Why are you letting interest rates eat away at your bank account?
00:00:44.860
you're nervous to even try to do something about it
00:00:47.380
because you just don't think anything will work
00:00:50.300
But look, you owe it to yourself and your family
00:00:52.840

more you avoid the more doors that close for you and
00:37:11.060

00:37:59.980
you over and over again are you ever going to be
00:38:32.380
this is their land and the Jews had nothing to do
00:38:35.300
with it and whipping these people up into a frenzy
00:38:42.740
kill the other side they won't listen to reason
00:38:47.780
anymore they can't even see it because they've been
00:38:50.600
trained almost since birth to hate the other side
00:38:53.880
and if you think that's hyperbole just look at who is
00:38:58.120
supporting the Palestinians and all of the lies look

who is saying on October 8th well that's okay the

all right so the uh blaze subscribers have a lot to say today ac said on the
00:41:20.440
cancer monologue that I started this hour with it's time it's all being used
00:41:24.660
against the American people we're done being the doormat of our abusers uh we
00:41:28.660
don't like it anymore uh Chris the real cancer is a godless nation
00:41:32.700
Patriot said after the last four years I can't afford any more pain how long
00:41:36.800
will this take unfortunately years I think uh T this is minor pain if the
00:41:43.420
economy collapses that's major pain and you're right and that's what I was
00:41:47.260
trying to point out the economy will collapse because the rest of the look at
00:41:52.180
the rest of the western world what they're doing they're still going down
00:41:55.280
this road of madness they're still opening up their borders and punishing the
00:41:59.480
people that grew up in those countries that like those countries they're putting
00:42:04.100
those people in jail they're also continuing their crazy spending their tax
00:42:09.600
policies everything else they are going to collapse uh R said things made here
00:42:14.420
are so expensive because of unions and regulations so the imported things will
00:42:18.060
just get more expensive and nothing else I hope not but you might be right R T said
00:42:22.240
this is minor pain uh on the Biden story uh Corgi Mom said if you are at the
00:42:28.900
point where you have to follow stickers on stage you can't decide to screw Nancy
00:42:34.360
Pelosi at that stage if you would like to be a part of uh well I could take that
00:42:41.040
another way and say really that only somebody with brain fever would be
00:42:44.680
somebody that would say screw Nancy Pelosi but I think we might be talking about
00:42:47.480
two different things go to blaze tv.com slash Glenn hit $40 off right now your
00:42:53.160
subscription blaze tv.com slash Glenn and join the family all right Stephen Moore
00:43:56.320
this is the glenn beck program want to get right to it with steven moore tariffs today
00:44:05.680
is liberation day what the president is calling uh and he is he's going to be in the rose garden
00:44:11.740
at about four o'clock this afternoon talking about tariffs and today is the day they all go in what
00:44:16.600
does this mean not just for the country but what does it mean for you at the grocery store
00:44:22.480
wherever you're doing your shopping here in the next uh well we don't know how long i would imagine
00:44:28.380
a long time these don't seem like they're going to be temporary um we'll talk to steven moore about
00:44:33.820
that and try to get a a temperature and a read on what the white house is trying to do and what it's
00:44:40.120
going to best case scenario we know the worst case scenario and most likely scenario and what it's
00:44:45.820
going to mean to you in just a second first do you remember how naive we were that we used to think
00:44:50.740
that you know companies were doing that we were doing business with actually had our best interest
00:44:54.720
at heart i'm i'm just waiting for the day when rfk comes out and says yeah you know those uh lemonade
00:45:00.480
commercials where grandpa was on the you thought grandpa was nice actually it's only yellow because
00:45:05.220
they watered down agent orange and that's what that lemonade was i mean you'd have to be pretty stupid
00:45:11.440
to think now that these a lot of these big businesses care about anything more than their bottom line
00:45:17.160
uh they support things that a lot of us are not uh for i mean when did you think that a phone company
00:45:23.680
would be giving money to support abortions and you're cool with that i mean if you're with verizon
00:45:29.620
that's what you're saying you're not saying can you hear me now you're saying i'm cool with that
00:45:33.580
patriot mobile is different it is a christian-owned company with awesome felt cell phone coverage in
00:45:40.520
fact they're on all of the same cell towers so you get exactly the same coverage if you're on one of
00:45:44.760
the big three and they take a portion of their money and they use it to support amazing causes
00:45:50.260
all the first first amendment second amendment you know all of the amendments they're fans of
00:45:54.180
what a crazy thought they care about you they care about me and the future of america because we all
00:45:59.920
have that in common with our children and grandchildren you can have the same great cell service
00:46:04.360
talk to an american every time you need customer service and you know where your money's going it's
00:46:08.860
going to a good place the choice is really obvious especially when i tell you get a free month of

00:46:25.600
steven are you there good morning how are you man i glad and great to be with you thank you very
00:46:33.660
much uh today is liberation day how are you feeling well you know i i think it's a liberation day but
00:46:44.660
i'm feeling a little maybe trepidation day as well we'll see what that announcement is i'll be out there
00:46:49.540
at the rose garden at four so i don't know exactly the details i don't think anybody does except donald
00:46:54.180
trump at this point um i look i'm a free trade guy i understand that the you know benefits of uh
00:47:00.220
countries trading with each other uh benefits both countries uh but i would say on the other hand
00:47:05.580
because this really is a debate where i could go out and you know either side of it yeah trump does
00:47:10.200
have a very important point glenn which is that we do a lot of people don't understand that you've got
00:47:15.560
a wise listenership but a lot of americans don't understand that we are the lowest tariff country in
00:47:20.660
the world right now among all the major trading partners and what trump is simply saying is it's not a
00:47:26.200
level playing field it's not fair uh these other countries are not playing by the rules and they
00:47:33.440
need to trade with the united states so they better get their act together they better start treating us
00:47:38.200
