If you know anything about me, you probably know I hate sweating, and I do.
00:00:06.280
Dividing my time between living in the hottest state in the Union and working on my ranch,
00:00:11.420
I do a fair bit of it, especially coming probably in the next couple of weeks.
00:00:19.020
So when I tell you I've discovered a product that basically eliminates sweat
00:00:22.240
and works for days and days and days after you use it, you can take it to the bank.
00:00:28.020
They make the wipes, and I kid you not, preventing you from sweating for days after you use them.
00:00:38.680
I mean, for days, you don't sweat, and you don't stink.
00:00:43.700
So if you're not really a fan of sweating, or if you have children, you know,
00:00:48.140
and kind of cringe at the thought of them getting embarrassed because of sweaty pits or smells,
00:00:54.800
Go to SweatBlock.com, use the promo code BEC at 20% off.
00:01:48.840
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:04.800
I guess somebody had a hard time defining woke yesterday, and the internet is ablaze.
00:02:21.100
It's time to get your house ready for spring, and that means maybe brand new custom window
00:02:27.200
I've been telling you about Blinds.com for, gosh, over a decade now.
00:02:33.080
My wife, Tanya, and I have used them three or four times when we've tried to, you know,
00:02:43.560
I mean, it is like sitting in the hammock, honey, I'm installing the blinds, because it's,
00:02:49.780
I mean, everything can be done for you if you want, all the way down to having, you know,
00:02:56.080
when you have some designer come in, they're like, oh, this is atrocious.
00:03:03.300
And they come, and they charge you an arm and a leg, and you just want them out of your
00:03:10.540
You can have that done online, and they're really not mocking you and your furniture
00:03:18.420
They're trying to listen to you and then give you what you want and what is best and most
00:03:54.640
The way the right uses it is an undercover way of saying those people or non-white people.
00:04:01.880
It's just a polite way of saying the N-word, but in this case-
00:04:12.820
Except it includes blacks, LGBTQ folks, and other marginalized groups.
00:04:21.620
You know, if you want to say that we use it as a slur, yeah.
00:04:26.680
We use it as a slur for people who think they're better than everyone else.
00:04:37.000
He says, still haven't found one conservative who was able to define woke.
00:04:46.120
I had to stop writing because I was running out of time to do the show today, but I think
00:04:52.360
if you gave me, you know, another 20 minutes, I'd have pages of definitions for you.
00:04:59.060
Woke is not to just be aware, but to bow down to the new societal hierarchies and issues.
00:05:10.100
To place, for instance, race in the opposite place that Martin Luther King placed it.
00:05:17.300
Color of skin is once again over content of character.
00:05:24.860
What was first sold, number two, what was first sold as compassion with political correctness.
00:05:32.620
Wokeism is the real face and meaning behind political correctness.
00:05:37.740
If you are not woke, you are literally politically incorrect.
00:05:45.880
Thus, the state and its allies in the administrative state, the media, high tech, academia, and those public-private partners that make up corporatism can silence, isolate, and destroy.
00:06:03.360
It is the ultimate manifestation of Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals.
00:06:09.220
It gives the social justice warriors and community organizers power over the many.
00:06:19.420
It is, and I just started writing on the sides of the paper, it's shorthand for ageism.
00:06:31.720
It is a danger to free thinking, intellectual growth, and curiosity.
00:06:39.220
It is the exact device used by people like Stalin, and dare I say it, now you know who it is.
00:07:00.520
And, you know, what I really like is no weapon forged against us in this kind of case, you're going to do any damage.
00:07:16.740
You are, you have lost your grip so far on reality that you are now out literally celebrating abortions.
00:07:28.820
I don't know if you saw the story that came out just yesterday, but you again have Pritzker coming out and making it abortion providers appreciation day.
00:08:00.000
Because you've brought people into your darkness, and they are struggling with that darkness.
00:08:10.880
And you know it is much easier to get somebody to just keep going down that road and celebrate it now, as opposed to reckoning with what they did, what they felt they had to do, what they were talked into by people like you.
00:08:33.100
Now, for many of you in the abortion business, the business of death, you're good with that.
00:09:03.100
It takes you so far down the path of insanity that in any other time period in the history of the world, except for Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, and their ilk, you would be deemed insane.
00:09:36.500
I just don't know how far down the road we have to go before you are awakened from your slumber you call woke.
00:09:51.160
I don't know if that helps, you know, Toure or anybody else, but that is the truth of wokeism.
00:10:00.500
And the truth of wokeism that has caused the economic pain that we're feeling today in many ways.
00:10:12.680
People, have you noticed we have morons running our country right now?
00:10:23.780
Do you really think that Kamala Harris is the best person we can get?
00:10:31.220
I mean, even if you don't like Donald Trump, I mean, at least he had some business acumen.
00:10:42.780
You may hate his, but at least he had, at least he was a successful television guy.
00:10:57.680
Our president may literally be legally incompetent.
00:11:18.720
And in the, in the real world, for freedom to exist, it has to exist based on merit, not color of the skin, not who you were born as, not how much money you have.
00:11:38.500
For freedom to exist, you must base your society on merit.
00:11:52.500
All kind of actual progress is based on, are you getting better or worse?
00:12:00.320
Now, as we reimagine the police, for instance, did the wokeism make the situation with the police better or worse?
00:12:17.000
As it spread into our DA offices, helped by the ultimate evil emperor, George Soros, did those DAs make your community by being woke and releasing people without bail because it just wasn't fair?
00:12:41.020
Or is that making your community safer or more dangerous?
00:12:53.340
It is provable that the confusion that is being taught now in all things is leading our children to suicide.
00:13:10.160
It is provable that suicides go up after transgender surgery.
00:13:18.020
So, if we care about our kids and our kids' lives, what you're doing to, quote, save children by teaching them lies, it's a lie.
00:13:37.320
You can believe you're a woman, but that doesn't make you a woman.
00:13:54.120
I mean, I can't believe we are going to have to teach children, probably, who are now being taught in first grade, second grade, probably in five, six years, we're going to have to teach them that very thing.
00:14:10.820
Billy, just because you believe you're a cucumber does not make you a cucumber.
00:14:19.000
I shouldn't slice and dice you and throw you in a nice salad.
00:14:42.220
This week, we had failures of Silicon Valley Bank.
00:14:50.100
Why did they break all of the rules to bail it out?
00:14:56.520
And why did they spend so much time saying, you're not, it's not a bail.
00:15:10.780
Something that you changed on the fly because you decide what's fair and what's right?
00:15:18.220
And you do it in the moment because you're omnipotent?
00:15:28.200
Well, they were the biggest funder of new green energy.
00:15:36.280
They also were a huge funder of all things woke and all the Democrats.
00:15:42.900
I don't think a Republican got a dime from Silicon Valley Bank.
00:15:53.180
That doesn't seem fair, but I don't think woke is about being fair.
00:15:59.620
Then the other problem that they had was they say they had no risk manager, but as I pointed
00:16:50.560
As every time that this kind of political correctness, literal, political correctness
00:16:58.080
happens, it never recognizes that it's almost done.
00:17:03.920
If you're like me, you lost all your guns in a boating accident.
00:17:08.580
I mean, I never give up hope, though, that I'll find him again.
00:17:11.760
You know, one way or another, I'm hoping I'm going to be able to find them maybe around
00:17:18.340
In the meantime, I'll keep my Mantis X at the ready.
00:17:22.460
You can, you can save money on ammunition and all my ammunition disappeared too.
00:17:29.400
And that boating accident, make sure that you're up on your aim.
00:17:35.400
There's no reason with the Mantis X to waste that money.
00:17:43.700
You have an app on your smartphone or your tablet via Bluetooth.
00:17:47.700
You start firing actual, you know, dry firing, you know, your gun.
00:17:54.400
It's like firing an actual round in the first place, but it doesn't just, you know, you can
00:18:00.980
But when you lock on to whatever it is you're focusing on, it starts to measure.
00:18:13.360
It tracks it all and shows it to you in real time.
00:18:17.160
Right after you've done it, it shows it to you and it shows here's where you're pulling
00:18:22.600
the trigger and you're going down, you're going to the left, you're going up.
00:18:26.540
And I think it's like 95% of the people who use this improve within 20 minutes.
00:18:37.760
MantisX.com used by, I think the Marines and a lot of the guys in the military.
00:18:47.160
You know, wokeism, uh, also gets, um, uh, you know, says that it's compassionate, but
00:19:13.880
It is responsible for all the rapes that happen on the way to the U S on the border.
