On today's show, Glenn Beck is joined by his good friend and former Fox colleague, Steve Kamb, as they discuss a variety of topics including: - Steve's Bank of Ill Repute deal with Glenn Beck - What's next after the Arab Spring and the fall of the Middle East and the rise of the Islamic State? - What s next for the United States? - Is Hillary Clinton the next President of the USA? - Will the left and the right ever get on the same page on immigration? - Should we be worried about the border crisis in Europe? - Is it time to build a border fence? - What is next for America?
00:05:06.560In this year of shows, we're going to be concentrating on eight categories, and I want to spend some time today working on these eight categories and explaining them to you.
00:05:16.480And then we're going to take phone calls for the TV show today.
00:05:19.580So if you have any questions or ideas or thoughts, please share them at 888-727-BECK for TV at five o'clock.
00:06:25.440The economies could nosedive, and then polarization gets worse.
00:06:30.460But the financial system is going to be in danger again.
00:06:33.660Some countries will collapse, like Germany collapsed in the 1930s.
00:06:37.960Oil and the petrodollar will be weakened, putting countries like Saudi Arabia and Russia into economic chaos.
00:06:44.400And this, as this happens, you add in to it tech, causing downward pressure on jobs and wages and communications and education.
00:06:55.420And this will add more pressure on countries like the United States and China.
00:07:00.400And at some point, because of all of these things, people will no longer believe in any system.
00:07:07.400The government, the tech sector, press, all of it will be discredited.
00:07:12.760And that's when things get really dicey.
00:07:16.780And that's when things like the government and tech begin to merge with each other.
00:07:26.180Now, I've laid out on the last three radio shows the sectors that we're going to be watching.
00:07:33.500And because they're all dominoes, and I want to go over some of them with you, because I want to ask you if you are if you have experience or you would consider yourself well informed on a few topics.
00:07:51.940And you could help us look for stories and connections.
00:08:46.800And again, you can do that by sending stories to research at Glenn Beck dot com.
00:08:52.480I want to give you a story that happened yesterday that explains exactly why all of these are need to be watched and how any of these eight different categories can tie in and be the catalyst for collapse and true chaos, global chaos and global war.
00:09:21.000I'm going to give you a story that just was announced or just happened yesterday during this show.
00:09:27.740If you've been following the French yellow vest protests, well, let me just assume that maybe maybe you haven't.
00:09:34.240The yellow vest protests started just recently because the yellow vests were upset about a fuel tax.
00:09:45.520That fuel tax was being imposed on the citizens of France, and it was to pay for all the global warming nonsense.
00:09:55.180Well, the people were for the global warming.
00:09:57.580You know, we got to stop global warming.
00:09:58.820But then once that tax actually hit them, they were like, well, no, wait a minute.
00:10:47.940The ones who are leading it are more like Antifa, more like Occupy Wall Street.
00:10:57.240What's happened is after he blinked, the left and the right got together again, not coordinated.
00:11:05.220They're not on each other's side, but they will both want to tear the system down.
00:11:10.200I mean, because you say they're the leaderships like Occupy Wall Street.
00:11:13.420But one of the big things they thought about initially was repealing the horrible gas tax that was bankrupting a bunch of French citizens because they were paying triple basically their the old gas prices.
00:11:49.820This is a national movement in France that now has 70 percent approval rating.
00:11:56.800Well, yesterday they announced that they want to collapse the bank and they want to collapse the euro.
00:12:03.900And so they are asking this weekend to go in, have French citizens go in and take at least 20 percent of their cash out of their bank, transfer it out of the euro and into Bitcoin.
00:12:20.840If there was a movement here in America that had a 70 percent approval rating and they could convince 70 percent of 50 percent of this population to take 20 percent of their money out of banks, that would be a real, real problem for America.
00:12:43.000This could be one of the things that collapses, that collapses the euro, that collapses the economy over in Europe.