fairly or he's going to hit them with these tariffs now there is going to be some yeah i've been listening
00:47:43.760
to you for the last 10 15 minutes you're right glenn there will be some costs to americans in terms of
00:47:49.180
buying cars and we might see a little rise in uh prices of things uh trump describes this as uh you
00:47:57.120
know short-term pain for long-term gain and i think it's for every american to kind of figure out where
00:48:02.680
they stand on this right now i'm a little bit worried about it but i will say this trump is the single best
00:48:07.880
negotiator i've ever met in my life and i think in the end he will prevail so is he going for just a
00:48:15.200
a strange level playing field i mean you can't say it's a you know an uh a free market because
00:48:22.380
there are tariffs involved but if our tariffs are only reflecting everybody's everybody else's then
00:48:27.320
it is a free market if you will uh just trying to bring everything level up to the you know the place
00:48:34.120
where everybody else is is that the goal here which would lead me to believe there might be some
00:48:40.180
short-term effects because we could turn the negotiating power on uh pretty quickly um or is
00:48:47.700
he trying to bring manufacturing back which is i mean i think he's calling it liberation day because
00:48:53.180
it harkens back to world war ii and he's liberating us from almost everything that we set up uh at right
00:49:02.960
after world war ii he's saying effectively with almost in almost every category all of that stuff is broken
00:49:09.300
and we can't do that anymore so is he saying we're not going to be part of this global thing anymore
00:49:14.600
we're going to bring manufacturing back here and that's going to be tough but it's the only way to
00:49:19.420
really truly grow our economy um by building things here which is it or is it both steven
00:49:27.360
these are complicated questions i you know and i can't get in donald trump's mind he you know look
00:49:33.840
let's start with why he won this election he won the election by winning blue collar you know middle
00:49:40.840
class voters into the republican party many of whom you know had voted democratic but realized that
00:49:46.500
trump was the one who really stood behind them um i believe glad you know the answer to your question
00:49:52.200
about how do we make america number one in manufacturing and you know obviously technology
00:49:57.460
and other industries that are so important i believe many of the other things that trump is doing
00:50:02.420
for example a lead article in the wall street journal this weekend uh didn't get a lot of
00:50:07.020
attention on the front page was that um you know that trump is deregulating our economy is going to
00:50:12.720
reduce costs for american companies by as much as a trillion dollars i was just to make us very
00:50:17.900
competitive i was just talking hang on just a second i was just talking about i'm not seeing enough
00:50:22.560
about cutting the regulation right and and also cutting of tax cuts because if you right if you don't have
00:50:29.460
those to go along with the tariffs this isn't going to work it's just not going to work yeah no great
00:50:35.500
minds think alike and that's exactly what i was going to say and you it was almost like we were
00:50:39.800
saying the same thing so you know you look at the tax plan that we put in you know uh larry cutler and
00:50:45.200
i put the very first version of that tax plan together for trump back what eight or nine years ago
00:50:49.480
and it was a huge success huge success um it uh go on one of my frustrations right now with the
00:50:56.200
trump administration with the president i love this guy i mean i would do you know i would go
00:51:00.060
through a burning building for him and he wouldn't do the same for the country um have you heard him
00:51:04.560
talk a lot about the tax cut in the last month no no have you heard him talk about deregulation
00:51:10.320
last month no it's all been about tariffs right and you know that's the medicine but people want to
00:51:15.960
see the good stuff the one there are issues that unify the republican party like lowering tax rates
00:51:21.240
deregulating economy pro-american energy policy those kinds of things
00:51:25.760
frankly the tariff issue is an issue that kind of divides us i mean some of my best friends are in
00:51:31.160
favor of it i'm kind of on the fence on it others are strongly against it so i want to see trump
00:51:36.640
talking a little bit more about all of the benefits of these other things that he's doing i mean the
00:51:42.240
fact i've waited 40 years glenn for a president to say we're going to dismantle the u.s department of
00:51:48.520
education because it's totally useless and it probably does more damage to our schools well he did it
00:51:52.800
i know he did i mean he i was there when he signed that executive order that was amazing
00:51:57.620
he's doing incredible things for our country but a lot of that gets overshadowed because all he's
00:52:02.440
talking about right now is tariffs well he's got to bring a lot of people to the table so um what do
00:52:09.120
you think is going to happen at four i mean he obviously picked four o'clock because the stock market
00:52:13.720
is closed right yeah i guess so i mean i probably you may very well be right um i think it's going to be
00:52:20.620
you know i don't nobody knows exactly what he's going to say but i think he's going to call for
00:52:24.800
10 to 20 across the board tariffs on just about anything that comes in the u.s uh now that's going
00:52:30.820
to raise prices i mean if you put a tax on things that come in you know to some extent uh you know
00:52:36.440
consumers will pay the cost of that um and then i think he's going to go after certain countries that
00:52:43.480
are the worst abusers like china and i'm by the way i'm all in favor of going after china i think china
00:52:48.520
is a menace story you i do too you were one of the first people started talking about this
00:52:51.860
25 years ago so uh you know china is the enemy one thing i don't get and and uh i say this with
00:52:58.960
all due respect because i do love this president i don't understand why we've had so much discussion
00:53:02.720
about canada that canada is one of our most important allies and why aren't we talking about
00:53:07.860
china and some of these other countries that are uh you know dangerous to our economic and national
00:53:14.880
security yeah i've been questioning that so so let me ask you best case scenario what happens what do
00:53:22.980
we look like in a year from now that other countries dramatically bring down their terrorists it's not
00:53:28.780
just terrorists by the way glenn and trump's made a important point here it's also what's called what
00:53:33.800
are called non-tariff barriers the fact that uh many of these countries have various rules that close
00:53:40.440
