Speaker 4 It is showing you exactly in real time on your screen what's happening to your gun right before you fire, As you fire, what are you doing? How are you pulling the trigger? Are you pushing down?

Speaker 4 Are you pulling off to one side? Are you going up? That's what Mantis X does. And it 90%, what is it, like 94% of the shooters improve within 20 minutes?

Speaker 4 Got no room to copy mine.

Speaker 4 We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

Speaker 4 Stand upside and hold the life.

Speaker 4 It's a new day, our time to rise.

Speaker 4 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 4 This is

Speaker 4 the Glen Beck Program.

Speaker 4 Well, hello, America. Welcome to the Glen Beck program.
I want to play something for you.

Speaker 4 This is a Democrat representative claiming Trump has made millions in foreign dollars and Biden hasn't done anything. Listen to this.

Speaker 5 To do a serious analysis of what the laws should be about money making.

Speaker 6 And you would take part in a serious investment. Yes, of course we would.

Speaker 5 And we're going to release a report about all of the foreign government emoluments, millions of dollars we can document document that Donald Trump pocketed at the hotels, at the golf courses through business deals when he was president, and that his family got.

Speaker 5 But they've not laid a glove on Joe Biden as president. They haven't been able to show any criminal corruption on his part.

Speaker 5 What they've got is Hunter Biden, and we all seem clear that this guy was addicted to drugs and did a lot of really unlawful and wrong things. And we have said, let the justice system run its course.

Speaker 5 They're not saying that about Donald Trump. Anytime Donald Trump actually gets indicted after a grand jury has already determined that there's probably a problem.

Speaker 4 They attack the prosecutors. They attack the prosecutors.
They attack the judges. They attack the system.

Speaker 5 For them, Donald Trump could never be able to do it.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to belong that answer. Yeah, thanks, ABC.
You are very fair and balanced. Okay.

Speaker 4 I'm going to take those two things on. I'm going to compare the two cases.
All right, we'll do that in 60 seconds.

Speaker 4 It's not often, but every once in a while, the most irritating things in life turn out to be the easiest things to fix. Sometimes I have a really hard time getting to sleep.
I don't know about you.

Speaker 4 I sometimes just lay there and I cannot turn my brain off. And you stare at the ceiling for hours and then you toss and turn.

Speaker 4 Or then you wake up at two o'clock in the morning, you're like, oh my gosh, I have to be up in three hours. And you can't fall asleep.
May I suggest relief factor sleep.

Speaker 4 It is unlike any drug that you might take that'll put you to sleep. You don't feel this in your body at all.
It's 100%

Speaker 4 drug-free. So I don't think Janet Yellen is taking any of this while she's over in China next time.

Speaker 4 I know from experience it works. Just try it.
Feel the difference. I felt it on the first night.
First bottle is 1995.

Speaker 4 Get the complete feeling of relaxation and contentment as you drift away into a good night's sleep. Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800, the number four relief.

Speaker 4 800, the number four relief relief factor.com dream big and sleep tight

Speaker 4 okay i want to uh just compare a couple of things first of all let's look at the georgia case on donald trump what does he what what does the actual indictment say

Speaker 4 okay

Speaker 4 well uh let me just give you a rundown of some of the conspiratorial acts. The Fulton County prosecutor indicted Meadows for soliciting phone numbers from a pair of Pennsylvania lawmakers.

Speaker 4 Hey, can you give me the phone number of this guy and this guy?

Speaker 4 Meadows, I'm quoting.

Speaker 4 Meadows sent a text message to United States Representative Scott Perry from Pennsylvania and stated, can you send me the number for the speaker and the leader of the Pennsylvania legislator?

Speaker 4 POTUS wants to chat with him.

Speaker 4 The document then reads, this was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.

Speaker 4 Act 22 cited the Georgia indictment charged Trump with conspiracy for encouraging supporters to watch

Speaker 4 One American News Network. He wrote, quote, Georgia hearings now on One American News, amazing.

Speaker 4 This was quoting, this was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.

Speaker 4 Act 100 of the indictment faulted the president for encouraging supporters to tune in to Newsmax.

Speaker 4 Act 101 listed another tweet that encouraged supporters to tune in to the right-side broadcasting network as an act of conspiracy. Act 38 of the criminal indictment charged Giuliani for

Speaker 4 retweeting a patriot call to action that encourages voters to call their members of Congress. The tweet stated, Georgia Patriot Call to Action.

Speaker 4 Today is the day we need you to call your state house and state reps and ask them to sign the petition for a special session.

Speaker 4 We must have free and fair elections in Georgia, and this is our only path to ensuring every legal vote is counted. This was an overt act in furtherance of a conspiracy.
Okay.

Speaker 4 I could go on.

Speaker 4 Defendant David Schaefer, indicted for reserving a room at the Georgia Capitol in December 2020. Reserving the room, which was used for a meeting of

Speaker 4 alternate presidential electors, declared an overt act of furtherance of the conspiracy. Act 32, criminal indictment, charged Trump for calling the Georgia state

Speaker 4 leaders to ensure signature verification and call for a special session. This

Speaker 4 was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. Act 45, Michael Roman

Speaker 4 is faulted for requesting an unidentified, unindicted co-conspirator to encourage the co-defendant Misty Hampton to attend a House committee hearing in Georgia on election fraud.

Speaker 4 This was an overt act in furtherance of a conspiracy. Okay, I think you get it.
I think you get it. Now, let me look at the Biden case because he said they got nothing on Biden.
Nothing.

Speaker 4 Here's what we do have right now.

Speaker 4 Biden

Speaker 4 record, records obtained through the subcommittee subpoenas reveal that Bidens and their family members, their associates, have received over $20 million in payments from foreign entities.

Speaker 4 So this isn't just about Hunter.

Speaker 4 In Romania, September 28, 2015, Vice President Biden welcomed Romanian President Klaus Indoninus, or whatever, to the White House.

Speaker 4 Within five weeks of this meeting, a Romanian businessman involved with a high-profile corruption prosecution in Romania began depositing a Biden associate's bank account, which ultimately made their way into the Biden family accounts.

Speaker 4 He made 16 of the 17 payments, totaling over $3 million to the Biden Associate account while Joe Biden was vice president. Biden family accounts ultimately received approximately $1.38 million.

Speaker 4 The total amount from Romania to the Biden family and their associates is over 3 million. Now,

Speaker 4 the Biden family, what exactly were they selling to this Romanian cat?

Speaker 4 Now,

Speaker 4 they keep saying this is just about Hunter Biden, who did some, clearly we all know he did some very, you know, some illegal things. Oh, we clearly know that now?

Speaker 4 Because you clearly have said he hasn't done any of those things. The president said specifically, my son has done nothing wrong.
Correct. But now we clearly know.
No, we all know now.

Speaker 4 We all know now. Okay.

Speaker 4 In China on March 1st, 2017, less than two months after Vice President Joe Biden left public office, State Energy HK Limited, a Chinese company, wired $3 million to the Biden's associates account.

Speaker 4 This is the same bank account used in the Romanian

Speaker 4 scandal. After the Chinese company wired the Biden Associate account with $3 million, the Bidens received approximately $1.65,692

Speaker 4 over a three-month period in different bank accounts. Additionally, the chairman gave Hunter Biden a diamond worth $80,000.

Speaker 4 Lastly,

Speaker 4 CEFC created a joint venture with the Bidens in the summer of 2017. The timeline lays out the WhatsApp messages and subsequent wires from the Chinese to the Bidens of $100,000 and then $5 million.

Speaker 4 The total amount from China, specifically with CEFC and their related entities, to the Biden family and associates is over $8 million.

Speaker 4 Those are just two. I mean,

Speaker 4 I've got six of these. Those are just two.

Speaker 4 Now,

Speaker 4 I would think that you don't have to get them on a conspiracy charge.

Speaker 4 See, a conspiracy charge, what is a conspiracy?

Speaker 4 It's a meeting between two people

Speaker 4 that agree to do something.

Speaker 4 That's all it is. I've met with Stu, and we've agreed to do something.

Speaker 4 And then a furtherance of that is me meeting with Stu again.

Speaker 4 Or me calling somebody and saying, hey, I need to book a room for Stu.

Speaker 4 That's a conspiracy.

Speaker 4 The effect of a conspiracy, however, is to discredit people.

Speaker 4 Oh,

Speaker 4 they're part of a global cabal.

Speaker 4 Now, they call us conspiracy theorists, but then charge us with conspiracy.

Speaker 4 Anybody who was

Speaker 4 with Donald Trump on saying, I don't think that election was fair,

Speaker 4 apparently part of the conspiracy. You were just furthering this conspiracy.

Speaker 4 Okay,

Speaker 4 alrighty.

Speaker 4 So, wait, you're getting us on booking a room?

Speaker 4 You're getting us for texting a

Speaker 4 state legislator saying I need the numbers? Really?

Speaker 4 Okay, all right. I think,

Speaker 4 I think the $5 million

Speaker 4 from China, the $8 million total to the family and associates, I think that's a little bigger. And I think that it's clear what's happening once somebody just asks a simple question.

Speaker 4 What did the family do for the $5 million?

Speaker 4 I mean,

Speaker 4 I know that, and this is illegal, I know that you were selling the illusion

Speaker 4 Hunter Biden was, but he was all by himself, right? He was just doing this himself. He's just a crack addict.
He didn't know what he was doing.

Speaker 4 So, then, who set up all of the shell companies?

Speaker 4 And why is the family not coming out and saying, I didn't know I had a shell company? I'm outraged. I want to give all that money back.
I don't want any of that money.

Speaker 4 How come that's not happening? How come no one's asking about the shell companies? You cannot compare these two.

Speaker 4 One is doing,

Speaker 4 you may disagree with with them, but one is doing

Speaker 4 exactly what Hillary Clinton did.

Speaker 4 I won. I'm telling you I won.
There's something funny going on here.

Speaker 4 And the conspiracy is to discredit

Speaker 4 the American election system.

Speaker 4 Really?

Speaker 4 Because I think that had been done long before by, I don't know, Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Rahm Emanuel, everybody who has said it

Speaker 4 in Georgia, specifically Stacey Abrams. I mean, I think that's already been done.
You don't need a conspiracy to do that. That had already been done.

Speaker 4 What hasn't been done is taking millions of dollars, and they know

Speaker 4 that this is the problem. Because listen to what

Speaker 4 that representative said at the very beginning. Remember,

Speaker 4 they're trying him.

Speaker 4 Every time he's indicted,

Speaker 4 they go after the system.

Speaker 4 Yeah,

Speaker 4 because the indictment is nonsense. It's nonsense.
But go ahead, try it. I just want a fair trial.
I want a fair judge. But go ahead, try that.

Speaker 4 This one,

Speaker 4 they know is trouble. Because listen to what he is comparing it to.
Listen.

Speaker 5 To do a serious analysis of what the laws should be about money making.

Speaker 6 And you would take part in a serious investment. Yes, of course we would.

Speaker 5 And we're going to release a report about all of the foreign government emoluments, millions of dollars we can document that Donald Trump pocketed at the hotels, at the golf courses, through business deals when he was.

Speaker 4 Stop, stop, stop.

Speaker 4 Through his golf courses and his hotels,

Speaker 4 all the money he pocketed, he did a business deal long ago to have a hotel in a country. And they're getting him for taking the money from the hotels and

Speaker 4 putting it in his pocket.

Speaker 4 Well, that's legal. That's called business.

