Welcome to Monday.

I'm going to be a great program for you today.

We want to remind you about American Financing, our sponsor,

who has been with us for about 20 years and they are fearless and been great.

They are also a place that I would go if you are looking for a new mortgage or a refi.

We need to really stand by the people who are standing by us.

So if you're looking for any of the services that they have, please consider them.

Call American Financing at 800-906-2440.

If you're looking for a new mortgage, a mortgage refi, lock in your interest rates because did you hear what the Fed announced?

That it looks like they're going to do four.

The next four will be

50 basis points.

The next four raises in the four next raises.

That means 2%

extra.

2%.

Now's the time to get this done.

Holy get it off your plate.

American Financing 800-906-2440.

800-906-2440.

It is AmericanFinancing.net.

All right.

Big program for you coming up next.

Stand by.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's the chorus of night.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day of time to rise.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbach program.

I think he doesn't have a soul.

He's a butcher.

He's a pure thug.

He's a murderous dictator.

He cannot be allowed to remain in power.

Well, that was kind of some that was an interesting weekend.

Oh, but it doesn't stop there.

That's Joe Biden on this strange speech that everyone now is comparing to Kennedy and Reagan.

And that would be true if Kennedy or Reagan didn't sound like they were drunk.

And they tell you another thing: democracy is going to be people are going to be free.

And that is why you cannot remain in power.

Okay,

we take apart the president's weekend, as he seems to be taking us apart in 60 seconds

so jane wrote in she said about nine years ago i broke two vertebrae oh i have four bones fused in my back i have a two-acre lawn and every time i mow it

jane where are your kids that's why you have children Every time I mow it, I'd be in pain for at least a couple of days.

I started taking Relief Factor.

I got results almost immediately.

Now I can mow with no pain.

I've been taking Relief Factor for several months now and I love it.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, Jane, for writing in.

If you're dealing with pain, please just give Relief Factor a try.

Not a drug developed by doctors.

Four key ingredients that work with your body.

It's $19.95 for the Quick Start Trial Pack.

It is something you take for three weeks.

You'll know within three weeks if it's making any difference at all.

And if it's not, stop taking it.

But 70% of the people who try the quick start relief pack,

they go on to order more month after month, just like Jane.

ReliefFactor.com, 800, the number four relief.

800, the number four relief.

ReliefFactor.com.

Okay, so let's start with this wonderful,

wonderful speech that the president gave yesterday, first of all, or a day before.

He was in Poland, and it was remarkable.

You could compare it to, and it has been, Pope John Paul and his speeches to Poland and

JFK and Ronald Reagan.

And I think it's true.

I mean,

he really went right

where everybody who is involved in this,

right where they live.

Cut five, please.

As a matter of economic security and national security for the survivability of the planet, we all need to move as quickly as possible to clean renewable energy.

And we'll work together to help get that done.

That's great.

That's great.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

He also was talking about Ukraine and NATO and what was happening with Ukraine.

And I think what's great is what he ended it with.

Now, listen how awkward.

This is.

Usually you leave on a happy note.

President Biden decided not to.

Here it is.

Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia.

For free people refused to live in a world of hopelessness and darkness.

We will have a different future, a brighter future, rooted in democracy and principles, hope and light, of decency and dignity, of freedom and possibilities.

For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power.

Okay, all right.

So that was weird.

Apparently not in the speech.

I don't know if you can trust that or not, but let me refresh your memory on the Gorbachev-Reagan speech while he was in Berlin.

Mr.

Gorbachev, tear down this wall.

That went back and forth with the State Department.

He said, I'm saying it.

No, you're not.

Yes, I am.

No, I'm not.

Wait a minute.

It's like that Bugs Bunny routine.

It was taken out of the speech three times.

It was not in the teleprompter, and he knew right

where he wanted to say it.

And he wrote it.

It was him.

Mr.

Gorbachev, tear down this wall.

Now, that was not a, Mr.

Gorbachev, somebody needs to overthrow you.

Quite different.

But the State Department was against that because it would cause all kinds of problems, they thought.

And it did.

It did.

Unfortunately, for the Soviet Union, not for the rest of the free world.

It freed the world.

Now,

Putin, I mean,

this was,

it seems like an ad lib because you wouldn't have put that at the end of the speech.

But

Mr.

Mental Agility couldn't find a place to put that into the speech.

So just at the end, he's like, the whole time, now think about this, if it was an ad-lib,

the whole time he's thinking, this guy can't be in power.

This guy can't be in power.

And he can't find a place to put it in the speech.

So he just adds it to the end.

Now,

is it possible that that's what he really thinks?

Well, let's remember, Joe Biden is known for leading his staff.

He's known for whatever the policy is they're working on.

Do you remember the homosexual marriage thing?

We know that the White House was working on a draft to announce, you know, they were for gay marriage, yada, yada.

And Joe Biden just came out on some weekend and went, I'm always for gay marriage.

That's where we need to be.

And the White House was a little pissed.

Remember that?

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

So he's done that kind of thing several times where he leads the staff.

He leads, he just blurts it out.

Oh, I mean, this conflict was

began around that whole situation where he said a minor incursion might not be that big of a deal.

Right.

This is the same type of moment.

Right.

So if he's thinking this,

and this is an ad-lib,

what does that mean?

Now, let me give you some, let me give you some additional stuff.

There's a possibility he's just completely senile.

And that's a discussion we should have because if he's that out of control, he should not be the president of the United States.

I honestly don't think that's it.

I think he has a different point of view.

And

let me make the case here.

First of all, this strengthens Putin.

Horrible, horrible idea.

Horrible idea.

But also

in his framing, he is also framing this as democracy versus autocracy.

This is a theme of

his

first year, his nightmare year.

This is one of the first things that stood out to me in his first speech from the well of the Senate when he told all of the people sitting there in

the Capitol that you were the people that made the world a better place, that they were the people that got us through this pandemic, not the American people, the people in power.

And then he twice, maybe three times, questioned democracy versus autocracy.

So he's going for a bigger thing.

He's not going for the

Putin getting out of Ukraine.

He's going for something much, much bigger.

Case in point, did you see the weird tweet that came out from his office?

He's not on Twitter.

I don't even think he knows how to work the phone.

He's like, the phone doesn't have that little grinder there on the side.

Well, MacGethel, give me, give me 81,000.

What?

So I don't think he knows how to work

any kind of phone sitting on the pot, you know, tweeting.

Listen to this.

We are engaged in a new great battle for freedom.

A battle between democracy and autocracy, between liberty and repression.

This battle will not be won in days or months either.

We need to steal ourselves for the long fight ahead.

Wow.

Wow.

What does he see coming?

Now,

Blinken came out this weekend and said, that's not what he means.

I suggest it is.

Because what was the other problem?

What was the other thing that he said this weekend?

While he was over there, he made several things

that they had to walk back, but they were all in exactly the same direction.

Let's play

cut 13

now.

But the Ukrainian people, Ukrainian people have a lot of backbone, they have a lot of guts, and I'm sure you're observing it.

And I don't mean just the military, which is we've been trained in since back when Russia moved into

southeast

Ukraine.

But also the average citizen, look at how they're stepping up.

Look at how they're stepping up.

And you're going to see when you're there, and some of you have been there, you're going to see, you're going to see women, young people

standing in the middle of front of a damn tank,

just saying, I'm not leaving.

I'm holding my ground.

They're incredible.

They take a lot of inspiration from us.

And you know, woman who just died, the Secretary of State used to have an expression.

She said, We are the essential nation.

It sounds like a bit of a hyperbole, but the truth of the matter is, you are the organizing principle around which the rest of the world is, the free world, is moving.

Okay, stop.

There's a couple of three things here.

First of all, let me take down the obvious, kind of essential one going to his mind state.

That woman that just died, that would be Madeline Albright, But he couldn't recall her name, that woman who just died.

Okay,

so that makes a case he doesn't know what the hell he's even talking about, which is a conversation we should have.

But

let's look at this as maybe he does know what he's talking about.

He just has no filter on it.

When he suggested that the troops that were stationed in Poland, that they would witness the bravery of the American people when you're there.

He immediately followed it with, and a lot of you have already been there.

But that doesn't make sense.

Now, I dismiss this as an old man gaffe when I first heard this, but this was one of the first big gaffes they had to walk back.

So I dismiss this as just, ah, well, it's just an old man gaffe.

Well, doesn't that fit with he has to be removed?

And doesn't the

world

looks to you the soldier you are the organizing principle that the world is being built around

those fit

so I'd like to give the president the benefit of the doubt but if I'm on the opposing side if I'm advising Putin Because this is what they have to do.

What is this president even saying?

Is he incompetent or is he revealing

what their real intention is?

I would say, if I were advising Russia,

I don't know, Mr.

President, but I think that there is a pattern here.

Just look at what his Twitter feed said.

Again, it doesn't mean that he's not senile, but my case to you is

he's revealing the things that are coming.

And how do we know?

Well, those were all crazy off-the-cuff clips, but they're all consistent for a bigger, longer war.

All right, maybe he's just thinking that himself, but nobody else is.

Then why would the White House tweet, we are engaged in a new great battle for freedom, a battle between democracy and autocracy, between liberty and repression.

This battle will not be won in days or months either.

We need to steal ourselves for the long fight ahead.

That's coming approved from the White House yesterday.

America, we better decide a couple of things.

First of all, is our president competent?

If he's making these kinds of mistakes,

and they truly are mistakes because he just is not a gaff machine, this is a very dangerous situation.

If he's not competent, he should not be the president of the United States.

And I know what that means.

That means a world run by Kamala Harris.

God help us all.

