Starting point is 00:00:00 She knows. How? Did you blouse? No. The Devil Wears Prada 2. He's the movie event 20 years in the making. Honestly, can't with the secrets anymore, so I think we just should tell her. Will you two please spit it out already?
Starting point is 00:00:13 This Friday, be the first to experience it only in theaters. In light of the recent scandal, I'm here to restore your credibility. Oh, because we're a team now. That's a nice story. The Devil Wears Prada 2 in Theaters Friday. Just saw a story from CNN. I am not making this up. They are recommending now that your dog begins to eat insects because dog food is hurting the environment.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Not kidding. Well, even if they eat insects, maybe we could eat insects too. May I suggest you put rough greens over those insects for your dog? My dog will eat me if I try to do that. Anyway, rough greens. Roughgreens.com. I want you to go there and get a free bag of rough greens just to try out. Make sure your dog loves it.
Starting point is 00:01:05 Believe me, he doesn't love the insects, too. All you do is pay for shipping. It's rough greens. RUFFGreens.com slash Beck. Again, it's not a dog food. It's something that you put over your dog food to make sure that they have all of the vitamins and nutrients that they need in their meal. 833, G-E-N-N-33.
Starting point is 00:01:24 8-33, Glenn 33. call them today, roughgreens.com slash back. Okay, all right. I'm going to make a prediction coming up. And I got a few things to say. Yeah. And then we're going to look at the election, which is good. Then we're going to look at the economy, which isn't they really good.
Starting point is 00:01:45 But then we're going to look at where all of this came from, which is good. Did that sound convincing? all on today's broadcast. Stand by. Oh, yes, Dick Twisted Freak. Welcome to Monday. It is the 24th of October. And, uh, big Monday it is.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Coming up, I'm going to, are you good news? What are bad news? Yes, the bad news which and the good news which are going to be stopping by. Uh, this hour, I'm going to give you a prediction of some things to come. It's not really much of a stretch to imagine this. And I'll tell you about the economy and war. Some big developments. And you know what I love?
Starting point is 00:03:37 Our president completely zoned out and fell asleep during an interview. And NBC didn't edit it out. I'll explain in 60 seconds. So Sharon wrote in about our experience with Relief Factor. She says this time last year I was using a walker. I could barely get around at all, but I'm telling you Relief Factor changed my life. Not only I'm without the Walker now, I'm back to working full-time. Thank you, Relief Factor, for making such a great product.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Listen, if you're dealing with pain, please give Relief Factor a try. It exists to give you back the life you love. And it's not a drug. It's not something that's going to space you. you out. It was developed by doctors and has four key ingredients that fight inflammation, which is the source of most of the pain that we deal with. Try the three-week quick start. Develop for you 1995, a dollar a day like a trial pack, and hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief factor and 70% of them go on to order more. Go to Relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com or call
Starting point is 00:04:39 800 for relief. 800, the number four relief or relieffactor.com. Okay. Let's By the way, hello, Stu. Let's start with this. Now, Stu has not seen the video. He has only heard the audio. And I urge you, if you happen to be watching us on Blaze TV, to quick look at your screen during this clip. Otherwise, listen to it and find it sometime today,
Starting point is 00:05:12 because this is truly remarkable. Cut four, Joe Biden. I have not made that formal decision, but it's my intention, my intention to run again. And we have time to make that decision. Dr. Biden is for it. Mr. President. Oh. Dr. Biden thinks that my wife thinks that I, that we're doing something very important.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Holy. Okay. Now, that could have been edited out. Yeah. That's probably at least a, two camera shoot, maybe a three camera shoot for the president, and they could have easily edited that out. NBC did not. The interview had just go, Mr. President. So I think it was probably edited a little tighter. Yeah, I was going to say, the pause visually seeing it, you see him sort of slump over and
Starting point is 00:06:15 look like he's falling asleep. Yeah. Where the pause in length, when you don't see it, doesn't seem that bad. It doesn't seem as long as it would take for a person to say, Mr. President. Right. It's only why did he jump in at that point? Why didn't, you know, maybe he was being pensive. And I still think that it is too short, I still think that that it was edited. Yeah. Because they cut the shot right when that happens. Correct. But I think almost more disturbing is what happens after. Yeah. He doesn't know what he's talking about. I mean, what, how, is there any other way to explain this? The only only only
Starting point is 00:06:52 The other thing I can think of just watching it is maybe Jill Biden is vocally opposed. Oh, stop it. To him running. Stop it. No, I'm serious. Like, yeah. No, not a chance. I don't think so either.
Starting point is 00:07:03 But like, he almost answers it as if Jill is like, Jill wants to murder me. Right. She knows I'm completely senile. She doesn't want me to run again. Right. But I want to. Uh-huh. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Let me give you a, first of all, this, what should frighten you is that NBC ran that. That's clear and could have been edited out. That is something that I think somebody in the editor position went, guys, we have to leave that in. I bet you there was discussion on that. Just take that out. No, guys, I'm telling you, we need to leave that in.
Starting point is 00:07:44 We have to at least, we can't say anything, but at least tip off a little bit, There's problems here. Because there's not a real reason to leave in the idea of whether Jill thinks it's like, like, that's not a vital news story. They left that in because they wanted people to see it. Yes. That's terrifying. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Now, I'm going to give you a prediction and then I'm going to play the audio that will verify that what I'm saying is coming is coming. This, remember, Democrats always have a, always put Republicans and people against, you know, the Marxist in a lose-lose. time winning isn't really winning because they've already planned on losing. You know, so both ways, no matter how it turns out, they win. The Republicans, I believe, are going to sweep this election. I think they're going to do, I think it's going to be pretty dramatic. I could be wrong, but it could be pretty dramatic. And any way you cut it, Republicans are going to be in control.
Starting point is 00:08:48 I think of both houses, but definitely the house. If they even get the House, that will slow down everything in Washington. Nothing's going to be passed. Nothing's going to be passed with this administration. If they get the House and the Senate, the same thing will be true. What's going to be said over the next two years, mark my words, they have denied this entire time that we're in a recession. They've denied that inflation was even happening.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Once the GOP takes Congress, all you're going to hear about is how the Congress and the Republicans have destroyed the economy. And they will begin to highlight it and you will see it on television everywhere. Just, you know, we should have this and just clip this part and we just play it at the top of the hour in about a year or so. Just saying, hey, remember how bad it was before? and they were denying that there was ever a problem, what you're hearing right now on radio and television, it's all still a lie. It was headed towards the bottom before the election.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Here's Joe Biden. Let's go cut six, please. Republican leadership and Congress has made it clear. They will crash the economy next year by threatening the full faith and credit of the United States. Stop. they will crash the economy. Huh, that's funny because that's what I think the Biden administration is doing right now. Now, let me give you a couple of other things. That's a big one.
Starting point is 00:10:34 I mean, he's quite clearly telling you he knows this is going to happen. Yeah, they're going to, I'm telling you now, no joke. They're going to crash the economy. Mark my words. Mark my words. They will blame it. You have to be clear. and know it right now. Let me give you one more and then I'm going to give you a lineup of some things that are coming our way that you have to be aware of.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Okay. First, another very disturbing video. This one was bone chilling to me. President Z kicked President Hu out of the Chinese Congress, if you will. These are all of the party leaders. And in the middle, all of a sudden, two guys come right next to President Z. And they grab President Who right after the vote went down to make President Z kind of pretty much a dictator for life. And President Who is sitting there.
Starting point is 00:11:45 And all of a sudden these two guys come and they try to get President Who out of his chair. And he's like, what's going on? It's disturbing if you watch it. Can we play it while I'm describing it? So they grab him and no one, notice, no one is turning around. No one is looking. Okay? And he's standing there and he's fighting.
Starting point is 00:12:14 He's like, I'm not going with you. I'm not going with you. They're like, just come on with us. Come on with us. He's resisting. he finally grabs on to President Z. President Z doesn't even really look at him, just says something,
Starting point is 00:12:29 and notice not a single soul is looking at him as he leaves. Not one. Not one. The guy has been disappeared, but he was disappeared. The minute those two guys came to him, it was like he was invisible. No one even looked at him.
Starting point is 00:12:51 President Z is sending a message not only to Chinese, but also to the world. I have complete power, and I don't care what you say or what you do. I don't even have to hide it. Now, he did say, the Chinese press did say, President Hu was feeling really poorly and needed to be escorted out. He didn't know, though? He didn't know he was feeling poorly? No, he didn't know. And it was nothing that a bullet to the head wouldn't cure. He's feeling much, much better now. Okay, one more story, and then I'm going to tell you how it all fits together.
Starting point is 00:13:34 The 101st Airborne Division has just arrived in Europe to support the NATO Allies. This is the first deployment of the 101st airborne in Europe. since World War II. I mean, you're saying again. It's the first time they've been deployed to Europe since World War II. I'll give you what it all means in 60 seconds. Cheryl wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.
Starting point is 00:14:16 She was actually a bit skeptical that this would have any effect on my dogs, but the difference is truly unbelievable. I decided to buy this one. my 11-year-old dog was to have surgery and wasn't really doing well. Within a week's time, she was playing like a puppy dog again. I was totally amazed how much better both of my dog's digestion has been as well. Thank you, Rough Greens. Cheryl, I don't know about my dog's digestion.