the markets uh to american products and i'm not just talking about manufacturing products you know
00:53:45.900
we're the breadbasket of the world we have the greatest most productive farmers in the world we
00:53:49.900
produce more food and agriculture products than any other country and yet many countries lock out our
00:53:55.640
our wheat and our corn and our barley and our meat uh our dairy products so i think if this works out
00:54:03.220
and i would never bet against this president i think you're going to see other countries having to open
00:54:07.760
up their markets to american manufacturers and american farmers and american technology by the way
00:54:14.380
the tech our technology companies are completely discriminated against by the europeans in these
00:54:18.820
other countries so there's a lot to be angry about brussels said uh i think yesterday or early this
00:54:25.640
morning uh we got war plans you know economic war plans you go ahead you launch these we're we're
00:54:32.360
relaunching uh our own attack you know tomorrow bluster or real i'm sorry who who said that uh brussels
00:54:40.300
yeah eu oh the eu yeah right okay well let me address that because first of all i'm so sick and tired
00:54:48.960
of these sanctimonious europeans we don't hang out enough steven i just love you go ahead okay i mean
00:54:58.520
you know oh my gosh how dare donald trump do this you know he's starting a trade war and i know what
00:55:03.300
donald trump would say if he was on your show right now yeah he would say what are they talking about
00:55:07.440
we're our terrorists are one third as high as theirs are right they've got a lot of nerve to say trump is
00:55:12.480
causing a trade war i mean you know it's like if i if i came up to you uh glenn and punched you in the
00:55:18.020
nose and then you tried to you know fight back and i said how dare you start a fight with me right i mean
00:55:23.540
so trump has the moral high ground here because we do open up our markets in the other countries by
00:55:30.160
the way there was a very famous incident that happened i wasn't there but my buddy larry kudlow
00:55:35.380
was there at one of the g20 meetings i think it was in ottawa and the europeans were sitting there you
00:55:40.580
know uh complaining and grousing about trump was talking about terrorists and you know i don't know
00:55:46.320
if you're aware of this but trump it's on the record people were there said it trump said okay you know
00:55:51.280
why don't we all go to zero on terror i know what the europeans ran for the door as quickly as they
00:55:55.880
could i know i know i know so now tell me what tell me what you think um is is is a likely scenario
00:56:04.920
if things don't go exactly the way you know i i just bring this up because paul krugman you know
00:56:09.820
the new york times he said you know when when by don't dismiss the careful work of our statistical
00:56:14.680
agencies because you're feeling angry on the checkout line i don't want to say that about tariffs i don't
00:56:20.940
want i i mean it's going to make things harder to buy what you need and we shouldn't downplay that
00:56:27.380
the president's not even downplaying that uh he says it's gonna it's gonna be a little painful for a
00:56:32.620
while right yeah um but people are on the edge financially and you know no amount of political
00:56:38.380
theory helps people pay for the groceries or makes it feel better when you're paying for the
00:56:42.440
groceries so i don't want to be in that camp what should people mentally prepare for that is a
00:56:47.940
likely scenario even if it turns out that it was the right thing what's coming our way
00:56:53.880
so uh i think that trump has has um has made a mistake here in the sense that um we should have
00:57:04.340
done this tax bill first yeah i agree and that would have been a huge victory everybody understands i
00:57:10.440
hope your listeners understand if we don't get this thing done that we're talking about a three
00:57:14.900
thousand dollar per family tax increase uh january 1st and by the way every single democrat in the
00:57:20.300
congress voted for that a three thousand dollar per family tax increase so we should um i i i hope
00:57:26.960
as he's talking about these tariffs he links that to the fact that he's talking about you know a major
00:57:33.160
uh growth enhancing tax reduction you know i like his idea for example glenn where he said look if
00:57:40.880
you're going to bring something into the country you're going to pay a 15 percent tariff on it but
00:57:44.340
if it's made in america where you're only going to pay a 15 percent tax i love that idea let's do
00:57:49.440
it let's implement that right now i know what you're doing is giving a little bit of a favoritism
00:57:54.680
to stuff that's made in michigan and ohio and maine and vermont my guess is he would have done that
00:58:00.100
if he could count on the republicans there's two groups of people i know there's two groups of people
00:58:04.840
that worry me congress and quite honestly the justice department i don't know where pam bondy
00:58:10.960
is but that's a different story but congress needs to do their job right and and uh you know i i think
00:58:18.820
that you're right it's a what are we a day 80 90 i can't keep track but it's amazing what trump
00:58:24.220
has done already i know but why is it i mean trump should have that tax bill on his desk he should
00:58:29.160
it's popular he's got the voter mandate what why is the senate that's sitting on this for five weeks
00:58:33.920
can't tell you i can't tell you so tell me about tell me about the tell me about the um uh the
00:58:45.100
regulations that you're seeing is is the regulation because tariffs tax cuts regulations tell me about
00:58:54.100
the regulations that you're seeing is it significant the regulation uh slicing enormously so uh so
00:59:02.580
remember do you remember glenn what was the first thing that uh joe biden did when he became president
00:59:07.100
uh energy yeah he killed the he killed all our energy infrastructure projects i mean you know that's
00:59:13.820
something one of our enemies would have done to us right i didn't did it to us he shut down the
00:59:17.500
pipelines he put incredible incredibly onerous uh climate change taxes on our oil and gas and coal
00:59:25.720
industry shut down remember hillary clinton saying well that's okay the coal miners can become computer
00:59:30.500
programmers or something that's working out exactly so uh you know trump is opening up our our energy we
00:59:37.680
have more oil gas and minerals by the way you know this new uh secretary of interior uh uh governor
00:59:44.360
uh doug uh bergam bergam bergam he's doing an amazing job you know we have 10 trillion dollars of
00:59:50.900
of uh mineable uh critical minerals in this country in the mountains of utah and dakotas and
00:59:57.700
we could do that we can do you know he's the the so but what i want to ask you allow more mergers and