But at least she would not make any sense and wouldn't be doing this stuff.

Or are we being prepped for a war?

It seems to me

when Putin is talking about

his first phase is done

and everybody's looking for negotiations and Putin seems to be looking for a way out of this, this is exactly the wrong kind of language to use.

Where is the White House saying it looks like Putin may be done with the first phase, as they said, and it looks good.

Maybe we have

maybe we have a bright future with a very quick war that has come to an end.

Where's that encouragement?

Instead, we need to steal ourselves for the long fight ahead.

I think this administration wants war.

I think they want a fight.

They just don't want to release it yet.

But that's what they're talking about in the White House, and he's just blowing the cover.

That's my theory.

But it's either that

or the guy is totally incompetent and saying things that are very dangerous that are not connected to any reality in the White House, and that

should stop.

10 seconds station ID.

Steve Bergeer is with us, otherwise known as Stu, executive producer of the radio program.

You see it a different way, Stu?

Perhaps.

I think there's a, I have a slot right in between kind of what you've been talking about.

And that, like, I don't think it's

a straight out senior moment, right?

Where he's just blurting out

odd takes on the war.

Right, right.

I mean, obviously, the American, we all want Vladimir Putin gone for a hundred different reasons.

You don't say that when you're the president of the United States in a major speech in a foreign country that is on the border of the country that's at war currently, that we're supposedly trying to avoid war.

So I think there's a,

what I, he,

it's similar to what you said about the, uh, the, the gay marriage thing, right?

They, of course, want this to happen in theory, right?

Like we want Vladimir Putin to be out, stop causing trouble.

Him blurting it out like that is

a,

I think, an artifact of his senior moment status.

Like this is a major problem when you cannot trust your president to be able to hold together the most basic information and understand what should be said and what shouldn't.

So, are you saying that

nobody in the White House wants that other than theoretically?

You know, we all want that.

We all want that, right?

But you don't say it as president and you risk war.

So, how does you do strengthen Putin at home?

I mean, if this is going to happen, Glenn, how is it going to happen?

Putin loses or has massive, massive problems at home, and there are people inside Russia that do rise up.

Well, that's less likely to happen today than it was yesterday because of what

Biden said.

So does he, when he says to the troops, you'll see when you're there, I was willing to write that off as a senior moment, but now I'm not so sure because that fits with what he said in his speech.

Is that just another unrelated what?

Why would he say that?

Well, you could argue, and I think

they're

just trying to argue.

They have no argument on the Putin comment.

Their comment is like, well, what he meant was empowered or whatever.

Yeah, yeah.

It's so stupid.

But with this one, you could say they're going to be in the region, right?

I mean, like, a lot of the troops are going to that region.

They're staying in Poland, supposedly.

That's where they're supposed to stay.

Being in that region is one thing.

They should not be crossing that border.

We've been very clear about that until the president screwed it up.

And he's done that multiple times.

So I'm worried this guy's going to

gaffe us into World War III.

That is the risk here.

Now, if what you're saying is happening, it's a whole nother story.

And I know it's just a theory at this point, but there's a lot of evidence to it.

The Glenn Bach program.

So when you thought that the pandemic had disappeared from the news cycle, here's something new and fun reported by Reuters.

On April 2nd, T-Mobile is planning on firing anyone who is not fully vaccinated.

Wow.

Somewhere, Anthony Fauci is staring deeply into a portrait of Anthony Fauci and approving.

I think this is absolutely incredible and why I'm really, really happy I'm not with T-Mobile.

I've partnered with Patriot Mobile.

I have it.

It's America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.

In fact, they're the only provider that I think still believes in the Constitution.

You know what I'm saying?

They also offer the same nationwide coverage as the major carriers, so you get the same great service, plus the peace of mind that your money is supporting free speech, life, and liberty.

They have plans to fit anybody's budget.

Stu and I are just talking, I'm waiting for Pat to join us in just a minute.

Yeah, just started a new Overtime, Pat Gray Unleashed Overtime, available as a Blaze as your Blaze TV subscription, a little perk there.

But

we're talking about what happened with Joe Biden.

Was this just a senior moment, or is this actually

something that the White House is going for and he's just playing his hand horribly?

And I, you know, I have to tell you,

this is being shopped now

as a long-term war, just

the battle against autocracy, democracy.

The world has to decide, and we're dividing it up.

The autocracies would be Russia and China.

So if this is a war against,

even if it's an economic war, against Russia and China, what does that mean?

They could say, well, we don't mean war, war.

Okay.

Well,

what exactly do you mean that we have to steal ourselves for this long, drawn-out battle against the autocracies of the world?

And for Joe Biden to be framing it that way, the White House, the State Department to be framing it that way, and then to come out and say things like he's got to go,

I don't know.

I don't know.

These are the conversations we should be having.

It's terrifying that we have to have them.

That's kind of the problem.

Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed just joined us.

Pat,

your thoughts on what the president is that just a senior moment?

Oh, no.

You think this is...

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

Explain.

I think he slips up from time to time.

And

try as his handlers might to get him going down the right path, he just strays from it a lot.

Although, when he was

when you watch the video of him saying that he didn't look confused, he didn't look confused, and he didn't look like that was ad-libbed.

He looked like he was reading the teleprompter.

I thought it was on the teleprompter.

I thought so, too.

Trying to get a copy of the speech.

I don't know if you trust the copies of the speech now.

See if it's not that.

Because they're trying to walk it back now, so they're not going to include that.

Right.

The media does seem to indicate that it was

ad lib ad-lib, which is a little bit more.

Which doesn't make sense.

That doesn't mean it's true.

It doesn't make sense, though, that you would put that there.

You know, it wasn't like, and we're all going to be free.

Mr.

Gorbachev, tear down this wall.

God bless America.

I mean, it just didn't happen that way.

That would have been crafted into the speech, not just put right at the very end.

Yeah.

And saying it there

does nothing to help us and only helps them.

Oh, yeah.

Now, it's possible.

I mean, do you give any credence to the idea that he just got caught up in the crowd?

The crowd's cheering him on.

They love it.

Obviously, when you're a country that's bordering Ukraine and you want the help of the United States, you're kind of excited about this.

And he was, was he just playing to the room?

I think, I really think that this was something that he wanted to say.

They didn't have it in the script anywhere.

He didn't know how to put it in, but he needed to say it.

I think this is the thing that he was thinking about the whole time.

Going up to the speech, during the speech, he's like, I'm going to say it.

I'm going to say it.

It's kind of the Reagan thing, too.

It is.

It is.

That's how Mr.

Gorbachev's Tear Down This Wall came out.

Exactly right.

Because his advisors didn't want him to say it.

Correct.

And he said it anyway.

And it worked out there.

I don't think this one would work as well.

Well, that's the thing.

Well, it might get him killed,

which would be kind of dicey for the rest of the world.

I mean, when you go back and you look at Reagan, who did this intentionally, people also criticized Trump for a lot of the things he said that were, that were, uh, that could provoke, uh, that there was always risk to that, but they were intentional.

Whether you agreed with the strategy or not of Donald Trump changing the

embassy in Israel, right?

He did it intentionally.

He meant to do it, right?

It wasn't something he blurted out.

It was something that he intended.

He did all the things that he said he was going to do.

Yeah.

I mean, people elected him to do that.

He said he would do that.

He did that.

State Department didn't like it.

Everybody recommended against it.

He believed it was the right thing.

He believed it.

That's the question here.

Is this just a senior moment, or is this the direction?

that the president is headed?

What does he mean by it's a fight between democracy and autocracy?

And it steals yourself for a long battle ahead.

What does that mean?

It's funny because I brought this up to somebody this weekend and I said, hey, did you hear what Biden said?

And I said, you know, he said,

we need to get Putin out of power.

And I think the normal person reaction to that is, oh, well, good.

Yes, of course we want Putin out of power.

Yes, we do.

I want Putin out of power and I'm fine saying it.

If you're the president of the United States in that speech, you absolutely cannot do that.

It's a terrible idea.

I mean, it's...

What does that mean?

Does that mean we go in to assassinate?

Does that mean that

we are in to the point where we won't accept him just walking away from Ukraine and going, okay, sorry, guys.

Even Zelensky is basically at this point saying that.

I know, but I mean, is that is...

Is that what we're saying now?

Is our resting point that he's out of power?

That's what I mean.

They seem to have stated an official policy of regime change in Russia, which is not our official policy, but he's blurting it out.

That's a terrible, terrible thing.

I mean, like, you know, Lindsey Graham got in trouble for this a few, a couple of weeks ago when he said, you know, I hope somebody takes out Putin in Russia.

And like, look, every, you know, tons of talk show hosts have said that.

Yeah, but you can't say it.

But you can't say that when you're a senator, and you certainly can't say it if you're a president.

Yeah, no way.

Plus, Biden did the thing with the 82nd Airborne.

in Poland,

which I dismissed as a senior moment when I first heard it.

But after the speech and then the White House tweet, I think think they're connected.

I think he's just vocalizing what's coming.

He's vocalizing what their talks are, or at least what's in his head on where this is heading.

And he told the 82nd Airborne they'll see when they're there, that women are standing in front of tanks.

Well, when are they going to be there?

Right.

Are they going on vacation to Ukraine?

They do have time for a popular weekend spot to go over there and get drunk in the middle of the war.

This is the time to get to Mariupol right now.

I mean, because

you can get

hotel rooms very cheap right now.

Just as the Russian rockets start to fall into the apartment building.

So you want to know the backlash now on

our sanctions, the great reset style sanctions.

Speaking in a meeting with cultural, leading cultural figures broadcast on national television, Vladimir Putin complained of the cancellation of a number of Russian cultural events in recent weeks and compared it to the actions taken by Nazi Germany.

