The New York Times has a story that the President has called treasonous. I don t agree with him on that, but I'm happy to see that we're actually doing something about it. However, let's remember that Putin said World War III is going to be fought with ones and zeros. So we are just entering another stage of this global game that I believe will end in WWIII. We'll get into that and what it means to you in a minute.
00:01:00.960Okay, I want you to really understand that mortgage rates, even a seemingly small decline in interest rates, can have a big impact on your home affordability.
00:01:13.920If interest rates start to rise, you're going to have a hard time paying for your mortgage if you have an adjustable loan.
00:01:21.500Now, mortgage rates look like they're going to go down again, which is a pretty big deal in many ways.
00:01:27.900One, it'll make your price of your loan and your home more affordable, but also that doesn't signal great things for the global economy.
00:01:35.980If you are looking to buy a home, you're probably not going to find mortgage rates as low as they are or will be here in the next few months in a very long time, I think, possibly ever.
00:01:48.400AmericanFinancing.net is the place that I would go and call them at 800-906-2440.
00:01:56.220They are the mortgage consultants that I trust.
00:01:59.220They're the mortgage consultants that don't get people wrapped up in mortgages they cannot afford.
00:02:04.220And they work not on commission, but salary.
00:02:07.660And so it doesn't matter if they sell you a mortgage or not.
00:02:11.780And remember, that's what banks are doing.
00:03:55.020But I don't agree with it because it was all vetted, apparently.
00:03:59.120And it it states it in the article through the State Department and the NSA and John Bolton.
00:04:08.080But here's what here's the basic gist of the story.
00:04:14.440Let me just give you the first paragraph.
00:04:15.640The United States is stepping up digital incursions into Russia's electric power grid in a warning to President Putin in a demonstration of how the Trump administration is using new authorities
00:04:27.640to deploy cyber tools more aggressively, current and former government officials say.
00:04:41.060In interviews over the past three months, the officials described the previously unreported deployment of American computer code inside Russia's grid
00:04:49.200and other targets as classified companion to a more publicly discussed action directed at Moscow's disinformation and hacking units around the 2018 midterm elections.
00:05:01.160Advocates for the more aggressive strategy say it's long overdue after years of public warnings from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI
00:05:08.660that Russia has inserted malware that could sabotage American power plants, oil and gas pipelines or water supplies in any future conflict within the United States.
00:05:55.740Now, imagine if you fry our electric grid, the chaos that would ensue just in a week.
00:06:02.720But if you could find a way like an EMP to destroy us, 95 percent of all Americans die within the first year if you just keep our electricity off.
00:06:57.120But the only thing that kept the world in balance was mutually assured destruction.
00:07:02.960Now, this does not work in cases like Iran.
00:07:08.240Mutually assured destruction does not matter to them because they are trying to.
00:07:14.120Now, this is very controversial to say, and I know a lot in the media will disagree with this.
00:07:19.780But all you have to do is read their words and take people at their word.
00:07:24.900When they say they're going to kill you, you should take them at their word.
00:07:28.760It's the reason why in 99, I saw Osama bin Laden as a threat and said that he would blow up buildings and there would be body and blood and buildings in the streets of Manhattan before the next decade.
00:07:39.800Or I said the next 10 years, and it would have Osama bin Laden's name on it.
00:07:44.400It was called crazy at the time, but it was not a prediction.
00:07:48.720It was looking at his words and saying, this is what he says he's going to do.
00:08:09.380They believe that if they can cause chaos by shutting down or destroying America and Israel, they will hasten the return of the promised one.
00:08:20.580Think of it as, you know, bringing think of it as a group of crazy Christians who are like, you know what, I'm tired of waiting for the second coming.
00:08:29.360So I'm just going to make sure that I help cause Armageddon.
00:08:34.200That's what the Iranians believe they are compelled to do.
00:11:33.620We have to do a show on Cyber Command.
00:11:35.140But in a public appearance Tuesday, President Trump's National Security Advisor, John Bolton, said the United States was now taking a broader view of potential digital targets as part of an effort to say to Russia or anyone else,
00:11:49.100that is, quote, that is engaged in cyber operations against us, you will pay a price, end quote.
00:11:55.740Power grids have been a low intensity battleground for years since 2012.
00:12:00.860Current and former officials say the United States has put reconnaissance probes into the control systems of the Russian electric grid.
