00:02:39.980 We begin in 60 seconds.

00:02:41.360 Every day, I warn you on this show about the dangers of inflation and how they're going to take what's already a lagging economy

00:02:51.300 and turn it into something we haven't seen in this country in a very long time.

00:02:54.960 And I pray to God that I'm wrong, and I'm pretty sure I'm not.

00:04:02.480 So, yesterday, if you remember, my head was going to explode because why are we allowing California to dictate everything to the rest of the nation?

00:04:13.920 Okay? Remember?

00:04:15.220 I'm like, let them stand on their head.

00:04:16.720 They want to do that, fine.

00:04:18.200 Let them feel the full consequence.

00:04:20.020 Why are they dragging us along with it?

00:04:22.180 Okay?

00:04:23.140 Yeah.

00:04:24.300 Today, my question is this.

00:04:27.360 Why do we keep listening to the same people who got us into this situation?

00:04:30.980 Why are we listening to them?

00:04:33.340 Here's Janet Yellen from yesterday on our economy.

00:04:39.260 We still see the impact of COVID in China and the slowdown in Chinese growth.

00:04:46.720 Yeah.

00:04:46.960 And with high inflation and tightening monetary policy in many advanced countries, emerging markets from really all of these factors are suffering many stresses.

00:05:00.780 So, there's a lot to talk about.

00:05:02.500 But from the perspective of the United States, I think the United States is doing very well.

00:05:08.080 Wow.

00:05:08.820 We're doing very well.

00:05:09.880 Other countries have high inflation, tight money.

00:05:14.740 Their central banks are tightening the money supply, which is driving interest rates up.

00:05:20.340 And they're having supply problems.

00:05:23.000 But us?

00:05:24.280 No, I think we're doing really...

00:05:25.920 Why are we listening to her?

00:05:28.240 Why are we listening?

00:05:30.220 Now, let's go to the genius that's actually behind the wheel, driving this car over the cliff, our president.

00:05:39.540 What does he think about what's coming economically?

00:05:43.200 Should the American people prepare for a recession?

00:05:45.720 No.

00:05:46.320 Look, they've been saying this now, how every six months they say this.

00:05:50.160 Every six months they look down, the next six months and see what's going to happen.

00:05:53.720 It hadn't happened yet.

00:05:54.840 There is no guarantee that they're going to be a recession.

00:06:00.860 I don't think there will be a recession.

00:06:02.460 If there is, it'll be a very slight recession.

00:06:04.460 That is, we'll move down slightly.

00:06:07.460 Okay.

00:06:08.020 All right.

00:06:08.480 Now, maybe, perhaps, I want to give him the benefit of the doubt.

00:06:11.300 Maybe, because there is one industry that has just, I mean, has made so much money, hand over fist,

00:06:21.100 it is such a growing industry that maybe he's thinking, well, you know, GDP is affected by the fentanyl and human trafficking industry.

00:06:32.160 Jobs are, I mean, it's not hard to find a job there.

00:06:35.280 You're willing to human traffic people because of the border?

00:06:38.780 Don't worry.

00:06:39.480 If you're an Eastern European hooker, his son has really helped keep that economy going. 1.00

00:06:43.880 Right, right, right.

00:06:45.060 But just because this, according to Department of Homeland Security, just because of what we've done on the border,

00:06:49.780 there has only been a 500% increase in human smuggling.

00:06:55.000 So, you know, increase.

00:06:57.240 That's good, right?

00:06:57.920 Yeah, that's good.

00:06:58.800 I mean, up, up, up.

00:06:59.800 America is really doing really.

00:07:01.560 We're number one.

00:07:02.040 Yeah.

00:07:02.260 Now, I want to talk about those other countries that are having some problems, you know, with loans becoming more expensive,

00:07:11.320 threatening jobs, trouble with their oil and gas prices, high interest rates and high inflation.

00:07:19.860 Unlike us.

00:07:20.820 Unlike us.

00:07:21.320 We're good.

00:07:22.800 But let me talk about those countries.

00:07:24.300 Top diplomat in the European Union ambassador's annual conference said that Europe has been decoupled due to multiple black swan events.

00:07:36.220 It says it can no longer count on Russia for cheap gas and oil.

00:07:41.160 China, they were depending on cheap goods.

00:07:44.220 And the United States, they've depended on the United States for security.

00:07:48.720 And now they've lost all three.

00:07:50.280 And, you know, now they're going to have to completely reimagine, completely reimagine how Europe is put together because it's broken and they're not going to be able to do anything about it.

00:08:03.180 They just have to reimagine how everything works.

00:08:09.300 And they're looking now at an era of volatility, which is great.

00:08:13.480 But, you know, the thing I really liked is he said, you know, United States and Europe had a fantastic relationship and we were cooperating a lot.

00:08:24.140 And that situation might change now.

00:08:26.720 But I mean, I I'm quoting.

00:08:28.940 But I urge you to think what would have happened if instead of Joe Biden sort of happened with Donald Trump or someone like him in the White House.

00:08:37.200 It wouldn't happen with him in the White House.

00:08:43.440 He was warning you of these things and you laughed at him.

00:08:48.820 But don't worry about it because we are fine.

00:08:52.380 According to Janet, we're doing really.

00:08:54.320 I think we're on the upswing.

00:08:55.520 We're doing really, really well now.

00:08:58.920 Let's see.

00:08:59.620 I just want to count the enemies here.

00:09:01.040 We're we're we're we're in a proxy war with Russia, right?

00:09:06.480 We're we're fighting with Ukraine, which I think we're really all we're doing is laundering money through Ukraine. 0.97

00:09:15.600 We haven't made China too happy lately.

00:09:20.720 But we also have had a very long ally, Saudi Arabia, which I don't want to be tied to. 1.00

00:09:27.920 Donald Trump was fixing that.

00:09:29.340 But then our our president, he got a little spicy with the with the sultan or the prince over there and and said, you know, this guy's a thug and a criminal and he has no place at the table and I'm going to take care of him when I get in.

00:09:47.160 So now the the president went over and he said, hey, can you guys maybe up the you know, and they agreed as he left, they agreed to 200,000 barrels, which is nothing.

00:10:02.280 200,000 barrels.

00:10:03.320 And then the White House wrote a missive to the prince and said, you just broke your word to the president.

00:10:12.760 What are you doing?

00:10:13.320 You said 200.

00:10:14.160 Now you're going to reduce it to 100.

00:10:16.640 And that kind of pissed the the prince off.

00:10:19.200 And so he's like, yeah, you know what?

00:10:21.920 I'm going to reduce it even more than that.

00:10:23.780 OK, so they went the people who were there at the meeting said that he was asking for oil and he was asking, you know, just can you just boost it up a bit?

00:10:34.580 What's better is he was saying, and if you have to cut it, can you wait until after the election?

00:10:41.060 That way he could, you know, convince everybody that we're on the move.

00:10:45.740 Everything's good and your gas prices are down.

00:10:48.920 And then OPEC could lower the production of oil.

00:10:52.940 And then after you've made a decision on which side you trust to tell you the truth and to help you along, then after the election, then he could say, oh, my gosh, look at what these evil,

00:11:04.260 evil Saudis are doing, OK? 1.00

00:11:07.540 Now, the president has come out and said, we never even talked about oil.

00:11:11.880 Really?

00:11:12.520 You didn't?

00:11:13.420 You didn't?

00:11:14.100 Really?

00:11:14.820 Huh.

00:11:15.340 That's weird because everybody who was in the meeting says you talked about oil.

00:11:19.000 But no, no, no, he didn't.

00:11:20.720 And he also says, ridiculous that I said we were going to reevaluate our relationship if they didn't cut the oil.

00:11:28.400 Except, you know, after they cut the oil, the president was on TV.

00:11:34.260 That very day saying, I think we need to reevaluate our relationship.

00:11:38.900 So this is really good.

00:11:40.960 Biden has now warned of consequences for Saudi Arabia.

00:11:46.340 He vowed to hold Saudi Arabia accountable. 0.88

00:11:49.920 He said, I'm not going to get into what I consider and what I have in mind, but there will be consequences.

00:11:57.720 Good.

00:11:58.380 OK.

00:11:58.960 All right.

00:11:59.660 OK.

00:12:00.680 All right.

00:12:01.140 Well, you know, why not?

00:12:03.800 Why not throw that log on the fire?

00:12:05.760 Oh, by the way, the other reason Saudi Arabia is so pissed at us because of Joe Biden is because he's making a deal with their mortal enemy, Iran. 0.72

00:12:15.980 So we got that going for us.

00:12:17.900 So let's pick another fight there.

00:12:20.180 Oh, oh, oh, here's another fight we just picked, too.

00:12:23.340 You're going to love this one.

00:12:25.300 We have decided to stop all exports of our chips to China.

00:12:34.100 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:12:35.560 So the U.S. Department of Commerce introduced sweeping rules aimed at cutting China off from obtaining or manufacturing key chips and components for supercomputers.

00:12:46.940 This is, quoting, seen as a huge escalation, huge escalation in the tensions between Beijing and Washington.

00:12:55.780 America argues that such advanced semiconductors can be used by China for advanced military capabilities.

00:13:01.120 Don't you think so?

00:13:04.500 Quoting the co-founder of the Center for Innovating the Future, there is no going back to the way things were.

00:13:12.720 With the latest action, the chasm between the United States and China has now expanded to the point of no return.

00:13:20.320 This is great.

00:13:21.940 So by cutting off the chips, which I'm not arguing that they shouldn't have, we shouldn't be sending them stuff.

00:13:29.260 But right now, you know, might be kind of a dicey time to do it.

00:13:36.540 Now we're forcing them to have to take Taiwan because Taiwan is the maker of all of the most sophisticated chips.

00:13:46.800 In fact, I think they make 80 percent of the chips.

00:13:50.360 So that's going to be really good if they march into Taiwan, because then guess who doesn't have any computer chips?

00:13:58.600 Yeah, us.

00:14:00.940 Oh, this is good.

00:14:02.700 Oh, by the way, last night also, Biden doubled down on the warning of nuclear Armageddon.

00:14:10.640 Yesterday, he said it again, you know.

00:14:14.280 I don't think Putin will use a nuclear weapon, but I mean, it could be nuclear Armageddon if he does.

00:14:27.040 Oh, OK, that that makes that makes it that makes it much more acceptable and and and soothing really to hear that news.

00:14:35.020 Oh, and they also announced yesterday that NATO is going to hold a nuclear deterrence exercise.

00:14:43.120 Now, this is great.

00:14:44.640 Have you ever heard of Operation Able Archer?

00:14:48.080 This is a great story.

00:14:49.960 Don't worry, it's in our past.

00:14:51.980 Able Archer was something that we did every year, you know, right there on the border of Russia.

00:14:57.420 We did it with NATO.

00:15:00.500 It was a NATO nuclear deterrence test.

00:15:05.240 And I'm going to take you way, way back to 1983, because what we did, we held this annual every year.

00:15:15.600 We did it annual exercise.

00:15:17.920 And we had 100,000 personnel over there, 16,000 of which were flown in from the United States.

00:15:26.380 And the exercise was to simulate, what are you going to do if somebody launches a nuke?

00:15:33.340 Now, the Soviet Union knew this was just an exercise that we did every year.

00:15:38.400 But Reagan had been a little spicy, calling them a terrorist organization, saying that they were an evil empire.

00:15:49.080 And so they no longer trusted the United States at all, because they knew Ronald Reagan wanted them to collapse.

00:15:58.340 So what they did is they they had these new things called computers and these computer programs who started to track, you know, they were there in Russia and they were very sophisticated.

00:16:16.280 Russia had only the best computers and the best software programmers. 0.62

00:16:19.940 And and so as they were doing this, what happened was it looked like we had launched a bunch of missiles on their computers and they were convinced we launched a bunch of missiles.

00:16:38.700 It wasn't just the computer.

00:16:41.260 And they had during the whole operation, they had all of their planes out with 10 minute warnings.

00:16:48.040 And they had loaded all of their missiles.

00:16:51.140 They had also taken all of their missiles out of the protected shelters, opened up the blast doors.

00:16:57.880 They were ready to launch.

00:17:00.380 If it wasn't for the little red phone, hey, call me.

00:17:06.520 We probably all would have been vaporized.

00:17:09.260 But that has that maneuver, you know, the where they're where they're just trying to just have a military X, you know, exercise, you know, that that is just to see what we would do if the Soviet Union would launch a nuclear deterrent.

00:17:29.260 You know, what would our deterrent be?

00:17:30.520 What do we do?

00:17:31.640 You know, NATO got together.

00:17:33.040 We did it every year.

00:17:34.000 We haven't done in a long time.

00:17:35.060 But NATO has decided with the United States.

00:17:38.000 Now is the time to try that again.

00:17:41.800 You know, because the trust is so high.

00:17:46.620 These people are going to get us killed.

00:17:50.180 Have you ever been in a situation like, I don't know, you're, you're driving, incredible alcohol, and he's like, no, I got it.

00:18:05.440 And he's swerving all around the road, and you're like, oh, God, we're going to die.

00:18:09.620 No, it's fine.

00:18:11.060 I drive all the time, and I'm not drunk.

00:18:14.100 Okay, that's when somebody says, stop the car.

00:18:20.720 No, we're almost home.

00:18:23.340 20 minutes, we'll be there.

00:18:24.980 Stop the car.

00:18:26.440 I'm either driving or I'm getting out.

00:18:29.820 I wish we could get out, but we can't.

00:18:33.400 What we can do is elect a new driver.

00:18:37.080 You know, one that shouldn't have his license taken away.

00:18:40.360 What do you say we do that, kids, in just a few weeks?

00:18:45.760 Hmm?

00:18:46.600 We vote.

00:18:48.040 Because all of his drunk friends are in the car, too, going, hey, shut up.

00:18:52.340 He's fine.

00:18:53.380 He's totally fine.

00:18:54.540 Aren't you questioning?

00:18:55.500 Do you see what's happening?

00:18:56.640 He's totally fine.

00:18:58.200 Leave him alone.

00:18:59.120 Let's get the friends out of the car.

00:19:01.820 So then we can actually talk to the driver and see, hey, can you walk a straight line, dude?

00:19:07.440 Because you're going to get us all killed.

00:19:10.360 You remember when it started, the pain?

00:19:15.520 Maybe it was something that happened to you slowly over time.

