And you might say, well, which one of the 27 Biden emergencies are you talking about?

Well, none of them.

I'm talking about, of course, the emergency in the solar energy

realm that is justifying all sorts of executive action.

We'll get into that today as well.

And all of the new gun laws being passed around the country.

You're gonna love this list It's fantastic and there's more and more to come We'll get into that on today's program and today's podcast is brought to you by gold line something amazing tons of Americans still don't know about it is possible to use your retirement account to acquire precious metals that could be saving up for retirement also building a protective wall against the inflation and the forms of economic insanity that are coming our way.

You're listening to

the best of the Blenbeck program.

Los Angeles, San Francisco, and California.

We are going to know a lot about the direction of our country by this time tomorrow, depending on what the left does in California.

Their primary is today.

And it looks pretty grim for Democrats.

Now, the Democrats are throwing around a poll right now that shows some interesting things about Kamala Harris.

I'll get to that here in a second.

But I want to also show you the poll numbers just to show you the direction of America.

The support for late-term abortion is 15% in the country.

63%

say our country is on the wrong track.

Only 16% of America thinks that we will avoid a recession.

62%

think Biden is unfit.

74% want a balanced budget.

68% want a Keystone pipeline restored.

67% want Biden to be more moderate.

73% want drilling and gas opened.

61% think more spending will increase inflation.

69% of the people think Fetus is viable at or before 16 weeks.

77% thinks that the SCOTUS leak was only to subvert the ruling.

82% want tougher prosecution and sentencing to solve crime.

65%

say we need enforcement, not new gun laws.

And 53% think Biden uses violence for political advantage.

Now think of that.

You think that America doesn't get it.

She's waking up.

Those numbers are astonishing.

Now, the Mark Penn poll that comes out shows that Kamala Harris is slightly beating DeSantis.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

And I'm sure that is, that's just, you know, questioning average Americans.

I think Kamala Harris is somebody that everybody can get behind.

So let's look at what

Californians have to decide.

They're holding their primary elections today,

and

some high-profile incumbents are up for re-election.

52 House races,

a senator running in two separate races, and a competitive showdown for a Los Angeles mayor.

The guy who looks like, do you know anything about him, Stu?

The guy that looks like he may win

just became a Democrat.

He's a lifelong Republican, I guess.

And he is now

running to take over

the mayoral

office in Los Angeles.

He's a major real estate developer.

He just recently joined the Democratic Party, received a rare endorsement from Elon Musk, has spent more than $34 million on his campaign.

That's 10 times more than his main opponent.

His opponent is a six-term Democrat, Karen Bass,

and he has tapped in to the idea that

Democratic leaders have taken California and pushed it into the ocean.

That would be remarkable if he would win

in the primary today.

Yeah, Elon Musk, kind of throwing his weight behind him, was a big,

got a lot of attention there.

Although Karen Karen Bass was one of the people, if you remember, discussed as one of the potential vice presidential picks when Joe Biden limited the field to only one of the two genders and one skin color.

And when he did that, he decided to,

Karen Bass was one of the finalists, but no one really knew kind of who she was.

But she's turned that sort of increased notoriety into this run, which may be successful.

I mean, you'd think Los Angeles would pick the most crazy progressive option possible, but they've had to deal with the results of these policies for a very long time.

And I think someone who's on the Democratic side is still a D on the ballot, but is endorsed by someone like Elon Musk might be something they're interested in and changing it up a little bit.

It's what we talked about with Michael Schellenberger yesterday, who's running as an independent.

You know, someone who is

different and maybe could change the dynamics of the state in a way that I think people in California would really like.

I have to tell you, I think that there is

tomorrow at this time, we could see a very different

look at what is coming.

I mean, we think it's going to be good for Republicans.

If this happens in California, because there's another story coming out of San Francisco,

and

it looks like the prosecutor is going to be thrown out.

Now,

this is somebody whose parents were members of the Weather Underground.

They were in prison during his childhood.

He went to Yale, earned a Rhodes Scholarship, and then became

a DA with the help of George Soros, embraced Black Lives Matter, called for a new approaching to policing, and that's why you have the reign of criminals

there in San Francisco.

So now, and remember,

this is where

Kamala Harris was the DA.

And now it looks like

there is a real chance that he goes night night in California.

Another shockwave.

Another shockwave.

