The Glenn Beck Program - Will Biden Gaffe Us into WWIII？｜ Guests： Rep. Chris Stewart & Carol Roth

00:00:00.000 Welcome to Monday. I'm going to be a great program for you today. We want to remind you about

00:00:05.560 American Financing, our sponsor, who has been with us for about 20 years, and they are fearless and

00:00:13.820 been great. They are also a place that I would go if you are looking for a new mortgage or a refi.

00:00:22.680 We need to really stand by the people who are standing by us. So if you're looking

00:00:28.320 for any of the services that they have, please consider them. Call American Financing at 800-906-2440.

00:00:37.240 If you're looking for a new mortgage, a mortgage refi, lock in your interest rates because did you

00:00:43.340 hear what the Fed announced? That it looks like they're going to do four. The next four will be

00:00:50.160 50 basis points. The next four raises in the interest rate. Four next raises. That means

00:00:56.220 2% extra. 2%. Now's the time to get this done. Holy cow. Get it off your plate. American Financing

00:01:04.260 800-906-2440. 800-906-2440. It is AmericanFinancing.net. All right. Big program for you. Coming up next. Stand

00:01:15.860 by.

00:01:45.860 What you are about to hear is the

00:02:15.840 I think he doesn't have a soul. He's a butcher. He's a pure thug. He's a murderous

00:02:33.900 dictator. He cannot be allowed to remain in power. Well, that was kind of some, that was

00:02:41.880 an interesting weekend. Oh, but it doesn't stop there. That's Joe Biden on this strange

00:02:47.740 speech that everyone now is comparing to Kennedy and Reagan. And that would be true if Kennedy

00:02:54.840 or Reagan didn't sound like they were drunk. And that would tell you another thing that democracy

00:03:00.700 is going to be free. And that is why he cannot remain in power. Okay. We take apart the president's

00:03:11.700 weekend as he seems to be taking us apart in 60 seconds.

00:03:16.920 So Jane wrote in, she said about nine years ago, I broke two vertebrae. Oh, I have four bones fused in

00:03:26.920 my back. I have a two acre lawn. And every time I mow it, Jane, where are your kids? That's why you

00:03:34.660 have children. Every time I mow it, I'd be in pain for at least a couple of days. I started taking

00:03:41.180 relief factor. I have, I got results almost immediately. Now I can mow with no pain. I've

00:03:47.860 been taking relief factor for several months now, and I love it. Thank you so much. Thank you, Jane,

00:03:52.720 for writing in. If you're dealing with pain, please just give relief factor a try. Not a drug

00:03:57.980 developed by doctors for key ingredients that work with your body. It's $19.95 for the quick start

00:04:04.060 trial pack. It is something you take for three weeks. You'll know within three weeks, if it's,

00:04:09.780 if it's making any difference at all. And if it's not, stop taking it. But 70% of the people who try

00:04:15.820 the quick start relief pack, they go on to order more month after month, just like Jane. Relieffactor.com

00:04:23.320 800, the number four relief, 800, the number four relief, relieffactor.com. Okay, so let's start with

00:04:32.020 this wonderful, wonderful speech that the president gave yesterday. First of all, or a day before he was

00:04:41.020 in, he was in Poland, and it was remarkable. You could compare it to, and it has been Pope John Paul

00:04:49.980 and his speeches to Poland and, and JFK and Ronald Reagan. And I think it's true. I mean, he really,

00:05:01.060 he really went right where everybody who is involved in this, right where they live. Cut five, please.

00:05:12.060 As a matter of economic security and national security for the survivability of the planet,

00:05:16.940 we all need to move as quickly as possible to clean, renewable energy. And we'll work together

00:05:22.040 to help get that done. That's great. That's great. Oh, yeah, that's right. He also was talking about

00:05:28.900 Ukraine and NATO and what was happening with Ukraine. And I think what's great is what he

00:05:35.680 ended it with. Now, listen, how awkward this is. Usually you leave on a happy note.

00:05:42.300 President Biden decided not to. Here it is. Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia,

00:05:50.080 for free people refused to live in a world of hopelessness and darkness. We will have a

00:05:56.460 different future, a brighter future rooted in democracy and principle, hope and light of decency

00:06:01.740 and dignity and freedom and possibilities. For God's sake, this man cannot remain power.

00:06:08.580 Okay. All right. So that was weird. Apparently not in the speech. I don't know if you can trust that

00:06:17.840 or not. But let me refresh your memory on the Gorbachev Reagan speech. While he was in Berlin,

00:06:26.260 Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall that went back and forth with the State Department. He said,

00:06:31.200 I'm saying it. No, you're not. Yes, I am. No, I'm not. Wait a minute. It's like that Bugs Bunny

00:06:36.300 routine. He it was taken out of the speech three times. It was not in the teleprompter and he knew

00:06:42.740 right where he where he wanted to say it. And he wrote it. It was him. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this

00:06:50.300 wall. Now, that was not a Mr. Gorbachev. Somebody needs to overthrow you quite different. But the State

00:06:59.900 Department was against that because it would cause all kinds of problems, they thought. And it did.

00:07:04.440 It did. Unfortunately, for the Soviet Union, not for the rest of the free world, it freed the world.

00:07:11.180 Now, I mean, this was it seems like an ad lib because you wouldn't have put that at the end of

00:07:20.060 the speech. But Mr. Mental Agility couldn't find a place to put that into the speech. So just at the

00:07:29.280 end, he's like the whole time. Now, think about this. If it was an ad lib the whole time, he's

00:07:35.140 thinking this guy can't be in power. This guy can't be in power and he can't find a place to put it in

00:07:41.500 the speech. So he just adds it to the end. Now, is it possible that that's what he really thinks?

00:07:49.660 Well, let's remember, Joe Biden is known for leading his staff. He's known for whatever the

00:07:57.740 policy is they're working on. Do you remember the homosexual marriage thing? We know that the

00:08:03.860 White House was working on a draft to announce, you know, they were for gay marriage, yada, yada.

00:08:11.100 And Joe Biden just came out on some weekend and went, I'm always for gay marriage. That's where

00:08:18.300 we need to be. And the White House was a little pissed. Remember that? Oh, yeah. Okay. So he's

00:08:24.840 done that kind of thing several times where he leads the staff. He leads. He just blurts it out.

00:08:32.520 I mean, this conflict was began around that whole situation where he said a minor incursion

00:08:41.020 might not be that big of a deal. Right. This is the same type of moment. Right. So if he's

00:08:46.960 thinking this and this is an ad lib, what does that mean? Now, let me give you some let me give

00:08:54.740 you some additional stuff. There's a possibility he's just completely senile. And that's a discussion

00:09:02.200 we should have, because if he's that out of control, he should not be the president of the

00:09:08.220 United States. I honestly don't think that's it. I think he has a different point of view. And let me

00:09:16.020 make let me make the case here. First of all, this strengthens Putin. Horrible, horrible idea. Horrible

00:09:23.540 idea. But also in his framing, he is also framing this as democracy versus autocracy. This is a theme

00:09:35.380 of his of his first year, his nightmare year. This is one of the first things that stood out to me

00:09:44.260 in his first speech from the well of the Senate when he told all of the people sitting there in

00:09:51.360 in the Capitol, that you were the people that made the world a better place, that they were the people

00:09:58.960 that got us through this pandemic, not the American people, the people in power. And then he twice,

00:10:05.620 maybe three times, questioned democracy versus autocracy. So he's going for a bigger thing. He's not

00:10:14.360 going for the Putin getting out of Ukraine. He's going for something much, much bigger. Case in point,

00:10:24.760 did you see the weird tweet that came out from his office? He's not on Twitter. I don't even think he

00:10:31.360 knows how to work the phone. He's like, the phone doesn't have that little grinder there on the side.

00:10:36.960 Well, my guess. Oh, give me give me eight one thousand. What? So I don't think he knows how to work any

00:10:48.300 kind of any kind of phone sitting on the pot, you know, tweeting. Listen to this. We are engaged in a new

00:10:56.340 great battle for freedom. A battle between democracy and autocracy, between liberty and repression.

00:11:05.120 This battle will not be won in days or months either. We need to steel ourselves for the long fight

00:11:13.960 ahead. Wow. Wow. What? Hmm. What does he see coming now? Blinken came out this weekend and said,

00:11:29.880 that's not what he means. I suggest it is because what was the other problem? Uh, what was the other

00:11:38.940 thing that he said this weekend while he was over there? He made several things, uh, that they had

00:11:46.680 to walk back, but they were all in exactly the same direction. Let's play, uh, cut 13.

00:11:55.480 Now, but the Ukrainian people, Ukrainian people have a lot of backbone. They have a lot of guts and I'm

00:12:04.840 sure you're observing it. And I don't mean just the military, which is, we've been trained in since

00:12:10.220 back when they, uh, Russia moved into, uh, in, in the Southeast, Southeast, um, Ukraine,

00:12:18.420 Ukraine, but also the average citizen. Look at how they're stepping up. Look at how they're stepping

00:12:24.440 up. And you're going to see when you're there and some of you have been there, you're going to see,

00:12:29.940 you're going to see women, young people standing, standing in the middle of the front of a damn tank

00:12:34.920 just saying, I'm not leaving. I'm holding my ground. They're incredible. All right. Okay.

00:12:42.020 They take a lot of inspiration from us. And you know, woman who just died, the secretary of state

00:12:47.740 used to have an expression. She said, we are the essential nation. It sounds like a bit of a

00:12:52.620 hyperbole, but the truth of the matter is you are the organizing principle around which the rest of

00:12:57.460 the world is the free world is moving. Okay. Stop. There's a couple of, there's three things here.

00:13:02.340 First of all, let me take down the obvious kind of essential one going to his mind state. Um,

00:13:08.760 that woman that just died, that would be Madeline Albright, but he couldn't recall her name.

00:13:17.200 That woman who just died. Okay. So that makes a case. He doesn't know what the hell he's even

00:13:24.140 talking about, which is a conversation we should have, but let's, let's look at this as maybe he does

00:13:33.600 know what he's talking about. He just has no filter on it. When he suggested that the troops that were

00:13:40.380 stationed in Poland, that they would witness the bravery of the American people. When you're there,

00:13:46.740 he immediately followed it with, and a lot of you have already been there, but that doesn't make

00:13:53.720 sense. Now I dismiss this as an old man gaffe when I first heard this, but this was one of the first

00:14:00.980 big gaffes they had to walk back. So I dismissed this as just, ah, well, it's just an old man gaffe.

00:14:08.080 Well, doesn't that fit with, he has to be removed. And doesn't the, the world, uh, looks to you,

00:14:16.440 the soldier, you are the organizing principle that the world is being built around those fit.

00:14:26.820 Right. So I'd like to give the president the benefit of the doubt, but if I'm on the opposing

00:14:34.680 side, if I'm advising Putin, because this is what they have to do, what is this president even saying?

00:14:44.200 Is he, is he incompetent or is he revealing what they, what their real intention is? I would say

00:14:53.080 if I were advising Russia, I don't, I don't know, Mr. President, but I think that there is a pattern

00:15:01.860 here. Just look at what his Twitter feed said. Again, it doesn't mean that he's not senile, but my case

00:15:14.780 is he's revealing, he's revealing the things that are coming. And how do we know? Well, those were all

00:15:26.740 crazy off the cuff clips, but they're all consistent for a bigger, longer war. All right. Maybe he's just

00:15:36.420 thinking that himself, but nobody else is. Then why would the white house tweet? We are engaged in a

00:15:43.440 new great battle for freedom, a battle between democracy and autocracy, between liberty and

00:15:49.020 repression. This battle will not be won in days or months either. Either. We need to steal ourselves

00:15:55.940 for the long fight ahead. That's coming approved from the white house yesterday, America. We better

00:16:11.140 decide a couple of things. First of all, is our president competent? If he's making these kinds of

00:16:18.480 mistakes and they truly are mistakes because he just is not a gaffe machine, this is a very dangerous

00:16:27.740 situation. If he's not competent, he should not be the president of the United States. And I know what

00:16:36.700 that means. That means a world run by Kamala Harris. God help us all. But at least she would not make

00:16:46.640 any sense and wouldn't be doing this stuff. Or are we being prepped for a war? It seems to me

00:16:58.600 when Putin is talking about his first phase is done and everybody's looking for negotiations

00:17:10.080 and Putin seems to be looking for a way out of this. This is exactly the wrong kind of language to

00:17:18.520 use. Where is the white house saying it looks like Putin may be done with the first phase as they said

00:17:26.940 and it looks good. Maybe we have, maybe we have a bright future with a very quick war that has come to an

00:17:37.360 end. Where's that encouragement? Instead, we need to steal ourselves for the long fight ahead. I think this

00:17:46.100 administration wants war. I think they want a fight. They just don't want to release it yet.

00:17:56.660 But that's what they're talking about in the White House and he's just blowing the cover.

