What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:15.380
Hello America and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:20.660
There is a lot to talk about and we've got some great guests for you on oil and gasoline.
00:02:29.480
Carol Roth on your money and Megan Kelly on Putin in 30 minutes.
00:02:42.120
She said, hey Glenn, I have a 12-year-old Labrador and after one week of giving her rough greens,
00:02:51.940
I had to look twice when she came bounding up the stairs.
00:03:00.640
Veronica, thanks for writing in and letting me know.
00:03:02.940
So, your dog will see, or you will see, improvement in your dog.
00:03:09.040
The dog, at least mine does, Veronica does, Stu's does.
00:03:15.160
They start to behave like they are puppies again.
00:03:23.480
I guess they love it because it tastes amazing.
00:03:26.120
I mean, it doesn't look good to me, but all of the vitamins and minerals and other things
00:03:30.260
that are going to contribute for a healthy life, including probiotics.
00:03:35.100
They are so confident that your dog is going to just, you'll see changes in your dog that
00:03:41.700
All you have to do is pay for shipping just to make sure that your dog will eat it.
00:03:46.120
If your dog likes it as much as Uno does, you are in for a wild experience with your dog.

00:04:05.780
All right, let me give you just a real quick update.
00:04:08.880
Moscow, the stocks, bonds, derivatives are going to remain closed today.
00:04:16.300
Trading on the Moscow Exchange stocks and derivative sections.
00:04:23.460
The Russian Central Bank yesterday extended the suspension of trading amid a full-blown financial
00:04:34.280
The ruble tumbled to a record low in extreme volatility yesterday.
00:04:54.120
You know, this is worse, I guess, than the 1998 crash of the ruble.
00:04:58.960
Imagine having, you know, $10,000 in the bank account, and all of a sudden you only have
00:05:05.740
the purchasing power of $7,000 or $6,000 or $5,000 or $4,000.
00:05:20.260
By Monday, you lost 30% and all the banks closed.
00:05:27.220
This is why I have recommended, please, please, have seven days of cash on hand.
00:05:34.140
Whatever it's going to take, whatever you would spend in seven days, try to have that amount
00:05:41.380
If you're fortunate enough to be able to do it, have 30 days of cash on hand.
00:05:47.120
Now, some other things that are going on, they are starting to spray paint, the Russians are
00:05:52.280
starting to spray paint symbols on buildings, on the roof.
00:05:57.820
And they are now asking for Ukrainians to go up, if you're in an apartment building or
00:06:02.640
condominium or whatever, to go up and check the roof of the building to see if yours has
00:06:14.160
Mercenaries now from Africa with orders to kill Zelensky are now in Kyiv.
00:06:21.840
400 Russian operatives have been deployed to kill the president of Ukraine.
00:06:29.440
The assassins are part of, apparently, the Wagner Group, a militia flown into Ukraine from
00:06:39.440
They were offered a handsome financial bonus if they succeeded.
00:06:46.900
They are very effective because they're hard to pin down, said General Sir Richard Barron.
00:06:54.380
He said they can appear from the shadows, do very violent things, and disappear.
00:06:59.440
Again, without being obvious who was responsible, they are also not directly linked to the
00:07:05.360
Therefore, the Kremlin has plausible deniability.
00:07:12.940
Russians are now suspected of using cluster bombs, which we use on the battlefield.
00:07:19.720
If you saw the last episode of James Bond, that was a cluster bomb that they used at the
00:07:28.840
ending, I don't want to spoil, but they used a cluster bomb at the ending, and we use them.
00:07:44.200
We never use them because you can't direct them.
00:07:47.380
They just they break up into several little bombs that just fly in all directions.
00:07:56.260
They apparently are using that now in civilian areas.
00:08:06.160
I had never heard of a vacuum bomb or a thermobaric bomb before.
00:08:10.720
I had to look it up, and I realized we call them fuel air bombs.
00:08:15.600
Fuel air bombs are absolutely terrifying bombs.
00:08:27.440
Anyway, against the Geneva Convention, they vaporize everything, everything in the area.
00:08:35.960
They're used like if you had to if you had a camp, you know, an Ebola camp, you know, for kids over, you know, the holidays, you know, and hey, it's summer.