Starting point is 00:14:39 I don't really look or, I don't know. Anyway, I will tell you this. I had the same effect, this had the same effect on Uno as your dogs. Totally changed him. He became a puppy again. Now, this is not a dog food. It's a supplement. And you put it on the dog's food.
Starting point is 00:14:58 And honestly, it changes them. The folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog's going to love it. They have a special deal for you. The first little trial bag comes for free just to make sure that they like it. If they do like it, start feeding your dog this every single day. And I'm telling you over the, for me, it's happened immediately, then over a couple of months. And then over a year's period of time, I was still seeing changes. It's roughgreens.com slash back.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Roughgreens.com slash Beck. 833, G-L-E-N-N-N-33. 10 seconds, station ID. Okay, all righty then. By the way, in Vladimir Putin's Russia, dissent is now treason. Just want you to want you to know. So if you dissent now on war,
Starting point is 00:16:00 it's treason. You're going to prison. That's good. That's good news. All right. Let me explain what's happening and what's coming. The Biden administration and the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, places like Black Rock, all the big institutions with the great reset, they have all positioned us into a place to where we are extraordinarily vulnerable. economically, extraordinarily vulnerable. So you know, they've done this, they've done this all because of climate change, they say,
Starting point is 00:16:47 just so you know, the California wildfires have cancelled out nearly two decades of emission reductions, 20 years of emission reductions gone because of the California wildfires. So you know, there is a lot of predictions out, but one I saw this morning from PCMag, it said one of the predictions is by 2025, without sustainable AI practices, AI will consume more energy than the average, European country offsetting any environmental gains that AI creates by 25%.
Starting point is 00:17:34 So the world needs more energy, not less energy, and anything that we're doing and saying, we've got to stop driving to see grandmother. That's not going to make any difference. In fact, it's already been wiped out. And then I take you to the CNN story where they are blaming our pets now. for climate change impacts. And thus, our dogs, CNN, our dogs now have to start eating insects for dog food. Okay?
Starting point is 00:18:06 This is where we're headed. They have put us into this place, not for climate change, but to change the way that the world interacts with itself. And who makes the money and who has real control. the only way you can get to a world where no one owns anything and they'll like it. That is from the world economic forum. By 2030, you will own nothing and like it. How do you make that happen? How do you make that happen?
Starting point is 00:18:44 Well, you can take some money away. You can make laws that make it flitter away. But if you're living in a constitutional republic, you can't get everybody down to zero. What you can do, however, is destroy wealth. You can destroy all of it. And with your governmental policies, you can shift that wealth, put it back into the banks, which is also putting it back into the hands of the United States government, because the United States government owns most of your money.
Starting point is 00:19:21 mortgages, America. Did you know that? So they've put us in the situation to where we're on the verge of an economic collapse. Biden is going to start blaming the GOP. So let me give you a quick story of what's coming. And I don't know in what order. So I'll put the election first. But election.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Chaos in the streets. war economic woes deepen dramatically to the point if not past the point of collapse when these things happen
Starting point is 00:20:08 voices like mine like others will be censored we will not be able to tell you really truly what's going on because we will be fomenting panic and trouble. That's what's coming in your next year, I think.
Starting point is 00:20:32 And if you are prepared for it, you will know. And here's how you prepare for it. We live in different times. We are in a very dark period globally. I would ask that you would join me in this. I'm really against all killing of any kind. any person, any organization, any nation, including all wars. I refuse to play the apocalypse game.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Even if Satan himself has taken the souls of every Russian and set them against all the Christians, and I'm not ruling that out, I do not believe my God wants me to murder them all. This is a war not against flesh and blood. This is his war, not ours. And I don't want my kids in it. I don't want my friends in the world's war. I don't want anyone in it. And I won't support the world's war in any way.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I don't like paying for it either. But I'm also leaning towards being against the death penalty now, because I think they're going to find some way to think people like me need the death penalty too. So until we get out of this really dark period, I'm against that. Now, does that mean I won't defend my family against a violent threat if it comes to my house? Oh, no. No, no. No, it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:22:08 As the Constitution prescribes, if a family member of mine is in danger, you come to take my children into danger. Yeah, I'll defend my children. But I will not quench Satan's thirst. for what is coming our way. It is already... Have you seen our... Have you seen what's happening in our cities right now? Have you seen the death?
Starting point is 00:22:43 Homicide rates surging in major cities run by Soros-backed DAs. St. Louis, 19%. These are homicide cases per 100,000 residents. July through September, 19. Kansas City, 14. Detroit, 13. Baltimore, 12, New Orleans, 10, Milwaukee, 10. Are you kidding me? Shootings in Chicago this weekend. 52 shot, 11 fatally shot.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Violence and the thirst for blood and man's love for man is waxing ice cold. Don't get caught up in it. Stay true. Stay focused. Stay calm. back program.

Starting point is 00:25:43 And we need your help. This is the time of the year that we do do a fundraiser. And I try to put on an event every year to be able to make some money so we can pay for the lights and everything else. It's happening this Saturday, the 29th. Go to Mercury1.org and find out how you can be involved in this. You watch it online. I think the tickets are all sold out, but it's going to be really good online. and there's going to be an auction.
Starting point is 00:26:15 There's already an auction up on the website, mercury one.org. Mercury1.org. Okay. Pat Gray is with us. And Pat, I think we have Stu to thank for our financial doom. You have me to think? Really?
Starting point is 00:26:32 Yeah. Yeah. Do you remember what I said? Are the Phillies in the World Series? Oh, that's right. The Phillies are in the World Series. Yeah. Yeah. You want to look back? Let's see. 1929, Phillies. 1980. Philly's. 2008. Philly's. Now, 2022. Filly's. I don't know if you notice.
Starting point is 00:26:55 29 collapse, 80 collapse, 2008 collapse, and 2022. Maybe. Yeah. Now, I should. No, because the Astros are going to beat them. So they will not win the World Series this year. Is it a win only? I think it's a win. It's not a... When the Phillies win the World Series. I'm pretty sure. I thought it was just when they're in it. Because what didn't... No, athletics won.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Phillies won in 80. Philly's won in 80. But the athletics... Oh, they did not win in 29? 29, they did not win. Oh, okay. It's just them being there. Oh, that sucks.
Starting point is 00:27:26 That's the curse. Oh, boy. Now, I should point out for those who are aware, especially my huge Canadian sports fans out there. Huge. I am not a Phillies fan. I am a Blue Jays fan, which is an...
Starting point is 00:27:40 explicable to most. It's not going to stop us. I'm blaming you. But why am I blamed? I'm an Eagles fan. They're in the same city. Because they're both in Philadelphia. 2017, 18, good years.
Starting point is 00:27:49 They won the Super Bowl. Like when the Eagles win, whatever things happen. Okay. I just don't think I should be blamed. It's a Canadian plant. Okay, they should all know that. You hired the Canadian plant, then.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Yeah, just to keep you close. I keep my enemies closer. Anyway, there's a new poll out. A couple of new things. Pennsylvania. shows, I believe we had him tied last we met. Dr. Oz, this is the first time we have seen a lead and a pretty good lead. Because I've been saying for a while, I'm a believer that this race tightened significantly and is very close as we get, you know, toward election day.
Starting point is 00:28:27 And this is back when we, when we were talking about this as a 20 plus point race, which I never bought. I think that was sympathy, right, for Federman going through his health struggles. Yeah. It's now closed. one thing I've been saying for the last couple weeks is like, I believe this, but I would like to see, before I'm predicting Dr. Oz is going to win or anything, I'd like to see one single solitary poll, which actually shows him ahead. Not close, not tied, but actually ahead. And now we do have that poll. Came over the weekend, 49.1 to 44.6 with Dr. Oz now leading Federman. Not bad. He's my guy until he betrays us. Then he's not my guy. Yeah, like at this point, I don't have no standards for how good a Republican is or how bad they are. In this particular context, I'm pretty much there to the point of, I will take anyone to stop this. That is, I am, I am there.
Starting point is 00:29:26 This is such a bad, bad time when it comes to, I mean, the fact that they have unlimited power essentially has, look at what it's done to our country. I know. And we really do need, even, I don't know that Dr. My guess is we're not all sitting here and going, guys, we must. We must. Dr. Oz is the most important conservative voice in the past century. No, nobody's saying that. It will be like William Buckley and Dr. Oz.
Starting point is 00:29:53 I don't know. I don't think that's what I said. Can we not say those kinds of things? Let's see his performance. I look, I'm not, I hope. I'm not ruling it out. I will give him an absolute chance. I'm really, as I would say, if I was in Pennsylvania,
Starting point is 00:30:06 He would certainly be the guy. No, he'd be the guy. I'd be. I'm rooting for him from Texas. Yeah. In many ways. But I mean, the fact is at this point, it's stopping the bleeding. Right.
Starting point is 00:30:16 You have to stop the bleeding. Stop the gushing of blood out of the torso. Then worry about the other stuff. Okay. So there's another one. It looks like, uh, Zeldon is actually ahead of Hockel in New York. Talking about Zellmentum? Is Zellmentum?