01:00:04.600
acquisitions so our companies can be more effective it's all over the board um it's on transportation
01:00:10.220
policy um and that's going to cut costs dramatically for american um consumers and and that's a really
01:00:17.780
positive thing in fact when i give talks to small businesses you give a lot more talks than i do
01:00:22.300
i always ask the men and women and i said which is worse for you the tax burden or the regulation
01:00:27.980
you know what they say regulations regulations yeah regulations every time okay steven hang on just
01:00:33.000
a sec we're talking to steven more uh let me tell you about pre-born here for 60 seconds then back to
01:00:38.120
steven uh there are certain moments in our lives that serve serve to define our life and define us
01:00:45.700
we make decisions that will affect not only our future but the future of others uh and that's the
01:00:52.120
same for many many women that are struggling getting up today and having to decide what am i going to do
01:00:58.140
choose life or choose abortion and we think it's simple but it's not for these women they feel trapped
01:01:06.300
most of them don't feel like they have anywhere to turn they have nobody in their life that would
01:01:10.740
support the birth nobody in their life that would help they don't have the money uh and it's easy to
01:01:16.700
condemn and easy just to say well it's an easy decision but it's not for them this is where pre-born
01:01:22.340
comes in they change hearts and minds and they do it with action when it comes to abortion the first
01:01:28.480
thing they do is they show that expecting mom a free ultrasound of their unborn child so
01:01:33.760
it connects with mom that's not just tissue that is my child that dramatically changes the um the
01:01:42.260
chances that she will choose life for a child but then there's always something else like i mean it's
01:01:46.880
really as simple as i need a baby stroller and i can't afford a baby stroller honestly it sometimes
01:01:53.860
comes down to things like that this is where pre-born comes in they take care of mom and the baby for up to
01:02:00.300
two years afterwards providing them with all kinds of things that they need this is how we save both
01:02:06.060

01:02:25.200
here with steven moore talking about uh liberation day the tariffs that are going into effect potentially
01:02:44.440
today steven one of the things i'm trying to i'm struggling with on this is what is the actual
01:02:50.440
goal here because if the goal is to get tariffs everywhere in the world to zero i think that's a
01:02:56.700
laudable goal and i would love that if it would take a bunch of threats to get people to do that
01:03:01.580
i think it would be fantastic but if tariffs are good policy which the president seems to think they
01:03:06.580
are would we even want that outcome well look tariffs are taxes there's no question about it and
01:03:14.300
i believe the united states has actually benefited from the fact that we are the you know one of the
01:03:19.120
freest trade countries in the world you know but but incidentally over the last 50 years
01:03:22.860
no hello no oh my gosh dick cheney dick cheney dick and liz cheney they didn't want you to hear
01:03:31.240
that answer i'll tell you that right now where's mark zuckerberg i'll tell you that right we shouldn't
01:03:37.020
have taken the the facebook phone uh yeah we just lost him in the middle of that call sorry about that
01:03:41.780
well uh thank you steven moore because we got to move on but uh committee to unleash
01:03:46.100
prosperity that answer well i wanted to hear it i asked him how come that happens during my one
01:03:52.620
question what was your question again i said yeah is the goal to get it to zero if it is that's great
01:03:58.640
okay if tariffs are good policy here's his answer stew shut up stupid stupid question i want to ask
01:04:06.180
the question is trump serious about actually raising taxes on the rich to pay for the no tips
01:04:14.000
tax there's no way that's real it can't be real i don't buy it i think it's just i think it's a
01:04:19.060
leak i think there are people in the white house who do believe that yes however i do not think
01:04:23.380
donald trump is one of those no i i find that really hard to believe he's got to lower everybody's
01:04:29.360
taxes and cut regulations and sail through and do everything right on the tariffs glenn beck that's a
01:04:38.580
hard hard sell hard job to do but if anybody can do it he can real estate agents i trust dot com is

01:04:58.880
the same no matter what the whole process is going to be challenging it is hard especially in an economy
01:05:04.620
like today buying or selling a house involves a ton of work that has to be done correctly and when i
01:05:09.760
say work i mean everything from paperwork to the actual physical labor everything in between it's a
01:05:15.960
whole lot of plates that you have to keep spinning all at the same time and then you have to pack those

you know i have to tell you i saw something yesterday just i just this just blows my mind
01:06:17.740
um you know the war that is going on at the tesla showrooms uh it's not just with bullets bombs
01:06:25.740
baseball bats intimidation uh but also with lies and these lies it just it has to stop it has to
01:06:33.300
stop and everyone will say conspiracy theory and it is not and yesterday we found out for sure it is
01:06:40.520
not do you remember the you remember the name nina jankiewicz who was nina jankiewicz do you remember
01:06:47.080
you know the name does sound familiar i am not there though our disinformation czar oh okay she was
01:06:53.540
our disinformation czar very short-lived very short-lived and remember all the things she was
01:07:00.000
involved in and you're like wait a minute she's our disinformation so she's she is the queen of
01:07:04.740
disinformation yes okay and everybody said well that's a conspiracy theory well um yesterday we find
01:07:11.340
out that she along with carlos alvarez aranos uh a communications professional that's in quotes
01:07:18.820
uh with ties to biden's department of defense and uh somebody who is just wealth and influence his
01:07:25.780
whole life they co-founded the american sunlight project okay now that sounds good except i think
01:07:34.640
their real goal is to cast darkness over truth and bury anybody who dares to seek the truth
01:07:40.840
their mission their mission was to bankrupt tesla still is to bring down elon musk's entire empire
01:07:50.100
not for any noble cause but for power and control and the preservation of a rotting establishment okay
01:07:56.300
so what you're seeing now we now know again is not grassroots but it's a calculated assault
01:08:03.500
tied to an ngo which is tied to the remnants of usaid's taxpayer funded slush funds
01:08:11.520
so she was the authority of disinformation when she was the head of the disinformation governance board
01:08:21.500
