Summary

Something is wrong with the way things are being reported in the media, online, and on social media about the Ukraine crisis, and I want to know what it is. This is a show where we need to think things through logically and figure out what is in the best interest of freedom across the globe, and here in America.

00:00:33.840 They've been around for over 50 years.
00:00:36.820 Trust me, I wish I would have had them when my air conditioning went down.
00:00:42.160 I had to pay for all of it, and it was quite a hit.
00:00:45.160 It will be the same with you unless you have AHS.

00:01:50.700 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:16.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:20.920 Maybe it is just me.
00:02:26.120 Probably is.
00:02:27.440 Maybe it's just me, but something feels very wrong with this whole Ukrainian war thing.
00:02:36.160 It feels wrong in the media.
00:02:39.120 It feels wrong online.
00:02:41.680 It feels wrong with Russia.
00:02:44.500 It's just something isn't right.
00:02:47.360 What is it we're missing?
00:02:49.280 This is not a program for you today if you just want to live in a black and white world.
00:02:53.900 If you just want to say, anybody who says we shouldn't go in and support Ukraine with troops and bombs and fly our planes in there just loves Vladimir Putin.
00:03:08.040 Probably a spy.
00:03:09.200 Probably working for Vladimir Putin.
00:03:11.140 Or the opposite.
00:03:13.660 This is not the show for you.
00:03:15.760 This is a show where we need to think things through logically and figure out what's going on and what is in the best interest of not only freedom across the globe, but here in America.
00:03:29.460 We begin there in 60 seconds.
00:03:31.720 Sandra wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.
00:03:38.520 She said, I used to have really serious back pain.
00:03:42.740 I couldn't do anything because of it, she writes.
00:03:45.720 Even a simple task made my back feel like it had flames going through it.
00:03:49.880 Now I can do everything and I have no pain.
00:03:52.840 Thank you.
00:03:53.600 I am so glad I started Relief Factor.
00:03:56.200 Relief Factor is not a drug.
00:03:57.820 It was started by doctors to help reduce your inflammation in your body and the major source of most pain and most illness really comes from inflammation.
00:04:08.900 It has four key ingredients that work together with your body as it fights inflation.
00:04:15.000 I take Relief Factor three times a day, have for the last couple of years, and I am, I got to tell you, I wouldn't be here today without Relief Factor.
00:04:23.600 Try their three-week quick start developed for you at $19.95.
00:04:26.740 It's a dollar a day like a trial pack.
00:04:29.160 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor.
00:04:31.760 70% of them go on to order more.
00:04:33.860 It's relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.
00:04:37.760 1-800, the number 4, RELIEF.
00:04:41.240 ReliefFactor.com.
00:04:43.020 Feel the difference.
00:04:45.440 All right, I want to go just first, let's go through the facts on all of the things that have happened.
00:04:50.080 And then I want to, over the next couple of hours, pull this apart and look at this one piece at a time because it doesn't feel right to me.
00:05:01.560 So let's just go over the facts first.
00:05:04.100 Let's start February 26th, which was Saturday.
00:05:07.320 Russian President Vladimir Putin has told both nations that if they join NATO, there will be military political repercussions.
00:05:17.860 Biden administration also said that they believe that Russia plans to threaten to kill the families of Ukrainian soldiers if they don't surrender.
00:05:26.000 Also, NATO Secretary General Jans Sultenberg says that the alliance sending thousands of commanders to nations in Eastern Europe near Ukraine,
00:05:39.340 it will be beefing up arms support and continuing to send weapons and air defenses to Ukraine and reinforcing defenses on allied territory, territory of NATO.
00:05:49.400 Russian State News has announced that Russia is deploying 12,000 Chechens to Ukraine.
00:05:58.780 The Chechens are brutal, brutal killers, probably the most brutal on the earth.
00:06:10.760 Saturday, Britain's Ministry of Defense put out new intelligence update on the Russian-Ukraine war.
00:06:16.700 They say Russian forces have continued their advance on Kiev with the bulk of their forces and are now 30 miles away from the city.
00:06:24.320 Ukraine's Ministry of Interior has asked all people in the country to turn off the geolocation on their cell phones as Russians are beginning to track gatherings of people.
00:06:34.220 As locations may possibly be tracked, even with geolocation GPS turned off, it is best to completely remove the battery on your cell phone, if possible, to ensure your location cannot be tracked.
00:06:48.260 Ukrainian President Zelensky seemed to hint that Turkey had closed its strait, leading many reports that they have done this.
00:06:59.620 But reports by Reuters say Turkey has not yet decided to close the straits.
00:07:04.120 I believe that happened later.
00:07:06.960 Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmitry Kulba, has responded to apparent propaganda that Ukraine has plans to launch a dirty bomb into Russian territory.
00:07:19.180 Then YouTube blocked the Russian state news, Russia Today, as well as other Russian channels from receiving money from advertisements.
00:07:29.320 French President Emmanuel Macron said he has asked Lushenko, the president of Belarus, to demand that Russian troops leave the country.
00:07:40.480 Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Russia's nuclear deterrent forces on alert in response to Western sanctions and rising tensions.
00:07:51.900 This was yesterday.
00:07:54.220 Former U.S. defense intelligence analysts said that Putin is escalating the conflict into the nuclear domain in order to de-escalate, that is, topple Kiev's regime quickly due to the fact that his forces aren't getting the job done.
00:08:07.680 Russia's war on Ukraine failed to provide Russia a quick and decisive victory after four days of fighting.
00:08:15.160 Russia reportedly pulled their ally Belarus, Belarus, Belarus, Belarus, in on the conflict, according to the Ukrainian news.
00:08:27.080 Yada yada.
00:08:28.160 The embassy in Moscow for the United States put out an announcement telling all U.S. nationals to leave Russia, quote, immediately.
00:08:35.860 Lindsey Graham stated that he believes Russia may be ready to level a Ukrainian city with a nuke and kill thousands of civilians to break their will and break our will.
00:08:47.720 He's a moron.
00:08:49.220 The British Defense Ministry has put out an intelligence update that says Russia's ground forces remain 30 miles north.
00:08:56.860 Now, this is 24 hours later.
00:08:59.200 They're still 30 miles from Kiev.
00:09:02.840 Let's see.
00:09:05.360 Fighting is heavy.
00:09:06.300 British Prime Minister stated the United Kingdom, which sends 40 million more pounds in aid to Ukraine for medical supplies and assistance to the country.
00:09:14.380 Now, today, the exchange rate for the Russian ruble is now at a record high at about 117 to 125 ruble for every one dollar.
00:09:25.560 The central bank has also lifted the borrowing rate from 9.5 percent interest rate to 20 percent.
00:09:35.200 This is in Russia.
00:09:36.240 We are at now European US DEFCON 2.
00:09:44.380 There are two DEFCON settings, one in the United States theater here at home and one in Europe.
00:09:55.460 The one at home is at DEFCON 3.
00:09:58.620 DEFCON 2, the last time America had a DEFCON 2 setting, was for the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
00:10:11.360 DEFCON 2 is the highest preparedness level.
00:10:16.400 DEFCON 1 means nuclear war is imminent or already happening.
00:10:21.780 This puts our ground forces and all of our forces in a be ready to engage the enemy within six hours.
00:10:34.020 DEFCON 3 is be ready to deploy in 15 minutes.
00:10:40.220 Two means six hours to engage the enemy.
00:10:44.320 So we are gearing for war in Europe.
00:10:47.460 Now, something doesn't feel right.
00:10:59.000 So, Europe decided to impose the SWIFT sanctions.
00:11:05.580 Now, the SWIFT sanctions, a little piece was kind of left out by everybody last week that's kind of important.
00:11:12.140 Everyone, including me, was calling for the SWIFT sanction.
00:11:20.380 Seems pretty easy.
00:11:22.640 Cut off their banks.
00:11:24.280 We're still not cutting off their oil supply.
00:11:27.400 That should be done before anything else.
00:11:30.660 We are still buying Russian oil and gas and so is Europe.
00:11:36.560 Even though that is true, gasoline is now $8 a gallon in London.
00:11:47.300 $8 a gallon.
00:11:54.840 Joe Biden said last week that he was going to do everything he could to make sure he eases the pain at the gas pump.
00:12:00.760 And he's reached out to Saudi Arabia.
00:12:03.060 Saudi Arabia has said no to us.
00:12:04.820 He's reached out.
00:12:06.860 He's close to a deal with Iran.
00:12:09.540 But he closed yet another avenue for oil here in the United States this weekend.
00:12:19.560 Fact number one that doesn't make sense.
00:12:22.080 If you have something and you are really, truly trying to help America and help the little guy with gas prices, the last thing you do is open up the strategic oil reserve.
00:12:37.060 The first thing you do is open up all of the pathways to pump more oil and refine more gas.
00:12:46.620 The last thing you do is buy oil from Iran and Russia if they are your enemy.
00:12:54.460 If you think that it's worthy of DEFCON 2, then you should probably make sure, since we don't have solar panel jets yet, that you have the fuel in country to be able to fight a war.
00:13:15.040 So fuel makes no sense.
00:13:19.420 The next thing that doesn't make sense, the SWIFT sanctions.
00:13:26.500 First, we didn't do them.
00:13:27.880 And the first thing you do after you cut their oil, which we still haven't done, is cut their banking system and you hurt them at the bank level.
00:13:38.800 Now, that sounds great.
00:13:40.640 However, I learned something new as soon as they did it.
00:13:45.260 Then experts decide to say, oh, by the way, here's what happens when we do that.
00:13:52.760 Shouldn't we have known that last week?
00:13:55.220 Shouldn't some of these experts have been out last week and say, here's why we're not cutting them out of SWIFT?
00:14:05.300 SWIFT, by the way, is the international banking system so you can transfer large sums of money between banks.
00:14:12.320 You can't, as a country, do business if you can't communicate between banks.
00:14:17.920 So they're out.
00:14:19.460 So what does that mean?
00:14:20.540 Well, Russia apparently has billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars in debt with banks all over the world.
00:14:30.220 If they can't pay those loans, what happens?
00:14:35.100 That hurts the banks on our side.
00:14:38.980 So the banks have a shortage.
00:14:41.140 The banks become unstable after the Russian banks do.
00:14:46.780 But the banks become unstable here.
00:14:50.520 And I don't understand.
00:14:51.700 Honestly, I'm trying to have reached out to people who know these things.
00:14:56.680 I still can't understand it yet, but I will hopefully by tomorrow and be able to explain it to you in a much better way.
00:15:02.900 But they're also having to deal in U.S. dollars.
00:15:07.980 And that's how they pay their loans, which makes a shortage of dollars for these banks in the West, which means the solution is for our Federal Reserve to print more U.S. dollars.
00:15:22.440 And we're talking about trillions of dollars.
00:15:26.420 Now, how does that help us at home?
00:15:32.480 So our gas is going up and our dollar is being deflated even more.
00:15:40.760 Okay, that doesn't really make sense.
00:15:43.220 Here's another thing that doesn't make sense.
00:15:45.120 Somebody help me out.
00:15:47.120 I believe they're E4s.
00:15:49.320 Look that up, Stu.
00:15:50.420 I believe they're E4s and they may be different now.
00:15:53.600 But back in the 80s, we had E4s.
00:15:56.480 And the first thing we would do when we would go into a country is we'd knock out its power and its communications.
00:16:03.300 You don't want people being able to, you know, the troops to be able to communicate with command.
00:16:09.740 You knock out command and control communication.
00:16:13.340 Okay.
00:16:14.080 You also knock out the electricity.
00:16:16.760 It causes confusion and chaos.
00:16:19.520 That way, no one has any information.
00:16:23.060 The Russian internet, I'm sorry, the Ukrainian internet is Russian companies.
00:16:32.740 Now, why wouldn't these Russian companies be told by Vladimir Putin, please don't let anybody communicate and organize online.
00:16:44.000 Don't let anyone start putting out propaganda of how well they're doing.
00:16:52.680 For God's sake, shut the internet off before you get Zelenko looking like a world hero.
00:17:00.680 Zelensky.
00:17:01.300 Or Zelensky looking like a world hero.
00:17:04.400 If I'm Putin, I'm probably throwing those people out of windows, I don't know, by Saturday.
00:17:13.560 Why?
00:17:16.060 Why?
00:17:17.680 Why didn't they go in with the jammers?
00:17:20.280 Are the E4s the jammers?
00:17:21.840 E4s, it's a mobile command and control post.
00:17:25.440 In a plane.
00:17:26.600 Yes.
00:17:26.880 Right?
00:17:27.140 Okay.
00:17:27.400 Yeah.
00:17:27.960 So they can jam everything and make sure our communications are up, I believe.
00:17:34.940 Anyway, doesn't matter.
00:17:36.420 What matters is we shut countries down when we go in.
00:17:41.240 It's the first thing we do.
00:17:43.900 Why didn't he do that?
00:17:46.120 Why are we still seeing all of these stirring pictures?
00:17:50.620 It doesn't work to his advantage.
00:17:54.060 It only strengthens the Ukrainians and strengthens the world's resolve against Putin.
00:18:01.680 Am I right?
00:18:03.120 We were told there was going to be all the cyber attacks and all of these things leading
00:18:06.660 up to it, which...
00:18:07.860 He can shut that down immediately.
00:18:10.440 Wasn't there something that Elon Musk and his satellites are providing some internet,
00:18:15.180 but that's still...
00:18:16.020 Yesterday, there was some problems with their internet, some problems with one of their
00:18:20.760 internet providers, as I understand it.
00:18:23.460 And so they needed some backup.
00:18:26.580 So Elon Musk sent his technology over to them, which doesn't require internet.
00:18:32.380 It's all on satellite.
00:18:33.600 It's great technology, yada, yada, yada.
00:18:36.080 And I'm glad he did it.
00:18:37.820 But he should have been asked to do that on day one, not over the weekend.
00:18:44.460 Again, more things that don't add up.
00:18:47.980 And I don't know what they add up to, but something isn't right.
00:18:54.160 And we'll continue in 60 seconds.
00:18:59.700 The one thing that we must do is exercise our heart.
00:19:04.940 We have to keep the heart of America, that charitable, see people in pain heart open.
00:19:12.880 We have to continue to support our police and our heroes, their families.
00:19:20.740 Let me tell you something.
00:19:21.960 If the military doesn't know who their friends are, that's a problem.
00:19:32.740 Our military, we have always supported our military on the right, because it's basically
00:19:39.420 our sons and daughters.
00:19:40.960 Leftists aren't sending their kids into the military.
00:19:43.900 Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been supporting America's heroes and their families, the first
00:19:49.120 responders that give their life or give their limbs, the ones that are going overseas to
00:19:54.920 fight our battles.
00:19:56.500 They do everything from lifting their mortgage up.
00:20:01.540 And so they don't have to worry about a mortgage.
00:20:03.600 That family can continue to stay together without all that pressure to building homes, mortgage
00:20:10.120 free homes for these these people who survived and now maybe can't work because of it.
00:20:18.020 Our nation's hero, the people that put their lives on their line for our country and our
00:20:22.600 communities need your help.
00:20:24.200 Help these heroes and their families.
00:20:26.000 You can do it by joining a great, a great organization.
00:20:29.840 Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good in their honor.
00:20:33.000 Donate $11 a month at T2T.org.

