Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to board of Viarai. Embarked and profite. Embarked and relax. Cirot. Bookiné. Oh, that also. And profite. Viaray.
Starting point is 00:00:14 The voice that we love. Hey, Stu! It's another Andrew Cuomo day, huh? It is. The dumbest governor at... In the United States area, which might include Canada. I don't really know.
Starting point is 00:00:32 America's dumbest mobster. Andrew Cuomo, yes, he's here. And not only being called out by us now, it seems like it's spread a little bit. A little bit. Yeah, it's going viral. You know, when people in your own party and then the ones in your own office,
Starting point is 00:00:49 it's kind of a problem. We also have one of the scariest, we should have done it on Halloween, one of the scariest guests we've had in a very long time, Harry Dent, the economist, who has really called the direction of this economy. He's gotten some of the timing wrong. But he has called the direction of this economy.
Starting point is 00:01:11 In fact, he was on in, I think it was October of 2019. And he said by spring of 2020, something will happen. And this whole economy is going to turn. And we're going to have unemployment. and I thought that's crazy. And that's exactly what happened. He now says we're 45 days away from the Great Depression. You don't want to miss that and what he says you should do about it.
Starting point is 00:01:43 This and so much more on today's program. You're listening to the best of the Glenbeck program. Cola has sent out notices now to law firms demanding that the company will require diversity among all the of the law firms who bill it for work in the United States and reduce payments if they don't comply. They later went on to say that the Coca-Cola company's chief of diversity, equity, equity, not a quality, equity, and inclusion officer, Lori George Billingsley, who sounds very diverse, explains how Coca-Cola is creating a culture of diversity and inclusion. Coca-Cola's general counsel is urging law firms to affect real systematic change
Starting point is 00:02:44 by adhering to new requirements that mandate that outside counsel allocate a portion of work to diverse attorneys, specifically black lawyers or risk losing money or even future Coca-Cola legal business. Koch said it will require quarterly reporting about the makeup of legal teams that do work for it and self-identify as American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian, black woman, black or woman, Hispanic, Latinks. I want a Latino, man, woman, child, it. I don't care what your pronouns are. Stop with the Latinks. I don't know a single Latino person that doesn't think Latinks is insulting.
Starting point is 00:03:34 It is directly from the Sopranos. You're hanging out in some script club going, Yeah, bring that latinx away here. It's enough with latinx. LGBTQ, native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and persons with disabilities. 30% of each billed associate and partner time will be from one of these attorneys. And at least half have to be from black attorneys. Holy cow.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Now, here's why, can you see if you can get Tanya on the phone? Do you have her? No? See, you can get Tanya on the phone? Because no more Coca-Cola. No more Coca-Cola. And that is like gold at my house. But that includes a lot of stuff.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Now, I'm not leading a campaign against Coca-Cola. I wouldn't mind being responsible for that. But I don't lead boycotts. I personally... It was incredibly subtle there, Glenn. I don't know if people pick up. picked up on it. No, I'm fine with it. But everybody has to make their own personal choice. This is the line for me. This is the line for me. I will not cross this line. And here's why.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Think of the impact that Coca-Cola is going to have a company this large. And this is only the first they've already said over at the Great Reset. They're all in. and so they're going to require this of all of their partners. So when a company like Coca-Cola says, we're not going to do business with you unless you adhere to these things, how many companies are just going to fold? Most of them, because they need Coca-Cola's business. So think of this. Think of the truckers.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Think of the bottling plants. think of the people who supply them with water everything else everything they do a company the size of Coca-Cola Tanya's on the phone Tanya
Starting point is 00:05:42 hey I always think of these things and then I get home and I forget because we are talking about so many other crazy things wipe Coca-Cola off the list I know we haven't bought any for a while
Starting point is 00:05:55 but we buy Topo Citi what is it Topo Cico right? We buy that water that's a Coca-Cola product. Yeah. Can you go through the Coke products?