00:19:18.280 Or did you just wake up one day and go, oh, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

00:19:23.180 I love that.

00:19:24.280 That's my favorite kind of pain, where you're totally fine, and then you bend over or you

00:19:27.860 do something, you turn, and you're like, ow, ow, ow.

00:19:31.960 Remember when you were a kid and you could sleep in any position on anything?

00:19:38.720 You could sleep on bleachers, okay?

00:19:41.940 And you'd wake up fine.

00:19:43.860 Now your pillow's not fluffed just right, and you're like, ow, ow, ow for a week.

00:20:15.460 10 seconds.

00:20:16.140 Station ID.

00:20:19.500 Yeah.

00:20:20.960 That's pretty good.

00:20:23.020 Yeah.

00:20:27.280 So I'm looking for that very slight recession to happen sometime next year.

00:20:33.980 Nobody's saying that.

00:20:35.660 Nobody is saying that.

00:20:37.060 Did you see the Federal Reserve just transferred $3.5 billion?

00:20:45.020 Over to Switzerland?

00:20:47.880 I don't know how we found out.

00:20:49.340 They don't have to usually say it, but for some reason, we found out about it.

00:20:53.040 They did it a couple of days ago.

00:20:54.420 Remember when I was giving the monologue, I think, a couple of days ago?

00:20:57.020 And I said, look, it's going to take us two years to find out, but I guarantee they are transferring

00:21:02.740 your money, your money, your money, over to Credit Suisse.

00:21:08.700 Now, they won't tell us what bank in Switzerland, but I have a sneaky suspicion it's the one who's like,

00:21:16.180 hair on fire, hair on fire.

00:21:18.300 So we got that going on, but don't worry about it.

00:21:22.640 Everything's fine.

00:21:24.060 It's great.

00:21:25.220 What?

00:21:28.360 I feel fine.

00:21:30.020 I had a great night's sleep last night.

00:21:32.340 Have you ever seen such a, like, blatant attempt to buy an election, to lie until, just get

00:21:46.900 us past this November date, we'll say anything, we'll do anything, we'll spend anything.

00:21:52.420 I feel like that's what you're talking about.

00:21:53.780 I've never seen anything like this before, no, no.

00:21:57.700 Nine.

00:21:59.040 Nine.

00:21:59.720 Election fraud, nine!

00:22:01.880 I've never seen it.

00:22:03.440 They just, they're buying off students, they're...

00:22:08.420 Wait, you think you've heard the lies?

00:22:14.700 Okay, like, for instance, now, you were just talking about the buying off students.

00:22:19.420 Student loan thing.

00:22:20.260 Yeah, not supposed to do that, right?

00:22:22.020 Right.

00:22:22.420 Yesterday, he comes out and says, Supreme Court is like an activist group now, it's

00:22:26.900 not even a court, and so they're doing it anyway.

00:22:30.960 Okay, all right, but you haven't heard anything.

00:22:33.820 You haven't heard anything.

00:22:37.140 Wait until I show you, and compare and contrast, two speeches on what the government has done,

00:22:45.240 what the president has done to save you money, and how it's working.

00:22:48.940 Next.

00:22:49.520 The Glenn Back Program.

00:22:50.120 Oh my God, it's gonna blow.

00:22:52.020 All right, so maybe you're one of those ambitious people who actually make your own dog food

00:22:58.440 at home.

00:22:59.340 Yeah.

00:22:59.920 Tried doing that for a while.

00:23:01.580 A lot of work.

00:23:02.840 A lot of work.

00:23:04.040 Dog liked it.

00:23:05.740 Me and my wife, not so much.

00:23:07.360 But I am aware, as sure as you are, kibble food is just, it doesn't have the stuff in it.

00:23:14.420 The good stuff's all cooked out in the manufacturing process.

00:23:17.960 When we were cooking Uno's food, we were still putting, you know, rough greens on it as well.

00:23:23.380 We want him to have the absolute best.

00:23:25.560 We want him to have a great, healthy life.

00:23:28.700 I don't want to get in the situation again.

00:23:31.160 It's too soon.

00:23:32.240 I don't want to get in the situation again where he's in pain, and you know it, and you're like,

00:23:35.660 oh, I can't put you down, and it's just horrible.

00:23:39.720 Horrible.

00:23:40.680 Keep your dog healthy and alive and young for as long as they can with Rough Greens.

00:24:22.260 Hello, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:26.080 Glad you're here.

00:24:27.860 So, Stu, you're going to love this.

00:24:29.640 You are going to love this.

00:24:32.460 All right.

00:24:33.100 Okay, so we've got something here.

00:24:34.780 Side by side, we have two speeches given by President Biden.

00:24:42.140 He gave one in December and the other one in March.

00:24:47.160 Okay?

00:24:48.600 And somebody has taken these and put them together side by side.

00:24:53.340 So, this is purportedly four months apart.

00:24:58.740 Okay.

00:24:59.440 Okay?

00:25:00.220 Four months apart.

00:25:02.000 I want you to listen to the details on this, because you don't give an update on something

00:25:08.000 four months apart without the details changing, right?

00:25:12.480 Well, yeah, obviously.

00:25:13.360 So, running them together side by side.

00:25:15.980 You will hear the one in December and the one in March at the same time.

00:25:22.180 Listen.

00:25:23.280 I've used every tool available to address price increases.

00:25:27.580 And it's beginning to work.

00:25:29.020 Take gasoline and gas prices.

00:25:30.820 Last week, I announced the largest ever release from the United States Petroleum Reserve to increase the supply of oil and help bring down prices.

00:25:40.700 And I brought together other nations, India, Japan, the United Kingdom, Japan, the United Kingdom, all agreed to join me in releasing additional oil from their reserves.

00:25:50.380 China may very do well as well.

00:25:53.740 This worldwide effort we're leading won't solve the problem of high gas prices overnight.

00:25:59.420 But over the last month, and likely due in part to the anticipation of this action, we've seen the price of oil and gas prices on the wholesale market come down significantly.

00:26:08.560 In fact, since the end of October, the average weekly price of gasoline on the wholesale market has fallen around 10%.

00:26:17.360 So now, either one of those, and I would imagine, well, I mean, it could have been the one with the holly on the mantle or the other one.

00:26:30.220 Maybe one of them is just like AI.

00:26:33.480 I don't know.

00:26:34.380 But how do you give exactly, word for word, the same speech, four months apart, about what you've just recently done?

00:26:44.860 Right.

00:26:45.280 Like if you said last week, I mean, unless coincidentally, at these, both of these weeks, the previous week, the exact same percentage change had occurred.

00:26:54.880 Changed, yeah.

00:26:55.640 Which would be unlikely.

00:26:56.860 Yeah.

00:26:57.220 Yeah, that's weird.

00:26:59.440 Yeah, that's weird, isn't it?

00:27:00.120 They just copy and pasted essentially one speech and then re, like, did it as a rerun.

00:27:05.680 That's what it appears.

00:27:06.920 Four months later.

00:27:07.700 That's what it appears as.

00:27:10.940 And you'd think the president would say, guys, I've already given this speech like four months ago.

00:27:14.480 Oh, he wouldn't know.

00:27:15.280 He wouldn't know.

00:27:15.860 In a normal circumstance, the president would recognize that he was giving a word for word speech.

00:27:19.660 There is no such thing as a normal.

00:27:21.900 Remember, that's what everybody hired this guy for.

00:27:24.320 Yeah, return to normality.

00:27:25.680 Return to normal.

00:27:26.580 I mean, let's just go back to return to normal.

00:27:29.500 It's been a great trip.

00:27:31.420 Yeah.

00:27:31.880 Hey, do we have the cut of Bill Maher and Dave Rubin yet?

00:27:38.060 Find out if we have this.

00:27:39.180 We do?

00:27:39.680 I want you to listen to this.

00:27:40.780 Now, this is Bill Maher and Dave Rubin.

00:27:43.420 Dave Rubin was over at Bill Maher's house, and they taped an episode, okay, of Dave's show.

00:27:51.640 Okay.

00:27:52.280 And it's quite interesting.

00:27:55.720 You can watch the whole thing on Blaze TV.

00:27:57.920 It's quite interesting.

00:27:59.660 You're going to learn something about Bill Maher, and this is an honest thing about Bill Maher.

00:28:04.760 Listen to them as they're talking about how the left believes the right is just this conspiracy machine, and we get upset about nothing.

00:28:17.320 And they start talking about how discredited Donald Trump was by the left side.

00:28:26.560 Listen to this.

00:28:27.660 Listen, if you can't concede the election, the jewel in our crown of America is that every other country's had problems with the peaceful transfer.

00:28:36.860 That's like the one that really trips everybody up, and it didn't trip us up until him, and now it's going to trip us up.

00:28:44.260 Wait, but that's not—so I disagree with that, because for four years when he was president, Hillary Clinton, he's an illegitimate president.

00:28:50.880 She didn't say that?

00:28:51.900 Yes, she did.

00:28:52.400 It's on Twitter.

00:28:53.120 It's on Twitter.

00:28:53.780 He's an illegitimate—yes, it is.

00:28:55.520 It is, 100%.

00:28:56.960 Okay, if she said—I don't remember that.

00:28:59.400 It is, it is.

00:29:00.320 It's certainly not something that's in the minds of the people in this country.

00:29:04.160 It was not promulgated.

00:29:05.820 Maybe she said it once in some different context.

00:29:09.520 To compare that, like Hillary Clinton says he's not—he has made a career of—

00:29:15.320 Bill, I mean this with total respect.

00:29:17.580 I think, to me, that's a blind spot with you that—

00:29:20.600 That Hillary Clinton—

00:29:21.280 No, when you just said that nobody really paid attention to that or anything, a huge percent of the country, half the country,

00:29:27.280 saw Hillary calling him.

00:29:28.620 There's a tweet.

00:29:29.320 I mean, I can give you the tweet after.

00:29:30.880 Okay, it's one tweet.

00:29:32.220 No, no, no, no.

00:29:32.400 He has made a career of this.

00:29:34.020 But what do you mean?

00:29:34.660 How many guests—I honestly don't know the answer to this, so I don't want to make about you.

00:29:38.800 But how many people were on MSNBC for four years saying he's a Russian operative or Russia installed him or—you know what I mean?

00:29:45.540 I'm not even trying to defend Trump.

00:29:47.940 Okay, so here's the thing that you should learn from that.

00:29:51.220 Do you remember when we had Riyaz Patel here?

00:29:53.820 Yeah.

00:29:54.000 And he was a liberal Hollywood guy, and he started doing his homework, and he's like, wow, I'm not being told the truth about Trump supporters.

00:30:03.420 And we became friends, and I invited him here.

00:30:06.460 And one day we realized this guy honestly didn't know what had happened the previous eight years.

00:30:15.560 And I said, Riyaz, can we sit down here for a second?

00:30:21.240 I brought a chalkboard.

00:30:22.300 And remember, Stu and I and maybe Pat, we put down all of the stories that had happened to see if he even knew about any of them.

00:30:32.220 For instance, the, you know, IRS investigation, the truth on Benghazi, the truth on, you know, a lot of different things.

00:30:44.420 I can't remember any of them right now.

00:30:45.860 But—and we went through them.

00:30:47.680 He honestly didn't know.

00:30:49.360 And when he—when I said, he said, that's not true.

00:30:52.900 And you were there, and you were, like, pulling it up online.

00:30:55.700 There's the story.

00:30:57.120 Oh, that's a story one time ran on page 22 of the New York Times.

00:31:04.800 You know, they report these things, but people don't see them because they don't—they never bring them up again.

00:31:12.440 If they report them, they never bring it up again.

00:31:15.340 And then somehow or another, they're blind to all of the things, and maybe it's because they just accept it.

00:31:24.040 You know, they don't even hear that.

00:31:26.400 So much of it, too, is the surrounding coverage, right?

00:31:28.980 Where, you know, Hillary Clinton can say he's an illegitimate president. 1.00

00:31:34.320 Everyone can say that Donald Trump was a Russian operative.

00:31:37.840 And the reaction to that by the media and the people who get paid to put context around this is, yes, we're doing the investigations, and soon the walls are closing in.

00:31:47.480 Soon we're going to have this guy on this.

00:31:49.300 That's how it's presented.

00:31:50.260 And the opposite, obviously, goes on here.

00:31:53.740 The second—even an accusation of, you know, something from the election, it was immediately dismissed as a conspiracy theory.

00:32:01.520 Now, again, you could say all you want about the facts on those cases, but the surrounding context immediately points a viewer who trusts the media—

00:32:12.020 Correct.

00:32:12.080 —to believe one of two things.

00:32:14.340 Correct.

00:32:14.600 And, you know, look, she—the coverage around Trump—I mean, Rubin is right there.

00:32:20.700 I mean, it was something like 40-some-odd percent of Democrats believed he was not even elected legitimately.

00:32:28.400 The same thing with George W. Bush.

00:32:30.120 Yeah.

00:32:30.420 Yeah, it was half—half of Democrats believed that 9-11 was an inside job.

00:32:38.280 By George Bush.

00:32:39.200 Half.

00:32:39.640 Half.

00:32:40.140 Half.

00:32:41.160 You want to talk about conspiracy theorists?

00:32:43.480 Half.

00:32:43.880 That's the—I mean, that's what made Alex Jones known to the public, was that conspiracy, the 9-11 conspiracy theory.

00:32:50.620 Now, because Alex Jones is seen as a right-wing figure, everyone's reversed their position on this.

00:32:55.380 Right.

00:32:55.660 But that was his theory, and it was Democrats who believed it throughout that entire period.

00:33:01.600 So we're looking at half the nation that really—they're not necessarily in denial.

00:33:08.280 They really don't know.

00:33:09.920 They haven't heard about the things that are really going on.

00:33:14.120 They don't know all of it.

00:33:16.300 You know, how many times have you been told that, oh, yeah, ESG, that's all a conspiracy theory.

00:33:23.260 So they say that on CBS, and so they tune that out.

00:33:27.840 If there's ever a story, they're like, ah, it's a conspiracy theory.

00:33:30.300 And so they don't know what's going on.

00:33:33.860 Yeah, the media allows this sort of off-ramp for everybody in the left.

00:33:37.660 Yes.

00:33:38.040 You don't have to look at—you don't have to look at the Hunter Biden laptop.

00:33:40.640 Right.

00:33:40.820 It's a conspiracy theory.

00:33:42.140 Don't bother looking at it.