00:08:47.300
If you have like Ebola breakout and everybody is dead, you would want to use a fuel air bomb because it kills everything.
00:08:58.800
It explodes in the air, shoots fuel out in a large area horizontally, and then it ignites.
00:09:10.400
And what it does is it not only incinerates everything below it, it also sucks all of the oxygen out of the area.
00:09:19.700
If you're not vaporized, but you're close enough to it, you spend a couple of minutes on the ground, your eardrums probably have been blown out, you've probably gotten a severe concussion, and then you spend the next couple of minutes gasping for air until you die and suffocate.
00:09:43.600
Let me play cut, I think it's cut, 11, is it not, of the bomb.
00:09:49.100
Here's what they think may be a fuel air bomb or a thermobaric rocket.
00:10:03.160
Okay, this is somebody probably at least a couple of miles away, knocked off his feet.
00:10:13.600
He can't even keep the camera straight, and now he shows this huge cloud.
00:10:28.300
If that is true, that is against the Geneva Convention.
00:10:32.380
Now, one thing that you have to understand, everybody is trying to get us into a war.
00:10:39.920
I think Russia is even trying to snag us into a war.
00:10:50.020
The Ukrainians are doing what I think we would do if we were in trouble.
00:10:56.180
We would show everything that they're doing, and we would say, that looks like a thermobaric bomb.
00:11:11.420
If you are trying to make a huge decision on what side you're on, I think we're all on the side of the Ukrainian people,
00:11:18.560
but what side you're on in the debate on how far this should go, what we should be doing,
00:11:28.700
For instance, there was a Ukrainian guy got up in front of the UN and read that letter yesterday.
00:11:39.600
And quite honestly, you know, the Russian soldier going,
00:11:42.600
and they're just indiscriminately telling us to kill women and children.
00:11:56.800
I mean, it's a gift to the Ukrainians if that were true.
00:12:04.180
Yeah, you have to go into this with some skepticism.
00:12:08.520
You know, like the idea that those guys on the island all died, remember, after the attack.
00:12:15.960
The guy, the plane that was taking out five and six Russian aircraft per day.
00:12:31.420
Have we heard one positive thing about Russia and their progress?
00:12:40.500
Now, there's no justification for this war in my mind, and I'm totally on the side of Ukraine.
00:12:46.960
However, you have to imagine good things are probably happening for Russia in their progress here.
00:12:53.080
We're only hearing about the Ukrainian heroes, which are there, and they exist, and that's real, but, you know.
00:12:58.760
Let's just make sure you understand we're only getting one side.
00:13:05.680
We've never done anything like this, except maybe World War II, but even then, I don't think it was this lockdown in the 30s.
00:13:23.140
Maybe when we were at war, but you heard both sides of the war, you know, leading up to it.
00:13:32.700
I don't think there are both sides as to whether the war should happen.
00:13:36.540
I'm saying you would hear things that Russia, I mean, sorry, that the Germans were rounding up all the Jews, and then you would hear, no, that wasn't happening.
00:13:51.340
I mean, I think you listen to the tone of the coverage from the mainstream media.
00:13:54.420
You would think Ukraine is about to just chase them out of the country.
00:14:01.160
Yeah, but the other side of that is, I mean, there was a 40-mile convoy, right?
00:14:09.080
Reports today are the second largest city is surrounded.
00:14:15.460
What they're bringing with them seems to be very ugly.
00:14:23.620
And I think the pushback from Ukraine, which has been more fierce than maybe was expected by Putin-
00:14:32.620
They're not going to be like, ah, darn it, they're fighting back, let's go home.
00:14:35.980
They're going to say, ah, they're fighting back.
00:14:40.560
And that's what you're seeing with the cluster bombs and the hyperbaric bombs.
00:14:44.440
And you also need to understand that if Putin gets worse, you're going to start seeing horrors on television.
00:14:53.320
You're going to start seeing a lot of dead people and dead children and everything else.
00:15:00.960
Let me take a quick one-minute break, and then I'm going to talk to you about how the world has changed overnight in dramatic ways.
00:15:10.820
And it's important for you to understand, and I'll give it to you here in 60 seconds.
00:15:25.200
You are paying far too much for your cell phone service.
