The Megyn Kelly Show - Glenn Beck on the Impending Inflation Disaster, the Border Crisis, and Biden's Divisive Messaging

00:00:00.000 When I found out my friend got a great deal

00:00:02.160 on a wool coat from Winners,

00:00:03.760 I started wondering,

00:00:05.440 is every fabulous item I see from Winners?

00:00:08.560 Like that woman over there with the designer jeans.

00:00:11.260 Are those from Winners?

00:00:12.780 Ooh, or those beautiful gold earrings.

00:00:15.260 Did she pay full price?

00:00:16.600 Or that leather tote?

00:00:17.600 Or that cashmere sweater?

00:00:18.500 Or those knee-high boots?

00:00:20.300 That dress?

00:00:21.080 That jacket?

00:00:21.740 Those shoes?

00:00:22.780 Is anyone paying full price for anything?

00:00:25.800 Stop wondering.

00:00:27.000 Start winning.

00:00:27.940 Winners.

00:00:28.520 Find fabulous for less.

00:00:30.620 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

00:00:32.520 Your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations.

00:00:42.680 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly.

00:00:44.540 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Friday.

00:00:47.220 Today I'm joined by Glenn Beck, the one and only.

00:00:51.000 One of the most talented people in all of media.

00:00:54.640 He really is.

00:00:55.460 I was talking to a friend of mine today.

00:00:57.580 I just, there's no one else like him.

00:01:00.100 There's never been anybody else like him.

00:01:01.740 And I doubt there ever will be anybody else like Glenn.

00:01:04.340 Just so much talent wrapped up in one man.

00:01:07.540 So I love talking to him about anything.

00:01:10.480 But today there's a lot to go over.

00:01:12.100 He's, of course, the host of the Glenn Beck program on Blaze TV and our lead in here.

00:01:17.020 If you're listening on Sirius XM Triumph Channel 111, he's coming up in one minute.

00:01:20.960 But first, we're going to talk sports, something I rarely do.

00:01:24.860 And the reason we're talking sports is because the NBA returns this month.

00:01:28.140 And with it comes the return of the athletes with more social capital than in any other sport in the world.

00:01:35.100 NBA players have tremendous cultural power and they exert it, as we saw when they immersed themselves in the so-called social justice movement over the past year or two.

00:01:45.100 So this activism has been celebrated as player empowerment by a media desperate to prove its woke credentials on subjects like racial justice.

00:01:54.900 They love it.

00:01:55.780 Journalists castigate those who point out that this divisive messaging by players and coaches on issues like BLM and defunding the police is making half the country dislike these players, not to mention hurting the ratings.

00:02:08.800 But the journalists say, shut up, shut up.

00:02:11.040 We deny it.

00:02:11.980 Don't talk about it.

00:02:12.920 But it's true.

00:02:13.900 It's been very divisive.

00:02:15.100 And it's really cost the NBA in terms of its ratings.

00:02:17.840 The nonstop lecturing can turn off even casual fans who just want to watch a basketball game and not get lectured to on social mores by a bunch of guys whose league has not exactly been a leader when it comes to obeying the law, treating women respectfully.

00:02:30.840 I could go on.

00:02:32.200 No matter.

00:02:33.560 NBA stars speaking their minds when it comes to George Floyd, Black Lives Matter and cops.

00:02:39.780 The media loves it.

00:02:41.980 Love it.

00:02:42.300 But it turns out that player empowerment, it's kind of annoying when it comes to COVID and mandatory vaccines.

00:02:50.320 Yes, a secret exception to the preach rule of reacting when players speak out on social issues.

00:02:57.600 Who knew this was in there?

00:02:59.260 No, you see, when it comes to athletes who don't support mandatory vaccines or who don't even want to get the vaccine themselves, these woke media scolds are much more in the Laura Ingram shut up and dribble camp.

00:03:13.660 Who knew?

00:03:14.240 You see, in 2021, the only socially acceptable COVID vaccine position is every good person must do as Dr. Science, I mean Fauci, instructs and get one and then tell others to get one, too.

00:03:29.100 There is a serious lack of vaccine rationalists in the corporate media whose official position is you either believe everyone must get a vaccine or you're a dangerous anti-vaxxer.

00:03:40.860 There's no middle ground, no nuance, no middle ground, no nuance, and no one is allowed to care about anyone's particular medical history.

00:03:47.860 Irrelevant.

00:03:48.260 But the reality of these vaccines is, of course, it's a bit more complicated than the media admits.

00:03:55.660 Shocking, I know.

00:03:56.920 And I say this as somebody who supports vaccines, who is vaccinated, and I love the vaccine.

00:04:02.960 I think it's a miracle.

00:04:03.860 I think we should be very proud that we came up with the Pfizer and the Moderna and the J&J vaccine so quickly in record time.

00:04:10.060 We should be touting it, not afraid of it.

00:04:12.660 All right.

00:04:13.360 But I don't support the mandates.

00:04:15.220 And I loathe the dishonest media scolds who deem you a bad person for not wanting the vaccine while they're out partying in bars all night, allegedly rubbing their hands on their genitals and then shoving them all over strangers' faces.

00:04:28.780 Hi, Don Lemon.

00:04:29.600 Hi, looking at you.

00:04:31.200 And now the COVID vaccine zealots have turned their sights on the very NBA players whose voices they had deemed so important back when they were bashing cops.

00:04:42.660 Is it because murder rates are now at record highs in America's major cities?

00:04:48.100 Ah, no, no.

00:04:50.280 It's because many of these guys, as it turns out, are not super pro-vaccine.

00:04:55.460 Or perhaps they're just not pro-vaccine mandates.

00:04:59.260 The horror again.

00:05:01.280 And they've had the nerve to say it out loud.

00:05:04.580 Now, I don't know much about basketball, but I do have a working knowledge of who some of the superstars are.

00:05:09.440 And some of the biggest names in the sport are in this vocal minority.

00:05:15.020 You saw LeBron James this week say he got the vaccine, but he wasn't going to tell others what to do.

00:05:20.620 You got Kyrie Irving and Bradley Beal.

00:05:23.300 And then there's Jonathan Isaac of the Orlando Magic.

00:05:27.260 Did you hear him this week?

00:05:28.660 He gave probably the best response I have seen yet from any public figure on his thought process behind whether to get the vaccine.

00:05:37.060 A rational, cogent response to a question about why so far he has chosen to remain unvaccinated.

00:05:45.160 Listen.

00:05:45.300 I've had COVID in the past.

00:05:48.340 And so our understanding of antibodies, of natural immunity has changed a great deal from the onset of the pandemic and is still evolving.

00:05:57.480 I understand that the vaccine would help if you catch COVID and you'll be able to have less symptoms from contracting it.

00:06:07.360 But with me having COVID in the past and having antibodies with my current age group and fitness, physical fitness level, it's not necessarily a fear of mine.

00:06:17.520 And taking the vaccine, like I said, it would decrease my chances of having a severe reaction, but it does open me up to the, albeit rare chance, but the possibility of having an adverse reaction to the vaccine itself.

00:06:32.940 I don't believe that being unvaccinated means infected or being vaccinated means uninfected.

00:06:40.860 You can still catch COVID with or with not having the vaccine.

00:06:44.440 It should just be their decision and, you know, loving your neighbors, not just loving those that agree with you or look like you or move in the same way that you do.

00:06:53.260 It's, you know, loving those who don't.

00:06:55.780 That was amazing.

00:06:56.960 Wasn't that perfect?

00:06:58.820 Obviously, Isaac makes perfect sense.

00:07:01.220 Perfect sense.

00:07:02.060 He's had COVID for God's sake, right?

00:07:03.980 We've heard this from nurses who are about to get fired and school teachers who are about to get fired who have had COVID and don't want to have the vaccine forced on them.

00:07:11.660 But this logical point of view is not allowed.

00:07:15.980 Rolling Stone, the once respectable magazine, published a piece headlined, the NBA's anti-vaxxers are trying to push around the league and it's working.

00:07:27.960 He's not an anti-vaxxer.

00:07:29.720 Not wanting to get the vaccine once you've had COVID does not make you an anti-vaxxer.

00:07:33.920 Isaac, who already drew the media's ire a couple of seasons ago for being one of the few players to refuse to take a knee in support of Black Lives Matter, his first sin, is described as, quote, deeply religious and proudly unvaccinated, more sins, and is said to have come to his vaccine decision after, quote, studying Black history and, wait for it, watching Donald Trump's press conferences, his worst sin of all.

00:08:00.100 That was it. That's when he lost the media.

00:08:04.060 But Isaac maintains he's not anti-vax.

00:08:07.540 I'm not anti-vax. I'm not anti-medicine. I'm not anti-science.

00:08:12.620 I didn't come to my current vaccination status by studying Black history or watching Donald Trump press conferences.

00:08:19.020 I have nothing but the utmost respect for every health care worker and person in Orlando and all across the world that have worked tirelessly to keep us safe.

00:08:28.020 My mom has worked in health care for a really long time.

00:08:31.520 I thank God I'm grateful that I live in a society where vaccines are possible and we can protect ourselves and have the means to protect ourselves in the first place.

00:08:41.840 But with that being said, it is my belief that the vaccine status of every person should be their own choice and completely up to them without bullying, without being pressured or without being forced into doing so.

00:08:55.120 So he didn't. He didn't. Right. He came to his decision on his own.

00:09:00.380 He did his own research and that's not OK.

00:09:02.980 And the response to players like Isaac, who are calmly, rationally, convincingly making their case, is it shut up and listen to them.

00:09:10.420 As we were told when a black man spoke during the Black Lives Matter protests back in 2020.

00:09:16.220 No, no, they no longer want us to listen.

00:09:20.360 Will Leach of New York magazine has has the perfect response.

00:09:23.820 Players who aren't vaccinated explaining their decision shows, quote, the downside of player empowerment.

00:09:31.520 Again, shut up and dribble, guys. Shut up and dribble, says Will.

00:09:35.180 Chris Eliza of CNN writes that unfortunately, several elite NBA players used their return to camp to voice their deeply uninformed views on the COVID-19 vaccination.

00:09:48.000 Did Isaac seem deeply uninformed to you?

00:09:50.800 Did he?

00:09:51.080 Did he seem off the reservation?

00:09:54.160 Chris Eliza's translation?

00:09:55.940 You're a bunch of dumbasses.

00:09:56.960 That's what he thinks.

00:09:57.840 Signed, Chris Eliza.

00:09:59.140 Can't wait for the articles, by the way, about how Eliza is bullying these players.

00:10:03.720 Eliza is the same guy who tore into Donald Trump for challenging Dr.

00:10:07.260 Fauci's narrative that COVID-19 began in nature, absolutely in nature and definitely not in a lab in Wuhan, China.

00:10:14.700 So Eliza at the time chastised then President Trump, writing, quote,

00:10:17.740 Only one of these two people is a world-renowned infectious disease expert, and it's not Donald Trump.

00:10:24.180 Of course, the former heads of the FDA and the CDC both now say the lab leak theory is the most likely explanation for the origins of COVID-19.

00:10:32.940 Chris and a majority of Democrats and Republicans also now believe that.

00:10:37.680 No thanks to uncurious lemmings in the press like you.

00:10:41.520 But it is not just Eliza who's upset with players like Isaac.

00:10:46.420 Scott Van Pelt of ESPN delivered a viral rant against these players on his show this week.

00:10:52.040 Listen.

00:10:52.280 When you're a star athlete who avoids answering with some vague explanation about doing more research, it's a bit disingenuous.

00:11:00.000 What type of research?

00:11:01.300 Where?

00:11:02.040 Is it something that you read or heard somewhere?

00:11:04.000 Are you researching smallpox vaccines, polio, flu shots, any of that?

00:11:07.940 Truth is, you're probably not going to explain to anyone why you're choosing not to do this.

00:11:11.440 And again, that is their right.

00:11:12.780 Kevin Durant called Kyrie Irving's decision personal.

00:11:15.360 But when personal decisions impact the player's ability to be available to their employer in a relationship which makes both of them a whole lot of money, what happens next?

00:11:24.900 I don't know.

00:11:25.960 I also don't know why athletes who have trusted doctors their entire careers to care for ailments suddenly distrust them on this specific issue.

00:11:33.020 If there were Internet threads about how having your ACL repaired with a ligament from a cadaver would turn you into a mutant, maybe they'd be hesitant to do that, too.

00:11:40.020 I don't know.

00:11:40.360 Not for nothing, but the condescension dripping from Van Pelt and Leach and Silliza is coming from three white guys, essentially describing NBA players who all happen to be black as a bunch of ignorant dopes.

00:11:55.300 So what are we really seeing here?

00:11:56.740 What's really going on?

00:11:57.700 It's more evidence of how dishonest these media hacks are and the collapse of their vacuous claim that they are for player empowerment, support NBA players finding their voice and want them to voice their unvarnished opinions.

