All investing is subject to risk.

Welcome to the podcast.

Today, we talk about not only

the pandemic, but also the financial future for everybody.

And as inflation hits and all the other things go on, we'll get into that today.

Glenn's new book is out.

It's called The Great Reset.

It's number one on Amazon.

It's number one on Kindle.

It's number one everywhere.

You should pick it up as well at glensnewbook.com.

We get into that and we get into the feeling around the country almost of a little bit of embarrassment as to what has gone on over this first year of the Biden presidency and a shiny new 33% approval rating for our president.

We'll get into that today as well.

Here's the podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Blandbeck program.

You know, I've been doing a lot of interviews around the country for the new book, The Great Reset, and I am surprised at how many times

I hear people say, like Sean Spicer yesterday said, you know, I didn't realize.

I thought I knew everything about politics and everything else.

And then I read your book, Glenn, and he said, it opened my eyes to something completely different.

This is the Rosetta Stone for understanding

what's happening in our country.

So many stories you can't make sense of.

Read the Great Reset

and then

let's start fixing our country.

We can't win against Islamic extremism because we can't identify it.

Nobody was allowed to identify anything.

If we weren't able to identify communism,

we wouldn't have been able to defeat it.

If we wouldn't have been able to identify fascism and Nazism, we wouldn't have been able to defeat it.

If you're going to fight, you have to stop fighting the shadows, which is the right, left, Republican, Democrat kind of thing.

The Democrats are trying to bring in a one-party system, which is all about the Great Reset.

But that's not the show.

That's not the real...

That's not where everything is happening.

It is happening, as we'll show you later on in the program.

It's already happening to the banks.

It's already happening to businesses.

It's already happening to you with COVID.

So many people have written me this week and said, Glenn, I'm reading the book right now.

And, you know,

there are solutions.

And yes, there are solutions.

And they are practical solutions at the end of the book.

Later on in the program today, I'm going to go over economic solutions for you.

But I've also drafted up a practice steps to revive the Republic, and I'd like to send this out in my newsletter and also post this at Facebook and everything else during the show today.

It's practice steps to revive the Republic.

And it's nowhere near a comprehensive list.

There's lots of things that we have to do.

But let me give you just a few of them.

And

they're going to sound simple or crazy or come on, that's not going to, but it is.

This is all part of it.

Remember, our foundation is rotten.

So, unless we go back to the cornerstones and we fix that, we can never level the house.

The house will come down.

It's only a matter of time.

We have to stop taking shortcuts and go right to the cornerstone.

So, number one,

get married and have a family.

Get married and have a family.

The best thing you can do, Mother Teresa said, best thing you can do to promote world peace is get married, have a home, have children, and love your family.

Family is the first government

we enter into.

It's where we are taught the ideas, the virtues that are necessary for self-governance.

Your kids start to rebel in their teenage years because they're ready to start governing themselves.

They want that.

So our job is to love our children, teach them, and then let them go and make their own decisions.

That is the natural order of things.

So you learn those things.

And if kids are

out on their own, they're

not in a good family, the family has disintegrated, we call those people maladjusted.

because they didn't come from a family.

Look at our murder rates and everything else.

It's from broken homes.

If you want to fix America, if you love someone, if you know what that means, and

you're a decent human being,

marry them.

Marry them.

Now, marry them and start a family.

Reagan said, if you're concerned about the fall of America, some have suggested in today's world, the family has somehow become less important.

I can't help but thinking just the opposite.

When so much around us is whispering the little lie that we should live for the moment and just ourselves, it's important that our families affirm an older and more lasting set of values.

All right, the second one, and I go into depth on all of these, and I'll post it at Facebook here in a few minutes.

The second one is tell the truth.

Jordan Peterson said something I think really profound.

He said, when you have something to say,

silence is a lie.

It goes to Bonhoeffer.

Silence in the face of evil is evil itself.

You're lying if you stand by quietly.

Lying today is really, really easy.

And it takes the mess of the present and pushes it right into the future.

It makes your life a minefield.

One wrong step and everything blows up.

Lying takes too much out of you.

It just does.

And I know I'm an alcoholic.

I lied for many years of my life while I was drinking.

And there is nothing more empowering than telling the truth and letting the chips fall where they may.

Stop lying.

We're all saying the media lies, politicians lies, the doctors, the celebrities lie, blah, blah, blah.

