So what does that mean?
What is Congress and the administration going to do with all of this?
He specifically asked for a new global organization, and he said all companies need to unite against Russia.
Well, that's great and everything, except Russia is defaulting today on something.
And they're also making deals with Saudi Arabia and as we'll tell you in today's podcast, India.
That will directly affect you.
Oh, and one other thing.
Interest rates are being raised most likely today.
And we go into the new digital dollar.
What does that mean?
And why?
Why would that ever happen?
All on today's podcast.
You're listening to
the best of the Blenbeck program.
Here is the President of the Ukraine.
His virtual address to Congress.
Great to hear it.
Okay, Nancy, come on.
She's just glory to heroes.
Thank you very much.
Madam Speaker, members of the Congress, ladies and gentlemen,
Americans, friends,
I'm proud to greet you from Ukraine, from our capital, the city of Kiev,
a city that is under missiles and airstrikes
from Russian troops every day,
but it doesn't give up.
And we have not even thought about it for a second.
Just like many other cities and communities in our beautiful country, which found themselves in the worst war since World War II,
I have the honor to greet you on behalf of the Ukrainian people
and freedom-loving people who for eight years have been resisting the Russian aggression.
Those who give their best
sons and daughters to stop
this full-scale Russian invasion.
Right now,
the destiny of our country is being decided.
The destiny of our people,
whether Ukrainians will be free,
whether they will be able to preserve their democracy.
Russia has attacked not just us, not just our land, not just our cities.
It went on a brutal offensive against our values,
basic human values.
It threw tanks and planes against our freedom, against our right to live freely in our own country, choosing our own future
against our desire for happiness, against our national dreams,
just like the same dreams you have, you Americans, just
like anyone else in the United States.
I remember your national memorial in Rashmore,
the faces of your prominent presidents, those who laid the foundation of the United States of America as it is today,
democracy, independence, freedom, and care for everyone, for every person,
for everyone who works diligently, who lives honestly, who respects the law.
We in Ukraine want the same for our people.
That
is a normal part of your own life.
Ladies and gentlemen,
friends, Americans,
in your great history, you have pages that would allow you to understand Ukrainians,
understand us now,
when you need
right now, when we need you right now.
Remember Pearl Harbor,
a terrible morning of December 7, 1941, when your sky was black from the planes attacking you.
Just remember it.
Remember September the 11th,
a terrible day in
2001, when evil tried to turn your cities, independent territories
in battlefields,
when innocent people were attacked,
attacked from air,
just like no one else expected it.
You could not stop it.
Our country
experiences the same every day, right now,
at this moment, every night, for three weeks now,
various Ukrainian cities Odessa and Khati, Chernih, and Sumer,
Russia has turned the Ukrainian sky into a source of death for thousands of people.
Russian troops have already fired nearly one thousand missiles at Ukraine, countless bombs.
They use drones to kill us with precision.
This is a terror that Europe has not seen, has not seen for 80 years, and we are asking for a reply, for an answer to this terror from the whole world.
Is this a lot to ask for to create a no-fly
zone over Ukraine to save people?
Is this too much to ask?
Humanitarian no-fly zone,
something that Ukraine, that Russia would not be able to terrorize our free cities.
If this is too much to ask,
we offer an alternative.
You know
what kind of defense systems we need, S300 and other similar systems.
You know how much depends on the battlefield on the ability to use aircraft, powerful, strong
aviation, to protect our people, our freedom, our land,
aircraft that can help Ukraine,
help
Europe,
and you know
that they
exist and you have them,
but they are on Earth, not
in the Ukrainian sky.
They do not defend our people.
I have a dream.
These words are known to each of you today.
I can say,
I have a need.
I need to protect our sky.
I need your decision, your help, which means exactly the same, the same you feel when you hear the words, I have a dream.
Ladies and gentlemen, friends,
Ukraine is grateful to the United States for its overwhelming support
for everything that your government and your people have done for us, for weapons and ammunition, for training, for finances, for leadership in the free world, which helps us to pressure the aggressor economically.
I am grateful to President Biden for his personal involvement,
for his sincere commitment to the defense of Ukraine and democracy all over the world.
I am grateful to you for the resolution, which recognizes all those who commit crimes against Ukraine, against the Ukrainian people as war criminals.
However, now,
it is true, in the darkest time for our country, for the whole Europe, I call on you to do more.
New packages of sanctions are needed constantly, every week, until the Russian military machine stops.