00:12:12.580 Sure, the media loves that when the opinions are, quote, the correct ones.

00:12:17.260 The vaccine issue isn't going anywhere.

00:12:19.900 It's going to be front and center this season in the NBA and elsewhere.

00:12:22.760 And while the goal of these media outlets is, theoretically, to get more people vaccinated, shaming and bullying those who make a different choice and pretending they don't have perfectly reasonable reasons for those choices, like already having had COVID, is the absolute worst way to persuade anyone to listen to them.

00:12:44.300 But then it's not about persuasion.

00:12:45.920 It's about control.

00:12:47.120 The vaccine zealots, just like the CRT zealots, fear they're losing it.

00:12:52.800 They're losing control when guys like Isaac speak out.

00:12:56.040 And they are.

00:12:57.500 And they should.

00:12:59.440 And we can continue wresting control from media hacks who loathe anyone who disagrees with them by continuing to speak out to your school board, your employer, your local paper, your neighbors on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and elsewhere.

00:13:15.440 While we still can.

00:13:17.120 Joining me now, my pal Glenn Beck.

00:13:19.620 He's hosted the Glenn Beck program on Blaze TV.

00:13:23.320 So Glenn, Laura Ingram, who got so pilloried for shut up and dribble, is now being echoed by these media guys because the basketball players don't necessarily want to be forced to get a vaccine, especially if they've already had COVID.

00:13:37.660 And now the shut up and dribble crowd, right, has grown, but without any acknowledgement of their own hypocrisy.

00:13:43.240 Isn't it amazing how the so, so tolerant left loves everybody's opinion until they disagree with them?

00:13:53.500 And then shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.

00:13:57.920 You know, I'm I think I'm kind of consistent.

00:14:00.920 I really don't care what a basketball player has to say about anything other than basketball.

00:14:04.360 And I'm not into basketball.

00:14:06.000 So there's no reason for me to ever ask a basketball player about anything.

00:14:11.020 Maybe that's just me.

00:14:12.880 You know, if I if I want advice on whether I should get the vaccine or not, I'm going to my doctor.

00:14:18.120 Right.

00:14:18.640 Unfortunately, my doctor recommends that for me that I don't get the vaccine because I've already had COVID.

00:14:28.700 So I have the natural immunity to it and he's watching on that.

00:14:33.480 Well, gee, that doctor, he must be a bad doctor because he's he's going to you know, he can't say crazy things like that.

00:14:41.520 He should be telling everyone to get the vaccine.

00:14:43.440 No, no, it should be between me and my doctor.

00:14:47.600 And you know what?

00:14:48.240 If I if I happen to pick a crazy doctor, well, that's my right to pick a crazy doctor.

00:14:53.980 I mean, if you remember Chris Cuomo, his doctor that treated him, treated him with soup and is is, you know, it was treating his astro body.

00:15:06.300 So please don't tell me that I have to have a doctor that you approve of when you wouldn't even look into the doctor that Chris Cuomo was getting treatment from.

00:15:17.780 And he was telling us exactly how to live our life.

00:15:20.600 His wife is taking baths in bleach, for God's sake.

00:15:23.460 Yeah.

00:15:24.020 Yeah.

00:15:24.340 It's not it's not Donald Trump.

00:15:26.720 It's people like that.

00:15:28.280 And you know what?

00:15:29.960 If you want to take baths in bleach, I mean, I happen to also believe in natural selection or the, you know, survival of the fittest.

00:15:38.440 Yes.

00:15:39.340 I mean, OK, you know, use your own brain.

00:15:43.720 Use your own brain.

00:15:44.780 And if your brain's telling you I should inject bleach, well, then have a good luck with that.

00:15:52.680 Good luck with that.

00:15:53.640 It's just to me, it's so the story is so good because it encompasses so much about the media and how awful the corporate media is.

00:16:01.000 Right.

00:16:01.200 It's like we were told you will shut up and listen when a black man speaks back when the NBA was doing the BLM protests.

00:16:09.440 You will be quiet and listen.

00:16:12.560 Now you got all these white journalists being like, oh, there's such a bunch of ignorant dumbasses.

00:16:16.740 Right.

00:16:16.900 And we're and we're going to them that we have to listen to them about everything, including that.

00:16:21.860 No, there's no problem with China.

00:16:23.220 China is great.

00:16:24.480 China is so free and wonderful.

00:16:26.580 Please, please.

00:16:28.400 I stop listening to you.

00:16:30.980 Well, that was like I mean, that was one of the earliest interviews I did on my podcast was with Mark Cuban,

00:16:35.460 who came on in the first half of the the podcast was talking about how we have a moral duty to speak up when we see things that are wrong, that are they're morally wrong.

00:16:47.300 And that's why it was important for the NBA to have BLM on the court, you know, painted on the court and the players to have these jerseys with these social messages on them and so on.

00:16:55.580 And then I said, what about China?

00:16:58.260 Are you ready to speak out against them and the ethnic genocide that's going on right now while you're taking their money?

00:17:04.400 And he wouldn't do it.

00:17:07.100 He I asked him to get specific.

00:17:09.080 I had to press him 10 times before he'd really go there, Glenn.

00:17:11.960 And even then he was he was mad.

00:17:14.300 He was mad.

00:17:15.000 I mean, it was like, shit, fuck, shut.

00:17:16.700 You know, whoa, I've touched a nerve because, yeah, his his his bravery wasn't quite so large when we got to the subject.

00:17:26.300 Yeah, because it's not it's not even about bravery.

00:17:28.360 It's you know, it's are you on the side of, quote, the future and the future is, according to some, you know, the great reset, build back better China kind of policies.

00:17:44.540 China is our friend and people who believe in the Constitution is not they are not our friend.

00:17:49.680 That's not the future.

00:17:50.640 You know, when Nancy Pelosi said in England, what was it, last week or the week before, she actually said that we know that China is continuing their genocide with the Uyghurs.

00:18:06.380 Now, I want to stop the tape just there.

00:18:10.980 You are admitting as a federal official that, you know, that they are committing genocide on a group of people.

00:18:21.100 OK, that that should probably be noted.

00:18:24.120 We didn't we didn't even admit that during World War Two when we clearly knew what was going on.

00:18:30.560 We didn't even admit that because then you have a moral responsibility to stop it.

00:18:34.760 But she said, we know that they're continuing the genocide on the Uyghurs, but we have to work with them on global warming.

00:18:43.860 And so we can't bring things like that up because we need them to save the planet.

00:18:50.340 Are are these people completely out of their mind?

00:18:54.940 They are they are so disconnected from reality and from, you know, everything that we were all taught by our moms and dads or our grandparents or somebody that we really respected and looked up to.

00:19:08.460 There are certain common sense things and we've abandoned all of them, all of them.

00:19:13.620 And they're talking gibberish.

00:19:17.040 All of them are talking gibberish.

00:19:19.280 And I feel like I'm alone.

00:19:22.700 But then I listen to people like you and I talk to people on the street and everybody is is just going.

00:19:28.940 What is it just me?

00:19:30.220 Am I the only one that thinks that that's crazy?

00:19:32.640 Am I the only one that thinks that you shouldn't have to have the vaccine?

00:19:36.640 Let people make their own decision.

00:19:38.860 Why is it that we don't why is it that we don't get this vaccine from our doctors yet?

00:19:44.480 I mean, I understand why we had to go to CVS at first because they were going to put them in parking lots and everything else.

00:19:49.420 But why can't our doctor?

00:19:51.500 I mean, because if you really wanted to make sure people had the vaccine, I know I get the flu shot because I'm in the doctor's office for something.

00:19:58.820 He's like, oh, by the way, if you had your flu shot yet now, I haven't.

00:20:01.600 Yeah, we'll just give it to you.

00:20:02.980 OK, you want to have that.

00:20:04.580 Give it to the doctors.

00:20:05.720 Why can't the doctors do it?

00:20:08.840 They do it for their own offices.

00:20:10.580 But I think back to when the vaccine first came out and I saw a well-known doctor in New York City who was not a primary care physician.

00:20:19.840 I was seeing him for something else.

00:20:21.780 And he was saying that he was getting offers from people who are on like the board of his hospital for $100,000 so that they could get one of the early vaccines.

00:20:32.940 People were desperate to get the vaccine.

00:20:35.180 Right.

00:20:35.720 And it's like and now now it's switched to where some people have vaccine hesitancy.

00:20:41.360 Some people are are anti-vax.

00:20:43.080 That's their thing that whatever that's you do you.

00:20:46.100 Whatever.

00:20:46.540 And some people have had COVID and genuinely do not appear to need the vaccine.

00:20:51.840 We just had two doctors on yesterday saying the studies show you do have better immunity when you've had COVID and you could boost it with a vaccine on top of your recovery from COVID.

00:21:04.500 Why isn't that a personal choice?

00:21:05.800 Why isn't that a personal choice?

00:21:07.620 Why is it that I think it's one of the Navy SEALs I wrote I read about today?

00:21:14.140 Somebody I think it's military is suing for natural immunity.

00:21:19.320 They're like, wait, wait, wait, why can't I count my natural immunity?

00:21:24.540 Since when did that just was thrown out of science?

00:21:29.760 These are popping up more and more of these lawsuits.

00:21:32.120 And so far in the lawsuits I've seen that the defendants have caved when confronted with that question.

00:21:38.080 When it's a natural immunity, that's the best kind of plaintiff for these cases.

00:21:40.600 Somebody who has it who had COVID and has natural immunity.

00:21:43.820 And let's say that they can go in and prove that their antibodies are strong or what have you going in there to say, I don't understand.

00:21:49.800 Why don't I matter?

00:21:50.740 Why doesn't my illness count for anything?

00:21:53.620 All right.

00:21:53.880 Stand by.

00:21:54.980 One of the one of the lead virologists at Johns Hopkins, I had him on my show a few weeks ago, and he's like, look, I mean, that natural immunity exists.

00:22:06.220 It always has existed.

00:22:08.380 And that's why we try to get to herd immunity.

00:22:10.620 And you are better off than a vaccine if you have the antibodies.

00:22:15.960 If you've had a really strong case of it, I did.

00:22:19.880 If you have a bad case of it, you're better off.

00:22:23.700 That's what our doctor yesterday said.

00:22:25.760 Even our Dr.

00:22:27.000 Manaka Gandhi, who is Gandhi, who is pro vaccine mandate, even she was saying, in particular, if you had a strong case of COVID, you've got very strong antibodies.

00:22:36.720 But these same people are telling us to listen to science, Glenn, who, you know, they won't acknowledge it.

00:22:43.480 There's the same people who call women now bodies with vaginas.

00:22:47.440 And it's like the rest of us, like you say, are sitting around saying, am I the crazy one?

00:22:51.260 No, I'm not.

00:22:52.200 I'm not the crazy one.

00:22:53.460 They're also telling us that the hospitals are overrun and these doctors on the front line and these nurses are heroes.

00:23:02.220 Oh, let's fire you without without any kind of pension or anything because you wouldn't take the vaccine.

00:23:09.780 How many of them have all have the antibodies now because they had COVID?

00:23:14.700 Now we're punishing those people.

00:23:17.700 We're we're letting people in on at the border with illness.

00:23:23.040 Yes.

00:23:23.440 One out of five have an illness.

00:23:25.740 Gee, I wonder what that is.

00:23:27.140 We're letting them in.

00:23:28.540 We're putting them into our cities.

00:23:30.780 There's no tracking of it.

00:23:32.720 Nothing whatsoever.

00:23:34.000 But now our border patrol has until the end of the month.

00:23:37.880 If they don't have if they're not fully vaccinated, they're fired.

00:23:42.080 It's so crazy.

00:23:43.360 Crazy.

00:23:44.060 It's insane.

00:23:45.040 By the way, here in New York state, those health care workers who are about to get fired, the teachers who are about to get fired, they don't get unemployment benefits.

00:23:51.700 Our governor has said you get nothing.

00:23:53.840 You're fired.

00:23:54.700 I don't give a damn about your natural immunity.

00:23:56.540 Your ass is fired.

00:23:57.820 You're not collecting unemployment.

00:23:59.420 And the punishment will go on from there.

00:24:01.240 This is so wrong.

00:24:02.760 And this is the first time I've agreed with the teachers union.

00:24:06.180 I know.

00:24:06.820 Probably in about eight years.

00:24:08.100 Right.

00:24:08.860 I mean, here are these people.

00:24:10.320 And I have such a hard time having sympathy for people who have played games with our children as much as they have.

00:24:17.700 But they're right.

00:24:19.960 And I'm sorry.

00:24:21.220 I will defend the teachers union on this particular front because they're right.

00:24:26.220 It is unconstitutional.

00:24:28.400 It's insanity.