00:20:59.240 Okay.
00:21:00.100 A couple of other things that don't make sense to me.
00:21:02.660 First of all, Zelenko was not known mainly to the world, not known to people like, you
00:21:10.940 know, my wife who doesn't pay attention to all of this stuff.
00:21:13.840 To the point that people keep calling him Zelenko on national radio.
00:21:16.640 No, I know.
00:21:17.140 Sorry.
00:21:17.360 That's one of the craziest parts.
00:21:19.100 Sorry.
00:21:19.560 Zelensky.
00:21:20.260 Zelensky.
00:21:20.740 Sorry.
00:21:21.200 There's just too many.
00:21:22.100 I've written down.
00:21:22.840 Yeah, I know.
00:21:23.240 There is a Zelenko.
00:21:24.560 It's not.
00:21:25.820 Zelensky.
00:21:26.400 Sorry.
00:21:26.960 I'm sorry.
00:21:27.140 So, Zelensky's not known to the average person a week ago.
00:21:33.240 The only thing people, they may have known him from some of the Trump back and forth.
00:21:36.360 Yeah, that's it.
00:21:36.700 And maybe that he was a comedian or an actor that played the president on TV, I believe,
00:21:43.480 right?
00:21:43.600 Yes.
00:21:43.740 And then was elected president.
00:21:44.860 Okay.
00:21:45.160 So, he's not known.
00:21:47.200 Now, he's known as a hero.
00:21:50.420 In fact, he's known by the average American now and is kind of in the position, if you
00:21:56.880 kill him, it's almost like killing the Archduke Ferdinand.
00:22:05.220 Remember what happened with the Archduke Ferdinand?
00:22:10.980 Something else doesn't make sense.
00:22:15.160 Why are all the anti-war left people all of a sudden so pro-war?
00:22:21.180 Have you noticed that?
00:22:22.660 All the people who won't defend our borders are demanding that we defend the borders of
00:22:27.940 Ukraine.
00:22:28.880 All the people who are against the Second Amendment are all saying, hey, look how great this is.
00:22:35.460 They're handing guns to all of their citizens.
00:22:38.020 All those who, you know, said the truckers should all go to jail are now saying these
00:22:44.920 anti-war people in Russia, they shouldn't be prosecuted.
00:22:49.600 We should go help them.
00:22:52.320 What's happened here?
00:22:55.720 What exactly is happening?

00:23:09.720 I was in CPAC this weekend.
00:23:12.460 I said, you know, Putin is evil.
00:23:14.920 Yet, it was spun as I was for Putin.
00:23:17.660 Isn't that weird?
00:23:20.020 A lot of, a lot to mortgage refinance than just a lower rate.
00:23:25.140 It's an opportunity to access home equity, fund home improvements.
00:23:29.120 Maybe pay off high interest debt before those rates rise again.
00:23:34.340 All of these things and more are possible when you give American Financing a call.
00:23:39.080 This is the lender that I recommend.
00:23:40.920 They're salary-based mortgage consultants.
00:23:42.920 They're in it for you.
00:23:43.840 They're not in it for the bank.
00:23:45.420 That means you don't get any pressure, no obligation.
00:23:49.120 There's no tricks or anything else.
00:23:51.220 Just simple conversations about the many ways they can save you money.
00:23:55.240 And I'm talking about $1,000 a month possible.
00:23:59.440 You can also skip up to two mortgage payments and close in as little as 10 days.
00:24:04.000 Take some of the pressure off.
00:24:05.460 Do the right thing.
00:24:06.280 Get into a locked lower interest rate with American Financing.

00:24:21.320 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:24:38.480 This is the program that will come out and say,
00:24:42.240 Putin is a bloodthirsty killer and should not have the support of any American.
00:24:51.320 He is a bloodthirsty killer, period.
00:24:55.660 He is a blight on his people and the people on Earth.
00:25:01.500 However, Ukraine also has its problems of corruption,
00:25:07.380 and much of that is centered with the Biden administration
00:25:12.200 and former Obama administration and Hillary Clinton.
00:25:16.740 So, they're not clean either.
00:25:20.500 We can also say the Ukrainian people want their freedom and do not want to be Russian.
00:25:29.080 And we should do everything we can as individuals to help them.
00:25:37.500 Should we go to war?
00:25:39.220 However, let's hold off on that.
00:25:43.680 Let's be very careful.
00:25:45.480 We're at DEFCON 2.
00:25:48.440 This is the first time the United States has been at DEFCON 2 since 1962.
00:25:55.700 The Cuban Missile Crisis.
00:25:56.800 Let's slow down here just a minute.
00:26:01.640 We're bringing Pat Gray in from Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:26:05.100 Hello, Pat.
00:26:05.800 Hello, Glenn.
00:26:06.560 I don't think we're going to have to do much more
00:26:08.480 because the International Federation of Soccer has taken care of this for us.
00:26:14.340 You see the sanctions they imposed on the Russians?
00:26:16.440 Yeah, I did.
00:26:16.840 I did.
00:26:17.240 Oh, my God.
00:26:17.840 I did.
00:26:18.260 Yeah.
00:26:19.520 On Sunday, they said that Russia can no longer be known in soccer circles as Russia.
00:26:26.760 What?
00:26:27.000 They must now be called the Football Union of Russia.
00:26:29.980 No.
00:26:30.740 Yeah.
00:26:31.120 Yeah.
00:26:31.640 Yeah.
00:26:32.000 There's another one.
00:26:32.920 I don't know if you got this one, but this is the real body blow.
00:26:36.080 The world judo body.
00:26:38.220 I just heard this.
00:26:39.860 Has suspended.
00:26:40.820 Breaking news.
00:26:41.680 Putin as its honorary president.
00:26:44.000 No.
00:26:44.420 This thing's over.
00:26:45.180 Yeah.
00:26:45.520 This thing's over.
00:26:46.220 He was a big judo, you know, whatever.
00:26:49.060 Look, I want the war to end like everybody else, but that's going too far.
00:26:51.740 I know.
00:26:52.240 Now it's humiliating.
00:26:53.240 There are the Geneva Convention.
00:26:54.880 Thank you.
00:26:56.400 Agreements, after all.
00:26:57.360 Speaking of weird things, I wish I could share more, writes Rubio.
00:27:04.240 I wish I could share more, but for now, I can say it's pretty obvious to many that something
00:27:09.820 is off with Putin.
00:27:11.500 He has always been a killer, but his problem now is different and significant.
00:27:16.220 It would be a mistake to assume this Putin would react the same way he would have five
00:27:21.460 years ago.
00:27:22.780 Apparently, he is referencing a fairly well-known idea that has been circulating the circles
00:27:33.880 of intel for the last few years, that Putin has been diagnosed with a severe brain tumor,
00:27:41.560 and they think that this may be affecting his judgment.
00:27:47.280 Wow.
00:27:48.040 Send him doctors without borders would be a...
00:27:51.720 Can we just take a look?
00:27:52.960 Can we...
00:27:53.260 Because maybe we could help you out here.
00:27:54.440 So, in the United States, we've got a president with dementia, and in Russia, we've got potentially
00:28:01.640 the leader of that country with a brain tumor that's affecting his judgment.
00:28:06.640 And that's not good.
00:28:07.660 Yeah.
00:28:08.140 That's not good.
00:28:09.060 You know what the problem is on both of those?
00:28:10.960 is when those leaders have damn near absolute power.
00:28:16.540 Yeah.
00:28:17.180 You know what I mean?
00:28:17.800 When they can just sign things into a decree and we just do them.
00:28:22.180 That's why a constitutional republic is so important.
00:28:27.160 What are the chances that all of this happening weakens Russia to the extent that his enemies
00:28:34.560 at home decide to remove him from power?
00:28:37.680 That's what we're trying to do.
00:28:39.160 We're trying to do that.
00:28:40.160 That's what the sanctions would be for.
00:28:43.580 That would be great.
00:28:44.900 That would be great if somebody took him out.
00:28:46.480 Except, could we wait just a second?
00:28:48.480 Well, we know it's going to be somebody worse.
00:28:49.800 Of course.
00:28:50.400 Who is going to replace him?
00:28:52.080 Of course.
00:28:52.760 It's a problem.
00:28:53.560 Although, there might be some validity to that because they have run into a situation
00:28:59.200 I don't think they expected.
00:29:00.420 They're taking more severe losses than I think they thought they were going to.
00:29:07.300 Yeah, that's why it's it's 3,300 troops already.
00:29:10.700 Why?
00:29:11.480 4,300 Russian troops are dead.
00:29:13.700 Bloodthirsty killer.
00:29:15.460 He doesn't care.
00:29:17.260 Why is this happening?
00:29:19.500 I mean, if Biden were doing it, OK, I get it.
00:29:23.520 He's a moron.
00:29:25.280 Everybody who's running our Pentagon, they brought us, you know, Afghanistan.
00:29:31.140 Putin doesn't do that.
00:29:33.740 Why would why would the elite let communications remain?
00:29:38.980 Electricity remain?
00:29:40.420 Why wouldn't he roll in now?
00:29:42.200 Just the number of troops, too.
00:29:43.460 I mean, they made this big deal of 190,000 troops, which is a lot.
00:29:47.600 But I mean, Ukraine has 250 to 270,000.
00:29:51.980 That doesn't even include the citizens that are just going and picking up guns right now.
00:29:55.340 So to try to invade an entire country, Russia has a million troops plus another two million reserve troops.
00:30:02.840 And they sent in one hundred and ninety thousand for this giant country.
00:30:06.540 It's just a it's a weird approach.
00:30:09.080 They don't seem to be.
00:30:10.140 Now, look, they're they're doing all sorts of terrible things.
00:30:12.880 But this does not seem like the full force of the Russian military right now.
00:30:18.180 So I don't know what they're doing.
00:30:19.460 Like I had that thought of maybe they're trying to signal we're going to take over the entire nation so that when they fall back to these these couple of regions, everyone's like, oh, thank God.
00:30:29.620 They only took those two regions.
00:30:30.740 Right.
00:30:31.080 Which is what they were going for in the first place.
00:30:32.640 Right.
00:30:32.840 I don't know.
00:30:33.300 Maybe that's it.
00:30:33.980 I don't know.
00:30:34.540 I can't come up with a lot of rational explanations.
00:30:36.760 You know, when you say, you know what, we're going to put our nukes on ready alert.
00:30:42.080 That's a problem.
00:30:43.380 That's like a real problem.
00:30:45.260 Oh, yeah.
00:30:46.700 Belarus coming in.
00:30:47.900 It's another thing.
00:30:48.640 Belarus has announced they're sending their troops in.
00:30:51.880 They're now on Russia's side.
00:30:53.820 We knew they were on Russia's side.
00:30:55.500 Chechnya, too.
00:30:56.040 Yeah.
00:30:56.380 Chechnya.
00:30:56.820 So now you have you have another nation state and Chechnya involved.
00:31:02.800 What does that do to the neighbors there?
00:31:06.360 There are the neighbors Poland hungry.
00:31:10.020 Are they just going to sit there and go?
00:31:11.420 Yeah, we're going to let those guys go in and take Ukraine.
00:31:16.180 I mean, when it was one against one, maybe.
00:31:19.180 But now the other countries that are in Europe are starting to fight for and with the Russians.
00:31:25.480 Well, Belarus was always there, though.
00:31:27.180 I mean, I know.
00:31:27.920 But the only reason the guy's in power is because of Russia.
00:31:30.280 I know.
00:31:31.340 So, I mean, but it is it's significant.
00:31:33.560 They're almost Soviet satellite.
00:31:35.680 Yeah, I know.
00:31:36.500 But still, it is it is different than just one on one is or is anyone going to join?
00:31:44.740 I just there is a growing chorus of people because we're seeing the heroics of of the people in Ukraine.
00:31:53.280 We're seeing we're seeing the heroics.
00:31:55.580 Let me let me ask you this.
00:31:57.020 Let's say Russia was going to let's say all the blue states decided to declare war on all of the red states.
00:32:09.080 Are they going to shut down?
00:32:11.080 Do you think Google's going to shut down our ability to be on Facebook and share our videos?
00:32:18.140 Yeah, yeah, of course, they would.
00:32:20.900 Of course, they're not even at war and they're shutting down our ability to share.
00:32:23.920 I know.
00:32:24.360 So, of course, they're going to do that.
00:32:26.840 Why is the Russian oligarchy allowing these videos to be posted and shared?
00:32:36.020 They're on networks that are owned by Russians.
00:32:42.900 So what's the suspicion there?
00:32:44.820 What is the I don't know?
00:32:46.960 Just there are too many things that all that everybody who wants change in the world stand to gain everybody in this.
00:32:58.380 Can you name one way the American people can win in this?
00:33:01.580 The American people, not the government, the American people.
00:33:04.900 How do we win in this?
00:33:07.440 Even if we don't go to fight, how do we win?
00:33:10.020 I mean, the best case scenario is maybe Ukraine kicks their ass and he goes home and gets removed from power and it stabilizes the region.
00:33:22.980 I mean, long term, maybe there's a win there.
00:33:25.580 Maybe.
00:33:25.720 But in the meantime, how do we lose?
00:33:27.720 Oh, I mean, our supply chain is destroyed, right?
00:33:30.220 Right.
00:33:30.380 Our financial system and our economies and for real trouble, real trouble, gas and oil, real trouble.
00:33:38.480 OK, so I can find a million ways the American people lose.
00:33:41.880 I can't find anything other than, you know, rainbows and unicorns on how we win, you know, us as people.
00:33:50.920 OK, here in America.
00:33:52.800 And yet every single group that has asked for change and want are leading us into a new glorious empire from Russia and and what's his name?
00:34:11.220 The prophet over there that has been saying, you know, we need a new world order led by Russia.
00:34:18.340 He's getting everything he wants.
00:34:20.540 He's getting chaos, everything that he wants.
00:34:24.420 You have Russia still getting all of the oil and gas sales, including more than usual.
00:34:32.400 OK, you have the Europeans who are all for the great reset, who are all for clamping down on people that they're now accusing like us of being pro Putin.
00:34:45.980 They they they can clamp down on us if we're at war and we're saying, wait a minute.
00:34:55.360 We're not going to if they're closing down Russia, they've already been closing us down.
00:35:00.800 It just seems as though nothing is coordinated.
00:35:03.960 I'm not suggesting that what I am suggesting is what I said at the end of, you know, what I said was coming years ago, that the anarchists, the communists would all work together.
00:35:19.980 To overthrow the West and America.
00:35:24.860 Now we are out of this weakened stage.
00:35:29.060 Is Russia trying to get us into a war because it would collapse us now?
00:35:37.020 It's going to collapse him, too.
00:35:38.640 But if you're best buddies with China, notice China is sitting this one out.
00:35:45.380 China is a big winner and your best buddies with China.
00:35:49.600 Maybe he thinks I'll get the number two spot.
00:35:52.420 I'll get Europe because China will prop me up in the end and bring me back.
00:35:58.160 And we'll have the glorious Russian Empire funded and sponsored by China.
00:36:02.560 China, everyone that has an agenda to change, fundamentally transform the United States of America wins in every scenario I can come up with.
00:36:15.880 And I can't come up with one where the American people and freedom win.
00:36:22.080 That should cause us pause because everybody is drawing sides right now.
00:36:28.360 And and soon, if not already, what I'm saying to you now will be interpreted by many as being pro Putin.
00:36:37.680 I'm not.
00:36:39.060 I think Putin is a bloodthirsty killer.
00:36:42.640 If we could put a bullet in his head today, it would be a very good thing.
00:36:48.220 But before we before we all express to each other, we're at DEFCON 2.
00:36:54.160 Let's remember DEFCON 2 hasn't happened in the United States since 1962.
00:37:00.540 And we were on the world of blowing each other up.
00:37:05.560 This has gotten very serious for the entire world quickly.
00:37:10.900 Maybe some adults.
00:37:12.820 Should have a conversation openly.
00:37:17.200 And those adults are not in government.
00:37:21.360 Those adults are you.
00:37:24.160 We need to discuss this and calmly and rationally think this through.
00:37:32.920 Does that make sense to you, Pat?
00:37:35.440 Stu?
00:37:36.360 Yeah.
00:37:37.420 Yeah, I think so.
00:37:38.240 I think so, yeah.
00:37:38.620 I mean, I don't know how we win if we don't do anything either.
00:37:42.400 So I know.
00:37:43.260 It just seems.
00:37:44.280 And who always wins in that?
00:37:45.940 The left always has a lose-lose situation and a win-win for them.
00:37:51.460 Always.
00:37:51.860 Always.
00:37:52.440 Always.
00:37:52.800 All right.
00:37:54.480 The Tuttle Twins.
00:37:55.740 The attack on freedom might seem a little more pronounced in other places in the world right now than it does in America.
00:38:01.040 But it is real here.
00:38:03.300 We have got to preserve our history.
00:38:07.920 It could go away tomorrow.
00:38:11.960 Please.
00:38:13.520 We have to be able to rise up and say no to big government and yes to personal freedom and liberty.
00:38:20.620 And our kids have to understand it.

