The Glenn Beck Program - The White House Just Took Us One Step CLOSER to WWIII with Russia | Guest: Flash Shelton | 4/5/24

Episode Date: April 5, 2024

Biden’s Secretary of State Antony Blinken has promised that Ukraine will join NATO, despite that literally being one of the reasons Russia gave for going to war. Will this lead to World War III? As the world gets more chaotic, Glenn recommends turning to the biblical story of Caleb and Joshua, whose faith in God made them unafraid to enter a land full of giants. Glenn speaks with “Squatter Hunters” founder Flash Shelton, who has found a way to make squatters WANT to leave the homes they’ve invaded. California’s new $20 minimum wage law for fast-food restaurants is wrecking small towns. How long until it spreads to other states? Glenn and Stu review the real effects of Biden’s push for electric vehicles. Glenn reviews the latest episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," featuring a world-renowned economist who explains how everything we think we know about money is wrong. Learn more about your ad choices.

Every dog I have heard, you know, from the owners, not from the dogs. Every dog I've seen, try it, loves it. Even the pickiest eaters will eat their food with this. Roughgreens.com slash Beck, RUFFF Greens.com slash Beck. 833, Glenn 33. Do it. now. And welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're so glad that you've joined us. It is Friday. And the good news is, from the people who brought you Afghanistan comes World War III. What the heck are we doing? We'll explain. Well, I can't explain what we're doing, but we'll explain what happened yesterday here in a second. First, wouldn't it be great if there was just a switch

in the back of your head that they could flip every night and you'd instantly go to sleep. Oh, they're working on that switch. Believe me, don't take the switch. I have a wife, and I'm pretty sure that she would flip that switch. Pretty much every time she got tired of listening, I would see, hey, honey, I'm a... So don't push for the switch. Here's the thing. You can do this without technology or pharmaceuticals.

You get a healthy night sleep by using relief factor sleep. Relief factor sleep is 100% drug-free. You'll get a good night sleep that you really need without feeling like you got hit by a truck the next morning. I know from experience it works. Tanya took some just last night. She was out. Unleashed the power of great sleep by calling 800 the number four.

Or she was pretending. One 800 the number four relief. One 800, the number four relief. Relief factor. dot com. She's just always falling asleep so quickly. It really relief factor does work. It does work.

She passes out the second I walk in the room every time. It's really working. All right, we have bigger things to talk about. Let's talk about World War III, shall we? Oh. Stu, tell me what you think of this. Cut one. Cut one.

It's a little slow. It's just, it is. I thought it would be a little more exciting. Yeah. You know, it's a little slow. Here it is. Okay. Ukraine will become a member of NATO.

Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership and to create a clear pathway for Ukraine moving forward. No. Oh. Okay. All righty then. That's great. Now, Stu, can you help me out? What was it that?

Russia said that the reason they were going to war was because of Ukraine potentially getting into NATO. Yeah. And so the one thing they didn't want us to do was to push for Ukraine to be in NATO. And so the goal of this big global conference in Europe yesterday was to put Ukraine in NATO. Okay. This sounds bad. Now look, Russia shouldn't be able to tell the rest of the world who gets in NATO and who doesn't.

Right. But in this moment, okay, in the current moment that we're in, potentially an answer somewhat like, you know, we're in the middle of a war right now. I don't know if anyone's noticed this. Perhaps we don't want to inflame tensions. We'll discuss this a little bit more. Of course, our policy is not changed, right? Something like that. We're not necessarily, because the policy is.

been they want Ukraine. And the president has not changed that policy. So, you know, Blinken can't come out and say that's not the policy anymore. But he could probably be a little bit more judicious with the way he talks about this in the middle of hundreds of thousands of people dying on a battle. Yeah. Okay. All right. Good. Good safety tip. Now, you're not the Secretary of State. I am not. I'm thinking I might be qualified for it after today, though. Like, I kind of thought I was way too much of an idiot to get that job, but that might be the main qualification. Yeah, I don't think you are. I don't think you are. Now, at the same table, at the same time, um, the president of France, Macron, has been saying lately, he's thinking about sending troops.

Now remember, another thing Russia has said is, you guys get involved, then you're involved. And I target you as well. So macron. Now, help me out because we may have slipped through another wormhole. No. Okay? In the universe that I went to sleep in last night, France were wusses. France never, I mean, they were not exactly, they were lovers, they weren't fighters. And they were the joke in the universe I came from that, like, France, you know, will,

will surrender to your suitcase. So, not a carry on. It's got to have to be a full checkable bag. Well, not necessarily. No. Not necessarily. You may be from a different universe than I am. Okay.

Okay. Have we slipped through a wormhole? How is it that France, of all places, is beating their chest going, you know what? We got a military and we're going to use it. When did that happen? Why are we listening to France? Why? Why? Okay, so Macron also said that he knows for sure Russia's going to target the Paris Olympics.

They're going to do it. They're going to do it. Okay, so that's good. Now, this has not been a problem at all for oil prices. I mean, yes, it went up to $90 a barrel. But that probably has something to do with, Iran getting ready to attack Israel and full-fledged war breaking out in the Middle East, which would drive the price of oil through the roof. Could anybody say $200 a barrel? By the way, America, the economy is built for $100 to $110 a barrel. It doesn't survive long, the economy, anything over that. That's what we've already priced in.

If you remember 2008, it was the sustained, what was it, Stu, $130, $130 or $40 a barrel? That seems high from my memory. I think it was a little lower than that. A little lower than that. With inflation, it would certainly be at least that high. Right. So, $110 in those days. It's like, you know, $190, $200, $3,000, whatever it was today.

So it was a sustained over $1,000. And I had been warning about it. You can't with everything is so delicate right now. You cannot handle that it will break the back of the economy. Well, it did. And we had the 2008. We're talking now possibly $200 a barrel. $200 a barrel.

And what is our government doing? They're saying they're not going to fill the strategic oil reserve because it's now too expensive. I don't know. I say we bite the bullet. We don't seem to have a problem sending billions of dollars overseas for, I don't know. France needs animal crackers. Let's get them. Let's get the animal crackers to France. Quick. They need $10 billion for animal crackers. We seem to find the money to do whatever we want. Why can't we find the money to fill the strategic oil reserve from the people who brought you Afghanistan comes an empty strategic oil reserve.

Who would have seen it coming? And of course, no weapons because we gave them all to other countries. Yeah, yeah. So you have that going on as well. Oh, and by the way, because of corruption and everything else in our government, all of our F-35s, only 25% of them are mission capable. But don't worry, it was just the most expensive airplane ever built. So it's more like an F9 or an F8?

Yeah. That's what we have left. Yeah. If the F8s didn't work. So also we have Antony Blinking yesterday. I love Anthony. I love the fact that his name is not Anthony. No, it's Antony.

Antony. Hey, everybody, it's me, Anthony. I'm aware to tell you, you know what, Israel is becoming indistinguishable from a mass. You know what I'm saying? because they're doing too many Bada bings and Bada booms. And they got to stop the Bada booms. I might support him if he sounded like that. I might be okay with it.

I would at least enjoy this trip to World War III. Sure. You know what I mean? It's a much more fun version. So we got a little World War III. You know what I'm saying? Bada bing. Bada boom.