00:15:36.460
The chances are is you are with one of the major phone companies, and you are also then helping support leftist causes, things like Planned Parenthood.
00:15:55.840
In fact, I bought a phone just so I could be a member of Patriot Mobile and support them.
00:16:07.820
Stu, remind me, you have to tell the Patriot Mobile story about you and local schools.
00:16:17.880
They're working behind the scenes to make sure that these school boards aren't going crazy.
00:16:50.380
Let me talk to you here about what has happened just over the last handful of days.
00:16:54.740
I mean, really, this happened beginning over the weekend.
00:16:58.580
Europe is no longer in their post-Cold War era and that kind of state of mind.
00:17:10.580
We're not really sure what's happening at this point.
00:17:15.020
The people who have always been, you know, saying Russia, Russia, Russia, most of Europe has not listened to them for a long time, especially those in Eastern Europe who have been campaigning for tougher measures against the Kremlin.
00:17:30.620
They have been ignored by almost everybody, Germany, Italy, France.
00:17:35.960
No other region other than Europe has overturned its foreign policy diehard orthodoxies like they have in a heartbeat in Europe.
00:17:49.100
The German chancellor has declared that he will vastly increase his country's defense spending and start shipping arms to Ukraine.
00:18:00.100
I really don't like it when Germany says, you know what?
00:18:14.720
Not anti, not an anti-nuke like missiles, anti-nuclear energy.
00:18:20.540
They have just declared an openness to keeping the nuclear plants operating in Germany if it helps reduce reliance on Russian energy.
00:18:36.520
Eight member nations of the European Union said they now wanted to start membership negotiations with Ukraine.
00:18:42.980
European Commission President Ursula von von der Leyen said she'd be open to it.
00:18:49.320
On Monday, Ukrainian President Zelensky formally sent an application to Brussels.
00:18:53.600
It is an end of an era, said former Estonian president,
00:18:58.540
who once was dismissed by Finnish leaders as having post-Soviet stress for his approach on Russia.
00:19:07.760
What you have grown up with in the last 30 years, he said, is over.
00:19:25.440
If you are planning to win an election, your freedom or anything, and you think we are still living in the post-Soviet world, we are not.
00:19:43.300
In the early 1900s, there were three big schools of thought, especially in Europe.
00:19:49.360
There was national socialism, fascism, international socialism, communism, and liberal progressivism, individual social rights with collectivist economic ideas.
00:20:02.180
In America, we had all of these, except we had another one, classical liberalism, which is the conservative voice at this point.
00:20:11.260
That was the dominant voice in much of the U.S.
00:20:14.700
Because the 20th century has been dominated by those ideas.
00:20:19.840
Nazis and Soviets went to war because they couldn't agree on what kind of socialism.
00:20:25.600
Was it state socialism or international socialism?
00:20:32.280
Today, the ideological battle in most of the world is not between those who support individual liberty
00:20:46.340
We feel this way in America, but you must wake up.
00:20:51.700
This is the debate in America because we still have tens of millions of people who believe in free markets and individual liberty,
00:21:02.740
The rest of the world is debating international fascism, which is the Great Reset, and national fascism, which is China and Russia.
00:21:14.500
Still progressives in Europe, but they aren't leading the charge anymore.
00:21:18.880
Putin and Dugan and President Xi, they are nationalists.
00:21:24.160
They see international fascism as a grave threat to their nationalistic plans for the future and for good reason.
00:21:31.000
Biden, Kerry, and much of the leaders in the EU, Soros, etc., etc., are globalists, internationalists,
00:21:39.360
who believe that any kind of nationalism will slow their progress.
00:21:45.360
I don't know the driving factor of what's going on in Ukraine,
00:21:49.460
but it is a key component in international politics today and on many other issues,
00:21:55.980
and I wouldn't rule out its connection to one of these movements.
00:22:13.400
Understand, this is the battle that you are actually fighting.
00:22:43.540
I'll have more on this in the third hour that is quite stunning,
00:22:47.900
the developments on this and how it's all playing out.
00:22:57.260
I want you to think about something for a minute.
00:22:59.500
If you're not as self-reliant as you can possibly be,
00:23:02.880
the chances are you're going to regret it in the near future,
00:23:07.900
I don't know if you've taken a look at the news lately, but it ain't pretty.
