Z-Stack, if you haven't looked into it yet, you should.
00:00:04.880
It's a specially formulated immune-boosting supplement that includes zinc,
00:00:19.740
He's a world-renowned doctor that President Trump credited
00:00:22.620
with his successful early treatment protocol that helped him on the mend.
00:00:30.500
He has been following this and studying what we need to do
00:00:40.920
And we're at a place now that you can take care of yourself.
00:00:44.080
There are things you can do to boost your immune system.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:03.680
I don't know about you, but I was really impressed with the sanctions package yesterday.
00:02:13.700
I mean, assuming somebody's going to throw him down a flight of stairs as well.
00:02:21.760
Otherwise, this is not really going to hurt Putin at all.
00:02:27.240
I've heard that they've blocked Putin from playing Ms. Pac-Man.
00:02:34.260
Not regular Pac-Man he can play, of course, but Ms. Pac-Man in Africa.
00:02:38.220
And they're taking away his buy one Burger King sandwich and get the second one free.
00:02:55.520
Just the participating locations in the Netherlands.
00:03:09.820
These sanctions are not supposed to be effective.
00:03:11.680
We were, I mean, yes, they're a deterrent, but nobody really thought they would deter anything.
00:03:18.900
You're an idiot if you think the deterrents would deter.
00:03:28.640
And I don't want you to think that I'm uncaring or anything.
00:03:33.420
He had a puncture somewhere like at his jugular.
00:03:38.460
I handed him a Band-Aid, and I said, don't worry.
00:03:42.260
Let's try this for a month or so, and I'll come back and see how it's working.
00:03:48.100
So, in a month, if he's still bleeding, I'll...
00:03:58.140
I would like you to refi your mortgage and get a lower rate.
00:04:05.240
It's an opportunity to access home equity, fund home improvements, maybe pay off some high
00:04:23.080
The only mortgage lender I have ever recommended are the salary-based mortgage consultants that
00:04:46.140
Man, those sanctions, we are really just hammering them.
00:04:55.900
By the way, here is the White House Deputy National Security Advisor talking to a Reuters
00:05:08.200
Targeting the Russian energy industry is totally off the table.
00:05:12.860
What I'm saying is that our measures were not designed to disrupt in any way the current
00:05:20.440
Now, we have also said we are going to cut off Russia's access to cutting-edge technology.
00:05:25.820
That technology can be used across many sectors.
00:05:29.200
And so as it relates to Russia's long-term productive capacity, we are seeking to degrade
00:05:34.600
that capacity, but nothing in the short term as it relates to energy.
00:05:39.120
So, really, Russia makes all of its money with oil.
00:05:49.640
So we're not going to disrupt them when it comes to oil.
00:05:57.080
In fact, the United States imports now about 22, 23 million barrels of oil a month from Russia.
00:06:14.940
We've increased it by 623,000 barrels last week.
00:06:20.760
So we're buying even more oil from Russia to be able to have oil here in the United States.
00:06:30.180
And we don't want to do anything that would disrupt their flow of oil.
00:06:40.560
We're going to hit them in the financial sector.
00:06:42.800
Now, we're still going to let them do international banking and transfers and everything with SWIFT.
00:06:49.440
These sanctions, these sanctions here in the United States that we seem to be taking all by ourself,
00:07:14.320
He's going to he'd have a hard time making his rent payments.
00:07:17.680
You know, he might have a hard time just buying a new suit.
00:07:30.160
Well, if you sanctioned Vladimir Putin, they might return the favor and sanction the Biden family, who does a lot of international traveling.
00:07:42.260
The Secret Service just lost about three years of their travel records.
00:07:53.260
The exact three where all of this suspicious travel was happening with Russia and Ukraine and stuff.
00:08:09.680
We are on all of the things that you care about.
00:08:14.780
Now, remember, we're not going to cut off the oil from Russia.
00:08:27.320
Because standing for our principles sometimes hurts.
00:08:36.920
No, I feel so much better that Vladimir Putin's not going to hurt.
00:08:43.700
But the American people are going to hurt because you're standing, quote, for our principles.
00:09:05.080
I'm very concerned about Ukraine because of the people of Ukraine and because of the principles that are at risk.
00:09:13.740
In terms of international law and trying to change boundaries of international law by force.
00:09:20.240
I thought we lived in a world that had said no to that kind of activity.
00:09:31.560
But equally importantly, you're going to lose people's focus.
00:09:35.180
You're going to lose certainly big country attention because they will be diverted.
00:09:43.480
So, you know, I think hopefully President Putin would realize that in the northern part of his country, they used to live on 66 percent of a nation that was over frozen land.
00:10:00.940
And so I hope President Putin will help us to stay on track with respect to what we need to do for the climate.
00:10:08.860
If global warming continues, some of his country might be livable.
00:10:15.800
He's putting his infrastructure at risk in 100 years.
00:10:23.300
So there's another reason why I don't think we should be so harsh on Vladimir Putin, you know.
00:10:33.860
I mean, if I was over in Ukraine and, you know, I heard tough sanctions were coming.
00:10:40.600
And we're going to, we're going to sock it to him.
00:10:44.460
Boy, this is going to, this will shake him to the core.
00:10:48.200
We're not going to affect any of his, you know, key industries.
00:10:51.800
Um, and we're not going to sanction him, but we're going to call him a couple of names and then we'll check back in a month.
00:10:58.780
I don't know about you, but as a Ukrainian, I would be like, whew.
00:11:07.260
You were the one that really caused this with the, you know, the pipeline.
00:11:12.440
And then you told us to shut up and we shouldn't say anything about the, you know, the opening of up of the pipeline with Germany.
00:11:21.180
We were told, hey, don't wreck the United States relationship with Germany and Russia.
00:11:31.300
I, I think as a Ukrainian citizen, I would love the United States.
00:11:39.580
You know, Glenn, I've noticed a little bit of, of criticism over, from John, over John Kerry's comments.
00:11:45.980
Yeah, people are saying that maybe he's prioritized the wrong thing when it comes to the climate over, you know, the ongoing crisis.
00:11:53.180
However, when you think about what the left has been saying for the past couple decades, the existential threat that is really putting us in danger is the climate.
00:12:07.020
It's more important than a Russia that is expansionist.
00:12:17.180
Wouldn't it be inconsistent for him not to blather on about the climate in the middle of this crisis?
00:12:27.760
I like the compassion that so many people have.
00:12:32.080
For instance, oh my gosh, this one, this one, you are going to be, you're going to be, I think, very upset.
00:12:41.380
I don't know if you're going to be able to continue on with the show today.
00:12:54.460
Estimates are 50,000 Ukrainians will be dead or wounded.
00:12:58.480
And that this is going to start a humanitarian crisis, a refugee crisis in Europe.
00:13:03.700
We're talking about five million people that are going to be displaced.
00:13:09.240
It's heartbreaking to hear what is going to happen.
00:13:13.360
I'm scared of what's going to happen in Western Europe, too.
00:13:21.020
I haven't been able to make it because of the pandemic.
00:13:24.680
And now this, you know, it's like, who's going to, what's going to happen there?
00:13:53.020
What happens if, what if a global war breaks out and she can't go?
00:14:12.060
I mean, when you hear, when, when you hear the, the compassion of one of them saying, you
00:14:20.140
know, and there's 50,000 displaced and it just breaks your heart.
00:14:33.520
I mean, you plan a vacation, you know, to go to Italy and, uh, you know, first there's
00:14:39.340
COVID and I've wanted to go for four years and now this, what's going to happen next?
00:14:47.480
Well, I've been, uh, importing slave children from the region and I, my orders are all,
00:14:53.120
Now, if there's a supply chain issue with all the slave children, I've been trying to
00:15:10.940
Again, it's completely consistent with who these people are, with who joy.
00:15:15.820
Bayhar is completely consistent as Pat gray notes the, the most inappropriately named person
00:15:38.260
Is she going to be able to go before there's world war three and Italy is destroyed?
00:15:50.440
Will the world explode before she gets her vacation?
00:15:56.840
I mean, we just live, we're living in a parallel universe.
00:16:00.960
There is nothing about what I see on TV and what I see these people say that is connected
00:16:22.540
Like, we are going to buy, we buy, what, 7% of our oil from Russia.
00:16:30.620
We, Europe is still buying the same amount of gas or more than they did last week.
00:16:38.620
I mean, in theory, Vladimir Putin could go on a vacation right now to Italy and not be
00:16:46.620
Well, he would probably go to, I mean, he's wanted to go to Italy for a while.
00:16:50.580
And he's probably thinking, you know, maybe Italy, I'll hold off a bit, but I should go
00:17:01.580
You know, you might see some changes in some buildings.
00:17:05.400
Some of those old historic buildings may be knocked down by a tank or two soon.
00:17:13.720
Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:17:19.560
He said, prior to starting Relief Factor, I almost always had pain in my knees and my
00:17:25.580
But after a day or two of taken Relief Factor, the pain started disappearing.
00:17:36.680
The doctors put together a recipe of four different ingredients that attack our body's
00:17:51.120
And it helps your body fight the effects of aging, exercise, and everyday living.
00:18:01.540
It helps your body fight against the effects of aging, exercise, and daily living.