00:12:09.040But now the American strategy has shifted more towards offense, officials say, with the placement of potentially crippling malware inside Russian systems,
00:12:19.100at a depth and with an aggressiveness that has never been tried before.
00:12:23.520It is intended partly as a warning and partly to be posed poised as a direct cyber strike if a major conflict broke out between Moscow and Russia.
00:12:35.660The commander said that it's time to defend forward.
00:12:39.220They don't fear us, he said to the Senate a year ago during his confirmation hearings, but finding a way to calibrate those responses so they deter attacks without inciting dangerous escalation has been the source of constant debate.
00:12:52.860Mr. Trump issued new authorities to cyber command last summer in a still classified document known as the National Security Presidential Memorandum 13,
00:13:06.200giving General Nakasun far more leeway to conduct offensive online operations without receiving presidential approval.
00:13:14.800So when people said, well, the president probably didn't know about it, could be, could be because he gave this far reaching authority to cyber command last summer.
00:13:28.220The action inside the Russian electric grid appears to have been conducted under a little known new legal authorities.
00:13:35.840Listen to the way this is slipped in to the military authorization bill passed by Congress last summer.
00:13:42.380This is why we don't do those big omnibus.
00:13:47.160The measure approved the routine conduct of clandestine military activity in cyber state in cyberspace to deter, safeguard or defend against attacks or malicious cyber activities against the United States.
00:14:01.740Now, I'm wondering if that gives them the authority to do that in country or only out of the country.
00:14:09.880Under these laws, these actions can now be authorized by the defense secretary without presidential approval.
00:14:20.400You don't keep giving power to different authorities.
00:14:25.540I don't know when we're going to get that, but nobody in Washington seems to get it yet.
00:14:30.720More on this and what it means and what you can do about it coming up in just a second.
00:14:35.420First, let me tell you about relief factor.
00:14:37.180If you are in pain, millions of Americans have changed their quality of life for the better.
00:14:46.500I have met with members of this audience who have real debilitating pain and their stories really before they started taking relief factor are heartbreaking.
00:14:54.820I know what it's like to live in real pain.
00:14:56.700They've told me stories of how they were hopeless because their lives cascaded into a fog of heavy pain medications.
00:15:04.700And it led to terrible choices, terrible consequences.
00:15:08.200Most of release factors clients are people who just can't enjoy taking a walk or playing golf or just playing with their kids or grandkids.
00:15:51.360So I just want to give you a couple of other things.
00:16:05.740Both Naxxon and Mr. Bolton, through a spokesman, declined to answer questions about the incursions into Russia's grid.
00:16:12.200Officials of the National Security Council also declined to comment, but said that they had no national security concerns about the details of the New York Times reporting
00:16:21.040about the targeting of the Russian grid, perhaps an indication that some of the intrusions were intended to be noticed by the Russians.
00:17:36.940But this gives him, you know, some some possible credibility when sitting down at the table with Moscow of I, you know what, Vlad, a little out of control there.
00:21:08.860Let me give you a couple of examples and show you what we should do about it next.
00:21:13.000If you're a regular listener, then you know that I support the United States Concealed Carry Association.
00:21:29.220They are one of the best self-defense, education, training, and legal protection out there for armed Americans, responsibly armed Americans.
00:21:39.020Plus, they have an awesome giveaway right now.
00:21:41.080They want to introduce themselves to you and show you what they can do for you.
00:21:44.600And they thought, you know, we could just say, hey, you know, come visit our website.
00:21:48.200Well, they decided to do something else.
00:21:49.980They decided to do something, I think, very ballsy in today's world.
00:25:31.900And we're already seeing this happening with the silencing of voices.
00:25:34.880And it's getting worse and worse and worse.
00:25:37.040And I want you to know that it's not like any other time before where if somebody said something and and, you know, Hitler wanted to, you know, make sure that they weren't heard from again.
00:25:54.000All you had to do was hide their books or hide their printed speeches or whatever.
00:29:00.220Stu, what was the story today from Great Britain where you can't have any kind of dangerous stereotypes?
00:29:09.900I love that because they never define that.
00:29:12.340Dangerous stereotypes in any advertising.
00:29:15.320Yeah, they gave, I think, six months lead time for these companies to figure out how to avoid all their dangerous stereotypes.
00:29:20.680And they talk about how it's like you can show a man working hard in a construction field.
