Friday show coming up.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together.

It's the corner surviving.

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 Glenback program.

Hello, America.

It's It's Friday.

We're glad you're here.

I don't know about you, but I was really impressed with the sanctions package yesterday.

Oh, my gosh.

This is going to cripple Putin.

I mean,

I mean,

assuming somebody's going to throw him down a flight of stairs as well.

Otherwise, this is not really going to hurt Putin at all.

We are a laughing stock.

I've heard that they've blocked Putin from playing Ms.

Pac-Man in...

Yeah, not Pac-Man, not regularly.

Not regular Pac-Man in the United States.

No, no play, of course.

But Ms.

Pac-Man in Africa.

And they're taking away his buy one Burger King sandwich and get the second one free.

They've taken that coupon away.

Away?

Away, yeah.

From all participating locations?

Well, not all participating locations, just the ones in the Netherlands.

Okay.

Okay.

So.

Just the participating locations in the Netherlands.

In the Netherlands.

Okay, okay.

So that's pretty good.

It's

pretty strong stuff here.

War over yet?

After that?

No.

Well, nobody expected it to be.

Nobody expected it.

They're not supposed to do anything.

No.

These sanctions are not supposed to be.

No, no, no, no.

We were, I mean, yes, they're a deterrent, but nobody...

Nobody really thought

they would deter it.

That's ridiculous.

You're an idiot if you think the deterrents would deter it.

Thank you.

My gosh, thank you.

And by the way, I saw a guy homeless.

He was out in front of the studios here.

And I don't want you to think that I'm uncaring or anything.

He was bleeding to death.

He had a puncture somewhere like at his jugular.

Oh, wow.

I handed him a band-aid and I said, Don't worry, let's try this for a month or so, and I'll come back and see how it's working.

Oh, okay.

So, in a month, if he's still bleeding,

don't stop it right away.

Exactly right.

Nobody would expect that to work.

Anyway, American Financing,

I would like you to refi your mortgage and get a lower rate.

It's an opportunity to access home equity, fund home improvements, maybe pay off some high interest debt before those rates rise.

And they are going to rise.

We are going to need,

Lord, help us.

We are going to need every dime we have.

Only mortgage lender I have ever recommended are the salary-based mortgage consultants that are in it for you, not the bank.

It's American Financing.

Man,

those sanctions, we are really just...

hammering them.

By the way,

here is the White House Deputy National Security Advisor

talking to a Reuters reporter.

Cut four, please.

Targeting the Russian energy industry is totally off the table.

Is that what you're saying, Dale?

What I'm saying is that our measures were not designed to disrupt in any way the current flow of energy from Russia to the world.

Now,

we have also said we are going to cut off Russia's access to cutting-edge technology.

That technology can be used across many sectors.

And so, as it relates to Russia's long-term productive capacity, we are seeking to degrade that capacity, but nothing in the short term as it relates to energy.

Okay, good.

So

really, Russia makes all of its money with oil.

Oil and wheat.

So

we're not going to disrupt them when it comes to oil.

We don't want to do that.

We don't want to do that.

In fact, the United States imports now about 22,000, 23

million barrels of oil a month

from Russia.

Now, here's the good news.

We've increased it by 623,000 barrels last week.

So we're buying even more oil.

from Russia to be able to have oil here in the United States.

And we don't want to do anything that would disrupt their flow of oil.

But boy, we're going to hit them hard.

We are going to hit them hard.

We're going to hit them in the financial sector.

Now, we're still going to let them do international banking and transfers and everything with SWIFT.

I mean, we don't want to do that.

These sanctions, these sanctions here in the United States that we seem to be taking all by ourselves, they are really,

really gonna hurt them.

I mean, not in the energy sector again.

And we're not targeting Putin.

We wouldn't want to do that.

I mean, he's the guy responsible, but do you really want to cut him off?

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't cut him off.

He'd have a hard time making his rent payments.

You know, he might have a hard time just buying a new suit.

I mean, the guy needs new suits.

You know what I mean?

Don't cut him off.

Let's cut off some other unnamed people.

Well, if you sanctioned Vladimir Putin, they might return the favor and sanction the Biden family, who does a lot of international traveling, I've heard.

Yeah.

Well, we can't confirm any of that.

No.

No,

the Secret Service just lost about three years of their travel records.

Oh, darn it.

Yeah.

And it's weird.

They were the three years we were looking for.

The exact three.

The exact three where all of this suspicious travel was happening with Russia and Ukraine and stuff.

They can't find it.

When will the poor luck end?

I don't know.

It should continue.

I know.

I don't.

I don't know.

But here's some good news.

We are on all of the things that you care about.

Now, remember, we're not going to cut off the oil from Russia.

No, we're not going to do that.

But this is going to cost you.

You're going to start feeling some pain here.

But because standing for our principles sometimes hurts.

Oh my gosh.

Thank you, Joe Biden, for telling us that.

I know, I feel so much better

that

Vladimir Putin's not going to hurt, but the American people are going to hurt because you're standing, quote, for our principles.

No, it makes me feel much, much better.

And what are our principles?

Well, they have them in the right order.

Here is John Kerry

two days ago on Ukraine.

Cut one.

I'm very concerned about,

I'm concerned about Ukraine because of the people of Ukraine and because of the principles that are at risk

in terms of international law

and trying to change boundaries of international law by force.

I thought we lived in a world that had said no to that kind of activity.

Me too.

And I hope diplomacy will win.

But massive emissions consequences to the war.

But equally importantly, you're going to lose people's focus.

You're going to lose certainly big country attention because they will be diverted.

And I think it could have a damaging impact.

So, you know, I think hopefully President Putin would realize that in the northern part of his country, they used to live on 66% of a nation that was over frozen land.

Now it's thawing.

Now that sounds terrible.

The infrastructure is at risk.

And the people structure is at risk.

And so, I hope President Putin will help us to stay on track with respect to what we need to do for the climate.

My goodness.

If global warming continues, some of his country might be livable.

Right.

Wow.

What a terrible outcome for Vladimir Putin.

He's putting his infrastructure at risk.

In 100 years, you don't know what's going to happen.

You just don't know what's going to happen.

So, there's another reason why I don't think we should be so harsh on Vladimir Putin, you know?

Oh, really?

And let's just give this some time, you know?

I mean, if I was over in Ukraine and,

you know, I heard tough sanctions were coming and

we're going to sock it to him.

Boy,

this will shake him to the core.

We're not going to affect any of his, you know, key industries

and we're not going to sanction him, but we're going to call him a couple of names and then we'll check back in a month.

I don't know about you, but as a Ukrainian, I would be like,

thank you, United States.

Seriously, thank you.

You were the one that really caused this with the, you know, the pipeline, and then you told us to shut up and we shouldn't say anything about the, you know, the opening up of the pipeline with Germany.

We were told, hey, don't wreck the United States relationship with Germany and Russia.

So sit down and shut up about it.

I think,

as a Ukrainian citizen, I would

love the United States.

Love them.

You know, Glenn, I've noticed a little bit of criticism

over John Kerry's comments.

Really?

Yeah.

People are saying that maybe he's prioritized the wrong thing when it comes to the climate over the ongoing crisis.

However, when you think about what the left has been saying for the past couple decades, the existential threat that is really putting us in danger is the climate.

It's more important than Islamic extremism.

It's more important than a Russia that is expansionist.

It's more important than China.

It's more important than all of these things.

So why wouldn't he say that?

Wouldn't it be inconsistent for him not to blather on about the climate in the middle of this crisis?

No, you're right.

You're right.

This is who he is.

This is what they believe.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

And you know what?

I like the compassion that so many people have.

For instance,

oh my gosh, this one, this one, you are going to be,

I think, very upset.

I don't know if you're going to be able to continue on with the show today.

Oh, no.

Yeah, I'm a little concerned about me as well.

Here's Joy Behar yesterday

on Ukraine.

Estimates are 50,000 Ukrainians will be dead or wounded and that this is going to start a humanitarian crisis, a refugee crisis in Europe.

We're talking about five million people that are going to be displaced.

Yeah, five million people.

It's heartbreaking to hear what is going to happen.

I'm scared of what's going to happen in Western Europe, too.

Yeah.

You know, you just plan a trip, you want to go there.

I want to go to Italy for four years.

I haven't been able to make it because

of the pandemic.

And now this, you know, it's like, who's going to, what's going to happen there?

Yeah.

Oh, my.

No.

No.

No, I told you.

I tried to prepare you for that.

No, you can't just.

No, 5 million displaced.

Yeah, whatever.

50,000.

Shut up.

The last part, though.

The dead?

No, no, no, no.

The displaced.

After that,

I don't know what else is.

Joy wants to go to Italy.

Well, yeah, of course she does.

And she can't go.

She can't go.

What happens if

a global war breaks out and she can't go?

She's been trying to get there for four years.

Four years.

So long before the pandemic started.

These people are despicable.

Just despicable.

She wants to go to.

She's worried about her Italian vacation.

I mean, when you hear,

when you hear the

compassion of one of them saying, you know, and there's 50,000 displaced, and it just breaks your heart,

the human toll that this is taking.

And then she just follows it up.

I mean, we have to play it again.

I know.

It's terrible.

I mean, you plan a vacation, you know, to go to Italy.

And, you know, first there's COVID.

And I've wanted to go for four years.

And now this, what's going to happen next?

My gosh, I don't know, Joy.

I don't know.

Well, I've been importing slave children from the region.

And my orders are all

on back order now.

If there's a supply chain issue with all the slave children, I've been trying to import from the region.

Can you imagine?

No, the slave children being held up.

I bought some slave children from Joy.

You know, this is unbelievable.

It is crazy.