00:33:43.060 You don't need to learn about it.

00:33:44.260 Right.

00:33:44.380 It's not true.

00:33:44.940 And then you get that off-ramp immediately when there's a story that's unpleasant for your side.

00:33:50.580 And you get to live in this sort of bubble where you're protected from all the bad news of the things that happen to your chosen candidates.

00:33:57.520 Right.

00:33:57.700 We have to find a way to start just boiling things down on the truth on stories.

00:34:03.320 You know, get the newsletter every day.

00:34:07.460 I have a morning email.

00:34:08.980 It's my show prep.

00:34:10.580 And there's probably anywhere from 40 to 60 stories in it every single day.

00:34:15.360 And it is what I and my staff assemble for 24 hours.

00:34:20.280 Actually, 21 hours.

00:34:21.860 In between shows, we assemble that.

00:34:24.600 And then it's what I read.

00:34:27.060 You know, I read much more than that.

00:34:28.540 But these are the things we've narrowed it down to that have a chance of getting on the show.

00:34:33.980 And I want you to read it because you will get an education on what's going on.

00:34:38.960 And you will see it's much bigger than even you think.

00:34:49.020 Now, tonight, on my Wednesday night special, President Biden is buying votes.

00:34:58.280 He's buying votes with student loans.

00:35:02.240 He announced that he's pardoning everybody convicted of marijuana possession.

00:35:07.460 This is on the top of the things that the White House is prioritizing.

00:35:12.540 Student loan, marijuana, sex chain surgeries for children, abortion.

00:35:17.760 But that's that's it's game changing for America.

00:35:20.520 But that's not what most people are talking about.

00:35:22.880 Has there ever been a White House and a majority in Congress that is more out of touch with the real concerns of the average American tonight?

00:35:32.120 A serious discussion of what this election is really about, what mainstream media is missing and what the polls are telling us.

00:35:42.140 We have the guy who does Trafalgar, what the polls are telling us that maybe you're not hearing.

00:35:49.300 Join me tonight.

00:35:50.320 Election of consequence.

00:35:51.760 What the polls are not telling you tonight, 9 p.m.

00:35:59.760 The convenience of modern American life sometimes complicates our efforts to maintain our values.

00:36:06.040 For instance, not all that long ago, if you wanted to have a good cell phone coverage, you had to go with the big boys.

00:36:11.680 Companies like Verizon.

00:36:12.920 Wait until I tell you the latest.

00:36:14.320 So, you know, you didn't have a lot of choice, even if you knew that they were donating, donating to Planned Parenthood and leftist causes.

00:36:23.240 You couldn't do anything about it.

00:36:24.960 Well, it's not that way anymore.

00:36:26.540 Since Patriot Mobile came along, Patriot Mobile shares your values and won't send your hard earned money to aid in the destruction of America.

00:36:35.040 They work for things that you believe in, not against them.

00:36:40.200 And they also do the basic job really well.

00:36:43.860 You get the same coverage because they're on the same cell cell towers.

00:36:47.220 You get a better price.

00:36:49.920 You get a really happy customer help team.

00:36:54.780 And did I mention great price?

00:37:20.440 Hello and welcome to the program.

00:37:41.540 Can I ask you what reasonable human being that actually cares about other human beings is looking at the situation in Europe and thinking, yeah, we got to cut.

00:37:53.680 We got to shut down those nuclear power plants.

00:37:56.640 Yeah.

00:37:56.820 I mean, we scheduled them.

00:37:58.060 So they're already.

00:37:59.180 I mean, let's just keep them.

00:38:00.260 You would be if it were me and it was just me and my family and it meant that they were going to freeze to death or not freeze to death.

00:38:10.860 I think I would say, hey, let's crank those babies up. 1.00

00:38:14.980 You know what I mean?

00:38:15.720 Why wouldn't you do that?

00:38:19.100 What the hell is going on?

00:38:21.940 These people don't care about the average person.

00:38:25.640 They have their ideology.

00:38:27.520 It's Malthusian.

00:38:29.060 They have their ideology and they're just going to go forward.

00:38:32.860 They don't care.

00:38:34.260 They don't care.

00:38:35.860 You can read about this and so much more in today's in newsletter today.

00:38:41.940 There's a couple of things that I'm just not going to get get to.

00:38:44.900 Biden calls Supreme Court more of an advocacy group than an even handed court.

00:38:49.560 Despite the legal challenges, the White House has unveiled a simple student loan forgiveness application where you don't even need any proof or identification.

00:38:57.800 You just you just fill it out.

00:38:59.560 Well, we found that that's been a good practice in the past.

00:39:02.220 Right.

00:39:02.560 You know, with mortgages and so many other things.

00:39:04.800 We have a group of New York sheriffs say they are not going to aggressively enforce the new gun control law.

00:39:10.660 Oh, my gosh.

00:39:11.540 By the way, FBI's own stats.

00:39:14.020 Read about it in today's newsletter at Glenn Beck dot com.

00:39:16.980 FBI over twice as many were stabbed to death, then killed with rifles.

00:39:23.680 Hmm.

00:39:24.280 So that's an amazing story.

00:39:26.380 Although Biden yesterday was bragging about how he's going to get an assault weapons ban.

00:39:29.820 Yeah.

00:39:30.080 Which is important.

00:39:30.900 Yeah, right.

00:39:32.080 If he hasn't done it yet, you better hurry.

00:39:35.560 Please don't.

00:39:36.480 Yeah, I know.

00:39:36.940 Also, FBI offered Christopher Steele a million dollars if he if they could just cooperate the Trump allegations.

00:39:46.300 Is that how we is that how we operate in the FBI now?

00:39:49.220 Is that is that it?

00:39:50.500 Oh, by the way.

00:39:52.500 No big deal.

00:39:53.720 No big deal.

00:39:54.420 These these companies believe so deeply in the freedom of their fellow man.

00:40:00.960 Now, they can all they can all freeze to death, whatever.

00:40:04.960 But I am so upset with Russia that I'm just going to abandon all of our property there. 1.00

00:40:11.300 Nissan announced on Tuesday that the company is going to sell all operations in Russia to an entity of the nation's government.

00:40:21.240 So, Nissan, Nissan, everything that they had and owned for manufacturing, for car sales, the car lot, everything they sold.

00:40:37.820 They sold to Russia for the for the outrageous price of one euro.

00:40:44.800 Oh, because I I'm fascinated by that.

00:40:49.080 Like, is that supposed to be me mean to Russia?

00:40:52.720 I you're giving them all your assets for a dollar.

00:40:55.360 I understand that like the it might look bad to take money from Russia right now, which is probably their thought here.

00:41:00.300 But like, no, here's what they're doing.

00:41:02.180 They're punishing Russia.

00:41:03.100 But they're also saying, hey, don't forget, we're kind of on your side because when this all blows over, we're we'd like to come back and sell more cars.

00:41:10.260 So just take all that.

00:41:11.840 Just take it.

00:41:13.180 Mea culpa.

00:41:13.720 I think that's what it is.

00:41:15.260 Wow.

00:41:15.860 Yeah.

00:41:16.960 Yeah.

00:41:17.480 Oh, we don't care.

00:41:18.420 We just want to get rid of it.

00:41:19.900 You know, Russia can take it.

00:41:21.760 How many billions of dollars have companies from all over the world left behind?

00:41:27.340 Why?

00:41:27.980 Because of ESG and buy back program.

00:41:31.040 So you asked for quality belts.

00:41:33.440 You asked for quality wallets.

00:43:01.980 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:30.400 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:36.040 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:38.640 This is one of the most amazing times in American history.

00:43:43.200 I don't know if there's ever been a time quite like this where half the country is either part of this I hate America, which I don't think is true, or they've been duped or almost hypnotized into this totalitarian bent that we're seeing now from the left.

00:44:04.840 Democrats are only talking about things that I don't think anyone else is talking about.

00:44:12.080 The average American, both Democrat and Republican, I believe, not the ones in Washington, not the ones who are, you know, really diehard, you know, Republican.

00:44:22.380 And I die for the party or Democrat, I die for the party or Democrat, I die for the party.

00:44:26.160 Those people forget about it.

00:44:27.820 I'm talking about your neighbor that may vote differently than you.

00:44:31.780 I think they're affected by inflation.

00:44:35.520 They're seeing gas prices.

00:44:37.320 They're seeing what's going on.

00:44:39.680 And yet the polls reflect that it's close.

00:44:43.940 I'm not sure that's true.

00:44:46.340 So this hour, I'm going to talk to a couple of people.

00:44:49.800 We have Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.

00:44:52.560 He's going to be on with us in about 30 minutes.

00:44:55.260 And Congresswoman Beth Van Dyne, she is, she was in the only district that Biden won in and a Republican picked up a seat.

00:45:07.440 And it's her seat.

00:45:08.940 It was close last time.

00:45:11.700 What is she hearing on the streets compared to what is she hearing in Washington from politicians?

00:45:17.540 We begin in 60 seconds.

00:45:20.620 Some companies do a really good job.

00:45:23.080 That is to say, they sell a great product and then they get out of your way.

00:45:25.780 That's great.

00:45:26.560 But then some companies go above and beyond the call of duty and rise to truly extraordinary.

00:45:33.200 Right now, my Patriot Supply is still donating 10% of all of their proceeds to Mercury One's relief efforts in Florida.

00:45:41.900 So, you know, two days ago, I got a number that that is over a million dollars now.

00:45:48.500 That is remarkable for this company to do.

00:45:53.160 We didn't ask them.

00:45:54.540 They volunteered.

00:45:56.260 My Patriot Supply, please, you need to have a stockpile of emergency food from My Patriot Supply.

00:46:02.300 If you haven't ordered yours yet, don't wait around.

00:46:06.080 You know, anything could happen at any time.

00:46:08.700 Go to preparewithglenn.com.

00:46:11.060 Preparewithglenn.com.

00:46:12.200 They have a 20% discount on their three-month emergency food kit when you order at preparewithglenn.com.

00:46:18.160 So, you get the 20% discount, plus they give 10% of their proceeds to the Florida Relief.

00:46:26.140 These guys have really been amazing.

00:46:29.360 Preparewithglenn.com.

00:46:31.160 Preparewithglenn.com.

00:46:32.340 Go there now.

00:46:34.520 Welcome, Congresswoman Beth Van Dyne.

00:46:37.160 How are you?

00:46:37.740 I'm good.

00:46:38.420 Good to see you.

00:46:39.320 It's good to see you, too.

00:46:40.280 It's been a little while.

00:46:40.580 You know, I was thinking about you the other day and I thought, she doesn't call, she doesn't write, but we'll always have clock boy.

00:46:46.020 Oh, he's half clock boy. 0.89

00:46:47.840 You're right down the street.

00:46:48.920 I can come by any time when I'm home.

00:46:50.320 I know, I know.

00:46:51.420 How are you?

00:46:52.180 I'm good.

00:46:52.720 I'm good.

00:46:53.260 You know, it's been 20 months now since I've been in office and I think it's probably the most unique freshman experience ever.

00:47:00.440 I got sworn in January 3rd, right?

00:47:02.300 Then we had January 6th happen.

00:47:04.460 Then we had impeachment vote after that.

00:47:07.020 We were in a time of COVID where we were separated, you know, physical distance and then we all had to wear masks.

00:47:14.340 It has been a divisive time in Congress as well as the rest of the country, but it's been a while, 20 months.

00:47:19.840 You know, I was watching Parliament the other day because I'm a complete geek and I'm watching Parliament and they're like, order, order, and they're just yelling at each other.

00:47:29.320 And I used to hate that.

00:47:31.480 But I watched it this time and I thought, at least they're debating.

00:47:36.520 I don't ever see anything where the chamber is full and you're actually debating stuff.

00:47:45.240 It's usually just somebody standing in front of a chart, giving a speech to no one in the chamber.

00:47:50.980 Is that accurate?

00:47:51.980 That is absolutely accurate.

00:47:53.480 And, you know, I don't know how much of this is COVID related because I've got members on the other side of the aisle who have not been there since COVID started.

00:48:01.800 So, we have been voting by proxy.

00:48:04.360 We have been having committee votes.

00:48:06.440 We have been having committee meetings by Zoom.

00:48:09.160 And they just haven't – they have their offices closed.

00:48:11.900 Their staff doesn't come in.

00:48:13.580 They don't meet with folks in D.C.

00:48:16.360 You know, when they have their constituents come to D.C., they're not there.

00:48:19.480 Wow.

00:48:21.840 So, how bad is the disconnect between what you hear from constituents and what you hear from the political people in Washington, D.C.?

00:48:34.660 It is really disconnected.

00:48:36.500 When I am in the district, we've had over 100 roundtables and business tours.

00:48:40.740 We've gone out.

00:48:41.420 I mean, that's my job is to go out and find out what people here want me to be saying in D.C.,

00:48:46.760 how they want to be represented, what their priorities and concerns and their issues and what scares them and what they want me to do about it.

00:48:54.840 That's why they want me there.

00:48:56.200 Right.

00:48:56.400 And that's why you – Congress has such a short period.

00:48:59.540 You're running pretty much all the time.

00:49:01.740 Every two years.

00:49:01.780 All the time.

00:49:02.340 Because you've got two years.

00:49:04.440 Your term is two years.

00:49:05.580 You're in and out.

00:49:06.700 And that was made by our founders.

00:49:09.740 On purpose.

00:49:10.340 On purpose.

00:49:10.980 To make sure you stay connected with your constituents.

00:49:13.540 Exactly right.

00:49:14.040 What I'm hearing is, you know, economy, number one.

00:49:16.980 People are really upset that their paychecks are so much smaller now.

00:49:22.060 They might be getting more per hour more.

00:49:25.200 But when we look at and take into account inflation, you know, if you do the math, 8.3 percent, which, let's face it, it's higher than that.

00:49:31.860 But let's just go with 8.3 percent.

00:49:33.800 Right.

00:49:34.320 You know, for argument's sake.

00:49:36.040 But 8.3 percent is basically like taking an entire month's paycheck and burning it.

00:49:40.140 When you do the math and you think about that.

00:49:42.580 So everybody is taking one paycheck.

00:49:45.040 Democrats have basically burned from everybody's wallet.

00:49:49.400 They're affected by that.

00:49:50.660 When you start looking at gas prices, which were, let's face it, I know that the Biden administration keeps wanting to blame, you know, the Russian war in Ukraine.

