00:03:49.340 welcome to the program really glad you're here um i just want to report a couple of things that have
00:03:55.640 happened uh while i was away uh and i think this says everything we need to know uh you know one of
00:04:02.580 the stories that i i really enjoyed uh was to see the fbi and their detective work uh when they
00:04:09.820 confiscated the scale model the lego scale model i thought to myself man we're protected
00:04:19.120 we are safe uh i mean if they've got a scale model a lego scale model well i find out today
00:04:28.280 it's even better
00:04:29.740 fbi wanted to clarify it was uh it is a scale model uh but it was still in the box
00:04:38.800 um so when you have that kind of evidence i mean look out also today newly disclosed criminal case
00:04:49.200 against uh a man named fee jong super white supremacy sounding isn't it um they have um they
00:04:59.640 have infiltrated fees uh may i call him fee or should i call him duong i'm not sure uh anyway
00:05:08.700 uh he was interacting with undercover law enforcement officers uh several times on january 6th and into
00:05:16.660 recent months the fbi ultimately gained access to his group fee had a group i don't know how many
00:05:24.700 people were in the group the fong group the uh diong group the diong group diong group might be just
00:05:31.380 dong fee dong i'm not sure diong d-u-o-n-g it's probably racist well it is racist
00:05:38.700 for me but not to know how to pronounce it uh but stand in line when you're complaining about
00:05:44.040 beck can't get your name right uh so anyway they've arrested him uh for pursuing bomb building
00:05:51.480 fee white supremacist uh and apparently a pretty dangerous group of people
00:05:59.980 one arrest has been made so i feel better now listen um there have been some really disturbing
00:06:07.100 things that i don't think the media has given you uh an accurate view on uh mainly because
00:06:14.140 they talk about and then just move on they're like oh this was great that was great there's a new bill
00:06:19.060 out congress is doing something all right there's and you know what they're putting the government in
00:06:24.620 charge of your credit score i heard that i thought wait a minute what that doesn't sound good
00:06:31.720 good credit is a gateway to wealth says the financial service chair maxine waters yet for far too long our
00:06:41.340 credit reporting system has kept people of color and low-income persons from access to capital to start
00:06:47.600 small businesses access to mortgage loans and become homeowners and access to credit to meet financial
00:06:54.800 emergencies okay hang on just a second people of color i hope that's not true and if it is that
00:07:01.540 needs to be you know covered and i thought we had all of these rules in place so you couldn't
00:07:07.540 discriminate i mean can you show me some evidence where people of color have been held back from
00:07:13.620 getting loans for mortgages or anything else just because of color please show me that because we
00:07:21.860 should clean that up i don't believe that's happening but maybe it is maybe it is i would
00:07:27.400 think that we had gotten past that point um and then low-income persons from having access to capital
00:07:34.540 to smart start a small business yeah i mean that was me at one point i remember being very very
00:07:40.940 frustrated when i was uh when i was young that uh i couldn't get credit well how i remember saying to
00:07:47.660 the bank loan officer how am i supposed to get credit if you won't give me credit that happens
00:07:52.540 to everybody when you have low income what this sounds like is what led to the financial collapse
00:07:59.240 of 2008 where they told the banks you have to give loans to these people so it's but it's really not
00:08:06.980 even about that it's not even about this is again congress doing what they did in the early 2000s
00:08:12.660 that caused the collapse what this is about is protecting your credit score
00:08:18.780 that's protecting your credit score act of 2021 and it's a comprehensive credit act and it reforms our
00:08:29.420 credit reporting system and it makes the government uh in charge they're going to replace the
00:08:38.280 the three-tiered uh credit bureau system with a public credit registry that way and it's going to be run
00:08:46.260 through the consumer financial protection bureau which is elizabeth warren's little bureau isn't that
00:08:52.040 great so that you can trust it now what happens when the government has your credit score and the
00:09:02.200 government is the only one that you can go to if you have a problem first of all anybody who's ever
00:09:09.820 had a problem with their credit score and it was an error yeah imagine the fun it'll be when you're
00:09:15.820 dealing with the federal government oh it was fun to try to turn it around outside the federal government
00:09:19.520 and i can tell you this reminds me of attempting when we moved to texas to remove myself from the auto
00:09:26.900 renew of the toll service in new jersey because you could you know they charge you every month and
00:09:35.180 if you go through the tolls enough it refreshes well what they came up with was a system in which
00:09:40.280 they would deduct if you didn't use any tolls at all they just had a arbitrary they would charge you
00:09:45.060 one dollar a month for holding on to this thing so one dollar a month would come off of my balance
00:09:50.580 every month and then eventually it would get to zero and they would recharge me even though i was
00:09:54.640 living in texas and i spent wow countless hours on the phone on on the line online trying to get
00:10:02.380 them to reverse well it's not going to be like that i eventually had to send them legitimately a fax
00:10:07.900 a fax a fax and still after the fax happened and they turned it off two years later they just turned
00:10:16.900 it on one day and started charging me again so every single month again i had to go through the whole
00:10:22.920 process again now kids a quick lesson what did we learn from stew he is part of the rich elite yeah
00:10:29.300 there you go okay and evidence he had access to a fax machine as we have learned recently from our vice
00:10:38.800 president people don't people in rural areas they don't have fancy things like fax machines they don't
00:10:46.920 have mimeograph machines you know what i'm saying uh they can't copy anything i don't know if you know
00:10:54.300 this i mean you're listening to me most likely you're living in the middle of the country uh and
00:11:00.740 or your at least your heart resides there where there are no copy machines here's the here's the vice
00:11:07.040 president is agreeing to voter id one of those compromises that you'd support i don't think that we
00:11:13.620 should underestimate what that could mean what could that mean because in some people's mind
00:11:22.120 that means well you're gonna have to um xerox or or or photocopy your id to send it in to prove you
00:11:31.460 are who you are well there are a whole lot of people especially people who live in rural communities
00:11:35.420 who don't there's no kinkos there's no office max near them right people have to understand that when
00:11:41.040 we're talking about voter id laws yeah be clear about who you have in mind and what would be
00:11:47.180 required of them to prove who they are okay god forbid we get to a xerox machine notice she cleared
00:11:53.940 that up she didn't use xerox because xerox is so outdated you can buy a xerox machine for like a dollar
00:12:01.660 xerox they don't even have mimeographs no yeah out here in the rules what we do is uh i'll just put
00:12:10.460 my hands up like i got a camera and i like like click click and then i said june i got a copy of it
00:12:17.140 i'm gonna have it developed but we don't have film or cameras or anything like that yeah you know most
00:12:23.640 people don't have film or cameras or could you sorry please my bad my bad could you i mean there are
00:12:31.700 things that you can you can you know use today that people in the middle of the country have
00:12:37.740 that would ah all right i got so irritating it's my fault my fault sorry that you don't have to have
00:12:45.160 a camera or film or a xerox machine i'm uh it must be important i should probably just take it can you

00:14:05.080 it constantly it's not like hey once in a while i'm gonna splurge no not like big bowls of ice cream
00:14:11.400 for breakfast right you know what i mean that's what it takes so i know a little bit about something
00:14:16.440 a little a little uh something about building bodies and uh that's why i want to talk to you
00:14:20.900 about built bar if you want to build your body right don't do what i do uh i eat built bars but i eat
00:14:29.800 far too many of them so if you eat like 12 13 up at a serving it's not necessarily the way yes