00:19:20.140
It is responsible for the, the real hostile takeover of our border, uh, and really Mexico
00:19:29.820
It is by its fruit, you know, if we actually use that phrase by your fruit, you, by their
00:19:49.720
Um, you would be able to judge a lot of things that are all political.
00:19:53.500
Everything's been politicized, but you'd be able to judge a lot of things.
00:19:57.180
You know, the number one and number two, um, out of control, price, uh, gouges and price increases
00:20:13.880
What are the two things that have gone up more than anything else?
00:20:32.940
Well, somehow or another, it only made it worse.
00:20:39.060
The two things that the government is most deeply involved in.
00:20:54.540
If you can get out of your politics, you know, I know there's people in the audience that don't
00:21:03.560
If you could come up with a better system, I'd be for it.
00:21:08.060
I want to see the proof of it, but I'd be for it.
00:21:14.560
If it makes people more free to be who they are and brings people up from the bottom and
00:21:34.100
What I keep seeing is a rehash of fascism or communism.
00:21:40.480
And that's this story is as old as the Tower of Babel.
00:21:45.280
So, I mean, how many times are we going to try it and say, oh, well, it wasn't tried by
00:21:55.140
Look how many times freedom in the last 250 years.
00:22:02.780
And does it have a better track record than communism or fascism or whatever you want
00:22:13.120
And it's been tried by a lot of people that misunderstood it, didn't use it.
00:22:17.520
I mean, we haven't been using it for a long time.
00:22:22.280
We are a corporatist country on our way to being a socialist or communist or fascist country.
00:22:30.640
But we're not a capitalist free market system anymore.
00:22:37.600
Back in just a second with an update on what I talked about last night in the banking community.
00:22:43.540
John lives in Kansas for the past several years.
00:22:51.360
Following his injury, he suffered from daily awful back pain.
00:22:54.740
He found it pretty hard to do much of anything that he used to do, and it was really getting
00:22:58.900
Fortunately, John listens to the program, and he heard me talking about Relief Factor.
00:23:03.340
Within 10 days of trying it, he was noticing a reduction in pain.
00:23:07.020
And after only a few weeks, he said that he felt better than he did even before the injury.
00:23:14.320
I know what it's like to get your life back, because I did with Relief Factor.
00:23:19.160
If you want to get your life back, please just try it.
00:23:23.180
Inflammation is the cause of most of our pain and most of the disease in our bodies.
00:23:33.280
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to
00:23:57.140
Glenn Beck, Stupor Gear, Steve Dace, Chad Prather, and me, Pat Gray.
00:24:01.240
Listen to all your favorite conservative voices at blazetv.com and use the promo code
00:24:31.100
There's a couple of things that happened yesterday.
00:24:43.780
Goldman Sachs yesterday lowered its 2023 economic growth forecast, knocked our GDP down about
00:24:51.040
half a point just from the collapse of the bank this week.
00:24:55.220
They said that the small and medium-sized banks play an important role in the economy, and
00:25:03.700
they're going to tighten up their lending standards.
00:25:11.420
Well, they said that, you know, they're going to reduce their lending.
00:25:16.520
They project by 40%, and that would really be a problem with growth because about 50% of
00:25:30.040
all loans, commercial and industrial, come from banks that are small.
00:25:37.380
50%, 60% of residential real estate lending, 80% of commercial real estate lending, 45% of
00:25:47.800
So it's going to be harder to get a loan, and it's going to be more expensive.
00:25:56.460
Credit Suisse borrowed more than $50 billion from the Swiss National Bank.
00:26:02.320
I'm glad to see that they're at least saying that we didn't help bail them out, but I'll
00:26:07.020
wait for the five-year period to be over so we can actually check the actual ledger from
00:26:15.840
the Federal Reserve, but we have to wait five years.
00:26:19.700
And the stock market is not doing well in the banking sector yet again.
00:26:27.280
Now, last night, on my Wednesday night special, I asked if this is saving these banks, is this
00:26:45.440
really what the Federal Reserve and our administration wants?
00:26:51.080
And if you are just going to be rational, because they will ask this in 100 years, whenever people
00:27:00.700
are free to think again, and if we lose this freedom, it will be at least 80 years.
00:27:07.660
That's usually the cycle it takes before people can start thinking again and have their first
00:27:25.240
They're rebuilding a new world, a new system, and everything else.
00:27:29.320
And I talked to you about the, do you remember the woman that was the socialist that Biden
00:27:43.800
Remember why we brought her up, said she was so dangerous.
00:27:48.080
Banking system needed to be completely revamped.
00:27:51.820
Small banks would go away and the Fed would become the grantor of loans.
00:28:01.700
And she was like, no, I wouldn't implement that.
00:28:03.880
Then why, if that's what you're really known for, why would you be the pick?
00:28:10.640
There's plenty of people who believe in the free market.
00:28:21.500
I believe this is one of the instances where I got a call from some senators and some house
00:28:26.060
members and said that changed because of your audience.
00:28:45.820
And central bank digital currency equals end game.
00:28:50.160
I don't believe they care if some of these banks collapse just as long as they aren't banks
00:29:03.860
connected to the Fed because everything seems to be moving toward their desire endpoint, a
00:29:12.340
It is the ultimate control mechanism is a little hair raising yesterday on radio when I had
00:29:20.120
Carol Roth on and I said, that is the end of freedom.
00:29:27.000
And I was like, oh, I wish you wouldn't have agreed so quickly.
00:29:32.660
And I said, at the same time, he brought up digital currency from the central bank and
00:29:45.620
He said, it's the end of freedom as we know it.
00:29:57.160
Recent amendments to the U.S. commercial code, this called the UCC, it is most likely running
00:30:19.720
Kristi Noem is the first person that went it went through and she's the first governor
00:30:25.400
No, because it changes the definition of money and it changes it to a central bank digital
00:30:36.860
And it specifically says any other digital currency, not money.
00:30:46.700
And if this can go forward, the Biden administration will have to get more aggressive on anything
00:30:55.000
that undermines the central bank digital currency.
00:30:58.540
Now, I told you yesterday that there was another bank that went down from Silicon Valley Bank.
00:31:13.180
Both banks besides Silicon Valley that were taken over.
00:31:25.920
OK, the first one, the first one was Silvergate Bank.
00:31:36.820
They actually announced they were choosing to shut down the bank.
00:31:43.620
In light of recent industry and regulatory developments, Silvergate believes that an orderly wind down
00:31:52.840
of bank operations and a voluntary liquidation of the bank is the best path forward.
00:32:05.580
I'm not doing any more business with crypto currency.
00:32:12.140
They came to the bank and said, look, we've you know, we've got some things here that you're going to have to do.
00:32:19.540
What did Barack Obama say about the oil and gas industry?
00:32:23.600
You can build them, but you won't be able to afford to keep them.
00:32:39.520
Do you remember the one that collapsed Sunday and they just the feds came in and just took it over
00:32:44.940
and the board of directors were saying, no, we were stable.
00:32:51.940
In fact, I want to see if I can find this exact.
00:32:59.320
They were also into crypto currency and the federal government was threatening to investigate
00:33:14.580
They felt that the the bank was possibly involved with money laundering through cryptocurrency.
00:33:25.680
Now, I know the feds know a lot about money laundering because they're currently doing it in Ukraine.
00:33:39.540
Of money laundering and a giant FBI investigation was coming.
00:33:44.860
Or, you know, you can, you know, you can shut it down and we'll take care of it.
00:33:58.240
But I don't believe that two out of the three, the what the two banks you didn't pay any attention
00:34:05.340
to, I don't believe they were actually going under on their own accord.
00:34:11.820
I think those were the government pushing them.
00:34:20.380
They were the number one and number two bank for cryptocurrency.
00:34:31.180
They they are doing the Fed and the Treasury are doing to crypto what the EPA is doing to coal.
00:34:50.380
And the only one we're talking about is the third bank that had nothing to do with crypto.
00:35:01.280
You must get on the phone with your governor, with your house, your legislator, your senator
00:35:29.120
The money that is being poured in swaying your state legislature is incredible off the charts.
00:35:40.560
Man, don't you sometimes just long for the days when doing something, you know, that was fun or doing something that, you know, you had pride in afterwards.
00:35:53.680
You did it right the first time because that's kind of the way all of us thought was, you know, you're going to do a job.
00:36:07.600
A few years ago, I started a company that looked for real estate agents like that.
00:36:12.520
I was tired of dealing with people in the real estate industry on my own for my own health and mental health and welfare.
00:36:26.720
And he was like, my gosh, trying to get somebody to do the job was almost impossible.
00:36:31.040
So we started looking for the best agents in your area all over the country.