00:24:29.280 First of all, it's not a vaccine like the smallpox vaccine or, you know, the polio vaccine where we are eradicating it.

00:24:39.160 It's more of a treatment than it is a vaccine.

00:24:42.600 You can still spread it once you've been vaccinated.

00:24:45.500 If this were like the earlier version, right, when we had before Delta, that version of COVID wasn't as transmissible to the vaccinated or by the vaccinated.

00:24:55.020 But with Delta, all bets are off.

00:24:56.920 And, yes, it might give you a little bit more of a measure of protection against spreading it or receiving it.

00:25:01.620 But very clearly, you can spread COVID right now if you've been vaccinated.

00:25:07.780 So to pretend that you can't put that teacher in front of my students unless he's been vaccinated, because otherwise he could he could spread COVID to my kid.

00:25:16.320 He can spread COVID to your kid even if he's been vaccinated.

00:25:19.460 That's a sad truth right now.

00:25:21.040 Yes, yes.

00:25:23.000 And, you know, the reason why people are acting the way they are right now, first of all, took six years for the polio vaccine to break.

00:25:35.280 After six years, I think it was 61 or 63 percent of the public had the vaccine.

00:25:40.700 That's where your kids aren't walking anymore.

00:25:43.680 OK, and it took six years for the public to get up to 60 percent vaccination.

00:25:49.380 So I don't know exactly what they're expecting.

00:25:52.660 There's nothing that Americans do.

00:25:55.340 Ninety eight percent lockstep, nothing.

00:25:59.080 And you're expecting us to get to that.

00:26:02.000 It's completely unreasonable.

00:26:03.720 And if it were if it were Ebola, we'd all have the vaccine.

00:26:08.880 We'd all have the vaccine.

00:26:10.680 But this if you were a movie maker and you were going to make a movie about a pandemic and it was going to wipe out everything.

00:26:18.800 And you were going to you watch the destruction of this pandemic.

00:26:22.820 Would a Hollywood writer select covid to be the bad guy?

00:26:29.480 No, because no one would believe it.

00:26:32.440 No one would believe that everyone would have this kind of argument, this fight.

00:26:37.800 You destroy the economy.

00:26:40.460 Literally, I hope we get to the economy at some point.

00:26:43.860 Actually, we will.

00:26:44.420 Yes, I want to get into it, too.

00:26:45.720 Because what is happening right now is there are going to be empty shelves everywhere in this country next year.

00:26:54.480 We haven't even begun to pay the price of what we've done because of covid.

00:26:58.000 And we're arguing about this stupid vaccine.

00:27:02.340 It's insane.

00:27:03.640 And we're just heaping more pain on corporate America, saying saying there won't be any.

00:27:09.140 There won't be any.

00:27:10.180 Don't worry.

00:27:10.760 No, not not corp.

00:27:12.460 Not the giant corporations.

00:27:14.340 Remember, you couldn't go to.

00:27:16.100 Yes, you couldn't go to Ace Hardware.

00:27:19.020 But somehow or another, Home Depot was good.

00:27:21.280 It was a covid free zone.

00:27:22.620 So we're crushing the small businessman and the entrepreneur, the big businesses.

00:27:29.200 They're fine.

00:27:30.220 They're going to be fine.

00:27:31.900 Wait, let me tell you something, though, a quick little story before we take this break about Ace Hardware.

00:27:36.680 So we did the quarantine in Montana where we had been skiing when everything shut down and we had gone on that trip, understanding that there was a chance that could happen.

00:27:45.180 So we kind of made plans and we stayed in Montana and everything was closed, as you know, during quarantine out there everywhere, everything.

00:27:52.880 But there was I mean, this is like a sleepy little town in Montana.

00:27:56.500 There's there was one Ace Hardware that was open.

00:27:59.860 So I go in there and Montana is not not like New York City, Glenn.

00:28:03.620 It's that's Fox country.

00:28:05.080 So they knew me there.

00:28:06.600 So I walk into Ace the first day and I needed my retail therapy.

00:28:11.480 You know what I mean?

00:28:11.860 Like I didn't I didn't care about it.

00:28:13.100 I was like, I really need that bucket.

00:28:14.280 I desperately need it the next day and I need it in green, too.

00:28:17.580 So the first day I walk in there and the and the ladies are like, oh, my God, are you Megan Kelly?

00:28:23.400 I'm like, yeah.

00:28:24.000 Oh, my God.

00:28:24.540 We're big fans.

00:28:25.900 Flash forward to the end of the quarantine.

00:28:27.500 They're like, hey, how's it going?

00:28:29.640 I couldn't.

00:28:30.220 I was there so much.

00:28:31.960 We became fast friends.

00:28:33.240 They knew everything about me.

00:28:33.980 It got to the point where they couldn't have cared less.

00:28:36.000 I was basically helping them restock the shelves before we left Montana.

00:28:39.960 So I have a special place in my heart for the Ace Hardware.

00:28:43.000 All right.

00:28:43.260 Let me stand you by because I do have to squeeze in a break.

00:28:45.620 So much to go over with Glenn.

00:28:46.800 I do want to get into the economy, the inflation with this three point five trillion that they're

00:28:50.380 about to shove on us, plus the one point two trillion on top of that.

00:28:52.880 And what's happening now with illegal immigration and our DHS secretary saying we now cannot deport

00:28:59.180 illegal immigrants just for being here illegally.

00:29:02.460 If you find somebody who's here unlawfully, you may not push to deport him.

00:29:06.920 You have to prioritize only those people who actually who pose a risk to public safety.

00:29:12.280 Don't go away.

00:29:13.100 So much to go over.

00:29:19.920 Welcome back to The Megyn Kelly Show, everyone.

00:29:21.840 My guest today is Glenn Beck, host of the Glenn Beck program on Blaze TV and right here on Sirius

00:29:28.340 XM as well.

00:29:30.080 OK, so let's talk about the southern border.

00:29:32.580 So much to go over, including now in the midst of seeing all these migrants come across the

00:29:37.540 southern border to the tune of I've heard as many as 18,000.

00:29:41.400 What is DHS's message these days?

00:29:43.640 It's don't deport anyone who doesn't pose a threat to public safety and isn't a new arrival.

00:29:50.540 So it's basically amnesty.

00:29:53.000 They couldn't get their amnesty through in their reconciliation bill because even the Senate

00:29:58.400 parliamentarian was like, well, that that's not really about a budget issue.

00:30:02.800 That's something else that should be run by the American people.

00:30:05.620 The DHS secretary has effectively granted it because if we're not going to deport you,

00:30:09.540 I mean, it's not citizenship, but if we're not going to do anything about you and you're

00:30:12.740 here illegally unless you pose some serious crime with a threat or as a terrorist, that's

00:30:17.800 what he's talking about.

00:30:19.160 Welcome to America.

00:30:20.060 Yeah, let me let me translate what the DHS said, because I, you know, I speak bullcrap

00:30:29.480 fluently.

00:30:30.980 So let me translate it to English.

00:30:33.380 Everyone who wants to come to America, come on in.

00:30:37.400 Come on in right now.

00:30:38.960 Nothing's going to happen to you.

00:30:40.880 Haitians, we were just kidding.

00:30:43.660 Come across the border.

00:30:45.000 Everything's great.

00:30:46.520 That's what people are hearing.

00:30:47.960 That's what they're hearing.

00:30:48.940 Are you using sound effects lie in real time?

00:30:51.620 I got to talk to Sirius.

00:30:52.920 Why?

00:30:53.400 I cannot do that, Abby.

00:30:55.480 It's amazing.

00:30:58.300 No, that's exactly right, though.

00:31:00.020 I can I can also do this.

00:31:01.700 Nothing to see here.

00:31:03.040 Nothing at all.

00:31:04.120 Oh, my God.

00:31:05.000 I'm going to have nightmares about that.

00:31:06.700 You ever need the devil to show up?

00:31:08.080 We can we can do that.

00:31:09.380 Yeah.

00:31:09.680 Anyway, that should have been your Nancy Pelosi voice in the last.

00:31:12.300 Yeah, I know.

00:31:14.180 Yeah.

00:31:14.580 I mean, what what's happening is they are making this announcement and they are

00:31:18.920 telling everyone who wants to come here, come.

00:31:23.140 They say that they're saying the opposite.

00:31:25.520 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:31:27.200 We've got Kamala in some hidden closet somewhere telling people not to come, sending a very clear

00:31:33.700 message.

00:31:34.460 You know, it's not what you say.

00:31:37.480 It's what you do.

00:31:39.600 And what they're doing is sending the message.

00:31:43.120 Come on in.

00:31:43.820 You're fine.

00:31:45.020 We're not going to hassle you.

00:31:47.220 And their defense to this is, oh, no, we're only saying that for people who are here,

00:31:51.800 you know, prior to 2020.

00:31:53.900 No, you're not.

00:31:54.600 I mean, look, even if that were true, these migrants have no idea.

00:31:58.480 They don't, A, believe that or, B, have any idea about what time qualifier is on there.

00:32:03.800 Those migrants who came across the border the last couple of weeks, they weren't like,

00:32:07.320 oh, but we're too late to join the party.

00:32:13.480 You know, it's a farce.

00:32:14.860 No, there is.

00:32:17.800 I mean, let me ask you this, Megan, and ask you this sincerely.

00:32:23.820 If you wanted to collapse every system that we have, if you thought the United States was

00:32:32.060 bad and should be put in its place and should stop doing wars all around the world, should

00:32:40.180 stop spreading colonialism, should pay for its its crimes of the past and join the rest

00:32:51.260 of the world in reality, would you do anything differently than what this administration has

00:32:57.840 done on all fronts?

00:33:00.840 I mean, if you look at just Afghanistan, look at how they have destroyed our allyship.

00:33:07.400 You know, they said Trump was going to destroy NATO.

00:33:10.080 Really?

00:33:10.420 Because it was pretty healthy when he left.

00:33:12.260 Now NATO's in trouble.

00:33:13.720 Now all of our allies are saying, we won't join you in a fight with this administration

00:33:19.020 because we can't trust them.

00:33:20.640 They've sent the signal that China is in charge.

00:33:23.820 America is leaving the world stage.

00:33:27.120 Extraordinarily dangerous.

00:33:28.660 They've sent the message internally that we do leave people behind.

00:33:33.360 We sent the message internally.

00:33:35.580 You have anything to say about it?

00:33:37.400 And you're a military man?

00:33:40.020 Shut your mouth or you go to prison.

00:33:42.740 We're setting all kinds of really bad messages.

00:33:47.340 And every single one of them, if it was a mistake in Afghanistan, you would have said,

00:33:54.080 OK, this clearly isn't working.

00:33:56.100 Do we have another strategy?

00:33:57.920 And we'd reverse it.

00:33:59.340 No, they're claiming this is a success.

00:34:01.920 This is what they wanted.

00:34:03.400 You look at that with the economy and inflation.

00:34:07.180 You look at it with the border.

00:34:09.500 Everything that is being done, it's not a mistake.

00:34:13.080 It's not incompetence.

00:34:14.700 It's not that he's senile.

00:34:16.800 Otherwise, they would have reversed the course when they would have seen the devastating effects.

00:34:22.180 This is a plan.

00:34:24.800 We are being slowly nursed down into a third world kind of nation.

00:34:33.840 And let me challenge you on that, because I think it is incompetence.

00:34:37.640 I don't know.

00:34:38.060 I don't see Joe Biden as an evil master planner up there trying to take down America.

00:34:44.140 Correct.

00:34:44.720 I don't think he is either.

00:34:46.180 I think this is his opportunity, as it's been sold to him, to be the next FDR.

00:34:51.300 They're going to fundamentally transform America.

00:34:53.960 Yes.

00:34:54.700 So you don't have to go evil.

00:34:57.800 They think they're right.

00:34:59.540 They think this is the right thing for America.

00:35:03.080 So it's not that they are, you know, twirling their mustache and saying, we've got them now.

00:35:11.260 It's this is what they've worked their whole life for.

00:35:14.220 The leftists have worked their whole life for this.

00:35:17.240 They think that's where America belongs.

00:35:19.380 And so it is happening.

00:35:20.520 And if you want to blame it on incompetence, then you have to play the odds.

00:35:24.780 What are the odds that everything this administration has done has worked not in the favor of a stable United States government or a stable society?

00:35:39.780 Not one.

00:35:40.920 If it was incompetent.

00:35:41.540 OK, but let's talk about it.

00:35:42.560 Let's talk about it.

00:35:43.180 Once in a while, something would fall our way.

00:35:45.520 In a in a in the category of incompetence, we can look at Afghanistan and how poorly it was handled.

00:35:51.120 Then you hear the general say that five, six days before we hit the August 31st deadline, which was imaginary anyway.

00:35:58.620 They he finally went to them and said, what if we stayed past that date?