00:29:28.840That's OK. But it's not OK to say to then say, well, he doesn't know what he's doing around the house.
00:29:37.180And when I first heard that, I'm like, well, so they're protecting men.
00:29:40.380So it looks like they're not incompetent.
00:29:41.760No, what that means is that only women know what they're doing around the house.
00:29:45.240And that's why it's bad, because women can't be shown to only be capable of doing these household chores.
00:29:53.160And like, you know, I don't know what year it was.
00:29:55.040We used to do these things on Pat and Stu all the time.
00:29:56.780These old timey like 1940s, you know, ads where it really was sexist.
00:30:02.560I mean, the hardcore sexism really, though, the only time you see that now, I mean, guys are constantly portrayed in these ads as being completely incompetent boobs that don't know how to do anything.
00:31:14.840And then there's also the the just the simple truths of live.
00:31:21.640For instance, Pat, there's a new My Little Pony series that's coming up.
00:31:28.700Yeah, this week, a couple of new characters are going to be introduced to the My Little Pony Discovery family channel.
00:31:36.200And they're going to be a new lesbian couple.
00:31:39.740And to avoid any ambiguity whatsoever, the the writer of the cartoon came out and said, because he didn't he didn't want anybody to be confused.
00:32:47.280Let me give you something here that has to be preserved.
00:32:52.460And I don't care what religion you are.
00:32:54.780This came out in 1995, and it was issued as a warning of what was coming and a stance to make sure that people knew that these things were God ordained.
00:33:09.700Now, this particular document has been used now by Pope Francis.
00:33:16.980Other religions are starting to take pieces of this out.
00:33:20.040In, I think, 2016, Francis asked for this document and then did one of his communications, you know, one of his big, I don't know what they call it, but declarations from the Pope based on this.
00:34:03.560Gender is an essential characteristic of individual, premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.
00:34:12.080In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshiped God as their eternal father and accepted his plan by which his children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress towards perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life.
00:34:29.020The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave, sacred ordinances and covenants available, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:34:37.700Now, the first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife.
00:34:44.900We declare that God's commandment for his children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force.
00:34:50.060We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman lawfully wedded as husband and wife.
00:34:59.500We declare the means by which mortal life is created to be divinely appointed.
00:35:04.640We affirm the sanctity of life, and it's important in God's eternal plan.
00:35:09.200Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children.
00:35:46.280Marriage between a man and a woman is essential to his eternal plan.
00:35:49.160Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony and reared by a father and mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity.
00:35:57.860Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:36:03.560Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.
00:36:16.440By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide for the necessities of life and protection of their families.
00:36:25.640Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children.
00:36:30.040In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners.
00:36:36.740Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation.
00:36:42.260Extended families should lend support when needed.
00:36:44.560We warn that individuals who violate these covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who have failed to fulfill family responsibilities, will one day stand accountable before God.
00:36:57.600We further warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.
00:37:07.300We call upon responsible citizens and governments and officers of governments everywhere to promote these measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as a fundamental unit of society.
00:37:19.040In 1994, everyone said, what the heck is that all about?
00:37:51.320Wikipedia, you'll find the story about it, but you won't find the text, which I thought was interesting, because if I look for the Declaration of Independence, I find the text as well as the story.
00:38:03.300These things will be erased and we must preserve them.
00:38:07.700And I want to get into that next hour.
00:38:14.040By the way, that's called the family proclamation.
00:38:16.400Woman in Michigan is at work when she gets called from SimpliSafe Home Security or alarm is going off and simply says, SimpliSafe says, there's a man in your house.
00:38:32.620And she said, he said, well, not if your landlord, you know, is a friend with your dog, because this guy broke into your house and is now trying to defend himself against your dog with one of your lamps.
00:38:47.920Police were moved her alarm alert from the bottom of the list to the top of the list three and a half times faster because they have eyes on.
00:38:58.940So when you have an alarm trip, they call you and say your alarm's gone off.
00:39:04.360If you are out of the house, they say, can we look into the house?
00:39:08.720They look into the house and they find out if somebody is actually, you know, breaking in.
00:39:13.760When they find that and they have visual verification, they call 911 and you get police responding faster.
00:39:56.100We're just talking about how crazy the world has become so rapidly.
00:40:01.720And, you know, when you look, when you go back and you look at this new ban in England on commercials where they can't have any dangerous stereotypes, which they don't define.
