.020 and technology
00:53:49.980 that experts say
00:53:51.620 most likely come
00:53:53.120 from outside
00:53:54.020 of our solar system.
00:53:57.000 Yet you say that
00:53:58.000 to people
00:53:58.360 and it's not
00:53:59.400 widely spread.
00:54:01.080 Why?
00:54:03.560 Is it because science
00:54:05.300 has become about
00:54:06.200 politics
00:54:07.020 and has lost
00:54:08.420 its partner
00:54:09.160 of philosophy
00:54:10.340 and religion
00:54:12.060 which encourage us
00:54:13.440 to answer
00:54:14.160 the biggest questions
00:54:15.240 of who am I
00:54:16.420 and what is
00:54:17.780 the meaning
00:54:18.200 of life?
00:54:20.880 In a culture
00:54:21.700 that loves to talk
00:54:22.600 about following
00:54:23.600 the science,
00:54:25.580 I say
00:54:26.160 don't follow it.
00:54:28.620 Chase it.

00:54:37.520 I mean,
00:54:37.820 it's a three-ring circus
00:54:39.240 most of the time.
00:54:40.080 It's hard to know
00:54:40.700 where to even begin
00:54:42.100 but you have to have
00:54:43.460 the right real estate agent
00:54:44.740 and I'm talking about

00:54:52.020 you can

00:55:24.320 10 seconds
00:55:25.000 station ID
00:55:25.660 We have made
00:55:38.120 a huge mistake
00:55:39.620 pitting religion
00:55:40.680 and science
00:55:41.400 against each other
00:55:42.420 as if you had to
00:55:44.060 choose just one
00:55:45.120 of these lenses
00:55:45.880 to view the whole
00:55:46.620 world through.
00:55:48.340 I guess we thought
00:55:49.440 the material truth
00:55:50.520 discounted a spiritual
00:55:52.040 truth or vice versa
00:55:53.220 but that is not
00:55:54.420 the case.
00:55:56.040 The practical study
00:55:57.100 of the material world
00:55:58.440 is an amazing
00:55:59.780 and extremely
00:56:00.920 important endeavor.
00:56:02.800 It has extended
00:56:03.640 our lifespans
00:56:04.640 and taught us
00:56:05.440 what our bodies
00:56:06.300 are literally
00:56:07.000 made up of.
00:56:08.840 But science
00:56:09.520 doesn't comfort us
00:56:10.660 in death.
00:56:11.700 Science is cold.
00:56:13.400 It doesn't fulfill
00:56:14.400 our need
00:56:15.240 to belong.
00:56:16.680 It doesn't provide us
00:56:18.360 with the why.
00:56:20.900 Just the how.
00:56:22.000 Similarly,
00:56:25.100 religion doesn't
00:56:25.880 teach us how
00:56:26.480 to transplant
00:56:27.360 a lung
00:56:28.080 or calculate
00:56:29.360 velocity
00:56:30.060 or even how
00:56:31.480 to get from
00:56:32.020 one place
00:56:32.580 to another.
00:56:33.220 It doesn't do
00:56:33.920 that.
00:56:34.240 It's not its job.
00:56:36.200 It's like science
00:56:37.260 is a knife
00:56:38.060 and religion
00:56:38.760 is a spoon.
00:56:40.740 You don't eat
00:56:41.820 steak with a spoon
00:56:43.040 and you don't
00:56:44.140 have soup
00:56:45.400 with a knife.
00:56:46.480 If you did,
00:56:48.500 you would assume
00:56:49.720 the utensils
00:56:50.860 are irreparably
00:56:52.520 broken.
00:56:56.280 That's where we are.
00:56:58.960 You wonder why
00:56:59.960 such useless
00:57:01.180 utensils
00:57:01.840 even exist.
00:57:04.520 If America
00:57:05.620 is facing
00:57:06.200 an energy crisis,
00:57:07.660 we should turn
00:57:08.380 to science
00:57:09.120 and the material
00:57:09.840 world for solutions.
00:57:11.580 But if America
00:57:12.340 is facing
00:57:12.840 a crisis of meaning,
00:57:14.140 then we have
00:57:15.940 to find our
00:57:16.420 answers somewhere
00:57:17.040 else.
00:57:18.400 It is truly
00:57:19.420 a tragedy
00:57:20.040 when this nation
00:57:20.980 belittles
00:57:21.620 the collective
00:57:22.340 function of
00:57:23.200 faith in our
00:57:24.220 society
00:57:24.780 or when they
00:57:25.660 refuse to examine
00:57:26.620 physical realities.
00:57:28.880 It leaves us
00:57:30.020 with only a fork
00:57:31.300 for our soup
00:57:32.160 or a spoon
00:57:33.000 for our steaks.
00:57:35.020 The scientific
00:57:36.260 method
00:57:37.100 cannot produce
00:57:38.500 proper values
00:57:39.860 nor can the
00:57:40.640 Bible teach you
00:57:41.400 how to split
00:57:41.980 an atom.
00:57:42.600 yet we benefit
00:57:44.460 from both
00:57:45.120 of those
00:57:45.540 things.
00:57:47.700 There's
00:57:48.260 archaeological
00:57:48.660 evidence that
00:57:49.660 we may have
00:57:50.340 started believing
00:57:51.000 in the supernatural
00:57:51.860 as early
00:57:52.760 as the
00:57:53.980 Paleolithic
00:57:54.660 period over
00:57:55.880 two and a half
00:57:56.420 million years
00:57:57.060 ago when we
00:57:57.880 buried our
00:57:58.620 dead in what
00:57:59.260 looks like
00:58:00.180 what may have
00:58:01.120 been preparation
00:58:01.820 for something
00:58:02.560 after death.
00:58:04.040 Of course,
00:58:04.680 we don't know
00:58:05.080 for sure,
00:58:06.300 but from what
00:58:07.220 we can study,
00:58:08.180 it seems like
00:58:08.900 humans have
00:58:09.620 been talking
00:58:10.320 about God
00:58:11.180 or gods
00:58:12.180 for a
00:58:12.880 very,
00:58:13.300 very long
00:58:14.120 time.
00:58:16.480 There are
00:58:16.920 evolutionary
00:58:17.480 anthropologists
00:58:18.500 who argue
00:58:19.280 that human
00:58:19.900 beings evolved
00:58:21.240 for belief
00:58:22.460 in God.
00:58:23.700 Listen to
00:58:24.100 this.
00:58:25.600 Evolutionary
00:58:26.400 biologist
00:58:27.080 Bridget Alex
00:58:28.400 wrote in an
00:58:29.460 article in
00:58:29.980 Discover
00:58:30.280 magazine that
00:58:31.120 there are
00:58:31.580 three distinct
00:58:32.580 human traits
00:58:33.620 that make
00:58:34.800 humans ideal
00:58:36.160 candidates for
00:58:37.400 belief in
00:58:38.220 God.
00:58:38.640 We learn
00:58:40.280 by imitation,
00:58:41.380 we infer
00:58:42.560 intentions,
00:58:43.740 and we look
00:58:44.760 for patterns.
00:58:46.140 So let me
00:58:46.820 break those
00:58:47.220 down.
00:58:48.500 Patterns.
00:58:49.240 We see
00:58:49.860 patterns in
00:58:50.500 the cycle
00:58:50.900 of life,
00:58:51.420 from the
00:58:51.740 sun cycles
00:58:52.320 to the
00:58:52.740 seasons to
00:58:53.520 traffic patterns,
00:58:54.680 and those
00:58:55.760 times we say
00:58:56.620 to ourself,
00:58:57.580 oh, I see
00:58:58.080 where this
00:58:58.380 is going.
00:58:59.980 We probably
00:59:00.940 do know
00:59:01.660 where it's
00:59:02.120 going because
00:59:02.900 we recognize
00:59:03.680 the patterns
00:59:04.440 of how it
00:59:05.000 has gone
00:59:05.360 before.
00:59:07.180 Infer
00:59:07.560 intentions.
00:59:09.020 Humans can
00:59:09.520 look at what
00:59:10.000 they see and
00:59:10.800 infer what
00:59:11.700 they don't
00:59:12.180 see.
00:59:13.260 We rely on
00:59:14.480 juries to do
00:59:15.440 this in murder
00:59:16.020 trials, for
00:59:16.580 example.
00:59:17.440 It's a miraculous
00:59:18.240 trait, and we
00:59:19.900 do it all the
00:59:20.700 time.
00:59:21.700 It not only
00:59:22.320 helps us
00:59:22.720 navigate human
00:59:23.680 relationship,
00:59:24.780 it also
00:59:25.520 encourages us
00:59:26.560 to look at
00:59:28.280 the world and
00:59:29.020 infer its
00:59:30.120 intentions,
00:59:31.240 which leads
00:59:32.580 us to
00:59:33.020 consider God.
00:59:35.680 Imitation.
00:59:36.320 If you've
00:59:38.440 ever had the
00:59:38.860 privilege of
00:59:39.340 raising a
00:59:39.760 child, you
00:59:40.300 know, babies
00:59:41.320 learn to
00:59:41.760 walk, talk,
00:59:42.540 and eat just
00:59:43.060 by watching
00:59:43.480 other people
00:59:44.060 and repeating
00:59:44.700 what they
00:59:45.140 do.
00:59:46.160 As we get
00:59:47.020 older, we
00:59:47.580 don't stop
00:59:48.340 imitating.
00:59:49.100 It just gets
00:59:49.660 more complex.
00:59:51.480 This is where
00:59:52.220 the images of
00:59:53.240 Moses and
00:59:55.220 Jesus come
00:59:55.920 in.
00:59:57.140 Imitation was
00:59:57.880 an evolutionary
00:59:58.440 beneficial, it
00:59:59.920 was evolutionarily
01:00:01.000 beneficial because
01:00:02.200 it helped us
01:00:03.180 advance.
01:00:03.820 we didn't
01:00:04.740 have to
01:00:05.140 remake the
01:00:05.740 wheel or
01:00:06.200 rediscover
01:00:06.680 fire with
01:00:07.280 every new
01:00:07.680 human being.
01:00:08.400 We could
01:00:08.680 just imitate
01:00:09.500 whoever and
01:00:10.760 whatever somebody
01:00:11.700 else knew and
01:00:12.560 pick it up where
01:00:13.500 they left off.
01:00:14.420 And in the same
01:00:15.100 vein, if we saw
01:00:16.480 that our
01:00:16.820 ancestors' moral
01:00:17.860 code was
01:00:18.640 working, we
01:00:19.740 just imitated
01:00:20.620 them.
01:00:22.140 But today, we're
01:00:23.660 rejecting inherited
01:00:24.960 wisdom in
01:00:25.740 exchange for
01:00:26.640 change and
01:00:28.120 reimagining.
01:00:29.140 But to just
01:00:31.260 blindly reject
01:00:32.400 our ancestors'
01:00:33.340 ideas without
01:00:34.160 thorough examination
01:00:35.400 is not only
01:00:36.440 foolish, it
01:00:37.760 defies the
01:00:38.940 natural human
01:00:40.060 trait that got
01:00:41.000 us this far.
01:00:43.380 Of course, we
01:00:44.160 don't just
01:00:44.560 imitate each
01:00:45.240 other.
01:00:46.520 We also
01:00:47.400 imitate God, or
01:00:48.840 at least we
01:00:49.260 try to.
01:00:50.040 This is where
01:00:50.640 religion comes in
01:00:51.760 and the important
01:00:52.740 figures.