Starting point is 00:06:04 No more in our house. No more Coca-Cola products. What happened? I didn't hear about it. Did she get a voice in this at all? You just say edicts of no Coca-Cola products? No, no. We're on the same page on this kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:17 They've just, they're just going totalitarian as a corporate. Yeah. So go ahead. What are the products? Hang on, hang on. Listen to this. Okay. Poor Tanya.
Starting point is 00:06:28 She's not even. Yeah, I got it. I got it. I got it. When you forget later, I won't have it anymore, but I got it. Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Tasani, Smartwater, Minutemate, Innocent. I know, that sounds like some creepy website. Simply, Georgia, Costa, fused tea, honesty, fair life, power aid.
Starting point is 00:06:49 So far, we're good except for the sodas. Schweps. Vitamin water. Gold Peak. Appletizer? I don't know what that is. Tococchio, Aquarius Fresca
Starting point is 00:07:04 Barks Barks Oh man, barks root beer That's really good root beer Piece tea Which is bringing Lemonade
Starting point is 00:07:13 That's your Your favorite lemonade This segment's just making it thirsty Yeah Well Hang on They have restaurants too Don't they
Starting point is 00:07:21 Or is that PepsiCo I know Pepsi has a bunch of those I don't know This is just the Coca Cola company But I mean Pepsi you better not do Because then Taco Bell is up Yeah, there's like 200 companies that they directly own, and there's 500 that they own all or part of.
Starting point is 00:07:38 So it's going to be difficult. You're not going to be able to eat or drink anymore, that's for sure. Honey, do me a favor. Write to Selwyn and say, isolate Coca-Cola company from our stocks. No more Coca-Cola. Now, are you aware, does do these other companies that have you checked into their background? Coca-Cola company. It's the Coca-Cola. No, but I'm saying, like, what's your alternative to Topo Chico? Right. And a Perrier, you think Perrier is some conservative company? I doubt it.
Starting point is 00:08:06 No, I don't. I don't. So what do you do in those situations? Just, I'm going to eventually run out of things. Right. Okay. I'm going to eventually run out of things, but I am going to look for those companies that support. What about Hanks? Hanks? Hanks isn't going to go down this. Hanks. Hanks is the best. Hanks root beer is the best. I'll buy Hanks. Absolutely. It's always a good idea. Right. I mean, it just, I'm not going to do it anymore. You know what you should do It's, honey. Buy more cookies and less Coca-Cola. You are just, you're shameless. Kexie cookies.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Kexie.com. Well, you know what? They probably. K-E-K-S-I. Yeah. It's cookie in Finnish. Now, my understanding, Pat, is, you are the worst. You are the worst.
Starting point is 00:08:49 First, what was it? Scrumptilious cookies and you were like, I don't know how to spell that. It was scrumptious. Scrumptious cookies. You know how many Americans can't spell scrumptious? and now it's Kexie? Because it's in Finnish? Oh, well, there are so many catchphrases
Starting point is 00:09:03 in American that are Finnish for the love of Pete. Make it easy to find these cookies. Kexie cookies.com. It is easy. You just go there and you'll find them. And you spell it K-E-K-S-I. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Now, are you requiring diversity training for all of your attorneys? No, I'm not. Oh, my gosh. No, I'm not. I'm in. Are you going to start doing that at any time? You're going to be part of the Great Reset?
Starting point is 00:09:25 No, I'm not. Okay. No, I'm completely. against the great reset. Good, good, good. I'm glad. I'm glad. You're allowed to say you can eat cookies and Hanks Rup beer and that's all your food sustenance.