00:18:01.820 That's my theory. But it's either that or the guy is totally incompetent and saying things that are

00:18:14.320 very dangerous, that are not connected to any reality in the White House. And that should stop

00:18:22.520 my Patriot supply. Nobody's laughing at the preppers anymore. People are beginning to catch on to what you

00:18:30.560 and I have known for a long time, which is if you thought you'd never need long to long term food

00:18:36.620 storage. Think again. Our world is now in the middle of a major crisis that will impact everything

00:18:42.620 from food to gasoline to even the cans that your food is canned in. Aluminum is experiencing a big

00:18:51.720 shortage. Energy prices. If you're not prepared, you and your family could be facing a lot of pain

00:18:57.700 and difficulty, especially if grocery stores begin to have shortages. If you haven't already made the

00:19:05.320 important decision, today is the day I want you to go to preparewithglenn.com. You're going to save

00:19:49.400 station ID. Steve Bergeer is with us, otherwise known as Stu, executive producer of the radio

00:20:04.300 program. You see it a different way, Stu? Perhaps. I think I have a slot right in between

00:20:12.600 kind of what you've been talking about. I don't think it's a straight out senior moment

00:20:18.980 where he's just blurting out odd takes on the war. I mean, obviously, we all want Vladimir Putin

00:20:30.280 gone for a hundred different reasons. You don't say that when you're the president of the United

00:20:37.020 States in a major speech in a foreign country that is on the border of the country that's at war

00:20:42.580 currently, that we're supposedly trying to avoid war. So I think there's a, what I, he, it's similar

00:20:50.280 to what you said about the gay marriage thing, right? They, of course, want this to happen in

00:20:57.020 theory, right? Like we want Vladimir Putin to be out, stop causing trouble. Him blurting it out like

00:21:03.180 that is a, I think, an artifact of his senior moment status. Like this is a major problem when

00:21:16.000 you cannot trust your president to be able to hold together the most basic information and understand

00:21:23.980 what should be said and what should be. So are you saying that nobody in the White House wants that

00:21:30.600 other than theoretically, you know, we all want that. We all want that, right? But you don't say

00:21:35.820 it as president and you risk war. So how does that do strengthen Putin at home? I mean, if this is

00:21:41.400 going to happen, Glenn, how is it going to happen? Putin loses or has massive, massive problems at home

00:21:47.840 and there are people inside Russia that do rise up. Well, that's less likely to happen today than it

00:21:53.520 did well as yesterday because of what, what Biden said. So does he, when he says to the troops,

00:21:59.900 you'll see when you're there. I was willing to write that off as a senior moment, but now I'm not

00:22:05.240 so sure because that fits with what he said in his speech. Is that just another unrelated? What,

00:22:13.200 why would he say that? Well, you could argue and I think they, they're trying, they're trying to,

00:22:18.380 trying to argue. They have no argument on, on the Putin comment. Their comment is like, well,

00:22:24.040 what he meant was empowered or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. It's so stupid. But with this one,

00:22:29.560 you could say they're going to be in the region, right? I mean, like a lot of the troops are going

00:22:33.540 to that region. They're staying in Poland, supposedly. That's where they're supposed to

00:22:37.560 stay and be in that region is one thing. They should not be crossing that border. We've been very

00:22:42.700 clear about that until the president screwed it up and he's done that multiple times. So I'm worried

00:22:48.040 this guy's going to gaffe us in the world war three. That is the risk here. Now, if what you're

00:22:56.420 saying is happening, it's a whole nother story. And I know it's, it's just a theory at this point,

00:23:01.680 but there's a lot of evidence to it. The Glenn Beck program. So when you thought that the pandemic

00:23:08.400 had disappeared from the news cycle, here's something new and fun reported by Reuters. On April 2nd,

00:23:14.680 T-Mobile is planning on firing anyone who is not fully vaccinated. Wow. Somewhere Anthony Fauci is

00:23:24.860 staring deeply into a portrait of Anthony Fauci and approving. I think this is absolutely incredible

00:23:33.380 and why I'm really, really happy. I'm not with T-Mobile. I'm I've partnered with Patriot Mobile.

00:23:40.620 I have it. It's America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider. In fact,

00:23:46.320 they're the only provider that I think still believes in the constitution. You know what I'm

00:23:50.880 saying? They also offer the same nationwide coverage as the major carriers. So you get the

00:23:55.900 same great service plus the peace of mind that your money is supporting free speech, life and liberty.

00:24:44.800 available as a Blaze as your Blaze TV subscription, a little perk there. But we're we're we're talking

00:24:51.140 about what happened with Joe Biden. Was this was this just a senior moment or is this actually

00:24:59.240 something that the White House is going for and he's just playing his hand horribly. And I you know,

00:25:07.880 I have to tell you, this is this is being shopped now as a long term war. Just the the the battle

00:25:19.960 against autocracy democracy. The world has to decide and we're dividing it up. The autocracies

00:25:28.820 would be Russia and China. So if this is a war against even if it's an economic war against Russia

00:25:37.040 and China, what does that mean? They could say, well, we don't mean war war. OK, well, what what what

00:25:45.500 exactly do you mean that we have to steal ourselves for this long drawn out battle

00:25:51.100 against the autocracies of the world? And for Joe Biden to be framing it that way, the White House,

00:26:00.320 the State Department to be framing it that way and then to come out and say things like he's got to go.

00:26:06.000 I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It is. It is. These are the conversations we should be

00:26:13.480 having. It's terrifying that we have to have them. That's kind of the problem. Pat Gray from Pat Gray

00:26:19.220 Unleashed just joined us. Pat, your thoughts on what the president is that it's just a senior moment

00:26:24.800 or no, you think this is. Yeah. Yeah. OK, explain. I think he's I think he slips up from time to time

00:26:32.100 and try as his handlers might to get him going down the right path. He just strays from it a lot.

00:26:41.580 Although when he was when you watch the video of him saying that he didn't look confused,

00:26:48.340 he didn't look confused and he didn't look like that was ad libbed. He looked like he was reading

00:26:52.260 the teleprompter. I thought it was on the teleprompter. I thought so, too. Trying to get a copy of the speech.

00:26:57.600 I don't know if you trust the copies of the speech now to see if it was in there or not for

00:27:02.340 because they're trying to walk it back now. So they're not going to include that. Right.

00:27:05.980 The media does seem to indicate that it was ad lib ad lib. It doesn't make sense. That doesn't mean

00:27:11.520 it's true. It doesn't make sense, though, that you would put that there. You know, it wasn't like

00:27:17.620 and we're all going to be free. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall. God bless America. I mean,

00:27:24.660 it doesn't happen that way. Yeah, it it that would have been crafted into the speech,

00:27:30.500 not just put right at the very end. Yeah. And saying it there does nothing to help us and only

00:27:40.320 helps them. Oh, yeah. Now, it's possible. I mean, do you give any credence to the idea that he just

00:27:44.540 got caught up in the crowd? The crowd's cheering him on. They love it. Obviously, when you're a country

00:27:48.720 that's bordering Ukraine and you want the help of the United States, you're kind of excited about

00:27:54.080 this. And he was was he just playing to the room? I think I really think that this was something that

00:28:01.340 he wanted to say. They didn't have it in the script anywhere. He didn't know how to put it in,

00:28:07.640 but he needed to say it. I think this is the thing that he was thinking about the whole time

00:28:12.480 going up to the speech during the speech. He's like, I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it.

00:28:19.200 It's kind of the Reagan thing, too. It is. Yeah, it is. That's how Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall

00:28:24.720 came out. Exactly right. Because his advisers didn't want him to say it. Correct. And he said it

00:28:29.140 anyway. And it worked out there. This I don't think this one would work as well.

00:28:32.880 Yeah. Well, it might get him killed, which would be kind of dicey for the rest of the world.

00:28:40.580 I mean, when you go back and you look at Reagan, who did this intentionally, people were also

00:28:45.700 criticized Trump for a lot of the things he said that were that were that could provoke

00:28:50.760 that there was always risk to that. But they were intentional, whether you agreed with the

00:28:55.340 strategy or not of Donald Trump changing the the embassy in Israel. Right. He did it intentionally.

00:29:04.300 He meant to do it. It wasn't something he blurted out. It was something he was

00:29:10.340 also things that he said he was going to do. Yeah. I mean, people elected him to do that. He said he

00:29:17.600 would do that. He did that. State Department didn't like it. Everybody recommended against

00:29:22.620 it. But he believed it was the right thing to do. He believed it. That's the question here. Is this

00:29:27.240 just a senior moment or is this the direction that the president is headed? What does he mean by

00:29:35.200 it's a fight between democracy and autocracy and it steal yourself for a long battle ahead?

00:29:44.340 What does that mean? It's funny because I brought this up to somebody this weekend and I said,

00:29:49.300 hey, did you hear what what Biden said? And I see, you know, he he said, well, you know,

00:29:53.820 we need to get Putin out of power. And I think the normal person reaction to that is, oh,

00:29:58.220 well, good. We yes, of course, we want Putin out of power. Yeah. Yes, we do. I want Putin out of

00:30:04.680 power. And I'm fine saying it. If you're the president of the United States in that speech,

00:30:09.500 you absolutely cannot do that. It's a terrible idea. I mean, it's what does that mean? Does

00:30:14.720 that mean we go in to assassinate? Does that mean that we're we are in to the point where

00:30:20.460 we won't accept him just walking away from Ukraine and going, OK, sorry, guys,

00:30:26.000 even Zelensky is basically at this point saying that I know. But I mean, is that is is that what

00:30:32.280 we're saying now is our resting point that he's out of power? That's what I mean. They seem to

00:30:38.660 have stated an official policy of regime change in Russia, which is not our official policy,

00:30:44.020 but he's blurting it out. That's a terrible, terrible thing. I mean, like, you know, Lindsey

00:30:48.960 Graham got in trouble for this a few a couple of weeks ago when he said, you know, I hope somebody

00:30:52.160 takes out Putin in Russia and like, look, every, you know, tons of talk show hosts have

00:30:57.340 said that. Yeah, but you can't say it when you're a senator and you certainly can't say

00:31:00.840 it if you're a president. Yeah, no way. Plus, Biden did the thing with the 82nd Airborne

00:31:04.960 in Poland, which saying which I dismissed as a senior moment when I first heard it. But

00:31:10.900 after the speech and then the White House tweet, I think they're connected. I think he's

00:31:16.520 just vocalizing what's coming. He's vocalizing what their talks are or at least what's in

00:31:23.680 his head on where this is heading. And he told the 82nd Airborne they'll see when they're

00:31:27.960 there that women are standing in front of tanks. Well, when are they going to be there?

00:31:31.600 Right. Are they going on vacation to Ukraine or they do have popular weekend spot to go

00:31:37.000 over there and get drunk in the middle of the war? This is the time to get to Mariupol right

00:31:41.960 now. I mean, because you can get beautiful hotel rooms, very cheap right now, just as

00:31:47.020 a Russian rocket start to fall into the apartment building. So you want to know the the backlash

00:31:53.220 now on our sanctions, the Great Reset style sanctions speaking in a meeting with cultural

00:32:00.620 leading cultural figure figures broadcast on national television. Vladimir Putin complained

00:32:06.140 of the cancellation of a number of Russian cultural events in recent weeks and compared it to the

00:32:11.380 actions taken by Nazi Germany. Not so long ago, the children's writer J.K.

00:32:16.200 Rawling was also canceled because she didn't please the fans of so-called gendered freedom.

00:32:23.540 Today, they're trying to cancel a whole thousand year culture, our people. And I'm talking about

00:32:29.760 the gradual discrimination against everything linked to Russia. So he's going to this is giving

00:32:35.880 him more power. And it's giving. Can you imagine if if Russia and China were leading a boycott of us

00:32:44.380 and our leader stood up and said they're trying to erase America? Do you think we would be more

00:32:52.900 willing to fight with that leader or less likely to fight with that leader? We would be absolutely

00:33:00.460 more likely. And he's got a good point because they're doing stupid things like in Cardiff where

00:33:07.460 they they canceled Tchaikovsky. What did Tchaikovsky have to do with this? Why he died in what the early

00:33:16.000 1900s? Go for it. He didn't have much to do with this. Then they they've canceled Russian ballerinas and

00:33:22.620 they they've said that you can only be part of events if you denounce Putin before you perform

00:33:30.000 in the event. Well, are we doing mind control now, too? You have to think certain things before you can

00:33:36.760 participate in events in the West. It's it's a little much. Well, let me give you some hope.

00:33:42.440 Let me give you some hope. I mean, just want to just play a collage here of what we could

00:33:51.220 hope for. Cut one, please. It is time for us to do what we have been doing in that time is every

00:34:00.100 day. We must together work together. Right. To see where we are. Yeah. Together. We are headed where we

00:34:07.560 are going and our vision for where we should be because we have the ability to see what can be.

00:34:12.420 Yeah. Unburdened by what has been. Right. Okay. And then to make the possible

00:34:17.860 actually happen. To see what is possible. Uh-huh. To see what can be. Right. Unburdened by what has

00:34:25.980 been. Uh-huh. To reject the notion that the way things have always been has to be the way things

00:34:32.740 will continue to be. I have a motto. I drink, I eat and drink no for breakfast. I eat no for breakfast.

00:34:40.420 I eat no for breakfast. There is no vaccine for racism. How does it taste? I wonder. Wait,

00:34:48.120 there's no vaccine for racism? To who we are as a species. Talking about the significance of the

00:34:52.580 passage of time. Got it. Right. The significance of the passage of time. Of time. So when you think

00:34:58.400 about it, there is great significance in the passage of time. Because the reality is that the life of a

00:35:04.680 black person in America has never been treated as fully human. We have supposed leaders who are

00:35:09.520 pushing science fiction instead of science fact. This virus, it has no eyes. That is true. And yet,

00:35:16.440 it knows. Wait, what? Exactly how we see each other. And violence has no eye. And how we treat

00:35:22.940 each other. Oh, virus. You guys are going to see. Oh, it's his second letter in the word.