01:00:54.700 In Islam,
01:00:56.400 who is
01:00:57.620 Muhammad?
01:00:58.000 He was a
01:00:59.840 man with a
01:01:00.420 sword.
01:01:02.120 In Judeo-Western
01:01:04.420 culture, who is
01:01:05.280 Moses and who
01:01:06.080 is Jesus?
01:01:07.460 Did they come
01:01:08.280 with a sword?
01:01:11.740 Jesus, at
01:01:13.040 worst, was
01:01:14.220 just a great
01:01:14.840 man.
01:01:16.540 And people
01:01:17.420 throughout our
01:01:18.680 generations have
01:01:22.160 done their best
01:01:22.760 to imitate the
01:01:23.860 way he lived.
01:01:25.080 The story of
01:01:25.860 his ministry is
01:01:27.000 the perfect
01:01:28.280 imitation.
01:01:31.280 Religious
01:01:31.880 instinct can
01:01:32.900 even be seen
01:01:33.680 now in our
01:01:34.320 brains.
01:01:35.280 There is an
01:01:35.760 entire field
01:01:36.900 dedicated to
01:01:37.840 studying this
01:01:38.500 neurotheology,
01:01:40.340 where the
01:01:40.960 scientific method
01:01:41.820 is applied to
01:01:42.640 study spiritually
01:01:43.720 through our
01:01:45.260 brain scans.
01:01:47.840 Scientists
01:01:48.600 check out the
01:01:49.300 brains of
01:01:49.860 nuns,
01:01:50.960 Sikhs,
01:01:51.800 atheists,
01:01:52.380 and it
01:01:53.180 turns out
01:01:53.580 our brains
01:01:53.920 actually
01:01:54.460 respond to
01:01:55.440 religious
01:01:55.920 rituals like
01:01:56.780 prayer and
01:01:57.480 meditation.
01:01:57.980 It seems
01:01:59.180 either through
01:02:00.240 design or
01:02:01.140 evolution,
01:02:02.840 we are
01:02:04.220 designed to
01:02:06.820 respond to
01:02:07.420 these things.
01:02:08.080 things.
01:02:10.100 You could
01:02:10.840 understand that
01:02:11.360 from a
01:02:11.680 secular
01:02:11.960 worldview.
01:02:13.280 It proposes
01:02:14.040 that our
01:02:14.680 brains have
01:02:15.600 adapted to
01:02:16.440 believing in
01:02:17.160 God over
01:02:19.960 time.
01:02:21.420 Or as a
01:02:22.420 religious person
01:02:23.120 would make
01:02:23.540 sense of that,
01:02:24.160 if God is
01:02:24.980 real, then he
01:02:25.600 designed our
01:02:26.180 brains in a
01:02:27.580 way which we
01:02:28.180 could connect
01:02:28.680 with him.
01:02:30.040 But the
01:02:30.720 neuroscientist
01:02:31.720 Andrew
01:02:32.500 Nurberg wrote,
01:02:33.560 If you
01:02:34.420 contemplate
01:02:35.000 God long
01:02:35.580 enough,
01:02:36.020 something
01:02:36.280 surprisingly
01:02:36.920 happens in
01:02:37.680 the brain.
01:02:38.660 Neural
01:02:38.960 functioning
01:02:39.560 begins to
01:02:40.300 change.
01:02:41.400 Different
01:02:41.700 circuits become
01:02:42.700 activated,
01:02:43.700 while others
01:02:44.440 become
01:02:44.860 deactivated.
01:02:46.680 New
01:02:46.880 dendrites are
01:02:47.660 formed,
01:02:48.420 new synaptic
01:02:49.440 connections are
01:02:50.300 made, and
01:02:51.100 the brain
01:02:51.480 becomes more
01:02:52.160 sensitive to
01:02:52.980 subtle realms
01:02:54.040 of experience.
01:02:55.500 Perceptions
01:02:56.040 alter,
01:02:56.940 beliefs begin
01:02:57.660 to change,
01:02:58.780 and if God
01:02:59.520 has meaning
01:03:00.060 for you,
01:03:00.540 then God
01:03:00.980 becomes
01:03:01.600 neurologically
01:03:02.640 real.
01:03:04.320 Listening to
01:03:05.020 him in
01:03:05.280 long form,
01:03:05.940 it doesn't
01:03:06.280 seem like he
01:03:06.780 is proposing
01:03:07.300 that faith
01:03:07.920 can be
01:03:08.220 explained away
01:03:08.760 as a trick
01:03:09.180 of the mind.
01:03:09.700 Rather,
01:03:10.360 he is
01:03:10.840 observing that
01:03:11.500 the human
01:03:11.940 brain responds
01:03:12.960 to faith as
01:03:14.080 if it's part
01:03:14.940 of its job.
01:03:17.840 Knowing that
01:03:18.600 tells us
01:03:19.020 something about
01:03:19.600 who we are.
01:03:23.060 That's pretty
01:03:23.700 amazing when you
01:03:24.280 think about it
01:03:24.740 from biology
01:03:25.360 to our brains
01:03:26.080 and believing
01:03:27.260 in God has
01:03:28.020 played a huge
01:03:28.540 role in shaping
01:03:29.360 the human race
01:03:30.000 for a very
01:03:30.440 long time,
01:03:31.040 but now we're
01:03:31.680 becoming less
01:03:32.320 and less
01:03:32.620 interested in
01:03:33.540 God or
01:03:34.220 religion.
01:03:37.180 Have we
01:03:37.820 evolved to
01:03:38.300 keep up
01:03:38.700 with a lack
01:03:39.980 of faith,
01:03:40.720 or are we
01:03:41.480 going to be
01:03:41.820 left with
01:03:42.260 biological and
01:03:43.200 neurological
01:03:43.720 processes with
01:03:45.480 nowhere to
01:03:46.140 channel them?
01:03:48.180 Thinking of
01:03:48.980 humans as
01:03:49.580 broader society
01:03:50.580 over a long
01:03:51.100 period of time,
01:03:51.840 should we be
01:03:52.480 worried about
01:03:53.300 basically quitting
01:03:54.620 God cold
01:03:55.580 turkey?
01:03:56.000 The answer
01:03:57.860 is yes.
01:04:00.760 But is it
01:04:01.660 God or
01:04:02.180 religion that
01:04:03.060 we need?
01:04:03.480 And how
01:04:03.780 much religion
01:04:04.560 do we need?
01:04:05.580 And what
01:04:06.020 is religion,
01:04:07.380 by the way?
01:04:09.040 We try to
01:04:09.760 answer that
01:04:10.380 next.
01:04:11.260 If your
01:04:24.120 expenses have
01:04:24.800 increased because
01:04:25.620 of inflation,
01:04:26.780 and believe
01:04:27.260 me, they
01:04:28.300 have, the
01:04:29.440 amount that
01:04:29.860 you need to
01:04:30.520 be putting
01:04:30.920 away needs
01:04:31.760 to increase
01:04:32.420 as well.
01:04:33.220 Otherwise, you're
01:04:33.940 going to come
01:04:34.260 up short in a
01:04:34.960 financial emergency,
01:04:36.060 and that's
01:04:36.360 something you
01:04:37.200 just can't let
01:04:37.820 happen.
01:04:38.680 You've got to
01:04:39.020 stay ahead of
01:04:39.540 inflation.
01:04:40.320 You should be
01:04:40.800 doing it by
01:04:41.380 putting your
01:04:41.780 money in high
01:04:42.520 yield savings
01:04:43.280 accounts, if
01:04:43.980 they exist,
01:04:45.080 investments that
01:04:45.920 make sense, or
01:04:46.860 just to stay
01:04:47.780 ahead, just cut
01:04:48.720 expenses.
01:04:50.640 I'm sure you're
01:04:51.480 discussing all
01:04:52.680 the things you
01:04:53.180 can do at home,
01:04:53.880 but may I
01:04:54.960 suggest you talk
01:04:55.820 about your
01:04:56.260 mortgage and a
01:04:57.620 consolidation loan
01:04:59.000 to get out of
01:05:00.020 those high interest
01:05:00.960 credit cards?
01:05:01.840 You're probably
01:05:02.800 paying close to
01:05:04.180 20% interest,
01:05:06.080 and that interest
01:05:07.120 rate,
01:05:07.580 hasn't even
01:05:08.640 begun to go
01:05:09.300 up yet.

01:05:37.580 My dad never
01:05:50.500 liked to talk to
01:05:51.160 me about God.
01:05:53.120 He would talk
01:05:54.580 to me about
01:05:55.480 first things,
01:05:59.520 not God.
01:06:01.360 God created the
01:06:05.540 earth.
01:06:06.000 Well, that means
01:06:06.920 all kinds of
01:06:07.400 different things
01:06:07.820 to different
01:06:08.200 people.
01:06:09.860 What came
01:06:10.620 first?
01:06:11.200 What was
01:06:11.460 first cause?
01:06:12.840 What caused
01:06:14.000 it to be
01:06:14.440 created?
01:06:15.600 What caused
01:06:16.460 that to be
01:06:17.200 created?
01:06:19.120 Language is
01:06:19.920 really a very
01:06:21.440 difficult thing
01:06:22.020 to navigate,
01:06:22.680 especially when
01:06:23.240 you get into
01:06:23.680 religion or
01:06:24.260 God.
01:06:25.240 There's many
01:06:25.960 connotations of
01:06:26.920 the word
01:06:27.800 religion, and
01:06:28.580 most of them
01:06:29.040 are negative
01:06:29.640 now in America.
01:06:30.600 It's popular
01:06:31.640 among the
01:06:32.260 young, hip,
01:06:33.380 well-connected
01:06:34.100 to shake
01:06:34.500 off the
01:06:35.000 dusty title
01:06:35.680 of religious
01:06:36.280 in exchange
01:06:37.680 for the
01:06:38.160 less tainted
01:06:38.840 title of
01:06:39.620 spiritual.
01:06:41.100 But the
01:06:42.000 word religious
01:06:42.920 as it was
01:06:44.040 meant in the
01:06:44.540 past may be
01:06:45.700 the key to
01:06:46.300 understanding
01:06:46.860 the chaos
01:06:47.920 of our
01:06:48.960 modern culture.
01:06:51.120 Although some
01:06:52.060 may say that
01:06:52.620 America suffers
01:06:53.400 from a lack
01:06:54.240 of religion,
01:06:55.260 I say
01:06:55.760 exactly the
01:06:57.200 opposite.
01:06:57.740 America today
01:06:59.700 is hyper
01:07:00.920 religious, and
01:07:02.540 that is our
01:07:03.880 downfall.
01:07:06.040 We all have
01:07:06.960 very different
01:07:07.560 experiences with
01:07:08.680 the word
01:07:09.340 religion, both
01:07:10.060 positive and
01:07:10.660 negative.
01:07:11.940 You have to
01:07:12.860 think of
01:07:13.300 religion as a
01:07:14.460 tool.
01:07:15.120 It can be
01:07:15.520 used for
01:07:15.920 good, as
01:07:17.020 it has, or
01:07:17.780 it can be
01:07:18.160 used for
01:07:18.840 evil, as
01:07:19.960 it also
01:07:20.560 has.