Starting point is 00:09:34 That sounds like a dream world to me. That sounds pretty good. It sounds pretty good. Like I have absolutely no problem with that dream world. Anybody join me on this? Yes. Absolutely not. Just like so we're clear.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I knew Stu wouldn't. Let me currently take a drink of Diet Coke right now. Do you have a line? You know, I think if Coca-Cola sponsored ISIS directly, I would think I would consider drinking less diet Coke. Really? But just the, if they even said, the red in our logo is the blood of Christians killed by ISIS, you'd still think about it. Well, I mean, I would no longer buy caffeine-free diet Coke. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:23 In that circumstance, that line I've already drawn. New Coke, you're out. I just, you know, and I, I know, look, we've talked about this a million times. And I know you're really sincere here. I think it's a, it's a tough thing to do in this world, right? Like, because you, because as we point out, there are every single thing that you do has people that disagree with you strongly and has come and have, are backed by companies that totally disagree with you. I mean, like, if you, if you find some amazing, uh, company that you want to do business with, probably all their suppliers are doing these types of things. So they're selling all.
Starting point is 00:10:57 their product to the product that you're buying. But you can do things like if you have a 401K, if you have any kind of money that is invested in the stock market, most likely you're a shareholder of Coca-Cola. Probably true. I mean, Coca-Cola is a big company and solid. It's probably in a portfolio of yours if you're buying a bunch of companies in a mutual fund.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Get Coca-Cola off your, sell your stock. Sell your stock. I mean, you could still, I guess, use their product, but I refuse. I'm not going to. I can't continue to go down this road. And there's lots of things. What am I going to do? I can't cut out all the entertainment in my life.
Starting point is 00:11:43 And there is just no real entertainment that doesn't come from Hollywood. You know, it's getting better, but we're 10 or 15 years away from a real replacement. for these things. So I haven't given up, you know, on some of these things. I've given up on certain shows. I've given up on certain things. But I just can't, I can't, but this I can do. Yeah, I mean, look, you could do what makes you feel like you're, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:10 what makes you feel good, basically, right? I mean, that's really what this comes down to. There's no way to actually avoid all the products of people and ideas that you disagree with. I mean, you're, you're addicted to your iPad. Like, when you think Apple doesn't have this policy? Of course they do. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Ice cream is a really good. example of that, all of the premium ice creams, except for the ones we've been talking about from Brookers, Brookers ice cream, they're all raging progressives. Yes. You know, the Ben and cherries of the world and those brands in Ohio, I forget what her name is, but they're all big time progresses. I will tell you. It's hard.
Starting point is 00:12:45 It's hard. Brookers' founder's ice cream is just so good. Yeah. And it's now only available, you know, by shipping. but that just became available like a few weeks ago, didn't it? Yeah. How do you get it?
Starting point is 00:12:59 Brookersicecream.com. It is so good. Click on the nation ship nationwide. They won't let me invest. I've asked them to invest. Oh, really? Yeah, I've asked Pat, let me invest in your company. Nope.
Starting point is 00:13:10 No. Well, Brookers, let me invest. Nope. Just like you're avoiding Coca-Cola, he's avoiding you. I mean, he's like, we're, we've got our lines, Glenn. That's the line we sell not cross. All right. don't forget about Pat Gray Unleash.
Starting point is 00:13:24 It's available on the Blaze. And, of course, Kexi cookies. What is it? Keksy K-E-K-K-S-I. Mm-hmm. You can search for it. Do that. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:13:40 This revolution brought to you by Facebook. We're glad that you're here today. I want to talk to you about a song that has taken on a whole new meaning to me. I've been listening to, um, Hello darkness, my old friend. And I've always liked that song, Sound of Silence. But my son turned me on to the version by Disturbed. And you should hear this.
Starting point is 00:14:09 The way he sings it is completely different. And it took on new meaning because of some things that have been going on in my life with my family. But I've been doing a little bit of research just on what does this song mean? We've all sung it a million times. What does it really mean? What Paul Simon wrote is a warning about these times. What he wrote was what the hippies used to believe in.
Starting point is 00:14:54 What all of these people said, Hey, this is going to turn into a problem. And people like me for years dismissed them and said, come on, it's never going to be that way. And now it is. What he was talking about was a brave new world. I want you to listen to the lyrics here, and I can't play them without any kind of real restrictions. So I'm just going to read them to you.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Hello, darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again. He's alone. He feels alone. Important. He's talking to the empty darkness. He says, because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while I was sleeping. Have you ever had a dream that you just can't shake? Where it's with you all day?