00:39:31.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:39:34.560 I was at CPAC over the weekend.
00:39:37.940 You can find that speech.
00:39:39.680 I don't know if we've posted it yet.
00:39:41.960 But also, Tulsi Gabbard spoke right after me.
00:39:45.680 And she was fantastic.
00:39:48.960 Fantastic.
00:39:50.100 I mean, I was sitting backstage with a bunch of people and they're all like, I can't believe this is coming out of the mouth of a Democrat.
00:39:57.660 I mean, she is right.
00:40:00.400 She is right on almost everything she said in that speech.
00:40:04.140 In fact, everything she said in that speech, as far as I remember it.
00:40:07.720 It's notable.
00:40:08.420 I think she has an 8% conservative voting record.
00:40:12.480 Yeah.
00:40:12.800 Eight.
00:40:13.460 But she's talking about principles.
00:40:15.280 She's just on the same step with a lot of people on these issues.
00:40:19.060 We are beyond talking about tax policies.
00:40:24.040 And we have to talk about principles.
00:40:25.560 The same thing with this Putin thing.
00:40:27.960 You know, I mean, maybe it's just me that doesn't feel this is right.
00:40:31.920 But everybody seems to be scrambling for a position of send in troops saying that I send in troops.
00:40:40.980 Are you hearing that from a lot of people?
00:40:42.360 I am I am hearing the people that didn't that work against the Second Amendment cheering for guns.
00:40:50.460 I'm hearing I've heard that.
00:40:52.380 Yeah.
00:40:52.880 Yeah.
00:40:53.060 I'm just hearing the beginnings coupled with all of these very great things coming out of the Ukraine that works to soften the American heart towards war, believe it or not, because we see these people day after day.
00:41:10.720 And I don't know about you, but I look at them and I like, man, yeah, I want to do I want to help them.
00:41:16.300 You want to help.
00:41:16.760 I want to help them.
00:41:17.900 But do you want to send in American troops?
00:41:19.800 Because no, I don't.
00:41:21.260 No, no, I don't.
00:41:22.240 I don't.
00:41:22.800 And short of that, they're going to get overrun eventually.
00:41:26.540 I mean, it might take more time than Putin imagined, but he he will take that country back in a minute.
00:41:33.820 Your health belongs to you, and so does the responsibility for taking care of it.
00:41:43.200 Over the last couple of years, we learned just how responsible government and big pharma are with your health, which is to say we shouldn't really rely on them.

00:43:43.860 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:43:48.540 What is happening in Ukraine and what is it we should do about it?
00:43:56.960 If anything, let's have a conversation as adults, not saying you're just pro-Putin or you're anti-freedom.
00:44:08.180 Let's actually, as adults, have a rational conversation because Europe, the United States DEFCON level in Europe has been raised to DEFCON 2.
00:44:21.240 The next level is nuclear war.
00:44:26.480 This is as high and as prepared as we can get.
00:44:31.440 And the last time it happened in America was 1962.
00:44:34.940 So maybe we should have a conversation before we go in guns a-blazing.
00:44:42.460 We continue our conversation in 60 seconds.
00:44:45.880 Phil wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.
00:44:51.440 He says,
00:44:51.560 With Relief Factor, it's at a 2 or 3, sometimes a 1 or 2.