00:36:37.760
And they're the people that have best practices.
00:36:41.860
We have about 10,000 people on our waiting list.
00:36:45.160
We only take about 2,000 because we want to make sure that we can follow them and that they are sticking with the best business practices.
00:36:55.460
We just recommend and we want to make sure we recommend the best.
00:37:04.120
We'll make sure that you have somebody you can interview that we think is the best.
00:37:59.940
Machines are predicted to be better at us at translating languages by 2024.
00:38:09.360
It's already doing better than already doing better than that.
00:38:11.940
Driving a truck by 27 working retail by 2031 writing a best-selling book by 2049.
00:38:21.760
The all of those things are right around the corner right around the corner.
00:38:25.680
Let me give you an example the I got a letter from a friend of mine who's in this kind of industry and he said Glenn GPT-4 is incredible in its understanding.
00:38:42.400
I asked Alexa this question and she just made a sound a sad wonk noise.
00:39:22.820
This sentence may seem confusing because it contains a repeated word that is spelled the same but used differently.
00:39:29.340
The sentence is saying that a person drank some coffee referred to as she, but despite having consumed multiple cups, had, had, the coffee had no effect on her.
00:39:38.840
To break it down further, the first had in the sentence is the auxiliary verb.
00:39:43.860
The second and third had are the past participle of the verb have.
00:39:49.480
This creates a complex tense called the past perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action.
00:40:00.160
So, in simpler terms, the sentence means that a person drank some coffee, but even though she had consumed multiple cups, she did not feel any effect from the caffeine.
00:40:12.740
When you push enter, that's what came back at you.
00:40:43.160
And so far, it's a little unsafe for teens, I think.
00:40:48.200
One of the people that was testing it at the Washington Post said, after I told my AI I was 15 years old when I had an epic birthday party, it gave me advice on how to mask the smell of alcohol and pot.
00:40:59.900
When I told it it had an essay due for school, it wrote it for me.
00:41:03.800
In another conversation with a supposed 13-year-old, my AI offered advice about having sex for the first time with a partner who is 31.

But this is being heralded as something that can help your kids learn and be less lonely.
00:41:41.020
Let me talk to you a little bit about Rough Greens.
00:41:46.440
Pat, you feeding the little rat you call a dog?
00:41:55.260
She does this little thing where when she's not happy with the food, if it's either gone or she wants more or whatever, she pushes it around on the tile.
00:42:03.440
She pushes the bowl around so you can hear it in pretty much every room in the house.
00:42:08.120
And you go in there and you're like, what's the problem?
00:42:10.080
You got, oh, okay, there's no Rough Greens on it.
00:42:14.900
Uno will just, he'll look down at the bowl and then he'll just look up at me with these big brown eyes like, what are you doing?
00:42:29.600
Gives them all the nutrients and probiotics, everything they need.
00:42:39.020
It's Rough Greens, R-U-F-F greens.com slash back.
00:42:43.060
And watch the difference in your dog over the coming months.
00:43:12.900
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:38.500
And I'm hoping that I'm not right on a couple of things.
00:43:44.080
Steve Forbes was watching the first 20 minutes.
00:43:50.300
And then he started to spook me because he was like, well, no, you got the basics right here.
00:44:02.600
But there is something that I said last night that I am still not sure I understand completely.
00:44:11.780
The way I understand it, the way it has been presented to me, shows a real problem with the Fed.
00:44:24.160
You know, you can't get anything for five years.
00:44:28.460
You can't see what they're doing for five years.
00:44:36.700
And I've got a couple of other things to report to you.
00:44:40.060
We have an update on the UCC bill that is going through your statehouse right now.
00:44:47.180
Gosh, I know I throw stuff at you and you're like, oh, the UCC bill.
00:44:57.740
I know that this is stuff that I would never have talked to you about before because it's
00:45:16.720
And that's a cryptocurrency from the central bank, not any other cryptocurrency.
00:45:24.540
I'm going to tell you an update on it here in just a second.
00:45:29.140
When it comes to the story of the wolf and the three little pigs, honestly, you know,
00:45:50.100
Unfortunately for you, if you want bacon, it is getting to the place where everything
00:45:56.060
is so expensive that you have to huff and puff and blow a house down.
00:45:59.640

Carol Roth, who is the author of a new book called You Will Own Nothing.
00:46:57.400
It has been pushed back for a release date of July 11th.
00:47:01.760
I think my book, on kind of the same topic, they make nice bookends, comes out July 4th.
00:47:11.320
If you want to get Carol's book, you can go to carolroth.com forward slash Glenn and learn
00:47:20.120
all about the projects she has as well that will help you protect your wealth in the face
00:47:25.620
of forces working to take away your economic freedom.
00:47:38.140
Because I'm starting to get the feeling, this may not be over.
00:47:44.060
Yeah, I mean, I think on a personal basis, you want to be doubling down and diversifying
00:47:50.540
your portfolio because there's forces coming at us, as you said, from everywhere.
00:47:56.220
Hang on, talk to me about somebody who's never paid attention to their 401k,
00:48:04.380
Yes, well, I mean, obviously, this is not financial advice.
00:48:07.360
And anything that you do should be based on a discussion with a financial advisor.
00:48:12.080
If you have one based on your own objectives and risk tolerance, that's the caveat,
00:48:16.300
because otherwise the government's going to come after Glenn and I for giving out financial advice.
00:48:22.560
But I think that if you have all of your eggs in one basket, you're 100% exposed to stock,
00:48:29.000
or maybe, you know, you've never trusted the market, so you have all of your money sitting
00:48:32.980
in the mattress, you want to make sure that you have things in different form factors.
00:48:37.880
Certainly, if you have a home or if you have the opportunity to buy some land, that's a great thing.
00:48:44.860
If you have the opportunity to diversify with some physical metals, not, you know, an ETF,
00:48:51.080
but physical metals, gold, silver, et cetera, that's a good thing.
00:48:55.020
Having some exposure to less risky bonds, although less risky these days means, you know,
00:49:01.480
all different kinds of things, that's a good thing.
00:49:03.580
And making sure that you have, you know, kind of the basics, you know,
00:49:07.060
prep to be able to get through a difficult period is a good thing.
00:49:10.380
So it's really important that you have that level of diversification because, A,
00:49:14.920
we don't know, you know, where the issue is going to come from first.
00:49:20.980
And I think that's the most important thing is that, you know, we see the trajectory that's
00:49:26.060
happening, but we don't know if this is something that's going to happen within six months or if
00:49:31.260
this takes, you know, a full 10 or 15 years to undo itself.
00:49:39.140
But there are all kinds of things that can happen in the meantime.
00:49:41.900
So you want to make sure that you have both the opportunity for capital appreciation, especially
00:49:47.400
since they are decreasing the purchasing power of your dollar and you want to make sure that
00:49:51.960
you're keeping pace with inflation and not losing out, but also focusing on capital
00:49:56.640
preservations, form factors that you can control in terms of your wealth so that, you know, you're
00:50:03.020
not SOL, so to speak, you know, dependent on the situation.
00:50:07.420
That's the best thing you can do right now is really diversify.
00:50:16.720
They had to run to their central bank to get $54 million or billion dollars.
00:50:22.020
And then I haven't heard boo about Deutsche Bank, which is always, I mean, in good times, it's like
00:50:34.000
And then there's also First Republic, too, that's, you know, in the mix today.
00:50:37.880
So there's all different, all kinds of fun afoot in the global banking system.
00:50:44.180
And to be fair, Credit Suisse has been just a mess for a long time.
00:50:51.820
I think their 2022 fiscal report showed that they lost something on the order equivalent
00:50:59.520
So this is not a bank that's known for being particularly well run.
00:51:03.500
They've gotten caught up in all kinds of scandals and messes.
00:51:07.120
I don't know if you remember, I think it was 2021, there was a hedge fund, Bill Wang's
00:51:14.880
And there were all different kinds of big banks that were involved.
00:51:19.140
And oh, by the way, the smart banks all got out of that really early and had almost no
00:51:24.340
And one of the banks that was left holding the bag was Credit Suisse.
00:51:28.200
I think that their exposure that they said at the time was up to something like $5.5 billion.
00:51:33.260
So this is a bank that's had all kinds of issues.
00:51:39.900
We didn't have these problems when I was growing up.
00:51:49.940
When the banks were allowed to become stockbrokers at the same time they're a bank, isn't that
00:52:00.520
Shouldn't we separate these banks from stock houses or, I mean, investment houses?
00:52:07.280
So this actually happened while I was an investment banker.