00:36:03.240 Could you give me a plan of staying past that?

00:36:05.500 So it's to me, it seems like the Biden administration was scrambling.

00:36:08.860 They realized how badly they screwed up and they waited too long.

00:36:11.620 And they finally went to the generals and said, what else could we do?

00:36:14.380 They weren't satisfied.

00:36:15.220 And they didn't pull out.

00:36:16.220 I mean, they did pull out on the 31st.

00:36:17.560 So that's a point, I think, in favor of incompetence as opposed to master plan.

00:36:23.140 But now I'm going to give you the floor.

00:36:24.340 But I also think that you look at what's happening at the border.

00:36:27.580 You look at, you know, the economy pumping all this.

00:36:30.080 But you want to there's so much to discuss about the economy today.

00:36:32.300 But just in general, for now, pumping all this money into an economy where inflation is already on the on the rise.

00:36:39.320 I think those things are driven by their, in large part, woke, a nonsensical ideology.

00:36:46.340 They want more immigrants across the border because they believe somehow they're going to turn into Democrats and it's going to help them win votes and the ends justify the means.

00:36:54.220 They want more people to have this money through the three point five trillion dollar plan because it's it's part of the rescue of the middle class, the working class.

00:37:04.580 We're going to give free college. We're going to, quote, free, free college, and we're going to get free daycare.

00:37:09.380 We're going to free everything. Take from the haves, give to the have nots closer to a utopia.

00:37:14.260 I think that's how they see the world.

00:37:17.120 Yeah. So that's kind of what I'm saying when I say they don't they're not twirling their mustache.

00:37:20.680 They think that they are right. They think that they are right.

00:37:23.980 But we are also being managed in our decline.

00:37:27.020 And, you know, I don't care if you think you're right.

00:37:32.780 You are not abiding in many cases by the Constitution.

00:37:37.100 They are intentionally. Tell me tell me how the mistake is that we put somebody who was involved in tree spiking into the BLM management.

00:37:48.700 That's not Black Lives Matter, but but Bureau of Land Management.

00:37:55.060 So you put in an activist who was a radical hanging out with terrorists.

00:38:02.760 You put them in charge of all of the federal land, which I'll remind you, I'm I'm a rancher in Idaho.

00:38:09.520 So I have cattle and I have a thousand acres and cows that are grazing on a thousand acres.

00:38:16.920 Well, no rancher has enough land to graze their cattle alone.

00:38:24.420 You you use BLM land.

00:38:27.320 You that's what it's for.

00:38:28.660 They were just supposed to maintain it.

00:38:31.240 And everyone can use that land to graze cattle or whatever.

00:38:35.600 So you have extra feed.

00:38:37.420 Well, she's not going to do that.

00:38:40.740 You're going to see a closing down of the BLM land, which will make ranchers go out of business.

00:38:48.200 Hamburger, meat, any kind of kind of beef.

00:38:52.460 Yes. And it all goes to exactly what they want.

00:38:55.820 And it's not incompetence.

00:38:58.300 It's what they do.

00:39:00.860 It's this is what they want to happen.

00:39:03.260 But it is a it's not something that I think most Biden voters voted for.

00:39:08.460 Most Biden voters were told he's going to return to normal.

00:39:12.480 None of this is normal.

00:39:14.260 None of this is normal.

00:39:15.640 That's why you get the comments by people now like.

00:39:19.040 But no mean tweets.

00:39:20.360 And they're right.

00:39:21.960 There's no question.

00:39:22.880 Donald Trump did not project stable genius, as he said about himself so many times.

00:39:28.840 Stable genius is not exactly what you think of what you think of Trump.

00:39:31.720 But we didn't have this nonsense.

00:39:34.200 Yes, we had weird messages on Twitter, and we had some divisive messaging from the Oval Office.

00:39:39.660 I don't think any sane person would dispute that.

00:39:41.980 However, you're you're is this not divisive?

00:39:45.420 What he's doing to young men on college campuses, women with vaginas or bodies with vaginas?

00:39:51.640 Because that's the Lancet.

00:39:52.920 But his the CDC is now refusing to use the term women as well.

00:39:56.400 That's not divisive.

00:39:57.660 Not to mention what's happening at the border and all these migrants coming across who are

00:40:01.200 going to take jobs.

00:40:02.380 And he doesn't care about the working class.

00:40:03.980 He cares about the working class of the three point five trillion.

00:40:06.320 What about the people who are going to lose their jobs?

00:40:08.200 Thanks to folks who come across the southern border and don't.

00:40:10.520 What about the women who are going to get raped by the cartels?

00:40:12.800 What like how is that not divisive?

00:40:15.140 But it it it is that people who claim to be humanitarians are not humanitarians.

00:40:22.620 You know, who's over there?

00:40:24.560 You know, is GLAAD over there saving homosexuals in Afghanistan who are going to be killed?

00:40:31.580 Is the National Organization of Women?

00:40:33.760 Are they mounting a big campaign to go help all those women?

00:40:36.500 No, no, they don't.

00:40:38.420 You actually care about these things.

00:40:40.360 Glenn Beck was doing it and running.

00:40:42.460 I still am roadblocks.

00:40:43.740 We still have people risking their lives to get people out.

00:40:47.860 We have saved homosexuals, women, Christians, Muslims.

00:40:54.320 It doesn't matter if you are marked for death.

00:40:57.640 I happen to still believe.

00:40:59.620 Let me just say this way.

00:41:00.860 I still hold these things self-evident that no matter who you are, you have a right to live.

00:41:08.260 You have a right to express yourself the way you feel without any interference.

00:41:12.660 And apparently all of these human rights organizations, they don't actually believe that anymore.

00:41:19.800 It's not just Glenn Beck raising attention to these things and concerned about them, nor Megyn Kelly.

00:41:25.660 The latest polls for Joe Biden are terrible on a lot of these core issues.

00:41:30.760 I'm going to bring it back to that next, and then we'll get to what's happening with our economy to the point where the dollar store is now raising most of its prices to $1.50.

00:41:40.700 I mean, if that doesn't encapsulate what we're looking at in a nutshell, I don't know what does.

00:41:45.320 Welcome back to The Megyn Kelly Show, everyone.

00:41:52.600 My guest today, Glenn Beck, host of the Glenn Beck program on Blaze TV.

00:41:57.720 OK, so the polls.

00:41:59.740 Biden's now officially underwater in virtually every poll I've seen, meaning his disapproval numbers are higher than his approval numbers.

00:42:06.380 There's a morning consult poll showing, oh, sorry, no, this is Quinnipiac, showing, OK, his approval with independence is now stuck in the 30s.

00:42:18.080 When it comes to how he's handling foreign policy, 59 percent disapprove, only 34 percent approve.

00:42:26.900 When it comes to the job of commander in chief, chief, 55 percent disapprove, only 40 percent approve.

00:42:33.160 When it comes to how he's handling the economy, 52 percent disapprove, only 42 percent approve.

00:42:40.160 And even covid were just a couple of months ago.

00:42:43.400 His numbers were very high, at least his base, like the way he was handling the pandemic.

00:42:49.120 Now, more disapprove than approve.

00:42:52.380 It's 49 percent disapprove to 48 percent approve.

00:42:56.420 These numbers are terrible and they don't just spell disaster for Joe Biden.

00:43:00.280 And we're looking at a potential bloodbath if it stays here come the midterms.

00:43:05.220 And what's amazing is go ahead, pull the parachute on this guy who probably is not fit to be president of the United States anymore.

00:43:13.580 And then you you you get who Kamala, who has even lower ratings.

00:43:19.000 I mean, this is a very unpopular regime.

00:43:24.800 And next year, I know we're going to talk about the economy next year.

00:43:29.660 They will marvel at the times when they had a 35 percent approval rating.

00:43:35.340 They will marvel at those days.

00:43:37.880 How how do they solve the personnel issue?

00:43:41.440 Right.

00:43:41.620 If Joe Biden lives up to his term to not run again.

00:43:43.780 And let's face it, it doesn't look like he's going to have any choice.

00:43:46.500 I mean, he's just you can see him decompensating.

00:43:49.960 They can't run her.

00:43:51.120 She can't.

00:43:51.780 I think even the Democrats know she cannot win against a DeSantis, a Trump.

00:43:56.860 I don't know.

00:43:57.440 Trump's he's a stickier wicket.

00:43:59.260 Right.

00:43:59.500 Because he's there.

00:44:00.240 People have very strong opinions.

00:44:01.940 And in the latest polls, by the way, show that the I think it was some 44 percent of Biden's voters voted for him simply because he wasn't Trump.

00:44:08.280 The vast majority voted 52 percent.

00:44:11.100 I think it was.

00:44:11.700 And then there's some undecided.

00:44:12.680 But 44 percent didn't even choose him because they liked him.

00:44:15.620 They chose him because he wasn't Trump.

00:44:17.300 So let's say it's not Trump.

00:44:18.260 Let's say it's a DeSantis or Pompeo, whomever.

00:44:20.820 They got to find somebody else.

00:44:22.060 Glenn, they got to run somebody else.

00:44:24.640 Yeah.

00:44:25.220 I mean, if you look to the future, it's bleak for Democrats because there isn't anybody that speaks the language of the heartland and and normal people anymore.

00:44:35.860 They're all wild extremists.

00:44:40.140 And I don't mean, you know, that they're all, you know, Marxist.

00:44:46.400 I mean that, you know, when you don't when you won't allow anyone in your party to say, you know, partial birth abortion is bad.

00:44:54.880 You know, you're you're you're in an extremist group.

00:44:59.440 And so I don't know who they could possibly run.

00:45:02.240 But they call him a Republican.

00:45:04.900 Yeah.

00:45:05.180 I mean, you can't have no one will be able to run in that party as a as a as a regular American ever again, because they are too extreme.

00:45:20.040 Now, the only person that I could think of would be somebody like Michelle Obama.

00:45:24.200 I don't think she'd do it, but it would take somebody like that.

00:45:27.820 You could take, you know, Chris Rock Johnson and maybe run him.

00:45:34.440 But I don't even know if he's that extreme.

00:45:36.520 You mean Chris Rock or Dwayne Johnson?

00:45:39.040 No, that would be a formidable ticket.

00:45:41.200 Not Chris Rock, but Dwayne Johnson.

00:45:44.120 Dwayne the Rock Johnson.

00:45:46.500 Sorry.

00:45:48.260 Yeah, those two confused.

00:45:50.040 Um, that would be an amazing ticket that Republicans would be scared.

00:45:53.900 Yeah, you know, I might even vote for that one just because it'd be fun.

00:45:57.860 But you're going to have to reach out and get somebody new.

00:46:03.820 The other thing that you have going for you is if you look at the reconciliation bill, it has all of or a lot of H.R.

00:46:13.640 one and Senate Bill four in there.

00:46:16.980 It has a lot of the overreach, um, to take over as the federal government, some of these elections.

00:46:24.080 Um, and that's the only thing I could think of that would save them is dirty play on the elections because there's no future to this.

00:46:33.640 Well, I mean, the thought of pushing out a woman, a woman of color who's been the sitting vice president as the heir apparent is, I mean, for this party that's been lecturing us about all those things for how many years now?

00:46:48.720 Oh, yeah.

00:46:49.120 They're they're in a dicey position.

00:46:50.740 Uh, these numbers are not good.

00:46:52.520 Oh, I would love for them to run her.

00:46:54.540 Just run.

00:46:55.320 She is so unlikable.

00:46:57.100 She is.

00:46:57.520 Nobody.

00:46:57.700 She is the nobody in her own party liked her politician we've seen in decades.

00:47:01.960 Um, up next, we are going to get into the economy and the news is not good.

00:47:05.340 And Glenn, who's been very good about making predictions and they're scary, um, we'll make one here that you're going to want to hear.

00:47:12.300 So that's up next.

00:47:13.560 Don't go away.

00:47:14.140 We're going to talk in depth with Glenn Beck, his economic predictions.

00:47:17.400 Uh, and by the way, speaking of vice president Kamala Harris, we're going to talk about the fallout now from her praising a student who accused Israel of ethnic genocide.

00:47:27.440 She did not push back.

00:47:29.640 Stand by.

00:47:35.020 Welcome back to the Megan Kelly show.

00:47:36.900 My guest today, Glenn Beck, host of the Glenn Beck program on Blaze TV.

00:47:42.080 And to kick this off, uh, our discussion on the economy, let's just talk about inflation because that is something it's like this scary economic word, but most Americans know it and experience it as just price increases.

00:47:55.240 Price increases on everything from gas, uh, and meat to things like what you buy at the dollar store, where now for the first time that I can ever remember, instead of things costing a dollar, they're going to be a dollar 50 announces Dollar Tree stores saying many of their items just have to go up.

00:48:11.740 Now, if you are building a house, you have felt this acutely, um, the prices are going up all over the board.