Not so long ago, the children's writer J.K.

Rowling was also canceled because she didn't please the fans of so-called gendered freedom.

Today, they're trying to cancel a whole thousand-year culture, our people.

And I'm talking about the gradual discrimination against everything linked to Russia.

So he's going to, this is giving him more power.

And it's giving, can you imagine if

Russia and China were leading a boycott of us and and our leader stood up and said they're trying to erase America, do you think we would be more willing to fight with that leader or less likely to fight with that leader?

We would be absolutely more likely.

And he's got a good point because they're doing stupid things like in Cardiff where they canceled Tchaikovsky.

What did Tchaikovsky have to do with this?

Why?

He died in, what,

the early 1900s?

Go for it.

He didn't have much to do with this.

Then they've canceled Russian ballerinas, and they've said that you can only be part of events if you denounce Putin before you perform in the event.

Well, are we doing mind control now, too?

You have to think certain things before you can participate in events in the West.

It's a little much.

Well, let me give you some hope.

Let me give you some hope.

I just want to just play a collage here of what we could

hope for.

Cut one, please.

It is time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day.

We must together, work together

to see where we are,

where we are headed, where we are going, and our vision for where we should be.

Because we have the ability to see what can be,

unburdened by what has been,

and then to make the possible actually happen.

To see what is possible,

to see what can be,

unburdened by what has been,

to reject the notion that the way things have always been

has to be, the way things will continue to be.

I have a motto.

I drink, I eat.

and drink no for breakfast.

I eat no for breakfast.

I eat no for breakfast.

There is no vaccine

for racist climate crisis.

Wait, there is no vaccine.

It's a central threat to who we are as a species.

Talking about the significance of the passage of time.

Got it.

Right?

The significance of the passage of time.

So when you think about it, there is great significance in the passage of time.

Because the reality

is that the life of a black person in America has never been treated as fully human.

We have supposed leaders who are pushing science fiction instead of science fact.

This virus,

it has no eyes.

That is true.

And yet it knows

exactly how we see each other.

Violence has no eyes.

Oh, by reviving it.

You guys are going to see.

Looks his second letter in the word.

With your own eyes.

Oh, my goodness.

With your own eyes, I'm telling you.

It is going to be

unbelievable.

A friend indeed.

Powerful.

A friend indeed.

Gosh, she is.

And we have that to look forward to.

So

if you're thinking,

hey, maybe the 25th Amendment, maybe we should always look into it.

Just remember, that's what you got going for.

So, I probably say I did not watch the Oscars last night.

Didn't even know that it was on until this morning when I was reading the show prep.

Did you see what happened with Chris Rock and

Will Smith?

Yes, I did not watch it either and also did did not know it was on.

Yes, good for you.

Good for you.

That's amazing.

That's most of America.

It used to be a very big deal.

Now it's like, I don't know if anybody's going to watch it.

And so the

do we have the clip?

Can we play the clip real quick?

It's from the Oscars.

I don't think they allow the clips from the Oscars to be played.

Seriously?

Yeah, that's always a huge issue.

Wow.

Okay.

You want to get yourself banned from every digital platform in seconds?

That's a way to do it.

Well, that's just another happy way for for them to just spread the word.

Anyway, so Chris Rock was

doing his routine, and he pointed out,

what's his wife's name?

Jane, Pinkett Smith.

Yeah, Pinkett Smith.

And she has.

He made a G.I.

Jane 2 joke.

Because she has...

She's bald, basically.

Yeah, she's bald.

But it's alopecia that is causing.

Now, did Chris Rock know that?

Do we have any evidence that he knew this?

No,

he's just making a joke of a, you know, he thought it it was, I guess, her hairstyle.

And

she has some,

it's interesting.

You know, it is a different.

I don't know much about alopecia, I suppose.

Yeah, you lose all of your hair.

But a lot of, you know, it is an interesting thing that if it's bald guys, you could joke about all day.

Oh, yeah.

You could joke about bald guys all day long.

Yeah.

You can't make a joke about a bald woman.

All right, so here's the problem.

That

Will Smith first laughed at it and then looked over at his wife wife and she was not laughing.

So he gets up, he walks on stage and open hand slaps Chris Rock across the face and it was serious.

And it was no, there was no warning.

Like it wasn't, it was a sucker slap.

He came up without any indication he was going to hit him and then at the last second just hit him.

And Chris Rock is just laughing.

He thinks it's a bit until he gets hit and then he realizes

it's not a bit.

Wow, it's not a bit.

Weird, man.

a weird moment i mean it's weird because you part of me says oh well you know will smith being a stand-up guy and protecting the honor of his wife was chivalrous but he was laughing at the joke that was a that was a

oh crap i'm dead when i get home i don't know about that i think honestly he's laughing in sort of the the rhythms of comedy right like there's he knows he he blows it off until he sees his wife isn't blowing it off yeah but i mean like you know that happens sometimes if you're at a comedy show like you don't might not necessarily.

I mean, look, it's a funny joke.

But the idea is probably she's struggled with this in some serious way.

And when he hits him, that that's the direction he's going in.

Yeah.

But again, like, how is Chris?

Chris Rock doesn't study your medical records.

And by the way, I mean,

you know, they live in a very open marriage.

So.

I've heard that rumor, too.

I don't know.

No, it's true.

It is true.

It's true, yeah.

So if it was, let me ask you this.

If it wasn't Chris Rock and it was the rock up there saying that joke, you think Will Smith's going up there to slap him?

No.

You think?

Oh, the 130-pound comedian, tough guys, going up there to defend his wife's honor against.

I think we need to relax a little bit.

You know, you just don't go up and slap comedians.

Yeah, come on.

All right.

Back in a minute.

Reporting to you, of course, live from the frigid Glenbeck Studios, where it's currently almost 12.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

So, the president announced a new tax.

Yay, it's on billionaires and millionaires.

Who cares about them?

Let them all eat cake.

20% minimum tax on households worth more than $100 million.

Okay,

doesn't affect you, right?

Doesn't affect me.

Who Who cares?

Well,

let's remember how the tax thing began under Woodrow Wilson.

It was only for people making over,

what was it, a million dollars a year.

And it got down to people making, you know, eight grand a year pretty quickly in one term.

But it's not the minimum tax that bothers me.

It is this new little theory that has been circulating again with the far, far left for a long time which shows you how captured this administration is

it's attacks on unrealized income

oh

what's unrealized income

that sounds interesting we go there with Carol Roth in 60

Carol Roth, I got a lot to talk to you today, but I want to start

with this 20% minimum

income tax on people that make over $100 million a year.

Hi, Carol.

Hi, Glenn.

You know, it's not even an income tax.

It's a quote-unquote wealth tax, which is an idea that is so bad that nine countries in Europe abandoned it.

I mean, imagine an economic policy being so bad that Europe's like, yeah, you know what?

We're out.

So didn't France try this recently?

And it, like, all of their wealthy people moved away?

Yeah, the statistics were that between 2000 and 2012, 42,000 millionaires and up

had a mass exodus from France.

So it basically

drove all the people up because, you know, if you have those means, capital is mobile and you're not going to stick around when you have other options.

And that was the catalyst for them being another one of the countries that go, you know what, maybe this isn't such a great idea.

And even though there is a long tail on it, they're still collecting a little bit of revenue because it was grandfathered in.

I think around 2014, they said, we're gone.

Now, talk to me me about, so nobody has tried to move that number down.

I'm concerned always when they say it's only going to hit these people.

Taxes never do that in America.

No, I mean, anything that is targeted at the billionaires is really a ruse for them to get you to agree to it because, oh, why would I care for it to affect the billionaires?

But really, it's going to impact you.

And that is the ruse.

If you think about this being tied to individual income, usually if you are an upper-tier individual, you have very sophisticated tax work.

You probably have trusts.

You may have shell corporations.

So I would imagine there's probably going to be some loopholes and go, well, it's not really an individual income.

It's a family trust or

some way around it.

But now you've agreed to it.

And they're going to go, well,

we put it in on this, but we're going to move it down.

We're going to move it down.

And you have to remember the Biden administration wants to hire 87,000 new IRS agents.

I mean, that's not for going after the billionaires.

That's for coming after you.

So they not only want to do that, they got the funding to do that in this last bill.

So the really dangerous thing

that is in this wealth tax is a tax on unrealized gains.

This is insanity.

Absolute insanity.

Can you explain it?

Yeah.

So unrealized gains, I always say it's not really a thing.

We shouldn't normalize it.

It's really a ruse to have unlawful seizure of personal property.

So let's say you buy a house and you bought it for $100,000.

And then in your neighborhood, another house sells for $200,000.

They're going to say, well, you know,

all the houses in this neighborhood are, you know, they're worth about the same.

So you have an unrealized gain of $100,000.

We're going to tax you on that.

So what do you do?

You have to sell your house to pay the taxes.

So take that analogy then and move it to the stock market.

Most of these individuals who are wealthy are so on paper is because they own big pieces of companies, which the market has valued at higher and higher levels.

And so on paper, their ownership looks big.

But if all of a sudden they have to now sell stakes in their companies, that upends the entire market system.

It basically nationalizes or socializes companies.

It affects all of us through pensions and 401k because of supply and demand in the market.

If you have these big people who are selling massive shares of their company, it's going to drive the prices down for everybody.

It's an utter, total disaster.

It's unconstitutional.

And it's one of those things we have to push back on because, like you said, if you just say, well, it's just for the Elon Musks and Jeff Bezos of the world, you're accepting a breach in principle, and then the game is over.

And it won't be.