00:45:48.160 Or relieffactor.com.
00:45:50.560 We have Pat Gray joining us, along with my executive producer, Stu Bergeer.
00:45:57.120 We're just talking about what's happening in the Ukraine, and what are we supposed to do about it?
00:46:03.380 It's a hard question, because the only thing we could do, really, to help them, actually help them remain free and independent, is to send troops.
00:46:13.520 We could send supplies.
00:46:15.760 Yeah, and we are.
00:46:16.540 We are sending supplies.
00:46:18.180 But that's not going to stop the Russian invasion.
00:46:20.560 I mean, it might delay it for a while, but it's not going to stop it.
00:46:23.860 They'd need, I think they'd need American forces to fight off Russia.
00:46:27.380 They're just, you know, they're one-tenth the size of the Russian army.
00:46:31.860 So, are there any Americans who want troops on the ground in Ukraine?
00:46:37.080 I don't think so.
00:46:38.220 Not very many.
00:46:38.820 I've heard many people arguing for that, though.
00:46:40.880 Have you?
00:46:41.540 No, it's just, but it's kind of just, it's nebulous what everybody is, I mean, what do you want to do?
00:46:48.680 Here's the thing we should demand that our government does.
00:46:52.520 Shut down the Russian imports and the Iranian imports of oil.
00:47:00.200 Yeah.
00:47:00.360 Shut it down.
00:47:01.180 The one thing he has not done, he hasn't touched their oil.
00:47:04.220 Neither has Europe.
00:47:05.400 I know.
00:47:06.240 And you know what would solve that?
00:47:08.400 Is if he wouldn't have shut down all of our oil and gas.
00:47:12.700 He shut down all of our oil and gas.
00:47:15.040 So now we can't say to Europe, don't worry.
00:47:17.600 We got you covered.
00:47:18.960 We can't do it.
00:47:20.340 It'll take us eight months at least to get back everything, get back up online.
00:47:24.640 And you know what Joe Biden did this weekend, besides going to Delaware, what kind of ice
00:47:31.000 cream did he have?
00:47:31.840 I don't.
00:47:32.560 I'm not sure.
00:47:33.460 It looked like chocolate from the picture I saw.
00:47:35.640 Yeah.
00:47:35.900 It's really good.
00:47:37.080 Chips?
00:47:37.240 Chocolate chips?
00:47:37.960 Any in there?
00:47:38.440 Was it chocolate chocolate chip?
00:47:39.640 I don't know.
00:47:39.980 Any marshmallow in there?
00:47:40.960 I don't know.
00:47:41.620 Oh, I hope we find out for the media this week.
00:47:43.680 So once again, we have shut down more oil processing plants.
00:47:52.440 We halted new drilling over the weekend.
00:47:56.020 Good.
00:47:56.500 That was a good move.
00:47:57.680 Another good move.
00:47:58.220 What the hell is that?
00:47:58.980 So the first thing that we should do, we're not doing anything until you start opening things
00:48:04.760 up.
00:48:05.760 All of this bogus pain that the Americans are going to feel at the gas pump is not due to
00:48:11.980 Russia.
00:48:12.940 It is all due to Joe Biden.
00:48:15.100 Period.
00:48:16.020 Well, no, it's also due to Russia.
00:48:18.340 If it wasn't for Russia, it would be worse.
00:48:22.440 Right.
00:48:23.740 You know, we could we if they're selling more oil to our allies in Europe, they're selling
00:48:30.200 more oil than they did two weeks ago.
00:48:34.220 Right.
00:48:34.460 But without the invasion, we wouldn't need the extra supply.
00:48:37.900 Right.
00:48:38.600 The Russia is still responsible for large chunks of this.
00:48:42.780 However, if you prepared for uncertainty by, you know, having a supply of of the basic
00:48:51.520 fuels you need and able to export those fuels to help the global market, we'd certainly be
00:48:57.700 in a much better position.
00:48:58.700 Everything that Biden has done has made this worse.
00:49:01.440 So that is a huge part of this.
00:49:03.980 I think, though, you get to this point where what do you want to do?
00:49:08.620 Do you want to do you want to extend the massive the most amount of pain possible to the Russian
00:49:15.260 economy to stop them here?
00:49:17.980 Is that our goal?
00:49:18.740 Is that essentially what we want to do?
00:49:21.620 Like with these sanctions so far, I would like to do everything.
00:49:24.600 Some.
00:49:25.080 Here's what I here's as president of the United States, if I were president, here's what I
00:49:28.440 would be saying.
00:49:29.180 First of all, open up all of the spigots here.
00:49:33.020 A hundred percent.
00:49:33.700 First thing.
00:49:34.000 We should be doing that anyway.
00:49:34.900 Yeah.
00:49:35.220 Open them up.
00:49:36.540 And I'm not going to do that today.
00:49:38.140 The new IPCC report came out saying climate change was worse than ever.
00:49:41.820 It's already happening.
00:49:43.060 Shut up.
00:49:43.520 So there's no chance of them embracing that philosophy.
00:49:46.760 Got it.
00:49:47.260 I'm saying if I were president, here's what I would do.
00:49:49.820 First thing.
00:49:50.660 Open them up.
00:49:51.900 The second thing I would do is I would be on the air all the time like Reagan used to
00:49:59.200 speaking right directly to the Ukrainian people.
00:50:03.440 And I would be saying Ukrainian people.
00:50:06.720 You are being seen by the entire world.
00:50:11.640 We're watching you.
00:50:12.900 We're praying for you.
00:50:14.280 We're standing with you.
00:50:15.900 And we are sending as much aid as we can.
00:50:20.120 That means that we will help you with with systems and bullets.
00:50:25.200 But it is also we are standing ready with the Red Cross to help you.
00:50:31.740 So your families aren't just slaughtered and left to die.
00:50:35.800 We are with you.
00:50:37.620 Continue to to rise up.
00:50:39.600 That would make a huge, huge difference.
00:50:43.260 It did in Poland.
00:50:44.080 Remember, with the collapse of the Cold War with Reagan sending those messages directly
00:50:49.320 into Poland.
00:50:50.200 That made a huge difference.
00:50:51.940 We don't have a Zelensky or a Beck, though, to make those speeches.
00:50:55.000 We have a guy who fumbles through every sentence and is lucky to get through his ice cream.
00:50:59.140 And so we have no ability to do that, which is a huge problem.
00:51:03.060 I'm not criticizing your approach there.
00:51:04.740 I'm saying it would be great if we had that ability.
00:51:07.100 We do not.
00:51:08.260 We do not.
00:51:09.100 OK, the the the next thing.
00:51:11.640 You disagree with that?
00:51:12.120 No, no.
00:51:13.560 But we're not even trying.
00:51:15.140 No, we're not even trying to try.
00:51:16.740 The the next thing that I would do is I would be trying to encourage anybody that is in a
00:51:27.980 position to take the position in Russia.
00:51:33.280 I'd be just encouraging them.
00:51:35.860 And it might be just through squeezing their financial accounts.
00:51:40.620 Go kill that guy.
00:51:42.880 Go kill that guy.
00:51:43.540 You know, what's his name?
00:51:46.560 Marco Rubio said over the weekend, I wish I could tell you more.
00:51:51.780 But all I can tell you is the old Putin wouldn't act like this.
00:51:55.820 There's something different about this Putin.
00:51:57.860 And what he's referring to is this idea that that Putin may have a brain tumor.
00:52:04.060 You don't know.
00:52:05.060 That's what you're not saying that for him.
00:52:06.840 You're saying that's the speculation.
00:52:08.540 That's the speculation.
00:52:09.560 OK, so if that's what you're saying.
00:52:13.540 That's true.
00:52:14.620 We should be out with that.
00:52:17.100 We should be saying that.
00:52:19.300 The guy we know through Intel has a brain tumor.
00:52:25.260 That in itself would help destabilize Russia.
00:52:29.000 Russia, the ruble is about to collapse.
00:52:32.340 It's the worst day again today.
00:52:34.460 Yeah.
00:52:35.380 Since I guess 1998, they had a real collapse of the ruble.
00:52:38.880 It's worse than that today.
00:52:39.980 OK, so it's it's about to collapse.
00:52:42.940 The the Russian people are already on the street saying no war.
00:52:48.460 You release information that is credible that he has a brain tumor.
00:52:53.680 And there's a brain tumor rumor, intelligence, whatever it is.
00:52:59.840 Is that is that saying the tumor is affecting his decision making or decision making seeing the end of his life and trying to make a move before it's too late?
00:53:07.560 Decision making.
00:53:08.160 OK, although I think it could be both.
00:53:09.940 It could be both.
00:53:10.560 It could be both.
00:53:11.840 So what what else?
00:53:13.100 I mean, so do you do the swift situations, cut them off from international banking?
00:53:19.540 Do you launch?
00:53:21.400 Yes.
00:53:22.040 Yes.
00:53:22.160 Do you launch a no fly zone over every out of your mind?
00:53:26.220 Are you out of your mind?
00:53:28.820 So you let Russian, you know, I don't put American planes up there against a nuclear power that is already said they're they're engaged with nukes, that they are ready to use their nukes.
00:53:43.300 They're at DEFCON, too, as well.
00:53:45.760 We're going to put our guys to police that.
00:53:48.100 So then our guys are shooting down Russian planes.
00:53:51.340 That's World War three immediately.
00:53:53.440 What about travel?
00:53:54.800 Do you?
00:53:55.460 Do you?
00:53:55.820 Well, is it Maverick and Goose?
00:53:58.560 Do we have our best out there?
00:54:00.260 We only have Iceman.
00:54:01.420 Really?
00:54:02.000 Yeah.
00:54:02.340 OK, no.
00:54:03.000 He's pretty good, though.
00:54:03.940 Yeah.
00:54:04.180 He's pretty good.
00:54:04.760 But he's no Maverick.
00:54:05.400 Goose didn't even make it through the whole movie.
00:54:06.880 Yeah.
00:54:07.620 I think Goose died.
00:54:08.820 He couldn't even eject properly.
00:54:10.180 Goose died.
00:54:10.760 Goose died.
00:54:11.080 He couldn't even eject out of a plane properly without banging his head on the ceiling.
00:54:14.920 Moron.
00:54:17.260 Sorry.
00:54:17.780 Rest in peace, Goose.
00:54:18.780 Do you guys do a no fly zone?
00:54:22.600 Well, no, I wouldn't.
00:54:24.220 I don't think we're doing any of that, right?
00:54:25.920 Like, the question is, are you letting, you know, are aircraft prevented from flying over
00:54:33.400 Russia?
00:54:34.300 I'm talking about not even military aircraft.
00:54:36.340 I'm talking about aircraft containing with all sorts of supplies and cargo and important
00:54:41.140 things.
00:54:41.540 It's like these things are are going all over the globe all the time.
00:54:45.280 They're all avoiding Ukraine right now.
00:54:47.480 Now, if I were if I were a pilot.
00:54:49.620 Exactly.
00:54:50.040 And we see your pilot today.
00:54:52.020 We are definitely not flying over Ukraine.
00:54:55.420 We've seen a tendency over the years for Russia to just have some incidents with aircraft
00:55:01.680 crossing over there.
00:55:02.820 Exactly right.
00:55:03.500 Yeah.
00:55:04.400 So we've already Europe is already shutting down.
00:55:08.140 We're not letting any Russian flights go anywhere near us.
00:55:11.120 They're shutting those things down.
00:55:13.260 Eventually, you get to a point where no one can fly anywhere.
00:55:15.400 And we have all sorts of problems with the supply chain, which I might remind you, we already
00:55:20.360 have significant issues with.
00:55:22.460 So that's another thing on top of all of this to consider.
00:55:26.860 You know, that that's the problem with the gas and oil stuff, too.
00:55:30.040 Now, I tend I tend to be on the side of make this as difficult as possible and quickly and
00:55:35.700 quickly and hope that it's enough for internally Russia to rise up and say, get this guy out of
00:55:41.100 here, because it's it's not if this goes poorly in Ukraine, it is not without it's not
00:55:46.340 out of the realm of real possibilities that they will just get sick of this.
00:55:51.220 And these oligarchs or or just the people throw these guys out and throw them out of
00:55:56.680 the Russian people are not for this.
00:55:59.420 Now, not that he cares about the Russian care at all.
00:56:01.860 He doesn't care at all.
00:56:03.080 However, if the oligarchs and everybody sees that the the population is going unstable and
00:56:10.020 it is also hurting them.
00:56:12.580 Yeah, they probably put a bullet in his head.
00:56:15.680 Let's stop this.
00:56:17.100 OK, you're you're making our business for what?
00:56:21.220 What are you doing?
00:56:22.020 Yeah.
00:56:22.300 For what?
00:56:23.000 That's another part of this.
00:56:24.120 No one knows what he's after.
00:56:26.220 You know, I mean, yes, he's saying stuff like he's after the collapse of the West.
00:56:29.280 I really do.
00:56:30.160 You don't think this is about him putting the band back together.
00:56:32.180 This is I just want you creating ours.
00:56:34.400 We should have it.
00:56:35.160 I think he'd like to put the band back together.
00:56:37.160 But he if he can do remember, how did how did Reagan collapse the Soviet Empire?
00:56:44.880 Part one was with the big lie about Star Wars, the Star Wars defense system.
00:56:50.340 And he made them spend themselves into oblivion to oblivion.
00:56:54.940 OK, what would this do to the West?
00:56:59.160 What is what is just Swift doing to the West?
00:57:02.160 We're having to print billions, if not trillions of dollars more.
00:57:07.460 OK, we're already having an inflation problem.
00:57:10.240 We have to now print billions, if not trillions of dollars more to bail out all of the Western banks that have any kind of loans with Russia.
00:57:19.960 So that's not going to help our economic situation.
00:57:23.460 If we do go to war.
00:57:26.640 Are we financially in the situation where we could afford an out and out war?
00:57:32.380 We would collapse pretty quickly.
00:57:34.720 Now, they would say, well, so will Russia.
00:57:38.500 But if Putin is as crazy as it seems he is, hell bent on something we don't understand, that it makes logical sense to him.
00:57:48.620 That logic may be, yeah, but I'm the one remembered for taking down the West.
00:57:56.580 And then all of this will be will be easy to grab.
00:58:01.960 Because all we have to do is appeal to their nationalism and their energy needs.
00:58:08.160 And we got that.
00:58:10.140 I mean, I'm probably wrong.
00:58:13.920 I'm probably wrong.
00:58:15.540 I think the issue here is it's so hard to explain.
00:58:18.040 There doesn't none of this seems reliable.
00:58:20.460 Like, you know, watching this stuff this weekend, I started thinking, is it possible we're just getting sort of this pro-Ukrainian side of this?
00:58:29.940 Where not not not as far as like who's right or wrong.
00:58:32.340 I mean, that's clear.
00:58:33.480 But the side of maybe Russia isn't struggling as much as as we're being told.
00:58:40.680 And you are so pro-Putin.
00:58:42.340 I'm not.
00:58:43.140 I mean, I hope that's not it.
00:58:44.440 But it's one of the it doesn't make any sense that Russia would would be doing the things that they're doing.
00:58:50.320 So I wonder, are we getting the true story now?
00:58:53.800 That being said, he wants that Black Sea port so badly.
00:58:57.200 Yeah.
00:58:57.800 That he's he's willing to thumb his nose at the entire world.
00:59:01.100 No, but it's it's more than that.
00:59:02.560 He's not even fighting.
00:59:03.640 He's fighting like Joe Biden.
00:59:05.100 He is.
00:59:07.320 Yeah.
00:59:07.520 I would expect this if Ronald Reagan or Donald Trump were going into war, it would not be fought like this.
00:59:14.820 Would you agree?
00:59:15.660 We would let him have it and take it as quickly as we could.
00:59:21.240 We'd use all of our resources.
00:59:23.060 You don't want to be, you know, you want to take the breath away from the Ukrainians.
00:59:28.580 Well, they're not doing that.
00:59:30.480 They're fighting like Joe Biden would fight it.
00:59:33.020 Now, maybe that's because Putin does have a brain tumor or it's crazy or whatever.
00:59:37.140 I don't know.
00:59:38.700 But if he's not, why is he fighting this way?
00:59:43.560 Why is he?
00:59:44.640 Why?
00:59:44.920 I don't know.
00:59:47.360 It just doesn't feel right.
00:59:49.900 Oh, we've talked a lot of times, though, and maybe it's just as simple as this is how wars are fought now.
00:59:55.580 And because, you know, the elites got together 80 years ago and decided all those rules, I think, are out the window.
01:00:03.820 I think so.
01:00:04.420 I do.
01:00:04.940 I think we're headed to a new world order.
01:00:07.900 But let's I'd like to hear your opinion.
01:00:10.560 888-727-BECK.
01:00:11.920 Can you explain this?
01:00:15.720 What's going on?
01:00:16.880 888-727-BECK.
01:00:22.080 Now, let's tell you about real estate agents.
01:00:25.200 I trust finding the right real estate agent when you're looking to buy or sell a house or both is incredibly important.
01:00:31.660 Mediocre real estate agents are a dime a dozen.
01:00:33.960 But when you can get your hands on someone who knows precisely what the best practices are, what's really needed to get the job done, then you've struck gold.
01:00:43.740 You need somebody who can see the process through, someone who's, you know, someone who is doing more than just participating in the process and hoping that it'll all turn out.
01:00:55.820 That's where real estate agents I trust come in.
01:00:59.120 It's a company that I started because I was I didn't honestly know how to even find the right real estate agent.
01:01:05.560 I don't know.
01:01:06.160 Will you sell my house?
01:01:07.340 Yes.
01:01:07.840 OK.
01:01:08.240 We'll try you for a first year.
01:01:11.640 I mean, what is that?
01:01:13.120 How do you find them?
01:01:14.140 There is a solution to this.
01:01:16.140 And we have applied that to find the best real estate agents in your area.
01:01:20.660 The ones that we deem having the best business practices and the best track record to help you.
01:01:26.220 You do your own interview.
01:01:27.320 And don't take my word for it.
01:01:28.460 Just call.

01:01:35.680 10 seconds.
01:01:36.320 Station ID.
01:01:38.240 Coming up in a couple of minutes, we're going to be talking to a freelance journalist who just escaped Ukraine on foot and one of one of the brave parliamentary ministers from Ukraine that is still in Ukraine.
01:02:00.940 We're going to be talking to them in about a half hour from now.
01:02:05.360 So, where do we go from here, do you think?
01:02:16.360 Was anyone concerned about the DEFCON 2 thing?
01:02:23.540 Oh, yeah.
01:02:24.260 Well, I mean, the Russians basically came out and said, hey, we're on full alert for our nuclear weapons.
01:02:29.560 Putin said that.
01:02:30.460 Yeah.
01:02:30.660 And he's threatened everybody that it would if anybody intervenes here that you're going to get the worst experience you've had in your history or something to that effect.
01:02:41.000 Alluding to the fact that, you know, you're going to get a nuclear launch against you.
01:02:45.840 And we didn't respond with that same standard.
01:02:48.180 No.
01:02:48.720 We didn't go to that level.
01:02:51.600 And, you know, of course, the press is like, look at the restraint from Joe Biden.
01:02:55.680 Look at this amazing restraint.
01:02:58.980 They can spit it, can't they?
01:03:01.320 Amazing restraint to not say back, oh, yeah, well, our nukes are bigger than yours.
01:03:06.440 That's basically what that's insanity.
01:03:08.540 Right.
01:03:08.660 We do not want to get into a nuclear war.
01:03:10.600 Let's avoid that.
01:03:12.300 Yeah.
01:03:12.840 I'm throwing it out there.
01:03:13.840 But let's avoid it if we can.
01:03:15.400 That would be great.
01:03:16.480 And I think that's I mean, he launches one nuke, even if it was like a bunker buster nuke, you know, that we've talked about using in the past.
01:03:24.500 They go deep in the earth.
01:03:26.120 They don't have the fallout and radiation, et cetera, et cetera.
01:03:29.260 Even if it was that the world would go crazy.
01:03:32.200 Yeah.
01:03:32.560 He immediately loses if he does that.
01:03:34.640 And why would he do that when just, what, three years ago, he said the next war is not going to be fought with nukes.
01:03:41.540 It's going to be fought with ones and zeros.
01:03:44.360 Maybe he really has changed.
01:03:46.120 And there's something to these rumors of him becoming much more erratic.
01:03:50.160 I don't know.
01:03:51.320 Also, he could just be saying things.
01:03:53.280 Right.
01:03:53.420 He hasn't he hasn't done this.
01:03:55.260 But we saw last time everyone was like, well, I don't know, you know, in Ukraine was like, he's not going to come across this border.
01:04:01.920 And there he is.
01:04:02.760 So, you know, I mean, as you always say, Glenn, when people and crazy people say crazy things, you should take them at their word.
01:04:10.420 And DEFCON 2 is taking him at his word.
01:04:14.240 DEFCON 2 means that our troops are at their highest level in in Europe.
01:04:20.480 They have to be ready to engage the enemy within six hours.
01:04:25.740 Wow.
01:04:27.300 Scary.

01:04:36.180 Right, Pat?
01:04:37.300 You've got a I've got a dog.
01:04:38.660 You know, you have a dog.
01:04:40.060 And how big is your dog?
01:04:40.820 Pretends to be a dog.
01:04:42.540 How big is it?
01:04:43.260 How big is your dog?
01:04:44.260 How many pounds?
01:04:45.080 About half the size of a nice sized rat.
01:04:47.680 Right.
01:04:48.180 How many pounds?
01:04:48.960 Like two?
01:04:49.740 Yeah, I think she's four pounds.
01:04:51.360 She's four pounds.
01:04:52.880 Literally four pounds.
01:04:54.000 What kind of dog is that?
01:04:54.640 That's adorable.
01:04:55.720 I forget what kind.
01:04:59.520 A mookie or a yappy.
01:05:01.380 Or a yappy.
01:05:02.640 It's a yappy.
01:05:03.220 Yip, yip, yip, yip.
01:05:03.920 I don't know.
01:05:04.200 Yip, yip, yip.
01:05:05.700 You feed her rough greens.
01:05:07.600 Yes.
01:05:08.260 She won't eat her food without it.
01:05:10.560 Doesn't that seem like rough greens is almost taking us hostage now?
01:05:15.420 Almost.
01:05:16.400 Yeah.
01:05:16.800 They wouldn't eat their food before, but now it's like, you won't put that on.
01:05:21.220 I'm definitely not ever.
01:05:22.760 In fact, I'm turning on you.