And when I say Bada boom, what I'm talking about is what happened in Washington, D.C. Boom. It's gone. Good thing. I wasn't there. I was at a strip club that night. I was the one that was held back, you know, in case of a catastrophic, you know, event. And it went bada boom, and she was going bada bing on stage, you know, what I'm saying. Okay, so yesterday, Anthony Blinken said those words, Israel is becoming indistinguishable.

from Hamas. Okay. All right. And Joe Biden, I mean, he laid it down on the terrorists. Okay. You know all those terrorists, the Houthis? And they are just, they're so, they're vicious, those Houthis. So the Houthi terrorists have been, you know, launching rockets at our ships, at the ships in China, everything else.

they've been attacking the ships and Joe Biden came out yesterday I mean with a strong he came out and he said I don't know who the terrorists and the holy terrorists decide that they won't launch any

more missiles I won't call them terrorists okay so I'll use a nicer descriptor word for the Houthis if they just stop bombing, I won't call them terrorists anymore. What's going on with his voice? Did he have several Red Bulls before this?

I mean, wait, wait, wait. So the Houthis are like, oh, well, America won't call us terrorists anymore. That would be the opposite that they want you to call them terrorists because it makes the Oothie sound scary. You really think, you know, I have really had, I've got a lot of sand in my ears because I grew up here in the desert. But I can't even say it. I have been so hurt by America calling us terrorists just for doing terrorists. activity. What?

They're not Harvard students. They don't have their feelings hurt by mean words. If I just stopped launching rockets at their ship. Oh my God.

We're doomed. That was our fault. These things are always our fault. If we would just improve our behavior, they'd stop shooting missiles at us. If we would just, if we would just, if we would just, if we would just stop being so mean to the Ghazans

they'd stop raping all the Israelis. Exactly right. It's always our fault. Exactly right. And you call them Gothans and they're not. They're Palestinian. Sorry, Palestinians. How do they deal with you people? If we would just stop calling them the wrong name, they would

stop all the murder. Yes. I guess that's what we're so. Every single time it's always our fault. It's our fault that because Hamas, the people that were elected by the Palestinians, came across the quote-unquote border and murdered and raped a bunch of people.

It's our fault that their citizens are not getting food and water now. That's because of us. It's not because of the 150 citizens or 150 countries across the world who supported Hamas. I want to, can I tell you something? I would love to be a fly in the wall at the national security committee and listen to them in the bunker in the bowels of the basement of the White House. As they're saying, Mr. President, things are getting a little crazy.

Well, let's just stop calling him terrorists. My gosh, President, Mr. President, that is genius. I think that is the greatest strategic move our military could ever. That is, you are a history maker. it could go as well as our withdrawal from Afghanistan. Well, to be fair about Afghanistan for just a second here, they did send in multiple officials with no evacuation plan and within hours after Kabul fell. So they decided to come up with a plan after the fall of Kabul,

which wasn't at all foreseeable in the days leading up to that. And hey, what are you going to do? Hey, are we still in Afghanistan? No. Bada bing! Bada boo! That would be a better press conference than the one that Blinkin was giving. Picture this. Burglar breaks into your home.

Thankfully, it's during the day. You and your family are gone, so nobody's going to get hurt. But he's still going to help himself to your stuff. But then all of a sudden, a voice rings out, you're on camera. The police are on their way right now. No, no, even better. It's Anthony Blinken. His voice comes out and says,

Hey, you're on camera. Normally I like that kind of stuff. But hey, this time the police are on their way right now. Criminal drops everything and runs. Sound too good to be true? Well, it's not if you have Simply Safe. Now, we can't promise that the guy can do the perfect, perfect impression of Anthony

blinking that I can do. But somebody will be saying, hey, get your hands off the stuff, you dirty, filthy rat.

Right, you dirty, filthy, 10 seconds station. Bada b'abing. Bada boom. Hey, you know, should we? What was the, remember we used to have the Governor Cuomo music? Do we still have that? Because that might be good for Anthony Blinking, you know? Hey, I'm just here at the negotiation table.

You know, you got yourself a nice little country there. It'd be a shame as something happened to it. You know what I'm saying? Vladimir. I think that's the kind of negotiation we like. Right. It's a curious approach. It would seem that the best path forward would be to eliminate the possibilities of World War III whenever possible.

And that does not seem to be the approach of the administration. No, it seems like a vote for Joe Biden is a vote. for World War III. Is that their new slogan? I missed them from... Did they unveil that? I'm thinking about, you know, making Biden 24 bumper stickers.

I like this. Vote for Biden is a vote for World War III. And it's, you know, what I like about it is, it's objective. If you want World War III, you can vote that way. We're not saying you can't vote for Biden. You just might want World War III, and then you can vote that way.

Is that misinformation? No, that's disinformation. That's malinformation. Mal information. That's malinformation. There's no evidence at all that they're looking and itching for World War. I will say it's not my favorite bumper sticker because it rules out the possibility of World War IV and World War 5 under his reign. And that's, of course, right around the corner probably as well. So World War III, World War III, World War I, coming soon to a Biden administration. Hey, you know what I'm saying. I'm over here making deals. Pressing the flesh kissing babies. You know, hey. You want to pay. You want to. Bia Nato.

What? Was there a lot of baby kissing and mob movies? Lots of baby kissing. You know, like kissing you baby, you know what I'm saying? Bada me. It's Friday.

Can you tell we don't care today? And I'm wearing it's a, it's Hawaiian shirt Friday too. Okay. I did notice you, but can we talk about your shirt for a second? Yeah. Because,

first of all, I don't think it's, it would qualify as a Hawaiian shirt at all. That's not what I would pay. I've never seen Weird Al wear something like that. And that's, I think, the standard bearer for Hawaiian shirts. You know what? And we'll make one with a palm tree on the back.

Okay, how's that? Well, you can do that, but that's not. Yeah, okay. So it has the skull and crossbones on it. Yes. And with a little crown, which is kind of the colonial logo for, you know, no king but God. And it says STF, which is stew. well I can't

anyway no what is it because there's an F FECTW it's six twisted freak yeah because I was wondering if there was a U after it it was sort of an STFU and then I was like

that's pretty dark when you're going pretty pretty aggressive there but no it's a happy Skullin cross phone for the sick twisted freaks which you've been calling the audience for years

and somehow have still been successful yeah it's weird it is weird yeah even even you know chat pots all around the world are like, I don't know. I don't know how he's successful. It doesn't make any...

So I'm just trying to do my part to help the world free itself from AI. Another reason why we're successful? Skolin crossbones, sick twisted freak Hawaiian shirts that don't really feel like you're in Hawaii? Yes. Yes, of course. Hey, it's the geniuses that brought you the escape from Afghanistan, now in T-shirts and shirts that kind of are Hawaiian, but not really. Rough Greens, some of the happiest memories you ever make in life are with your dog.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Friday. You know on Friday nights used to go into Blockbuster Glenn? And you go like, guys, the drama section.

Right. Romantic comedy. Yes. Yeah. The action section. Right. Right. Yeah. Then you get to the horror section. That's where I've been living all week. Really? The horror section.

Because I've been looking at lots of charts. Oh, boy. I like my charts. Yeah. And I've been slowly convincing myself over the past week that the media is going to be successful in convincing the American people, the economy is good. You know they're going to lay this on thick.

And we know what the reality is, but it's the media versus reality. And I'm getting more and more scared that the media is going to succeed in this effort and Joe Biden is going to win. So I'm terrifying myself all week long. Okay. So,

Let me just call you Shaffet. Okay. Shaffet. You know the meaning of the name, Shafit? I did. No? Not off the top of my head, no. How about Shammua?