00:35:29.060 With your own eyes. Oh, my goodness. With your own eyes. I'm telling you, it is going to be

00:35:35.520 unbelievable. A friend indeed. Powerful. A friend indeed. Oh, my gosh. She is. And we have that to

00:35:43.180 look forward to. So if you're thinking, hey, maybe the 25th amendment, maybe we should at least look

00:35:50.040 into it. Just remember, that's what you got going for you. Thanks, Pat. From Pat Gray Unleashed,

00:37:43.120 So, I probably say I did not watch the Oscars last night. Didn't even know that it was on

00:38:03.260 until this morning when I was reading the show prep. Did you see what happened with Chris Rock

00:38:10.560 and Will Smith? Yes. I did not watch it either and also did not know it was on.

00:38:16.120 Yeah. Good for you. Good for you. That's amazing. That's most of America. It used to be a very big

00:38:21.400 deal. Now it's like, I don't know if anybody's going to watch it. And so, do we have the clip?

00:38:28.100 Can we play the clip real quick? It's from the Oscars. I don't think they allow the clips from the

00:38:32.700 Oscars to be played. Seriously? Yeah. That's always a huge issue. Wow. Okay. You want to get

00:38:38.840 yourself banned from every digital platform in seconds. That's a way to do it. Well, that's

00:38:43.560 just another happy way for them to just to spread the word. Anyway, so, Chris Rock was doing his,

00:38:51.480 you know, routine and he pointed out, what's his wife's name? Jane of Pinkett Smith. Yeah,

00:38:56.540 Pinkett Smith. And she has... He made a GI Jane 2 joke. Because she has... She's bald,

00:39:03.820 basically. Yeah, she's bald. But it's alopecia that is causing... Now, did Chris Rock know that?

00:39:09.740 Do we have any evidence that he knew this? No. He's just making a joke of a, you know,

00:39:14.380 he thought it was, I guess, her hairstyle. And she has some... It's interesting. You know,

00:39:21.020 it is a different... I don't know much about alopecia, I suppose. Yeah, you lose all of your

00:39:24.560 hair. But a lot of, you know, it is an interesting thing that if it's... Bald guys, you could joke

00:39:31.800 about all day. Oh, yeah. You could joke about bald guys all day long. Yeah. Yeah. You can't

00:39:36.120 make a joke about a bald woman. All right. So here's the problem that Will Smith first laughed

00:39:42.140 at it and then looked over at his wife and she was not laughing. So he gets up, he walks

00:39:49.460 on stage and open hand slaps Chris Rock across the face. And it was serious. And it was no...

00:39:57.240 There was no warning. Like it was... No. It was a sucker slap. He came up without any indication

00:40:03.520 he was going to hit him. And then at the last second just hit him. Yeah. And Chris Rock

00:40:07.240 is just laughing. He thinks it's a bit. Yeah. Until he gets hit. And then he realized it's

00:40:11.860 not a bit. Like, oh, wow. It's not a bit. Weird, man. A weird moment. I mean, it's weird

00:40:16.520 because you... Part of me says, oh, well, you know, Will Smith being a standup guy and protecting

00:40:22.940 the honor of his wife, of his chivalrous. But he was laughing at the joke. That was

00:40:27.020 a... That was a... Oh, crap. I'm dead when I get home. I don't know about that. I think

00:40:32.240 honestly he's laughing in sort of the rhythms of comedy. Right? Like there's... He knows

00:40:37.560 he... He blows it off until he sees his wife isn't blowing it off. Yeah. But I mean, like,

00:40:41.620 you know, that happens sometimes if you're at a comedy show. Like you don't... Might not

00:40:44.700 necessarily... I mean, look, it's a funny joke. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the idea is probably

00:40:50.080 she's struggled with this in some serious way. Of course. Of course. And when he hits

00:40:53.400 him, that's the direction he's going in. Yeah. But again, like, how is Chris... Chris

00:40:59.300 Rock doesn't study your medical records? And by the way, I mean, you know, they live in

00:41:05.000 a very open marriage. So... I've heard that rumor, too. I don't know. No, it's true.

00:41:09.980 It is true. It's true. Yeah. So... If it was... Let me ask you this. If it wasn't Chris

00:41:13.640 Rock and it was the Rock up there saying that joke, you think Will Smith's going up there

00:41:17.200 to slap him? No. You think? Oh, the 130-pound comedian, tough guy's going up there to defend

00:41:23.280 his wife's honor against. I think we need to relax a little bit. You know, you just don't

00:41:28.060 go up and slap comedians. Yeah. Come on. All right. Back in a minute.

00:41:37.480 Reporting to you, of course, live from the frigid Glenn Beck Studios. Right. That's right.

00:41:42.340 It's currently almost 12. It's about 12 degrees. That's right. Fahrenheit. Yeah.

00:41:46.920 Rockies in the back just hitting the meat. Yeah. We had a cold weather system coming in

00:41:51.940 from the west here just earlier in the studio. That's one of the things I've really appreciated

00:41:56.380 about Grip6. They are a small business in Utah. They sell high quality made in the USA

00:42:00.480 belts, socks. I'm wearing their socks right now. You got them on right now.

00:42:18.460 Because I like, you know, especially in here, I will say warm socks important. And they're

00:42:23.020 not that really thick material. You can't even get them in your shoes. It's supposed to be

00:42:26.720 90 again today here, isn't it? Yeah. So I didn't want really hot socks. Right. These keep

00:42:32.040 your feet warm, but they don't overdo it. You can fit them in your shoes, which is nice

00:42:36.100 as well. They have great wallets, great belts as well. High quality stuff. And it's

00:43:21.240 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Back Program.

00:43:49.580 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Back Program. So the president announced a new tax. Yay! It's on

00:43:59.220 billionaires and millionaires. Who cares about them? Let them all eat cake. 20% minimum tax on

00:44:07.220 households worth more than $100 million. Okay. Doesn't affect you, right? Doesn't affect me.

00:44:14.520 Who cares? Well, let's remember how the tax thing began under Woodrow Wilson. It was only for people

00:44:22.900 making over, what was it, a million dollars a year. And it got down to people making, you know,

00:44:30.620 eight grand a year pretty quickly in one term. But it's not the minimum tax that bothers me.

00:44:37.080 It is this new little theory that has been circulating again with a far, far left for a long time,

00:44:45.520 which shows you how captured this administration is. It's a tax on unrealized income.

00:44:54.280 Ooh, what's unrealized income? That sounds interesting. We go there with Carol Roth in 60.

00:46:29.120 but I want to start with this 20% minimum income tax on people that make over $100 million a year.

00:46:38.360 Hi, Carol. Hi, Glenn. It's not even an income tax. It's a quote-unquote wealth tax, which is an idea

00:46:47.220 that is so bad that nine countries in Europe abandoned it. I mean, imagine an economic policy

00:46:54.000 being so bad that Europe's like, yeah, you know what, we're out. So didn't France try this recently

00:47:01.020 and all of their wealthy people moved away? Yeah. The statistics were that between

00:47:08.260 2000 and 2012, 42,000 millionaires and up had a mass exodus from France. So it basically drove all

00:47:20.140 the people out because if you have those means, capital is mobile and you're not going to stick

00:47:25.160 around when you have other options. And that was the catalyst for them being another one of the

00:47:29.660 countries that go, you know what, maybe this isn't such a great idea. And even though there is a long

00:47:34.500 tail on it, they're still collecting a little bit of revenue because it was grandfathered. And

00:47:39.480 I think around 2014, they said, we're gone. Now, talk to me about, so nobody has tried to move that

00:47:47.860 number down. I'm concerned always when they say, it's only going to hit these people. Taxes never

00:47:52.580 do that in America. No, I mean, anything that is targeted at the billionaires is really a ruse

00:48:00.180 for them to get you to agree to it because, oh, why, why would I care for it to affect the

00:48:05.940 billionaires? But really it's going to impact you. And that is the ruse. If you think about this being

00:48:11.920 tied to individual income, usually if you are an upper tier individual, you have very sophisticated

00:48:20.000 tax work. You probably have trusts, you may have shell corporations. So I would imagine there's

00:48:25.780 probably going to be some loopholes and go, well, it's not really an individual income. It's a family

00:48:29.780 trust or, you know, some way around it. But now you've agreed to it. And they're going to go, well,

00:48:34.720 you know, we put it in on this, but we're going to move it down. We're going to move it down.

00:48:39.380 You have to remember the Biden administration wants to hire 87,000 new IRS agents. I mean,

00:48:46.860 that's not for going after the billionaires. That's for coming after you.

00:48:50.200 So they not only want to do that, they got the funding to do that in this last bill. So the really

00:48:58.120 dangerous thing that is in this wealth tax is a tax on unrealized gains. This is insanity. Absolute

00:49:10.600 insanity. Can you explain it? Yeah. So unrealized gains, I would say it's not really a thing.

00:49:16.540 We shouldn't normalize it. It's really a ruse to have unlawful seizure of personal property.

00:49:24.340 So let's say you buy a house and you bought it for a hundred thousand dollars. And then in your

00:49:29.660 neighborhood, another house sells for $200,000. They're going to say, well, you know, all the

00:49:36.180 houses in the neighborhood are, you know, they're worth about the same. So you have an unrealized gain

00:49:41.540 of a hundred thousand dollars. We're going to tax you on that. So what do you do? You have to sell

00:49:46.860 your house to pay the taxes. So take that analogy then and move it to the stock market. Most of these

00:49:53.360 individuals who are wealthy are so on papers because they own big pieces of companies, which the market

00:50:00.080 has valued at higher and higher levels. And so on paper, their ownership looks big. But if all of a

00:50:07.140 sudden they have to now sell stakes in their companies, that upends the entire market system,

00:50:13.080 it basically nationalizes or socializes companies. It affects all of us through pensions and 401k

00:50:20.380 because of supply and demand in the market. If you have these big people who are selling massive

00:50:24.980 shares of their company, it's going to drive the prices down for everybody. It's an utter total

00:50:30.880 disaster. It's unconstitutional. And it's one of those things we have to push back on. Because like you

00:50:36.360 said, if you just say, well, it's just for the Elon Musks and Jeff Bezos of the world,

00:50:41.740 you're accepting a breach in principle and then the game is over. And it won't be. I mean, this is the

00:50:48.020 way, you know, they're there. The Great Reset says by 2030. Now think of this. You have to get people

00:50:56.680 out of ownership in what are we eight years, eight years, two elections. You have to get people to own

00:51:06.120 nothing. This is a way to do it. If you have unrealized taxes and on unrealized income, meaning

00:51:15.520 your house, think about how much your house is worth today if you wanted to sell it, knowing that

00:51:23.320 tomorrow it could go down and, you know, you lose money if you didn't sell it. You just don't know

00:51:29.140 where the top and the bottom is of a market. But if you have to sell your house to be able to pay the

00:51:36.020 taxes for income that you didn't have, it was all on paper. You don't own houses. You put a lot of

00:51:44.400 people out of their house. Yeah. And it's all based on theory. Unfortunately, we already have something

00:51:50.260 that's kind of close to that in property taxes. Yes. This would just double and triple up on it.

00:51:55.760 But, you know, it's anything you own. I mean, maybe your grandparent gave you an heirloom,

00:52:00.360 a painting that's now worth a bunch of money. Like, what are you supposed to do? Oh, it's worth

00:52:05.600 a million dollars. Now I have to sell this family heirloom so I can pay taxes for what? I mean,

00:52:10.960 this is the most un-American concept that you could possibly. This is what caused Robin Hood.

00:52:16.320 I mean, this is the kind of thing that was going on in the adventures of Robin Hood. That's what the

00:52:23.240 sheriff was doing. They were doing unreasonable taxes and then giving it to the state, giving it

00:52:31.100 to the king and all of the people that were in with the king. I mean, we are starting to live in

00:52:37.140 Nottingham. Yeah. And the crazy thing that when anyone talks about it, an unrealized gain or this

00:52:43.840 theoretical gain in value, they never talk about the unrealized losses. Well, what about, you know,

00:52:50.140 if something's gone down, are you going to give it back to me? Of course not. It never looks like

00:52:54.420 that. Nobody ever wants to socialize the losses. They only want to participate in the gains. It's

00:52:59.520 a one-way street. And again, they use, this is what happened, by the way, in Venezuela. They use

00:53:04.380 this, you know, kind of populist language and say, oh, you know, these elites, they own everything.

00:53:09.460 Let us take it over. Let us take over business. And you're all going to share in it. And obviously,

00:53:13.880 they went from the fifth biggest economy in the world decades ago to the state that we all know

00:53:19.260 that they're in today. This is the way in. And it is so dangerous. I cannot even make it emphatic

00:53:26.640 enough. It is. It's truly amazing that the president is suggesting this and putting this in. And this is

00:53:35.740 something that the Democrats would have been against, you know, 10 years ago. It shows how

00:53:42.240 far left this president and this administration really has gone. And the Democrats have gone.

00:53:49.700 Absolutely. And even, you know, somebody like Janet Yellen, who's been an absolute disaster

00:53:54.680 at the Fed and now at the Treasury, you know, when this idea first circled around,

00:54:00.280 she was going out and saying how great it was and trying to populate it. And it got a lot of pushback

00:54:04.860 and it kind of died for a little while. And now, you know, holes are down. So here it is again.

00:54:09.600 Maybe we can distract everybody from, you know, all the other economic disasters and inflation and

00:54:14.320 high gas prices by saying that we're going to go after the greedy billionaires. And, you know,

00:54:19.500 hopefully, again, we will get that same kind of pushback and say this is unreasonable.