00:23:11.040
And even some sort of Armageddon disaster, even if that's not right around the corner,
00:23:19.420
It's still important that you're prepared for any kind of disaster that could happen.
00:23:26.220
So may I suggest that you get stocked up with emergency food from my Patriot Supply.
00:23:31.440
It is an easy way to prepare for anything and everything we might experience.
00:23:40.240
But I will tell you, odds are growing against that rapidly.
00:23:50.100
You'll save $150 on their special three-month emergency food kit.
00:23:54.720
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, snacks, 2,000 calories a day.
00:24:00.880
$150 savings on their three-month emergency food kit.
00:24:09.480
Do you think this is a good time to understand The Great Reset?
00:24:12.280
Might want to read The Great Reset by Glenn Beck.
00:24:28.460
You are seeing The Great Reset play out on a global scale with Russia.
00:24:36.020
And Senator Wicker from, where is he from, Alabama?
00:24:41.920
He just suggested that we enact a no-fly zone and our planes police the air.
00:24:52.660
He's suggesting a coalition do it, which we would be a part of.
00:25:03.260
Megyn Kelly is joining us, journalist, host of The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:25:08.620
You can hear it on XM Sirius or SiriusXM Triumph Channel 111, which is right after this program.
00:25:22.560
So you are one of the few people that have sat down with Putin a couple of times.
00:25:32.520
He has either a brain tumor or he is playing for something different because Putin is way
00:25:44.600
He knows what this is going to cost his country.
00:25:49.120
Well, I do think that he's underestimated the Ukrainians and Zelensky.
00:25:57.540
That's a fault in his step, which we are not used to seeing.
00:26:02.340
And I haven't, I interviewed him three times, but I haven't sat with him since 2018.
00:26:06.920
And the reports are that over COVID and the isolation, he may have gone a little bonkers.
00:26:15.180
I think it was the foreign minister of UK who kind of said exactly that.
00:26:20.540
I have no idea whether that's true, but he's obviously misstepped here.
00:26:24.300
He's underestimated the Ukrainians and he's underestimated the world response.
00:26:27.440
And what he's getting as a result is exactly what he least wanted, a stronger NATO, more
00:26:34.060
countries wanting to be a part of NATO, more countries wanting to be a part of the EU, including
00:26:39.600
Ukraine and an international coalition that's unified against him, not to mention what's
00:26:45.140
happening to his economy as a result of all this.
00:26:47.160
So you would agree that he is a bloodthirsty killer, wouldn't you?
00:26:53.540
Well, of course, I mean, his past demonstrates, I mean, I don't know about bloodthirsty, but
00:26:59.980
And, you know, the thing about Putin is, I'll say this, not in his defense, but just to contextualize
00:27:06.940
He lives in a very rough neighborhood and he grew up during a very different time.
00:27:11.700
And the way Russia's been run has essentially been you're a strong man or you die.
00:27:17.640
And there's a reason he's stayed in power so long, because he understands it's a kleptocracy.
00:27:23.620
And if he leaves power, he'll be killed or he'll go to jail.
00:27:27.860
And that the Russian people, for the most part, respect the strong man.
00:27:33.820
They don't want to necessarily see murders, but they want the strong man.
00:27:37.540
They've been raised in a different way than we have.
00:27:40.600
But Putin, above all, I mean, having spent a fair amount of hours with the guy, is manipulative
00:27:54.120
But he usually is five steps ahead of everyone else in the room, which is why it is so shocking
00:28:04.120
I mean, he certainly could have unleashed hell on the Ukrainians from day one and taken them
00:28:08.160
So I think he understood this should be incremental in some way, but he didn't plan for losing
00:28:16.180
He's losing the PR war in a way that's extraordinary because he normally has his bots.
00:28:22.180
He controls the Internet in a way we haven't come to fully appreciate.
00:28:26.160
So the fact that Zelensky is even able to get out these videos, these sort of lionhearted
00:28:29.920
videos that are making the world swoon, is remarkable.
00:28:35.800
So much of Ukraine has a Russian Internet company.
00:28:51.520
It's just something doesn't feel right to me, Megan, because I when when Trump says, you
00:28:57.920
know, he's a genius or whatever he's been saying.