Starting point is 00:30:36 Yeah. He's talking to Doug Gowdy at our affiliate WGY. He said they're actually, they're fundraising now on the term zelementum. That is funny. I don't know. It doesn't. That is really funny. I like it though.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Again, this is another one. I have a hard time believing. We saw a Trafalgar poll from a couple of weeks ago that had Hockel only up two points. And even that seemed hard to believe. But since then, we've seen several other polls that have shown it far close. than you'd expect six points eight points even that is a miracle in New York and now this latest poll has Zelda at 45.6 and Hockel at 45.3 obviously very very close but if this is the environment we're looking at then the wave is absolutely
Starting point is 00:31:27 in play and likely if we're talking about an environment where the New York governor race is up for grabs and is not called let's say immediately after the closing of polls, you're at a situation where you could see, you know, you could see 53, 54, 55 seats in the Senate for Republicans. It's not out of the question if that's really the environment. There's still a lot more evidence we need to believe. That's exactly.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Would that be great. It's trending that way, though. It would be great if somehow or another we got 70? That would be really hard. That would be really hard. It's a hard, hard route to get there. Because there's not 70 seats that are possible. I know.
Starting point is 00:32:05 I know. It's not, I'm not saying it'll be easy. Wouldn't it be great? That would be great. That would be great. You know, again, we joke, but in 2024, I don't think 70 is possible, but a filibuster proof majority is absolutely in play. Is it really?
Starting point is 00:32:21 If and only if the Republicans have, you know, that 53, 54, 55 area. Like, if they get 51, I think it would be very difficult. It is theirs to screw up, and they will. Let's be positive. Yeah, let's be positive. I will say this. It's going to be an onslaught of bad news about the economy as soon as they win. As soon as they win.
Starting point is 00:32:45 It's been a great economy. What are you talking about? No, there's no inflation. There's no problem. We're solid. We're rock solid. We're booming. We all know that's not true.
Starting point is 00:32:54 However, that is the way they've positioned it. And now as soon as they take over, it is going to be the Democrats or the Republicans. If you would have given me a Republican Congress. and the media will be all over the Republicans saying everything they're doing is causing this inflation. They're going to Liz trust the Republican Party so fast if they win this election. They're going to make it look like every proposal is the reason why we're having negative effects. They're going to do the same thing they did to her. Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Starting point is 00:33:24 By the way, Senator Murkowski, she really sucks. You know, more than usual. You see, she's voting for the Democrat over Sarah Palin. and another Republican, by the way. You could even vote for a Republican that's not Sarah Palin, and she's voting for the Democrat. How is it? That tells you a lot about Lisa Murkowski. It tells you everything you need to know about her.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Yeah. And you want to talk about out of touch? So bad. My gosh, who is? In Alaska. There's just no reason for Lisa Mikowski to be one of the senators from Alaska. There is no reason for that for such a thing. You're correct here.
Starting point is 00:34:00 She's got to lose this time. And she may. I mean, it's very close. But, you know, the state of Alaska is likely going to elect this Democrat. I mean, I would say the Democrat's the favorite. Yeah, I mean, Palin and Beacch, who's another, again, another big name in the state and also a Republican. So, like, you could say, okay, Sarah Palin, you could see maybe in Alaska, there was a lot of attention on this person. Maybe they're kind of tired of her.
Starting point is 00:34:26 She's a big media. You could see there being Republicans who were like, look. Well, and they perceive that she forsook them by leaving early. when she was governor. Didn't like that. You could make that argument, right? At the time, a lot of people in Alaska, who were Republicans and supporters of hers,
Starting point is 00:34:40 did make that argument. But again, there's another Republican in the race. Right. Like, there's no reason to support the Democrat in the race. You could support the more moderate Republican if that's, because we're told that's what Murkowski's bet, right? She's a Republican, but she's moderate and she's just, you know, a little bit out of step on a couple things.
Starting point is 00:34:58 I mean, again, she pushes the boundaries of what you would call a Republican. Now, I'd rather have her. than a Democrat, because again, she will vote at least maybe half for the time the right way, which is a lot in this environment. But this is also why you need 52 or 53 or 54. Remember, 51 means 51 possibly with Murkowski and Collins and Romney. That's not a solid 51, guys. You need to get to 54, 55, 56.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Then you start feeling a little more comfortable that they can block like a Supreme Court justice. Oh, that would be. That would be nice, wouldn't it? That would be nice. By the way, an update on Egg McMuffin. Ah, yes. Yeah. In Utah.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Yeah. I blew a gasket last night. He tweeted out that Mike Lee is a Russian asset. What is this? What? Desperation, that's what that is. A Russian asset. When I saw that, I thought, this guy is looking at some polling that.
Starting point is 00:36:02 that I've not seen because it must show him at a one. He's polling his audience though. His audience is a bunch of Democrats that think everybody on the right is a Russian asset. It was remarkable. He said, Mike Lee is going to get us into a war.
Starting point is 00:36:18 He's a Russian asset. Oh, did Mike Lee send the 101st Airborne? Yeah. Was he the one who did that? No, he was the guy who voted against against the money that we're sending. And if you're trying to get us into a war in Ukraine, you wouldn't be an asset for Russia.
Starting point is 00:36:35 You'd be an asset for Ukraine. That doesn't even make sense. At least make your insult make sense. Yeah, all the country's backwards. That is adorable. Aw. A moron. Yeah, it kind of feel bad for him.

Starting point is 00:39:23 the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. Coming up in just a second,
Starting point is 00:39:27 I'm going to share something with you that I I was actually honestly shocked by
Starting point is 00:39:34 last week Stacey Abrams was speaking and just that always surprises me, you know. Wow, she's still speaking and people are listening. But she said a couple of things, and one of my researchers just put two words in Google and did a search.
Starting point is 00:39:57 And you won't believe what we learned. And I don't think because it was so odd what she said, I'm not sure anybody has searched for those two words before. And we did. And I'm going to show you coming up what we found. And it explains everything. It really explains what's happening and the Democrats, what they're really after. And we'll give that to you coming up at the top of the hour. Kind of a significant thing.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Yeah. A little piece of history that may be a little nugget. Yeah, a little bit. A little nugget for everybody. Yeah. Another positive moment that's going to make us uplift us. By the way, we've done our work on James Gordon Meek. You know, he's the ABC guy who disappeared or was disappeared by the FBI, it looks like.
Starting point is 00:40:53 We've called Meeks' phones, one disconnected, left a voicemail on the other, never heard back, called six presumed relatives, all phones disconnected except two, left a message with both, haven't heard back, called Meek's attorney. We started this on Thursday. Both the law office and his personal line, nothing, reached out to the FBI. They immediately replied. They have no comment. Reached out Fairfax County Public Affairs Office. No recent record of a missing persons report. Which is really strange, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:41:27 You'd think somebody would have. He's been missing since April. Reaching out to the FOIA department because it may have timed out for a public viewing. We'll see. We reached out to ABC News, various methods, no comment at all from them, reached out to the author of the Rolling Stone argument. Article. Yeah, article.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Seeing if she could comment, maybe even come on the show. No reply as of yet. That's the only one I think we're going to get a call back on. You'd think you get it more because obviously this person is concerned enough about the story to write the story. Correct. The only person who seemed to be interested in this at all. So I assume, you know, whether it's from the right or the left wants more attention on this. Remember his name, James Gordon Meek.
Starting point is 00:42:14 He is a ABC investigative reporter, was doing a story about the disastrous pullout of Afghanistan, FBI, or some agency scooped him up at 5 o'clock in the morning from his apartment. And he hasn't been seen since they did that last April. The Glenn Back program. If you want a healthy snack, you can have a nice, delightful little rice cake. Mmm, doesn't that sound delicious? Yeah.

But they're also made with 100% real chocolate and they have amazing flavor. that you're going to love. If you're skeptical, I get it. So is I. I didn't even try a built bar until I was really, really, really desperate. My wife was out of the house because he kept saying,

Starting point is 00:44:51 None of what you're hearing is making sense. The buzzword equality or equity. We already have equal opportunity. What are you talking about? That was fought and won. Now liberals are, well, there's one video I saw on TikTok bragging about this woman, this teacher, bragging about that she passes out pride flags every day to all of her students. She said she was doing it so that every day is a pride parade.
Starting point is 00:45:21 What? What? Why are they trying to indoctrinate our kids? Why are they trying to tell our sons and daughters that maybe they're in the wrong? body and then climate change what is happening I'm going to explain it to you in their own words from something long forgotten in 60 seconds trust is a word I don't throw around lightly and I sure you don't either when it comes to really big decisions in life the ones you really need somebody watching your back trust
Starting point is 00:46:03 is absolutely vital. Right now, it might be an actually really good time to be looking into the housing market. Interest rates are at historic lows, believe it, or I'm sorry, historic norms. We look at this and say, my gosh, the interest rates are so high. Actually, we are just at below normal. Just the last 15 years have been crazy. Now, if you're looking for a home, You might be able to find one at a better price than we've had for a while because those prices are coming down as well. One way or another, if you are looking to sell or buy a house, whether you have to or you want to, this is where trust comes in. Real estate agents, I trust. We will pair you up with someone in your area or the area you're moving to who understands the real estate business inside and out, and they're the top sellers that we vet personally on a regular basis.