00:54:23.580 It's unconstitutional and it just cannot happen.

00:54:26.760 All right. So let me switch topics. You wrote a great article. I think this came out last week.

00:54:31.520 ESG advocates are killing the American dream. Can you just go in the middle of it? You talk about

00:54:39.400 a 60 minute piece where they're talking about or talking to the CEO of Tricon Residential.

00:54:48.160 And this is happening everywhere and nobody's really paying attention to it. And it is so dangerous.

00:54:57.000 This is so infuriating because these global elites who are pushing ESG saying, well, we're doing this

00:55:05.220 for the good of society. And that S, that social piece, you know, we want to make things, you know,

00:55:10.780 good for everybody. So these same banks and financial institutions who have bought into this idea that

00:55:17.680 they're going to make decisions that are good for society are now funding companies that are competing

00:55:23.740 with you to buy houses. We are underfund or excuse me, we are underbuilt in this country by about four

00:55:31.560 to five million houses, depending on who you ask. And so there's already a supply demand imbalance.

00:55:37.300 But now you've got these these big financial institutions that are backing these folks, you know,

00:55:42.420 like the ones that are quoted in the 60 minute piece and interviewed there, as well as others that are publicly

00:55:47.640 traded that are going in and buying 30,000, 40,000, 80,000. I saw one of them residential homes and

00:55:55.860 they're going in with all cash offers. They're often waiving inspections. Sometimes they're not even

00:56:00.880 looking at the houses. And so from a buyer's perspective, you know, here's here's we know

00:56:05.960 what's going to close. It's all cash. We don't have to go through any brain damage. And they're just

00:56:10.520 selling their houses to these corporations who are then renting it back to people who now can no longer

00:56:16.400 afford a house have been priced out of the house. And this goes back to that whole great reset playbook

00:56:21.540 of you will own nothing and we will be happy, except we know you won't be happy because owning

00:56:27.440 a home is part of that wealth creation and part of that American dream. So, Carol, when do people do

00:56:32.560 you think what is the tripwire that wakes people up, the average person? Because the average person

00:56:38.680 still, I think, is saying this kind of stuff won't happen. You know, it's it's Germany in the 1930s.

00:56:45.480 OK, yes, but it's not going to get any worse than this. And if you keep moving the line

00:56:51.580 to it can't get worse than this. Look, look how far we have come in 10 years. When where is the pain

00:57:00.940 point for the American people? That's an excellent question. I know you spend a lot of time on social

00:57:08.560 media. Glad have you ever seen the distracted boyfriend meme where you have the guy who's looking

00:57:13.400 at a girl and his girlfriend's kind of like looking at what's going on. And it's, you know, very much

00:57:17.760 everybody's looking at stuff that isn't important. And the stuff that's really important is looking

00:57:23.400 at you going, why aren't you paying attention to me? And there's just so much nonsense out there

00:57:28.340 that people are highly focused on that. I think you do such an incredible service to the average

00:57:34.440 American by bringing up these issues that nobody's talking about. You know, I usually when the

00:57:40.720 tripwire happens is after it's too late, you know, after it's affected so many people that you hit

00:57:46.480 that tipping point that you're at the point of no return. And they go, oh, gosh, I guess we should

00:57:50.940 have paid or paid attention to this earlier. And, you know, that that is the unfortunate thing.

00:57:56.580 And it's why it's so important to have these conversations and for individuals to help spread

00:58:01.420 the word. I mean, this this has to be a movement. You have to be out talking to your friends and to your

00:58:06.440 family and to your neighbors about these things, because it's really getting out of control.

00:58:12.100 Well, I can't thank you enough for your stories that you're now writing on the blaze. The latest

00:58:16.320 is ESG advocates are killing the American dream. You can find it on theblaze.com. You got a letter

00:58:23.420 in that I want to read and get your your comments on in 60 seconds.

00:58:28.840 American financing NMLS 182334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org

00:58:36.720 Carol, before I get into this commercial, did you see is this true that the Fed came out and said

00:58:42.360 the next four increases on interest rates will be 50 basis points each a rise of of 2 percent?

00:58:53.520 I certainly saw that they were entertaining it as a possibility. I don't think that it was 100 percent

00:59:01.400 set in stone, but they are more open to that, which basically says, oh, we are really behind

00:59:09.460 the curve and we need to play catch up, which, as we've talked about, has implications.

00:59:14.780 Yeah, because that is how much how much is the increase for each point just for our federal budget?

00:59:21.840 So basically, it is tied into pushes up the 10 year yield, the 10 year yield already trading up,

00:59:30.700 it was at like two and a half percent for at least a day last week. And that affects when you when the

00:59:37.360 government issues bonds, you know, how much it has to give in terms of interest. So when they do that,

00:59:42.860 when they do that financing, and so this isn't on the current financing, which is already done,

00:59:47.980 but on future financing, every one percent is 300 billion dollars in additional taxes. So it's not

00:59:55.780 something that's going to happen immediately. But again, if you go back to that CBO projection that

01:00:01.460 this was going to happen, you know, by 2032, it was going to be another 300 billion. They were

01:00:06.460 expecting the 10 year yield to be at 2.1 percent by 2025. And we're already at 2.5 percent.

01:00:12.220 Unbelievable. It would mean another 600 billion dollars that our government would have to pay

01:00:17.420 just in interest. Crippling, crippling. All right. American financing. Same thing with you as the

01:00:24.300 interest rate goes up, you have a loan. And if you have a fixed mortgage, you have to you don't have

01:00:30.700 to worry about it. If you don't, if you have an arm, then they can move that up and down with the

01:00:35.760 interest rates. Also, the same thing with your credit cards. How much are you paying for those credit

01:00:41.200 cards right now? And if they move this up two points, that's two points for the bank. That's

01:00:46.220 not two points for the credit card. Call American financing now. Call American financing at 800-906-2440

01:01:11.200 So you got an email in, if I can read it here, from an employee. He says, this is not my employer's

01:01:28.900 opinion. This is mine. My current company, WTW, has probably about 40 percent of the market in private

01:01:34.660 pension consulting, with two or three others making up another 50 percent. WTW and other

01:01:40.360 consulting firms cover essentially every employer of any size. We are all full go pushing ESG.

01:01:48.560 The new CEO at WTW has made ESG his number one priority, wanting to incorporate it into,

01:01:56.540 quote, everything we do, end quote. WTW is some sort of WEF partner. I have raised many,

01:02:05.720 many controversial subjects around ESG at local and regional office levels, with some people

01:02:10.380 privately expressing concerns. The company is located mostly deep, deep blue areas, so it's not

01:02:16.440 surprising. Most just seem to glaze over the controversies. I've also reached out to the

01:02:22.020 attorney general's office after seeing him on Glenn's program discussing this as antitrust.

01:02:28.800 From a pension 401k perspective, Biden issued an executive order on ESG, which has prompted the

01:02:35.660 Department of Labor to issue supposed or proposed regulations on clearing the way for retirement plan

01:02:42.340 fiduciaries using ESG strategies in their pension retirement assets. For 45 years, the law governing

01:02:50.180 private retirement benefits has held plan assets be invested for the sole benefit of the participants,

01:02:59.620 which one would expect. So is he saying now that that these funds can invest in things knowing that

01:03:09.880 it's not the best return? Yeah, it's very interesting. And the financial area has been the one

01:03:16.340 where having a fiduciary duty has been the most important. So whether you are a public company

01:03:23.420 director, or if you're somebody who is managing pension funds, you have what is called a fiduciary

01:03:29.460 responsibility to do things that are in the best interest of the shareholder. What your listener has

01:03:35.880 told us here is that there are these pension consulting firms that are whispering and saying, you know,

01:03:41.420 we should be pushing ESG. And you're not by law, just by executive order, Biden has opened the door

01:03:48.840 to say, yeah, it's okay for you to get around this fiduciary duty and to push ESG, which is not in your

01:03:56.840 best interest. And he actually came up with some things that you should be doing that I think are

01:04:02.020 really, really important. Okay, hang on, I've got 30 seconds. I don't want to cut you off on this.

01:04:06.500 This is really important. If you have a pension fund, this is ESG, going into your pension fund,

01:04:15.660 it may not be the right thing for you financially. But now the government has opened the way to say

01:04:23.880 don't worry about those investors. Don't worry about it. You do the right thing for the environment

01:04:29.140 and social justice. We got you covered. The Glenn Beck Program. When you're living with aches and pains,

01:04:35.180 especially if you're in frequent pain all the time, it is easy to let that define your life and

01:04:41.860 it becomes who you are, your pain. If you've tried everything that you can think of to combat that

01:04:48.000 pain, you've gone to doctors and everything else and you still don't get any relief. Trust me, I have

01:04:54.100 been there. And I've also experienced something I never thought I really had thought this is the rest of

01:05:01.400 my life. And I hated that because it completely limited me because of the pain that I was in.

01:05:08.140 Then I started the three week quick start from Relief Factor. I only did it. They'd been an advertiser

01:05:14.200 for years and asked me to endorse and I said no, because I really didn't think it would work. And then

01:05:19.260 my wife said to me in one of my bad pain months, you know what? Try it. Try it. I'm not going to listen

01:05:26.220 to your bellyache unless you try it. And three weeks later, I couldn't believe it. But I had

01:05:31.380 to admit it worked for me and it's still working every day. Relief Factor dot com. Relief Factor dot

01:05:46.380 The Great Reset Joe Biden and the Rise of 21st Century Fascism is available now in bookstores or at

01:05:51.740 glensnewbook.com. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Talking about several things, the 20 percent

01:06:08.280 wealth tax and the unrealized tax, which I have a quick question for you, Carol, and then we'll go back

01:06:15.040 to ESG. But I remember reading a story maybe 15 years ago, and it was a member of the Progressive

01:06:25.700 Black Caucus that had introduced a bill. I read about it in the Wall Street Journal. It was a little

01:06:31.660 teeny story about how you could no longer take your wealth out of the United States without like a

01:06:38.980 significant penalty. And I thought, boy, what do they know that I don't know on what's coming?

01:06:45.640 You know what I mean? Why are they protecting the the Treasury? We've never been protective of wealth.

01:06:52.620 Take it. Go be. Other people make it. Can you take your well if you were one of these billionaires?

01:06:59.440 Can you just leave the country? I certainly believe so.

01:07:03.580 I'm not a tax expert. I would imagine there are certain things that you have to do depending on

01:07:11.020 where you are domiciled. But if you move where you live and whether you give up citizenship or not,

01:07:18.260 you're not living in the U.S. and you're not earning your money in the U.S., I would imagine that

01:07:23.880 there's a way to do that. And that's why we say that capital is mobile. And that's what happened,

01:07:30.180 by the way, in Europe. That's why we saw all of these celebrities and multimillionaires who decided

01:07:38.000 that they were just going to go. And by the way, if you're out of the country, even if the U.S. says

01:07:42.520 like you, quote unquote, can't do that. I mean, if you're gone, you're gone. Right. Yeah.

01:07:47.840 OK, so let's go back to this this money manager who works for a big company. You're familiar with WTW?

01:07:56.140 Yeah. So basically, and we've kept the gentleman's name confidential on purpose because he's doing a

01:08:02.540 great job trying to work on this from the inside. Yes. We'll blow the whistle on this.

01:08:08.240 And so basically, he's working for a firm that does consulting for pension funds,

01:08:14.260 for basically private pension funds. So if your company has a 401k, they're going to have a consultant.

01:08:20.660 And this company he works for, by the way, owns like 40 percent of the market. They're one of like

01:08:25.500 the two big ones. So everybody's heard of them before. And this is a really incredible point

01:08:32.760 that, you know, through this executive order from Biden, they're trying to get around the fiduciary

01:08:39.000 duty that plans have to the people who are invested, which is insane. They should be doing things for

01:08:46.140 your benefit, not from some central planners. OK, so here's the difference. This is the difference

01:08:52.400 between stakeholder capitalism and shareholder capitalism. They sound alike, but they're

01:08:57.760 completely different. Shareholder means I take my money, I buy shares and I expect a return or I could

01:09:07.200 get a loss, but I pay for it. And it is it's my risk and my benefit. By eliminating stake or shareholders,

01:09:15.980 as your capitalist term and replacing it with stakeholders, you're only one of many at the

01:09:25.680 table and the others do not have necessarily profit as their first desire. So you're just one quiet

01:09:35.980 mouse at the table with very, very little power. I have that right. So I would argue that the phrase

01:09:42.920 stakeholder is complete and utter BS. It's double speak. Yes, yes, yes, it is. Because the reality is

01:09:50.760 that as a shareholder, you are a stakeholder. Other stakeholders are your customers. Other

01:09:56.060 stakeholders are your employees. And all of those things in a market system align very well. If you're

01:10:02.960 a company that doesn't treat its employees well, if you're a employee or a company that doesn't treat

01:10:09.240 its customers well, that ends up getting reflected in your revenue, which by the way, drops down to

01:10:15.920 the profits. And then the real stakeholders, the shareholders get mad and say, you're not treating

01:10:21.140 these other people correctly. I'm not getting a return and something needs to change. So all of

01:10:25.320 those are very much aligned. What they're trying to call stakeholders aren't stakeholders. They're

01:10:30.160 people who think that they're morally superior. They're outside of the scope of the company.

01:10:34.720 They're central planners who are trying to impose their will on every company that's out there.

01:10:40.640 They have no stake in this whatsoever. They're not putting up money. They're not part of this.