Speaker 4 What are you saying? Do you have evidence that he took illegal money? And he was laundering that money from the hotel through several different shell corporations?

Speaker 4 Because we have from the banking system to the treasury 70

Speaker 4 70 warnings that this is money laundering in regards to the Biden

Speaker 4 70

Speaker 4 do you have one of those for Donald Trump because I don't think so they know they're in trouble

Speaker 4 Nothing I love better than paying way more for a service than I actually need to. Well, wait a minute.
I'm sorry. Reverse that.
I hate doing that. I'm guessing you do too.
It wasn't that much,

Speaker 4 that long ago that you didn't really have much of a choice. You had to go for one big mobile cell company or the other, and they were all gatekeepers.

Speaker 4 That was then. This is now.
Whatever leftist causes they chose to use your money on, it stops now. Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, offering free,

Speaker 4 sorry, offering

Speaker 4 dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks so you get the best possible service in your area.

Speaker 4 And when you make the switch to Patriot Mobile, you're letting the world know that you support free speech, religious freedom, sanctity of human life, the Second Amendment, military, veterans, first responder heroes.

10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 4 So tonight,

Speaker 4 cocaine, shell companies, Shady money from foreign oligarchs, cover-ups that go straight to the top of the federal government. It's not a movie, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 4 It's another day in a Biden crime family. Michael Corleon will be jealous.

Speaker 4 Now you have multiple federal whistleblowers that have come forward. We're going to take you through the bank records that show millions of dollars being exchanged while Joe Biden was vice president.

Speaker 4 Notice that guy on ABC also said,

Speaker 4 you don't have anything on Joe Biden when he was president.

Speaker 4 Oh, so that's the new standard. Okay, because we have it when he was vice president and up until the very end of the election period when he said to his son, you got to quit.
You got to quit all this.

Speaker 4 Hmm. Okay.

Speaker 4 They've shifted their narrative. First, it was Biden had no knowledge of his son's business dealings.
Now we know that was a lie.

Speaker 4 So they move to Biden never discussed Hunter's business dealings, but now testimony from both the IRS whistleblowers and Devin Archer directly contradict that.

Speaker 4 So now they're saying, well, none of the evidence shows a direct cash payment to Joe, right? I mean,

Speaker 4 this is the way

Speaker 4 you get a crime family convicted. No, no,

Speaker 4 Michael Corleone, when he was the godfather, did not receive the money directly.

Speaker 4 That's the way it works.

Speaker 4 Jeez.

Speaker 4 RICO prosecutors should be all over this. This family should be charged with RICO crimes.
Don't miss tonight, the Wednesday night special, 9 p.m. only on Blaze TV, 9.30 Eastern on my YouTube channel.

Speaker 4 That's youtube.com slash Glenn Beck. Revealed the corruption charge that actually will take down the Biden crime family.

Speaker 4 9 o'clock. Hello, Stu.

How are you? Good, good. So

Speaker 4 you do the do

Speaker 4 you like Mountain Dew? I'm drinking one right now at Mountain. Major Melon.

Speaker 4 Okay. Mountain Dew, Major Melon.
I didn't know this about Mountain Dew.

Speaker 4 A Florida woman, it always starts with trouble, doesn't it?

Speaker 4 A Florida woman poured Diet Mountain Dew soda on herself.

Speaker 4 Okay. 35-year-old Nicole Max was charged with tampering with evidence after police say that she was a murderer.

Speaker 4 Early on July 1st, a Daytona Beach police officer was flagged down by a resident about a fire at the home on Clark Street.

Speaker 4 When firefighters extinguished the fire, they found a man dead on the floor of the house with blunt force trauma to the back of his head. He also had stab wounds to his torso.

Speaker 4 Police identified the man as 79-year-old Michael Carasoli. Police then put out a bulletin seeking Max as the person of interest.

Speaker 4 She was later found by an officer who said she was shoeless but had ripped clothing and blood on her leg. The police report said she dropped a knife and a hammer when the police confronted her.

Speaker 4 When questioned, she said, well, I know I'm homeless. Okay, well, I, okay, all right.
Well, I am his roommate, but now I'm homeless.

Speaker 4 She then

Speaker 4 allegedly poured the diet mountain dew over her head

Speaker 4 do you know why I did she think she was washing the blood off she thought she was washing all the DNA off oh now so is that true I that's not one of the benefits that's why I came to you because you do the do and I'm wondering are you just trying to do that and and get all the DNA evidence off you I if there's yet another benefit of mountain dew that I didn't know about I am

Speaker 4 going to look this up.

Speaker 4 I don't want to look it up. I think you should look it up on your does Mountain Dew

Speaker 4 wash away DNA.

Speaker 4 He googled does Mountain Dew wash away DNA in furtherance of a conspiracy. That's what I'm going to get.

Speaker 4 No, no, no, I'll testify

Speaker 4 for you.

Speaker 4 Anyway, you don't need to be buying meat from the grocery store. Full stop.
You don't.

Speaker 4 Not only are you frequently not getting the meat that was raised and processed here in America, even when the package says you are, but you're also subject to the whims of inflation.

Speaker 4 Have you seen meat prices as they go up? It's only going to get worse. And 85% of ground beef is imported from overseas.
Why? Why are we doing this to our farmers and our ranchers?

Speaker 4 And if you order from Good Ranchers, you're going to lock in your price. You're going to get American meat.

Speaker 4 The Mountain Dew thing did not work for this poor woman. It did not work.
No. Okay.
Did you Google that? What did you Google? I did Google. I said,

Speaker 4 does Mountain Dew remove DNA? Ah. And then it said, no.
It said, does not. And it did not work for her.
Okay. Unfortunately, in this case,

Speaker 4 could you Google something else? Yeah, just Google, does anything wash away the bloody DNA on me? Wash.

Speaker 4 On me?

Speaker 4 Well, you don't have to.

Speaker 4 Then Google this.

Speaker 4 How long before they find that random person I killed on the way to work this morning? I'm not going to.

Speaker 4 No. Have you ever heard this? No, no, no.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to Google that. Have you ever heard the guy

Speaker 4 a few months ago who was in court and they were reading his Google searches from

Speaker 4 his murder trial? No.

Speaker 4 It is incredible. It's incredible.
Sarah, you have it? Go ahead. Listen to this.

Speaker 7 On January

Speaker 7 1st, defendant Googled using his son's iPad. Some of his searches are as follows.
Keep in mind that the defendant said he left at

Speaker 7 6 a.m.

Speaker 7 At 4.55 a.m. on January 1st, he searched how long before a body starts to smell.

Speaker 7 At 4.58 a.m.,

Speaker 7 how to stop a body from decomposing.

Speaker 7 At 5.20 a.m. he searched how to embalm a body.
At 5.47 a.m.

Speaker 4 Is it possible to turn it up or not?

Speaker 4 Embalm a body. Embalm a body? Embalm a body.
Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 7 10 ways to

Speaker 7 dispose of a dead body if you really need to. If you really need to.
At 6.25 a.m. on the first, how long for someone to be missing to inherit.
At 6.34 a.m.

Speaker 7 Can you throw away body parts?

Speaker 4 Can you throw away body parts?

Speaker 7 What does formaldehyde do?

Speaker 7 At 9.34 a.m. on the first,

Speaker 7 how long does DNA last?

Speaker 4 How long?

Speaker 7 At 9.59 a.m., can identification be made on partial remains?

Speaker 8 At 11.34 a.m.,

Speaker 7 disemmemberment and the best ways to dispose of a body.

Speaker 7 At 11.44 a.m.

Speaker 4 still going on floor.

Speaker 7 At 11.56 on the first, aluminol to detect blood. At 1.08, what happens when you put body parts in ammonia?

Speaker 7 At 1.21 p.m., is it better to throw a crime scene clothes away or wash them?

Speaker 4 Is it better to throw crime scenes to clothes away or wash them?

Speaker 7 He was at home.

Speaker 4 So it goes out of the way. The funny part is he's, first of all, is just standing there as they're reading this, which is he, you know, looking very miserable as they're going through this.

Speaker 4 Perhaps the best detail, though, if you missed it at the very beginning, is all of these were Googled on his son's iPad. Oh, my God.
I mean, it is a, it's a darn. It wasn't me, it was my son.

Speaker 4 That's right. Definitely my son.
What a dummy. Oh, an idiot, and obviously a horrible person for multiple reasons.

Speaker 4 But if you're going to be a murderer, perhaps don't Google every detail about your body disposal.

Speaker 4 So,

Speaker 4 oh, how stupid. By the way, speaking of stupid and important people,

Speaker 4 I don't know if you saw, but Joe Biden came out yesterday with a tweet. As residents of Hawaii mourn the loss of life and devastation taking place all across their beautiful home, we mourn with them.

Speaker 4 Like I've said, not only our prayers are with those impacted, but every asset we have will be available to them.

Speaker 4 We are laser focused on getting aid to survivors, including critical needs assistance, a one-time $700 payment per household offering relief during this unimaginably difficult time.

Speaker 4 A one-time payment of $700?

Speaker 4 Wow.

Speaker 4 Now, I'm torn on this because I don't think the federal government should be involved at all. This is insurance companies should have had all of this covered.

Speaker 4 But if you're going to do something, you've lost everything in your life, and you're laser focused on these with every asset we have and you send them a one-time payment of $700?

Speaker 4 That seems... Well, he's very old.
Maybe he was thinking that it was like a 1923 money.

Speaker 4 1923? You could buy a house and a car with that kind of money. What are you talking about?

Speaker 4 Yeah, now you can't. Now you can't.
Is that insulting or is that just me? I mean, you know,

Speaker 4 yes, it's insulting, though.

Speaker 4 My guess is

Speaker 4 Joe Biden's not going to hold back buying people off from a tragedy eventually. Like, I'm sure they're going to throw tons of money at this.
You know,

Speaker 4 my guess is there's some,

Speaker 4 this is a quick rollout payment, and then in a week, they'll throw $65 billion at, you know,

Speaker 4 they certainly seem to have no qualms about throwing money at things, whether it solves problems or not so i don't know i will see my guess is the money will come the same day that they did that they gave 1.8 million dollars to hawaii 1.8

Speaker 4 the same time

Speaker 4 200 million dollars in addition 200 million dollars to ukraine incredible i mean the amount of money we're spending in ukraine is just

Speaker 4 i mean it is it's non-stop it's grotesque it's grotesque yeah i mean i you know there's got to be some limit on it, I would think, but maybe not.

Speaker 4 When you have the modern monetary theory running, I guess you don't have to worry about such things when you're just printing new money all the time. Yeah.

Speaker 4 And there doesn't seem to be a lot of opposition to it, by the way, we should point out in Congress.

Speaker 4 No. It seems like Republicans are going along with this just as much as Democrats are.
Yeah, Republicans are actually spending $2 million,

Speaker 4 again, more money than they sent to Hawaii, $2 million

Speaker 4 for advertising to get people on board with the war in Ukraine.

Speaker 4 Can you

Speaker 4 do you have any theory as to what the political philosophy is between in the way that he's handled this situation in Hawaii? What do you mean? Like,

Speaker 4 just like basic politics would tell you, don't look disengaged. Don't look like you don't care.
With Hawaii? Yeah.

Speaker 4 I think it's a state that they have locked up, and they're never going to, they don't need to buy a vote in Hawaii. It's never going to go against a Democrat.