Starting point is 00:15:54 And you're just like, oh, man, that's what he's talking about. I had a vision softly creeping left its seed while I was sleeping. And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains within the sound of silence. In the restless dreams I walked alone. Narrow streets of cobblestones neath the halo of a street lamp. I turned my collar to the cold and damp when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night and touched the sound of silence. What does that mean? He's walking alone again.
Starting point is 00:16:47 He has no one to talk to. He's completely alone. Everything is abandoned. He's walking down the street at night and a neon sign stabs his eyes and touches the sound of silence. What is the neon sign? Is it just flashing bar? Cocktails? What is it?
Starting point is 00:17:15 You'll understand by the end. And in the naked light, I saw. This is the light of the neon sign and in the naked light I saw 10,000 people maybe more. He was alone on the street, but the neon sign it flashes and he sees 10,000 people maybe more. Listen to this. People talking without speaking. People hearing without listening. People writing songs that voices never share. and no one dared disturb the sound of silence. In the naked light of that sign, people were talking. No one was listening.
Starting point is 00:18:12 People were talking, but they weren't really speaking. They weren't, it was nonsense. They were talking about things that didn't matter. And nobody was listening to each other. And there were a few that were writing songs. but no one would ever sing those. They were never going to be sung. Because no one dared disturb the sound of silence.
Starting point is 00:18:40 What is the sound of silence? And what does it have to do with the neon sign? Fools, said I, you do not know. Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you. Take my arms that I might reach you. But my words, like silent raindrops, fell and echoed in the well of silence. And then the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they had made.
Starting point is 00:19:27 And the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming. And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the sun. subway walls and tenement halls. What? Now I find out what the neon sign says, and it says the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls. What the hell is he even talking about? And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they had made. Wait a minute. What does a neon sign do? A neon sign draws your eyes away from everything. and it advertises. And this sign was advertising that the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Well, when you hear the phrase written on the subway walls and you've ever been to New York, at least lately, that means spray paint. That's not what he's talking about. The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls. He was talking about advertisement. He was talking about giant corporations that were controlling everything. and were making it so wonderful, so comfortable, that no one was even talking to each other anymore. Everyone was talking nonsense, and he was standing there saying, people wake up, and no one would.
Starting point is 00:21:12 And those words of the prophets were whispered in the sound of silence. Paul Simon saw in his generation, he saw the things and stood against the things my grandfather didn't understand. My grandfather said, you know, they're all hippies. Well, no, no, some of them, grandpa have a good point. Some of them are just dope smoking, orgy-loving hippies. but a lot of them saw problems with the 1950s and the 1960s, and they wanted to change society. And some of them were really quite smart.
Starting point is 00:22:08 But it seems as though those people have completely sold out because maybe they became rich. And now they're in charge of the machine. Now they're writing the words on the subway walls. Now they're in charge of the neon. sign and they are demanding that people talk without speaking, people hear without listening. And anyone who writes a song that doesn't go with the neon sign, no voice is going to share that song. What was true then is true today, unless you choose to dare break and disturb the sound of silence.