00:18:14.860
It helps your body recover from crack smoking, falling off of roofs, and exercise.
00:18:58.380
And, Stu, I know you've been trying to get a GM car for a while.
00:19:05.580
I mean, you order your car, you wait six months, and then somebody goes and nukes the city.
00:19:26.600
People, I've heard some people say, like, I can't get interested in this.
00:19:29.940
I mean, Ukraine and Russia, I mean, it's way on the other side of the world.
00:19:37.700
Like, you know, it's, we've had enough problems of our own.
00:19:42.080
However, with these people in control, with these people having influence on the outcome
00:19:47.880
of these events, it is definitely, it's a non-zero chance that we all blow up because
00:19:55.520
If there is a non-zero chance that somebody winds up doing something stupid, their side
00:20:04.020
are ours, which winds up in a chain reaction that launches another world war and then forget
00:20:12.880
the freaking pandemic and what it did to our economy and what it did to lives.
00:20:20.240
Well, the good news is Biden did say after the speech that if Putin doesn't get his fourth
00:20:33.600
Did you see, by the way, I was laughing at all, you know, look, all these war reporters
00:20:37.160
are doing things that are brave and I would never do.
00:20:39.480
But like, I keep seeing them in these like subway, you know, cutouts, you know, they're
00:20:54.360
We saw this one lady who's like, I can't, there's only a 35% vaccination rate in Ukraine.
00:21:01.120
Yeah, there was somebody, that was a very viral tweet yesterday.
00:21:04.880
People were mocking it appropriately, but the bottom line is like, do these things go
00:21:11.300
I mean, like I, they don't seem to care about any of this stuff when, when it, when it
00:21:16.540
When it, when it's, it's not just, you know, you're not, you're not, you're not virtue signaling
00:21:22.880
Obviously, you shouldn't care about that type of thing at that point, but it is amazing
00:21:37.900
Um, Putin, uh, apparently got together with, um, uh, president Ping, uh, over in China
00:21:55.660
I can't say the word China without thinking Jed.
00:22:03.400
Putin and, uh, China got together and, uh, maybe that's why our president, you know, when
00:22:11.440
asked, Hey, have you consulted with, uh, Jed yet?
00:22:14.780
And he's like, I don't care to comment on that.
00:22:20.740
They're, they're up too busy on the phone with Putin.
00:22:26.600
And thank you to everyone who wanted to see a return to normalcy.
00:22:39.380
Car shield plenty to be stressed out about who writes this copy.
00:22:46.960
Oh, Stu, not getting his car because they nuked Detroit and the climate.
00:22:56.460
Anyway, if your car breaks down, what are you going to do?
00:23:01.120
Uh, you're going to wait for, uh, chips to come from Jed.
00:23:05.160
How much is it going to cost you to repair your car?
00:23:08.900
Especially if it is one of those chips, what is it going to cost you just in a rental car
00:23:26.260
I get coverage just like I get, uh, you know, insurance for bad things happening to me like

00:24:38.040
When I heard that the fourth year in a row, Joy Behar may not be able to go to Italy.
00:24:50.640
And now, you know, if I don't get to Italy every third weekend or so.
00:25:01.920
Play the audio, the stunning, stunning, sad audio from Joy Behar yesterday.
00:25:07.340
Well, I'm scared of what's going to happen in Western Europe too.
00:25:14.780
I haven't been able to make it because of the pandemic and now this, you know, it's
00:25:19.880
like, who's going to, what's going to happen there?
00:25:27.320
Wouldn't you, wouldn't you, if you were having that conversation with somebody, wouldn't you
00:25:34.580
I mean, did you just hear 50,000 people are going to be dead and you're worried about
00:25:41.500
And they do, to be fair, they know she's drunk.
00:25:46.280
So they don't, maybe they don't, are you sober?
00:25:58.340
I mean, she's a, she's a killer of Joy, but yeah.
00:26:02.360
Listen, I mean, generally speaking, the people who are this crazy, John, John Kerry, he, he,
00:26:12.620
he really is concerned about this war because of how it will affect global warming.
00:26:27.560
We're not talking about people who see people and individuals.
00:26:34.440
They, he's willing and forget about those people.
00:26:47.160
He did bring up a great point about Northern Russia and the fact that 66% of the soil is
00:26:56.060
frozen and now it's starting to thaw and you don't want that because you might be able
00:27:01.840
to grow extra food and then somebody might poison those food stocks.
00:27:19.780
Would they care in Russia that, oh, it's not frozen anymore.
00:27:21.720
Like maybe you argue that it's going to get warmer somewhere else and, but like, I don't
00:27:27.520
They're pretty excited about this idea of thawing soil.
00:27:34.460
As long as it doesn't affect the average farmer's ability to get to Italy.
00:27:43.960
We have to save the climate effects of, of this war so that we can make sure we continue
00:27:52.700
Can I, can I ask you, um, has the world ever been this confusing ever?
00:28:00.560
I mean, I don't understand anything that is going on.
00:28:08.400
We, we upped our order of oil by 623,000 barrels of oil from Russia here to the United States
00:28:19.080
Last week, we say we're going to put sanctions on Russia, uh, and really cripple them.
00:28:29.360
You stop the ability of Russia being able to sell oil.
00:28:40.140
So maybe Iranian oil can get out and, and ease the suffering.
00:28:53.240
It's, I think I said yesterday, I don't think we understand Vladimir Putin's real motivation.
00:29:10.780
He's, he's logically getting to that goal though.
00:29:13.300
He's using logic and planning and a cold calculated nature to get himself to those goals.
00:29:21.120
We just didn't understand, nor can we think like him.
00:29:31.740
And without understanding his motivations, you can't fight him.
00:29:41.500
Is Biden senile or does he have a different agenda?
00:30:07.080
They're doing the best job that's ever been done.
00:30:13.940
He couldn't even admit a mistake in Afghanistan.
00:30:18.580
And there's this, there's this kind of, Jim Garrity wrote about this this week, the concept
00:30:21.440
of mirroring when you're talking about foreign affairs, where like you just assume the person
00:30:27.060
you're dealing with has the same sort of motivations, generally speaking, as we do.
00:30:32.840
And that's completely insane when you're dealing with Kim Jong-un or President Xi or
00:30:42.620
I mean, honestly, guys, you cannot be this wrong all the time.
00:30:56.300
As we respond, my administration is using the tools, every tool to dispose of, to protect
00:31:01.740
American families and businesses from rising prices at the gas pump.
00:31:06.780
You know, we're taking active steps to bring down the cost.
00:31:10.060
And American oil and gas companies should not, should not exploit this moment to hike their
00:31:18.400
You know, in our sanctions package, we specifically designed to allow energy payments to continue.
00:31:23.880
We are closely monitoring energy supplies for any disruption.
00:31:30.760
In our sanctions, we clearly made a path for, what did he say?
00:31:39.980
Listen, listen to what he says about the sanctions.
00:31:42.320
We're taking active steps to bring down the cost and American oil and gas companies should
00:31:47.780
not, should not exploit this moment to hike their prices, to raise profits.
00:31:53.440
You know, in our sanctions package, we specifically designed to allow energy payments to continue.
00:32:07.480
In our sanctions, we made sure that we could continue to write checks to Russian oil.
00:32:14.780
So don't you dare American companies raise your prices on gas.
00:32:31.940
Before Biden, I'm pretty sure we were getting zero oil from Russia.
00:32:39.160
We had eliminated, uh, imports from Russia and Venezuela and all the bad actors in the
00:32:45.420
We were energy independent and we were exporters for the first time in a really long time.
00:32:51.560
I mean, it's only been recently that we started exporting oil again.
00:32:54.940
I think it was the fifties the last time that that happened.
00:33:08.060
Yesterday, Mark Andreessen came out and he said, um, we should be planning.
00:33:14.480
I think he said like 200 nuke facilities in the United States right now.
00:33:21.280
I think he said a thousand nuclear plants need to be built worldwide.
00:33:50.140
I mean, even if you believe that, uh, you know, all of the fossil fuels have to stop right
00:33:59.180
You're the president of the United States of America.
00:34:02.940
America, we have the ability to be a mass exporter, but you're willing to make a deal with a terrorist
00:34:13.460
state and you're willing to pay Putin for his oil.
00:34:29.860
We would rather do business with a terrorist state and Vladimir Putin than open the spigot
00:34:41.560
How is that the president of the United States?
00:34:44.620
How is that a guy looking out for the average American for the American way of life?
00:34:50.420
You're putting more money into the hands of people who are now saying to you, yeah, Poland's
00:35:01.140
And if not, they're saying, uh, we have to destroy the great Satan.
00:35:07.800
Especially on the heels of this, where energy payments from Europe and us as well, but largely
00:35:15.160
Europe have funded a rainy day fund for Vladimir Putin and all of his oligarchs to the tune
00:35:20.200
of hundreds of billions of dollars so that our sanctions won't do anything in this moment.
