Rough Greens, RUFF Greens.com slash Beck, 833, 833, 833, GLEANN, 33, or Rough Greens.com slash Beck.
Starting point is 00:04:21 All right, let me give you just a real quick update. Moscow, the stocks, bonds, derivatives are going to remain closed today. trading on the Moscow exchange stocks and derivative sections. It took a beating yesterday. The Russian Central Bank yesterday extended the suspension of trading amid a full-blown financial crisis triggered by Western sanctions. The ruble tumbled to a record low in extreme volatility yesterday. Could somebody bring me? Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:05:04 It lost a third of its value. Can you imagine? In one day? In one day. You know, this is worse, I guess, than the 1998 crash of the ruble. Imagine having, you know, $10,000 in the bank account. And all of a sudden, you only have the purchasing power of seven or six or five or four thousand. Who knows where this goes?
Starting point is 00:05:24 And so they have closed all of the banks. You can't do anything. This is, look how fast this is. Look how fast this has come. Friday, your ruble was fairly okay. By Monday, you lost 30% and all the banks closed. You can't get your money out of the banks now. This is why I have recommended, please, please have seven days of cash on hand.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Whatever it's going to take, whatever you would spend in seven days, try to have that amount in cash on hand. if you're fortunate enough to be able to do it, have 30 days of cash on hand. Now, some other things that are going on, they are starting to spray paint. The Russians are starting to spray paint symbols on buildings on the roof. And they are now asking for Ukrainians to go up, if you're in an apartment building or condominium or whatever, to go up and check the roof of the building to see if yours has been spray painted with a giant. Red X. Mercenaries now from Africa with orders to kill Zelensky are now in Kiev.
Starting point is 00:06:36 400 Russian operatives have been deployed to kill the president of Ukraine. The assassins are part of apparently the Wagner group, a militia flown into Ukraine from Africa five weeks ago. They were offered a handsome financial bonus if they succeeded. This is according to the times of London. They are very effective because they're hard to pin down, said General Sir Richard Barron's. He said, they can appear from the shadows, do very violent things, and disappear again without being obvious who was responsible. They are also not directly linked to the Russian government.
Starting point is 00:07:20 therefore the Kremlin has plausible deniability. One other thing that I want to hit here, Russians are now suspected of using cluster bombs, which we use on the battlefield. If you saw the last episode of James Bond, that was a cluster bomb that they used at the ending. I don't want to spoil, but they used a cluster bomb at the ending.
Starting point is 00:07:47 And we use them. We don't use them in civilian areas. It is only for troops or, you know, munitions. We never use them because you can't direct them. They just, they break up into several little bombs that just fly in all directions. They apparently are using that now in civilian areas. That's against the Geneva Convention. Also, they're talking about a vacuum.
Starting point is 00:08:20 bomb. I had never heard of a vacuum bomb or a thermobaric bomb before. Had to look it up and I realized we call them fuel air bombs. Fuel air bombs are absolutely terrifying bombs. Also, well, they were, let's just say this. First used by the Nazis. Okay. So it's great. Anyway, against the Geneva Convention, they vaporize everything, everything. in the area. They're used, like if you had to, if you had a camp, you know, an Ebola camp, you know, for kids over, you know, the holidays, you know, and hey, it's summer, let's go to Ebola camp. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:09:02 If you have like Ebola breakout and everybody is dead, you would want to use a fuel air bomb because it kills everything, absolutely everything. It explodes in the air, shoots fuel out, you know, large area horizontally, and then it ignites. And what it does is it not only incinerates everything below it. It also sucks all of the oxygen out of the area. You don't, if you're not vaporized, but you're close enough to it, you spend a couple of minutes on the ground.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Your eardrums probably have been blown out. you're you've probably gotten a severe concussion and then you spend the next couple of minutes gasping for air until you die and suffocate. They are awful. Let me play cut. I think it's cut 11. Is it not of the bomb?
Starting point is 00:10:04 Here's what they think may be a fuel air bomb or a thermobaric rocket. Peace, no, man. probably at least a couple of miles away, knocked off his feet. He can't even keep the camera straight. And now he shows this huge cloud. Huge cloud.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Huge cloud. That they think is a thermobaric bomb. If that is true, that is against the Geneva Convention. Now, one thing that you have to understand, everybody is trying to get us into, a war. I think Russia is even trying to snag us into a war. I think he wants World War III. The Ukrainians are doing what I think we would do if we were in trouble. We would show everything that they're doing and we would say that looks like a thermobaric bomb. That's against the Geneva Convention. Whether it is
Starting point is 00:11:20 or not, we don't know for sure. When in doubt, leave it out. If you are trying to make a huge decision on what side you're on, I think we're all on the side of the Ukrainian people, but what side you're on and the debate on how far this should go, what we should be doing, don't let things that we don't know. For instance, there was a, there was a Ukrainian guy got up in front of the UN and read that letter yesterday. Did you see that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Okay, we don't know if that's true. And quite honestly, you know, the Russian soldier going, and they're just indiscriminately telling us to kill women and children. Come on. We don't know if that's true. That's awfully, awfully damning if it is true. I mean, it's a gift to the Ukrainians, if that were true. When in doubt, leave it out.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Yeah, you have to. go into this with some skepticism. We've seen multiple stories, right? Yeah. You know, like the, the idea that those guys on the island all died, remember after the attack and that didn't happen. The guy, the plane that was taking out five and six Russian aircraft per day, the ghost of Ukraine, of Kiev.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Yeah. Yeah, that doesn't seem to be real. Look, this stuff's going to happen. Some of it is just propaganda. You have to wonder, you look at this, though. Have we heard one positive thing about? Russia and their progress? No. No, right?
Starting point is 00:12:53 Basically from the media no. Now, there's no justification for this war in my mind, and I'm totally on the side of Ukraine. However, you have to imagine good things are probably happening for Russia in their progress here. We're not hearing much about it. We're only hearing about the Ukrainian
Starting point is 00:13:10 heroes, which are there, and they exist, and that's real. But, you know, let's just make sure you understand. We're only getting one side. This is new. We've never done anything like this, except maybe World War II. But even then, I don't think it was this lockdown in the 30s. Maybe when we were at war.
Starting point is 00:13:40 But you heard both sides of the war, you know, leading up to it. We're not. We're not. I don't think there are both sides as to, whether the war should happen. I'm saying you would hear things that Russia, I'm sorry, that the, you know, Germans were rounding up all the Jews and then you would hear, no, that wasn't happening. Right, right. It was not one-sided.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Yeah, it is, it is pretty interesting. I mean, I think you listen to the tone of the coverage from the mainstream media, you would think Ukraine is, is about to just chase them out of the country. Like, they're on, they're retreating. Yeah, but the other side of that is, I mean, there was a 40-mile convoy. right. Yeah. Coming from Belarus and the reports today are the second largest city is surrounded. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:27 And it is, it's about to get ugly. What they're bringing with them seems to be very ugly. Putin may be upping the ante here. And I think the pushback from Ukraine, which has been more fierce than maybe was expected by Putin, can't stand that. Is going to cause them to become, they're not going to be like, ah, darn it. they're fighting back, let's go home.
Starting point is 00:14:50 They're going to say, oh, they're fighting back. Oh, yeah. Well, wait till you see what we have next. And that's what you're seeing with the cluster bombs and the hyperbaric bombs. And you also need to understand that if Putin gets worse, you're going to start seeing horrors on television. You're going to start seeing a lot of dead people and dead children and everything else. All right. Let me take a quick one minute break.
Starting point is 00:15:18 And then I'm going to talk to you about how the world has changed overnight in dramatic ways. And it's important for you to understand. And I'll give it to you here in 60 seconds. Megan Kelly is coming up in about 10 minutes. Stand by for that. Patriot Mobile is our sponsor. It's time to admit to yourself. You are paying far too much for your cell phone service.
Starting point is 00:15:43 It's okay. Been there. Done that. We all have. under normal circumstances. I mean, you do you, boo. But here's the thing. Chances are, is you are with one of the major phone companies,
Starting point is 00:15:56 and you are also then helping support leftist causes, things like Planned Parenthood. That is, that's not good. I don't want to do that. That is why I have switched to Patriot Mobile. In fact, I bought a phone just so I could be a member of Patriot Mobile. and support them. I love these guys.
Starting point is 00:16:18 They are on the front lines all the time. Stu, remind me, you have to tell the Patriot Mobile story about you in local schools. Yeah, yeah. They're working behind the scenes. They're not even, you know, promoting this stuff. They're working behind the scenes to make sure that these school boards aren't going crazy. It's a great company. They're amazing.

Starting point is 00:17:05 Let me talk to you here about what has happened just over the last handful of days. I mean, really, this happened beginning over the weekend. Europe is no longer in their post-Cold War era and that kind of state of mind. It is happening at such a rapid pace. we're not really sure what's happening at this point. The people who have always been, you know, saying Russia, Russia, Russia, most of Europe has not listened to them for a long time, especially those in Eastern Europe who have been campaigning for tougher measures against the Kremlin.
Starting point is 00:17:45 They have been ignored by almost everybody, Germany, Italy, France. no other region other than Europe has overturned its foreign policy die hard orthodoxies like they have in a heartbeat in Europe. The German Chancellor has declared that he will vastly increase his country's defense spending and start shipping arms to Ukraine. I really don't like it when Germany says, you know what, we've got to start building arms. kind of makes me nervous.