I mean, this is the way, you know,

the great reset says by 2030.

Now, think of this.

You have to get people out of ownership

in

eight years.

Eight years, two elections.

You have to get people to own nothing.

This is a way to do it.

If you have unrealized

taxes on unrealized income, meaning your house.

Think about how much your house is worth today if you wanted to sell it,

knowing that tomorrow it could go down and you lose money if you didn't sell it.

You just don't know where the top and the bottom is of a market.

But if you have to sell your house to be able to pay the taxes for income that you didn't have.

It was all on paper.

You don't own houses.

You put a lot of people out of their house.

Yeah, and it's all based on theory.

Unfortunately, we already have something that's kind of close to that in property taxes.

This would just double and triple up on it.

But, you know, it's anything you own.

I mean, maybe your grandparent gave you an heirloom, a painting that's now worth a bunch of money.

Like, what are you supposed to do?

Oh, it's worth a million dollars.

Now I have to sell this family heirloom so I can pay taxes for what?

I mean, this is the most un-American concept that you could possibly think.

This is what caused Robinhood.

I mean, this is the kind of thing that was going on in the adventures of Robin Hood.

That's what the sheriff was doing.

They were doing unreasonable taxes and then giving it to the state, giving it to the king and all of the people that were in with the king.

I mean, we are starting to live in Nottingham.

Yeah, and the crazy thing that when anyone talks about it, an unrealized gain or this theoretical gain in value, they never talk about the unrealized losses.

Well, what about, you know, if something's gone down, are you going to give it back to me?

Of course not.

It never works like that.

Nobody ever wants to socialize the losses.

They only want to participate in the gains.

It's a one-way street.

And again, they use, this is what happened, by the way, in Venezuela.

They use this, you know, kind of populist language and say, oh, you know, these elites, they own everything.

Let us take it over.

Let us take over business and you're all going to share in it.

And obviously, they went from the fifth biggest economy in the world decades ago to the state that we all know that they're in today.

This is the way in, and it is so dangerous.

I cannot even

make it emphatic enough.

It is, it's truly amazing that the president is suggesting this and putting this in.

And this is something that the Democrats would have been against, you know, 10 years ago.

It shows how far left this president and this administration really has gone and the Democrats have gone.

Absolutely.

And even

somebody like Janet Yellen, who's been an absolute disaster at the Fed and now at the Treasury, when this idea first circled around, she was going out and saying how great it was and trying to populate it.

And it got a lot of pushback and it kind of died for a little while.

And now, you know, polls are down.

So here it is again.

Maybe we can distract everybody from all the other economic disasters and inflation and high gas prices by saying that we're going to go after the greedy billionaires.

And

hopefully, again, we will get that same kind of pushback and say this is unreasonable, it's unconstitutional, and it just cannot happen.

All right.

So let me switch topics.

You wrote a great article.

I think this came out last week.

ESG advocates are killing the American dream.

Can you just go in the middle of it, you talk about a 60-minute piece where they're talking about or talking to the CEO of Tricon Residential.

And this is happening everywhere.

And nobody's really paying attention to it.

And it is so dangerous.

This is so infuriating because these global elites who are pushing ESG are saying, well, we're doing this for the good of society.

And that S, that social piece, you know, we want to make things good for everybody.

So these same banks and financial institutions who have bought into this idea that they're going to make decisions that are good for society are now funding companies that are competing with you to buy houses.

We are underfunded, or excuse me, we are underbuilt in this country by about four to five million houses, depending on who you ask.

And so there's already a supply-demand imbalance.

But now you've got these big financial institutions that are backing these folks, you know, like the ones that are quoted in the 60-minute piece piece and interviewed there, as well as others that are publicly traded that are going in and buying 30,000, 40,000, 80,000, I saw one of them, residential homes.

And they're going in with all cash offers.

They're often waiving inspections.

Sometimes they're not even looking at the houses.

And so from a buyer's perspective, you know, here's, here's, we know what's going to close.

It's all cash.

We don't have to go through any brain damage.

And they're just selling their houses to these corporations who are then renting it back to people who now can no longer afford a house have been priced out of the house and this goes back to that whole great reset playbook of you will own nothing and who will be happy except we know you won't be happy because owning a home is part of that wealth creation and part of that american dream so carol when do people do you think what is the tripwire that wakes people up the average person because The average person still, I think, is saying this kind of stuff won't happen.

It's Germany in the 1930s.

Okay, yes, but it's not going to get any worse than this.

And if you keep moving the line to it can't get worse than this,

look how far we have come in 10 years.

Where is the pain point

for the American people?

That's an excellent question.

I know you spend a lot of time on social media, Glenn.

Have you ever seen the distracted boyfriend meme where you have the guy who's looking at a girl and his girlfriend's kind kind of like looking at like what's going on and it's you know very much everybody's looking at stuff that isn't important and the stuff that's really important is that looking at you going why aren't you paying attention to me and there's just so much nonsense out there that people are highly focused on that i think you do such an incredible service um to the average american by bringing up these issues that nobody's talking about you know i usually when the the tripwire happens is after it's too late you know after it's affected so many people that you hit that tipping point that you're at the point of no return.

And they go, oh, gosh, I guess we should have paid or paid attention to this earlier.

And, you know, that is the unfortunate thing.

And it's why it's so important to have these conversations and for individuals to help spread the word.

I mean, this, this has to be a movement.

You have to be out talking to your friends and to your family and to your neighbors about these things because it's really getting out of control.

Well, I can't thank you enough for your stories that you're now writing on the Blaze.

The latest is ESG advocates are killing the American Dream.

You can find it on theblaze.com.

You got a letter in that I want to read and get your comments on in 60 seconds.

American Financing NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

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

the next four

increases on interest rates will be 50 basis points each, a rise of 2%?

I certainly saw that they were entertaining it as a possibility.

I don't think that it was 100% set in stone, but they are more open to that, which basically says, uh-oh, we are really behind the curve and we need to play catch-up.

And as we've talked about, has implications.

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

So basically, it is tied into pushes up the 10-year yield.

The 10-year yield already trading up, it was at like 2.5%

for at least a day last week.

And that affects when the government issues bonds, how much it has to give in terms of interest.

So when they do that, when they do that financing, and so so this isn't on

the current financing, which is already done, but on future financing, every 1%

is $300 billion in additional taxes.

So it's not something that's going to happen immediately.

But again, if you go back to that CBO projection that this was going to happen by 2032, it was going to be another $300 billion.

They were expecting the 10-year yield to be at 2.1% by 2025, and we're already at 2.5%.

Unbelievable.

It would mean another $600 billion that our government would have to pay just in interest.

Crippling, crippling.

All right, American financing.

Same thing with you.

As the interest rate goes up, you have a loan.

And if you have a fixed mortgage,

you don't have to worry about it.

If you don't, if you have an arm, then they can move that up and down with the interest rates.

Also, the same thing with your credit cards.

How much are you paying for those credit cards right now?

And if they move this up two points, that's two two points for the bank.

That's not two points for the credit card.

So you got

an email in, if I can read it here,

from an employee.

He says, this is not my employer's opinion.

This is mine.

My current company, WTW, has probably about 40% of the market in private pension consulting, with two or three others making up another 50%.

WTW and other consulting firms cover essentially every employer of any size.

We are all full go pushing ESG.

The new CEO at WTW has made ESG his number one priority, wanting to incorporate it into, quote, everything we do, end quote.

WTW is some sort of WEF partner.

I have raised many, many controversial subjects around ESG at local and regional office levels with some people privately expressing concerns.

The company is located mostly deep, deep blue areas, so it's not surprising most just seem to glaze over the controversies.

I've also reached out to the Attorney General's office after seeing him on Glenn's program discussing this as antitrust.

From a pension 401k perspective, Biden issued an executive order on ESG, which has prompted the Department of Labor to issue supposed or proposed regulations.

regulations on clearing the way for retirement plan fiduciaries using ESG strategies in their pension retirement assets.

For 45 years, the law governing private retirement benefits has held plan

assets be invested for the sole benefit of the participants, which one would expect.

So is he saying now that

these funds can invest in things knowing that it's not the best return?

Yeah, it's very interesting.

And the financial area has been the one where having a fiduciary duty has been the most important.

So, whether you are a public company director or if you're somebody who is managing pension funds, you have what is called a fiduciary responsibility to do things that are in the best interest of the shareholder.

What your listener has told us here is that there are these pension consulting firms that are whispering and saying, you know, we should be pushing ESG.

And, you know, not by law, just by executive order, Biden has opened the door to say, yeah, it's okay for you to get around this fiduciary duty and to push ESG, which is not in your best interest.

And he actually came up with some things that you should be doing that I think are really, really important.

Okay, hang on.

I've got 30 seconds.

I don't want to cut you off on this.

This is really important.

If you have a pension fund,

this is ESG

going into your pension fund.

It may not be the right thing for you financially.

But now the government has opened the way to say, don't worry about those investors.

Don't worry about it.

You do the right thing for the environment and social justice.

We got you covered.

The Glenn Back Program.

When you're living with aches and pains, especially if you're in frequent pain all the time, it is easy to let that define your life and it becomes who you are, your pain.

If you've tried everything that you can think of to combat that pain, you've gone to doctors and everything else and you still don't get any relief, trust me, I have been there.

And I've also experienced something I never thought, I really had thought this is the rest of my life.

And I hated that because it completely limited me because of the pain that I was in.

Then I started the three-week quick start

from Relief Factor.

I only did it.

They'd been an advertiser for years and asked me to endorse, and I said no, because I really didn't think it would work.

And then my wife said to me in one of my bad pain months, you know what?

Try it.

Try it.