00:49:58.640 And now they're blaming the Saudis.

00:49:59.840 Every month it was going up ever since this president took office.

00:50:04.120 And it's because of his policies.

00:50:06.100 Inflation is because of their lack of fiduciary responsibility.

00:50:10.000 But again, their policies.

00:50:11.480 Spending like crazy people trillions and trillions of dollars more than any other administration has ever spent in the first 20 months.

00:50:18.380 More debt than we've ever accumulated in our country's history.

00:50:22.300 That's what people are talking about.

00:50:23.760 They're upset about things like not having baby formula on the shelves.

00:50:28.740 Still.

00:50:29.220 Still.

00:50:30.040 Still.

00:50:30.880 Yeah.

00:50:31.360 There's upset really about the border.

00:50:33.220 I mean, we're in Texas.

00:50:34.900 You think about the border crime that we've got going down there.

00:50:37.840 You think about the millions and millions of people that have entered our country illegally and how that affects our communities.

00:50:43.500 The fentanyl that this administration does not even have a plan, won't even admit that there's a problem.

00:50:49.500 That is what people at home are talking about.

00:50:51.260 It is incredible to me that human trafficking is now a billion-dollar industry on our border.

00:51:00.980 And nobody seems to care.

00:51:04.020 They said that it's gone from a mom and pop.

00:51:06.060 When you talk to the people who are down on the border, they said it's gone from a mom and pop operation to now like Coca-Cola.

00:51:10.700 That it is that organized, it is that wide and expansive, and they're making billions of dollars.

00:51:18.180 So what are the people in Washington?

00:51:22.560 Do they really think, the Democrats, that they've got a winning message?

00:51:30.060 Or do they know they're in trouble?

00:51:31.700 So when you talk to folks one-on-one, when the cameras aren't on, Democrats will admit that they're in trouble.

00:51:40.520 That they will admit that fiscally, that Biden has not been exactly what you'd consider responsible.

00:51:48.280 And that people in their district are talking about it.

00:51:50.280 They will admit that.

00:51:51.640 Not everybody will admit that.

00:51:53.460 But, you know, and they won't admit that publicly.

00:51:56.340 But yes, they are hearing from their constituents just like we're hearing from ours.

00:52:01.700 And the arguments are the same.

00:52:03.480 But then they say that, and then you look at the board at the end of a vote, and you're like, every Democrat voted yes.

00:52:11.180 To spending more money, to being more fiscally irresponsible, to sending billions of dollars outside of our country, to hiring, you know, 87,000 IRS agents, but ignoring that we even have a border problem.

00:52:25.760 So there's one thing that they'll say, but there's something else that they vote.

00:52:28.580 And that's the most frustrating part.

00:52:30.660 Because, you know, some of these folks, I'm going to give them credit, some of these folks really are smart when you talk to them, and you just shake your head at their votes.

00:52:38.220 Because it doesn't reflect in their votes that they've got, you know, a brain cell.

00:52:41.200 What do people in the district, when you're talking to the average person, what do they think about war and Putin and all of that?

00:52:53.220 You know, this is something that Republicans had been warning for over a year, ever since our botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

00:53:02.640 When we started talking about the lack of leadership there, how when you're allowing terrorists to basically control your foreign policy, what message that was sending out.

00:53:12.900 We said exactly what was going to happen.

00:53:17.400 You are empowering folks in Russia.

00:53:20.800 You are empowering, you know, the government in China.

00:53:26.880 So when Russia went and actually, you know, Putin went into Ukraine, I don't think it shocked many people.

00:53:33.200 We knew that that was going to happen.

00:53:35.480 China going into Taiwan will probably be next. 0.94

00:53:37.960 Again, it is our foreign policy that dictates that.

00:53:41.640 It's not only our foreign policy.

00:53:42.940 It is the fact that this is the worst track record.

00:53:50.260 And I mean this sincerely.

00:53:52.600 This is not hyperbole.

00:53:53.800 I'm not just throwing them out of the box.

00:53:55.060 This is sincere.

00:53:55.940 I challenge anyone to show me somebody who has made more mistakes, quote unquote, more mistakes than this guy and this administration.

00:54:07.960 But everything they have done works to the disadvantage of America.

00:54:14.220 And I'm, you know, you quickly get to the point to where you're like, no one can, the odds of being wrong and have it work.

00:54:23.480 A hundred percent of the time.

00:54:24.640 Right.

00:54:24.940 A hundred percent of the time.

00:54:25.940 Not in our favor.

00:54:26.880 It just doesn't have that.

00:54:28.280 The odds are too astronomical.

00:54:30.020 It depends what your goal is.

00:54:31.220 Correct.

00:54:32.120 And, you know, are you wrong a hundred percent of the time?

00:54:34.520 It depends what the goal is.

00:54:36.240 You know, and I would argue that what's happening at the border, they're turning a blind eye because they don't want to actually have to face that exactly what they wanted to happen is happening.

00:54:44.460 They don't want to have to admit that if they go down there and they talk to people who work there.

00:54:47.680 But we have had millions of people enter this country illegally.

00:54:50.120 We have had, you know, a Democrat party who's wanting to have their own rule for votes on opening that voting rules up for the entire country with H.R.1, where they wanted to have people who entered our country illegally be able to vote. 0.89

00:55:07.140 They want to be able to have people who are 16 vote.

00:55:09.300 They wanted to not have voter I.D.

00:55:12.500 So you think about that plan and you can start easily thinking, well, maybe their goal is to have millions of people come into this country illegally because they're hoping that they're going to vote for them and change the way that our country looks. 0.95

00:55:24.000 You were just in Asia, were you not?

00:55:27.100 What are they saying about this?

00:55:29.600 This is the scary part.

00:55:30.680 You know, I know that I go home and I talk to my constituents and they don't like what they see.

00:55:34.560 But it's not just at home.

00:55:36.820 I was in South Korea for a week.

00:55:39.140 I came home and then I was in Cambodia and Singapore.

00:55:42.960 All of these countries are drastically different from one another.

00:55:46.380 But they all had the same message.

00:55:48.680 The U.S. right now is void.

00:55:50.600 And where there's a void of leadership, China is more than happy to be filling that void.

00:55:54.880 And they are doing that every single day.

00:55:58.680 When you think about the rare earth minerals that they have rights to around the world, 75 percent of our earth's rare minerals and our policies.

00:56:07.700 I believe we have a lot of them up in Alaska, but you'll never get anybody to open those up.

00:56:14.180 Possibly.

00:56:14.780 Yeah.

00:56:15.000 Potentially.

00:56:15.880 You know, the more that we rely on on electric vehicles.

00:56:19.020 Yeah.

00:56:19.380 Where those minerals, cobalt, lithium, nickel, are controlled by China.

00:56:25.920 Yeah.

00:56:26.180 And that's where the Democrats seem to be pushing our future.

00:56:30.040 And whose benefit are those policies working?

00:56:33.180 It's not U.S. 0.96

00:56:34.360 So let me take a quick one-minute break and then I'll come back.

00:56:37.660 And I want to ask you, so what is the plan for Republicans?

00:56:41.720 Because, honestly, Beth, you know this as well as anybody does, Republicans will be done.

00:56:49.820 You'll be done if this is a Congress that just does investigations and does showboat stuff. 0.70

00:56:58.200 You actually have to do something.

00:57:01.240 And I'm shocked at the leadership.

00:57:03.760 I'm not because I don't have faith in the leadership.

00:57:05.620 But I'm shocked that they haven't really come up with a, here's day one, day two, day three, here's what we're going to do.

00:57:14.020 I want to know from you, can a House and a Senate without the White House actually change the direction or at least put fingers in the dike?

00:57:23.900 Yeah.

00:57:24.180 Back in just a second.

00:57:26.040 Maggie wrote in about her experience with Relief Factory.

00:57:28.320 She said, I live on a horse ranch in the Ozarks.

00:57:31.300 My great joy in life has always been horseback riding.

00:57:34.000 But in recent years, I had to cut it back, eventually stop, because my pain in my back was so bad.

00:57:39.900 I was afraid I wasn't going to ever ride again.

00:57:41.800 But then I heard about Relief Factor and I tried it.

00:57:44.520 Glenn, within just a few weeks, the pain had subsided so much that now I'm back in the saddle.

00:57:50.420 I am so glad to hear that, Maggie.

00:57:52.620 There's something about leaving behind the things that you really live for and you really love.

00:57:58.080 And you think, I'm never going to be able to do that again?

00:58:00.720 Relief Factor may be your key to getting back in the saddle, if you will.

00:58:05.880 Relief Factor was developed by doctors.

00:58:08.000 It's not a drug, so it's not going to space you out.

00:58:10.580 But it attacks inflammation four different directions.

00:58:14.620 And inflammation is really the biggest source of our pain and, quite honestly, most of our problems in our body.

00:58:20.060 So try Relief Factor.

00:58:33.580 Ten seconds.

00:58:34.160 Station ID.

00:58:34.660 All right.

00:58:46.640 So we're back in studio with a congresswoman who I just love.

00:58:51.720 She has been in the fight.

00:58:53.920 You were the mayor of this town when I first moved here, right?

00:58:57.880 Yep.

00:58:58.280 2011 to 2017.

00:58:59.920 And you have been in knock-down, drag-out fights for really important things, even as mayor.

00:59:07.740 I didn't know how you did it, but so I'm glad you're in Congress.

00:59:10.840 You helped.

00:59:11.560 You helped.

00:59:12.280 So, Beth, tell me, can they make a difference?

00:59:17.700 And will the Republicans do anything?

00:59:22.100 You know, you're part of a team.

00:59:23.260 So I will play my individual part, my independent part, which is I will continue to fight.

00:59:31.780 I will continue to say what I'm going to do and then do what I say.

00:59:35.300 We have worked in the last 20 months, Republicans have worked on this commitment to America.

00:59:40.100 This is Kevin McCarthy's.

00:59:42.760 So, yes.

00:59:43.980 He announced it.

00:59:44.760 So, Kevin McCarthy, we were all in, well, there's about 30 of us that were in Pittsburgh a couple of weeks ago when we came out with a commitment.

00:59:51.380 When I was in South Korea, I had lunch with Newt Gingrich, and he talked about the contract to America and how you need to tell the people what you stand for.

00:59:59.740 It's one thing in the last 20 months, it seems we've been fighting against what we've seen.

01:00:03.980 But it's not good enough to just say you're going to fight.

01:00:06.240 You also have to say this is what we're going to do.

01:00:07.900 And so the commitment to America was basically these are our priorities.

01:00:11.780 So our priorities are America's priorities.

01:00:13.920 We're looking at safety, what we've seen with crime.

01:00:16.400 We've looked at what's going on at the border.

01:00:18.220 We looked at accountability in government, the fact that we still have proxy voting.

01:00:21.780 We're not getting together.

01:00:22.600 We're not debating as a Congress.

01:00:24.700 You've got Congress who are able to buy with insider information, stock trades.

01:00:28.880 So holding those folks accountable, looking at our future, seeing over the last several years how much freedoms that we have given up,

01:00:36.440 making sure that we are looking at holding on to those freedoms, but also how much money we're spending.

01:00:41.340 Are we going to have a future that is free?

01:00:44.720 Are we going to have a future that our kids, our grandkids, our great-grandkids are going to be constantly paying down debt?

01:00:49.760 And then also looking at the economy.

01:00:51.480 The fourth part of that is looking at the economy and making sure that we are fighting inflation.

01:00:56.540 We are looking at policies that when you throw trillions of dollars into a system, don't be shocked when inflation goes up,

01:01:02.940 but making sure that we're protecting that economy and not demonizing our American businesses.

01:01:08.760 So you're watching what's happening with the banking sector right now.

01:01:12.400 They are freaking out.

01:01:14.400 They weren't freaking out before 2008.

01:01:16.820 They were like, no, no problem here.

01:01:18.380 And like, really?

01:01:19.880 They're freaking out and warning really bad things.

01:01:22.640 They're trying to get the Fed to stop tightening.

01:01:25.960 They're trying to get the Fed to start printing more money.

01:01:30.160 And I have a feeling that's what we're going to get, because you're either going to stop the heart of the economy trying to pull all of this back in,

01:01:39.580 or you're going to keep printing and then we just die through hyperinflation eventually.

01:01:46.820 Do you believe we can pull this back together?

01:01:50.180 I mean, that's a trick that's never been done before.

01:01:52.700 I think in 2008, it was easy to identify what had led up to that.

01:01:56.120 I think looking at the last couple of years under COVID, all of the restrictions, how we pulled back,

01:02:02.400 we did exactly a number of cases, exactly what we should not have done, the opposite of what we should have done.

01:02:07.940 We're now filling those ramifications.

01:02:09.500 And by the way, those ramifications, especially in school kids, we're going to be filling for years.

01:02:13.100 I believe we can get back there.

01:02:14.460 I really do.

01:02:15.100 We've seen what happens with one party rule for two years.

01:02:18.020 It has been a disaster for the country.

01:02:19.900 I think we can walk and chew gum.

01:02:21.340 I think we're going to have to govern and governing on those four major principles that we just talked about.

01:02:26.700 But also having investigations is going to be important.

01:02:29.060 Are you going to rein in the power of the presidency as far as, I mean, he's just doing edicts.

01:02:37.540 If you guys have power and you won't pass anything that he wants, he'll just.

01:02:41.740 It's not just the president, but it's also the president's cabinet.

01:02:44.200 And, you know, we have said from day one on Mayorkas has got to go.

01:02:49.420 Okay.

01:02:49.640 Mayorkas is part of the problem. 1.00

01:02:50.760 There's no doubt in my mind that the man needs to be impeached.

01:02:54.320 So looking at the cabinet members and making sure that if we have the Senate that's going to be responsible for who those folks are, that we have people who will actually be up for the job.

01:03:05.260 It's one thing to have the president be, what, MIA?

01:03:09.320 Let's just be nice and say he's MIA and a vice president who's MIA, but making sure that you've got cabinet members, but also making sure that you're going after those irregularities, those things that have happened in the past, illegal, that need to be addressed.

01:03:23.760 You need to make sure that people understand that people are going to be held accountable.

01:03:27.260 Amen.

01:03:28.160 I hope that is the Biden family and Fauci would be included in that.

01:03:33.520 How do people get involved in your campaign if they want to help?

01:03:36.220 I'd love for them to go to bethfortexas.com.