00:48:18.180 And while the Biden administration continued to say, no, no, no, they're going to go back down.

00:48:22.380 They're going to go right back down.

00:48:23.400 So temporary blip, they said in the spring, it isn't true.

00:48:27.540 Um, the, all the forecasts now are, they're getting more dire by the moment, but they're not good.

00:48:33.100 The Fed is predicting inflation this year will be 4.1% up from the June forecast of 3.4.

00:48:39.340 The National Association of Business Economists, they raised the fourth quarter inflation forecast from, it had been 2.8 to 5.1%.

00:48:47.300 Um, now even Biden's top economic advisor who had been the most vocal in denying that, uh, that $1.9 trillion, you know, that, that was the COVID rescue plan.

00:48:57.420 Uh, he said, that's not going to trigger inflation.

00:48:59.400 Now he says, we're going to see inflation through at least the middle of 2022.

00:49:02.520 Um, there was a great article in issues and insights today by the editorial board, just putting the lie to all of this, at this, as they're predicting GDP growth is going down.

00:49:13.260 So we're going to make less, we're going to spend more.

00:49:16.000 And now two thirds of the public is saying they believe inflation is going to be a long-term problem, including 59% of Democrats because people feel it.

00:49:24.640 That's something you cannot tell them not to believe their lying eyes.

00:49:27.600 They feel it and they know the difference between $1 and $1 and 50 cents.

00:49:33.340 Can I, can, and I don't want to speak down to the audience or you or anything, but I think we have to understand things clearly.

00:49:39.300 So could I play, could, could I just play question and answer with you on how inflation, how it works and what it is.

00:49:47.540 Are you going to press the magic button again?

00:49:49.180 Yes.

00:49:49.720 Yes.

00:49:50.020 Okay.

00:49:50.500 So, um, what is, what is the definition of inflation?

00:49:56.100 Do you know?

00:49:57.600 Off the top of your head.

00:49:58.340 This is so bad.

00:49:59.180 Um, I just feel like it's a rising prices.

00:50:01.320 Yeah.

00:50:01.800 Rising prices.

00:50:02.520 It is too much money chasing too few goods.

00:50:07.680 Okay.

00:50:08.560 So when, when there's a balance between money and goods, then everything is fine.

00:50:13.900 But when there's a shortage of goods, um, or a lot of money out in the system, that price will go up because people can afford to buy it.

00:50:24.680 Uh, or they will start bidding the price up because they want that piece.

00:50:30.200 Okay.

00:50:30.700 They want that.

00:50:31.460 And so when there's a shortage of goods, pardon me, supply and demand.

00:50:35.300 Yes.

00:50:35.840 Supply and demand.

00:50:36.640 Okay.

00:50:36.900 Too much money, uh, chasing too few goods.

00:50:40.660 So that's, what's happening.

00:50:42.800 We are on two fronts.

00:50:44.200 We have COVID, which is taken a lot of stuff.

00:50:47.560 How many of us now feel like I've never, I've never seen this before.

00:50:52.520 I've never had to try to find at nine o'clock at night, an open fast food restaurant because they're all closed.

00:51:00.260 Cause nobody's working them.

00:51:02.060 Uh, I've never gone into so many stores where I say, can I get that?

00:51:06.180 When it will be, Oh, I have no idea when it'll be.

00:51:08.440 It might be months.

00:51:09.760 I've never experienced that as an American.

00:51:12.040 Okay.

00:51:12.500 So there's, that's your new normal, but we haven't even hit any of this.

00:51:17.700 At the same time you have COVID taking goods off of the shelves, you're injecting all of this money through money printing, um, to keep the economy going.

00:51:29.260 They're about to, they want another three and a half trillion dollars to do it.

00:51:33.580 And so all of that money is going into the system.

00:51:36.900 Every time they want to build a road, if you're trying to build a patio, the too few goods would be concrete or construction materials.

00:51:46.880 And so your price will go up just because the federal government is using all of those materials.

00:51:53.940 So the price continues to go up and with so many dollars being pushed in, inflation happens.

00:52:01.520 That's the Fed's job is to control inflation.

00:52:05.940 Now, how do they control inflation?

00:52:08.840 How do you get, when you print too much money, how do you get all that money back to the Fed so you can burn it?

00:52:14.560 They're increasing the number of goods, but they, well, yes, but also increasing, but, but the supply, if they can increase the number on the supply side, but they, but it's going the wrong direction.

00:52:25.340 Correct.

00:52:25.720 And it's going to get much worse.

00:52:26.960 So you, you don't, you can't fix it that way.

00:52:30.580 And the traditional way is the Fed raises interest rates.

00:52:34.040 So when you go to buy a loan, you know, get a loan, you know, right now you can get a loan 3%.

00:52:39.920 And that's what the bank is borrowing the money for or from.

00:52:45.720 And then they pass it to you and maybe you have 4% interest.

00:52:49.180 So the bank makes money, the Fed makes money, but when they raise interest rates, that's because the Fed says, we need 8% for you to borrow this money.

00:52:59.620 The bank then charges you 10%, but that 8% that the Fed gets, they take all that money out of the market because there's too much money and they burn it.

00:53:08.820 They destroy it because we have made or printed or digitized so much money.

00:53:17.820 You can't, you can't imagine the interest rate that it would take.

00:53:22.540 I mean, we had interest rates, double digits under Jimmy Carter.

00:53:27.060 We'll have double digits, but they won't start with a one.

00:53:30.960 They'll start with a two or a three.

00:53:33.300 When that happens, people can't afford their mortgages.

00:53:37.640 People can't afford to invest in business or expand.

00:53:41.740 And the entire thing stops.

00:53:44.380 What we have now is the end game that started, oh, 2000, probably around 2000 and 2008, we just made it worse.

00:53:56.460 We started printing money.

00:53:58.200 We started the Fed, started buying up things.

00:54:00.600 So the stock market doesn't make any sense anymore.

00:54:04.360 All the economic rules are gone.

00:54:07.640 And we're now at the point to where the Fed has to decide, I either have to print much more money, which will make inflation worse, or I've got to try to get us out of that by raising interest rates, which last week they announced.

00:54:24.040 They said they wouldn't do it for two years.

00:54:25.500 Now they've announced it and they're starting money tapering.

00:54:30.020 So they're not going to buy as much stuff to hold this thing together.

00:54:34.320 That's not going to work.

00:54:36.140 It's not going to work.

00:54:37.680 And you are going to see either the turning on the printing press at unbelievable volumes, or you're going to see a massive, massive crash and one not like 2008, one that will affect the entire world.

00:54:54.100 And it will put us into a situation that we haven't seen since the 1930s.

00:55:01.060 You know, they had said that they believe the conventional wisdom about spending no longer held water, you know, running up the debt, running up the deficit.

00:55:10.920 We did it for so long and got away with it for so long that there was sort of new thinking on this.

00:55:17.580 So we didn't need to worry about it anymore.

00:55:19.140 We didn't have some huge inflation under Obama, under Trump.

00:55:23.140 And so I've seen more left leaning economists come out and say that's sort of old thinking.

00:55:28.840 You don't have to.

00:55:29.420 We don't have to worry about that anymore.

00:55:31.120 That's called modern monetary theory, and it is bullcrap.

00:55:35.800 If you didn't need something to back up your currency, you don't think some king or dictator or country would have come up with that a thousand years ago.

00:55:46.600 Of course, you need something to back it up.

00:55:49.420 They're saying all we need is the potential of people paying those income taxes.

00:55:55.720 So we'll go ahead and just print the money.

00:55:59.480 And as long as the potential is there, then we can we can tax them whenever we want.

00:56:05.820 If we have to.

00:56:07.260 This is ridiculous because you have all of the money in the system.

00:56:11.200 So how do they solve inflation with price controls?

00:56:15.900 This is why you are seeing every single thing that the government is doing is starting to lock industries into place.

00:56:24.080 It's starting to say, I don't care what the little guy is doing.

00:56:27.320 I only care about these big things because that's going to that they can control that.

00:56:33.500 It's going to go into public private partnerships.

00:56:37.160 And if you don't believe me, read the Coca-Cola statements from Europe.

00:56:44.440 They're already deep into this.

00:56:46.520 Go to the World Economic Forum and see what they're doing.

00:56:49.140 Here's one. Just go to see the person that the Fed.

00:56:53.980 I'm sorry, that our Treasury just made the comptroller of our currency.

00:56:59.640 She is a a a USSR born, raised and taught professor student professor who is now, I think, at Cornell.

00:57:09.580 She's just been made our comptroller.

00:57:12.040 She's so radical that even Janet Yellen said, I don't think she's you know, she wants to end the banking system.

00:57:19.900 She's now overseeing our banking system.

00:57:23.020 She was just appointed this week.

00:57:24.960 This woman has said repeatedly that all private banks should be done and all all depositors.

00:57:37.420 Every transaction should be going through the Federal Reserve.

00:57:41.520 She wants to end the banking system as we know it.

00:57:45.660 She's just been put in charge of our banking system and our currency.

00:57:50.700 That's not going to happen.

00:57:51.420 Pardon me?

00:57:52.160 She just was.

00:57:53.840 But I know she was.

00:57:54.600 Well, we're not ending the private banking system.

00:57:56.600 I mean, unless it collapses.

00:57:58.460 Let me ask you about what you just said, because Joe Biden's talking more and more as we see the inflation numbers go up about profiteers.

00:58:05.820 You know, it's instead of him reversing course and saying maybe it's not a great time to pump almost five trillion more dollars into the economy between the one point two trillion infrastructure bill and then the three point five trillion dollar.

00:58:19.600 I love that people just call it now the reconciliation bill.

00:58:22.520 I mean, it's basically just a wish, a wish list of democratic initiatives from the Green New Deal to, you know, voting.

00:58:30.020 You name it.

00:58:30.780 It's all in this three point five trillion.

00:58:33.340 And thankfully, right now, it's a bit stalled.

00:58:35.540 Joe Manchin, his latest number, he said he could support one point five trillion.

00:58:40.160 But people like AOC are saying there's no way if it's only going to be one point five trillion.

00:58:44.340 They're not going to vote for the one point two trillion infrastructure and back and forth.

00:58:47.740 It's all it's kind of stalled right now, but it'd be amazing if they don't find their way to trillions more in spending.

00:58:53.700 Anyway, in the wake of all that, Biden doesn't say maybe I should slow it down.

00:58:56.780 Those inflation numbers are not good.

00:58:58.400 Maybe I should actually do the thoughtful thing and pump the brakes a little.

00:59:03.200 He starts talking about profiteers.

00:59:05.700 And I've heard him mention the meat industry and I've heard him talk about gas.

00:59:10.100 So what's that about?

00:59:11.040 So the meat industry is run by four major corporations.

00:59:16.180 One of them is Chinese.

00:59:17.600 One of them is Brazil.

00:59:20.660 And they control everything.

00:59:23.860 You're seeing meat prices go through the roof.

00:59:26.340 However, the price of cattle is flat or down.

00:59:30.300 So what's up with that?

00:59:32.180 Again, a disconnect from the free market.

00:59:34.900 They have taken these four corporations and just dobbled them up.

00:59:38.980 They're also these four corporations, the leaders in the fake meat industry.

00:59:45.180 One, I think from JBS meat, the CEO has said meat is going to become something for the very wealthy on special occasions.

00:59:56.460 Why is that?

00:59:57.560 Why is that happening?

00:59:58.740 Well, because they're all in on the global warming thing, et cetera, et cetera.

01:00:02.340 So our prices of meat are going through the roof and it is designed to be that way.

01:00:07.660 The way we can fight this is to have local meat packing plants.

01:00:13.760 But there's all kinds of regulations.

01:00:16.440 There's all kinds of regulations that are coming on farmers.

01:00:20.040 Your farmers and your ranchers are going to lose the BLM land.

01:00:23.620 This is why I say, Megan, they are they are they know what they want to do.

01:00:30.380 And with the economy, the dollar will not exist soon.

01:00:36.200 I'm always wrong on timing, but I'm telling you, write this down.

01:00:40.880 The dollar will not exist.

01:00:42.740 The dollar will become a digital currency.

01:00:46.340 That digital currency is going to be done.

01:00:49.000 And this this is all from the Fed.

01:00:50.860 The digital currency is going to be introduced.

01:00:53.380 You'll have maybe up to a year to change your dollars into digital currency.

01:00:57.620 However, those dollars are not going to be exchanged one for one.

01:01:02.780 So when it and it will depend on on who you are.

01:01:07.960 So as a white man with a lot of money, I'm not going to get one for one.

01:01:13.800 I won't even get close.

01:01:15.080 Every time this has happened in the past in America, it's been an even exchange, not a dollar for dollar.

01:01:21.680 But it's everybody's gotten the same and it's usually 60 cents on the dollar.