00:40:11.360So it'll just, you know, remain in limbo.
00:41:21.400And he has been historically very, very accurate in the way he reads polls and the polls that we should pay attention to and not pay attention to.
00:41:33.100So I wanted to get his read on what is really happening with the polls.
00:41:37.840And is the president in as much trouble as the press would have you believe?
00:42:29.680It's going to things that you fight against every day.
00:42:31.720So since 2015, this one group started by military guys, it's called Patriot Mobile.
00:42:41.240And since 2015, they have quietly raised over $2 million to support the Constitution and the values that we believe in, all while giving the people who use Patriot Mobile a better deal.
00:43:16.160We always say, we're going to boycott X, Y, and Z.
00:43:18.740And there's never a good alternative for us to boycott.
00:43:22.440You can say, I'm not going to watch a Marvel movie or a Disney movie ever again.
00:43:26.100You're going to because there's nobody making movies like that that are good.
00:43:30.560You can just replace him with Patriot Mobile is the first to stake out this claim, I think, to where they can say this is as good, if not better, because it's going to save you money.
00:43:42.400Right now, you'll get a free month of service when you switch over, and they'll make it really easy, to PatriotMobile.com.
00:43:52.700Promo code BECK, a free month of service at PatriotMobile.com.
00:43:57.460So I want to bring Stu right into the Glenn Beck program, and I don't want to really get into the politics, unless you think they're important, Stu, about the Trump firing of the pollsters, because politics is politics.
00:45:08.540I think kind of one of the important things you're seeing in the media is people basically saying Donald Trump is firing his pollsters because they showed him losing, as if, like, he's—you know, he—if they were showing him winning, he would have loved it.
00:45:28.980Yes, he was losing a lot of these states in these internal polls.
00:45:31.380Initially, Trump kind of said those polls don't exist.
00:45:34.180Then his campaign confirmed that they do, but they were from March, so they're outdated already anyway.
00:45:39.240But beyond that, like, the issue here is that they shouldn't be out in the public.
00:45:43.780They're supposed to be things used for internal use, right?
00:45:48.020So the reason why these people are getting fired is because they believe the leaks came from these pollsters.
00:45:53.320They believe these people went out there, took these polls, realized that the Trump administration was never going to let them out, and decided to leak them out.
00:46:02.140That's a huge problem, if that's true.
00:46:04.440You have to be able to trust your team.
00:46:08.040And so now there's another theory out there.
00:46:16.320No, I mean, that was interesting in that with Sarah Huckabee Sanders leaving, that was one of the people, you know, she hasn't been doing a lot of press conferences.
00:46:25.660However, she's become a pretty central advisor to him and one of the few people that he believed he could trust.
00:46:31.800I mean, Bill O'Reilly, as you pointed out, said nobody.
00:47:57.240The minute he stages, the minute he steps on his stage with Elizabeth Warren, she's done.
00:48:01.140The Elizabeth Warren thing is fascinating because it's as if the Democrats learned nothing.
00:48:06.180It's like, take Hillary Clinton and then pop with, you know, give her, fill her with, like, really leftist policies.
00:48:13.100So you'll not only lose her because of the style and her incompetence on the campaign, but you'll also lose a lot of people in the middle because they think she's too much of a socialist.
00:48:21.620Where, you know, Hillary at least tried to hide that.
00:48:49.320But if you look at that and you say which candidate is performing best against a Donald Trump and you see Joe Biden is usually number one in all these recent polls that have come out publicly, he's beating Trump by the most.
00:49:04.720And you see people who are still have large amounts of the Democrats and America, especially who have no idea who they are.
00:49:11.320I mean, people have no idea who Pete Buttigieg is yet.
00:49:43.100And I think the media's take on this, which is just trying to say, oh, Donald Trump is is shallow and he doesn't want to see people losing.
00:49:56.940That's a completely rational thing to do.
00:49:58.600I saw a clip earlier today on the blaze of Ocasio-Cortez, and she was on, I don't know, meet the press or something, and she was just horrible.
00:51:16.800Otherwise, Donald Donald Trump would not be president.
00:51:20.280They are looking for somebody who who who really understands what we're facing today, or at least represents that.
00:51:27.720I will tell you, if I were if I were if I were king of the political media and I was on Donald Trump's side, I would be saying to Donald Trump and his allies, all of the people who are the 501 C3s, all of the people who are working for the president's reelection but are not connected to him.