Starting point is 00:47:03 It's the type of person you'll find yourself being friends with in the end. The type of person you'll find trusting to help you succeed. Real estate agents. I trust.com. That's real estate agents. I trust. Dot com. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:19 All right. So it's almost as if the Democrats have a different goal. Isn't it? I almost spit out my drink as you said that. Yes, it almost is that way. It almost feels that way. I don't know what it could be. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Well, let me tie a couple of things together. Do you remember when Stacey Abrams, a couple of weeks ago, said something incredible about inflation? Listen. I would assume, maybe incorrectly, but while abortion is an issue, it nowhere reaches the level of interest of voters in terms of the cost of gas, food, bread, milk, things like that.
Starting point is 00:48:05 What can a governor, what could you do as governor to alleviate the concerns of Georgia voters about those livability, daily, hourly issues that they're confronted with? But let's be clear. Having children is why you're worried about your price for gas. It's why you're concerned about how much food cost. For women, this is not a reductive issue.
Starting point is 00:48:26 You can't divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child. Okay, stop. Now, maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I never thought I would ever hear an American political party declare the answer to inflation is to kill your kids.
Starting point is 00:48:46 I mean, and that what she's saying? Abort your way to prosperity. Right. Now, if you want to understand that, I want to play something that was said this weekend from President Biden, cut three. The biggest thing is, though, that we have to change what we are those things that are affect the environment okay i barely understood that but he was saying the main priority here is the environment and climate change
Starting point is 00:49:19 okay now how does that explain what stacey abram said ha ha about to give you a decoder ring So, Jason, lead researcher on my staff, when he heard Stacey Abrams say that, he decided to Google two words. Inflation and abortion. Let's just roll the ice. Let's see what's happening. You wouldn't believe what Google pumped out. Activities relevant to the study of population policy for the United States. You see, long before.
Starting point is 00:49:58 the cult of climate change and before there was the global warming, there was global cooling. But before there was global cooling, there was the population bomb. This is about, you know, early 1960s. Progressives were all on board with the cult of population control. This is American eugenicists, okay? They were respected by progressives and tyrants all over the world. These were the guys back in those days in the early 60s. These were the same guys that had come from Germany that were doing all kinds of experiments.
Starting point is 00:50:36 And they were respected for their knowledge. So we started to read the memo. And I think it reads like a script from a horror movie. But it reveals what the left truly stands for. Whether they remember their origins or not, I'm going to just give you. this memo. And the first part is directly from the first page. And I want to quote it exactly.
Starting point is 00:51:04 This memorandum is responsive to your letter January 4th, seeking ideas on necessary and useful activities relevant to the formation of population policy defined as legislative measures, administrative programs and other governmental actions that are designed to alter population trends. So right off the bat kind of makes you wonder. I mean, it was the abortion thing really? Was that about women's rights? Or was it about some post-apocalyptic strategy to control population?
Starting point is 00:51:37 Well, it appears that at the time, they blamed American families, but not all families. Just families they wanted control of. Okay? Listen to this quote. To justify an explicit U.S. policy now of encouraging a specific universal law. limit on family-sized as distinguished from proposals aimed selectively at welfare recipients and racial groups. Wow.
Starting point is 00:52:07 So listen to this. The minorities, the poor. That's who they were targeting. The people on the left claim to care about the poor and minorities. Kind of makes you wonder about LBJ's great society, right? And his war on poverty makes you wonder. why the real effects of ensuing massive welfare state ended up making people poorer and breaking up families. And those families, those mothers being single, now having to have abortions.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Wow. The memo goes on to mention a mass wave of contraceptive handouts was the preferred method. But this is the part I find interesting. Quote, effective contraception is efficiently distributed. to all those who want it and if abortion is available on demand as a backup measure. So abortion on demand was not even their main plan. It was the backup plan. But I thought it was about women's rights.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Now here's where we get to the Stacey Abrams weird comment about inflation and abortion. It references inflation as something that goes hand in hand of full employment and thus to accept relatively high or at least not preventable unemployment levels as necessary, yet more women enter the labor market under conditions of full employment and the relationship between employment of women and lower fertility seems well established. An examination is needed of, in effect, the question of how much inflation could or should we risk to achieve lower fertility? Let me unpack that here. For one, They wanted women in the workforce, not for equal opportunity, but because, as it says in this study, women tend not to have so many babies.
Starting point is 00:54:10 So fertility goes down. And they thought that all of the women getting jobs might spike inflation, which it did. The price of housing doubled. You had two incomes now. So everything doubled. So they figured we have to measure this, the party of virtue. The memo comes up with an attachment that listed other proposed measures by population control experts. Now, it never said that these were actual plans by Planned Parenthood.
Starting point is 00:54:43 These are other proposals that they included. Restructure the family. Postpone or avoid marriage. Alter the image of the ideal family. Compulsory education of children. encourage increased homosexuality, educate for family limitation, fertility control agents in the water supply, encourage women to work. Now, these are a few, and they get nuttier and nuttier. Now, I'm not saying a Planned Parenthood plan to do any of this, but it shows to what links the academics were willing to go.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Fertility control agents in the water? how many Democratic flag bearer issues can you find in this memo? Compulsory education of children. How many of us have wondered why they are claiming their kids as or our kids as their kids? And they do not want to. And we excuse it saying, well, they don't want to, you know, because the unions, the unions are blocking it, because then they'll lose the jobs. Is it?
Starting point is 00:55:53 Is it that? Why are they ramming sexually explicit, comprehensive sexuality education into our school? Is it encouraged increased homosexuality? Because that's what it seems like the LGBTQ2 plus I lobby is fighting. They want more homosexuals. It's not you want rights. You got, okay, you got rights. You won that.
Starting point is 00:56:23 Why are why the hyper-sexualizing of kids and exposing them to drag queens in schools and libraries? Why? Educate for family limitation. Who's wondered why they've destroyed, they've shouted, destroy the nuclear family? Encourage women to work. Isn't workplace gender discrimination illegal? So what's the fight really about there? Regarding the education, they keep referencing both kids and families, check out this quote from the full memo.
Starting point is 00:57:00 In this area, it seems particularly important to distinguish between education and indoctrination. Whatever may be the merits and effectiveness of a truly educational effort, an indoctrination campaign may well have the only negligible effects on fertility values, but may provide unintended support in building public opinion, which seeks legalize compulsory fertility control for selected groups, and I'm quoting, particularly welfare recipients. The admission here is insane. Indoctrination, they admit, has its bonuses, especially on poor people.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Google the words until it changed. change the algorithm. Google the words abortion and inflation. You'll find the whole memo. So when I played cut three from Biden. Played again, please. The biggest thing is, though, that we have to change what we are, those things that are, affect the environment.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Okay. Okay. Have you noticed that the policies that they are pushing put the environment over people, Right now, common sense would say, we're about to go to war with Russia. We must have oil. We've got to open up oil fields and pumping and gas lines. You've got people that are going to freeze to death in Germany and all over Europe, and they won't open up and full power their nuclear.
Starting point is 00:59:06 power plants? Why? Why? It's almost like it's Malthusian. It's anti-human. Yeah, not a lot has changed. Not a lot has changed. This is Planned Parenthood in the 1970s. This is what they were saying behind closed doors. good heavens, what are they saying behind closed doors now? Back in a minute. Julia wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor. She says, I wanted to know how much, I wanted you to know how much I love Relief Factor. I've had my right knee and both my hips replaced. Ooh, they've been giving me grief for a number of years.
Starting point is 00:59:59 But ever since I started using Relief Factor, I can climb stairs normally instead of one at a time. It is so much better now. Thank you, Relief Factor. Listen, if you're dealing with pain, give Relief Factor a try. It is not a drug that's going to space you out. It's natural, developed by doctors. And it has four key ingredients that work with your body to fight inflammation, which causes most of our pain. The three-week quick start developed just for you is only 1995.
Starting point is 01:00:26 It's a dollar a day. It's a trial pack. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more. It says a lot. So go to Relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief. 1-800, the number 4 relief. Get the 1995, three-week quick start developed for you. Relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief.
Starting point is 01:00:47 Relief factor, feel the difference. 10 seconds, station ID. You know, when you look at what they're talking about for the environment, that we're just not going to make it, this is what they said when I was growing up, except it was global cooling. Then, later it became global warming. Then, when it was cooling and warming,
Starting point is 01:01:23 They were like, oh, it's global climate change. But they told us in the 60s. And remember, the Nancy Pelosi's of the world grew up with this ideology that you've got to control the population. There are just too many people. People even my age don't really remember the population bomb as people in the next generation do. That was a big part of their life. It's very pervasive still to this day. Yes.
Starting point is 01:01:55 I'll never forget you doing an interview with William Shatner. Do you remember this? Yes, I do. And it was a really good interview. You guys had a great conversation. He was funny. You know, you guys had a good chemistry. It was great.
Starting point is 01:02:09 And at one point, he just kind of blurts out in the middle of the conversation that, like, we have to stop the population from growing and goes into this really Malthusian sort of rant that obviously was. very central to his belief system. Oh yeah. You know, it wasn't just a flippant thing. No. And he kind of expected you to just go, yeah, I know, there's just way too many people. And you did not.
