monroe harlis wrote a great article in the federalist
00:02:36.800
about 1984 she starts with don't you see the whole aim of news speak is to narrow the range of
00:02:43.280
thought in the end we'll shall we shall make thought crime literally impossible because there will
00:02:48.640
be no words in which to express it that's directly from the novel 1984
00:02:53.600
um it reads now if you have read it recently like a newspaper honest to goodness a newspaper
00:03:02.560
from the left's rejection of objective truths to the media's manipulation of the language
00:03:09.040
we are living in 1984 the latest is now this uh cheap fakes that the president is somehow healthy
00:03:18.880
well in this case today all you need to know is some of the things that are happening right
00:03:24.800
now are directly from 1984 and a little bit of history we begin there in 60 seconds stand by

disney is on the ropes and will eventually collapse it will have to be sold off for parts i believe
00:04:05.920
uh and hopefully someone will restore it but these companies have gone so far off the tracks and we
00:04:13.520

let's say hello and welcome back to uh stu bergeer hello stu hey glenn how are you
00:05:38.400
good nice to have you nice to have you here um let's go into a couple of things here um i was reading
00:05:44.800
a story today about uh donald trump getting ready to go uh to the debate next week and he's preparing and
00:05:53.040
people are speculating why would he ever accept why would he have so you think donald trump is not
00:05:59.280
going to accept all of the baby conditions that uh joe biden has set for the uh uh for the the
00:06:07.680
debate of course he will he's not going to be said they're not going to say to him oh well he we
00:06:12.560
wanted to debate but he wouldn't he'll do it and he'll still probably do pretty well but donald trump
00:06:18.320
i mean uh joe biden is going to do uh better than he probably would in any other format and donald trump
00:06:26.240
said that probably pump him up now i don't know if i don't know if that is true but it sure explains
00:06:34.560
the performance of let's say uh the uh state of the union address where he was vigorous he was like wow
00:06:43.680
who is this guy i believe and we won't know for decades but i believe they are juicing him
00:06:52.080
on important nights this is not new this shouldn't come as a conspiracy theory or a shock to anybody
00:07:00.400
they did it with jfk and there they did it with uh uh fdr in fact fdr is probably the closest parallel
00:07:09.760
to joe biden um fdr the war was going well we're you know starting to turn the tides on um on germany
00:07:20.320
but we hadn't gone into d-day yet uh stall i'm sorry uh fdr comes back from the meeting with stalin um
00:07:28.160
and uh churchill in tehran and he as he comes back he's got a really bad violent cough he starts to lose
00:07:36.880
weight he's constantly fatigued his daughter anna was so freaked out by all of it that she
00:07:43.680
she pressed the doctors please could you please uh have him see a cardiologist at bethesda
00:07:52.320
so he went into bethesda hospital uh for an examination and when he came out everything was
00:07:58.720
great no the president's in perfect health however according to the medical notes that were published
00:08:07.120
six decades later that doctor diagnosed him with reduced lung capacity hypertension or high blood
00:08:15.920
pressure which we didn't have a way to treat back then acute bronchitis and most seriously acute
00:08:23.520
congestive heart failure so now they're not treating him because we didn't have the medication
00:08:30.160
the only treatment was regulating a patient's lifestyle uh and you know herbal drugs and then
00:08:36.720
telling him don't drink alcohol tobacco don't do any of that so that means in may of 1944 a month before d-day
00:08:48.640
the daily schedule of the u.s president unbeknownst to the american people was only four hours a day
00:08:56.880
he could only work and be involved four hours a day now he did that for a while and he started to
00:09:08.960
improve a little bit um but in july of 1944 um he had another doctor examine him and he said he's not going
00:09:19.120
to survive the term uh and he's got another full term coming up and there's an election and i don't
00:09:26.720
think he's going to make it for the entire full term in office panel of experts uh were called in they
00:09:33.440
all examined and uh they all agreed he's not going to make it okay did the american people know that
00:09:45.120
no they didn't it was too important to the country to make sure that he looks strong and vigorous
00:09:52.480
well what do you think is happening with joe biden do you honestly think that things that have done been
00:09:58.800
done before are not being done right now and what's disturbing about it is these people work for us
00:10:07.120
now i understand maybe perhaps in war although no i don't no i don't i need a president that is vigorous
00:10:16.720
and if a president is not vigorous especially at a time of war i don't know if you're paying attention to
00:10:22.000
what's going on in the world but we are growing ever so close to nuclear war there was a what was it uh
00:10:33.360
oh it was one of the former soviet satellite uh states and the president came out and he's like look
00:10:41.120
you can think whatever you want about the united states or whatever you want about russia but we're
00:10:47.440
out of this because it seems as though nato and russia both cannot back away from this and i think we
00:10:56.320
are months away from a nuclear war and somebody has got to stand up and say get to the peace table
00:11:04.400
uh and it's it's very compelling very compelling to listen to him
00:11:09.120
so should we know about the president's health of course we should but we won't because we are living
00:11:21.520
in the days of 1984 listen to these 15 things that um uh monroe harlis pointed out in the federalist 15
00:11:31.680
ways that that 1984 is 2024 quote from the book the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes
00:11:40.240
and ears it was their final most essential command have you seen this have you seen the party demanding
00:11:49.920
you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears all the time we're seeing it all the time
00:11:58.480
two endless wars quote they add nothing to the wealth of the world since whatever they produce
00:12:06.320
is used for purposes of war and the object of waging a war is always to be in a better position
00:12:12.400
in which to wage another war end quote have you seen the video of joe biden talking about american
00:12:20.080
weapons being used for direct strikes inside of russia and why are why why is why do some people
00:12:27.680
speculate that the real purpose of this is to get rid of all of our own old weapons so we can make
00:12:36.480
new weapons which will be better in the next war isn't this sound like exactly 1984 uh number three
00:12:46.080
separating babies from mothers at birth quote from the book already we're breaking down the habits of
00:12:51.840
thought which have survived from before the revolution children will be taken from their mothers at birth
00:12:57.520
as one takes eggs from a hen what exactly is the issue here well the issue is the well-being of a child