01:06:04.700 We're glad you're here.
01:06:05.820 Thank you so much for listening.
01:06:08.340 We have Manny Morata on.
01:06:11.060 He is he's going to we're having problems with our phone system, our software system.
01:06:15.820 Have gone down Putin.
01:06:20.040 So we're trying to get our phones back online.
01:06:22.980 We'll have him on as soon as we possibly can.
01:06:25.960 You know, the one thing I think it is important to think of is that I think there's a lot of
01:06:31.900 Democrats and leftists, a lot of people who just could that have Trump derangement syndrome
01:06:38.700 that see the Ukrainians as a substitute for them and Putin is Trump.
01:06:49.000 So I think they they see themselves because how else could you be for the Ukrainian people and this fight against the power, you know, or is to cross the border.
01:07:02.640 And yet you'd be for, you know, throwing people in from January 6th and not have them even see a trial yet.
01:07:12.040 How is it you're for Justin Trudeau silencing people and saying that a peaceful protest?
01:07:17.960 How can you be for the protesters in Ukraine?
01:07:20.880 And it doesn't make sense unless you see the Ukrainian people as yourself and you're a Democrat or a lefty and you see them fighting against their.
01:07:36.340 Donald Trump, I mean, I guess they'd argue that they think their side is just in these matters, right?
01:07:44.680 Their side is right on January 6th.
01:07:46.840 Their side is right on Canada.
01:07:48.140 Their side is right on the battle between the big boogeyman.
01:07:51.500 There is their version of Putin, Donald Trump.
01:07:55.140 That would I mean, because I'm against Putin and I'm for the Ukrainian people.
01:07:59.860 And and how is it that we're being told we're somehow or another for Putin?
01:08:04.360 We're not.
01:08:04.980 We're clearly not.
01:08:06.340 Now, what's going on?
01:08:08.540 Let's go to Manny.
01:08:10.380 The phones are working now.
01:08:12.260 Manny Mirota.
01:08:13.060 He is a freelance journalist.
01:08:15.400 He actually flew from Pittsburgh to Ukraine to cover the lead up to the war with Russia.
01:08:24.560 And he got caught up in it.
01:08:26.400 He is now in Poland after a very long walk.
01:08:30.900 Hello, Manny.
01:08:31.460 How are you?
01:08:33.340 I'm doing well.
01:08:34.400 Thank you for having me on the show.
01:08:35.480 You bet.
01:08:37.400 Glad that you're out safe.
01:08:40.000 Can you tell us what it was was like over there when the alarms first started going off and you knew, oh, man, we're in trouble?
01:08:50.480 Oh, yeah, absolutely.
01:08:51.220 I mean, up until the invasion, nobody knew that anything was wrong.
01:08:54.700 And then suddenly on the morning of the invasion, we woke up to the sound of air raid sirens and it turned out that cities all over the country were being bombed and our city could have been next.
01:09:05.080 I was in Lviv, which was a Western Ukrainian city.
01:09:07.500 We went outside and we heard people speaking on loudspeakers saying find shelter, help the elderly, stockpile water.
01:09:14.880 It was it was rather scary.
01:09:17.100 I mean, the whole country began at once to panic.
01:09:19.380 And it was one day, literally one day, nothing's really happening to, oh, my gosh, here it is.
01:09:28.300 Oh, yeah.
01:09:29.340 Yeah.
01:09:29.580 For the longest time, the Ukrainians denied that anything was happening because they wanted to preserve.
01:09:35.480 I mean, they wanted to preserve their sovereignty.
01:09:37.200 They wanted to preserve their country.
01:09:38.780 And so they said Putin won't invade.
01:09:41.860 And we all believed him and we all believed in Ukraine.
01:09:45.340 And it really seemed like Putin would not invade.
01:09:48.460 And then this really came upon us suddenly.
01:09:50.540 It really suddenly Russian army was in Ukraine.
01:09:54.920 Bombings were happening.
01:09:56.320 And, of course, now thousands of people have died in this war with Ukraine, war with Russia.
01:10:01.220 So tell us, I mean, because we're seeing social media and we're seeing unbelievable heroism on the part of the Ukrainian people and the president of Ukraine.
01:10:17.140 It seems like they're not willing to go anywhere.
01:10:20.560 Is is that the truth of what's happening?
01:10:25.140 Absolutely.
01:10:26.160 Absolutely.
01:10:26.700 I mean, from what I saw from the Ukrainian people, they will defend their sovereignty until the very end.
01:10:32.720 Ukraine is a relatively newly independent country.
01:10:35.440 In 1992, they freed themselves from the Soviet Union.
01:10:39.100 And now they are trying to defend themselves in the greatest possible sense.
01:10:42.920 It's only been 30 years since they've become newly independent.
01:10:45.760 And now Ukraine is trying to establish its own identity in Europe and trying to keep itself free from the reins of Russia, coming back to retake it.
01:10:55.660 And so the Ukrainian people are going to defend every street, every home, every alley, every inch of Ukrainian soil they can.
01:11:03.960 And they are enthusiastic about it like you've never seen.
01:11:07.840 Because they remember what life is like under Russia.
01:11:11.540 I mean, I can't believe that Putin thinks that they would remember things, that they would forget things like the holodomor quickly.
01:11:19.520 Right.
01:11:20.080 You know what I mean?
01:11:21.340 Right.
01:11:21.600 You tend to have a long memory on stuff like that.
01:11:25.660 Absolutely.
01:11:26.540 And the holodomor is part of the national memory of Ukraine.
01:11:30.260 And they mourn it all the time and everywhere.
01:11:32.680 There are monuments to it in nearly every major city.
01:11:35.220 And, of course, life under the rest of the Soviet times was terrible for the average Ukrainian.
01:11:40.200 There were repressions.
01:11:42.700 You couldn't practice free speech.
01:11:44.960 You had to stay in line with the party.
01:11:47.840 You couldn't establish the Ukrainian identity.
01:11:49.820 You had to be a part of the Russian identity.
01:11:51.860 And so Ukrainians are worried about that happening again.
01:11:54.700 I spoke to several Ukrainians who had lived under the Soviet Union, older Ukrainians, and they were just terrified that it would be something like that again, that Russia would exert power over Ukraine once again.
01:12:05.020 So, when you're walking out, you had about 50 miles, right?
01:12:09.260 That's 70 kilometers?
01:12:11.120 Yeah.
01:12:12.360 Thereabouts.
01:12:13.460 It was, like, I believe the exact amount was 43 miles and 74 kilometers was the exact number.
01:12:21.500 But, yeah, a very long walk.
01:12:22.980 And it wasn't just me.
01:12:23.780 It was thousands of Ukrainians, oftentimes elderly, oftentimes children, and they're the ones who are the true heroes of the story, that the vulnerable members of society were walking out of Ukraine this huge distance.
01:12:37.240 And what did you, what was your conversation like?
01:12:42.480 My conversation with the Ukrainians?
01:12:44.240 Yeah.
01:12:44.820 On that walk.
01:12:45.640 What did you learn?
01:12:47.580 Well, I spoke with a wide variety of Ukrainians.
01:12:49.900 I spoke with children.
01:12:50.880 I spoke with young men.
01:12:52.260 I spoke with old women.
01:12:53.800 I spoke with a variety of people.
01:12:55.700 And they all had, they were all, first of all, they were all unified by their fear of being taken over by Russia.
01:13:00.860 And that's why everyone was walking out.
01:13:02.800 But everybody was, of course, committed to protecting Ukraine as well.
01:13:07.540 And their plan was to reform on the other side of the border and to fight for Ukraine eventually.
01:13:15.140 And so the children, of course, were afraid.
01:13:17.440 The children didn't know why they were leaving.
01:13:19.380 The children didn't know why they were forced out of their beds by this invasion, why they had to march out into the cold, why they had to go without food and water, because these people didn't have food and water for the entire walk.
01:13:28.900 And it was just this long and grueling trek.
01:13:33.520 And so the elderly people, as I mentioned to you before, they remembered Soviet times.
01:13:37.060 They were mentioning that this could happen again.
01:13:39.840 And that's why they were trying to avoid that.
01:13:42.860 And so they were among, of course, the young men who would have to go fight very soon into the walk.
01:13:50.100 They were conscripted into the army.
01:13:52.440 And it was just this wide conglomeration of people united by a fear and a hatred of Russian domination.
01:14:02.000 When you got to Poland, you're in Poland now, are you not?
01:14:05.140 I'm in Poland.
01:14:06.200 I'm speaking to you from Krakow, Poland right now.
01:14:08.080 Oh, wow.
01:14:10.420 When you got to Poland, what did that feel like?
01:14:13.880 What did the refugees go through?
01:14:15.760 It was just an incredible sense of liberation among the refugees to be in a country that, of course, was not being invaded, but also a country that was still sort of living under the specter of Russian domination.
01:14:30.360 And now we're in Poland, which is a free country, a country that has its own long history of repression by Russia.
01:14:37.360 And there's a sort of solidarity between the Poles and the Ukrainians.
01:14:41.020 And the Poles have been very receptive to the Ukrainian refugees because of this brotherhood that they have, because of their shared path of repression by Russia.
01:14:49.800 And so the Poles are taking the Ukrainians in, in private homes, in hotels, in the guest houses, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are staying and the Poles are welcoming them well.
01:15:03.300 And it's just this great sense of relief.
01:15:06.060 But the job isn't done until the war is over, of course.
01:15:08.520 Tell me about two tweets that you made.
01:15:10.920 One, you said, we made friends with a 24-year-old named Max, who was pulled out of the caravan as he talked with us.
01:15:17.840 I had time to get his number before conscription, and he left with a grin of utter disbelief.
01:15:23.080 I'll never forget that face.
01:15:24.500 And the next one was, a woman screamed for the Army to spare her husband from conscription.
01:15:30.000 A soldier slapped her and took her husband.
01:15:32.360 Things seem really desperate.
01:15:34.460 Tell me about this.
01:15:35.740 Yes.
01:15:37.140 Well, first I'll tell you about Max.
01:15:38.720 So during the long walk, obviously, as I mentioned, I spoke to many Ukrainians, and one of them was this 24-year-old, as I mentioned, 24-year-old named Max.
01:15:49.740 Maxime was his name.
01:15:51.780 And we walked together for quite a long time.
01:15:55.760 We learned about each other.
01:15:57.100 He's pretty much my age.
01:15:58.400 So we had a lot to relate to with each other, even though we grew up on, you know, opposite sides of the Atlantic.
01:16:04.240 And so we sort of made friends.
01:16:06.400 And then towards the end of the walk, in the last 10 kilometers, an Ukrainian Army officer came along and said,
01:16:15.160 all men aged 18 to 60, step out of this caravan right now.
01:16:19.240 You're going to be conscripted into the Army.
01:16:21.060 And at first, Max didn't believe he'd have to go.
01:16:23.520 And then the man yelled at him specifically.
01:16:26.520 And he just looked at me with this truck, this grin of, as I mentioned, disbelief.
01:16:31.340 And he stepped out of line.
01:16:33.860 And I didn't see him for the rest of the walk, of course.
01:16:39.560 But by the way, he did get back in touch with me.
01:16:42.040 So I've been in contact with him since then.
01:16:44.340 And he is safe.
01:16:45.860 And he's in Western Ukraine right now.
01:16:48.140 And he is not currently fighting the Russians.
01:16:50.440 So I'm glad to hear from him.
01:16:53.060 The second story, though, is the second story is a lot sadder.
01:16:56.880 As you mentioned, it's this brutal account of a man being taken away from his wife.
01:17:04.040 What happened in that occasion is, as I mentioned to you,
01:17:08.100 Zelensky ordered that all men aged 18 to 60 had to be conscripted into the Ukrainian Army.
01:17:13.780 And so this caused a lot of fathers to be taken away from their children,
01:17:19.380 husbands to be taken away from their wives, brothers from sisters, and sons from mothers.
01:17:23.940 And one of these couples, I won't forget, and it's the one that's mentioned in the tweet,
01:17:29.220 the husband and the wife, they began arguing with the soldier,
01:17:32.080 I don't want to go, I can't go, I have to protect my wife.
01:17:35.460 Because these men were often caregivers for their families.
01:17:38.060 They had to protect their families as they crossed the border.
01:17:40.720 And so this man was just trying to protect his family.
01:17:43.200 And the wife was pleading with the soldier.
01:17:45.940 She was on her knees at one point, and she was standing up, and she was crying.
01:17:50.400 And he was pretty not empathetic about it.
01:17:54.100 And he hit her, and they took the husband away.
01:18:00.300 And it was just this tragic scene.
01:18:02.880 And it was not isolated either.
01:18:04.580 This happened a hundred times in just the time that I was there.
01:18:08.640 And I'm sure it's happened 1,000 more times.
01:18:10.780 It's crazy.
01:18:11.420 So is your feeling that most are going because they want to defend their country,
01:18:17.260 but there are a few that are like, I've got to protect my family,
01:18:21.260 or are most of the Ukrainians serving because they have to?
01:18:25.880 I mean, they're caught between a rock and a hard place here.
01:18:30.760 They want to protect their families, of course, and their family's safety is their top priority.
01:18:37.180 But then also they love their country deeply, and they want to serve their country as well.
01:18:40.880 And so some men have taken the choice where they prioritize the solidarity of their country over the sovereignty of their country,
01:18:49.300 may I say, over their temporary safety, their temporary being alive.
01:18:57.640 So they prioritize the sovereignty of their country.
01:18:59.780 And then there's this other group who wants to keep their family safe.
01:19:03.120 And these are two very different groups, and they both have noble intentions,
01:19:08.320 and they're just caught in this tragic situation, you know.
01:19:11.920 So it's tough for men in the grain.
01:19:14.720 I've only got about 30 seconds for an answer here, but with what you've seen,
01:19:19.940 I've always believed if you send in a foreign troop and you have people that are defending their land,
01:19:25.180 their family, their country, you're most likely going to lose unless it's overwhelming force.
01:19:32.740 With what you've seen, who are you betting on, the Russians or the Ukrainians?
01:19:42.520 Manny?
01:19:43.480 Is he there?
01:19:44.720 We lost him.
01:19:48.880 Putin.
01:19:49.620 It would be pretty surprising if you said the Russians, though.
01:19:53.340 Yeah.
01:19:53.980 I feel like.
01:19:55.240 Yeah, but I mean, to have somebody that was there and could see it,
01:20:01.700 it would be surprising to hear that, but I think you'd be able to hear what was.
01:20:06.980 Yeah, what was emotionally and what was.
01:20:10.960 I thought this was a really underplayed and offensive moment from Joe Biden before this was happening.
01:20:16.480 Remember, they kept saying over and over again, they're coming in tomorrow, they're coming in tomorrow,
01:20:19.300 and he was making all those warnings.
01:20:20.400 And at one point he said, look, if the Russians want to come in here and take it, they're going to take it.
01:20:24.260 And I just remember thinking like, yeah, we all know the different size of the military and the capabilities,
01:20:28.760 and there's a lot to that, but you can't you can't just tell a country that they're going to lose and they're not going to accept that.
01:20:36.300 Especially one that hates the Russians, have been occupied and refuse to go back.
01:20:41.440 All right, our sponsor this half hour is Patriot Mobile.
01:20:44.660 The line is in the sand.
01:20:46.260 It's been there for quite a while, and that line isn't between Democrat and Republican, conservative or liberal.
01:20:51.060 It is between Americanism and leftism, freedom and slavery, good or evil.
01:20:59.060 That's it.
01:21:00.500 One of the best ways to stand up for freedom and fight the distortions from the left
01:21:06.560 is to join together whenever we can to support businesses that hold the same values that we do.
01:21:12.660 I've been talking about Patriot Mobile for quite a while now because that is what they do.
01:21:17.800 Patriot Mobile, I saw them at CPAC this weekend.
01:21:20.760 They were there.
01:21:23.180 And God bless them for all of the work that they do.
01:21:27.360 It's beyond a phone service, but let me just tell you about their phone service first.
01:21:31.600 Patriot Mobile, they have plans to fit any budget,
01:21:34.160 100% U.S.-based customer support team, is awesome.
01:21:38.380 They also share your values, support organizations fighting for religious freedom,
01:21:42.560 constitutional rights, and you're going to save money.
01:21:45.480 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck, 972-PATRIOT.