But if we're lying too,

Even if it's just we're being silent in the face of these lies, then we know they are lies and we can't expect things to improve.

We have to agree with each other to stop lying and to start telling each other the truth and then listening to each other.

When you are forced to remain silent, when you're being told the most obvious lies, when you're forced to repeat those lies yourself,

you will

lose all sense of right and wrong, and

you will become part of the evil that you are against.

You have to embrace and promote a life of

worthy values of liberty.

And it begins with us.

Third step, study and history, study history and read old books.

The one thing I have learned over the years is these

ridiculous scholars that are just quoting themselves and they never get to an original source.

And they want to tell me what somebody thought 200 years ago by dismissing what the people and the friends of that people and even some of the enemies said about those people at the time of their life.

They have no new insight.

Stop reading these new books.

Start getting back to original sources.

You know,

so much is being lost because

we're looking for new wisdom.

It is old wisdom that will provide the stability.

Fourth step I want you to consider is own,

don't rent.

You know, I said last night on the TV show, somebody asked a question, I don't remember what it was,

but it was about the great reset.

And they said, what is it?

I think this was the question, what is it that these corporations are getting out of all of this?

Why do they want to do this?

Why would they cripple people?

And how does that help them if they're destroying everything?

Because they are the Mr.

Potter in It's a Wonderful Life.

You have to change your mindset on what corporations are now doing.

They used to have a social contract that what was good for them or what's good for you is good for them.

That social contract is no longer valid.

They are not thinking that way.

They are looking to enrich themselves because they see that the world is changing.

This is a longer discussion we can have, and it's also in the book.

But they are making moves that will ensure their prosperity and really ensure your demise.

And I want you to understand it like this.

Mr.

Potter.

What was the story between Jimmy Stewart and Mr.

Potter?

What was that building, you know, that building savings and loan story

really all about?

It was about two visions.

One was George Bailey and his father, and they said people had a right to own their own spot of land, to own their own life,

and to make their own rules.

And it gives pride.

You know, a Harvard study came out in 2001, and they said there's strong, consistent evidence that indicates that homeowners are more likely to be satisfied with their homes and neighborhoods, participate in voluntary and political activities, and stay in their homes longer, contributing to the neighborhood.

These things are all really good.

There is pride of ownership.

The great reset is about destroying all ownership.

Own,

do not rent.

Mr.

Potter said, ah, these people, they're never going to amount to anything.

That's the elite speaking.

these people you can't trust them they're bad we have to control them we'll put them into pottersville pottersville is the great reset that's what they want it to become and that is exactly what it will become

unless we start to do things to become self-reliant more empathetic and stand on the owner's mentality.

The other couple of things here, I'm just going to give them to you quickly and I'll post them.

Dump the tea into the sea.

Remember who we're dealing with.

Dump the tea in the sea and know your rights and your responsibilities.

You have to know your rights and your responsibilities.

And the last one is say republic more than democracy because we are not a democracy.

We are republic and that is an important distinction.

I'm going to point these easy steps

to my Facebook page here in just a few minutes.

We'll post them so you can have them.

These are New Year's resolutions that you can do and should do.

I would love to get emails and phone calls from people today who say, I've been dinking around on my

fiancé or asking somebody to get married.

I'm going to ask them today to marry me.

Get married, start a family, buy a house, own

something.

Back in a minute.

You're listening to the best of the Glen Beck program.

Okay, let me go to

my co-author of the best-selling book, the number one-selling book in the country now,

Justin Haskins, co-author of The Great Reset.

I told you about a half hour ago, I found out right after the show yesterday that my worst fear had come through, that we had already sold through the first printing of the book

in the first day.

This book, the most we've ever sold in a week with common sense, and that was about 150,000 copies.

We sold about 100,000 copies in the first day of this book.

We are trying to get the presses rearranged so we can get it out.

It is available on Kindle.

It is available in some stores.

You can order it

and please do that.

It helps us know what the demand is.

Please order it.

Now you can go to glensnewbook.com, glensnewbook.com, and you can order it.

We'll give you the details on when it will be shipping to you soon.

But like I said, Barnes ⁇ Noble and other places still do have some copies of the book.

So grab it.

It is the Rosetta Stone.

My co-author is Justin Haskins.

This one took some real heavy lifting from Justin and his team and my team because this was very difficult to figure out.

And Justin, one of the things that people have to understand is that

how this is going to affect their everyday life.