That one sounds familiar. Shafit, Shammua. Egal. Palti. You recognize any of these names? They kind of sound familiar. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Do you want to reveal what they are? Ameel, Sethor. Nabi. Nabi. Yeah, Nabi. Uh-huh. ghoul? Goal.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay. You ever heard of any of those names? I mean, you kind of have, right? Right. You're like, there's a list of weird names. I've read that before.

Sure. And usually it's like, uh, begat is in between. Yeah. Right. Okay. So you know, those are probably Bible names. You have no idea. They don't remember what story they're from.

Don't know. No. Okay. So you remember when God delivered the Hebrew people from slavery in Egypt. Mm-hmm. And they were all. all crybabies. And the minute they hit, you know, the water, they're like, oh, I don't know, we should go back to Europe, go back to, not Europe, go back to Egypt, right? And they, you know,

it was supposed to be 11-day walk and it turned into 40 years because of what God, you know, because of the response that God had when 12 leaders, Shafit, people like you, okay, Moses picked 12. They went in. I don't think this is going to turn out well for me. It's not. It's really, okay? Moses says, you guys go into the promised land and see what it looks like.

What kind of people live? Does, doesn't it? Milk and honey, right? Yeah. See if there's any walls around the city. You know, basic stuff. Bring back some fruit of the promised land. So, and I'm not making this up.

It was grape season. And the grapes were so big. It took two men to carry a cluster of them, okay? really good land that God was given him. Look at the size of the grapes, right? But it wasn't just the grapes. Big grapes mean big people. And the people were living there, they were huge too.

So the spies came back and what did they say? Oh, we can't take that land. We can't do it. We can't do it. Yeah, it's flowing with milk and honey, like God said. But the city walls are gigantic. And the giants there make us look like grasshoppers. They really use grasshop.

They're giants. They're giants. We look like grasshoppers. Sure. Okay. So there were two other people that they were spies too and they were like, uh, no, we, you know, we got got on our side. We can do this. Okay. And then everybody started, oh, we wish we were back in Asia. We should go back to slavery, this Moses guy. They were totally without hope. Okay. So the two guys, they start saying, no, God's with us. This is great land. Don't, don't give up your hope now. That didn't work. And everybody tried to stone them to death. Okay. Okay. All right. Okay.

This is, again, I don't know what this has to do with my election analysis. Do you know who Caleb and Joshua are? I know several Caleb's and Joshua. Caleb and Joshua in this context. Have you ever heard of those names? I'm sure that means I'm just, it's something that's going to mean bad things for me. That's what I know. Let me break this down for you.

Sure. Please do. Let me break this down for you. In every journey. that seems insurmountable, there will always be voices like stew. What do you mean? Seems insurmountable. We have a decrepit man with Alzheimer's who's losing in every swing state. This isn't a, that's not the feel of the moment. Weren't you the one that your voice was clouded with fear and doubt? Yes. Yes. That's true. I am clouded with fear and doubt.

And you often forget the extraordinary power of our God. That's used to do. I don't forget that at all. You don't forget it all the time. I do not forget that. All the time. I do not. You were like the ten spies.

Oh, yes. You were. Despair. We might be a little too optimistic. Pass the challenges that there are big grapes waiting for you, you know? I didn't reference grapes at all. That's why names like stew and chef it. You know, their names overshadowed by their doubt.

Fated in the backdrop of history. Just gone. However, the two spies and others like them, who remain very humble. They have a radical different perspective. They knew the strength and the promise that lay with the faith in God. See, they looked beyond the giants, Stu. They saw potential. They saw hope.

They saw the fulfillment of promise underpinned by the unwavering belief in the power of God. Their names, unlike your name, it has endured through millennia. Not because they face lesser challenges, no, no, but because they chose to see those challenges differently. it was their unyielding belief in vision that led them to be remembered. In the face of challenges, we should be more like Joshua and Caleb and remember just don't be stew. Remember the voices of doubt, both external like stews and internal like stews will fade away. But the courage to believe in what seems impossible that echoes through eternity. So let your faith be stronger than fear.

And your vision, don't let that be guided by the obstacles in your path, but by instead the boundless power of your belief. Because in every challenge still, there lays an opportunity. For instance, my challenge today was, how can I make you look stupid and feel insignificant? And then your challenge. A very godly challenge, by the way. It is. It is.

It is. It is. You're in Bible country. We are in Bible. Well, well, anyway. So, and then your obstacle, your challenge that you presented gave me this opportunity. I suppose that's true. You didn't address any of my concerns at all.

I have faith. I have determination to overcome. So you're no longer worried about the election. It is not the voices that tell us that we're never going to make it that we'll be remembered. No. It'll be those who against all odds believe that we can. And I believe that we can. So you're not going to worry about the election.

No more fretting from Glenn Beck for the next six months. No, Stu. No? Just because you have faith in God doesn't mean that you don't have to go in and fight those giants. Which is what I was bringing up, by the way. No, you were bringing in fear. Well, I was bringing in fear. I will say you should be scared.

Fear and doubt. Fear and doubt. I will say I have both fear and doubt. Sarah, watch you on the record right now. That's what you heard, right? Fear and doubt. That's what America heard. I completely admit I was bringing up fear and doubt.

The whole point of my... Well, it has no place here, Stu. It does have a place here. We better be scared and we better freaking not be sure of ourselves. No, here's the thing. Here's the thing. We have to be sure that our God is bigger than Stu's fear. That's 100% true.

I'm not saying, I'm just saying like, when you're beginning to see the light. No, I'm not being. You're beginning to see the light. There's light that you're describing I've seen for a very long time. Let your faith be stronger than Stu's fear. I know it's not hard because anything with. do is very, very little and small and insignificant. That's what I hear.

That's what I've heard. Did all the ladies say? No, to be serious, I am with you. I am, they seem to like know something that we don't know. You know, they seem to this like they. You know, that's a great way to describe it. That's what it feels like. It does.

It's like, wait, you're doing what? Like how many polls have we seen in a row where they're like, hey, poll of seven swing states. Trump leads in all of them. And they're like, oh, that's no big deal. Don't worry. Yeah. Don't worry.

There's something else we're going to do. Hey, you dummy. Why don't you have an electric car yet? Oh, I don't have the money. Get over yourself. Like, their legitimate election messaging is get over yourself. Legitimate. And they're like, oh, we're going to win this.

No problem. Why do they think that? Yeah. Because they know something we don't know. Perhaps. Perhaps. Like, I'll give you this. In mid-2020, the economic index,

was minus 60. That's not good. Just in case you're, you might not be new, you may be new to some of these measures. Minus 60 is not good. You don't win elections at minus 60. Right, okay.

It's gone from minus 60 to minus 20. Now, minus 20, also not good. We are not at the position where people think, oh, this is a great economy. But it is moving significantly in the direction they wanted to go in.

And it goes, you look at previous elections, if you can get to about even, you can probably win. If you're below, if you're minus 10, minus 20, it's pretty hard. So I think like if the election was held right now today, I think Trump would win. However, we've got seven months before an election. And in that seven months, the media, the establishment, every single lever they have is going to be used to its full capacity to convince the American people that the economy is good.