Restrictions are needed for everyone on whom this unjust regime is based.
We propose that the United States sanction all politicians in the Russian Federation who remain in their offices and do not
cut ties with those who are responsible for the aggression against Ukraine,
from
state Dumas members to the last official who has lack of morale to break the state terror.
All American companies must leave Russia from their market, leave their market immediately because it is flooded with our blood.
Ladies and gentlemen, members of Congress,
please take the lead.
If you have companies in your districts who finance the Russian military machine leaving business in Russia, you should put pressure.
I'm asking to make sure that the Russians do not receive a single penny that they use to destroy people in Ukraine.
The destruction of our country, the destruction of Europe.
All American ports should be closed for Russian goods.
Peace is more important than income, and we have have to defend this principle in the whole world.
We already became part of the anti-war coalition, a big anti-war coalition that unites many countries, dozens of countries, those who reacted in principle to President Putin's decision to invade our country.
But we need to move on and do more.
We need to create new tools to respond quickly and stop the war, the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24th.
And it would be fair if it ended in a day
in 24 hours.
That evil would be punished immediately.
Today, the world does not have
such tools.
The war of the past has prompted our predecessors to create institutions that should protect us from war,
But
they unfortunately don't work.
We see it, you see it, so we need new ones, new institutions, new alliances, and we offer them.
We propose to create an association, U24, United for Peace, a union of responsible countries that have the strength and consciousness to stop.
conflicts immediately provide all the necessary assistance in 24 hours if necessary even weapons, if necessary, sanctions, humanitarian support, political support, finances, everything you need to keep
the peace and quickly
save the world, to save lives.
In addition, such associations, such union could provide assistance to those who are experiencing natural disasters, man-made disasters, who fell victims to humanitarian crisis or epidemic.
Remember how difficult it was for for the world to do the simplest thing, just to give vaccines, vaccines against COVID, to save lives, to prevent new strains.
The world spent months, years doing things like that much faster to make sure there are no human losses, no victims.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Americans,
if such alliance would exist today, that is U24, we would be able to save thousands of lives in our country.
In many countries of the world,
those who need peace,
those
who suffer inhumane destruction,
I ask you to watch one
video
of what the Russian troops did in our country, in our land.
We have to stop it.
We must prevent it, preventively destroy every single aggressor who seeks
to subjugate other nations.
Please watch the video.
So now he's going into a video that is showing all of the streets and the cities of Ukraine
before the Russians came in
and then the bombings that were happening and showing the same cities, showing scenes of
children being killed, dying.
It is quite graphic
and horrific babies being wrapped,
mass graves,
and just absolutely destroyed cities.
This
President of Ukraine is
brilliant
at using the media.
So many images that you haven't seen since
just reminiscent.
I guess we've seen them, it's just very reminiscent because of where it is of World War II.
Still the
video of
children
either in hiding or
in the streets or in hospitals.
If you see what Russia did to Chechnya,
this is pretty much what they did.
Then it finally ends with close the sky over Ukraine, please.
And we then
return back
to President Zelensky here in just a minute.
Let me just quickly, so we don't have to stop, let me tell you that this portion of the program is brought to you by My Patriot Supply.
Oh, here is the President.
Oh,
tell me how much time I have.
My Patriot Supply, please be prepared.
We have all kinds of problems that are headed our way.
As you know, in a few minutes, I'll tell you about the food shortage that is already coming.
Please prepare yourself.
Preparewicklen.com, get a special $150 discount, be prepared for whatever is coming.
Preparewickglenn.com.
Do it right now.
Preparewickglenn.com.
Here is President Zelensky.
To be the leader of the world.
Being
the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.
Peace in Europe
doesn't understand anymore.
It depends on those next to you,
on those who are strong.
Strong doesn't mean weak.
Strong is brave and ready to fight for the life of his citizens and citizens of the world,
for human rights, for freedom, for the right to live decently and to die when your time comes
and not when it's wanted by someone else,
by your neighbor.
Today, the Ukrainian people are defending not only Ukraine, we are fighting for the values of Europe and the world,
sacrificing our lives in the name of the future.
That's why today the American people are helping not just Ukraine, but Europe and the world to keep the planet alive, to keep justice in history.
Now I am almost 45 years old.
Today my age stopped, when the hearts of more than 100 children stopped beating.
I see no sense in life.
if it cannot stop the deaths.
And this is my main mission as the leader of my people, great Ukrainians.