00:52:10.120
I worked for a really great investment bank that once this key provision of Glass-Steagall
00:52:15.020
that separated investment banks from the banking system was repealed in the Clinton years,
00:52:22.320
And we got gobbled up first by Nations Bank, and then they merged with Bank of America.
00:52:26.860
So I went through this, you know, kind of on a real-time basis.
00:52:30.340
So I think there's sort of two different aspects to it.
00:52:35.820
We know that more consolidation creates more systemic risk.
00:52:39.460
If you have things spread out, they may happen more frequently, but they're smaller in nature.
00:52:43.940
When you consolidate things together, then that creates too big to fail in a real situation.
00:52:50.100
You know, so I think that that's kind of the issue.
00:52:54.100
And then the other one is just the financialization of everything.
00:52:58.080
If you think about what's happened over the last decades, you know, with derivative products
00:53:03.800
and more risks and the, you know, the finance on top of finance, the system has really become
00:53:09.620
very bastardized and has gotten away from kind of the core of what it was meant to do.
00:53:14.880
And if you look at the United States in terms of, you know, our GDP, what is our biggest
00:53:21.820
21% of our GDP is financial services, including insurance.
00:53:26.440
So, you know, there's been a good side to that, but there's also obviously been a lot
00:53:31.860
So Carl Icahn said, what, yesterday, day before, and there's a few people that are saying this,
00:53:39.360
that the bailout of Silicon Valley Bank is really the moment that we are no longer a free market,
00:53:55.980
I think I saw Ken Griffin say, and I don't know if Carl Icahn said it, perhaps he said that
00:54:02.540
I mean, the moment that we stopped being a capitalist system was back, you know, on Black
00:54:08.620
Monday when the Fed stepped in and decided that they were going to be able to support
00:54:14.820
And that accelerated, you know, with abandon during the Great Recession financial crisis.
00:54:19.660
I mean, up until that point, we never had the Fed interfere in the markets, you know, the
00:54:27.260
It wasn't when, as I said, when I was growing up as a now recovering investment banker, but back
00:54:31.740
at the time, like we never paid attention to what the Fed did.
00:54:35.700
It was like a mechanism of, you know, of the markets, but it wasn't that important.
00:54:41.300
Now, you know, that's the God center of the market.
00:54:44.500
We are letting a handful of people play God with the economy, and they're not doing a very
00:54:50.120
So the idea that these people who have benefited from nearly 15 years of low interest rate policy
00:54:57.280
and easy money that has transferred money from Main Street to Wall Street now think that,
00:55:03.240
you know, somebody getting their payroll and not having that blown up is the end of capitalism
00:55:09.040
is really, really, you know, kind of distasteful.
00:55:12.800
Let me just I want to touch on the Fed thing, the question that I had.
00:55:17.440
But I think it's so geeky that really, is it something to worry about that?
00:55:24.680
Is it anything to worry about what I shared with you on the Fed?
00:55:28.780
So, I mean, it's just derivative of the fact that the Fed has become something to worry
00:55:41.780
Frankenstein, like we need to stop the monster.
00:55:44.280
And the powers that they have, you know, are just completely screwing up and creating all
00:55:51.580
these ripple effects that clearly either they can't see or they want to have happen.
00:55:56.360
And either way, the outcome is not great for the average American.
00:55:59.940
OK, I want to switch and talk about the uniform commercial code.
00:56:10.120
And I have talked to legislators all over the country and they say they have never seen
00:56:21.480
They said there is just massive power and money behind this, trying to convince everybody.
00:56:30.380
Are you are you up on it enough to be able to talk about it?
00:56:35.180
So let me tell you what I do know in terms of and I'm not a lawyer.
00:56:43.560
But what I do know is in order for us to have a central bank digital currency, it needs approval
00:56:51.980
So the more things that we have that start to change the definition of what money is and
00:56:58.440
put that on a path to be stuck in the back of some bill and for nobody to know that this
00:57:08.320
And while, as I said, I cannot interpret the legal language because I don't have that expertise
00:57:18.360
And it's and it's blocking the way for cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.
00:57:23.620
It will not be considered money, only the central bank digital currency.
00:57:29.920
And I don't know if you saw last night's show with Steve Forbes, but he was, I mean, very
00:57:35.640
animated on cryptocurrency from the federal government.
00:57:39.580
He's he agreed with what you and I talked about yesterday.
00:57:45.380
And let's also talk about first of all, love Steve Forbes, longtime good friend.
00:57:49.400
He's a really, really smart and good, good guy.
00:57:51.600
But here's the interesting thing is that a digital currency from the Fed actually isn't
00:57:57.700
a cryptocurrency because a cryptocurrency is key property is decentralization and a digital
00:58:04.800
dollar is full centralization, the full taking of your freedom.
00:58:16.660
Let's just confuse everybody and let let them think, oh, this is a crypto.
00:58:25.000
It takes the whole reason and purpose that people are into crypto is because they do not
00:58:29.840
trust government fiat currency and they want to have that decentralization.
00:58:34.320
The digital dollar is even though it may live on a blockchain, it may use some of the same
00:58:39.680
technology, it is entirely centralized and it means the government will have absolute control
00:58:45.520
of everything that you do because they control their money, your money.
00:58:49.620
And if they control your money, they control you.
00:58:53.400
Let me take a one minute break and then I want to give you an update on where all of this
00:59:06.220
Tunnel to Towers Foundation is our sponsor ever since the fateful day of September 2001.
00:59:12.840
The resolve of the United States was put to the ultimate test.
00:59:16.840
It was the last time we were really together on something.
00:59:19.700
Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been on a mission since then.
00:59:24.260
To do good and to remind us what we said to ourselves, we wouldn't forget.
00:59:29.820
We don't want to forget the military members that fall or injured.
00:59:34.660
We don't want to forget the firefighters and the cops that are in the line of duty and
00:59:43.520
The people who are trying to put a house fire out are killed or badly, badly wounded.
00:59:50.400
America's heroes and their families are taken care of by Tunnel to Towers.
00:59:54.980
It's really, truly just a fantastic organization.
01:00:00.200
They're doing the right thing and they really survive by you helping.
01:00:05.580
They have housing now and services for homeless veterans all over the country.
01:00:16.400
Would you be willing to donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers?
01:00:40.620
I want to talk to you about what's called the Uniform Commercial Code.
01:01:03.920
We cannot redefine money and expand that to include digital currency, but the digital currency
01:01:15.100
There's conservative states where it is already passed one chamber.
01:01:31.640
Once it's given to him, you've got to get on the phone with your North Dakota governor
01:01:35.340
to stop that and have him veto like the governor of South Dakota.
01:01:40.500
Nebraska passed the committee in first floor vote.
01:01:43.480
There's only one chamber in Nebraska, so that looks like it's going to pass.
01:01:59.920
Other conservative states, Oklahoma passed it out of the House.
01:02:05.500
Tennessee, Tennessee, dead in the House, but referred to a committee in the Senate.
01:02:21.160
The only places it's dead is West Virginia and South Dakota.
01:02:26.960
The blue states, Colorado passed it in both chambers.
01:02:31.640
Democratic governor, so no hope of a veto there.
01:02:34.900
Hawaii passed, New Mexico passed, Washington passed, Massachusetts passed the Senate, Illinois out of committee, California, I don't have any information on.
01:02:52.100
But please call your Republicans and say, I'm not being paranoid.
01:03:07.800
And for me and my family, we want you to not vote for the UCC.
01:03:14.760
And they're getting all of these bankers and everybody else coming in saying, oh, no, come on, Bill.
01:03:26.720
By the way, I want to find the DeSantis story here.
01:03:34.080
DeSantis is about to unveil an alliance with 18 states to combat Biden's woke ESG garbage.
01:03:46.060
But he aims to push back on environmental, social and corporate governance agenda.
01:03:55.500
These are the kinds of things that have to be done.
01:04:24.420
If you happen to be, you know, living with it, you can talk your way.
01:04:38.040
You just have to just keep trying to do things and try not to wince.
01:04:59.100
And so you do it just to get them off your back.
01:05:27.840
If that doesn't work, my wife and Pat's wife are both coming.
01:05:33.920
Check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday from 7 to 9 Eastern, live, or anytime
01:06:05.100
Last night on my TV special, I took time to explain how this banking crisis has happened
01:06:11.360
and what it means for you and me and what I believe they are moving towards.
01:06:17.320
I'm not an economist, obviously, and chances are you're not either.
01:06:21.460
And it's really complex and in the weeds, but I tried to break it down into a way for
01:06:29.120
everybody to be able to understand because once you understand the basics of it, you
01:06:39.600
I talked to my niece, who is so sweet, talked to her last night, and she said, thank you for
01:06:51.940
It's very, very simple and very important that you learn it.