00:15:18.700 man we have so many important things to talk to you about today um
00:15:34.860 but i i just have to go over a few things too since the world has changed since i have
00:15:41.520 since i've been here really yeah i was on vacation for 10 whole days are you kidding me
00:15:48.080 world moves fast today i'm just checking the list here on things that have now become racist
00:15:57.460 uh in the last 10 days since i was here last uh remind me don't use the word exotic
00:16:05.100 like exotic food can't use that anymore exotic is racist exotic is racist exotic so like uh
00:16:13.960 yeah i wonder let's have some exotic food you're like take off the clan mask why don't you
00:16:20.340 uh okay i didn't i was unaware of this really yeah washington post uh in the food section last
00:16:28.600 week uh banned the word exotic said it's uh rooted in white dominance and colonialism so don't say it
00:16:34.980 anymore it's interesting because exotic is a pc term when it comes to dancing it's taking it's
00:16:42.060 actually the softer version that's erotic okay is it i think exotic dancing is the nice way to say
00:16:50.300 that maybe you're doing something something else okay all right and and now that's banned
00:16:57.240 so now where do you go with that well i don't know but exotic will take you right according to
00:17:02.020 the washington post to xenophobia and racism it's a slippery slope in fact it's not it's a direct path
00:17:08.720 it is the doorway to xenophobia is that the whole point of the food section though like you're trying
00:17:14.600 to you're trying to introduce people who might eat grilled cheese every day for meals into more
00:17:21.500 well here's what i've started adventurous foods i've started to say that eggplant is exotic uh that
00:17:27.700 way i don't have to eat it anymore can't order that can or celery exotic can't eat it anymore all
00:17:35.500 salad ingredients it's weird it's really weird now there's another thing since i've been on
00:17:41.380 vacation remember the world moves fast i've been gone for 10 days you would expect several items to
00:17:47.140 be listed to the racist category geology is also apparently racist now uh the study of rocks racist say
00:17:57.400 it with me racist yeah geology is racist come on drill it into your head man
00:18:04.360 a group of top geologists uh have published a manifesto in a scientific journal called nature
00:18:11.360 communications i read that i'm a scientist i'm a doctor of course i read that and it's really good
00:18:18.080 except for this article but i gotta believe it because it's it's science man they claim black
00:18:23.620 people are hesitant to become geologists because they fear being gunned down while using basic
00:18:30.200 geological tools like hammers
00:18:34.460 wait what they go on to say it's because of the stereotype associated with black people
00:18:43.480 holding objects i don't even understand what that means holding objects that's a very broad stereotype
00:18:51.300 when i say when i say black person what is he holding in his hands immediately what comes to mind
00:18:57.360 what is he holding in his hands a small rock hammer that's exactly right yeah and they're
00:19:03.400 going to be gunned down in those geological enclaves that they all work in how often do you get in one
00:19:12.260 of those geological areas of town yeah i know it's like exactly yeah that's when you're black don't go
00:19:19.280 into those sections of town definitely bad uh holding object i'm quoting holding objects uh like a rock
00:19:25.600 hammer has been viewed as suspicious and has been used as a reason to call the police on black people
00:19:34.180 what uh 9-1-1 listen uh there's a black there's a black person they're holding a geological hammer
00:19:45.820 out in front of my house and uh i don't know what i don't know what he's planning on doing it uh
00:19:51.460 breaking rocks or just killing people probably killing people can you can you i don't even know
00:19:56.080 what a geological hammer looks like uh and this this can lead to the i'm still quoting lead to the death
00:20:03.760 of black individuals entirely because of racial profiling and an unjustified fear of black people
00:20:10.700 with hammers that's a phobia i had not heard before that's what i didn't know yeah uh and the
00:20:19.440 lack of geologists uh who are black shows the bigoted roots of geology 9-1-1 i've got an african-american
00:20:26.220 with some black opal outside my house right now god forbid god forbid they say they're studying any
00:20:33.060 kind of exotic rocks oh we'll know what's um we'll know what's going on there uh and then of course
00:20:40.060 over smiling is uh is now you know this right oh oh this is from robin d'angelo ah what were you
00:20:48.620 covering nice racism yes yes not that i was not covering the contents of nice racism okay well which
00:20:54.960 is bombed uh it is over smiling that white people do white niceness in the face of racism is a form of
00:21:01.840 plantation relationships uh so you know if you're if you're smiling it doesn't mean that anti-blackness
00:21:09.140 isn't simmering just below the surface and there was there was uh one added last night from insect
00:21:18.000 experts insect experts now say they are concerned that the gypsy moth is offensive to certain people
00:21:31.400 i don't know who those certain people are probably black people with hammers i don't know who those
00:21:36.900 certain people are but uh those certain people might be offended by the gypsy moth and i don't know how
00:21:45.760 many times i've said it if i've said it once i've said it once we've got to rename the gypsy moth
00:21:52.080 and get rid of black people with hammers
00:21:55.740 oh see what you miss in a week in a week the world can change i mean is it possible we can get
00:22:11.800 the black people with hammers to just crush the gypsy moths maybe we get a vote with a little bigger
00:22:16.800 hammer i would be fine with that it's a win-win it's a win-win
00:22:22.340 this is the glenn back program you know i love a good movie love to watch it with the family

00:27:03.480 president spoke last night we'll cover that here coming up in just a minute also uh our uh our good
00:27:09.860 friend jason whitlock is going to be joining us uh from his studio in just a uh just a few minutes i
00:27:15.340 think he has a few things uh to say as well uh what we all need to do today is go on to twitter or
00:27:23.600 facebook or whatever service you have and uh hashtag cuba freedom cuba freedom uh this is the best
00:27:38.240 story coming out of cuba i think in a very long time and because america joe biden's like dirt you know
00:27:47.640 what they're they're they're protesting because of covid virus that's not what they're doing is
00:27:52.000 they're protesting against no they're not listen to what they're shouting in the streets listen to
00:27:56.980 i don't understand they check another crowd what are they saying
00:28:04.380 okay what is this one
00:28:12.440 i still can't quite make it out there
00:28:16.720 i think they're saying maybe a leotard leotard is that what they're saying leotard
00:28:25.660 uh i don't know why they're they're chanting it's not lee it's not leotard oh it's spanish for
00:28:35.400 freedom huh well who would have guessed that so these our government is describing them as
00:28:44.920 anti-government no i don't think they are uh you know who's anti-government uh antifa they're
00:28:51.000 anti-government they want to abolish all government okay they're anti-government uh i think the people
00:28:58.020 in cuba are anti-communist fascistic totalitarian government i think that's the difference they're
00:29:06.040 not saying give me liberty with no government no they're not saying that they're saying hey
00:29:10.840 government's out of control how about we get rid of the dictators that's what they're saying
00:29:16.820 no more communism hey the socialized healthcare system not really working out for us i think that's
00:29:24.840 what they're saying and america's voice should be very clear to the cuban people we support you
00:29:36.680 we are fighting what you fought for the last few decades we are fighting the beginnings of it here

00:31:06.760 she was from poland
00:31:08.540 she said the same thing that everyone from behind the iron curtain or every cuban
00:31:15.540 or every venezuelan has said to me in the last 15 years
00:31:20.900 what's wrong with america
00:31:23.300 we came here for freedom