01:05:37.340 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:05:49.860 Tonight on the Wednesday night special, my program at 9 p.m. Eastern.

01:05:56.640 What the polls aren't telling you.

01:05:58.440 The election is now four weeks away.

01:06:00.380 The White House and the cabinet and Congress and Senate seem to be completely out of touch.

01:06:09.340 Completely out of touch.

01:06:10.720 They're talking about it.

01:06:11.700 It's like they're governing some virtual reality game version of America.

01:06:17.180 Out of touch with the real concerns of both Democrats and Republicans.

01:06:21.160 Tonight, a serious discussion of what this election is really about, what the mainstream media is missing, and what you need to know heading into November.

01:06:30.640 Tonight, election of consequence.

01:06:32.880 What the polls are not telling you.

01:06:34.920 Tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern on blazetv.com.

01:06:38.600 Blaze TV YouTube as well.

01:06:41.120 To continue this conversation, we have Senator Ron Johnson out of Wisconsin, who is running and doing quite well right now.

01:06:52.800 It is close, but I don't know how it's close in reality.

01:06:57.680 Let me give you just some stats on Wisconsin.

01:06:59.980 The inflation increase in overall oil prices, 14%.

01:07:06.560 Monthly inflation costs, $673 per month.

01:07:13.280 Food monthly inflation costs, up $104.

01:07:16.500 Energy, up $159 a month.

01:07:20.300 Meat, poultry, fish, egg prices in the Midwest region have increased by 11%.

01:07:25.000 Dairy prices, dairy.

01:07:26.820 It's Wisconsin.

01:07:28.620 Dairy prices.

01:07:30.500 Have increased by 17.4%.

01:07:34.480 Cereals, bakery prices in the Midwest have now increased by 17.7%.

01:07:40.700 And the best stat of all, you're going to love it.

01:07:44.160 Come to Wisconsin, especially this time of the year when the blood on the sidewalk matches the leaves.

01:07:50.260 Wisconsin has seen 9% rise in violent crime.

01:07:55.100 I can't believe he's not winning with 90% right now.

01:08:00.480 Senator Johnson, welcome to the program.

01:08:02.280 How are you?

01:08:03.560 Good morning, Glenn.

01:08:04.480 It's worse than that.

01:08:05.700 Since 2019, statewide, murders are up 70%.

01:08:08.600 Oh, my gosh.

01:08:10.100 In Milwaukee, they're up 93% since 2019.

01:08:15.100 It's because we have a governor and a lieutenant governor, and I run against Lieutenant Governor Barnes,

01:08:18.980 who pledged, or their goal was to reduce our prison population by 50%.

01:08:23.820 Mandela Barnes, we have him on video saying that reducing prison population is now sexy.

01:08:30.240 No, it's dangerous.

01:08:31.820 And, you know, you can see that in statistics.

01:08:33.880 Now, the way I refer to inflation is a dollar that you held at the start of the Biden administration is now worth only 88.3 cents.

01:08:43.680 If you're a senior on a fixed income, let's see, you were fortunate enough to have a nest egg for ease of calculation, let's say $100,000.

01:08:50.760 That $100,000 is now only worth $88,300.

01:08:54.960 That's what the Biden inflation, what Democrat governance has done to you.

01:08:59.840 And so, you know, I always go through what I call the list of horribles, record inflation, 40-year high inflation, record gas prices, skyrocketing crime, baby formula shortage,

01:09:13.140 the open border flood of illegal immigrants, deadly drugs into our cities. 0.90

01:09:17.720 But what is interesting, in Wisconsin, the people, certainly, that support me, they're obviously being crushed by all those things.

01:09:24.720 They're highly concerned about that.

01:09:25.980 But there's a far more fundamental concern on their minds is that we're just losing this country.

01:09:32.880 I mean, literally, they take a look around and they just look at how insane, you know, what we are trying to do in terms of indoctrinating our children, the wokeness. 1.00

01:09:41.740 You know, biological males competing with our daughters, expecting to shower in their showers. 1.00

01:09:47.180 School administrators injecting our children with gender-blocking drugs and don't tell their parents.

01:09:52.780 Now, in Wisconsin, conservatives are concerned the fact that we are just losing our country.

01:10:00.680 Senator, we're talking to Senator Ron Johnson in Wisconsin.

01:10:04.940 I have to just echo this a bit.

01:10:07.100 I know you've, you know, me for, you know, years.

01:10:10.860 And when I, in 2008, was saying, this is what's coming, I'm still shocked every day I sit in this seat as I see it all unfold.

01:10:23.080 I mean, it's like we're living in a fun house or a crazy house.

01:10:27.780 It's nuts what's happening.

01:10:29.820 When you're talking to the people on the streets, are you seeing any Democrats wake up?

01:10:35.920 Are you seeing the Republicans really motivated to come out and vote?

01:10:42.380 Definitely Republicans are motivated.

01:10:44.740 I certainly have Democrats showing up to our parent meetings because their eyes have been opened up about what has been indoctrinated into their children during COVID.

01:10:55.100 You know, the sad fact, though, is it's hard to get Democrats to put a yard sign out.

01:11:00.980 And it's hard to get a Democrat who truly supports me to maybe go on camera and say, I'm a Democrat.

01:11:07.240 I'm going to support Ron Johnson because he has the courage to tell us the truth because they don't want to be vilified.

01:11:12.520 They don't want to be canceled.

01:11:14.080 People are afraid that we don't have free and open speech in this country anymore.

01:11:21.200 You can say anything you want to if you're a leftist.

01:11:23.220 Don't worry about that whatsoever.

01:11:24.620 But if you're conservative, you've got to better keep your mouth shut if you want to continue to work, if you don't want to be canceled at work, if you don't want to be vilified in society.

01:11:36.480 It's a very sad state of affairs in this country.

01:11:39.400 Well, I will tell you, you're right on this.

01:11:42.000 And that's how we lose the country.

01:11:44.000 If people are not willing to stand up when they see something wrong.

01:11:47.740 I mean, you know, good men willing to do nothing.

01:11:51.900 That's how it ends.

01:11:52.680 So let's go back to crime for a second.

01:11:57.660 You're running against Mandela Barnes.

01:12:00.300 They released almost a thousand violent criminals out, reduced the population by 15 percent.

01:12:07.120 I think you said their goal was 50 percent.

01:12:09.780 He's going around saying that he was endorsed by law enforcement.

01:12:13.520 But I don't think that's true.

01:12:16.720 I think he was for reimagining the the police.

01:12:22.280 Was he not?

01:12:24.240 Well, absolutely.

01:12:25.000 He tried it out.

01:12:25.920 I think nine endorsements from police officers, seven retired to active duty.

01:12:31.280 Those two denied that they endorsed him.

01:12:33.620 He might he might have totaled up something like 20.

01:12:37.180 Now, I am endorsed by 51 of the 72 county sheriffs, police associations, tolling almost forty five hundred police officers.

01:12:46.740 So there's no doubt who, you know, who supports law enforcement and who's supported by law enforcement.

01:12:52.320 But no, he is the code.

01:12:54.540 He uses the code words by Cori Bush, you know, reallocate over bloated police budgets.

01:12:59.840 He says it pains him to see a fully funded police budget.

01:13:03.460 So he is a radical leftist.

01:13:05.600 He said the founding of America was awful.

01:13:09.800 He says our national parks were only produced for the enjoyment of white people and basically calling our national parks racist.

01:13:18.200 No, he is a radical leftist.

01:13:19.860 He's hiding in sheep's clothing.

01:13:21.980 He's by and large been hiding from the press.

01:13:23.880 We've somewhat smoked him out, but he doesn't sit there and take hard questions.

01:13:28.600 And, of course, the mainstream media in Wisconsin here, most of them are complicit.

01:13:33.860 They're corrupt.

01:13:34.580 The problem, Glenn, is the radical left has infiltrated almost every institution of America.

01:13:41.540 I mean, they won't admit it.

01:13:42.820 They won't admit they're radical leftists.

01:13:44.560 They won't admit they're biased in the media.

01:13:46.920 But that's what's happening.

01:13:48.580 And so they're normalizing all these things that we just do.

01:13:51.240 You sit back and look, this is crazy.

01:13:54.820 It's just crazy.

01:13:57.420 But it's being normalized by the media and by the radical leftists in these institutions.

01:14:02.540 Senator, next hour I'm going to be talking about the economy and what is coming.

01:14:05.980 And on my days like today, I look at the economy and I think we've hit the iceberg now.

01:14:16.540 We've just hit it.

01:14:17.940 Economically, we've hit the iceberg.

01:14:19.400 We're at the point to where you can't raise interest rates very much more without collapsing.

01:14:28.600 And you certainly can't lower them or you're just going to stave off hyperinflation if you keep them high.

01:14:37.400 If you don't, you're just going to speed hyperinflation up, in my opinion.

01:14:42.600 You have, you know, accounting in your background.

01:14:49.380 Are we at the point now where it's damn close to a point of no return?

01:14:54.840 Two trillion dollars added to our national debt every single year just from the rising interest rates alone.

01:15:05.100 Yeah, no, listen, I'm highly concerned.

01:15:08.380 The last three years, we've added $7.5 trillion to our debt.

01:15:11.920 We're $31 trillion in debt.

01:15:13.500 If we just return to the interest rates that we had the last three decades of the last century, 5.4 percent.

01:15:18.740 And that's a pretty reasonable interest rate, pretty reasonable rate of return when you're risking owning somebody some money.

01:15:25.400 Right now, we've been keeping interest rates artificially low at 1.4 percent.

01:15:29.720 If we were just to return to that 30-year average, that would add $1.2 trillion to our $350 billion annual interest expense.

01:15:40.480 That's what we spend on Social Security every year.

01:15:43.260 So, no, it's, I think, 8.5 percent inflation, whatever we're exactly at right now.

01:15:49.620 That's just a sign of a harbinger of things to come.

01:15:53.580 It's the inkling of a debt crisis.

01:15:56.340 And, of course, what sparks a debt crisis is when creditors take a look at the U.S. and say, you know, you're kind of a credit risk.

01:16:02.620 I'll keep loaning you some money, but not at that rate.

01:16:05.120 You go back to that 30-year average, again, that's $1.2 trillion thrown on top of that, which would have to be paid.

01:16:12.900 Or you default to your debt and then interest rates skyrocket.

01:16:15.800 So, again, the national balance sheet is no different than a family, other than it's, you know, orders and orders of magnitude larger.

01:16:23.140 But you simply can't incur so much debt, have the debt be so much in excess of national income without a day of reckoning.

01:16:33.880 It's completely unsustainable, but so many people in Washington, D.C., and the general public, because the media generally supports all these, you know, leftist policies, they're just whistling by the graveyard.

01:16:45.460 They're just not paying attention.

01:16:46.680 A guy like me that points it out, I just get vilified.

01:16:49.980 You know, I get lied about.

01:16:51.380 You know, I want to end Social Security.

01:16:52.660 No, I want to save it.

01:16:54.020 I want to save Medicare.

01:16:55.220 And I'm just pointing out the greatest threat to any government program is this massive debt suspending and our growing out-of-control debt.

01:17:03.460 Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, he is running now and could probably use your support.

01:17:12.140 Where do they go if they want to support you and work on your campaign or donate?

01:17:16.800 It's RonJohnson for Senate.com.

01:17:19.280 And I do need support.

01:17:20.480 Mandela Barnes raised $20 million into his campaign account last quarter.

01:17:25.220 He outraged me.

01:17:26.020 We've been doing quite well because of supporters of your program and others.

01:17:30.740 But we need to put the pedal to the metal, and I need a lot of support.

01:17:34.760 So RonJohnson for Senate.com if we're going to save the Senate seat, and we need to do so if we're going to save this country.

01:17:40.860 And are you confident, Ron, that, you know, we take the Senate and it's not a do-nothing Senate, but the Republicans actually get their ass in gear and do some things?

01:17:55.220 Well, I certainly am going to use every ounce of influence I have to make sure that, at a minimum, we become William F. Buckley conservatives, stand through our history and yell, stop.

01:18:05.460 That's what we need to do.

01:18:08.320 You know, we need to bring some function back to the Senate, you know, pass a budget, you know, put attached to a probably, probably have to increase the debt ceiling, but attached to the fiscal controls.

01:18:19.180 The debt ceiling was designed to prompt, and then go through an appropriation process, you know, starting in April, bring up the Trump appropriation bill, make the Democrats vote not to fund our troops.

01:18:31.700 Rather than what we do right now, just wait till the end of the fiscal year and do these massive appropriation.

01:18:36.680 And that is a huge, huge problem.

01:18:39.820 You fix that, just that alone, and America rebalances a little bit, and it would be felt if you would just pass budgets again.

01:18:52.720 Haven't had one since 2008.

01:18:55.020 Senator Ron Johnson, thank you so much for everything that you have done and are doing.

01:18:59.460 Keep up the fight, and we support you here.

01:19:02.500 Thank you.

01:19:02.940 Thank you for everything you do, Glenn.

01:19:05.180 You're a great man.

01:19:06.080 You bet.

01:19:06.340 Great American.

01:19:07.180 Senator Ron Johnson.

01:19:09.280 Ron Johnson for Senate.com.

01:19:16.140 All right.

01:19:17.840 I want to talk to you a little bit about doing something amazing, and that is saving a life, literally saving a life today.

01:19:28.260 A little while back, an expectant mother came into pre-born clinic, undecided at this point whether she was going to keep the pregnancy or not.

01:19:36.580 Well, when God brings the rain, he often likes to bring the downpour.

01:19:40.520 That woman heard not one, not two, but all three of her little baby's heartbeats, and that was that.

01:19:48.340 Now there are three beautiful little humans in the world who might otherwise not have made it.

01:19:53.880 I urge you, consider being part of the pre-born family.

01:19:59.100 One ultrasound is $28.

01:20:01.920 One ultrasound, $28.

01:20:03.960 When you give a pregnant woman an ultrasound, she is 80% more likely to choose life for that baby.

01:20:12.040 We're trying to rescue 50,000 babies this year, but it has been a tough go.

01:20:19.800 We really need your help.

01:20:21.880 All gifts are tax deductible.

01:20:23.620 100% of your gift goes towards saving babies.

01:20:27.340 Just dial pound 250.

01:20:29.580 Say the keyword baby.

01:20:30.940 It's pound 250, keyword baby.

01:20:33.340 Or go to preborn.com slash Beck.