And again, it's completely consistent with who these people are, with who Joy Behar is.

Completely consistent.

As Pat Gray notes,

the most inappropriately named person

in American history, Joy Behar.

Yeah, I hope she gets her vacation vacation in.

I hope so.

I want her to have joy.

Before,

think about what she's saying.

What's going to happen next?

Is she going to be able to go before

there's World War III

and Italy is destroyed?

It's like an episode of 24.

You're racing against the clock.

I know.

Will the world explode before she gets her vacation?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'm very nervous about it, though.

We just live.

We're living in a parallel universe.

There is nothing about what I see on TV and what I see these people say that is connected to a reality that I understand at all.

I mean, seriously, tough, tough sanctions.

I mean, except for oil.

And Vladimir Putin himself.

Like,

we are going to buy, we buy, what, 7% of our oil from Russia.

We're going to put it to 7.5, 8 now.

Europe is still buying the same amount of gas or more than they did last week.

Vladimir Putin is not sanctioned.

I mean, in theory, Vladimir Putin could go on a vacation right now to Italy and not be sanctioned.

They'd welcome him with open arms.

He would probably go to, I mean, he's wanted to go to Italy for a while.

Yeah.

And he's probably thinking, you know, maybe Italy, I'll hold off on a bit, but I should go see Poland.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

It might not be there.

It might not be there you know you might you might see some changes in some buildings some of those old historic buildings may be knocked down by a tank or two soon so uh god bless joy behar all right let me uh tell you about our sponsor this half hour it's relief factory uh relief factor bill wrote in he said prior to starting relief factor i almost always had pain in my knees and my legs and my shoulder but after a day or two of taking relief factor the pain started disappearing so far it hasn't returned.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Relief Factor.

Bill, I'm glad it's helping.

The doctors put together a recipe of four different ingredients that attack our body's inflammation from four different directions.

That's why it works for so many people.

And it helps your body fight the effects of aging, exercise, and everyday living.

Now think of that.

Does that work for you, Stu?

Does that tell you anything?

Listen to that.

It helps your body fight against the effects of aging,

exercise,

and daily living.

Exercise is evil.

Right?

It's like a condition.

It helps your body recover from crack smoking, falling off of roofs, and exercise.

Feel the difference.

10 seconds station ID.

Man,

a tactical nuke went off.

Millions are dead in Detroit today.

And Stu, I know you've been trying to get a GM car for a while.

I don't know how that's going to affect you.

It's incredible.

Yeah.

You know, I mean, you order your car, you wait six months, and then somebody goes and nukes the city.

I mean, what are you going to do for your car?

I mean,

how long are you going to wait now?

And what will that nuke do to the climate?

All the important questions and concerns.

Oh, my God.

Can you believe?

You know, this is the biggest problem here.

I've heard some people say, like, I can't get interested in this.

I mean, Ukraine and Russia, I mean, it's way on the other side of the world.

I don't care about it.

And I can understand

that instinct.

Like, you know, it's, we've had enough problems of our own.

I get it.

However, with these people in control, with these people having influence on the outcome of these events, it is definitely, it's a non-zero chance that we all blow up because of this stupid thing.

If there is a non-zero chance that somebody winds up doing something stupid, their side are ours, which winds up in a chain reaction that launches another world war.

And then forget the freaking pandemic and what it did to our economy and what it did to lives.

Imagine what that would do today.

Well, the good news is Biden did say after the speech that if

Putin doesn't get his fourth booster,

he's going to be labeled a terrorist.

Did you see, by the way, I was laughing at all, you know, look, all these war reporters are doing things that are brave and I would never do.

Yeah.

But, like, I keep seeing them in these like subway,

you know, cutouts.

You know, they're down there.

They're in the subway station.

There's hundreds and hundreds of refugees.

None of them wearing masks.

The reporters aren't wearing masks.

We saw this one lady who's like, I can't, there's only a 35% vaccination rate in Ukraine.

What's going to happen with COVID?

That's what she was not saying.

Yeah,

that was a very viral tweet yesterday.

People were mocking it appropriately.

But the bottom line is like, do these things go away?

I mean, like,

they don't seem to care about any of this stuff

when it matters, right?

When it's, it's not just, you know, you're not, you're not, uh, you're not virtue signaling about it.

Obviously, you shouldn't care about that type of thing at that point, but it is amazing how things change.

I mean, the pandemic just changed.

It's just gone.

This is gone.

Yeah, as will the Western Way of Life.

And our climate.

Yeah.

Putin apparently got together with

President Ping

over in China.

And Jeda.

Don't you miss that?

I mean, I miss just that.

I miss saying China.

Jeda.

I miss that.

I can't say the word China without thinking, Jed.

Anyway, apparently Putin...

China.

Putin and China got together.

And

maybe that's why our president, you know, when asked, hey, have you consulted with Jeddah yet?

And he's like,

I don't care to comment on that.

Yeah.

What, they're not taking your call?

They're too busy on the phone with Putin.

Boy, this is going to work out well.

Thank you, Joe Biden.

And thank you to everyone who wanted to see a return to normalcy.

Thank you.

Good job.

The Glenn Back program.

All right, Car Shield.

Plenty to be stressed out about.

Who writes this copy?

Why?

Like, what?

Oh, Stu not getting his car because they nuked Detroit.

And the climate.

Yeah, and Joy Behar not getting a vacation.

Anyway, if your car breaks down, what are you going to do?

What are you going to do?

You're going to wait for chips to come from Jed?

How much is it going to cost you to repair your car, especially if it is one of those chips?

What is it going to cost you just in a rental car while yours is in the shop?

I love my cars.

I love my trucks.

I'm not looking to replace them.

I don't want to replace them.

They don't have coverage anymore.

The warranty is out.

All right, so what do I do?

I get coverage just like I get, you know, insurance for bad things happening to me, like cancer.

Hello, Pat.

Hello, Glenn.

Oh,

my gosh.

Hey, good to see you.

Good to see you.

Yeah.

Hey, I've been weeping most of the morning, though.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no.

You didn't hear.

I did.

Oh, my gosh.

We wept openly.

As men, we broke down and we wept openly, all of us in the studio.

I had a picture of our show.

Yeah.

I heard the news from you.

When I heard that the fourth year in a row,

Joy Behar may not be able to go to Italy.

It was too much.

It was, you know.

She's had a tough fourth year.

First of all, it was a pandemic.

Yeah.

And now, you know, if I don't get to Italy

every third weekend or so.

Yeah.

You're right.

I get out of sorts.

Yeah.

So four straight years, can you imagine?

I can imagine.

Play the audio, the stunning, stunning, sad audio from Joy Behar yesterday.

Well, I'm scared of what's going to happen in Western Europe, too.

Yeah.

You know, you just, you plan a trip, you want to go there.

I want to go to Italy for four years.

I haven't been able to make it because of

the pandemic.

And now this, you know, it's like, who's going to, what's going to happen there?

Yeah.

It's a gut punch.

It is the gut.

Listen, nobody calls her out on the set.

They're all like, yeah.

Wouldn't you, if you were having that conversation with somebody, wouldn't you go,

are you drunk?

Yeah, I mean, did you just hear 50,000 people are going to be dead?

They worried about your vacation plans.

Yeah.

And they do, to be fair, they know she's drunk.

I mean,

every day.

So they don't hit them.

Maybe they don't like, are you sober?

Are you sober, Joy?

What is happening to you?

So embarrassing.

You know, these people are killers.

They really are.

No, no, no.

Joy?

I mean, she's a killer of joy, but

listen.

I mean, generally speaking, the people who are this

crazy,

John Kerry,

he really is concerned about

this war

because of how

it will affect global warming.

Not his own private chat.

He's not concerned about that.

No, no.

We're not talking about people who see

people and individuals.

He's willing.

Forget about those people.

What about global warming?

Forget about those people.

What about my vacation?

That's sociopathic behavior.

It is.

Yeah.

Terry's defense, though.

He did bring up a great point about northern Russia.

And the fact that 66% of the soil is frozen and now it's starting to thaw.

And you don't want that because you might be able to grow extra food.

And then somebody might poison those foon stocks.

Those food.

Foon stocks.

Since when is it bad if the soil thaws?

I mean, would that be a terrible thing?

Yeah, and like they care in Russia that.

Oh, it's not frozen anymore.

Like, maybe you argue that it's going to get warmer somewhere else.

But like, I don't think Russia cares.

Like, I think.

They're pretty excited about this idea of thawing soil.

Right.

So, there's very little use as long as it doesn't affect the average farmer's ability to get to Italy.

Right.

Well, yes, obviously.

You know, that's the most important thing.

In a private jet, yeah.

We have to save the climate effects of this war so that we can make sure we continue to fly on our private jets to Italy.

If we can only do that,

can I ask you?

Um,

has the world ever been this confusing?

Ever?

I don't think so.

I mean, I don't understand

anything that is going on.

We're buying oil from Russia.

We upped our order of oil by 623,000 barrels of oil from Russia here to the United States last week.

We say we're going to put

sanctions on Russia and really cripple them.

You want to cripple them?

You stop the ability of Russia being able to sell oil.

And at the same time, what are we doing?

We're making a deal with Iran so maybe Iranian oil can get out and ease the suffering.

Turn the oil pipeline on.

Start fracking.

What the hell is wrong with?

I think I said yesterday, I don't think we understand Vladimir Putin's real motivation.

I don't think he's crazy.

Do you think he's crazy?

No.

Do you think he's crazy?

I mean, no, no, no.

I mean, he's a psychopathic killer.

Right, yes.

Okay.

He's Joey Beho.

He's logically getting to that goal, though.

Correct.