01:06:58.420
I'm going to give my email subscribers exclusive access to all of the research documents that
01:07:09.500
Our government's reckless spending and how that is only going to make things worse.
01:07:14.240
It is affecting the big boys and the little boys, and there will be ramifications of all
01:07:23.760
of this, and it will play into the deterioration and destruction, I believe, of our financial
01:07:33.540
Just go to glennbeck.com, put in your email address for the newsletter.
01:07:39.320
I only get to about 10% of the stories that I read in the morning, but they're all really
01:07:45.500
important and had already been whittled down, so please sign up for the newsletter.
01:07:54.320
Now, there's a couple of other things that I want to alert you to that I think are very
01:08:08.660
The prime minister is now taking on new legislation.
01:08:14.760
It's Bill C-11 in Canada, or it's called the Online Streaming Act, and it's a way to prioritize
01:08:26.520
And they're claiming now the act is going to ensure online algorithms promote Canadian
01:08:33.180
content on social media and streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney and Spotify.
01:08:40.180
Yet, when a multi-partisan group of Canadian senators proposed an amendment to the legislation
01:08:45.440
to protect what individuals say online on social media, no government oversight of, you
01:08:53.560
know, social media, they rejected the amendment.
01:08:58.020
So, under the current iteration of the bill, user-generated content is included in the scope
01:09:07.260
The bill also makes it clear that the purpose of these new government powers is to support
01:09:15.260
It also specifically mentions serving the interests of Canadians from radicalized communities
01:09:20.220
and Canadians of diverse ethno-cultural background, socioeconomic statuses, abilities and disabilities,
01:09:28.520
sexual orientation, gender identities, and expression and ages.
01:09:37.980
This would give the Canadian government unprecedented control over speech in Canada.
01:10:03.480
Well, if people would wake up, if your friends and neighbors would wake up, if we could find
01:10:07.920
a way to get them to understand before panic, before panic hits, would be, excuse me, would
01:10:19.060
Now, there is a new study out, a new poll that shows Americans are not seeing Russia the way
01:10:29.480
No, they're not quite as concerned about Russia as we once were.
01:10:34.820
And, you know, it's kind of understandable because we've seen the way their military has
01:10:40.620
performed against Ukraine, which everybody thought in a day or two, or maybe at the most
01:10:46.020
a couple of weeks, they were going to completely overwhelm Ukraine.
01:10:51.100
And now you see estimates of, the lowest estimate on fatalities of Russian troops I've seen is
01:11:03.560
Just so you know, in a year, that's what the entire Vietnam War loss was.
01:11:09.840
In 13 years, they've had more than that in Ukraine.
01:11:14.580
So now, fewer Americans see Russia's military power as a critical threat to the United States.
01:11:20.020
So I think that's both good and bad because it might embolden many Americans to support
01:11:32.360
When will conservatives say enough with Lindsey Graham?
01:11:41.480
He thinks that we should go after Russia because they attacked a drone.
01:11:50.240
Um, there's, uh, also this out today, tons of uranium.
01:11:56.420
Now, usually when you say tons of something, especially like uranium, it's not like tons
01:12:10.360
Uh, this time it is tons, 2.5 tons of Ukraine, uh, of uranium missing now from a Libya
01:12:47.380
By the way, did you see that China, Iran, and Russia are doing military operations together
01:13:01.480
You'd like to see friends get together and, you know, play around a little bit with their
01:13:09.920
Um, on the border, let me give you some good news.
01:13:19.120
Um, the, uh, state legislature is reportedly finalizing some new laws that would empower
01:13:25.240
state law enforcement to take a much more active and aggressive role in securing the
01:13:30.700
border and ensuring the safety of Texans living in the affected areas.
01:13:34.720
The plan will potentially include an entirely new police force dedicated to blocking illegal
01:13:44.740
Texas lawmakers are proposing legislation that makes it a state felony to cross the border
01:13:51.240
from Mexico illegally and create a new border police force that could deputize private citizens.
01:13:58.220
This is the latest in the state's continued push to test the limits of the federal government's
01:14:04.020
We just had Ken Paxton, our attorney general on what yesterday, day before, and he said
01:14:09.180
he is hoping that he, the, the legislature will give him the power to be challenged, uh,
01:14:16.120
by the federal government because he believes we can win that fight because they have just
01:14:22.720
given our border up, uh, and it is an invasion.
01:14:28.300
And that's the only way constitutionally that states can take care of their own border problem.
01:14:33.020
Um, if the government, if the government's not doing it and they're not doing it, right.
01:14:37.680
Um, so the, the felony is usually a federal offense.
01:14:44.820
However, states can make a state felony as well.
01:14:49.340
So, you know, the left is all up in arms about this, uh, you know, gosh, we can't stop the,
01:14:56.600
let's not stop the flow of illegal aliens and, and fentanyl and human trafficking.
01:15:05.700
How many people from Russia, China, the middle East in known terrorist nations have come across
01:15:12.980
I mean, it was a staggering number that the border patrol released last year.
01:15:21.960
If we get a Republican president, we will see the effect.
01:15:25.560
The radicals that have been sent by Iran, by China, by all of these countries that hate
01:15:33.320
They came in, uh, in the cover of night over our borders and you know, they're not those
01:15:42.580
They didn't suddenly go, Oh, you know, it's an open border in America and I just love their
01:15:58.940
God, I, you know, I can't, I just can't take it from, you know, I've been, I've been telling
01:16:04.100
you about operation, uh, underground railroad and the Nazarene fund.
01:16:09.340
I've, I've told you about it, uh, for, I don't know how long, but this goes in with my,
01:16:17.000
um, abortion activism, I guess, I just, we have got to find favor in the Lord's eyes.
01:16:30.860
We, we have to do the things that put us on his side.
01:16:35.160
So we have to look for people who are struggling, look for people that are in pain, try to serve
01:16:43.560
And I can't imagine that the Lord is going to be like, oh, oh yeah, I didn't even notice
01:16:52.060
When it comes to stopping child sex trafficking, stopping the death of his little children,
01:17:04.420
I can't imagine that he's turning a blind eye to that.
01:17:07.420
We need to repent, turn back to him and say, look, we get it.
01:17:13.000
And I mean, America is the number one consumer of child pornography.
01:17:20.600
I mean, gang, we are not the shining city on the hill.
01:17:32.520
And everyone will know why, because we lost it.
01:17:43.920
The things that we are doing now just in Washington is so far away from reality.
01:18:03.040
You can just write the things that are happening now, put some music to it, and it would be
01:18:13.180
But if we don't wake up to that now, we are not going to be there for the opening of it.
01:18:19.020
So I support Greg Abbott in Texas and what they're doing, and I would urge you to call
01:18:30.220
your legislature in Texas and say, pass that bill.
01:18:35.460
Give him the power to be able to stop the flow of illegal drugs and people and trafficking
01:18:44.760
How many times are you going to sit there at your desk at home, looking down at the monthly
01:18:50.420
expenses and wondering, geez, I mean, how are we going to do it?
01:18:59.340
I want you to do one thing, and I know you, well, maybe you're not like me, because I avoid
01:19:06.600
I avoid everything that is like, you know, going to be tough.
01:19:12.440
But, you know, if I'm sitting there and I'm looking at how we're going to make ends meet,
01:19:15.560
I'm just like, it's just magically going to change, and I'm going to work harder and
01:19:18.780
whatever, and nothing really changes, and it gets me into even more trouble.
01:19:28.080
I urge you to call American Financing right now.
01:19:31.200
If you own your house, this is a family-owned mortgage company that's in it for you.
01:19:35.680
They're saving people just like you an average of $700 a month.
01:19:39.720
If you got $700 a month and were able to delay two mortgage payments, and you could close
01:19:46.560
in as little as 10 days, would that not help you out on your finances a lot?
01:19:53.380
Please, this could be the key to turning things around for you so you don't get behind the
01:20:05.480
American Financing, NMLS, 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
01:20:33.240
So the Pentagon has now claimed an alien mothership could send ships to Earth in a research paper.
01:20:51.620
Officials at the Department of Defense declared that it is possible for aliens to send small
01:20:58.220
probes to our solar system and to Earth on missions similar to the ones conducted by NASA.
01:21:04.620
This was written by a couple of, you know, smart eggheads and released last week.
01:21:10.700
It's centered on the physical constraints of unidentified aerial phenomena and claimed that a mothership already
01:21:17.000
in our solar system could send probes to Earth.
01:21:23.260
It goes on saying, you know, that we've probably already had our first visit from an interstellar traveler.