00:35:24.640
So now we're going to create another regime where we're going to fund billions and billions
00:35:28.320
of dollars, uh, and, and have all that money go to them so that when they decide to start
00:35:35.800
And may I just say, I hope and pray I'm not inconvenienced further by having to detour my
00:35:42.740
plans to go to Taipei, Taiwan, uh, because China sees what's going on in Russia and then
00:35:49.040
takes that bold move to, to take back, uh, Taiwan.
00:35:53.940
I have the timeshare and if I can't use it this year, I'm going to be very put out.
00:36:02.320
That was the last time I was in Taipei soon and you're still paying those maintenance
00:36:08.020
Every year, every year, every year, the suffering suffering just continues.
00:36:20.780
Well, I almost didn't come in today because of it.
00:36:25.500
And congratulations on the bravery that you showed this morning on Pat Gray Unleashed when
00:36:32.700
Many people might be embarrassed by something like that as a man.
00:36:36.520
There's not enough examples of weak and pathetic men in our society.
00:36:45.140
I'm a little offended by you calling me a man as a matter of fact.
00:36:49.320
I thought you were to say you were offended for being called weak and pathetic.
00:36:55.820
The binary thinking there really pissed me off.
00:36:58.160
Well, there's no salvaging you anyway because you're white.
00:37:03.760
Anyway, thank you so much, Pat, for stopping by for some strange reason.
00:37:08.860
Let's tell you about something that needs to be in every person's home.
00:37:16.560
The siren song of leftism is strong and there is no shortage of people amplifying it to be
00:37:26.200
You understand your children are just not adopting your values in a vacuum.
00:37:32.140
You know, when we were growing up as kids, the society was still the culture was still
00:37:37.920
somebody standing in line at the grocery store while you were being stupid and they go, aren't
00:37:49.180
I don't think your folks would like to know what you're doing right now and you would behave
00:37:54.940
because we were all in it together and we all were pretty much rowing in the same direction.
00:38:03.280
Now we're just hitting each other over the head with, with the oars and especially your
00:38:09.400
kids getting hit over the head with a socialist, uh, or every time they go to school, you need
00:38:16.880
to teach them the truth and kids are not going to learn these things through osmosis.
00:38:22.700
You know, why is a small government better than a big government?

Uh, I don't understand what is happening with this pro Putin, um, feeling that is going
00:39:33.940
around with so many, so many people, so many conservatives, especially, um, Putin is a monster.
00:39:43.800
He is a psychopathic killer, always has been, he has raped and pillaged his own country.
00:39:55.620
If they report on him, he kills his competitors.
00:40:04.360
And he leaves the note that, yeah, Putin was here over the dead bodies.
00:40:11.100
He's a killer who is now violating every decent, uh, every decent Western value by going into a country and just taking it over.
00:40:24.020
Now, that doesn't mean we have to go to war, but that, that should tell you, um, yeah, that's why I hate Vladimir Putin.
00:40:37.540
That's, that's, that's, that's why we don't rally around Putin.
00:40:41.980
You don't have to like something that is psychopathic just to, uh, be, I guess, on the other side and say, I don't want to go to war.
00:41:28.040
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:42:15.380
Uh, Russia is the third largest producer of grain.
00:42:37.640
Um, we are killing our farmers now financially.
00:42:42.700
Wheat prices are going through a, a, a nine year high.
00:42:46.560
And they say one of the traders, uh, up in, uh, Chicago.
00:42:55.420
Anyway, um, said, we don't know how high this is going to go, but it's going to cause a lot of problems.
00:43:06.380
Let's just try what we're doing for a month and then check back in and see how our wheat prices are doing.
00:43:12.340
Oh, and have you bought a gallon of gas already?
00:43:40.780
Been trying to get rid of him for a long time now.
00:43:57.540
I mean, it's harder to kill than moose and squirrel.
00:44:01.560
Thank goodness Putin doesn't know my secret to, to health.
00:44:20.020
Puffs are the first ever protein infused marshmallow.
00:44:25.400
Cause every time I talk about them, I'm like, oh man, you, I like banana and chocolate.
00:44:36.180
Uh, and just like billboard, they are low calorie and high in protein.
00:44:43.300
You're going to be amazed at what they have and how good they are and how good for you.
00:45:05.840
He is the founder and executive director of power.
00:45:10.260
Uh, and we're going to talk a little bit about the things that maybe we should be doing right
00:45:20.920
Uh, I don't know if you saw, uh, Mark Andreessen's tweet yesterday, but he said, we should be
00:45:26.660
building a thousand, uh, nuclear plants all around the world starting today.
00:45:32.920
We're not going to do it, but there's a lot of logical things that we should be doing today.
00:45:38.420
One of them is get off our dependence of Russian oil.
00:45:46.140
I mean, a lot of the problems that we're experiencing right now, um, have begun 14 months ago with
00:45:53.320
the Biden administration and I'm not pinning the Ukraine invasion on him, but I am saying
00:45:59.820
This administration has been really punishing the, the America's energy industry is present
00:46:04.980
specifically the fossil fuel industry for months and months.
00:46:08.340
And when oil hit $70 a barrel and $80 a barrel, the white house was silent.
00:46:13.580
Well, now it's at a hundred and Joe Biden saying he wants to do something.
00:46:19.600
Uh, you know, energy is one of those issues that people don't want to pay attention to
00:46:23.780
until it starts to, uh, pinch at the purse, right?
00:46:29.020
But you know, we, we need serious energy policy and not Greta Thunberg, not John Kerry, right?
00:46:35.360
We need serious energy policy because it is national security as well.
00:46:39.780
I, I just, I keep hearing him say, we're going to tap into the, uh, strategic oil reserve.
00:46:47.480
We, on one hand, people are talking about world war three and the biggest conflict possibly
00:47:03.800
And so we're, he's telling the West, we should release more from our strategic oil reserve
00:47:16.640
Oil is so important to the world economy that even this administration has not sanctioned
00:47:23.640
Germany, uh, and Italy today brought more natural gas than they did yesterday from Russia.
00:47:29.800
In fact, Putin has increased the amount of natural gas exports because he knows he has
00:47:35.940
Europe on, on the hook and, and he's using that to his leverage.
00:47:40.220
And so look, you know, we have to stop being Plato.
00:47:49.120
But the reality is our economy, our military, the world runs on fossil fuels right now.
00:47:55.620
And whether or not we want to change that as one conversation, but the reality is punishing
00:48:00.520
fossil fuels now in the hopes of a better tomorrow has made us weak now.
00:48:05.940
And Vladimir Putin is taking advantage of that weakness.
00:48:08.700
This is, uh, this is exactly what the great reset is about.
00:48:14.120
The ESG scores energy is the first, uh, is the first thing.
00:48:19.380
And we are, we're committing national suicide and it's not just national, the entire West
00:48:27.480
is committing suicide and I don't understand it.
00:48:36.520
And, and look, when this administration began and Joe Biden said, uh, which I believe is a
00:48:42.580
But when he said the generals tell him climate change is our biggest national security threat,
00:48:47.300
I'm sorry, if anyone really said that to you in the military, that person should be, should
00:48:52.980
And any politician, Republican or Democrat, this is not a partisan issue.
00:48:57.760
Many Republicans went to the Glasgow climate summit to learn how to tackle climate change.
00:49:02.720
We can have a conversation about the environment, but if you genuinely believe in your heart of
00:49:08.120
hearts, looking at the global stage, that climate change is the biggest threat, then you
00:49:21.220
And, and these rogue regimes, unfortunately, as the prices of oil have gone through the roof
00:49:27.860
And what does Iran do when they have more money?
00:49:30.200
They launch attacks on Israel and, and they launch attacks on the UAE and they fund their
00:49:36.720
And what does Russia do when they have more money?
00:49:41.240
So again, it's, it's this, I, this fight against reality that you can have a conversation
00:49:46.820
about the environment, but there are real threats and we need to put on our big boy pants
00:49:54.740
Even if you, if you believed that, um, climate change was the, was the existential threat and
00:50:01.980
the largest threat against, uh, all of humanity.
00:50:04.720
If you really, truly believed that, um, and you make the moves to stop American oil and
00:50:12.960
Does that explain why we are, um, not sanctioning the Russian oil?
00:50:24.360
We're increasing our imports of Russian oil and we seem to be making it easy for Iran to
00:50:37.200
Why wouldn't you go to America and just say, Hey, it's temporary, but we're going to, we
00:50:47.860
Do you know, for the first time in, in nearly 40 years, America has been purchasing Iranian
00:50:55.420
The administration clearly did not put out a press release, but you say, why is America
00:51:03.160
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:51:08.060
It started in April, started in April of this year.
00:51:10.980
And we've, we've purchased about a million barrels of oil from Iran.
00:51:14.760
Now there's going to be an argument and they're going to say, I'm playing fast and loose with
00:51:18.700
the nuance because we purchase a lot of oil from the world and we refine it, particularly
00:51:25.160
We have the world's largest refining capabilities.
00:51:27.740
Also something China's trying to compete with us on, but that's another conversation, but we
00:51:33.960
So this crude that comes out of the ground has to get refined.