He's using logic and planning and old, calculated nature to get himself to those goals.

It's not that Osama bin Laden was crazy.

We just didn't understand, nor can we think like him.

Okay.

That's Vladimir Putin.

And I don't understand his motivations.

And without understanding his motivations, you can't fight him.

Okay.

Honestly, what are the motivations?

Is Biden senile

or does he have a different agenda?

Yes.

And yes.

Right?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

I mean,

you can't be this wrong all the time.

It's been a long time every single time he's wrong.

Yeah.

And they still spin it as if

they're doing the best job that's ever been done.

No mistakes have been made.

Right.

Remember, Afghanistan, he couldn't even admit a mistake in Afghanistan.

That's incredible.

And there's this, this is kind of, Jim Garity wrote about this this week, the concept of mirroring when you're talking about foreign affairs, where like you just assume the person you're dealing with has the same sort of motivations, generally speaking, as we do.

And that's completely insane when you're dealing with Kim Jong-un or President Xi or Vladimir Putin or Biden and the Biden administration.

I mean, honestly, guys,

you cannot be this wrong all the time.

How is it we didn't say,

let me play this, please play Cut 13.

As we respond, my administration is using the tools, every tool at its disposal, to protect American families and businesses from rising prices at the gas pump.

You know, we're taking active steps to bring down the cost, and American oil and gas companies should not, should not exploit this moment to hike their prices to raise profits.

You know, in our sanctions package, we specifically designed to allow energy payments to continue.

We are closely monitoring energy supplies for any disruption.

Did you just hear what he said?

In our sanctions, we clearly made a path for, what did he say?

Play it again.

Listen to what he says about the sanctions.

We're taking active steps to bring down the cost, and American oil and gas companies should not, should not exploit this marriage

to hike their prices to raise profits.

You know, in our sanctions package, we specifically designed to allow energy payments to continue.

Stop.

We allow energy payments to continue.

We are still writing checks for Russian oil.

In our sanctions,

we made sure that we could continue to write checks to Russian oil.

So don't you dare American companies raise your prices on gas.

That's insane.

That's insane.

It is.

Nobody even noticed that.

I haven't heard anybody notice that.

Anybody comment on that?

Incredible.

Before Biden, I'm pretty sure we were getting zero oil from Russia.

We had eliminated

imports from Russia and Venezuela and all the bad actors in the world.

We were

energy independent and we were exporters for the first time in a really long time.

I mean, it's only been recently that we started exporting oil again.

I think it was the 50s the last time that that happened.

And it was because of Trump's policies.

He was oil-friendly.

Let's use our own research.

Did you see Mark Andreessen, what he said?

No.

Yesterday, Mark Andreessen came out and he said

we should be planning, I think he said like 200 nuke facilities in the United States.

Yeah, he said right now.

I think he said a thousand nuclear plants need to be built worldwide.

Yeah.

We should be building right now.

Yes.

And he's right.

But we should.

Yeah, we won't.

We won't.

And why won't we?

Why won't we?

Because of the environmentalists.

Why is it the left?

Why is it everything has to be crippled here?

Why would we ever, ever make a deal with Iran so Iran could sell oil on the open market?

I mean, even if you believe that, you know, all of the fossil fuels have to stop right now, okay?

They have to stop.

You're the president of the United States of America.

We have the ability to be a mass exporter, but you're willing to make a deal with a terrorist state

and you're willing to pay Putin for his oil.

Wait a minute.

The oil is going to go out anyway.

The oil is going out.

It's going to be burnt.

We would rather do business with a terrorist state and Vladimir Putin than open the spigot up here in America.

How is that the president of the United States?

How is that a guy looking out for the average American, for the American way of life?

You're putting more money into the hands of people who are now saying to you, yeah, Poland's next.

They're saying that to you.

And if not, they're saying, we have to destroy the great Satan.

Incredible.

Especially on the heels of this, where

energy payments from Europe and us as well, but largely Europe, have funded a rainy day fund for Vladimir Putin and all of his oligarchs to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars so that our sanctions won't do anything in this moment.

So now we're going to create another regime where we're going to fund billions and billions of dollars

and have all that money go to them so that when they decide to start their next crisis, they're shielded as well.

And may I just say, I hope and pray I'm not inconvenienced further by having to detour my plans to go to Taipei, Taiwan,

because China sees what's going on in Russia and then takes that bold move to take back Taiwan.

You have the timeshare there.

I have the timeshare.

And if I can't use it this year, I'm going to be

very put out.

You haven't been able to use use it since 2019.

Right.

That was the last time I was in Taipei.

And you're still paying those maintenance fees.

Yes.

Every year.

Every year.

Every year.

The suffering

just continues.

It just doesn't stop.

Does not stop.

Well, thank you, Pat, for being here.

Thank you.

Thank you for understanding my pain.

I know.

I almost didn't come in today because of it.

I know I can be.

I'm so worried about my Taipei trip.

And congratulations on the bravery that you showed this morning on Pat Gray Unleashed when you openly wept.

Thank you for noticing that.

Many people might be embarrassed by something like that.

There is a man.

There's not enough.

There's not enough examples of weak and pathetic men in our society.

Isn't that the truth?

You know what I mean?

Right.

If we could just...

I'm a little offended by you calling me a man, as a matter of fact.

I thought you were going to say you were offended for being called weak and pathetic, but no.

No.

It was the man part.

No, it's a man part.

No.

It really bothered me.

Yeah, it really did.

The binary thinking there really pissed me off.

Well,

there's no salvaging you anyway because you're white.

Well, that's true.

So, and an American.

That's true.

Anyway, thank you so much, Pat.

Thank you.

Thank you for stopping by for some strange reason.

Let's tell you about something that needs to be in every person's home.

The Tuttle Twins book.

The siren song of leftism is strong, and there is no shortage of people amplifying it to be heard by everyone in this country.

You understand your children are just not adopting your values in a vacuum.

You know, when we were growing up as kids, the society was still, the culture was still somebody standing in line at the grocery store while you were being stupid.

And they go, aren't you,

aren't you Bill and Mary's kid?

Yes.

Yeah.

I don't think your folks would like to know what you're doing right now and you would behave because

we were all in it together and we all were were pretty much rowing in the same direction.

Now we're just hitting each other over the head with the oars.

And especially your kids getting hit over the head with a socialist oar every time they go to school.

You need to teach them the truth.

And kids are not going to learn these things through osmosis.

You know, why is a small government better than a big government?

Why is the free market better than socialism?

Hello and welcome to the Glen Beck program.

I don't understand what is happening with this pro-Putin

feeling that is going around with

so many people, so many conservatives, especially.

Putin is a monster, period.

He is a psychopathic killer, always has been.

He has raped and pillaged his own country.

He throws people off roofs if they report on him.

He kills his competitors.

He poisons people all around the world.

And he leaves the note that, yeah, Putin was here over the dead bodies.

He's a killer who is now violating every decent,

every decent Western value by going into a country and just taking it over.

Because he wants it.

Now, that doesn't mean we have to go to war,

but that

should tell you,

yeah, that's why I hate Vladimir Putin.

That's why we don't rally around Putin.

You don't have to like something that is psychopathic

just to

be, I guess, on the other side and say, I don't want to go to war.

I don't want to go to war.

I don't think we should go to war.

But at the same time,

Putin is a killer.

Let's not forget that.

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, I'm time to rise.

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

This is the Glenback program.

Hey, this is great.

This is good news.

Wheat prices are going through the roof.

A nine-year high just yesterday.

Russia is the third largest producer of grain.

Behind, quick.

Grain, who's a big grain producer?

Fed the world.

United States.

No, China.

Fed the world.

No.

Then India.

I mean what happened to us?

What happened to us?

We are killing our farmers now financially.

Wheat prices are going through a nine-year high,

and they say one of the traders up in Chicago, and I don't mean like trading the, I mean like one of the stock market.

Anyway,

said we don't know how high this is going to go, but it's gonna cause a lot of problems if this conflict continues.

Let's, you know what?

Let's just try what we're doing for a month and then check back in and see how our wheat prices are doing.

Oh, and have you bought a gallon of gas already?

Gas prices are going through the roof again.

We discuss that in 60 seconds.

Hello, it's me Vladimir and the Glenn Beck.

Have you heard of this guy?

He's a pebble in my shoe.

A real pain in the backside, you know what I'm saying?

Been trying to get rid of him for a long time now.

I put poison in his salad.

No good.

He doesn't touch salads.

I put a poison apple, put it on his desk.

Does he even look at apple?

Nietzsche, nothing.

I put live grenade in his workout clothes.

No dice.

I mean, it's harder to kill than moose and squirrel.

Thank goodness Putin doesn't know my secret to

health.

It's none of those things.

It's a built bar.

Now I know.

It's delicious and yet somehow good for you at the same time.

Have you tried their puffs yet?

If you haven't, you are missing out.

Puffs are the first ever protein infused marshmallow.

I need to keep a box of them here.

Because every time I talk about them, I'm like, oh man, I like banana and chocolate.

The banana and chocolate puff is unbelievable.

Come in a whole bunch of great flavors.

And just like Bilbard, they are low-calorie and high in protein.

Go to built.com, scroll through the chart.

You're going to be amazed at what they have and how good they are and how good for you they are.

Alrighty then.

We want to bring in Daniel Turner.

He is the founder and executive director of Power the Future.

And we're going to talk a little bit about the things that maybe we should be doing right now.

Daniel, welcome to the program.

Oh, it's great to be on with you, Glenn.

Thanks for having me.

You're welcome.

I don't know if you saw Mark Andreessen's tweet yesterday, but he said we should be building 1,000 nuclear plants all around the world starting today.