00:29:05.800
And he this is just not feeling right coming from him.
00:29:16.480
People ask me that when I went over there to interview him.
00:29:18.900
I don't I don't put him in the field of someone like an Adolf Hitler who enjoyed the killing,
00:29:26.540
enjoyed torture, did it because he had no humanity.
00:29:39.460
It's not like he's he's concerned about any of these Ukrainians, but he's mission focused.
00:29:43.640
He I think he thinks net net in the grand scheme.
00:29:49.180
And so it like everything he's done till now, till the actual invasion has made some strategic
00:29:56.820
sense from a man who wants to rebuild the USSR, who thinks, you know, the collapse of the Soviet
00:30:01.920
Union was the biggest calamity of the 20th century.
00:30:03.940
It hasn't been a surprise that he's done many power grabs, what he did in Georgia, what he
00:30:09.700
And he's very angry about what the United States did when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state
00:30:17.320
I didn't support them, but I understood what he was doing.
00:30:19.780
The full invasion, which would turn the world against him in a way that was somewhat predictable,
00:30:29.400
It just there must be something going on that we're missing.
00:30:32.040
So he's being pushed closer and closer to China.
00:30:36.220
They already are, you know, just made a deal on coal from Russia to China.
00:30:49.760
I mean, the I mean, we're hearing crazy things like, hey, let's enforce a no fly zone that puts
00:31:02.320
I understand why people are having that reaction.
00:31:05.920
It's tugging at people's heartstrings, you know, across the globe.
00:31:09.720
And you get reports of civilian casualties and even children dying.
00:31:13.420
And us being the United States of America, the instinct has always been, right, we're the
00:31:20.820
And honestly, Glenn, if we hadn't done Iraq and done 20 years of Afghanistan, maybe we'd be
00:31:26.980
Maybe we would have had some resolve to go in there.
00:31:30.000
But the American people are not just war weary.
00:31:37.200
Remember when Trump came out and was like, I'm smarter than the general.
00:31:40.160
And people were like, oh, my God, like who would criticize the generals this way?
00:31:44.900
And I'm not, I don't know who's smarter, but my point is his attempt to undermine them
00:31:50.200
was right on point because they have proven time and time again, they're not very good
00:31:56.080
We haven't won a war in decades and we're certainly not prepared for extended conflicts.
00:32:02.920
The guys at the top, like Millie, do you trust him to handle this?
00:32:09.040
Well, I think the instinct here in our country is dead on, which is we would like to help
00:32:13.540
them whatever way we can, short of getting involved in another military conflict, which
00:32:21.540
Well, especially not just because of Millie and what happened in Afghanistan, but because
00:32:26.980
I mean, you know, the polls are showing, what is it, 59 percent of independents say that
00:32:33.480
they don't think Biden has the mental capacity.
00:32:38.440
I actually say that with profound sadness and and worry for him and our own, our country.
00:32:50.380
He's not the same man he was even 12 months ago.
00:32:53.720
And to process this kind of information 24-7, I'm not sure we have a president that's up to
00:33:04.480
Yeah, I don't think anyone knows who's really calling the shots right now.
00:33:12.480
I can see that Europe is galvanizing in a way that we haven't seen in 75 years and that
00:33:17.900
the United States is not the leader in any way.
00:33:22.840
But we're not out in front of this, even when it comes to the economic sanctions, though,
00:33:27.880
I'm sure we'll hear a different story from him tonight.
00:33:30.580
But I also think that the American people, I think it's the same number, you know, 9%
00:33:34.340
believe that it was Joe Biden's weakness that got us to this point.
00:33:38.720
It's not to blame Putin's behavior on Joe Biden or America.
00:33:43.140
It's to contextualize what made him think he could get away with this.
00:33:50.300
But, yes, our economic situation, our inflational situation, which is absolutely in part on Joe
00:33:54.420
Biden, our unnecessary infighting and hyper-focus on things that mean absolutely nothing but
00:34:00.300
are totally divisive, like CRT and, you know, men swimming against women in, you know, swim
00:34:06.640
meets, all of those things, which Putin 100% has amplified.