And if they are successful in that venture, Joe Biden will win. That is a scare. That is fear and doubt. Yes, I agree. Let me say this sincerely, not about you. I was obviously joking. But let me say this sincerely. The voices of doubt both external and internal,

they fade away in history. But the courage to believe in what seems insurmountable echoes through eternity. Let your faith be stronger than your fear. Understand that that requires you to act in faith. Don't look at the obstacles in your way. Do you have faith in miracles? Do you have faith in God?

Have you gotten down on your knees and begged him for forgiveness of the sins of our country. Have you turned your face back to him? We win through our boundless belief that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is real, is alive, is engaged. Don't be the generation. Don't be the people who lose this country because we doubt. unwavering faith, determination to overcome.

That's what will be remembered and that's what will win. We must actively engage the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Beg for his blessings while doing the things that would bring those blessings on our heads. Turn back to God. They're arrogant. will be there undoing. See if that sounds familiar. You're out in the garage, you're cleaning, you're organizing,

and you don't want to be there in the first place. So any excuse to stop what you're doing is a welcome one. You're like, oh, a box of pictures.

I will tell you that the Bubba effect never felt better than it does when I share with you something that I'm going to share with you in the next few minutes. It's very satisfying. And the guy who's going to bring this to you, his first name is Flash. Okay? Flash, Shelton! Yeah, it's happening. I guess without the little theme song, it might have been a little better, but we're going to do that in 60 seconds.

Stand by. It is Friday. What would you give to be able to undo some of the mistakes of the past? We've all made them. We carry around the baggage from them. Unfortunately, we can't. We can't take them back. We can't ask for forgiveness, but we also can help try to make up for mistakes. We can try to help others make better decisions. And the Ministry of Preborn is doing that.

There are far-reaching consequences for the abortion industry in this country. And we have got to lead the way. And you don't do it by shouting at people. You do it by loving the moms. really caring about the baby, not just the numbers, not just the babies, all condemning the moms. This is what pre-born does. They've rescued over 280,000 babies through love, compassion, and free ultrasounds. Every day, they rescue about 200 more. They offer insistence to the mom for up to two years after the baby was born. Just the ultrasound, which is free and $28 from people like you and me pay for it, $140 could help rescue. you five babies. But any amount will help because they take care of the moms for two years after the baby is born and they introduce her to the baby the first day she walks in. Thanks to you,

will you help? Pound 250. Say the keyword baby, pound 250, keyword baby, or go to preborn.com slash beck. Preborn.com slash Beck, sponsored by Preborn. I love this story and I'm going to let him tell the story. Flash Shelton is with us now. He is the founder of squatter hunters. He's an anti-squatter activist leading the charge.

And Flash, welcome to the program. Thanks. Hey. Thanks for having me. Good morning. Is that really your first name, Flash? Your God-given name? That is. Yes, it's my name since I was a kid like everybody. Right. Right. But not everybody has the name. Flash. You had cool parents.

And not everybody has a name that you have to live up to. Right. Yes. And so you are. So tell me what happened in 2019 with your mom. Yeah, my father had passed away and we were, we had moved my mom out of the house. It was up in a remote like location up in northern California. And so the family decided we needed to sell the house, moved her in with me.

and we listed the house. And I get a, nothing was happening and I get a report that there was a break in and then someone had broken in the back door and that neighbors were seeing, you know, cars in the driveway and wondered if I rented the house. And I immediately called the sheriff.

I told them that, you know, the house is vacant that the back door was, you know, broken in. The deputy goes out there and says, um, And yeah, you know, it's the door is broken in, but you said it was vacant and there's a house full of furniture and there's nothing we can do.

It appears you have squatters and it's a civil matter. So, you know, blindsided just like everybody. And those words are devastating when you start looking into squatters and their rights and how you have no rights. And so I just decided to, you know, punch, you know, punch and kick the heavy bag for a bit. And then I went to work, just breaking down the laws and the rights and figured out that if they could take a house, I could take a house. And I had read that someone, you know, that many have fake leases. And I thought, you know, it's like a 10, 12 hour drive. So I, you know, so I thought, well, I can't go up there and not have a lease in hand.

just in case. So my mom wasn't in the, you know, she just mentally couldn't, wouldn't have been able to handle it. So I told her I was going up to do repairs on the house and but just wanted a lease since no one knew me, you know, really like up there. And I, you know, so she, we got a lease, notarized it just in case, went up there and I think I arrived in there like four in the morning and I just kind of parked down the street and watched and I slept probably a bit but around 8, 8.8.30 in the morning they pulled out of the driveway and I was prepared with a new lock cameras and alarm system and a lease and they left three cars about seven. I counted like five men and two women and so once they left I went immediately with

went in and my key worked, the back door was still broken in. And I secured the back door, put up cameras, and they arrived as I was putting up the last camera over the driveway. And, you know, and I just basically told them that, you know, they, that it was my house now and there was an alarm and cameras and, you know, that there would be evidence of break-in if they broke in on camera, I'd prosecute. And I told them that, you know, I have all the rights since I have possession. And it turned out one of them was a prison guard.

And so, you know, she knew that she didn't have a leg, you know, to stand on. So I basically told them that they had till the end of the day to get their stuff out of the house. And or, you know, or they would lose it. and I had already talked to neighbors, young guys, and set it up that I just said, hey, if like 5 p.m., there's no furniture on this driveway, and come over, you can have anything you want, just help me get it out of the house. And they were like, yeah, dude, yeah, that would be awesome. So I, yeah, so they complied. And I told them that I was, you know, I was videoing.

I had a YouTube channel. And I said, look, I'm going to, you know, you have a choice. I will expose you to the world or I will share the story and blur your faces and not share your name. That's your choice. So either your life is going to change big time because everyone's going to know all about you. And they chose to comply and get out and they were out. All the furniture was out before midnight and I think they took the last load at like 2 a.m. out of the driveway. So yeah, so that video is like 5.9 million views right now.

It's unbelievable. Now, you have gone kind of into business with this in a way, right? Yeah, so I, you know, the video popped up. I mean, I held on to it because of COVID because I, you know, right now I'm America's hero and I would have been America's villain if I kick people out during COVID. So I held on to the video. I posted it January 20th, 2003. March it went viral, March 10th. I was like news, you know, newsworthy. And then, yeah, and I people are asking me, like saying, hey, use your popularity to help people.

So I announced on Jesse Waters that I was going to be fighting for law change. And then I just figured, you know, not only to keep it in the media and keep it going and bring awareness to it, but I had all these people reaching out to me just asking for help. So I started helping and I was helping for free and I was, you know, and I was doing, I was just, it just consumed my life. So I decided to, you know, protect myself not only with a business, but, but also just being able to officially help more people. So I created Squatterhunters LLC, Squatterhunters.com.

And I'm basically, I've recruited now an army across the United States. United States of because there are, it's amazing how many people. And, and, you know, and I give priority to ex-police officers and even some active police officers, um, have gotten approval to be able to help me in their off hours. And, and it's amazing because, you know, that my biggest supporters are law enforcement because they wish they could do something. They wish, you know, they, they didn't sign up for the job to be, to have to, you know, walk away. And, you know, and let this happen. And, you know, and a lot of people blame law enforcement, but it's not them.

They're not the ones that made this law and basically handcuffed themselves. So when you guys go into a house now, you just, you make them uncomfortable. You out-squat them. Yes. Yes. If they want to be in there with us, then absolutely. it's going to be very uncomfortable. It'll be cameras up in every room, except for their bedroom and the bathroom, of course. But, you know, it'll be very uncomfortable, just, you know, in presence.