Some of the others that are happening around the country, do you have any of them?

I know in Iowa, there's

a couple of shockwaves

in Montana.

A second congressional seat has just been gained in the latest redistricting.

Ryan, is it Zinke, who served as the Interior Secretary under President Trump, is expected to win the GOP nomination as the Republican leading district.

That's really good.

Yeah, there's a bunch.

I think there's 16 primaries today, 16 states,

or

16.

Sorry, I'm reading the wrong headline there.

So see, we've got New Jersey.

You got

flipping through here.

Mississippi is

South Dakota is today.

Iowa is today.

New Mexico is today.

Montana is today.

So you got, I don't know, six or seven states there.

A bunch of races that are, you know, there's, I don't think there's anything like headline grabbing like there was in Pennsylvania and Georgia.

Those are the states that were kind of big news.

I don't know if we did, I think we did mention yesterday, Dr.

Oz did officially win that.

McCormick

conceded that race.

So he will be going up

against

Federman in that primary in Pennsylvania.

But I mean, you know, it's like, we're getting into this.

This is, you watch the way the left is acting right now, and that tells you exactly how well they think this is going to go.

And they do not, they see what I think we all see, which is a potential, potential for a

historic wave election.

This is it.

I mean, this is a, there is a real opportunity here.

Rarely do you see a president after only two years fall to the depths of 34% approval rating?

This is being handed to Republicans on a silver platter.

It's just a matter if they knock it over or not.

So here is the problem that I see, Stu, is I don't know if you saw the

executive order that went out.

The emergency powers was used now

for this climate emergency, which hasn't officially been declared, but

that was last week's episode on the Wednesday night special that they are going to declare a climate emergency which will give the the president all kinds of unlimited power.

And yesterday, did you see that he enacted the Defense Production Act?

Yeah, on solar panels, was it?

Uh-huh.

So he says we're having an energy crisis and a global warming crisis, and we've got to get these solar panels done.

Now, it surprisingly, and I'm sure he didn't know this, helps China,

but he's got that one done for us.

And now it's in a fascistic sort of way the government has declared, the president has declared the Defense Emergency Act where he can go in and say, Producers, you have to produce these things.

I don't care what you say.

The government is now telling you, do these things for energy.

Yeah, the absolutely terrible new press secretary was asked about this.

This is clip one, by the way.

And, you know, she is not prepared for any of this stuff.

She doesn't seem to have any idea what's coming.

Everything is a surprise.

And the only way she responds to this stuff typically is reading it.

She was asked about this solar emergency that we were just learning about.

This is yesterday.

What emergency is the president using to invoke the Defense Production Act?

Because historically, it's been in the 1950s for the Korean War and during COVID it was enacted.

What emergency is it, or what's the real emergency in the solar industry for the Defense Production Act?

So, let me, I was going to say first, the President, you know, when he takes the Defense Protection Act, it's to make sure that he's delivering for the American people.

It is an important tool that he has used a couple of times, and it has been incredibly

effective.

What's the emergency in the solar industry?

Has it been used since the Korean War?

to get to a place where we do have a clean energy arsenal and so this is a very important part of the president's this is a very important part of the president's

agenda in getting to that clean energy

system that he's been talking about since he walked into the administration so this is that and this is a way that we think that we can act to get moving in that way now that's just not how this works that's not how any of this works you don't just come up with an agenda and start doing forcing companies to make the products you want that's not how this country operates.

You have to have an agenda.

That's fascistic.

Right.

Yes.

Yes.

That is fascistic.

And on top of it, this is the great reset.

He's just moving forward with it.

Now, remember what he just said, what that reporter just said.

The president has used this now two times in his first term.

The last time it was used was during war in Korea.

This is not something you use to

and take it lightly.

This is defense production.

And he's now saying we're trying to defend ourselves against global warming.

This is extraordinarily dangerous.

Now, just like

in theory, you have a president who, when you have a president that bumbles and doesn't know what he's talking about as much as Joe Biden, you have a press secretary that comes in and cleans it up.

We saw that with Jensaki occasionally.

And she was not a great press secretary by any means, but now they need to have people come in and clean up the words of the press secretary who had absolutely no idea, apparently, that you can't just use the Defense Production Act to forward your policy agenda.

That's not what it's for.

So they did come in later and clean up and said, the emergency that justifies this is the drought.