Starting point is 01:02:35 I kind of feel like that's the opposite of our goal. And maybe this is why I feel so, you know, passionately about life as I know you do and why the other side is so for taking innocent life before it's born. This idea that like, my goal is not to limit the amount of people on the other side. on this globe. Like, I think it's a really good thing that we have a lot more people, that more people are surviving longer, that people continue to be born.
Starting point is 01:03:03 I mean, these are weird things to feel like you need to say out loud, but it is a major point of disagreement between the two arguments that we have in this world politically. I want more people to be alive. I want more of them.
Starting point is 01:03:21 That's crazy. More. And you know, this happened in World War I too. They actually talked about reducing the surplus population with World War I. World War I, it's going to kill some people. It's going to really kill all the right people, the people we want to be killed. You know, all those suffering in poverty and those undesirables, they're the ones that are going to get killed.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Not our elite families. And this idea of population control has been around for a long time. Me, because I believe the soul is sacred and I believe the soul, it's not like somebody's just printing up soul after soul. They each come unique. You know this if you have children. Each of your children come out with their own personality. And I believe that those souls are sacred and need. a body and we're going to, we should do it. And we'll figure out a way to deal with it. And that might
Starting point is 01:04:23 be eventually colonizing another planet. It may be. But I don't know. I have this weird optimism that you know, the world will provide, like this is, there's a plan here. I know, this is crazy. But like, I think the world can provide for the amount of people we have on it. And you know what? It seems like every single time there's an increase in people, we wind up coming up with really amazing innovations to do much, much more for so many more people. Unless... It's incredible. Unless society is controlled by a big government.
Starting point is 01:04:56 Those who want less people on Earth. Yes. And it is always that way. Big governments always end up in the hands of people who want less people. I'm going to show you how insane their argument is on climate change and how Malthusian is. Next. The Glenn Beck Program. program. American financing NMLS 1-8-2334,

Use the promo code, Glenn. I want to put into perspective what you are facing. There is too much debt in the world, and we are inflating that debt away. Central banks are. And it will inflate everything that you have.
Starting point is 01:07:03 away. You are looking at a time right now where we could be at war at any time. We just put the 101st Airborne Division into Europe to back NATO up and the Pentagon said yesterday they are ready to go. They could go into Ukraine at any time. That's terrifying. Do you want the United States to be at war with our soldiers with Russia and Ukraine? By the way, that will only make your gas, your food, everything else much more expensive. And you will learn if this occurs that is the least of your worries. Yes. You will not be caring about gas prices if this thing breaks out in real terms. This is not good at all. Not good at all. And why has this really been done? This has been done because of the fight over pipelines, oil pipelines.
Starting point is 01:08:05 The West has decided we're going to cut off all oil and gas. Going to cut it off. You don't need it anymore. Well, actually, you do, but, you know, we're going to destroy it all so then we can't go back. That's basically what they're doing right now. And they're doing it out in the open. And they're claiming that this is for climate. but it's not for climate.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Fires burn more than 4 million acres, admitting twice as much greenhouse gas as the state of California's total reductions over the last 20 years. So one wildfire season nullified two decades worth of reductions. This is not about, you can't, you can't contain. what's happening. And in the places where they're, they're not insane, just evil, places like China,
Starting point is 01:09:07 they've completely changed the game. Oh my gosh. It's incredible. Let me put this in the framework of the Inflation Reduction Act for a moment. Now, you know that this act had nothing to do with inflation. I'm not breaking news there. But Joe Biden talked about this, really the only thing they talked about in this bill was the climate stuff. Right. He said this bill is the biggest step forward on climate ever, ever. And it's going to allow us to boldly take additional step toward meeting all of my climate goals and the ones we set out when we ran. So this is the most important climate legislation ever, ever.
Starting point is 01:09:41 Now, Kamala Harris was asked what her favorite part of this climate legislation was, and she gave an amazing answer. What are some parts of the Inflation Reduction Act, this amazing new law that you are most excited about? I mean, so much. One of the things that I'm very excited about is what we have been doing in terms of electric vehicles. Okay. And I have a particular fondness, I must tell you, for electric school buses.
Starting point is 01:10:12 I love electric school buses. I love them, too. I really do, and we're manufacturing them in our country. I've been to the manufacturing plants. I've been on these electric school buses and think about it. Aside from the pandemic, On a daily basis, 25 million children in our country.
Starting point is 01:10:30 Every day go to school. What? On those diesel-fueled school buses. Wow. The wheels of the bus go round and round. It's so incredible. So there is a line, by the way, in the bill. She's not lying here about electric school buses.
Starting point is 01:10:46 It's about clean, heavy-duty vehicles. The EPA funding program, class six and electric commercial vehicles, including trucks, transit, buses, and school buses. Oh. funding one billion dollars. Okay, so a billion dollars. Billion dollars, it's nothing.
Starting point is 01:11:01 Let's just take that entire program and dump it all into electric school buses for a second. And so we'll skip the regular buses, the other transit, the trucks, the commercial vehicles. Let's skip all that. Just say what all went to electric school buses, because it's obviously the biggest part of this bill to come. Right. We could buy 2,857 school buses because each one costs between $300,000 each. Okay. So we can buy it with a billion dollars, we can buy how many?
Starting point is 01:11:28 2,857 school buses. 2,000. Now, give me an over under. How many school buses do you think there are in America? Over 2,857 or under? It's going to be close, but I think it's over. It's over, you're right. Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:43 Yes, there's 500,000 school buses. Wow. So for 2,857 of them, you just have to spend a billion dollars. You have to spend a little more to get to all of them. But let's look at this in context now. Okay. Okay. There was a little announcement.
Starting point is 01:11:59 Came out last week. Nobody noticed it. No one paid attention to this announcement at all. It came out with headlines like China vows boost domestic energy supplies step up risk control. That was like one of the headlines. You're going to read that article? No. Nobody's clicking on that.
Starting point is 01:12:13 Is that clickbait? No. Not clickbait. So let me just give you just a quick outline of what it said. The ruling party, the Communist Party, aims for annual coal production to rise to 4.6,000, billion tons in 2025, a deputy director of the cabinet's National Energy Association, Ren Jingdong said. Love him.
Starting point is 01:12:31 I love Ren Jingdong. Have you read all the Jingdongs? Have you read all of his books? He's my favorite Jingdong. Yeah. Yeah. You know, that's Ren. Ren Jingdong.
Starting point is 01:12:40 Love him. He's go, that might be Kylo Ren's last night. He is. No, no, he's actually the, uh, the, the iconic, uh, image used for Ren and Stimpy. Oh, really? I did not know that. Yeah. Anyway, go ahead.
Starting point is 01:12:53 Okay, so up 12%. That's your big headline. I didn't even pay attention to that now. So that was just one part of one announcement. Okay. But what he said was pretty important there because just the increase, not the whole amount of coal there won. No, no, no, not at all.
Starting point is 01:13:09 No, just the increase. Just the increase in the use of coal. Not all fossil fuels. Right, just coal. Just coal. Got got it. Okay. Is enough to wipe out the emission savings from the most
Starting point is 01:13:22 important part of the most important climate bill ever, ever by quite a bit. Remember, we spent months talking about this at the top of every single news broadcast, right? This is the most important climate bill ever.
Starting point is 01:13:40 Just the increase is enough to cause more than 20,000 times as many admissions as the most important part of the most important bill ever. 20,000 times. That thing that no one mentioned on the news that no one cared about, that little announcement, 20,000 times as much as the electric school bus thing. Now, let's just say we could go crazy.
Starting point is 01:14:06 And let's say we convert every single school bus. The whole 500,000, we do it all. That would cost us $175 billion at least, but let's just say we do it anyway. Some other environmental concerns go along with that. We could get into that another time. But just that. just this little announcement about this one type of fuel
Starting point is 01:14:26 in this one country one time is enough to wipe out all the school buses in America going electric 119 times over. In fact let's go a little more relatable here. Okay. Think of it at the SUV. We've got to take our SUVs off the road.
Starting point is 01:14:44 Yeah. Gotta get those SUVs off the road. Have to. Let's go to one of the most popular SUVs ever, the Ford Explorer. Yeah. Now, just this one and announcement from this one country about this one kind, not all fossil fuels, right, about just the increase of this one kind of fossil fuel would be the same, the equivalent of adding 96,000 437,000, 228 Ford Explorers to the world. Now, that's a problem because it's 29 times more than they've ever produced. So it might be a tad problematic to.
Starting point is 01:15:22 do that. But you're saying there's a chance. No. This is the equipment, just this one announcement from this one country about this one fossil fuel is the equivalent of 82% of all vehicles on the road in the United States. Oh my gosh. No what if they cared about global warming. If that was really the goal, wouldn't that lead every broadcast? Because the issue here, Glenn, and the most important part of this.
Starting point is 01:15:52 is it's just from some random evil dictator who just had his predecessor escorted out of a meeting against his will. And we have absolutely no control over him. In fact, you could make the point that recently it seems like he has a lot of control over us. And so we can all. And every policy we're doing. Every policy that we're doing. Weakens us to make them stronger. Right.