00:34:11.180
I mean, if there's one thing I learned in meeting with former FBI, CIA, and other intel
00:34:15.380
guys before I went over there the few times I did to interview him, it's that forget Russiagate.
00:34:22.660
Putin did interfere in the election in a way where he was manipulating divisions online.
00:34:28.580
They see something that's already dividing us, and they amplify it nonstop.
00:34:33.120
So that's Putin's dream to have us fighting over this nonsense that Biden's White House
00:34:39.160
continues to stoke, you know, putting Nicole Hannah-Jones in K-12 education and, you know,
00:34:46.240
all these things we see with parents that are making them show up at these school board meetings
00:34:50.100
and they wind up getting dragged out with their naked stomachs exposed with absolutely no respect
00:35:00.700
So all of that creates a divided United States that's already falling apart economically with
00:35:07.580
I mean, if Biden had gotten BBB through, can you imagine the situation we'd be in right
00:35:21.600
Megan, have you ever experienced a time in American history where you know you don't believe
00:35:38.820
However, I don't think I believe our press either.
00:35:49.840
And for the first time, I realized I have no place to go on this story to where I feel
00:35:59.160
like I'm getting the honest word because both I mean, we're silencing voices who have
00:36:11.780
And I don't think there's any ambiguity on on, you know, the Ukrainian people are the
00:36:20.220
But I don't trust any government at all in this.
00:36:29.380
And I think most of us experienced it at the beginning of covid as well.
00:36:34.040
I mean, I'll go back to a tweet I sent out last.
00:36:37.640
It was March, I think, of 2020 when covid was just unfolding and Trump gave a presser
00:36:42.080
at the White House, which was all over the place and he had to clean it up.
00:36:47.920
He was saying we were imposing a travel ban on the Europeans.
00:36:52.120
And I remember tweeting out after that presser saying, I don't know where to go for real
00:36:57.720
I don't trust him and and I don't trust the media because they smell blood in the water.
00:37:03.700
This could be the one thing that would ruin Trump's reelection.
00:37:06.300
And so they're pumping bad information to scare us and because they know it will hurt him,
00:37:14.180
And all these blue check journalists on Twitter, Glenn, I mean, guys I know from The New York
00:37:19.340
Times and from NBC and started to DM me privately and say, how could someone in your position
00:37:29.220
And then the next step, you don't trust the CDC.
00:37:37.380
That's and I remember saying then, no, I don't.
00:37:43.340
You know, we were misled by our leaders, by certainly our public health officials and
00:37:48.680
100 percent by our media who did use COVID to get rid of Trump and to this day continues
00:37:55.060
We're in the exact same boat when it comes to this, because the media has decided.
00:37:59.360
I mean, I have to say in Glenn Greenwald's defense, he's right that the media's natural
00:38:06.500
It's the one area in which they're not bleeding heart liberals.
00:38:16.760
They don't want any lifestyle of their own compromised or threatened in any way.
00:38:28.240
And you hear things like no fly zones and ask yourself whether you're being given the
00:38:34.980
I think the I think the narrative about Zelensky is believable.
00:38:44.220
Nobody believed this guy was going to be anything.
00:38:52.720
Megan Kelly, I know you have a show to do right after this program on Sirius XM.

00:40:38.280
I have to share some tweets later on in the program from George Soros on Ukraine.
00:40:52.740
You wouldn't think that he would be a guy that would, you know, would even know what the Twitters are.
00:41:02.800
His 14-year-old girlfriends, though, they know.
00:41:07.480
And he is very, very strong on what the West should be doing right now in Ukraine.
00:41:32.720
It is time to start focusing, if you haven't already, on what you can do to shore up your finances.
00:41:40.780
You should be saving money with your mortgage, with your credit cards.
00:41:46.400
Cut those things up, especially if they're high-interest credit cards.
00:41:49.560
If you can't seem to pay them off, well, if you have a mortgage, American Financing may be able to help you.
00:41:57.040
I want you to call American Financing now at 800-906-2440.
00:42:05.740
Pay less in interest to the banks and for those credit cards.
00:42:18.140
Radio program begins in just a second with Michael Schellenberger.
00:42:49.980
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:21.280
Usually on this day, the president stands up and says,
00:43:35.640
He's going to introduce a whole bunch of new green stuff.