and that we said at the time and thank god enough people stood up and it went away her job was to
01:08:28.360
silence dissent now she's refusing to name any of the donors okay sunlight sure but not for us i mean
01:08:35.780
no sunlight here so he's her partner has suddenly been scrubbed from the project's website he's no
01:08:43.800
longer what i was never involved what are you this is not the man you're looking for pay no attention
01:08:48.580
to the man behind the curtain all that stuff these are people that have cloaked themselves in the garb of
01:08:55.320
righteousness the whole time uh and they've been wielding influence you know honed by years of
01:09:03.500
government connections and here's the cost america to you and me good people journalists whistleblowers
01:09:11.820
everyday citizens anyone who tried to sound the alarm anyone who saw through the lies and who she was
01:09:20.440
and what they were doing they had an organized orchestrated campaign to discredit them now they're
01:09:28.980
doing it to tesla and musk and anyone else who questions the narrative have we had enough of this yet
01:09:35.080
the machine is relentless it never stops from every direction for almost 25 years
01:09:42.120
least the ones i know for 25 years we have all been branded as heretics conspiracy theorists
01:09:49.360
ages grandparent killers nazis you name it families all over the country because of people like
01:09:57.360
jankiewicz and the lies that they perpetrated by saying a person who's telling you that is just a liar
01:10:03.840
and we now find out that was funded by the government and they are indeed the liars
01:10:10.100
families crumbled under this daughter in ohio stopped speaking to her dad because he doubted joe biden's
01:10:18.420
fitness and cnn told her well he's got to be a traitor to america because there's no truth to
01:10:24.720
that what did we find out yesterday brother shunned in texas for refusing the vaccine labeled a murderer
01:10:31.020
while governor andrew cuomo's nursing home scandal just gets you know buried beneath the headlines and
01:10:37.240
nobody pays attention to the actual killer mainstream media complicit cowed amplified the lies
01:10:45.600
ignored all the evidence how many lives have they destroyed i would say millions millions
01:10:52.860
the protocols of zion no no the protocols of deceit have been perfected by the media and the left for
01:11:01.380
years if you question barack obama joe biden if you if you if you question biden's decline
01:11:09.240
you were unpatriotic if you hesitated on the vaccine you were a menace you support donald trump
01:11:15.640
you're a russian pawn or a nazi all the while our government has now confirmed it was sending your
01:11:22.620
tax dollars to actual nazis in ukraine but that was a conspiracy theory none of the truth was actually
01:11:33.280
true not the russian asset claims not the rape allegations not the vilification of an american
01:11:39.380
company that's daring to innovate with electricity yet half the country has swallowed all of this
01:11:47.060
whole taught to hate people by people like jankowitz and her ilk because she's not alone family shattered
01:11:57.240
thanksgiving tables emptied friendships dissolved because the deceivers had weaponized trust into a
01:12:04.600
tool of division and those who saw it and spoke out paid dearly jobs were lost reputations ruined
01:12:12.540
voices silenced i know i was there i was one of them ostracized for daring to speak out and say
01:12:20.240
this is what i saw this is what i believe is going on i said that oh my gosh my inbox flooded with
01:12:26.340
threats while my children were literally told in front of me by total strangers that they will
01:12:32.860
never know how evil your father really is and his lies you should know he is a father is a disgrace
01:12:40.440
that was said to my children in front of me by people who didn't even know me
01:12:45.920
why because they believed the lies that these people were shoveling
01:12:51.280
now i can feel sorry for myself you can feel sorry for yourself for what we've gone through but
01:12:57.600
i have to tell you the greater tragedy is for those the ones i really feel with feel for are the ones
01:13:02.740
who are still trapped in this matrix of lies they're still there because nobody's paying a price for what
01:13:08.520
they said you know they defended the villains cuomo jankowitz the ngos and i don't know why they're
01:13:16.160
still there maybe it's because the truth is too painful to face they don't want to face that they don't
01:13:20.220
want to believe or they're just not getting the information you know they've been conditioned to
01:13:26.000
hate a hatred as deep and as unyielding as those hatreds that are born in the conflict zones of the
01:13:33.080
middle east quite honestly the very same leftists that support all of those hatreds are the same ones
01:13:39.300
that are trying to get you to hate your neighbor and how do you repair that mainstream media is not
01:13:46.640
going to they're not going to come out and go oh you know what we were wrong they're not going to do
01:13:50.740
that oh you know what turns out that wasn't a conspiracy theory oh you know what uh gee you don't
01:13:56.460
have a reason to watch us because we've either been lying to you and if we cared about it we would correct
01:14:02.620
it and we would make a big deal out of it and show you how we've changed but they don't most will
01:14:08.260
never know how badly they were abused how their loved ones were turned against them by a cabal that
01:14:13.920
thrived on just control and power the villains jankiewicz is one of them faceless bureaucratic
01:14:22.420
billionaire backers these aren't new they're just the latest in a long line of power hungry
01:14:29.160
manipulators from usa funded coups to the covid cover-ups they destroyed they destroyed our
01:14:38.780
country our trust for one another and not with violence well yeah they did actually with violence
01:14:43.440
do they burn cities to the ground but why quibble they did it with whispers and memos and boycotts
01:14:50.820
and if that didn't work they did burn your city down meanwhile the ones who actually cared the ones
01:14:58.040
who are really trying to find the truth that fought to expose cuomo's crimes who warned that biden was
01:15:04.820
not healthy he was senile those who defend tesla's right to exist lie in the rubble of all of this
01:15:14.080
their voice drowned out by the roar of the now machine-like mobs and that's what they are
01:15:20.160
people who refuse well i can't say refuse they no longer listen to reason they no longer are hearing
01:15:28.160
they're no longer feeling they're just simply marching towards the next fire that their masters
01:15:34.240
want them to light that's all it is we're watching a cult devour itself and it's taking everything
01:15:45.600
you may have already paid a heavy price but free at last free at last thank god almighty
01:15:53.200