Starting point is 01:16:18 And you know what? We can pass the biggest climate bill ever. and it gets completely wiped out by one announcement by President G that nobody tells you about, and we have absolutely no control over. You are changing your life for that nonsense. It's all wiped out immediately, and this happens every few years. They announce these increases, we don't even look at them, and it wipes out everything that we're doing. All the trillions of dollars, all the money that we're spending, giving people money to go buy a Tesla, right?
Starting point is 01:16:51 All of that is completely inconsequential. He just wiped out 82% of all vehicles if we took them off the road. We would be breaking even. Not just turning them into electric vehicles or hybrids. Taking 82% of all the vehicles in the United States off the road tomorrow would just be the equivalent of what this guy announced in some meeting the media didn't tell you about. So let me ask you, are you willing to send your son or daughter over to, fight for something this flawed?
Starting point is 01:17:29 Because that is going to be in the winter. That's what they're going to say. It's because look at the people are starving, they're cold. Well, you know what's making them starving and cold? Our policy on climate change. Our policy on oil. Our policy to get out of all fossil fuels and anything that will make a cow fart. They are changing absolutely everything, and your son or daughter is going to be asked to serve and fight.
Starting point is 01:18:02 You don't ship the 101st airborne over to the border of Ukraine for no reason. You're playing a very dangerous game, and I'm not hearing enough people talk about it. There is no debate on this. And I don't know a single person who is in favor of war, but I'm telling you this administration is in favor of war. And by the way, Republicans can't do a damn thing about it. They can't do anything about it until January. And it's all for nonsense.
Starting point is 01:18:45 ESG, everything that is happening in your life, in your business is all happening because of this warped anti-human philosophy.

Starting point is 01:22:01 make sure that you understand it and don't feel awkward if you don't
Starting point is 01:22:07 if you can't remember what Malthusian theory is this started in just around the turn of the century, 1800, 1798, there was an essay that was published, the essay on the principle of population by Robert Malthus.
Starting point is 01:22:24 And it developed, it was all about, hey, people are going to keep having babies and the richer our population becomes. We'll have more and more babies, and that will cause more and more food need. that will eat up more and more of our farmland and we'll just, we'll end up ravishing the earth and having nothing left. And that, uh, that's been proven wrong over and over and over and over again. But the spirit of that lives in climate control, the spirit of that lives, uh, in, um, in population control, obviously. Anything to curb the population. growth. You know, Mao was not a Malthusian, but he believed in birth control and population
Starting point is 01:23:21 control for many of the same reasons. This is an absolute lie, and I believe it is evil. But if you look at what are we doing, really, what is it that we are trying to do? We're trying to kill our children. We're trying to turn them into asexual people, bisexual, gay, lesbian, trans. We're, we are putting chemicals into our children's bodies now, and it's being heralded on by the same people here. And they are sterilizing those children. Those children will never be able to have children. And they're the same people that believe in climate change, that the earth is going to just be destroyed by too many people doing too many things. That's what's really happening here. And we're on the eve of going to war that will further reduce the population.
Starting point is 01:24:22 Alrighty then. I saw a, I saw a disturbing story from Bloomberg last week. And I haven't mentioned it because I wanted to make sure I had some facts on it. I called Carol Roth. I called everybody I know and they were like, ah, that doesn't seem. Well, I don't know. Let me look into it. Carol is here to explain this. Here's what I found in Bloomberg. Asia has net imported gold from the West since April. The trade flow. Into China, 160 tons of gold. Into India, 80 tons. Into Turkey. 62. Thailand. 3.3 tons.3 tons.2. Thailand. 38 tons, Saudi Arabia, 20 tons, Malaysia, 4 tons, Hong Kong, 3 tons. Where do they get all this gold?
Starting point is 01:26:16 Well, the UK sold 15 tons of gold from their treasury, 32 tons South Africa, Canada 33, Australia 34 tons, and the United States of America sold 136 tons of gold. did we send that to China? Why are we selling gold when smart money would be buying gold? Hopefully, Carol, will have an answer for us in 60 seconds. By the way, as we're talking about this, let me tell you about gold line. The United States top economists are saying that we will enter a recession in the coming 12 months if we aren't already in one. The only reason why we're still debating this is because the Republican,
Starting point is 01:27:05 don't have control of the House or the Senate. As soon as they get control of the House of the Senate, I can guarantee you we're in a recession and it's their policies that put us into one. In fact, Joe Biden said it just this weekend. They're going to collapse the economy. That's their plan to collapse the economy. Oh, shot.
Starting point is 01:27:24 How do we... I was going to say, how do we deal with the amount of lies and smoke screens that are put out? Well, you just have to know what's true. What is true always has value. The dollar won't always have value because it's no longer true. There is no full faith and credit in the United States of America anymore. So what is true? What does the world always respond to? Gold. They always look what China is doing in India. And then look at what we're doing. Goldline has a deal this week on their historic graded $5 gold
Starting point is 01:28:05 Indian coins with every box of 20 of the graded coin, you're going to receive 100 of the silver mind your business bars at no cost. That's a great deal. Both of these items are ideal for barter, not that I would suggest you would do this. I'm a coin collector myself. 866 Goldline, 866 Goldliner, goldline.com. Carol, please tell me there's, there's, I'm reading too much into this. Please tell me. Please tell me. So this has been a little bit of a Nancy Drew mystery for me, Glenn. I saw this Bloomberg piece as well, and it was a little bit of a head scratcher. So I'm going to take you through some of the things that I found, and hopefully we can piece this together. Okay. This is really weird because I, I mean, I went to some
Starting point is 01:28:52 really big brains that know this kind of stuff. No one had an answer for me. Okay. So I think so I'm going to wrap it in a bow first and then I'm going to walk it back. But I think this is the short-term trader mindset versus people who have a long-term view on the world. So this is short-termism versus long-termism. So the first thing that we have to understand, the first thing I did is went, oh my gosh, all of this gold is flowing east. Where is it coming from? So as our central bank, that dumb that they're selling gold? So I pulled up a chart of central banks. And central banks have actually been net buyers of gold for most of the year since April, which is the same time period as the chart, this April to August, they have pretty much everybody is a purchaser of gold.
Starting point is 01:29:43 There's almost, you know, just a tiny little bit of selling. Every central bank of the world, which means that we're, even if we're not purchasing it, we're not selling any. There's almost no net sales. So that means our central bank isn't the one that's selling this. We'll take that off the table. Do you, is this, here's what I couldn't figure out either. Is the Treasury the same as the Central Bank? Is the Central Bank have all of the Treasury's gold? So they're probably not, but let me walk through where I think this is coming from.
Starting point is 01:30:17 Okay. So the second piece I went to is the consumer market. And consumers seeing what's going on with inflation, understanding that are recessions here and that it's going to get worse next year, have all. been buying. And by the way, we can't supply them. So both here in the U.S. as well, particularly in the East, much more in the East, there's been an additional premium. And so I'm going, what's going on here? What you have to understand about the market for gold is that the prices for the gold that you, when you call a gold line to buy your gold like you and I do, Glenn, you're buying physical
Starting point is 01:30:56 gold. But that price isn't being set by the supply and demand of you and I buying it. it's being set by the futures market, by these traders who are trading contracts. And all of these derivative products, the options, the futures, they are so much larger than the underlying product. And yes, if this sounds like a familiar story, it is one. But the research estimates put the side of these futures market at $200 to $300 trillion of value being traded. when the underlying supply of gold, the underlying supply of gold is like $11 to $12 trillion. This is why I say all the time, don't buy paper gold. Don't do it. Don't do it. You will be worthless in the end. Exactly. So let me tell you what's happening. So these traders are looking just not at what's happening in terms of the physical supply and demand, but they're looking at little blips on their screen. And they're saying, oh, well, historically, when we have a,
Starting point is 01:32:01 strong dollar, that means that's not good for gold. So we should probably get out of it as the Fed tightens their monetary policy. They have gotten to the point where these crazy traders are actually net short on gold, meaning that they have sold more than they have. And this is only the third time since 2014 that this has happened. It's happened in 2015. It happened in 2018. And what my researchers have told me as both of those times, as you can imagine, when you have all of these shorts out there, but this crazy macroeconomic environment, it is prime for a short squeeze, and that have set major floors, and there has been huge rallies in gold. So once again, we have the financialization of a product, a product that is very important to us, you know, being bastardized
Starting point is 01:32:52 by Wall Street. And what happens in China, in India and other parts of Asia, is that they're smart. They go, well, the price is falling. We should load up on it. Buy low, sell high. So they actually create a floor for the price of gold because they know they can get it at cheaper prices than it's actually worth. And so they go in and they load up on it. And that's the tenor of what has been happening here, which is just complete insanity. So my speculation, it's that institutional investors' gold that is flowing because these traders are doing the same thing that the traders always do there, being short-term, grubby, greedy, and not looking at the bigger macro environment.
Starting point is 01:33:36 But then that means that we're doing that. Then we as a nation are, we're going to be the opposite of the big short, right? We're selling when we should be buying. So the good news is our central bank, our country. has, and again, this is if this is true, right? So I'm just going to report what's being reported. I can't, I did not go to Fort Knox and verify that the gold is actually there. But we actually have the most gold in the world by a country. I don't know if I believe that. But they say, they say that is 85 or 84. 8100 tons. Tons. How much is that worth?