00:51:49.120They should really just concentrate on what the hell has happened to America.
00:51:55.100They should be doing all of the stuff about, you know, gay bathroom.
00:52:03.120All the things that have made people uncomfortable.
00:52:05.960The silencing of voices, the crazy political correctness that's going on.
00:52:11.880I would concentrate on the left and how crazy it has become and and and show the future using their own words behind the scenes and show this is not who you are.
00:52:59.960But even that wasn't reasonable enough because that's not where we're headed.
00:53:04.440And him just doing a very positive morning in America show who we really can be not in the past show who we can be, that our future is right here.
00:54:05.480Did you know that there's a black market for frequent flyer miles?
00:54:12.000At least a half dozen online markets have listing created by criminals who have stolen frequent flyer miles and they're trying to resell them.
00:54:20.640And it's really hard to detect the crime since people don't check their accounts that often.
00:54:25.200So the theft may go undetected for weeks or even months.
00:54:28.220There are so many ways that cyber criminals are trying to take what's yours.
00:58:22.780Though Biden, I think, stands in for the unnamed Democrat in a lot of ways.
00:58:26.640Because he's kind of the guy, he hasn't really campaigned yet.
00:58:30.060He's a guy that people know, but they know him largely for him being vice president.
00:58:34.220Which, as we all know, in most cases, is just a role.
00:58:38.660It's the backup quarterback role, right?
00:58:40.560People kind of predict, well, if this person came in, he'd be great.
00:58:43.520But you never actually see him doing anything if you're a Democrat.
00:58:45.920You've never seen him actually enacting these policies.
00:58:48.500And when he's tried to come out and propose things, he's really had a lot of trouble so far.
00:58:53.460I mean, the Hyde Amendment is the big one where he reversed himself a multi-decade stance against public funding for abortion.
00:59:00.960And he's come out and now reversed that stance a few times over the past few weeks.
00:59:07.160And that's a stance that is actually largely popular among the American people.
00:59:11.680Even people who are pro-choice, generally speaking, can get behind the idea, all right, let's not put, we know it's controversial, let's not put public funding behind it.
00:59:20.040It's only a slight majority of Democratic voters who support overturning the Hyde Amendment.
00:59:26.700So, I mean, it's one of those issues that if he's wavering on something, that's a simple one to be quote-unquote centrist about.
00:59:35.660I mean, what this campaign could do to him over a long period of time, he may look just as socialist as any of the others.
00:59:41.820So I just, and maybe it's just me, I just think that when America, if the campaign is run right, when America says, all right, I've got the chaos of the Trump administration, you never know how to predict it, you know.
00:59:57.200And I'm tired of the fighting back and forth.
01:00:00.240However, when I look at who he's fighting against, he's fighting against the press, and most Americans don't trust the press.
01:00:09.340And he's also, if they run things properly, when you look at things like abortion, and you look at really pretty much everything, he's in step with the American people.
01:00:28.000And when it comes down to it, they may say right now, you know what, I don't like all the chaos, I don't like all the bickering back and forth.
01:00:35.780But when it comes down to it, if the economy is doing well, he will, they will look and say, you know what, I got a job, things are going pretty well.
01:01:01.860Yeah, huge risk for Democrats in nominating someone like Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, especially, who's outwardly telling you they want to change the fabric of our society.
01:03:32.320Two big stories, I think, that were happening this weekend, at least that caught my eye, was, one, the poll numbers, and we just addressed those.
01:03:40.420And the second big story was the New York Times, quote, scandal of what they came out and talked about with Russia.
01:03:48.680And I hit that earlier on, first thing on the hour one of this broadcast.
01:04:14.460And there are digital players that are in bed with the left and this idea that America was never great, America is a problem, and the free market is a problem.
01:04:32.260And that's a problem to us because we're living every day with technology that is really remarkable.
01:04:38.200I mean, take a moment and just think about how remarkable our lives are right now.
01:04:45.520Nobody has ever had it as easy as we have it right now.
01:05:20.440At the same time, and this kind of goes back to what we were talking about with the cyber warfare between Russia and the United States, voices can be silenced.
01:08:23.480Imagine that in a much quicker fashion.
01:08:25.860You see what they're doing with groups like these hardcore, extreme, you know, let's say, you know, neo-Nazis and things.
01:08:34.660You see the tactics they use against them, which obviously all these groups are horrific.