01:10:45.500 They just want their plan. So they've come up with this really cute and clever name that we're

01:10:50.060 stakeholders. By the way, no, you're not. I love that. So this is where like Larry Fink from BlackRock,

01:10:57.540 really horrible, horrible guy. And he is he's not investing necessarily his money. He's controlling

01:11:06.680 all of the money from the people who have invested and they're expecting a profit. So this guy says

01:11:13.700 there are things that you have to do if you have money in a 401k. And what are they, Carol?

01:11:20.720 Well, before that, let's just talk about the huge moral hazard here. You've got a couple

01:11:25.000 of different huge entities, BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street, which are the top shareholder

01:11:31.480 pretty much every public company because of their size and scale. They've got $10 trillion

01:11:36.220 in asset under management just in BlackRock. So for them to be able to vote on behalf of everybody's

01:11:44.140 money in the way that they think is fit. I mean, they're supposed to be fiduciaries and somebody

01:11:49.780 should be raising a flag here and maybe testing them legally. Are you really doing things that are

01:11:55.200 in the best interest of the shareholders? Or are you pushing your agenda? Which goes back to the part

01:12:00.080 that you asked from this gentleman in terms of your pension funds. He said that you can talk to an

01:12:07.060 ERISA attorney to see if maybe there is a case for a breach of fiduciary duty.

01:12:12.580 Wait, wait. How do you find? I've never even heard of an ERISA attorney. How do you find an ERISA attorney?

01:12:17.000 My favorite way to do anything is by internet search or asking around to people that you know.

01:12:23.300 And that's E-R-I-S-A.

01:12:24.580 E-S-A. Yeah. So basically ERISA is the broad set of laws that oversee pension fund management. So if

01:12:32.460 you have a pension or a 401k and they're pushing ESG, you should be talking to an attorney. You can

01:12:38.480 also talk to your state legislate, state legislators about that. So laws that say, you know, what you're

01:12:45.300 breaching fiduciary duties and maybe even suggesting something, you know, around a law

01:12:50.640 requiring employers who use retirement funds to not only disclose it, but to look into whether

01:12:57.580 that's even legal. And then use your voice. Contact your employer and your benefits administrator and

01:13:03.400 tell them that you are concerned that this push for ESG isn't in your best interest. And if you can

01:13:08.200 get a bunch of people to do that and to make noise, this is where you can really make a difference

01:13:13.240 and help to stop this nonsense.

01:13:14.960 And this is really important, again, because, you know, these companies that are being tagged

01:13:22.780 are not necessarily the most successful companies. They're not necessarily the ones that you would

01:13:29.280 bet on. In fact, quite the opposite, because these are new upcoming companies and everybody

01:13:38.240 is investing in them for ESG standards. However, that doesn't mean they're turning the big profit

01:13:45.140 yet. That's a future bet. Well, if I'm a retiree, I want my money to go in where I'm going to get the

01:13:52.900 best return. That's not necessarily what an ESG plan is doing.

01:13:59.020 Well, it can't. Right. But by definition, over time, that if your company is pursuing standards

01:14:05.200 other than doing what's in the best interest of the company and its actual shareholders and

01:14:10.500 stakeholders, just by straight up logic, if they do that, you're not going to get the best returns.

01:14:16.360 And by the way, it is going to shape what happens in the economy overall. We're seeing it right now.

01:14:23.620 Part of the reason why your gas prices are so high, part of the reason why we're having these

01:14:30.600 issues is because ESG is funneling capital to the projects they want and keeping capital from things

01:14:38.380 like oil and gas. This is by dictate, by mandate. And so it's not letting the consumers and the choices

01:14:45.920 of millions of people shape the decisions. It's a handful of people who are saying this is how we want

01:14:51.720 the economy to look. And we know that is not capitalism.

01:14:55.780 It is phenomenal that more people aren't paying attention to it. Carol, thank you so much.

01:15:01.560 Appreciate it.

01:15:01.900 Thank you. And by the way, read your book, The Great Reset, to find out more about the CSG play

01:15:06.580 because it is so, so important. People have to understand that underpinning. So just a little

01:15:11.640 plug over there.

01:15:12.320 Well, thank you very much. We don't pay you to be on this show, but perhaps we should. That was very

01:15:17.580 good. Thank you very much. Appreciate it, Carol.

01:15:19.820 Have a good one.

01:15:20.320 Carol Roth. By the way, she's right, though. The book will explain all of this and it is going to

01:15:26.840 cost you in your pension and you need to find out the California. What is it? Calipers.

01:15:34.040 That's all ESG. Now, all of it is ESG. And if they're doing it, I can guarantee your state benefits.

01:15:41.520 That's why, Idaho, you should have passed a law that said you can't invest in anything that is working

01:15:52.960 with the ES or G because ESG will hurt these investments while hurting our own states.

01:16:02.100 So ask your company. And if you want to really get serious about it, find an ERISA, E-R-I-S-A, ERISA

01:16:13.880 attorney, and ask them, do I have a case for breach of fiduciary duty with the respect on my 401k or my

01:16:23.160 pension? Are they doing the right thing for me or are they doing the right thing for them?

01:16:30.180 Back in a minute. Big fan of being prepared. As you know, if you've been listening to me for any

01:16:36.520 period of time, you know that being prepared isn't just about stored food, water, guns, ammo,

01:16:42.600 God, you know, stuff like that. It's also about making sure that the life you lead is as safe as

01:16:48.360 possible and you're, you're watching your back. Well, how are you going to do that? How are you

01:16:55.540 going to do that online? Because I think I'm pretty safe and they've gotten into my house. They've

01:17:03.360 gotten into, you know, stuff past my firewalls, past all my protection. It's bad when it happens.

01:17:10.620 So now what do you do? Well, the first thing you do is you get the best people you can

01:17:15.320 to stop anybody that can be stopped. Now, nobody can stop everybody because it's changing all the

01:17:22.720 time. But when you have somebody coming in for identity theft, you got to try to stop them with

01:17:29.200 the best in the business. And I think that's lifelock. Then if somebody does get through,

01:17:34.860 you become a victim. How the heck do I clean that up? I don't know. How do I get my name back? How do I

01:17:40.160 get my credit back? How do I get my credibility back? That's where lifelock comes in as well.

01:17:46.420 They alert you if they see something. And if somebody misses it, if they miss it, if somehow

01:17:52.400 or another slips through, they are going to be able to work with you to fix it. 800-LIFELOCK.

01:18:35.400 888-727-BECK is the phone number. Joe Biden made some news over the weekend in his big speech

01:18:44.120 speech because, as you know, he was put into office based on his foreign policy expertise. This

01:18:51.300 is what he does. He's known for it. He has owned this arena his entire career. Now, when you look

01:18:58.120 back at his entire career, you see nonstop terrible, terrible mistakes. Terrible judgments. Failure after

01:19:09.320 failure after failure. But that is still the rationale proposed for his presidency. And he made a big

01:19:16.220 speech in Poland this weekend talking about Ukraine. And he blurted out something. This is clip four,

01:19:27.400 where he spoke about Vladimir Putin. Listen.

01:19:30.660 Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia. For free people refused to live in a world of

01:19:38.280 hopelessness and darkness. We will have a different future, a brighter future, rooted in democracy and

01:19:43.680 principles, hope and light, of decency and dignity, of freedom and possibilities. For God's sake,

01:19:50.540 this man cannot remain in power.

01:19:53.840 Now, you might agree with that. I think a lot of Americans do agree with that,

01:19:58.780 that Vladimir Putin in power is a problem for us, for the world, certainly for Ukraine,

01:20:05.240 for everybody. However, when a president makes a statement like that, it seems as if our official

01:20:12.840 policy is regime change in Russia. And that's not something you blurt out at the end of a speech.

01:20:18.860 That's something that if you're going to go down that road, number one, you do it after careful

01:20:25.040 consideration as to how you roll that out. And secondarily, you do it with the knowledge that

01:20:31.660 you're likely to start World War Three. You know, when you're going to war with Russia,

01:20:37.600 you're threatening them with regime change. Vladimir Putin is going to do pretty much anything

01:20:42.720 he can to hold on to power. So the fact that this is just blurted out at the end of a speech

01:20:50.000 is a real problem. You also have him talking to troops. This is the same trip, same trip,

01:20:59.260 multiple mistakes that the White House later on had to try to walk back. Here is Biden talking

01:21:04.420 about U.S. troops possibly heading to Ukraine.

01:21:07.460 Now, with the Ukrainian people, Ukrainian people have a lot of backbone. They have a lot of guts.

01:21:14.160 And I'm sure you're observing it. And I don't mean just the military, which is we've been

01:21:18.880 trained in since back when Russia moved into the Southeast Ukraine. But also the average citizen.

01:21:31.400 Look at how they're stepping up. Look at how they're stepping up. And you're going to see when

01:21:36.280 you're there, some of you have been there, you're going to see women, young people standing in the

01:21:42.660 middle of the front of a damn tank.

01:21:44.540 Okay. So where would they be to see a woman or a child standing up in front of a tank? Where

01:21:49.540 would that occur? Wouldn't happen in Poland. Would have to be in Ukraine. Seemingly saying

01:21:55.000 that some U.S. troops have already been in Ukraine. Again, the type of comment when you

01:22:02.320 blurt it out could risk World War III. That's how serious that is. And I ask you this because

01:22:08.560 I have stood, I think, in the same position from the very beginning. Joe Biden is going

01:22:13.840 to be a terrible president. Kamala Harris would be a terrible president. Let's pray that, because

01:22:19.420 I think Kamala would be worse. Let's pray that everything's fine with Joe. And he never leaves

01:22:23.840 office because Kamala would be worse. The question at this point is, is that true? I can, because

01:22:31.060 I think Kamala Harris, who is famous for her basically blathering on about nothing, would

01:22:37.940 be preferable at this point to a president who mistakenly might draw us into global nuclear

01:22:44.920 war. At least she would just suck as a president and not possibly maybe not get us all on the

01:22:53.060 wrong side of an ICBM. I don't know. At this point, would Kamala be terrible, but slightly

01:23:01.880 better? It's the type of thing she might even be putting on her business cards right now.

01:23:06.820 Kamala, terrible, but slightly better. This is the Glenn Beck program. Gosh, no more. No more

01:23:13.560 interviews. Stop going on television, please. You know what would help is if we all had a boosted

01:23:19.020 immune system, if we had, if we just had something that was specifically formulated to boost your

01:23:28.660 natural immune system, what could it be? Who could possibly think of a product like that?

01:23:35.660 Well, Stu, I'm glad you asked. It was Dr. Zelensky, Vladimir Zelenko, who came up, he came up with

01:23:51.500 States. And you know what it does, Stu? What does it do, Glenn? Well, that's a stupid question.

01:23:57.200 It boosts your immunity. That's what we were talking about. Oh, yeah, that's right. Boost your

01:25:09.360 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:18.780 Well, if you thought it was tough talk coming from Joe Biden to Putin this weekend, Joe Biden has just come out and made a statement that if Putin doesn't get out of Ukraine, he's sending Will Smith over just to slap him across.

01:25:34.800 But I'm gonna give you such a hit. It'll sting for a long time.

01:25:42.340 All right.

01:25:43.940 Chief Investment Officer of the Bleakley Advisory Group expects a recession within the next six months.

01:25:51.920 Oh, that'd be...

01:25:53.140 You know, I would be happy with just a recession, wouldn't you?

01:25:56.440 He manages about $8 billion in assets.

01:25:59.680 Then there's David Rosenberg, the current chief economist at Rosenberg Research.

01:26:04.000 Previously, the chief economist at Merrill Lynch said,

01:26:07.920 recession coming as early as summer.

01:26:11.660 Oh, that's great.

01:26:13.000 And Larry Summers just told Fox Business the Fed has set the table for stagflation and a major recession.

01:26:20.580 Have you called Goldline yet?

01:26:25.500 You might want to call Goldline right now.

01:26:28.380 You need a hedge against insanity, a hedge against inflation.

01:26:32.400 What they're doing to the dollar now is intentional.

01:26:36.780 They are going to reset this dollar.

01:26:40.320 And that'll be good because then it'll be a programmable digital currency

01:26:46.060 where they could tell you what you can and can't buy

01:26:49.680 and have all of the instantaneous information on you of what you're spending your money on

01:26:56.080 and how much you're making.

01:26:57.380 And then they could just take taxes out whenever they wanted

01:27:01.160 or shut your money line down.

01:27:04.060 A drop of a hat would be great.

01:27:05.680 Get gold.

01:27:06.680 Call Goldline now.

01:27:10.060 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:27:15.260 Chris Stewart is with us now.

01:27:18.500 He is the representative from the state of Utah.

01:27:23.480 Welcome to the program, Mr. Chris Stewart.

01:27:25.960 How are you?

01:27:27.380 Glenn, great to be with you as always.

01:27:30.060 I sense a little sarcasm, so I want you to know I'm going to keep my sarcasm in check

01:27:33.940 as best as can during our time together this morning.

01:27:36.340 I don't know what you're talking about.

01:27:38.320 Chris is the author of The Final Fight for Freedom.

01:27:41.400 If you haven't read that book yet, you should.

01:27:43.960 It is the perfect book for people that you're trying to explain what is happening

01:27:48.760 and what is coming because it takes you from a fictional scenario

01:27:53.800 that everybody can understand.

01:27:55.320 And then he breaks it down and says, yeah, this is what's really happening.

01:28:00.380 It's a fantastic book.

01:28:01.920 The Final Fight for Freedom.

01:28:03.740 So, Chris, a couple of things.