And as the leader of my niche, I am addressing the President Biden.
You are the leader of the niche,
of your great nation.
I wish you to be the leader of the world.
Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.
Thank you.
Slavo Ukraine.
That is
the
president of Ukraine finally calling on President Biden.
Biden, you are the leader of a nation, but to be the leader of the world, you need to be the leader of peace.
This is a fascinating study
of
diplomacy here and
the use of modern technology.
You know, it is
there's really been one other time that this has been used this effectively,
and that is when Winston Churchill spoke in front of Congress.
This is what he said right after Pearl Harbor from the well of the Senate.
Seeing that's not it.
It's a large prostate thing.
That would have been weird if he would have come and said that.
That was the beginning of the speech, which was shocking at the time.
Very shocking.
But important for us to learn about the prostate issue.
Thank you very much, Stu.
Okay, so if you want to just pick it up here.
He talked about how we had lost
everything
because we wouldn't stick together.
But now we have to come together.
And this speech is really known as
a galvanizing speech that brought everyone together.
And he, just like Zelensky did, suggested that there should be some alliance.
We would have been able to avoid World War II had we had a real alliance in World War I.
It strikes me as
I don't recall a time when Nancy Pelosi or the Democrats have been this for
war.
The propaganda here is
quite remarkable.
Get to the point where there's many people on the left suggesting that those who oppose it should be arrested,
which is fascinating coming through the Bush era from the same people like Keith Olbermann who were saying how important dissent was back in the day.
And we're not even involved in this war, by the way, we should point out.
It's not even our war.
Yeah.
We're just helping.
Well,
are we not going to be involved in this war?
At least not yet.
I have a feeling
you are seeing.
If you want to look at reality, I think World War III has already begun.
We are just waiting for the final papers to be done.
this is the best of the glenbeck program
hey last week on the show we had a member of the mississippi freedom caucus do you remember steve hopkins
well he told us uh
as he described the most heinous piece of legislation he has ever seen that was about to be passed it was a tri-state compact bill between Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee to create a quasi-governmental agency packed with unelected officials who would be given enormous power, including the authority to issue bonds to intervene in any commerce affecting the district, even the power of eminent domain.
It was an unabashed public-private partnership designed to shift power from the representatives of the people to unelected bureaucrats.
It was all done under an organization named Region Smart, who, what a shocker, has ties to BlackRock.
Well, this heinous bill, I am happy to say, you stopped.
We received an email from our contacts in the Freedom Caucus of Mississippi letting us know after being flooded with calls, the bill is dead.
The email said, the chairman saw the show with Beck and Representative Hopkins and knew he couldn't possibly present it to the floor without getting absolutely hammered.
The grassroots also saw the show and flooded the the House members with calls and emails.
I saw many reps posting on Facebook and Twitter that the bill was dead, so their constituents would quit hounding them.
I also heard the bill in Tennessee is now struggling as more people are becoming aware of it.
So, Tennessee, it is your turn.
As I have always said, I believe this audience is going to be a turning point.
You are going to be the ones that save America.
An update in Idaho.
There's one more chance for it to come today,
but I don't think they're going to do it.
The treasurer says she wants the power to enforce it.
The bill says it should not be in the government's hand to enforce it.
It should go through the courts, and the average person should be able to bring litigation up if you go to a bank and they turn you down because of an ESG score.
The real story in Idaho, and it is very, very sad, the real story in Idaho is the big banks got to your representatives.
It is very clear.
I can show you, I mean, I was getting daily updates.
I can show you who is meeting with the representatives.
And perhaps I think I'm going to, well, no, I know I'm going to share that with you as you get closer to your election because you have to know who stood with it, who stood against it, and who just takes all of their cues from the big banks.
The big banks are a real, real
problem
when it comes to ESG and the Great Reset.
Can I ask you a related question here?
Yeah.
The ESG score that you might get, you talk about this often in that in a change of currency, there would be programmable money.
None of these things are
familiar to any American.
Programmable money does not necessarily seem familiar typically.
But is it, could it be used in a way similar to the way that food stamps, EBT cards, snap cards, where if you are taking money from the government for food stamps, what used to be called food stamps, you can't buy certain things.
Yes.
So the money, your money's no good here, essentially, except they don't give it to you for free.
You can't buy a certain, maybe a luxury item, or I feel like at times they limit alcohol purchases or things like that.
So you can't use the money from the government to buy things like that.