I'm not going to listen to your belly ache unless you try it.

And three weeks later, I couldn't believe it, but I had to admit it worked for me and it's still working every day.

Talking about several things, the

20%

wealth tax and the unrealized tax, which I have a quick question for you, Carol, and then we'll go go back to ESG.

But

I remember reading a story maybe

15 years ago, and it was a member of the progressive black caucus that had introduced a bill.

I read about it in the Wall Street Journal.

It was a little teeny story

about how you could no longer take your wealth out of the United States without like a significant penalty.

And I thought, boy, what do they know that I don't know on what's coming?

You know what I mean?

Why are they protecting the treasury?

We've never been protective of wealth.

Take it.

Go.

Be other people make it.

Can you take your wealth?

If you were one of these billionaires, can you just leave the country?

I certainly believe so.

I'm not a tax expert.

I would imagine there are certain things that you have to do depending on where you are domiciled.

But if you move where you live and whether you give up citizenship or not, you're not living in the U.S.

and you're not earning your money in the U.S.

I would imagine that there's a way to do that.

And that's why we say that capital is mobile.

And that's what happened, by the way, in Europe.

That's why we saw all of these celebrities and multi-millionaires who decided that they were just going to go.

And by the way, if you're out of the country, even if the U.S.

says like you quote unquote can't do that, I mean, if you're gone, you're gone, right?

Yeah.

Okay, so let's go back to this

money manager who works for a big company.

You're familiar with WTW?

Yeah, so basically, and we've kept the gentleman's name confidential on purpose because he's doing a great job trying to work on this from the inside.

Yes, we'll blow the whistle on this.

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

like basically private pension funds.

So if your company has a 401k, they're going to have a consultant.

And this company he works for, by the way, owns like 40% of the market.

They're one of like the two big ones.

So everybody's heard of them before.

And this is a really incredible point that

through this executive order from Biden, they're trying to get around the fiduciary duty that plans have to the people who are invested, which is insane.

They should be doing things for your benefit, not from some central planner's benefit.

Okay, so here's the difference.

This is the difference between stakeholder capitalism and shareholder capitalism.

They sound alike, but they're completely different.

Shareholder means I take my money, I buy shares, and I expect a return, or I could get a loss, but I pay for it, and

it's my risk and my benefit.

By eliminating

shareholders, as your capitalist term, and replacing it with stakeholders, you're only one of many at the table, and the others do not have necessarily profit as their first desire.

So you're just one quiet mouse at the table with very, very little power.

Do I have that right?

So I would argue that the phrase stakeholder is complete and utter BS.

It's double.

Yes.

Yes, it is.

Because the reality is that as a shareholder, you are a stakeholder.

Other stakeholders are your customers.

Other stakeholders are your employees.

And all of those things in a market system align very well.

If you are a company that doesn't treat its employees well, if you're

a company that doesn't treat its customers well, that ends up getting reflected in your revenue, which by the way, drops down to the profits.

And then the real stakeholders, the shareholders, get mad and say, you're not treating these other people correctly.

I'm not getting a return and something needs to change.

So all of those are very much aligned.

What they're trying to call stakeholders aren't stakeholders.

They're people who think that they're morally superior.

They're outside of the scope of the company.

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

They have no stake in this whatsoever.

They're not putting up money.

They're not part of this.

They just want their plan.

So they've come up with this really cute and clever name that we're stakeholders.

By the way, no, you're not.

I love that.

So this is where like Larry Fink from BlackRock, really horrible, horrible guy.

And he is.

He's not investing necessarily his money.

He's controlling all of the money from the people who have invested and they're expecting a profit.

So this guy says there are things that you have to do if you have money in a 401k.

And what are they, Carol?

Well, before that, let's just talk about the huge moral hazard here.

You've got a couple of different huge entities, BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street, which are the top shareholder of pretty much every public company because of their size and scale.

They've got $10 trillion in asset under management just in BlackRock.

So for them to be able to vote on behalf of everybody's money in the way that they think is fit, I mean, they're supposed to be fiduciaries and somebody should be raising a flag here and maybe testing them legally.

Are you really doing things that are in the best interest of the shareholders or are you pushing your agenda?

Which goes back to the part that you asked from this gentleman in terms of your pension funds.

He said that you can talk to an ERISA attorney to see if maybe there is a case for a breach of fiduciary duty.

How do you wait, wait, how do you find?

I've never even heard of an ERISA attorney.

How do you find an ERISA attorney?

My favorite way to do anything is by internet search or asking around to people.

That's just

ISA.

Yeah.

So basically ERISA is the broad set of laws that oversee pension fund management.

So if you have a pension or a 401k and they're pushing ESG, you should be talking to an attorney.

You can also talk to your state legislate, state legislators about that.

So laws that say, you know, what you're breaching fiduciary duties and maybe even suggesting something, you know, around a law requiring employers who use retirement funds to not only disclose it,

but to look into whether that's even legal.

And then use your voice.

Contact your employer and your benefits administrator and tell them that you are concerned that this push for ESG isn't in your best interest.

And if you can get a bunch of people to do that and to make noise, this is where you can really make a difference and help to stop this nonsense.

And this is really important, again, because,

you know,

these companies that are being tagged are not necessarily the most successful companies.

They're not necessarily the ones that you would bet on.

In fact,

quite the opposite, because these are new upcoming companies and everybody is investing in them for ESG standards.

However, that doesn't mean they're turning the big profit yet.

That's a future bet.

Well, if I'm a retiree, I want my money to go in where I'm going to get the best return.

That's not necessarily what an ESG plan is doing.

Well, it can't, right?

By definition, over time, that if your company is pursuing standards other than doing what's in the best interest of the company and its actual shareholders and stakeholders, just by straight up logic, if they do that, you're not not going to get the best returns.

And by the way, it is going to shape what happens in the economy overall.

We're seeing it right now.

Part of the reason why your gas prices are so high, part of the reason why we're having these issues is because ESG is funneling capital to the projects they want and keeping capital from things like oil and gas.

This is by dictate, by mandate.

And so it's not letting the consumers and the choices of millions of people shape the decisions.

It's a handful of people who are saying, this is how we want the economy to look.

And we know that is not capitalism.

It is phenomenal that more people aren't paying attention to it.

Carol, thank you so much.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

And by the way, read your book, The Great Reset, to find out more about the CSG

play because it is so, so important.

People have to understand that underpinning.

So just a little plug over.

Well, thank you very much.

We don't pay pay you to be on this show, but perhaps we should.

That was very good.

Thank you very much.

Appreciate it.

Have a good one.

Carol Roth.

By the way, she's right, though.

The book will explain all of this, and it is going to cost you in your pension.

And you need to find out.

The California, what is it, Calipers?

That's all ESG.

Now, all of it is ESG.

And if they're doing it, I can guarantee your state benefits.

That's why, Idaho,

you should have passed a law that said you can't invest

in anything that is working with the ES or G

because ESG will hurt these investments while hurting our own states.

So ask your company,

and if you want to really get serious about it, find an ERISA, E-R-I-S-A, ERISA attorney, and ask them, do I have a case for breach of fiduciary duty with the respect on my 401k or my pension?

Are they doing the right thing for me or are they doing the right thing for them?

Back in a minute.

Big fan of being prepared, as you know.

If you've been listening to me for any period of time, you know that being prepared isn't just about stored food, water, guns, ammo, God, you know, stuff like that.

It's also about making sure that the life you lead is as safe as possible and you're watching your back.

Well, how are you going to do that?

How are you going to do that online?

Because I think I'm pretty safe and

they've gotten into my house.

They've gotten into, you know, stuff past my firewalls, past all my protection.

It's bad when it happens.

So now what do you do?

Well, the first thing you do is you get the best people you can to stop anybody that can be stopped.

Now, nobody can stop everybody because it's changing all the time.

But when you have somebody coming in for identity theft,

you got to try to stop them with the best in the business.

And I think that's lifelock.

Then if somebody does get through, you become a victim.

How the heck do I clean that up?

I don't know.

How do I get my name back?

How do I get my credit back?

How do I get my credibility back?

That's where Lifelock comes in as well.

They alert you if they see something.

And if somebody misses it, if they miss it, if somehow or another it slips through, they are going to be able to work with you to fix it.

Joe Biden made some news over the weekend in his big speech because, as you know, he was put into office based on his foreign policy expertise.

This is what he does.

He's known for it.

He has owned this arena his entire career.

Now, when you look back at his entire career, you see nonstop,

terrible, terrible mistakes,

terrible judgments.

failure after failure after failure, but that is still the rationale proposed for his presidency.

and he made a big speech in Poland this weekend talking about Ukraine and

he blurted out something this is clip four

where he spoke about Vladimir Putin listen Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia for free people refused to live in a world of hopelessness and darkness.

We will have a different future, a brighter future rooted in democracy and principles, hope and light, of decency and dignity, of freedom and possibilities.

For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power.

Now, you might agree with that.

I think a lot of Americans do agree with that.

That Vladimir Putin in power is a problem for us, for the world, certainly for Ukraine, for everybody.

However, when a president makes a statement like that, it seems as if our official policy is regime change in Russia.

And that's not something you blurt out at the end of a speech.

That's something that if you're going to go down that road, number one, you do it after careful consideration as to how you roll that out.

And secondarily, you do it with the knowledge that you're likely to start World War III.

You know, when you're going to war with Russia, you're threatening them with regime change, Vladimir Putin's going to do pretty much anything he can to hold on to power.

So the fact that this is just blurted out at the end of a speech is a real problem.

You also have him talking to troops.

This is

the same trip, same trip, multiple mistakes that the White House later on had to try to walk back.