00:51:38.020
So we buy Russian, we buy, uh, Venezuelan, but we don't need to buy any oil if we produced
00:51:46.160
And we're not, we're producing 2 million barrels fewer than we did just a few months ago before
00:51:53.340
And the reason why we're producing so much fewer oil is because this administration has
00:52:00.600
They've punished the, you mentioned the ESG movement where every agency is looking at
00:52:04.980
climate change when it comes to permitting land access, uh, um, permits in the Gulf of
00:52:10.560
Mexico on federal land, fracking moratoriums, pipeline construction.
00:52:14.280
So all of these cumulative actions have made production of oil domestically hard.
00:52:19.440
Of course we have to get it from somewhere else.
00:52:26.880
Because that's what we're doing by enriching our enemies.
00:52:29.860
Let me ask you, um, when Obama said that he was going to stop the drilling, uh, I think
00:52:36.480
it was in the Gulf, um, the deep sea drilling, uh, the concern was that if you stop that, you're
00:52:43.960
not getting a lease on those deep sea drills for another 20 years.
00:52:48.240
They're not coming back and you just don't make them overnight with the damage that has
00:52:53.840
been done just to the economy, uh, and to the oil and gas industry.
00:53:00.240
Are we doing permanent damage or are these things just going into mothballs and we can
00:53:08.660
We can turn it around, but I don't think quickly.
00:53:11.800
Uh, this is a very capital and labor intensive industry.
00:53:15.920
And even if all the permitting is, is in place and the government is a friend of the industry,
00:53:21.300
which we want, like we saw under president Trump, it really took till the end of 2018,
00:53:27.200
the beginning of 19 for the industry to produce as much as it was.
00:53:31.880
And so it did take it two solid years of, of, uh, believing that the government wasn't
00:53:39.260
Uh, you know, you look at something like Keystone, that was 10 years and, and a billion dollars
00:53:45.360
And then the rug was pulled out from under it and all that money is lost.
00:53:49.040
So who's going to invest in the oil and gas industry right now?
00:53:54.880
And that's one of my pet peeves, Glenn, and you can hear my voice getting angry.
00:53:59.780
Jen Psaki will say, well, you know, oil at $90 a barrel, you would think these rich fat
00:54:08.320
It's that they know it's a risky investment because government is going to punish you.
00:54:13.120
Deb Haaland, the interior secretary is going to punish you.
00:54:15.660
The EPA administrator, Biden is talking about fed nominees who look at banking issues through
00:54:23.380
So if you need a $50 million loan from the bank to finance this industry, no, because
00:54:30.000
the bank's not going to lend it to you because the federal reserve is going to raise your
00:54:35.940
So again, the, the, this administration is punishing the industry from every angle.
00:54:41.140
And then they have the gall to say, well, they better not raise prices, take advantage
00:54:48.920
When Elizabeth Warren blamed big meat, remember that one?
00:54:56.380
I, uh, I, I, I will tell you, I, I, I don't understand what's happening to us.
00:55:04.340
Um, unless the president and this administration and those on the left have an agenda that is
00:55:12.220
clearly not in step with the traditional American.
00:55:16.960
Um, they, I mean, this is, this is self-inflicted wounds and they're soon going to be mortal.
00:55:25.900
Um, what do you, what are you thinking, what are you thinking about, uh, the gas and oil
00:55:31.480
prices and, uh, and what's coming with this, this war in, in Ukraine?
00:55:38.760
Yeah, it's down a little bit today, which is good news, but I think overall, if this continues
00:55:44.920
and I don't think Putin is going to, uh, stop until he has everything he wants in the Ukraine
00:55:50.920
and maybe even more, you could easily see gas at $150 a barrel, like it was in 2008.
00:55:57.280
Um, you mean 125 by the end of March is, is very feasible.
00:56:02.440
And that means six and $7 gallon of gas, but you know, you know, your audience knows there
00:56:08.460
are millions, literally millions of products that are made from, from fossil fuels.
00:56:13.680
And so when the price of fertilizer goes up, when the price of pesticides go up, everything
00:56:21.040
And so when you go to the store and you buy your chopped meat and it's expensive, it's
00:56:25.640
the cow, the cow's diet, the transportation, the butcher, the slaughterhouse, the packaging,
00:56:29.680
the plastic, all of that stuff gets added onto your cost.
00:56:37.940
This administration, before Putin even launched his first incursion, this administration was
00:56:43.820
willing to let the American people suffer because they are so eager for this green revolution,
00:56:50.520
these renewables that they had to punish fossil fuels.
00:56:53.660
They wanted fossil fuels to be the bad guy so that maybe you would go to the government
00:56:58.440
and say, please, Mr. Biden, please give us a green new deal.
00:57:08.380
They were willing to punish the American people for their agenda.
00:57:11.880
And, and that's not just an American, unpatriotic, quite frankly, it's immoral and it's evil.
00:57:19.060
The founder and executive director of Power of the Future, Daniel Turner.
00:57:36.580
So American financing right now, home values are up 17% and it could be even higher in high
00:57:47.080
Now we're also seeing mortgages start to slow down because the price of houses are, is so
00:57:55.100
high, but also because it is becoming more and more expensive to buy a house just because
00:58:01.960
The interest rate on things alone are going to be real problems.
00:58:07.680
And I think a carve out on interest rates where interest rates, uh, go up without the
00:58:16.420
fed, the, the banks and the, uh, there's a carve out for people like you.
00:58:22.200
I could be wrong on this, but the government's not going to have a high interest rate.
00:58:32.080
Well, they either have to control how you spend modern monetary theory, or they have
00:58:37.000
to find a way to get that money out of your hands.
00:58:40.720
Interest rates are going up even without the fed raising them on the banks.
00:58:45.600
If you look at your credit card, how are you going to pay that off?
00:58:49.980
Please right now, consider, uh, a refi of your home, your mortgage, look at a consolidation
00:58:57.940
loan, get out of those high interest credit cards.
00:59:01.040
Now you can skip up to two mortgage payments and close in as little as 10 days.
00:59:11.060
It's 1-800-906-2440 or go to Americanfinancing.net.
00:59:19.740
I heard a general yesterday actually say, you know, when Putin said, we're going to face
00:59:39.480
if, if America interferes, we're going to face consequences we've never faced before in
00:59:47.420
And I heard a general come on television and say, I think he means a nuclear strike.
01:00:01.520
Uh, gosh, I hope nobody's listening to that general.
01:00:04.800
Um, it, I'm, I'm pretty sure what he was talking about was not a nuclear strike, but instead,
01:00:12.860
uh, an attack on our systems, an attack on our power grid, a cyber attack on our banking
01:00:23.300
I mean, there is there right now, cyber is at a place to where it is as devastating as
01:00:35.940
Uh, we may not know for a while who did this to us.
01:00:40.660
Um, Chris Stewart is going to come on, uh, with us here in, in just a minute.
01:00:44.460
He's going to talk about cyber warfare and if we are prepared for it, I've been reading
01:00:49.640
his new book and I got to tell you, we are facing things that we have to talk about.
01:00:57.640
We have to talk about cyber warfare is one of them.
01:01:03.060
Hardening our, our systems has got to be one of those things because this is the new war.
01:01:11.400
And I have to tell you, um, we usually don't learn our lesson until millions die.
01:01:19.240
There's a new technology, a new way to kill people or win a war.
01:01:28.140
We all said, okay, let's not do gas attacks anymore.
01:01:36.520
Now is it cyber and is Russia prepared to launch that?
01:01:54.380
Russia is all hooked up as much as we are to the internet.
01:02:02.920
Chris Stewart's going to talk about that, that threat.
01:02:05.340
And what are we doing to be able to, uh, survive that to make sure it doesn't happen?
01:02:13.940
Um, does he have a plan to stop the frozen tundra from melting in Northern Russia?
01:02:31.720
Brenda wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.
01:02:46.600
She says, I have a lot of knee and, and neck pain relief factor is helped so much by dialing
01:02:54.560
Now, my husband and I can take walks every day and I can sleep through the night.
01:03:00.920
Brenda, it is fantastic to hear that you're getting your life back.
01:03:04.640
Um, it is, I know what it's like to have pain and just think this is the way the rest
01:03:09.360
of my life is going to be, it doesn't have to be that way.
01:03:13.020
If it, if Relief Factor works for you, and it's usually taken by people who have tried
01:03:17.960
absolutely everything I had given up on trying anything new.
01:03:24.380
I'd been everywhere and nothing would stop this relief factor was created by doctors to
01:03:33.800
I thought to myself, this is not going to work.
01:03:41.340
I've been taking it now for about four years, 1995.

If I can get there, Dallas has been packed with an ice storm and all the planes are being
01:04:34.280
No, they're actually doing something really special.
01:04:36.220
I like this when planes do this, when airports do this.
01:04:40.440
They put you on a plane and then they close the door and then they roll away from the gate
01:04:45.440
so they can say it was an on-time departure and then you sit there for a few hours.
01:05:02.480
He is the author of The Final Fight for Freedom.
01:05:06.240
And Chris, as I have told you, I did you a great disservice by having you on without reading
01:05:18.560
I mean, there is there are things in there that just scare the hell out of me, quite honestly.
01:05:36.320
I mean, and it's nearly impossible to prepare for it.
01:05:42.680
And I do hope you get out to see, Pat, because they need you out there.