Speaker 4 That is really, really callous and horrible to say, but that's the only thing I can come up with. Totally believable.
So

Speaker 4 he gave 1.8,

Speaker 4 and that's as the United States government. Okay.

Speaker 4 Already our Maui wildfire relief, we have already raised and given $321,842.

Speaker 4 So the government gives 1.8. This is Mercury 1.
This is Mercury 1. This audience,

Speaker 4 and I've only mentioned it maybe three times, we have given $321 million. $321,000.
I'm sorry, $1,000. I was going to say that's a pretty good number.
Yeah, $321,000.

Speaker 4 I mean, and that's just from the radio audience. I mean,

Speaker 4 I think we...

Speaker 4 I think just because we should be doing this anyway,

Speaker 4 and,

Speaker 4 you know, we're supposed to hate the people who vote differently than us, and they definitely vote differently than we do in Hawaii.

Speaker 4 I think we should raise $1.9 million.

Speaker 4 If you want to give to the

Speaker 4 Maui wildfire relief, just go to mercury1.org and give to our emergency relief. section.

Speaker 4 Here's what we've done so far. We have funded a DC-8 aircraft with 17 tons of relief supplies on board, including solar lights and hygiene kits.

Speaker 4 Teams are helping homeowners in some of the most devastated communities sift through the ashes and search for their valuables, photos, mementos, anything that is left.

Speaker 4 We have set up hotspots, Wi-Fi, and emergency response communication services in Maui so critical communication can happen on the island.

Speaker 4 We've been working and partnering with Harvest Church, partnering with local churches to provide comfort, provide shelter and comfort for the survivors.

Speaker 4 They're helping Maui residents who have lost everything and are continuing to preach the gospel to the community.

Speaker 4 And of course, our good partners at Operation Barbecue Relief teams are on the ground in Maui now providing hot meals and vital resources for survivors and first response teams.

Speaker 4 So that's what we've done so far.

Speaker 4 The little building next door to this one.

Speaker 4 If you'd like to help us, we try to be prepared for any emergency relief, especially here in America.

Speaker 4 Because if we want the government to do less, we have to do more. I sure would like to see that we could raise 1.9.
I mean, I know that's, yes, it's petty. It's petty.

Speaker 4 Jesus wouldn't do that. But I'm not Jesus.
So, I mean, Jesus, I don't think it's in the Bible.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Give to Caesar that which is Caesar and then just up him one.
I don't, I don't. No, that's not in there.
I don't think that's in there. We're still in Bible country, though.

Speaker 4 We are in Bible country. We're still in Bible country.
We still said the word Jesus. Right.
So I think we're okay with that. Anyway, go to mercury1.org.
That's mercuryone.org.

Speaker 4 $700.

Speaker 4 That's really incredible.

Speaker 4 I get, because I mean, I don't think, you know, the

Speaker 4 Katrina backlash back in the day with George W. Bush was not about helping people in New Orleans.
I mean, he knew he wasn't going to get any votes in New Orleans.

Speaker 4 He knew he was going to win Louisiana.

Speaker 4 And he also tried to stop.

Speaker 4 He had people,

Speaker 4 all of the federal aid was outside of the flood zone. It was waiting there.
And he had told them, you got to shut this city down. You got to evacuate.
And the Democrats Democrats didn't. No,

Speaker 4 I mean, my understanding is he eventually did land the plane. He didn't just fly over the area.
But I mean,

Speaker 4 I'm not saying that like it's a legitimate criticism. My point is that like, just from a straight politics perspective, you want to look competent in your job.
You want to look engaged in your job.

Speaker 4 People look at the Maui thing or the Hawaii thing is not about whether he is necessarily getting voters in Hawaii.

Speaker 4 It's about other people outside of this who might be undecided looking at the way he's handling this and being, wait a minute, what is this? What are you doing? He's doing a terrible job.

Speaker 4 He's on the beach? Of all things, he's on the beach? Who doesn't care? Who doesn't care? The Democrats don't. But they want votes.

Speaker 4 Yeah. They want to win.
I know.

Speaker 4 I'm not saying they care at all about anyone. I'm not saying they care about a person.
I'm not saying if they had the choice, they wouldn't destroy them all with lasers.

Speaker 4 What I'm saying is they want to win the election. Yeah.
So why allow yourself to look so pathetically incompetent? Yes, that is a good question.

Speaker 4 Now, do you want to hear my theory?

Speaker 4 Probably not. Probably not.
My guess is I don't want to hear your theory. My theory is, is that they know they're going to win.

Speaker 4 Everything you say, everything,

Speaker 4 everything

Speaker 4 that they did the last election.

Speaker 4 Wait, you're not going to have him go out and you're going to put him in pathetic little places where everybody has to stay in their circle six feet apart from each other.

Speaker 4 You remember how stupid that was? How no one came out for Joe Biden? Like no one was coming out for Joe Biden.

Speaker 4 And we all sat here and went, What are they doing? This looks horrible. There's no momentum.

Speaker 4 He's in his basement with his mom all the time. What the hell is happening?

Speaker 4 And they didn't seem concerned. And they won.

Speaker 4 I just don't think they care for some reason.

Speaker 4 I guess that's true, but like, I mean, they made, for example, they went around and did speech after speech after speech about

Speaker 4 student loans, right? They're obviously just trying to buy votes. They sent Kamala Harris down to Florida to yell about the fake controversy on our history.

Speaker 4 So wait, wait. Both of those

Speaker 4 have something else attached to them. Hang on, we got to take a break.
Let me remind me of that because it's really important. It's different than Hawaii.

Speaker 4 LifeLock, you knew ChatGPT was going to be used for

Speaker 4 cybercrime purposes at some point, right? Just to gather information, generate phishing campaigns and spam, create malicious codes. I mean, really?

Speaker 4 Yeah, yeah. And it's happened already.
Cyber criminals steal what's yours. The sheer beauty of it is they can do it so much faster now and it can adapt so much faster.

Speaker 4 The Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 4 So you always have to look at the goals of the Biden administration move, and they're not usually what they're stated.

Speaker 4 For instance, Kamala Harris, you used the example of her going down and saying, you know, they're distorting black history. Well, no, they're not.
They're teaching accurate history.

Speaker 4 Her job was to make sure the distortion remains and make sure we continue to divide ourselves on race. Those both play into the goals of the Biden administration.
Second one you said was student loan.

Speaker 4 If you think, like Cloward and Piven, overwhelm the system. The system cannot afford that.
So then why not just give a whole bunch of money, if that's the theory, to Hawaii?

Speaker 4 Why not just overwhelm the system and just give them tons of money?

Speaker 4 Well, did you see what the governor, Josh Green, is saying now?

Speaker 4 He's announced that he is considering acquiring the properties in the seaside resort town

Speaker 4 to

Speaker 4 be able to possibly put workforce housing back in, put it back into families, or make it an open space in perpetuity as a memorial to the people who were lost.

Speaker 4 It's a land grab.

Speaker 4 I guarantee you they're not going to put houses back there. Guarantee you.
Because they're already saying it'll be a long time before we can build back there. Really?

Speaker 4 Longer than it is on the mainland? Really? Because we have fires. We build houses back.

Speaker 4 What is the problem there?

Speaker 4 It's going to be a long time. So we want to take it out of...
We're not going to let any private sales happen at all

Speaker 4 with anybody out of state.

Speaker 4 And we're just thinking about maybe making this into public, a public memorial.

Speaker 4 Oh.

Speaker 4 So whatever you do, Joe, don't send them too much.

Speaker 4 Don't send them too much because they're not going to be rebuilding there.

Speaker 4 The Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 4 Since Roe v. Wade, over 64 million babies have been aborted in the United States.
Nearly one in five pregnancies end up this way.

Speaker 4 Even now with the abortion pill accounting for over half of the abortions performed, babies' lives are still at great, great risk.

Speaker 4 The Ministry of Pre-Born and the Blaze are partnering to save 70,000 babies' lives this year, and we've got a good start going. One ultrasound is $28, but any gift will help.

Speaker 4 A $140 gift sponsors five ultrasounds. 5,000 will sponsor pre-born's entire network for a whole day.

Speaker 4 If you have the means, a gift of 15,000 will put a brand new ultrasound machine in a needy pregnancy clinic. It's a game changer.

Speaker 4 And these pre-born clinics, they also care for the mother up to two years after the birth. It's a four-star charity rating on Charity Navigator, so give with confidence.

Speaker 4 It's pound250, keyword baby, or go to preborn.com slash Glenn. That's preborn.com slash Glenn.

Speaker 9 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 4 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 4 It is, this is driving the left out of their mind. Rich men north of Richmond.
The best comment I heard was, this is not country music. This is music for our country.

Speaker 4 It is, it's great. I don't know who this guy is.

Speaker 4 But now the left, honestly, this is from Variety magazine. Maybe he's a plant.

Speaker 4 Maybe he's a plant?

Speaker 4 A plant? Like who? What are you talking about? Maybe he's a plant. What is that?

Speaker 4 We're going to talk to somebody who knows the left and knows how good Rolling Stone Magazine is as a magazine of music. We're going to talk to the guy who is the banjo player.

Speaker 4 Yes, you remember him, don't you? Winston Marshall, he has his own

Speaker 4 podcast and

Speaker 4 it's quite amazing to hear him talk about Rolling Stone and the coverage that they have given Oliver Anthony. It's embarrassing.
Winston is going to be here in 60 seconds. Standby.

Speaker 4 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Our sponsor, do you know that car repair costs are up around 20% from what they were last year?

Speaker 4 Yeah,

Speaker 4 20%.

Speaker 4 All right, we have Winston Marshall on with us.

Speaker 4 Welcome to the program.

Speaker 4 Hi. How are you doing, man?

Speaker 4 How much?

Speaker 10 Very good. Is it Glenn? I'm speaking to Glenn.
Oh, great.

Speaker 4 Yes, you're speaking.

Speaker 4 Yes. And this is Winston, right?

Speaker 4 That's me. Okay, good.
Good to hear your voice again. Yeah, good to talk to you.

Speaker 4 One of these days, will you just bring your banjo? Even if it's on the phone, will you just bring the banjo?

Speaker 10 Well, I think I owe you one of these days.

Speaker 4 I think you do. I think you do.
So,

Speaker 4 Winston,

Speaker 4 I saw a piece that you wrote. I think it was in The Spectator.
about Rolling Stone magazine. They are losing their mind

Speaker 4 over

Speaker 4 Oliver Anthony. They're just going crazy.
That's right.

Speaker 10 Yeah, well, we should start by saying the story of Oliver Anthony is absolutely wonderful.

Speaker 10 Here's a kid, factory worker from Appalachian, America,

Speaker 10 and he has currently got four songs in the top ten, ten songs in the top 25 iTunes chart, and all three of the top three. This is a huge moment.

Speaker 10 These songs have been recorded on his phone, just his beautiful voice and a guitar. It's so authentic and it's so real.
And this, Glenn, is the counterculture that we've been looking for.

Speaker 10 All of this music that we hear a lot of the time just enforces the establishment. This is a

Speaker 10 real authentic musician who who's howling against both Republicans and

Speaker 10 Democrats, the rich men north of Richmond. It's just so exciting.
And very rarely do I get this excited

Speaker 10 about things happening in music. Well, certainly it's been a while anyway.

Speaker 10 And yes, the music press, Rolling Stone, and not just them, a lot of music press immediately,

Speaker 10 instead of sharing in this excitement of a truly countercultural moment, instead they look at who's enjoying this music and they denigrate it accordingly.