Here is Biden talking about U.S.

troops possibly heading to Ukraine.

No, but the Ukrainian people, Ukrainian people have a lot of backbone.

They have a lot of guts.

And I'm sure you're observing it.

And I don't mean just the military, which is we've been trained in since back when Russia moved into

southeast

Ukraine.

But also the average citizen.

Look at how they're stepping up.

Look at how they're stepping up.

And you're going to see when you're there, and sometimes you've been there, you're going to see, you're going to see women, young people

stand in the middle of front of a damn tank.

Okay.

So why, where would they be to see a woman or a child standing up in front of a tank?

Where would that occur?

Wouldn't happen in Poland.

It would have to be in Ukraine, seemingly saying that some U.S.

troops have already been in Ukraine.

Again,

the type of comment when you blurt it out could risk World War III.

That's how serious that is.

And I ask you this.

Because I have

stood, I think, in the same position from the very beginning.

Joe Biden's going to be a terrible president.

Kamala Harris would be a terrible president.

Let's pray that, because I think Kamala would be worse.

Let's pray that everything's fine with Joe and he never leaves office because Kamala would be worse.

The question at this point is: is that true?

I can, because I think Kamala Harris, who is famous for her basically blathering on about nothing, would be preferable at this point to a president who mistakenly might draw us into global nuclear war.

At least she would just suck as a president and not possibly maybe not get us

all on the wrong side of an ICBM.

I don't know.

At this point, would Kamala be terrible, but slightly better?

It's a type of thing she might even be putting on her business cards right now.

Kamala, terrible, but slightly better.

came up with ZStack, scientifically formulated.

It's kosher.

It's GMP certified, produced here in the United States.

And you know what it does, Stu?

What does it do, Glenn?

Well, that's a stupid question.

It's a new day of time to rise.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenback program.

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

I'm going to give you such a hit.

It'll sting for a long time.

All right.

Chief Investment offers officer of the bleakly advisory group expects a recession within the next six months oh that'd be you know i would be happy with just a recession wouldn't you he manages about eight billion dollars in assets uh then there's david rosenberg the current chief economist at rosenberg research previously the chief economy economist at merrill lynch said recession coming as early as summer.

Scray.

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

Have you called Goldline yet?

You might want to call Goldline right now.

You need a hedge against insanity, a hedge against inflation.

What they're doing to the dollar now

is intentional.

They are going to reset this dollar.

And

that'll be good because then it'll be a programmable digital currency where they could tell you what you can and can't buy and have all of the instantaneous information on you of what you're spending your money on and how much you're making.

And then they could just take taxes out whenever they wanted or shut your shut your money line down.

A drop of a hat would be great.

Chris Stewart is with us now.

He is the representative from the state of Utah.

Welcome to the program, Mr.

Chris Stewart.

How are you?

Glenn, great to be with you as always.

I sense a little sarcasm, so I want you to know I'm going to keep my sarcasm in check as best we can during our time.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Chris is the author of The Final Fight for Freedom.

If you haven't read that book yet, you should.

It is the perfect book for people that you're trying to explain what is happening and what is coming because it takes you from a fictional scenario that everybody can understand.

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

It's a fantastic book, The Final Fight for Freedom.

So, Chris, a couple of things.

First, let's start with the president this weekend.

Everybody's talking about what he said that, you know, basically...

Somebody should go over and shoot shoot Putin.

Maybe we'll do it.

I mean,

that's one way to interpret it.

And people are trying to make it look like he's just incompetent.

I have another theory.

This is what he really feels.

He also, you could blow it off, and I did at first blow off his statement to the troops.

And you'll see that soon

when you get to Ukraine.

And they blew that off as just a, you know,

a gaff.

But then the White House yesterday also came out with a tweet that I found really quite frightening, and that is, we're engaged anew in a great battle for freedom, a battle between democracy and autocracy, between liberty and repression.

This battle will not be won in days or months.

We need to steal ourselves for the long fight ahead.

What the hell's going on, Chris?

Yeah, boy, there's a lot to unpack there, Glenn.

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

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

There's no question in my mind, and I think he's made that clear through the last several months that that's exactly what he would like to see happen.

And I think we need to ask ourselves a couple questions then.

First, do you think that Vladimir Putin is stronger now at home than he was three days ago?

Oh, a lot stronger.

I promise you that he is.

There's no doubt about it.

And by the way, the irony of us claiming and

this five years we went through where Russia was interfering with our own elections, with our own democratic process.

How do you think the people in Russia feel now?

I mean, and so they're going to rally around him.

It makes him stronger.

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

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

Chris, I heard this morning that Vladimir Putin is saying phase one is over.

And it looked like a chance for him to

save face and kind of retreat and just take the Dunbar region if that would be acceptable to the Ukrainians, which I doubt.

But it looked like he was for the first time not talking about advancing.

So are are we closer to peace or closer to war after this weekend?

Well, I mean, who knows, Glenn?

I mean, honestly, I could give you my opinion on that and I will, but we have to caveat it with the sand.

So the fog of war is thick, and it's like the great saying, everyone's got to plan until you get punched in the face.

And that's what we're dealing with here.

But whether it's less likely or more likely is unknown.

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

But that has to be our goal.

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

And whether it's they give up the Donesk region in the east and probably Crimea, and as you said, Zelensky has been has indicated he'd be open to that, but the alternative is just a catastrophe.

And that is we kill who knows how many Ukrainian people in a proxy war for year after year after year now.

It will look like Syria seven, eight, ten years from now.

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

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

What about the MOAs in Iran?

What about

North Korea?

Where do we draw the line

and compel?

That's why it was scary to me that

we are saying outright, this is not a gaffe.

This is from

the White House and POTUS's Twitter feed.

A battle between democracy and autocracy, between liberty and repression.

This battle will not be won in days or months either.

We need to steal ourselves for the long fight ahead.

When you're making it the battle not for Ukraine, but

half the world, and the world is already dividing itself now because of Ukraine.

What are we really doing?

What are we fighting?

Are we preparing to separate ourselves from half the world?

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

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

Why only Russia?

Once again, why not President Xi?

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

And look at millions of Muslim leaguers who are in essentially concentration camps.

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

And where do you draw the line?

Including, by the way, Glenn, with some of our allies.

Because some of our allies are not pillars of virtue.

We align ourselves because we must in order to

enable some type of global security.

There are occasions when we have to align ourselves with people that are not democratic governments.

And where do you draw the line?

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

And how do you justify only the Ukraine and only Vladimir Putin?

It's nonsense.

And we surely have learned this over the last 20 years.

We cannot compel democracy on nations that it is not

within their history.

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

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

There is no such thing as just metadata anymore.

Everything can be tracked down to the individual person.

And

you have just introduced legislation that is

set up to to prevent any intelligence agency from spying on American citizens.

Don't we already have that law somewhere in the Bill of Rights?

Yeah, yeah, we do.

And in fact, we have it very explicitly in executive orders and in legislation that's already exists.

But here's the deal, Glenn, and I'm going to try to not be sarcastic about this, but I have to make this one point, is the U.S.

U.S.

people do not trust government agencies anymore.

Pick one.

Who knew that the CDC was political?

Well, we learned four or five years ago the fbi and the doj certainly are and and the nsa and the cia it you can't post office is spying on us yeah

yeah

so this is and this is thank you for bringing this up glenn because this is so important this administration came to power and they said the greatest threat facing our security is not once again china or russia or the mullahs in iran or north korea they said the greatest threat facing our own security is internal they said it's white supremacy domestic violent extremists DVEs, they call them.

Okay, so, well, then they use that justification, which is nonsense, as I think the vast majority of Americans would agree.

But then they say, okay, well, the intelligence community, for example, the NSA, the CIA, they cannot collect intelligence.

But now, suddenly, under this administration, they can receive intelligence.

Well, tell me the difference.

What is the difference between collecting intelligence and receiving intelligence?

And they then have used that new justification, that new jurisdiction, you know, description of a word, which I think we would all understand, say, okay, well, now we are going to involve the National Counterterrorism Training Center and the director of national intelligence to write reports on domestic extremists, which are, by definition, American citizens.

It cannot happen.

Well, we are,

I mean, we've found a very convenient way.

We spy on England and they spy on us.

And I don't even think we need that anymore.

I mean,

the problem is, is the intelligence agencies include almost every agency now.

It's not that hard to do, apparently.

And we are working together all around the world.

And somebody told me, Chris, I said,

when will a president shut this down?

And they said, never.

Never.

Because the excuse will be everybody else has it.

And and we can't be the only one that doesn't know what our citizens are doing.

Yeah.

So.

Well,

go ahead.

I think it's fair to point this out.

You know, this type of attitude towards American people,

the incredible abuse of Department of Justice and FBI that we saw in the Russian hoax, where

they're literally lying to Congress again and again, they're lying to the FISA courts, et cetera.

That only happened under a Democratic administration.

And this new redefinition of words to where they cannot collect, that they can receive.

Once again, only a Democrat administration is allowing that.

So

I don't think we've got equal concerns here.

It's certainly true the Republican Party, ironically, because this is a bit of a shift.

Most of us were viewed as being defense hawks, but now we are the protectors of privacy.

It's the ACLU and our Democratic colleagues and others such as them who are saying

they're the ones who are fighting our initiatives, our efforts to try to retain privacy and protect civil liberties for Americans.

So what would be the punishment for, let's say, Google just happens to say, you know what, we have all this data on people and we just got to get it off our servers.

Do you want to take a look at it?

What would be the penalty for any government agency?

Yeah.

So, I mean, look, if they are, if the problem has been, is like I said when we first started the interview, there's already rules.