Starting point is 01:34:18 I knew you were going to ask me that question. And it was Monday. And my calculator wasn't big enough. Try it. It's a lot. Because I look at it, and I think it's in the two or three digit trillions. Give me the number one more time? It is. 8100 tons of people. 8100, which is about 32,000 ounces per ton.
Starting point is 01:34:38 32,000 ounces per ton. Yeah. And gold is trading at about $1,700 an ounce. So how much is, if they say we have this, to me it makes no sense. But $1,700 an ounce, you said? Correct. Yeah, it's a big number. Yeah, go ahead.
Starting point is 01:34:56 Try to figure it out. I know. Hold on. Okay. Here we go. This is a lot for a Monday, guys. Yeah, $440 billion plus. No, no, no, no, billion.
Starting point is 01:35:06 It's got to be more than that. It's got to be a trillion. You said 32,000, I mean, I'm going by your numbers here. 32,000 ounces. Yep. Per. Times 8. 32,000 times 8,800, 10,000, 10,700.
Starting point is 01:35:19 8,700. 700. I'm 1700. Right. So I'll do it again. Eighty-one-hundred times 32,000 times 1700 is, let's see. Yeah, 440 billion. So again, I think maybe is you're, are you sure you about that number of 32,000 ounces per, I don't know my conversion? I will look at, I will look it up. It's not going to look it up. So low. Yeah, that's, that's way too low. It's got to be in the trillions. It's got to be in the trillions. It's got to be in the trillions. It's probably somewhere, I would say between $440 billion and a trillion dollars. I don't I don't know from just from the because again, like you said, it's just the central bank piece of it. But at any rate, the U.S., the U.S. has more
Starting point is 01:36:01 than, you know, any other individual country. The Eurozone as a group actually has more than the U.S. And on a, you know, sort of tons to GDP, you know, value standpoint, you know, we are, you know, we are not quite at our GDP, but we're in a sort of good position. The only ones that are really stacking up via their GDP is the Eurozone and Russia. And now China is starting to continue to add to that. So, you know, it's a very strange situation. And it's also a strange situation, Glenn, if you think about the fact that the traders are doing this based on quote unquote dollar strength, because they are looking at the dollars strength versus other currencies.
Starting point is 01:36:46 But they are not looking at the dollar's lack of strength at home. The dollar is not strong when you go to buy your groceries or you go to pay your rent or you go to heat your house. And so that is the challenge. That is what we are. When we go and we buy physical gold, that's one of the things that we are protecting against, this continued debasement and the value of the dollar. So there really is a setup here potentially for some sort of a squeeze or even the collapse at some point here of the paper gold market, which means then eventually things would change to going off the actual. bot price, the supply and demand, which is how this should be based to start. Okay.
Starting point is 01:37:25 So I should not be worried that Bloomberg's headline is Gold's Great Migration sends Bullion rushing East. No, I think you should be worried. And I think the reason that you should be worried is because the people in Asia are taking a long-term view and the people in the West are not. And that is going to come back to bite us. And by the way, usually this ends up flowing back. When the price goes high, in the past, it is flowed back.
Starting point is 01:37:54 You know, because, of course, we're going to buy it at the higher price. Which is so stupid. Which makes no sense. But the people I'm talking to who really know this stuff say not this time. We're in a new financial world order. Something is going to shift here. And so don't expect that flow to come back the other way. Wow.
Starting point is 01:38:13 One last thing with you, Carol, and I appreciate your work on this because I couldn't make heads or tails of this. And our gold situation is so not transparent in America. It's a travesty. It really is. Something needs to change with this market. It does. The other question is, we just sent the 101st Airborne over to support NATO. The Pentagon said this weekend, we are ready to, we're ready to go to war if we have to go to war with Russia and Ukraine.
Starting point is 01:38:44 what does war mean to our economy if it starts with Russia? I mean, you know, there's obviously a bunch of layers of different scenarios depending on how bad it is. Certainly the defense sector will be doing very well. And it's just a question of, you know, how much since it's being fought over there, you know, how much of what we're doing ends up being disrupted, or does it end up being something that looks more like the recent wars that we've had in, you know, Afghanistan and the like. So I think it really depends on the scope. But certainly,
Starting point is 01:39:21 you know, if we get into a big escalation here and this, you know, becomes something that is like a world war, a true world war, I think we can all, you know, pretty much not take a big leap of faith to guess that that is not going to be a good sign for our economy, particularly at the time when the economy is breaking down and the Federal Reserve has been taking steps to damage the economy to do that quote unquote demand destruction to create higher unemployment, all of those things. You know, not that there's ever a good time for war, but it will just exacerbate those issues. Okay.
Starting point is 01:40:00 I would love you to look into something else. Right now, Biden is saying the GOP is going to collapse the economy. What he's saying is they're going to shut down the government. but that is a lie. You can shut the government down, pay your bills, and not go defunct. Can you not? I would love them. I mean, that's the best thing ever when they shut down the government, then they can't
Starting point is 01:40:25 spend any money. He is basically setting this up because he knows that the Republicans have a strong chance here, and he knows that the economy is going into a worse position. So he's basically setting up the blame for the things that he has created. He's already pinning it on what is. going to have. Right. I'd like you to look into how the government actually pays its bills and you don't, you don't go into default if you're a nation. If you, if you shut down, there are ways to do it so you don't go into default. So we can stop the scare tactics. And we can bust this, you know, I have this
Starting point is 01:40:59 great deficit myth when you have a $1.4 trillion deficit on 40% more spending. We'd love to chat about that way. Yeah. Okay, good. Thank you very much. Carol, we'll have you on maybe later this week. we'll cover both of those things. Sounds great. That's Carol Roth. You can follow Carol at Carol Roth. Carol Roth.com slash Glenn is where you'll be taken to her page where you'll find all the information she does with us.
Starting point is 01:41:26 Carol Roth.com slash Glenn. At any point, I am willing to commit to the idea that 8100 times 32,000 times 1700 is $440 billion plus. That does not seem like enough. does it? I don't know. I mean, I mean, I know the math. The math is the math.
Starting point is 01:41:45 But I kept, I kept looking at that and I was, I wasn't, I don't know what you're saying. What do you mean you're driving in the car and doing this? No, I would, not me. But I, hmm? But I kept looking at the number and I'm like, I can't even, how many, how many digits is that? Anyway. You shouldn't be looking at the number while you're driving. I'm not.
Starting point is 01:42:06 I wasn't, of course not. Please authorities. Arrest this man. All right. You know, what's worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm or a rotten spot? You know, the worse than that is biting into an apple and finding half a worm. That's probably worse. What's worse than that? Cybercrime.
Starting point is 01:42:27 I mean, I was out of things to say. What's worse at finding out about cybercrime? Finding out it happened months ago. And now it's finally catching up to you. It's important to understand how cybercrime and I, identity theft or affecting our lives. We do everything online, everything. I will tell you, we are going to have massive disruptions.
Starting point is 01:42:49 If we go into war, I pray we do not. But if we go into war, we're going to have a cyber war. Russia is ready for it. And a lot of things are going to be lost. Please, please, don't cut cybersecurity out of your life. You can prevent identity theft, but not in all cases, and you really have to be vigilant. That's why I have Norton on my side.

I mean, we're for, no, I'm sorry, we're $31 trillion in debt. $31 trillion in debt. You tax 100% on every rich person in America. Top 10% you take it away.
Starting point is 01:44:20 It doesn't cover one year. That's it. You pay the gold. $400 billion worth of gold. That's nothing. We spend $400 billion when they sneeze in Washington. That's crazy. You know, again, I don't know this stuff as well as you do.
Starting point is 01:44:41 I'm just, you know, just doing the math here. But it's still a lot of money. It used to be a lot of money. It used to be. You remember when $400 billion was a lot? I keep going back to, you know, I guess it's because you know these stories from your life and your lived experience. But my lived experience as we were entering into sort of national politics and you were, you know, the show was starting to take off. And, you know, as far as the television thing goes, I just remember debating that $787 billion bailout bill.
Starting point is 01:45:11 You know, I remember talking about how what a big deal that was. The stimulus bill, $787 billion. And John Kerry go, you know. I mean, going back all the way to carry, you remember these big numbers. I used to vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it. I mean, all of these things that are there and they used to be big numbers are no longer big numbers. That's a problem. People should notice it more.
Starting point is 01:45:38 Coming up, I'm going to show you why the government cannot fix our problems, how it'll only make our problems worse. I read something by Charles Hughes Smith of two minds this weekend. And I learned the Glenn Back program. The history of rat farms. That's coming up in just a second. So if you're somebody who prides yourself on planning ahead and getting ahead of all those difficult things or emergency situations, what if you have in mind if your car is out of warranty and breaks down?

Starting point is 01:47:57 example, I looked into rat farming over the weekend. Don't ask me how, don't ask me why. But it started with an article written by Charles Hughes Smith of Two Minds blog. And it is fascinating. And it takes you back to around the turn of the century 1900. And it is the story of how colonial authorities in Hanoi came to establish two kinds of rat farms. And one was intentional. The first rat farm was unintentional. The French colonial authorities decided to modernize the French quarter of Hanoi, where the Westerners lived, by constructing a modern sewer system.