Speaker 10 So, for example, for Oliver Anthony, they run the headlines,

Speaker 10 right-wing influencers have a favorite new

Speaker 10 country singer. And as if that, you know,

Speaker 10 it almost sounded completely backhanded. As if that has anything to do with them, so what? Who likes the music? Music is for everyone.
Why would they lead with that?

Speaker 10 And this is part of a a bigger picture we're seeing. When Jason Albin,

Speaker 10 who is number four in the iTunes chart let's say just behind Oliver Anthony had the incident a month ago with Try That in a Small Town, a song bemoaning the rise in crime.

Speaker 10 Crime we know has gone up something like I think 44% in the last 10 years, 8% since 2021, these are FBI statistics. And

Speaker 10 instead of

Speaker 10 sort of

Speaker 10 understanding that sentiment, they paint the whole thing.

Speaker 10 They ran a title,

Speaker 10 The Most Ridiculous Right-Wing Country Songs of All Time,

Speaker 10 hooking it onto the Jason L D song. As if being worried about crime is a right-wing talking point.
No. It doesn't matter who you are,

Speaker 10 crime is an issue that we all are concerned about. We all care about.

Speaker 10 It's so shocking to me. And I could speak at length about Rolling Stone.
And

Speaker 10 last year, for example, there's another huge story. Bryson Gray, who is a rapper, unknown rapper, beat Adele, the biggest-selling selling music artist of the 21st century.
She's ununtouchable.

Speaker 10 He put out a song called Let Us Go Brandon and it beat her to number one in the iTunes chart.

Speaker 10 You know, in music, and I know this from music, when you have an album or a single you're about to put out, you work out who's putting out albums because you don't want to put out the same time as an artist because then no one, you'll just get clouded out.

Speaker 10 Adele, no one dares put out a song at the same time as Adele because she's definitely going to get to number one.

Speaker 10 And then here comes Bryson Gray with the song Let's Go Braden and it goes to number one. Now, Rolling Stone didn't even report on that story.
They're so

Speaker 10 in their own bubble that they didn't.

Speaker 10 This magazine that has been the countercultural magazine of American post-war history,

Speaker 10 they're so blind to genuine counterculture today in the 21st century that they miss these massive stories, or

Speaker 10 they spin them into this bizarre narrative.

Speaker 10 It blows my mind.

Speaker 4 So

Speaker 4 I'm not sure that it is

Speaker 4 counterculture. I think they were only counterculture because maybe, perhaps, they were all leftists.
Now

Speaker 4 they're not covering it because they never were counterculture. They had their ideology and they were always leftist.

Speaker 4 And now that the right is, and I can't even say this guy is right other than meaning non-politically, he's correct. His words are the feeling of America, which is counterculture.

Speaker 4 So why wouldn't they be covering it unless they weren't counterculture the whole time? They weren't really about that.

Speaker 10 Well, I think it would be unfair to say that they weren't countercultural, counterculture back in the 60s and 70s when they started. They were the counterculture.

Speaker 10 They were, it was boomer, it was hippie, they were the drug-taking,

Speaker 10 you know, avant-garde musicians. It was counterculture.
What happened in that boomer generation? I mean, these are, they had some truly great writers. I mean, Huntress Thompson,

Speaker 10 P.J. O'Rourke,

Speaker 10 Tom Wolfe, who's even now considered a conservative author to some people.

Speaker 10 They had some of the great post-war American writers, but they were the boomer generation, and the boomer generation are now the establishment.

Speaker 10 Back then, they were the counterculture because

Speaker 10 the culture, or the people in charge were, it was the majoritarian Christian right, not all the time, but a lot of the time. Now, it is,

Speaker 10 I don't know if you necessarily call it leftists, but the progressives, I would say, are in charge. They are the culture.
They are

Speaker 10 the establishment. And so counterculture now needs to be against that.

Speaker 10 and when these countercultural moments happen as with Oliver Anthony as with Jason Albin as with Bryson Gray as with the Sound of Freedom movie oh I didn't even mention that the way they documented this astonishing film a beautiful I saw it in a metropolitan city in Los Angeles in a in a middle working class area part of town a multi-ethnic audience the whole theater was in tears and there was a standing ovation at the end.

Speaker 10 This is a film exposing the two million children across the world being sex trafficked.

Speaker 4 So, you know, Winston, I can't let you talk about this without pointing out, because I'm so,

Speaker 4 I've told you, I think, when you were here, this audience that you're speaking to now is, I think, the greatest collection of human beings as an audience

Speaker 4 ever assembled.

Speaker 4 This audience is the one that paid for that operation, not the movie, but paid for that operation to save those kids. That money came from this audience.
Can you believe that?

Speaker 10 Well, God bless your audience, Dan.

Speaker 4 Yeah, they're great. They're great.

Speaker 10 It's absolutely astonishing, and it is God's work. And,

Speaker 10 you know, there's a famous line, well, there's a line that's become famous in that film.

Speaker 10 God's children are not for sale. And when you see

Speaker 10 the attacks by magazine, establishment magazines like Rolling Stone calling it far-right and puent on conspiracy theories, you cannot help but see this all as some sort of spiritual war.

Speaker 10 Clearly, this film and the work of Tim Ballard is God's work saving children,

Speaker 10 and anyone who's immediately leading by attacking that, it's pretty obvious which side they're on, and it's not the side of the angels.

Speaker 4 And

Speaker 4 that is just shocking to me. When I saw them go after this song and say that it was far-right, okay, because he was talking about high taxes and welfare and everything else.
Okay, I get it.

Speaker 4 But then to say it was QAnon

Speaker 4 and

Speaker 4 a weird

Speaker 4 subset of

Speaker 4 the right that seems to be obsessed with

Speaker 4 pedophilia, but obsessed in the right way, you know, trying to stop it and stop children from the sex slavery industry.

Speaker 4 I don't even know how you defend that. How are they sitting around going, yeah, I know, it's just crazy, these people against pedophilia?

Speaker 10 Well, there's one Vox.com article that argued that the film did more damage than the evil it was purporting to expose, which is just absolutely astonishing.

Speaker 10 And you just I suppose one has to pray for these people that are cooped up in their bedrooms, tapping away at their keyboard, not actually offering anything to the world except to tear down, like sons of Cain, anything good that they see.

Speaker 10 And they're just lost. They're just so lost.

Speaker 10 It's horrific.

Speaker 10 And to be, I mean, I can get angry about it, Glenn, but actually, maybe I should be laughing.

Speaker 4 No, I think you're right.

Speaker 10 Look at the success of Oliver Anthony. As I said, 10 songs in the top 25.
Look at the success of Sound of Freedom. I think they gross

Speaker 10 something like $150 million on a $15 million budget. Look at the success of Jason Aldean.
He's got his number one. He's still in the charts.

Speaker 10 The people

Speaker 10 they are speaking volumes. They're speaking in a way that these magazines, who no one reads anymore anyway,

Speaker 10 they're just desperately scraping at the sort of the night in,

Speaker 10 I don't know, I guess I'm going to try

Speaker 10 I flicker between frustration and anger at

Speaker 10 what they say, but also it's just so ludicrous. I suppose I have to laugh.

Speaker 4 We're talking to Winston Marshall. He is from

Speaker 4 Mumford and Sons, and he was the guy who was kind of kicked out because he just was saying what he thought.

Speaker 4 Let me take you one last place, and that is to Variety Magazine. They are now saying that perhaps Oliver Anthony is too good to be true, that he's not authentic, that he's a plant

Speaker 4 the hell is that

Speaker 10 well this is the conspiratorial left i think you know we get called conspiratorial for all our perfectly normal opinions and now we can see that it's the conspiracy theories are really coming from and the genuine ones uh uh because uh and

Speaker 10 where i do agree with them though is that Oliver Anthony does seem to be too good to be true. And

Speaker 10 there's just a spark in him, the God's working for him. And I can only pray that

Speaker 10 he keeps this and that he's not manipulated by

Speaker 10 these evil actors and that he's not brought down by it's quite something, you know, I've been through it a few times and I'm sure you have as well, Glenn, that when you have in that sort of blind light, that sort of spotlight, you have a lot of people attacking you, it does affect you and it affects your soul.

Speaker 10 And we must pray for Oliver right now that

Speaker 10 he's not affected by this stuff because he's really doing God's work and he's exposing these

Speaker 10 foul actors for who they really are. We, the people, can see how ludicrous their comments are.

Speaker 4 So he is not doing anything, which I think is smart. And then at the same time, I have a problem with it.

Speaker 4 He is not doing anything with anyone political. So he's not reaching out.

Speaker 4 He's just not taking anything to gain additional exposure. Not that he needs it, but I heard somebody say that, well,

Speaker 4 that hurts the right because somebody should, you know, if he's singing about these things and we agree with him and they don't, but I don't feel that way. I feel like just do your thing.

Speaker 4 Just do your thing. Don't make it about politics.

Speaker 10 I think you're right, Glenn. And I don't think

Speaker 10 we should see this as a right and left wing. That's playing the same bloody game that Rolling Stone magazine is playing.
Music has the ability to transcend and unite, and there's no reason why,

Speaker 10 whatever your political identity is,

Speaker 10 and as it changes through your life, there's no reason why you can't enjoy this music for what it is. And I actually disagree with whoever says that, because Oliver should take his time.

Speaker 10 He's got a long career ahead of him. I've been listening to his songs on repeat.
This is not a one-hit wonder. This is a real talent.

Speaker 10 We're going to know the name of Oliver Anthony for many years to come. And let's hope that this guy can unite us.

Speaker 10 I love your country, and I'm here a lot. And I always have this sense of two Americas.
And I really hope that they can be reconciled. And it's people like Oliver, authentic,

Speaker 10 talented people like him who are in that position to do that. And I think it would be a shame for him to suddenly play into the hands of the right when he can transcend that.

Speaker 4 Winston Marshall, he is the host of Marshall Matters. You can watch his podcast wherever you get your podcast.
And Winston, it's always good to talk to you.

Speaker 4 And one of these days, show up with the banjo.

Speaker 4 Just one of these days.

Speaker 10 Ben, great to speak to you again. I think you're doing very well.

Speaker 4 So thank you for having me on. You bet.
God bless you. Winston Marshall.
Okay. Our sponsor this half hour is American Finance.
American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Speaker 4 I can't believe it. I've been talking about American financing for about 10 years now.
They've been around for over twice that amount.

Speaker 4 They survived the crash of 08, and they're going to keep surviving. That is kind of amazing, seeing that you see what interest rates are doing to the American people right now.

Speaker 4 You'd think the company like that wouldn't be able to continue saving people money, but they are. And it's partly because they don't work for the banks.
They work for you.

Speaker 4 They have salary-based mortgage consultants whose only job is to get you the right home loan to save you money.

Speaker 4 They don't charge any upfront or hidden fees and if you don't qualify your credit score, if it's not perfect, they'll help you on that.

Speaker 4 Over 2,000 of my listeners have called them just this year to help them save money.

Speaker 4 Small number of those didn't actually have the credit score to qualify and American Financing ran them through their credit care program, which is free and will help boost your credit score.

Speaker 4 So what can they do for you? There's only one way to find out. Call American Financing at 800-906-2440.
800-906-2440 or go to AmericanFinancing.net. 10 seconds station ID.

Speaker 4 So can you check that website for me real quick?

Speaker 4 I want you to go to mercury1.org

Speaker 4 and

Speaker 4 yes or no?