01:21:57.840 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:22:04.160 Okay, the next name of the guest is C.V. Latoslav Urash.
01:22:26.360 That sounds good, doesn't it?
01:22:27.940 Yeah, it's going to roll right off my tongue when I introduce him.
01:22:31.360 It didn't sound mechanical the way you just did that.
01:22:33.820 No, it sounded really natural.
01:22:35.500 C.V. Latoslav Urash.
01:22:37.780 Huh?
01:22:38.240 A little better?
01:22:38.960 A little better?
01:22:39.560 I'll screw it up as soon as they're on the phone.
01:22:41.400 Of course.
01:22:41.740 Member of the Ukrainian Parliament.
01:22:44.360 Youngest serving member of the Ukrainian Parliament.
01:22:46.660 Now, still in service and in country, we're going to talk to him about what he has seen
01:22:56.620 and what is really going on with Russia and the Ukrainian Parliament.
01:23:01.740 Who is it?
01:23:03.120 C.V. Latoslav Urash.
01:23:05.260 C.V. Latoslav.
01:23:07.180 Right.
01:23:07.660 Oh.
01:23:08.500 Don't ask me in the middle.
01:23:09.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:23:11.620 We've got no room to compromise.
01:23:35.620 We've got to stand together if we're going to survive.
01:23:39.620 Stand up straight and hold the line.
01:23:47.520 It's a new day, I'm trying to rise.
01:23:53.960 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:23:59.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:24:03.440 Stand up.
01:24:04.760 The front line of the invasion of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
01:24:14.760 Russians are moving into it now.
01:24:17.880 There are also negotiations happening.
01:24:20.720 We don't know if President Zelensky is in these meetings himself on the border of Belarus.
01:24:28.320 Belarus has said they're coming in on the side of Russia.
01:24:32.300 We are looking at a very dangerous situation.
01:24:35.880 We are currently trying to make connections to the youngest ever member of the Ukrainian Parliament who is still there in Ukraine.
01:24:44.720 The parliament is still kind of up and running and he's going to tell us what's really going on in Kiev right now.
01:24:55.880 And hopefully he will have some other information he can share with us from Ukraine in 60 seconds.
01:25:03.880 So that inflation that we've been loving so much for a while now, it might spiral even further out of control now.
01:25:15.580 Not just because of the war in the east with Ukraine, but also because of the sanctions now that we have put on, which I am for.
01:25:29.320 But we enacted the SWIFT sanctions.
01:25:32.520 That is going to mean our Fed most likely is going to have to print billions, if not trillions of dollars more to bail out all of the European banks that had any transactions going with Russia.
01:25:46.480 So it's going to get worse.
01:25:48.240 Gas prices are also spiking again.
01:25:51.540 Why am I telling you this?
01:25:53.060 Because there is something you can do.
01:25:55.280 You know what else is spiking over the weekend?
01:25:57.460 Gold prices.
01:26:00.300 Find out about their special at Goldline right now.
01:26:04.160 They have a special promotion that includes free silver, one ounce Indian replicas with every box of 20 of the historic Indian gold coins.
01:26:13.560 You'll receive 10 of the silver replicas for free.
01:26:16.980 They're tough to find with the silver shortages hitting the market.
01:26:20.260 Now is a great time to get involved.
01:26:22.040 Call Goldline now.
01:26:23.860 866-GOLDLINE.
01:26:25.040 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.
01:26:29.640 All right.
01:26:30.420 We don't have him on yet.
01:26:31.500 If you just join the show, you please go back and listen because I think it's important that we have these conversations as adults on what's really going on.
01:26:49.380 It doesn't feel right to me.
01:26:51.740 Stu has been talking off air this morning and I don't think I've ever heard you like this before.
01:27:00.020 You are the optimist to my pessimist.
01:27:03.180 Many times.
01:27:03.980 Yes.
01:27:04.200 And this one really has you concerned.
01:27:08.480 Well, I think you're sort of downplaying the really bad possibilities here.
01:27:15.420 You know, because I think there's a there's a tendency, I think, understandably to say, OK, this is way over there.
01:27:22.880 It's some battle between Russians and Ukrainians.
01:27:25.380 And why are we involved in it at all?
01:27:27.960 Well, we, of course, have come, I think, a long way when it you know, when it comes to hang on just a second.
01:27:34.400 We have we will pick this conversation up.
01:27:37.520 We have the youngest member of the Ukrainian parliament.
01:27:40.400 I apologize in advance for butchering your name.
01:27:43.460 Sivya Toslav Yurash.
01:27:45.620 Welcome.
01:27:48.400 Welcome to you, Mr. Beck.
01:27:50.400 You've done a perfect job of pronouncing that very Slavic name.
01:27:54.340 Ah, well, great to hear that.
01:27:56.100 So, first of all, I want you to know that no matter what the American government is doing or saying, the American people are with you.
01:28:06.420 We have been praying for you.
01:28:08.220 We've been watching the heroics online over the weekend.
01:28:12.640 And we are with you.
01:28:15.940 And that is most appreciated.
01:28:18.080 And our job right now is to show the world the reality that Mr. Putin is waging a full-scale war, unlike any war since the Second World War, the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany.
01:28:31.560 This is the reality that he's trying to destroy our country.
01:28:36.380 And we will do everything by everybody to keep that from happening.
01:28:41.060 Our job here is simple.
01:28:42.280 Keep our nation free and independent.
01:28:44.600 Unless the Putin wants to destroy our leader state in Europe for the sake of his own imperialistic ambitions.
01:28:49.560 What is the spirit of the people like?
01:28:55.940 Do you have any idea on the number of civilians that are fighting and have joined the fight?
01:29:02.960 We basically need everybody we can get for this fight.
01:29:10.720 The reality is that we are allowing anybody who wants to join and needs to do so, needs to fight.
01:29:18.960 And basically, from the last couple of days, I was helping lots of veterans, lots of people with battle experience, to receive those means and to try and join that fight now in Kiev and in Kiev.
01:29:30.380 Because this is now, I'm in the capital right now, and this is the siege of that capital.
01:29:35.880 So, we've heard report that special forces are inside Kiev, and they're trying to confuse the defenses inside the city.
01:29:44.480 Is that true?
01:29:46.320 Are there Russian troops?
01:29:47.320 Very much so.
01:29:48.180 Very much so.
01:29:49.220 Very much so.
01:29:50.340 Basically, there have been various saboteurs that were captured in the center, basically very close to the presidential office.
01:30:00.380 And the point here is that they are trying to sneak in various different ways.
01:30:05.240 We also found people who were essentially put here before the invasion, you know, renting apartments and such, so they can spring into action afterwards.
01:30:15.260 But the point is, again, Russia is trying to basically destroy us, starting from the capital itself.
01:30:20.320 And the point for us is very simply to not let that happen in every way we can.
01:30:24.440 So, that's why we are accusing everybody, informing everybody to be vigilant for the Russians.
01:30:29.800 I mean, they were actually in the capital for quite a bit in the northern part of Kiev.
01:30:35.340 And there were heavy fighting there, where basically we distributed arms as wide as we could to try and destroy those forces into the town.
01:30:45.480 Any report?
01:30:48.220 The negotiations are going on right now.
01:30:51.820 Is Zelensky in the meetings himself?
01:30:54.720 And have you had any word on how they're going?
01:30:56.920 We are looking at that very closely.
01:31:01.020 And the points that we see basically want to, he wants the same thing, destroying our sovereignty, our right to choose our own future, right to choose our destiny, and destroying our defenses entirely, as well as elinquishing some of the parts of Ukraine, so that he's already occupied.
01:31:18.340 That should not happen either way, and the way we are pushing it at the moment provides us a very confident understanding that if this continues, we'll show to him and to everybody else that Ukraine is not a pushover, that we shall fight to the very end.
01:31:32.980 So, is there any acceptable negotiation other than he backs out?
01:31:38.340 That is not just our position, that is the whole world right now.
01:31:44.400 We are very clearly, and very importantly, saying that it is unacceptable that attacking nations and destroying nations in this introduction are some lessons we should have received in the Second World War, in the First World War, and all the other destructive conflicts that society has seen, the nation has seen.
01:32:03.880 This should not be, this should not be, this should not be, this should not be the only point, this should not be allowed, and again, we in the world demand of them to stop.
01:32:17.260 The sanctions, I mean, we are just at a loss here in America with our own administration.
01:32:24.820 The sanctions have, well, let me just get your opinion on them.
01:32:29.620 Are they helping?
01:32:30.840 Are they having no immediate effect?
01:32:33.880 You know, what are you, what should the United States be doing, or the West?
01:32:40.220 Russia has broken every single rule that exists in the international community, every single one.
01:32:45.780 And for that, Russians should be pushed out of every single forum that exists around the world.
01:32:52.900 And the United States, as the leading nation of the world, should be the champion in that, should be a nation pushing for that.
01:33:00.120 And we would certainly appreciate that.
01:33:04.420 Well, the U.S. is doing it a bit.
01:33:06.620 We are certainly putting in those javelins we received to good use, but we need so much more.
01:33:12.140 But there is never a point when something is enough as far as fighting one of the biggest nations,
01:33:18.680 one of the biggest nations, the biggest armies in the world, and the biggest nation in the world.
01:33:22.580 So the point here is that nothing is enough, everything is welcome, and as much as we can provide,
01:33:28.460 all that will put to good use, I'm seeing people already in Kiev.
01:33:31.880 Germany has now joined the nation supplying weapons and ammunition.
01:33:40.360 Finally.
01:33:40.920 We are seeing a lot of countries wake up.
01:34:05.340 So the sites of the naked aggression Ukraine is experiencing finally opened the eyes to Ukraine and reality to many countries,
01:34:12.960 which were dealt with before.
01:34:14.820 And basically, we are receiving these minutes by minutes of different countries making decisions and sanctioning Russia,
01:34:21.800 as well as providing weapons to Ukraine, support to Ukraine,
01:34:24.560 that show very clearly that basically Russia has its days numbered as far as global support,
01:34:31.260 as far as global understanding and global connections.
01:34:33.880 It appears as though Putin has either another agenda that none of us really know,
01:34:47.640 or he miscalculated, or he's crazy.
01:34:52.220 Any thoughts on that?
01:34:54.800 I think none of those options.
01:34:56.800 I think Mr. Putin is very clear throughout his career that he does not want Ukraine to be a sovereign state,
01:35:02.000 to be a independent state, and to be a state at all.
01:35:04.800 And the reality is that he is just putting his policies to effect now.
01:35:08.380 He understands there is no future in democratic policies for his point of view.
01:35:13.820 And that's why, as far as Ukraine is concerned,
01:35:15.760 he is putting it all now on this rule.
01:35:20.240 And he was hoping to take us over in a matter of days.
01:35:24.000 It's very obvious now that's not happening.
01:35:26.280 It's very obvious that everyone is mobilizing.
01:35:27.780 I've just seen a video of people walking out in front of Russian troops with nothing,
01:35:33.200 with just Ukrainian flags,
01:35:34.400 and screaming at them that their hometown is Ukraine,
01:35:37.620 and the babushkas throwing potatoes at those soldiers.
01:35:41.040 The point here is that, again, all of Ukraine now is mobilized for one simple goal,
01:35:45.840 to keep our nation independent, to keep our nation free.
01:35:49.500 Because, again, we have fought long and hard for many centuries for that chance.
01:35:54.640 And now when we have it, we are not going to just give it up.
01:35:57.140 I have done many episodes of my television show on Ukraine and the Ukrainian people,
01:36:05.740 and what you have endured, just the holodomor, is an abomination.
01:36:14.360 And I am so glad to see you stand up against Russia and not go down.
01:36:20.460 They wish you no good, no good.
01:36:24.080 Can you tell me the Ukrainian battle damage assessment, if you've seen that,
01:36:29.500 the Russian losses, how is that going?
01:36:34.900 Obviously, it's very hard to estimate with all the information coming in,
01:36:38.300 and you don't know what is fake news and what is accurate data.
01:36:43.520 But it's very obvious that the Russian losses are in their thousands now.
01:36:48.240 We have tried to count the destroyed machinery,
01:36:50.620 and we are counting more than hundreds of APCs.
01:36:54.000 We are counting hundreds of tanks.
01:36:56.000 We have destroyed many of their planes.
01:36:59.380 Basically, it's very hard to estimate.
01:37:01.100 The numbers I have seen are putting those facts to be obvious,
01:37:05.820 that the Russian army is being slammed in Ukraine time and time and time again.
01:37:09.940 And what is keeping your people going?
01:37:14.240 I mean, the typical thought would be that you are going to lose at one point.
01:37:23.660 What is it that you're hearing or hearing others say
01:37:27.500 that is keeping you together and keeping you pushing forward?
01:37:32.920 It is our country.
01:37:34.780 We have nowhere to go.
01:37:35.820 I was born in independent Ukraine, and I wanted to die in independent Ukraine.
01:37:42.420 I'm basically here with my generation.
01:37:45.460 I am completely unwilling to accept an entertained notion of Russian incorporation of Ukraine.
01:37:52.560 The fact of the matter is that for us, there is no choice here.
01:37:56.640 This is our land.
01:37:57.800 Russia wants to destroy us, take over, and we will fight against them.
01:38:02.300 And with everything we've got,
01:38:03.400 it's like those babushkas waving Ukrainian flags.
01:38:07.660 And we will get our country.
01:38:10.140 We will push Russia out.
01:38:12.580 And we are doing that every single day,
01:38:14.140 even in the Battle of Kiev, which we are experiencing right now.
01:38:16.800 I, again, wish you the best.
01:38:22.840 Please pass on to all those that you see that the American people, our hearts are with you.
01:38:29.660 We are seeing remarkable things come from you and your fellow citizens.
01:38:34.480 Our hearts and our prayers are with you, and we, at least I do, sincerely hope that the rest of the world gives you whatever you need to be able to hold on to your freedom.
01:38:50.660 God bless you.
01:38:51.320 Thank you very much for your support, for your prayers, for all the messages you keep sending to me and all of my countrymen.
01:39:04.460 It means the world, the fact that the world is caring, listening, and joining in.
01:39:08.580 God bless you.
01:39:10.240 Thank you very much.
01:39:11.500 The youngest member of the Ukrainian parliament,
01:39:17.260 Sivy Autoslav URush,
01:39:22.920 which I'm glad he hung up the phone before I butchered his name that time.
01:39:28.020 You can follow him at S-V-I-A-T-O-S-L-A-V-U-A.
01:39:36.100 That's on Twitter.
01:39:37.600 You can follow him again.
01:39:40.520 These guys, I think, are really remarkable heroes to stand where they are when they could get out,
01:39:49.660 to have the Ukrainian president say,
01:39:52.260 I don't need a ride.
01:39:55.500 I need bullets.
01:39:56.740 I thought that was, I mean, that's a Hollywood movie line.
01:40:02.840 Back in just a second.
01:40:05.880 Hey, it's tax time.
01:40:07.640 Isn't that great?
01:40:08.460 It's always stressful, you know.
01:40:11.180 But let me help you out on that.
01:40:14.000 Identity thieves.
01:40:15.280 This is the time they love because they can file a bogus return and then pocket your refund.
01:40:21.800 Wouldn't that be great?
01:40:22.340 The IRS recommends electronic filing and using their PIN tool for extra security.
01:40:28.280 And you can check your financial accounts regularly to look for unusual activity.
01:40:31.760 But the truth is, cyber criminals are really smart and they can get around a lot of security measures.
01:40:37.880 Keep in mind, they only have to succeed once.
01:40:42.660 You have to succeed every time they try to get your stuff.
01:40:46.280 That's why LifeLock is so important.
01:40:48.260 They can't catch everything.
01:40:49.280 No one can.
01:40:49.920 But they can monitor things better than you can on your own.
01:40:53.300 And if you do become a victim, their restoration specialists can work with you to help you fix the problem quickly.
01:40:58.980 Nobody can prevent all identity theft, but, man, it's LifeLock by Norton.
01:41:03.480 I think they're the best.