Is that how that would work?
I think kind of.
Here's the difference.
An EBT card or snap or whatever you call it in your state, a food stamp card, everyone gets the same food stamp card.
So everyone who has that card, first of all, has asked for it.
They have asked for help.
Okay.
And so that has allowed us as a people to say, okay, well, you know,
I guess is the exception of up in the Northeast, I think they just changed this.
You know, you're not going to have a lobster dinner on me.
Okay.
You're not going to have champagne.
Now, I guess in Philadelphia, it has changed where you can have champagne and a lobster dinner on the people.
What a surprise that the Democrats changed that.
Anyway,
you can't buy what you want.
You can buy what the state says is good for you and reasonable.
Okay.
But that happens across the board evenly.
This is digital money.
So it's not going to change your life.
People will say, we have digital money already.
Yeah, we do.
We use our debit card and everything else.
It's similar to that, except every dollar in your account, your account will be with the Fed, the Federal Reserve.
Every bit of that will now, they'll never have to ask the bank for any information on you.
Okay.
All the transactions that you make, everything,
taxes should be immediately deducted.
There's no, it should kill the tax industry,
but they'll have complete control and they'll know what you're buying.
Here's where the ESG score comes in.
Unlike welfare, which everybody's rule is the same, you can't have
champagne and lobster.
This is different.
Depending on your ecological score, your social justice score, for instance, I can guarantee you, if you are a parent that is speaking out against the,
let's say you're speaking out in favor of Ron DeSantis
and his
parental rights legislation, which is being called the what, don't say gay bill, if you're speaking out
in favor of that,
you will get a low S score,
which will then, depending on where the limits are, will then tell you, well, you can no longer buy things at this store.
You can no longer, you know, Disney is not allowing anybody who has that low of a score to come in
because you're a reputational risk.
We can't have you here.
We don't want you here.
You can't buy our products.
You know,
the little polo pony is on our shirt.
We don't want you wearing it.
Okay.
And
it will start dismissing you.
It's exactly what is in China.
Okay.
Anybody who says it can't happen here, you're lying to yourself.
Okay.
Wake up.
The world is different.
This has to happen, according to the think tanks in all of our financial industry.
It has to happen because of modern monetary theory, because we're just printing money.
The second half of that is they must have complete control of money, of labor, and individual spending habits.
So you may not be able to go across the country for
a family trip.
But if you're going across the country because you want to protest with BLM in Washington, D.C., of course, your card will work.
You can get gas.
You can get airplane tickets.
But January 6th, nope.
You, you, and you, you can't go
because we've seen what you're doing on social media.
This is, and here's the real difference between
not only the programmable, which means every dollar, every cent has your name and identity on it, and it reacts to your name.
You go into a store.
Sorry, your card doesn't work here.
It not only is programmable, but you didn't ask for it.
That's the big difference with welfare.
And with welfare, there's a way out.
If you don't like those rules, if you're in a situation where you just can't get out of it, you have to live with them.
But if you change somehow or another your way of life, either you get a job or you get married and you start making money and you pull yourself out, well, bank heist.
Yeah, bank heist.
Not necessarily.
You then,
unless you were doing it for BLM.
Right.
You actually get extra bonus points.
Then you can get out and you can buy anything you want again.
With ESG, you didn't ask for it.
Trust me.
Soon, soon, you will start hearing talk about
how this has gone unstable.
We need new stability, the value of the dollar, what's happening with Ukraine, what's happening with China.
We've got to change.
It will be good for you.
There will be bank holidays.
We're going to change to this new Fed digital dollar.
It's not going to change your life at all.
It's just like you're using a debit card now.
It's going to be run the same way, except it won't be.
And you will, because of an emergency, have to take this Fed coin.
They will then tell you, we're going to trade your U.S.
dollars.
You got them in a bank.
Just transfer those over to the Fed bank.
We'll destroy the U.S.
dollar.
We'll give you 60 cents on every dollar that you have towards this new Fed coin.
They, in this emergency, I guarantee you, will reset the world's loans, the bank's loans.
They'll mark all that stuff down so they get relief, but you will not get relief.
Your loans will not be
lowered.
So
your question is,
I'm going to have this.
It will be the only currency that will be taken.
The only other option will be barter, but I can guarantee you that will be illegal.
Do I take that?
Most people will say, yeah, because it's no big deal until they have it.
And then they realize every time they disagree with the government, their their score goes down.
China.