But, but, yeah, I mean, I'm pretty animated and, you know, and I'll just do whatever it takes to make them uncomfortable. So, like, what are those, what are those things? Well, I mean, it's like when you're, you know, when you're like, you know, sitting in the couch and, you know, in your underwear and you're, you know, pouring a box of cereal over you like your job of the hut, you know, it's pretty, you know, pretty intense. But, but, you know, it typically doesn't get to that because most people, you know, these people are, they're regular, well, besides being a narcissist and entitled, they're regular people. They, they're regular people. They, they. They don't want to, you know, they're banking on the fact that, you know, they deserve to be able to do this because the law allows and why not live rent free. But, you know, we have a job. We have, you know, we go to the store, we go, whatever. Until people are trying to get them out, they're not bunkered in. As long as they don't know, like, anything.

And that's where I'm most effective is when the squatter isn't expecting me, because, they're expecting that first interaction with a homeowner, and then that homeowner told by police that's a civil matter, and then they're expected to receive a three-day notice. Then they're expected to receive a 30-day notice, and then a 60-day notice. And they're expected to go through the civil process. So when all of a sudden they show up one day and I'm there with at least another guy or more, and they're locked out and I'm showing them a lease and I'm saying, look, I don't know who you are, but this is my house.

And, you know, and oh my gosh, it came furnished. And then when they call the police, yeah, and then when they call the police, they, you know, they can only tell them it's a civil matter. I mean, they're not prepared for that. So, you know, but I spend a lot of time and I tell people, look, you know, don't confront your intruder. You know, it's like, this is. property, don't risk your life. You know, I'm trained, you know, I'm, I'm certified in de-escalation. I'm

trained physically, mentally. And, you know, and my guys are all trained. So, you know, it's not something that a homeowner, not only can you not do it legally, as we've seen already. You know, now some videos have gone viral with homeowners being arrested for just changing the locks. So homeowners can't do this. So it's very important. You know, contact, you know, contact me at squatterhunters.com, you know, consultation at squatterhunters.com. You just send your description of everything. We set up a Zoom meeting and we break it down, simplify it. I give you advice. And if you need, you know, to hire my crew, then we'll come out and take care of business.

How do you get around the law that the, it is, it is, though, homeowner hiring you to do it? Well, it's, yeah, it's just kind of done a certain way. The homeowner can lease a property to me, and that's how it's done. Basically, they're leasing, they're leasing the property in me, and then I'm just gaining possession as the leaseholder. It flashed, it seems, it's interesting because you have, I think, a bunch of people who have a lot of power who, for whatever reason, like this system the way it's set up, that are going to try to get you on every little legal issue they can. They're going to try to ruin what you're doing, I think. I mean, are you worried about that at all? Will. And, you know, the way I figure it out is that,

you know, there have been, what, decades, 100 years this is going on and what, a million attorneys and they couldn't figure this out. So, you know, yeah, they'll try to outfox me, but, uh, I'll just come up with something new. I love you. I love you. Flash, thank you, man. I appreciate it. I love it.

Flash Shelton, it's squatterhunters.com. Squatterhunters.com. God bless you, Flash. One thing, if I can. One more thing. Yeah. The one way that everyone can help me because my influence is what gets most of these squatters out.

So just simply subscribing to my YouTube outside the box with Flash, that's the most. crucial thing because usually I can just show that I'm going to spread the word and I'm going to expose their faces and they won't be able to lease in the future.

All right, I've got to play a clip of the podcast that comes out tomorrow. It is incredible.

Richard Werner, he is one of the leading economists from around the world. I don't even know what I should play here. There's so much. Let's play Cut 17 if we have time. If your dollar goes down and they say, you know what, we'll give you a dollar 20 right now. You just bring your money in. You just show it and we'll give you a dollar 20 right now and we'll give you 50 cents later or 30 cents. Or you take this central bank digital currency and all good things are going to happen to you.

And, you know, you could even retire. You could, you'll have a, what do they call it, a, uh, what do they call it, uh, uh, minimum, basic minimum wage. Yes, yeah. People will take that. Yes, or universal basic income. Yes, that's what I guess. These are basic, exactly.

And I've said this actually since 2015-16, because suddenly all these billionaires came out and they said, oh, we need universal basic income. Yeah. Now, that's an old idea. It was actually first formulated in the 1920s, and it was considered sort of socialist, almost communist idea. Well, how come?

now all the billionaires are endorsing this. Well, because now we have the technology for what? Well, for central bank digital currencies. And when you introduce that, you need a carrot to get people to take the chip implant. You see? One of the central bankers in Europe

told me that he was shown the prototype. It was already ready in 2015, 2016. That's when I decided, okay, one has to now speak up more explicitly about this. But at the time, just like you mentioned, people just didn't know what I was talking about. It seemed very strange and not really likely to ever happen. But that fortunately changed with the COVID operation. And I think we mustn't forget that the central bankers are, they're not politicians. They don't have a thick skin.

They're very thin-skinned. So I started to give speeches and talked about this plan to introduce central bank digital currencies and we must oppose it. And I guess some other people too, but it must have been enough for them to say, okay, let's first do some other operation. Let's do the COVID operation, which has also been long in preparation because then we can push the digital ID. That's precondition for CBDCs. Then it's a better position to do it.

But I think it was a strategic mistake. Because so many people realize this control, and then there's suddenly, all the central banks were saying, oh, now cash is dangerous. There could be a virus on this. Right. Or some ridiculous story. Literally in March 2020, they immediately say, oh, and now we need to really push hard to have digital currency. That's what I love about. Bitcoin can be used for nefarious purposes.

Well, yeah, so can cash. You know, of course it can. Everything can be used for nefarious purposes. And if you think that you're controlling the digital currency, it's going to be an end to crime. You're out of your mind. Exactly. That's just an excuse. It's a very lousy excuse.

This guy will open your eyes to the world of banking, of the Fed, where money really comes from. And he is the leading voice against CBDCs. I think he should be on tour, quite honestly, all across America. He explains things so well that you're, it's like scales are falling off your eyes. You're like, oh my gosh, watch it. Richard Werner, my podcast comes out everywhere tomorrow, including YouTube. All right. Next time you're just standing somewhere in your home, I want you to do something.

Just look around. If I wanted to put this home on the market, what would I need to do? to get it ready. Okay, when you've calmed down from the panic attack after realizing, oh my gosh, so much. Now's the time to realize a simple fact. What you need is an expert. If you're thinking about selling your home, you need a real estate agent that you can trust because that agent is going to know the people he or she trust to do all of those things

and do them right the first time. I believe in this so much because I've seen the difference between what a mediocre agent can do and what an amazing one can do. The company I started Real Estate Agents I Trust only deals with the amazing ones. Whether you're planning to move or you just have some questions, check them out.

Sick twisted freaks. Magnitude 4.8 earthquake has just hit New York. It looks like it may have been centered in the Philly area. I just know a bunch of people that I know who live in Philly felt it. Yeah. So 4.8 is significant, especially for the East Coast. but don't worry wars, rumors of wars,

earthquakes, I don't know what they have in coming. Anyway, there's no packaging of that would warn anyone anything. Not a lot of people have heard about the little town of Leymour, California. But if you live there, it's probably one of the greatest places on earth.