00:13:06.640
a living breathing human who is created for the sole purpose of being sold or ripped away from her mom
00:13:18.240
this is something that is happening through surrogacy
00:13:21.360
and honestly later in life it is happening because of political correctness
00:13:32.000
i hate purity i hate goodness i don't want virtue to exist anywhere i want everyone to be corrupt to
00:13:53.520
they tore him apart condemned him ray rice nothing compared
00:13:59.440
five the news lies one news one knows the news is all lies anyway from 1984
00:14:08.720
yeah well what do you think do we all know that the news is nothing but a lie and now the news is
00:14:16.720
saying that they are fighting disinformation six the destruction of the family the sex impulse was
00:14:23.040
dangerous to the party and the party had to turn it uh to account they had played a similar trick with
00:14:28.400
the instinct of parenthood the children on the other hand were systematically turned against their
00:14:32.960
parents and taught to spy on them and report their deviations the family had become in fact an
00:14:38.640
extension of the thought police do i need to give you an example seven political correctness don't
00:14:44.000
you see the whole aim of news speak is to narrow the range of thought in the end we shall we shall
00:14:49.200
make thought crime literally impossible because there are no words in which to express it
00:14:53.440
egg producers birthing people chest feeding eight persecution of political opponents power is a
00:15:03.360
means it is an end the object of persecution is persecution reporter president trump refers to
00:15:12.400
himself as a political prisoner and blames you directly what's your response sir he just smiles
00:15:17.680
nine the innocent are suffering how does one man assert his power over another winston by making him
00:15:25.200
suffer exactly by making him suffer obedience is not enough unless he is suffering how can you be
00:15:32.160
sure he's obeying your will and not his own how about the 75 year old paulette harlow who's in poor
00:15:40.400
health she also was somebody who i believe uh survived a a communist concentration camp she's in prison for
00:15:50.880
two years for praying outside of an abortion clinic truth is redefined freedom is the freedom to say that
00:15:58.640
two plus two equal four eleven hypocrisy from government agencies the ministry of peace concerns itself with
00:16:07.200
war the ministry of truth with lies the ministry of love with torture and the ministry of plenty with
00:16:13.440
starvation these contradictions are not accidental nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy they are
00:16:20.160
deliberate exercises in double think remember the fbi is a terrorist organization it's the american stasi
00:16:29.120
it exists entirely to terrorize the american people on behalf of a corrupt and evil regime no no no the fbi
00:16:35.760
is the center of truth contradicting beliefs double think means to the has that means the power of
00:16:47.360
holding two contradictory beliefs in one mind simultaneously accepting both of them just so we
00:16:52.640
hear we're clear here democrats who are campaigning against trump based on dubious charges of sexual assault
00:16:58.960
they engineered are still inviting people like bill clinton to headline big ticket events along with his
00:17:05.520
relationship with jeffrey epstein even though that's been well established they're still okay with
00:17:11.040
that 13 dates altered every record has been destroyed or falsified every book rewritten every picture
00:17:18.400
has been repainted every statue street building has been renamed every date has been altered
00:17:24.320
well in an attempt to replace easter the most important christmas or christian holiday of the year
00:17:29.920
with transgender day i think you know that kind of does it uh this is the beginning and worse is coming
00:17:39.280
14 no trust we have cut the links between child and parent between man and man no man and woman no one
00:17:46.720
dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer but in the future there will be no wives there will be no
00:17:52.640
friends and statistics are lies the fabulous statistics continued to pour out of the telescreen
00:18:00.400
as compared with last year there was more food more clothes more houses more furniture more cooking
00:18:06.160
pots more fuel more ships more helicopters more books more babies more of everything except for poverty
00:18:13.040

00:20:18.560
speed internet to any home or business uh and in the rural areas and none of that has happened after
00:20:28.000
three years none of that has happened not one in fact it's not projected to go into place until 2030.
00:20:37.440
so uh elon musk is saying you know this is government waste this is the way government works and it's
00:20:44.560
absolutely true who built the country who built it who built the railroad was it the government or was
00:20:52.960
it vanderbilt who found oil and brought us into this new century rockefeller or the government
00:21:03.280
who invented the internet and then made us the information center of the world was it al gore or was
00:21:11.200
it steve jobs nikolai tesla edison musk those are the names we remember not senator anybody
00:21:23.120
the gaza pier we have now spent 230 million dollars on that they didn't account for bad weather they
00:21:31.600
didn't know maybe the waves would get choppy and so now we have to take it down we spent 230 million
00:21:38.160
dollars on it and it's a failure in the infrastructure bill 7.5 billion dollars was spent on charging
00:21:49.040
stations all across the country after two years we have seven charging stations seven no no wait i'm sorry
00:22:00.400
as of may we now have eight all for that 7.5 billion dollars wouldn't the world be a better place wouldn't
00:22:12.560
america be better off if we would have taken 42 billion dollars and handed it to elon musk and said provide
00:22:21.920
internet free internet give them your starlink everybody gets a starlink 42 billion dollars you
00:22:31.120
could have had that done in six months with elon musk instead we won't see any of that god forbid those
00:22:40.640

00:25:01.120
while yeah good i know good to talk to you so uh by the way great stuff happening at the blaze
00:25:06.000
congratulations blaze blaze.com is better than it's ever i think ever been by far better than
00:25:12.160
it's ever been um and you brought a story that we're keeping in front of the paywall because it's
00:25:18.080
so important um you talk to a guy that just doesn't want to talk to anybody i don't know how you how you
00:25:24.720
got this um but uh there is a a guy a democrat who has been fighting against anthony fauci and
00:25:35.920
warning that he's going to destroy the world and kill all of us since 2000 what one yeah 2001 was
00:25:45.600
really when it began you know i i started you know researching this i wanted to really understand like
00:25:51.360
how you know there's been a lot of discussion about gain of function research and so i wanted to
00:25:56.000
you know like get an understanding when did this start you know what what's been the prior you know the
00:26:01.200
progress of it what's the history of it what i found going back to you know old news reports