01:07:22.140 Emile
01:07:22.440 Durkheim,
01:07:23.280 French
01:07:23.660 sociologist
01:07:24.500 who is
01:07:25.060 cited as one
01:07:25.900 of the
01:07:26.100 principal
01:07:26.480 architects,
01:07:27.740 of modern
01:07:28.360 social
01:07:28.780 science,
01:07:29.620 defined
01:07:30.160 religion as
01:07:31.240 a unified
01:07:33.000 system of
01:07:33.980 beliefs and
01:07:34.860 practices
01:07:35.440 relative to
01:07:36.720 sacred things,
01:07:38.440 that is to
01:07:39.020 say, things
01:07:39.920 set apart
01:07:40.780 and things
01:07:42.300 forbidden,
01:07:43.520 beliefs and
01:07:44.300 practices which
01:07:45.380 unite in
01:07:46.820 one single
01:07:47.640 moral community
01:07:48.820 called church.
01:07:50.560 Now, he
01:07:50.940 says church,
01:07:51.800 but he wasn't
01:07:52.300 talking about
01:07:53.200 Christianity.
01:07:54.100 Church is kind
01:07:54.700 of a stand-in
01:07:55.400 word for a
01:07:56.180 religious community.
01:07:57.740 which is a
01:07:59.120 crucial part of
01:08:00.180 the definition
01:08:00.700 of religion
01:08:01.240 itself, a
01:08:02.200 community.
01:08:03.380 There are other
01:08:04.120 definitions of
01:08:04.860 religion, but
01:08:05.480 for the sake of
01:08:06.060 argument, let's
01:08:06.740 use this one.
01:08:08.500 For it to be a
01:08:09.360 religion, according
01:08:10.580 to Durkheim, it
01:08:11.960 has to be a
01:08:12.460 unified system of
01:08:13.440 beliefs and
01:08:14.060 practices relative
01:08:15.200 to sacred
01:08:16.060 things, things
01:08:17.320 set apart and
01:08:18.080 forbidden, beliefs
01:08:19.380 and practices
01:08:20.200 which unite.
01:08:21.340 So, for it to
01:08:24.220 be a religion, you
01:08:24.960 have to have
01:08:25.420 things that are
01:08:26.340 sacred and
01:08:27.740 things that are
01:08:28.420 forbidden and
01:08:30.880 things that you
01:08:31.860 do.
01:08:34.140 And both of
01:08:34.960 these things should
01:08:35.540 work in conjunction
01:08:36.400 to bind a
01:08:37.460 community together.
01:08:39.080 This will help
01:08:40.360 you understand the
01:08:41.600 entire world
01:08:42.740 today.
01:08:43.300 Now, understand,
01:08:46.780 this is how, even
01:08:47.680 though there is no
01:08:48.340 deity in
01:08:49.560 Buddhism, Buddhism
01:08:51.320 is still considered
01:08:52.320 a religion, just
01:08:53.200 the same as
01:08:53.820 Islam, Judaism
01:08:54.920 or Christianity.
01:08:56.920 Buddhists practice
01:08:58.460 separate, out of
01:09:00.680 the holy from
01:09:02.600 the profane, they
01:09:04.080 create rituals
01:09:05.160 based on that
01:09:06.120 separation, and
01:09:07.600 that unifies a
01:09:08.720 community of
01:09:09.440 followers.
01:09:10.580 Thus, we call
01:09:11.700 it a religion.
01:09:14.300 So, with that as
01:09:15.440 the definition of
01:09:16.120 religion, I find
01:09:17.400 it hard to believe
01:09:18.200 that most
01:09:18.720 Americans are
01:09:20.480 truly not
01:09:21.640 religious.
01:09:23.240 I think we're
01:09:24.280 very religious.
01:09:26.420 It's just that
01:09:27.180 many have not
01:09:28.040 clearly identified
01:09:29.380 what their
01:09:29.920 religion really
01:09:30.720 is.
01:09:32.440 If you want to
01:09:33.360 understand America
01:09:34.000 today, instead of
01:09:35.100 thinking of our
01:09:35.940 culture as
01:09:36.580 non-religious,
01:09:37.880 think of our
01:09:38.580 culture as
01:09:39.180 hyper-religious
01:09:39.900 religious, as
01:09:41.820 if religious
01:09:42.560 inclinations are
01:09:43.560 seeping into
01:09:44.540 part of our
01:09:45.180 society, in many
01:09:46.560 ways, Americans
01:09:47.420 suffer from
01:09:49.140 religious
01:09:50.000 inclination,
01:09:51.880 behaving like
01:09:53.260 trains off the
01:09:54.080 track.
01:09:55.940 Our culture
01:09:56.580 has
01:09:58.420 minimalized the
01:10:00.360 traditional
01:10:01.540 religion without
01:10:03.520 accounting for
01:10:04.660 our natural
01:10:05.560 religious instinct,
01:10:07.060 religion, and
01:10:08.220 so that instinct
01:10:09.180 has to go
01:10:09.960 somewhere.
01:10:11.400 Where does it
01:10:11.740 go?
01:10:14.020 Politics is now
01:10:15.080 religion.
01:10:15.840 Race is a
01:10:16.460 religion.
01:10:17.160 Gender is a
01:10:18.040 religion.
01:10:19.260 Whether you
01:10:20.000 vax or mask is a
01:10:21.380 religion.
01:10:22.100 It's either sacred
01:10:22.960 or profane.
01:10:24.360 Religion is
01:10:25.040 everywhere.
01:10:26.460 If you consider
01:10:27.440 every moment,
01:10:28.660 every political
01:10:29.420 belief as a
01:10:30.940 religious struggle,
01:10:32.100 it will help you
01:10:33.340 understand why we
01:10:34.960 seem to be behaving
01:10:36.080 so irrationally,
01:10:37.580 why facts no
01:10:38.680 longer seem to
01:10:39.520 matter, because
01:10:40.980 everything is our
01:10:42.200 religion.
01:10:44.300 Jordan Peterson
01:10:45.320 said that
01:10:45.860 ideologies function
01:10:47.220 as crippled
01:10:47.980 religions.
01:10:48.940 They have the
01:10:49.580 same kind of
01:10:50.360 power, but not
01:10:51.140 the level of
01:10:52.260 symbolic complexity.
01:10:54.760 The ideas
01:10:55.540 haven't been
01:10:56.080 tested and
01:10:56.800 refined across
01:10:57.620 time, so they
01:10:58.340 usually aren't as
01:10:59.080 good, but they
01:11:00.020 are still very
01:11:00.820 powerful.
01:11:03.140 There are
01:11:03.880 ideologies in
01:11:04.800 the United
01:11:05.140 States that
01:11:05.800 have taken a
01:11:06.500 religious place
01:11:07.600 in our
01:11:08.040 culture.
01:11:11.520 So if we
01:11:12.420 are religious,
01:11:14.600 who and what
01:11:16.600 is our God?
01:11:21.240 God could be
01:11:22.120 money, politics,
01:11:23.500 fame, social
01:11:24.160 justice, or
01:11:25.640 anything that
01:11:26.200 consumes your
01:11:27.040 focus.
01:11:28.040 Whatever wakes
01:11:28.720 you up in the
01:11:29.200 morning and
01:11:29.600 keeps you
01:11:29.940 awake at
01:11:30.360 night, that's
01:11:30.900 likely your
01:11:31.520 God, good
01:11:32.100 or bad.
01:11:33.540 In that
01:11:34.280 way, it
01:11:35.800 isn't that
01:11:36.280 modern America
01:11:37.380 is godless,
01:11:38.720 it's that we
01:11:39.260 don't know or
01:11:40.260 at least haven't
01:11:41.160 named which
01:11:42.840 God we
01:11:43.340 serve.
01:11:44.900 If you
01:11:45.540 don't know
01:11:45.940 which God
01:11:46.400 you serve or
01:11:47.080 which religion
01:11:47.680 you follow,
01:11:48.420 it isn't
01:11:48.860 because you
01:11:49.300 aren't
01:11:49.560 practicing in
01:11:51.220 that ancient
01:11:51.960 evolved human
01:11:53.020 practice, it
01:11:54.540 means you
01:11:55.340 aren't really
01:11:55.800 in control of
01:11:56.640 it, which
01:11:57.740 makes you
01:11:58.220 vulnerable to
01:11:59.000 anyone's
01:11:59.980 religion or
01:12:01.160 anyone's
01:12:01.980 God.
01:12:04.780 Emile
01:12:05.580 Durkheim
01:12:06.080 thought religion
01:12:07.080 was eternal,
01:12:08.160 but the
01:12:09.460 form it took
01:12:10.260 could change
01:12:11.260 over time,
01:12:11.960 that human
01:12:12.340 beings'
01:12:12.800 religious instincts
01:12:13.860 may be
01:12:14.720 channeled in
01:12:15.420 wholly new
01:12:16.300 directions from
01:12:17.120 one generation
01:12:17.920 to the next.
01:12:18.860 The old gods
01:12:19.920 would die and
01:12:20.840 the new gods
01:12:21.600 would take their
01:12:22.180 place, and this
01:12:23.100 happens with
01:12:24.320 every human
01:12:25.300 being.
01:12:27.080 Reminder, this
01:12:28.520 is God, in
01:12:30.160 air quotes, God
01:12:31.580 with a lower
01:12:32.240 G, as the
01:12:33.820 object of your
01:12:34.980 worship.
01:12:36.220 You can make
01:12:36.760 any person,
01:12:38.000 place, thing,
01:12:38.880 idea a God.
01:12:41.360 And Durkheim
01:12:41.800 noted that God
01:12:43.400 changes from
01:12:44.140 generation to
01:12:44.840 generation or
01:12:45.700 could.
01:12:46.060 So if the
01:12:48.620 God of
01:12:48.900 Abraham, Isaac
01:12:49.640 and Jacob
01:12:50.240 was America's
01:12:51.540 God during
01:12:52.020 our founding
01:12:52.500 generation and
01:12:53.440 for a very
01:12:54.020 long time, as
01:12:56.160 we see the
01:12:57.380 effects of
01:12:58.740 immorality, of
01:13:01.520 a lack of
01:13:02.400 common sense,
01:13:03.820 of take it on
01:13:04.680 faith and never
01:13:05.580 argue about it,
01:13:06.540 or you're
01:13:07.000 punished, who
01:13:09.260 is America's
01:13:10.360 God now?
01:13:11.100 In the
01:13:13.460 Bible, there's
01:13:13.920 a recurring
01:13:14.480 false God in
01:13:15.800 the Hebrews
01:13:17.020 neighboring
01:13:17.560 lands called
01:13:19.880 Baal.
01:13:24.180 I think he
01:13:25.120 may be
01:13:25.460 America's
01:13:25.960 God, at
01:13:26.940 least in a
01:13:27.540 conceptual way,
01:13:28.720 more in a
01:13:29.820 minute.
01:13:31.340 Let me tell
01:13:32.160 you about
01:13:32.420 LifeLock.
01:13:33.360 Tax season
01:13:34.160 is always a
01:13:35.380 crazy time,
01:13:36.140 but it can
01:13:37.000 be even more
01:13:37.560 stressful if you
01:13:38.240 fall victim to
01:13:38.920 fake IRS
01:13:39.620 calls.
01:13:40.520 Listen, if
01:13:41.080 you're at
01:13:41.440 home and
01:13:41.880 the IRS
01:13:42.280 calls you
01:13:42.960 and says,
01:13:43.620 you need to
01:13:44.580 wire us this
01:13:45.300 money, you
01:13:46.400 need to write
01:13:46.960 us a personal
01:13:47.700 check right
01:13:48.280 now, or we
01:13:50.140 need information
01:13:50.900 on your bank
01:13:51.560 accounts, ask
01:13:52.660 them to show
01:13:53.260 up, please.