Buildings are from the early 1900s. They decorate the street corners and residents gather around the town gazebo in the downtown area. And murals are painted on the side of the businesses that tell their history. Sounds like a place I'd love to live in, except it's in California.

But it's not the typical California town. It sits inland way away from the Pacific Ocean. And it's about directly in the middle of the state. Leymour is around 200 miles north of the glitz and glam of Los Angeles, 200 miles south of San Francisco, and about 200 miles south of Sacramento. So if you've ever driven the 400 or so miles along Highway 5 from L.A. to San Francisco, you might have an idea of the type of community, the people of Leymour live in.

City of Los Angeles just kind of fades away. The bright lights of Hollywood, the hopes and dreams of making it in show business, slowly gives way to more practical, hardworking lifestyle. And little by little, one by one, you pass farming communities and do. communities. At times you might think you're in rural Texas, hard work, the kind of hard work that is evidenced by the blisters on one's hands, the sweat on their brow, the dirt on their clothes. It breeds hard and determined people. You can find these people everywhere in the state, everywhere in the Union, really. They're the people in Abilene, Texas, or Preston, Idaho,

or Sheridan, Wyoming, Leymour, California. But these are also the people that all too often have to accept their fates as their fates are being decided by people in big cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Sacramento. California recently passed a statewide legislation mandates a $20 minimum wage for restaurants.

It went into effect on Monday. And on Monday, the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of, reality of big city politics landed in the small town of Leymour. When workers at the local Foster's Free showed up on Monday morning, they were told we're closing the doors for good. Why? The assistant manager said the owner blamed the state's new minimum wage increase. According to her, Foster's Freeze isn't the only business in Leymour where the

wage hike is affecting people. Quote, this is not the first business that's closing. There are already been a few local businesses for me that are closing. So I feel like this is just the beginning. How many businesses are going to be destroyed by big city policies, destroying the small towns all across America? Leymour has around 30,000 people. There are only 11,000 jobs. How many jobs are you?

will remain in a month. How many jobs in two months? What does that do to the town and the population? How many people that do have jobs will be able to afford the inevitable price increases? So far, restaurants like Chipotle, McDonald's, Jack in the Box, Starbucks, they've already announced that they have to raise prices. And the prices are already out of control.

Other restaurants like Pizza Hut have announced layoffs, 1,200 employees. This is the beginning. Who knows how bad this is going to get for your small town, which will empty your small towns, make your small towns that were just maybe beginning to thrive again back into ghost towns. If you live in places like Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Sacramento, you might be able to find another job or eat at a cheaper restaurant. But what about all of the people that live in towns like Leymour? What if you live in a small town outside of California?

Do you feel safe? You shouldn't. Because California is the proving ground for radical left-wing politics. And when I say proving ground, not that they work, just that they can get them past. It's like a giant crash test dummy for bad ideas. And our country is being destroyed because of it. The history tells a tragic story. Obamacare likely never would have gotten done without a radical California sociologist

who advised both Bill Clinton and Obama and a high-profile governor named Arnold Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger's insane climate agenda was all but copied by President Obama. Now under Biden, it's destroying all of the reliable energy at breakneck speed. I don't live in California for a reason, because there is no reason in California. We've all watched over the past few years how the left's radical criminal justice reform is incentivizing, incentivizing crime all over the country. Back in 2014, California passed Proposition 47. It reclassified multiple crimes from felonies to misdemeanors. rendering things like shoplifting, theft of property, forgery, drug possession, and others to mere slaps on the wrist.

It gave criminals early release from prisoners. We're seeing the ramifications on the streets everywhere. You know, at the base of the Statue of Liberty, there is a poem that was written just to raise the funds to erect the Statue of Liberty. In it, it says, give me your tired, your poor, your huddle. masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, the tempest tossed to me. We always read that in the wrong way.

We always read that as, oh, send me your homeless. No. Send me the people you have made homeless. Send me the people that you say cannot make it. Send me the people that you have broken through all of your policies and your rules. And your experts, send those people to me. Send them to Texas. And let us show you what those people can do.

But what a new meaning this has in this new progressive day and age for the tired, poor, homeless, and huddled masses yearning for freedom? They're now the American cities that are being left in the wake of California progress. Let me ask you a question. Are you living in life you want to live? Are you doing the things you wanted to? If not, is it because you're living with pain? For years, I was absolutely not living the life I wanted to live because I was dealing with serious pain all of the time.

In desperation and because my wife made me, I gave relief factor a try and thank God because it gave me my life back. I didn't think it would work. It's not a drug. It's a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation. It's 100% drug-free.

This is a new McDonald's franchise style type of thing. And they've got all sorts of different drinks and foods. And they just opened, I think, the second location in the country right down the road from us. So I'm going. I'm going to load up.

It's going to be Thanksgiving, basically. got to gain 10 to 12 pounds on like, you know, McDonald's food from outer space. This sounds like a McFlop. A McFlop? Why do you say that? I think the food looks good. They got these spicy queso sandwich,

like breakfast sandwich type of thing. That looks really good. You've got the make. They only serve really breakfast? I think it's more breakfast focused. They have McPops, though. Have you heard of these? McPops, they have a hazelnut one, like a Nutella type of situation.

You got a, like I think an apple cinnamon one. They have a lot of different drinks. The drinks are kind of the attraction, the main attraction. And I think it's one of these things, too, where you don't actually interact with human beings because the franchise is from outer space. Oh, yeah, okay, good. And we've been talking a lot about the minimum wage. And here's your future world.

But they, I think they like, break the food comes out on, like, conveyor belts and you order it a kiosk. I'm excited about it, as you can tell. Like, this is the main thing. Are there really no people or the people? No, there are people, I think, inside. I think that you can, if you need help with something, they'll come out and help you. But I think the whole, it's supposed to be sort of a space aged.

Oh, yeah, space age stuff is really. Yeah. It's not as futuristic when we, when we have, Elon Musk is throwing satellites up in the space every few seconds. But that's, I guess, Cosmic was a, I guess, a, a, like, a character of McKayette. He came down once in a while, and he stole McDonald's food to bring it back to McCombiclan. Like a space age to hamburger, basically. Cosmic land. Right.

And he was in a couple of commercials, I think, and then they were like, all right, this isn't working, and they just discontinued it. And then, like, you know, decades later, they're just launching him into his own franchise. Yeah, that's great. And they'll probably be going in an early working, and they'll probably blast him back in the case. That's why I'm going today at 1230 Central, 1.30 Eastern on YouTube.com slash Duda's America before they close it down. I want to get there and try everything before they close it down.

I think some of the stuff looks good. Some of it does look good, but there's a lot of it that it just looks like a rehash of McDonald's. You know what I mean? You're evil. You're just a bad person. Why not just go to McDonald's? Well, because they don't have these things at McDonald's. Now, they do have some things that you can find at McDonald's at Cosmix.