We're not going to do it, but there's a lot of logical things that we should be doing today.

One of them is get off our dependence of Russian oil.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

I mean, a lot of the problems that we're experiencing right now

have begun 14 months ago with the Biden administration.

And I'm not pinning the Ukraine invasion on him, but I am saying we've been tinkering.

This administration has been really punishing the America's energy industry,

specifically the fossil fuel industry, for months and months.

And when oil hit $70 a barrel and $80 a barrel, the White House was silent.

Well, now it's at $100, and Joe Biden's saying he wants to do something.

So it's a little bit too late.

You know, energy is one of those issues that people don't want to pay attention to until it starts to

pinch at the purse, right?

Yeah, exactly.

But, you know, we need serious energy policy and not Greta Thunberg, not John Kerry, right?

We need serious energy policy because it is national security as well.

I just, I keep hearing him say, we're going to tap into the strategic oil reserve.

Hang on just a second.

On one hand, people are talking about World War III and the biggest conflict possibly since World War II.

Oil was kind of important.

That's why we have the strategic oil reserve.

And so we're he's telling the West we should release more from our strategic oil reserve while we're facing this.

No, open a freaking pipeline.

Yeah.

Oil is so important to the world economy that even this administration has not sanctioned Russian oil.

Germany and Italy today bought more natural gas than they did yesterday from Russia.

In fact, Putin has increased the amount of natural gas exports because he knows he has Europe on the hook.

And he's using that to his leverage.

And so, look,

we have to stop being Plato.

There is this ideal world.

We all need to live up to it.

And we all need to be better.

But the reality is our economy, our military, the world runs on fossil fuels right now.

And whether or not we want to change that as one conversation, but the reality is punishing fossil fuels now in the hopes of a better tomorrow has made us weak now.

And Vladimir Putin is taking advantage of that weakness.

This is exactly what the great reset is about.

The ESG scores, energy

is the first thing.

And we are...

We're committing national suicide.

And it's not just national.

The entire West is committing suicide.

And I don't understand it.

And

is that hyperbole?

No,

not whatsoever.

And look, when this administration began and Joe Biden said,

which I believe is a flat-out falsehood, but when he said the generals tell him climate change is our biggest national security threat, I'm sorry, if anyone really said that to you in the military,

that person should be fired today.

And any politician, Republican or Democrat, this is not a partisan issue.

Many Republicans went to the Glasgow Climate Summit to learn how to tackle climate change.

We can have a conversation about the environment, but if you genuinely believe in your heart of hearts, looking at the global stage, that climate change is the biggest threat, then you do not deserve elected office.

You are a danger because Russia is a threat.

China is a threat.

Iran is a threat.

North Korea.

And these rook regimes, unfortunately, as the prices of oil have gone through the roof, have become richer.

And what does Iran do when they have more money?

They launch attacks on Israel and they launch attacks on the UAE and they fund their nuclear bombs program.

And what does Russia do when they have more money?

They build their army, right?

So again, it's

this fight against reality that you can have a conversation about the environment, but there are real threats and we need to put on our big boy pants and face the real world we live in.

Even if you believed that

climate change was

the existential threat and the largest threat against all of humanity, if you really truly believed that,

and you make the moves to stop American oil and everything else,

does that explain why

we are

not sanctioning the Russian oil?

We're increasing our imports of Russian oil, and we seem to be making it easy for Iran to flood the market with their oil.

I don't understand this.

Why wouldn't you go to America and just say, hey, it's temporary, but we're going to, we need you right now to relieve the pressure?

I don't understand it.

Do you know for the first time in nearly 40 years, America has been purchasing Iranian oil very quietly.

The administration clearly did not put out a press release.

But you say, why is America buying any oil from Russia?

I mean, Iran.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

When did that happen?

I've not heard that.

It started in April of this year, and we've purchased about a million barrels of oil from Iran.

Now, there's going to be an argument, and they're going to say I'm playing fast and loose with the nuance because we purchase a lot of oil from the world, and we refine it, particularly in the Gulf.

We have the world's largest refining capabilities.

Also, something China is trying to compete with us on, but that's another conversation.

But we are the world's largest refiner.

So this crude that comes out of the ground has to get refined.

So we buy Russian, we buy Venezuelan, but we don't need to buy any oil if we produced enough ourselves.

And we're not.

We're producing 2 million barrels fewer.

than we did just a few months ago before Biden became president.

And the reason why we're producing so much fewer oil is because this administration has made it impossible to produce.

You mentioned the ESG movement, where every agency is looking at climate change when it comes to permitting land access,

permits in the Gulf of Mexico, on federal land, fracking moratoriums, pipeline construction.

So all these cumulative actions have made production of oil domestically hard.

Of course we have to get it from somewhere else.

So why not Russia?

Why not Iran?

Why not Venezuela?

Why not put a bullet to our head?

Because that's what we're doing by enriching our enemies.

Let me ask you:

when Obama said that he was going to stop the drilling, I think it was in the Gulf, the deep sea drilling,

the concern was that if you stop that, you're not getting a lease on those deep-sea drills for another 20 years.

They're not coming back, and you just don't make them overnight.

With the damage that has been done just to the economy and to the oil and gas industry, Are we doing permanent damage or are these things just going into mothballs and we can turn this around quickly?

We can turn it around, but I don't think quickly.

This is a very capital and labor intensive industry.

And even if all of the permitting is in place and the government is a friend of the industry, which we want, like we saw under President Trump, it really took till the end of 2018, the beginning of 19, for the industry to produce as much as it was.

And so it did take two solid years of

believing that the government wasn't going to punish you.

You know, you look at something like Keystone, that was 10 years and a billion dollars in the making, and then the rug was pulled out from under it, and all that money is lost.

So who's going to invest in the oil and gas industry right now if you think the government can shut it down?

And that's one of my pet peeves, Glenn.

And you can hear my voice getting angry.

Oh, I know.

Jin Saki will say, well, you know, oil at $90 a barrel, you would think these rich fat cats would invest.

It's not that they don't want to invest.

It's that they know it's a risky investment because government is going to punish you.

Deb Holland, the Interior Secretary, is going to punish you.

The EPA administrator, Biden is talking about Fed nominees who look at banking issues through the lens of climate change.

So if you need a $50 million loan from the bank to finance this industry,

no, because the bank's not going to lend it to you because the Federal Reserve is going to raise your base points and penalize you.

So, again,

this administration is punishing the industry from every angle, and then they have the gall to say, well, they better not raise prices

to take advantage of this.

Like, it's our fault.

When Elizabeth Warren blamed big meat, remember that one?

Yeah.

She said, All the meat industries together.

Yeah.

I mean, it's just offensive.

I

will tell you,

I don't understand what's happening to us

unless the president and this administration and those on the left have an agenda that is clearly not in step with the traditional American.

I mean,

this is

self-inflicted wounds, and they're soon going to be mortal.

What are you thinking about the the gas and oil prices and

what's coming with this

war in Ukraine?

Yeah, it's down a little bit today, which is good news.

But I think overall, if this continues, and I don't think Putin is going to

stop until he has everything he wants in the Ukraine and maybe even more, you could easily see gas at $150 a barrel like it was in 2008.

You mean $125 by the end of March is very feasible.

And that means $6 and $7 gallon of gas.

But

you know, your audience knows there are millions, literally millions of products that are made from fossil fuels.

And so when the price of fertilizer goes up, when the price of pesticides go up, everything

goes up in price.

And so when you go to the store and you buy your chopped meat and it's expensive, it's the cow, the cow's diet, the transportation, the butcher, the slaughterhouse, the packaging, the plastic.

All of that stuff gets added onto your cost.

You're ultimately the one going to suffer.

And that's the frustration.

This administration, before Putin even launched his first incursion, this administration was willing to let the American people suffer because they are so eager for this green revolution, these renewables, that they had to punish fossil fuels.

They wanted fossil fuels to be the bad guy so that maybe you would go to the government and say, please, Mr.

Biden, please give us a Green New Deal, please give us a build-back better.

We can't afford this anymore.

And

that's the really sad thing.

They were willing to punish the American people for their agenda.

And that's not just un-American, unpatriotic.

Quite frankly, it's immoral and it's evil.

Yeah, I agree with you.

Daniel, thank you so much.

The founder and executive director of Power of the Future, Daniel Turner.

God bless.

We'll talk to you again.

You bet.

Let me tell you about American Financing.

American Financing, NMLS 1-8-2-3-3-4, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

So American financing right now, home values are up 17%,

and it could be even higher

in high-cost areas.

Now, we're also seeing mortgages start to slow down because the price of houses is so high, but also because it is becoming more and more expensive to buy a house just because of the interest rate.

The interest rate on things alone are going to be real problems.

And I think a carve out on interest rates where interest rates go up without the Fed, the banks and the

there's a carve out for people like you.

I could be wrong on this, but the government's not going to have a high interest rate.

They can't afford one.

So what are they going to do?

Stop inflation?

Well, they either have to control how you spend, modern monetary theory, or they have to find a way to get that money out of your hands.

Interest rates are going up even without the Fed raising them on the banks.

If you look at your credit card, how are you going to pay that off?

Please, right now, consider a refi of your home, your mortgage.

Look at a consolidation loan.

Get out of those high interest credit credit cards now.

You can skip up to two mortgage payments and close in as little as 10 days.

10 seconds, station ID.

I heard a general yesterday actually say, you know, when Putin said, we're going to face, if America interferes, we're going to face consequences we've never faced before in history.

And I heard a general come on television and say, I think he means a nuclear strike.

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Really?

That's what you think that might be?

Gosh, I hope nobody's listening to that, General.