we're free at last those still lost in the lies they're going to pay a lot more they're going to
01:15:58.000
lose their families their futures their grip on reality many of them already have they've lost
01:16:02.240
their grip on reality all because deceivers like jankowitz that we just found this out yesterday
01:16:08.600
taught them to hate the wrong enemy and as tesla stock you know waivers under this orchestrated
01:16:17.600
assault and that's what it is orchestrated assault the question is can we even reclaim a society
01:16:26.000
can can truth ever be reclaimed by a people who don't even know what the truth is anymore
01:16:40.860
bought into by so many people that it's impossible to unravel them that's what i'm really afraid of now
01:16:50.180
that's my that's my new because i'm seeing all of these things be exposed and people just not changing
01:16:56.380
their point of view they're seeing what's happening you know this whole country is being run by a mob of
01:17:03.360
billionaires like tesla meanwhile george soros is the one paying for the mobs in the streets
01:17:09.760
hello and it's not you know some anti-semitic trope that's reality you got the receipts gang
01:17:18.520
and yet it doesn't change them and i'm i'm so concerned that we have just built what they wanted
01:17:27.660
to build palestine versus israel palestinians against the jews where the jews can never do
01:17:35.580
anything right i mean i'm not saying they're perfect i'm not saying we're perfect we're not perfect
01:17:40.160
but no matter what they do the lies are so deep so entrenched so deeply embedded because it started
01:17:49.580
when they were in school that you just can't unwind that lie that's where we're at that's where we're
01:17:59.080
at right now that's why the abolishment of the department of defense is so critical that's why
01:18:05.120
everything that is being is happening right now that cuts the ties to the federal government
01:18:13.640
i just saw this story yesterday about jankowitz and i thought we how many times did we say we told
01:18:23.020
this story over and over again over and over again she can't be the head of the disinformation group of
01:18:29.640
the government first of all what kind of dystopian 1984 organization is that but look who she is
01:18:37.180
she was testifying in front of congress and she actually smirked smirked you're the sunlight
01:18:46.100
foundation right so tell us who your donors are can't do that sorry they know exactly what they're
01:18:58.960
pray for your family members that are still buying into this pray that they wake up because
01:19:06.760
they're in a cult and we just got to love them out of that cult more in a minute you want to feel
01:19:14.620
like you and your family are safe at all times right but safety comes at a price when you own a gun
01:19:18.900
the cost of that safety might literally be the other person's life if you have to take it while
01:19:24.360
protecting yourself or the ones that you love then you have to take it but that is not that's usually
01:19:29.180
a rare thing burner technology believes in supplying you with a few extra choices ones that don't
01:19:34.840
involve having to use lethal force they're big believers in the first amendment but this company
01:19:39.880
was started by a guy who was driving in his car somebody had road rage he decides just to pull over
01:19:44.600
so the guy can pass him the guy doesn't the other guy pulls right behind him gets out of the car
01:19:49.960
this guy who started berna he actually looked at his glove box started to reach because he had a gun
01:19:56.080
and he's like no i'm not going to kill the guy over this he gets out of the car empty-handed
01:20:00.960
and the guy beats him almost to death that's when he went i gotta have something that's non-lethal i
01:20:07.620
still didn't want to kill that guy but you know what i am not doing that again berna b-y-r-n-a dot com
01:20:14.900

01:29:04.080
when i first started warning about china's role in the fentanyl crisis this is years before we started
01:29:10.280
talking about sanctions and sanctions today coming out you can't have sanctions on china high enough
01:29:15.960
for my taste but every time i talked about china and their role in the fentanyl crisis called an
01:29:21.600
alarmist a conspiracy theorist you know you're just so eager to paint villains with a broad brush and i
01:29:27.760
can't get a broad enough brush for villains quite frankly that was i don't even know eight nine years
01:29:34.080
ago and now it's in the headlines again did you notice yesterday congress confirmed it experts have
01:29:41.260
testified to it the truth is finally a little bit mainstream the chinese communist party or at least
01:29:48.700
at the very least elements within it have enabled uh subsidized and promise uh and and profited off of
01:29:57.860
the flow of synthetic opioids fentanyl okay and that they profited off of all of it coming into the united
01:30:05.480
states and they knew what they were doing what they were doing and i wish i felt vindicated today but i don't
01:30:11.260
the truth that was once dismissed is too dark to be real is is really only being proven to be darker
01:30:19.200
we have watched families bury their children we've watched our communities unravel we've read the
01:30:27.520
reports and seen the data and still the scale of it is overwhelming
01:30:32.660
but doesn't it all feel familiar because we've been here before we have only the last time the
01:30:41.420
the roles were reversed back in the 1830s the british empire had a problem china had things the british
01:30:48.840
wanted tea silk porcelain but the chinese didn't want what britain was offering so they had to come up
01:30:54.880
with something else and they found a solution it was something that was grown in india opium and the british
01:31:01.600
started trafficking it into china and the result mass addiction social collapse and eventually war
01:31:09.140
isn't that great the chinese emperor tried to shut it down tried to protect his people
01:31:14.540
and for that britain just sent in gunboats they were called the opium wars and they weren't just about
01:31:21.980
trade they were all about power about profit about poisoning a population that had to gain the upper
01:31:28.920
hand it was evil then and it's evil now and it's happening this is exactly what i told you was
01:31:34.320
happening and now we've just confirmed it what britain did to china china is now doing to america and we
01:31:40.860
are watching the replay of one of the worst songs ever in history except it's just new instruments
01:31:48.600
some of them are digital different players same melody same song and yet like the empires of old we
01:31:56.540
pretend we don't even hear what song i don't know what are you talking about fentanyl is the new opium
01:32:02.420
and the chinese communist party is the new merchant cartel and america we're the addict we're hooked
01:32:09.800