00:43:38.220
Because that's really, I mean, that's really where all of our hearts are right now is with green energy and saving the planet.
00:43:47.220
We all believe that should be our first priority.
00:43:50.380
You know, especially since it's going to cost you about $20 more to fill your tank here shortly.
00:44:00.320
You know, I'm doing everything I can to save, you know, the price at the gas pump.
00:44:06.880
He just put new restrictions on building liquefied natural gas terminals in the United States.
00:44:12.760
That way we could liquefy it and sell it to Europe that needs it.
00:44:16.840
We canceled our oil and gas pipelines such as Keystone XL.
00:44:21.100
Gas drilling permits in Alaska, Texas, and other oil-rich states have been canceled.
00:44:29.100
We were producing roughly 1.2 million more barrels of oil every day than we are right now under Trump.
00:44:40.980
So, we are losing at $100 million, I'm sorry, at $100 a barrel, and we are doing 1.2 million fewer barrels of oil.
00:44:52.180
That means we are losing $100 million every day.
00:45:04.260
Don't let this war or tonight's speech fool you.
00:45:23.540
So, you know, your home movies are already past their prime.
00:45:31.060
That tape used in VHS and camcorder tapes is supposed to last between 10 and 20 years.
00:45:48.440
Well, your videotapes and VHS tapes are certainly feeling old.
00:45:52.840
Digitize all of your old media with Legacy Box.
00:45:56.240

00:46:16.140
They're running exclusive offers on film reels and photos as well.
00:46:34.200
Russia has leveraged an economy half the size of Germany's to end the post-Cold War era and defeat NATO.
00:46:41.220
It did so with aggression, natural gas, and nuclear.
00:46:44.720
America must produce massively more nuclear, natural gas, and oil, or the liberal democratic Western civilization is dead.
00:47:02.480
That tweet is from Michael Schellenberger, who is on the phone with us now.
00:47:09.420
So, you know, tonight, with the State of the Union, they're going to go on and on.
00:47:14.180
They can't pass the Build Back Better bill, so they're going to take all of the green energy stuff and rename it and try to pass it through.
00:47:22.880
Can you please explain to the audience what you think these things are going to do?
00:47:30.660
Well, it's going to be a terrible effect on the economy, potentially on the environment.
00:47:35.960
I mean, we're in the worst energy crisis in world history since 1973, and it's going to get worse, much worse.
00:47:44.820
And I don't think people are aware of just how serious the political situation is.
00:47:50.080
We could see the president restrict oil exports, which might be justified in the future because of rising oil prices.
00:48:00.040
But then that would put much of the world and much of Europe.
00:48:04.040
It would strengthen Putin's hand to basically sell oil to those countries that were quiet about his invasion of Ukraine.
00:48:12.680
We basically have engaged in wishful thinking about trying to rely on weather-dependent renewables, solar panels and wind turbines specifically.
00:48:23.460
When you need reliable sources of energy, and the two best that we have are nuclear energy and natural gas.
00:48:31.880
And both of those technologies have been so restricted by progressives that it left Europe dependent on Russia.
00:48:40.360
And that's why Russia felt so comfortable invading Ukraine.
00:48:43.420
One of your tweets, you said, imagine making our high-energy capitalist civilization work on energy sources that literally kept humans trapped in poverty for centuries.
00:49:00.280
Yeah, I don't think people realize, you know, we have a terrible understanding of history, particularly maybe more of us in America than in Europe.
00:49:09.600
But even in Europe, we've just forgotten that we couldn't have had the Industrial Revolution, which lifted life expectancy from 30 years to 70 years.
00:49:18.880
That could not have happened with renewables, with wood, with water wheels, with windmills.
00:49:25.580
The same problem exists, an inherently physical problem.
00:49:29.660
Renewable fuel, sunlight, wind, water, these are too energy dilute to provide the sufficient power that you need to power our machines,
00:49:39.020
which make this incredible prosperity that we enjoy and take for granted possible.
00:49:44.200
So we just have been in like a dream state, whereas Putin was in the real world, the real world of nuclear power, which generates significant quantities of heat.
00:49:55.040
He was in the real world of natural gas, and he built nuclear plants at home so he could export gas to Europe, make Europe dependent on him.