00:15:28.520Stu, do you think the average person that maybe is not listening to the Glenn Beck program has a clue as how close the world is on being totally reset?
00:16:00.500I mean, look, if you look at where we are, the economy is in a pretty good place.
00:16:04.580I think there is a people who follow politics, even if they don't understand the underlying situation, are so beat up with the polarization that I think some of them, particularly like on the left, who don't like Trump, are going to be maybe understand that or at least feel that things are out of sorts.
00:16:22.380But that's not what you're talking about.
00:16:24.880That's not that's that's not what this is.
00:16:26.940There's part of it that's an ingredient to this whole mess.
00:16:31.400But really, it's the sum of the parts that are concerning and the sum of the parts are some of the some of the things that we've always looked looked for.
00:16:40.340It's the sum of the parts that led me to, oh, it's caliphate.
00:16:44.540This this riot in Egypt is going to lead to a caliphate.
00:16:48.960Now, some people are like, well, it wasn't a caliphate in Egypt.
00:16:52.680No, but it was a caliphate, which you were sounding out the word while you were condemning me.
00:17:07.200But anyway, so I want to I want to give you the categories that I think will help you navigate, because with self-education and information, you're going to be able to find shelter and growth and freedom.
00:17:26.760The world is the world is going to be facing a we're approaching a crossroads.
00:17:32.200We're either going to be as they will be shortly in Asia in 1984.
00:17:39.440Then that's the Orwell book or in the West.
00:17:48.120We're going to be living basically in a cage and it's either going to be a soft plush cage, self-constructed, self-constructed, or it's going to be a 1984 nasty cage.
00:18:06.220The other is more freedom than the world has ever experienced.
00:18:10.140More freedom for you than you can possibly even imagine today, because the world is changing and and the and the freedom factor that we are looking at is off the charts.
00:18:24.660But there's not a lot of middle ground on this one.
00:18:27.800So you want to be aware of the world of tomorrow, because you are so busy navigating the world of today and trying to figure it out.
00:18:39.540And I have always said that this audience is going to be the audience that turns the corner.
00:18:44.160If that's you, if you feel like, you know what, I want to be a part of the good future, then you need to be boning up this year on on what's happening.
00:18:56.220So you can be the person that says, wait, wait, wait, stop.
00:18:59.460Don't go there, because we are approaching that time quickly.
00:19:51.660And it's important to look for places of civility and farming towns are really critical to us because they they know as farmers that I have to help my neighbor.
00:20:09.060Because if my neighbor is in trouble, their crops failed or their their tractor or their well went down.
00:20:16.980I've got to be over there with my tractor or my tools to help them because my well is going to fail.
00:20:24.160My my my tractor is going to be in disrepair.
00:20:28.120My crops might fail and I want them to help me.
00:20:32.420So it's this it's a it's a society that is self-reliant and you rely on each other.
00:20:39.540There are some strange odors from time to time.
00:21:08.640Also, those who are unheard or feel they are unheard, we need to double our efforts as people to make sure that those who are feeling alone and feeling unheard are not feeling unheard by us.
00:21:27.900And I need to make sure that everybody in this audience feels heard, that that you have a way to have your voice and your opinion put out there.
00:21:42.300That's going to be very, very important for stability.
00:21:46.840Then the other thing is, is politics of meaning.
00:21:50.000And like, for instance, yesterday, Donald Trump walked out of the meeting with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.
00:21:56.160Now, I could give you an hour on all of the ins and outs of that.
00:22:38.360ZipRecruiter is the smart way to hire.
00:22:41.660Now, ZipRecruiter, when I first started with ZipRecruiter, they were not, I use quotation marks, smart because they weren't using the algorithms that they're using now.
00:22:53.200I mean, this is this this company has grown into this amazing.
00:22:56.940Their CEO is incredible, way over the horizon.