01:13:54.900 Show you a
01:13:55.500 badge, because
01:13:57.000 that's not what
01:13:57.560 the IRS does.
01:13:58.680 Really, the
01:13:59.460 IRS is much
01:14:00.320 more intimidating
01:14:00.960 than just a
01:14:01.600 phone call.
01:14:02.620 The IRS does
01:14:03.400 not need to
01:14:04.140 scam you.
01:14:04.920 They've been
01:14:05.180 taking your
01:14:05.720 money by force
01:14:06.760 pretty much at
01:14:07.620 gunpoint for a
01:14:08.780 very long time.
01:14:10.500 It's important
01:14:11.140 to understand
01:14:11.720 how cybercrime
01:14:12.660 and identity
01:14:13.420 theft are
01:14:13.960 affecting our
01:14:14.640 lives.
01:14:14.940 Every day, we
01:14:15.620 put our
01:14:15.920 information out
01:14:16.700 at risk on
01:14:17.460 the internet, and
01:14:18.480 there are people
01:14:18.980 that are working
01:14:19.540 24-7 to take
01:14:21.040 that money and
01:14:21.960 all of that
01:14:22.940 credibility away
01:14:24.000 from you.
01:14:25.120 Now, nobody
01:14:25.460 can protect all
01:14:26.460 identity theft
01:14:27.720 and catch all
01:14:28.380 the bad guys.
01:14:29.260 They can't
01:14:30.060 monitor all
01:14:30.580 transactions at
01:14:31.380 all businesses,
01:14:32.320 but you can
01:14:33.360 help protect
01:14:34.160 what's yours

01:15:05.280 The Glenn Beck
01:15:06.400 You may hear
01:15:10.140 the word
01:15:10.700 Baal.
01:15:12.100 It's actually
01:15:12.900 pronounced Baal.
01:15:14.680 I'll explain
01:15:15.280 in a minute.
01:15:16.060 But it is
01:15:17.020 describing an
01:15:17.700 ancient pagan
01:15:18.460 deity.
01:15:19.760 And in many
01:15:20.180 ways, you'd be
01:15:21.000 right if that's
01:15:21.580 what you think,
01:15:22.140 but the word
01:15:22.820 Baal or Baal
01:15:24.200 is not only
01:15:26.320 describing a
01:15:26.980 single god,
01:15:28.020 but a pattern
01:15:28.860 of belief.
01:15:29.860 This is important.
01:15:31.540 There are
01:15:31.880 multiple documented
01:15:33.080 Baals.
01:15:34.420 It's best to
01:15:35.720 think of
01:15:36.200 Baal or Baal
01:15:37.680 as a representation
01:15:38.660 of idolatry
01:15:40.180 with multiple
01:15:41.460 subcategories
01:15:42.860 falling underneath
01:15:43.580 it.
01:15:44.400 Idolatry just
01:15:45.360 means worshipping
01:15:46.240 the wrong god
01:15:47.500 or probably a
01:15:49.080 better way of
01:15:49.480 saying it is
01:15:50.160 you're devoted
01:15:51.700 to the wrong
01:15:52.380 principles.
01:15:52.940 You're basing your
01:15:54.100 life on a lie
01:15:55.520 or your priorities
01:15:57.580 are out of whack.
01:15:59.260 You're going the
01:15:59.780 wrong way,
01:16:00.440 missing the mark,
01:16:01.320 aiming the wrong
01:16:02.100 direction.
01:16:03.100 Got it?
01:16:04.740 Baal is a
01:16:05.600 Hebrew word
01:16:06.600 that basically
01:16:08.000 means owner
01:16:08.880 or master.
01:16:10.120 I don't know
01:16:10.420 if I can say
01:16:11.040 that.
01:16:11.240 Nope, it's not a
01:16:12.020 real estate
01:16:12.480 transaction, so I
01:16:13.520 can use the word
01:16:14.520 master here.
01:16:15.380 It implies
01:16:17.060 exactly what
01:16:18.100 master might
01:16:19.260 mean.
01:16:19.860 In this case, it
01:16:20.580 does mean making
01:16:22.320 you into a
01:16:23.120 slave.
01:16:23.760 It implies
01:16:24.760 complete ownership
01:16:26.020 in a very strong
01:16:27.200 sense.
01:16:27.700 I love the
01:16:31.600 oral tradition
01:16:32.520 of Judaism.
01:16:34.760 I love
01:16:35.600 Hebrew
01:16:36.680 because not
01:16:38.720 only do the
01:16:39.180 words have
01:16:39.740 meanings, but
01:16:40.580 the letters
01:16:41.200 within the
01:16:41.940 words also
01:16:42.800 have meanings
01:16:43.620 and they
01:16:44.080 create a
01:16:44.820 word picture.
01:16:47.080 Also, very
01:16:48.180 important words
01:16:48.960 have the
01:16:49.860 opposite meaning
01:16:50.940 if you read
01:16:51.600 them backwards.
01:16:53.300 This is,
01:16:54.080 it's as if
01:16:55.180 G-O-O-D
01:16:56.520 meant good
01:16:57.680 and D-O-O-G
01:16:59.800 meant evil, but
01:17:02.200 English is not
01:17:03.400 God's language.
01:17:04.400 It's not that
01:17:04.920 complex.
01:17:06.480 So since the
01:17:07.460 Hebrew alphabet
01:17:08.520 has no values,
01:17:10.200 the letters that
01:17:11.340 comprise the
01:17:12.220 word Baal are
01:17:14.860 consonants,
01:17:16.680 Bet and
01:17:18.020 Lamed.
01:17:21.700 We call
01:17:22.760 them B and
01:17:23.220 L.
01:17:25.440 So the
01:17:26.600 opposite of
01:17:27.620 Baal,
01:17:29.160 B-L,
01:17:30.680 is L-B,
01:17:33.320 which the
01:17:34.320 Hebrew word
01:17:35.200 is essentially
01:17:36.860 whole heart.
01:17:38.600 The word
01:17:39.360 Baal,
01:17:40.120 B-L,
01:17:40.640 means the
01:17:41.260 exact opposite.
01:17:43.080 It's the
01:17:43.540 opposite of
01:17:44.520 all heart.
01:17:45.600 It's
01:17:45.920 valueless
01:17:46.820 and nihilistic.
01:17:49.320 The word
01:17:49.980 Baal is
01:17:50.920 describing a
01:17:51.560 belief system
01:17:52.220 that says
01:17:52.740 I am the
01:17:54.140 center of
01:17:54.960 a valueless
01:17:55.900 existence.
01:17:57.940 That is the
01:17:59.000 picture the
01:17:59.480 word is
01:17:59.940 painting and
01:18:01.420 the mental
01:18:01.780 framework or
01:18:02.480 belief system
01:18:03.320 that is being
01:18:04.260 baked into
01:18:04.940 our culture.
01:18:06.900 I am the
01:18:08.160 center of a
01:18:09.300 valueless
01:18:10.020 existence.
01:18:10.740 Does that
01:18:11.560 not describe
01:18:12.280 America?
01:18:12.780 Our modern
01:18:15.140 pitfall is
01:18:16.000 believing or
01:18:16.920 acting as if
01:18:17.700 we believe
01:18:18.240 that each
01:18:18.920 of us is
01:18:19.560 the God
01:18:20.140 of the
01:18:20.520 world without
01:18:21.040 meaning.
01:18:21.680 A world
01:18:22.320 where there
01:18:22.680 is no
01:18:23.140 truth beyond
01:18:23.920 our own
01:18:24.860 personal
01:18:25.540 experiences.
01:18:27.360 A world
01:18:27.860 without real
01:18:28.620 value outside
01:18:29.580 where each
01:18:30.660 of us
01:18:31.220 personally
01:18:32.440 assign that
01:18:33.360 value.
01:18:34.200 Each of
01:18:34.780 us is
01:18:35.120 encouraged to
01:18:35.780 be the
01:18:36.120 God of a
01:18:37.400 meaningless
01:18:37.860 reality.
01:18:38.780 We are
01:18:40.720 increasingly
01:18:41.460 embracing a
01:18:42.420 subjective
01:18:42.960 understanding of
01:18:43.780 truth and
01:18:44.340 goodness and
01:18:44.960 beauty.
01:18:45.740 We are at
01:18:46.220 war with
01:18:46.900 each other
01:18:47.380 like the
01:18:48.240 gods of
01:18:48.860 ancient
01:18:49.280 myths.
01:18:50.620 We
01:18:50.760 determine the
01:18:51.700 value of
01:18:52.260 beliefs by
01:18:52.860 force and
01:18:53.760 coercion
01:18:54.440 because we
01:18:55.380 believe there
01:18:56.240 is no
01:18:56.760 objective
01:18:57.240 truth, no
01:18:58.240 real beauty,
01:18:59.220 no goodness.
01:19:00.040 Our values
01:19:00.740 are determined
01:19:01.380 by a court
01:19:02.000 of public
01:19:02.480 opinion rather
01:19:03.720 than given
01:19:04.280 to us by
01:19:04.940 God or
01:19:05.560 even inherited
01:19:06.540 from the
01:19:07.460 wisdom of
01:19:07.940 the past.
01:19:09.620 The court
01:19:10.400 of public
01:19:10.800 opinion is
01:19:11.500 an unbridled
01:19:12.340 and emotionally
01:19:12.980 volatile
01:19:13.560 democracy.
01:19:15.400 It doesn't
01:19:15.780 matter what
01:19:16.240 the facts
01:19:16.740 of a case
01:19:17.260 are.
01:19:17.900 Truth is
01:19:18.360 not the
01:19:18.860 point.
01:19:19.520 Truth is
01:19:19.920 subjective,
01:19:21.260 thus dead.
01:19:22.200 But my
01:19:22.840 truth is
01:19:24.140 worth defending
01:19:24.800 to the
01:19:25.160 death.
01:19:26.400 And that's
01:19:26.820 why misgendering
01:19:27.760 someone is
01:19:28.520 described now
01:19:29.180 as violence
01:19:30.020 because it's
01:19:30.700 an attack
01:19:31.320 on the
01:19:32.040 only real
01:19:32.920 meaning left
01:19:33.720 in the
01:19:34.020 world,
01:19:34.420 which,
01:19:34.880 according to
01:19:35.360 our culture
01:19:35.840 now,
01:19:36.460 is what I
01:19:37.180 decide is
01:19:38.420 meaningful.
01:19:40.700 This is
01:19:41.520 how the
01:19:42.040 spirit of
01:19:42.740 idolatry,
01:19:43.760 the spirit
01:19:44.260 of Baal,
01:19:45.300 is manifesting
01:19:46.600 today.
01:19:48.600 This new
01:19:49.440 way we
01:19:50.700 look at the
01:19:51.540 world is
01:19:52.060 spiritual.
01:19:52.760 It is not
01:19:53.220 material.
01:19:54.040 It is
01:19:54.580 religious,
01:19:55.520 or it is
01:19:56.660 insanity.
01:19:59.080 When someone
01:19:59.920 is driving
01:20:00.460 alone in
01:20:00.920 their car
01:20:01.240 with a
01:20:01.620 mask on,
01:20:03.040 that's not
01:20:03.880 a decision
01:20:04.420 based on
01:20:05.000 logic,
01:20:05.680 that's
01:20:05.940 based on
01:20:07.400 faith and
01:20:08.380 following your
01:20:09.280 spiritual
01:20:09.880 leaders.