01:01:26.360 So we've changed currencies twice before you lose about 40 cents on every dollar.

01:01:31.020 That's bad.

01:01:31.840 But if you're in a selected group this time because of equity, you might get one for one.

01:01:39.380 You might even get a dollar 20 for one.

01:01:41.940 Others, not in the select groups, will get 60 cents on the dollar, maybe 40 cents on the dollar.

01:01:50.280 This is their big equity push.

01:01:53.020 That is coming when the dollar, when this reverse repo thing, which is so complex and hard to understand.

01:02:00.700 But basically what they're trying to do is to make sure that our bonds don't go our interest rates and our bonds don't go to zero or below.

01:02:12.600 Nobody's buying our bonds this every night.

01:02:16.440 Now, this last few nights, it's been over a trillion dollars.

01:02:21.140 The banks are pumping in to the Fed to keep our bonds afloat.

01:02:27.400 This is really, really end stage, last flare on the tip of the Titanic as it's going down.

01:02:36.140 When this thing starts to come apart, it's going to come apart quickly and sink quickly.

01:02:43.460 And people need to be prepared for it.

01:02:46.140 They need to understand that the America that they have always lived in, these systems, you know, I had a I had a I started talking about the economy in 2004 and nobody believed me.

01:02:57.400 By 2007, I am I am shooting off flares saying, I'm telling you, a crash is coming.

01:03:02.920 Bad crash.

01:03:04.080 A year later, it happened when I was at a I was at some fundraiser or something in New York and a college professor came up to me and he was from Colombia and he's an economics professor.

01:03:16.340 And he said he started the conversation with.

01:03:19.480 So where did you get your economics degree?

01:03:22.760 And I was I was like, oh, boy, here we go.

01:03:25.260 And I said, I don't have one.

01:03:26.600 I'm self-educated.

01:03:27.780 And he said, I knew it.

01:03:29.540 And I was about to respond, you pompous piece of crap.

01:03:33.620 And he said, I knew it.

01:03:35.440 I can't find a way to get my students to think out of the box like you.

01:03:41.860 And here's the here's what the point he was making.

01:03:44.840 They have so many systems.

01:03:47.140 They have they have so many things that everybody says, oh, well, they're not going to lose all this money.

01:03:52.900 There are there are systems to make sure that we're on track.

01:03:55.760 No, no, there are.

01:03:57.320 But everybody has so blindly bought into these systems that when they start to fall apart, there there is no there's no backup.

01:04:07.760 Well, can you help me understand it?

01:04:09.560 When you say we're not going to have the dollar anymore.

01:04:11.920 I mean, I understand that inflation makes the value of a dollar go down and it's dwindling and dwindling and dwindling.

01:04:18.860 That's why the dollar doesn't get you the thing at Dollar Tree anymore.

01:04:22.100 You need the dollar plus another half dollar.

01:04:24.200 So if that continues to dwindle, dwindle, dwindle to where the dollar is worth next to nothing, what what do you mean?

01:04:30.840 Like, what's next?

01:04:31.920 Digital currency like what?

01:04:33.880 So what does that look like?

01:04:35.700 Here's what's happening.

01:04:36.660 China, Russia and others are already starting to get out of the bond market with us.

01:04:42.320 They're dumping our bonds and they're trying to establish their own currency as the currency, the world reserve currency.

01:04:52.300 The reason why the dollar is what it is, is because so many things like oil must be transacted in dollars.

01:05:02.320 So if you're in another country, you're in Germany and you have the mark, you have to trade that mark in for a U.S. dollar to buy oil.

01:05:11.840 OK, that's what keeps our dollar going is we're the world reserve currency.

01:05:17.500 We're the gold of the world.

01:05:19.760 OK, they all hold dollars in their vaults through bonds.

01:05:24.680 Well, the the world has stopped buying bonds.

01:05:28.520 The only one that are buying U.S.

01:05:30.260 Treasury bonds is the Federal Reserve.

01:05:32.480 And, you know, what you what you have to understand is three point four trillion dollars.

01:05:38.880 Where are we getting that?

01:05:39.740 Well, we sell bonds.

01:05:40.980 Who are we selling bonds to?

01:05:42.320 We're selling to the world.

01:05:43.920 World doesn't want them.

01:05:45.620 So the Federal Reserve buys them with printed money.

01:05:49.280 They've bought all of these bonds.

01:05:51.480 They're trying this is this is part of the thing that they're doing every night with the reverse repo is they're trying to keep that bond from going negative or to zero or nobody will buy it.

01:06:03.720 Or the worst part, let the market take over so that yield goes way up.

01:06:10.420 What that means is, just like anything else, if you go into the bank and you have a great, stable job and you spend money the right way and you're reasonable, you'll get a low interest rate.

01:06:22.580 But the more risky you are, the higher the interest rate.

01:06:27.620 So bonds, when they talk about yield, don't think of it like that.

01:06:30.540 Think of it as we're a really bad risk.

01:06:33.180 And so we have to give these countries 6 percent, 8 percent, 10 percent to borrow that money.

01:06:40.820 Now, here's what you have to understand when you think about the government.

01:06:44.500 Forget about all the fancy things they've dressed it up as.

01:06:47.820 When the government is borrowing money, it's just like you.

01:06:52.380 And our bond sales, our interest rate on that debt is an adjustable mortgage.

01:06:58.940 So every time, every day bonds are bought and sold, the the interest rate that we have to pay out, if it goes up, we're really screwed.

01:07:10.060 If it goes up to 7 percent, we can't make our bills.

01:07:14.360 We can't. We are the worst risk in the world.

01:07:17.580 So everybody's getting out of that, which makes our dollar worth less and less and less.

01:07:22.380 We're printing, which makes our dollar worth less and less and less.

01:07:25.480 Because somebody is going to come up and say, we're the new world reserve currency when that happens.

01:07:31.400 I know. Well, that's where we will be Venezuela.

01:07:33.080 That's where I feel like it falls apart.

01:07:34.520 You know, that's China had major setbacks like who because who's the next best alternative after us?

01:07:40.960 There isn't one.

01:07:42.120 But see, that is that that is assuming that that's all based on that one assumption.

01:07:47.760 And I've been saying it for a long time.

01:07:50.020 We're the floatiest piece of poop in the toilet bowl.

01:07:53.920 But OK, now I'm back to understanding all that bond stuff confused me.

01:07:57.980 But that's all we we're still a piece of poop.

01:08:01.500 OK, at some point, bus piece of poop there.

01:08:05.000 That's that's all we need for right now.

01:08:06.540 I realize it's not great financial policy, but I look around.

01:08:10.280 I don't see even I mean, I was reading up about China just recently.

01:08:13.280 It was like so.

01:08:14.520 It's trouble.

01:08:15.320 Yeah. We were told that they were going to be taking over as the economic leader.

01:08:18.200 No, they're not. No, they're not.

01:08:19.680 You can't in a communist country.

01:08:21.280 It's not going to happen. Russia.

01:08:22.980 No, they're not next in line.

01:08:25.140 Germany. No, too, too small for one thing.

01:08:28.220 So I don't see.

01:08:29.400 But at some point, the math, the math works out.

01:08:33.280 See what the Fed has done is is look at us as a patient.

01:08:37.760 And the Fed is the doctor.

01:08:39.620 Doc, I can't sleep at night.

01:08:41.240 OK, let me give you some sleeping medicine.

01:08:43.620 Come back two weeks later.

01:08:45.040 Doc, sleep is fine.

01:08:46.260 But now I can't stay awake during the day.

01:08:48.060 Great. Here's some amphetamines.

01:08:49.700 Two weeks later, I'm awake during the day.

01:08:52.500 But man, I'm so jittery and my heart is racing.

01:08:54.780 Great. Here's something to help your heart.

01:08:57.220 Now my blood pressure is up.

01:08:58.460 Here's some blood pressure.

01:08:59.800 This was wrong to start with the sleeping pills.

01:09:02.940 OK, they are out of prescriptions.

01:09:07.340 That that's the real problem.

01:09:09.140 There are no more prescriptions to write.

01:09:11.820 You're killing the patient.

01:09:13.440 So the Fed has to just they have to just they become our Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's

01:09:20.760 guy who put him to sleep by force and then ultimately.

01:09:23.060 Yes.

01:09:23.400 Permanently.

01:09:23.940 All right.

01:09:24.200 The good place to leave it for now.

01:09:25.840 Very interesting.

01:09:26.520 I learned a lot.

01:09:27.360 I want to know more.

01:09:28.820 And I hope you're totally wrong.

01:09:30.500 This is my prayer is that you're 100 percent wrong.

01:09:32.360 But I fear like so many of your predictions, Glenn, you're not wrong.

01:09:36.660 I'm telling you.

01:09:37.320 I want to ask you up next about military men speaking out, right, because I know that you

01:09:43.440 spoke to the parents of Lieutenant Colonel Marine Marine Corps, Lieutenant Colonel Stuart

01:09:49.720 Scheller.

01:09:50.520 They came on your show yesterday.

01:09:52.120 And should we be putting guys like Stuart in the brig in solitary confinement for simply

01:09:58.660 asking for accountability at the higher ranks?

01:10:01.980 Love to hear your thoughts on it and your thoughts on how inflation is affecting your life.

01:10:06.280 Call me at 833-44-MEGYN.

01:10:08.780 That's 833-446-3496.

01:10:15.500 Welcome back to The Megyn Kelly Show.

01:10:16.960 My guest today is Glenn Beck, host of the Glenn Beck program on Blaze TV.

01:10:20.800 And we'd love to know your thoughts on Glenn's predictions when it comes to the economy, on

01:10:24.740 how inflation is affecting your life, on anything that we've discussed today.

01:10:28.620 Call me at 833-44-MEGYN.

01:10:31.580 That's 833-446-3496.

01:10:34.100 Yeah, Glenn.

01:10:34.500 Megan, may I just I just want to say one more thing on the economy.

01:10:37.740 Please, you may not believe me at all, but I have a pretty good track record on bad timing.

01:10:44.500 But I'm telling you, please prepare for impact.

01:10:48.000 Well, how are you going to see how I would be stuffing my money in my mattress, but that's

01:10:51.840 not going to do me any good, according to this plan.

01:10:53.760 What should I do?

01:10:54.500 Well, you should have you should decrease your your spending as much as you can.

01:11:00.580 Um, you should get your life and your finances in order as much as you can.

01:11:06.020 Um, you should have basic supplies.

01:11:09.840 I mean, you're going to see empty shelves.

01:11:12.240 If you do just do this, go shopping for Christmas.

01:11:15.340 If you have kids this week, you will not find things on the shelves at Christmas.

01:11:21.560 Um, it's going to be a different kind of scenario next year.

01:11:26.440 We're going to have a breakdown in the supply chain, uh, and you will find empty shelves a

01:11:32.080 lot of places.

01:11:33.040 You will not recognize your country a year from now.

01:11:37.120 We are about to pay for many of the things, not all, but many of the things we are now

01:11:43.340 doing or have done in the last 10 years.

01:11:45.500 With or without 3.5 trillion and 1.2 trillion that they're debating right now.

01:11:49.900 Yeah, I am.

01:11:51.640 Can I tell you just, just anecdotally, we're building a little, like little small, like

01:11:57.220 studio, frankly, I'm building a little studio and, um, we got an estimate and they came in

01:12:03.260 and this was the number.

01:12:04.460 And then it's kind of sat there for eight months because we were waiting for approval and

01:12:09.180 all that to go through with the town.

01:12:10.660 Um, and now we just rounded back, the budget has literally doubled.

01:12:14.900 It's gone up a hundred percent.

01:12:16.920 So, um, just because I'm in the middle, I'm in the middle of building something out West

01:12:22.380 as well.

01:12:23.480 Um, I've been working on it for two years, uh, and it's had such slowdowns because I have

01:12:30.340 to use steel and everything else.

01:12:32.360 Concrete was a problem.

01:12:33.640 It's gone up over a hundred percent as well.

01:12:36.100 And when I looked at what's happening with the banks last night of $1.6 trillion and

01:12:43.760 coupled with the fact they're going to raise interest rates next year, um, this weekend,

01:12:48.140 I'm having a serious conversation with my wife.

01:12:50.300 I think I should stop all construction.

01:12:52.260 Just bear, just bury, just bury the foundation.

01:12:55.240 Just stop because I think next year is, is the beginning.

01:12:59.640 I mean, I'm, I'm going to start doing research on if I can find anybody that can tell me what

01:13:05.960 they wish they would have done in Venezuela.

01:13:09.040 You now have 70% living in abject poverty.

01:13:13.400 That was one of the most successful capitalist, uh, countries in the Western hemisphere.

01:13:20.220 Um, and it's, they're eating dogs.

01:13:24.320 So what did they do?