Speaker 4 Still having problems, yes.

Speaker 4 Last hour, I said that

Speaker 4 we should do better than the $700 the American government did for Hawaii. We've already done, I think he did $1.8 million at $700 per household for the

Speaker 4 Hawaiian survivors. And I said, geez, we've already done almost $400,000.
And I've only mentioned it a couple of times on the air.

Speaker 4 We got to do better

Speaker 4 than $700 the U.S. government.
And, you know, I'm glad. I'm glad.
If we want the government to do less, then we have to do more.

Speaker 4 And I mentioned the website. And

Speaker 4 as I was talking about it,

Speaker 4 it was hacked

Speaker 4 in the middle of me saying, go there because we can do better. I find that an interesting coincidence, don't you?

Speaker 4 I do.

Speaker 4 And

Speaker 4 it says

Speaker 4 it's a Bangladeshi hacker. So don't have to worry about it.
This is someone from Bangladesh. Okay.
Just hack it in. Yeah, sure.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I'm sure it's from Bangladesh. Sure, it is.

Speaker 4 Well,

Speaker 4 we'll get it back. We'll make sure it's secure and then give.
Because obviously somebody in Bangladesh doesn't like it when you give. MercuryOne.org.

Speaker 4 The Glenn Beck Program. Samantha wrote in about her dog's experience with rough greens.
She says, Winston, my six-year-old Shelty is a picky eater, and I've been really impressed.

Speaker 4 He will pick the dry food with the rough greens over his wet food any day, and that's saying a lot. It would take him two days to eat a cup of dry food before.
Now he gobbles it down, and

Speaker 4 he's only been on the product for three weeks, and he's great.

Speaker 4 Samantha, thank you so much for listening. Thanks for trying this.
Rough greens is not a dog food. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr.

Speaker 4 Dennis Black, and you sprinkle it on on the dog's food. Remember, brown food is dead.
You want the greens.

Speaker 4 You name it. If it's healthy, it's probably in there for your dog in Rough Greens.

Speaker 4 This is the Glenn Beck program. The war in Ukraine continues to grow.
More growing concern about the use of nuclear weapons by Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 4 Yesterday, Joe Biden gave another, what was it, 20 million?

Speaker 4 Was that what it was, Stu, or is it 200 million, I think? I mean, what is it? It doesn't matter. Just add a couple more zeros to it.
Yeah, whatever. They get whatever they want.

Speaker 4 And the Republicans are now running a $2 million ad campaign to get conservatives on board.

Speaker 4 Meanwhile, the left is on board for some reason. I don't know why, but they're.
It gets every other war as long as I've been following politics, but this one, all in.

Speaker 4 So, you know, it's weird how people are just switching places with this much money involved.

Speaker 4 Ukraine, for instance, they were very anti-gay.

Speaker 4 And

Speaker 4 lo and behold, we started giving them money and then they decided on their own, no pressure from us, to take up a gay rights bill. And they wanted to, we got to pass that.
We got to pass that.

Speaker 4 And everybody,

Speaker 4 even the conservatives were like, you know what? We're for this. This is the first time it's ever been brought up into parliament, but we are definitely for this.
You know why?

Speaker 4 Because Vladimir Putin doesn't like it. And if he doesn't like it, we're for it.
That is an actual quote from the leading conservative in Ukraine.

Speaker 4 Because he doesn't like it, we're for it. Okay.

Speaker 4 Now, so not only did they, you know, start to

Speaker 4 debate gay rights and there wasn't much a debate for the very first time in this country. There wasn't a debate, but there's also something else that I think is really wonderful and groundbreaking.

Speaker 4 Ukraine is not known for its love of homosexuality or its love for transgenderism.

Speaker 4 Not known for that. Really?

Speaker 4 No. But they're enlightened.
I know they're enlightened. They're very much like us, except when it comes to rights of people.
Anyway,

Speaker 4 they have decided on their own.

Speaker 4 The Ukraine Territorial Defense Forces has named a new spokesperson, Sarah Ashton Cyrillo.

Speaker 4 Now,

Speaker 4 she's an American, and when I say she, I don't mean she. I mean he.

Speaker 4 Well, he's part of the word she.

Speaker 4 Exactly right. And if I say he's, it has an S, dump the apostrophe, put the S at the end to the the beginning, and you have she.
You're right. Okay, it's the same word.

Speaker 4 He came over as an American man who's, you know, masquerading as a woman, and he joined Ukraine's armed forces.

Speaker 4 And here's what he had to say. He's now, by the way, the spokesperson for the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces.
He's the spokesperson to America.

Speaker 4 That's a real job. It is now.
There's a spokesperson job just speaking to us.

Speaker 4 Yeah, speaking to us, yeah, from Ukraine, transgender.

Speaker 4 Here he is.

Speaker 11 If you look at Putin's mouth, you'll notice that blood drips from it. He's a vampire carrying out genocide against both Ukrainians and Russians alike.

Speaker 11 Vlad Putin bathes in the blood of innocent children and enjoys it.

Speaker 11 And this is why the dictator of the Russian Federation must be deposed and why peace talks have to be focused on President Zelensky's 10-point peace formula and the full liberation of Ukraine.

Speaker 4 Isn't this real? This has to be a bit.

Speaker 4 This is real. This is real? This is real.
Wait a minute. You're telling me.
This is real. It can't be real.
You're telling me.

Speaker 4 No. No, I can't be real.
You're telling me that the Ukrainian government has employed a transgender guy who's masquerading as a woman

Speaker 4 as a spokesperson to us to tell us that Vladimir Putin is a vampire and that he bathes in the blood of children.

Speaker 4 Look, there are a lot of things that need hyperbole.

Speaker 4 Vladimir Putin's not a good guy. You don't really need to exaggerate the things he's done in his life.

Speaker 4 But they did. By the way, if you don't believe me, it is really real.

Speaker 4 If you don't believe me. I don't.
Read the article by John Jackson in Newsweek magazine. Ukraine military has a new transgender spokesperson.

Speaker 4 I can't. So the country has gone from

Speaker 4 we don't believe in gay marriage before the war to we're not only for gay marriage, we're for the parades during the war, we're for absolutely all of it.

Speaker 4 And we've got to, we've got to pass this gay marriage thing because that's that's what our boys on the front are fighting for. That's an actual quote.

Speaker 4 That's what our boys out on the front are fighting for. For gay marriage? Really? They are? I bet they'd be surprised because when they left home, they most likely were not for gay marriage.

Speaker 4 But now that they're getting so much money from America, well, you've got to have a transgender spokesperson because Americans need that. Is this like their understanding of what Americans want?

Speaker 4 Like they've seen all the stuff on TV and they're like, like, oh, they must really like. I don't think they care what Americans want.
They care what American power wants.

Speaker 4 And that's what American power wants. Right.

Speaker 4 They're trying to transform Ukraine into the vision of Joe Biden

Speaker 4 or somebody more coherent.

Speaker 4 And they're very excited about her. I mean, all the people on the left are very excited.

Speaker 4 She's a brave woman.

Speaker 4 She's a he. She's a he.
I think we could do that. And she's not, he's not

Speaker 4 a Ukrainian transgendered person. No, it's an American transgender person.
Who went over there and joined the military? Joined the military and then fought and said, this isn't for me.

Speaker 4 I don't like this. And so

Speaker 4 then they put him in the medic tent

Speaker 4 and he didn't like that because he got scratches from a bomb that went off and he had some shrapnel in his hand and some scratches. And so now he's he's in Ukraine, you know, behind a green screen.

Speaker 4 That's one of the most unbelievable things I've ever seen in my life. Good-looking woman, too.
Well, first of all, yes, 100%. Best-looking woman you've ever seen.
Absolutely. Right.

Speaker 4 Beautiful should win an award from, should win an ESP from ESPN and the incredible achievements that

Speaker 4 she

Speaker 4 has made.

Speaker 4 Probably woman of the year, I'm thinking. Probably.
I mean, Miss Universe, is that still open?

Speaker 4 I don't know, but we can just cancel out but then in addition though like it's it's like north korean level propaganda again vladimir putin is bad he's done a lot of really bad things you don't need to exaggerate him to saying that blood is driving she's exaggerating listen to what he just said if you look at putin's mouth you'll notice that blood drips from it he's a vampire carrying out genocide against both ukrainians and russians alike okay have you looked looked at Putin's mouth?

Speaker 4 I mean, I've seen it.

Speaker 4 Have you not noticed the blood that's dripping from his

Speaker 4 really? Because he bathes in it daily.

Speaker 4 He's like, I want more blood for my bathtub.

Speaker 4 And they're like, we can't, we don't have enough children. We've killed all of the Ukrainian.
Give me Western children. I don't care.
And I want it not only in bathtub.

Speaker 4 Tomorrow I want shower of blood. Hmm.

Speaker 4 That is one of of the legitimately.

Speaker 4 I say this maybe too often. That's legitimately one of the strangest things I've ever seen in my life.
You can't say that every day.

Speaker 4 We say that every day. We say that every day.
I, though, at times, it's just an expression.

Speaker 4 That is legitimately one of the strangest things I've ever seen in my life. I've given up on just saying that as an expression.
Right. I think that's true.
We should stop.

Speaker 4 We should stop that as an expression. Yeah, I think I have long ago.
I think now every time I say it, I'll say it, like, this is the weirdest thing. This is something that just doesn't make sense.

Speaker 4 I've never seen anything like it before. You stop yourself.
I stop myself because every day I'm saying that. But like, legitimately, that's one of the craziest things I've ever seen.

Speaker 4 The combination of

Speaker 4 the transgender situation, the delivery of it, the fact that it's like North Korean-type propaganda, right?

Speaker 4 It's like, you know, it's like, it's like, you know, hey, Kim Jong-un, the first time he played golf, scored an 18. It's like that really happened in North Korea.

Speaker 4 That's really what they said happened. The propaganda really said that.

Speaker 4 What do you mean he's bathing in children's blood? I mean, I.

Speaker 4 He kills children.

Speaker 4 And you know what? He does kill children.

Speaker 4 You don't need to exaggerate it.

Speaker 4 There's blood literally dripping off of his lips. Just because you haven't seen in a bathtub of blood doesn't mean he hasn't been in a bathtub of blood.

Speaker 4 I mean, that's factual, but I will say this, guys. I think it's factual.
You just heard him say it. I know, but I can confirm that he does not have blood dripping down his lips when I've seen him.

Speaker 4 So that is when you've seen him. So you're not with him all the time.
It's off time. She's close.
She's closer to him. She's in Ukraine.
That's the next country over. That's true.

Speaker 4 We're on the other side of the world. All right.

Speaker 4 I retract all criticisms.

Speaker 4 Let me tell you something. A man who goes on a horse without his shirt,

Speaker 4 he immediately sees this beautiful woman and thinks, Beta Baba Blood, or maybe just her. Maybe I sweet talk her.
Maybe she comes over to my pad.

Speaker 4 Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Won't he be any surprise when he finds out, wait a minute, you're not a beautiful woman?

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 I mean, that's not the ugliest Eastern European woman I've ever seen. I'm not going to say that.

Speaker 4 You know, I'm just.

Speaker 4 I would say you're right on that. There's been

Speaker 4 Russian women or this woman. Maybe Vlad is thinking, beautiful woman, she's great.

Speaker 4 Oh, she's American, so she's hideously ugly on that scale.