01:20:10.740 When a man
01:20:11.340 declares himself
01:20:12.200 a woman and
01:20:13.240 the culture
01:20:13.660 clamors to
01:20:14.400 affirm him,
01:20:15.240 that's not
01:20:15.900 science.
01:20:16.960 There is no
01:20:17.480 material justification.
01:20:18.560 It is based on
01:20:19.880 faith of a new
01:20:21.240 religion.
01:20:22.340 When it's widely
01:20:23.520 accepted and
01:20:24.400 repeated that
01:20:25.080 racism is the
01:20:26.200 connective tissue
01:20:27.160 of modern
01:20:28.200 American society
01:20:29.480 without requiring
01:20:30.660 the facts to
01:20:31.640 back this
01:20:32.280 claim up,
01:20:33.440 then what we
01:20:35.340 are dealing
01:20:35.800 with is a
01:20:36.600 strongly held
01:20:37.440 system of
01:20:38.860 beliefs,
01:20:40.580 a religion.
01:20:46.600 When the
01:20:47.460 abortion debate
01:20:48.220 no longer
01:20:48.940 centers on the
01:20:49.760 question,
01:20:50.500 is the
01:20:52.080 baby alive,
01:20:54.720 but instead
01:20:55.940 degrades into
01:20:56.920 a discussion of
01:20:57.640 the relative
01:20:58.120 value of that
01:20:59.900 baby's life,
01:21:00.740 in comparison
01:21:02.500 to the
01:21:03.220 burden of
01:21:04.100 the mother,
01:21:04.760 then we know
01:21:05.700 our culture
01:21:06.300 has given
01:21:06.960 itself over
01:21:07.920 to valueless,
01:21:10.020 godless
01:21:10.480 understanding
01:21:11.200 of the world.
01:21:12.700 Or worse,
01:21:14.160 we see
01:21:14.880 ourselves as
01:21:16.240 God.
01:21:18.860 The battle
01:21:20.020 of our time
01:21:20.820 is spiritual.
01:21:24.460 It's not
01:21:25.520 material.
01:21:26.800 It is a
01:21:28.420 battle of
01:21:29.200 belief.
01:21:30.740 When you
01:21:31.780 start
01:21:32.220 understanding
01:21:33.040 that woke
01:21:33.880 ism is
01:21:35.180 a religion,
01:21:36.460 not a
01:21:38.700 political
01:21:40.120 philosophy,
01:21:41.220 a religion
01:21:42.080 that will
01:21:44.080 punish all
01:21:44.820 those that
01:21:46.520 don't believe,
01:21:48.520 you will
01:21:48.960 understand we
01:21:49.620 are being
01:21:49.960 dragged back
01:21:50.740 to the dark
01:21:51.340 ages.
01:21:52.580 And as we
01:21:52.960 devolve into
01:21:53.600 a culture that
01:21:54.260 accepts each
01:21:55.080 of us as
01:21:56.740 a kind of
01:21:57.380 demigod of
01:21:58.320 our own
01:21:58.780 reality,
01:21:59.820 how could
01:22:01.080 the entire
01:22:01.560 foundation of
01:22:02.220 our nation
01:22:03.180 not fracture
01:22:04.540 at the
01:22:04.920 seams?
01:22:07.000 Society is
01:22:07.920 fracturing over
01:22:08.580 the most
01:22:08.900 central problem,
01:22:10.000 who do we
01:22:10.640 serve?
01:22:12.620 And tomorrow,
01:22:14.240 I explore
01:22:15.180 what and
01:22:17.200 who I believe
01:22:18.120 America's God
01:22:19.040 has become,
01:22:20.260 the cult
01:22:20.900 of woke-ism
01:22:21.960 tomorrow.
01:22:22.960 We've got no room
01:22:43.820 to compromise.
01:22:47.360 We've got to
01:22:48.300 stand together,
01:22:49.460 it's the
01:22:49.780 chorus of night.
01:22:53.560 Stand up
01:22:54.520 straight and
01:22:55.200 hold the
01:22:55.860 line.
01:22:58.680 It's a
01:22:59.680 new day
01:23:00.580 on time
01:23:01.220 to rise.
01:23:05.120 What you
01:23:06.040 are about
01:23:06.480 to hear
01:23:07.000 is the
01:23:07.600 fusion of
01:23:08.120 entertainment
01:23:08.680 and enlightenment.
01:23:11.020 This is
01:23:11.760 the Glenn
01:23:12.760 Back
01:23:13.080 program.
01:23:16.040 So yesterday
01:23:17.080 we found out
01:23:17.960 that our
01:23:18.620 inflation rate
01:23:19.360 is 8.5%,
01:23:21.540 but the
01:23:23.400 Biden strategy
01:23:24.400 of blame it
01:23:24.980 on Putin
01:23:25.500 is now
01:23:26.580 working,
01:23:27.180 according to
01:23:27.600 the latest
01:23:28.000 poll.
01:23:28.860 Let me
01:23:29.040 throw up
01:23:29.620 a chart
01:23:32.120 here on
01:23:32.940 inflation.
01:23:34.320 If you
01:23:34.680 see CPI
01:23:36.240 and core
01:23:36.740 inflation,
01:23:38.720 gee,
01:23:39.260 that line
01:23:39.760 starts to go
01:23:40.420 almost straight
01:23:41.100 up right
01:23:41.900 at the
01:23:43.200 inauguration
01:23:46.260 of Joe
01:23:47.460 Biden.
01:23:48.740 Hmm,
01:23:49.240 we were at
01:23:49.880 under 2%,
01:23:51.320 he's inaugurated
01:23:52.860 and we're at
01:23:53.640 8.5%.
01:23:55.260 Gee,
01:23:55.720 let's look
01:23:56.740 into this.
01:23:57.580 And is that
01:23:58.020 really what's
01:23:58.980 going on?
01:23:59.480 Is that
01:23:59.720 really the
01:24:00.320 number?
01:24:01.480 Carol Roth
01:24:01.980 joins us
01:24:02.560 in 60
01:24:03.120 seconds.
01:24:07.380 Okay,
01:24:08.020 one of the
01:24:08.480 things that
01:24:08.860 is going to
01:24:09.140 go up
01:24:09.640 dramatically
01:24:10.440 is your
01:24:11.040 credit card
01:24:11.560 bill.
01:24:12.140 They can
01:24:12.640 raise the
01:24:13.100 rates on
01:24:13.480 your credit
01:24:13.880 card bill.
01:24:14.500 The average
01:24:15.020 rate right
01:24:15.520 now is
01:24:15.880 about 19%.
01:24:17.500 19%.
01:24:19.660 Some cards
01:24:20.880 have it as
01:24:21.280 high as
01:24:21.680 24%.
01:24:22.660 You're not
01:24:23.120 going to be
01:24:23.400 able to pay
01:24:23.800 these things
01:24:24.300 off if that
01:24:25.320 just keeps
01:24:25.760 going up and
01:24:26.280 up and up.
01:24:27.680 So,
01:24:28.240 what I want
01:24:28.780 you to do
01:24:29.100 is I want
01:24:29.460 you to call
01:24:29.840 American
01:24:30.240 Financing
01:24:30.880 right now.
01:24:31.900 They're a
01:24:32.220 family-owned
01:24:33.100 mortgage lender
01:24:34.040 that have been
01:24:34.920 helping people
01:24:35.520 just like you
01:24:36.340 for over 20
01:24:37.040 years.
01:24:37.600 They are not
01:24:38.220 a bank
01:24:38.680 and that's
01:24:39.840 why I
01:24:40.120 think you
01:24:40.380 can really
01:24:40.840 trust them
01:24:41.560 because they
01:24:43.000 work for you
01:24:44.040 not the
01:24:44.900 bank.
01:24:45.360 They're not
01:24:45.600 trying to put
01:24:46.160 you into
01:24:46.560 something that
01:24:47.080 the bank is
01:24:47.800 pushing.
01:24:48.800 In 10
01:24:49.300 minutes they
01:24:49.840 can perform
01:24:50.380 a free
01:24:50.860 mortgage review
01:24:51.680 and let you
01:24:52.260 in on the
01:24:52.580 ways you
01:24:53.360 could be
01:24:53.700 saving more
01:24:54.420 money and
01:24:55.400 getting more
01:24:56.120 out of what
01:24:56.640 you have
01:24:57.160 like with
01:24:58.140 home equity.
01:24:59.560 It's time to
01:25:00.400 think long
01:25:01.240 term and get
01:25:02.420 out of those
01:25:03.620 high interest
01:25:04.760 rate credit
01:25:05.240 cards.
01:25:05.640 Do it now.

01:25:27.680 banker.
01:25:28.940 She is
01:25:29.680 somebody who
01:25:30.620 is trying to
01:25:32.060 look out for
01:25:32.540 the little
01:25:32.860 guy and can
01:25:33.540 explain what's
01:25:34.280 happening to
01:25:34.760 the little
01:25:35.080 guy in
01:25:35.540 normal terms
01:25:36.300 which is my
01:25:37.720 biggest frustration
01:25:38.560 when you watch
01:25:39.560 anybody who
01:25:40.040 knows anything
01:25:40.440 about the
01:25:40.800 economy.
01:25:41.740 Carol,
01:25:42.380 welcome.
01:25:44.100 Thanks Glenn.
01:25:44.820 I have some
01:25:45.220 bad news.
01:25:45.980 I'm sort of
01:25:46.340 processing this
01:25:47.280 right now but
01:25:47.900 I don't think
01:25:48.820 we're going to
01:25:49.280 save the 16
01:25:50.420 cents on our
01:25:51.380 4th of July
01:25:52.000 barbecue this
01:25:52.860 year.
01:25:53.320 Sort of
01:25:53.920 becoming very
01:25:54.800 clear to me
01:25:55.480 and I'm just
01:25:55.880 trying to
01:25:56.260 process this.
01:25:57.060 Wow.
01:25:57.860 That's
01:25:58.220 believe me
01:25:59.100 I think that's
01:26:00.120 going to be
01:26:00.600 trending on
01:26:01.340 Twitter on
01:26:02.400 July 4th on
01:26:03.420 how much
01:26:03.740 everybody is
01:26:04.280 spending.
01:26:05.540 Let me
01:26:06.160 let me
01:26:07.020 start here
01:26:07.460 8.5%
01:26:09.340 in 1980
01:26:12.480 the highest
01:26:13.980 the highest
01:26:15.380 inflation rate
01:26:16.220 was 14.6
01:26:17.900 and we
01:26:19.060 had 20%
01:26:20.820 mortgage
01:26:22.020 rates.
01:26:23.900 2022
01:26:24.820 according to
01:26:26.600 shadow stats
01:26:27.580 which is
01:26:28.380 calculating the
01:26:29.160 way we
01:26:29.520 calculated
01:26:30.120 inflation in
01:26:30.880 1980 our
01:26:32.300 inflation rate
01:26:33.100 is 17.1%
01:26:35.880 and our
01:26:38.200 mortgage
01:26:39.740 I mean our
01:26:40.840 lending rates
01:26:41.940 are now
01:26:42.540 0.5%
01:26:44.320 to the banks.
01:26:46.000 That seems a
01:26:46.960 little crazy.
01:26:48.460 Yeah it seems
01:26:49.300 like a little bit
01:26:50.200 of a mismatch
01:26:51.400 of policy.
01:26:52.560 Obviously a lot
01:26:53.560 to unpack there
01:26:54.680 but you know
01:26:55.100 this is why
01:26:55.860 people are so
01:26:56.940 angry with the
01:26:58.060 Federal Reserve.