01:13:25.980 All right.

01:13:26.220 Let me ask you a question.

01:13:27.180 Let me ask you a question as a friend.

01:13:28.320 Do you feel like, cause you, I've been following you for a long, long time and you know, I'm

01:13:33.000 your number one fan, but do you feel like sometimes your predictions have a tendency to

01:13:36.400 be too catastrophic?

01:13:38.060 Um, uh, no, uh, yes and no.

01:13:42.140 Um, the timing is usually way off.

01:13:47.220 Um, and so what I thought was going to happen in 08 with the economy, it didn't all come to

01:13:55.360 fruition because they broke the free market to save the free market.

01:14:00.300 It would have been, they would have been that bad.

01:14:03.940 Now, what they've done is made things worse.

01:14:08.340 And so what's coming now, I wasn't saying there was going to be an end of a dollar in

01:14:13.840 08.

01:14:14.580 I was just to say, we're going to hit a depression.

01:14:16.620 And if you listen to everybody who knows anything, that's what they were saying.

01:14:20.660 We have to have tarp.

01:14:21.920 We have to bail everybody out.

01:14:23.360 Otherwise it would have closed down the entire world, the economy.

01:14:26.620 We've been in the depression.

01:14:28.080 Okay.

01:14:28.780 So, all right.

01:14:29.900 That's what I was saying back then, but it didn't go so deep because they, they fudged

01:14:35.020 it.

01:14:35.640 Yeah.

01:14:35.780 The only thing that the only thing that would stop this is, I don't know some other magic

01:14:42.280 trick, but it will only make it worse in the end.

01:14:46.340 I don't know.

01:14:47.300 I mean, I feel like it's not my prediction was we're going to, we're not going to recognize

01:14:50.460 our country someday that the Marxists are going to be running things.

01:14:54.380 I mean, look, you're not wrong there.

01:14:56.220 And, and that's happened at a very rapid pace in the past couple of years.

01:15:00.060 The acceleration has been very jarring, um, very disturbing.

01:15:04.480 I, I want to shift gears because I, we teased a couple of other stories that I really wanted

01:15:07.640 to get your take on.

01:15:08.480 And I'll start with this one because it's fast.

01:15:10.020 I think Kamala Harris is now trying to do damage control for her ridiculous nonsense when

01:15:15.120 it came to a student's comment about Israel.

01:15:17.640 She was at George Mason university, uh, uh, one of these, you know, far left woke college

01:15:22.680 students made some comment about Israel and she had an absurd response that she's still

01:15:27.540 now trying to clean up.

01:15:28.460 Here's the clip.

01:15:29.240 Over the summer, there have been like protests and demonstrations and astronomical numbers

01:15:35.220 standing with Palestine.

01:15:36.560 But then just a few days ago, there were funds allocated to continue backing Israel, which

01:15:41.840 hurts my heart because it's an ethnic genocide.

01:15:44.860 And this is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth

01:15:50.600 cannot be suppressed and it must be heard.

01:15:54.880 Oh my Lord.

01:15:56.280 That's her truth.

01:15:56.920 I can't take your truth anymore.

01:15:58.640 Shut up.

01:15:58.920 Neither can I.

01:15:59.840 Same.

01:16:00.260 Let's talk about the real truth.

01:16:02.240 Sheesh.

01:16:03.440 Yeah.

01:16:03.700 They're committing a genocide.

01:16:04.900 Really?

01:16:05.180 And the vice president of the United States says your truth.

01:16:07.580 What?

01:16:07.820 Yeah.

01:16:08.900 Yeah.

01:16:09.500 First of all, they're not committing a genocide.

01:16:11.980 Uh, you know, who is committing a genocide?

01:16:13.960 China.

01:16:14.600 And we're doing nothing about it.

01:16:16.440 Um, this, this kind of your truth, um, you know, has to be heard.

01:16:22.120 Well, what about the people who like me could go into a university and say, uh, that's not

01:16:27.780 true about Israel.

01:16:28.740 In fact, Israel is one of the more amazing countries in the world for what they have done

01:16:33.740 for progress and, and society and medicine and everything else.

01:16:38.800 Um, there are completely alone.

01:16:41.320 They're being attacked all the time.

01:16:43.120 And what would you do if they were lobbying, uh, rockets, uh, at your house?

01:16:49.500 What would you do?

01:16:51.020 Would you say, Oh, you know what?

01:16:52.260 Let's sit down and talk to these people.

01:16:53.600 When they clearly say, we want to kill you and make sure you can't live here.

01:16:59.460 I don't know.

01:17:00.880 Um, but my truth, my truth can't be heard.

01:17:04.300 It's well, that's exactly right.

01:17:05.980 So Glenn, can I tell you?

01:17:07.020 So, so it's so absurd.

01:17:09.120 Of course on Israel, that's the, where she decides to say this nonsense, right?

01:17:13.320 Your truth cannot be suppressed.

01:17:14.760 She goes on to say, our goal should be unity, but not uniformity.

01:17:18.480 Unity should never be at the expense of telling any one person for the sake of unity.

01:17:22.140 Oh, you be quiet about that thing from this administration.

01:17:26.500 Who does she think she's kidding?

01:17:28.880 Does she want to look at the January 6th protesters and tell them their truth ought to be expressed?

01:17:34.680 Because that's not really the messaging we've had on that subject or any other from the Democrats

01:17:40.720 who are now in charge.

01:17:42.060 Can I ask you a question that I just don't know the answer to anymore?

01:17:46.280 I used to know the, I had a good read of the American people.

01:17:50.080 I'm not sure I know who they are anymore.

01:17:54.240 Do the people who voted for Biden, but weren't zombies?

01:17:58.360 I mean, the regular Democrats, the regular, are there any regular Democrats?

01:18:02.880 And why do I, why is no one going on the Democratic side?

01:18:07.900 Like, okay, I mean, look, we didn't want Trump, but we know this is nuts.

01:18:12.900 They are there.

01:18:13.720 I do know the answer to that because look, if there's one advantage of living and still,

01:18:18.240 I still, I live in a blue state and I've been in New York for almost my entire life.

01:18:22.180 A little stint in Illinois, also very blue.

01:18:24.980 It's that everyone I know is a Democrat.

01:18:27.060 Every single friend I have, I've got like two Republican friends.

01:18:29.780 Um, and they're, they're good and they're honest and they, you know, they, they like

01:18:34.620 a little bigger government.

01:18:35.960 They want a government safety net.

01:18:37.900 Um, they don't make a lot of money.

01:18:40.080 And so they think Republicans are for rich people.

01:18:42.300 You know what I mean?

01:18:42.600 They, they don't want to see corporate tax cuts and they understand it may trickle down,

01:18:45.860 but you know, I, I can go through the, they pro environment, blah, blah, blah.

01:18:49.760 They are not on board with this nonsense.

01:18:52.940 No.

01:18:53.340 And by the way, they don't like her and they don't like the real version of Joe Biden,

01:18:57.780 as opposed to the one that ran.

01:18:59.540 And I'm hearing it from my friends who are flaming liberals, who are hard lefties when

01:19:05.340 it comes to economic policy and so on.

01:19:07.040 They can't believe this nonsense.

01:19:09.600 So Megan, I have been trying to convince a couple of members of the Senate, um, to actually

01:19:15.600 stand up on, on both sides of the aisle and say, you people aren't serious about any of

01:19:20.400 it.

01:19:20.540 You know, you, you Republicans, you say you're for a low spending and all of this stuff with

01:19:26.160 the constitution, but look what you've done.

01:19:28.040 Yeah.

01:19:28.320 Unless Trump's the Democrats and you Democrats, you say this, but you know what?

01:19:33.120 I, as a Senator and this guy is a Congressman and this guy's a Democrat and I'm a Republic.

01:19:38.460 We're done with all of you.

01:19:39.720 We're done with all of you.

01:19:40.840 Here's what we believe.

01:19:42.340 We believe these truths are still self-evident.

01:19:46.220 And because you keep wrapping things in, in, in things that split us and, and, and make

01:19:53.800 us all mad and you say you're fixing a problem, but what you're actually doing is undermining

01:19:59.520 the constitution every step of the way.

01:20:01.880 So I'm not going to talk to you about your policy proposals if it violates the constitution

01:20:07.880 in any way, because the only way out, the only way to be able to unite this country again

01:20:14.760 is to unite on what we originally united on all men and women and everybody created equal,

01:20:22.620 and they have certain rights and governments are instituted to protect those rights, period.

01:20:29.760 Not to protect me when Joe Biden says, uh, well, I just have to keep everybody safe.

01:20:34.420 No, you don't.

01:20:35.180 That's not your job.

01:20:36.000 And I know this sounds really horrible, but this is what happens when you go to war, when

01:20:40.680 something is really bad, people choose to go to war.

01:20:45.220 When we went to world war two, we said, we're willing to die.

01:20:50.520 So my children will have the right to live and live the way they want to.

01:20:56.700 That's the same thing with COVID.

01:20:58.520 If you have to take away people's rights to be able to survive this, then let me go into

01:21:05.600 work.

01:21:06.160 Let me be one of the firefighters like in Chernobyl that tried to put it out and tried to save

01:21:11.220 everybody.

01:21:11.600 And they all knew they were going to die.

01:21:13.840 Let me be that person.

01:21:15.560 I'll do that.

01:21:16.480 Don't take away the rights of my children.

01:21:20.420 This is reminding me, it's a good segue into Stuart Scheller, because I know you spoke with

01:21:25.480 his parents.

01:21:25.960 He's a Marine Lieutenant Colonel.

01:21:27.520 He's sitting in the brig in solitary confinement right now for doing something that's not allowed.

01:21:32.080 I concede what he did is not allowed.

01:21:35.000 In uniform, he criticized up the chain of command and for good reason.

01:21:38.620 I mean, we all know why Afghanistan has been a disaster.

01:21:40.580 The withdrawal of disaster.

01:21:42.300 He wants to see accountability.

01:21:43.760 We've had absolutely none of it.

01:21:45.500 As it turns out, the only person in military uniform who's going to be held accountable

01:21:48.800 for anything appears to be Stuart Scheller.

01:21:51.260 And his parents were saying, you've got to have a steel spine to send a child into the

01:21:57.260 military in these circumstances in today's day and age.

01:22:01.020 For reasons that have become so painfully obvious to us all, we have a little soundbite

01:22:05.480 of you speaking to his parents.

01:22:08.000 Let's listen.

01:22:08.400 We are a nation in revolution, and I believe your son is the first political prisoner in

01:22:13.940 this revolution.

01:22:16.260 We agree.

01:22:16.860 We agree.

01:22:17.460 When someone first said to me, is your son a political prisoner?

01:22:20.320 We had to look up the definition.

01:22:22.960 We didn't even know what that would be in the United States of America.

01:22:27.620 But it fits.

01:22:29.500 You know, Glenn, I've always respected you and your knowledge of the Constitution and the

01:22:35.860 Bill of Rights. I'm going to tell you, you and I both know.

01:22:40.440 We're living history right now.

01:22:42.600 Oh, we are.

01:22:44.280 Hmm.

01:22:44.880 Those poor parents.

01:22:46.460 This guy's sitting in solitary confinement.

01:22:49.080 Glenn, why?

01:22:50.360 Like he's some threat to America?

01:22:52.720 Right.

01:22:53.140 Well, let's take this twofold.

01:22:55.620 What's happening here is the Bubba effect.

01:22:57.720 Something I talked about with special forces back in 2004, and I asked them off air, what

01:23:04.000 is it that you are really worried about?

01:23:05.980 And they said the Bubba effect.

01:23:07.320 And I said, I don't know what that is.

01:23:09.100 The Bubba effect is when let's just say this is the example they gave then.

01:23:14.180 But you'll you'll see how it correlates here.

01:23:16.420 Um, when there's another big terrorist attack, but the federal government has been puts playing

01:23:22.080 footsie with, you know, um, uh, really dangerous people and trying to convince the Americans

01:23:28.880 that there is no difference between a Muslim and an Islamist.

01:23:32.220 There's a huge difference and people know the difference.

01:23:35.260 Uh, and, uh, the government just doesn't do anything, doesn't do anything.

01:23:39.620 Then there's another big terrorist attack.

01:23:41.100 Well, Bubba, who's working at a convenience store, who doesn't know the difference between

01:23:46.740 a Muslim and Islamist and a, and a Sikh, a guy comes in with a turban and Bubba shoots

01:23:53.340 him and everybody knows, oh, dear God, Bubba, what did you do?

01:23:58.460 Yeah.

01:23:58.720 I mean, Bubba, but when the feds come into town, the town says, excuse me, you're not going

01:24:07.820 to take Bubba.

01:24:08.800 We'll deal with Bubba.

01:24:10.280 What he did was wrong and he'll pay for it.