01:08:38.780But you see what they do against them.
01:08:41.000And then you see that they do the same thing up the line where someone like Alex Jones, who might be the next step there, is now gone from all the social media.
01:08:49.340When's the last time you've heard anybody even talk about Alex Jones other than just referencing him being banned?
01:08:53.740I mean, what the heck is he talking about anymore?
01:09:09.340But I am also not jumping on the bandwagon.
01:09:12.780Apparently, child porn was found on his company servers, and he's offered a million dollars for anybody that can prove that it was planted there because he said it was it was planted.
01:10:03.620The next step for for Alex Jones is probably what the next step was against these white supremacist organizations and such, where instead of, OK, we kicked him off of social media.
01:10:30.700OK, so here's what here's what I want to ask you to do.
01:10:34.640And we're going to do this over over several days.
01:10:37.020It might take weeks to do this because I want to talk to people that I really respect and get their their look in this, too.
01:10:43.520I want to start putting a collection together about the library that needs to be preserved and a library that we that we all should have at least parts of it.
01:10:53.380You know, for instance, we should all have the Geneva Bible.
01:10:56.800And I you know, you should have the King James Bible, but also the Geneva Bible, because that's the one that led us into freedom.
01:11:05.120And and David Barton has a good version of this.
01:11:08.260It's the Patriots Bible where it explains it in today's language.
01:11:11.500But you need to have a Geneva Bible or a Patriots Bible from David Barton.
01:11:16.440You need to have a King James version, because who knows how those things are changed or if they're just outlawed wealth of nations, along with moral sentiments.
01:11:28.380If we are looking at a bunch of people who say that capitalism is bad and the free market just needs to be destroyed, you have to destroy wealth of nations.
01:11:39.760We've already destroyed moral sentiments that those are both by Adam Smith.
01:11:45.700You need both of them together because moral sentiments is what keeps the wealth of nations actually happening, because it it makes it more moral road to serfdom.
01:12:54.580So we need to look at the things that are really about America, about the truths of America, about the truth that are so easily being lost right now.
01:13:09.280I think Coming Apart by Charles Murray is a really important book because it shows what was happening to us.
01:13:17.420It shows, you know, all those controversial things that nobody wanted to talk about that shows the original divine divide.
01:13:24.280You know, I think we need books like Greg Easterbrook's book, It's Better Than It Looks.
01:13:33.900Or, Stu, what's the one that you would say, what's his name, that is the really positive, Stephen Pinker.
01:15:54.820Everyone should have the Federalist Papers in there.
01:15:57.480But what books need to be saved, both good and bad, from digital ghettoization or like we will talk about coming up in just a second, what the real point of the story from the New York Times this weekend and Donald Trump.
01:16:14.800The point of the story with Russia is that we are trying to be in place with Russia and other countries where we can shut all electronics down, all electricity, everything.
01:16:26.300We shut it all down because that's the way, according to Putin, the next war will be fought.
01:18:41.920You can, you can change the look of your house right now and you'll get great site-wide savings plus an extra 20% or I'm sorry, $20 off on top of that with promo code back.
01:18:54.460Get an extra 20 bucks off with the promo code B E C K site-wide savings right now, plus 20 bucks off the top of that just for using my name back blinds dot com rules and restrictions to apply.
01:20:24.360The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:20:29.160You know, we were, uh, it's really funny.
01:20:35.060We, we, we were, uh, we were talking at one point that they would just come out and then they would just say what they were really trying to do.
01:20:42.560That the radicals, the progressives would start to say, look, I'm a democratic socialist.
01:22:54.540So, Stu, can you take us through the audio, the audio that we just heard, if you were listening on the Blaze TV or watching or listening on the Blaze TV?
01:23:05.420It's pretty stunning audio of people just taking their masks off.
01:23:09.840Yeah, you talked about this for a very long time, and we've seen it in different levels, even up to the presidential election.
01:23:15.380Now we have Democratic Socialists obviously saying they're going to run.
01:23:37.240Sweden, Norway, those are free market systems.
01:23:41.680Those are capitalist nations with a very large safety net.
01:23:45.820So, it's easy for somebody to say, look, I want Sweden.
01:23:50.180We just are going to have to have higher taxes.
01:23:52.740We still keep the free market the way it is.
01:23:54.780In fact, we should reduce some of the regulation because Sweden and Norway are way ahead of us on less regulation.