00:31:38.000 our government officials
00:31:40.500 uh are meeting
00:31:42.860 with nicolas maduro
00:31:46.520 top officials of the democratic socialists of america
00:31:50.880 met with venezuelan president nicolas maduro
00:31:54.040 on friday
00:31:55.080 the uh the chairperson of the national political committee of the dsa
00:32:00.420 now see you know what's weird is the dsa was like no we want sweden
00:32:05.180 then why aren't they over in sweden
00:32:07.220 talking to the prime minister of sweden who's like by the way we're not a socialist country
00:32:12.520 i just want you to know that
00:32:13.600 they say they wanted sweden
00:32:15.440 they don't want what's happening in venezuela
00:32:18.020 why then are you talking
00:32:20.620 to the dictator of venezuela
00:32:23.960 why are you doing that
00:32:26.120 if that's not what you want
00:32:27.820 by the way
00:32:32.900 the dsa
00:32:33.780 tweeted out
00:32:34.680 broad support for movements
00:32:36.260 for democracy and socialism
00:32:38.020 in venezuela
00:32:39.140 uh-huh
00:32:40.640 so does that mean
00:32:41.640 were they going to maduro to say
00:32:43.780 hey by the way
00:32:44.560 we're against you
00:32:45.760 we're for the support of
00:32:48.260 democracy
00:32:49.100 and letting the people's voice
00:32:50.820 actually be heard
00:32:52.000 and not squashed
00:32:52.920 i'm not sure
00:32:53.840 what they were
00:32:55.240 uh doing there
00:32:56.340 by the way
00:32:57.180 um
00:32:57.760 the cuban president
00:32:59.040 urges the country's
00:33:00.180 revolutionary citizens
00:33:01.380 to counter
00:33:02.240 the protesters
00:33:03.900 which is uh
00:33:06.460 it's always going to lead to something
00:33:07.780 very very
00:33:08.740 very very uh
00:33:12.060 good
00:33:12.620 very good
00:33:13.560 to have the revolutionaries
00:33:15.220 join in
00:33:15.960 and counter
00:33:16.620 the protesters
00:33:17.280 in the street
00:33:17.920 he's calling for chaos
00:33:19.580 i told you back in 2008
00:33:22.240 chaos is going to be
00:33:23.280 the key word
00:33:24.160 of uh
00:33:25.580 of the future
00:33:26.880 and it is
00:33:27.880 chaos
00:33:28.600 if you
00:33:29.480 see anything
00:33:31.100 that is chaotic
00:33:32.500 you see anybody's plan
00:33:34.480 that
00:33:34.880 that
00:33:35.600 encourages
00:33:36.940 more chaos
00:33:38.260 stay away from it
00:33:40.180 stay away from it
00:33:41.520 market
00:33:42.240 poison
00:33:43.220 you know there's
00:33:46.080 there's a movement
00:33:46.940 going on now
00:33:47.940 that i don't think
00:33:48.820 anybody is reporting on
00:33:50.160 and that movement
00:33:51.680 is
00:33:52.220 all of these people
00:33:53.460 who used to think
00:33:55.180 that they were
00:33:56.520 liberals
00:33:57.340 and they were on the side
00:33:59.200 of the liberal left
00:34:00.340 they haven't come over
00:34:01.920 to the donald trump side
00:34:03.260 some actually have
00:34:04.600 but a lot of people
00:34:07.920 are moving
00:34:08.560 and saying
00:34:09.400 i don't want to be
00:34:10.360 a part of that
00:34:11.140 they're looking
00:34:12.380 for something
00:34:13.280 they don't think
00:34:15.300 that it's the
00:34:16.200 conservative movement
00:34:17.420 because the conservative
00:34:18.680 movement
00:34:19.280 isn't
00:34:20.180 isn't speaking
00:34:21.060 clearly
00:34:21.760 what we are
00:34:22.680 here's what we are
00:34:24.760 we believe
00:34:26.660 that all men
00:34:28.640 black
00:34:29.320 white
00:34:29.820 yellow
00:34:30.720 brown
00:34:31.800 purple
00:34:32.660 male
00:34:33.960 female
00:34:34.680 homosexual
00:34:35.780 straight
00:34:36.980 whatever your
00:34:38.720 choice is
00:34:39.740 all people
00:34:41.700 are created
00:34:42.840 and they are
00:34:45.400 given by that
00:34:46.620 creator
00:34:47.140 rights
00:34:48.160 i don't tell you
00:34:49.820 what those rights
00:34:50.600 are
00:34:50.980 government doesn't
00:34:52.640 tell you what those
00:34:53.240 rights are
00:34:53.680 government doesn't
00:34:54.580 define the rights
00:34:55.560 or publish new
00:34:56.560 rights
00:34:56.940 all of your rights
00:34:58.540 come from something
00:34:59.720 so far above
00:35:00.600 that no man
00:35:01.920 can touch
00:35:02.800 or alter
00:35:03.480 them
00:35:03.840 i like to call
00:35:05.060 them inalienable
00:35:05.820 rights
00:35:06.220 so when you see
00:35:09.720 oppression
00:35:10.300 you're not
00:35:12.060 anti-government
00:35:13.040 you're anti-authoritarianism
00:35:16.420 because governments
00:35:18.180 are instituted
00:35:19.260 among men
00:35:20.060 to protect
00:35:22.180 the rights
00:35:23.160 of every
00:35:24.220 individual
00:35:24.820 and the one way
00:35:26.960 you cannot protect
00:35:28.060 rights
00:35:28.580 is take it
00:35:29.520 from some
00:35:30.520 individuals
00:35:31.260 and not
00:35:32.320 others
00:35:32.800 you can't have
00:35:34.820 special categories
00:35:36.000 special rights
00:35:37.200 special privileges
00:35:38.400 that's somebody
00:35:40.320 taking the rights
00:35:41.820 that come from
00:35:42.660 way beyond
00:35:43.560 them
00:35:44.060 and
00:35:45.860 they're trying
00:35:46.920 to curtail
00:35:47.920 they're trying
00:35:49.020 to
00:35:49.580 rewrite
00:35:50.960 that's not
00:35:52.640 their job
00:35:53.160 i can't
00:35:54.240 rewrite
00:35:54.740 your right
00:35:55.860 to free speech
00:35:56.760 i can't
00:35:57.260 do it
00:35:57.640 i have
00:35:58.940 no power
00:35:59.740 no right
00:36:00.380 given to me
00:36:00.980 has
00:36:01.340 it gives
00:36:02.020 me power
00:36:02.580 to control
00:36:03.220 your life
00:36:03.880 so then
00:36:04.760 how could
00:36:05.340 i create
00:36:06.660 a government
00:36:07.300 that does
00:36:08.880 that
00:36:09.260 answer
00:36:10.600 i can't
00:36:11.640 the government
00:36:13.620 is out of
00:36:14.540 control
00:36:15.120 i can't
00:36:16.680 give my
00:36:17.400 right
00:36:17.840 to the
00:36:18.980 government
00:36:19.420 to go
00:36:20.900 take stuff
00:36:21.520 from one
00:36:22.080 group of
00:36:22.460 people
00:36:22.720 and not
00:36:23.120 another
00:36:23.460 to take
00:36:24.840 rights
00:36:25.320 from one
00:36:25.880 group to
00:36:26.280 another
00:36:26.480 i can't
00:36:27.300 do it
00:36:27.560 because i
00:36:28.060 don't have
00:36:28.740 that right
00:36:29.180 so i can't
00:36:29.660 give it to
00:36:29.940 the government
00:36:30.340 so who's
00:36:31.620 producing rights
00:36:32.620 always the
00:36:34.580 government
00:36:35.040 always the
00:36:37.260 government
00:36:37.600 is limiting
00:36:39.000 rights for
00:36:39.800 you
00:36:40.300 and printing
00:36:42.000 rights
00:36:42.580 for them
00:36:43.560 this is what's
00:36:46.140 happened
00:36:46.520 throughout the
00:36:47.660 history of
00:36:48.200 man
00:36:48.480 and it is
00:36:50.260 the fight
00:36:50.840 against that
00:36:51.740 and it is
00:36:52.300 an ebb and
00:36:52.840 flow
00:36:53.160 sometimes we're
00:36:53.940 good
00:36:54.300 sometimes we're
00:36:55.480 bad
00:36:55.960 because people
00:36:57.600 sometimes they're
00:36:58.420 good sometimes
00:36:59.060 they're bad
00:36:59.660 sometimes they're
00:37:00.420 confused
00:37:01.160 sometimes you
00:37:02.660 don't even know
00:37:03.280 what's right
00:37:03.780 and wrong
00:37:04.260 how many people
00:37:06.980 are like that
00:37:07.460 now
00:37:07.780 that's why you
00:37:10.160 have to be
00:37:10.540 very clear
00:37:11.640 on who you
00:37:12.380 are
00:37:12.720 i stand
00:37:14.920 with you
00:37:15.580 if you
00:37:16.280 stand with
00:37:17.240 the bill
00:37:17.600 of rights
00:37:18.160 for all
00:37:19.180 men
00:37:19.400 even those
00:37:20.640 that you
00:37:21.100 really don't
00:37:22.280 like
00:37:22.800 you stand
00:37:24.960 for those
00:37:25.520 rights
00:37:26.020 i've got
00:37:27.720 your back
00:37:28.240 i have
00:37:29.200 your side
00:37:29.800 i'll even
00:37:31.100 take a few
00:37:31.640 bullets for

00:37:32.460 that's what
00:37:35.820 we stand
00:37:36.280 for
00:37:36.620 that's what
00:37:38.120 america is
00:37:39.060 and that is
00:37:40.760 exactly what
00:37:41.380 the cuban

00:47:42.080 to stop I mean this they're making
00:47:45.500 themselves look crazy and I blame Joe Biden
00:47:53.620 and for them creating this narrative that
00:47:57.120 there are all these idiot helpless people
00:48:00.360 in America who who just can't do basic
00:48:04.280 functions that a city slickers or it's
00:48:08.020 very sophisticated it's like it is like
00:48:12.660 though them saying you know what they
00:48:15.140 can't they can't have beef out in the
00:48:17.640 middle of the country they can't they