we're hollowed out we're held hostage but this isn't just about fentanyl at all that would be bad enough but
01:32:16.960
it's not it's it's it's worse than that who's doing this to us china a country that is committing
01:32:24.480
genocide forced labor slave camps is what we would have called them at one point the full spectrum of
01:32:32.140
state engineered suffering and death in china over a million uyghur muslims have been swept into
01:32:39.520
re-education centers prison camps they've been beaten they've been brainwashed they've been sterilized
01:32:46.680
they've been separated from their families many of them are just put to work if they survive that
01:32:52.380
you can sew some clothes you can assemble some electronics and they're making the goods that we
01:32:57.700
buy every day and here's what's horrible we know it we know it it's not a secret it's not even
01:33:05.040
controversial anymore the u.s government formally declared it's genocide human rights organizations all
01:33:12.340
around the world have documented the abuses survivors have testified investigators have
01:33:17.860
traced the products made in those camps all the way to the shelves in our stores and yet we just
01:33:24.600
keep shopping i do it too i'm not lecturing you this is monologue i'm far too egotistical this monologue
01:33:30.320
really is about me because we wanted our iphones we wanted things to be convenient we want our cheap
01:33:36.600
shirts we want our tech toys we want our solar panels and smart devices and if they're made by
01:33:42.140
slaves i don't i don't know i mean i don't know if that's even true even though we do but we say
01:33:48.540
we're against slavery just not that kind of slavery you know not the kind that makes our stuff more
01:33:53.120
affordable not the kind that you know happens behind a closed border that we can't actually verify i mean
01:33:59.000
really not the kind that might raise the price of our lifestyle or cost us convenience in any way you
01:34:05.220
know like when americans were against slavery before unless it meant that you know you had to go out
01:34:10.300
and work in the field and pay more for your cotton or do the things that others should do
01:34:14.280
you know for free because i own them it's the same thing the secret is we all like to consider
01:34:23.640
ourselves moral but we like our morality abstract clean neat you know what i mean in a little box
01:34:29.300
i would have stood up back then uh-huh really i would have spoken out against slavery in the 1800s
01:34:37.660
i would have marched against fascism in the 1930s i would have said something really you know half the
01:34:45.200
nation right now couldn't give you a correct definition of fascism and yet it is the most
01:34:49.460
overused word in the english language at least in america right now that insists gender fascism is
01:34:56.460
everywhere define it we'll fight against it i mean unless it benefits us politically
01:35:03.140
and remember poll after post pro poll shows growing number of us we don't really have an opinion
01:35:08.840
we're kind of undecided how are you undecided on all of this stuff well it's not clear i haven't
01:35:15.640
paid enough attention to it i've been busy it's complicated and anyway what could i do you know
01:35:21.780
i've said all of those things as i was reading this story about fentanyl i just it was like just
01:35:29.500
this giant finger pointing at me i've spoken out but i've thought those things i've said those things
01:35:35.940
to myself as as i was making notes for this monologue last night i was typing them out on an ipad
01:35:43.940
you know in part built by those people who may not have had the actual option to go i don't want
01:35:51.980
to build that ipad i've sat here in this throne calling you to action and yet kind of making peace
01:36:03.320
with my own compromises and i don't know where it's i don't know where to stop i don't i just know this
01:36:10.380
i can't lie to myself about that anymore because the truth is collective sin
01:36:15.180
i think may be the most common sin among us among me my circle my friends my family me we claim to
01:36:26.480
know better we do i will come on here and i will preach about the power of the individual to make a
01:36:32.540
difference we are swimming in complicity why here's what i tell myself i'm tired i'm tired
01:36:44.480
or i'm too entertained to get out of the water quite honestly
01:36:49.780
we look back at history and shake our heads how could they let that happen how did they not see
01:36:57.560
we're doing the same thing we are repeating almost everything from history at the same time
01:37:03.480
right now how could the world ignore the signs of genocide how could americans tolerate slavery
01:37:10.320
how could so many good people do nothing while evil marched forward but here we are millions of people
01:37:16.800
are still enslaved today in fact more than ever before genocide not in the past tense it's happening
01:37:23.060
right now how about child sex slavery don't want to talk about that we're ignoring it because it's
01:37:29.780
inconvenient it costs too much to care it's too hard i think really because history's worst songs
01:37:38.060
have a beat we find easy to dance to you look around today and you see all the old songs playing
01:37:44.840
on repeat economic slavery propaganda dressed up as patriotism the exploitation of the vulnerable
01:37:51.120
the weaponization of addiction moral blindness passed off as just a nuisance printing of money as the
01:37:57.360
clowns of the printing press you know giving us all kinds of cakes and circuses all the while telling
01:38:01.600
us no it really it's different this time and above it all the lie we keep telling ourselves
01:38:08.940
well in the past i would have done the right thing would we would i i can't speak for you would i am i
01:38:16.260
fentanyl crisis is just it's not a natural disaster it's not an accident it is a deliberate
01:38:24.540
poisoning of our population the u.s government has now admitted that china's regime has directed or at
01:38:31.880
least enabled the flow of these drugs for strategic gain destruction is not a side effect that's the point
01:38:41.620
and what have we done about it boy these tariffs on china can't come fast enough for me
01:38:46.860
and at worst we we enable it on the border our government in the last administration they partnered
01:38:54.300
with it we've wagged a few fingers we've issued a few sanctions we sign a bill here or there but we
01:39:00.980
haven't changed we haven't sacrificed anything who's buying the drugs we don't even want to talk about
01:39:05.800
that who are the child porn marketers selling the children to we don't want to think about that we
01:39:12.320
don't even want to think about the question because we know the answer it has to be us
01:39:16.800
maybe one of our friends family neighbors we just don't want to believe that to be true
01:39:23.480
but for this problem to be this big it has to be true