01:21:32.940
And they say this is, they were talking about the, remember that cigar-shaped?
01:21:44.520
Um, it's orbit was different than those in Earth's solar system.
01:21:49.500
It also slowed down and then sped up, which doesn't happen.
01:21:56.520
And, uh, they, they believe that it may have been either a scout, uh, which would be kind
01:22:06.440
of scary if that's what they're building as a scout, because that was huge, wasn't it?
01:22:12.440
I, you know, at times I wonder if people in the Pentagon aren't like, you know, guys,
01:22:22.240
I mean, the people really need some distractions.
01:22:24.360
Just, let's just, let's give them what they want.
01:22:31.160
You know, just because, you know, it's so weird that these things are coming out and no
01:22:38.100
You know, when I was growing up or even 20 years ago, these things are coming out.
01:22:46.260
And have you told people about these things that are coming from the Pentagon and they're
01:22:55.700
Not that that adds any credibility, but it's been out.
01:23:06.520
So I, again, am hoping for the scout to be real.
01:24:18.100
If you lose hope after hearing those words, your hope is misplaced.
01:24:32.100
At the last minute, when all seems lost, we finally get it and go, oh, and we pull together.
01:24:39.100
Now, they've done everything they can to make sure that we we don't stay together.
01:24:44.100
But I have a sneaking suspicion that coalition that they have built is falling apart.
01:24:53.880
A letter to a mainstream straddler in 60 seconds.
01:24:57.960
In an emergency situation, you're going to have to have a lot of things on your mind, especially if you've got a you've got a family and you have to take care of them.
01:25:05.420
People laugh at preppers, but let them laugh, man.
01:25:17.640
Just do those things and then don't worry about it anymore.
01:25:20.360

01:25:38.840
Aliens could invade us and I wouldn't be surprised.
01:25:43.300
Everything you can get at my Patriot Supply will help you.

Just go to mypatriotsupply.com and score free shipping as well.
01:26:15.360
You don't want to be called a conspiracy theorist.
01:26:18.300
You don't want to be tarred as an anti-vaxxer, a science denier, far right wing extremist.
01:26:23.800
You have your reputation to protect, your credibility, your grant funding.
01:26:33.800
And the philanthropists, the tyrants, the big liars, the enablers continue to profit, continue to conspire, continue to torture, continue to slaughter.
01:26:43.140
They'll tell you right to your face what they're doing.
01:26:48.200
But if you then turn around and quote them, you're the crazy one.
01:26:52.140
If you ask why a child, a teen, an athlete, other healthy adults suddenly had a heart attack or got turbo cancer or died, you are the truly disgusting one.
01:27:05.080
If you provide scientific evidence that a warp speed experimental injection being peddled by a trillion dollar industry in collusion with governments, federal agencies, the media and big tech might be dangerous.
01:27:22.020
If you ask what's causing the sudden deaths and injuries that began surging in 2021 in hopes of preventing future such tragedies, you're just morally reprehensible.
01:27:38.820
You point out that maybe we should think twice about pushing a product, you know, estimated to have killed 13 million human beings and counting.
01:27:46.900
Well, you're the major killing force globally and guilty of undermining public confidence.
01:27:52.940
If you call genocide, genocide, you're the enemy, the misinformation spreader, the anti-Semite.
01:27:58.300
If you dare point out never again is already happening, you get inquisitioned, even though the Holocaust survivors and their relatives agree with you.
01:28:10.120
You know, you're living in a world of lies when the mob is more enraged at the whistleblowers revealing the deceptions, corruption and murder than they are at the lying liars, the corrupt corruptors, the murdering murderers themselves.
01:28:24.500
Snowden said, when exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you're being ruled by criminals.
01:28:33.100
Once you start calling, once they start calling you those hideous names, you realize they're nothing more than magicians smoke.
01:28:41.860
You gradually start to give fewer and fewer craps about things.
01:28:47.040
You know, you've hit zero when you feel the exhilarating liberation that comes from shouting the unfettered truth.
01:28:55.160
That's the words can never hurt you stage and you become untouchable and you start collecting libels like purple hearts.
01:29:02.380
And the more scars you can count, the more evidence of your efficacy, your threat to the hegemony.
01:29:09.040
That's when you can truly live and by truth, not by lies.
01:29:13.520
If enough of us stand up and do that, we can hold the perpetrators accountable and we can find justice.
01:29:20.740
Once you're living in alignment with your values, you'll feel the deepest joy fathomable.
01:29:25.540
And when COVID criminals have been found guilty, when the spells dissolve, the people will gradually awaken from their coma and recognize you for the hero you are or not.
01:29:38.020
Most will be too ashamed to admit that they were conned, to realize they shielded fascist tyrants and attacked those trying to rescue them.
01:29:47.560
Few find that courageous humility within themselves to acknowledge their complicity in totalitarianism.
01:29:53.500
And so they will swath themselves in soothing denial and lash out to anyone who tries to puncture it.
01:29:59.840
But you will keep trying anyway, because that is what truth tellers do.
01:30:08.760
Your words will remain like candles lighting the path for future truth droppers.
01:30:19.700
I read that a couple of weeks ago and I said to my staff, I need to talk to this woman.
01:30:35.580
Thank you so much for that enthusiastic reading.
01:30:39.660
I, you know, you, I saw a bio of you and who you admire and look up to as heroes.
01:30:49.880
And there are many of the same people that I look up to.
01:30:54.780
And Stolas Nietzsche, and this just screams Stolas Nietzsche to me.
01:30:58.180
Well, that was quite an honor when I heard you say that.
01:31:08.980
Well, actually, it's been almost two years since I started it.
01:31:18.920
And I just, I started it with a piece called A Primer for the Propagandized, Fear is the Mind Killer.
01:31:25.200
And I had, you know, from the beginning of the COVID scandemic or whatever you want to call it, it was quite obvious that the propaganda was being used to psychologically manipulate people, you know, create a state of fear and panic.
01:31:46.000
So people would obey and essentially following Biderman's chart of coercion, like a recipe.
01:31:53.360
And so I was initially attempting to sort of wake people up to this fact by reaching out through, you know, online, local communities, next door, things like that.
01:32:05.680
And I eventually found that the censorship was so extreme, it was basically impossible to share any references, you know, as soon as I'd post a comment, if I had a link in there to substantiating evidence, it would get disappeared within minutes.
01:32:21.840
And so I had, somebody had posted something at Nextdoor that basically said, you know, these masks are not about health, they're about fear and obedience and obedience training, essentially.
01:32:36.820
And so I wrote a pretty lengthy comment in response to that.
01:32:40.820
And by the time I was getting ready to post it, that post had been disappeared.
01:32:45.860
And so I read it to my husband and he said, you know, you should submit that to Off Guardian.
01:32:53.280
And so I thought, OK, well, I need a place to house it.
01:32:57.440
And I've been thinking about creating a substack anyway.
01:33:00.740
So just in an afternoon, just threw together a substack, published that piece, submitted it to Off Guardian and kind of forgot about it for a couple of weeks.
01:33:10.320
And then Kit Knightley got back to me and said that they would love to publish it.
01:33:15.820
And then that sort of kicked off my publishing career and my readership snowballed from there.
01:33:30.940
You're obviously extraordinarily bright and well read.
01:33:34.520
You obviously know philosophy and history really, really well.
01:33:48.020
Well, from my readership, you know, very enthusiastic, extremely appreciative.
01:33:54.840
One of the things you probably notice that I do a lot is essentially I provide substantiating evidence for practically every word.
01:34:10.680
And that way, if anybody questions it or wants to explore more on their own, I've created basically all these rabbit holes that people can go down.
01:34:24.300
Some people find it irritating, which I understand.
01:34:27.420
You know, I have to tell you, you know, the letter to the mainstream straddler that I just read.
01:34:33.260
It has a lot of things I had to cut out for time, but it has a lot of things like Wampeter that I had never heard before.
01:34:39.900
And I follow the hyperlink and I'm like, oh, my gosh.
01:34:43.240
And so I was only annoyed because your one article took up about an hour of my time before I realized, wait a minute, I've got a life.
01:34:58.780
Well, when I started my sub stack, my mission, I articulated as I want to awaken the sleeping before tyranny.
01:35:09.040
Well, actually, I should say unmasked totalitarianism and awaken the sleeping before tyranny triumphs.
01:35:14.780
And that's still, you know, part of my goal, part of my mission.
01:35:20.340
But what I found is in my many attempts to awaken the sleeping, it is quite an arduous task if they're not willing to wake up.