01:05:48.900
But but, you know, one of the one of the real, real concerns that we have, obviously, with
01:05:57.400
And by the way, we haven't reached a point where we're expecting global war.
01:06:03.940
But Russia has we're we're literally staring down the barrel of a loaded gun when it comes
01:06:11.440
to Russia and their ability with cyber warfare, their ability to attack our economy and our
01:06:20.140
And there's very, very little we can do to stop them.
01:06:22.700
The only reason they don't exercise that power is because they're afraid of what we do in
01:06:27.100
But, you know, it's interesting yesterday when Vladimir Putin made this comment about, well,
01:06:30.840
you know, if you push us too hard, you know, we will punish you in ways that you've never
01:06:35.780
Many people, you know, interpreted that to be, well, does he talk about nuclear weapons?
01:06:41.800
No, I don't think he's talking about that at all.
01:06:43.840
No, he's talking about his tools and the capability.
01:06:47.140
He has with cyber warfare and cyber attacks against the U.S.
01:06:50.060
He already said like four years ago that the next world war will all be fought with ones
01:07:00.960
But are we in a mutually assured destruction that if they start, we can hammer them back quickly?
01:07:11.940
I mean, we certainly have offensive weapons and we would exercise those weapons.
01:07:16.820
But there's a couple of things that make this very complicated.
01:07:18.900
For one thing, there really is plausible deniability.
01:07:22.400
And that is, you know, we can't know for certain what the source of the attacks are.
01:07:26.680
And we could assume they would come from Russia at this point.
01:07:32.220
But, you know, we don't know that for sure, including not only nation states, but there
01:07:36.520
could be some terrorist organizations and some global criminal organizations that could
01:07:42.960
initiate attack against us right now that, you know, we would think, oh, this is Russia
01:07:48.100
The second thing is the defense against these things is nearly impossible.
01:07:51.200
It's like we have to be correct 100 percent of the time when we're being attacked millions
01:08:00.220
And all they have to do is to be able to penetrate once.
01:08:03.160
And then they have the outcome they're looking for.
01:08:07.240
So, Chris, is it true that there is a multi-story building in I think it's in Beijing that the
01:08:16.760
entire purpose of this large company, if you could call it, is just to hack our systems?
01:08:30.020
There is the equivalent of entire cities that are committed to that purpose.
01:08:34.980
And they've been able to use organizations and governments outside of Beijing to do it.
01:08:41.620
I mean, many of the attacks that come to us are actually coming out of North Korea with
01:08:47.800
And some of them are obviously under the concept of being not government organizations,
01:08:57.260
Some of them associated with Western organizations, by the way.
01:09:00.760
What does it mean, a cyber attack from Russia or China?
01:09:04.980
What would that how would that manifest itself?
01:09:10.800
I mean, it depends on this on this on the scope and the scale of it.
01:09:20.480
They can go after air traffic control, for example.
01:09:23.740
As you were talking about flying this evening, our water, our pipelines, they've demonstrated
01:09:28.180
our pipelines against capabilities against colonial pipeline about a year ago.
01:09:32.560
And the only reason they did that was to kind of remind us communications, which, of course,
01:09:38.860
But the big one, Glenn, the holy grail of these is to go after our electrical grid.
01:09:44.020
And everyone recognizes that our electrical grid is not protected.
01:09:50.140
We could protect it more, but there's there's no way to protect it completely.
01:09:54.900
And when I say electrical grid, I don't mean, you know, they would take out Dallas or they
01:10:01.760
I'm telling you, they could take out the entire national grid and they could take it out not
01:10:08.040
It could be months, maybe longer before we're able to recover from that.
01:10:15.980
What are the I mean, like I understand an EMP fries all the circuits.
01:10:21.120
How do they take it out and turn us off for that long?
01:10:26.860
You know, one of the one of the great examples of the power of of a cyber attack is sex techs,
01:10:39.080
And by the way, a really interesting thing about that virus was it was promiscuous.
01:10:43.380
We had to put put it globally before we could get it into the machines we actually needed
01:10:50.480
And there's estimates that about 10 percent of the world's computers were infected by that.
01:10:54.760
But that didn't matter because it was designed to go after only specific machines.
01:10:59.640
But it spun it up and then it slowed them down and spun them up.
01:11:02.380
And these centrifuges essentially destroyed themselves.
01:11:04.920
Well, imagine a virus such as that that goes spread throughout the United States electrical
01:11:09.980
grid that's destroying pieces of equipment, computers, transmission lines, generators,
01:11:16.180
transformers all across our global a global system.
01:11:20.460
And if you kind of interpret what we did there and project that into a global electric or
01:11:25.800
a national electrical grid, you can see how they could take out big pieces of equipment
01:11:31.440
And some of that stuff's nearly impossible to get.
01:11:35.440
And even in the best of times, it's a year to an 18 month wait list for some of these generators.
01:11:41.160
We're talking to Chris Stewart, the author of The Final Fight for Freedom, How to Save Our Country
01:11:49.680
If you want to see what we're really facing because of new technology and and where we
01:11:56.280
have, you know, the stupid mistakes that we have made by not paying attention to things
01:12:01.340
in the book, you talk a little bit about CRISPR and China.
01:12:06.680
Before we get there, I don't know if you saw the news today, but every time we brief China,
01:12:12.140
we showed them all of the intel that we had on Russia and how they were positioning troops.
01:12:18.160
China then, we found out today, took that intel and delivered it right to Putin.
01:12:24.200
You know, Glenn, I use a phrase in this book, and it really comes from Abraham Lincoln.
01:12:32.720
He's the one who observed, and Ronald Reagan and others did, that they said, no nation will
01:12:39.180
The only way we see our demise is if we commit national suicide.
01:12:42.900
And I use that phrase in the book, because that's exactly what we're doing.
01:12:51.580
And what you just described is a simple, but it's a small example of us doing that.
01:13:03.460
And it's, as you and I have discussed in the past, you look at yourself, or the people
01:13:10.900
Do you not know what the outcome of this is going to be?
01:13:14.780
Is it simply that you're not bright enough to understand this?
01:13:17.980
Or do you actually want to harm, you know, a Western democracy and freedom, and specifically
01:13:24.020
And I've concluded there are people who that's actually their motive.
01:13:33.520
When this administration is upping our orders for oil from Russia, Russia is delivering more
01:13:59.900
I really, truly believe the only way to explain it is this administration does not have an
01:14:12.300
The very first day in office, he kills the Keystone Pipeline.
01:14:15.680
But more than that, as you've made so clear, Glenn, and over and over again, it's the demonization
01:14:22.320
It's the definancing of them, making it impossible for them to work in the banking system.
01:14:29.540
But in addition, he shuts down oil and gas exploration in the West.
01:14:34.960
And six months later, he has to go to OPEC and beg them to increase production.
01:14:40.660
And about the same time, we start increasing our imports from Russia.
01:14:45.220
For heaven's sakes, we are financing the invasion into the Ukraine with U.S. dollars, with the
01:14:53.960
Look at that and ask you, how does that make sense?
01:14:59.180
How does anyone in Washington, was this whole thing about, oh, we're going to hit him with
01:15:08.660
When you are, when you as a country are upping your order for Russian oil and you're not cutting
01:15:18.560
them off anywhere, how, what was this all about, Chris?
01:15:25.680
What is, well, well, I think maybe look, I wish I had the answer to that.
01:15:32.160
If you want to hurt Vladimir Putin, then drive down the cost of oil.
01:15:38.780
If you want to help Vladimir Putin, then drive up the cost of oil.
01:15:42.260
And then look what we've done over the last year.
01:15:46.460
And look, and by the way, look at the sanctions they've, they've imposed now.
01:15:54.020
It's the one thing that he needs to continue to finance, not only this invasion, but his
01:16:02.700
It's by, by far away, the largest thing, a source of foreign currency that they have and
01:16:10.260
Allow them to continue with financial transactions, international financial transactions.
01:16:15.080
Look, some of these sanctions are going to hurt some people in Russia, but it's not going
01:16:19.400
to do anything to actually forget about deterrence.
01:16:23.380
It's not going to do anything to significantly punish them.
01:16:28.780
Let me ask you, do we look like a laughingstock or is the rest of Europe in on this too?
01:16:36.200
And the American people are just, are, are, are the laughingstock that the, that we actually
01:16:44.400
believe that any of these guys are serious about anything.
01:16:46.980
Well, and that's, that's something I ask myself all the time.
01:16:52.580
I think I can answer that best through describing a couple of conversations.
01:16:56.120
After the debacle in Afghanistan, I talked with a friend of mine.
01:17:01.500
I'm praying for him and his family safety right now, because they're going to be targeted.
01:17:05.120
Right after Afghanistan, he called me, said, Hey, look, we don't know if we can trust you
01:17:09.100
guys anymore, had a similar conversation with leader in Jordan and a very similar conversation
01:17:21.220
And, uh, and after watching what happened here, I think it builds on another brick in
01:17:25.700
that wall of saying the United States is not a global leader.
01:17:30.140
Look what they're doing to themselves, which is what Vladimir Putin is saying, by the way,
01:17:33.660
he's pointing to the United States in all sorts of ways, culturally, economically, militarily,
01:17:52.020
And, uh, thanks for the book, uh, the author of the final fight for freedom.