I'm pretty sure what he was talking about was not a nuclear strike, but instead

an attack on our systems, an attack on our power grid, a cyber attack on our banking system,

on our oil delivery system.

I mean, there is

right now, cyber is at a place to where it is as devastating as any nuclear attack, and it can be fingerprintless.

We may not know for a while who did this to us.

Chris Stewart is going to come on with us here in just a minute.

He's going to talk about cyber warfare, and if we are prepared for it, I've been reading his new book, and I got to tell you.

We are facing things that we have to talk about.

We have to talk about.

Cyber warfare is one of them.

Hardening our systems has got to be one of those things

because this is the new war.

And I have to tell you,

we usually don't learn our lesson until millions die.

There's a new technology, a new way to kill people or win a war.

That's gas.

All right, World War I.

We all said, okay, let's not do gas attacks anymore.

World War II, nukes.

Okay, let's not do nukes anymore.

Now, is it cyber?

And is Russia prepared to launch that?

Is it mutually assured destruction?

Well, is it?

They're not as dependent as we are.

I mean, Moscow, yes, but you think rural Russia?

is all hooked up as much as we are to the internet?

Chris Stewart's going to talk about that, that threat, and what are we doing to be able to

survive that, to make sure it doesn't happen.

Does he have a plan to stop the frozen tundra from melting in northern Russia?

No, John Kerry, he doesn't.

He doesn't.

Of what value is he then?

I don't know.

We just had to fill some time.

Okay.

Okay.

That's coming up next.

Fascinating conversation in just a second.

Stand by.

The Glenn Back Program.

Brenda wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.

She says, I have a lot of knee and neck pain.

Relief Factor has helped so much by dialing that pain back for me.

Now my husband and I can take walks every day, and I can sleep through the night.

Thank you, Relief Factor.

Brenda, it is fantastic to hear that you're getting your life back.

It is, I know what it's like to have pain and just think this is the way the rest of my life is going to be.

It doesn't have to be that way.

If Relief Factor works for you, and it's usually taken by people who have tried absolutely everything.

I had given up on trying anything new.

I'd been to the Mayo Clinic.

I'd been everywhere.

And nothing would stop this.

Relief Factor was created by doctors to help your body reduce inflammation.

I thought to myself, this is not going to work.

I tried the three-week quick start.

I still take it every day, three times a day.

I've been taking it now for about four years.

1995.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Tonight I'm going to be at CPAC.

I am speaking at the Reagan dinner.

If I can get there,

Dallas has been packed with an ice storm and

all the planes are being delayed, it appears.

No, they're actually doing something really special.

I like this when planes do this,

when airports do this.

They put you on a plane and then they close the door and then they roll away from the gate so they can say it was an on-time departure and then you sit there for a few hours.

Love that.

That's awesome.

I love that.

I'm glad their stats are padded, though.

Yeah, that's great.

I want to bring in Chris Stewart.

He is the congressman from Utah.

He is the author of the Final Fight for Freedom.

And Chris, as I have told you, I did you a great disservice by having you on without reading your book.

And I told you at the time I hadn't yet.

I have read it and it is powerful.

I mean,

there are things in there that just scare the hell out of me, quite honestly.

And one of them is cyber warfare.

Are we prepared for cyber warfare?

No, Glenn, we're not.

Not at all.

I mean, and it's nearly impossible to prepare for it.

And by the way, thanks again for having me on.

And I do hope you get out to CPAC because

they need you out there.

They need to hear your voice out.

Thank you.

But you know,

one of the real

concerns that we have, obviously, with the situation unfolding in Ukraine,

and by the way, we haven't reached a point where we're expecting global war.

I don't anticipate that at all.

But Russia has,

we're literally staring down the barrel of a loaded gun when it comes to Russia and their ability with cyber warfare, their ability to attack our economy and our society with cyber tools.

And there's very, very little we can do to stop them.

The only reason they don't exercise that power is because they're afraid of what we do in retaliation.

But, you know, it's interesting, yesterday when Vladimir Putin made this comment about, well, you know, if you push us too hard,

you know, we will punish you in ways that you have never seen before.

Many people,

you know, interpreted that to be, well,

is he talking about nuclear weapons?

No.

I don't think he's talking about that at all.

No.

He's talking about his tools and the capability he has with cyber warfare and cyber attacks against the U.S.

He already said like four years ago that the next world war will all be fought with ones and zeros.

I mean, he knows how to cripple America.

Are we in a mutually assured destruction that if they start, we can hammer them back quickly?

Yes and no.

I mean, we certainly have offensive weapons and we would exercise those weapons, but there's a couple things that make this very complicated.

For one thing, there really is plausible deniability.

And that is, you know, we can't know for certain what the source of the attacks are.

And we could assume they would come from Russia at this point, and we probably would.

But

we don't know that for sure, including not only nation states, but there could be some terrorist organizations and some

global criminal organizations that could initiate attack against us right now that we would think, oh, this is Russia, and it turned out to be someone else.

The second thing is the defense against these things is nearly impossible.

It's like we have to be correct 100% of the time when we're being attacked millions of times every hour.

and all they have to do is to be able to penetrate once, and then they have the outcome they're looking for.

It makes it very, very difficult.

Chris, is it true that there is a multi-story building in, I think it's in Beijing, that the entire purpose of this large company, if you could call it, is just to hack our systems?

Oh, yeah.

And

there's more than one of them.

There is the equivalent of entire cities that are committed to that purpose.

And they've been able to use organizations and governments outside of Beijing to do it.

I mean, many of the attacks that come to us are actually coming out of North Korea with the assistance of China.

And some of them are obviously under the

concept of being not

government organizations, but private organizations.

Some of them associated with Western organizations, by the way.

What does it mean, a cyber attack from Russia or China?

What would that how would that manifest itself?

What would that mean to the average person?

Oh my gosh.

I mean

it depends on this on this on the scope and the scale of it.

I mean, I think they can everyone knows they can go after everything.

They can go after our financial system.

They could go after air traffic control, for example.

As you were talking about flying this evening, our water, our pipelines, they've demonstrated our pipelines

capabilities capabilities against colonial pipeline about a year ago.

And the only reason they did that was to kind of remind us.

Communications, which of course is critical to our society.

But the big one, Glenn, the holy grail of these, is to go after our electrical grid.

And everyone recognizes that our electrical grid is not protected.

We could protect it more, but

there's no way to protect it completely.

And when I say our electrical grid, I don't mean, you know, they would take out Dallas or they would take out part of Virginia.

I'm telling you, they could take out the entire national grid.

And they could take it out not for a few days.

It could be months, maybe longer, before we're able to recover from that.

How?

And

how does that happen?

I mean, like, I understand an EMP fries all the circuits.

How do they take it out and turn us off for that long?

Well, think about this.

You know,

one of the great examples of the power of a cyber attack is SexTechs, which took place about 15 years ago.

And this is brilliantly conceived,

but we found a way.

And by the way, a really interesting thing about that virus was it was promiscuous.

We had to put it globally before we could get it into the machines we actually needed in the Iranian centrifuges.

And there's estimates that up to 10% of the world's computers were infected by that, but that didn't matter because it was designed to go after only specific machines.

But it spun them up and then it slowed them down and spun them up and these centrifuges essentially destroyed themselves.

Well, imagine a virus such as that that goes spreads throughout the United States electrical grid that's destroying pieces of equipment, computers, transmission lines, generators, transformers, all across our

global system.

And if you kind of interpret what we did there and project that into a global electric or a national electrical grid, you can see how they could take out big pieces of equipment and little little pieces of equipment.

And some of that stuff's nearly impossible to get now.

A lot of it comes from China, by the way.

And even in the best of times, it's a year to an 18-month wait list for some of these generators.

We're talking to Chris Stewart, the author of The Final Fight for Freedom: How to Save Our Country from Chaos and War.

It is a fascinating book.

If you want to see what we're really facing because of new technology and where we have,

you know, the stupid mistakes that we have made by not paying paying attention to things.

In the book, you talk a little bit about CRISPR and China.

Before we get there, I don't know if you saw the news today, but every time we briefed China, we showed them all of the intel that we had on Russia and how they were positioning troops.

China then, we found out today, took that intel and delivered it right to Putin.

How stupid are we?

You know, Glenn, I use a phrase in this book, and it really comes from Abraham Lincoln.

He's the one who observed, and Ronald Reagan and others did, that they said, no nation will ever destroy this country.

The only way we see our device is if we commit national suicide.

And I use that phrase in the book, because that's exactly what we're doing.

We don't have to go down this path.

We don't have to do these types of things.

And what you just described is a simple, but it's a small example of us doing that.

When you said, how stupid?

Yeah, of course.

How stupid.

But we do those types of things all the time.

And it's, as you and I have discussed in the past, you look at yourself or other people and go, what in the world are you thinking?

Do you not know what the outcome of this is going to be?

And what motivates you?

Is it simply that you're not bright enough to understand this?

Or do you actually want to harm

a Western democracy and freedom and specifically the United States?

And I've concluded there are people who that's actually their motive.

And you know some of them in the public realm.

We know some of them in politics.

I mean, that's that's clear what's happening when this administration is upping our orders for oil from Russia.

Um, Russia is delivering more gas and oil than it did yesterday to Europe, uh, and we are we're buying oil from Iran now, the United States buying oil from Iran.

This is this is suicide.

Why would we do that?

You, I really truly believe the only way to explain it is this administration does not have an American agenda.

Well, I mean, look what the president did.

The very first day in office, he kills the Keystone Pipeline.

But more than that, as you've made so clear, Glenn, and over and over again, it's the demonization of oil and gas companies.

It's the definancing of them, make it impossible for them to work in the banking system.

That's the most important thing he's done.