01:26:58.880 they have
01:27:00.100 been on the
01:27:01.700 forefront of
01:27:02.500 causing this
01:27:03.460 issue by
01:27:04.220 artificially
01:27:04.900 suppressing
01:27:05.460 interest rates
01:27:06.500 and printing
01:27:07.840 trillions of
01:27:08.760 dollars that
01:27:09.520 have in part
01:27:10.420 caused this
01:27:11.180 inflation.
01:27:12.580 And then
01:27:13.100 they were
01:27:14.180 buying securities
01:27:15.020 putting them
01:27:15.560 on their
01:27:15.840 balance sheet
01:27:16.340 part of what
01:27:16.900 suppresses
01:27:17.380 interest rates
01:27:18.040 up until
01:27:18.580 last month.
01:27:20.000 Then all of a
01:27:20.580 sudden they got
01:27:21.260 the wake-up call
01:27:22.100 going oh boy
01:27:23.140 you know inflation
01:27:23.840 is pretty high
01:27:24.560 even though
01:27:24.980 it's been
01:27:25.320 trending at
01:27:26.780 incredible levels
01:27:28.040 for well over
01:27:29.040 a year and
01:27:30.520 you know now
01:27:31.060 all of a sudden
01:27:31.620 oh we have
01:27:32.240 to do something
01:27:33.160 and they're
01:27:33.820 still not doing
01:27:34.640 it fast enough
01:27:35.480 but the rub
01:27:36.680 on all of this
01:27:37.640 is it's very
01:27:38.340 hard for them
01:27:38.900 to do anything
01:27:39.740 without putting
01:27:40.440 us into a
01:27:41.000 recession so
01:27:41.780 they are caught
01:27:42.480 between a rock
01:27:43.360 and a hard place.
01:27:44.300 Yeah kind of
01:27:44.920 oh gee I
01:27:45.580 remember saying
01:27:46.360 this kind of
01:27:47.340 at a place
01:27:47.840 where there are
01:27:48.420 no good options
01:27:49.340 and they're out
01:27:50.080 of bullets.
01:27:51.460 All right so
01:27:52.460 let's go back
01:27:53.300 to the stats
01:27:54.120 of 8.5%
01:27:55.900 this is so
01:27:57.380 misleading because
01:27:58.560 they'll say it's
01:27:59.500 the highest in
01:28:00.280 40 years meaning
01:28:01.800 it was worse
01:28:02.360 under Jimmy Carter
01:28:03.160 but I contend
01:28:04.600 it's not worse
01:28:06.080 I mean it's not
01:28:06.940 it was not worse
01:28:08.460 in the 1970s
01:28:10.200 and 80s
01:28:10.700 it's worse now
01:28:11.940 by far
01:28:12.880 because we're
01:28:13.460 at the beginning
01:28:14.020 of this.
01:28:15.280 Can you explain
01:28:16.100 shadow stats
01:28:17.320 and what you
01:28:17.760 understand is
01:28:18.620 this credible
01:28:19.280 to be able to
01:28:20.580 say let me look
01:28:21.420 and calculate it
01:28:22.840 the way we used
01:28:23.760 to?
01:28:25.080 Sure so I
01:28:26.020 to be fair
01:28:27.140 I've looked at
01:28:28.220 shadow stats
01:28:29.060 I have not
01:28:29.720 been able to
01:28:30.400 go through
01:28:31.120 it would take
01:28:31.940 you know lots
01:28:32.420 of modeling
01:28:33.300 power
01:28:33.640 to be able
01:28:34.960 to go back
01:28:35.400 and replicate
01:28:36.040 it but basically
01:28:37.040 what they've done
01:28:37.920 is they said
01:28:38.480 you know there
01:28:39.280 have been a lot
01:28:39.900 of shifts here
01:28:40.780 both in the 80s
01:28:41.900 and the 90s
01:28:42.800 in terms of the way
01:28:43.780 that the government
01:28:44.540 calculates inflation
01:28:45.840 and this should be
01:28:46.940 of no surprise
01:28:47.960 to anyone
01:28:48.480 they want to keep
01:28:49.420 the headline
01:28:50.020 inflation number
01:28:50.980 down
01:28:51.480 also
01:28:52.020 also though
01:28:53.480 isn't social
01:28:54.740 security based
01:28:55.900 increases based
01:28:56.800 on CPI
01:28:58.380 you want to
01:28:58.880 just read
01:28:59.540 this is exactly
01:29:00.540 where I was
01:29:01.140 going with
01:29:01.640 so they have
01:29:02.340 a couple of
01:29:02.940 no this is good
01:29:03.740 we're always
01:29:04.220 simpatico on
01:29:04.880 these things
01:29:05.240 so the reason
01:29:05.980 why they want
01:29:06.600 to keep the
01:29:07.020 headline number
01:29:07.740 down is because
01:29:08.860 it allows them
01:29:09.720 to print more
01:29:10.640 money it keeps
01:29:11.320 you from panicking
01:29:12.140 but like you
01:29:12.920 said there are
01:29:13.340 a lot of
01:29:13.780 things that
01:29:14.740 you know the
01:29:15.960 numbers for
01:29:16.700 inflation feed
01:29:18.140 into like like
01:29:19.360 you said social
01:29:20.140 security and other
01:29:21.380 programs that have
01:29:22.360 cost of living
01:29:23.280 adjustments so this
01:29:24.280 is another way
01:29:25.220 for the government
01:29:26.260 to continue to
01:29:27.420 cheat so what
01:29:28.400 shadow stats has
01:29:29.400 done is they said
01:29:30.060 well let's go back
01:29:30.960 to you know the
01:29:31.640 best approximation
01:29:32.440 we can make of
01:29:33.820 what happened before
01:29:34.760 the 90s changes
01:29:35.660 before the 80s
01:29:36.600 changes and let's
01:29:37.360 calculate it and
01:29:38.700 if they looked at
01:29:39.460 the rate it's about
01:29:40.440 double of what is
01:29:41.900 being reported and
01:29:43.320 you can just look at
01:29:44.180 some of the key
01:29:44.980 categories things
01:29:46.140 like rent and
01:29:47.140 hotels and whatnot
01:29:48.260 on what they are
01:29:49.600 reporting and go
01:29:51.060 yeah you know that
01:29:51.960 makes sense you and
01:29:53.040 i can go to the
01:29:53.700 grocery store we
01:29:54.740 can you know try to
01:29:55.600 shelter and feed our
01:29:57.120 families and go get
01:29:58.000 gas you understand
01:29:59.340 that it's not just
01:30:00.380 8.5 percent
01:30:01.580 inflation so this is
01:30:03.040 trying to give you
01:30:03.740 that apples to
01:30:04.680 apples comparison
01:30:05.680 right and you know
01:30:06.740 by my estimation it
01:30:08.280 seems like it's in
01:30:09.260 the ballpark yeah
01:30:10.300 which is 17.1
01:30:13.120 inflation rate this
01:30:15.000 month in 1980 it
01:30:17.080 was 14.6 that was
01:30:19.720 the top of it we're
01:30:21.220 not at are we at
01:30:22.020 the top of this
01:30:22.780 well that's a great
01:30:24.500 question today we
01:30:26.240 got a number there
01:30:27.460 there are different
01:30:28.080 measures of inflation
01:30:29.420 the cpi is sort of a
01:30:31.580 consumer survey one
01:30:33.020 that's used today we
01:30:35.000 got something called
01:30:35.800 the producer price
01:30:37.340 index which is a
01:30:38.360 measure of wholesale
01:30:39.460 inflation okay is
01:30:40.920 this is this the
01:30:42.160 this shows us what
01:30:44.280 may be coming our
01:30:45.480 way because these
01:30:46.400 are the raw materials
01:30:47.640 that it takes to
01:30:48.920 make things that we
01:30:50.100 eventually buy yes
01:30:51.800 this is the inflation
01:30:52.980 and the inputs to the
01:30:55.240 goods and services and
01:30:56.460 it is a lagging
01:30:57.500 indicator because you
01:30:58.700 obviously have to have
01:30:59.900 that inflation number
01:31:01.600 know what that is but
01:31:02.600 they haven't gone into
01:31:03.860 that finished price that
01:31:05.320 has gone to the
01:31:06.320 consumer that what the
01:31:07.180 consumer is paying at
01:31:08.460 so this ends up
01:31:10.220 meaning that what
01:31:10.820 we're seeing today is
01:31:12.140 going to impact what
01:31:13.520 we're seeing going
01:31:14.240 forward now obviously
01:31:15.780 the gas prices are
01:31:17.260 moving around so it's
01:31:19.140 going to be different
01:31:19.820 headline versus looking
01:31:21.440 at what's called core
01:31:22.380 inflation which strips
01:31:23.440 out food and energy
01:31:24.460 prices but given the
01:31:26.600 fact that at the
01:31:27.560 producer level today
01:31:28.940 we got a number that
01:31:30.300 is the highest level on
01:31:32.480 record Glenn the highest
01:31:33.800 level 11.2 percent at
01:31:37.140 the wholesale level
01:31:38.460 that's 11.2 percent
01:31:40.600 increase which again is
01:31:41.980 probably understated that
01:31:43.560 is going to flow through
01:31:45.060 goods and services that
01:31:46.320 we're going to see in the
01:31:47.340 coming months that's the
01:31:48.460 current way did they
01:31:49.380 ever calculate they
01:31:50.160 changed this calculation
01:31:51.400 ever of course of course
01:31:52.700 they changed the whole
01:31:53.400 name they changed the
01:31:54.260 whole name of the index
01:31:55.420 right you know they said
01:31:56.560 well we're not going to
01:31:57.340 do it this way anymore
01:31:58.160 we're going to we're
01:31:58.600 going to have a different
01:31:59.100 way to do we're going
01:31:59.680 to have a new name we're
01:32:00.420 going to brand it it's
01:32:01.280 going to be great but
01:32:02.120 this is the change but
01:32:03.360 this is the this is the
01:32:06.240 highest number even with
01:32:07.880 all of the changes this
01:32:09.600 is the highest number
01:32:10.540 ever recorded so based
01:32:13.200 on this current index this
01:32:15.480 is the highest number
01:32:16.740 ever recorded holy cow
01:32:18.540 yeah I mean it was
01:32:19.900 staggering 11.2 percent
01:32:22.600 okay so why is this a I
01:32:25.560 would think this is a
01:32:26.480 leading indicator because
01:32:28.200 if the prices to produce
01:32:29.680 things are more expensive
01:32:31.980 expensive today at 11
01:32:34.180 percent more expensive
01:32:35.360 that means that it's
01:32:36.660 showing me that when it
01:32:38.260 finally gets a finished
01:32:39.420 product and it's at you're
01:32:41.060 going to be paying at
01:32:42.200 least 11 percent more
01:32:44.360 right yeah we're we're
01:32:46.140 saying sort of the same
01:32:47.160 thing in a different way
01:32:47.940 what I'm saying is that
01:32:48.720 it lags uh what what
01:32:50.360 shows up in the cpi
01:32:51.680 inflation number so you
01:32:53.400 you have not seen it yet
01:32:54.920 because it hasn't hit it
01:32:56.200 yet so we're both saying
01:32:57.380 the same thing and just
01:32:58.140 that with just slightly
01:32:58.960 different uh words here
01:33:00.420 so uh what what what
01:33:03.500 uh what what what what
01:33:05.160 what can be done here
01:33:06.580 um you know it's a
01:33:10.020 really good question
01:33:11.040 obviously a lot of
01:33:12.420 people are looking to
01:33:13.580 the federal reserve to
01:33:15.080 get us you know out of
01:33:16.540 the uh out of this with
01:33:18.020 monetary policy um the
01:33:20.420 the challenge is I don't
01:33:21.480 think they can do that
01:33:22.660 without causing a
01:33:24.320 recession and major
01:33:25.960 carnage in the economy
01:33:27.340 because at this point
01:33:28.560 all the things that have
01:33:29.880 led into this um you
01:33:31.780 know the monetary policy
01:33:33.180 the fiscal policy the
01:33:34.620 disruption uh in the
01:33:36.360 supply chain it's created
01:33:38.080 this systemic supply
01:33:40.140 imbalances monetary
01:33:41.860 policy can quell our
01:33:43.320 demand it can make us go
01:33:44.520 oh we're not going to
01:33:45.180 get a mortgage because
01:33:46.340 you know it's that it's
01:33:47.260 six percent or you know
01:33:48.660 we're not going to spend
01:33:49.460 as much at the store but
01:33:51.100 you know how does it fix
01:33:52.540 the fact that we have 1.8
01:33:54.340 jobs available for every
01:33:56.000 worker you know how does
01:33:57.060 it fix the fact that we
01:33:58.240 have four to five million
01:33:59.800 homes um you know that
01:34:01.760 are underbuilt at this
01:34:03.140 point in time you know
01:34:04.000 how does it fix the fact
01:34:05.300 that we've underinvested in
01:34:07.480 energy and and and
01:34:09.360 health care infrastructure
01:34:10.800 so it's you know the
01:34:12.820 things that they would
01:34:13.760 have to do to to make
01:34:15.100 those changes there's a
01:34:17.040 huge disconnect and as
01:34:18.880 I said I think it would be
01:34:19.840 really ugly for the
01:34:20.860 economy so um you know
01:34:22.980 this could it will