00:48:47.080 coast New York Silicon Valley California
00:48:51.860 they live on the coast and they do have
00:48:55.420 an opinion of fly over America and the
00:48:59.260 rest of America that we're all idiots and
00:49:03.380 and could you just this could you set them
00:49:06.760 straight Jason I've dealt with it my
00:49:10.080 entire career though Glenn because I am a
00:49:12.580 good old Midwest boy and I've been
00:49:16.840 underestimated and just you know he's a
00:49:20.080 ball state guy and and you know he
00:49:23.160 didn't have a high GPA no one invited him
00:49:25.740 to an Ivy League school and and they just
00:49:29.180 make some assumptions about me and and
00:49:32.860 what's comical is just like as I've
00:49:35.460 gotten older and dealt with more people
00:49:38.060 from the elite institutions I have I keep
00:49:43.760 losing more and more respect for them
00:49:45.840 that common sense is just not taught at
00:49:50.720 the elite universities and a lack of
00:49:55.400 common sense undermines all the book sense
00:49:59.720 that they believe they had and all the
00:50:01.520 programming they see received from these
00:50:04.520 elite institutions and from living on the
00:50:06.640 coast I just I wish I could take my dad
00:50:11.720 didn't graduate from high school one of
00:50:14.040 the smartest people I know and I say that
00:50:17.000 in all seriousness one of the smartest
00:50:19.260 people I know just filled my mother is no
00:50:22.820 rocket scientist filled with common sense
00:50:26.300 that has served her and served me and my
00:50:29.740 brother and and family just incredibly well
00:50:33.700 at some point America's gonna have to
00:50:37.720 return to common sense if we want to
00:50:39.980 survive that this whole theoretical world
00:50:43.240 and and this laboratory that the elites are
00:50:47.260 building and and basing all of their
00:50:49.240 actions and solutions off of some theory or
00:50:52.860 some laboratory or some you know I wish it
00:50:56.600 could be this way it's destroying America
00:50:58.940 and it's dividing America to be just quite
00:51:01.520 honest with you the the the handful of
00:51:04.360 powerful elites are just offensive to those
00:51:08.740 of us and and and the problem is a lot of the
00:51:11.380 problem is there is there is knowledge um and
00:51:14.900 then there is wisdom there is common sense and
00:51:18.360 then there is a book sense and those don't
00:51:21.920 always go together uh you can you can have book
00:51:25.660 smarts and be dumb as a box of rocks um we all we
00:51:30.440 all know people who are who are like that um that
00:51:34.180 are are brilliant but couldn't work their way out
00:51:37.000 of a paper bag if they were left on their own but
00:51:39.980 brilliant um we know people who are really dumb
00:51:43.500 book wise but are very very wise you you they
00:51:48.760 don't all go hand in hand and unfortunately I
00:51:52.420 think in academia wisdom is gone wisdom is
00:51:58.160 absolutely gone common sense is gone and they're
00:52:01.720 relying everything on book smarts and they're not
00:52:05.620 even learning the book smarts that we used to have to
00:52:09.420 learn they they they're not learning how to think
00:52:13.140 they're reading books now done by other eggheads
00:52:16.760 that are interpreting everything for them instead of
00:52:20.460 saying I want you to read these original documents and
00:52:23.120 then you tell me what you think they mean they don't
00:52:26.280 read the original documents they go to a book that is
00:52:29.040 already interpreting whatever the original document
00:52:31.840 is well that's not the same that's not the same as
00:52:35.460 actual learning there's a book that they totally avoid as
00:52:42.360 well Glenn and it's the greatest book ever written
00:52:45.140 and it's called the bible and it is filled with thousands
00:52:50.700 of years of collective wisdom and if you avoid that book
00:52:57.500 you're setting yourself up in my view for failure and
00:53:02.180 you're setting yourself up to believe that you and we are
00:53:08.120 the smartest people that we are actually in control of this
00:53:14.160 have created this or running this it a lack of biblical knowledge
00:53:20.340 undermines your humility and a lack of humility sets man up for
00:53:27.640 self-destruction and that's what I see coming from the left there is
00:53:31.800 something else and it it comes from I think living in big big cities
00:53:36.600 and living um around nature's just awesome awesome beauty
00:53:45.320 I was driving through the mountains uh last week or two weeks ago
00:53:49.460 so I'm driving through I see I don't remember where I was but they had
00:53:53.580 the geological uh timeline on the sides of these cliffs so as you're going down
00:53:58.960 it was like 3 000 years ago you know uh 150 million years ago
00:54:05.400 and they showed the depth of of all the crap that had been put on top
00:54:10.620 you know over time and I thought how many how many civilizations
00:54:15.200 have there been that have been completely wiped out that we have
00:54:19.540 no record of none I mean we're so arrogant to think that the
00:54:24.980 the uh the earth won't cleanse itself I mean look at the mountains if you look
00:54:32.020 at mountains you have to understand many of those were thrust up can you
00:54:36.580 imagine what the Richter scale would have been saying
00:54:40.360 on a day a mountain came thrusting up out of the ground
00:54:44.480 these things we have barely an understanding of and we are so arrogant because
00:54:51.320 many of us live in cities where you don't see the stars anymore
00:54:56.580 there is something about being outside sitting around a fire quietly with a bunch of people
00:55:03.180 you know you're joking laughing whatever and then comes the time of night where it's all kind
00:55:08.260 of winding down and you're sitting outside around the fire and you look up and you're like
00:55:12.820 I mean what do you think it's really all about that humility is gone because we don't see the majesty
00:55:19.500 of how small and insignificant we are Glenn I I had a friend that I went to high school with
00:55:27.760 and to college with he became a fireman uh he's an avid hunter he helped me understand
00:55:37.080 exactly what you're talking about he explained to me why he loves to hunt and I think there's a lot of
00:55:44.640 us that are non-hunters that we don't understand the process of hunting going out into the woods being
00:55:52.860 one with nature sitting still for hours waiting for something to happen and he helped me understand that
00:56:03.040 his his his understanding of the world sitting out in the woods for two or three days at a time
00:56:09.760 the majesty and the magic of what God created you can only really feel that if you're outdoors if you're
00:56:19.680 still and quiet and observant for hours at a time it helped me understand his experience because I'm
00:56:28.940 I'm not a hunter I'm not either there's no access to a refrigerator and then you got to drag that thing
00:56:34.220 out to the car and you're like I I mean I've done all the work sitting out here can somebody else drag
00:56:39.780 this thing back to be cut up into meat oh but if you sit out there yeah and just sit still and observe
00:56:46.940 God's magic and his genius will reveal itself that's what this friend helped me understand
00:56:54.460 and and it's I think you're right in terms of what separates a lot of common folk from the elitist who
00:57:04.900 never get out in the woods it's just that experience we're talking to Jason Whitlock
00:57:10.900 Blaze TV host he just started his uh show last week Fearless with Jason Whitlock you can watch it on
00:57:18.120 Blaze TV Blaze.com slash Fearless also uh YouTube he's coming out with a
00:57:24.340 new article on Kamala Harris and uh the lack of access to photocopiers uh that is going on
00:57:31.220 apparently I didn't know it was such a pandemic but apparently it is uh he's coming out with that
00:57:35.760 article today and you can watch his show on Blaze TV one last question for you Jason um which is worse
00:57:43.120 a ever decreasing mental uh mentally capable president or Kamala Harris
00:57:51.580 I I I would have to go with Joe Biden and just because Joe Biden's cognitive problems
00:58:05.940 empower Kamala Harris and if we had a fully functioning president in the prime with his full uh cognitive
00:58:17.580 abilities she would be the typical she wouldn't right now she's Dick Cheney if if if she if Joe
00:58:25.760 Biden actually was fully engaged and capable she would be Joe Biden during the Obama presidency
00:58:32.920 really irrelevant she if she were president of the United States I think she might be irrelevant
00:58:38.660 because she's so unlikable so unlikable uh and uh and it's pretty much universal I mean I don't even
00:58:47.500 know if her husband likes her and I I don't know him but I'm just I'm speculating just a little just a
00:58:53.020 little I can't go that far yeah okay I can't all right well I would imagine well you have to be her
00:58:58.440 husband you have to like her to put up with the cackle yeah anybody else would just be like come on
00:59:03.880 stop that Jason Whitlock thank you so much Jason I appreciate it god bless thank you Glenn you bet
00:59:11.760 now I remember the good old days of grilling you know the days when you'd you'd fill up that grill
00:59:18.840 with enough charcoal that you you had to take out yourself and get from the freight train down there
00:59:24.500 and you'd get yourself a case of black lung in the process and you'd go with a lighter fluid and
00:59:30.620 you'd strike a match and your eyebrows would burn off that's when steaks were good
00:59:35.960 hey grandpa I don't think so yeah sure we miss the good old days of charcoal and uh lighter fluid
00:59:44.900 uh you know except for those parts where we don't miss it at all I have a rec tech and it will change
00:59:51.360 your grilling experience I mean especially if you're going from charcoal rec tech is amazing it is sleek

01:06:39.380 i don't know if our government knows that but these are peaceful people standing up in the middle of
01:06:44.860 streets uh just chanting i don't know what was it uh it was leotards or something like

01:07:05.800 other than american i mean hello um so it's a peaceful protest at this point it's probably not going to