And there's a story out today about Uber

and how this, the great reset, is actually affecting Uber

today.

Do you have that story by any chance?

Yeah, yeah, we just pulled it up actually.

And essentially, what's going on is

with Uber, it's not just Uber, it's actually Uber, it's Lyft, it's a whole bunch of companies that are affected by what's called the gig economy, where you have independent contractors doing most of the work for these companies.

That's what Uber drivers are, and that's what Lyft drivers are.

And you have these ESG scoring and rating groups penalizing Uber, penalizing Lyft, because they don't have enough information about these independent contractors.

They don't know how well they're being treated.

So they need more information about those before they're going to include them in all of their various

rating systems and things like that.

The thing that's important to keep in mind here is that it's all of these big ESG scoring companies, all of these big rating agencies, they're constantly looking for more and more and more information from these businesses.

And they're effectively penalizing these companies that are giving independent contractors the ability to go out and make some extra money by saying, you know, you guys are, by making these people independent, you're not giving us enough information.

We need even more information.

Otherwise, you're essentially going to be listed as one of these bad companies.

Uber Lyft and all of these other gig economy companies,

a lot of them, already have ESG scoring systems.

So this is actually them complaining that their ESG scoring systems are not giving them enough details.

Give us even more information.

And when they start like this, the next step is you're not giving me the information.

The driver, we need information on the driver and how he lives his life and what he is doing.

Exactly right.

This is how it all trickles down, and

it will stop you from working.

It will stop you from

inventing and being an entrepreneur.

It stops the basic free market dead in its tracks.

That's just one example of what's happening.

That's in the news today.

There is a story.

Now, I thought this would change.

We were talking about this yesterday, I thought.

The Davos World Economic Forum meeting, wasn't that changed to summer, or is that still January 22nd?

No, they changed it.

Yeah, they pushed it back.

And they may very well push it back even further.

So they did the same exact thing last year.

They kept pushing the meetings back.

They do virtual meetings, though, with many of the higher-level people.

So it's important to remember, just because they're not having one of these big meetings where

tens of thousands of people are flying into Davos doesn't mean that they're not meeting they have been meeting and they will continue to they have they just released the agenda for January for their virtual meeting people ask me you know how much power do they actually have I want you to listen just to the attendees titles the people who are actually speaking at Davos and all about the great reset you have the prime minister of India prime minister of Japan secretary general of the united nations President of the European Commission, Prime Minister of Australia, President of Indonesia, Prime Minister of Israel, Secretary of State, sorry, Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, Janet Yellen, Vice President of Nigeria, Director General of the World Health Organization, the Executive Director of International Agency, Energy Agency, President of Peru, President of Colombia,

Anthony Fauci will be there.

Minister of Environment of Egypt, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, President of Guatemala, Vice President of the United States, Al Gore,

the Minister of the Economy of Brazil, the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology, the President of Rwanda, Special Presidential Envoy for the Climate of the United States of America, John Kerry, the Governor of the Bank of Japan, President of the European Central Bank, the President of Ecuador, Director General, World Trade Organization, Ministry of Energy of Saudi Arabia, the Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights for the European Commission, the Governor of the Central Bank of France, the Minister of State for Advanced Technology, Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology of the UAE.

Those are just some of the speakers at this.

So when you say, what kind of power do they have?

That kind of power.

That's right.

That kind of power.

These people are making rules.

In fact, they just just put out

on this sheet the things that they are the top 10 global risks by severity.

See if these match anything that you feel.

Okay.

The number one, they're saying, is global warming.

Number two, extreme weather.

Number three, biodiversity loss.

Number four, social cohesion erosion, livelihood crisis, infectious diseases, human environmental changes.

They don't get to the economy until number 10.

These people are wildly out of touch.

They are elites, and they are designing everything.

Right.

Everything in your life.

Yeah, that's exactly right.

And the global risks report, which you were just quoting from, that came out recently from the World Economic Forum,

they essentially conducted a survey of a thousand people who are tied to the World Economic Forum.

Those were the number of respondents they had, anyway.

And they asked them what they they thought should be the primary risks going forward.

And those were the results that they got.

And I think the reason why that report matters so much is because I think this is them figuring out how they're going to position themselves going forward.

This whole idea of the great reset is built on crises.

You don't have a crisis.

You don't have

a necessary solution to rework the world, right?

You need a crisis to have the great reset.

That's what COVID was initially, but they know that COVID is not a long-term problem.