Starting point is 00:23:01 this is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Harry Dent, the author of Zero Hour, an economist who I think has called many things in the last 20 years, even longer than that, 30 years, really right on the money. Harry, welcome. How are you? Oh, see back, Glenn. So I want to talk to you a little bit about GameStop because, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:32 I've been saying that the system has been gamed. for a long time. I mean, when, you know, George Bush had to violate the free market to save the free market, and we bailed all these banks out, et cetera, et cetera, and then we just continue to do it. You and I talked about in what, 2019, you said in the spring, something will happen and the stock market will fall and the economy will totally change. It was COVID. That was that something that happened. and you've been right. Now, what does this mean, this game stop thing? Some people say it's the beginning of the end and it's a real revolution.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Some people say it was no big deal. Some people say that it is going to change and the oligarchs are going to rule because of this. Well, you know, I see it more on the revolution cycle because we're in a very important cycle like the American revolution that brought in democracy and, and knock down the monarchs for the first time. Before that, it was the Protestant Revolution that took down the all-powerful Catholic Church of the time. I think it's the central banks going down this time,
Starting point is 00:24:44 and I cannot wait. Because this whole GameStop thing only happens in an environment, I call the markets on crack. So people think the insiders are manipulated in market, a poll just so 66% of people, insiders are manipulating the market, well, it's worse than that.
Starting point is 00:25:02 It starts with the Federal Reserve in central banks. They've been pumping money nonstop. Now, you've got to real minute. This is not lowering interest rates and inducing people to borrow a little more. This is literally putting trillions of dollars, direct, created out of nowhere, into the markets, which means now more, more money chasing the same financial assets that pushes them up.
Starting point is 00:25:23 But that's not all because they say we're going to constantly buy these bonds, which pushes down long-term and short-term rates. That means bonds go up. Oh, and that's not. means stocks go up. So the traders, the big traders, the real manipulators, see, oh, my gosh, now we can leverage even more. And, oh, because we know the direction Fed's going to push stuff, and we're not going to see downturns for long, it reduces their risk. Oh, and now it costs almost nothing with fake interest rate, zero rates, to finance this leverage. So what has been
Starting point is 00:25:56 happening? I've been saying this for years and you look too good. The big money, the hedge funds and the leverage traders, they throw their weight around. They have the best information. They know what everybody is doing. You, me, little traders, other funds, everything. And when they see people going in one direction, like bullish, they jump on it and they short. And the problem is, I don't mind that they short. Anybody should be able to go long or short. The problem is they can do it on high leverage with options and futures and literally just push a market down until the people that are long. capitulate. So they've been doing this for a long time. And I thought it's hard to do. Harry, what's really disturbing to me is, I mean, first of all, you're exactly right. The Fed has been
Starting point is 00:26:47 just, they call it investing. They have been dumping money into the stock market, which creates a bogus stock market. They are putting money in, not little people. And what happens is, when the Fed just starts to buy the stock market, the Fed has gone to advisors. Their advisors on who to invest in has been BlackRock. Well, now BlackRock, all of the heads of Black Rock, I think, except for one, are now in the Biden administration. The chief economic advisor for the president, Biden, is now Black Rock executive. the chief economic advisor for Kamala Harris is now a black rock executive.
Starting point is 00:27:38 The right-hand man for Yellen in the Treasury Department is a black rock guy. Even Goldman Sachs didn't have this. The former Fed chairman, which puts a Fed chairman and a Fed person in the Treasury. So, yeah, we got everything locked towards endless stimulus, and this just invites leverage. So, again, Fed adds money to the market, pushing up prices. traders add a lot more leverage pushing up prices anymore. You know what the most important number in the economy right now, Glenn? Nobody's talking about it.
Starting point is 00:28:09 $520 trillion in financial assets globally, 6.2 times global GDP at $84 million and way more than money and everything else. This is the biggest bubble. It's worse than the debt bubble at $253 trillion. See, in a normal economy, a growth economy, debt might be one and a half times GDP. and financial assets might be two, two and a half. Now there's 6.2 debts over three times.