01:24:01.680So, businesses can make more money, but people make more money, and that's we get the taxes, and we take that money, and we have a big safety net.
01:24:10.980But that's the message of Norway and Denmark, not what Democratic Socialists are saying.
01:24:16.740Yeah, and we should point out, obviously, there's major issues with that.
01:24:19.880I mean, you know, it's easy to do a Norway and a Denmark when you have a United States doing all the innovations for you, right?
01:24:25.440Like, it's easy to be able to live off essentially the work of other countries who have a freer market.
01:24:30.260And then, of course, there's other more, you know, day-to-day pragmatic things.
01:24:34.780Like, for example, you know, the average new home in the United States is 2,600 square feet.
01:24:39.580The average residence in Norway is something like 780.
01:24:44.040I think the biggest thing is, and this is even too big of a state, but you could do this in, let's say, Manhattan, or you could do this in California.
01:24:52.560If it was a country, and they had to live within their own means, and they had to live with the consequences of what they wanted to do, without dragging the rest of the country in with them.
01:25:03.880This is a very large country, huge population, very diverse.
01:25:11.960So if you wanted to do it in California, do it in California, but we cut all ties to you financially, meaning we're not going to bail you out.
01:25:29.080However, most of the people who say they're democratic socialists, when you're talking about people who are philosophically advocating that viewpoint, as we've seen from Jacobin and the piece we've talked about several times in Fox, where they talk about basically what we're looking to do is overthrow capitalism.
01:25:49.760We want to overthrow it because we think it's bad.
01:25:51.820They'll eventually admit it if you kind of actually go after them.
01:25:55.500Well, in the Denver City Council, Candy Kabaka, I believe is her name, she talks about capitalism and wants to make sure that everyone understands what she really wants.
01:26:07.940And this is not just this little vision of Norway that we've been sold.
01:26:12.120This is full government ownership, ownership by the state of the means of production.
01:26:19.480What experience do you have on shaping the economy of the city and not turning Denver into a true welfare state where there is limited potential for personal wealth and savings?
01:26:30.740Well, I guess we'll just address the elephant in the room.
01:26:34.060I don't believe that our current economic system actually works.
01:28:32.920Or they are or they're actively involved in it.
01:28:38.180I mean, these these they're telling you what they want to do.
01:28:42.300And and I guess part of it is we haven't learned about nobody young has learned about the Soviet Union, has learned about the socialist experiments.
01:29:02.840And then the pilgrims, they all tried socialist.
01:29:05.320You know, it wasn't called socialism then, but they all tried this.
01:29:08.900We, you know, we'll all decide and we'll all just put our money in a big heap and it doesn't work.
01:29:14.600The the a really big experiment happened in Texas, believe it or not.
01:29:20.720And if you ever look at the skyline of Texas, just Google it real quick and you'll see a big ball around ball and it's lit up at night and it's the reunion tower.
01:29:32.660Nobody knows what the reunion tower is.
01:30:34.980We were going to try a socialist experiment in America and in the West.
01:30:41.100Well, it will end exactly the same way.
01:30:45.700And it's amazing to me that people have not been taught the difference between the free market and what we're doing now, which is crony capitalism, crony capitalism.
01:30:58.520The reason why this is failing in many ways is because of many of the things that the socialists are doing in companies like Google and Facebook.
01:31:26.080So the things that we hate about capitalism, crony capitalism, that these companies just get bigger and bigger and they don't have to abide by the laws that you have to abide to.
01:31:37.140Why is it that that Google and Facebook are having a problem right now?
01:31:43.080They're having a problem because they they don't have to pick between a publisher being a publisher where they edit and they're responsible and you can sue them or a platform, which is just an open platform.
01:31:54.840And everyone can say whatever they want on it.
01:32:00.280They want to have a platform that they can edit if they choose, but not get sued if they don't choose the right ones or don't catch something because they're a platform, but have all the the benefits of being a publisher as well in control speech.
01:32:16.060Why, why, why are we having a problem because it's in bed with the government?
01:32:21.200Why are we having a problem with so many things?
01:33:46.540True revolutionaries know you got to break a lot of eggs to make an omelet.
01:33:50.920You just listen to George Soros in his own words on 60 Minutes when he said, look, so a lot of people, you know, they hurt, but, you know, it's kind of fun doing this.
01:34:04.640You're destroying people and you don't care.