00:23:15.760So when you put in an ad and say, hey, look, I'm looking for this kind of person to fulfill this job, they're going to find the people that are around you, that are qualified, that maybe never even read that ad, wasn't even thinking about you, may don't even know you.
00:23:30.740You're going to get a qualified candidate within an hour.
00:23:44.920This is a Glenn Beck program, and we're talking about what is coming and how we want to focus this show.
00:24:00.440And I want to bring you in quickly on what we're looking for, because I look at you as a partner on being able to chart a course for either the greatest freedom, health and wealth the world has ever seen in this next page and chapter of human history that I think we are now on the bridge.
00:24:44.760So I want to give you eight categories that we are going to really focus on and try to put the world into context and show you what leads to a collapse and totalitarianism and what leads to freedom.
00:24:57.580So the first category we talked about was civility and chaos.
00:25:01.380It's important to look for, you know, the goodness index and charity and faith and religion where it's working.
00:25:09.060But it's also really important to look at civil unrest and war and instability and those who are preaching chaos.
00:25:17.880For instance, Iran and Russia, now Cuba and Venezuela, politics of meaning, things that really, truly matter.
00:25:32.020But what the president is doing with the trade war in China matters, but not for reasons that most people even understand.
00:25:41.000That arrest in Canada of the Chinese CEO, that was the thing that opened it up for me.
00:25:51.500And I went, oh, my gosh, this is what's really going on.
00:25:54.100And you need to understand that also money and how money is going to change, how jobs and employment is going to change our debt, our personal debt, our credit card debt, European debt, banking, banking scandals.
00:26:12.520The way governments are going to start trapping people's money, I bet you don't even know that your money has really been trapped.
00:26:19.620If the bank collapses here in America, you're not getting your money out.
00:53:52.340So the author of The Skyscraper Curse, Dr. Mark Thornton, is on with this on the Glenn Beck program.
00:54:12.620And you say that the skyscraper curse is real because of low interest rates that the Fed has kind of cooked the books on.
00:54:23.620We are now coming out of a place with the lowest interest rates for the longest period of time in the history of our country and maybe the history of the world.
00:54:55.860That's the background for all corporations who, you know, what their financial structure is, is dependent upon an environment of low interest rates.
00:55:05.640And so as we leave this environment of ultra low interest rates, you can expect a lot of those bad investments, which we can't necessarily pinpoint right now.
00:55:18.320But as we go forward, a lot of those investments that people have been making in real estate, in technology, in social media, a lot of that is going to be revealed.
00:55:31.740And I think we're starting to see this in the business news where profit expectations haven't been met, revenue expectations haven't been met, cost of production have risen unexpectedly for a lot of firms.
00:55:47.020And so when your revenues are coming down, your accounts receivable are backing up, and your cost of production are rising, the profits disappear and the losses start to reveal themselves.
00:56:00.000And then, of course, you have companies that are going to have to react to that with restructuring, with bankruptcy, with foreclosures.
00:56:10.920And I think this is a worldwide phenomenon.
00:57:16.140You know, the silver lining here is that this is going to be a very bad economic crisis, in my opinion.
00:57:25.720I think the empirical information is following that opinion.
00:57:31.080And the silver lining is that we may have an opportunity to get the world back on a gold standard or some other more sound monetary system.
00:57:41.100They will tell you, Mark, I have talked to people in banking and very high up in economics.
00:57:49.700And they all, I mean, they're all, in my opinion, they all believe the same crap that they all learned in the same schools.
00:57:57.260But they'll tell you that there's no way the world can afford the lifestyle that we have with the gold standard.
00:58:52.300We can get back on a monetary system that's sound and stable.
00:58:58.720And I think we have a great opportunity here in this economic crisis that's coming forth to return the world to more human-directed purpose rather than political purpose.
00:59:13.660When you say Category 6, what category would you put the Great Depression in?
00:59:46.340They wanted to, you know, create all sorts of government jobs, which is the wrong thing to do.