00:26:08.240
even as far back as 2001 when the program began was that there was one name that continued to pop
00:26:13.040
up over and over and over again that when people would go and find people let's get the side of the
00:26:18.240
story that doesn't want this to continue and it was the same guy over and over again and his name
00:26:23.280
is dr richard ebright and i i had followed him on twitter since the beginning of the pandemic
00:26:28.640
i didn't really know much about him but i thought this is fascinating here's a guy you know i've been
00:26:33.760
following him for two or three years he's been doing this for two decades and i thought to myself
00:26:38.000
you know the world has heard anthony fauci's side of this story ad nauseam i think somebody should get
00:26:45.440
this guy's side of the story because it feels like he's probably been right so i reached out to him
00:26:50.560
called him and he immediately graciously agreed to give me his time and uh you know what you see is the
00:26:56.320
result of that so in the story you go on you know it was right after 9 11 and we had anthrax and uh
00:27:03.840
you know we got to prepare in case they start using bioweapons and that's when anthony fauci started
00:27:08.960
saying we need gain-of-function research and why was uh albright against this so he bright or he bright
00:27:19.360
sorry yeah he bright's position which i think has been vindicated is that the more uh biological
00:27:26.480
agents that you put in the hands of researchers um the more dangerous and not less dangerous that
00:27:32.320
you make it because historically and this is true um most biological attacks have not been carried
00:27:39.280
out by terrorists they've been carried out by people who are researchers with access to grind
00:27:44.560
who reached who released them on purpose and in fact uh as i'm sure your listeners will remember
00:27:50.080
um he said that in 2001 that the final result of the anthrax investigation was not completed until 2008
00:27:58.480
totally vindicated that because the person who released all the anthrax was an authorized government
00:28:04.400
researcher who had you know legal access to the anthrax that's how he got a hold of it so he's he's been
00:28:10.800
right about this all along and every step of the way and uh you know i i just think it's remarkably
00:28:17.280
prescient um uh how how accurate he's been and and i i want your listeners if they can to put
00:28:24.640
themselves in his shoes because i think it's hard for me to even imagine this here he is he's been
00:28:30.480
saying this for 20 years and among other things he said is you know even if nobody releases this on
00:28:36.720
purpose one day you could have an accident warning about this for so long you know even if it didn't
00:28:43.040
even say didn't it didn't even say that uh even if it doesn't happen on purpose um the we if we are
00:28:50.880
doing this we're going to have so many labs all around the world that it just increases the chance
00:28:56.640
that something will leak from one of them right that's absolutely correct that's absolutely correct
00:29:02.080
there was a new york times did a profile on him 20 years ago and that was the exact point that he made
00:29:07.760
and here comes 2020 he's been he's been saying this fauci's been poo-pooing him this entire time
00:29:14.320
saying this definitely not going to happen and lo and behold here the thing he's been warning about for
00:29:18.880
20 years happens and he must have thought to himself finally it's terrible that this has happened but
00:29:24.800
at least i'm about to be vindicated and amazingly uh through the efforts of fauci you know fauci
00:29:32.320
convinces the world that he's somehow the good guy in all this i might have lost my mind if i had been
00:29:37.280
trying to warn about this for 20 years and the guy who's responsible somehow becomes the hero of the
00:29:43.120
whole storage and he's a registered democrat um i mean he's testified now in front of congress and he
00:29:50.000
a registered democrat he said i voted for by night a biden sign in my lawn um and so you can't really
00:29:56.720
make this into a partisan kind of thing so where is he where is he at now what are people starting
00:30:04.640
to listen to him at all or is fauci still going to win on this gain of function stuff no he he thinks
00:30:12.880
and i agree that that there is an emerging bipartisan consensus that that something needs to be done
00:30:19.520
and his testimony i would encourage anybody um who hasn't yet because it was not it didn't get as
00:30:25.440
much tv coverage as the fauci hearing in in in front of the house a couple weeks ago but his testimony
00:30:32.640
in front of the senate on tuesday him and there were three other witnesses i thought was a rare example
00:30:39.600
like most of these are just kind of dog and pony shows everybody's showboating for the cameras i really
00:30:45.360
felt that the democrats on the committee including uh gary peters of michigan maggie hassan of new
00:30:51.440
hampshire they were all asking i thought really good intelligent questions that signaled i think that
00:30:58.640
people are starting to wake up that we got to get a handle on this i mean this is literally threat to
00:31:05.360
the entire existence of humanity that this continues i mean we it's tough to say this about a pandemic that
00:31:12.720
killed 20 million and counting but it could have been so much worse given given what they've been uh
00:31:19.040
working with this entire time and something does need to be done and i think it is going to be done
00:31:24.720
probably sooner rather than later did you talk to him at all about this bird flu thing
00:31:32.240
yes it's it's it's remark i mean it's difficult difficult to say for sure you know kill 60 percent
00:31:40.720
of humanized mice you know that humanized mice are intended to you know uh predict with some degree
00:31:48.160
of certainty how many people would actually die if they got the same thing so we can't say for certain
00:31:52.880
but you think about a virus that could spread as efficiently as covet did that kills 60 percent
00:32:00.160
of people instead of about one percent of people imagine how devastating that could be and they just
00:32:05.920
they just did this research with no uh risk benefit analysis nobody beforehand said hey wait should we
00:32:13.680
even do this i mean even the new york times you know back then just absolutely flipped out about it i mean
00:32:20.000
they did a an editorial that was not written by a single person but the entire editorial board
00:32:25.120
signed on says this research should never have happened and the virus they created should have
00:32:29.920
been destroyed and that just wasn't happening just didn't happen so does he think it's going to
00:32:37.200
happen with bird flu does he think that this is real you know it's it obviously is is a concern i i don't know
00:32:48.240
you know where the path of it is going to go uh but it certainly is a concern among livestock
00:32:55.680
currently in the united states and just the prayer at this moment is that it doesn't jump uh into the
00:33:01.120
human population and become transmissible in the way that they intentionally made it so in 2011.