01:34:07.660Because it's not about the individual.
01:34:22.440And somehow or another, well, we did not somehow or another, we know how it happened.
01:34:28.240They have made sure that our children are not educated in this and that our values and our principles are being sidelined and being silenced and discredited every step of the way.
01:34:40.480And we need to draw a line in the sand and say, no more, not a, not an inch further and preserve those things in our own life, in our own homes, and make sure that we know how this story usually ends.
01:34:56.040And we write ourselves into the story.
01:35:27.800If you have a variable mortgage or you're looking to buy a home, that's really great news.
01:35:32.480If they drop them, please lock your mortgage in to a non-adjustable rate.
01:35:39.740You do not want an adjustable rate because you never know.
01:35:43.840You can, if it goes down, you can always refi again.
01:35:46.740If it goes up, you're screwed and you may not be able to afford your house.
01:35:50.860And I don't know if history would tell us that the rates are going to go up, but really bad history, like, you know, Weimar Republic history will tell us that it's going to go below zero.
01:36:03.700We don't know, but until the world is, uh, stop acting insane and stop moving towards insanity at a faster and faster clip.
01:36:12.980I suggest you lock your rates in and American financing can help you do that.
01:38:35.440And I was thinking to myself, I could do this.
01:38:37.160And then I thought, no, I really couldn't, I couldn't do this my whole life.
01:38:39.800I love when the politicians come out and they're like, well, look, I just, we, we need to get these manufacturing jobs back.
01:38:45.820And when none of these people had manufacturing jobs, like manufacturing jobs are, are great.
01:38:51.440And they, you know, they are obviously a central part of our economy, but very few of the people advocating for them have actually done them.
01:38:58.900You get your, you're in pain afterwards.
01:39:00.780You, you know, they, they talk about, uh, this replacement of truck drivers, right.
01:39:06.300With all these automated, uh, vehicles.
01:39:08.940And what they're finding is when these automations come and not all of them, obviously, this is just very beginning of the circle.
01:39:15.200But what they think is going to happen is a lot of these truck drivers who will go on, especially ones who are maybe old enough and not, you know, to look, be able to train for another gig.
01:39:23.380Are going to retire, look around for a while and eventually go on disability because almost all of them have ailments that could qualify you for disability because they all have had to drive around and they have back problems and they have all sorts of physical issues that absolutely qualify them.
01:53:50.680Go to iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts.
01:53:53.000First thing you do when you get into your car, especially if, you know, somebody else has been driving it, is you adjust the seat.
01:54:08.220And if you have a nice car, a luxury car, if you're blessed enough to be able to drive one of those, you know that it has all kinds of adjustments.
01:54:15.200And it can adjust, you know, the lumbar support and you can get it just right.
01:56:08.480Are we competing in what what Putin says is World War Three a fight of ones and zeros?
01:56:16.240According to this article, we are and the president knows about it because he signed in some new some new latitude for the the general in charge of cyber warfare.
01:56:28.460The second article that was out this weekend, the second big talking point was that the president's poll numbers are falling apart.
01:56:36.580And and he's fired people because he doesn't like bad poll numbers.
01:56:56.220It's something that he needs to kick off with a real positive vision for the American future.
01:57:01.380And he needs to execute on that vision.
01:57:03.540I actually hope that the the polls convince the Democrats that Elizabeth Warren is the guy is the woman to run against.
01:57:13.780President Trump, President Trump, because I think she's a disaster.
01:57:16.940She is perhaps the only candidate, perhaps, perhaps, because this is saying quite a bit, perhaps the only candidate that could possibly ever show up.
01:58:10.580It was over 18,000 for three days and 17,000 for five days.
01:58:14.920But the fact is, if you bought cryptocurrency in any month other than the peak month, I think it's now looking back at it, 24 of 26 months since the boom started, you're currently up.
01:58:29.600So, yes, if you bought at the absolute peak, you're down.
01:58:32.560But I mean, it would be difficult to do that.
01:58:34.500It was only at the absolute peak for one day.
01:58:36.960If you bought 20, any time in the 24 to 20 out of the 26 other months since the boom started, you're actually up right now.
01:58:46.620And, you know, the media is not talking about it anymore.
01:58:53.440And I don't know if anyone remembers the time that the tulip, you know, boom happened and then it lost all of its value and then regained half of its value a year and a half later.
01:59:03.280Because I don't remember that part of the story.