01:08:24.780 uh when said that uh life needs to be hard for americans who have not received a coronavirus vaccine
01:08:33.080 with twice weekly testings wow life needs to be hard uh dr when i love that when when would that
01:08:42.600 start let's see what we could do with your anyway uh she said that it should be hard i don't know what
01:08:48.060 that means how can the government possibly make our life hard if we don't comply boy that sounds
01:08:54.940 kind of chinese doesn't it doesn't that doesn't sound like a little cuban chinese maybe former
01:09:00.540 soviet union gulag kind of spooky 1984 stuff hey they won't comply let's make their life miserable
01:09:07.080 well i don't have any idea how they could possibly uh do that oh by the way i i want to make sure i get
01:09:15.760 to the new bill in congress it is the protecting your credit score act of 2021 it's gonna be great
01:09:25.680 gonna be great elizabeth warren is just pushing this one through uh you know it's part of the
01:09:31.560 consumer financial protection bureau that she created under barack obama and finally finally you
01:09:38.220 know we're gonna make sure that our credit is exactly right we're gonna get rid of like equifax what is
01:09:43.420 that you even trust that that's hardly working huh get rid of that and put it into the hands of the
01:09:50.140 federal government oh by the way uh chase has purchased the esg startup in case you don't know what esg is
01:10:00.120 that's uh environmental social as in justice and governance uh so esg scores if you don't have the
01:10:09.340 right number of people uh you know that are black or asian or women or or men who used to be whatever
01:10:16.320 uh if you don't have the right number on your board you're going to get a low g score if you aren't
01:10:24.240 pushing crt and other social justice things you're going to have a low s score and of course if you do
01:10:31.480 anything to hurt the environment you'll have a low e score e s g so remember this is something that is
01:10:41.040 a conspiracy theory just a conspiracy theory it's not real of course um and blackstone is buying this
01:10:50.000 esg company uh to help them go a little deeper down into the ninth level of hell chase bank which has
01:10:59.600 openly supported esg and whose ceo is a big time supporter of the world economic forum's stakeholder
01:11:06.500 capitalism model announced it will buy the prominent esg startup company called open invest
01:11:14.280 now what's great about this is it just helps people invest in in the esg movement i mean don't you want
01:11:24.980 to invest your dollars into something that has a higher esg score that we know they're working for
01:11:30.880 all of us they're not part of those bad companies that aren't working for social justice now that is
01:11:38.620 coming for your credit score i mean for the credit score of the corporations in in europe they're way
01:11:45.900 ahead of us and you can't do business with another company that has a lower esg score than you
01:11:51.960 you know it's like that black mirror uh thing did you see that black mirror episode where the lady was
01:11:58.240 just trying to rent a car and she was like oh my credit score it was perfect until yesterday yeah it's
01:12:03.020 kind of like that but definitely not like that and definitely not like china's uh score for for social
01:12:10.700 activity um this is entirely different now they have said that they're only doing this they're not going
01:12:20.580 to enforce these things this is just for people so they can invest and they can invest with more
01:12:26.300 knowledge hmm that's weird because that's not the plan at all in the paperwork i mean when you when
01:12:33.580 you go to the world economic forum that's not what they say at all when you go to the paris climate
01:12:39.480 accords that's not what it says at all it says the banks will stop making loans to companies that have a
01:12:48.040 low esg score so now chase do you have your money in chase oh don't worry it's safe those are good
01:12:54.220 people there no seriously i wouldn't even think about it um so chase bank is buying this esg firm
01:13:01.620 and they're gonna put that in there to help uh retail users create portfolios that accurately reflect
01:13:10.080 the investors values so in other words will i be okay if i just invest in a company that has
01:13:17.000 a zero e a zero s and a zero g could i do that because that would help me with my investment oh nike
01:13:25.740 don't invest in that one is it really for me or oh no i get an esg score too oh so what i use my money
01:13:35.900 for also and then if we do it like they're doing it in europe then then the banks won't give me a loan
01:13:45.520 because i have a low esg score anyway i have no idea what this happened has to do with the good news
01:13:53.380 that uh the federal government has has has a new protecting your credit score act of 2021
01:13:59.920 uh they say it's long been coming that we've needed a reform for our credit reporting system
01:14:06.300 uh they say it's about you know making sure that poor people get money no it's not no it's not
01:14:12.260 this is all about controlling you controlling how everyone gets money if they control your credit
01:14:21.300 score by the way if you have a problem and something's on your credit score you know your
01:14:25.840 credit rating and it's hurting you don't worry about it call the government they're gonna fix
01:14:29.960 that right away for you it'll be fantastic or you can just get online oh you know what there's
01:14:35.760 something else that's happening do we have klaus schwab uh he's the guy uh you know that is the head
01:14:42.700 of the world economic forum we like to go right to the source on what they're planning on the great
01:14:48.080 reset here's here's uh klaus on the internet listen to this masks are not sufficient mask we need vaccines
01:14:57.040 to immunize ourselves the same is true for cyber attacks here too we have to move from simple protection to
01:15:07.280 immunization we need to build it infrastructures that have digital antibodies built in inherently to protect
01:15:18.800 themselves ah so we need to vaccinate the internet i'm gonna let you ponder that for a couple of minutes
01:15:26.800 then i'm going to tell you exactly what that means first let me tell you about our sponsor this f i

01:17:25.020 forum and if you heard build back better that is the world economics forum slogan uh before joe biden
01:17:32.700 had it yeah believe it or not ripped it off huh or was given it uh as we build back better meaning
01:17:39.380 we've destroyed the world now let's build it back closer to our heart's desire and that looks more
01:17:46.000 like china immunizing the internet what does that even mean well it would be a digital identification
01:17:54.460 system for everyone on the internet using biometrics this is not a hypothesis this is something that is
01:18:02.580 already happening in fact let me give you something from the thales group these are uh big supporters
01:18:07.840 of of this uh the united nations and world bank initiatives aim to provide everyone on the planet
01:18:15.100 with a legal identity by 2030 at the id 2020 summit in may 2016 new york the un initiated discussions
01:18:23.440 around digital identity blockchain cryptographic technologies and its benefits for the underprivileged
01:18:30.380 400 experts uh shared best practices and ideas how to provide universal identity to everyone
01:18:37.960 so that is great soon after id 2020 alliance was created based in new york the ngo's main participants
01:18:46.020 accenture microsoft gavi the vaccine alliance the rockefeller foundation and ideo.org
01:18:56.720 oh well that doesn't sound bad at all so all they want is biometrics and what they're going to
01:19:05.540 provide now i know there's a lot of places in the country well kamala said it best a lot of places in
01:19:11.680 the country that just don't have access to xerox machines for voter id you know what i'm saying
01:19:16.560 is agreeing to voter id one of those compromises that you'd support i don't think that we should
01:19:23.540 underestimate what that could mean because in some people's mind that means well you're going to have
01:19:33.500 to um xerox or or or photocopy your id to send it in to prove you are who you are well there are a
01:19:42.360 whole lot of people especially people who live in rural communities who don't there's no kinkos
01:19:46.360 there's no office max near them people have to understand that when we're talking about voter id
01:19:51.420 what happens i mean that's why we need a new universal id that's biometric that can verify
01:19:58.160 you whenever and this will help vaccinate the internet so we will have complete transparency
01:20:04.740 and we'll know who people are that way we'll always know exactly what they're doing what they're
01:20:11.780 spending where they're spending how they're spending how they're spending their time we'll
01:20:16.480 be able to get a much better look at everyone on earth this is what's this is what's really in play
01:20:26.200 by the way uh last week and i love this um the uh tech giant uh facebook
01:20:35.120 is issuing warnings about extremist content now usa today printed this story last week like it was a
01:20:43.540 good thing this is good they're what they're doing see what they're doing is uh they're just warning
01:20:49.440 people hey yeah might be getting some you know extremist content and then the algorithm looks at
01:20:56.600 what else you're looking at and if you're looking at a lot of extremist uh information well then the
01:21:03.300 algorithm will start pushing stories to combat those stories that you're looking for uh you're
01:21:11.300 already doing this this is something that we said google was looking to do uh about a year ago we
01:21:16.860 warned you that this algorithm was being built by google apparently facebook uh also built it this is
01:21:24.800 going into your facebook and it's looking at who you listen to who you read what you read and then
01:21:32.540 altering your feed to be able to combat things that facebook decides is extremist
01:21:39.580 i got news for you i'm an extremist you're an extremist we're all extremists uh so you're our
01:21:47.360 you're already flagged man uh you know just let me borrow a blanket from time to time when we're in
01:21:54.020 the gulag will you just once in a while god because i can't just use my own i'm enormous i'll lose weight
01:22:00.300 there though that'd be good this is what is coming and it is already here in some cases we need our
01:22:09.400 courts to stand up for the constitution a judge in texas denied a u.s citizen her constitutionally
01:22:18.100 protected due process rights choosing instead to order for her to appear before an islamic tribunal
01:22:26.880 where her testimony will be considered inferior her lawyer sounded the alarm and the judge has
01:22:34.160 doubled down this is a woman judge by the way judge andrea thompson she ordered the muslim woman who
01:22:41.220 is seeking a divorce from her husband to undergo the arbitration not through the regular channels but
01:22:46.400 through an islamic court uh yeah that doesn't sound like a good idea and since when since when
01:22:55.500 does our court acquiesce to a religious court for something like a divorce