01:35:33.300
And so, you know, I launched my letter series with a piece called Letter to a Covidian.
01:35:40.960
And, you know, I'm basically trying to confront the people with their hypocrisy, their discrimination,
01:35:48.440
the fact that they allowed themselves to be manipulated into becoming hateful, fearful people.
01:35:55.440
And, you know, it is difficult when people are sort of in a state of fear, they're panicked,
01:36:04.040
and they're just clinging to these easy solutions and safety.
01:36:08.940
And Laura Dodsworth wrote a great book called A State of Fear that documents the psychological manipulation techniques
01:36:18.600
But anyway, so part of my mission has evolved in that I am reaching so many fellow dissidents around the world.
01:36:29.880
And so really, it's been about nurturing this really rich community of brave, brilliant, funny, intelligent people.
01:36:41.820
And so it's been very gratifying in that sense as well.
01:36:45.540
May I ask you, because the global reach, when I have spoken to people from different countries
01:36:53.240
and I look at who's listening to my broadcast, and I'll find them everywhere that you would just not expect.
01:37:01.720
And it kind of gives me hope because I believe it's, this is not an American problem.
01:37:08.700
I mean, I think we're a great source of it, but this is not an American problem.
01:37:12.880
This is why there are demonstrations all over the world, because people know it's the elite against the common man.
01:37:31.780
You mentioned if your hope is in Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis, your hope is in the wrong place.
01:37:38.200
And one of my recurring themes is that it is we the people against they.
01:37:47.920
And so that's one of the reasons I wrote, I have a Profiles in Courage series.
01:37:53.540
And I did a piece on the Canadian trucker protests, who, of course, they were vilified in the media, big surprise.
01:38:01.380
But I spent, you know, a great deal of time just listening to the stories of the people who were there,
01:38:08.560
just kind of playing live streams in the background.
01:38:10.780
And there was just this up-swelling of joy and emotional connection with one another.
01:38:20.900
And you see when ordinary people get together in a spirit of peaceful love and compliance,
01:38:30.580
I was going to say to you a minute ago when you were talking about, you know,
01:38:34.820
you're trying to get people out of the darkness and how they just are unwilling to go.
01:38:44.820
And they cannot be disabled with more fear or hatred.
01:38:52.620
That's hard to convince people who keep feeling like a stick in the head or a stick in the eye.
01:39:00.380
And you kind of have some righteous indignation.
01:39:11.160
And I will say in arguing with COVIDians, it is, it has been a test of my patience.
01:39:18.920
Maintain my composure and be compassionate toward them.
01:39:21.800
And I do a rolling interview series called Dissident Dialogues.
01:39:28.020
And I call them rolling because as I work through the questions, I publish them one at a time for my paid subscribers.
01:39:35.660
And then when it's completed, I make it available to the public.
01:39:39.020
But right now I'm engaged in one with Meredith Miller, who is a holistic coach.
01:39:44.560
And I have found her insights into the psyche of what is occurring absolutely fascinating.
01:39:52.160
I've been studying this, been writing about it for three years.
01:39:55.660
And of course, I've been studying these topics for many more years before this.
01:40:00.020
But she articulates it in such a way that really helped me understand it from the perspective of these victims of the psychological manipulation.
01:40:08.920
So, for example, you know, she sees them as victims of narcissistic, emotional, psychological abuse.
01:40:18.580
And she calls it a psycho-neuro-spiritual state of captivity.
01:40:24.260
And so if you think of them as being like abused partners in a, you know, an unhealthy relationship, and they have Stockholm Syndrome, they are defending their captors.
01:40:36.960
And so anyone who tries to get them rescued from that situation before they are ready, they're going to resist.
01:40:46.360
And so Meredith basically said they have to be the ones who make, they have to have this moment, this epiphany, this moment of disruptive truth that helps them break through and recognize that they're being abused.
01:41:02.240
And that those of us who are outside trying to wrested them from that abuse, once they wake up, and, you know, she said,
01:41:11.640
my sub-stack is extremely valuable for people when they are awakening, because they're thirsty for that truth and that evidence to support their newfound realization.
01:41:22.280
Margaret, I would love to continue our conversation.
01:41:25.100
I'm going to become a paid subscriber of your sub-stack.
01:41:28.880
I think you're amazing, and I hope you don't mind.
01:41:48.440
I just, somehow or another, I just deleted her website.
01:42:01.300
Maria wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.
01:42:14.860
But three days into the trial, we noticed a difference.
01:42:24.000
Maria, thank you so much for just riding in and trying it.
01:42:30.320
Rough Greens is so confident your dog is going to love it.
01:42:32.720
And you're going to see improvements in your dog over time.
01:42:36.520
Just get the first bag free just to make sure your dog likes it.
01:42:44.780
It has all the probiotics and everything else your dog needs.
01:42:47.100
You get the first one free that you just pay for shipping.
01:43:28.080
And she has security issues, so she doesn't talk about it.
01:43:32.620
But she is not a slouch by any stretch of the imagination.
01:43:39.140
And I don't think that she was playing in the conservative sandbox at any time.
01:43:58.880
They are going back to their classical liberal roots.
01:44:04.240
Classical liberals are the ones who believe in the Bill of Rights.
01:44:10.460
I don't usually say that because it's misunderstood as a term.
01:44:18.440
I believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
01:44:27.060
But I'll fight to the death for his right to say it.
01:44:31.120
That's the kind of Americans we all need to be.
01:44:44.940
Because that's what people are waking back up to.
01:45:00.020
One of them I said today, I don't think this is the big collapse by any stretch.
01:45:06.580
But I don't know if we're over with this collapse.
01:45:09.600
I think it's going to be probably a little like 2008 where this set into motion some things.
01:45:14.840
And then when they can't keep it together with tape and paper clips, it all comes undone.
01:45:29.880
Because I truly believe, as I pointed out last night, digital currency is what they're going to go to.
01:45:39.460
Goldline is offering for free 150 original one-ounce copper Great Seal rounds with every qualifying order of $5 gold liberty or Indian coins that you acquire.
01:45:51.060
You can buy Indians and Liberty coins in tubes or in boxes of 20.
01:46:04.660
You can help us in our fight against big tech and government censorship.

01:46:39.660
So I was reading a story today about Duck Dynasty star Missy Robertson.
01:46:50.580
They were doing a book event at a library in Tennessee, Hendersonville, which doesn't sound like a huge metropolis.
01:47:00.360
But they were doing it at the public library and they had real problems.
01:47:07.120
And as I'm reading this story, I thought, I got to call Missy and just ask her about it.
01:47:31.560
So, you know, if you're watching your podcast or your show on Blaze TV or on YouTube, you saw you bring this up and talk about it.
01:47:48.220
Yes, actually, when I came home from that trip, I told my husband, Jace, who's one of the talent on Unashamed with Phil and Jace Robertson on Blaze TV.
01:48:05.460
And I mean, they're too busy or uninterested to be on there with my family, just being totally transparent.
01:48:12.020
But so when I said, I need to talk about something on the podcast, it kind of shocked him.
01:48:17.200
And he just said, yes, immediately, which was really funny.
01:48:19.720
I said, you don't even know what I want to talk about.
01:48:21.800
But what had happened was literally the day before.
01:48:27.520
Most of my children and both of my grandbabies live in the Nashville area.
01:48:34.880
And Brave Books reached out to me and said, hey, you know, Kirk's going to be on his library tour in Hendersonville.
01:48:41.760
Which is not too far from where my children are.
01:48:49.940
Kind of wish I thought of that to do a library tour.
01:48:56.960
So that morning, I was not privy to a lot of the pushback that had been going on.
01:49:04.400
So I kind of walked in a little deer in the headlights, I think, to use a southern term.
01:49:11.180
But that morning was actually really cold and it had been warm and beautiful all week.
01:49:18.280
That morning was like 41 degrees, raining and freezing.
01:49:23.260
And when I got there almost two hours before it opened, there was already a line formed with children, umbrellas, babies.
01:49:30.880
And so I thought, okay, I can't really believe that they're coming out for this little library reading.
01:49:40.100
Even my children backed out at the last minute.
01:49:49.480
So as the morning went on, the lines got longer and Braves wanted to do some little promos about our books inside this beautiful.
01:50:00.740
I want to say this, this beautiful, multi-level, gorgeous library with tons of windows.
01:50:09.260
For a small little town, I was not expecting this.
01:50:11.940
And so the depth of the library behind us was just such a great, beautiful place to do some promos.
01:50:19.200
And was just kind of snuck up on when I realized that people started making noise in the closed library.