01:39:27.640
and i've kept telling myself that you know my job is to make you aware of things but is that enough
01:39:37.120
because we're not just ignoring you know the worst songs of history we're humming along
01:39:45.200
we're humming along i i found myself last night thinking i believe in the power of the individual
01:39:51.360
more than anything else i believe that one person can make a difference i say it over and over again
01:39:57.420
i believe it is one of my core beliefs to the center of my being
01:40:01.880
and then i find myself at times going yeah but what does it matter
01:40:07.180
i've excused myself because i'm tired i've already done so much oh my gosh boy am i going to pay for
01:40:15.120
that one i'm tired somebody else should carry this for a while and nobody else is coming it's just
01:40:21.920
what are we going to do honey what are we going to do well nobody else is coming oh in the end i just
01:40:29.020
want to remind myself it's just going to be me at the judgment seat me not the whole crowd me there is
01:40:36.420
no collective salvation no collective judgment except from historians but there is collective sin
01:40:43.400
and the individual is still the only one that can break the cycle
01:40:48.960
i don't i don't i don't want to be another comfortable coward in the line of them stretching
01:40:54.760
back through time i really want my grandchildren to be able to tell the story that i stood up for
01:41:00.500
what was right i wrote about it i talk about it did i care enough to actually change my buying
01:41:10.500
habits holy cow how can i come to you every day and preach a message of individual salvation of christ
01:41:19.680
when i'm living and i don't know in my own life living and building a world of collective excuses
01:41:30.820
i can't say it more plainly than that what england did to china during the opium wars
01:41:40.480
evil they flooded a nation with drugs for profit crippled its society called it trade and now
01:41:45.400
china's doing the same to us what china is doing now enslaving people destroying culture erasing faith
01:41:51.580
evil and it is it rivals some of the darkest chapters of the 20th century and we're
01:41:56.880
we're funding it what we buy matters what we ignore matters what we excuse matters
01:42:02.840
shame on me shame on me shame on me for knowing it and then not realizing what i was saying is i'm
01:42:14.800
writing something to lecture you about it and i look down and i'm looking at my ipad shame on me
01:42:20.260
i can preach as long as i continue to partake it's okay
01:42:27.820
i don't want to be a hypocrite i don't think anybody wants to be a hypocrite do you i really
01:42:36.100
and if anything in this monologue has stirred you maybe you feel like i do
01:42:42.620
and i don't know what this all means i don't know but let's do something let's stop pretending
01:42:49.140
history is behind us because it's not we're making history every day and i'd like to start
01:42:53.880
making history in a different direction you know i'd like to stop singing the same worst songs
01:42:59.360
maybe we write something new because the world doesn't need more outrage it needs more courage
01:43:05.600
it needs more people that are willing to be torch bearers let others see the light
01:43:11.200
and they can join us or not join us it doesn't matter it doesn't matter
01:43:14.780
but here's what does matter what we do in our own private lives that matters
01:43:44.360
our memories are priceless all those moments we've shared down through the years the laughter and the tears
01:43:51.460
the good and the bad the memories we've made with the people we love
01:43:56.660
in your head and maybe on your phone in a cloud
01:44:03.160
photos home videos tapes nobody's even watching those anymore
01:44:07.040
those are just decaying wherever you have them they're just decaying
01:44:10.000
what happens when those memories begin to fade from the photos and the tapes and the videos
01:44:14.620
bad news eventually they're going to fade out of your memory
01:44:17.460
and then they're lost to the dustbin of history
01:44:24.860
by converting your old photos videos and other recordings into high quality digital formats
01:44:29.540
that can be stored on the cloud and will last a lifetime
01:44:32.340
so don't let don't let all the precious moments you've gathered throughout your life just slip away
01:44:36.720
especially when it's super easy to preserve them
01:44:39.620
check protecting your memories off your spring cleaning to-do list with legacy box
01:45:03.720
who's looking at me like that wasn't necessary what a downer you are
01:45:17.760
you really are a downer and there's a lot of things you really should beat yourself up on
01:45:22.220
i mean i can list them i could do a whole show yeah
01:45:24.780
in fact i've got one plan later on studio's america
01:45:26.960
yeah just a list of things you should be responsible for
01:45:29.560
really i'm not saying i'm responsible for it i'm saying we're all responsible for all these things
01:45:34.080
i don't want to yeah i don't want to hold myself up as some shining example i was what i was writing
01:45:40.020
stuff on my ipad yesterday that's weird change that monologue
01:45:44.200
you do not need to convince us that you're a hypocrite
01:45:50.860
it's it's a bit more complicated than that isn't it
01:45:54.360
i mean like let's just say we went to this world right
01:46:02.240
hang on can we get some conservative porn for that
01:46:27.940
your worry here right like you're essentially victimizing a bunch of people around the world by buying cheap goods
01:46:33.100
if you go to a world where we instead buy all of our stuff from america that would be really
01:46:38.180
like in theory really good for american workers right like there would be lots of jobs here lots of manufacturing
01:46:42.920
i'm not by the way i'm not saying that i i'm willing to know but i'm willing to buy i just would like people to have a choice
01:46:50.080
well yes yeah yeah okay yeah but i mean taking it to its logical extreme for a second here
01:46:55.120
this would be really bad for the people you're talking about if we were not buying iphones from china
01:47:04.760
i don't know if we stop doing these are all the best jobs in china
01:47:11.920
well it could collapse and it would let lead to obviously
01:47:16.820
and maybe they would turn into a a great country that wanted to freely trade with us and we could do it in a better fashion
01:47:24.740
remember the process that we're all vilifying here has ripped
01:47:31.500
so while while it is important and it is america first that is the right way for our country to be thinking
01:47:37.760
these these these policies have benefited a lot of actual real people who aren't
01:47:44.880
i just want you to know i just want you to know
01:47:49.840
but that is the exact argument a lot of people made in the 1800s
01:47:54.520
you know well these people would have been over in africa