01:17:57.320
It is a tremendous book full of facts that I didn't, I really didn't know and understand
01:18:05.320
it really written very well for everyone can understand it.
01:18:09.780
It's, uh, Chris Stewart, the final fight for freedom available everywhere right now.
01:18:17.980
I trust finding the right real estate agent when you're looking to buy or sell a home is
01:18:28.900
Um, but the difference when you can get somebody who really knows what they're doing, they know
01:18:35.680
the best practices, they have a website that is trafficked by a lot of people who are qualified
01:18:43.660
It's really about getting your home in front of the right people as fast as possible, and
01:18:53.260
And, you know, it's hard when you're selling a house, you know, do you have a real estate
01:18:57.640
agent that has a Rolodex, if you will, that can find the person that can fix this, can
01:19:10.380
We have searched the country for the people we think are the best in your area.
01:19:18.360
And I urge you, as always, do your own homework, but have a leg up on this.
01:19:24.380
Find the right real estate agent for you, whether you're moving across the street or across the
01:19:29.720
country, buying or selling or both realestateagentsitrust.com, realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:19:39.400
I just, I have to play this really sad, sad piece of audio.
01:20:03.580
Can we play the full piece of audio from The View yesterday?
01:20:07.420
Estimates are 50,000 Ukrainians will be dead or wounded, and that this is going to start
01:20:15.220
a humanitarian crisis, a refugee crisis in Europe.
01:20:18.780
We're talking about 5 million people that are going to be displaced.
01:20:22.940
I mean, it's heartbreaking to hear what is going to happen.
01:20:28.480
Well, I'm scared of what's going to happen in Western Europe, too.
01:20:31.620
You know, you just, you plan a trip, you want to go there, I want to go to Italy for four
01:20:35.840
I haven't been able to make it because of, of the pandemic.
01:20:39.420
And now this, you know, it's, it's like, who's going to, what's going to happen there?
01:20:49.480
First COVID where millions die, stopped her from going.
01:20:59.300
I mean, the injury, of course, being her lack of trip.
01:21:02.200
And then the insult on top of that already horrible thing is that whatever millions of
01:21:07.220
I mean, she should really, there's got to be someone for people like her that they can
01:21:15.320
She's got to be able to sue somebody or just stop the killing for a while.
01:21:56.520
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:22:20.960
I want to explain a couple of things that I think most Americans are asking.
01:22:27.880
Are our sanctions that we put on yesterday, are they really more damaging than not allowing
01:22:35.100
Russia to interact financially with any of the banks in the West?
01:22:46.020
Is that because the Fed is just pouring more money into the stock market?
01:22:50.460
Or is it that the stock market knows Biden's not doing anything that's going to hurt anybody's
01:23:02.820
Carol Roth, the author of The War on Small Business, she calls herself a recovering investment banker,
01:23:09.980
somebody that knows Wall Street, knows how this game is played and is doing everything to expose it.
01:23:21.300
As if the everyday garden variety cybercrime wasn't enough to be concerned about,
01:23:25.800
I think it's pretty likely that we may have a massive uptick in cyber hacking in the coming months.
01:23:33.860
Hopefully it is not on a national scale, but God help us.
01:23:37.760
Now, it could be directed by a certain dictator in a certain very aggressive country who just
01:23:45.360
may have perhaps invaded another country recently.
01:23:48.840
I don't know, but I know that we need to lock our life down, and that is what LifeLock does.
01:23:56.180
They can't catch everything, no one can, but they can monitor things better than you can on your own.
01:24:01.000
And if you do become a victim, they have restoration specialists that can work with you to help fix the
01:24:08.360
Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions, but LifeLock can help

01:24:43.040
Well, some of them I'm not going to be able to answer because insanity, but we'll do our
01:24:50.080
Can you at all give us a common understanding of what SWIFT is?
01:24:56.500
So, the best way I can explain SWIFT is a clearinghouse for the messages about transactions
01:25:09.080
To kind of dial it back to the U.S., if you send a wire transfer between banks in the U.S.,
01:25:16.000
If you do it internationally, there is a SWIFT code, and that entity acts as that sort of
01:25:22.320
clearinghouse between the banks to say, oh, you need to send money from one place to another.
01:25:27.260
So, basically, cutting off Russia or anybody else means that you don't get to sort of participate
01:25:39.020
Again, take it down to the baby level, but that's important.
01:25:41.720
The reason why you would wire transfer something is because if you write a check, it's going
01:25:47.380
to have to sit there and be verified for funds and everything else.
01:25:50.340
If you are doing big business, you're just moving things quickly because you need that
01:25:57.600
True, except for internationally, it often can take a day or more to clear, but it is,
01:26:05.020
again, that sort of middleman, that international clearinghouse.
01:26:08.360
It's based in Belgium for all of the international financial movement, if that makes sense.
01:26:14.120
Okay, and Europe, according to Joe Biden, didn't want to take that step yet.
01:26:21.360
Well, of course they didn't because, you know, they're getting, if it's your Germany, you're
01:26:29.240
So, they understand the precarious position they're in, and I'm sure they put a lot of
01:26:34.900
pressure on Joe Biden and saying, listen, you know, we can't afford it.
01:26:38.900
And, oh, by the way, geniuses, you don't have the exports now, now that you're no longer
01:26:43.980
energy independent to be able to help us out here.
01:26:48.360
And I imagine those were the types of discussions happening behind closed doors to have a very
01:26:56.220
So, Joe Biden says that the sanctions that he did put on are just mind-numbingly crippling
01:27:09.400
Well, he actually had somebody within his administration, one of the members of the
01:27:14.240
Economic Council, that said they weren't meant to disrupt the flow of energy and, you know,
01:27:23.480
So, they seemed kind of like everything the Biden administration has done, much more for
01:27:32.060
If you wanted to have impact, you know, not only would you have put that pressure in terms
01:27:36.480
of taking Russia out from SWIFT, maybe putting sanctions on Putin themselves, disrupting energy,
01:27:43.120
And, you know, certainly none of that transpired.
01:27:46.540
So, I mean, to hit Putin where he lives and to really destroy Russia, the best thing to
01:27:54.680
do is be a massive exporter of oil and drive the price of oil, you know, at least below
01:28:03.360
$80 a barrel, because that's where they make money, is $70, $80 a barrel, anything over
01:28:10.600
So, drive the price of oil down cripples him or cut him off.
01:28:14.640
If you don't do that, it's like, it would be like, we're going to sanction Glenn Beck.
01:28:19.960
He can make money in broadcasting, but no ballet dollars are coming his way.
01:28:26.040
Yeah, it would be like telling me, oh, I'm sorry, Carol, you can no longer eat the cauliflower.
01:28:36.720
Yeah, I mean, the reality is, if you look at the Russian economy, about 60% of their
01:28:45.720
So, certainly anything that disrupts that, whether it's disrupting getting payment for
01:28:50.740
that, driving down the price overall, or just not allowing them to be able to export it,
01:28:57.040
all of those kinds of things would be devastating.
01:28:59.680
And we have seen brave people in Russia who were marching in the streets saying, we don't
01:29:06.680
If things are getting worse there economically, those voices are only going to get louder.
01:29:11.300
So, that would put that feeling out to the world that Joe Biden was serious and that he
01:29:17.960
wanted to really take a stand and would make other countries potentially think twice about
01:29:23.220
things they might want to do, like China invading Taiwan.
01:29:29.200
So, what happened to the stock market yesterday?
01:29:32.020
I mean, you hear, you listen to the president and he is saying there's going to be real pain
01:29:39.420
They're going to, they're going to really have price increases, disruption of all kinds of
01:29:48.440
The biggest war, possibly since World War II, and he's going to try to ease the pain and
01:30:00.960
Is that because, A, the people on Wall Street know this isn't, this is business as usual,
01:30:08.800
or, B, the Fed just buying up more stocks and there's no reality anymore in the stock
01:30:25.560
I think there was an expectation that these sanctions were going to be somewhat worse and
01:30:31.480
that that may escalate conflict and or change the ability to get some of the key exports
01:30:41.540
And Russia has many of them, not only oil and gas, but aluminum, wheat and other things.
01:30:48.340
So, the fact that Joe Biden was weak, the stock market goes, oh, he's not really serious.
01:30:54.920
The Fed piece of it is that there is this expectation for a rate hike coming up in March
01:31:03.780
And the prior to yesterday, the expectation was that there was going to be an increase
01:31:12.640
And with the conflict, you know, potentially ongoing, stretching out, you know, that gives
01:31:18.300
the Fed a little bit of cover to say, well, it's, you know, uncertain.
01:31:21.260
We're not sure how that's going to play in, you know, yada, yada, yada.
01:31:24.920
And that maybe that means there's only going to be a 25 basis point or a quarter of a percent
01:31:31.620
But whatever it is, it gives the Fed a little bit more cover, whether it's in March or for
01:31:36.460
the rest of the year, to slow play, taking away their monetary support from the market,
01:31:43.740
So, I think you have a little bit of both of those yesterday.