This survey proves it because COVID is not listed on here as one of the primary things, especially when you go, because there are several different timeframes in their survey.

The further you go out, like when you go to the five to ten-year

part, there's no mention of COVID at all.

So they don't believe that's going to be a problem for them in five to ten years.

What did they put there, though?

They put climate action, extreme weather, biodiversity loss, natural resource crises, human environmental damage.

Those are the top five things.

Why are those the things?

Because that, I believe, is what they think is going to be the strategy, the PR strategy going forward in the long term.

And this is something that we put in the book.

We spent an entire chapter in the book.

I think it's chapter three, all about how climate change is the long-term justification, how environmentalism is the long-term justification for the Great Reset because COVID isn't going to last forever.

Correct.

For moving you into cities.

I mean, we're talking about the claiming of 50%

of all property by our federal government.

50%

off limits to human beings.

That's obscene.

And who do they think they are that they could get away with this?

These will be global initiatives.

That's how they get around all of the countries.

The country can throw a fit.

It won't matter.

You will be kicked out of the global community if you don't play along.

You won't, nobody will accept your money.

No one will accept buying anything from you.

You can't sell anything to anyone.

And this is on not only a global scale, but I can't emphasize this enough, on the

most minute scale, you going to a grocery store.

It is what the plan is.

Right.

And I think that what's really important for people to understand, too, is that that is why corporations and banks and financial institutions are such a big part of this.

Because you could elect a Donald Trump America first type person, and the plan does not stop.

It doesn't stop.

They keep moving forward.

Why?

Because even if you have government officials saying, we're not going to do this, we're not going to support this, we're not going to go in this direction, if all of the corporations are moving in that direction anyway, if they're going to decide what you can buy and what you can't buy, if the banks are going to decide who, you know, that they won't lend to certain people doing certain kinds of businesses, then it doesn't matter what Donald Trump says.

They can control it and they can do it from anywhere because these corporations have become so globalized that if Europe says we don't do business with corporations, they're actually considering a resolution right now in Europe that would require every business that is in the value chain, not just doing direct business in the European Union, but just in the value chain in Europe to go along with a

European Union ESG, they call it due diligence system.

So if you're Coca-Cola, let's say you're Coca-Cola and you obviously sell things in the European Union, you're going to have to go along with the European Union's ESG rating system.

You're going to have to prioritize whatever they decide.

And so, again, it doesn't matter what politicians in the United States say if that's the system.

And the frightening thing, this is why local is so important.

Local lies everything.

start a farmer's market if you don't have one buy at a farmer's market

buy local local local you've got to you've got to start looking in the smallest of areas the way to beat this is through the small not through the big they've got the big mastered so you know coca-cola is one of the big ones on ESG and one of the real leaders in the world of of the great reset and they already are doing things in Europe that are insane.

If they have to buy sugar, they have to now verify that those farms and everything that they get their sugar from are ESG compliant.

The sugar farm cannot sell to a company that has a higher ESG score.

Now, this ESG score, I can guarantee you, it is all going to come down to money.

You know,

they're not well-defined.

It's really who's going to give people the money to grease the tracks?

This is going to get so corrupt, so fast,

and the price of everything will go up.

It has to.

It has to.

And

who is writing these ESG scores?

Who writes these ESG systems?

Who makes them?

It's the banks and it's big corporate leaders.

That's the people who are writing them.

The World Economic Forum's sort of official ESG system that they want the world to adopt, the head of that group that wrote those standards is the president or the CEO of Bank of America.

That's the person leading the charge for the World Economic Forum doing this.

So these people are literally writing their own rules.

This whole system is so corrupt.

It's so full of cronyism.

And it's so obvious what's going on if you actually take the time to look under the hood, which is what this book is all about.

If you don't know, if you don't understand the details of this, there will be no way to stop it because it is so complicated.

You will not stumble upon this information.

You have to actually be presented with it in a clear, cohesive way.

Exactly.

Otherwise, you'll never understand it.

It's really not complex once you get it.

That was our struggle, was to boil this down into something that everyone could read and understand.

And if you really want to become an expert,

all of the landmarks are there that we point you to to really go much deeper.

But this is the Rosetta Stone.

This is the thing that everyone has to read.

This is the biggest story I believe in.

If you think this is hyperbole, please correct it.

I think this is the biggest story of humankind in the last 500 years, maybe the last 200 years since America.