Starting point is 00:18:21 The top leader in the German Green Party. Now, this is the Green Party. Where did that start? Anti-Nuke, right? Not an anti-nuk-like missiles. Anti-nuclear energy. They have just declared an openness to keeping the nuclear plants operating in Germany if it helps reduce reliance on Russian energy.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Oh, okay. Huh. Okay. Eight member nations of the European Union said they now wanted to start membership negotiations with Ukraine. European Commission President Ursula von von der Leyen said she'd be open to it. On Monday, Ukrainian President Zelensky formally sent an application to Brussels. It is an end of an era, said former Estonian president, who once was dismissed by Finnish leaders as having post-Soviet stress. for his approach on Russia. What you have grown up with in the last 30 years, he said, is over.
Starting point is 00:19:29 We are now somewhere else. I want you just to hear that message. We are no longer living in the world. And if you are planning to win an election, your freedom or anything, and you think we are still living in the post-Soviet world, we are not. Everything has changed. In the early 1900s, there were three big schools of thought, especially in Europe. There was national socialism, fascism, international socialism, communism, and liberal
Starting point is 00:20:11 progressivism, individual social rights with collectivist economic ideas. in America we had all of these except we had another one classical liberalism which is the conservative voice at this point that was the dominant voice in much of the U.S. The 20th century has been dominated by those ideas Nazis and Soviets went to war because they couldn't agree on what kind of socialism was it state socialism or international socialism was it internationalist or nationalist Today, the ideological battle in most of the world is not between those who support individual liberty and those who support big government. We feel this way in America, but you must wake up. This is the debate in America because we still have tens of millions of people who believe in free markets and individual liberty, but they don't have. they don't have that in Europe. The rest of the world is debating international fascism, which is the Great Reset,
Starting point is 00:21:25 and national fascism, which is China and Russia. Still progressives in Europe, but they aren't leading the charge anymore. Putin and Dugan and President Z, they are nationalists. They see international fascism as a grave threat to their nationalistic plans for the future, good reason. Biden, Kerry, and much of the leaders in the EU, Soros, et cetera, et cetera, are globalist, internationalists who believe that any kind of nationalism will slow their progress. I don't know the driving factor what's going on in Ukraine, but it is a key component in international politics today and on many other issues, and I wouldn't rule out its connection.
Starting point is 00:22:15 to one of these movements. I don't know. Here's the, here's the scary part. If either of those two win, we lose freedom. Understand this is the battle that you are actually fighting. International socialism or national socialism. The Great Reset. The Great Reset.
Starting point is 00:22:45 or China's system, one of the two. Which one are we going to choose? I hope the answer is neither. I'll have more on this in the third hour that is quite stunning the developments on this and how it's all playing out. But first, Megan Kelly on Putin next. The Glenn Back program. I want you to think about something for a minute. If you're not as self-reliant as you can possibly be, the chances are you're going to regret it in the near future.
Starting point is 00:23:20 And those odds are pretty high. I don't know if you've taken a look at the news lately, but it ain't pretty. And even some sort of Armageddon disaster, even if that's not right around the corner, which it might be. I'm starting to, it's still important that you're prepared for any kind of disaster that could happen. You owe it to yourself. You owe it to your family. So may I suggest that you get stocked up with emergency? food from my Patriot supply.
Starting point is 00:23:47 It is an easy way to prepare for anything and everything we might experience. Hopefully, we never have to use it. But I will tell you, odds are growing against that rapidly. Do yourself a favor. Go to prepare with glen.com. You'll save $150 on their special three-month emergency food kit. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, drink, snacks, 2,000 calories a day. is great.
Starting point is 00:24:16 $150 savings on their three-month emergency food kit. Go to preparewit glen.com. That's prepare with glen.com. Do you think this is a good time to understand the Great Reset? I might want to read The Great Reset by Glenn Beck. It's available at glensnewbook.com.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Available in stores now again. Oh, wow. You are seeing the Great Reset play out on a global scale with Russia. And Senator Wicker from, Where's he from Alabama, Mississippi? He just suggested that we enact no-fly zone and our planes police the air of. That's insanity.
Starting point is 00:25:07 He's suggesting a coalition do it, which we would be a part of. Okay, yeah, okay. So then the whole world is at war with Russia. That's great. That seems to be a bad idea. Yeah. Megan Kelly is joining us, a journalist host of the Megan Kelly show. You can hear it on XM Sirius or Sirius XM Triumph Channel 111, which is right after this program.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Megan, welcome. How are you? Hi, Glenn. I'm doing great. So you are one of the few people that have sat down with Putin a couple of times. And I don't, there's something missing here. He has either a brain tumor or he is. playing for something different because Putin is way too smart. He knows what this is going to cost
Starting point is 00:26:01 his country. What is he doing? Well, I do think that he's underestimated the Ukrainians and Zelensky, and that's not like him. That's a fault in his step, which we are not used to seeing. And I haven't, I interviewed him three times, but I haven't sat with him since 2018. And the reports are that over COVID and the isolation, he may have gone a little bonkers. I think it was the foreign minister of UK who kind of said exactly that. I have no idea whether that's true, but he's obviously misstepped here. He's underestimated the Ukrainians and he's underestimated the world response. And what he's getting as a result is exactly what he least wanted.
Starting point is 00:26:47 A stronger NATO, more countries wanting to be a part of NATO, more countries wanting to be a part of the EU, including Ukraine, and an international coalition that's unified against him, not to mention what's happening to his economy as a result of all this. So you would agree that he is a bloodthirsty killer, wouldn't you? Well, of course. I mean, his past demonstrates, I mean, I don't know about bloodthirsty, but he's certainly a killer.
Starting point is 00:27:15 And, you know, the thing about Putin is, I'll say this, not in his defense, but just to contextualize who he is, he lives in a very rough neighborhood, and he grew up during a very different time. And the way Russia's been run has essentially been, you're a strong man or you die. And there's a reason he's stayed in power so long, because he understands it's a coprocy. And if he leaves power, he'll be killed or he'll go to jail. And that the Russian people, for the most part, respect the strong man. They want to see that.
Starting point is 00:27:48 They don't want to necessarily seek murders, but they, want the strong man. They've been raised in a different way than we have. But Putin, above all, I mean, having spent a fair amount of hours with the guy, is manipulative and cunning. And he is brilliant. He's very smart. Right. To praise him out of context, I understand what he's doing. But he usually is five steps ahead of everyone else in the room, which is why it is so shocking to see this going the way it's going. I mean, he certainly could have unleashed hell on the Ukrainian from day one and taken them out. So I think he understood this should be incremental in some way,
Starting point is 00:28:26 but he didn't plan for losing the PR war. That's something he never loses. He's losing the PR war in a way that's extraordinary because he normally has his bots. I mean, you want to talk about control. He controls the Internet the way we have to fully appreciate. So the fact that Zelensky's even able to get out these videos, these sort of lionhearted videos that are making the world swoon,
Starting point is 00:28:47 is remarkable. That Putin couldn't stop it is remarkable. So much of Ukraine has a Russian internet company. I mean, almost all of Ukraine is Russian. Why wouldn't he have not? It's just something doesn't feel right to me, Megan. Because I, I, when, when Trump says, you know, he's a genius or whatever he's been saying, I agree. He is.
Starting point is 00:29:17 He's also evil. But he is a genius. and he, this is just not feeling right coming from him. The thing about, I wrestle with that term evil. People ask me that when I went over there to interview him. I don't put him in the field of someone like an Adolf Hitler who enjoyed the killing, enjoyed torture, did it because he had no humanity. I think Putin has some humanity.
Starting point is 00:29:47 He's just goal-oriented in a way that's, He has no caring for human life. It's not like he's concerned about any of these Ukrainians, but he's mission-focused. I think he thinks net net in the grand scheme, this is just, this is right. And so everything he's done till now, till the actual invasion, has made some strategic sense from a man who wants to rebuild the USSR, who thinks, you know, the collapse of the Soviet Union is the biggest calamity of the 20th century. it hasn't been a surprise that he's done mini power grabs, what he did in Georgia, what he did in Crimea, and he's very angry about what the United States did
Starting point is 00:30:27 when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State in Ukraine. So I understood some incremental moves. I didn't support them, but I understood what he was doing. The full invasion, which would turn the world against him in a way that was somewhat predictable, is the thing that doesn't make sense, and I agree with your assessment on that. There must be something going on that we're missing.
Starting point is 00:30:47 So he's being pushed closer and closer to China. They already are, you know, just made a deal on coal from Russia to China. The alliances are starting to stack up. What should we do? I mean, we're hearing crazy things like, hey, let's enforce a no-fly zone. That puts us in direct war with Russia. Yeah, that's right. I understand why people are having that reaction.
Starting point is 00:31:21 It's tugging at people's heartstrings, you know, across the globe. And you get reports of civilian casualties and even children dying and us being the United States of America. The instinct has always been. Right. We're the good guys. Go help them. Right. Go help them.