01:31:46.840
This is, you know, I've never understood more than now the Shakespeare line all the
01:32:00.480
He's he's telling the American people this is really going to hurt you and we're going
01:32:07.120
to pay a high price at the gas at the gas station.
01:32:09.940
And don't you oil producers charge extra and gouge people at this time while he's buying
01:32:16.900
more oil this week from Russia than we bought the week before.
01:32:21.760
And we're making it easy for Iran and buying Iranian oil as well.
01:32:34.060
I mean, Joe Biden has some levers he could pull to do a 180 on the economy, certainly returning
01:32:40.660
our energy independence, firing up those oil and gas leases, returning to the Keystone
01:32:48.820
He could do a 180 on and it would be very well received.
01:32:56.420
And, you know, just from a even if you're somebody who's is climate change and, you know,
01:33:02.920
The reality is that that oil is getting produced anyway.
01:33:06.880
So would you rather have Russia or Iran be the ones that are producing it?
01:33:11.560
Or would you rather have the technological leader of the United States do it in a manner
01:33:16.280
where we know there's a focus on making it more clean and more green?
01:33:21.120
So it fundamentally doesn't make any sense other than some of the wonderful things that
01:33:27.880
you presented in your book on the Great Reset that everybody should read about if they
01:33:34.640
She is the author of The War on Small Business, a former recovering investment banker.
01:33:39.520
I asked her on today because there's a problem with wheat.
01:33:44.360
There's now because of this conflict, there's a problem with oil and gas.
01:33:56.960
And she's got some tips on what the average person should and can do about it.
01:34:13.820
I actually, I have a feather pillow that my wife keeps on the bed, you know, because we've
01:34:22.420
I don't know why we throw them on the floor at night.
01:34:34.800
I just put my head down on one of those pillows and I woke up about a half hour later and already
01:34:42.000
my neck was stiff and I felt the pillow and I'm like, this is not MyPillow.
01:34:47.940
And so I grabbed that and slept all the way through until the alarm clock went off.
01:34:54.240
They've got great things to help you get the best night's sleep ever.

So, Carol, is all of this excuse of Ukraine, are we just being played on this with energy
01:35:50.900
Are the energy costs going to go up because of what we're doing with ESG and cutting the
01:36:02.800
Or is this Ukraine thing actually playing a role?
01:36:08.240
So, I mean, this has been going on, as we've seen for well over a year, a better part of
01:36:16.720
And the Ukrainian conflict is just several days old.
01:36:20.240
So, despite the media's attempt to say, oh, this is the reason for it, obviously us bowing
01:36:26.680
out of production from some of the decisions the Biden administration made, the canceling
01:36:33.240
of oil and gas leases, the canceling of the Keystone Pipeline, whatnot, and also the ESG
01:36:39.460
pressure that made it so that many of the companies that were involved in oil exploration and whatnot
01:36:48.780
and refinements not want to do as much of it over the last couple of years.
01:36:55.260
So, there has been a lot of pressure outside, both through government and through sort of
01:37:01.360
this, you know, global ESG fascination that has depressed the U.S.'s position, and obviously
01:37:09.080
that's put some crooks in the road here, as well as, you know, the OPEC oil cartel.
01:37:17.740
Obviously, they wanted to make up for some of the lost money that happened over the pandemic.
01:37:24.580
So, you know, they did not ramp up productions to the level to meet demand.
01:37:29.020
So, all of these things factor in, as well as disruption in the supply chain.
01:37:34.140
You know, it's harder and more expensive to get the refined gasoline to the station.
01:37:38.980
I mean, just so many things that all snowball together.
01:37:41.660
So, that has all created a big issue, and it's going to be an ongoing issue whether or not
01:37:48.320
this Russia-Ukraine conflict, you know, continues.
01:37:51.320
That being said, if it escalates, yes, it will have a further impact on top of what we're
01:38:00.840
You know, currently, you know, we have oil that's over $90 a barrel.
01:38:05.200
You know, it could go over $100 organically before they probably start, you know, pushing
01:38:12.340
So, if this escalates from a Russia-Ukraine perspective, you could see $140 a barrel oil.
01:38:20.540
So, it's very, very meaningful in terms of that incremental amount, but it's not like
01:38:38.960
We have any oil products, even, you know, bug killers that you put on your crops.
01:38:53.880
We are going to be facing some real problems at the supermarket in the next six to eight
01:39:05.880
Certainly, I would say we are definitely going to be facing issues.
01:39:14.500
The question is, is it a problem or is it a mega problem?
01:39:21.620
You should be prepared every day, but you should be prepared for this conflict to escalate.
01:39:26.560
Nobody's ever been sad about being overprepared.
01:39:32.200
So there are definitely steps that you can take today just to make sure that you have
01:39:40.180
So on the energy front, you know, simple things.
01:39:43.720
We don't know what's going to happen, not only with the price, but, you know, are there
01:39:47.980
potentially escalating cyber attacks that end up disrupting our own infrastructure?
01:39:54.260
You know, I don't know if you remember way back in the early days of the Joe Biden presidency,
01:39:59.220
he gave Putin a list of here are the critical things that are off limits for a cyber attack.
01:40:04.860
So basically a roadmap of everything that they should attack.
01:40:09.400
So you, as an individual, should make sure, you know, with your cars that you keep your
01:40:15.280
gas tanks full, that if you have the ability to store extra gasoline, that you have some
01:40:20.280
extras just in case not only the price goes up, but we end up in a position where there's
01:40:27.680
And as you and I have talked about, Glenn, before, for your house, have backup generators
01:40:32.460
and other sources of energy in case there's an issue.
01:40:36.660
I know that I take propane and I called yesterday.
01:40:42.560
I just got a delivery, I don't know, a few months ago, and I called them up and said,
01:41:03.800
So you're paying, A, this price, and B, if something happens, you have a full tank.
01:41:12.520
With other supply chain issues, same kinds of things, both from a price increase standpoint
01:41:18.860
and to make sure you have extras in case of disruptions, get the extra water, get something
01:41:25.000
that can distill down your water and take the yucky stuff out just in case there's
01:41:30.080
an issue, stock up on things that are not perishable in terms of food, stock up on medicine, have
01:41:36.940
an emergency supply kit, all of those things that should something, you know, kind of really
01:41:41.980
go awry here, a big escalation that you are prepared.
01:41:45.620
And then on the financial standpoint, we were talking about the stock market and being all
01:41:51.440
This is the time when people who are not sophisticated investors tend to panic.
01:41:57.500
And I want to give a quote from Warren Buffett, whose politics I don't particularly like, but boy,
01:42:05.240
And his famous quote was always that investors should be fearful when others are greedy and
01:42:12.880
So when you have those days where the stock market is going down and companies that you
01:42:18.980
like or the overall stock market, you know, is in that bad position, that's the time when
01:42:24.940
you slowly start putting money to work and building up your positions or what we call dollar
01:42:41.980
Carol Roth, kind of our our show's financial advice giver, if you will.
01:42:48.800
She watches all of this for us and helping the average person know what to do in these
01:42:56.040
Carol Roth, The War on Small Business is the book.
01:42:59.780
Let me tell you about gold and silver and gold is up.
01:43:06.560
It's always up when when money goes down, when when the value of your dollar is going
01:43:19.700
And maybe you think it's too expensive for you.
01:43:23.000
They have an accumulation program with for this little is two hundred dollars a month.
01:43:28.700
You can get started acquiring precious metals with gold line.
01:43:38.220
And I asked them to I said, is there anything we can do for all the people who say I just
01:43:46.540
So for as little as two hundred dollars a month, get started in investing some of your
01:43:57.260

01:44:35.840
We are reaching out now to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
01:44:41.920
There's a couple of things that I mean, this office is very, very busy in Texas.
01:44:47.660
I think he had 22 lawsuits more than anybody else against the Obama administration.
01:44:55.720
Ken, how many how many lawsuits have you filed in the last year against the Biden administration?
01:45:05.640
So it took you a while to get up to 22 with the Obama administration.
01:45:22.700
Uh, so you've added, um, uh, well, I don't know if these are actual, uh, federal lawsuits.
01:45:29.660
The mask mandate lawsuit on public transportation.
01:45:32.800
Does that include the FAA and, and air traffic?
01:45:40.560
So we are suing them over the mask mandate on airplanes and transportation hubs.
01:45:46.480
And I think they don't have the authority to do it under, under federal law.
01:45:50.140
They haven't been given that authority by Congress.
01:45:53.800
So, um, not only do they not have the authority, it, it makes no sense.
01:45:57.840
I mean, it's worse than saying you have to wear a mask when you walk into a restaurant, but once you sit down, the, you know, the Omicron doesn't, doesn't operate at that low level.
01:46:08.420
Um, airplanes are, the air is filtered over and over and over again.
01:46:14.900
It's clean air compared to what you would breathe any place else.
01:46:18.740
Well, they certainly haven't documented why it's, it's essential to have masks on airlines, especially when masks don't work.
01:46:26.020
There's no documentation on whether they work or not.
01:46:28.360
And then of course, if you've been on a flight recently, you'll hear them say something about some type of a criminal penalty.
01:46:34.260
If you don't abide, well, they made that up to, there is no criminal penalty in law.