Speaker 4 There's no real estate, no real estate agent who really went above and beyond

Speaker 4 for me.

Speaker 4 Except maybe one, except maybe one. And I've sold houses, always lose on houses, don't do what I do on real estate.
No.

Speaker 4 Really, really bad.

Speaker 4 But

Speaker 4 I've had one that really went above and beyond. One.
And

Speaker 4 it was night and day difference.

Speaker 4 When you have somebody who knows your market, knows what your house is worth, sells the houses around you,

Speaker 4 can help you and has the phone numbers of people. I've been with this one real estate agent where they were like,

Speaker 4 I have a phone number here. This person can help you.
This person can help you. You need to get this done here.
These people won't gouge your eyes out.

Speaker 4 And you have a feeling of gratitude and even friendship at the end of the relationship. That's the kind of relationship you'll have with the real estate agents I trust.
Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Speaker 4 You go there, tell us where you're buying and selling, whether it's across the street or across the country, and we'll help you find that kind of real estate agent. Realestateagents I trust.com.

Speaker 4 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 4 So these are the auto trends that

Speaker 4 car people believe are coming to an end in the next few years.

Speaker 4 Bigger car designs, bigger vehicle price tags, bigger screens, driving assistance systems. Not every new trend can survive.
So the first thing they see dying.

Speaker 4 Unless new technology comes along, EVs will disappear. In 15 years, when all the current crop of EVs have dead batteries, that will be the end.
Consider 75% of Americans only buy a used car.

Speaker 4 Did you know that? No, that's a crazy

Speaker 4 75%. 75% only buy used cars.
Only by used cars. I would not have guessed it's not.
The average age of a used car is 12.2 years

Speaker 4 with a stated battery life of 15 to 20 years under ideal conditions. When EVs are 12.2 years old, they'll have the possibility of the

Speaker 4 battery going dead soon. None of the sellers would warranty a 12-year-old EV.
No one with common sense would buy a 12-year-old EV. Thus, a very limited market for any EV.

Speaker 4 I think it's true. It does seem like there's not really a great race sale market for these EVs.
Now, I don't know. Some of the stuff changes, right?

Speaker 4 You could take all the gas-powered cars off the market. Maybe the EV

Speaker 4 bicycle would be big. Yeah, right.
I mean, you know,

Speaker 4 that's what they're putting us into as well. They're blocking the road for any return to

Speaker 4 something that would work. And we have not seen EVs,

Speaker 4 well, we've seen them go bad. We have not seen them wear out yet.
We haven't hit a large number of people that have said, oh man, my EV, it's worth crap.

Speaker 4 I mean, the very first Tesla, this is pre-Elon Musk Tesla. People don't realize there was a pre-Elon Musk Tesla, but there was.

Speaker 4 In fact, we featured this car, the Tesla Roadster, on on CNN headline news. That's how far it goes back.
But there's a few of them that are still out there for sale.

Speaker 4 And they did a big battery upgrade to these things, R80, I think it was called. And it was supposed to extend the battery life and make, but like there's very few of them.

Speaker 4 And now there's just companies that are like making batteries for

Speaker 4 this very limited run of cars. There's only a few thousand of them that ever were sold.
And they're trying to make batteries to extend the lives of these things.

Speaker 4 I mean, obviously you can switch the batteries out, but now you're talking about second and third generation batteries and, you know, working with old,

Speaker 4 it just doesn't seem like a good idea. And when you feel when you look at like technology the way it develops, this is these cars are like sort of like computers on wheels, right?

Speaker 4 They're, they're less cars. Like a Tesla is not a car.
It's a, it's a computer on wheels. And as these things go on, you know how fast that stuff gets outdated? It's not like a normal car.

Speaker 4 Like it's all the bells and whistles that you get in these cars get outdated really, really quickly. I mean, that's one of the problems.

Speaker 4 And, you know, everybody's going with these huge screens that, you know,

Speaker 4 the whole inside of your car is a screen. They look terrible.

Speaker 4 Those are outdated so fast.

Speaker 4 Once somebody comes up with a new screen, then those cars, I mean, have you seen the old screens in cars from like 10 years ago? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 I just sold my car that I had, it was a 2012, and I just sold it last year. It looked, the screen looked ancient by the time I sold it.

Speaker 4 Ancient. And these are all the whole car is a screen, basically.
It's like walking around with a Blackberry. Yeah.
You're like, what? Yo, well, I left my pager at home.

Speaker 4 Not to mention, too, like, Tesla's obviously a success story, but like, is Lucid going to be around for 25 years? I don't know. Is Ford going to be around?

Speaker 4 That's the real question. Ford is losing so much money.
How long can they lose billions of dollars every year

Speaker 4 just on this stupid EV idea?

Speaker 4 Got no room to compromise.

Speaker 4 We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

Speaker 4 Stand up straight and hold the light.

Speaker 4 It's a new day, I'm time to rise.

Speaker 4 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 4 This is

Speaker 4 the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 4 Hey, did you know that when Janet yelling was over, she ate magic mushrooms? I guess she ordered four plates of them.

Speaker 4 She said, however,

Speaker 4 I didn't have any, any hallucinations.

Speaker 4 And inflation is doing fine. If this

Speaker 4 isn't a hallucination, I don't know what is. Listen, Cut Five, Janet Yellen.

Speaker 8 75% of Americans believe the economy is in poor condition. And maybe that's because, again, even though inflation rates have come down, they are still paying more.

Speaker 8 63% of people on this poll disapprove of how President Biden is handling the economy.

Speaker 8 What do you say, Secretary Ellen, to the clear majority of Americans who simply do not believe that the administration

Speaker 8 is helping us?

Speaker 12 Well, you know, Americans know best, I think, about their own personal finances.

Speaker 12 And it is important to recognize that when they're asked how are they personally doing, over 70% of Americans say that they're very comfortable with their financial situation.

Speaker 12 So they seem to perceive the economy

Speaker 12 as a whole as doing less well than they are personally.

Speaker 12 But most Americans feel good about their own economic situation.

Speaker 4 Now, my question is, how many plates full of mushrooms do you have to eat? to get to that conclusion.

Speaker 4 Out of the tragedy of 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation rose like a phoenix from the ashes, and it has been delivering on its promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices of America's greatest heroes.

Speaker 4 These are the people who put their lives on the line to protect our country and our communities. I want to tell you about Sergeant Dustin DeMonte.
He's from Bristol. He was from Bristol, Connecticut.

Speaker 4 He was fatally shot in a domestic violence incident, and he left behind two children and a wife who is pregnant with their third child.

Speaker 4 I knew about this story. What I didn't know

Speaker 4 is Dustin DeMonte is a relative of my wife. And she found out about his death on Facebook and the fact that because of your generosity, Tunnell to Towers paid the mortgage on their family home.

Speaker 4 She said, honey,

Speaker 4 did you see, first of all, Dustin died? And second of all,

Speaker 4 Tunnell to Towers just took care of his house and it was almost immediately and the family was so grateful. Can you help? Tunnel to Towers, they have a mission to do good in their honor.

Speaker 4 95 cents of every dollar donated goes to these programs to help our fallen heroes. Donate $11 a month now at tunneltotowers at t2t.org.
That's t, the number2t.org.

Speaker 4 Carol Roth, a recovering investment banker and the author of the new book, You Will Own Nothing. Hello, Carol.
How are you?

Speaker 13 I'm doing well, Glenn. And I have to say, I loved that cut of Janet Yella.
And you know, this is a woman who seems like she's been hallucinating for decades now.

Speaker 13 So perhaps when she ate those magic mushrooms, it was an antidote and she had an actual moment of lucidity. Because remember, inflation is transitory.
There's going to be no inflation.

Speaker 13 All of that good stuff came from her.

Speaker 13 She was also the same person who wanted to go and peek into our bank accounts for every $600 transactions to go after the billionaires because all of those billionaires with $600 transactions on Etsy,

Speaker 13 this is the yelling way.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I know. She's really good.
By the way, if you are an American official and you're going over to China,

Speaker 4 I would think it's important that someone is either with you from our side or their side and would say, by the way, these are hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Speaker 4 I mean, how do we let our Secretary of the Treasury having business meetings eat hallucinogenic mushrooms?

Speaker 13 It really is incredible.

Speaker 13 Yeah, you would think that they would have somebody who's checking the kitchens, ordering the food, you know, putting protocols in place anywhere, even if you were domestic, let alone in a foreign country, let alone in China.

Speaker 13 So it just goes to show what a bang up job this administration is doing once again.

Speaker 4 Okay, so there was somebody, let me see if I can find this. There was somebody that came in yesterday.

Speaker 4 Economist Kalao Schwab, I didn't realize that, founder of the World Economic Forum,

Speaker 4 said that the biggest threat to economic stability is the imbalances of the world and laughed at the idea of a common

Speaker 4 currency

Speaker 4 for the BRICS countries.

Speaker 13 Yeah, I mean, listen, Klaus Schwab

Speaker 13 has been peddling communism under a different brand for more than 50 years now. He is the

Speaker 13 generator of the idea of stakeholders that he gets to shape things without having any sort of risk in the game

Speaker 13 versus a shareholder who obviously takes some risk. I do think that he has biases towards certain parts of the world, and perhaps the BRICS aren't included in that for whatever reason.

Speaker 4 But you also have Jim O'Neill, former Goldman Sachs economist, saying the same thing. This is ridiculous.
It's not going to happen. It's just not going to happen.

Speaker 4 The BRICS currency taking on the dollar. How can you say that?

Speaker 13 So, I mean, there are so many different projects that are going on that perhaps it's not the BRICS currency.

Speaker 13 but one thing that has been under-reported is that the Bank for International Settlements, you may hear of it as BIS, which is the central bank's bank, has been doing all kinds of interesting CBDC projects with different groups.

Speaker 13 And there is one that is for China, Hong Kong, Thailand, and I believe it's the UAE that's actually made a ton of progress. And we've spent a lot of time, Glenn, you and I, talking about

Speaker 13 the reserve currency situation and how the dollar is going down as a percentage of reserve holdings. But the other reason why the U.S.
dollar is so sticky is that it's used in so much of payments.

Speaker 13 I've seen numbers anywhere from 80 to 88 percent of all foreign transactions from country to country. The US dollar is on one side or the other.

Speaker 13 So they are trying to attack not just this reserve currency, but the payments. That's what this BRICS currency is about.

Speaker 13 But it's also what these projects at places like the Bank for International Settlements are about is chipping away the US dollar's dominance.

Speaker 13 And if countries can trade amongst themselves going around the dollar, then that has not only the economic implications here at home, but it also has geopolitical implications because that means they can get around things like sanctions and regulations and taxes.

Speaker 13 And for people to poo-poo that that's going to happen is insane because we're already seeing that.

Speaker 13 We're already seeing China make deals with other countries for energy and trying to settle that in the yuan that has some physical settlement in gold.

Speaker 13 China and many other central banks have been loading up on gold in their reserves, probably as a not one-to-one backing, but some level of backing for their currency.

Speaker 13 So the idea that these countries are not trying to chip away at the U.S.'s dominance doesn't mean the U.S.

Speaker 13 dollar is going away, but taking us out of that pull position and having the inability to leverage the dollar for the benefit of the government's expansion and financing, for our benefit of, you know, cheap financing around the world

Speaker 13 and for these sort of geopolitical endeavors, I think is absolutely naive.

Speaker 4 So Michael Burry, you know who he is.

Speaker 13 I do know who he is.