00:33:06.800
we are dealing with a world of mad scientists from the tech world with ai to uh fauci and and all of
00:33:18.400
the things that we're doing uh there with with nuclear weapons we're we are living in a time where
00:33:28.560
the leadership of science has gone insane insane and we're going to pay a price
00:33:36.800
uh yeah it's um you know reading through this stuff um and the problem is that for so long we
00:33:46.320
have we have taken their word for it that this research that they're doing and i was guilty of
00:33:51.440
this as well they assured us you know this is being done at the most secure facilities it's all
00:33:57.680
completely safe please don't worry everything is on lockdown and you read in here about stuff where
00:34:04.480
they were found to be transporting highly dangerous infectious materials around the halls of cdc and
00:34:11.680
ziploc bags uh leaving them unlocked in refrigerators that had anybody in the building including janitorial
00:34:18.560
staff had access to uh smallpox vials laying around in unlocked storage areas i mean it's absolutely insane
00:34:26.080
uh they they researchers accidentally sent deadly h5n1 bird flu to researchers and mislabeled it as
00:34:35.280
non-deadly uh h9n2 and and the researchers only knew about it when they opened the vials gave it to
00:34:42.720
chickens and all the chickens died right away they were like wait a minute this wasn't supposed to
00:34:46.800
happen just send this stuff through the mail it's absolutely it's it's insane the the level of of
00:34:53.440
negligence that we have seen from the scientific community and and when you put all that together
00:34:58.640
it's very clear they should not be continued to allow to handle this i mean it can't continue this
00:35:03.520
way there's a story now on uh the blaze.com lab wars inside uh one democrats 20 year old crusade to
00:35:13.280
save the world from out uh anthony fauci part one uh and it is in front of the paywall so everybody can
00:35:21.600
get it i just want you to know blaze.com is asking people for three dollars a month if you read the
00:35:28.320
blaze uh three dollars a month that's that's it and it will unlock all of the stories that we have now
00:35:35.840
these are not the aggregate stories the stories that everybody has that you know are easily rewritten or
00:35:41.040
everything else by the way we do not use ai we never will use ai uh so those stories are rewritten or
00:35:49.360
you know put together by actual human beings um but then we have upped our commitment to
00:35:55.840
investigations uh to um uh real journalism actual journalism the rest of the media will go to the
00:36:04.960
government and they'll get the money and they'll just become one in in lockstep with the government
00:36:10.560
even more than they are right now they can't afford to do journalism because they don't have the audience
00:36:17.760
like we have that that are reliable and know that we're doing our best to tell the truth
00:36:24.880
and you're not getting this anywhere else so if you like these stories or you read the blaze
00:36:30.720
um you can join blaze tv and add this on uh or you can just go to uh theblaze.com and subscribe it's
00:36:38.960
three dollars a month and you'll get stories like this the stories on the blaze the blaze and i i said this to
00:36:45.680
you uh earlier and i just said this to somebody else um you know one of the uh one of the executives
00:36:52.320
at the blaze the blaze has never ever been anywhere close to as good as it is right now so thank you for
00:36:58.800
that leon and thank you glenn and and and thanks to matthew entirely for the work that they've done
00:37:04.800
on that as well and i just want to encourage your readers as you note this is part one part two is
00:37:09.600
probably going to drop early next week part three is the really scary part because what's incredible
00:37:15.600
to me is that after all this has happened and i understand that people disagree about the you know
00:37:19.920
lab leak theory is we don't know that it's definitely true we don't know that it's not true but i think
00:37:24.560
everybody at this point would admit probably it's at least 50 true that this happened and the the
00:37:30.400
takeaway of this from the scientific community is not we need to stop doing this research it's we need to
00:37:35.840
do even more and more dangerous research it's really terrifying um so unless something happens
00:37:43.200
we could be looking at a very serious situation i think this is the most important story i've ever
00:37:48.080
covered by far um uh in all my years of doing this well leon thank you so much for your work i
00:37:54.160
appreciate it available now at blaze uh theblaze.com online i i will tell you that um and it's free you
00:38:01.520
you don't have to pay for it um i will tell you i was shocked to hear what he just said from somebody
00:38:09.120
else in the know in that profession in that world saying exactly the same thing no we got to go further
00:38:16.720
we've got to keep going and go further because these diseases are coming at us this is the bill gates
00:38:23.280
mentality and it is so unbelievably irresponsible and dangerous all right back in just a minute
00:38:30.640
let me tell you about our sponsor it's pre-born there are people out there fighting to keep a
00:38:35.040
woman's right to end the life of a baby pre-born is fighting this as it is not a right to take
00:38:42.880
anyone's life pre-born is a ministry of compassion and when a woman has an unwanted pregnancy she usually
00:38:49.680
wants to make the right choice but the pressures of life are real she doesn't have time she's too young
00:38:54.880
uh what whatever uh i don't have anybody in the family to support me i don't have the money i can't
00:38:59.920
raise the child well that some of those are absolutely valid and that's why there's abortion
00:39:07.360
i'm sorry abortion adoption over abortion pre-born offers god's love and life to protect hurting women
00:39:15.760
and precious babies that's all they're trying to do is to let women you have another choice you have
00:39:21.440
another choice and this is a baby and it starts with an ultrasound and when the mom hears the little
00:39:26.720
baby's heartbeat and sees the baby on the screen and realizes this is a child they're most likely to
00:39:35.120
not do it but then they have the other side i don't have anybody supporting that's why uh pre-born
00:39:42.160

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:44:11.400
Biden's phony numbers mask true economic pain from S.T. Karnick.