00:59:52.620If you allow the free market to resolve an economic crisis, you can make it much shorter and much safer for people.
01:00:01.500And I think that we can reduce that Category 6 rating on this coming storm greatly if we were to be able to pursue a more traditional policy.
01:00:12.700I mean, we had Wilson that scared the hell out of people, followed by Harding and Coolidge, and their recession, which was far steeper than 1929, and what led to the Great Depression.
01:00:35.600You're in a situation now where the world thinks that socialism is the great answer.
01:00:43.100I mean, you're not really looking at a country that will say, you know what, we should all tighten our belts, and we're in this together, and let's all suffer together.
01:00:50.840We're going to do the opposite, don't you think?
01:00:54.800I'm afraid we might, but I think that there is a way out.
01:05:33.600And Glenn, I tell you, if the American people are listening, I mean, what you said in your opening is your introduction, which I appreciated, is exactly why I have broke my silence after all this time.
01:05:45.140And as time went by, at first I wanted to give people deference that, hey, they were just misinformed or because they were viewing facts through their own individual political ideological lens that they were unintentionally misinforming people.
01:06:00.020But as time went by, you know, I don't say this with happiness, but I feel that there's actually some intent behind the distortion of the facts and what's out there.
01:06:15.620If anyone says that the wall is ineffective, that they're simply misleading the American people.
01:06:25.860There are facts, historical data that shows that the wall, as part of a multilayered approach of infrastructure, technology and personnel, when those things coalesce together and they're provided effectively along the southwest border, Glenn, it works.
01:06:46.000And go to the facts, you know, there was an article that was just published by the Yuma County Sheriff's in Arizona that said when the wall, when the wall, along with technology and personnel, came to his territory, he saw over a 90% reduction in immigration, and he saw overall crime in his territory reduced drastically.
01:07:09.780In the United States Border Patrol, when I go there, again, I was there.
01:07:13.540I don't understand why pundits are not listening to the experts.
01:07:20.340Look, you know, so, you know, the president of the Border Patrol Council, Brandon Jodd, and the current White House, you know, they didn't want me there and they removed me.
01:07:30.980And I'm here today, as you said, to say that they're right.
01:07:34.000And the reason why they're right is because they've got decades and decades, and they've dedicated their entire life along the southwest border protecting our country.
01:07:42.640And they're out there saying that the wall works.
01:07:45.140He talked about in the Gallus, San Diego.
01:07:47.660We could go on and on forever where it is fact, Glenn.
01:08:37.440That is a small problem of the overall problem.
01:08:41.640And I can tell you that the Customs and Border Protection, specifically CBP, they're working every day to improve their ground sensor technology and tunnel technology, working with the Israel, et cetera, to improve that technology.
01:08:57.580So because the bad guys changed their tactics, techniques, and procedures, therefore we should do away with other infrastructure that helps reduce the other techniques they use?
01:09:09.700I mean, you see, it doesn't make any sense.
01:09:12.560Can you help me with, because I think this is a humanitarian crisis, because we are so, we are sending mixed signals all the time.
01:09:22.120People are sending their children over.
01:09:48.620Everything that you just said, you're 100% right.
01:09:51.460And that's based on my experience, in fact, and the experience of a whole heck of a lot of other people who have been doing this a lot longer than I have.
01:09:58.180Because, remember, as the FBI, I was in charge of the El Paso Division.
01:10:02.240You know, from my office, I could see Juarez.
01:10:04.740So I lived it for two years and worked it for two years there right on the border.
01:10:08.900And I'm telling you, when I became chief of the Border Patrol, almost immediately, and this is back in 2016, almost immediately, you know what word I was using?
01:10:40.620So, look, again, it's – and no one is – and this is where it's disingenuous, too, when people want to try as a soundbite, say, well, the wall won't solve everything.