They have a lot of drinks, but then they just seem to have, they don't really have, they have one burger. if you don't like the spicy caseo sandwich you're out they also have the creamy avocado tomato tomato tammatio sandwich which I don't know what that is I don't know what that is and I don't trust the McDonald's people to make it. You're just a bad person

that's what you are. You're ruining my fun you're ruining America's fun I mean I'll watch and by the way I don't want to eat it. I don't know if anyone knows this but Glenn Beck has been to McDonald's a few times maybe look at me what do you enjoy that's what I'm saying no I like McDonald's

I do like McDonald's. I do. You eat it often. I'm beginning to wonder if it's only people like me that can afford to go to McDonald's now. Yes. I mean, it's great. Especially why, let me ask you something. Why is it that Gavin Newsom has raised the minimum wage for fast food restaurants only? Like his favorite restaurant, nope, $16 an hour. That's true. That's true. I would assume the French laundry is not having to do this. Right. Right. So why is it the ones where, business people and people who can afford a nice lunch, why is it that they, they're not getting the $20 minimum wage? It's only the ones where people are struggling. I mean, how many business meetings have you ever taken into McDonald's? Okay.

Me personally are thinking of the average person. You go there for a couple of reasons. One, you just have a craving for it. Two, and you're usually alone. Two. And you sit in despair in the parking lot and eat all food.

And you eat it and you realize this isn't going to go well. for me today. And then the second reason is you're in a hurry. But I think the most important reason is, especially now, is I can't afford anything else. So why are they the ones at the bottom of the ladder?

Why is Gavin Newsom targeting fast food restaurants and not sit down nice restaurants? I have an answer to that. I think his answer to that would be he knows better as to what these people should eat. That's what he would say essentially. It's not

unhealthy food. And these people are, you know, are going in there. So evil. And so you raise the price there. Well, it helps people because they won't eat unhealthy food, which I, you know, completely reject, obviously. McDonald's is very healthy in every way. But in addition to that, I think, like, there is a dependency here, right? You price people out of the market so that every McDonald's is built with conveyor belts and kiosks. And then they become dependent on you. And you advance your long-term goals. They are doing this over the country. I'd like to go back to my reason then.

Evil. It's just evil what these people are doing. They are making it impossible. Look at what's happening. I just told you about the small town in California. Our small towns are being raped and pillaged right now because of policies. Our small businesses. Who creates 80% of all jobs in recessions?

Small businesses. What are they doing? They're making it impossible for small businesses. Don't people see what the global elites are doing. They are pushing us back into this state-run kind of country like the Soviet Union, where they'll make all of the decisions for you. And you must do what the state says to do. do. And by the way, if they have CBDCs, they'll have complete control of your life. Complete control of your life.

God help us, because I think they're going to make CBCDCs. I think they're going to come out in the next couple of years. CBDCs, when they're introduced, they will be introduced at a time of crisis, and everybody will rush into them. And I'm telling you, don't do it. Don't do it. We have got to stand up against CBDCs because this is a real it is the end of freedom it is the Chinese state where they will have absolute control of everything you do because if you don't if they don't want you to travel you won't travel you're not an essential employee you won't buy gas the glenbeck program oh america it's uh the glenbeck program it's friday and And we've got a few stories that I just, I can't really make sense of,

but I just thought I'd give them as a signpost to where America is. We'll do that coming up in just a second. Sometimes the value of a product or a service relies heavily on the values of the company that is producing the product or service. And your mobile carrier is no exception to this rule. I'm tired of having to pay through the nose for phone service, knowing that some of my dollars go to, you know, Black Lives Matter or Planned Parenthood or any kind of leftist cause.

It's Patriotmobile.com slash Beck or 972 Patriot. So here's some good news. You know, the country has, you know, been told that we're going to get off of, off of, you know, gasoline cars. We're going to be driving EVs in the future, the very near future. In fact, California and I believe eight other states have now joined with California to say, no more gasoline cars by 2035. We're going to be all EVs.

Well, that's going to be fun to watch and see how that works out for a minute. Ford has delayed production of their new electric vehicles by years now because EVs are not selling. And so Ford's like, I don't know. I mean, I think maybe we should slow down on this. The splits on their business are incredible. Do you have those in front of you, my chance? The splits on their business? The splits between EVs and gas-powered vehicles.

I'm going to miss these probably by a few hundred million dollars or so. But my remembering of this is something like they've lost $3.5 billion on their electric vehicle business and gained $7 billion profit in their combustion engine business. So, like, they are actually a really healthy company if they didn't listen to the government. everything like What a surprise Say that again I can't believe that's true If they didn't follow the edicts

Of the government They would be massively successful right now And I think a lot of people look at Ford They're like oh they've had their problems Like and they have Over the years obviously You know go back to 2008 and such I look at Ford and think

That's the this is the end of The American car I honestly do It does feel like And it's actually they're doing pretty well You know If it wasn't for the EVs.

Yeah. So here's the actual spread. Ford's electric vehicle business lost, what'd you say three? I mean, that's me remembering it. 4.7. Okay. I missed by $1.2 billion. That's before interest in taxes.

The division that makes gasoline and hybrid made $7.5 billion in profit. In profit. So again, that they're overall profitable solely. because of their gas powered side. Yes. Yes. And they would have a much larger profit, if not for the EVs. And the hybrids is an interesting thing where I think a lot of these companies are going to wind up landing. Because, you know, hybrids aren't bad.

No, I don't love them. I don't love them either. I don't want one. But I don't want one. But what I will say is it does solve the real negatives of the EVs in that you can just put gas in it if you want. So you can, you don't have to worry about the charging craziness and all that other stuff. The plug-in hybrid is something. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

mean about the charging craziness? Joe Biden promised that he was going to build a charging stations all across the country. And they've put in seven. They have put in seven. So far that has not really helped other than seven people, the situation all that much. Seven. I was talking to somebody who works here who owns a Tesla recently. And she's like, you know, I thought it was cool and it was great. And now I've had it for a few years. And you know, I can't wait to get rid of it. was basically the way she summarized. Why? It's a nice car.

The Tesla's are nice cars. They're very, very fast, especially if you get some of the higher-end ones. But just the charging of it, I mean, she went through the entire situation of like the agony of getting this thing charged every day because, you know, she doesn't work in a, she doesn't have the upgraded, she's renting a house so she can't upgrade the electricity. So she can't charge it at home.

So she has to stop coming into work every other day and park for 45 minutes. does the her whole life I mean honestly it seemed like her whole life was based around how to charge this car she plans

45 minute parts of her day where she works in her car so she can get the thing charged to get her through the next couple of days and it gets too hot but there's seven charging stations

that she could go to no seven and like there are a lot of charging stations sure the Tesla put in the Tesla put in right I don't know why the government needs to be involved in this of course

Well, no, they're going to build them all across the country. He promised he was going to build them all across the country. And he's completed seven of them in three years. Yeah. In three years. And that's great. And that's, I don't want to, I shouldn't downplay that. I keep wanting to downplay this.