00:44:17.120
And it is it's a great article. I want to share some of the points in it.
00:44:23.360
We're going to talk about the real state of the economy and what is happening.
00:44:28.060
And did Saudi Arabia cancel a deal that we've had since the 1970s to only sell oil as a petrodollar?
00:44:41.540
You could only buy oil from Saudi Arabia if you used U.S. dollars.
00:44:46.380
That has kept us as the world reserve currency.
00:44:50.620
It has also kept our treasuries being purchased all the time.
00:45:02.020
At the end of a long day, there is nothing better than laying down and recharging your batteries just for a few hours.
00:45:11.720
I mean, the robot overlords, they're going to be tough and they're going to demand a lot of us.

00:46:31.380
Before we get to Carol, I want to give you some highlights from this Blaze Media and the Blaze.com story.
00:46:44.020
The official government numbers in the U.S. economy have been contradictory and confusing for quite a while now.
00:46:49.560
What is clear upon closer examination is that the federal government's overspending and overregulation are doing serious damage to the economy,
00:46:58.320
and we have yet to see the worst results of those policies.
00:47:02.180
The unemployment increase seems to contradict recent signs that the economy has been weakening.
00:47:07.420
In addition to the conflicting rise in unemployment, other signs of deterioration include stagnant retail sales,
00:47:15.420
a slowing of consumer spending, weak industrial production, manufacturing orders, increasing consumer debt,
00:47:22.520
depressed by new housing starts, falling annual earnings of full-time employees, and rising commodity prices.
00:47:29.560
As the Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell admitted, he believes the White House has been cooking the books.
00:47:37.860
This is the Fed chair, stating last week, you have payroll jobs still coming in strong,
00:47:43.280
even though there's an argument they may be a bit overstated.
00:47:47.920
The only job growth in the U.S. is for illegal aliens.
00:47:55.420
The only job growth in the U.S. are for those illegal aliens who will work for below minimum wage,
00:48:03.040
which also explains why inflation hasn't spiked in the past year, as millions of illegal aliens were hired.
00:48:11.720
Legally resident American workers saw no job increase in the past year,
00:48:17.500
and unlawful residents willing to accept wages Americans can't,
00:48:22.320
are dragging everything down in the wage category.
00:48:27.620
With employment conditions for American workers stagnant at best,
00:48:30.920
the job market is another indicator that the economic growth is slowing,
00:48:36.640
and the Federal Reserve should lower interest rates to reduce its suppression of economic activity.
00:48:42.420
However, they decided not to because it will spike inflation again.
00:48:48.580
The markets have already priced three expected interest rate reductions for the year.
00:48:57.460
Even so, the stock market stayed steady after the Fed's interest rate announcement,
00:49:02.300
with the Dow falling slightly and the S&P 500 and NASDAQ rising to new record highs.
00:49:07.820
Economist Robert Jenetsky calculates that the S&P 500 is currently overvalued by 34%.
00:49:19.220
If investors decide the market is near peak and start selling,
00:49:23.620
taking their profits before prices fall, there is more trouble.
00:49:27.260
This overspending continues from the federal government as well.
00:49:32.360
In the first eight months of the current fiscal year,
00:49:34.740
the federal government has already accumulated more than $1.02 trillion in additional debt,
00:49:41.980
with a staggering deficit of $348 billion last month alone.
00:49:47.460
Investors reportedly believe the U.S. economy is about to enjoy a significant expansion because of AI.
00:49:54.700
That's boosting the stock markets, the shares in tech companies, chip makers, and even utilities.
00:50:00.900
The government's stimulus injection may be waning and the Fed's interest rate hikes starting to bite,
00:50:07.440
as indicated by the slowing housing and manufacturing production.
00:50:11.300
Higher interest rates hinder business from investing in production
00:50:14.780
and consumers from spending on goods that support those businesses.
00:50:18.360
Additionally, the Biden administration has implemented a regulatory program
00:50:23.160
that will directly cost the economy $3.95 trillion in 2025
00:50:31.360
and indirectly result in a staggering $75.05 trillion in opportunity costs for 2025 alone.
00:50:44.780
So, that might take a bite, no matter what AI is going to do.
00:50:54.000
Carol, are we beginning to see all of the signs of the wheels coming off of this thing?
00:51:01.360
I think we've been seeing the signs of the wheels coming off of this thing for quite some time,
00:51:10.540
Now, certainly, a lot of the numbers that are put forth are meant to window dress and say,
00:51:17.200
oh, no, look, the wheels are still turning, and they're doing just fine, and they're going to last for a while.
00:51:23.840
And when you peel back the onion and you look at things like the deficits to GDP,
00:51:28.980
which are about two times the historic average,
00:51:32.840
at a time when they're telling us there's an expansion, we know there's something wrong.
00:51:37.420
Because normally, when you have an expanding economy,
00:51:40.440
that means you're taking in more revenue at the government level,
00:51:44.320
and that means that you're running less of a deficit because you have more money input.
00:51:49.460
What's happening now is the Biden administration has flipped that on its head,
00:51:53.160
and they're using deficits to window dress the appearance that we have growth.
00:51:58.760
And we're seeing that start to crack because even that window dress growth is starting to come down.
00:52:04.760
We saw the first quarter GDP come in almost a percentage point lower than expectations on the first reading.
00:52:14.820
So now, as is at the second reading, we're at 1.3% for the first quarter,
00:52:20.280
and we're expecting a third reading, and we know things keep getting revised and revised.
00:52:24.800
So all of the, you know, appearances that they're putting forth to make it seem like everything looks great,
00:52:32.160
we've seen those cracks, and they're just becoming larger and larger.
00:52:36.800
So do you think that there's any way possible that anything, excuse the pun here, trumps the economy?
00:52:49.520
I mean, they always say in elections, you know, it's the economy, stupid.
00:52:54.080
And no matter how you window dress this, everyone knows I don't have as much money,
00:53:00.720
or my money doesn't go as far as it used to, and I'm having a hard time keeping up.