01:20:36.220 That's preborn.com slash Beck.

01:20:38.720 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:20:58.780 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:03.200 You know, wouldn't it be fun just for a day, without all the weird stuff, to be Tom Cruise?

01:21:08.720 Yeah, you'd have a lot of money to spend.

01:21:12.780 Well, no, it's not even that.

01:21:14.040 And it's not even his good looks.

01:21:15.380 Although, he looks at me and he's like, man, if I could just look like Glenn Beck when I was his age.

01:21:22.440 And I'm like, you are actually older.

01:21:24.960 Okay, you didn't need that reaction.

01:21:27.900 Shut up. 0.95

01:21:28.840 No.

01:21:29.000 Tom Cruise is going to be the first civilian to do a spacewalk.

01:21:35.880 And he's going to be filming a new movie in space.

01:21:41.380 That guy, he's done some of the grit.

01:21:45.560 None of it I would do.

01:21:47.320 Like, I don't want to cliff climb.

01:21:49.660 No.

01:21:50.100 I don't want to go down flying a helicopter that's spinning out of control.

01:21:54.740 I don't want to jump out of the, you know, Kalief Tower. 1.00

01:21:58.920 I don't want to.

01:22:00.680 Space, maybe.

01:22:02.560 But not really.

01:22:03.880 When I get there, I'm kind of inside.

01:22:05.620 I'm like, guys, we're not going to do this.

01:22:07.120 No, no, no, no.

01:22:07.760 Seriously.

01:22:08.280 No, no, no.

01:22:08.660 Why are you shoving me out the hatch?

01:22:09.960 But, I mean, that guy does.

01:22:13.300 He's done everything.

01:22:14.300 And he seems like he likes doing this stuff, which means he's just going around the world

01:22:18.320 getting paid to do all the stuff he wants to do anyway.

01:22:21.180 He's just working it into movies.

01:22:22.720 Exactly right.

01:22:23.900 Exactly right.

01:22:24.560 He's like, what do I want to do?

01:22:26.300 He said, you know, when he jumped out in one of the Mission Impossibles, jumped out of the high.

01:22:31.540 That's really him jumping out.

01:22:33.100 And he said he wanted to do that for years, almost 20 years.

01:22:37.220 He wanted to do that scene.

01:22:38.880 Like, that's all he's doing is just having fun and getting paid millions of dollars.

01:22:43.800 Wouldn't it be nice?

01:22:45.420 I bet he's not stressed out right now, you know, about the country.

01:22:49.560 No.

01:22:50.120 No.

01:22:50.760 No.

01:22:51.320 Not at all.

01:22:51.880 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:53.060 All right.

01:22:53.860 Imagine what it would be like if you could flip a switch and make every odor that is in your home just go away.

01:22:59.660 Sometimes my dog, Big German Shepherd, lots of hair, will go out into the pool or will go out and roll around in the mud.

01:23:08.260 Oh, I love it.

01:23:09.460 There's nothing better than a house that smells like dog.

01:23:13.240 Only thing that beat it is a house that smells like cat.

01:23:18.080 You know what I'm saying?

01:23:18.900 Or a refrigerator that smells like barf.

01:23:22.300 I have a solution for you.

01:23:24.560 Eden Pure has the Thunderstorm Air Purifier.

01:23:27.740 I have three of these in my house.

01:23:29.320 You put them in your house, and I'm telling you, it does not cover the scent.

01:23:33.300 It just eliminates all of the odors.

01:23:37.180 I don't know how it works, but I plugged it in, and it works.

01:23:41.000 And it's just something that just sits right there by the outlet, you know, on the wall.

01:23:44.860 It's almost invisible.

01:23:45.860 I have one for my refrigerator, too, which is incredible.

01:24:58.240 This administration is doing everything.

01:25:01.860 It's like opposite day.

01:25:03.280 It's like, I don't know, we slipped in a wormhole, and we're in a parallel universe that is the

01:25:09.200 reverse image of our universe, you know what I mean?

01:25:13.680 And you're the only one that's like, no, that's a really bad idea.

01:25:16.980 I feel like that.

01:25:18.200 Everybody else is like, nah, it's no big deal.

01:25:20.300 Wait a minute.

01:25:20.960 He's talking about nuclear Armageddon again.

01:25:23.100 Wait a minute.

01:25:24.140 He's taking on the gig economy.

01:25:26.160 Hold on.

01:25:26.880 How much is he spending here?

01:25:28.620 I think this is all bad.

01:25:29.880 Nah, don't worry about it.

01:25:32.060 Holy cow. 0.89

01:25:32.800 Well, it has gotten worse, and we're going to take you into the economy and what you need

01:26:49.020 We have a kind of a financial kind of meeting or something today, and you're in town for

01:26:54.520 that, and welcome as always, Carol.

01:26:57.180 Thanks.

01:26:57.580 It's fun to be in studio with you.

01:26:59.900 So, Carol, I just said to Senator Johnson from Wisconsin that I feel like we're on the

01:27:09.940 Titanic, and now we've hit the iceberg at full speed, and I'm looking forward to

01:27:19.020 for a band to stop playing so people can go, oh, wait, what just happened?

01:27:27.680 And it's time to get into the lifeboats, because this thing's, we got to save what we can and

01:27:34.500 the people we can, because we're going to have a lot of rebuilding to do.

01:27:37.840 Yeah, and it's the people who put us on course to hit the iceberg.

01:27:42.900 Wait, wait, wait.

01:27:43.420 You don't agree with my analogy, do you?

01:27:46.520 No, I do agree.

01:27:48.280 I'm very, very sorry.

01:27:50.140 I don't like that.

01:27:50.360 I know, I know, I know you want me to tell you that everything is going to be okay.

01:27:55.820 Yeah, going on the iceberg, we haven't hit it yet.

01:27:56.660 We're going to be on a mega yacht instead of the Titanic, and it's just not the case.

01:28:03.820 But it is these people who said, oh, that iceberg isn't there.

01:28:08.780 No, we can totally maneuver our way around it.

01:28:11.680 These are the people who said, no, no, okay, yeah, okay, so it was there, and maybe we

01:28:16.680 hit it, but, you know, that was some other reason.

01:28:19.220 We didn't, you know, it wasn't actually there when we saw it.

01:28:21.520 But now we've got all of these great ideas on how to fix the economy.

01:28:25.200 Oh, my gosh, and none of them are good ideas.

01:28:27.100 Let me ask you this.

01:28:28.020 If, let's say you're the head of the Treasury, or you're the head of the Fed.

01:28:32.740 Lord help everyone.

01:28:33.720 I think we'd be better off.

01:28:36.440 I think we'd be better off.

01:28:37.420 Oh, you would be.

01:28:38.880 You would be.

01:28:39.580 Even if it was just me, you know what I mean?

01:28:42.100 You'd be like, yeah, well, better than these clowns.

01:28:44.080 Some guy off the street, right?

01:28:45.700 Yeah, anybody off the street.

01:28:47.380 You, don't know what your name is.

01:28:49.500 Come here.

01:28:49.980 You're now the head of the Fed.

01:28:52.860 Let me, if you were the head of the Fed, and this is the iceberg part, how do you stop

01:29:00.320 this from going down, aren't, because you have to raise interest rates traditionally

01:29:06.680 to pull money back in.

01:29:08.880 But these interest rates would have to be 30% easy.

01:29:13.080 Don't you agree to pull this kind of money back in?

01:29:15.740 We were at 20 in Jimmy Carter.

01:29:17.480 Yeah, we'll get to that in a second.

01:29:19.000 First of all, if I were Fed chair, I'd blow up the entire Fed powers, and I'd say, we're

01:29:24.160 going to put myself out of a job at some point in time.

01:29:27.800 But in terms of the problem at hand.

01:29:31.260 So wait, wait, let me give this so the audience understands.

01:29:34.500 To suck, inflation goes down when you suck money back out of the system.

01:29:38.860 That's the theory, and that's the way it's always worked.

01:29:41.900 Hang on, I know what you're thinking.

01:29:43.320 And the other problem is you can only make interest rates go so high before it sucks the

01:29:51.340 money out that is needed to run the economy.

01:29:54.380 So half the country is saying, we've got to have higher interest rates.

01:29:58.700 The other half of the country is saying, no, we've got to lower the interest rates.

01:30:02.680 I don't know what to do, except just freeze.

01:30:05.660 So let me put this in layman's terms.

01:30:07.440 You're talking about this battle between inflation and putting us into a very deep recession.

01:30:14.580 Not that we're not already in a recession, which some of the people like to pretend that

01:30:18.140 we're not, but a very deep recession.

01:30:20.400 And those two things are at odds with each other.

01:30:22.400 Borderline depression.

01:30:23.900 I mean, depression really is kind of defined by the unemployment being very, very high.

01:30:29.040 Right.

01:30:29.400 And duration, right?

01:30:31.180 The length of how deep and how long this goes.

01:30:34.720 But there's another factor in here, which is because we are the world reserve currency.

01:30:40.400 It's something called the Triffin dilemma.

01:30:42.580 So not only domestically are we at odds, inflation versus recession, but from a global standpoint,

01:30:51.220 you're at odds.

01:30:52.120 Do you make decisions for the benefit of the U.S., which I'm not sure that we can, but let's

01:30:57.680 just pretend that maybe we can, or for the world, because the world is on the precipice

01:31:04.220 of a massive global recession that could cause all kinds of reverberations here.

01:31:09.320 So this is the massive puzzle that these central planners, again, have created because they

01:31:15.460 thought like, oh, we can figure this out, but they don't realize they aren't smart enough

01:31:20.520 to figure out all these moving parts.

01:31:22.160 So as Fed chair, I need to slow the Titanic down so that we can get people, as we talked 0.68

01:31:29.260 about offline, into the light boats versus not crashing into the iceberg because that's

01:31:34.480 just not possible at this point in time.

01:31:36.220 It's not possible to save the Titanic.

01:31:37.860 Yeah, I personally don't think that it's possible.

01:31:40.500 Everyone's just like, oh, there's a very narrow path.

01:31:43.240 Okay, well, the path is like, you know, as narrow as like one of my hairs, like there's

01:31:46.920 no narrow path.

01:31:47.780 So let's just be honest about it.

01:31:49.240 The time to do something really was before 2008.

01:31:53.520 Once we went down the path of bailing everybody out, this is the inevitable outcome. 0.84

01:31:59.800 And everybody, you know, at the Fed and all the experts and all the banking people, they

01:32:04.440 all said, no, no, no, no, no, you don't understand.

01:32:07.160 And I kept saying to them, I do understand.

01:32:10.060 I don't think you're either telling the truth to yourself or you're just a crazy man because

01:32:19.100 you can't do this at the numbers that we're doing it.

01:32:23.100 Yeah.

01:32:23.480 And the thing is that not only should they have not done what they did then, they shouldn't

01:32:28.280 have kept in place for as long as they have and they shouldn't have doubled down.

01:32:31.920 And that's the problem is that we keep having these opportunities to go, yes, we've made

01:32:36.700 mistakes and we're going to change course.

01:32:39.340 No, we don't.

01:32:39.820 But instead, everyone goes, no, I think this is fine.

01:32:42.680 We're going to continue marching down.

01:32:44.100 Or I'm not seeing the problem in the way that other people are anticipating seeing the

01:32:48.400 problem.

01:32:48.820 So since they're not recognizing it, we have some more room to just continue to continue

01:32:54.740 on until they wake up and realize that it's a problem.

01:32:58.000 Once you wake up and realize that the problem is there, then it becomes too late.

01:33:02.680 And we're in the situation that we're in today.

01:33:04.260 So Monday, I did a monologue on Credit Suisse and I said, you're going to see in two years

01:33:11.980 because the Fed doesn't have to tell you anything for two years.

01:33:14.260 But I guarantee you, we are sending our money over to Credit Suisse right now to do basically

01:33:21.620 what we did in 2008, save the bank that's too big to fail.

01:33:26.540 Well, I don't know why they released this information, but last night I'm reading, we

01:33:30.860 spent three, we sent three billion, how much did we send?

01:33:36.620 I don't know, but I doubt it was three trillion.

01:33:38.940 Yeah, I'll have to look it up.

01:33:40.340 Could you look that up?

01:33:41.740 Look that up for me.

01:33:42.620 Three trillion.

01:33:43.080 It's a staggering, it's a staggering amount.

01:33:47.080 But let me tell you why they did that is because the Swiss National Bank said that Credit

01:33:52.900 Suisse is a systemically important bank.

01:33:56.420 So of course that they are too big to fail.

01:34:00.320 We can't, you know, we can't bail out the little guys.

01:34:02.280 We have to make sure that the big cronies are taken care of.

01:34:05.020 So of course somebody was going to come to the rescue.

01:34:07.480 And when you say somebody, it's always the U.S.

01:34:10.320 And it's not the U.S., it's you and you and you and you.

01:34:13.380 It's literally us because it's our money or them printing money, which devalues our money.

01:34:18.400 So isn't Europe now in the place or soon going to be in the place that we were at in 2008?

01:34:25.120 So there, it's for a different reason.

01:34:29.700 Right, right, right.

01:34:30.900 But again, and this goes back to the Fed.

01:34:33.340 So let's tie this all in a nice little bow.

01:34:35.780 Because we have a dollar that is strong against other currencies.

01:34:39.440 It's not strong when you go to the grocery store, but it is strong against these other currencies out there.

01:34:44.960 I like to call it the skinniest kid at fat camp.

01:34:47.420 It's not great, but it's the best out of all of them.

01:34:50.620 And because of the energy situation that they have all created, they're dependent on importing energy.

01:34:58.120 Energy and to some extent food is priced in dollars, which means these countries need to access dollars in order to pay for these things.

01:35:07.880 So they only have so many choices.

01:35:09.340 It means they either continue to devalue their currency, they're going to have to spend more and more of their currency to buy dollars, or they sell dollar-denominated assets, like treasuries, in order to get the dollars to pay.

01:35:21.400 And so this is a vicious cycle.

01:35:23.140 When they do that, then the yields go up, the dollar strengthens, and we end up in this crazy cycle again.

01:35:30.460 And this is why it's so complicated.

01:35:32.160 The Fed's decision isn't just inflation versus a deeper recession here in the U.S.

01:35:39.060 It's literally potentially creating a global currency crisis.

01:35:42.820 It's potentially creating illiquidity in the treasury market in a crisis there.