01:29:10.300 not only through saturday we'll probably make it a week from wednesday shut up really see you're always
01:29:16.420 the optimist i am you know me art i've been uh you know worried about this economy and you've told
01:29:23.080 me for years glenn it's more robust than you think and it has shocked me art how how resilient this
01:29:31.720 economy uh has been over the last 20 years we have taken every punch the world can throw at us
01:29:39.200 and politicians and it's still standing it's getting a little wobbly but it's still standing
01:29:45.600 yeah i mean the the pandemic really did hit the economy uh and the politicians reaction to that
01:29:51.920 pandemic made it a lot lot worse so uh um you know but we are still standing and we are showing
01:29:58.040 some resiliency right now okay so talk to me about a couple of things first of all you don't think that
01:30:05.240 inflation is going to be a problem but you carve out certain things like you know beef or or uh i can't
01:30:15.320 remember what they are um you carved out a couple of things and said we're going to have a problem
01:30:19.600 we're going to have a problem with inflation housing prices and wages yeah housing prices and
01:30:25.820 wages you know they they don't fall back down after they go up uh so once they go up they they they don't
01:30:31.960 fall back now gasoline prices as you know go up and they go down and agricultural prices do as well
01:30:37.400 uh you know as far as i can tell glenn and and this is just me and it's it's worth it's worth what
01:30:45.180 you're paying for which is very little uh i'm not paying anything so wow i know neither is the
01:30:49.880 listener this is great don't listen to this guy he's crazy he'll do anything for free i do do
01:30:58.620 something for free i mean it's really worth it by the way you know when something's free it's really
01:31:03.660 expensive yeah it is now the quickie here is just way the way i look at inflation and now this is
01:31:11.160 inflation not a step up in prices at one time shot or something like that is if interest rates
01:31:16.880 go way way up that's a clear sign that the markets are expecting more inflation interest rates have not
01:31:23.120 gone way way up in fact they haven't gone up at all uh there's no sign in interest rates uh over the
01:31:28.760 next 10 years uh that there's going to be any inflation the price of gold normally when inflation
01:31:34.320 comes gold is the first refuge of the cautious you would expect gold prices to shoot way up in
01:31:39.620 inflation like they did in the 1970s they have not gone way up in fact they've settled back around
01:31:45.120 eighteen hundred dollars an ounce something like that uh and uh you know that's not a sign of it
01:31:50.040 and the other thing and the last one i i look at is the dollar in the foreign exchanges and when a
01:31:55.340 currency is really weak or devalues uh generally speaking that's followed by very high inflation
01:32:00.580 and we have not devalued in fact the dollar is relatively strong right now so those are the things i
01:32:06.260 look at now all my friends tell me that their companies uh that raw material prices are way up
01:32:11.960 and this that and the other and there's no question that there's been a huge surge in things like lumber
01:32:16.260 prices and others but i don't see a long-run rate of inflation yet but that doesn't mean that i'm not
01:32:22.900 watching it really how can we print as much money as we have and dump it into the system let me just say
01:32:31.420 that we aren't printing the money what the fed has done is it's bought five trillion dollars worth of
01:32:38.580 government debt which yields about 50 basis points in exchange for that five trillion dollars worth of
01:32:45.580 government debt which it bought it has issued five trillion dollars of liabilities to member banks
01:32:51.460 also paying 50 per 50 uh 50 basis points uh per year interest on that so they've borrowed five
01:32:59.600 trillion yielding 50 basis points and they've lent five trillion uh paying 50 basis points to me i don't
01:33:06.740 see how that causes inflation now what we have done is we've removed all constraints on inflation once it
01:33:14.300 starts if it starts but that by itself won't cause inflation this is not the old days glenn when we
01:33:20.600 devalued the dollar against other currencies or went off the gold standard or all of that when we had the
01:33:25.440 huge hyperinflation this is a very different monetary system today and i'm very worried about
01:33:31.420 inflation but i don't see it yet okay so tell me about the new modern monetary theory that is being
01:33:39.420 kicked around uh that you know we can just print because it's always a value yeah well let me say that
01:33:46.780 there's a little hint of truth in what they say uh and there's a big mistake in what they say as well
01:33:51.900 now we have historically way overestimated the damage done by deficits and national debt
01:33:58.820 uh you know we've always looked at national debt relative to gdp which is totally inappropriate
01:34:04.360 our our national debt to gdp today is about 115 it's gone way up and oh my god they're all jumping
01:34:11.540 across what you have to do with debt is you have to look at debt compared to wealth or you have to look
01:34:17.200 a debt service compared to gdp but you should never compare debt to gdp or or any of these others
01:34:24.340 you should never mix a balance sheet item with an income statement item if you look at our debt
01:34:29.560 service to gdp we're about the same level we were in 1980 i mean in fact we're a little below that
01:34:35.040 if you look at debt to wealth it's gone up uh but not so much so that you want to jump out the window
01:34:40.520 and kill yourself so we have overstated debt now to say that we've overstated means that we don't
01:34:47.240 have any worry about debt that's silly debt is a problem it's just not nearly the size of the
01:34:53.360 problem we thought it was back let's say 20 30 years ago okay so wait a minute you have to tell me
01:34:58.220 what's changed and then also art by the way how much time do you have with us because i have for you
01:35:03.760 what you name it okay so if um what has changed then let's just start there what's changed from
01:35:09.660 20 30 years ago well we were comparing debt to gdp and you know when you look at debt to gdp
01:35:15.940 the debt is a balance sheet item and gdp is an income statement item and you can't do that
01:35:21.020 you've got to compare balance sheet items with balance sheet items or income statement items
01:35:25.280 with income statement items but not mix the two okay wait wait wait wait wait wait just talk to me
01:35:30.700 like a homeowner okay if i buy if i if i have an income of a hundred thousand dollars and i've bought
01:35:38.460 a four million dollar house um you know you could say don't compare the two but i only have a hundred
01:35:46.280 thousand to pay for it and let's say i got it at a zero percent or a two percent interest rate if at
01:35:53.300 some point if i have an adjustable mortgage which we do there's no way in hell i'll ever be able
01:36:00.640 to afford that ever just because of interest rates let me if i can take your example make it a
01:36:06.180 little simpler if i could all right if you're buying a house so what what is that what does
01:36:10.000 the bank ask you on when you apply for the loan how much is the work how much is the house worth
01:36:15.200 in the market and what is the size of your mortgage that's a debt to asset comparison i won't lend any
01:36:23.420 more than 75 percent of the market value of your house to you in a mortgage that's one criterion
01:36:29.020 they use the second criterion they use is can you afford this with your income what is your income
01:36:35.200 versus the debt service requirements you have to get for this house if you're making fifty thousand
01:36:40.900 dollars a year and your debt service is forty nine thousand you're probably in trouble if your income
01:36:46.620 is a hundred thousand your debt service is five thousand you're probably okay uh so you know they
01:36:51.700 look at how much your house is worth in your mortgage and how much your income is versus how much
01:36:56.860 you'll have to pay in debt service but the federal government's income is already this year is going
01:37:02.120 to be three trillion dollars in the hole we are our income is not matching uh what we're spending
01:37:10.480 but the three trillion isn't is the deficit and it's also the level of debt now when you look at the
01:37:16.860 debt just the debt to this year let's say we increase our debt by five trillion dollars
01:37:22.440 uh and we're paying half a percent on that debt that's you know what is that that's 50 50 billion
01:37:29.700 60 billion a year i mean you know it it's not the interest payments that are killing our government
01:37:36.500 nobody but if if interest rates do go up to eight percent it'd be crippling then we're in trouble
01:37:43.820 but that's true of any time when interest rates are low don't you borrow more than you do when interest
01:37:48.460 rates are high sure except i don't know how to pay the i don't know how to i mean when the interest
01:37:55.760 rate if i have an adjustable mortgage i do keep it in mind that this is an unbelievably low rate that
01:38:02.180 can't last forever can i pay for it for a long long time i mean you go back to 2008 when benny
01:38:08.600 bernanke was head of the fed and you know they lowered interest rates to near zero and it's been at zero now
01:38:13.960 since 2008 glenn i mean you know for 13 straight years we've had interest rates way below where they
01:38:20.760 should be long term now this is not the only time it's ever happened and i'm not saying it's smart
01:38:25.860 to borrow and i don't think it's smart for the u.s to run deficits like we do i don't but i'm also not
01:38:31.660 ready to jump off the cliff uh we've had periods like from 1941 to 1950 it's 1960 i think 1955 something
01:38:41.460 we had the accord where interest rates were effectively zero as well uh you know we've
01:38:46.700 had this type of period before okay now it scares me and it scares me a lot but it's not the death
01:38:53.060 shot yet okay so let me talk about some other things let me take a one minute break and then
01:38:57.620 come back we're talking to art laffer uh art laffer who is probably the smartest guy uh he and his team
01:39:06.400 to fix economies uh out there he's of course going to be august 2nd through the 7th at yuck yucks
01:39:12.820 uh it's not how that works and uh and then uh sold out shows uh september through september 5th at
01:39:21.000 milk through your nose in provo utah uh we'll be back with art here in just a second
01:39:26.520 all right now let me tell you a little bit about gold line