01:41:18.780 10 seconds.
01:41:19.440 Station idea.
01:41:19.900 I felt a little like I do with Tanya's, I felt a little like I do when I used to speak to Tanya's Uncle Leo.
01:41:36.360 I'd get about every fourth word.
01:41:38.180 Right.
01:41:38.720 And then a lot of times you're just like, uh-huh.
01:41:41.260 So I'm not sure I caught everything that he said.
01:41:44.440 You got the vibe, though.
01:41:45.240 Yeah, I got the vibe.
01:41:46.000 I got the vibe.
01:41:46.780 I mean, wouldn't we, I'd like to think that we'd be the same way if we were being invaded by a more powerful outside enemy.
01:41:54.920 I mean, it's our country.
01:41:55.660 Where are we going?
01:41:56.680 This is it.
01:41:57.700 Oh, I think, I mean, I think if Putin were going to take on the United States, they would have to nuke Texas.
01:42:04.420 They would never come into Texas.
01:42:07.160 And I think they wouldn't come into a lot of the western cities and western states.
01:42:11.740 You know, there are a lot of Americans, in the red states especially, that are just not going to give it up.
01:42:19.360 No, no thank you.
01:42:21.300 I'm not sure about, you know, New York City.
01:42:25.120 They might be like, nyet, but then again, you know.
01:42:30.560 But I think Americans, if it's a foreign power, they would be against it.
01:42:37.760 If it is a twist in our own government, I think they accept it.
01:42:45.380 There's going to be a lot of bad outcomes from this battle.
01:42:49.100 However, can we have one good one?
01:42:50.840 Which is, can we finally, finally not hear anymore?
01:42:54.640 What is your gun going to do against the military if they come to town?
01:42:59.600 Isn't that crazy?
01:43:00.140 Can we finally retire that nonsense after this?
01:43:03.300 Yeah, I mean, the first thing the Taliban did was take all of the guns away from the people.
01:43:07.120 The first thing the Ukrainians did were give all guns to every person in Ukraine.
01:43:13.720 It makes a difference.
01:43:14.480 It makes a huge difference.
01:43:15.800 They keep trying to give you this idea that, well, picture yourself.
01:43:19.080 You're in your driveway.
01:43:20.180 Tank pulls up.
01:43:21.460 You've got your handgun.
01:43:22.880 What are you going to do?
01:43:23.640 Well, yeah, in that scenario, that's not reality.
01:43:27.860 Reality is these guys have to get out of the tank.
01:43:30.220 They're coming door to door.
01:43:33.120 It's impossible to overrun a country that's well-armed like the United States.
01:43:36.980 It's basically impossible.
01:43:38.860 It is.
01:43:39.160 If the people decide to fight, it will go on.
01:43:42.200 It will cost so much.
01:43:43.820 You're increasing the cost of what they're trying to do.
01:43:45.740 You know, we got in trouble with George Washington, with the British, because they were like,
01:43:50.080 you're not lining up in a line in fancy red jackets so we can see you and shoot you.
01:43:56.040 We were behind the trees.
01:43:57.920 We learned that from the Native Americans.
01:44:00.180 Yep.
01:44:00.680 And they called us terrorists.
01:44:03.220 Well, that's the way all war is fought right now.
01:44:06.060 We lost the shiny red suits with a target on the chest.
01:44:10.460 Instead, we fight, you know, guerrilla warfare.
01:44:14.760 And that is the one thing that the Ukrainians are doing.
01:44:19.540 They're fighting unconventionally.
01:44:21.720 And if they have to go in, the Russians have to go in door to door, it is a long, protracted,
01:44:29.060 high death count kind of thing for any invading army.
01:44:33.900 If your people are well-armed, gee, it's almost like the Second Amendment makes sense all of a sudden.
01:44:42.460 Beef.
01:44:42.800 All right.
01:44:52.760 Investors are saying now there's a 71% chance they raise overnight lending by 25 basis points.
01:45:00.160 Great.
01:45:01.680 I don't really.
01:45:03.060 What?
01:45:03.940 Look, here's the thing.
01:45:05.680 Your money is going to cost you more to use it.
01:45:10.340 You want to get a you want to get a loan.
01:45:14.080 You want to get any any kind of money credit cards.
01:45:16.860 It's going to cost you more because the Fed is going to raise interest rates.
01:45:21.960 And with everything that is happening in the world, oh, my inflation is going to be bad.
01:45:29.200 Please do everything you can to get out of debt to make sure that you are not in high interest credit cards.
01:45:37.460 Please roll them over in a consolidation loan.

01:46:05.460 I don't know if you have read the lyrics of the Ukrainian national anthem, but I found myself looking them up this weekend.
01:46:26.680 The original line from a poet in 2003 is, Ukraine has not yet died, neither her glory nor her freedom.
01:46:39.160 And they've changed that just a little bit.
01:46:43.180 Ukraine is not yet dead, nor its glory and freedom.
01:46:48.180 Luck will still smile on us, brother Ukrainians.
01:46:51.900 Our enemies will die as dew does in the sunshine, and we too, brothers, we'll live happily in our land.
01:47:02.620 We'll not spare either our souls or our bodies to get freedom, and we will prove that we are brothers, brothers of Kozak kin.
01:47:15.780 That's pretty awesome.
01:47:21.200 Where ours is asking us, hey, does that flag still wave?
01:47:26.920 It talks about the past.
01:47:28.840 Theirs talks about the future.
01:47:30.500 And it starts with, hey, we're not dead yet.
01:47:34.360 That's pretty amazing.
01:47:35.760 I don't think I want to go up against a nation where they're singing their anthem and they're like, hey, we're not dead yet, and we're not going to give up our souls or our bodies for this thing called freedom.
01:47:49.880 I think they probably mean it.
01:47:53.520 They know the price to be paid.
01:47:57.580 They know how precious freedom really is.
01:48:00.640 I'm not sure we do, but they certainly do.
01:48:06.400 They know how many people in their own country have paid the price, have been silenced by force.
01:48:18.120 You know, at the beginning of the program today, I said that I wasn't sure that I understood what was happening in Ukraine and Russia.
01:48:26.340 Something doesn't feel right to me.
01:48:31.120 But I do understand one thing that is happening in the Ukraine, and I think it's happening all around the world.
01:48:39.580 It's clear to me that the flame of freedom is now burning brighter than ever.
01:48:47.540 The flicker of freedom always lives inside each human heart.
01:48:53.020 It was put there by God.
01:48:54.680 He fanned the spark of freedom.
01:48:59.340 In the hearts of the pilgrims, they first stepped off the Mayflower.
01:49:04.460 It was William Bradford that said,
01:49:06.720 Thus, out of small beginnings, greater things have been produced.
01:49:11.640 As one small candle may light a thousand,
01:49:15.480 so the light here kindled hath shone unto many.
01:49:19.580 That candle light that always is so delicate and so close to being blown out
01:49:30.400 was burning when the rebels tossed the tea into the harbor.
01:49:36.740 It was raging as the founders signed the Declaration of Independence
01:49:40.760 and forged across the Delaware, broken and battered.
01:49:44.100 It was burning when brother rose against brother to free slaves.
01:49:50.480 It was alive in the horrors of the trenches of the First World War.
01:49:56.340 It was alive as we stormed the beaches of Normandy.
01:50:03.660 It ignited a march against tyranny
01:50:06.120 and fire hoses in the streets of Birmingham.
01:50:10.760 It gave courage to young women like Rosa Parks.
01:50:15.020 It was there when a lone man stood against the tanks in Tiananmen Square.
01:50:21.060 It was there again this weekend
01:50:23.600 as a lone man stood against the tanks in Ukraine.
01:50:29.460 When truckers opposed tyranny in Canada.
01:50:33.300 It was there and it is ablaze today in the hearts of Ukrainians.
01:50:38.120 We see it as they gather their weapons and stand.
01:50:43.400 We hear it as they sing their national anthem
01:50:45.840 while cleaning the glass in their living room window
01:50:49.080 that had been blown out by a bomb.
01:50:52.160 We admire it as young Ukrainian men flee.
01:50:56.920 Not away from their country,
01:50:59.020 but back to it in the form of safety of their homes abroad.
01:51:03.320 We feel it as thousands of Germans gather in support
01:51:07.180 of Ukraine under the Brandenburg Gate.
01:51:12.840 As Russians are sent to prison
01:51:14.700 because they participated in a revolt
01:51:18.100 against their own leader's aggression.
01:51:21.360 Is that not that flame of freedom bright?
01:51:28.920 The fight against evil is ongoing.
01:51:33.320 It has existed ever since man has been given agency.
01:51:39.500 But the thing that evil does not know
01:51:42.320 is that it never wins in the end.
01:51:47.400 Doesn't matter who wears the mask of darkness.
01:51:51.080 Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Putin, Soros, Klaus Schwab,
01:51:56.460 Biden, Tlaib.
01:51:59.920 Whoever tries to grab your security
01:52:02.880 whoever tries to grab your freedom, Trudeau.
01:52:10.340 We need to just remember one line
01:52:12.480 that we've heard a thousand times
01:52:14.240 and say it out loud.
01:52:15.740 The more you tighten your grip,
01:52:17.940 the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
01:52:22.440 You have to say it with a bad English accent.
01:52:24.660 There was a candle that was lit on this land.
01:52:33.680 And this candle, no matter who rules over it,
01:52:38.120 that candle will not be extinguished.
01:52:41.360 There are too many of us
01:52:42.660 and too many of us around the world.
01:52:45.200 We're seeing them in Hong Kong.
01:52:47.440 We failed and we did nothing.
01:52:54.260 We're seeing them in Ukraine.
01:52:58.400 Personally, when I saw the tank roll over that car
01:53:02.380 and that guy lived,
01:53:04.940 I thought these guys are being protected.
01:53:06.820 These guys might have some divine providence
01:53:10.540 going their way.
01:53:17.600 There is nothing more valuable
01:53:19.760 than the gift of individual freedom.
01:53:23.440 Nothing.
01:53:24.760 Nothing.
01:53:26.280 Not safety.
01:53:28.100 Not food.
01:53:29.140 Not a guarantee for whatever it is you want.
01:53:34.160 Freedom is the ultimate gift.
01:53:38.100 It's divine
01:53:39.180 and it comes to every man and every woman
01:53:42.780 no matter where they were born.
01:53:47.920 That's what we fight for.
01:53:50.800 And that's what we fight against.
01:53:52.520 This weekend I spoke at CPAC
01:53:59.260 and somehow or another
01:54:01.880 I was labeled as a pro-Putin guy.
01:54:05.880 I don't understand that
01:54:08.100 seeing that
01:54:08.940 I have said multiple times
01:54:10.840 Putin is an evil, cold-blooded killer
01:54:14.240 and his death
01:54:17.080 is something to celebrate.
01:54:19.060 don't get involved
01:54:24.120 emotionally
01:54:24.940 in these things.
01:54:27.140 This is
01:54:28.020 way
01:54:28.860 too
01:54:29.440 important.
01:54:31.540 I know it's tough
01:54:33.120 because you see
01:54:34.060 what's happening
01:54:34.680 on social media
01:54:35.720 you see
01:54:37.120 what's happening
01:54:37.720 but
01:54:37.920 don't get swept up
01:54:40.420 in the parade.
01:54:42.880 I don't know
01:54:44.120 what the right thing
01:54:45.240 to do is
01:54:46.140 other than
01:54:46.920 all we can do
01:54:48.520 without committing
01:54:49.960 ourselves
01:54:50.920 to war
01:54:51.860 but I would require
01:54:56.360 if I'm going to commit
01:54:58.140 myself
01:54:58.900 if I'm going to
01:55:00.180 commit
01:55:00.820 that I will do
01:55:02.140 all that I can do
01:55:03.240 the government
01:55:04.720 should stop telling me
01:55:07.160 how much pain
01:55:07.980 is coming my way
01:55:09.340 while canceling
01:55:12.100 oil drilling
01:55:13.340 this weekend
01:55:14.260 here in America
01:55:15.180 while buying oil
01:55:17.300 from Iraq
01:55:18.580 I'm sorry
01:55:19.260 from Iran
01:55:19.980 while buying oil
01:55:21.640 from Russia
01:55:22.440 at a greater clip
01:55:23.860 than we bought it
01:55:24.600 two weeks ago
01:55:25.480 it's in what people
01:55:29.880 do
01:55:30.920 not what they say
01:55:32.640 and right now
01:55:35.120 the only people
01:55:36.080 that I
01:55:36.880 see doing
01:55:39.300 anything
01:55:39.900 are inspirational
01:55:43.880 and they are
01:55:45.380 the people
01:55:45.880 as always
01:55:47.480 the people
01:55:49.160 who are just
01:55:50.280 like you
01:55:51.160 just like your
01:55:53.240 neighbors
01:55:53.640 that actually
01:55:56.160 believe in
01:55:57.060 something
01:55:57.540 those people
01:55:59.540 in Ukraine
01:56:00.100 who didn't
01:56:01.560 have a gun
01:56:02.180 last week
01:56:02.960 but now
01:56:04.420 have a gun
01:56:05.120 and will fight
01:56:07.660 as hard
01:56:08.380 as they possibly
01:56:09.240 can
01:56:09.740 so their
01:56:11.040 children
01:56:11.640 have a chance
01:56:13.940 at making
01:56:15.320 their own
01:56:16.280 choices
01:56:16.940 and further
01:56:19.100 their own
01:56:19.720 life
01:56:20.200 the way
01:56:20.900 they choose
01:56:22.040 not the way
01:56:23.500 the state
01:56:24.340 chooses
01:56:24.860 sponsor this
01:56:27.060 half hour
01:56:27.440 is car shield
01:56:28.260 plenty to be
01:56:29.200 stressed out
01:56:29.860 about recently
01:56:30.640 you know
01:56:31.480 hey
01:56:32.380 how about
01:56:33.320 taking one
01:56:34.380 of the stress
01:56:34.940 points off
01:56:35.620 like
01:56:35.980 the little
01:56:37.400 check engine
01:56:37.900 light
01:56:38.220 you know
01:56:39.060 it's coming
01:56:39.460 on
01:56:39.860 it does
01:56:41.000 and it only
01:56:41.800 comes on
01:56:42.320 at the worst
01:56:42.940 time
01:56:43.320 I've never
01:56:44.060 well
01:56:44.820 I'm not sure
01:56:46.140 anybody would
01:56:46.600 ever say this
01:56:47.220 but I've never
01:56:48.000 been in a position
01:56:48.780 where you just
01:56:49.340 got like a big
01:56:49.960 fat bonus
01:56:50.600 and the
01:56:51.220 check engine
01:56:52.120 light goes on