01:10:52.760There's not a single Border Patrol agent in the history of the Border Patrol or any leader within the agency that has ever said the wall works.
01:10:59.580But it is a significant part of the multilayered approach.
01:11:02.700And here's where it will help everything that you just talked about.
01:11:06.560By building that wall, the infrastructure, technology, and personnel, what it's going to do is take away the avenue from the cartels and from the coyotes.
01:11:15.540They will no longer have the avenues to what I really think is the systematic abuse and torture of the people that they're bringing through this perilous craft.
01:11:38.980These are young girls that are being smuggled as part of the human smuggling effort, and they're being forced into sex trade and et cetera.
01:11:52.200And to think that we would not support everything that the expert says we need to mitigate that and have a positive impact on that, I don't understand.
01:12:07.440It takes away that avenue from the cartels and the coyotes.
01:12:10.300And now the only way that somebody can get in is through the points of entry.
01:12:15.700And that gives us a heck of a lot better shot.
01:12:19.300Talking to Mark Morgan, former Border Patrol chief, was with the FBI for a long time, U.S. Marine Corps.
01:12:24.460So with the wall, this is something that a lot of people will bring up, Mark, is, you know, as you pointed out, tunnels could theoretically go under it.
01:12:37.480But the theory is, number one, you're going to get rid of the low-hanging fruit, right, people who don't want to do that.
01:12:42.880Two, you're going to delay anyone who's trying to attempt that so that Border Patrol can get there.
01:12:49.240And isn't it as well a sign, like, when you're in a country and you see pictures of the wall on television, there's a lot of people that will be dissuaded just from knowing that the wall exists.
01:14:10.340Mark, I urge you, urge you to keep politics out of this.
01:14:20.020You are a powerful spokesperson because you worked in the last six months of the Obama administration and then, you know, Trump ousted you at the beginning of his presidency.
01:14:42.320But I know that you worked for Obama, ousted by Trump, and you have the facts.
01:14:48.820Please keep politics out of this because you will – you can open people's eyes and minds because you don't – if you had an ax to grind, you might be grinding it the opposite way.
01:15:02.200So thank you for that, and thank you for being willing to take the slings and the arrows for standing up.
01:15:14.360I sincerely appreciate you giving me the forum because that's exactly right.
01:15:19.100And, again, that's why I broke my silence because I don't have a – there's nothing political.
01:15:24.180I just want to provide the American people exactly what you started off with, just the facts.
01:15:30.460Let's talk truth, honesty, and the facts.
01:15:33.700And I have to believe that if enough people get out there and they tell the facts, the American people will get it and understand it, and we can do the right thing for our country.
01:15:42.620Are you up on the facts enough to tell the truth about the illegal immigrant child that died right around Christmas that – especially Ocasio-Cortez has been saying that, you know, the border guard is so bad and so wicked that, you know, in their custody this child died?
01:16:02.960Are you familiar enough with that to be able to tell the story?
01:16:05.440I am enough because I think there's also some historical context that's important, too.
01:16:12.180And, again, it's hard to talk about this issue because it's so emotional and so politically charged without talking about comments like that.
01:16:18.980But here's what I would say, Clint, is that on either side of the aisle, it doesn't matter.
01:16:22.900But when somebody that we elected to go to represent us says such divisive things to accuse men and women that get up every morning and pin on the badge and risk their lives – and I said last night on Tucker, you know, the United States Border Patrol agents, 127 of them have given their lives on the front lines of this country protecting them.
01:17:12.520And I told them, hey, don't let the troops know that I'm there.
01:17:14.580So we walked up, and we see this large group of unaccompanied minors.
01:17:19.100And there was this little boy that looked to be about nine, and he's holding the hand of what I believed to be his sister, which was about six or seven.
01:17:26.560But what I saw – and they were terrified, right?
01:17:28.920There's this nine little boy and this girl terrified holding each other's hands.