So, are you going to
go along with it and just be a part of that?
And God forbid
takes over that system.
You're there.
All you have to do is inject that chip into you.
And if you've gone that far, this will be easier.
It's for your own good.
How far are you willing to go?
And if you don't take it,
what does that mean for your family?
What does it mean to have no ESG score?
You know who's not going to be bothered by this?
The Amish.
You know who won't be bothered by this?
The people who have already spit themselves out of the system and are already living in a community where, you know, Joe fixes cars and I just bring him some,
you know, I bring him some vegetables that I grow in my garden and we just swap.
That is the way, I think that's going to be frowned upon and possibly illegal as well.
But what do you do?
Do you get to a point to where you're like, hey, I fix cars and I don't take the Fed coin, but if somebody wants their car fixed, if they leave it on this corner on Mondays, I'll come by and pick it up, just leave some meat.
in the back seat for me.
I mean, is that what we get to?
I don't know.
I don't know.
But every one of us are going to have to ask this question.
And as crazy as it now sounds, it will not sound crazy when we come to it.
I take that back.
It will sound crazy for everyone who hasn't heard the warning in advance.
If you didn't hear the warning in advance, there will be a perfectly good reason.
And most likely it will have to do with this war and with what's happening with China and Russia and Saudi Arabia and the price of oil.
And it will disrupt our dollar and we will have to do something immediately.
And most people will be so freaked out, it will happen so fast, they'll just go along with it.
That's when it won't sound crazy to you.
Dismiss this warning.
at your own risk because you won't have time to think about it when it comes.
If it never comes,
praise be to God
that I am wrong.
But I am telling you,
it is coming faster than you hope
and hopefully with
more time than I think.
You're listening to the best of the Glendeck program.
I am surrounded by a new family of people who have their life back because of Relief Factor.
I'm one of them.
I was
in pain and got to the point to where I just couldn't do it anymore.
Anybody else feel like, you know, I just can't get up another day?
We have our life back because of Relief Relief Factor.
It's not a television commercial.
It's a group of real people with real results that had real pain.
Try it yourself, Relief Factor.
This guy when he started, completely bald.
Look at him now.
Doesn't do anything for your hair,
but it will help you.
Get out of pain.
Give it a shot.
Try the three-week quick start.
Doesn't work, move on.
But we're here to tell you, it works.
ReliefFactor.com.
Christopher Bedford, the founding partner of Wright Forge, which if we have time, I want to talk to you about.
Give, send, go.
Sure, made a huge mistake by not being a partner with you.
You're also the senior editor of The Federalist.
And I wanted to bring him in because
he has an article out two years after lockdowns.
The West Troubles Aren't Ending.
They are just beginning.
So, by the way, welcome.
A great article.
Thank you.
Lay it out.
Thank you.
Thanks for having me.
Looking at this COVID, the end of COVID policies are kind of happening right now.
People are feeling springtime is here.
It's a return to normalcy.
The masks are finally going off the children.
This morning, the masks went off kids in D.C.
public schools for the first time.
And people have
this reaction to saying
we can move on.
But I don't think that COVID, this is the end of an era.
I think this is just the beginning of an era that we're entering to in the West.
We've just made a massive, over the last two years, we have changed our relationships with every single major aspect of our society.
Our churches we have a different relationship with because a lot of them were closed for periods of time.
They know
secular.
Yeah, a lot of people fell away and never returned.
About 20%, I think, less seats in the pews right now because people who used people who told you the sacraments are essential to eternal life or just said, don't worry, you might get sick.
That's a break in faith.
Our relationships with the teachers are completely different when they were.
The parents are now under the boot of teachers.
They are in charge.
Parents weren't even allowed into their schools to check on their kids or make an appointment for years.
Our relationship with the politicians are completely different.
They now, and the bureaucrats, they make the rules.
We just answer them.
We're all in this together.
You're selfish to say otherwise.
Our relationship even with the police, if you're in a place like New York City or California, where police officers who are already under assault all over the country now have to come in and arrest people with their children for dining out.
Our relationships even with healthcare workers, someone who always thought, well, these folks are on our side.
Now they're saying a husband who's dying of COVID can't be with his wife who's dying of COVID.
They have to die alone.
You can't see your parents when they're dying.
You can't visit someone who's got terminal cancer or hold your baby after you have one because somebody might get COVID.
The entire West's interactions with our society have completely, fundamentally altered.
And now everyone just wants to move on.