I think this is the game-changing human story of the last 200 years.

Yeah, the great reset is the other side.

It's the other side of the American Revolution.

It's their American Revolution.

For progressivism, for this whole long story that's been going on for hundreds of years of fascism and hardcore progressivism,

that story, in their minds, is culminating right now.

This is the height of that moment for them.

This is their American Revolution.

In the same way that the American Revolution was not the beginning of that freedom movement that had been going on for a while and that kind of became the culmination of that movement, this is the same thing for them.

This is their 1776.

Okay, the book, you can get it now: GlensnewBook.com, Glenn's New Book, more in a minute.

This

is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

All right.

Let me go to Carol Roth.

Carol Roth is just,

I think Carol has just been a godsend.

I have been looking for somebody that understands the economy broadly, understands the big business of Wall Street, but then focuses on the average person.

And she has done that.

She is a former investment banker, turned to the light side, and she is the author of The War on Small Business.

And we want to talk to her today about inflation, Congress, and their insider trading,

and what you should know about investing, how you can protect yourself for what is coming.

Carol, welcome to the Glen Beck program.

How are you?

Glenn, it's great to be back with you, and I have to congratulate you on the great reset book.

Mine is on the way.

I don't have it in my grubby little hands because they ran out of copies because it was so darn popular.

So

I am champing at the bid to get my hands on my copy.

Well,

you can get it on Kindle while we're waiting for the new books to be shipped out.

Hopefully, we'll have some news on when those things are going to be shipped out.

But

the biggest book I ever sold was a 2 million seller, and in the first week we sold 150,000 copies.

On day one, we sold about 100,000 copies on day one this time.

So it's, yeah, it's truly amazing.

So, Carol,

let's start here with inflation.

Inflation is not transitory.

It is getting worse and worse.

There are shortages in our grocery stores,

and we're hearing blame from everybody, you know, from the snowstorms, et cetera, et cetera.

In my entire life, I have never seen our country, except in snowstorms for a few days, go through this, but certainly not countrywide.

What is really happening, and how bad do you think this is going to get?

So, this is the

logical outcome, the illogical outcome of central planners who think that they are incredibly smart and a direct result of the COVID policies, monetary and fiscal, that we have seen over the last two years.

You had the Federal Reserve printing trillions of dollars and adding that to the economy.

You had the federal government putting out trillions of dollars in stimulus money.

You had governments at all levels deciding that they were going to treat the economy as if it were a modem that you could power cycle and flip it on and off.

And they shut down about a third of the economy and assumed that, that wouldn't cause disruptions to the labor force and to the supply chain.

And then some of the incentives that they put in place and the uncertainty they created by their policy further disrupted that labor force.

So, when you put that sort of big storm of things together, that is the driver of inflation.

And it goes all the way through.

If the inputs to goods and services are increasing in prices, and labor costs are going up because you can't find enough workers to work, and then they have

the leverage on their side, and your operating costs are going up.

Eventually, the businesses are going to need to make up that drag.

And so they pass those cost increases on to the consumer.

And that's why you are seeing both an increase in cost as well as a decrease in availability of all different kinds of goods and services.

So the study came out shows that what they have done to the economy has cost the average American $5,000 extra just in inflation.

They said to us last summer when it was

going over 2%,

maybe it'll go to 3% or 4%, maybe it'll go to 5%, maybe it'll go to 6%.

It's now over 7%,

and it's only been a few months.

Are we seeing any signs of slowdown of this?

Well, Glenn, I'm old enough to remember last 4th of July when they told us we were saving 16 cents on hot dogs.

I don't know about you, you, but I was very excited about that.

Yeah, I was very excited.

They have, I don't know if they actually missed the mark or they just lied to us because anybody with half a brain and you don't have to be a formal economist knew this was going to be the outcome.

And many of us have been jumping up and down for you know almost two years now saying this was going to be the outcome.

And by the way, that CPI measure of inflation, that 7% that you're talking about, is an urban household survey where they basically say, well, if you can substitute a good, we're not going to count that as an increase.

So it's actually that the 7% they're saying you're feeling much more than that in terms of your pocketbook and your everyday shopping.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

If you could, wait, wait, wait.

If you can substitute a good, so in other words, you can get spam instead of ham?

Right.

Then we're not going to count that.

We're going to count the increase in spam instead of the increase in ham.

I mean, th that's not the actual thing, but it that's the

analogy to what happened.