00:53:12.700
There was a mom-mouse poll that came out yesterday that showed far and away that the economy was the biggest issue,
00:53:26.660
And obviously, when you have the Republican side, and I would think to some extent the independents as well,
00:53:33.520
there's more of a connection with the fiscal reality that's going on, and it becomes, you know,
00:53:39.300
we cannot afford literally four more years of that.
00:53:42.940
There's a disconnect from the Democrats who don't believe in math and reality anyway.
00:53:49.300
And so even though they may be hurting personally, they're going to make excuses and say that it's for, you know,
00:53:57.080
any sort of litany of other reasons, and it doesn't have anything to do with these specific policies that we know have driven these outcomes,
00:54:06.160
you know, whether it's things like the American Rescue Plan and the direct stimulus,
00:54:09.760
that's literally called stimulus, that overstimulated the economy and caused inflation,
00:54:15.640
they're going to tell you, oh, no, look, inflation has come down,
00:54:19.560
even though they're still going to the same grocery stores, the same gas stations, having to pay the same rent,
00:54:26.040
and they're believing in buying into the gaslighting.
00:54:29.360
So that's my concern is when you have, you know, so many people who are decoupled from reality
00:54:35.460
and being fed this propaganda and this gaslighting, and they're willing to eat it, you know,
00:54:40.060
for basically their cults, that that is not going to show up in the polls the way that it should
00:54:47.840
if we were operating, you know, with some sort of normal baseline.
00:54:52.820
Carol, I'm going to take a quick break early here, because I don't want to interrupt you on this petrodollar thing,
00:54:58.060
because I have seen stories that say this is true, this is stories that say it wasn't true.
00:55:04.460
I don't think there ever was a, there wasn't a concrete deal.
00:55:08.720
It was more of a handshake with Saudi Arabia with the petrodollar, wasn't it?
00:55:17.180
You know, I wrote about this in You'll Own Nothing.
00:55:20.380
And there was a deal put in place, but never once did I come across anything that said we have a specific expiration.
00:55:26.840
But we know deals that, you know, are made can be shifted and changed at any point in time.
00:55:31.960
And I think that's the point we want to talk about.
00:55:36.080
Because the petrodollar, if the world goes off the petrodollar, that is the beginning of the end of the dollar.
00:55:50.060
And so far, central banks are not replacing it with any currency at all.
00:56:01.420
You know, not everything about the good old days was always great.
00:56:04.660
For example, if I told the men in my grandfather's generation that had severe pain, you know, that I had severe pain in my hands.
00:56:12.060
They would have been like, yeah, probably from sucking your thumb too much, you whiny little baby.
00:56:21.560
I can't imagine the things that people in the past had.
00:56:25.560
I don't ever want to, you know, wouldn't it be nice if we could go back and live?
00:56:31.840
George Washington had holes drilled in his jaw and in his mouth to put teeth in there without anesthesia.
00:56:48.580
Now, there are some natural things that you can do without pharmaceuticals to relieve pain, and that would be relief factor.
00:56:55.820
It's really good to reduce your inflammation, even if you're not in pain.
00:57:03.080
Also, most of the disease and problems that we have in our body come from inflammation.
00:57:08.480
So, if pain is affecting you, or you just want to feel your absolute best, try Relief Factor.
00:57:18.860
70% of them go on to order more month after month because they feel better.
00:57:30.560
Okay, so, Carol, explain why the petrodollar is so important.
00:57:45.880
All right, so there's a story that was going around last week that the Saudis had ended this agreement that had been put in place in the 70s.
00:57:55.800
So, what happened was that when the U.S. went off the gold standard, they were very concerned over what was going to happen.
00:58:01.960
So, they created this secret delegation that went to Saudi Arabia as part of a diplomatic tour.
00:58:09.680
And there was a lot of chaos going on at that time.
00:58:11.540
So, not only did we go off the gold standard, there was an oil embargo put in place by the Arab oil exporters.
00:58:21.120
So, the big objective was basically, the U.S. didn't want crude oil, you know, energy, which is obviously really what fuels growth around the world, to become an economic weapon.
00:58:35.160
And they knew, okay, well, now we're off, you know, off the gold standard, we've got the fiat currency, wouldn't it be great to have somebody, you know, finance their deficits.
00:58:44.340
So, what they did is they went to the Saudis and they said, okay, look, you come, you take all, you know, we're going to, you're going to agree to basically price oil in dollars.
00:58:55.620
Around the world, oil is going to be priced in dollars.
00:58:58.200
And you're going to have all of these excess, all this excess money.
00:59:01.460
We want you to plow that back into U.S. Treasuries.
00:59:04.720
Everything that, you know, you get in that you don't spend, you want to plow that back into Treasuries.
00:59:10.940
Because obviously that helped the U.S. finance their deficits at a very cheap rate.
00:59:18.620
But, you know, what we want in return is, you know, basically some economic and military support.
00:59:28.600
The interesting part is there was a secret piece of it.
00:59:31.940
And that was that the Saudis did not want everyone to know that they had this huge treasury stockpile.
00:59:44.460
Because they didn't want everyone to know that this was sort of the underpinnings of the deal
00:59:56.180
So, this was actually covered by a Bloomberg report.
00:59:58.900
So, for 41 years, what the U.S. Treasury did when they broke out what central banks held the U.S. Treasuries,
01:00:08.020
and you can go and see, oh, China holds this, Japan holds this,
01:00:10.920
they lumped Saudi Arabia in with 14 other nations.
01:00:15.200
So, basically, you can see, oh, we had cut this special deal,
01:00:18.620
and it looks like now that there's all this, you know, wonderful demand for treasuries around the world,
01:00:23.720
and, you know, it was kind of unclear that there was this alliance going on.