There's already executive orders, there's already legislation, but they don't attribute any penalty to it.

It's like, hey, this is a bad idea, but if you do it, we're just going to remind you it's a bad idea, and then we're going to move on.

Right.

And so, you know, but there's no penalties attached, so there's no disincentive for it.

And so this legislation would attach a penalty for it.

It would attach a penalty to the person, to the individual.

So let's just say

you were involved in any of these,

you know, the Russiagate scandals.

What kind of penalty would you receive?

Well, and honestly, Glenn, they're kind of apples and oranges because the Russiagate scandal was just so clear.

I mean, there was clear deception.

There was clear lying to agencies.

There was clear deception to the FISA courts.

So it actually already is against law, as you can imagine, and there are penalties attached to those kinds of behavior.

This is a little bit bit different in the sense of they are actually working under what they believe is a new executive authority.

And so it clarifies that you don't have that authority.

And if you continue to claim that authority, we're going to punish you.

We're going to prosecute you for doing that.

You can't do it and just say, well, we believe we have the authority to do it.

No, we're going to say very definitively, you do not.

All right.

Do you have time just to hang for a minute?

I've got a couple of more questions for you.

I do.

Okay, good.

All right.

Back in one minute.

I want to tell you the number one concern that you and your family should have right now

is inflation and what's happening to the money.

I called the publishers of the Tuttle Twins and I asked them if they would just make this book free.

This book is for your kids and it is a great way to understand inflation and the Federal Reserve, what it does, what it all means, what the cure is for it.

It is based on the book, The Creature from Jekyll Island, and that's what this is called, The Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island.

It is a monster.

The Fed is a monster.

And the more we feed it, the worse it gets and the bigger it gets.

And it's about to get the meal of a lifetime.

Everybody's accounts.

They have a lot of great books with the Tuttle Twins, but I think this is one that every single family should have right now.

So they've agreed to give away this book.

It's all about money and inflation and the Fed.

All you pay for is shipping.

Go to TuttleTwinsbeck.com.

TuttleTwinsbeck.com.

While supplies last, you will get this free book, The Creature from Jekyll Island.

You will understand inflation.

You will understand how it works, what causes it, and

what the Fed really is.

Again, a free book.

Just pay for shipping.

So we're back with Congressman Chris Stewart, and his book is The Final Fight for Freedom, which is a must-read.

It just

encapsulates almost all of the stuff that we are fighting against right now.

And that is a wide array.

And it's all explained in a very simple, simple way.

And

it's a little breathtaking, but it is also written in a way to where it takes you on a story.

and then shows you the facts of that story and tells you exactly what's happening in our government.

It's called The Final Fight for Freedom, and you can pick it up at bookstores now.

It really is a must-read.

Chris, I want to talk to you a little bit about the maximum motherload of personal information, the programmable digital currency that we're now, quote, studying in Washington.

Who is the one that actually authorizes the currency?

Is it Congress?

Or is it the Fed?

Or who is it that says you can switch to a digital currency?

Yeah, that's actually a great question, Glenn, and I'm not an expert on this.

I'll tell you my view,

but it's subject to

this one caveat, and that is, regardless of who's authorized, it may not be the actual individual or agencies who end up authorizing a digital currency.

But I think that Congress ultimately has oversight on this.

Clearly, we do, and clearly, we authorize this.

Now, the Fed, as you know,

certainly

more than I do, but as you indicate over and over again, again, the Fed has taken powers into itself, just like the presidency has over Congress.

The Fed has taken powers into itself that are just frightening over the last 80 years and accelerating rapidly, I mean, in a breathtaking pace over the last five to eight years, going back probably to 2008.

And, you know, it's an irony that the one thing people wanted from cryptocurrency was privacy.

They wanted to, you know, to have an ability to not be manipulated by Fed policy or by monetary policy.

And the creation of a government currency does exactly the opposite.

I mean, it beholdens us in ways to where virtually everything we do, including everywhere we go,

every purchase we make would be monitored, potentially monitored, and if so, you know, if deemed necessary, corrected by federal policy, by federal bureaucrats.

It should frighten the life out of people.

Okay.

Well, Chris, would you look into that for me and see if there's anybody on the Hill that is at least even questioning the Fed?

Because I think this is going to come fast and furious.

Well, Glenn, there are.

I promise you.

I sat down for probably a little more than an hour with Patrick McHenry, who will be the next chairman of financial services just last week on this issue.

And I promise you, he's intensely aware of it.

He's intensely concerned, as we are.

He sitting on that committee and being the chairman, we pray in 2022 when we take over the House, he will play a key role in

trying to restrict what I think is just a horrible, horrible idea from this administration once again.

Wow, I am glad to hear that, Chris.

Thank you very much.

All right.

The name of the book is The Final Fight for Freedom.

If you want to get into the fight, he's just introduced a new bill to prevent intelligence agencies from spying on American citizens.

You can find all of his information at stewart.house.gov.

Get involved.

There are no bystanders.

One of them is The Great Reset Advice for Dummies, Meet Your Neighbors.

This is by Michaela Hedrick, who Michaela is

new on the staff.

You've been with us two months?

No, it's about four months.

I don't know.

It's a vortex here.

I know it's weird.

Time just goes away, doesn't it?

So, Michaela has been here, and she's one of our writers, and she's a millennial.

and you have set out to try, unbeknownst to me, to try to do all the things that I urge people to do.

Yeah, I think that if you believe something, you can't believe it enough just to let it give you anxiety.

You have to believe it enough to do something about it.

And I know I was stopping at the anxiety when I first started working here.

I have that effect on everyone, don't I?

You do.

Yeah, yeah.

And so I wanted

to do something.

That is the whole point of why I'm writing these articles is so that way we can get over the fear and the hopelessness.

The great scholar Yoda said that fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering.

Well, fear comes when we don't know what to do.

Sorry.

Oh, was that wrong?

Leads to suffering.

Yes.

That's how he said it.

But anyway, go ahead.

Much, much better.

So you're right.

And people get trapped in the fear and they don't know what to do.

But you have said that I overwhelm you with things to do.

Well, you used to.

Okay.

And now I feel that I, I have to be in control of my own life.

I can't let all these things that I can't control freak me out constantly.

There are things that I can do and I have to do them.

I feel that one of the biggest issues is that we all are like, if only somebody would do something.

On Twitter, we get on and say, if someone else did this, it would all be better.

Well, this is a be your own hero moment right now.

And I'm, I'm optimistic.

I'm young.

I feel like the right person to try to be my own hero because I still believe that I can be.

Yeah.

And so I want to try to win.

No, I'm kidding.

I'm kidding.

I'm kidding.

I'm kidding.

The despair will kick in eventually.

Eventually just be like, it's not, there's no way to win.

Right.

In like 20 years, I want to sit here and still be hopeful just as a kicket to everybody who says that.

And it's a hard, I know.

No, no, no.

And it's not true.

I mean, what you believe now is true.

And it's true now.

Just so many people just get so worn down.

That makes sense.

Yeah.

It's a lot.

And I want to break it down step by step.

You talk about being in your local communities.

You saying they are a lot.

You need to be in a community of people who are like you.

Well, most of us don't know who our community is at all.

We have no clue who lives next to us.

And if they're completely crazy, maybe they're completely on board.

That's most of us.

I did a poll in the office.

I said, who here even knows their neighbors?

Just sitting in the office.

Everyone's like, uh,

no, like.

Not really.

And then I'm like, who here thinks it'd be a good idea to know their neighbors?

They're like, oh yeah, it'd be a great idea to know my neighbors.

So there's this kind of gap between what we think and what we do.

And I'm trying to close that gap and prove that it can be done, that we can live the things that we believe, because if we just believe them and do nothing about it, that is the recipe for anxiety.

That's how you get anxious.

And it is crucial that you know your neighbors and that if you are alone, that you don't live there.

You have to, or or you have a a group that you know really, really well that does see the world the same way.

You just, you, no man is an island.

And what's coming, we're going to need each other.

Yeah, I talk about, I grew up in Florida with the hurricanes and we had a woman across the street who was elderly and she was losing her memory.

And during the hurricanes, it'd be really confusing for her because she would have no power and forget why and there'd be these storms going on and all of our neighbors would bring her food and they would come and remind her what's going on and comfort her.

And I learned something from that because There's nothing stopping me from being that person one day.

And

do unto others as you would have them do unto you is not just a cute thing to say.

It's a fact of life.

They talk about it in karma, too, that what you do will be done to you.

That's just what's going to happen.

I had a very similar situation growing up.

There was a neighbor who, you know, we didn't call it Alzheimer's at the time, but was losing their memory.

And I learned a great lesson.

You know, if you go over there, you can.

pretty much take whatever you want and they won't remember it.

Wait, that's not exactly what I was trying to get.

I feel like maybe you're missing.

Oh, that wasn't the point.

Is that what you're getting from this, Stu?

Pretty Pretty much.

Oh, shoot.

Wow.

Okay, maybe just read the article then.

Okay.

Yeah.

All right.

All right.

So have you met your neighbors?

So I just moved to Dallas.

And the first thing that I started doing, let me start by saying it's not as hard as you would think.

And you don't have to go out and organize a potluck and become the HOA president.

You can just go out and see a cute dog and say hi to the dog and the person at the same time.

Which is a big step for some people.

I joined a Bible study in my neighborhood and that's been really beneficial.

I had a woman come up to me on a bike and say hi, and we talked for a while.

It's not as scary as it sounds, but some people aren't going to wanna do that.

Some people aren't social types.

They don't wanna go out and meet their neighbors because maybe 90% of your neighbors are freaks.

That might be true.