01:35:47.940 It's potentially, you know, all risk assets could end up just, you know, being sold in a massive fire sale.

01:35:54.760 I mean, they have to think through all of those implications.

01:35:57.500 And that's why if I were Fed chair right now, where we started this, I would have to pause, because I don't think that the Fed has the tools to combat inflation since their supply generated anyway.

01:36:11.040 They can't print oil.

01:36:12.140 They can't print labor. 0.94

01:36:13.520 They don't have the tools.

01:36:14.640 So all they can do is crash demand.

01:36:16.340 And if they do, they take the whole world down with them.

01:36:18.440 Okay, well, I think I'm going home now.

01:36:25.200 All right.

01:36:26.740 More in just a second with Carol Roth.

01:36:29.300 By the way, you can get her newsletter and the things that she writes at blaze, the blaze.com.

01:36:39.600 You'll see a lot of her articles and at your website as well.

01:36:43.780 Carol Roth dot com slash Glenn.

01:36:46.260 That's actually a new project coming up that you know about.

01:36:50.480 They can sign up to find out about that there.

01:36:52.860 It's going to help them battle their way back with wealth.

01:36:55.620 So Carol Roth slash Carol Roth dot com slash Glenn.

01:36:58.240 You going to announce that today?

01:36:59.440 I'm not denouncing it, but if they get on that mailing list, they will be among the first.

01:37:03.260 This is a really good thing.

01:37:04.340 Yes.

01:37:04.860 All right.

01:37:05.360 Let me tell you about gold.

01:37:06.960 I actually saw a guy who was traditionally against holding gold.

01:37:13.120 And he just did you.

01:37:15.560 I don't remember who it was, but he was a guy traditionally against it.

01:37:19.120 And he said, now it's really the time.

01:37:21.660 Now is the time because all assets, all assets are going to go way down.

01:37:27.680 He predicted way down.

01:37:29.440 And even if gold goes down, it'll be like the skinniest kid at fat camp.

01:37:34.660 You know what I mean?

01:37:35.180 And eventually he said gold always resets the everything.

01:37:41.280 Yeah.

01:37:41.760 Do you agree with that?

01:37:42.380 I mean, we can talk about this more, but if you just think about what we just said, the Fed eventually having to go back to continue printing.

01:37:49.560 These central banks having to go back to printing, like we're seeing at the Bank of England, you know, this is a long-term trend.

01:37:57.180 You saw something out of Saudi Arabia that they're opening a gold refinery.

01:38:02.260 There is a reason for that.

01:38:04.840 So just in terms of the tenor of the global economy, U.S. dollars, reserve currency, and all of these machinations going on, the one thing that everyone can kind of agree on is gold.

01:38:16.880 You know, it's amazing, too, because if you think that the government can say, we're just making a different dollar.

01:38:23.340 We're just making a digital dollar.

01:38:25.080 It's going to be completely different.

01:38:27.040 At that point, no one is going to have any credibility.

01:38:31.360 You're going to have to show me what that's worth.

01:38:33.720 Show it to me.

01:38:35.080 No one will have any.

01:38:36.060 There will be no, you know, faith in the good name and credit of the United States.

01:38:42.400 Anyway, I want you to call Goldline right now.

01:38:46.880 They've got a really good special going on, the Legal Tender Bar.

01:38:52.900 This is gold pieces.

01:38:54.440 I actually helped design this, and they had it made by the Canadian Mint.

01:38:58.460 It is little teeny gold bars that are spendable, if you will.

01:39:03.540 You can keep it in your wallet, and you could get wherever you needed to get and do things that you need to do with those,

01:39:11.780 and it's much more reasonable to use.

01:39:14.580 Also, if you do this, you get a free Benjamin Franklin copper round, free silver mind your business bar,

01:39:20.700 and a free silver maple flex bar, which is exactly like the gold bar that I was telling you about a minute ago.

01:39:26.920 Inventory on these, they sell out quickly.

01:39:28.920 Don't wait.

01:39:29.420 Call 866-GOLD-LINE.

01:39:30.740 866-GOLD-LINE-R-GOLD-LINE.COM

01:39:33.720 10 seconds.

01:39:34.380 Station ID.

01:39:47.280 Can you explain one thing?

01:39:48.980 I saw an article out of Europe, and it said that because there are no investors because of ESG,

01:39:58.000 there's no investors in exploring for oil, et cetera, et cetera,

01:40:03.980 and the fact that we are headed towards price destruction, meaning nobody can afford to do anything,

01:40:10.880 so nobody's going to be using gas, and you're going to be staying at home,

01:40:15.980 so the price of gas will fall through the floor, they think.

01:40:21.520 Then the banks will have, or any investors, will have a call on their investment,

01:40:28.220 and they won't have the money to be able to do it,

01:40:31.560 so they're stuck in the same kind of trap where it's this vicious circle.

01:40:36.160 Is that true?

01:40:36.860 Is that right?

01:40:37.400 So there is a case to be made that, you know, as we kind of go into a global recession,

01:40:46.580 like a very deep global recession, that there will be demand destruction,

01:40:49.880 but you have to remember that we just had OPEC Plus decide to cut production 2 million barrels per day.

01:40:58.620 So, and, you know, China is still kind of getting back and running, you know, in terms of capacity,

01:41:04.180 so I don't think that oil and gas are going to go back up to the levels that, you know,

01:41:10.700 perhaps we saw earlier this year, but the idea that it's all going to come crashing down,

01:41:16.040 I mean, yes, Europe's, you know, stockpiled on gas, but it's like a three-month stockpile.

01:41:20.840 Like, what happens after that?

01:41:22.460 This issue that we have with energy, this isn't like a month-long or a winter-long issue,

01:41:27.680 and all of a sudden we're going to come out the other side and everything's going to be roses.

01:41:31.620 There's massive underinvestment that's going to affect us for years.

01:41:34.920 So, it's not just that you can turn this spigot back on.

01:41:38.880 I know, you know, when you think of these big oil rigs that are out in the middle of the Gulf,

01:41:44.520 those things are made here, a lot of them, but they have specialized parts that, like, one company makes.

01:41:52.660 Those things are on leases for 10 years at least.

01:41:56.340 So, if it pulls up here and goes some other place, South America, that's leased,

01:42:04.280 and you don't just build an oil rig like that overnight.

01:42:08.620 We're talking years of restarting.

01:42:11.800 This sounds really familiar.

01:42:13.600 It sounds like in 2020 when a bunch of people said,

01:42:17.280 wait, you can't just turn off a third of the economy and then turn it back on whenever you want,

01:42:22.260 and there's going to be absolutely no dislocation.

01:42:25.280 Huh, that's weird.

01:42:26.620 It's the same thing here.

01:42:28.160 You're losing the parts manufacturers.

01:42:31.280 You're losing, in the case of nuclear, a knowledge base, you know, specialized expertise.

01:42:38.120 You cannot just flip the switch back on.

01:42:40.720 And there's no meaningful sort of rush towards investment because all of these companies believe

01:42:47.060 that, you know, whoever the next regime is, even if there's a friendly one in between,

01:42:52.660 that they're just going to double down on these bad policies.

01:42:55.240 So, why would they make a 10-year or a 15-year, multi-billion dollar investment

01:43:00.620 when people are coming out saying, we're coming after you?

01:43:03.840 Yep.

01:43:04.220 It does, you know, show me the incentive.

01:43:06.340 I will show you the outcome.

01:43:08.280 That is Charlie Munger, and it's for every single thing.

01:43:12.120 And in terms of energy, this is not just the next few months.

01:43:16.000 This is a multi, multi-year disaster with massive human suffering.

01:43:21.220 I mean, we're talking about already in Europe, just the implications, not just on heating your

01:43:26.180 homes, but on the food sector, bakeries, dairy, companies that massively use energy.

01:43:34.080 They're not able to produce at the levels that they could because the energy is too much.

01:43:39.200 Farms.

01:43:39.320 Yeah.

01:43:39.900 Farms.

01:43:40.460 Fertilizer.

01:43:41.100 Yeah.

01:43:41.500 This is what happened in Sri Lanka, right?

01:43:43.260 This is craziness.

01:43:45.040 It is craziness.

01:43:46.260 There is such a, and I can only, you know, it's Malthusian.

01:43:51.720 You have to hate humankind to go down this road because it's so clear what the ramifications are.

01:44:00.800 And if you stop right now and go, okay, okay, okay, okay, all right, I got it.

01:44:06.200 Then, you know, that's one thing.

01:44:07.420 Right.

01:44:07.700 But to stay singly focused on this and continue while people are going to face starvation and

01:44:16.180 freezing to death, it's, there's something deeply, deeply wrong with you.

01:44:21.920 So we've talked about this.

01:44:23.180 This is what the Fed did, right?

01:44:24.760 They stayed with that myopia.

01:44:26.500 Same thing with COVID.

01:44:28.180 Now we have it with energy.

01:44:29.200 So when we come back, I want to talk because Bank of America just said, buckle up, we're

01:44:35.420 about to shed 175,000 jobs every single month.

01:44:39.600 I don't know if that's way out of line, you know, from a bad time or what, you know, what

01:44:46.120 that number means.

01:44:46.760 I'll ask you in a second.

01:44:47.540 And then I also, let's dogpile.

01:44:51.780 Here's another bad decision.

01:44:53.760 The federal government is going after the gig economy.

01:44:57.140 And you can't do that to America.

01:45:01.940 I mean, but they are, but they are.

01:45:04.220 So what does that mean?

01:45:06.240 What job is going to be safe in America over the, over the next few years?

01:45:11.740 Hey, I have an idea.

01:45:14.020 We should all get together and vote, vote.

01:45:19.200 We've got to overwhelm the polls and send a very strong message.

01:45:26.860 Enough is enough.

01:45:31.620 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:45:33.460 Okay, grab a mirror.

01:45:35.980 Just look into it for a second.

01:45:37.600 I know.

01:45:38.540 Handsome, right?

01:45:39.700 I know.

01:45:40.340 I know.

01:45:41.080 And now just say into the mirror, I want to steal that person's money.

01:45:46.840 That person is you.

01:45:48.520 Okay.

01:45:48.820 So you have to imagine you're not, you're looking at a picture, not a mirror.

01:45:52.060 Anyway, that's a cyber criminal.

01:45:54.640 They, they are looking at you saying, I want it.

01:45:58.480 I want it.

01:45:59.100 And it, you don't even have to be rich.

01:46:00.600 Nothing.

01:46:01.020 They, they're after your identity, but also your money.

01:46:59.380 Okay, so Uber, DoorDash, plunge in the stock market as the Labor Department proposes gig worker

01:47:18.120 change.

01:47:19.220 What does this mean?

01:47:21.820 So I wrote about this in The War on Small Business.

01:47:25.420 This is one of those things that sounds really nice in theory and is absolutely terrible for

01:47:31.480 economic freedom.

01:47:33.160 This is basically taking California's AB5 law.

01:47:36.800 And we know that California is, you know, the stomping ground, the place where they test

01:47:41.060 every bad idea that they want to take national.

01:47:44.160 And they basically said, if you are an independent contractor, that's not really going to work for

01:47:51.180 us anymore.

01:47:51.900 We are going to need you unless you have your own business entity and start running yourself

01:47:57.700 like a business entity.

01:47:58.840 We are going to need you to be an employee.

01:48:02.000 And that creates all kinds of issues, not just for Uber and Lyft.

01:48:06.460 They like to sell it as we're going after the big guys.

01:48:09.280 But really for 32.6 million small businesses and the 53 million people who want to have

01:48:18.620 flexible work.

01:48:19.700 Because as a small business owner, for me to have to bring somebody on when I might only

01:48:25.280 need them once a month during a busy season or whatnot, now I have to make them an employee.

01:48:32.500 I have to pay for insurance for them.

01:48:34.840 I have to pay their portion into social security.

01:48:39.020 It may screw up my 401k plans and my SEP plans and all those kinds of things because now you

01:48:44.840 have people who, you know, weren't employees that are employees and it just trickles through

01:48:49.640 your business.

01:48:50.580 I, as a small business owner, can't afford that.

01:48:53.380 These bigger guys, they've got access to capital.

01:48:56.540 They've got big human resources departments.

01:48:59.240 They, even though some of them are fighting it, you know, some of them love it because

01:49:04.200 it shakes out all of the competition.

01:49:06.960 And then from your standpoint, it takes away your economic freedom.

01:49:11.300 You know, they like to talk about choice.

01:49:13.040 Well, what about your work, your choice?

01:49:15.720 Why do you not get to work?

01:49:17.020 I want to work flexibly.

01:49:18.440 I want to work, you know, maybe one day on Uber, one day on DoorDash, one day on something

01:49:23.520 else.

01:49:24.560 And the idea that just because, you know, somebody uses your platform from time to time

01:49:29.640 to earn money, I mean, is your babysitter going to become your employee now?

01:49:34.080 The guy does your shoe shine on the corner.

01:49:36.100 I mean, you use them every week.

01:49:37.260 So why is he not your employee?

01:49:39.240 But this is a giveaway to the unions, to this big special interest and to certain big businesses

01:49:47.220 that will crush economic freedom in this country.

01:49:52.020 It is.

01:49:52.620 I just had a guy from DoorDash that we ordered something from some restaurant and they forgot

01:49:59.240 a salad.

01:50:00.200 Now, I wasn't disappointed.

01:50:01.900 My wife was disappointed.

01:50:03.660 This guy comes and he is he is so great.

01:50:07.560 And usually when, you know, you have a salad as they're walking back to their car, you could

01:50:12.940 have like two pizzas missing and they'll be like, yeah, Colin, they'll just deduct it.

01:50:17.980 This guy was like, no, no, no, no, no, I'll go pick it back up.

01:50:23.240 You know, I'll let him know the mistake.

01:50:25.280 I'll go pick it back up.

01:50:26.560 And we're like, no, really, you don't have to.

01:50:28.380 It's a salad.

01:50:29.080 And I'm, you know, I'm bargaining.

01:50:30.440 Please don't.

01:50:31.020 I'll pay you extra if you don't go get it.

01:50:33.600 And he he said, no, no, I got I got to go get it.

01:50:36.420 So he did.

01:50:36.960 I tried to tip him.

01:50:38.740 He wouldn't take a tip.

01:50:39.680 He said, you know what, I have crashed.

01:50:43.140 My life has crashed.

01:50:44.120 My wife left me.