01:17:32.620But what I saw was the United States Border Patrol agent knelt down in the dirt, and he's talking to them in Spanish, and he's talking to them with – I mean, I'm getting choked up right now.
01:17:44.200Because he was talking to them with the utmost dignity, respect, and compassion.
01:18:15.320Our sponsor this half hour is realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:18:18.860It's amazing, too, when you go through purchasing a house, what a big difference it is to find the best real estate agent.
01:18:24.600You know, I've gone through, like, out-of-state sales before, and you have no idea what's going on with your house if you don't have the right person.
01:18:32.260You have to have someone who's on top of it all the time, giving you updates, someone who basically obsesses about the house as much as you do.
01:18:46.440You want somebody who is dedicated to your house full-time, somebody with a marketing plan, somebody that you can trust, somebody that knows the area, that is either you're buying in or you're selling in, and it's going to give you the best price either way.
01:19:02.560I want you to go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:20:15.800And then the reason, I think, is the worst part of all, because it's, you know, carbon emissions have been falling in the United States for quite a while, despite the fact that we haven't signed on any international treaties about it.
01:20:26.660Because we've been switching from coal plants to natural gas.
01:20:30.060And not for environmental reasons, just because it's worked out better for us.
01:20:50.960If we could just go back to, you know, an agrarian kind of society, we would be able to pull our, you know, pull our plows with our horses, not cows, our horses.
01:21:18.280I've been with them for a while, and they have great service, and you get great phones, and you get all the things you'd expect from a top-notch cell phone company, except for the donations to all the causes you don't agree with.
01:21:30.160Because left-wing organizations get tons of money from big cell phone companies, and it's your money.
01:21:35.720So why give it to them when you can give it to Patreon Mobile for the same service, and they're going to donate to conservative causes that you actually believe in.
01:21:41.520What's crazy, and you get to select them, what's crazy is you spend your whole day working and preaching against these things, and while you're on the phone, you're paying Planned Parenthood.
01:23:00.180Hey, we cleared a lot of the commercials out of the first half, and we only stopped for two minutes, one minute at a time in this first half hour.
01:23:07.780So we're with you, and we just give you a live commercial here.
01:23:55.440And for 70% of the people who try the quick, you know, the quick start, which is a three-week trial, 70% of those people go on to order more, just like I did, because it works.
01:24:47.120How was the change from, like, Oklahoma to New York?
01:24:50.520You know, okay, so I lived in New York for six years, and I think it's kind of like if you've been stuck in a car with someone for, like, three or four weeks, you have no patience whatsoever.
01:24:59.540That's how I was when I left New York.
01:25:01.140Coming back, though, I had rebuilt all of that deep breathing, and I was able to handle it.
01:25:08.700You just don't want to be trapped, live there.
01:25:11.120I think you can live there if you are very young or very hot or very rich, and I am smoking hot, but I don't have enough money to make it work long term.
01:31:41.840So if, um, I mean, because this is a serious thing with our economy, China's economy, if Europe would collapse, you know, I have, I'm doing this seriously with some of the war gamers that we, we, uh, talk to who are the allies and who are the access powers?
01:32:00.240I mean, if Europe would go into chaos, is there anyone within the sound of my voice that bets against Germany?
01:32:09.280Well, didn't Germany kept an independent bank too?
01:32:11.740Like they, like for years now, I mean, like it's since the invention of the Euro, we're like, we're just going to keep our bank just in case, in case something happens.
01:32:19.020So like they can like tomorrow, they're good to go.
01:32:23.800I mean, like it was like, I used to live in the UK and, uh, and there's, there's still a little bit of, of anti-German resentment.
01:32:29.160And the, some of the older folks are like, I thought, I thought we defeated these people and they've taken over, uh, cause their economy is so good.
01:32:35.120Uh, Germany, well, their economy is good unless France and Italy and Spain and everybody else goes down.
01:32:41.620Their economy is what 50 or 80% export to the Euro zone.