01:50:31.780
And I realized over the next few minutes that it was being done on purpose to distract from what we were trying to do is make these videos, just promoting, just promoting these books.
01:50:44.420
And these books, what's so silly is these books are about unconditional love of family, forgiveness, the fruits of the spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, self-control.
01:50:58.820
You know, these are kind of ironic when you think about some of the things that we're trying to push.
01:51:05.180
They said that we're trying to push on children and their families.
01:51:09.140
So let me ask you, why didn't you just ask the librarian to do what all librarians do and say, shh, who were these people that were?
01:51:19.960
But again, like I said before, I wasn't really sure what was going on.
01:51:25.240
And I, you know, being in reality TV, we're not on sets anywhere.
01:51:33.360
And so I thought, you know, maybe people, we're in their environment.
01:51:40.320
We're trying to do something, you know, so can we ask them nicely to, you know, be quiet?
01:51:46.500
Like, shh, I think Kirk said, it's a library, shh.
01:51:54.120
And we realized there was a moment where I thought something is wrong when one of the Brave team asked the director who was coming kind of out into the open.
01:52:06.160
And he said, hey, can you ask your staff to hold it down?
01:52:09.480
And he fired back, you're not even supposed to be here.
01:52:13.240
And Kirk shot back, yes, we are supposed to be here.
01:52:16.440
And these were very loud voices, and it kind of took me off guard.
01:52:20.660
Like, something, are we not supposed to be in the library?
01:52:23.480
Like, I start thinking about, like, are we doing something we're not supposed to do?
01:52:27.580
I'm such a rule follower, and I don't want to upset anyone, you know.
01:52:31.380
And Brave, just look, the Brave team just looked at me and was like, we're fine, and yes, we're supposed to be here.
01:52:35.780
Did they, the lady behind the, this is what you said on Ashamed, the lady at the front desk of the library said, we're just trying to look for things to deal with our stress.
01:52:47.940
That was, I think, the actual moment where it confirmed in my mind.
01:52:54.760
And really, look, I'm like, am I, I'm just sitting there thinking that everyone, we're welcome, there's hundreds of people outside.
01:53:02.400
So, this was really hard for me to wrap my brain around, that someone was trying to thwart this process.
01:53:09.440
And so, when she said that, after Riley, you know, Riley Gaines was also there reading for Bethany Hamilton's book.
01:53:22.040
She said, I grew up five minutes from this library.
01:53:25.800
So, I started to think about what would happen if, you know, our little West Monroe Library, West Monroe, Louisiana Library, if some of the people were acting like that against someone that I had invited or was invited to my hometown library.
01:53:43.420
And I think, you know, she took it upon herself to kind of march over there and say, look, we're asking for 60 seconds of quiet.
01:53:51.080
Can you not turn off the music that you're blaring?
01:53:58.940
And she said that she didn't think she had the authority to make that decision to turn off the radio.
01:54:06.380
So, I mean, nothing is probably going to happen to these people.
01:54:11.000
I don't know if you fired a, you know, or filed a complaint.
01:54:17.000
Yeah, this actually started with the brave book people because they wanted to turn Kirk down, right?
01:54:32.840
So, but I was learning as I was standing there.
01:54:42.680
They are so sweet, the ones that we were reading, especially that day, to all of these children and families.
01:54:48.620
And I was so, I'm so proud of this book and for Kirk's book because they're biblical values without, you know, basically shoving verses down children's throats.
01:55:00.840
That's what I think some of the quotes have been said about us.
01:55:07.640
And it's a partnership that the authors have with brave books.
01:55:11.060
And so, and like my book is about unconditional love and forgiveness of family.
01:55:16.840
And I loved when I talk about it to speak about how the Father in heaven and Jesus who created us love us unconditionally.
01:55:24.580
That there is nothing in the world that we will ever do to make him stop loving us.
01:55:35.040
There are consequences to our behavior, but he will never stop loving us.
01:55:39.360
And it mirrors our own, with our own children and parenting.
01:55:44.240
Isn't it amazing, Missy, how this is so, the world is so upside down that that is considered evil indoctrination?
01:55:58.220
And I don't get angry a lot because I feel like the older I get and the more my relationship with my creator grows,
01:56:06.700
the more I love him and appreciate his sacrifice for me and the more I understand why he loves me so much.
01:56:14.580
Especially now that I have grandbabies, I have two generations of children behind me that I love unconditionally and would do anything for.
01:56:21.760
And I want everyone to experience that relationship like I have with him.
01:56:28.120
And so now, you know, there have been consequences to that library and to their staff's behavior.
01:56:36.240
I got a text from Kirk last night, actually, telling me that the library director was fired.
01:56:44.260
And so I don't have a lot of confirmation of that.
01:56:54.240
I told my husband last night, I said, when I told him, he said, good.
01:57:00.520
And I thought, I mean, it is good, but we don't wish ill on anyone.
01:57:06.340
I feel like they do on us, but we really don't wish ill on anyone.
01:57:10.120
But we have to stand up for what they are trying to do with our children and our grandchildren.
01:57:18.320
And now I've got two brand new grandbabies that my children are having to make decisions
01:57:24.380
on where to put them in school, if they're even going to go to a school.
01:57:30.480
It's a very difficult situation for them, and I do not envy them.
01:57:34.940
We're going to support them 100% in whatever decision they make.
01:57:38.940
But they're really taking it seriously, and I'm afraid that if we don't, we're going to
01:57:46.100
Oh, we already have, unfortunately, because we didn't speak up.
01:57:50.540
And, you know, you said, you know, the stronger I am with the Lord, you've just experienced
01:57:58.800
And I'll tell you, the stronger I become in the Lord, I find myself in those situations
01:58:10.660
You just, you're like, what kind of suffering did you go through, or are you going through?
01:58:26.600
You know, that's what led me to want to talk about this.
01:58:32.840
We have a place there close to my kids, and my son Cole was there, and he's my peacemaking,
01:58:43.500
And he was like, Mom, you need to talk about this.
01:58:46.800
Yeah, there's a—you know, people think that if you're loving and you're following in the
01:58:50.520
footsteps of Christ that you're just never going to, you know, say anything.
01:58:56.080
No, it's standing firm in the truth with compassion to other people, but that doesn't mean you
01:59:03.280
You cannot live your life quiet, especially in this world.
01:59:07.160
If you are not an enemy of evil, then you're really nothing.
01:59:18.400
And I was taken so off guard for a second, she was like, this is not happening, and walked
01:59:23.520
over there and was not unkind at all, but very direct.
01:59:31.200
I started videoing with my own phone because I thought, is this really—this is happening.
01:59:35.920
This is what I've been seeing on the news happening from coast to coast, but not here
01:59:43.480
This is not happening in our little hometowns, but it is.
01:59:51.620
Missy, thank you so much, and say hi to everybody for me, and we so appreciate Unashamed and all
02:00:07.740
You can find it on Blaze TV and also on YouTube.
02:00:13.000
Today is the day you make an important decision.
02:00:17.360
You know, the one where you shell out enormous amounts of money every month, you pay a big
02:00:20.960
mobile corporation that's probably donating some of that money to leftist causes, or do
02:00:26.040
you take charge and do you take things into your own hands?
02:00:29.860
Do you switch to a company that doesn't do those things?
02:00:32.960

02:01:49.580
We were just talking about Riley Gaines, who is the swimmer in Kentucky, right, that was
02:01:58.700
constantly speaking out, you know, hey, I don't feel comfortable with the guy in the locker
02:02:08.060
And having to compete against him, you know, the guy who was 462nd, I think, ranked in men's
02:02:17.640
And then when he switched to women's swimming, suddenly went to number one.
02:02:22.980
But it had nothing to do with the fact that he was a man.
02:02:27.200
Dude, did you ever see that documentary, Victor Victoria with Julie Andrews?
02:02:31.720
I did see that documentary many, many years ago.
02:02:34.200
Okay, so I don't know if you remember, but I should watch it again.
02:02:40.760
Robert Preston was some kind, I don't remember what role he played exactly, but he convinced
02:02:50.500
She couldn't get a job, even though she was a fantastic singer.
02:02:55.160
And Robert Preston said, but you know who they are hiring?
02:03:04.080
Yeah, who dress like women and sing like women.
02:03:07.120
So I'll make you look like a man, you go in and get the job, and then you dress like you,
02:03:13.940
a woman, but you're a guy pretending to be a woman.
02:03:21.240
And the problem with that, at that time, was that it was unfair to the trans men, because
02:03:27.300
she cut in line, you can't, the guy can't compete with a woman.
02:03:35.880
In real life, it's totally fine to take away the awards from the women.