01:50:45.900 She was cheating on me. 1.00

01:50:47.220 He said, I've gone back to school.

01:50:49.840 I'm going to get my doctorate and whatever.

01:50:52.940 And he said, I'm providing a good service.

01:50:56.980 You've already tipped me enough.

01:50:59.160 I want a fair deal and I want to do my job with integrity.

01:51:03.300 And I thought this guy is fantastic.

01:51:05.860 Where can we hire this guy?

01:51:07.160 Did you get his phone number?

01:51:08.520 It's just he's fantastic.

01:51:10.980 Totally fantastic.

01:51:12.720 But he's looking at it because he can do that when he has time, when he's not studying or going to school.

01:51:20.320 Exactly.

01:51:20.840 That that is huge for the American people.

01:51:24.060 Huge.

01:51:24.720 We have all kinds of job openings.

01:51:28.080 We have one point six, seven jobs open for every person.

01:51:30.920 If you want to become an employee, you have that opportunity.

01:51:34.500 People don't want that.

01:51:36.060 They want flexibility.

01:51:37.260 They want the opportunity to be their own boss, do what they want to do on their time.

01:51:43.340 And you've got the government saying, I'm sorry, you can't we can't make a contract together.

01:51:47.420 I can't do what I want and say, Glenn, I'm going to work for you from time to time.

01:51:51.040 That's not OK.

01:51:51.880 We are going to dictate that to you.

01:51:53.660 We want more taxes.

01:51:55.500 We want to interfere.

01:51:56.760 And what ends up happening is it takes those jobs away.

01:52:00.440 It makes them go away because the reason these models exist around the gig economy is because they are independent contractors.

01:52:07.920 And it works for both parties when they go out and they survey these these independent contractors.

01:52:13.460 They say, well, would you rather be employees?

01:52:15.080 The overwhelming majority say no.

01:52:18.120 So the only people who are benefiting, again, big special interests, big government, big business.

01:52:25.700 Yeah.

01:52:27.980 I mean, this can they just do that?

01:52:29.900 Can the Labor Department just do this? 1.00

01:52:31.780 There is going to be a comment period.

01:52:33.320 And I will put something up on my Twitter.

01:52:35.780 We need people in force.

01:52:37.660 Just like you vote.

01:52:38.620 You need your voices.

01:52:39.740 You need to go call your representatives.

01:52:41.560 You need to comment.

01:52:43.060 Tell them to keep the government out of economic freedom.

01:52:46.980 Let people work the way that they want to work.

01:52:49.680 Absolutely no on this.

01:52:52.000 Do they actually listen to the comment thing?

01:52:54.820 So I have been told that, you know, so few people, you know, maybe not the comments, but when you call your rep, so few people actually pick up the phone and call that if they get like 20 calls, they're freaking out.

01:53:07.780 Like that's like a barrage.

01:53:09.680 So you actually can, if you get a group of people together, make a difference because it's kind of like Twitter, right?

01:53:15.780 You know, all of a sudden, a few people start saying something and then everybody's saying this.

01:53:20.300 It's that squeaky wheel that gets the oil, that vocal minority that can affect change.

01:53:25.740 And especially right now, you know, everybody's on edge with the economy.

01:53:30.260 Last thing we should do is start cutting jobs. 0.90

01:53:32.360 Exactly.

01:53:32.920 You know?

01:53:33.420 Seems like not a great idea.

01:53:35.840 One last story.

01:53:36.900 The Federal Reserve announced six large banks are going to participate in pilot climate scenario of social credit system.

01:53:48.200 What the hell is, what is this?

01:53:50.140 I think I know what this means.

01:53:51.760 Do you know exactly what this means?

01:53:53.540 Because they're saying, oh, no, no, no.

01:53:56.200 This is just, you know, everything that's as bad as a conspiracy theory.

01:54:00.900 This is just, we're just trying to see this climate thing play out to see if we can be stable and if the credit score thing will work.

01:54:11.300 Yeah.

01:54:11.440 I mean, whatever they're saying it's not going to be, you could pretty much count on that's what it's going to be.

01:54:16.780 And that's the concern over the Federal Reserve potentially rolling out a currency.

01:54:22.400 They control a central bank digital currency, not control like where they control the money supply, but where they can actually control the one that you own.

01:54:30.420 And they can program it and they can take away your ability to use it and all those kinds of things.

01:54:35.020 So my guess is that is sort of what they're piloting.

01:54:38.780 They're already talking about CBDCs.

01:54:40.760 They're already trying to develop that.

01:54:43.040 And so, you know, much like we've seen some private companies try to do lately, but say, well, you know, we're not happy with, you know, you ate too much meat this month.

01:54:53.180 And so we're not going to let you buy this burger.

01:54:55.660 We're just going to shut that access down.

01:54:57.900 But, hey, if you buy the healthy salad, you know, you can access it.

01:55:01.500 If not, you're going to have to wait to access your money.

01:55:04.280 I mean, again, the opportunity here for just massive control and lack of economic freedom, it is the most un-American thing I can think of.

01:55:17.140 There was one other thing that I wanted to talk to you about.

01:55:20.440 We talked about it yesterday.

01:55:21.620 Gosh, it was just in my head now.

01:55:23.220 It just slipped out.

01:55:27.100 PayPal, central bank digital currencies.

01:55:29.700 Yeah, well, PayPal is what I'm going to get into this tomorrow because we just ran out of time.

01:55:33.800 But PayPal, you know, they said, oh, yeah, that was a mistake, all of that stuff.

01:55:40.640 Did you see what happened, Stu?

01:55:42.380 They're saying they're going to fine?

01:55:44.660 Yeah, they said they were going to fine people $2,500, you know, if you broke their standards.

01:55:52.220 Their standards were way broad.

01:55:54.420 And then they came back and said, how did that policy get in here?

01:55:57.340 All right, we must have mice in the equipment here.

01:56:00.900 And it was specific to misinformation because there are actually a couple of other things that they already still fine you for that they didn't take away.

01:56:07.560 This was a new thing that they added around misinformation.

01:56:09.980 And the question is, why is a payment provider hiring a team to monitor information?

01:56:17.340 Like, on what planet does that make sense other than the planet that we've been talking about where, you know, all these different forces come together and basically, you know, conspire, using my word, to take away your economic freedom?

01:56:31.960 So, let me just give you this.

01:56:35.500 Dan Shulman, you know who he is, Stu?

01:56:39.840 He's the head now of PayPal.

01:56:42.060 Okay.

01:56:42.360 Okay.

01:56:42.540 And he, his focus, and this is all in his, you know, on his stuff, democratizing and transforming financial services and e-commerce to improve the financial health of billions of people, family and businesses all around the world.

01:56:58.200 He has vast experience with payments and mobile technology.

01:57:03.460 He's now leading PayPal to, quote, reimagine how people move and manage money and how merchants and consumers interact and transact.

01:57:11.240 That's great.

01:57:12.720 PayPal has now been listed as one of the top companies on Just Capital.

01:57:18.160 Capital letters, Just.

01:57:19.520 Just Capital.

01:57:20.760 Just.

01:57:21.160 And Forbes, Just 100 list, featuring companies doing right by America.

01:57:27.380 PayPal has also been recognized as Fortune Change the World Company for its work on tackling the biggest challenges facing society.

01:57:36.540 Dan's leadership, now listen to this, and impact have been recognized by several notable organizations.

01:57:41.240 When I hear this.

01:57:42.880 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

01:57:43.680 Can I guess?

01:57:44.380 Can I guess?

01:57:44.920 Yeah.

01:57:45.360 Is it the World Economic Forum?

01:57:47.580 Well, when you hear this, you'll think, holy cow, what are they washing this guy for?

01:57:54.880 He is 100 Black Men of New York, honored Dan, with the Excellence in Economic Empowerment Award.

01:58:02.400 New York Urban League presented him with the Frederick Douglass Award.

01:58:06.860 Let's see.

01:58:08.680 In 2021, he also received the Voices of Solidarity Award, presented by Vital Voices.

01:58:16.020 He has won the Oak Crown Honor, presented by Prime Minister Xavier Battelle in 2020, the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award.

01:58:25.820 He won the Ripple of Hope Award.

01:58:29.220 Dan was recognized by Endeavor Global with the High Impact Leader of the Year Award for his work.

01:58:35.320 Anything financial on that list, Glenn?

01:58:36.980 So far, no.

01:58:38.240 So far, no.

01:58:38.980 So, however, he is on the Council for Economic Education.

01:58:45.260 Okay.

01:58:46.680 Dan was recognized with the Brennan Legacy Award in honor of the late Supreme Court Justice, you know, who had a lot in common, I guess, with common human dignity with her.

01:59:01.100 Also, he's a doctor of humane letters, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:59:04.560 Now, ranked third on Fortune's list of the world's greatest leaders.

01:59:09.340 This guy cannot get more awards, right?

01:59:12.200 Right.

01:59:12.600 Okay.

01:59:13.880 He is top 20 business persons of the year.

01:59:17.400 Name one of the most 100 creative people.

01:59:19.900 One of the top 50 CEOs.

01:59:22.960 Top 10 most innovative CEOs in banking.

01:59:26.420 He's also a life member of the Council of Foreign Relations.

01:59:30.020 He is also with the World Economic Forum as a member of their International Business Council and the Board of Governors and the Board of Stewards for the Future of Financial and Monetary Systems Platform.

01:59:45.580 Shocked.

01:59:45.920 I tell you, I'm shocked.

01:59:47.080 I'm shocked.

01:59:47.300 When I heard the word reimagined, the last thing that came into my mind was the World Economic Forum.

01:59:53.300 Yeah.

01:59:53.400 And he's not just with the World Economic Forum.

01:59:56.840 He is part of the WEF International Business Council.

02:00:01.760 And you know what's so crazy is go back to who were the two founders of PayPal.

02:00:06.060 It was the merger of Elon Musk's ex.com and Peter Thiel.

02:00:10.900 These guys who are interested in freedom and free speech.

02:00:14.680 And now look what it's become.

02:00:15.820 We're going to have to have them come back and say PayPal now, too.

02:00:18.240 I know.

02:00:18.640 I know.

02:00:19.120 They're both embarrassed by what it's become.

02:00:21.520 Both embarrassed.

02:00:22.680 Thank you so much, Carol.

02:00:23.560 We'll talk again.

02:00:24.340 Such a pleasure.

02:00:24.980 Carol Roth, carolroth.com slash Glenn.

02:00:31.300 Every day, the threat of economic turmoil looms closer and closer on the horizon.

02:00:36.120 We're already seeing plenty of it as inflation continues to spike at record numbers.

02:00:40.780 I don't want to be the one that gives you all the bad news, but why stop now?

02:00:45.120 You know, things are gaining steam.

02:00:47.760 You need to prepare and you need to look for the things that can spiral out of control easily.

02:00:55.400 May I suggest you make a phone call today and get a free mortgage review from American Financing.

02:01:00.320 This is a family owned company that really gets it.

02:01:03.240 They've been a strong financial presence in similar times, and they've helped so many people just like you come out ahead of the curve.

02:01:09.860 Call them now.

02:01:10.380 They don't work for the bank.

02:01:11.360 They work for you.

02:01:12.980 American Financing at 800-906-2440.

02:01:17.220 The average savings for the average person that calls up American Financing is $675 a month.

02:01:24.980 That would help, wouldn't it?

02:01:26.740 American Financing, 800-906-2440.

02:01:30.680 Americanfinancing.net.

02:01:31.680 American Financing, NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

02:01:38.880 Glenn Beck.

02:01:40.060 Join the conversation, 888-727-BECK.

02:02:00.060 I have some good news.

02:02:01.680 Well, kind of good news.

02:02:04.960 NASA actually knocked that asteroid off its path.

02:02:12.080 Good.

02:02:12.580 I assume, considering the competence of things lately, it's now headed directly toward the United States.

02:02:18.140 Unfortunately, they hit it on the wrong side.

02:02:20.460 Okay.

02:02:21.200 Our bad.

02:02:21.740 Yeah.

02:02:22.220 No.

02:02:23.180 I think the bad news is it means we won't be hit by an asteroid.

02:02:30.260 Come on.

02:02:31.180 Really?

02:02:31.460 Really?

02:02:31.680 Yeah.

02:02:32.280 Do we know that for a fact yet?

02:02:34.100 No.

02:02:34.340 Maybe there's another asteroid coming, Glenn.

02:02:35.860 It'll be okay.

02:02:36.420 You know, but they're going to make it look like it's a new revelation.

02:02:39.800 Now that they have us, you know, semi-confident that, hey, we can move that.

02:02:43.380 Now they'll be like, oh, we just saw this asteroid looks like it's headed right directly towards Earth.

02:02:49.840 Don't worry.

02:02:50.760 We can take care of it.

02:02:52.960 All of the elites are going to be in this pod over here.

02:02:56.940 But that's because they're going to be watching a really boring TV show, but there's only a couple of reasons why you try to hit an asteroid out of orbit.

02:03:09.780 Number one, okay, you just want to test it out just in case something ever happens.

02:03:14.600 Number two, there's something coming that they know about and they need to test it out because they're going to have to use this soon.

02:03:20.840 Number three, this asteroid we hit was already coming toward us.

02:03:27.100 And you know what?

02:03:28.220 You know what?

02:03:28.840 I would only say that I wouldn't say they would do it just to see if they could do it because someday it might happen to us.

02:03:37.100 But then again, that sounds like such a waste of money.

02:03:39.720 They might do that.

02:03:41.280 I mean, that would be the smart thing to do, but they don't ever do the smart thing.

02:03:45.140 No, that's true.

02:03:46.020 That's true.

02:03:46.460 And by the way, they knocked it off.

02:03:47.700 But it changed the orbit by 34 minutes or something.

02:03:51.780 It's like, I don't know.

02:03:53.040 Is that enough?

02:03:54.500 I mean, I don't know.

02:03:56.080 Hey, we all live 34 minutes longer.

02:03:57.860 Don't worry.

02:03:58.620 I see Jack Bauer and it's clicking down.

02:04:01.020 All of a sudden, it's almost to zero and it goes boop.

02:04:03.780 And at 38 minutes, I'm good.

02:04:05.400 Okay.

02:04:05.820 I'm good.

02:04:06.200 All right.

02:04:06.660 All right.

02:04:07.000 I'll accept that.

02:04:07.480 Gives us a little more time to figure things out.