01:00:29.820
It creates a massive demand for the treasuries because not only are the Saudis in there as huge buyers,
01:00:36.140
but when you have, you know, on a sort of a de facto basis, the U.S.,
01:00:43.020
then every other central bank is also going to want to make sure that they have a stockpile
01:00:47.180
of a dollar-equivalent security that if they need dollars, they can cash in.
01:00:51.760
And, of course, as opposed to holding actual dollars, when you hold a treasury,
01:00:59.600
So, basically, this has created, you know, huge demand for treasuries.
01:01:03.320
It means that the interest, you know, was artificially suppressed by that demand
01:01:08.020
and that, you know, the U.S. government was able to finance their deficits.
01:01:12.660
It also meant that trade around the world was done, you know, in U.S. dollars.
01:01:18.520
So, not only are these central banks holding them in the reserves,
01:01:21.580
but there's all this trade that's happening in U.S. dollars.
01:01:25.380
So, this actually worked out, you know, for quite some time.
01:01:29.280
The Fed holding, you know, basically the world's reserve currency and managing it,
01:01:37.320
And when you saw the price of gas go up, that they would, you know,
01:01:43.740
And when it was too low, they would tighten it so that it would stay in some sort of a range.
01:01:48.720
And sometimes that was at odds with what was going on domestically,
01:01:52.360
but as the holder of the world's reserve currency, that was their job.
01:02:02.420
This is, right now, where we're about to see the change.
01:02:08.820
Again, when we got off the gold standard, we promised the world we'll never put ourselves,
01:02:15.460
you know, absolutely first and go off and do crazy spending and, you know,
01:02:24.760
And that's why it was at odds sometimes the Fed's policies were at odds with the United States policy
01:02:33.480
or wants and needs because they had to balance it for the world.
01:02:41.520
Yeah, so for the economic wonks out there, that's called the trif and dilemma.
01:02:45.660
You do sometimes have to make these trade-offs between what happens domestically
01:02:50.540
What happened, if we go back, come back to today,
01:02:53.160
is that the Fed has managed to hold the dollar not stable either for the world or domestically.
01:03:03.480
But going back to 2005, they decided when the price of oil shot up due to China's increase in demand,
01:03:12.000
Hurricane Katrina, a whole bunch of things, that they just weren't going to play this game anymore.
01:03:18.560
Then we had the Great Recession financial crisis and so on and so forth.
01:03:23.400
And, you know, the U.S. government continuing to run these huge deficits
01:03:28.220
and just creating a really challenging situation economically.
01:03:34.580
So the big issue, if you are these countries around the world that now have everything priced in dollars,
01:03:40.740
all of your major commodities, because it's not just oil at this point.
01:03:49.060
When you have these huge swings in the dollar, that means that threatens you as a nation
01:03:56.520
because now you may not be able to afford energy or you may not be able to afford the food for your country.
01:04:11.140
And at the end of the day, they're starting to move away from it,
01:04:14.360
which threatens our ability to have cheap financing and our standard of living.
01:04:25.560
And they're just all doing what would normally be done.
01:04:37.960
And it's the money is going to gold, not other currencies at this point.
01:05:00.340
While we're talking about this, you know, I just said that the central banks are turning to gold.
01:05:19.760
Uh, and the ones that are losing, my grandfather used to say, if we just knew what the rich people knew, well, we do know what the rich people know.
01:05:27.520
The richest, the countries, um, they're moving into gold because they know and see what is happening.

It's a brand new podcast that comes out once a week, uh, and it is the backstory of history.
01:06:51.560
Uh, how, how nothing really is happening without being connected to something else.
01:06:58.440
Uh, episode three of the new history podcast series called the Beck story is out this weekend.
01:07:12.260
Um, wherever you get your, wherever you get your podcast.
01:07:15.880
I want to give you a little bit of, uh, taste of episode three because it's on Woodrow Wilson.
01:07:26.920
The three men scattered along the mile-long pier and lit small fires.
01:07:32.920
Then they fled much faster than they had arrived.
01:07:37.720
It didn't take long for the guards to notice the fires.
01:07:41.500
Some of them immediately sent for the Jersey City Fire Department.
01:07:59.940
Dozens of train cars, warehouses, and the entire pier exploded almost in unison.
01:08:05.860
The massive blast was felt as far away as Philadelphia and Baltimore.
01:08:11.480
Scientists later assessed the explosion to be the equivalent of 5.5 on the Richter scale.
01:08:19.060
Almost all of the windows within a 25-mile radius were shattered, including Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.
01:08:26.340
Every building in Jersey City within a mile radius of the blast was destroyed.
01:08:33.600
The dynamite filled over 80 train cars, blew a crater in the island so deep it was below sea level,
01:08:44.540
In the end, at least five people were killed, including a 10-week-old baby in Jersey City who was knocked out of its crib by the explosion.
01:08:56.240
There were perhaps hundreds of additional victims because the barges at Black Tom Island were a haven for vagrants and immigrants.
01:09:05.280
Suddenly, at 2.40 a.m., a second blast rocked the island.
01:09:10.080
The debris shower from the combined explosions lasted two hours.
01:09:16.300
Firefighters ducked behind the railing of their boats and blindly aimed their hoses at the island to avoid the tornado of shrapnel.
01:09:25.120
Artillery shells and other munitions continued exploding for days.
01:09:30.620
Total damages were estimated at $20 million, the equivalent of over half a billion dollars today.
01:09:37.800
The explosion on Black Tom Island was the most destructive terrorist attack in the U.S. until September 11, 2001.
01:09:49.960
Shrapnel from the second major explosion was embedded into the right side of the Statue of Liberty, which faced Black Tom Island.
01:09:57.960
The force of the blast actually pushed Lady Liberty's torch arm against her crown.
01:10:04.840
The resulting damage to the internal framework of the statue's arm closed it off to visitors.
01:10:11.060
Prior to the Black Tom Island terrorist attack, people used to be able to climb all the way up to the torch.
01:10:16.740
But that part of the Statue of Liberty has been closed to the public ever since that night.