So in theory, what we're seeing is we have a drought in the West, and what we're going to do is force companies to build solar panels, which if we did it at a scale that no one can possibly imagine might shave off one-tenth of a degree Celsius over the next 50 years, but that's how they're going to deal with the emergency drought.

Unbelievable.

Incredible.

Wait until we have a food emergency, an energy emergency, the climate emergency, a monkeypox emergency.

This is how you lose your nation to fascism, no matter what Antifa says.

This is a fascistic move.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

We welcome now Alex Berenson.

Hello, Alex.

How are you, sir?

Hey, Glenn, good to talk to you.

Good to talk to you.

Thank you for coming on.

I think what you're doing here is extraordinarily important.

Whether you agreed with the, you know,

the vaccine or not, it doesn't matter.

What's the truth on that?

And is the government shutting people up in collusion with these drug companies?

And that's what you're looking for, correct?

Well, so yeah, I mean, look, I'm a big believer in free speech.

And, you know, I

think that used to be something that, you know, people on the left generally agreed about.

You know, and I think actually, you know, the ACLU famously, you know,

they would support neo-Nazis and they would defend anybody's right to speak.

And,

you know,

that's where I stand on this, okay?

That people should have the right to speak, even

as long as they're not saying, you know, as long as they're not telling somebody, you know, go murder, you know, my,

you know, the president.

There can be limits, okay, but there can be very narrow limits.

Okay.

So, so that's where I come from on this issue.

And it's, and it's incredibly disappointing to me that my former colleagues at the New York Times and other places, you know, on the left don't seem to agree about this anymore.

So, yes, Twitter banned me in August of 2021 for a tweet that begins that it doesn't stop infection or transmission.

And I was writing about the vaccines.

Now, I don't think anybody in the world at this point disagrees with that.

The vaccines do not stop infection or transmission.

So I, in December, sued and said, you know, you violated my free speech rights and

you breached your contract with me.

And specifically, Twitter knew who I was.

And I had been in communication with a pretty senior executive there who for more than a year in 2020 and 2021 told me that what I was doing was okay.

So, and suddenly in July of 2021, everything changed.

And it changed in a week when Joe Biden said that the social media platforms were killing people.

That was his words.

He said, they're killing people.

Wow.

So, so something changed in terms of Twitter's posture towards me in July 2021 and August 2021.

So, so, so in late.

Okay, so wait, wait, wait.

When did you say say that it doesn't stop transmission?

When did you make that tweet?

In August.

But I had been

aggressively skeptical about the value of the vaccines almost since they were initially released.

And we could talk about why I felt that way, but that's a whole nother conversation.

But by the way, I wasn't saying, hey, the vaccines are a part of a depopulation campaign.

I didn't talk about stuff like that.

I just said, I don't think these things work as well

as has been claimed.

And because, as you as you mentioned to your listeners, I used to cover the pharmaceutical industry for the New York Times.

So I'm very skeptical of the way they run clinical trials.

I'm very aware of the games they play, which again is something that people on the left used to understand.

They used to understand that these companies, I know,

they're nobody's friend.

Okay.

They may sometimes make good products,

but they're in it for the money.

Can I ask you a question?

How shocking is it that you and I,

me,

and you,

agree on freedom of speech, that you have the right to question anything,

and that we would agree that it's not part of a depopulation plan, et cetera, et cetera.

But

pharmaceutical companies should always be questioned.

They are very dangerous if they're not questioned.

That's right.

And, you know, I mean, everything from the price of insulin to the price of EpiPens, I mean, these companies don't act in the public interest.

They act in their own interests.

And, you know, that's kind of what a capitalist system is.

But we need to know that and question it.

So I had been questioning the vaccines with Twitter's full knowledge and

essentially approval for months and months.

And then in July 2021, everything changed.

And these companies at that time, Twitter and Facebook especially, were under tremendous pressure from the federal government about vaccines and vaccine uptake.

So I sued in December and in April, about a month, just over a month ago, a federal judge in California,

and he's not a Trump judge, he's a Clinton judge, by the way,

said that some of my claims could go forward and that Twitter was going to have to provide information to me about what they've been saying about me, but also about what other people, including in the federal government, including drug companies, including everywhere, had been saying about me.

And so I'm going to get a look at how this censorship process works.

And that is unique.

I mean, even the Trump lawsuit was dismissed.