But this is when I think when historians look at this, just the way they used to look at Black Tuesday was the kickoff, the stock market crash and the Dust Bowl and eventually World War II.
They're going to look back and say COVID was a kickoff, the lockdowns, not the disease, the human reaction, to a kickoff to the stagflation we're risking, these wildly fluctuating fuel prices, a land war in Europe.
This is going to be the beginning of what defines a pretty dark era for the American people.
We need to wrap our heads around it if we're going to.
It means that this is going to be a very, very trying time.
And in what way?
For the American people, because we're going to be pushed into all kinds of different policy decisions.
Like you talk about all the time, the Great Reset at a time when what's made the American regime possible for all these years is a thriving middle class,
Christian beliefs and strong church attendance,
civil and civic institutions that keep us going.
And every one of those things has been weakened.
And entrepreneurship.
And entrepreneurship.
And small business.
The people who were absolutely wiped out.
One of my co-founders at Wright Forge had a thriving catering company company and event space down in Washington, D.C., doing over a thousand events.
He ended up staying with me for a period of time during COVID because he lost everything.
And fortunately, he's been able to hire most of those employees back for RiteForge.
But the entrepreneur class was smashed.
Now, if we're going to enter this era where people, the elites are trying to say, we're doing a big reset.
We're changing this world.
We're going to make it in our image.
And we lack the civic institutions, the middle class, the economy to really push back, then we're in trouble.
And I got news to you, electing a bunch of Republicans, which is going to happen in a year.
And D.C.
is not going to fix it.
Not going to fix it.
It needs to be local.
Actually, talking to Ricky yesterday kind of blew my mind.
Producer of TV.
Go ahead.
Sorry.
Yeah, that's all right.
Talking to Ricky yesterday blew my mind because he said, you know, two years ago, no one knew the name of the county judge in Dallas.
No one was paying attention to the local politicians.
San Francisco couldn't name their school board.
Loudoun County couldn't name their school board.
So if there's going to be a revival, which we really do need in a spiritual and a political sense, the local politics of it are what's going to drive it.
People seizing that.
I was talking to a pastor just this weekend, and he said, I've just disconnected.
I don't know what's going on in the world.
I'm just kind of focusing on my thing.
And I'm like, pastor, you better wake up because things are happening, and they're on your doorstep, and your people
are going to need to know,
how do I weather this?
How do I weather this?
If you are not, as a pastor, speaking out right now, it's why your pews are becoming more and more empty, quite honestly.
You didn't have enough to offer to be able to have people understand through a biblical sense what they're seeing with their own eyes.
When you see the American great revivals that we've had and we're famous for, those weren't pastors who simply opened up the church doors and said, I hope someone comes in.
They were people who rode on horseback and in carriage thousands and thousands of miles up and down the eastern seaboard, talking and preaching two, three times a day to thousands and thousands of people, having a reach that a lot of modern folks would be amazed at their reach, and they did it just by who could hear their voice.
So we need exactly what you're talking about.
Priests and pastors can't just open the doors and say, I hope you come in.
We need to go out.
We're engaged in spiritual warfare right now on the technological level, political level.
And
our people need to understand that
our religious leaders don't serve governors and mayors.
They are princes of the church.
They should address each other as equals, not as servants, and go out there and realize that they're the people who saved this country.
You know, I've mentioned this a couple of times today because I think it's worth saying.
Was it the grand leadership of any politician in the world, let alone ours,
that got Nike and Adidas and
Pornhub and all of these gigantic corporations to pull out of Russia?
No, it wasn't our politicians.
It wasn't a government.
It was the great reset.
It is these corporations who have now put us in a situation to where we're on the edge with Russia, and the American people or its representatives haven't really even spoken yet.
And it's a little concerning that we are just going along for the ride and we're not recognizing that we're in the backseat.
I wonder what we could do to make Pornhub pull out of the United States.
I would like that policy.
exactly, I think this is part of some of what we've gone through in the last two years with COVID, where this whole disinformation, this censorship, this shutting you down, this deplatforming you, became almost normal.
Don't worry, it's for the good of us all.
It's for health.
The doctors are in charge.
That switched pretty seamlessly to seeing people, Republican senators
or daytime talk show hosts on The View calling for the investigation and imprisonment of those who say, hold on a second.
Why am I fighting Putin right now?
I understand what's going on is awful over there, but why is this an American war?
And you see all these folks kind of coming out and just saying, we need to do a no-fly zone.