Starting point is 00:31:35 And honestly, Glenn, if we hadn't done Iraq and done 20 years of Afghanistan, maybe we'd be doing that. Right. Maybe we would have had some resolve to go in there. the American people are not just war-weary. We are war-weary. But we've lost faith in our military leaders. Remember when Trump came out and he was like, I'm smarter than the generals? And people were like, oh, my God. Like who would criticize the generals this way? And I don't know who's smarter. But my point is, his attempt to undermine them was right on point. Because they have proven time and time again, they're not very good at this. We haven't won a war in decades. And we're
Starting point is 00:32:14 certainly not prepared for extended conflicts. We've proven that. The guys at the top, like Millie, do you trust him? No. Handle this? No. And right? No one does. No. I think the instinct here in our country is dead on, which is we would like to help them whatever way we can, short of getting involved in another military conflict, which we no longer believe we can successfully run. Well, especially not just because of Millie and what happened in Afghanistan. But because I mean, you know, the polls are showing, what is it, 59% of independence say that they don't think Biden has the mental capacity. And I don't say that with glee.
Starting point is 00:32:53 I actually say that with profound sadness and worry for him and our own country. We've watched him over the last year. He's not the same man he was even 12 months ago. and to process this kind of information 24-7, I'm not sure we have a president that's up to it. Yeah, I don't think anyone knows who's really calling the shots right now at the White House. Isn't that a problem? I can see that we're not leading.
Starting point is 00:33:27 I can see that Europe is galvanizing in a way that we haven't seen in 75 years and that the United States is not the leader in any way. We're not organizing it. He's on a couple of conference calls, but we're not out in front of this, even when it comes to the economic sanctions, though I'm sure we'll hear a different story from him tonight. But I also think that the American people, I think it's the same number, 9% believe that it was Joe Biden's weakness that got us to this point. It's not to blame Putin's behavior on Joe Biden or America. It's to contextualize what made him think he could get away with this. Sure.
Starting point is 00:34:02 And, you know, it involves a lot of things. but yes, our economic situation, our inflational situation, which is absolutely in part on Joe Biden, are unnecessary infighting and hyper-focused on things that mean absolutely nothing but are totally divisive, like CRT and men swimming against women in, you know, swim meets, all of those things, which Putin 100% has amplified. I mean, if there's one thing I learned in meeting with former FBI, CIA, and other intel guys before I went over there, the few times I did to interview him, it's that forget Russia gate. That's not the same as this. Putin did interfere in the election in a way where he was manipulating divisions online. The Chinese do it too. They see something that's already
Starting point is 00:34:44 dividing us and they amplify it nonstop. So that's Putin's dream to have us fighting over this nonsense that Biden's White House continues to stoke, you know, putting Nicole Hannah-Jones and K-12 education and, you know, all these things we see with parents that are making them show up at these school board meetings and they wind up getting dragged out with their naked stomachs exposed with absolutely no respect for human dignity. The Russians see that. They amplify it to their bots. They have systems that do it.
Starting point is 00:35:16 So all of that creates a divided United States that's already falling apart economically with no plan. I mean, if Biden had gotten BBB through, can you imagine the situation we'd be in right now? Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Right? Joe Mets baked him from himself. They love it.
Starting point is 00:35:32 And Putin accurately smelled weakness. Megan, have you ever experienced a time in American history where you know you don't believe the Russians? I know I don't believe Putin. I know I don't believe the Russian press. However, I don't think I believe our press either. In fact, I know I don't. I was last week, I was driving in the car. I was listening, I'm like, I don't know if that's true.
Starting point is 00:36:05 And for the first time I realized, I have no place to go on this story to where I feel like I'm getting the honest word. Because both, I mean, we're silencing voices who have any kind of opposing opinion on this. And I don't think there's any ambiguity on, you know, The Ukrainian people are the good ones, but I don't trust any government at all in this. Is it just me? It's not just you. And I think it's been coming for a while. And I think most of us experienced it at the beginning of COVID as well.
Starting point is 00:36:49 I mean, I'll go back to a tweet I sent out last, it was March, I think, of 2020 when COVID was just unfolding. And Trump gave a presser at the White House, which was all over the place. And he had to clean it up. his people did 15 minutes later. He was saying we were imposing a travel ban on the Europeans, we weren't, and so on. And I remember tweeting out after that press are saying, I don't know where to go for real information. I don't trust him. And I don't trust the media because they smell blood in the water. This could be the one thing that would ruin Trump's reelection. And so they're pumping bad information to scare us and because they know it will
Starting point is 00:37:26 hurt him, which they 100% did. And all these blue check journalists, on Twitter, Glenn. I mean, guys I know from the New York Times and from NBC and started to DM me privately and say, how could someone in your position write such a thing? You don't trust the media. And then the next step, you don't trust the CDC. You don't trust the WHO. Those are places you go for information. And I remember saying then, no, I don't. I don't. And I was right. I don't trust any of those people. You know, we were misled by our leaders, by certainly, our public health officials, and 100% by our media who did use COVID to get rid of Trump. And to this day, continues to lie about COVID.
Starting point is 00:38:08 And we're in the same boat. We're in the exact same boat when it comes to this because the media has decided. I mean, I have to say in Glenn Greenwald's defense, he's right that the media's natural instinct is to be warhawks. Yes. It's the one area in which they're not bleeding heart liberals. They don't go sort of far left. They're, I think it's because they're elitists. They have a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:38:31 They don't want any lifestyle of their own compromised or threatened in any way. And they put themselves in this situation. But the media is very pro-war. So you do have to pump the brakes a little. And you hear things like no fly zones and ask yourself whether you're being given the right information. I will say this. I think the narrative about Zelensky is believable. I think this guy was a comedian.
Starting point is 00:38:57 He was a dancing with the stars guy. Nobody believes this guy was. going to be anything. We thought he'd all tuck tail and run, and he hasn't. And that is extraordinary. Yeah, I agree. Megan Kelly, I know you have a show to do right after this program on Sirius XM.

I have to share some tweets later on in the program from George Soros on Ukraine. Boy, he is a, he is on the Twitters like crazy. Is he?
Starting point is 00:41:07 Yeah. You wouldn't think that he would be a guy that would, you know, would even know what the Twitters are. but he does. His 14-year-old girlfriends, though, they know. They know. They do know. And he is very, very strong on what the West should be doing right now in Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:41:28 And holy cow, we better consider that because he doesn't have an ulterior motive. Or does he? I'll tell you all about it coming up. All right, American financing. It is time to start focusing, if you haven't already, on what you can do to show. shore up your finances, save money wherever you can. You should be saving money with your mortgage, with your credit cards, cut those things up, especially if they're high interest credit cards. If you can't seem to pay them off, well, if you have a mortgage, American financing may be able to help you.
Starting point is 00:42:12 I want you to call American financing now at 800906 2440, 800, 906, 2440. find ways to save money, pay less in interest to the banks and for those credit cards, pay them down, pay them off. It's American Financing, 8009062440, Americanfinancing.net. All right, radio program begins in just a second with Michael Schellenberger. Usually on this day, the president stands up and says the state of our union is strong. what is this guy going to say tonight? He's going to introduce a whole bunch of new green stuff because that's really, I mean, that's really where all of our hearts are right now
Starting point is 00:43:59 with green energy and saving the planet. We all believe that should be our first priority. You know, especially since it's going to cost you about $20 more to fill your tank here shortly. And the president is doing nothing. You know, I'm doing everything I can to save, you know, the price at the gas pump. No, you're not. No, you're not.
Starting point is 00:44:21 He just put new restrictions on building liquefied natural gas terminals in the United States. That way, we could liquefy it and sell it to Europe that needs it. We've canceled our oil and gas pipelines, such as Keystone XL. Gas drilling permits in Alaska, Texas, and other oil-rich states have been canceled. we were producing roughly 1.2 million more barrels of oil every day than we are right now under Trump. So we are losing at $100 million, I'm sorry, at $100 a barrel, and we are doing $1.2 million fewer barrels of oil. That means we are losing $100 million every day. 100 million dollars every day.
Starting point is 00:45:16 And you're paying more at the pump. Don't let this war or tonight's speech fool you. There's a war on your gas price, and it is headed by Joe Biden. We begin there in 60 seconds. So, you know, your home movies are already past their prime, because, of course, the magnetic tape. That tape used in VHS and camcorder tapes is supposed to last between 10 and 20 years. Believe it or not, the 90s, oh, this hurts, the 90s is now 30 years ago.

So let me just give you a couple of tweets. Russia has leveraged an economy half the size of Germany's to end the post-Cold War era and defeat NATO. It did so with aggression, natural gas, and nuclear. America must produce massively more nuclear, natural gas and oil, or the liberal democratic Western civilization is dead.
Starting point is 00:47:11 It's civilizational suicide. everyone has been asleep. It is time to wake up. That tweet is from Michael Schellenberger, who is on the phone with us now. Hi, Michael. How are you? So, you know, tonight with the State of the Union, they're going to go on and on. They can't pass the bill back better bill, so they're going to take all of the green energy stuff and rename it and try to pass it through. Can you please explain to the audience what you think these things are going to?