These lawsuits are almost always dismissed.

And so

whatever it is, and I don't know what they have in there, I'll find out.

That's why it's called discovery.

And maybe, you know, maybe nobody said anything to them.

We will find out.

But I'm in a unique position here, and I'm pretty excited about it

from the point of view of being a reporter and from the point of view of

being able to tell other people about this.

So I have the lawsuit and I'm raising money right now with this with a GoFundMe campaign because it is expensive, but I'm not going to run out of money.

People have donated a lot of money to this.

If people want to join you on this fight, how can they donate money?

They can go to GoFundMe, put in my name, which is Berenson, B-E-R-E-N-S-O-N,

and it should come up.

It says fight social media censorship.

That's the name of the campaign.

Fight social media censorship.

And I know people don't like it.

Why do you think, Alex, yours.

Sorry.

Right.

I know, I know, I know.

Alex, why do you think that this

did go forward where Trump's didn't, et cetera, et cetera?

Why do you think the judge singled your case out?

I think he looked at the facts and he said,

you know, this guy was in communication with Twitter for more than a year and he was writing all this stuff.

But in 2020, before the vaccines came out, well, you know, I sort of first came to people's attention because I was saying things like, look, the schools should not be closed.

Kids are not at risk.

And, you know, the teachers' unions hated that.

Trump got in trouble for that.

And that's now accepted wisdom.

Okay,

I was pretty early on that.

And I was arguing, hey, we don't have very good evidence that masks work.

They don't really seem to work very well.

This is mainly theater.

I would say that's largely accepted wisdom now.

So I was prominently questioning all of the non-vaccine stuff.

And I have, again, I have these communications with Twitter showing that they knew what I was doing.

And I would say they were even encouraging me to do it.

So because of the facts pattern that I have, where things changed dramatically in July of 2021, I think we got a judge who was willing to look at the facts and say, this guy's got a real case here.

He's got a real case that Twitter violated its own contract with him.

I'm going to let this go forward.

Alex,

back in the 1850s, 1860s, Abraham Lincoln had what he called the Wide Awake Club, and it was for people who were wide awake about slavery, et cetera, et cetera.

Why do you suppose

so many people, and I would say on both sides, are just fighting this

political fight, and especially on the left right now,

where you have some really fascistic things happening that the left has always been against?

Why have so many people fallen asleep?

You know, it's a great question.

It's funny.

Tucker Carlson, who I talk to from time to time, he has a theory about this.

I think there may be some truth in it, which is that we're living, especially on the left, in sort of a post-religious world,

a world where a lot of people don't believe in God.

And so they're searching for something else to take the place of that faith.

And so politics for some people has become that.

And look, that could happen on the right or the left, but I think

when you don't have any sort of acquaintance with with spirituality or with God, I think it can be easier for that to happen for you.

I think that's one reason.

I also think you know there's now, I mean, to some extent, you know, you're an example of it, you know, on one side and a place like MSNBC is an example of it on the other side.

There is this, there are so many

places where people can go just to hear their own side.

And so, and that's one reason I really want to be back on Twitter, or I think it would be important for me to be back on Twitter, is people say, oh, just go on True Social.

And I said, I don't want to talk to people who just want to hear who already agree with me.

I want to talk to people who

want me.

I don't want that either.

Right?

And let them try to convince you.

That's how that's how it gets better.

And that's what the West has forgotten.

It's important.

I mean,

it's a religious idea from the scriptures.

Opposition in all things.

There must be opposition in all things.

We need each other.

We don't, we're not successful without somebody going, wait a minute, that doesn't make any sense.

It's that give and take that.

I honestly think what made us who we are

and gave us the great technology and the life-saving drugs and everything else.

If you're not allowed to think, you're back in the dark ages.

If you're not allowed, if you're only listening to one side, and I would go a step further, if you are the kind of person that if somebody makes a great case you don't say well now wait a minute I never thought of it that way hang on

and it would admit that that changed your mind or it might change your mind then you're you're you're playing the same game that is going to get us in trouble yes and by the way it's not just politics that's true of science too right the the notion everything yeah of course

that that these people don't want to be challenged that fauci doesn't want to be challenged or

the epidemiologist can't be challenged is crazy.

And

it's led to a lot of trouble the last couple of years.

Science,

you said that you thought that Tucker Carlson

may have something to that point, but that's actually Nietzsche.