And that sounds nice.
It sounds nice.
It does.
It sounds like World War III.
It sounds like World War III.
It's not a humanitarian action.
That's called putting jets in the air with Russian jets at the same time in a way that they're going to fight.
And that's how they get their foot in the door
for the war that a lot of folks want.
You know, it's really disturbing to see, like you said, Tulsi Gabbard is called a tool for just for questioning.
Just for questioning.
She's now a tool for the Russian state and should be investigated.
Tucker Carlson should be investigated and possibly face prison time.
Russell Brand, they're now coming after him as well.
If we don't stop this
destroying any idea of freedom of speech and
toleration of another opinion, we don't make it very long.
And that's part of what COVID did.
That's what the lockdowns did.
It's disinformation.
That's such a freaky word.
It's just like that phrase, you're on the wrong side of history.
It dehumanizes your opponents.
It makes you on the right side.
So, but we have said this.
We have many of the things that people who said, you know, that's disinformation turned out to be right.
COVID is over.
The masks.
Yeah, and what's his name, Fauci?
I mean, I think he's in the FBI witness protection program at this point.
I haven't seen him at all.
And it's hard to keep him away from a camera.
It's really hard.
So we have this.
People know it,
but nobody's standing up.
Why?
Why is there this disconnect from what people know
and
standing up?
It seems to only have happened at the schools, really.
The schools, I think, and I hope that that's the beginning of something that's broader because it's getting these folks who are involved.
I was really hopeful that the Tea Party was going to lead to more local involvement, but it seemed like after some of the big great rallies we had, the prayer rallies that you had, that a lot of it kind of faded away.
People went back because it was comfortable.
But the left has made things so uncomfortable for the last two years.
I'm hoping that folks do get involved.
And I'm really hopeful of the Supreme Court ruling on Roe v.
Wade or on abortion because that is going to put it back politics to a local level.
It will.
That's going to make people, it suddenly really matters who your state representative is because that decides whether or not there's baby sacrifice in your state or not.
The left and right will be
reinvigorated.
And this whole kind of just national news cycle that we live on, people will start to realize it's actually my town meetings that matter.
It's my state meetings that matter.
That's what drives this country.
That's what built this country.
But at the same time, we have big tech.
They're not going to take their foot off of our throats.
Amazon Web Service is shutting down internet servers for Donald Trump
right after the riots.
They're going to keep on trying to censor and putting this down.
So that's what we're doing with Rightforge.
If you guys do with the Blaze, this is trying to build that alternative because we can't rely on the corporate.
So tell people about RightForge if they don't know, because I think this would have been the answer for give, send, go.
And I think they were with you for a while and then dropped out.
And
we worked together for a few days, and they were great folks, but they ended up going in a different direction from ours, and then they were hacked shortly after.
Because those hackers are out there trying to destroy you, whether you're Texas Right to Life, hackers attacking them, the anonymous group of hackers.
What we do is we build internet servers.
The libertarians have always said in DC, if you don't like it, go build your own.
But a lot of them didn't actually mean that because they're actually working with big tech.
So we went out, Parlor went out and they built their own alternative to Twitter.
And then the powers that be just decided that they were going to destroy them for completely spurious reasons.
The New York Times and CNN would just cheer it on like it was a victory for free speech over disinformation.
And the American Dream was just shot in public, the idea that if you don't like something, do it better.
So we started an internet server company because suddenly the infrastructure that the websites are built on has become a politicized war zone.
Now we're just trying to make one that is a Bill of Rights internet infrastructure.
It's just
American infrastructure.
I don't care what your politics are.
I want you to be free to express them, what your business is.
People should be able to be free to express themselves as we are in this country.
The laws that govern what we say and do should be made by the people's representatives, not by the terms of your user agreement in Silicon Valley.
You know, what you have done would have been championed by the libertarian and by
the left, even I bet, more so than the right 25 years ago.
It's been such a shift.
It's such a crazy shift, you know, and it's put everybody, you know, if you're if you're at all awake, puts you in a situation where thinking people are finding themselves in the room and allies with people that the rest of the world said you should hate.
Yeah.
You know, it's weird.
Glenn Greenwald and Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, and Glenn Beck walk into a room together.
Yes.
I wouldn't have believed that five years ago, but now it's all happening.
It is crazy.
It is really crazy.
Thank you so much for everything that you're doing.

You guys are doing extremely important work right now.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I read it every day.