But in addition, he shuts down oil and gas exploration in the West.

He does the same thing up in Alaska.

And six months later, he has to go to OPEC and beg them to increase production.

And about the same time, we start increasing our imports from Russia.

For heaven's sakes, we are financing the invasion into the Ukraine with U.S.

dollars with the oil we're now buying from Russia.

So what?

Look at that and ask yourself,

how does that make sense?

I'm just saying, how does that make sense?

How does anyone in Washington was this whole thing about, oh, we're going to hit him with sanctions that are so hard, it'll be blinding,

when you as a country are upping your order for Russian oil and you're not cutting them off anywhere,

how

what was this all about, Chris?

Well,

I think maybe, look, I wish I had the answer to that.

I will say this.

If you want to hurt Vladimir Putin, then drive down the cost of oil.

Yes.

If you want to help Vladimir Putin, then drive up the cost of oil.

And then look what we've done over the last year.

And by the way, look at the sanctions they've imposed now.

They exempt oil and gas.

They don't just touch him in the one thing.

It's the one thing that he needs to continue to finance not only this invasion, but his entire power base in Russia.

He needs that international currency.

It's

by far away the largest source of foreign currency that they have, and leave them in SWIFT.

Allow them to continue with financial transactions, international financial transactions.

Look, some of these sanctions are going to hurt some people in Russia, but it's not going to do anything to actually forget about deterrence.

We're past deterrence now.

It's not going to do anything to significantly punish that.

So, all right, so I've only got a minute left, Chris.

Let me ask you,

do we look like a laughing stock or is the rest of Europe in on this too?

And the American people are just

are the laughingstock that we actually believe that any of these guys are serious about anything?

Well, and that's something I ask myself all the time.

Are we a serious country anymore?

I think I can answer that best through describing a couple conversations.

After the debacle in Afghanistan, I talked with a friend of mine.

He's a member of the the Ukrainian parliament.

I'm praying for him and his family's safety right now because they're going to be targeted.

Right after Afghanistan, he called me and said, hey, look, we don't know if we can trust you guys anymore.

Had a similar conversation with leader in Jordan and a very similar conversation with some leadership in Asia.

That's the central question.

Does anyone trust us anymore?

And after watching what happened here, I think it builds on another brick in that wall of saying the United States is not a global leader.

They're not a serious nation.

Look Look what they're doing to themselves, which is what Vladimir Putin is saying, by the way.

He's pointing to the United States in all sorts of ways, culturally, economically, militarily, and saying, look at them.

Are they a serious country?

Do you want to be like them or do you want to have a serious leader, someone like me?

Chris Stewart, thank you very much.

Thanks for all that you do, and thanks for the book.

The author of The Final Fight for Freedom.

It is a tremendous book full of facts that

I really didn't know and understand it.

Really written very well for everyone can understand it.

The Glenback Program.

I just, I have to play this really sad, sad piece of audio.

Can we play the full piece of audio from The View yesterday?

Estimates are 50,000 Ukrainians will be dead or wounded, and that this is going to start a humanitarian crisis, a refugee crisis in Europe.

We're talking about 5 million people that are going to be displaced.

I mean,

it's heartbreaking to hear what is going to happen.

Well, I'm scared of what's going to happen in Western Europe, too.

You know, you just, you plan a trip, you want to go there.

I want to go to Italy for four years.

I haven't been able to make it because of the pandemic.

And now this, you know, it's like, what's going to happen there?

Yeah.

And now this.

She has had to wait for four years.

She's had a trip planned.

First, COVID, where millions die, stopped her from going.

And now 5 million people displaced.

Insult to injury.

The injury, of course, she's seen her lack of trip.

Yeah.

And then the insult on top of that already horrible thing is that whatever, millions of people died.

I mean, she should really, there's got to be someone for people like her that they could sue.

You know what I mean?

She's got to be able to sue somebody or just stop the killing for a while so she can see, you know, Rome.

This is the Glenn Back program.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's the corner survived.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day I'm turned to rise.

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

This is the Glenback program.

Hello, America.

Want to explain a couple of things that I think most Americans are asking.

What the hell is Swift?

Are our sanctions that we put on yesterday, are they really more damaging than

not allowing Russia to interact financially with any of the banks in the West?

That doesn't seem right.

What happened to the stock market yesterday?

Why did it go up?

Is that because the Fed is just pouring more money into the stock market?

Or is it that the stock market knows

Biden's not doing anything that's going to hurt anybody's big business?

What is going on?

Carol Roth, the author of The War on Small Business,

she calls herself a recovering investment banker, somebody that knows Wall Street, knows how this game is played, and is doing everything to expose it.

She's on with us in 60 seconds.

As if the everyday garden variety cyber crime wasn't enough to be concerned about, I think it's pretty likely that we may have a massive uptick in cyber hacking in the coming months.

Hopefully it is not on a national scale, but God help us.

Now it could be directed by a certain dictator in a certain very aggressive country who just may have perhaps invaded another country recently.

I don't know, but I know that we need to lock our life down, and that is what Lifelock does.

Carol Roth is joining us.

Carol, I have so many questions for you today.

How are you?

I'm doing well.

Some of them I'm not going to be able to answer because insanity, but we'll do our best to muddle our way through them.

Okay.

Can you at all give us a

common understanding of what Swift is?

So the best way I can explain Swift is a clearinghouse for the messages about transactions through the international banking system.

To kind of dial it back to the US, if you send a wire transfer between banks in the US, you have a special code.

If you do it internationally, there is a SWIFT code, and that entity acts as that sort of clearinghouse between the banks to say, oh, you need to send money from one place to another.

So basically, cutting off Russia or anybody else means that you don't get to sort of participate in the global banking system in a very rudimentary sort of explanation.

Right.

And that is important.

Again, it will take it down to the baby level, but that's important.

The reason why you would wire transfer something is because if you write a check,

it's going to have to sit there and be verified for funds and everything else.

If you are doing big business, you're just moving things quickly because you need that transfer to kick in right away, correct?

True, except for internationally, it often can take a day or more to clear, but it is, again, that sort of middleman, that international clearinghouse.

It's based in Belgium for all of the international financial movement, if that makes sense.

Okay.

And

Europe, according to Joe Biden, didn't want to take that step yet.

So they didn't see it.

Yeah.

Well, of course they didn't because, you know, they're getting, if it's your Germany, you're getting 40%

of your oil from Russia.

So they understand

the precarious position they're in.

And I'm sure they put a lot of pressure on Joe Biden and saying, listen, you know, we can't afford it.

And oh, by the way, geniuses, you don't have the exports now that you're no longer energy independent to be able to help us out here.

So what are we going to do?

And I imagine those were the types of discussions happening behind closed doors to have a very weak set of sanctions put out against Russia.

So Joe Biden says that the sanctions that he did put on

are just mind-numbingly crippling for Putin and Russia.

How would you describe them?

Well, he actually had somebody within his administration, one of the members of the Economic Council, that said they weren't meant to disrupt the flow of energy and basically completely contradicted that.

So they seemed kind of like everything the Biden administration has done, much more for show than for any any sort of actual impact.

If you wanted to have impact, not only would you have put that pressure in terms of taking Russ out from Swift, maybe putting sanctions on Putin themselves, disrupting energy, I mean, really getting serious.

And

certainly none of that transpired.

So, I mean, to hit...

Putin where he lives and to really destroy Russia, the best thing to do is be a massive exporter of oil and drive the price of oil

at least below $80 a barrel because

that's where they make money is $70, $80 a barrel, anything over that.

So drive the price of oil down cripples him or cut him off.

If you don't do that, it's like...

It would be like, we're going to sanction Glenn Beck.

He can make money in broadcasting, but no ballet dollars are coming his way.

Yeah, it would be like telling me, oh, well, I'm sorry, Carol, you can no longer eat the cauliflower.

Oh,

I'm so, so sorry.

That's going to devastate me on my diet.

Yeah, I mean, the reality is, if you look at the Russian economy, about 60% of their GDP comes from the oil and gas exports.

So certainly anything that disrupts that, whether it's disrupting getting payment for that, driving down the price overall, or just not allowing them to be able to export it, all of those kinds of things would be devastating.

And we have seen brave people in Russia who were marching in the streets saying, we don't want any war.

If things are getting worse there economically, those voices are only going to get louder.

So that would

put that feeling out to the world that Joe Biden was serious and that he wanted to really take a stand and would make other countries potentially think twice about things they might want to do, like China invading Taiwan.

Unfortunately, we did not see that.

So what happened to the stock market yesterday?

I mean,

you hear, you listen to the president, and he is saying there's going to be real pain from the American people.

They're going to really have price increases, disruption of all kinds of things, maybe even a cyber attack, the biggest war possibly since World War II.

And he's going to try to ease the pain.

And the stock market goes up.

Is that because, A,

the people on Wall Street know this isn't, this is business as usual, or

B,

the Fed just buying up more stocks and there's no reality anymore in the stock market?

As the meme says, Glenn, why not both?

It's a little bit of each of those.

I think there was an expectation that these sanctions were going to be somewhat worse and that that may escalate conflict and/or

change the ability to get some of the key exports and increase the prices of those.

And Russia has many of them, not only oil and gas, but aluminum,

wheat, and other things.

So the fact that Joe Biden was weak, the stock of market goes, oh, he's not really serious.

And so there's part of the rally on that.

The Fed piece of it is that there is this expectation for a rate hike coming up in March in a couple of weeks.

And prior to yesterday, the expectation was that there was going to be an increase of 50 basis points, which is half a percent.

And with the conflict potentially ongoing, stretching out, that gives the Fed a little bit of cover to say, well, it's uncertain.