00:50:03.200
And as Europe left on the daydream around returning to some, you know, ecotopia, some period that never existed,
00:50:13.360
in truth, the period that the romance of renewables conjures was a period of poverty, misery, slavery, and serfdom.
00:50:25.940
We're going to be reminded why we need fossil fuels and nuclear.
00:50:29.480
Did you see that the leader of the Green Party in Germany yesterday, I mean, if I'm not mistaken,
00:50:35.440
that whole party started because of nuclear energy, they said that they will compromise on nuclear power plants
00:50:44.460
to keep them running if it means that they can get off of the teat of Russia.
00:50:55.020
I mean, basically, people who had previously been against nuclear are absolutely changing their minds.
00:51:05.000
I mean, it tells you how much nuclear has become the secular devil for Germans and progressives and Greens in particular
00:51:12.800
in Germany that they were willing to, you know, massively increase their defense spending,
00:51:18.840
which I think we should all be concerned about, actually, given the history of Germany.
00:51:22.640
I mean, they increased their defense spending before they would turn their nuclear plants on.
00:51:27.300
But I do think things are changing very rapidly.
00:51:34.520
Because, I mean, yesterday they asked Pete Buttigieg about, you know,
00:51:47.380
Drill more, open up more U.S. land to drilling.
00:51:52.840
What's the administration's response to that idea?
00:51:56.760
Well, look, the president has laid out and taken a number of steps,
00:52:01.700
including addressing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve,
00:52:04.700
including diplomatic efforts to increase global oil production
00:52:07.860
and other ideas that have been raised that are on the table because everything deserves to be considered.
00:52:12.980
But let's also be clear that we are in the middle of a long-term transformation
00:52:17.320
that is already fast underway, especially when it comes to vehicles.
00:52:22.500
Making electric vehicles more affordable for Americans,
00:52:25.500
something that the president has proposed and is hoping Congress...
00:52:28.520
Stop. I mean, this is the Great Reset nonsense.
00:52:32.820
I mean, how are we going to power those electric vehicles, you know,
00:52:39.020
What he said was really disturbing to me is, you know,
00:52:42.880
we can't forget we're in the midst of a grand turnaround
00:52:53.880
No fact or crisis will get them to stop and go the other direction.
00:53:04.200
this is the idea that we're going to switch to lithium
00:53:06.780
and suddenly we're going to replace all of our petroleum with lithium
00:53:09.840
and then what, become dependent on Bolivian mining?
00:53:19.680
In the real world, you need significant amounts of power.
00:53:23.200
The more of it that can come from your own country, the better.
00:53:26.720
The more you can export, the better for your country.
00:53:29.780
So if you care about America and you care about American interests,
00:53:32.680
what you want to do is rely more on American power, not less.
00:53:41.680
But the long-term trajectory of this is that we're going to move from oil
00:53:51.060
So the transportation secretary, who, by the way,
00:54:00.020
and yet energy is fundamental to transportation,
00:54:09.200
a new secular religion that imagines we're going to harmonize ourselves
00:54:12.640
with the natural world through renewables and electric cars.
00:54:27.680
and any kind of energy that would actually be reliable?
00:54:37.180
we're missing leadership at every level of our society in many ways,
00:54:41.620
and so we don't have the leadership that's explaining to the American people
00:54:49.020
what's in the best interest of our allies in Europe,
00:55:00.780
The good news is we may not need to use as much coal in the future,
00:55:03.920
and we certainly won't because we do have so much oil and gas.
00:55:25.440
enough gas to make them unable to stand up to him
00:55:31.800
So we've got to reorient towards American energy,
00:55:40.540
in the form of nuclear, natural gas, and petroleum,
00:55:44.420
then we have significant American power globally
00:55:51.900
with creepy facial recognition and social media software
00:55:59.360
Putin is going to start bombing apartment buildings.
00:56:04.620
We have this beautiful thing called civilization,
00:56:22.740
That's not what's going on in China and Russia.
00:56:32.120
as people that believe in Western civilization,
00:57:01.220
And it's absurd because we have so much petroleum.
00:57:29.160
and much more than that for coal and natural gas.
00:57:37.620
then they're less dependent on really bad actors
00:58:10.240
And they think that they manipulate the numbers