01:40:40.520 we're with uh art laffer um art tell me about what's happened there's some fundamental things that are
01:41:01.280 changing in america and i know that there have been brains a lot smarter than mine that have
01:41:07.740 wondered what happens when we transition to a a country where property is something that you rent
01:41:15.160 not something that you own and when you start to pay people for doing nothing how is this all going
01:41:22.600 to work we are now seeing how at least one part of this is working uh and not well we have people that
01:41:30.680 won't work because the government is paying them to stay at home uh and we haven't even seen the
01:41:38.420 effects of what that does psychologically to a society um what we're seeing now is people can't
01:41:44.180 get anybody to go in and work and so places are closing down or or things are making you know that
01:41:49.680 kind of atmosphere makes the things we're all trying to buy even more precious and more expensive
01:41:54.400 because there's nobody there to make them you're precise this is the real problem i mean i would
01:42:00.820 worry about this far more than i would about debt or debt service at present uh when you tax people who
01:42:07.180 work and you pay people who don't work do not be surprised if a lot of people choose not to work
01:42:14.500 and every answer this administration does and other administrations too it's not just this one
01:42:20.160 governments in general love to pay people not to work because they think they get to get votes from
01:42:25.540 and that is exactly what we've gone through this huge expenditures uh on these uh stimulus packages
01:42:32.880 they say have all been directly aimed at creating a marketplace where people do not want to work
01:42:39.200 and that goods become scarce and that those prices go up but it's a disaster to both income earners
01:42:46.180 and to people who don't work because once they're out of a job for a while glenn they learn that they
01:42:52.060 lose the skills to do the jobs and then they become unemployable and that's a terrible terrible burden
01:42:58.240 for our society to have to bear so art how i mean there's there's obviously this is coming from the
01:43:04.960 administration we're we're moving towards a marxist kind of world um what what's it going to take to
01:43:13.280 repair this damage politics i mean the only answer is people basically deserve the governments they get
01:43:20.280 uh and you know you elect the government and you deserve whatever you get in your place and as long
01:43:26.380 as we don't do the politics correctly as long as we don't elect the right people as long as we don't
01:43:31.000 have the right laws put in place uh and the right courts uh we're going to have this problem and it we've
01:43:36.300 seen it happen many countries times before i mean it was ibn khaldun who said at the beginning of
01:43:41.620 dynasties tax rates are low and revenues are high and at the end of dynasties and their collapse
01:43:46.660 tax rates are high and revenues are low and this is a pattern that's been followed historically
01:43:52.160 and unfortunately it looks like the u.s is in that death spiral as well we've got to change it and
01:43:58.180 change it through politics the the things that donald trump did i am not for um i i'm not for tariffs
01:44:07.660 at all um however however his tariff and i told him personally his tariff on china i think was
01:44:15.880 absolutely right they are an enemy of the united states and we have given them way too much access
01:44:23.140 and power and control over not only uh our medicine and and many of our goods our chips but also
01:44:31.420 our land as well how how how does china see the united states right now well you know i was the
01:44:40.020 first american to go to china in modern times i went in 1970 with george schultz and john ehrlichman
01:44:45.400 in air force too when we had the first rough person when we did the pre-kissinger trip and you know
01:44:50.740 try at that time was ripe for coming into the world community and what we have to do glenn is balance the
01:44:57.320 good and the bad with china politically you're totally correct and there's no reason why we
01:45:02.800 shouldn't use tariffs and quotas and other sorts of trade measures to bring uh to bring recalcitrant
01:45:09.440 nations back into line but do remember for china please without china there is no walmart
01:45:16.820 and without walmart there is no middle class or lower class prosperity china should be our best
01:45:23.180 trading partner in the world and we should have all the precautions set in place on trade to make
01:45:29.220 sure that the critical materials uh with regard to china aren't traded and thereby cost the u.s
01:45:35.240 politically and militarily so how do we how do we balance the how do we balance we've got only a
01:45:40.700 minute i don't know if you can even answer this how do we balance the idea that uh nike and others
01:45:47.000 are looking at that market and so they'll just go with that market because they want that market more
01:45:52.420 than this market uh they'd like both but they got to serve that master how do we stop that well i
01:46:00.560 don't think we have to worry about nike selling shoes in china i really don't and i don't think we have
01:46:05.520 a problem with chinese producing shoes that are much more much cheaper and much better quality than
01:46:10.620 ours i mean we had we do some things far better than china and they do some things far better than
01:46:15.520 we do we and they would be foolish in the extreme glenn if we didn't sell them those products we make
01:46:21.040 better than they do in exchange for those products they make better than we do so long as those
01:46:25.880 products don't harm us politically and militarily okay uh more with art laffer if you can stay art i
01:46:31.520 want to talk to you a little bit about your experience in foreign countries and what you have seen uh from
01:46:37.880 marxist countries and and how you've turned them around more with art laffer
01:46:42.680 this is the glenn back program do you have any idea what it takes to make a great candy bar
01:46:52.240 that's what i say to my wife all the time woman do you have any idea she hits me well i because i don't
01:47:00.100 i don't have any idea uh i'm assuming it takes a fair amount of witchcraft um and and that i think
01:47:08.340 is evidence by built bar i don't know how they make a built bar that has like 120 calories
01:47:14.820 four grams of uh uh of carbs uh make it healthy for you it has all the healthy and then really
01:47:24.940 tastes good well they say they do it because they start with it's got to taste good then we figure out
01:47:30.280 how to make it good for you as well it's real chocolate it's fantastic it's built bar check them