01:24:13.360 But you people were the ones that screwed this whole thing up in the first place because

01:24:19.440 you have been ignoring the real issue.

01:24:24.080 So what happened here is he did something wrong.

01:24:28.140 He should not have made that video in uniform, in office.

01:24:31.920 He should have resigned first.

01:24:33.340 So there has to be some payment because we cannot, uh, have, uh, justice here.

01:24:40.000 If, if he does, if he goes off scot-free.

01:24:43.000 Okay.

01:24:43.720 But what's happening is there's no mercy.

01:24:46.620 There's no mercy.

01:24:47.960 They are, they are putting him through this to set an example.

01:24:52.440 You shut your mouth.

01:24:55.360 The same thing with the January 6th, uh, guys, what they did was wrong and there needs to

01:25:00.540 be justice.

01:25:01.600 Uh, and it, it has, they have to pay a price for that.

01:25:04.180 However, to be in solitary confinement, to have a misdemeanor and have the judges saying,

01:25:08.980 I don't think that's strong enough.

01:25:10.480 We should put them in jail for the first time.

01:25:13.000 Jail for misdemeanors.

01:25:15.060 No, that's sending a message to the rest of the country.

01:25:18.440 Don't you dare come here.

01:25:20.120 Don't you dare get together in your little groups and protests because we'll get you.

01:25:24.600 We'll find a way to get you.

01:25:26.700 That's a problem.

01:25:28.180 That's a problem.

01:25:29.720 It's so, so true.

01:25:31.280 And so well said, and don't believe her for the sake of unity.

01:25:35.020 Oh, you be quiet about that thing.

01:25:36.680 That should never happen.

01:25:39.100 Sure.

01:25:39.860 Okay.

01:25:40.920 Um, as you said earlier, don't look at what they say, look at what they do.

01:25:45.020 And they've been trying to silence their dissenters, their critics from the moment he took office.

01:25:50.520 It's one of the reasons why people are starting to see what he really is as opposed.

01:25:57.580 How are we to know?

01:25:58.520 He was in the basement.

01:25:59.960 As I said, 44% was a not Trump vote.

01:26:02.540 Well, now you're seeing what Joe Biden really stands for.

01:26:05.900 And there's going to be a real reckoning, I think, in 2022 and certainly 24 about whether

01:26:10.920 people are behind that.

01:26:12.620 Glenn, my God, it's you're always you're not only my friend, you're my teacher.

01:26:17.180 You always have been.

01:26:18.060 It's such a pleasure getting your perspective.

01:26:20.440 Love, love, love spending time with you.

01:26:22.360 Likewise.

01:26:22.800 Thank you so much, Megan.

01:26:23.820 God bless.

01:26:24.600 Isn't he amazing?

01:26:25.160 Um, OK, so are you going to are you going to take Glenn's advice?

01:26:28.280 Are you going to start Christmas shopping right now?

01:26:30.020 Stock up on supplies, toilet paper, all that spend less.

01:26:32.700 Would love to hear from you on all of it.

01:26:34.980 Call me at 833-44-MEGYN.

01:26:37.840 If you call now, we're talking right after this break.

01:26:40.120 So we'll get the calls on right now.

01:26:42.460 This is your chance.

01:26:43.400 833-446-3496.

01:26:49.940 We're going to take our first caller, who is number three, Dennis in Iowa.

01:26:54.480 How are you doing, Dennis?

01:26:55.660 I'm doing great, Megan.

01:26:56.740 How are you doing?

01:26:57.800 Good.

01:26:58.020 What's on your mind?

01:26:58.960 I used to be a chauffeur.

01:27:00.780 I was even your chauffeur.

01:27:02.920 Oh.

01:27:03.320 When you came to Des Moines, Iowa.

01:27:05.420 Oh, very nice.

01:27:06.280 How was I?

01:27:07.100 Was I a nice person?

01:27:07.860 I did three of the elections.

01:27:08.580 You were a very nice person, along with your assistant.

01:27:12.200 Oh, she's right here, Abigail.

01:27:14.280 Very nice.

01:27:15.100 Thank you.

01:27:16.780 Okay.

01:27:17.800 I did three elections.

01:27:19.700 I started in the Obama era.

01:27:25.320 And I had a, you know, he was, your last guest was really making things click.

01:27:32.020 Um, I do believe that, uh, that China would be the next power because, um, he was making

01:27:41.820 things click with them and I just went blank.

01:27:44.340 No, no, it's okay.

01:27:45.640 I, I, I know.

01:27:47.140 I think, listen, when you, when you were driving around all these like muckety mucks, not me,

01:27:51.660 but the other muckety mucks, did you talk economic policy with them?

01:27:56.880 We, as a chauffeur, are not allowed to, uh, talk politics.

01:28:02.760 But yes, uh, there were bankers that I took and they were talking about it during the Clinton

01:28:09.200 Trump administration about how they were gearing up for Clinton to win, how their, uh, interest

01:28:17.500 rates were going to go up and they were going to cut back on people being able to get loans

01:28:23.420 and things like that.

01:28:25.160 And, uh, there was like only one, uh, guy that was like, we really need Trump to win

01:28:31.820 because that's going to open up our banking again.

01:28:34.960 So little, little did they know, Dennis, I mean, thanks for calling in.

01:28:38.160 I feel like the Trump economy, we forgot about it.

01:28:41.000 COVID hit and then we forgot about it, but it was sailing.

01:28:43.360 We, it was robust.

01:28:44.800 We were on a great trajectory and, um, yes, he was a spender.

01:28:48.660 So some of this would have come back eventually, but the, the drunken sailing spending has been

01:28:52.760 downright scary since Joe Biden took office and they're about to drop another 5 trillion,

01:28:56.940 5 trillion without even thinking about it.

01:28:58.960 Tiffany in Florida, number one, what's on your mind?

01:29:01.160 Hi.

01:29:01.940 Hey, Megan, how are you doing today?

01:29:03.700 Good.

01:29:03.960 Thanks.

01:29:04.200 How about you?

01:29:05.220 I'm good.

01:29:05.820 Good.

01:29:06.140 So, um, yeah, I wanted to talk about education.

01:29:08.780 The National School Board Association recently came out and said that parents that are coming

01:29:13.260 and speaking to school boards are, are somehow maybe domestic terrorists.

01:29:16.880 Did you see that?

01:29:18.340 I did see this story.

01:29:19.680 So the headline was like, school board wants to designate parents terrorists.

01:29:24.480 And I was like, oh, come on.

01:29:25.360 And I click on it and it says, okay, if, if threats are made by parents to the school board,

01:29:30.180 they ought to be, we ought to be able to use the domestic terrorism act to get them.

01:29:33.980 All right.

01:29:34.860 Okay.

01:29:35.780 I see where they're going.

01:29:37.060 And then you read further and it, and the, the, the terrorist threat or the threats that

01:29:41.680 are being made to the school board encompass objecting to their plans.

01:29:45.940 And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you want to write a letter to your school school board

01:29:50.560 saying, do what I say, or, you know, I'm going to hurt you.

01:29:52.960 Yeah.

01:29:53.360 You're in trouble, but I object to what you're doing.

01:29:56.300 Like the thing, the story we did yesterday, I object to you putting child pornography into

01:30:00.700 the school library that no, and you know that that's exactly how they're going to use it.

01:30:04.960 They're going to try to silence dissent.

01:30:06.420 We've been talking about the whole show.

01:30:08.440 So yeah, that's, that is controversial.

01:30:10.240 And it's actually one of the things we didn't get to cover today, but yes, I have the same

01:30:14.580 interest as you do, Tiffany, and following up on that.

01:30:16.860 I hope, I hope we, I hope we do get to talk about it at some point.

01:30:20.020 I served as a school board member here in Florida and I just, from 2016 to 2020, I just

01:30:24.880 found out my local school board wants to remove citizen input from the meeting before the

01:30:29.640 meeting starts and they're not going to record it or publish it anymore.

01:30:33.040 And so that's out for public notice right now.

01:30:34.980 I know it's crazy.

01:30:35.700 No, be loud, be, be as loud as possible.

01:30:38.880 And if they won't let you speak at the school board, you come on the show, you speak here.

01:30:42.160 We've got to fight that.

01:30:43.520 Absolutely.

01:30:44.060 We started a group called Moms for Liberty and we're uniting parents around the country.

01:30:47.700 I love Moms for Liberty.

01:30:49.200 I went down and I spoke to Moms for Liberty a couple of weeks, a couple of months ago in

01:30:52.940 Orlando and it was amazing.

01:30:54.060 And I love what you guys are doing because more and more groups like this need to get together

01:30:58.660 and fight back.

01:30:59.500 The poor women who started it, one of them had feces dropped on her, her, her home door.

01:31:06.020 I mean, they put you through a lot if you speak up, but speak up.

01:31:09.600 We must.

01:31:10.100 Otherwise, you see the fight.

01:31:11.420 Tiffany, thank you.

01:31:12.200 I appreciate it.

01:31:13.420 I want to get to Matt in Indiana and your thoughts, Matt.

01:31:16.700 What's on your mind?

01:31:17.640 Hi.

01:31:17.800 Good morning, Megan.

01:31:19.380 Just wanted to talk about how I was listening to you and Glenn talk about inflation and

01:31:24.120 I am a commercial motor vehicle salesperson and our cost of goods, for instance, on trailers,

01:31:30.060 I sell a certain type of trailer.

01:31:32.040 And in March, I sold the trailer at $32,000.

01:31:35.020 Today, that trailer is over $40,000.

01:31:38.240 Wow.

01:31:38.920 So, you know, bodies for just dump trucks, over $13,000 for less equipment in a matter

01:31:48.160 of six months.

01:31:49.300 Yes.

01:31:49.720 Right.

01:31:49.940 The cost of steel and everything that's going on with order boards for these order or OEM

01:31:57.420 manufacturers, they're sold out, can't get equipment.

01:32:02.040 It's just all ties into what Glenn was saying with the inflation that's going on due to the

01:32:06.220 printing of the money.

01:32:07.960 And that gets passed on.

01:32:09.060 You know, it's not like it stops with you, right?

01:32:11.900 Eventually, it hits the consumer's wallet and they feel it, too.

01:32:14.980 And it's in part why Joe Biden's approval ratings are going down, because you heard somebody in

01:32:18.580 their pocketbook, they will hold it against you politically.

01:32:21.700 I think we're all feeling it.

01:32:23.240 You know, you just sort of even whether you have money or you don't, you're feeling it.

01:32:26.580 But people who don't have a lot of dough, who have an average of if this $1,000 in the

01:32:32.020 bank, really feel it.

01:32:33.560 And there's no telling people to not believe their lying eyes, that they're going to believe

01:32:38.760 what, you know, what they feel.

01:32:40.640 OK, Ted, Minnesota, what's on your mind?

01:32:42.760 Number four.

01:32:43.900 Yes, Megan, great show.

01:32:45.320 Say, just want to add a little bit to the to the academic discourse of Glenn Beck.

01:32:51.580 Yes, inflation is a balance between the supply and demand of currency and the supply and

01:32:56.860 demand of goods and services.

01:32:57.980 And the way people like Donald Trump deal with it is to get rid of stupid regulations, make

01:33:04.820 sure there's an ample supply of energy.

01:33:06.840 And that means oil.

01:33:08.340 That means nuclear.

01:33:09.440 And the rest takes care of itself.

01:33:12.100 The the way that liberals deal with it is exactly the wrong way.

01:33:16.480 They put stupid regulations on productivity.

01:33:19.580 They're they're phobic when it comes to nuclear phobic when it comes to oil.

01:33:24.580 And then they say, well, how are we going to pay for this?

01:33:26.700 Oh, well, go to the Federal Reserve and print up some more money because money is what we

01:33:32.380 need.

01:33:32.880 If you look at Venezuela and other communist countries, that's what they do.

01:33:36.300 They do stupid stuff to control their their productivity.

01:33:39.620 And then they print up phony money and they run away with runaway inflation.

01:33:44.020 It's really scary.

01:33:44.960 And we get messages as they're trying to put another five trillion into the economy right

01:33:49.720 now saying it's going to cost zero.

01:33:52.080 You know, that three point five trillion, it's totally going to be zero because they're going

01:33:54.840 to pay for it with higher taxes on small businesses, which are the ones who employ the

01:33:58.860 people who won't be employing the people anymore because they're going to get hit with these

01:34:02.600 taxes.

01:34:03.480 And those same people are going to have to pay more out of their pocket in order to sustain

01:34:06.180 their lives.

01:34:06.860 And you tell me what that means for our electoral politics.

01:34:09.400 Got to leave it at that.

01:34:10.080 You guys, thank you all for calling in.

01:34:11.320 Thank you all for listening next week on the show.

01:34:13.380 I mean, my my guru, Victor Davis Hanson.