We're not sure how it's going to play in, yada, yada, yada.

And that maybe that means there's only going to be a 25 basis point or a quarter of a percent increase, but whatever it is, it gives the Fed a little bit more cover, whether it's in March or for the rest of the year, to slow play, taking away their monetary support from the market, which the market loves.

So I think you have a little bit of both of those.

Yes, sure.

This is, you know,

I've never understood more than now the Shakespeare line, all the world is but a stage.

I feel like every day we're watching a show,

He's telling the American people, this is really going to hurt you,

and we're going to pay a high price

at the gas station.

And don't you oil producers charge extra and gouge people at this time while he's buying more oil this week from Russia than we bought the week before.

And we're making it easy for Iran and buying Iranian oil as well.

This is, none of this is real.

No, it's so frustrating.

I mean, Joe Biden has some levers he could pull to do a 180 on the economy, certainly returning our energy independence, firing up those oil and gas leases, returning to the Keystone pipeline, all of those kinds of things.

He could do a 180 on, and it would be very well received.

The average American would benefit from it.

And, you know, just from a, even if you're somebody who's climate change and, I'm focused on green, the reality is that that oil is getting produced anyway.

So would you rather have Russia or Iran be the ones that are producing it?

Or would you rather have the technological leader of the United States do it in a manner where we know there's a focus on making it more clean and more green?

So it fundamentally doesn't make any sense other than some of the wonderful things that you've presented in your book, Glenn the Great Reset, that everybody should read about if they haven't already.

All right.

We're with Carol Roth.

She is the author of The War on Small Business, a former recovering investment banker.

I asked her on today because there's a problem with wheat.

There's now, because of this conflict, there's a problem with oil and gas.

There's a problem with fertilizer.

We are headed for real troubled times,

and she's got some tips on what the average person should and can do about it.

Back in one minute with more from Carol Roth.

Our sponsor of this half hour is my pillow.

You know, how did you sleep last night?

I actually

have a feather pillow that my wife keeps on the bed, you know, because we've got to have a bunch of pillows.

I don't know why.

We throw them on the floor at night.

Why do we have all the pillows?

Anyway,

I got home last night.

I had to give a speech and I got home.

It was about 12.30 and I was so tired.

I just put my head down on one of those pillows and I woke up about a half hour later and already my neck was stiff and I felt the pillow and I'm like, this is not my pillow.

And so I grabbed that and slept all the way through until the alarm clock went off.

So

Carol is all of this

excuse of

Ukraine,

are we just being played on this with energy prices?

Are the energy costs going to go up because of what we're doing,

you know, with ESG and cutting the financing of our own,

slitting our own throat.

Or is this Ukraine thing actually playing a role?

So, I mean, this has been going on, as we've seen, for well over a year,

better part of almost two years now.

And the Ukrainian conflict is just several days old.

So despite the media's attempt to say, oh, this is the reason for it,

obviously us bowing out of production

from some of the decisions the Biden administration made, the canceling of oil and gas leases, the canceling of the Keystone Pipeline, whatnot, and also the ESG pressure that made it so that many of the companies that were involved in oil exploration and whatnot

and refinement not want to do as much of it over the last couple of years.

So there has been a lot of pressure outside, both through government and through sort of this you know global ESG fascination that has depressed the U.S.'s position and obviously that's put some

some

cricks in the in the road here as well as you know the OPEC oil cartel obviously they wanted to make up for some of the lost money that happened over the pandemic so you know they did not ramp up productions to the level to meet demand so all of these things factor in, as well as disruption in the supply chain.

You know, it's harder and more expensive to get the refined gasoline to the station.

I mean, just so many things that all snowball together.

So that has all created a big issue and it's going to be an ongoing issue whether or not this Russia-Ukraine conflict

continues.

That being said,

if it escalates, yes, it will have a further impact on top of what we're already seeing.

You know, currently, you know, we have oil that's over $90 a barrel.

You know, it could go over $100 organically before they probably start

pushing out more oil.

If this escalates from a Russia-Ukraine perspective, you could see $140 a barrel oil.

So it's very, very meaningful in terms of that incremental amount, but it's not like without it, we'd be at $70 or $60.

We see the price of fertilizer, 300% increase.

That has something to do with natural gas.

We have

any oil products,

even

bug killers that you put on your crops.

Wheat is going through the roof today.

We are going to be facing some real problems at the supermarket in the next six to eight months.

Am I reading that right?

Certainly.

I would say we are definitely going to be facing issues.

We have been facing issues.

Inflation is going to continue.

The question is, is it a problem or is it a mega problem?

But either way, you should be prepared.

You should be prepared every day, but you should be prepared for this conflict to escalate.

Nobody's ever been sad about being overprepared.

Usually Usually happens in the other direction.

So there are definitely steps that you can take today just to make sure that you have your ducks in a row.

And what are those steps?

So on the energy front, you have simple things.

We don't know what's going to happen, not only with the price, but are there potentially escalating cyber attacks that end up disrupting our own infrastructure?

I don't know if you remember way back in the early days of the Joe Biden presidency, he gave Putin a a list of here are the critical things that are off limits for a cyber attack.

So basically a roadmap of everything that they should attack should there be an issue.

So you as an individual should make sure, you know, with your cars that you keep your gas tanks full, that if you have the ability to store extra gasoline, that you have some extras just in case not only the price goes up, but we end up in a position where there's some rationing.

You don't want to be caught in that position.

And as you and I've talked about, Glenn, before, for your house, have backup generators and other sources of energy in case there's an issue.

I know that I take propane.

And

I called yesterday.

I just got a delivery, I don't know, a few months ago.

And I called them up and said, could you please come out and tap my tank off?

They said, sure, you're on a waiting list now.

This was yesterday.

They said, the phones are ringing off the hook.

Your heating oil, everything, should get on a list now to get that full.

So you're paying A, this price, and B,

if something happens, you have a full tank.

100%.

100%.

With other supply chain issues, same kinds of things, both from a price increase standpoint and to make sure you have extras in case of disruptions, get the extra water, get something that can distill down your water and take the yucky stuff out just in case there's an issue, stock up on things that are not perishable in terms of food, stock up on medicine, have an emergency supply kit, all of those things that should something kind of really go awry here, a big escalation that you're prepared.

And then on the financial standpoint, we were talking about the stock market and being all over the place.

This is the time when people who are not sophisticated investors tend to panic.

And I want to give a quote from Warren Buffett, whose politics I don't particularly like, but boy, is he a great investor.

And his famous quote was always that investors should be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.

So when you have those days where the stock market is going down and companies that you like or the overall stock market is in that bad position, that's the time when you slowly start putting money to work and building up your positions or what we call dollar cost averaging into stocks.

Do not pull your money out of fear.

Carol, thank you so much.

God bless you.

We will talk to you again.

Carol Roth, kind of our

show's financial

advice giver, if you will.

She watches all of this for us and helping the average person know what to do in these troubled times.

Carol Roth, The War on Small Business is the book.

Let me tell you about gold and silver.

And gold is up.

It's always up when money goes down,

when the value of your dollar is going down through inflation or times of trouble, gold always goes up.

Well, that's happening now.

And maybe you think it's too expensive for you.

They have an accumulation program where for as little as $200 a month, you can get started acquiring precious metals with Goldline.

This is the only company that does this.

They didn't do it a few years ago, and I asked them to, I said, is there anything we can do for all the people who say I just don't have money to invest in gold?

They said, yeah, we do this.

So for as little as $200 a month, get started in investing some of your money in gold or silver.

This week, they are offering a special ending tonight.

When you sign up for the exclusive accumulation program, you'll get an ounce of solid silver for free, just as a thank you from Goldline.

This offer is available when you sign up online at goldline.com.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We are reaching out now to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

There's a couple of things that

I mean, this office is very, very busy in Texas.

I think he had 22 lawsuits, more than anybody else, against the Obama administration.

And is he on?

Ken, how many lawsuits have you filed in the last year against the Biden administration?

23

as of yesterday.

So it took you a while to get up to 22

with the Obama administration.

I think that took you, what, two years?

It took me

I did 27 and 27 months.

It was one a month.

With Biden, it's about

two a month.

That is remarkable.

So you've added

well, I don't know if these are actual federal lawsuits.

The mask mandate lawsuit on public transportation, does that include the FAA and air traffic?

Yes, it absolutely.

That's what it's targeted at.

Yeah, so we are suing them over the mask mandate on airplanes and transportation hubs.

And

I think they don't have the authority to do it under federal law.

They haven't been given that authority by Congress.

So not only do they not have the authority, it makes no sense.

I mean, it's worse than saying you have to wear a mask when you walk into a restaurant, but once you sit down,

the Omicron doesn't operate at that low level.

Airplanes are the air is filtered over and over and over again.

It's clean air compared to what you would breathe anyplace else.

Well, they certainly haven't documented why it's essential to have masks on airlines, especially when masks don't work.

There's no documentation on whether they work or not.

And then, of course, if you've been on a flight recently, you'll hear them say something about some type of criminal penalty.

If you don't abide, well, they made that up too.

There is no criminal penalty in law.

And so they certainly can't enforce something like that through the CDC, which is how they've tried to push this, the Center for Disease Control.

So they're lying to us when they say there's a criminal penalty?

Well, there is one as it's created by the CDC, but the CDC doesn't have the authority to create criminal penalties unless Congress told them they could do it.

So I could challenge that.

Yeah, better let me do it.

Okay.

One of the other things that you're doing is

categorizing sex change procedures, child abuse.

And you're getting a lot of heat for that.

Tell me about that.

Well, you know, I may get a lot of heat.