01:28:06.740 First, let's start with the president this weekend.

01:28:10.120 Everybody's talking about what he said that, you know, basically,

01:28:13.540 somebody should go over and shoot Putin.

01:28:16.180 Maybe we'll do it.

01:28:18.120 I mean, that's one way to interpret it.

01:28:20.900 And people are trying to make it look like he's just incompetent.

01:28:25.380 I have another theory.

01:28:28.480 This is what he really feels.

01:28:31.460 He's he also you could blow it off.

01:28:34.240 And I did at first blow off his statement to the troops.

01:28:37.400 And you'll see that soon when you get to when you get to Ukraine.

01:28:41.740 And they blew that off as just a, you know, a gaffe.

01:28:46.760 But then the White House yesterday also came out with a tweet that I found really quite frightening.

01:28:54.460 And that is we're engaged anew in a great battle for freedom,

01:28:59.020 a battle between democracy and autocracy, between liberty and repression.

01:29:03.980 This battle will not be won in days or months.

01:29:07.560 We need to steel ourselves for the long fight ahead.

01:29:12.560 What the hell's going on, Chris?

01:29:14.720 Yeah, boy, there's a lot to unpack there, Glenn.

01:29:17.720 You know, to his statement, there's no question that that's the way he feels.

01:29:21.800 I'm talking about Biden saying that, you know, we've got to get get rid of Vladimir Putin.

01:29:25.920 There's no question in my mind.

01:29:27.320 And I think he's made that clear through the last several months that that's exactly what he would like to see happen.

01:29:32.020 And I think we need to ask ourselves a couple questions.

01:29:35.080 And first, do you think that Vladimir Putin is stronger now at home than he was three days ago?

01:29:43.260 Oh, a lot stronger.

01:29:44.160 I promise you that he is.

01:29:45.440 There's no doubt about it.

01:29:47.220 And by the way, the irony of us claiming and, you know, this five years we went through or, you know,

01:29:54.000 Russia was interfering with our own elections, with our own democratic process.

01:29:57.840 How do you think the people in Russia feel now?

01:30:00.040 I mean, and so they're going to rally around him.

01:30:02.620 It makes him stronger.

01:30:03.540 And the second thing is, do you think this makes it more or less likely that we'll be able to exit Ukraine without this getting worse?

01:30:09.900 Because it certainly makes it less likely that that's the outcome when Vladimir Putin feels like he's fighting literally for his life.

01:30:16.060 So, Chris, I heard this morning that Vladimir Putin is saying phase one is over and it looked like a chance for him to, you know, save face and kind of retreat and just take the Dunbar region, if that would be acceptable to the Ukrainians, which I doubt.

01:30:37.880 But it looked like he was, for the first time, not talking about advancing.

01:30:44.280 So are we closer to peace or closer to war after this weekend?

01:30:49.460 Well, I mean, who knows, Glenn?

01:30:52.760 I mean, honestly, I could give you my opinion on that and I will, but we have to caveat it with the sense that the fog of war is thick.

01:30:58.460 And it's like the great saying, everyone's got a plan till you get punched in the face.

01:31:03.000 And that's what we're dealing with here.

01:31:04.620 But whether it's less likely or more likely is unknown.

01:31:07.560 I think it's certainly less likely that we have an exit to provide blood or some kind of off ramp now than it was three days ago.

01:31:15.420 But that has to be our goal.

01:31:17.760 We have to try to set up some framework where he can claim some kind of victory.

01:31:22.680 And whether it's they give up the domestic region in the east and probably Crimean, as you said, Zelensky has been as indicated, he'd be open to that.

01:31:30.820 But the alternative is just a catastrophe.

01:31:33.060 And that is we kill who knows how many Ukrainian people in a proxy war for year after year after year.

01:31:39.540 Now, it will look like Syria, seven, eight, 10 years from now.

01:31:43.280 If you engage in a proxy war between Vladimir Putin and the United States and Ukrainians are in the middle of that.

01:31:50.940 And by the way, if you think that Vladimir Putin has to go, well, what about President Xi?

01:31:55.580 What about the Mullahs in Iran?

01:31:57.120 What about, you know, North Korea?

01:31:59.200 Where do we draw the line?

01:32:01.000 We're going to go and compel.

01:32:03.060 That's why it was scary to me that we are we are saying outright this is not a gaffe.

01:32:09.740 This is from, you know, the White House and POTUS is Twitter feed.

01:32:16.120 A battle between democracy and autocracy, between liberty and repression.

01:32:21.080 This battle will not be won in days or months either.

01:32:24.340 We need to steel ourselves for the long fight ahead.

01:32:26.560 When you're making it the battle, not for Ukraine, but half the world and the world is already dividing itself now because of Ukraine.

01:32:37.260 What are we really doing?

01:32:40.200 What are we fighting?

01:32:41.540 Are we preparing to separate ourselves from half the world?

01:32:45.740 Yeah, Glenn, and I think at the top of your program, I was listening to you, and I think you laid that out really well and very thoughtfully.

01:32:54.200 And once again, if you make this a battle between freedom and autocracy or freedom and tyranny, then why only the Ukraine?

01:33:01.640 Why only Russia?

01:33:02.560 Once again, why not President Xi?

01:33:04.680 If you want to see autocracy, if you want to see repression, go to the Western regions in China, as I've been able to do.

01:33:11.680 And look at millions of Muslim Uyghurs who are in essentially concentration camps.

01:33:16.840 And by the way, building goods that our businesses here are more than happy to purchase.

01:33:21.020 And where do you draw the line, including, by the way, Glenn, with some of our allies?

01:33:26.320 Because some of our allies are not pillars of virtue.

01:33:29.280 We align ourselves because we must in order to, you know, enable some type of global security.

01:33:36.020 There are occasions where we have to align ourselves with people that are not democratic governments.

01:33:41.660 And where do you draw the line?

01:33:43.000 And if he's stealing us for this thing in Ukraine, then I wonder, well, what else is there?

01:33:46.800 And how do you justify only the Ukraine and only Vladimir Putin?

01:33:49.760 And it's nonsense.

01:33:51.580 And we surely have learned this over the last 20 years.

01:33:54.720 We cannot compel democracy on nations that it is not within their history.

01:34:02.140 It's not within the people's actual genuine, sincere interest in the sense that they are more than, in many cases, they're okay with the government and the leadership they have.

01:34:11.420 Let me let me let me switch topics here, because I don't know how he defines freedom and repression either, because we have had a growing surveillance state in this country for quite some time.

01:34:27.220 And it is terrifying.

01:34:29.460 There is no such thing as just metadata anymore.

01:34:32.640 Everything can be tracked down to the individual person.

01:34:38.000 Uh, and, uh, you have just introduced legislation that is, uh, set up to prevent any intelligence agency from spying on American citizens.

01:34:49.040 Don't we already have that law somewhere in the bill of rights?

01:34:54.560 Yeah, yeah, we do.

01:34:55.980 And in fact, we have it very explicitly in executive, uh, orders and in registration.

01:35:01.000 It's already exists, but here's the deal, Glenn.

01:35:03.260 And I'm going to try to not be sarcastic about this, but I have to make this one point is the U S U S people do not trust government agencies anymore.

01:35:11.240 Pick one who knew that the CDC was political.

01:35:14.200 Well, we learned four or five years ago, the FBI and the DOJ certainly are.

01:35:18.540 And, and the NSA and the CIA, it, you post office is spying on us.

01:35:25.180 Yeah.

01:35:26.120 So this is, and this is, and thank you for bringing this up, Glenn, because this is so important.

01:35:30.320 And this administration came to power and they said the greatest threat facing our security is not once again, China or Russia or the mullahs in Iran or North Korea.

01:35:38.520 They said the greatest threat facing our own security is internal.

01:35:41.880 They said it's white supremacy, domestic, violent extremists, DBEs, they call it.

01:35:46.880 Okay.

01:35:47.160 So, well, then they use that justification, which is nonsense, as I think the vast majority of Americans would agree.

01:35:53.900 But then they say, okay, well, the intelligence community, for example, the NSA, the CIA, they cannot collect intelligence, but now suddenly under this administration, they can receive intelligence.

01:36:07.060 Well, tell me the difference.

01:36:09.220 What is the difference between collecting intelligence and receiving intelligence?

01:36:13.220 And they then have used that new justification, that new jurisdiction, you know, description of a word, which I think we would all understand, say, okay, well, now we are going to involve the National Counterterrorism Training Center and the Director of National Intelligence to write reports on domestic extremists, which are by definition, American citizens.

01:36:34.260 It cannot happen.

01:36:35.260 Well, we are, I mean, we found a very convenient way we spy on England and they spy on us.

01:36:45.360 And I don't even think we need that anymore.

01:36:48.440 I mean, the problem is, is the intelligence agencies include almost every agency now.

01:36:56.140 It's not that hard to do, apparently.

01:36:59.340 And we're working together all around the world.

01:37:02.620 And somebody told me, Chris, I said, when will a president shut this down?

01:37:07.780 And they said, never, never, because the excuse will be everybody else has it.

01:37:14.500 And we can't be the only one that doesn't know what our citizens are doing.

01:37:20.560 Yeah.

01:37:21.380 So, well, go ahead.

01:37:24.340 I think it's fair to point this out.

01:37:26.220 You know, this type of attitude towards American people, the incredible abuse of the Department of Justice and FBI that we saw in the Russian hoax, where they're literally lying to Congress again in the beginning.

01:37:37.900 They're lying to the FISA courts, et cetera.

01:37:40.580 That only happened under a Democratic administration.

01:37:43.740 And this new redefinition of words to where they cannot collect that they can receive.

01:37:49.140 Once again, only a Democrat administration is allowing that.

01:37:52.800 So I don't think we've got equal concerns here.

01:37:56.580 It's certainly true of the Republican Party, ironically, because this is a bit of a shift.

01:38:00.040 Most of us were viewed as being defense hawks.

01:38:01.860 But now we are the protectors of privacy.

01:38:04.760 It's the ACLU and our Democratic colleagues and others such as them who are saying, you know, they're the ones who are fighting our initiatives, our efforts to try to retain privacy and protect civil liberties for Americans.

01:38:16.800 So what would be the punishment for, let's say, Google just happens to say, you know what?

01:38:22.840 We have all this data on people and we just got to get it off our servers.

01:38:28.360 Do you want to take a look at it?

01:38:29.920 What would be the what would be the penalty for any government agency?

01:38:37.000 Yeah.

01:38:37.700 So, I mean, look, if they are if the problem has been is, like I said, when we first started the interview, there's already rules.

01:38:44.680 There's already executive orders.

01:38:46.120 There's already legislation, but they don't attribute any penalty to it.

01:38:50.840 It's like, hey, this is a bad idea.

01:38:52.700 But if you do it, we're just going to remind you it's a bad idea.

01:38:56.320 And then we're going to move on.

01:38:57.840 Right.

01:38:58.280 And so, you know, but there's no penalties attached.

01:39:01.880 So there's no disincentive for it.

01:39:04.080 And so this legislation would attach a penalty for it.

01:39:07.040 It would attach a penalty to the person, to the individual.

01:39:10.040 So let's just say you you were you were involved in any of these, you know, the Russiagate scandals.

01:39:21.520 What kind of penalty would you receive?

01:39:25.120 Well, and honestly, Glenn, they're kind of apples and oranges because the Russiagate scandal was just so clear.

01:39:31.100 I mean, there was clear deception, there was clear lying to agencies, there was clear deception to the FISA courts.

01:39:36.600 So it actually already is against the law, as you can imagine.

01:39:40.360 And there are penalties attached to those kinds of behavior.

01:39:44.060 This is a little bit different in the sense of they are actually working under what they believe is a new executive authority.

01:39:49.980 And so it clarifies that you don't have that authority.

01:39:52.940 And if you continue to claim that authority, we're going to punish you.

01:39:57.660 We're going to prosecute you for doing that.

01:39:59.600 You can't do it and just say, well, we believe we have the authority to do it.

01:40:03.000 No, we're going to say very definitively, you do not.

01:40:06.380 All right.

01:40:06.600 Do you have time just to hang for a minute?

01:40:08.660 I've got a couple more questions for you.

01:40:11.120 I do.

01:40:11.480 Okay, good.

01:40:12.500 All right.

01:40:13.080 Back in one minute.

01:40:14.120 I want to tell you the number one concern that you and your family should have right now is inflation and what's happening to the money.

01:40:23.360 I have I called the publishers of the Tuttle Twins and I asked them if they would just make this book free.

01:40:32.240 This this book is for your kids and it is a great way to understand inflation and the Federal Reserve.

01:40:39.660 What it does, what it all means, what the cure is for it.

01:40:45.000 It is based on the book, the creature from Jekyll Island.

01:40:48.980 And that's what this is called.

01:40:50.620 The Tuttle Twins and the creature from Jekyll Island.

01:40:53.340 It is a monster.

01:40:56.040 The Fed is a monster.

01:40:58.760 And the more we feed it, the worse it gets and the bigger it gets.

01:41:03.480 And it's about to get the meal of a lifetime.

01:41:08.040 Everybody's accounts.

01:41:09.660 They have a lot of great books with the Tuttle Twins.

01:41:12.420 But I think this is one that every single family should have right now.

01:41:17.480 So they've agreed to give away this book.

01:41:20.060 It's all about money and inflation and the Fed.

01:41:23.100 All you pay for is shipping.

01:41:24.800 Go to Tuttle Twins Beck dot com.

01:41:27.780 Tuttle Twins Beck dot com.