Starting point is 00:47:44 to do. The effect on the economy, potentially on the environment. I mean, we're in the worst energy crisis in world history since 1973, and it's going to get worse, much worse. And I don't think people are aware of just how serious the political situation is. We could see the president restrict oil exports, which might be justified in the future because of rising oil prices, but then that would put much of the world and much of Europe, it would strengthen Putin's hand to basically sell oil to those countries that were quiet about his invasion of Ukraine. We basically have engaged in wishful thinking
Starting point is 00:48:31 about trying to rely on weather-dependent renewables, solar panels and wind turbines specifically. When you need reliable sources of energy and the two best that we have are nuclear energy and natural gas. And both of those technologies have been so restricted by progressives that it left Europe dependent on Russia. And that's why Russia felt so comfortable invading Ukraine. One of your tweets, you said, imagine making our high-energy capitalist civilization work on energy sources that literally kept humans trapped in poverty for centuries,
Starting point is 00:49:11 renewables is the energy of serfs and slaves. Yeah, I don't think people realize, you know, we have a terrible understanding of history, particularly maybe more of us in America than in Europe, but even in Europe we've just forgotten that we couldn't have had the industrial revolution, which lifted life expectancy from 30 years to 70 years. That could not have happened with renewables, with wood, with water wheels, with windmills. The same problem exists and inherently fit. physical problem, renewable fuel, sunlight, wind, water. These are our two energy dilute to provide
Starting point is 00:49:50 the sufficient power that you need to power our machines, which make this incredible prosperity that we enjoy and take for granted possible. So we just have been in like a dream state, whereas Putin was in the real world, the real world of nuclear power, which generates significant quines of heat. He was in the real world of natural gas, and he built nuclear plants at home so he could export gas to Europe, make Europe dependent on him. And as Europe left on the daydream around returning to some, you know, ecotopia, some period that never existed, in truth, the period that the romance of renewables conjures was a period of poverty, misery, slavery, and serfdom.
Starting point is 00:50:37 So I think this is a wake-up call. I think everything's going to change now. We're going to be reminded why we need. fossil fuels and nuclear. Did you see that the leader of the Green Party in Germany yesterday, I mean, if I'm not mistaken, that whole party started because of nuclear energy. They said that they will compromise on nuclear power plants to keep them running if it means that they can get off of the teat of Russia. That's remarkable. Particularly, people who had previously been against nuclear are absolutely changing their minds.
Starting point is 00:51:17 We'll see what happens in Germany. I mean, it tells you how much nuclear has become the secular devil for Germans and progressives and greens in particular in Germany that they were willing to, you know, massively increase their defense spending, which I think we should all be concerned about, actually, given the history of Germany. that they increased their defense money before they would turn their nuclear plants on. But I do think things are changing very rapidly. So who is leading this? Is it the United States that is leading this? Because, I mean, yesterday, they asked Pete Buttigieg about, you know, what are we doing about the cost of gasoline? And he's in a fantasy world.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Listen to how he responded. Drill more, open up more U.S. land to drilling. What's the administration's response to that idea? Well, look, the president has laid out and taken a number of steps, including addressing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, including diplomatic efforts to increase global oil production and other ideas that have been raised that are on the table because everything deserves to be considered.
Starting point is 00:52:28 But let's also be clear that we are in the middle of a long-term transformation that is already fast underway, especially when it comes to vehicles. making electric vehicles more affordable for Americans, something that the president has proposed and is hoping Congress. Stop. I mean, this is the great reset nonsense. I mean, how are we going to power those electric vehicles, you know, assuming everybody gets one real quick. What's, what he said was really disturbing to me is, you know, we can't forget, we're in the midst of a grand turnaround and going into a different direction. They're not stopping. They're not stopping. They will not stop. No fact or crisis will get them to stop and go the other direction.
Starting point is 00:53:16 No, I mean, and look, it's, it's, you know, this is the idea that we're going to switch to lithium and suddenly we're going to replace all of our petroleum with lithium and then what, become dependent on Bolivian mining? There's a, there's an unreality here. People are living in a daydream. Putin lives in the real world. In the real world, you need significant amounts of power, the more of it that can come from your own country, the better. The more you can export, the better for your country. So if you care about America and you care about American interests, what you want to do is rely more on American power, not less.
Starting point is 00:53:52 So look, the Tesla is a beautiful car. Electric cars are really interesting. But the long-term trajectory of this is that we're going to move from oil and natural gas to hydrogen and nuclear. And this is understood for many decades. So the transportation secretary, who, by the way, understands absolutely nothing about energy and has no experience or record on energy, and yet energy is fundamental to transportation. He is bought into basically just a fad, and really that comes out of a religious, a new secular religion
Starting point is 00:54:25 that imagines we're going to harmonize ourselves with the natural world through renewables and electric cars. So how long will it take us to, and when? When do we hit a point of no return where they've just crippled us on oil and gas and any kind of energy that would actually be reliable? As you know, we're missing leadership at every level of our society in many ways. And so we don't have the leadership that's explaining to the American people what's in our best interests, what's in the best interests of our allies in Europe, our best interests of Japan and South Korea and our allies in the Pacific region. That is a nuclear
Starting point is 00:55:12 future. It's an oil and gas future. The good news is we may not need to use as much coal in the future, and we certainly won't because we do have so much oil and gas. But progressives, I'm afraid to say, my former party, have repressed those energies in the name of relying on solar panels made by enslaved Muslims in China. And in Europe, relying on Putin. Putin, for a significant portion of their gas, enough gas to make them unable to stand up to him and prevent him from invading Ukraine. So we've got to reorient towards American energy, American power. That American power is literal and figurative.
Starting point is 00:55:53 If we have a lot of American power in the form of nuclear, natural gas, and petroleum, then we have significant American power globally for progressive Western civilization, not for the dictatorship that we see in China, with creepy facial recognition and social media software designed to control its population, or with Putin, Putin is going to start bombing apartment buildings. Putin is going to kill a lot of people. We have this beautiful thing called civilization, Western liberal civilization. You can be Jewish, Christian, Muslim, you cannot believe in God,
Starting point is 00:56:28 and everybody has the same rights. You can disagree with the president. You can attack, you can criticize the president in our countries, in our liberal democracies. That's not what's going on in China and Russia. And I think that the invasion of Ukraine is a wake-up call that we have got to assert our power as people that believe in Western civilization. And that means that we need really powerful sources of energy, nuclear power, natural gas, oil. We can't be dependent on solar panels and weather-dependent wind turbines, which fail when we need them the most. and are produced by people that are against our values.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Michael, when are people going to really feel... I mean, I can't believe people are as silent on gas prices as they are right now. And it's absurd because we have so much petroleum. I know. We have this blessing in the form of shale, this incredible rock formation. We pull out of it light, sweet crude. We have to train... We should have been working to transform our refineries much more quickly
Starting point is 00:57:29 over the last several years than we did. we should be pumping much more petroleum into our allies, so they're not dependent on the Russians. But with the Russians for like 20% of their petroleum in Europe, and much more than that for coal and natural gas. Coal natural gas is 50, over 55% for Germany. You know, if we provide those fuels, then they're less dependent on really bad actors like Putin and she. Well, we can't get, our banks won't finance any of those new refineries or any of the updates because of ESG scores. Mike, which is, which is so corrupt that it suggests that a power source, namely solar panels, which require three to 400 times more land, the natural gas or nuclear, are somehow better for the environment, even though you have to spread them all over deserts, kill endangered species. and they think that they manipulate the numbers to show that solar was better than even nuclear,
Starting point is 00:58:31 which produces the least amount of waste, uses the smallest amount of inputs. And then they've killed off the natural gas and oil industry when we should be exporting abroad. And gasoline in California now costs over $5 a gallon. It should cost half that. You know, we should have a, we have a world-class industry, and we have throttled it, we have squished, we have squashed it in the name of importing crappy solar panels from China made by enslaved Muslims. And now you see the consequences. This is real world stuff. People are being killed in Ukraine because Europe got over-dependent on Russian gas and coal exports and oil
Starting point is 00:59:10 exports. Michael Schellenberger, thank you so much for everything you do. He's the author of Apocalypse Never. Also, San Francisco, and the founder and president of Environment, progress. Thank you, Michael. I appreciate it. Thanks for having me, Glenn. You bet. American financing NMLS-182334. www. nmLS Consumer Access.org. At that moment at night, everyone else has gone to sleep, that moment when you're standing there in your home looking around at the sum of everything you've built in your life, that's still quiet moment when there's nothing but the sound of the refrigerator running. In that moment, do you look around, and wonder what can I do to make everything more secure, more financially easy for yourself, for your family?
Starting point is 01:00:04 I know your day is busy. Sometimes days are so busy they just fly by, but I want you to take a few minutes just out of one day today and call American financing. You could be saving hundreds of dollars a month by consolidating your debt, maybe refinancing your mortgage at a lower rate. 10 minutes. 10 minutes is all it's going to take. Maybe the next time you have that quiet moment, it'll feel just a little bit better. Please make the call to American financing today. A loan with them could literally change everything for you and you could skip up to two mortgage payments in closing as little as 10 days. American financing, 800, 906 2440. Call them now, 800, 9062440 or Americanfinancing.comnet. 10 seconds. Stay. ID. I mean, doesn't it feel, I mean, remember, we're only at year one of this presidency. Exhausting. Yeah. How do we survive three more years of this? This president has not, as of this moment, made a state of the union address yet. Think about that. All the stuff that's happened.
Starting point is 01:01:27 He had the joint session of Congress he spoke to early in his presidency, but it was not an official state of the union. He has not even done one yet. We haven't even made it to the first one yet. Think of all the things that have happened. Year. Yeah. Think about, thinking, I was thinking about that yesterday. We have three more years of this guy's economy, of this guy's border strategy, quote unquote. This is why I would really like the people in Congress to start chanting three more years. Three more years? Not a chance End in question marks
Starting point is 01:02:02 Yeah, I know, but this one should I mean, how much more can America take? Really, think of what has changed. Think of how we are on the world stage. Think of our military. Think of our gas. Our price increases through inflation.