And

that's how they that's how they manipulate these inflation numbers and have been doing that for many decades now.

So whatever they're reporting to you and again, we we don't need to tell you this, you're going to the grocery store, you're go out living your life and you're feeling this.

So you know the things that you're paying for are have increased more than seven percent, but that's what they're admitting to.

So that that's a pretty

big admission when their target rate of inflation was 2 percent.

So can you

go ahead

and say, in terms of where this is going,

there are parts of this where I don't see how even if you can get some of the supply chain back on track and even if the Fed scales back its monetary policy, which it has said it plans to do, but I personally don't believe it's going to be at the scale that they're saying.

The piece, the labor piece of this,

we've had something like three million boomers who have retired early.

We have some structural issues in the labor force.

So what may end up happening is the rate of increase in inflation may come down.

Instead of a seven percent increase, it's only a five percent increase.

And what they will do is they will sell that as when, oh, look, the inflation rate is going down.

But what that really is, is cumulative.

You're never getting back that initial 7% increase, which we know is higher.

You're adding on top of that another five%.

So, yes, maybe you didn't get another seven, but that's money you are never getting back.

That is a permanent tax on the average American.

You talk in your book and

really lay it out really well.

This is all due to the biggest wealth transfer of all time.

It started in 2008.

They did it again

here recently.

And it has completely bypassed Main Street and the middle class.

And it's gone to the well-connected and the

wealthy already.

They're getting richer and richer.

I've never been somebody who has a problem with rich people or, you know, you make your money, you earn it honestly.

However,

they're getting bailed out by people like me paying my taxes and others who are working hard every day.

And we are losing in this deal.

And the end game is you will own nothing and you'll be happy.

Exactly.

So this is the great reset playbook that you have written about.

And I cannot wait to get into the details on that.

But that is one of the tenets.

And I have to say, you know, I am not the most conspiratorial person.

And when I first said, oh, there's no way they said something like, you will owe nothing and you will be happy.

And then sure enough, I went and I looked it up myself and I did the due diligence.

I went, oh boy, that's right there in plain English.

It's actually in their advertising campaign.

With a video with a with a woman, like, you know, dumbly smiling, going, oh, look, I owe nothing.

And I'm thrilled.

And that is the issue here, is that they're creating these barriers to wealth creation and to ownership.

And they've done it through monetary policy, they've done it through government rule, and it is the most historic transfer of wealth from Main Street to Wall Street.

Because if you are a saver or if you are a retiree or you are an average American who is just trying to go and buy groceries, it's getting more expensive.

You're not able to earn any sort of appropriate interest level on your savings to keep up with that pace of inflation.

But the asset values have been increasing.

And so, we're seeing those people who are already wealthy and well-connected seeing their wealth increase.

And so, basically, what you need to do is you need to take that playbook and flip it on its head.

Whatever they don't want you to do, you need to do.

You need to have ownership.

You need to be focused on those assets and practice some delayed gratification right now, because that is the pushback against the great reset.

So I was saying earlier today

because this whole thing is to try to get you to not own anything and they're going to bankrupt us.

So you have to be very careful and

really strategize because you don't want to get into over your head debt.

But owning property, owning your own house is so critical right now.

And if it means you have to move away from where you really want to live, but you can find another place in a cheaper part of the country, you know, that is a red state mentality, you should do it.

Somebody called me today and said, would you consider

condominiums real property?

That's a tough one.

That's a tough one.

I say this as a condo owner because it is somewhat cooperative.

And obviously we saw as recently as within the last year that if that cooperative doesn't make the necessary investments in the property, tragedy can strike.

We saw that in Florida.

So

I like something where you have that direct ownership, and the more direct you can own, the better.

As you said, home ownership, other things to do.

If you are a worker, right now you are in demand.

And if you do not have an ownership stake in the company that you're working with via options or equity, it's a really good time to look for an opportunity where you can share in that upside.

Whether the company is public or private, a lot of different businesses will offer you the opportunity to own a piece of the business over time.

And that, you know, if you're going to work and you're going to put

your time and your effort towards helping somebody else build value, participate in that value if you can.

Okay, so we're going to pick it up on Bitcoin and other investments, gold, silver, and

the things that you need to be aware of and the people that are enriching themselves in Washington on all of this, like pigs.

We're going to talk about that with Carol Roth here.

Give me one minute, and we're going to come

right back to the program.