01:46:38.320
And so they certainly can't enforce something like that through the CDC, which is how they've tried to push this, the center for disease control.
01:46:46.900
So they're lying to us when they say there's a criminal penalty?
01:46:49.920
Well, there is one as it's created by the CDC, but the CDC doesn't have the authority to create criminal penalties unless Congress told them they could do it.
01:47:06.240
Um, one of the other things that you're, you're doing is, um, categorizing sex change procedures, child abuse, and you're getting a lot of heat for that.
01:47:22.640
My job is to, when I'm asked by a committee chairman of the legislature or by a, by, by the governor or lieutenant governor, what is the state of the law on this issue?
01:47:31.420
Well, I was asked, what is the state of the law on this issue?
01:47:33.840
And I, we, we, we spent a lot of time researching it.
01:47:36.640
We heard from all sides and we determined that yes, indeed, it is child abuse to, uh, sterilize your child, whether it's chemically or it's, uh, physically before they should, that's something they should make a decision about when they're of the age majority before that it's child abuse.
01:47:53.280
Especially since doctors now are restrained from even discussing other options or, or saying, Hey, maybe we should have, you know, a psychiatrist talk to you first.
01:48:05.240
There, there's there, there, the, the, the, the science on this has gone to the crazy zone.
01:48:14.920
And, and the reality is the studies I've seen, we cite them, I think in the, in the opinion, talk about how down the road, many of these kids really regret that they're, they're, they were changed.
01:48:26.840
And remember, this is, it's not like their sex was actually changed.
01:48:34.160
They do modifications that give appearances that they've changed sex.
01:48:41.480
The modification has just changed their physical, the way they are physically.
01:48:46.240
Um, what were your thoughts on, um, what happened up in Canada with the truckers?
01:48:51.440
So I, you know, I have a lot of respect for those guys and, and certainly we're in the process right now of investigating GoFundMe for what they did.
01:48:59.320
That it sounded very, I mean, it's like stealing people's money when they committed it to a cause they believe in.
01:49:06.880
They certainly have courage and we're going to, we're going to find out what happened to GoFundMe and whether they, they have violated state law, which on the face of it certainly looks like if you take somebody's money and then you, you try to switch it out to give it something else.
01:49:20.460
That does look like consumer fraud on its face.
01:49:23.480
I'm, I'm concerned about how the central bank up there, the finance minister or their treasury secretary, um, could just take people's, uh, funds away, shut down their access to banking services and insurance.
01:49:41.280
Is there anything that we can do as states to make sure that can't happen?
01:49:46.340
Um, you know, I think the thing we could do is encourage our, our federal legislators and we can, look, we can pass laws in states to try to protect people.
01:49:55.020
Um, it would be hard to, to make that translate to Canada, but as an example, we just sued the Biden administration, the APF over trying to regulate and tax suppressors.
01:50:06.060
And we have a law in Texas that was passed in, in the last legislative session that said, basically we control regulation of suppressors that are manufactured in Texas.
01:50:14.620
And we're suing the federal government because our, one of our arguments is under the second amendment, you can't, you can't tax something that's constitutionally allowed.
01:50:22.700
You can't make people pay money to exercise their second amendment.
01:50:26.940
I know that, uh, Texas has, um, passed a law on the E in ESG.
01:50:38.100
What about, uh, losing our, um, you know, ability to, to bank or to get loans based on some sort of social score?
01:50:50.520
You know, I, I actually have a pretty keen interest in this because when I became attorney general within the first couple of months, I started losing my ability to transact through big banks.
01:51:03.380
I've had, uh, I've had, uh, my 401k at work shut down.
01:51:07.800
That's Charles Schwab kicked me out of all my funds.
01:51:16.340
It was, I was a reputational risk and I was told that I was put on a list by the Obama administration when I became attorney general of Texas.
01:51:26.840
I can't do transactions with it like a Merrill Lynch or any kind of big bank.
01:51:31.800
I'm on a list and I can't even pursue having credit or having an account.
01:51:37.480
So I had to get out of all my Charles Schwab funds, which I'd been with them for 22 years.
01:51:44.640
So what are we doing to make sure this doesn't happen?
01:51:52.560
And, and, uh, Ken, there, there are, um, treasurers and, uh, and, uh, lawmakers all across the country that Texas should be leading this.
01:52:04.640
Um, but there we've got 20 different States working on this to stop it.
01:52:11.440
Well, I'd love to see the Texas legislature address it.
01:52:15.300
I, from my office, I don't make law, but they, they can make law and they could, they could exercise some type of penalty or, or oversight of any type of, uh, business that, that punishes people for their political views and, and puts people on a list where they can't basically operate in, in the financial world or in other places.
01:52:36.400
If they get cut off, I think there should be some type of legislation passed in Texas.
01:52:40.080
And you, you don't even have the, I mean, you can't even face your accuser.
01:52:47.420
I, I even went to talk to, uh, Mick Mulvaney was chief of staff at the White House.
01:52:53.560
I know I'm on this list because I've been told I'm on this list by some of the bankers who didn't want to do it.
01:52:58.600
Told me I was on that list, but I said, how do I get off?
01:53:01.580
And he, even he couldn't figure out where, where it was.
01:53:04.080
I thought because he was that agency before that does all that kind of crazy stuff that, uh, the CFPB, I thought he might be able to figure it out.
01:53:12.140
No one's been able to tell me how I got on the list.
01:53:14.580
I just know what happened during the Obama administration.
01:53:24.480
And there's going to be, there's going to be more and more.
01:53:27.740
I mean, with what Justin Trudeau did, if you don't think that our government, uh, learned a lesson and maybe even taught them what to do, uh, you're mistaken.
01:53:37.000
More and more people are going to be in this situation.
01:53:46.920
Uh, it's, uh, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
01:53:50.260
By the way, he is, uh, running against George P. Bush.
01:53:55.620
Can we please, for the love of everything good and sacred, not put another Bush in office, please?
01:54:11.600
Oh, well, which, which George Bush were you talking about?
01:54:22.400
Can we, I mean, we have almost the entire alphabet.
01:54:35.080
Our sponsor this half hour, a line has been drawn in the sand for quite a while now.
01:54:40.840
And that line isn't between Democrat and Republican or conservative and liberal.
01:54:45.040
It's between people who believe in America and leftism.
01:54:53.600
One of the best ways to fight against leftism is for you and I to join together wherever we can to support businesses that hold the same values and fight for those values just like we do.
01:55:06.380
And if they can save you money in the process, it has to be as least as good.
01:55:12.020
But if it can give you better service and save you money, it's a no-brainer.
01:55:18.060
We've been talking about Patriot Mobile for quite a while now, and I believe in them because they are exactly that kind of company that I've been looking for and I think you're looking for.
01:55:30.840
Their 100% U.S.-based customer support team is awesome.
01:55:34.860
More importantly, Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, sanctity of life, veterans, first responders.
01:55:48.960

01:56:37.200
Is it irrational that my doneness of the Bush family, is it irrational at this point?
01:56:48.280
It is a bit unfair in some ways that you immediately just assume anyone with the last name is bad.
01:56:56.800
However, he's getting the benefit of a lot of people saying anyone with that last name is good, right?
01:57:03.040
In Texas, the reason why he's in second place is not because he's more qualified than some of the other candidates.
01:57:16.160
I mean, I just think that's, I think we should stop with the, stop with the Bushes.
01:57:25.200
I think also, too, there is a very rational argument to be made that despite how incredibly wonderful and qualified a person may be, we don't just continually put people from the same family into power over and over again.
01:57:44.000
Like, there's usually people in other families that can do the job.
01:57:50.780
You know, and it just, it irritates me that it's always George, give it any letter of the alphabet, Bush.
01:58:00.320
I mean, I'd rather have James T. Kirk than George P. Bush.
01:58:08.280
He would be a good leader, but I would actually take a mental patient that thought he was James T. Kirk.
01:58:13.960
And every time he walked into the courtroom, he said, put your phasers on stun.
01:58:26.860
I was thinking back to her great career as our secretary of state for a moment.
01:58:32.240
And that incredible moment where she presented in the, well, the wrong word, but a reset button.
01:58:41.520
Now, this is right after they had attacked out of nowhere for no reason the country of Georgia.
01:58:51.120
Who, by the way, is now in prison, a political prison and in the middle of a hunger strike.
01:58:56.420
It would be great to hear what he has to say about all this, but he can't talk because he's currently in prison.
01:59:01.360
Um, but, uh, then they did the same thing after the reset button with Crimea and, uh, now they're doing this.
01:59:09.740
It's almost as if they don't care what we tell them or say to them.
01:59:14.000
You know, it's weird, um, that, uh, you know, this, these, these great globalists that, that just really know Russia, you know, between Joe Biden and, and the Clintons, they know Russia and Putin.
01:59:29.360
And, uh, now we're in a, now we're in a cold war where the two presidents aren't even talking.
01:59:38.140
And, and again, we just spent many minutes talking about, uh, the issues with the, uh, Bush family and presidency.
01:59:45.120
And there were many, uh, however, in 2008, they took steps that stopped Putin from advancing on Georgia.
02:00:01.420