01:34:24.740 probably at some point
01:34:26.220 come down on a headline
01:34:27.520 basis but that is the
01:34:29.280 growth rate it doesn't
01:34:30.760 mean that we're not
01:34:31.380 going to have elevated
01:34:32.640 inflation and continued
01:34:34.720 pain for a very long
01:34:36.120 time so uh when we when
01:34:38.420 we look at things like
01:34:39.620 what's happening over in
01:34:40.700 Shanghai where they've
01:34:42.320 shut everything down and
01:34:44.080 I where's that story
01:34:45.560 there's a China has
01:34:48.060 stranded 30 million
01:34:50.120 truckers 30 million
01:34:52.700 truckers in China are
01:34:54.180 now stuck at home
01:34:55.220 what is this going to
01:34:57.680 mean this impact we
01:34:59.080 felt it last time that
01:35:00.960 China shut down but we
01:35:03.060 shut down as well this
01:35:05.240 time we're not shutting
01:35:06.220 down what is that impact
01:35:08.440 going to mean to us
01:35:09.500 yeah well obviously it's
01:35:11.960 not a good thing um for
01:35:13.800 supply chains for the
01:35:15.080 companies that are still
01:35:16.200 depending on China um I
01:35:18.640 think internally to
01:35:19.740 China it's a huge issue
01:35:21.640 because they are a net
01:35:23.220 importer of not only
01:35:25.140 energy but food um and
01:35:27.460 so you know what does
01:35:28.340 that mean in terms of the
01:35:30.060 potential for some of
01:35:31.340 those people to have you
01:35:32.660 know pretty substantial
01:35:33.520 food insecurity or
01:35:35.040 starvation if they don't
01:35:37.360 get things going again um
01:35:39.600 and certainly as we know
01:35:41.000 that the reverberations
01:35:42.380 about you know all these
01:35:43.400 decisions around the
01:35:44.420 world um could lead to
01:35:46.340 other other issues social
01:35:48.020 unrest and whatnot um
01:35:50.100 which you know we are
01:35:51.520 all connected and so that
01:35:53.160 even though we'll be in a
01:35:54.560 better position it doesn't
01:35:56.600 mean it won't have real
01:35:57.900 impacts and as we know
01:35:59.060 anytime something has an
01:36:00.080 impact here in America who
01:36:01.680 feels it is it the elite is
01:36:03.440 it the wealthy is it the
01:36:04.680 wealth connected of course
01:36:06.160 not they're going to find a
01:36:07.080 way to insulate themselves
01:36:08.520 it's going to be the average
01:36:10.300 American it's going to be
01:36:11.660 the main street business
01:36:12.860 it's going to be the backbone
01:36:14.160 of this country and this
01:36:15.460 economy that bears the
01:36:16.940 brunt of it back with
01:36:18.160 Carol Roth here in just a
01:36:19.240 second first let me tell
01:36:20.260 you uh about our sponsor
01:36:22.220 this half hour uh our
01:36:25.740 sponsor is Patriot Mobile
01:36:27.720 here's the thing uh Patriot
01:36:30.240 Mobile is a company that is
01:36:31.660 not doing what everybody
01:36:33.540 else is doing uh they're
01:36:35.220 not joining the woke club
01:36:37.040 or the woke cult as uh you
01:36:39.740 will clearly understand
01:36:42.060 tomorrow Patriot Mobile is
01:36:44.180 America's only Christian
01:36:45.220 conservative cell phone
01:36:46.540 provider they offer the same
01:36:47.960 nationwide coverage as the
01:36:49.280 major carriers get same
01:36:50.720 great service plus the peace
01:36:52.780 of mind that you know your
01:36:54.760 money is not going to some
01:36:56.540 company that is taking their
01:36:58.380 proceeds and and giving it to
01:37:00.700 Planned Parenthood okay that
01:37:03.220 this company takes a portion of
01:37:05.140 their proceeds and they give it
01:37:07.260 to support things like free
01:37:08.760 speech the sanctity of life
01:37:11.540 liberty Patriot Mobile they
01:37:14.220 have plans to fit any budget
01:37:15.760 and their 100% U.S. based
01:37:17.720 customer support team provides
01:37:19.660 amazing coverage as we talked
01:37:21.860 to Dave Rubin yesterday uh on
01:37:24.500 the podcast he said Glenn we
01:37:26.900 have to have a parallel
01:37:28.000 economy we've got to get away
01:37:29.680 from these corporations this is

01:37:51.600 ID
01:37:51.900 so there was another story that I
01:38:05.760 read today global renewable power
01:38:08.380 prices soar on heavy demand that
01:38:13.620 contract prices for renewables in
01:38:16.840 North America have gone up 28.5% and
01:38:22.460 27.5% in Europe that's just in the
01:38:27.100 last 12 months gee why would that be
01:38:31.980 Carol well this is what's called
01:38:35.920 supply and demand Glenn we have
01:38:39.740 under invested in all different
01:38:42.140 kinds of commodities it's not just
01:38:44.280 energy but it's all different kinds
01:38:46.220 of commodity components things that
01:38:48.380 are required for decarbonization and
01:38:51.520 this huge push has led to increased
01:38:54.680 demand and when you don't have enough
01:38:57.260 supply to meet that demand what
01:38:59.780 happens but the prices go up if you
01:39:01.940 think about something like copper
01:39:03.820 you know it's one of the biggest
01:39:05.760 inputs into energy and so if you're
01:39:09.060 going to have something that is you
01:39:10.540 know electricity based you're going
01:39:12.320 to need a lot of copper there are a
01:39:14.580 whole slew of other materials from
01:39:16.620 aluminum to lithium and whatnot that
01:39:20.240 are used in these sort of green
01:39:22.820 friendly products and again we have
01:39:26.040 not seen enough investment in order to
01:39:29.440 to fill to fulfill these crazy wishes
01:39:32.200 that the folks who are pushing
01:39:34.380 decarbonization want to fulfill by the
01:39:38.700 way you can ask Carol for answers on
01:39:42.480 anything we you know I said yesterday
01:39:45.600 that you know I've always felt like I
01:39:49.420 was I was here to warn what's coming
01:39:52.260 over the horizon but I also think that it
01:39:55.140 is to empower you and information is
01:39:59.580 empowering and to encourage you and
01:40:03.500 that means you know to just keep doing
01:40:06.240 the things that you know are right do
01:40:07.680 the next right thing but also to give
01:40:09.800 you some answers on some things and so
01:40:13.020 we've put up at glennbeck.com slash
01:40:15.660 questions I think that's it isn't it is
01:40:19.640 it what contact okay sorry glennbeck.com
01:40:23.120 slash contact you go there and you can
01:40:27.000 ask Carol a question and if she can
01:40:29.460 she'll she'll answer it can I do we have
01:40:31.280 time for one question concerning the
01:40:33.480 economy for Carol Roth we don't feel
01:40:36.580 like we can trust our money to be in big
01:40:38.700 banks but we also know the dollar stands
01:40:40.720 to lose most of its value so keeping it
01:40:43.580 in cash is also useless what is the best
01:40:46.560 course for us to invest and convert our
01:40:48.540 money to so we'll have something if
01:40:50.920 things change to digital okay so this is
01:40:54.220 the normal caveat this is not financial
01:40:56.520 advice in the legal aspect of it this is
01:41:00.880 just for your own information and
01:41:02.780 additional research okay so the first
01:41:05.280 thing I want to make sure is that you
01:41:06.860 take care of your near-term and
01:41:08.920 emergency expenses because we do see
01:41:11.160 prices going up if something goes
01:41:13.600 sideways you do want to make sure that
01:41:15.320 you have enough cash on hand to be able
01:41:17.440 to to handle that but outside of that you
01:41:20.380 don't want your cash sitting in the bank
01:41:22.620 because it's going to lose value you have
01:41:24.820 to be looking at hard assets some of the
01:41:27.980 things to consider is housing now
01:41:30.340 obviously as we know the Fed is increasing
01:41:33.280 those mortgage rates so that is going to
01:41:35.800 have some impact on housing probably in the
01:41:38.620 near term but in the long term we are
01:41:41.040 under built four to five plus million homes
01:41:44.420 depending on who you ask from the last
01:41:46.260 decade plus given the prices and what's
01:41:48.960 happened over you know the last couple of
01:41:50.740 years we haven't seen that same bump in
01:41:53.420 building so I think that that imbalance is
01:41:56.160 something you want to be thinking about
01:41:57.480 also having some exposure to tangible
01:42:01.260 commodities to gold to silver to you know
01:42:05.660 investments in other commodities again we've
01:42:08.340 seen some run up in those but if you're
01:42:11.280 thinking as a long-term hedge against
01:42:14.200 inflation it's something for you to
01:42:15.960 consider please don't this is just my
01:42:18.140 opinion please stay away from paper stuff
01:42:20.420 correct this is physical you especially on
01:42:23.600 the on the gold and silver metal standpoint
01:42:25.720 you want to actually have the physical
01:42:28.380 gold yes exactly and silver and then on the
01:42:32.500 stock side obviously you know with the
01:42:35.520 Federal Reserve raising rates there's going
01:42:37.440 to be some choppiness there's going to be
01:42:39.180 some volatility in the market if you are not
01:42:42.200 sophisticated the S&P 500 still gives you
01:42:45.200 that broad diversification if you are
01:42:48.440 looking to pick stocks you're going to look
01:42:51.060 for ones with inelastic demand that means
01:42:54.020 that they are able to raise their prices to
01:42:56.480 customers and customers will continue to pay
01:42:59.400 that you're going to want to look for ones
01:43:01.580 with strong balance sheets that can weather
01:43:04.060 whatever is ahead and probably ones with extra
01:43:07.140 cash to do some share buybacks because that
01:43:09.100 is going to help with the earnings per
01:43:11.760 share seconds give me the last one yes so in
01:43:15.900 terms if you're looking at the central bank
01:43:17.500 digital currency that's going to come down
01:43:19.860 potentially to bartering and if things go
01:43:21.800 sideways think about things that are going
01:43:23.620 to be a valuable barter commodity as well if that
01:43:27.620 happens just hold just brace for impact if that
01:43:32.380 happens we have a whole bunch of problems
01:43:34.280 carol thank you so much god bless thanks for
01:43:37.000 having me it is glennbeck.com slash contact
01:43:42.060 we'll have carol back to answer some more of
01:43:44.420 those questions the glennbeck program so michael

01:45:39.320 youtube channel it's president biden's fitness for office

01:45:49.340 from years gone by even two years ago or a year ago
01:45:54.380 uh and he's in rapid decline so what does that mean is anybody looking at
01:46:01.100 should he be president of the united states and what does the 25th amendment
01:46:05.160 really allow people to do and does this fit
01:46:09.700 tonight 9 p.m let me play some audio here this is from shanghai
01:46:16.140 this is looking over like shanghai's like almost like central park
01:46:34.660 it is just high-rise condos and and apartments all the way around
01:46:40.660 it's at night and you're hearing people scream matt kibbe is here to talk about
01:46:46.980 the story hi matt hey how are you i'm very good
01:46:49.680 what are they saying they are they're basically saying they're
01:46:53.620 they're locked into their apartments they're not allowed to leave
01:46:56.260 uh they have no food and they're saying i would rather die
01:46:59.340 than continue this anymore and various versions of that
01:47:03.140 um the chinese government is actually flying drones
01:47:06.520 telling them to suppress their their souls urge to be free
01:47:12.460 and fall in line it is it is right out of hunger games or think about the worst
01:47:18.520 dystopian novel right you look at that and it's like a movie
01:47:23.380 and you're just expecting like some superhero to fly in or something