01:48:25.820 to the economy art laffer uh i think one of the best economists uh in the world uh in our lifetime
01:48:33.900 welcome back to the program art thank you glenn i love being on the show with you by the way i
01:48:39.220 missed you a lot i know i missed you too well you're too happy you know
01:48:43.060 i've got six kids 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren can you believe that do you
01:48:50.860 really i do i mean how can you not be happy when i know i know when you get the grandchildren into great
01:48:56.940 oh it's wonderful you know why grandchildren and grandparents get along so well why they have a
01:49:02.460 common enemy and great-grandchildren must be great because you don't really you're not really even
01:49:10.980 expected to learn their names you know what i mean you're not expected to ever see them
01:49:15.760 wonderful okay so uh um art i want to just cover a few things quickly but let me sweep up on china
01:49:25.560 china uh china is building things making things with uyghur slaves uh we have and i'm sure you're
01:49:33.040 against doing business with that right yeah i don't like the the way they treat their citizens no
01:49:39.880 i hear okay uh and and what are the what are the ethics behind you know facebook helping them
01:49:46.800 round people up you know i don't like that either i think facebook shouldn't be messing with their
01:49:52.360 politics you know i do think one thing though glenn is that the countries you trade with the
01:49:58.240 countries you do business with countries you make money with are countries that you can persuade to
01:50:03.360 change their policies uh not force them to but you can persuade them to change their policies and i
01:50:09.540 always am in favor of more trade with a country rather than less and especially when they don't see
01:50:15.100 the world the same way i do i'd much rather talk with them than i would fight with them
01:50:19.880 i would rather do that but i'd rather not be complicit with them and i think that's what's
01:50:26.300 complicit i mean ibm and the holocaust well no those people are yeah that there you got it i mean
01:50:32.500 there are explicit things in what you said about facebook and all that but when you're looking at a
01:50:37.420 country you sit down and talk with them and all that sort of stuff and try to get them to see the
01:50:42.140 errors of their ways rather than trying to hit them with a club you know whenever whenever you fight
01:50:46.900 with someone you always lose you may not lose as much as the guy you beat up but you always lose
01:50:52.460 it's far better to work with them and try to get to get china to see the error of their ways with regard
01:50:58.240 to the uyghurs and with regard to a lot else do remember that it wasn't long ago glenn i mean 1970 i
01:51:04.360 made my first trip to china uh and that one before they opened up anything they were much worse back
01:51:10.440 then than they are now i mean they're far more free market capitalists than they were back then
01:51:14.720 they've got a long way to go but goodness gracious if we don't trade when if we don't do business with
01:51:20.580 them we'll never be able to interact with them and get them to change their ways are you that's my
01:51:25.280 view are you concerned with the talk from the president and others um very much like the world
01:51:30.740 economic forum of this new stakeholder capitalism that uh is going around and that china is the new
01:51:39.040 model for capitalism that's not capitalism that they're doing over there no it's not but you know
01:51:45.140 they weren't doing capitalism pre-1970 either they were as bad as any country in the world with respect
01:51:51.100 to the government they were a hermit kingdom just like north korea was back then they've come a long
01:51:56.400 way but they have a long way to still go i mean we have got to get them back onto a democratic type of
01:52:02.140 government where they don't pick on groups in their society i mean remember when they put the baby
01:52:06.920 girls out in the riverbanks to die i mean you know all that stopped i mean we've made great progress
01:52:12.680 on lots of things with china i just don't want to see us stop that progress okay no i but i would not
01:52:18.740 trade weapons with them and i would not allow them to have those islands in the coast that they're
01:52:22.780 building and i would really resist their military expansion and i would resist it by looking at the
01:52:28.820 assets they have in this country to use those as leverage exactly right um um so the last question
01:52:35.340 here is where do you draw the line last question on china at least where do you draw the line on
01:52:41.140 um what is you know of national importance national uh defense you know them having us not being able
01:52:50.740 to create any of our own stuff uh when it comes to medicine or making ppes or is that national security
01:52:59.700 where where is that line on i think the line comes with the government of the united states not with
01:53:06.040 the government of china and if you had a low rate broad-based flat tax with no exceptions no exemptions
01:53:12.740 no deductions no exclusions period sound money and free trade we would have the table set for the u.s
01:53:19.100 to perform immensely well and that's where i put it the u.s government messes around with our
01:53:25.700 companies our products ourselves within our own country i know and that's just awful and to think
01:53:31.540 that we could then trust them to do a good job internationally doing it i don't think so i would
01:53:37.240 just like to see the government pull out of all this production stuff have a low rate broad-based flat
01:53:41.860 tax and just get the hell out of business and let us go and do our stuff um are we approaching a john
01:53:48.180 galt uh i am yeah i mean there's but you and i have always been approaching john galt right what
01:53:57.120 could i tell you yeah i mean i just with everything that is coming uh you could see people who are just
01:54:02.900 like i'm not doing it i'm not doing i'm not playing your game i'm not doing it but there's no place to
01:54:08.000 go optimism let me just do the highest marginal income tax rate in 1945 was 94 percent yeah today it's
01:54:15.840 37 that's a big improvement in 19 when kennedy came into office the corporate rate was 52 percent
01:54:21.600 it's now 21 percent uh you look at how many states are right to work states versus in 1957 when there
01:54:28.720 were only two now it's well over 50 percent uh way 40 for 40 states now have gotten rid of their state
01:54:34.840 death tax uh we and now have all sorts of competitive positions in 1973 it cost you 30 cents to buy and sell
01:54:43.640 a share of stock now it's zero we have big control of airlines of trucking we've made a lot of progress
01:54:49.900 in addition to a lot of backstepping too so this country is by no means a loser yet we have to change
01:54:57.080 it now politically and it's very tough but you know we've got to keep pressing for advances now
01:55:02.120 the president signed something the other day executive order that i was very involved with trump on
01:55:07.880 on on medical price transparency that's a game changer if it works we can get to know what the
01:55:14.380 prices are in hospitals what the quality is of the procedures and you can shop there just like you do a
01:55:19.480 grocery store that would change our country dramatically so it's not all negative glenn there are a lot of
01:55:26.500 negative things i point to and it gets me depressed but i wake up then the next morning and think of all
01:55:31.740 the blessings we've had in my 80 plus years on this earth and it's amazing how far we've come
01:55:37.480 and we've got a long way to go so tell me is because i just was in the i was in a mall over
01:55:44.320 the weekend or last few days and uh believe it or not art they still exist uh and uh this woman from
01:55:51.600 poland approached me and she said oh my gosh you're glenn beck thank you for speaking out nobody understands
01:55:57.120 look at what's happening to the country there's no place to run can you explain what it was like
01:56:02.040 when you went to argentina and it had just been ravaged well there were two of them i did very
01:56:08.940 closely in south america one was chile the first ones eduardo fray had lost the presidency to uh
01:56:14.580 salvador allende allende nationalized all the businesses within the first five weeks
01:56:19.640 and then pinochet came in and we reformed the whole country and those reforms are still in place
01:56:25.620 through left-wing governments right-wing governments they have not changed those i was down there with
01:56:29.800 menem in argentina with my students rocky fernandez and pedro poe and uh carlos rodriguez and domingo
01:56:36.540 cavallo all that group there we really reformed argentina it really came back strongly and then bang it
01:56:44.160 went to lopez murphy and all these guys brought in the communist governments again and now they've lost
01:56:48.980 it all again so i was hoping we would get cuba but unfortunately my mentor my hero jorge
01:56:55.600 mas canosa uh died before castro did and we never got to change cuba but we we did a lot with
01:57:02.360 uh puerto rico i mean i was down there with uh uh with with uh the governor there i mean it was just
01:57:08.120 phenomenal the changes we made they don't last forever glenn but they do give you sunshine for
01:57:13.960 a week or two yeah and i i wanted you to speak because the the the president said over the weekend
01:57:20.240 or the white house said over the weekend that the people in cuba are just protesting against uh you
01:57:25.860 know the covid lockdown and the lack of of vaccines in cuba that's not what they're doing i mean that
01:57:31.940 may be the straw that broke the camel's back but they were all shouting for freedom and liberty um that's
01:57:37.220 what they were protesting they want to change and they want to be free um you've gone down tell me
01:57:43.960 what what its life is like at the end for the for the average person what is like life like um at at
01:57:53.140 the at that bottom and then how fast can you turn it around well let me just say that if you've seen
01:57:58.660 the pictures on cuba the documentaries and all that stuff and they're mixed intermingled with all sorts of
01:58:03.360 things like cigar making or animal life or something but you can see the streets and it's just terrible
01:58:08.120 i mean you know whenever you see a palm tree in an environment subtract 10 from what you think
01:58:13.860 you're seeing because palm trees make you think it's luxurious it's not it's horrible and cuba if
01:58:18.900 it were to be able to be changed and i did the revolutionary change there uh which never was
01:58:24.780 materialized but we could put cuba back on the earth on a rocket ship like you wouldn't believe
01:58:30.920 in pro-democracy uh pro-prosperity i mean it is the one place there's no capitalist more capitalistic
01:58:37.500 than a former communist yeah i know and it's really true and cuba is just seething for the
01:58:44.320 opportunity to break free and become a member of the world look at china's growth rates since 1970
01:58:50.940 they've been growing at an average annual rate glenn of about eight percent per annum
01:58:55.560 i mean you know they're still way behind us but my god they've provided so much for their citizens
01:59:00.960 the biggest reduction in poverty on earth has occurred in china because of their coming back out of
01:59:06.960 into the mainstream of the world are they an example of uh fascism which is you know the
01:59:14.040 corporate world and a government kind of merging and working together are they a fascistic country
01:59:20.940 that has worked well it has worked so far in the economy i mean the government doesn't do much at the
01:59:26.100 very local level in the economy they really keep their hands off that the tax rates are lower trade has
01:59:31.660 been freer they have sound money they outsource their money to alan greenspan at first now they have a
01:59:36.940 great currency that works so they've done all of this stuff to create economic prosperity now they
01:59:42.660 have to create political prosperity as well and that's a lot tougher but you know we did it in 1776
01:59:48.900 we just celebrated a few weeks ago and there's no reason why china cannot come around and see the
01:59:55.240 light if luke the drifter can see the light so can china art laffer reference by the way in frisco
02:00:01.680 you're running out of frisco texas you got new luke drifter is uh art always great to talk to you
02:00:07.940 thank you so much thanks for your positivity i appreciate it don't make so long don't make it so
02:00:12.260 long till the next time you got it thanks art bye-bye don't you feel better after talking to him
02:00:18.560 yeah i just like him i do too i just like him he's optimistic and you know i mean i don't think i
02:00:24.500 think he's you know on the bridge of the titanic one no ice what no ice enjoy yourself i mean
02:00:31.660 anyway uh relief factor if you're listening to this program and you're not a person living with pain
02:00:40.060 i want you to imagine something for a minute in your mind's eye put on the darkest sunglasses you can
02:00:47.120 imagine and then walk around in the world that way for a while all the color and the shapes are there
02:00:53.840 but they're different it's dull and it's flat it's uninteresting and even sad at times that's a
02:01:00.020 glimpse of what it's like living in constant pain all the time you walk around and you can't appreciate
02:01:06.000 anything really because you're constantly pulled into the pain well may i suggest relief factor if you
02:01:15.540 are one of those people pulled into the pain come see the light with relief factor works for about
02:01:22.000 70 percent of the people they say don't take it more than three weeks if it's not working because
02:01:27.180 in three weeks you should know it's working or it's not going to work so if it's if it's showing
02:01:32.420 any sign of anything make sure you order more uh but 70 percent of the people they see a good turn
02:01:41.700 they see coming out of the darkness and into the light 70 percent of the people go on to order more
02:01:47.940 month after month why because relief factor works if you are in pain just try it please 800-500-8384
02:01:57.500 800-500-8384 it's relieffactor.com 888-727-BECK this is the glenbeck program
02:02:09.540 this is the glenbeck program uh art laffer was uh with us if you missed it make sure you check
02:02:17.100 him out on the podcast he's always great uh very optimistic uh i think delusional uh you know in
02:02:23.960 some things in the very nicest way in the nicest way possible uh i mean yeah he's an expert but i'm
02:02:30.200 a doctor and a colonel right and a priest and a rabbi i mean not a rabbi a reverend so i'm all of
02:02:37.140 those all those things i'm all of those things so you know you can listen art if you want he the
02:02:42.020 one because i i agree with a lot of the stuff that he was talking about and i i think one of the things
02:02:47.400 i would wonder if there's a difference on now is i think the new regime in china is actually
02:02:55.820 considerably different than you know their their new coke coke classic i agree with art on like you
02:03:02.060 know that the way china was running itself new coke though with president g as opposed to you know
02:03:07.080 who or whoever else you who you would have to take into consideration what they did uh with
02:03:13.780 tiananmen square i mean i think that they were very strategic the chinese are very strategic and
02:03:18.960 they have a long-term plan and they saw that they were getting their lunch eaten and they needed some
02:03:24.860 sort of capitalism and they played the game uh for a long time now uh if people got out of hand
02:03:32.320 they were going to take care of it and they did and then they went back to putting on their happy
02:03:35.940 face yeah i could go either way on the reasoning behind it the motivation whether they were just
02:03:41.420 there certainly were always people who were waiting and biding their time um it could be that they
02:03:45.420 really were open for a while and have changed with new leadership yeah that's that's common i mean
02:03:49.920 when you have when you have people that are running companies that just suddenly disappear yeah and
02:03:53.980 they're well known around the world this wasn't yeah this was new this is a new thing over the past