01:56:54.340 I have the
01:56:55.460 money
01:56:55.620 it doesn't
01:56:56.020 happen that
01:56:56.400 way
01:56:56.600 and even
01:56:57.080 if it did
01:56:57.600 you wouldn't
01:56:58.100 want to spend
01:56:58.580 the money
01:56:58.860 because your
01:56:59.240 car is supposed
01:56:59.860 to work
01:57:00.560 but soon as
01:57:02.240 the warranty
01:57:02.700 goes out
01:57:03.400 that's when
01:57:03.940 the check
01:57:04.280 engine light

01:57:05.680 on

01:57:40.040 well there's a
01:57:56.720 new development
01:57:57.380 the president
01:57:58.460 of the European
01:57:59.240 Commission
01:58:00.040 has now
01:58:01.280 said the
01:58:01.680 European Union
01:58:02.420 is closing
01:58:03.180 its airspace
01:58:04.220 to Russian
01:58:05.000 aircraft
01:58:05.840 they just
01:58:07.540 held a
01:58:08.000 press conference
01:58:08.800 we are
01:58:09.500 shutting down
01:58:10.140 the EU
01:58:10.620 airspace
01:58:11.180 for Russians
01:58:12.000 prohibition
01:58:13.540 on all
01:58:14.240 Russian-owned
01:58:15.140 Russian-registered
01:58:16.360 or Russian-controlled
01:58:17.580 aircraft
01:58:18.420 these aircraft
01:58:19.460 will no longer
01:58:20.800 be able to
01:58:21.400 land in
01:58:22.140 take off
01:58:22.820 or overfly
01:58:23.840 the territory
01:58:24.600 of the EU
01:58:26.160 our airspace
01:58:27.720 will be closed
01:58:28.620 to every
01:58:29.180 Russian plane
01:58:29.960 and that
01:58:30.420 includes private
01:58:31.240 jets of
01:58:31.820 oligarchs
01:58:32.580 as well
01:58:33.240 holy cow
01:58:36.380 holy cow
01:58:37.880 now we
01:58:39.800 can't fly
01:58:40.400 over their
01:58:40.900 airspace
01:58:41.440 I'm sure
01:58:42.100 which they
01:58:44.280 have a
01:58:45.540 lot of
01:58:46.680 airspace
01:58:47.420 I don't know
01:58:48.220 if you noticed
01:58:48.660 that but this
01:58:49.380 could also
01:58:50.280 hurt on the
01:58:51.560 global supply
01:58:52.340 chain and
01:58:52.940 moving things
01:58:53.840 from place
01:58:54.620 to place
01:58:55.200 if you're
01:58:56.160 avoiding all
01:58:57.140 Russian airspace
01:58:58.080 if this thing
01:58:58.580 drags on for
01:58:59.200 them and
01:58:59.660 they're feeling
01:59:00.740 the economic
01:59:01.660 catastrophe that
01:59:03.200 they're feeling
01:59:03.680 right now
01:59:04.180 and it goes
01:59:05.480 on for a
01:59:06.040 long time
01:59:06.640 there's a
01:59:08.600 good chance
01:59:09.340 that factions
01:59:10.340 inside that
01:59:11.040 country rise
01:59:11.640 up against
01:59:12.140 oh I think
01:59:13.260 can you imagine
01:59:14.180 you went to
01:59:15.760 bed Friday
01:59:16.700 and your
01:59:18.060 dollar was
01:59:19.620 you know
01:59:20.160 worth what it
01:59:21.220 is today
01:59:21.840 and then
01:59:23.080 you get
01:59:23.880 up today
01:59:25.200 and it's
01:59:26.400 worth 20
01:59:27.100 cents
01:59:27.520 right
01:59:28.080 that that's
01:59:29.040 what happened
01:59:29.620 to the
01:59:30.140 ruble today
01:59:30.920 it's probably
01:59:31.520 going to get
01:59:31.840 worse
01:59:32.180 yeah
01:59:32.900 and they're
01:59:33.700 saying that
01:59:34.040 it may
01:59:34.580 completely
01:59:35.500 collapse
01:59:36.200 and like
01:59:37.480 you know
01:59:37.820 Russia is
01:59:38.480 not I
01:59:39.040 don't know
01:59:39.380 it's not
01:59:40.340 I don't
01:59:41.780 know the
01:59:42.100 Taliban
01:59:42.560 right like
01:59:43.460 this is a
01:59:44.140 this there
01:59:44.700 you know
01:59:45.220 there's Gucci
01:59:45.820 stores littering
01:59:47.300 the streets
01:59:47.820 of Moscow
01:59:48.340 like there are
01:59:49.420 a lot of
01:59:50.080 people who are
01:59:50.680 used to what
01:59:51.180 really nice
01:59:51.920 western life
01:59:52.760 living in
01:59:54.360 Russia
01:59:54.760 they're used
01:59:55.800 and they come
01:59:56.380 here all the
01:59:57.020 time which is a
01:59:57.800 whole other
01:59:58.140 situation but
01:59:59.620 like a lot of
02:00:00.760 money a lot of
02:00:01.820 expensive things
02:00:02.780 people don't want
02:00:03.960 to be
02:00:04.600 especially for
02:00:06.140 this they don't
02:00:06.880 see this as
02:00:07.500 like the war
02:00:08.780 you know the
02:00:09.880 cold war even
02:00:10.700 they see this
02:00:11.300 as like
02:00:12.000 well why are
02:00:13.220 we doing this
02:00:14.100 exactly
02:00:14.640 imagine if we
02:00:16.240 our government
02:00:16.920 just said you
02:00:17.780 know what we're
02:00:18.280 taking Mexico
02:00:19.100 yeah we're
02:00:19.600 going for it
02:00:20.160 we're going
02:00:20.560 for Mexico
02:00:21.140 you know
02:00:21.860 and all of
02:00:23.100 us in the
02:00:23.480 country would
02:00:23.860 be like wait
02:00:24.360 wait we're
02:00:25.000 what
02:00:25.460 well Mexico
02:00:26.760 has been
02:00:27.660 a genocide
02:00:28.400 yeah
02:00:28.940 it was a
02:00:29.240 genocide of
02:00:29.700 some English
02:00:30.060 speaking people
02:00:30.720 in Mexico
02:00:31.180 and we'd be
02:00:31.640 like wait
02:00:32.100 do you have
02:00:32.720 any evidence
02:00:33.340 sorry we're
02:00:34.040 already in
02:00:34.520 and then we're
02:00:36.400 dealing with
02:00:36.960 our an 80%
02:00:38.420 drop in our
02:00:39.360 economy in our
02:00:40.280 dollar
02:00:40.700 no one will do
02:00:42.480 business with us
02:00:43.080 we can't go on
02:00:43.700 vacations we can't
02:00:44.880 I mean god Joey
02:00:45.480 Behar wouldn't be
02:00:46.120 able to get to
02:00:46.540 Italy think of all
02:00:47.580 the terrible things
02:00:48.420 that could come
02:00:49.020 from this but
02:00:50.560 it would affect
02:00:51.280 so many people
02:00:52.160 we certainly
02:00:53.560 wouldn't be like
02:00:54.080 you know I
02:00:55.140 just trust Biden
02:00:56.160 on the genocide
02:00:56.780 thing I mean it
02:00:57.600 probably is happening
02:00:58.420 in Mexico that is
02:00:59.240 not how we'd react
02:01:00.160 to it now look
02:01:01.140 they have control
02:01:01.800 over the media it's
02:01:02.520 different but
02:01:03.100 especially if well
02:01:04.700 don't they hear too
02:01:05.860 at some level I mean
02:01:06.900 we get the information
02:01:08.060 I think even though
02:01:08.860 it's we get we have
02:01:09.660 a lot of but if
02:01:10.540 they were shutting
02:01:11.440 down people like
02:01:12.440 they're shutting
02:01:12.920 down in Russia I
02:01:14.420 mean you're going
02:01:15.620 out those people
02:01:16.460 are so brave
02:01:18.120 so brave
02:01:19.360 incredible
02:01:19.700 you're going
02:01:20.500 out in
02:01:21.780 Russia in
02:01:22.520 Moscow to
02:01:24.420 to protest
02:01:26.500 against Putin
02:01:27.700 he's a killer
02:01:29.100 I was watching
02:01:30.060 CNN when this
02:01:30.960 was all first
02:01:31.440 happening and
02:01:31.820 they're in like
02:01:32.180 this someone
02:01:32.860 some square and
02:01:33.940 like St.
02:01:34.380 Peter's yeah
02:01:34.880 yeah and they're
02:01:35.860 just there's
02:01:36.740 protesters out there
02:01:37.520 walking behind the
02:01:38.200 reporter and they're
02:01:38.860 just taking him and
02:01:39.680 just throwing in the
02:01:40.540 vans right I saw
02:01:41.340 the same thing I saw
02:01:42.420 the same thing and
02:01:42.980 it was like the
02:01:43.460 reporter yeah and it
02:01:44.240 was like when he
02:01:44.860 finished it was like
02:01:45.620 25 people have been
02:01:47.220 you know just picked
02:01:47.960 up in the last since I
02:01:48.960 started talking you're
02:01:49.840 like this is a problem
02:01:51.420 yeah and then that van
02:01:52.340 pulls away another van
02:01:53.140 another van they start
02:01:53.980 loading people in yeah I
02:01:55.420 mean imagine having that
02:01:56.400 courage it's it's good to
02:01:57.800 see that there are those
02:01:58.500 people and I and you
02:01:59.720 have to remember there
02:02:00.520 are those factions those
02:02:02.040 anti-Putin factions who
02:02:03.720 have been crushed by
02:02:04.720 Putin's strong arm
02:02:05.800 tactics but if the people
02:02:07.700 if the if if they start
02:02:09.220 feeling this sort of pain
02:02:10.660 those structures around him
02:02:12.280 that have protected Putin
02:02:13.520 at the top of that
02:02:14.460 government can start
02:02:15.260 collapsing pretty quickly
02:02:16.360 and there's a lot of
02:02:17.480 billionaires over there who
02:02:18.620 want their stuff and they
02:02:20.120 they don't think about
02:02:21.540 this the same way
02:02:22.480 Vladimir Putin does
02:02:23.600 they're not all former
02:02:25.260 KGB agents and that
02:02:27.560 structure around him
02:02:28.500 could wind up collapsing
02:02:29.940 if this can drag on and
02:02:31.480 the and the pain is real
02:02:32.480 in their economy it's
02:02:33.860 possible it oh it very
02:02:36.320 possible I'm trying to be
02:02:37.800 optimistic here yeah no
02:02:39.260 it's you know what it is
02:02:40.840 possible Stu probably not
02:02:42.200 going to happen probably
02:02:43.380 not going to happen but
02:02:44.540 very possible I would
02:02:47.960 pray like you haven't
02:02:49.460 prayed before pray for
02:02:50.800 your nation pray for the
02:02:53.120 sanity of leaders and
02:02:54.840 those leaders who are not
02:02:56.240 sane that maybe they die
02:02:59.100 soon Putin if he's if
02:03:03.180 he's clear-headed holy cow
02:03:04.920 are we in trouble if he's
02:03:06.400 insane hopefully he dies
02:03:09.020 soon because there is no
02:03:11.640 dealing with a madman and
02:03:13.860 I don't think he is I think
02:03:16.000 he's got a different goal
02:03:17.460 this is the Glenn back
02:03:21.760 program
02:03:22.300 you