01:41:29.500 While supplies last, you will get this free book.

01:41:32.500 The creature from Jekyll Island.

01:41:34.040 And you will understand inflation.

01:41:36.980 You will understand how it works, what causes it and what the what the Fed really is.

01:41:42.960 Tuttle Twins Beck dot com.

01:41:45.220 Again, a free book.

01:41:46.860 Just pay for shipping.

01:41:50.720 Ten seconds.

01:41:51.820 Station ID.

01:42:03.960 So we're back with Congressman Chris Stewart.

01:42:07.540 And his book is the final fight for freedom, which is a must read.

01:42:12.500 And it just encapsulates almost all of the stuff that we are fighting against right now.

01:42:20.300 And that is a wide array.

01:42:22.020 And it's all explained in a very simple, simple way.

01:42:26.220 And it's a little it's a little breathtaking.

01:42:28.020 But it is also written in a way to where it takes you on a story and then shows you the facts of that story and tells you exactly what's happening in our government.

01:42:39.180 It's called the final fight for freedom.

01:42:41.100 And you can pick it up at bookstores now.

01:42:43.300 It really is a must read.

01:42:45.040 Chris, I want to talk to you a little bit about the the maximum mother load of personal information, the programmable digital currency that we're now, quote, studying in Washington.

01:43:00.860 Who is the one that actually authorizes the currency?

01:43:06.180 Is it Congress or is it the Fed or who is it that says you can switch to a digital currency?

01:43:15.760 Yeah, that's actually a great question, Glenn.

01:43:17.900 And I'm not an expert on this.

01:43:19.180 I'll tell you my view, but but it's subject to this one caveat.

01:43:24.740 And that is, regardless of who's authorized, it may not be the actual individual or agencies who end up authorizing a digital currency.

01:43:32.500 But I think that Congress ultimately has oversight on this.

01:43:35.900 Clearly, we do.

01:43:36.840 And clearly, we authorize this.

01:43:38.140 Now, the Fed, as you know, more than certainly more than more than I do.

01:43:42.820 But as you indicate over and over again, the Fed has taken powers into itself, just like the president has over Congress.

01:43:49.460 The Fed has taken powers into itself that are just frightening over the last 80 years and accelerating rapidly.

01:43:55.820 I mean, in a breathtaking pace over the last five to eight years, going back probably to 2008.

01:44:02.700 And, you know, it's an irony that the one thing people wanted from cryptocurrency was privacy.

01:44:07.680 They wanted to, you know, to have an ability to not be manipulated by Fed policy or by monetary policy.

01:44:15.520 And the creation of a government currency does exactly the opposite.

01:44:21.040 I mean, it beholdens us in ways to where virtually everything we do, including everywhere we go, every purchase we make would be monitored, potentially monitored.

01:44:32.580 And if so, you know, if deemed necessary, corrected by federal policy, by federal bureaucrats.

01:44:37.860 It should frighten the life out of people.

01:44:39.360 Okay. Well, Chris, would you look into that for me and see if there's anybody on the Hill that is at least even questioning the Fed?

01:44:49.100 Because I think this is going to come fast and furious.

01:44:52.380 Oh, well, Glenn, there are. I promise you.

01:44:54.740 I sat down for probably a little more than an hour with Patrick McHenry, who will be the next chairman of financial services, just last week on this issue.

01:45:03.220 And I promise you, he's intensely aware of it. He's intensely concerned as we are.

01:45:08.840 He sitting on that committee and being the chairman, we pray in 2022 when we take over the House.

01:45:14.040 He will play a key role in trying to trying to restrict what I think is is just a horrible, horrible idea for this administration once again.

01:45:22.800 Well, I am glad to hear that, Chris. Thank you very much.

01:45:25.760 All right. The name of the book is The Final Fight for Freedom.

01:45:29.860 If you want to get into the fight, he's just introduced a new bill to prevent intelligence agencies from spying on American citizens.

01:45:39.800 You can find all of his information at stuart.house.gov.

01:45:44.940 Get involved. There are no bystanders.

01:45:49.080 Back in a minute.

01:45:49.960 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:47:31.440 We're glad you're here.

01:47:32.440 If you go to glennbeck.com, you'll find all kinds of resources for you, especially if you go to the blog and you look for articles.

01:47:40.720 You're going to find all kinds of great, great stories there.

01:47:47.860 One of them is The Great Reset, Advice for Dummies, Meet Your Neighbors.

01:47:53.300 This is by Michaela Hedrick, who Michaela is new on the staff.

01:47:59.660 You've been with us two months?

01:48:01.960 No, it's about four months.

01:48:03.920 I don't know.

01:48:04.460 It's a vortex here.

01:48:05.480 I know.

01:48:05.800 It's weird.

01:48:06.620 Time just goes away, doesn't it?

01:48:08.820 Um, so Michaela has been here and she's one of our writers and she's a millennial and you have set out to try, unbeknownst to me, to try to do all the things that I urge people to do.

01:48:23.160 Yeah, I think that if you believe something, you can't believe it enough just to let it give you anxiety.

01:48:27.960 You have to believe it enough to do something about it.

01:48:30.660 And I know I was stopping at the anxiety when I first started working here.

01:48:35.820 I have that effect on everyone, don't I?

01:48:38.280 You do.

01:48:38.840 Yes.

01:48:39.580 And so I wanted to do something.

01:48:43.580 That is the whole point of why I'm writing these articles is so that way we can get over the fear and the hopelessness.

01:48:49.180 The great scholar Yoda said that fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to suffering.

01:48:55.220 Well, fear comes when we don't know what to do.

01:48:57.400 Sorry.

01:48:57.520 Oh, was that wrong?

01:48:58.580 Leads to suffering.

01:49:00.480 Yes.

01:49:01.620 That's how he said it.

01:49:02.720 But anyway, go ahead.

01:49:03.220 Much, much better.

01:49:05.920 So you're right.

01:49:06.900 And people get trapped in the fear and they don't know what to do.

01:49:10.560 But you have said that I overwhelm you with things to do.

01:49:15.080 Well, you used to.

01:49:16.240 Okay.

01:49:16.760 And now I feel that I have to be in control of my own life.

01:49:20.300 I can't let all these things that I can't control freak me out constantly.

01:49:24.360 There are things that I can do and I have to do them.

01:49:27.480 I feel that one of the biggest issues is that we all are like, if only somebody would do something.

01:49:32.940 On Twitter, we get on and say, if someone else did this, it would all be better.

01:49:36.840 Well, this is a be your own hero moment right now.

01:49:39.560 And I'm optimistic.

01:49:41.280 I'm young.

01:49:41.680 I feel like the right person to try to be my own hero because I still believe that I can be.

01:49:45.160 Yeah.

01:49:45.620 And so I want to try.

01:49:47.160 No, I'm kidding.

01:49:48.000 I'm kidding.

01:49:48.560 I'm kidding.

01:49:49.040 I'm kidding.

01:49:49.520 The despair will kick in eventually.

01:49:51.340 Eventually, just be like, there's no way to win.

01:49:54.680 Right.

01:49:55.200 In like 20 years, I want to sit here and still be hopeful just as a kick it to everybody who says that.

01:50:00.140 And it's a hard.

01:50:00.620 I know that.

01:50:00.920 No, no, no.

01:50:01.200 And it's not true.

01:50:03.200 I mean, what you believe now is true.

01:50:06.080 And it's true now.

01:50:07.200 Just so many people just get so worn down.

01:50:11.560 That makes sense.

01:50:12.260 Yeah.

01:50:12.660 It's a lot.

01:50:13.200 And I want to break it down step by step.

01:50:15.760 You talk about being in your local communities.

01:50:17.640 You say they are a lot.

01:50:18.520 You need to be in a community of people who are like you.

01:50:20.940 Well, most of us don't know who our community is at all.

01:50:23.600 We have no clue who lives next to us.

01:50:25.660 And if they're completely crazy, maybe they're completely on board.

01:50:28.680 That's most of us.

01:50:29.220 I did a poll in the office.

01:50:30.020 I said, who here even knows their neighbors?

01:50:31.620 Just sitting in the office.

01:50:32.980 Everyone's like, no, like, not really.

01:50:36.680 And then I'm like, who here thinks it'd be a good idea to know their neighbors?

01:50:39.060 They're like, oh, yeah, it'd be a great idea to know my neighbors.

01:50:40.880 So there's this kind of gap between what we think and what we do.

01:50:44.560 And I'm trying to close that gap and prove that it can be done.

01:50:46.960 That we can live the things that we believe.

01:50:48.720 Because if we just believe them and do nothing about it, that is the recipe for anxiety.

01:50:52.500 That's how you get anxious.

01:50:53.460 And it is crucial that you know your neighbors and that if you are alone, that you don't live there.

01:51:01.600 You have to or you have a group that you know really, really well that does see the world the same way.

01:51:12.100 You just you.

01:51:13.140 No man is an island.

01:51:14.280 And what's coming.

01:51:15.380 We're going to need each other.

01:51:17.180 Yeah, I talk about I grew up in Florida with the hurricanes and we had a woman across the street who was elderly and she was losing her memory.

01:51:25.460 And during the hurricanes, it'd be really confusing for her because she would have no power and forget why.

01:51:30.740 And there'd be these storms going on and all of our neighbors would bring her food and they would come and remind her what's going on and comfort her.

01:51:36.180 And I learned something from that because there's nothing stopping me from being that person one day.

01:51:42.140 And yeah, do on to others as you'd have them do on to you is not just a cute thing to say.

01:51:46.480 It's a fact of life.

01:51:47.540 They talk about it in karma, too, that what you do will be done to you.

01:51:51.860 That's just what's going to happen.

01:51:53.240 I had a very similar situation growing up.

01:51:55.560 There was a neighbor who, you know, we didn't call it Alzheimer's at the time, but was losing their memory.

01:52:00.940 And I learned a great lesson.

01:52:02.420 And, you know, if you go over there, you can pretty much take whatever you want and they don't remember it.

01:52:07.600 Wait, that's not exactly what I was trying to say.

01:52:09.840 I feel like maybe you're missing the point.

01:52:11.680 Oh, that wasn't the point.

01:52:12.680 Is that what you're getting from this, Stu?

01:52:14.580 Pretty much, yeah.

01:52:15.800 Oh, shoot.

01:52:16.320 Wow.

01:52:16.640 Okay, maybe just read the article then.

01:52:18.820 Okay.

01:52:20.440 Yeah.

01:52:21.300 All right.

01:52:22.360 All right.

01:52:23.500 So have you met your neighbors?

01:52:25.260 So I just moved to Dallas.

01:52:26.580 And the first thing that I started doing, let me start by saying it's not as hard as you would think.

01:52:30.840 And you don't have to go out and organize a potluck and become the HOA president.

01:52:34.780 You can just go out and see a cute dog and say hi to the dog and the person at the same time, which is a big step for some people.

01:52:41.860 I joined a Bible study in my neighborhood, and that's been really beneficial.

01:52:44.760 I had a woman come up to me on a bike and say hi, and we talked for a while.

01:52:48.040 It's not as scary as it sounds.

01:52:49.640 But some people aren't going to want to do that.

01:52:51.060 Some people aren't social types.

01:52:52.200 They don't want to go out and meet their neighbors because maybe 90% of your neighbors are freaks.

01:52:55.760 That might be true, but there might be one.

01:52:58.000 I bet everyone has one person in their neighborhood that they would actually really like, and that your life may be a lot better if you could give that person your keys when you go on a vacation.

01:53:07.580 Your life might be a lot better if you could actually trust and know the people around you.

01:53:11.660 It might just be a teeny tiny bit better, and it might be better for them, which makes everything better.

01:53:16.080 So I'm going out and trying to meet my neighbors in the way that I do it, which is something I advise in the article.

01:53:20.220 It's like you don't have to be the potluck person.

01:53:22.000 Like, I'm not the potluck person.

01:53:23.460 If I try to be the potluck person.

01:53:24.940 You sound like the potluck person.

01:53:26.040 I'm not, Glenn.

01:53:26.820 I'm not my husband.

01:53:28.200 My husband's the potluck person.

01:53:29.660 He will stand and talk to neighbors for three hours.

01:53:31.140 I'm like, come in.

01:53:31.860 I want to read my book.

01:53:32.800 I'm actually like that at home.

01:53:34.680 When I get home, I just want to sit at home and read my book.

01:53:36.900 It's a lot to work here sometimes.

01:53:38.460 I just want to read it.

01:53:40.200 I don't know what that means.

01:53:42.160 No, I really, I love that.

01:53:43.560 It's wonderful, but it uses a lot of my brain space.

01:53:46.280 So then I go home and I just want to read my book.

01:53:48.460 But I can do things my way.

01:53:50.660 When I was, where I was living before in Florida, I joined boards.

01:53:54.180 I was on the parks and rec board.

01:53:55.860 I geeked out about that kind of stuff.

01:53:57.340 And some people are like, oh, you're on a parks and rec board.

01:54:00.260 Okay, fine.

01:54:00.800 Well, you don't join the parks and rec board.

01:54:02.220 You host the Halloween party.

01:54:03.560 You do whatever you do.

01:54:04.780 Or you just pet the cute dogs.

01:54:06.660 Right.

01:54:06.840 Maybe that's it.

01:54:07.700 I will tell you that I think the parks and rec, I think any of your local zoning, anything,

01:54:17.080 I've come up against a zoning committee.

01:54:20.280 And I always just thought, oh, zoning committee is just neighbors.

01:54:24.660 No, they're the worst neighbors.