Starting point is 01:02:20 Good heavens. I did not come into this administration optimistically. No. I didn't think it was going to work well. I thought it would be bad. But this has been non-stop catastrophe. Everything this guy has touched has been the worst possible example of a potential outcome.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Because it's not him. He's not just touching. He's giving its blessings. But he isn't the one coming up with this. These are serious, leftist, Marxists that are making all of these decisions. I mean, I put them out in my chalkboard, what, two weeks ago on a Wednesday night special, who's really running the White House? It ain't Biden, man.
Starting point is 01:03:07 It ain't Biden. And we showed you who they were and their connections. And it's, I mean, we might as well be being run by Black Lives Matter. That's how far left the people are that are putting all of these things together. Their ideas do not work. they don't. This is proving it. People should really recognize that. You see the approval rating. I think they are in many respects. Republicans can still screw this up. Oh. They have found many ways over the years to do amazing things in that particular arena. Oh, I'll show you. They just screwed it up just just this last week. I'll give you an example of how they can lose this yet.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Unbelievable. Coming up. So tax time is always fun. You know, it is the time in the year where I feel so charitable, don't you, Stu? And I write those checks to the federal government. I'm like, I am helping people. I am helping people not go to the bank as much. I'm helping crooked politicians. I'm helping, you know, fund abortions.
Starting point is 01:04:40 Man, I just feel good. Anyway, if you could feel any worse, how about this? The IRS recommends electronic filing and using their pin tool for extra security. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And you can continue to, you know, check your accounts regularly to look for unusual activity. The truth is, cybercriminals are really smart, and they get past a lot of security measures. And this one, when you are putting your income tax information out online, there is a million ways to lose everything.

Starting point is 01:06:05 We're bringing Pat Gray in from Pat Gray Unleash, the podcast you can get anywhere, or you can watch it as he does it live. prior to this program on the Blaze Radio and TV network. I want to just, you know, Stu made the point that the Republicans could still screw things up. No, no, no, they already are. They already are. And I just want to send a direct message to everyone running under the Republican label. A, if you really want this job, I won't vote for you.
Starting point is 01:06:37 If you're somebody who's like, I can't believe I'm signing up for this nightmare of going, but I feel like I have to. Okay, then we can talk. Second, if you don't have the balls to stand up for little things, America should be done with you. Listen to two things that have happened with the Republicans recently. Republicans in the Georgia State House just killed a school choice bill last week. Because they were upset that a pro-school choice organization sent flyers to Georgia voters, encouraging them to ask their representatives to stand up to the radical left by supporting the school choice bill. And the speaker threw a spokesperson because he didn't have the balls to say it in anybody's face.
Starting point is 01:07:27 He said the flyers were attempted intimidation and coercion. Oh, so you're really for the school choice bill. but because somebody sent a flyer out that apparently agrees with you, I'm going to vote the other way now. Really? Or is it the money you get from the teachers union? I mean, maybe, could be. Then let me go to Wyoming.
Starting point is 01:07:52 The Republicans in Wyoming are no better. Last week, the GOP-controlled state house refused to introduce a bill that would have reinforced existing civil rights laws to prevent teachers from teaching CRT. It would have banned educators and I'm quoting from using public monies for instruction
Starting point is 01:08:13 that presents any form of blame or judgment on the basis of race, ethnicity, ethnicity, sex, color, national origin. Stop it. Just say it. Ethnicity. Thank you. And it would have prohibited teachers
Starting point is 01:08:29 from telling students that any group is inherently superior or inferior, inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, end quote, or that the United States, quote, is systemically racist or sexist. 24 Republicans voted against it, and they don't even have the balls to answer why. That's how the Republicans lose. You have a chance to sweep. but if we put Mitch freaking McConnell in charge
Starting point is 01:09:03 and a bunch of these pansy-ass Republicans that are not really conservatives I don't know what they are but if we don't get constitutionalists in there this time not only is the Republican Party done but so is our nation Pat, welcome to the program you're only saying all that about Republicans
Starting point is 01:09:26 because they do it every time Every time. Every. Every. Single time. Yeah. I mean, they had the majority and the presidency and still couldn't get things done because, I don't know, they're feckless. Because they don't believe in any of it.
Starting point is 01:09:43 They don't believe in any of it. Look at Ron DeSantis. Look at the trouble he's in today because he won't send federal troops up. Or sorry, not federal troops, National Guard troops, to guard the nation's capital tonight. They've put the fence up. they've got the military out to guard the the capital well they're now saying oh well he can reject that i wonder what happens to FEMA money if they're hit with another hurricane at least the guy knows what he stands for at least he knows that what's happening in our government and what's
Starting point is 01:10:19 happening with our capital police is absolutely unconstitutional you tell me the names and all of people and the location and when they're going to get a fricking trial for january 6th then we'll talk about they will talk about anything else you want to but until that time i'm not sending anybody up to help you nobody it also drives me out of my mind that we can't build a wall on our southern border but we can throw a fence around the white house every single time there's an event in washington why uh is the president more important than the president more important than the 330 million people that live in this country. We don't have to be protected from the onslaught that comes across the border.
Starting point is 01:11:06 And we don't know who it is coming across the border, whether they've got COVID-19 or whether they're terrorists or whether they're drug dealers. It doesn't matter one iota. But we're going to protect our president against the hordes of awful Americans, I guess, that are going to go to D.C. this week to see the... Well, by the way, we're the same people who are just so offended. that people could come across the Ukrainian border. How dare them come across the border?
Starting point is 01:11:33 That's sovereignty. You're losing your sovereignty. Really? Really. So the president's going to give the state of the union. Usually the state of our union is strong. That's what they always say. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:48 Is there any possible way he can say that? No. Well, he will, though. He will. He will. I mean, look what he said the other day. When he said, I thought that was powerful.
Starting point is 01:12:01 I did too. I did too. So what did he say the other day? He, I've forgotten now because it was so profound. That threw me with its sheer magnitude. I know, I know. I mean, but here's a guy who canceled the Keystone pipeline, but greenlighted Russia's pipeline. He stopped oil leases, making us energy dependent again and causing oil prices to skyrocket.
Starting point is 01:12:34 His weakness allowed Putin to charge into Ukraine. He ordered the disastrous pullout of Afghanistan. Domestically, we have out of control inflation, the highest sustained spending since World War II. We've got supply line shortages. He weaponized the FBI against parents. He's caused the worst border crisis. in the history of our country. Rather than being a uniter, he's been nothing but a divider.
Starting point is 01:13:00 How do you overcome all of those things and say that the state of the union is strong? There's just no possible way. Well, by saying, Do you lie. That's how you do it. I suggested that the Republicans chant tonight three more years, three more years? Three more years of this. We are one year into this.
Starting point is 01:13:34 There ain't nothing left in three more years. And what he said in the interview the other night was that people really love him, but they just are so upset about COVID-19 that that's why his polls are so bad. I mean, he couldn't believe it because their economic situation is so much better. Wait, come on. You know what? Can I tell you something? He might actually believe that.
Starting point is 01:13:58 He is in the White House for what? An hour? He's downstairs in the Oval for about an hour a day. You know all they do is like, sign this, Mr. President, and this is what this will do. I don't think he is aware. You know, he's not in touch. He's isolated. He's always at his beach house on the weekends.
Starting point is 01:14:21 Yeah. I don't know if you can blame it all. on that though. The entire Democratic Party has decided to take up this narrative where they take the worst moment of the pandemic and add the jobs since then and act as if he did something about that. Like there's this thing. They're trying to manipulate
Starting point is 01:14:37 the numbers to make people feel better about the economy. I don't think he I don't think he really has any idea what America is going through. So you think he knows the ice cream stores are still open. Which is amazing. So basically you think he, the party is just lying and spinning and he may not even know the difference.
Starting point is 01:14:57 Yeah. Yeah, I can see that. I can see that. I mean, yeah, he's cognitively declining to the point where it's possible. I have to tell you, I have to tell you. He's a liar. I do not. He is a liar.
Starting point is 01:15:07 He is a liar. No question. I, I do not say this with any glee. I don't say this with any partisanship, anything. I've, I've said, I'm on the record when he first ran. This guy is in decline. and four years in the Oval Office is not going to do him any favors. And he's going to go out, you know, like a blithering idiot. I mean, there's just no way for this kind of pressure at that age with his mental capability
Starting point is 01:15:41 and the decline he was already in. We as a nation should just ask for, I don't know, a Republican, an independent and a democratic doctor, because we can't trust anybody anymore, and maybe, I don't know, maybe somebody from India just to give him a cognitive test, I don't know if he has the capability of handling this job. I don't think he ever agreed to it. And I don't, he wouldn't. And you know what?
Starting point is 01:16:14 I don't want Kamala Harris. She would be much worse. But we can't have someone. who doesn't have the ability to mentally handle all of this. Why do you think their hair always goes white? Look at Barack Obama. He didn't have a bit of gray hair. He was young.
Starting point is 01:16:35 He comes out and his hair is gray. That happens to every single president. Why? Because the job is 24-7. It's a constant nightmare. Are we even waking the president up? when when when when uh putin said i'm gonna i'm gonna put my nuclear team on high alert that happened in the middle of the night did did president biden was he awakened or did somebody else just take
Starting point is 01:17:11 care of it that that's a real problem there's a real problem who's running things there's to be someone accountable. In this case, there isn't. It can't be him. You see how the job wears on him during the course of the day. And I don't know how they make him a little bit more aware during some times in the day in the afternoon. I think he's on some kind of medication. And then by the end of the day, though, if he does serve a full day, which is, I think, rare because they usually put the lid on it at like 11 o'clock in the morning.