01:10:25.380
Throughout the wild explosions on Black Tom Island that night, the light inside the torch never went out.
01:10:33.060
But it is symbolically appropriate that Americans' access to Liberty's torch was cut off at a time when the Oval Office was occupied by President Woodrow Wilson.
01:10:52.760
It is the point of this eight-part series this time on the Backstory is how we have just been conned for a hundred years into listening to experts.
01:11:07.640
And how experts have used different things to move us one way or another.
01:11:17.560
This one, because of these things, we went into World War I.
01:11:25.920
Not because of Black Tom, but because the president and the experts thought that we should go into war.
01:11:37.100
Because of that, essentially all types of protests were made punishable by law.
01:11:46.760
They launched the most severe restriction on the First Amendment freedom ever.
01:11:51.860
Sending and receiving mail was subject to approval of the post office.
01:11:57.520
American spies, American spies, blanketed the nation.
01:12:03.720
They carried out vigilante justice on their neighbors with no legal repercussions.
01:12:08.220
Sounds like the old Soviet Union or Communist China today.
01:12:11.440
But from 1917 to 1919, this was the reality in America.
01:12:23.820
Mainly the deception that experts in government knew best on how to keep Americans safe.
01:12:30.380
Don't miss episode one, two, and now three of the Beck story.
01:12:36.920
Episode three is this Saturday, wherever you get your podcasts.
01:12:41.660
And Glenn, you know, I don't take any pleasure in complimenting your work or abilities.
01:12:50.920
And maybe this is something about my vacations.
01:12:52.880
But I listened to, it was episode two of this, about Madison Grant, largely.
01:13:07.960
And you know me, I've read far too much about that era.
01:13:14.920
And I don't know if you had anything to do with it other than voicing it.
01:13:22.160
It's a great, you know, there's a lot of these that exist on the left.
01:13:26.800
A lot of these really well-told histories, the way the left wants you to understand the world.
01:13:33.060
And the fact that there's some out there on our side.
01:13:36.040
And, but just using facts and spelling things out the way that they actually happened.
01:13:41.640
We just, I just finished voicing episode five, which is on the Supreme Court and the experts and how they have completely just, you won't believe what has happened in the Supreme Court since 1920.
01:14:01.360
And you will understand the leak of the overturning of Roe versus Wade.
01:14:08.800
You'll understand, you'll be like, I got it, I got it, seen this one before.
01:14:13.220
I learned stuff in that podcast that I never knew, never even thought that it could be like that.
01:14:23.920
Getting all kinds of reviews from Apple podcasters.
01:14:33.840
Glenn, you hit a lot of buttons with the first episode for me.
01:14:48.660
From Spotify users, I really like this new podcast a lot.
01:14:56.920
This is very eye-opening as it tied everything together as it relates to the issues today.
01:15:01.620
This episode, episode two, is so important, and it should be made into a documentary.
01:15:28.640
Wonderful new bits of this history stuff, because I'm a buff myself, but so well done and so clear.
01:15:38.180
You can find it this Saturday, The Beck Story, or wherever you get your podcasts.
01:15:47.360
We hope to make several seasons, all on different topics, but on history.
01:15:52.240
Again, this one is, we're trying to explain, the Fed and the Treasury and Washington and the central banks, they're the ones that got us into this trouble.
01:16:07.600
They're the ones that have been, you know, taking and tweaking the economy.
01:16:13.860
They're the ones that told us we had to violate our capitalist principles to save the free market.
01:16:20.780
They're the ones that designed TARP and everything else, and it's not working out, and yet we're still going back to those same experts.
01:16:53.800
So, if you're like most Americans, you're probably spending a significant amount of time just thinking about how to make more money, or at least save more money, and hold it back than you usually do.
01:17:10.720
It's good to be aware of your financial house and how it's holding up.
01:17:14.480
And if it's holding up okay right now, please make sure that you're shoring things up for harder times, because harder times are coming.
01:17:24.540
Okay, so American financing can help you get your financial house in order.
01:17:31.260
If you own a house and you are worried, I'm going to lose my house because I am so far in debt, and I can't make these credit card bills at 25%, 30% interest, then please call American financing.
01:17:45.000
Your mortgage can be made to work for you, and it can help you and your family get out of high interest debt fast.
01:17:51.940
If you are paying 35% right now for your credit cards, 30%, and you got lots of them, and you are way in debt, you can reduce that and bring it down to about 6%, 7%, or 8% with refinancing your mortgage.
01:18:13.920
When everything turns back around, you can refinance it again at a lower rate, but boy, oh boy, it may be the only thing that saves you and your house.
01:18:21.220
So call American Financing, American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

01:18:55.160
I want to talk to you about something extraordinarily serious for people like me
01:19:23.940
and people who have a conservative voice in America.
01:19:28.820
Billionaire George Soros, according to the New York Post,
01:19:33.220
is trying to recruit the Democrat-controlled Federal Communications Commission
01:19:37.460
to help fast-track his takeover of the nation's second biggest radio network.
01:19:43.600
Soros pumped $400 million into Odyssey in February.
01:19:48.920
It's a network that serves 165 million monthly listeners
01:19:54.260
and includes a handful of conservative shows like Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck and Mark Levin.
01:20:00.840
But the influence is likely to be muted if the billionaire takes over and imposes his agenda,
01:20:06.540
as has happened with his other media acquisitions.
01:20:10.180
The idea that George Soros is buying hundreds of local radio stations
01:20:17.280
and will keep broadcasting Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity
01:20:20.960
and other conservative talk radio hosts on Odyssey
01:20:26.160
That's a source that had knowledge of the deal.
01:20:33.300
because the money being funneled into buying American airwaves
01:20:45.420
foreign company ownership of U.S. radio stations
01:21:07.960
will usually petition to get its foreign funding sources
01:21:22.720
will be given special warrants in the meantime.
01:21:49.980

01:21:54.400
including the right-wing powerhouse Radio Mambi.
01:22:01.160