01:54:27.420 They're the ones that want to control everything.

01:54:31.940 No, they are.

01:54:32.560 They are.

01:54:33.100 That's what that's.

01:54:34.280 Do you remember my situation in New Canaan, Connecticut?

01:54:37.660 Oh, yeah.

01:54:38.480 Oh, my gosh.

01:54:39.180 They were insane.

01:54:40.360 They hated you.

01:54:41.920 Insane.

01:54:42.520 They did hate me.

01:54:43.540 Yes.

01:54:43.760 They did hate me.

01:54:44.420 I was trying just to build a simple fence.

01:54:46.760 Just I just need a fence.

01:54:48.620 I'll even build it, you know, in extraordinary ways.

01:54:51.860 So it matches all of everybody else's fences, you know, because they have all these stone

01:54:57.040 fence.

01:54:57.460 Oh, this is from the 1700s.

01:54:59.440 Whatever.

01:55:00.040 They're rocked stacked on each other.

01:55:02.900 Anyway.

01:55:03.780 Yeah, there's tyranny sometimes.

01:55:05.440 Yeah.

01:55:05.820 And they said they actually said to me, I said, look, I really need this.

01:55:09.160 It'll look just like the rest of the houses in the neighborhood.

01:55:11.500 But I need this for security.

01:55:13.880 My children, you know, we've had security issues.

01:55:16.720 And they actually said, you should have thought of that before you moved here.

01:55:20.780 Maybe that's a good reason that you should be on the board then.

01:55:23.060 So is it what you're saying?

01:55:25.280 What you're saying, basically, that you should get to know your neighbors so that you can

01:55:28.440 manipulate the local zoning laws?

01:55:30.780 Yeah, that's it.

01:55:32.020 OK.

01:55:32.360 I hope that's what I think that's what everybody is here.

01:55:34.860 Yeah.

01:55:35.040 I think that's what I was thinking more.

01:55:37.060 See, this is this is why when you're 50, you'll just be like, there's no way to win.

01:55:41.500 Yeah.

01:55:41.820 This whole series is about trying to combat what we hear every day that's coming about

01:55:47.800 the Great Reset.

01:55:48.840 And we talk about localization as the solution to globalization.

01:55:51.540 But most of us aren't involved locally at all.

01:55:53.720 Actually, all we do is tweet about what the federal government does.

01:55:56.020 Yes.

01:55:56.600 That's very true.

01:55:57.320 That's a big, big problem.

01:55:58.680 And part of the reason we aren't involved is because we don't know them, which means

01:56:01.300 we don't care.

01:56:02.340 If we cared, we would know them.

01:56:04.040 And if we know if we knew them, we would care.

01:56:05.980 And I believe that really firmly.

01:56:08.140 So a lot of us just don't live.

01:56:08.780 I don't think it's because we don't care.

01:56:10.560 I mean, I care about my neighbors.

01:56:12.940 But if you don't do anything about it, then that care is irrelevant.

01:56:15.160 In a theoretical sort of way.

01:56:16.880 Everyone in theory loves their neighbors.

01:56:18.660 Right.

01:56:19.040 But when you go, that's why I'm saying I'm trying to build the bridge between who we

01:56:22.560 are and who we say we want to be.

01:56:24.920 And there's a discrepancy.

01:56:25.920 Most of us have a lot of knowledge, but we don't act on it very much.

01:56:29.580 And I'm trying to see if I can level that back out and say, actually, a lot of us don't

01:56:33.580 even need all the knowledge we have if we can't even do anything with it.

01:56:36.700 If it just weighs you down to know all that's coming about the Great Reset, then that's because

01:56:41.180 you're not doing enough.

01:56:42.580 That's not that you should stop listening.

01:56:43.960 It's because maybe you haven't tried enough in your own life to try to balance this all

01:56:48.420 out.

01:56:48.720 Well, it is.

01:56:49.320 It is a very difficult thing.

01:56:51.320 And I highly recommend.

01:56:53.700 I mean, in fact, I mean, I think this is this should be a priority.

01:56:57.020 If you don't know who your neighbors are, if you don't know, you know, who kind of thinks

01:57:04.720 alike, who's willing to help each other when times get bad, if you don't know that it is

01:57:13.040 going to it won't work to your favor and you won't be able to help others as well.

01:57:19.680 And we are going to desperately need each other in our communities and anything you can do to

01:57:26.140 be in the right community, right neighborhood or or start that passion up around people

01:57:33.280 who probably do think like you, but they just aren't doing anything about it.

01:57:37.860 It has to be done at the local level.

01:57:39.980 What's good about this advice is that even if everything doesn't turn to worse, that your

01:57:44.480 life will still be better.

01:57:45.320 This will still be a net positive to know your neighbors and to serve them and to care about

01:57:50.100 your community, even if everything doesn't get worse.

01:57:52.700 That really depends on what neighbors you mean, right?

01:57:55.040 Well, they could be crazy, but then maybe you should.

01:57:57.080 You could live next to Jeffrey Dahmer.

01:57:58.580 Well, I think that 90% of your neighbors, you might find annoying and that's okay because

01:58:01.940 there's 1% and, and I tell this story.

01:58:04.600 I like my neighbors actually.

01:58:05.540 I love my neighbors and they are crazy sometimes.

01:58:08.080 I tell the story about, you know, you always have the neighbor that is like, oh, is your

01:58:11.840 mower broken when they know your mower's not broken and you haven't mowed your grass.

01:58:15.580 There's always that neighbor, right?

01:58:17.180 But that is also the same neighbor that when a hurricane comes is making sure you have a generator.

01:58:21.680 So it's a good thing.

01:58:22.220 How do you know that neighbor?

01:58:23.080 Sometimes, sometimes they're also like, oh, I should have bought a generator.

01:58:25.380 They're the ones that steal your generator.

01:58:26.580 Is your generator not working?

01:58:28.240 I think that people are.

01:58:29.780 No, it's not.

01:58:30.860 Thanks for asking.

01:58:32.960 I have a fundamental belief that most people are good until they prove me wrong.

01:58:37.180 And it takes a lot to prove me wrong.

01:58:38.980 And I fundamentally believe that people are even better when they feel that you care about

01:58:42.880 them.

01:58:43.500 I mean, Carol Roth said on the show, like, tell your neighbors these things.

01:58:46.400 And I wanted to add, but don't open with that.

01:58:48.320 Like, you've never opened your name, you've never talked to your neighbors, don't open

01:58:51.660 with the collapse of the West.

01:58:53.500 Right?

01:58:53.980 That's the last typical excuse of parties.

01:58:55.880 Yeah.

01:58:56.300 If you don't.

01:58:56.700 That's why my wife, when we go to parties, she literally will say, don't make anybody

01:59:00.740 cry.

01:59:01.540 Well, there's a phrase.

01:59:02.280 Honey, it's a party.

01:59:03.060 What else am I going to do?

01:59:04.100 There's a phrase that says, they don't care how much you know until they know how much you

01:59:07.200 care.

01:59:07.820 And that's a really wise statement.

01:59:09.780 Because if you would like to be affecting your community, they need to know that you care about

01:59:13.320 them.

01:59:13.460 If we were in high school, I would never be around her.

01:59:16.100 I would just be like, I would just be like, no, I can't.

01:59:18.400 What?

01:59:19.100 You're too optimistic, too happy, too.

01:59:22.100 But I'm realistic about this.

01:59:23.560 I think this is a realistic solution.

01:59:25.480 No, I agree.

01:59:25.980 Saying hi to your neighbors is not like something that only fairy tale princesses do.

01:59:30.260 We used to all do it.

01:59:31.120 We all talk about how we want the wonder years of America back.

01:59:33.900 Well, we have to bring them back.

01:59:35.280 Yeah.

01:59:35.460 That's our job.

01:59:36.260 Part of that was the picnics in the neighborhood.

01:59:38.040 Part of that was that everybody knew who they were voting for when they voted in their local

01:59:40.900 elections.

01:59:41.340 I will tell you that the the America that I have always wanted to live in, and I think

01:59:48.880 I don't think I'm alone, is the street that my grandparents lived on.

01:59:53.900 It was not fancy.

01:59:55.920 It was it was just a little farming community.

01:59:58.860 And when I say a farm, I mean, I don't know, 10, 12 acres, 20 acres.

02:00:03.660 Nobody had a lot.

02:00:04.800 But it was just it was just a community where every single person knew who the other person

02:00:13.600 was on the street.

02:00:15.120 And if you saw a car going down the street that you didn't recognize, you know, if if you saw

02:00:23.160 that you wouldn't necessarily snoop, but you would be on alert if something was happening

02:00:29.120 and you saw a car go into a neighbor's house and you knew they were not there, you would

02:00:35.180 actually go over and go, hey, can I help you?

02:00:37.700 What's going on?

02:00:39.180 And you they I mean, I will tell you, they they stop my grandfather, my uncle and another

02:00:46.480 neighbor stopped a robber in a neighbor's house.

02:00:50.860 I mean, they just pinned him to the floor and said, call the cops.

02:00:54.480 And the cops got there and the guy was like, please take me, please take me to jail.

02:00:58.940 I mean, it is there is something about the neighborhood when everybody is watching out

02:01:03.940 for each other.

02:01:04.640 Yeah.

02:01:05.160 And it turns out that when you care about things, that makes them more meaningful.

02:01:09.040 And a lot of us wish there was more meaning in this world.

02:01:11.420 Well, that comes from caring about things.

02:01:12.720 And you can care about your street.

02:01:14.100 You can care about your neighbors.

02:01:15.180 And maybe that will make things just a little bit more meaningful.

02:01:17.700 Maybe it won't be the wonder years, but it might be a little better than it is right

02:01:20.580 now.

02:01:20.860 And I think if you're listening now, you know, probably why I hired Michaela and at

02:01:25.580 the same time, why I think I heard this woman, Michaela, thank you so much.

02:01:34.620 You can find her her travels on trying to find the advice that I give and find practical

02:01:40.800 ways to actually do it.

02:01:42.520 You can find that at Glenn Beck dot com.

02:01:44.940 Just hit blog and and look for her articles back in just a second.

02:01:51.320 Thanks, Michaela.

02:01:52.600 Rough Greens.

02:01:53.300 The dogs have weighed in and they all agree.

02:01:56.580 They ask for it by name.

02:01:58.680 I mean, Stu, is your dog asked for Rough Greens?

02:02:03.460 Yes.

02:02:04.160 That's a good 30 minute testimonial every time we bring it out.

02:02:07.660 Loves it.

02:02:08.220 Loves it.

02:02:08.940 Lots of five syllable words in the middle of it.

02:02:10.680 Yeah.

02:02:11.640 And your dog will get so excited if they're older, they'll they'll like look at it and

02:02:16.140 be like, oh, my gosh, they'll start weighing their tail and then they pee on the floor.

02:02:19.020 That's how you know they love it.

02:02:21.400 They'll ask for it.

02:02:22.480 Not by name.

02:02:23.420 Rough Greens.

02:02:24.940 We have a little puppy that we added to the family.

02:02:28.680 The puppy.

02:02:29.500 Yes.

02:02:29.780 Who the happy pee is is the specialty of this particular dog.

02:02:33.380 Yeah.

02:02:33.680 You walk.

02:02:34.300 You're like, hey, how are you?

02:02:35.680 The pee's right on the ground immediately.

02:02:37.460 Yeah.

02:02:37.800 So you have to act really bored when you when you see her initially until she gets outside.

02:02:41.080 Well, every time we come home from a vacation or, you know, for a long time away, even if

02:02:46.480 it's just like six hours, everybody gets out of the car and everybody's like, do not

02:02:50.900 act excited around Uno because he'll get he'll say we'll be like, hey, buddy, and he'll

02:02:57.180 just pee all over the floor.

02:02:58.800 You get him outside.

02:03:00.300 Then show him the love.

02:03:02.100 Anyway, Rough Greens.

02:03:03.140 I don't know why we're talking about this.

02:03:04.880 Should be talking about not the dog food, but the stuff you sprinkle on the dog food that

02:03:09.780 gives them everything they need.

02:03:11.600 Probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, mega oils.

02:03:15.420 These are just some of the things that your dog needs to live a healthier lifestyle.

02:03:18.760 And they're all in Rough Greens.

02:03:37.680 The Glenn Beck Program.

02:03:39.780 I think the most important thing that we've learned today on today's broadcast podcast is

02:03:58.620 that, you know, the president said this guy can't remain in power and it's either because

02:04:05.160 he believes it or he is so unfit to be in office, he doesn't know what he's saying.

02:04:11.360 And that's really what everybody should be asking today on this subject.

02:04:15.560 Does he mean it?

02:04:16.880 Which means he's a war hawk or is he just an imbecile that doesn't really know what he's

02:04:27.180 saying anymore?

02:04:27.900 One of the two gang.

02:04:30.200 Let's figure that out soon.

02:04:33.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

02:04:35.740 Well,

02:04:36.260 he believes it.

02:04:40.060 He believes it.

02:04:43.280 He believes it.

02:04:49.220 He believes it.

02:04:53.300 He believes it.

02:04:54.520 He believes it.

02:04:56.280 You guys in every time.

02:04:56.620 He believes it.

02:04:57.580 He believes it.

02:04:58.200 He believes it.

02:04:58.620 He believes it.

02:04:59.280 He believes it.

02:05:00.600 He believes it.

02:05:01.140 He believes it.

02:05:02.620 He believes it.

02:05:03.560 He believes it.

02:05:04.180 He believes it.