Starting point is 01:17:50 but if he if he's active until night he can't speak he can't finish a sentence and you know remember the name of his of the president he served under so the the people that say oh my gosh that is just so cruel and how could you say they would juice him they were doing that to john f kennedy i mean john f kennedy um uh was really really sick really sick he had i can't remember the name of the disease um but he wasn't making any adrenaline. He wasn't, he was in full collapse. He was sick. They had to juice him. And they did. Well, they went full weekend at Bernies with, your man Woodrow Wilson. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that this is not. His wife essentially served his last two years. I don't, I don't wish him to
Starting point is 01:18:40 fail, but I will tell you this. Uh, I wish America's success more than I'm worried about his failure. By the way, you should watch, along with me, it's YouTube.com slash studas America tonight. We're going to be doing live commentary, sort of a mystery science theater 3,000 version. Yeah, I'm going to be following it too, so I'll be following you and making my own comments. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 01:19:03 Thanks, Pat. Pat Gray unleashed. Hey, what did you learn in school today? Nothing. If you're a parent, you know that's what passes for a deep conversation with your child. That conversation many times. Nothing. Nothing, really.
Starting point is 01:19:16 Since the answer to that question, what did you learn today is really important. The Tuttle Twins have decided to create 13 questions to level up your family dinner conversations. Here's an example. Would it be good if everyone who worked made the same amount of money no matter what job they did? Okay. This is a great way to teach your kids about things like equity, an equality of opportunity versus equality of outcomes, supply and demand, why socialism doesn't work, why the free market does.

Starting point is 01:20:21 Miss a day, miss a lot. Visit blaisTV.com today and never miss a moment of truth. For the first time, it might be really important to watch the rebuttal. Governor Kim Reynolds from Iowa is going to give the Republican response. And I'm sure that's going to be good. but for the first time, two Democrats are also going to rebut. The first is Rashida Talib. She is going to go on the attack against moderate Democrats who are blocking Biden's agenda.
Starting point is 01:21:27 And then you have Congressman Colin Allred, who is going to deliver a second Democratic response on behalf of the congressional black caucus. Oh, he's a uniter. He can't even get his own party. I was thinking we should have different speeches by each race. We should divide. This is just an idea. Let me throw it out there.
Starting point is 01:21:54 What if we divided each other by skin color into different groups that maybe they only have their own rooms, their own water fountains, their own areas of the bus? I mean, you would want to make sure that, I mean, you couldn't do it. trust on that. You'd need like character or something, wouldn't you? Oh, no, no, no, no. No, that's that's, no, that's, that's, that's the problem with America today. What we're doing is we're judging people too much on the content of their character and not enough on the color of their skin.
Starting point is 01:22:22 I can't foresee any problems with telling an entire generation of children that the skin color that they have is not only the most important thing about them, but the thing that gives them their power. What an incredible thing to encourage children to understand. Maybe Colin Allred or Rashida Talib can do that. You know, I just wanted to point out, if you control the House, the Senate, and the White House, you don't usually have to
Starting point is 01:22:52 rebut your own party. You know, that's usually, there's one, hey, here's what we think of that. We're the Republicans and we think that's crazy talk. Usually it doesn't happen with two other people from the president's own party. Things are going well. You're going really well. Really well. Really, really well. Thank you so much, Hillary. We're glad you're here.

Those are real, have real power, but it also means reaching out with a helping hand when those who served can't serve anymore. Since 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been supporting America's heroes and their families,
Starting point is 01:26:23 and when a first responder or military service member doesn't come home and young children are left behind, Tunnel to Towers pays off their mortgage to lift the financial burden, bring the family to stability in a catastrophic time. Those veterans that are, I mean, catastrophically injured as well, the first responders that this happens to, Tunnel to Towers builds mortgage-free smart homes, enabling severely injured heroes to live more independent lives. Now through Operation Home Base, Tunnel to Towers is giving tiny homes to homeless veterans, and there's a ton of it. there is a world that we look at every day that is filled with darkness. Let's bring a little light into the world.
Starting point is 01:27:12 Our nation's heroes, people who put their lives on the line for our country and communities, need our help. Help these heroes and their families join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good in their honor. Donate $11 a month at T2.org. That's T the number two, t.org. All right. All right. I want to give you a piece of news. And I can give you the reports or you can look them out up on your own, advancing digital agency, the power of data intermediaries, and digital ID framework that the WEF has published.
Starting point is 01:27:54 Okay. So we have two reports. And it's really exciting from the World Economic Forum. Listen to this. Well, let me start with this. I have been trying to keep my extended family in the loop. And I have found two things that have happened. One, and it may be because, you know, I don't couch things.
Starting point is 01:28:24 One is everybody is either overreacting and like, oh my gosh, my hair is on fire today. And no, you just have to do things to prepare for a new world. world. The other reaction is, this is crazy. There's no way this is going to happen. No way these things could happen. It's, it's, it's a fantasy. Well, it was a fantasy in 2016 that Donald Trump would be our president. It was a fantasy to have a president sitting on the pot, you know, making jokes and torching people on Twitter. But it happened. It's a fantasy that we would have 40-year high inflation rate like this because the Fed printed and gave away about $100 trillion.
Starting point is 01:29:17 It's a fantasy just last week that we would be talking about nuclear war. So don't tell me it's beyond the realm of possibilities. I don't see anything. Let me remind you two years ago, the Pentagon, and if you've not, heard this yet look it up the Pentagon came out and said yep there's some sort of alien life form uh and we've got one of their ships or at least pieces of it so i'm not really surprised by anything anymore now for those who think the great reset is not going to control every aspect of your life let me give you a couple of things they are um they are now
Starting point is 01:30:06 taking the next step to shape global, regional, and industry agendas, end quote, with a new digital ID system. Under the framework, the WEF proposes collecting data from many aspects of people's everyday lives. That's a quote, through their devices, telecommunication networks, and third-party service providers. The WEF suggests that this data collection Dragnet would allow a digital ID Now listen to this. It's very narrow. It would allow a digital ID to scoop up data on people's online behavior, purchase history, network usage. Credit history, biometrics, names, national identity numbers, and medical history. Plus, your travel history, social accounts, e-government accounts, bank accounts, energy uses, health stats, education.
Starting point is 01:31:04 And I love this one. And more. What's left? Once the digital ID has access to this huge, highly personal set of data, the WEF proposes using it to decide whether users are allowed to, quote, own and use devices, quote, open bank accounts, quote, carry out online financial transactions, quote, conduct business transaction, quote, access insurance and insurance and trance, quote, access insurance and treatment, book trips, still quoting, go through border control between countries or regions, still quoting, access third party services that rely on social media logins, file taxes, vote, collect benefits, end quote. So, you know, that little, that passport that they gave you? It was so crazy to think that maybe that COVID passport might grow into something.
Starting point is 01:32:08 something. Oh, exactly like this. In this advancing digital agency, the power of data intermediaries report, the WEF positions this digital ID framework as part of the solution to a trust gap in data sharing and notes that vaccine passports, which were mandated across the world during COVID-19, do by nature serve as a form of digital identity. The W.EF also praises the way vaccine passports have allowed governments to harvest data from their populations, I'm quoting, without notice or consent. Oh, I love that when our government does that, don't you?
Starting point is 01:32:57 Quoting, at a collective level, vaccine data is incredibly incredible public health asset. The United Kingdom's government in particular has acknowledged. this and is suggested that they would anonymize it and data shield techniques that could be harnessed in controlled environments to allow for the reuse of that highly sensitive data. In such cases, notice and consent is not required per se for the reuse of data, but the intermediary processes the data undergoes must be done in a controlled environment so that the findings of the data set are made available rather than the data itself. Who's going to protect us?
Starting point is 01:33:42 Additionally, the WEF provides a specific example of how digital IDs could be used to authenticate a user by using fingerprints, a password, or identity verification technology, and decide whether they should be granted, I'm quoting, access to a bank loan by judging their profile, which may include biometrics, names. national identity number and history, which may include credit, medical, and online purchasing history. The WEF goes on to suggest that digital IDs will allow for the selection of preferences and making of certain choices in advance and ultimately pave the way for automated decision making where a trusted digital assistant automates permissions for people and effectively
Starting point is 01:34:34 manages their data across different services to overcome the limitations of notice and consent. This is great. They're also talking about turning your heartbeat into a digital ID. Uh-huh. And governments and private corporations increasingly embracing digital IDs. Some governments are also pushing a similar notion, social credit style apps that monitor citizens' behavior and reward them for engaging in state-approved actions. Okay, all right, okay, all right. Now, let me just throw this on the fire for you.
Starting point is 01:35:20 One of the most widely used services to check the creditworthiness of individuals and small businesses is FICO. F-I-C-O, right? Banks, credit unions, they examine your application for a loan. FICO is often the first place that they turn. When customers look up their credit score, they're usually talking about their FICO score. Now, we've suspected for quite a while that ESG scores, which are kind of a social credit score, similar to the ones that they're using in China, could someday soon be tied with personal credit scores. so that a low ESG score could cause your personal credit score to drop and your access to loans
Starting point is 01:36:06 and mortgages along with it. But it's rare to see even the staunchest ESG supporter openly admit something like that. However, let's go to FICO's website in a little piece titled Lending Predictions of 2022. from BNPL to ESG and more, in which a FICO senior principal consultant seems to suggest he believes in 2022, ESG could be directly linked to personal and small business credit scores. This is crazy. This will never happen. It is happening. What you're seeing happen to Russia right now and praise Allah, it's happening. I am all for the sanctioning of Russia, but the way they're cutting them off in all ways will be used against you unless you fall in line. You can't wait for people to buy into this because some people will just wait and wait and wait and it'll be too late. find the people who will do their own homework.