Starting point is 01:48:47 The goal was establish a little Paris in the east. Now, their understanding of sewers was limited to the first order effect. First order, second order effect, important to understand. First order effect, that's where it ended. Sewers collect and dispose of human waste. That's first order. What are you doing to build a sewer? Well, what's the effect of that?
Starting point is 01:49:12 Well, it's going to take all the fleshy parts and flush them out into the ocean or wherever. Okay. That's all they understood. They didn't anticipate the second order effect, which was sewers are paradises for rats. Now, there was a whole new rat's nest ready to crawl through. All of these pipes. And it was full of food that rats just loved. So the second order is unintended consequences.
Starting point is 01:49:49 First order is, that's what we're going to do. Second is, oh, crap, we just did this and it was a good thing. Now we've created this problem. Okay? So second order effects, consequences have their own consequences, and so on and so on. So the rats started in the sewers and they began roaming the streets of Hanoi, not exactly the Paris of the East. So the bubonic plague hits, Hanoi, 2000, or sorry, in 1902. And now you've got a real health crisis going on.
Starting point is 01:50:30 What caused the health crisis? Oh, the rats, which were caused by the sewers, which was caused by the idea I really want to have a nice Paris-type town. So what do they do? Well, they hired crews to go down into the sewer and kill the rats. It was not fun. Crappy work. But, um, and hazardous. Now, they killed thousands of rats every single day.
Starting point is 01:51:05 But rat fertility is more than a match for the extermination crews. So then the city says, You know what? Everybody, you catch a rat. You catch a rat. We'll give you a bounty for every dead rat. Well, everybody got involved. And then it was, you know, we got a pile of dead rats.
Starting point is 01:51:30 Just bring us the tail. Because the pile of rats waiting to be disposed of was too expensive. So what did they want to do? Make sure they didn't have a pile of dead rats. Unintended consequence. by saying, okay, just bring us the tail. Rat farms began to sprout up because you could cut the tail of a rat off and hand it in. And I'm not sure if the rat would grow another tail, but it would at least be there to breed.
Starting point is 01:52:02 That's incredible. I love this scam. Is this not great? Right? So they discovered that they had started to have prevailed. perverse incentives. Rat farms were built all around Honoy by private sector entrepreneurs to maximize the harvesting of profitable rat tails.
Starting point is 01:52:28 So in effect, the government created two rat farms, both unintended, really, the sewers and the private sector rat farm. In 1998, the Vietnamese authorities closed restaurants selling cat meat. which was marketed as little tiger meat because they thought of it, you know, if the cat population decreased, rats would invade the rice fields, showcasing the same mentality that it happened before. Happened, happened again, happened again. Rats. And what do we do with the rats? Here's the thing. If you look at our society now, everything we are trying to fix, let's fix education. Let's fix health care. Let's fix homelessness. We're going to fix our intelligence gathering, our national defense.
Starting point is 01:53:29 What do we do? We pour all kinds of money into this sewer system. And who's in the sewer system? People who are now administrators, support staff, consultants, con artists, con artists, some good people in there. but the system wants the money to keep flowing. So they're not incentivized to actually solve a problem. They actually become people to protect the paradise of more and more funding.
Starting point is 01:54:09 This is why the free market works and why the government must get out of the market. because once they start protecting their boys, it becomes a rat hole. It's another rat farm. You've got to get the government out of the farming business, out of the rat problem, because they're the biggest source of them. This reminds me of a story I freaking love from a couple of weeks ago.
Starting point is 01:54:44 In New York, they had a gun buyback. Exactly right. Right? And they look, first order effects. We're going to get guns off the streets and we're going to make everybody safer. Of course, they don't think of the second order, which it means that law-abiding citizens can no longer protect themselves. But I'm not even talking about that one. One guy saw how stupid it was and got his 3D printer out and started 3D printing a small device that can convert firearms into fully automatic weapons.
Starting point is 01:55:12 Under the rules of the buyback, and this is by Letitia James, by the way, in New York. and city police that entitled him to $350 for each printed part, including a $100 premium since they were deemed ghost guns lacking serial numbers. So these are just little 3D printed parts. He kept doing it and doing it and doing it and eventually made himself $21,000 for just printing the look. He was never going to use as automatic weapons. And he shouldn't go to jail?
Starting point is 01:55:44 No, no, I don't think he is. He played by the rules. Exactly right. Did exactly what they asked him to do. Exactly right. Made $21,000. He said he did not do it for the money, however. He said he called the idea of buybacks ridiculously stupid, adding that, quote,
Starting point is 01:55:58 the people running this event are horribly uneducated about guns, gun crime, and the laws surrounding the regulation of guns. I want to give you one other story that's been in the news. It is Steve Bannon going to prison. You might not care. Your friends may not care. That's a pretty important thing. He was found guilty on two criminal misdemeanor counts of contempt of Congress for failure to comply to the January 6 committee's subpoena.
Starting point is 01:56:31 One count was for his refusal to appear for a deposition. The other was for his refusal to produce documents. Both come with a minimum punishment of one month in prison up to a year and a hundred, $100 up to $100,000. Now, so you know, contempt of Congress has been around since the 1790s. It was made a criminal offense in 1857. Every person who have been summoned as a witness authority, either House of Congress give testimony or produce papers willfully makes default or who having appeared refuses to answer any questions pertinent to the question under the inquiry shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. the decision to prosecute is not made by Congress.
Starting point is 01:57:24 It's made by the DOJ. So that's where you get Lois Lerner. Lois Lerner was held in contempt of Congress, but she was never tried. Eric Holder found in contempt for the Operation of Fast and Furious. They decided the DOJ not to prosecute. Okay. Has anybody ever been prosecuted for this?
Starting point is 01:57:53 Yes, a couple of people. DOJ went to Rita LaVelle. She was a former EPA official. She was charged with contempt of Congress during an investigation into mismanagement of about a billion-dollar toxic waste cleanup program. She was acquitted in 83 by a jury, but she was imprisoned for lying to Congress. Lying to Congress. DOJ has to push that. 1974 G. Gordon Liddy found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress giving a suspended sentence six months and a year of probation since he was already serving time for his role in Watergate.
Starting point is 01:58:31 That was the Department of Justice. So who's been sent to prison for contempt of Congress? Well, Steve Bannon. Oh, you want me to, well, I found well. I found one. in 1961. But 1961, it was Frank Wilkinson and Carl Braden. They were jailed after refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Oh, and the Hollywood 10?
Starting point is 01:59:13 You always hear about the Hollywood 10. What a miscarriage of justice that was. These guys went to prison just because they wouldn't turn their friends in. Hollywood 10 jailed for refusing to cooperate with the House of Un-American Activities Committee. That was the last time anyone went to prison. Isn't it interesting that only when we no longer understand civil rights, when we have a government that is out of control, that's when we put people in jail.
Starting point is 01:59:52 Well, at least political prisoners in jail. I don't mind if people go to jail for this, as long. as it's a thorough list. You lie to Congress, you refuse to show up with papers, go to jail and go to jail happily, in some ways, like the 10 did because they know we're going to be remembered in history
Starting point is 02:00:16 as being on the right side of freedom of speech. But to put Steve Bannon in and not Lois Lerner, not even suggesting that the DOJ even look into it, nothing to see there, or a gun running operation under holder and nothing happens. If they can do that to Steve Bannon, they will do it to you. Think back the other day when we had a good economy in the country. Wow, I was a kid. No, I wasn't a kid.
Starting point is 02:00:52 Wow, I was just two years ago. Little surprised to realize that things can change. kind of just hit you sometimes, you know, inflation wasn't out of control. The market was up. Business was booming. We hadn't entered the age of ice cream president yet. Oh, what's your favorite flavor? I hope those days are coming back.

Starting point is 02:02:11 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. So last Friday, the 21st, the White House, apparently meeting, having a long discussion. What do we do? What do we do? Presented with options. I don't know what is options. were, but the option that he chose was to send in the 101st Airborne. First time the 101st has been
Starting point is 02:02:53 on the ground in Europe since World War II. They are now ready to go in case we, you know, want to go in. It was October 22nd. October 22nd, 1962, that the president was
Starting point is 02:03:14 again looking at Russia. and the threat of nukes. And he was presented with a list of options. What to do? He decided wisely between these five options. Do nothing. Soviet missiles aren't new. Use diplomacy to pressure the Soviet Union to remove the missiles.
Starting point is 02:03:39 Use a secret approach. Offer Castro of choice of either being with the Soviets or being invaded by Americans. Invasion, a full force invasion of Cuba to overthrow Castro. Use an airstrike, the U.S. Air Force, to attack all known missile sites. Or blockade. Now, blockade was an act of war. So he didn't blockade. He used to quarantine.
Starting point is 02:04:06 And for those few days in October, the world sat and watched. It was the Cuban missile scare, 35 days. Is anybody talking about the Ukrainian missile scare? We just blockaded. We just put our 101st right on the border of Ukraine so we could go in and help them. What is going to be the Russian response? The Glenn Back Program.