01:33:27.520Do we have an idea of how serious these things are when it comes to these protests?
01:33:30.840Cause I think like you get that sense that like, this happened many times where like anonymous and they would be like in four hours, we're going to destroy Mark Zuckerberg's toilet.
01:33:40.240And you're like, and then it never happens.
01:33:58.900So if let's just say Occupy wall street or Antifa had 70% of the country behind them.
01:34:06.140And then you had in that 70%, you had another 70, 80% that was like, yeah, I don't have anything else better to do, but just do whatever they say this weekend.
01:34:19.640If 70% of that 70% would go in and take 20% of their money out of the bank, that, that would be very harmful.
01:34:29.180They, they would, the, the French government.
01:34:46.560But like when you're poll people, yeah, when you're talking about collapsing the Euro and collapsing the financial system, you know, I think there's just more people that are like, um, wait a minute.
01:35:20.520And it's also not, uh, uh, it's not just France.
01:35:24.820Remember the yellow jacket thing has spread all over Europe, including England.
01:35:30.120So if you, if you had a good portion of people, I don't think it's going to happen, but if you had a good portion of people do it this weekend, it could make a real run on the banks.
01:35:38.320And that's the last thing that you want more with Andrew Heaton here in just a second.
01:35:41.920And then the rest of the broadcast first for one minute, let me just pause here and tell you about American finance.
01:35:49.060American finance, uh, is, um, is a place that I would go.
01:35:53.840If you're looking for a loan, if you're looking to refinance, uh, right now is the time to refinance.
01:35:59.840If you have not refinanced yet and you, uh, have a, uh, a floating, what do you call that?
01:36:06.220A interest rate, adjustable rate, get out of that adjustable rate because it is going to go up.
01:36:13.760They've been talking about raising the rates for a while.
01:36:16.200And that's been part of the, you know, part of the reason, yeah, they've raised them already.
01:36:19.240And they're going to raise them more, although they're getting nervous because of the economic problems.
01:36:23.880Both of these are good reasons to make sure you lock in a good rate.
01:36:26.500Now you really want to be on stable ground and the people that will do it are the people who do not make a commission on what they're selling.
01:36:36.440When you go to a bank, you speak to a loan officer and the loan officer is going to decide whether or not they're going to give you this loan.
01:36:43.580No, you're talking to a salesperson who is selling you a loan.
01:47:05.600It's more than I have by a significant amount.
01:47:07.900It's more than how much, for instance, how much let's say, let's compare him to somebody who has, you know, $50,000 worth of wealth.
01:47:16.320So, you know, you, you might make $50,000, but, you know, you've got, uh, you know, between what you have invested in your house and your car, if it was paid off and a 401k, then she got around 50 grand.
01:49:41.340It may seem like, oh, if I could just make $100,000, you're going to be in exactly the same situation if you don't think about it going in.
01:50:02.100You know, the car gets a little nicer, but still, you're still spending $10,000.
01:50:04.880But if a million dollars, if a million dollars, uh, to Jeff Bezos is like $6 to a millionaire, doesn't it make it a little easier to go, yeah, she's been with me for 25 years.
01:50:45.180Like, here's someone who spent time with you for 25 years when you weren't a millionaire, when you weren't rich, when you were just this kind of, you know, nerd.
01:51:10.820So, they wind up going from the richest, if this happens, the richest person in the world to tied for the fifth richest people in the world.
01:54:10.140So now the question is, does this, if you were a, a big shareholder, I mean, somebody who really was invested in him, a guy going from a 25 years of stability.
01:54:22.800Now, maybe you know that he's really been a dog the whole time, but 25 years of stability now into a, I'm free.
01:54:32.820Uh, what do you think that does to Amazon?
01:54:38.740Would you think people are worried at all about, uh, Jeff Bezos?
01:54:45.240He, he, he, he, he could say, we, we want to do SpaceX.