Speaker 4 So he's the guy who, you know, bet bet against the stock market in 2008, made more than, what, $1.5, $1.6 billion.

Speaker 4 He has just

Speaker 4 bet against the U.S. stock market

Speaker 4 with a large sum, over a trillion dollars.

Speaker 4 What's happening here?

Speaker 13 So people who may know Michael Burry will know him from the book or the movie, The Big Short.

Speaker 13 And he was one of the key figures that sniffed out what was going on with the mortgage crisis, made these big bets, and

Speaker 13 won in that particular case. He's made a lot of predictions.
Some of them, you know, just like anybody else in the stock market, some of them work, some of them don't.

Speaker 13 And obviously, it's a function of timing. He has done this with options.
So the trillion dollars that you're looking at is the notional value.

Speaker 13 That means if everything were to come to fruition, that could be potentially what it's worth. But that's not how much he put up.

Speaker 13 He put up a fraction of that because he's putting on options and betting against it. I think the concern.

Speaker 4 When you do that and you lose, don't you have to cough up the money?

Speaker 13 No. So when you buy an option, you're buying a contract for a fraction of its value.
So it's sort of like placing a fractional bet.

Speaker 13 So if I think that the stock market is going to go up, I might buy a call option and it says, okay, well, in the future on this particular date, if it's gone up 20%, I get a huge windfall, but I only have to pay a tiny fraction of that to make that bet.

Speaker 13 And so many, most of these things expire and you lose that small amount, but when you get it right, it's a big potential payoff.

Speaker 4 So

Speaker 4 according to the Securities and Exchange Commission, he filed on Monday, more than 93% of his entire portfolio is now betting against the stock market.

Speaker 13 Yes. So basically, there is this notion out there amongst the investors that the Fed is putting forth of what is called a soft landing.

Speaker 13 And that is that the Fed is going to be able to control inflation without disrupting the economy.

Speaker 13 And some of the issues that we've been talking about, you know, whether it's the bank potential for a bank crisis or the stickiness of inflation, creates a lot of concerns over whether that can actually be achieved.

Speaker 13 And it may not be achieved in one of two ways. Either you don't get the inflation down and that causes a series of problems, or you do get the inflation down and you do that by disrupting the economy.

Speaker 13 So based on the things that he's seeing, and certainly I haven't had the chance to speak with him yet, but given his interest in banks, it could be some of the headwinds in banks.

Speaker 13 We've seen a downgrade of some of the banks. We've seen Fitch say that they may have to downgrade even the big banks.
We've seen an FDIC report showing concern.

Speaker 13 We've seen an academic report showing concern over the banking sector, even though we're telling that that's correct.

Speaker 13 You know, that may be the source of what he's concerned about, not to mention the commercial real estate issues there, since that's an area that he's been focused on previously.

Speaker 13 But that's just speculation on my part because I haven't heard why it is that specifically that he's betting against him. But there's plenty of choices to be made.

Speaker 4 So let me take a break. And when we come back, I want to talk to you about the commercial real estate market because

Speaker 4 there's an enormous amount of

Speaker 4 money

Speaker 4 in buildings that need to be refinanced. And

Speaker 4 some of these big companies are just turning the buildings over to the banks and saying, take it, and walking away. That can't happen

Speaker 4 very many times before

Speaker 4 things begin to collapse. And if you look at San Francisco and Los Angeles, they are ghost towns.
And somebody is responsible for all of that money in those buildings.

Speaker 4 So I want to talk to you about that and also

Speaker 4 Ford.

Speaker 4 Ford seems to be hemorrhaging money. And how long can that go on before somebody says, okay, we're out of the electric vehicle business? Back in just a second.

Speaker 4 Ryan lives in Alabama, and over the past few years, he's been suffering from pain so frequent and so so debilitating that it has limited his mobility.

Speaker 4 Like millions of Americans who suffer from pain, Brian was beginning to despair. He had a number of different things.

Speaker 4 He had tried, none of them worked or left him feeling less lucid than he cared to be. So this past year, Brian stumbled across the solution.

Speaker 4 He heard me talking about Relief Factor and decided, I'm going to give it a try. He didn't have anything to lose except 1995.

Speaker 4 It turned out what he had to lose was about 90% of his pain in the first three weeks. Brian got his life back.

Speaker 4 Will you please just try this? It's not a drug. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more because they're like me or they're like Brian.

Speaker 4 ReliefFactor.com 8004 Relief. 800, the number 4 Relief.
Get the $19.95 three-week quick start. ReliefFactor.com or call 800, the number four relief.
Relief Factor, feel the difference.

Speaker 4 10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 4 So I was talking to

Speaker 4 a real estate guy, and he said,

Speaker 4 in the future,

Speaker 4 when we have all EVs, all of these parking garages are not built to hold that much weight.

Speaker 4 If you swap cars out for EVs, those things are just going to collapse.

Speaker 4 And he said, and we're not sure if cars are really going to be around. So some of us are looking at parking structures.

Speaker 4 And can we build them in such a way where we can make apartments out of them eventually? And it's like, this is crazy, just crazy. And I know some

Speaker 4 cities are looking to convert these giant work towers into apartments and condominiums, but there's no place for people to go and to shop and to work in some of these cities.

Speaker 4 How much commercial real estate is coming up for renewal?

Speaker 4 And

Speaker 4 what do you suppose is going to happen?

Speaker 13 Yes, it just so happens that I have written on this previously.

Speaker 13 So there was a report from Morgan Stanley, from their chief investment officer, and they said that basically about half of mortgage debt in commercial real estate is coming up for financing in the next two years.

Speaker 13 But the part of commercial real estate that really is having the biggest issues is the office space, right?

Speaker 13 Because they're dealing with the work-from-home situation and the fact that these cities have been decimated by crime and nobody wants to go into the office.

Speaker 13 So, it basically they said almost a quarter of the mortgages on office buildings have to be refinanced by the end of this year. And one of the issues This year, 2023.

Speaker 13 So, this is an ongoing issue.

Speaker 13 And so, they're facing that double whammy that now the interest rates are higher and their occupancy rates are lower because people aren't going back to work, which is why you're seeing in some cases the people just giving up and giving the keys back to the bank.

Speaker 13 The issue, you know, as it relates to the banking sector, as we were just talking about, is that in some cases, it's some of these smaller regional banks that have a lot of exposure to commercial real estate.

Speaker 13 So that is a big potential issue in terms of stability. Now, we've seen the Federal Reserve step up and backstop all kinds of crazy things on balance sheets before.

Speaker 13 And certainly in the short term, we've seen them backstop the long-dated treasury securities. So whether they're going to have to come in and do something for commercial real estate,

Speaker 13 I think that's a

Speaker 13 big possibility. And it seems like so far they've been willing to do that, because if they don't do that, then it is utter chaos in the banking sector.

Speaker 13 And then all bets are off, which is, you know, tying it back to what we were talking about with Michael Burry, given the fact that he has been so focused on the banking sector.

Speaker 13 I do just wonder if, you know, that is the area that he's most laser focused on here.

Speaker 4 So, I mean,

Speaker 4 how much can a bank take on? I just look at San Francisco.

Speaker 4 San Francisco is a ghost town. It is,

Speaker 4 It's unlike anything. Every time I see it, you remember the movie which Arlton Heston called The Omega Man or

Speaker 4 the Will Smith movie.

Speaker 4 What was it?

Speaker 4 Yeah, I am Legend. Oh, I am Legend, yes.
Where he's alone in New York. It's like that in San Francisco.
It's crazy.

Speaker 13 It is. I don't know if you know that.
I started my career in San Francisco. I actually worked in the Trans-America Pyramid Building.
That's where I started my career.

Speaker 13 And my husband's from the Bay Area. And to see what has happened to that city is an utter travesty.

Speaker 13 In fact, one of its long-term retailers, this fabulous, high-end, beautiful retailer called Gumps, that's a independent boutique store, put this letter, this open letter to the mayor and to Gavin Newsom, basically begging and pleading for them to just do their jobs.

Speaker 13 saying that this is untenable and saying that they've been around for over 100 years, that this may be their last year in business because they just can't do it from a safety perspective um you know and from you know all the issues the crime and and everything else that's going on in that city so it it's a it's a huge issue right so just that one city if they don't turn that one city around that could take banks down could it not several

Speaker 13 I mean, I think it would certainly create a lot of potential issues. And you have to realize, as you said, said, it's just that one city, but it's not just that one city.

Speaker 13 And you see what's happening in my one of my other places of residence, Chicago,

Speaker 13 and particularly on Michigan Avenue, which was the shopping mecca, and all of the retailers that have flown there.

Speaker 13 Was that no, they people have just absolutely hightailed it out of there because they can't deal with the crime situation and all of the looting and the fact that people haven't been coming back to the city in the same way.

Speaker 13 So, these are substantial issues. So you have that from a

Speaker 13 retail perspective, and then you have the office building perspective.

Speaker 13 And all of these things feed on each other because if you don't have people coming into the offices, then you don't have the foot traffic for, say, the other small businesses.

Speaker 13 So it really becomes this big chain. And yes, there are a lot of banks and financial institutions that are financing this.

Speaker 13 And some of the big banks may be able to absorb it, but from a smaller or regional bank perspective that has any level of meaningful exposure to this industry, it is a huge issue.

Speaker 13 And that's why those red flags are being raised.

Speaker 4 Okay, back in just a second. I want to talk about your finances.
You know, what is it? What does all of this mean to you?

Speaker 4 And

Speaker 4 are we living in an age like happened in the Great Depression, where household names are just gone.

Speaker 4 How long can Ford lose billions of dollars year after year after year

Speaker 4 and still stay in business? And they're losing it because of the EV.

Speaker 4 Back in a minute.

Speaker 4 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 4 If you don't believe me when I say everything the Fed's been up to is leading us down the primrose path towards a digital dollar, something that will allow the government to do whatever they feel like to the value of your money, including canceling it, then at the very least, you should get on Goldline's email list and check out the articles they have on this subject.

Speaker 4 Uncle Glenn is not the one that is crazy. Securing your financial future and

Speaker 4 your future of your family is not a joke. Please do your homework.
In these uncertain times, having something tangible always feels like a lifeline.

Her new book is out. It is called You Will Own Nothing.

Speaker 4 Makes a great companion book to Dark Future, which is both of them are on sale wherever you buy your books. A lot of people buy them together.
They're good companion books.

Speaker 4 I wanted to talk to you, Carol, about

Speaker 4 the idea that we're living in a time period where we could see brand names that we all grew up with just gone,

Speaker 4 like Ford.

Speaker 4 is

Speaker 4 how long can Ford make EVs lose the kind of money that they are

Speaker 4 and still maintain Ford?

Speaker 13 So this is an incredible history rhyming situation, if you follow me for a second. So as we know, Ford lost more than $2 billion

Speaker 13 last year. The first half of this year was about $1.8 billion.

Speaker 13 And basically, that is because of their EVs. They have this high cost of EVs.
They cannot compete

Speaker 13 for the components. They're getting a lot of the materials from China.
It's costing more than they had expected.

Speaker 13 And on top of that, people aren't really that interested in paying that much for electric vehicles.

Speaker 13 So the rest of their business is subsidizing the EV business to a point, but obviously they are losing money.

Speaker 13 Not to mention the fact that China has these tiny little EVs, some of which start just over 10,000 US dollars that have been penetrating not only China, but Europe. Here's the rhyme for me, Glenn.