And he was absolutely right.

When there is no God, you will replace it with something.

And I think we're replacing it with politics or politicians or science.

And we have developed a religion.

You will bow to these gods and you will say nothing or you're a heretic and will burn you at the stake or drive you out of society.

Yep.

You know, somebody of all the emails, I've gotten so many emails from so many people the last couple of years, the one that struck me more than any other was somebody who emailed me.

He said, you know, I thought before all this started that the two most powerful emotions were love and hate.

He said, but I was wrong.

The most powerful emotion is fear.

And it's true.

If you scare people, and the left has done, I mean, look, the right does it too, but the left has done just a tremendous job of scaring people about COVID, about Donald Trump, about, you know, about lots of stuff.

When you scare people, they stop thinking.

And we can't stop thinking.

Amen.

It is great to talk to you, and I wish you the best of luck.

And again,

if you want to help out and you want to donate,

just

go to

what is the

GoFundMe.

What is it again?

GoFundMe.

You put in my last name, Berenson.

It should come up.

And I also have this Substack, which is a newsletter, which you can subscribe to for free.

You know, I want as many people to subscribe as possible.

Basically, it's called Unreported Truths, because that's what it is.

And you can find it on Substack, which is a platform that still believes in free speech.

It might be the last place left that really believes in free speech.

There's stuff from the left, there's stuff from the right, there's great stuff on Substack, and I'm proud to be a part of it.

Alex, thank you so much.

Alec Berenson, his last name is spelled B-E-R-E-N-S-O-N.

Thanks, Alex.

I appreciate it.

The best of the Glen Bank program.

I want to talk to you about a growing fascistic movement with actual teeth attached to it.

This isn't like, oh, he's a fascist.

I will show you what they're doing

that is literally fascistic in nature, literally

by the actual dictionary definition of the word fascism.

Let me start with this.

If we were building nuclear power plants and we were encouraging hydrogen use for our automobiles, I would be so deep into it.

It is the answer.

Between nuclear power, which is the cleanest and safest form of energy the world has ever seen.

Stu, can you back that up?

The safest form of energy in the history of the world.

Yes, I agree with that analysis.

Okay, thank you for those stats.

You just said it was the safest.

He's a good person.

Yes.

Yes, Glenn, confirm number one on the list.

I don't know what stat you want to vote.

Number one is because I know you're into these things.

Yeah.

No, I know you're into these things, and I know that you, you know, that you have looked through the history.

Everybody thinks it's so dangerous, but it is not.

It's not dangerous, especially in the United States.

So if we were pursuing this and opening these babies up and letting them run at full capacity at night, and when nobody's using electricity, making hydrogen for our cars,

it would be a miracle.

It would be a miracle.

It would be everything we're looking for.

Good for the planet, safe, effective, and we could move on with our lives.

We would be world leaders, again, in almost everything if we just did that

but that's not what we're doing instead we are doing solar panels and wind power let me tell you about solar panels if solar panels were

something that would work i'd be all for solar panels

I am your this broadcast is being powered now by solar wind and

natural gas

Natural gas only if we get into trouble and we don't have enough power for the broadcast.

But it has taken me 11

very long and expensive years to get the solar panel system up and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This is not something the average American or the average company can do.

I'd love to have the Blaze be the first green

network that was all solar energy and wind power, but it's impossible to do.

It's too expensive

and it's not reliable.

I can't tell you how

if you are listening to this broadcast today, you're hearing delays.

And the reason why you're hearing delays is I don't have internet.

I am here

on an isolated kind of mountaintop and I don't have all of the electricity, all of everything coming in.

I have to create everything myself.

So we're having to use all kinds of different technology.

And let me tell you,

when you come off the grid, when you start to do things differently, you almost have to reinvent everything.

Right now,

my farm, we bought our diesel fuel for our tractors.

We spent filling that tank up, that underground tank.

We spent

as much money filling it up once this spring as we spend filling it up

all summer long into the fall last year.

This cannot last.

But is Biden doing anything about it?

No.

Instead, what he is doing is fascistic.

Yesterday, he invoked the Defense Production Act.

Not for oil, not for diesel, not for anything,

but for solar panels.

Do you know how long

and how much money it will take to get solar panels, enough of them, into play to defray any of your costs for heating.

By the way, if you live in Seattle, fat chance.