Starting point is 01:37:27 Let me give you this. The Secretary General of the United Nations just said, turning this ship around, meaning the world, will take immense willpower and ingenuity from governments and business alike in every major emitting nation. You're going to see tonight with the State of the Union, Joe Biden trying to make a case for green energy. a listen to this quote a key focus of my administration will be the revitalization of japan through and i'm quoting a new form of capitalism
Starting point is 01:38:04 he said the time has come for historic economic and social transformations and that japan will pioneer a new form of public private partnership with leaders of government industry and labor all working together to shift policies into a new form of capitalism. That's the Prime Minister of Japan. I'm going to tell you where this is stumbling in our states and where this is gaining ground. Stand by.

So a state bill proposed in Arizona meant to restrict the use of ESG scores by banks and other financial institutions was recently voted down in the House of Representatives and not voted down because of Democrats,
Starting point is 01:40:28 but because of a few Republicans who voted against. the bill. Most Republicans voted in favor. The bill is House Bill 2656. A motion to reconsider has passed, so the House is going to vote on the bill again, possibly as early as this week. Here's what the Republicans who voted against the bill said. They said, it's not needed, you know, financial institutions, they can, you know, they can use whatever they want. I mean, they're just a private corporation. and, you know, they use ESG to target individuals and small businesses. It's not true. I mean, we've called people like Black Rock.
Starting point is 01:41:11 We've called heads of corporations. We've called the big banks, you know, all promising to use ESG on other metrics to transform society and reset capitalism. But, you know, there's no examples of this happening. why would they build it if they weren't going to use it? Let me point out the Glasgow Financial Alliance for net zero. It claims over 450 financial firms, 45 countries, including Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo and company. They have promised to remove from its portfolios and business practices,
Starting point is 01:41:55 anyone who isn't willing to go along with the net zero goal. The total assets under management owned by the Glasgow Financial Alliance is $130 trillion. That means if you want to buy a house, a car, a boat, or anything else that is somewhat related to fossil fuels over the next couple of decades, you're going to be affected by this group. You're also going to need to play by their rules, or you're not going to get a mortgage, a car loan, a business loan. We have tons of examples in the book, which, by the way, is available in bookstores again right now. Grab your copy of The Great Reset. It's available in stores right now.
Starting point is 01:42:45 Find a copy of the Great Reset by me. Time is running out in Arizona for HB 2656 to pass. Again, it's not the Democrats. It's the unbelievably blind Republicans. Most Republicans are for it. A few or not. Please call your house members and make sure they understand. What, you're going to call the bank?
Starting point is 01:43:13 It's like calling Jesse James. Hey, are you really robbing places? What is he going to say? The love of Pete. All right. All you have to do is ask. You know, whenever you have an issue where you're critical. criticizing someone. If you just ask them, is this criticism true, you always get a true answer.
Starting point is 01:43:38 Right. You get the real story. That's how you do it. Two years ago, they said, no, there's no such thing as ESG. We're not going to have those at all. Then it was, yeah, we're doing ESG, but we're only making it available for, you know, our customers, their ease. Really? So you're spending literally hundreds of millions of dollars as a bank just to help people make decisions. And I, that is an actually laudable goal, right? I would like to buy something that that backed my views, right. Exactly right. Do they offer me that?
Starting point is 01:44:10 No. No, they don't. They only offer me the ESG approved things. And look, if you are an environmentalist and you, you want to invest in things that don't have fossil fuels or whatever, okay. You should, you should be able to find a fund that does something like that. Sure. You should. And if you don't want it to go to plan parenthood.
Starting point is 01:44:30 You don't want a CT critical race theory, CRT. Then you should be able to do that too. But they don't make it that way. No. They don't make it that way. And by the way, what they said they wouldn't do, they have done. And then when we called them again and said, yeah, but you're going to apply this to small loans. No, we're not.
Starting point is 01:44:51 They just signed the agreement to do it. The big banks in America. So I'm sorry. You don't have any credibility. with me. None. None. If you want all of the information and you want the footnotes, so you can see it for yourself, please, please, just get the new book. The last, what, 50 pages are all fine print footnotes, all original sources. This is not my opinion. This is what they say they're going to do.
Starting point is 01:45:25 And by the way, what do you suppose that new form of capitalism is, that Japan's going to roll out. What do you suppose that is? It's public-private partnerships. That's what it is. It's not capitalism. It is fascism. It is run, and everybody is kept in place by ESG.
Starting point is 01:45:46 If there's another new form of capitalism, I'd love to hear about it. But seeing that he's telling the W-E-F about it, I'm pretty sure it's the same one therefore. I've got another form of capitalism we should try. It's called capitalism. What if we go back to that and attempt to use that every once in a while? It seemed to work well for a while. Why not try it again? The Glenn Back program.
Starting point is 01:46:13 Yeah, I mean, I got to get Congress to protect my company. That's not capitalism. All right. You've seen the stickers of the gas pumps? You know, is Joe Biden going, I did that. Right? Right. It's going to get much worse before it gets back. better. And if you saw what was happening with the ruble, that's because the rubble has no confidence. Nobody has any
Starting point is 01:46:36 confidence in the rule rubble. Then they say, hey, the world says you can't trade in the ruble. Okay. So what happens? Over night, people lose 30% of their money. 30%. I don't know. They're going to open, they haven't opened the banks or the central bank in Russia because they're so afraid it's just going to keep on a free fall. Well, that's what happens when you debase your money, when the world decides that we're not going to use your money, we're not going to let you do business. This is why Goldline is out.
Starting point is 01:47:11 They have a promotion includes free silver, one-ounce Indian replicas with every box of 20 of historic Indian gold coins.

Starting point is 01:47:32 Go to glensnewbook.com. Hey, how are you? I'm glad you're here. There's some really, you know, there's some, there, okay, there's one good story that I found, but it's a really good story. It's a really good story. You know, they were going to, they were going to, you know, make abortion, you know, even more accessible.
Starting point is 01:48:23 I mean, way beyond Roe versus Wade. And it was in the Senate. And, you know, it was the women's health bill, which, who doesn't love women's health? You know? Only white supremacists. Exactly right. And this bill. Really?
Starting point is 01:48:45 Sure. It was exactly right. And I nailed that exactly. Exactly right. I didn't even need to think about it. Okay, good. This bill. because of white supremacy did not pass.
Starting point is 01:48:58 Really? Yeah. Now you could have killed that baby right up to birth. I mean, right up to birth. And, you know, it would have been great. Would have been great.
Starting point is 01:49:09 But it passed. Huh. Now, it passed, what was it, 46 to 48. So you might think that it was, or 48 to 46,
Starting point is 01:49:20 you might have, it failed. sorry, 4846. And you might think, gee, there should have been a bigger spread there. Really? Yeah, but no, no. Well, one of the two major parties embraces an absolute extremist ideology
Starting point is 01:49:41 when it comes to this particular issue. Those damn Republicans. No, no. Actually, when you look at what the Democrats support, which is abortion up until the last second, Let's not even take it to the last second. We'll just take it to the final trimester. It's 84% of Americans oppose that.
Starting point is 01:49:57 But who doesn't think that while a woman is giving birth, the doctor holding the rest of the body in the woman? And then just taking some scissors and just jamming them into the baby's head. Who thinks that's extreme? Not half the country. Not half the country. Not half the country. And this is where you need to make a distinction between Democratic leadership and Democratic voters. Democratic voters don't even support this stuff.
Starting point is 01:50:26 It's just psychopaths like some of the people who are in the leadership of the Democratic Party. Hey, does anybody think that maybe the politicians all over the globe are maybe out of control? That maybe they're not really
Starting point is 01:50:46 listening to the people because we're all kind of standing up all over the world going, no, I don't agree with this. And then they firehose us, you know, or shut down our bank accounts, or call us extremist terrorists, or my favorite anti-government. Love that. Big anti-government guy you are. Yeah, yeah. We're the extremist. I disagree. I think the people in power are the extremists, because I haven't really changed my views. If anything, I've probably gotten softer, you know?
Starting point is 01:51:24 I'm less war mongery than I used to be. You know, 20 years ago, I probably would have, we should go into Ukraine and nope. Again, eventually you come to the point where you take in the environment, the experiences, your
Starting point is 01:51:42 lived experience, Glenn, where you've seen the government fail over and over and over and over and over again at these things. Right. Probably a good idea to avoid them when possible. I mean, I cannot believe there's people in the Republican Party today calling for a no-fly zone to be
Starting point is 01:51:57 implemented and with our own planes. That's war. That is World War III. Immediately that is World War III. One accident, we shot down one of their planes. They shoot down one of ours.