Starting point is 00:28:37 This is the greatest bubble, but the bubble now, because the central banks use quantitative easing, putting the money in, as you were saying, this is what's created the financial asset bubble. This is a bigger monster than the debt bubble, and that can de-leverage and disappear money even faster than the debt-de-leveraging. So these guys are creating a monster
Starting point is 00:28:56 that's going to kick them very hard. think it's coming literally in weeks or months. No more than that. So I did a report back in 2006 or 7 when I was on CNN and I did a monologue on the money bubble. I said, look, the housing bubble is coming and it's going to burst and it's going to be ugly. And then here's what's going to happen. And they've done all of those things. And I said at the end of that monologue, before the house,
Starting point is 00:29:30 housing market bubble. I said the next bubble is going to be the money bubble or the everything bubble. Everything will be put in and grossly abused and then everything comes down. Do you agree with that? Yes. Yes. And that everything comes down by history. I'm the guy that said he's history and what actually happens is that ideology. Okay. At least 40 to 50% of those financial assets will disappear forever. That $200 to $250 trillion, $2.5 to three times global GDP is going to disappear. And if that's not going to cause a recession, Glenn, that's called a depression when you have that much deleveraging. And of course, then the debt de-leverages. A lot of economic experts say, well, we kind of handled some of the debt stuff last time. That's not going to be as bad. No, no,
Starting point is 00:30:23 the debt will de-leverage. It's this bubble that's going to de-leverage first and trigger the debt-de-leveraging. And the whole thing comes down. Glenn, I can see nothing other than something like 29 to 32 coming in the next two to three years. But that'll be it. We've been in this slow season. Unless we go to the Great Reset. I mean, are you following what they're doing in Davos with the World Economic Forum? I don't even follow those guys.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Oh, you have to. The Great Reset is happening here in America. It is. It's incredible what they're doing. And I think they, you know, they're all just banning together for the build back better campaign, which is not a Joe Biden campaign. That's the world economic forum. And all these prime ministers and world leaders are using it. And it is to, I think it's the biggest theft of wealth in all of human history.
Starting point is 00:31:20 But you know, this bubble bursting, though, it's a good thing in the 29 to 32 crash. It was horrible. But we eliminated about. 40 to 50% of the private debt, which was off the charts back then. We got rid of a lot of zombie companies. You know, 19% of public companies, these aren't small businesses. Public companies, large public company, can't even pay their debt service. And they keep limping along with this liquidity.
Starting point is 00:31:46 GameStop goes up and down, you know, 482 points down to 112 in one day because there's so much liquidity that hedge funds can short it big time and knock it down. And then now small traders, which is a really great. great thing, had banded together and say, look, we're sick of you guys beating on us. They shoved those shorts up these guys and they lost $5 billion in a matter of days, Melbourne Capital and some other hedge funds because they did the same thing. When these guys were heavily short on high margin, they just bought and pushed the stocks up to force them to cover their shorts and lose money and push the stock up. So Harry, so Harry, let me let me, let me, let me, let me, let me,
Starting point is 00:32:28 take you here because I'm really torn on this because I think that look I think you should be able to go long I think you should be able to bet that a company is going to go down go short and you should be able to use your money but that's not what they really do they borrow they have all kinds of devices that the average person doesn't have and so when the Reddit people got on they looked at that and said they're 40% more than all of the shares these guys are just pigs at the They're not even thinking. They're just money, money, money, money, money. So I have no problem.
Starting point is 00:33:05 I have no problem with them figuring that out. But what I'm concerned about is a foreign country could come in and leverage the stock market and play these games. Should we have any kind of rules here for this or just leave it alone and let the system be what it is? Absolutely. Free market capitalism does not work without. rules but they need to be simple simple rule you do not have margin and and leveraged investing except to hedge commercial all these options and futures and margin was so legitimate companies that need to deliver or purchase things in the
Starting point is 00:33:44 future investments or commodities can hedge that and guarantee the price at a small cost and they need margin and options to do that it should not be used for what I call I'm calling what you just described predatory investment You see people leaning in one direction and you just come down and dive bomb them until they capitulate and sell and then you turn around and buy. That is not good for the markets. And again, hedge funds have been doing this big money forever. Now the small traders are doing the other end and they're actually teaching the hedge fund. You better be careful next time you do this because we're now watching you and doing the same thing.