01:47:28.560 this is a dystopian movie we've all seen that footage is terrifying
01:47:33.960 yeah and and by the way this is not some corner of china this is shanghai
01:47:38.860 financial center of their universe and it is it's sort of the logical conclusion
01:47:44.540 of of this this idea that government can keep us safe from a virus they have this
01:47:51.100 uh uh defined philosophy of called zero covid which means that we the government
01:47:56.840 are going to use all of our powers to stop a virus it's something that's never been
01:48:01.880 tried before and china has been celebrated from day one starting with the new york times and
01:48:06.820 everybody else the chinese model is the model and they're willing to do anything to prove that
01:48:13.080 their model works they're going to kill as many people as they need to to keep people safe how are
01:48:18.780 they feeding these people they're not and and this is like sort of an arrogance of of central planning
01:48:25.800 technocratic authoritarianism the distribution of food has been taken over essentially by the government
01:48:32.860 and it doesn't work the food is rotting outside of the the corners of the city um people are not
01:48:39.460 allowed to leave their houses um they've shut down the entire informal economy that has always been
01:48:46.520 how people get fed so this is why they're screaming they're starving to death
01:48:51.120 and like you said this is not some nowhere village this is i mean that looks like central park yeah
01:49:00.740 i mean this is the elite of the elite in the elite city yeah i mean i think um that's that's why it's
01:49:07.700 so shocking and there's so many videos now they've actually gotten through all of our tech sensors
01:49:12.520 so that people are seeing this and and for better or worse you know a lot of people started paying
01:49:18.720 attention when they saw videos of these same lockdown police beating uh the pets of the people
01:49:26.280 screaming to death because animals are a potential vector for covid and and people you know they can't
01:49:33.960 see people starving in their apartments they can hear them but they can see the brutality with which
01:49:38.980 they're murdering pets in the street so people are starting to pay attention and and i'm hoping
01:49:45.040 that finally after two years of warning that lockdowns you know they disrupt supply chains we
01:49:51.500 potentially put people at risk of everything including starving if if there's no food if there's
01:49:57.580 no food production if there's no food distribution eventually we're going to be in this same situation and
01:50:04.880 i want people to understand that especially since the reason why these people are not out in the streets
01:50:11.960 is because there is such a tight control on individuals they they track everyone everyone
01:50:20.180 yeah uh and and if you're out without your phone there's a drone that comes up to you and says go back
01:50:27.260 home and get your your drone or they pick you up and throw you away if you've ever watched the horrible
01:50:33.620 series called black mirror this is an episode out of there because the chinese government has the social
01:50:39.580 credit system where they and they they know your identity um you have a digital footprint they
01:50:47.140 control your bank account they control every aspect of your life so the the risk of leaving your home
01:50:53.140 is that you will be destroyed forever you you might actually be killed but more importantly there's
01:50:59.820 no recovering from getting on the bad list in china bad citizen means that not only you but your family
01:51:07.720 will pay the ultimate price and disloyalty is the one thing that's not accepted
01:51:12.640 how far away are we because i remember seeing this what was this stew two years ago when they were
01:51:19.320 doing this and remember they were welding people into their homes and yeah we said that'll never happen
01:51:25.220 and then the drones that'll never happen and then you know it happened started happening even in
01:51:29.340 italy and i still thought no they're not gonna do that here and then it was here well i mean i guess not
01:51:34.260 necessarily the welding and the drones but a version of that for sure a version i remember i think it
01:51:40.640 was connecticut uh the police were going door to door it was uh rhode island rhode island yeah um
01:51:46.980 and and and we we did a i should say we did a deep dive on this uh yesterday and and the show that
01:51:53.140 you and i did for kibby on liberty will will air next wednesday and the deep dive here is that this the
01:52:01.340 chinese model um which is directly related to the great reset and the idea that authoritarians are
01:52:12.240 going to replace um personal choice um the logic of this was always about the chinese model and so you
01:52:19.620 see like i'm shocked we've all been shocked to see just how far canada will go in terms of debanking
01:52:25.740 the truckers and everything else so how far are we it depends exactly on how much the american people
01:52:32.580 are willing to put up with because i think that our government is not immune from this gross obscene
01:52:40.320 abuse of power no way um they'll do it in a heartbeat it just depends if they'll let us all right the
01:52:46.080 emergency whatever the emergency is if it's big enough they will absolutely go to this and then
01:52:51.880 there's no then you're like china they do whatever you want yeah whatever they want to do to you they
01:52:56.760 will and this was this was our frustration early on when we were complaining about lockdowns you know
01:53:01.600 i'm an economist so i was i was geeking out like uh carol roth on on supply chains and that kind of
01:53:07.820 thing um and then we talked about vaccine mandates and vax ports as the infrastructure for a social credit
01:53:15.560 system and and being forced to take a vaccine that you may or may not want to do these are all
01:53:22.520 components of the chinese model and and everybody viewed them as very benign public health measures
01:53:29.960 but they're quite the opposite this is about power it's not about health so you know there's a lot of
01:53:35.840 libertarians that um will and and quite frankly a lot of conservative republicans too that will sit back
01:53:44.420 and look at the great reset and say this is just business that's a private business they can do
01:53:49.440 whatever they want how do you answer that um it's not a private business in any realistic sense and i
01:53:57.260 call it political capture a lot of these tech companies that are controlling the narrative that
01:54:02.140 we've all talked about so much um they're taking a lot of money from the government in terms of ad
01:54:06.980 revenue um they're essentially accepting a deal that they can't refuse when even the president's
01:54:14.520 press secretary says you better do something about these dissident voices um but it's going back to the
01:54:22.400 chinese model um it's a cozy relationship sure the social credit system in china is executed by
01:54:29.380 nominally private interest banking tech it's it's not a government program in that sense so you have this
01:54:36.460 this collusion between big business and big government that is happening in the same way
01:54:42.700 in this country and are those corporations captured are they just pursuing uh higher profits through their
01:54:49.600 relationships with government um whatever it is it's not private it's something else and there's it's
01:54:56.320 fascism and uh and it's strange because the corporations that are afraid of it and are just falling
01:55:03.440 into line because they see the writing on the wall they are already in their you know their corporate
01:55:12.120 condo around central park ready to get out on and start screaming i'd rather i'd rather die than this
01:55:19.360 yeah uh but they won't and now is the time to scream that because it's not completely finished yet
01:55:26.980 once it's finished not only will some of those corporations regret this uh but so will the average
01:55:34.420 person and then you just have to decide i mean people say how do i prepare what do i do i i keep
01:55:40.060 saying lately you just have to decide will you comply no matter what they say and you have to think you
01:55:49.420 know well yeah i take the vaccine okay all right great will you wear the mask whenever and for however
01:55:56.100 long they tell you to do it will you not stand up in your pta meeting when they're talking to your
01:56:02.780 kindergartners about transsexual and telling your kindergartner that they may not be a boy or a girl
01:56:09.220 will you comply because it's only going to get worse and if you can say yeah i'd rather
01:56:17.380 i'd you know i'd rather just comply than have any trouble you'll be fine but if you disagree with
01:56:25.220 anyone on anything unless you're 100 percent compliant on whatever else they can think of
01:56:30.540 you're doomed right right the the only answer is peaceful civil disobedience there's a lot more of
01:56:39.400 us than there are of them but somebody needs to stick their neck out first it's it's sort of an act of
01:56:45.840 entrepreneurship in a sense some crazy guy is going to say you know what i'm not going to do that
01:56:51.700 anymore i'm not going to comply and there's safety in numbers and other people follow and pretty soon
01:56:57.800 you have a convoy of canadian truckers shutting down the capital of canada and that's how it happens
01:57:04.300 and and we watched in real time what the government did to those people but they also changed the
01:57:11.840 narrative i think the only reason that we're not doing employer vaccine mandates in this country
01:57:17.060 is the canadian truckers it makes me very sad that it wasn't american americans that did it makes
01:57:24.200 me actually proud and and makes us feel not so alone that it was canadians that did it yeah and that
01:57:29.820 was a high profile example though but isn't wasn't it sort of eroded this entire time like
01:57:35.740 these mask mandates were in effect in texas for a long time and there were periods where i think
01:57:43.260 people sort of paid attention to them but it went away pretty fast i mean i it seemed like there was a
01:57:48.420 a large scale but very like this low simmer of people just constantly blowing these things off
01:57:56.520 and moving on with their lives and then all of a sudden it was just over in some states in some
01:58:00.000 states see this is why i need to move to texas because we have a completely different view yeah of
01:58:05.900 what covid was you you live in washington you still live in washington dc that's insanity what happened up
01:58:12.120 there yeah it's crazy i i spent all my time driving to virginia to go to the gym to go to restaurants to
01:58:17.720 go to the grocery store simply because i want this sort of civil civil disobedience to happen
01:58:24.280 we actually did a documentary about a restaurant bar owner in dc yeah yeah he runs the big board i
01:58:30.340 think he's beat on your show actually uh he finally got his license back um but he made it safe
01:58:37.340 for other restaurants and by the way the mayor lifted those just days after she shut him down
01:58:44.000 so again someone needs to be brave and it might feel irrational to put your life and your business
01:58:50.260 on the line but somebody's got to step up and and you know it's the culture here in texas is quite
01:58:56.420 different i think people are generally more inclined to resist irrational authority um in dc we love it
01:59:03.560 like we're swimming no you're in a cesspool of of violence you are in the cult of of uh of uh
01:59:12.560 wokeness there yep um matt thank you so much good to see you good to see you um you can uh hear the