Starting point is 01:52:13 We're all, we're now in war with Russia. Isn't that great? We know Russia's not going to listen. They're not going to say, oh, okay, well, we won't fly then. They're going to just fly in there and eventually there's going to be some mistake or some major thing that blows up out of that. We're already here, right? There's already a chance that this could flame up into World War three. So if you believe, oh, no, fly zone is the right thing to do. I mean, it's not completely insane to think, you know, you want to protect, you want to even the playing field for Ukraine
Starting point is 01:52:45 and Russia on the battlefield. Okay. But if you're doing that, then basically you just need to commit to World War III. Just put troops in there. You might as well. What's the difference? You know, but I think the only politicians in the world that are one with their people are like the Islamic extremists. I mean, they'll have, you know, whole cities chanting, you know, death to the, you know, great Satan, whatever. Death to the Jew. They got it.
Starting point is 01:53:13 They are reflective. I don't know which one is the chicken, which one's the egg. But it seems that everybody is in the same page. The people in Russia are not like, Putin, you're great. Yeah, let's go. He's not with the people. Some of them are. I mean, of course, they have a very manipulated media environment.
Starting point is 01:53:35 So some of the stuff is popular there. But I think he's losing it. I think people are standing up and saying, you know what, this is not what we want. Why are we doing this? It just doesn't seem, I don't think it seems urgent to them. Yeah. And then the people who are always, isn't it weird that the, the media, which is always against war once we start it, are for war before we started.
Starting point is 01:54:02 That is very true. That's one of the things that's made me hesitate on this Ukraine coverage the last week. You know, I just keep thinking to myself, you know, every single time this happens, we get this really wonderful picture early on in these wars and then overall, you know, over time, it takes a turn. we're not seeing any we're seeing like news from Russia about Russia
Starting point is 01:54:23 shelling indiscriminately residential area which by the way is happening however we're not seeing like wow they took a big chunk of territory here and it's going well for Russia we're only seeing a wonderful Ukrainian response which I'm proud to see and it's a fierce
Starting point is 01:54:40 response and they are defending their homeland valiantly but like it's hard to imagine that's the entire picture I don't know where the Russians have done well. I don't, do you? I mean, everything we've heard is that this is going worse than they expected. Correct. But worse than they expected was in five days, we're going to be sitting on the throne. Yeah. And they've got a major city surrounded right now, supposedly. I mean, so we're only getting this one side by a group of people who are always anti-war.
Starting point is 01:55:11 And the Democrats are just cheering and cheering and cheering and cheering and hammering people like, Mike Lee who said, hey, let's pass a resolution right now. This guy can't just launch us into war. He's got to come to Congress first. I think that's a really good idea. I think that's a really good idea. It's a good enough idea that our founders had it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:32 And I think, you know, I've not really been for it up until, I don't know, 20 years ago. But I think that's a really good idea. Yeah. Yeah, you think Congress should have a voice there. It seems like that was the way the system was designed. And you know what? Even if you have to go for, you know, the first week or two weeks or whatever, You know, like, I got to go in in the middle of the night.
Starting point is 01:55:52 Fine. Then give it a week, two weeks. But then if they don't vote for it, it stops. If somehow or another Congress just can't find their way to that vote, it stops. I mean, I'll give some slack that sometimes you have to move fast. And you can't do it. But if it was good enough for the guy in the wheelchair to say, hey, maybe, you. You know, they just bombed us in an island.
Starting point is 01:56:23 Most of us didn't even know existed or didn't think was ours. Yeah, I think we should go to war. Yeah. And they even passed a law to say, okay, you got a little window here. And then they just ignored the law. That's how this works. So what do you think we see from Biden tonight? What do we see from Biden tonight?
Starting point is 01:56:42 We're going to see him completely out of touch with the facts. He's going to go for the Green New Deal. he's going to say he's doing all we have real pain he's going to tell some real tender stories about ukraine and the ukrainian heroes might even have one there um uh he's going to talk about how this is going to hurt us but he's doing everything for the economy but let's remember we wouldn't have this problem if we didn't if if we would have had those giant windmills everywhere it we wouldn't have this problem mm we wouldn't be so reliant. It's a big windmill
Starting point is 01:57:19 problem. That's the main story of Ukraine. Yeah. I keep coming back to this. You get power in Washington. You get the Senate. You get the House. You get the presidency. They know they're going to lose certainly the House, most likely the Senate here in a few months. When you get a situation, you have control
Starting point is 01:57:35 of all three areas there. You're going to, you get two bites at the apple of reconciliation where you can pass massive bills with only 50 votes. They've used one of them already. They have one left. They try to use it on build back better. I just don't think
Starting point is 01:57:51 it's possible. They're going to leave this on the table. They're going to try to pass something. My bet is tonight they're going to come at the American people with a climate remix of build back better. Parts of it. I think they're going to, I think actually they're going to
Starting point is 01:58:07 play, you know, three card money with this. I think they're going to he's going to be focusing on build back better. And then he's also going to talk about, you know, we've got to pass these climate things. And those will be the important things that he couldn't get through with Build Back Better. They'll be moved over to this climate thing. So he can pass that and, oh, Bill Back Better didn't pass. Oh, well. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:33 But I think it's, I think he's going to double down on Build Back Better. Hmm. I think it'll be a Trojan horse. I think he'll say it. But I don't know that, I don't think that's going to be their real push. I mean, what there, if you were them, right, if I, if, if, if this is a Republican situation. I'd retire. And you had Susan Collins, right? Who's your mansion vote, right? Who won't pass your big package?
Starting point is 01:58:55 You go to Susan Collins and you say, okay, you tell me you agree with 50% of this, right? Tell me exactly what the things you want in it are. Just list them. And we'll take the 50% or the 30% or the 18% of whatever of this bill. Tell me which parts you'll vote for and we'll make a bill that. has those parts in it. Right? Like that, at this point, Joe Manchin is the president when it comes to this stuff, as is, of course, cinema in Arizona. And you go to them and you find the things that they both say they'll vote for and you put a bill out that has those things in it. Right? That's
Starting point is 01:59:33 basically where you are at this point or you're going to lose this opportunity. Now, of course, I want them to lose the opportunity in this case. So maybe they will. Maybe they'll just completely blow it. The Republicans would probably just blow it. But I would be screaming at him and saying, Like, look, if all they'll do is give you 3% off the tax rate instead of the eight that you want, take the three right now. You're about to lose control of the government. Take it. Take what you can get right now. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:00:01 They don't seem to be realistic enough to do something like that. They seem to be still in this world where they think they're getting built back better and they think the economy's good. I think that's why they're going to double down tonight. I mean, that's why Rashida Taleb and somebody from the... the black caucus two rebuttals to the president from the left. Yeah. And I don't think that they are going to tear him apart. They're going to tear apart these weak, mealy-mouth Democrats.
Starting point is 02:00:32 I don't know who those are, quite honestly, because they all seem extreme to me. Only two you can point to are Sinema and Mansion. That's it. Who have held the line on parts of one of the several multi-trillion dollar bills they've offered. That's moderation in this day. But I don't believe they're going to moderate. I think that these are revolutionaries. They're going to set the Democrats on fire.
Starting point is 02:00:57 They'll just say, these two, get them. Well, I think that's going to happen from Talib. I think that's the whole reason she's doing this, right? She's going to yell at Joe Manchin. I'd wear that as a badge of all. All right, back in just a second. If you're living with aches and pains in your life, particularly, if you're living with really frequent and bad pain.
Starting point is 02:01:19 I want you to consider something for a minute. But if you couldn't or weren't experiencing that for a minute, I mean, how great would that be? Crazy, right? That is exactly what relief factor did and still does for me. I did not. I will tell you this, honestly, I wouldn't be doing this job today if it wasn't for a relief factor.
Starting point is 02:01:42 I would have quit about three years ago because I was at the end of my rope and I'm like, I'm not going to spend my day in pain and looking at the news every day and trying to figure out the world. I'm just going to spend my time with the family and do what I want to do. I'm here because of Relief Factor. It worked for me. It still works for me. Three-week Quick Start developed for you 1995.

Starting point is 02:03:08 and said that the GOP is trying to ban black votes, and I'm quoting, from even counting, end quote. Where are the, where's the fake news police on this? That's as ridiculous and offensive and conspiratorial as anything Lynn Wood said leading up to the Georgia elections, right? Like saying that, oh, well, don't even bother voting, because they're not going to count your votes anyway. This is what he's saying.
Starting point is 02:03:42 He's saying the Republican Party is not just putting in, you know, laws that will make it more difficult to vote. That's not what he's saying. He's saying that when they vote, Republicans are trying to throw out their votes. The sacred right to vote, which I've never seen under such attack. Really? Have you never seen it, you 80-year-old under this attack? Come on. You know, it's always made it harder for blacks to vote,
Starting point is 02:04:11 but this is trying to be able to figure out how to keep the black vote when it occurs from even counting. That's so offensive. It's incredible. Incredible. By the way, this is a guy, you know, Jim, this guy lived through Jim Crow. He's never seen voting under attack like this. He was good friends with the Grand Wizard. He eulogized the guy
Starting point is 02:04:39 I mean the grand dragon or wizard Or wizard dragon or whatever the hell it is He said he was a great influence on his life On his life And particularly his early years Which I don't know if anyone noticed Those are the gay gay gay years That time he was wearing that hood
Starting point is 02:04:56 I don't know if you saw that Incredible And yet no one even comments on it It's the same thing like You know Donald Trump says his election was stolen and everyone freaks out. Stacey Abrams says the same thing and no one cares. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:05:09 I mean, they're a promoter. Yeah. They promote her. Yeah. They're promoters. They're running her again in Georgia.