Good luck to you.

You live where it's cloudy and snowy, good luck.

I have these gigantic solar panels to be able to put this broadcast in my house online.

And you still have to change all the light bulbs.

You have to change everything.

It is literally,

I'm my grandfather.

You don't need that light.

Why do you have that light on?

Grandpa, it's, I mean, it's really not costing us.

Put the light off.

I've become that guy because you just run out.

In the winter, you have to go out and you have to scrape all of the ice and the snow off of your solar panel.

This is not something America is prepared to do.

But because we have a global warming crisis,

and a power crisis that is growing, yesterday, Biden invoked something for the second time in his term that hasn't been used since the Korean War.

It is the Defense Production Act.

And here's what it does: it allows the president to have emergency powers to tell companies exactly what they can and cannot do.

That is the definition of fascism.

Now,

are we okay with that?

Is this what we want?

A guy who has destroyed everything he has touched, now running our companies and our businesses and telling us what we can and cannot produce.

That's what he did yesterday.

He also did something else.

He waived all of the solar tariffs yesterday.

This is a massive win for China.

China makes all of the most of the solar panels.

Okay?

They do most of the technology.

Why?

Because no matter what anybody tells you, solar energy is very dirty for the Earth.

You can't really make them here in in America because the EPA would lose their mind.

But in China, you can do whatever you want.

So now they have not only most of all of the minerals that are needed to make these solar panels, they can make them with slaves and they can make them in hell holes that they don't care about the environment at all.

But

we had some really bad tariffs against these solar panels.

And so now

we have to get rid of those.

So now the Chinese have us

by the you-know-what

on solar panels.

Russia has us by the same things now on energy.

Mexico.

Saudi Arabia,

and Russia have all of the control of the oil.

And are they helping us?

Of course not.

Of course not.

Meanwhile, we leave all of our resources, all of our minerals, all of our companies, all of the brains that we have, all of the brawn that we have,

all of the oil and natural gas resources in the ground.

Is America, is this who we want to become?

By the way, this is not the only emergency.

I'm telling you, I will be shocked if by the end of the year we don't hear coming out of the president's mouth a declaration

of a national global warming emergency.

That will give him all kinds of power.

They are already setting it up.

That's what they're using here

for this directive.

A climate emergency.

We're going to have a food emergency by the end of the year as well.

I don't know if you've been following this, but please do.

We're about now eight weeks away from knowing for sure what's going to happen.

Yesterday, we had

Russia bomb one of the ports where a lot of the Ukrainian wheat leaves.

NATO, the United Nations, and we have even hinted that if they block the Russian wheat, steal, sorry, the Ukrainian wheat, steal the Ukrainian wheat, destroy the Ukrainian wheat, or stop boats from picking it up and shipping it to the rest of the world, that will be an act of war.

Well, we are 12 weeks away from that.

Sorry, eight weeks now.

And the former NATO chief yesterday said, you are going to see another front open in the Ukrainian conflict.

It will include escorting grain tankers in and out of Odessa.

He said, I think that will be taken by the United Nations, by NATO, and the United States and our allies.

But it will be a new front in the war that will emerge over the next few weeks.

When that happens,

anything that goes wrong with that wheat, if Russia doesn't let it out of Ukraine, if we lose a ship of that wheat,

wheat prices will go through the roof and starvation will happen in Africa.

What happens to our military?

when all of Africa is on fire because they're starving to death.

Why is our government taking on diesel right now and saying, no, we got to get away from this petroleum stuff?

Why are they doing it when starvation is around the corner because of war?

We cannot as Americans stand by while the world starves and we have the ability to do something about it.

But for the very first time, we have seen now Germany send an airlift of baby food to Texas this week.

And you're about to see the most charitable, the most giving, the most powerful nation on the planet not have the ability to help feed starving people all around the world.

And I love the fact that the Biden administration is saying this is not going to affect the United States and,

you know, the

hunger here in the United States.

Are you out of your mind?

We're not going to be starving here in the United States, but if you think that a third of the world could be starving to death and we're going to be paying normal, even half-rational prices for food,

you're crazy.

Oh, and by the way, it won't just be Africa.

It will also be Central

America.

It'll be parts of Mexico and South America.

So don't worry about any problems on our border.

This is what's coming, and it's coming this fall.

Please, America, prepare.