But there might be one person.

I bet everyone has one person in their neighborhood that they would actually really like, and that your life may be a lot better if you could give that person your keys when you go on a vacation.

Your life might be a lot better if you could actually trust and know the people around you.

It might just be a teeny tiny bit better and it might be better for them, which makes everything better.

So, I'm going out and trying to meet my neighbors in the way that I do it, which is something I advise in the article: is like you don't have to be the potluck person.

Like, I'm not the potluck person.

If I try to be the potluck person, you sound like the potluck person.

I'm not, Bun.

I'm not my husband.

My husband's the potluck person.

He will stand and talk to neighbors for three hours.

I'm like, come in.

I want to read my book.

I'm actually like that at home.

When I get home, I just want to sit at home and read my book.

It's a lot to work here sometimes.

I just want to read.

I don't know what that means.

No, I really, I love that.

It's wonderful, but it uses a lot of my brain space.

So then I go home and I just want to read my book.

But I can do things my way.

When I was where I was living before in Florida, I joined boards.

I was on the Parks and Rec board.

I geeked out about that kind of stuff.

And some people are like, oh, you're on a parks and rec board.

Okay, fine.

Well, you don't join the parks and rec board.

You host the Halloween party.

You do whatever you do, or you just pet the cute dogs.

Right.

Maybe that's it.

I will tell you

that I think the parks and rec,

I think any of your local local zoning, anything.

I've come up against a zoning committee.

And I always just thought, oh, zoning committee is just neighbors.

No,

they're the worst neighbors.

They're the ones that want to control

everything.

No, they are.

They are.

That's what that's.

Do you remember my situation in New Canaan, Connecticut?

Oh, my gosh.

They were insane.

They hated you.

Insane.

They did hate me.

They did hate me.

I was trying just to build a simple fence.

I just need a fence.

I'll even build it, you know, in extraordinary ways so it matches all everybody else's fences.

You know, because they have all these stone fence.

Oh, this is from the 1700.

Whatever.

They're rocks stacked on each other.

Anyway.

Yeah, there's tyranny sometimes.

Yeah.

And they actually said to me, I said, look, I really need this.

It'll look just like the rest of the houses in the neighborhood.

I need this for security.

My children, you know, we've had security issues.

And they actually said, You should have thought of that before you moved here.

Maybe that's a good reason that you should be on the board then.

So, is it

what you're saying basically that you should get to know your neighbors so that you can manipulate the local zoning laws?

Yeah, that's it.

Okay.

I hope that's what everybody is doing.

I think that's what everybody is here at.

Yeah, I think that's everybody.

No, I was thinking more along the way.

See, this is why when you're 50, you'll just be like, there's no way to win.

Yeah.

This whole series is about trying to combat what we hear every day that's coming about the great reset.

And we talk about localization as the solution to globalization, but most of us aren't involved locally at all.

Actually, all we do is tweet about what the federal government does.

Yes, that's very true.

That's a big, big problem.

And part of the reason we aren't involved is because we don't know them, which means we don't care.

If we cared, we would know them.

And if we know, if we knew them, we would care.

And I believe that really firmly.

So a lot of us just don't know.

I think it's because we don't care.

I mean, I care about my neighbors.

But if you don't do anything about it, then that care is irrelevant.

Theoretically.

Everyone in theory loves their neighbors.

But when you go, that's why I'm saying I'm trying to build the bridge between who we are and who we say we want to be.

And there's a discrepancy.

Most of us have a lot of knowledge, but we don't act on it very much.

And I'm trying to see if I can level that back out and say, actually, a lot of us don't even need all the knowledge we have if we can't even do anything with it.

If it just weighs you down to know all that's coming about the great reset, then that's because you're not doing enough.

That's not that you should stop listening.

It's because maybe you haven't tried enough in your own life to try to balance this all out.

Well, it is a very difficult thing.

And I highly recommend.

In fact, I mean, I think this should be a priority.

If you don't know who your neighbors are, if you don't know,

you know, who kind of thinks alike, who's willing to help each other when times get bad,

if you don't know that,

it won't work to your favor.

And you won't be able to help others as well.

And we are going to desperately need each other in our communities.

And anything you can do to be in the right community, right neighborhood, or

start that passion up around people who probably do think like you, but they just aren't doing anything about it.

It has to be done at the local level.

What's good about this advice is that even if everything doesn't turn to worse, that your life will still be better.

This will still be a net positive to know your neighbors and to serve them and to care about your community, even if everything doesn't get worse.

That really depends on what neighbors you meet, right?

Well, they could be crazy, but then maybe

you could live next to me.

And I think that 90% of your neighbors you might find annoying, and that's okay because there's 1%.

And I tell this story.

I like my neighbors, actually.

I love my neighbors.

And they are crazy sometimes.

I tell the story about, you know, you always have the neighbor that is like, oh, is your mower broken?

When they know your mower's not broken and you haven't mowed your grass.

There's always that neighbor, right?

But that is also the same neighbor that when a hurricane comes is making sure you have a generator.

So it's a good thing you know that neighbor sometimes.

Sometimes they're also like, ah,

is your generator not working?

I think that people.

No, it's not.

Thanks for asking.

I have a fundamental belief that most people are good until they prove me wrong.

And it takes a lot to prove me wrong.

And I fundamentally believe that people are even better when they feel that you care about them.

I mean, Carol Roth said on the show, like, tell your neighbors these things.

And I wanted to add, but don't open with that.

Like, you've never opened your neighborhood, if you've never talked to your neighbors, don't open with the collapse of the West, right?

That's typical excuse at parties.

That's why my wife, when we go to parties, she literally will say, don't make anybody cry.

Well, there's a cry.

If you're a party, what else am I going to do?

There's a phrase that says, they don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

And that's a really wise statement.

Because if you would like to be affecting your community, they need to know that you care about them.

If we were in high school, I would never be around her.

I would just be like, no, I can't do that.

What?

You're too optimistic, too happy, too.

But I'm realistic about this.

I think this is a realistic solution.

No, I agree.

Saying hi to your neighbors is not like something that only fairy tale princesses do.

We used to all do it.

We all talk about how we want the wonder years of America back.

Well, we have to bring them back.

That's our job.

Part of that was the picnics in the neighborhood.

Part of that was that everybody knew who they were voting for when they voted in their local elections.

I will tell you that the

America that I have always wanted to live in, and

I don't think I'm alone, is the street that my grandparents lived on.

It was not fancy.

It was just a little farming community.

And when I say a farm, I mean, I don't know, 10, 12 acres, 20 acres.

Nobody had a lot,

but it was just...

It was just a community where every single person knew who the other person was on the street.

And if you saw a car going down the street that you didn't recognize,

you know, if you saw that, you wouldn't necessarily snoop, but you would be on alert.

If something was happening and you saw a car go into a neighbor's house and you knew they were not there,

you would actually go over and go, hey, can I help you?

What's going on?

And you, they,

I mean, I will tell you, they, they stop.

My grandfather, my uncle, and another neighbor stopped a robber in a neighbor's house.

I mean, they just pinned him to the floor and said, call the cops.

And the cops got there and the guy was like, please take me, please take me to jail.

I mean, it is, there is something about the neighborhood when everybody is watching out for each other.

Yeah.

And it turns out that when you care about things, that makes them more meaningful.

And a lot of us wish there was more meaning in this world.

Well, that comes from caring about things.

And you can care about your street.

You can care about your neighbors, and maybe that will make things just a little bit more meaningful.

Maybe it won't be the Wonder Years, but it might be a little better than it is right now.

And I think if you're listening now, you know probably why I hired Michaela and at the same time, why I think, God, I hired this woman,

Michaela.

Thank you so much.

You can find her

travels on trying to find the advice that I give and find practical ways to actually do it.

You can find that at glenbeck.com.

Just hit blog

and look for her articles.

Back in just a second.

Thanks, Michaela.

Rough Greens.

The dogs have weighed in and they all agree.

They ask for it by name.

I mean, Stu, is your dog asked for

Rough Greens?

Rough Greens, yes.

Does a good 30-minute testimonial every time we bring it out.

Loves it.

Loves it.

Lots of five-syllable words in the middle of it.

Yeah.

And your dog will get so excited if they're older, they'll look at it and be like, oh my gosh, they'll start wagging their tail and then they pee on the floor.

That's how you know they love it.

They'll ask for it by name, Rough Greens.

We have a little puppy that we

added to the family.

The puppy.

Yes.

Who the happy pee is the specialty of this particular dog.

Yeah.

You walk, you're like, hey, how are you?

It pees right up immediately.

Yeah.

So you have to act really bored when you see her initially until she gets outside.

Every time we come home from a vacation or, you know, for a long time time away,

even if it's just like six hours, everybody gets out of the car and everybody's like, do not act excited around Uno because he'll get, he'll say, we'll be like, hey, buddy, and he'll just pee all over the floor.

If you get him outside, then show him the love.

Anyway, Rough Greens, I don't know why we're talking about this.

Should be talking about not the dog food, but the stuff you sprinkle on the dog food that gives them everything they need.

Probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, mega-oils.

These are just some of the things that your dog needs to live a healthier lifestyle, and they're all in Rough Greens.

The Glenn Beck Program.

I think the most important thing that we've learned today on today's broadcast podcast is

that,

you know, the president said this guy can't remain in power.

And it's either because he believes it or he is so unfit to be in office, he doesn't know what he's saying.

And that's really what everybody should be asking today on this subject.

Does he mean it, which means he's a war hawk,

or

is he just

an imbecile that doesn't really know what he's saying anymore?

One of the two, gang.

Let's figure that out soon.

This is the Glenn Back Program.