Starting point is 00:34:23 But the problem is this creates this on both sides. You would eliminate all this stupid stuff if you didn't allow leveraged investing, just you'd go short or long. Leverage is only for legitimate hedgers and not for predatory investing. So, Harry, what does this mean, you know, 29 to 33 kind of crash? You say coming in the next 45 days or so. And I've heard others say exactly the same thing. What does that mean for the average person, like the banks? your loans? Can they call them in? What does that mean? What's going to happen to the Homer Simpson's
Starting point is 00:35:03 of the country? Okay. First thing, it hits the rich, the hardest. So that's the good news for everyday people. But every day, what happens, these assets will go down, businesses will fail, loans will fail. That means, and then businesses will lay off workers and people will be foreclosed on. Real estate will go down 30 to 50 percent. Stocks will go down to 90. So most people don't have to, have a lot of assets. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You say stocks will go down 90%? Yeah, 89% is what happened, 29 to 32. That was just simply a long debt bubble deleveraging. It's the most powerful downturns. This, Glenn, this is what causes depressions instead of recessions. Recessions are cleaning out companies in ordinary debt. These are bursting major
Starting point is 00:35:50 bubbles and it's always ugly. So you have to get out of the way. The best thing, okay, real quick, get out of all leveraged assets, you know, stocks, real estate that you can, and do not get out of a loan. Do not pay back a loan because when loans fail this time, they're not going to be able to bail out the banks like last time. That didn't work. That's not going to be even possible. And you may get your mortgage written down 40 or 50 percent down to market this time. Which is what they should have done last time called mark to market. They should mark to market and they suspended that. See, that's why these things are good. These debts get written down at the expense of the banks.
Starting point is 00:36:31 These financial bubbles go down at the expense of the rich and the traders and stuff. The everyday person may lose their job for a couple months or more and maybe have some foreclosures. But they end up coming out the winners when mortgages are more affordable again and they can invest for the future. Why do you think they'll return to, why do you think they'll return to, why do you think they'll return to mark to market when they didn't do it the last time. And that was what they always did. But okay, I said it earlier. They created a bigger, but to save the debt bubble from deleveraging and the banks with it, they started quantitative easing, it only worked with driving up assets. So they kept doubling down on that. This financial asset monster is bigger than the
Starting point is 00:37:15 central bank. Remoddy said, 6.2 times GDP. When this, the next phase of this, you should notice, Every stock crash since the peak in January, early 2018, which is the beginning of this crashing process, every crash has gone to lower lows after a higher high. And the next crash is due to be 45 to 50 percent. And that's when the central banks lose control. It goes down so much that people say, well, wait a minute. You keep pumping in money. You keep saving it. And we keep going lower.
Starting point is 00:37:49 There's something wrong here. And they lose their credibility. I think central banks are going to go down like the Catholic Church and the monarchs did in the past two major. I don't. I mean, in a way, I hope you're right about, you know, what they're going to do about it. I just don't think they're going to. I just think they're going to try to. I don't think they're going to have a choice, Glenn, when you fail.
Starting point is 00:38:10 They're going to try to consolidate globally. They're going to make it bigger than it is now. They can't do it. This is bigger than them. How can they control a 520 trillion? monster where, as we observed in February, March of last year, stocks alone dropped 40% globally in five weeks. That was like 40 trillion hit to the global economy right there.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Okay, then they pop again, but there's a point where you keep doing this, and it keeps going lower every time. There is a point where it is seen as a failure and not a success. People still think the central banks are saving the economy. No, they're creating twice as big a bubble as we had in 2000. and seven, and they will lose control. All bubbles go out of control because you can't keep doubling everything every several years and without it finally blowing, even without a trigger. And COVID is the perfect trigger because, Glenn, we have gotten back 80% V. The other 20% we don't get back. There's
Starting point is 00:39:12 many industries, travel entertainment, a lot of retail that is not coming. We're not going to get back to normal. And yet the stock market's priced like we're going to have the greatest boom in history. We'll say, in the phone, all the world can be a guy of the finance. Not a reason