Speaker 13 Go back to 1979.

Speaker 13 What happened in 1979 is the U.S. under Jimmy Carter, which

Speaker 13 we're feeling very much like this is a repeat of the Jimmy Carter administration,

Speaker 13 they gave China most favored nation status. And that started to accelerate this export of capitalism to China.

Speaker 13 Eventually, by the Clinton administration, we got to permanent normalized trade relations and then walked them into the World Trade Organization.

Speaker 13 We lifted up almost a billion people out of poverty in China, but that export of capitalism decimated our manufacturing, decimated our wages here in the U.S., and basically gave China this huge advantage on the international stage.

Speaker 13 The green movement is doing the same thing again. China has an advantage from a manufacturing standpoint.
They have an advantage from a wage standpoint. We are moving away from traditional energy.

Speaker 13 So they have an advantage from that standpoint. They have the rare earth minerals and whatnot that they can mine.
So we are basically giving them the opportunity to put...

Speaker 13 our companies here, our flagship companies, companies like Ford, out of business by pushing this insane green agenda. And I am just watching this and going, This is exactly what happened.

Speaker 13 People were greedy. The leaders thought that they could just take advantage of this situation and it would really work out.
And it decimated so many people

Speaker 13 at the expense of just a handful of people. And the absolute same thing is happening again.

Speaker 4 So Ford sells trucks. They're known for their trucks.

Speaker 4 And to get a truck, a new Ford truck, you'll wait months for it.

Speaker 4 Again, how long can Ford abuse its brand, abuse its buyers,

Speaker 4 not be able to produce en masse what they are known for, what the people want from them,

Speaker 4 and hammerage this kind of money? How long can a company like that last?

Speaker 13 Well, it depends on the powers be that

Speaker 13 did the auto bailouts and now are pushing the green agenda. It depends if they want to come to the rescue.
Are they going to give them special subsidies?

Speaker 13 Are they going to give them special tax breaks?

Speaker 13 Are they going to funnel some kind of money their way in order to make this insane dream that really can't happen at scale and reality try to come to fruition? So, without that,

Speaker 13 I would think that it would be a much shorter trajectory, although we've seen companies hang on longer than expected. But with the aid of the people who want this to be a reality,

Speaker 13 this can go on for a very long time. But eventually, what will happen is you will get some administration that will allow Chinese vehicles to come into this market.

Speaker 13 And they will have to make some modifications.

Speaker 13 So they will be slightly more expensive than the $10,000 or $10.15,000 we see, but they will still be less expensive than Ford or GM or of the other major car companies here in the United States.

Speaker 13 And for anybody who wants an electric vehicle or is forced into one, they're going to probably go in many cases with the low-cost provider.

Speaker 13 And yeah, eventually these companies will be put out of business and China will be the one who ends up winning because of our own stupidity and policy.

Speaker 4 Why can they make those cars so much cheaper than us?

Speaker 13 I mean,

Speaker 4 it's it's $40,000 cheaper. That's a lot of money.

Speaker 13 So they have access to the raw materials, right? It's their raw materials, so we can't get them at a markup. From a manufacturing standpoint, they have a wage advantage.

Speaker 13 We know that we have a very high cost of labor here in the United States, vis-a-vis most places, but particularly vis-a-vis China.

Speaker 13 And as we continue to transition away from other energy, traditional fossil fuels that are required to, you know, as part of the manufacturing process, that's going to be part of the issues as well.

Speaker 13 So all of those costs end up adding up.

Speaker 13 And, you know, you can put some tariffs on, you can put some duties, but China has a massive advantage. And we keep talking about bringing manufacturing back here to America.

Speaker 13 We're not going to be able to compete on wages. Nobody's going to want to get the wages down.
Certainly the unions don't want to stand down.

Speaker 13 So that means in order for us to be competitive at all, we need to be all in on traditional energy sources. And what's happening? We have this huge move in the opposite direction.

Speaker 13 This is basic common sense. This is basic math.
And

Speaker 13 these ideas that they have are just, again, rainbows and unicorns that don't exist in reality.

Speaker 4 So do you ever, do you ever think, Carol,

Speaker 4 my wife came home the other day and she was at a, she had a stop for gas, and it was at night. And she stopped in a, you know, not the best neighborhood.

Speaker 4 And she said, honey, I was terrified to get out of the car. She said, I don't think I want my car anymore.
She has a nice car. She said, I just want to beat her.

Speaker 4 She said, because I don't want to be a target at a gas station. And she's right.

Speaker 4 And there are things are changing on the ground.

Speaker 4 Harvard is now telling their grad students to apply for food stamps. Food stamps.
Harvard is saying that.

Speaker 4 At what point does the American, do the American people, do you ever think about this where they go, you know, those rich sons and they just go get them? I mean,

Speaker 4 that is a huge fear of mine.

Speaker 13 I think about this constantly. I think about it constantly.
I mean, Harvard, I'm the one that coined the phrase that Harvard is a hedge fund with a university attached to it.

Speaker 13 The fact that they have a $53 billion endowment that's going out and doing things like buying up land and water rights, and that they're encouraging their grad students who are doing, you know, a bulk of the teaching and that they severely underpay to go on the government dole is absolutely disgusting, just like it was disgusting that they were going to take some of the CARES Act dollars until some of us raised our voices about that and forced them to change that around.

Speaker 13 But I think about this all the time. I mean, this is the issue.

Speaker 13 When we look at the quote-unquote overall economy, it looks stable because there's a small group of people who have done incredibly well on the back of monetary and fiscal policy.

Speaker 13 But the average person, Main Street America, is suffering and they are not being able to participate in the American Dream. They have Wall Street coming in and trying to compete with them for a home.

Speaker 13 They cannot buy their food. This is not how we allow America to move forward.

Speaker 13 And if we don't stop this, if we don't allow the American dream to exist for everyone, there will be civil unrest because it just cannot be sustained.

Speaker 13 There's absolutely no reason why Harvard should not be providing food for their grad students when they have a $53 billion endowment.

Speaker 13 And it seems almost like it's deliberate because I don't know how these big entities, these incredibly wealthy entities are not seeing the writing on the wall.

Speaker 13 If you go back to Henry Ford, it was, yes, I want to make a bunch of money making cars, but I want to make sure that everyone who works in my factory can get paid and afford to buy one.

Speaker 13 And we have gotten away from that principle and we have to preserve the American dream for the middle class.

Speaker 4 Carol, thank you so much. As always, good to talk to you.
Carol Roth, she has written the new book, You Will Own Nothing.

Speaker 4 Join the conversation. 888-727-BEC.

Speaker 4 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 4 It's about this time,

Speaker 4 about this time every day that we look at our lives and we look at the news and

Speaker 4 Stu tries to talk me into drinking again.

Speaker 4 I mean, it would be huge for the show. It would really benefit the show.
A lot of people would tune in to see what happens. I don't think a good friend does this to an alcoholic.

Speaker 4 No, I don't think they would either.

Speaker 4 If you find somebody in that particular circumstance, you let me know. All right.

Speaker 4 Thought. But no, I'm not going to be your friend, especially after what you've done today.
What have I done today? You have not told America about the big story of the day.

Speaker 4 Oh, have I missed the big story again? You're lying to them. I mean, lying by omission, but you're lying to them.
Okay, what is why won't you discuss what's really going on?

Speaker 4 Well, I did discuss the transgender American who joined the

Speaker 4 Israel that joined the Ukrainian army and is now the spokesperson for Ukraine to the United States. Okay, I'll admit that is absolutely the biggest story of the day.

Speaker 4 But the second biggest story of the day is. Who is qualified for the debate, which is one week away? We have some people who have qualified.
And by the way, not everyone you're thinking.

Speaker 4 We've got Tim Scott, he's in 100%. Ramaswamy in.
Haley in. DeSantis in.

Speaker 4 Now, Trump, people are saying he's in. Technically, he's supposed to sign the loyalty pledge, which he has not done and says he will not do.
He's not going to. Right, I don't think he is either.

Speaker 4 Now, we all expect him to not show up at this point, although who knows?

Speaker 4 There was some speculation, by the way, as he would wait until right before the debate to turn himself in for this indictment so it would totally overshadow the debate. Oh, wow.

Speaker 4 That totally seems like something he would do. But let me ask you something.
If you were him

Speaker 4 and all you had to do is sign a loyalty pledge that I'm not going to go against the Republicans. What does he care? Yeah, what do you care? I mean, oh, he's a liar, really, along with a Russian spy.

Speaker 4 Right. What are you going to do? You know, embezzler, you know, peeing on hookers.
I mean, really?

Speaker 4 Now, two other people have qualified for this debate but have not signed the loyalty pledge and i don't know will they chris christie is he gonna sign a loyalty pledge that says he's gonna vote for donald trump is there a hot dog involved

Speaker 4 well then of course he would have signed it i mean yeah what kind of question is that mike pence is another where like would he sign it for i mean he's saying you know he shouldn't have shut up for a hot dog

Speaker 4 hot dog in a bible maybe but that's that's one two three four five six seven that are in that's not that bad. That's a big theory.

Speaker 4 It's not as big a field as we might have hoped or thought it was going to be. It didn't grow into that 22, 23.
Yeah, I didn't hope for that. No, I didn't hope for that.
No, no, no.

Speaker 4 I'm saying the opposite. Yeah.

Speaker 4 However,

Speaker 4 you have totally ignored and denied the knowledge to your audience for weeks now

Speaker 4 that Doug Bergham is in this debate. Wow, Doug Bergum.
Doug freaking Bergham. Doug Bergham.
Bergamentum is here. Yeah.
Bergamania has arrived. Bergum is from what state again?

Speaker 4 Not that I don't remember my statement. You don't know.

Speaker 4 No, I know. So pathetic.
I know. That you play these games

Speaker 4 in North Dakota. North Dakota.
Governor of North Dakota, Doug Bergham. Doug Bergham.
Has hit the donors, which he was paying $20 for each $1 donation.

Speaker 4 He has met the polling, and he's signed the loyalty pledge. He is in.
Yeah. Now, I've read something about Doug Bergham,

Speaker 4 and it was pretty scandalous. It was like he was for, I don't know, Karl Marx.
He had him over for dinner. It was something.

Speaker 4 No, it wasn't that, but it was something like that. But I care so little about Doug Bergham, I don't remember what it was.
Well, you're going to care

Speaker 4 one week from tonight. We should look him up because I don't think he's actually on our side.
I think he's actually on our side. It's funny.

Speaker 4 He's one of those guys I really have not looked into all that much. I know, and I think you should because there was something like, I don't know, maybe making out with Lennon's wife.

Speaker 4 I don't know what it was.

Speaker 4 That doesn't seem likely from just timeline. I just remember it not seeming likely that the guy was a Republican either.
Ah. So we should look into him.
Can we get a bergam update tomorrow?

Speaker 4 A bergam update? Yeah. A bergamentum update? Yes.
A bergamentum burgamania.

Speaker 4 Please stop saying it because it makes me think of burgers, which I really, really want, but I don't have any food, so I'm going to have to eat Sarah. in a nice delicious bun.

Speaker 4 That sounds sad. That sounds sad.
For Sarah. For, yeah.
For me, me,

Speaker 4 for me, it's pretty good.

Speaker 4 So, all right, Bergamentum tomorrow. You give us an update? We will.
Because I swear to you,

Speaker 4 maybe it was just that he was in a seance with Hitler. I don't think so.