My job is to, when I'm asked by a committee chairman in the legislature or

by the governor or lieutenant governor, what is the state of the law on this issue?

Well, I was asked, what is the state of the law on this issue?

And

we spent a lot of time researching it.

We heard from all sides, and we determined that, yes, indeed, it is child abuse to

sterilize your child, whether it's chemically or it's physically.

That's something they should make a decision about when they're of the age of majority.

Before that, it's child abuse.

Especially since doctors now are restrained from even discussing other options or saying, hey, maybe we should have

a psychiatrist talk to you first.

The science on this has gone to the crazy zone.

Yeah, and the reality is,

the studies I've seen, we've cited them, I think, in the opinion, talk about how down the road, many of these kids really regret that

they were changed.

And remember, this is, it's not like their sex was actually changed.

They are male and female.

It's a fact based on chromosomes.

They do modifications that give appearances that they've changed sex, but in reality, the sex hasn't changed.

The modification has just changed their physical, the way they are physically.

What were your thoughts on

what happened up in Canada with the truckers?

So I, you know, I have a lot of respect for those guys, and certainly we're in the process right now of investigating GoFundMe for what they did.

It sounded very, I mean, it's like stealing people's money when they committed it to a cause they believe in.

I'm proud of those guys.

They certainly have courage.

And we're going to find out what happened to GoFundMe and whether they have violated state law, which on the face of it certainly looks like if you take somebody's money and then you try to switch it out to give it something else, that does look like consumer fraud on its face.

I'm concerned about how the central bank up there, the finance minister or their treasury secretary,

could just take people's

funds away, shut down their access to banking services and insurance.

Is there anything that we can do as states to make sure that can't happen?

You know, I think the thing we could do is encourage our federal legislators, and we can pass laws in states to try to protect people.

It would be hard to make that translate to Canada.

But as an example, we just sued the Biden administration, the ATF, over trying to regulate and tax suppressors.

And we have a law in Texas that was passed in the last legislative session that said basically we control regulation of suppressors that are manufactured in Texas.

And we're suing the federal government because one of our arguments is under the Second Amendment,

you can't tax something that's constitutionally allowed.

You can't make people pay money to exercise their Second Amendment right.

I know that Texas has

passed a law on the E in ESG,

but what about the rest of us?

What about losing our

ability to bank or to get loans based on some sort of social score?

Are we thinking about widening that?

You know, I actually have a pretty keen interest in this because when I became attorney general within the first couple of months, I started losing my ability to transact through big banks.

I got my account shut down.

I've had my 401k at work shut down.

Charles Schwab kicked me out of all my funds.

Why?

Every letter was the same.

My Chase credit card said the same thing.

I was a reputational risk.

And I was told that I was put on a list by the Obama administration when I became Attorney General of Texas.

And from that point on, I've had trouble.

I can't do transactions with it like a Merrill Ledge or any kind of big bank.

I'm on a list

and I can't even pursue having credit or having an account.

So I had to get out of all my Charles Schwab funds, which I'd been with them for 22 years.

They kicked me out of all of them.

So, what are we doing to make sure this doesn't happen?

Because

that is the ESG score.

That is part of the great reset.

And,

Ken, there are

treasurers and

lawmakers all across the country that

Texas should be leading this,

but

we've got 20 different states working on this to stop it so it doesn't happen.

Well, I'd love to see the Texas legislature address it.

From my office, I don't make law, but they can make law and

they could exercise some type of penalty or oversight of any type of

business that punishes people for their political abuse and puts people on a list where they can't basically operate in the financial world or in other places.

If they get cut off, I think there should be some type of legislation passed in Texas.

And you don't even have the ⁇ I mean, you can't even face your accuser.

How do you get your name off that list?

No, I don't know.

I even went to talk to Mick Mulvaney, who is chief of staff at the White House.

I said, Nick, Mick, I'm on this list.

I know I'm on this list because I've been told I'm on this list by some of the bankers who didn't want to do it, told me I was on that list.

But I said, how do I get off?

And even he couldn't figure out where it was.

I thought because he was that agency before that does all that kind of crazy stuff, that the CFPB, I thought he might be able to figure it out.

No one's been able to tell me how I got on the list.

I just know what happened during the Obama administration, and I don't know where the list is.

I don't know who has it.

Wow.

That's terrible.

I know I'm not alone.

I know there are other people.

Oh, no, I know.

And

there's going to be more and more.

I mean, with what Justin Trudeau did, if you don't think that our government learned a lesson and maybe even taught them what to do, you're mistaken.

More and more people are going to be in this situation.

Ken, thank you very much.

Hey, thanks for having me on going.

Have a great day, and thanks for doing Collin County last night.

Oh, yeah, you're welcome.

It's Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

By the way, he is running against George P.

Bush.

Can we please,

for the love of everything good and sacred,

not

put another Bush in office?

Please.

Oh, well, which George Bush were you talking about?

Were you George A Bush?

George B.

Bush?

George C.

Bush?

D.

Bush?

E.

Bush?

F.

Bush?

Can we...

I mean, we have almost the entire alphabet.

Let's stop

with the Bushes, please.

All right.

Our sponsor this half hour, a line has been drawn in the sand for quite a while now.

And that line isn't between Democrat and Republican or conservative and liberal.

It's between people who believe in America and leftism.

That's not Democrats.

That's not liberal.

It's leftism, plain and simple.

One of the best ways to

fight against leftism is for you and I to join together wherever we can to support businesses that hold the same values and fight for those values just like we do.

And if they can save you money in the process, it has to be at least as good.

But if it can give you better service and save you money, it's a no-brainer.

We've been talking about Patriot Mobile for quite a while now, and I believe in them because they are exactly that kind of company that I've been looking for and I think you're looking for.

They have mobile plans to fit any budget.

Their 100% U.S.-based customer support team is awesome.

More importantly, Patriot

Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, sanctity of life, veterans, first responders.

Is it irrational that my

duneness of the Bush family, is it irrational at this point?

I don't think it's irrational generally.

It is a bit unfair in some ways that you immediately just assume anyone with the last name is bad.

However,

he's getting the benefit of a lot of people saying anyone with that last name is good, right?

In Texas, like the reason why he's in second place is not because he's

more qualified than some of the other candidates.

It's because he's, you know, name recognition.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There's a reason.

And, you know, a giant globalist family.

I mean, I just think that's, I think we should stop with the stop with the bushes.

Stop with the bushes.

Stay out the bushes.

Yeah.

Stacey Jackson once that stay out the bushes.

I think also, too, there is a very rational argument to be made that despite how incredibly wonderful and qualified a person may be, we don't just continually put people from the same family into power over and over again.

Yeah.

This could be very bad.

It's a bad idea generally.

Like, there's usually people in other families that can do the job.

Usually that's the case.

Yeah.

I think so.

I think so.

You know, and

it just it irritates me that it's always George

give any letter of the alphabet, Bush.

I mean, mean, I'd rather have James T.

Kirk than George P.

Bush.

See, right.

You know what I mean?

No, but I would actually.

He was a good leader.

He would be a good leader.

But I would actually take a mental patient that thought he was James T.

Kirk.

And every time he walked into the courtroom, he said, put your phasers on stun.

I'd rather have that guy.

Yeah.

At this point.

At this point.

What about another Clinton?

Are you up for another?

No, I'm not up for another Clinton.

I'm just thinking back to her great career as our Secretary of State for a moment.

Yeah.

And that incredible moment where she presented in

the wrong word, but a reset button.

Yes.

A great reset button.

Now, this is right after they had attacked out of nowhere for no reason the country of Georgia.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And their president, Saakashvili, who, by the way, is now in prison, a political prison, and in the middle of a hunger strike.

It would be great to hear what he has to say about all this, but he can't talk because he's currently in prison.

But then they did the same thing after the reset button with Crimea,

and now they're doing this.

It's almost as if they don't care what we tell them or say to them.

You know, it's weird

that,

you know,

these great globalists that just really know Russia, you know, between Joe Biden and the Clintons, they know Russia and Putin.

And

now we're in a Cold War where the two presidents aren't even talking.

That's great.

Yeah.

And again, we just spent many minutes talking about the issues with the Bush family and presidency, and there were many.

However, in 2008, they took steps that stopped Putin from advancing on Georgia.

They were actually able to stop it.

So Bush was able to stop it.

Obama let it happen.

Trump, they didn't even try it.

And then here we are with Biden, and it's happening in even worse circumstances, an even more overwhelming show of force.

Well, it's because

Joy Behar can't get to Italy now.

Yeah, well,

that's what I was leading to, which is the real crisis.

I have to play this one more time before

we leave.

Here it is.

Estimates are 50,000 Ukrainians will be dead or wounded.

Yeah, and that this is going to start a humanitarian crisis, a refugee crisis in Europe.

We're talking about five million people that are going to be displaced.

I mean, listen to what people are doing.

It's heartbreaking

to hear what is going to happen.

Well, I'm scared of what's going to happen in Western Europe, too.

Yeah.

You know, you just plan a trip, you want to go there.

I want to go to Italy for four years.

I haven't been able to make it because of

the pandemic.

And now, this, you know, it's like, who's going to, what's going to happen there?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's my reaction.

This is Marie Antoinette.

Will let them eat cake.

I mean, it is that out of touch.

It really is that out of touch.

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

I feel for Joy.

Do you?

I feel her pain.

Yeah.

You know, she wants to go, Glenn.

I would.

She can't go.

If I could get her out of our country, I'd pay for that trip.

I'd pay for that trip.

That would be wonderful.

We should send her to Italy.

That would be nice.

She can go and visit.

Well, she could be sent somewhere.

Tell you that.

Okay.

Someplace a little warmer.

Like a lot warmer.

Like hell.