Yes, but don't. But she's saying that like she has run out, gone to zero on the battery multiple times and had had the car towed because it just was impossible to time. Also, you come in in Texas, you park your car outside, you work inside for several hours. You come back out. The battery's lower than when you. came back in. So you have to factor that into your calculation every day. What is the percentage going to be when I come back out of my workplace? Why? Well, I mean, the car does some stuff while you're inside, like it cool. And some of that's great. Like, I was actually looking at an

electric car when I couldn't get my car delivered for 14 months after I ordered it. And there's one electric car that I thought was really cool and I was looking into it. And one of the things I liked about it was in Texas, you know, having a car that can keep your, the interior temperature at like a cool 97 or something would be fantastic. Right. Because, you know, the whole thing where you're like, oh, I can start it up and let it run for a minute. Yeah, that doesn't really work. Like, it's, it's, in Texas, you're just going to fry when you're into your car basically in every situation. No, you didn't, seriously, you make very good pot roast on the dash of your car. Yes, you absolutely can. It's great. So with an electric car, like some of them have,

the feature where you can turn it, you can basically set your temperature in advance and it cools with electricity and don't have to worry about it. So there are some good features to it. There's, there are reasons why electric cars are cool and can be great. However, like the hybrid sort of solves it. If you really care about that stuff, you can get both. And that's why I think a lot of these car companies now are saying, well, if we go to hybrid situation, we can appease the government officials and like people who drive 10 miles to work can use electricity every day, probably plug it in and get that much mileage in. It's not a big deal. But when they want to go on a long trip, they can just use gas. And you know, you're not going to get necessarily the sexiest car

out of that situation in most circumstances. So I will tell you that when I was in St. George, I don't know if you were there. No, you didn't show. What a surprise. Wait, I was, I went to your state show, your art show? I was there. That wasn't the art show. It was a museum. Oh, I went to the art show in St. George. How many times do I have to. I haven't done an art show. Where did you? No, it was another place in Utah. you. Good for you.

What was it? Park City. Park City. Very different than St. George. But anyway. All I know is I showed up once to make fun of your art. You should have come. You should have come when we did the museum because I know a guy there who is the, I think he's the national, he's the national PR guy for McLaren.

Oh. And I've never driven a McLaren. I would like to drive at McLaren. Yeah. And so he said, hey, would you, would you be willing to get? my daughter's class a tour of the museum. And I said, sure. And he said, oh. And I said, what do mean? Oh. And he's like, well, I was going to offer, you know, in exchange that, you know, you could drive a McLaren for a day. And I'm like, I'm not your daughter. No, I don't do those unless I.

Unless I'm compensated properly. Right. So he let me borrow it for a day. Oh, my God. It is all, it's all electric. I hate you in your life. I know. Too, too many good things. things happen to you. I know it's great, isn't it? No. Because they don't happen to you. I like those things more because they don't happen for you. You don't even care about half the stuff you do. I don't. But anyway, so this McLaren, it runs all on electricity until it's like over 30 or 40 miles an hour. So if you're just driving around town, it's all, It's all... Yeah.

So it's all around town, it stays in electric. But once you punch it, it's crazy. It is the coolest thing ever. Because you feel like you're kind of in, I don't know. You remember when they used to turn the power packs on in Ghostbusters? Yeah, yeah. Remember it was like, yeah. So once you hit a certain, maybe it's 40 miles, I can't remember,

but you hit a certain amount and the engine warms up. And so the engine automatically starts and you hear it just go, oh my gosh. And then it just is a rocket ship. All I have to do is come up with a stupid museum and I'll get perks like this. That's all you have to do. Oh, I'll put whatever they want on display. I don't care.

I'll make a fake documents from George Washington all day long. It's a fun car. It's a fun car. And I don't have a problem with, you know, like hybrids or whatever. And if you want to have an electric car, have an electric car, don't wreck my life. Right. And that's the problem, right? You know, like the Tesla Roadster, they're talking about, I mean, he's been teasing this for years and years and years, Elon.

But like, it looks awesome and it is incredible. Like, he's putting, he's merging it with space X technology. Like, they're going to put, like, rocket boosters on this thing. They think they can get the zero to 60 time, like, near one second. That's crazy. Which is insane. I think it would hurt. I think you'd physically be injured by that.

Have you been launched in a Tesla? Yeah. It does. You feel your organs go, ow. Yeah. It is actually jarring. I think I bruised my stomach there. It's that fast.

It's that fast. So there's no reason why, look, technological advancements, we're all in favor of those. But what they're doing to make this happen, these things are not winning in the marketplace. I got to tell you. I got to tell you. You know, we have these. Have you ever been into the coffee and car show things that they do around here? I haven't know.

So they have this thing where it's just coffee and car on Saturday mornings. And you bring your car down and everybody just gets together and you're just with a bunch of car people and you're just talking and having a good time. I love it. Go all the time. Everybody who is into a car that I know of, everybody that's into a car, they are not into the electric anything. No. Because it's not, it's just not the same. It doesn't sound the same.

It doesn't feel the same. It doesn't feel the same. These engines are, when they're done right, it is a piece of art. It is really just an amazing thing. And when you step on the gas and it sounds like it, when your wife, my wife said this to me, my wife, I got a car and, you know, it has a growl to it. And when you step on it, you know, it just takes off. And then when you let your foot off the gas, it has to burn off all of the extra fuel that's in there.

So it gives it that, you know, that's the greatest sound of all time. Awesome, American engine sound. And my wife got into it, she's like, what the hell's wrong with this car? And I'm like, what are you talking about? Listen, what is wrong with the car? And I'm like, honey, I believe we might have paid extra for that sound. But there's just something to it. and especially American cars.

They're just so great. Stop wrecking it. You know, it's almost like they're attacking our institutions and culture. I mean, I don't want to say that because there's not a lot of evidence of it. You know, it's like, you know, it's almost like Barack knew

that we would have to change our culture, our history. And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices. We're going to have to change our conversation. Uh-huh. We're going to have to change our tradition. our history, we're going to have to move into a different place. My gosh, listen to that.

It's like I heard that for the first time again just now. Listen, there was like, when we first found this and played this, we were like, look, this is what they're going to do. This is what they're doing. Listen to it. We'll play it one more time. Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices. We're going to have to make sacrifices.

Is that not what we're doing right now? everything that is happening to us, you're having to make a sacrifice. Pay a little more here. You know, you're sure your gas is more expensive. Sure, you might not want an electric car, but you have to have one for the environment. Give up what you actually believe because it's not what society is preaching. Sure, yeah. You have to go along with that person who says they're a girl.

Just go along with it. So, sacrifice. Sacrifice. Okay. Next one. We are going to have to change our conversation. Stop. Change our.

conversations. Have we not changed our... We don't have them anymore. We don't have them. You're not allowed to have them. When you have a conversation, you get canceled. That's like the preview of cancel culture, that one little sentence. That one sentence. Next. We're going to have to change our traditions. Our traditions. Our traditions. Easter is Transvisibility Day. Next. History, we're going to have to move. Stop. We're going to. We're going to have to move. Stop. We're going to have to change our history. You can't change your history.

That is physically impossible. 1619 project. But they tried. They're still doing it. Stu, they're changing our history right now. If you don't have paper copies of our history, you will not be able to teach history. You won't be able to teach us.

Not real history. Not real history. And then she says, It's a different place. We have to move into a different place. to provide the kind of future that we all want. This is not the future we all want. This is the future that they wanted.

You don't want to have a choice. Look at, they're moving us now, world economic form and everything else. They're moving us into a new place, a future that they all want. You're not even included. You're being told to sacrifice, to change your traditions,

to change the way you eat, the way you think, the way you talk to, each other. You know, one thing we can't say is that we were not warned. As always, as always, they tell you exactly what they're going to do. History will look back on us, just like they look back on the Germans and say, what the hell is around with them? You read the stuff, they told you.

They told you. These people are telling us, too. They're telling us what they're going to do, and then they're doing it, and they're almost done. Look at what's happening with war right now. You don't know? You missed yesterday? I'll tell you about it in a second. First, Israel continues to fall out of favor with more and more in the world, including, sadly, more and more Americans on the left.

We have Antony Blinken yesterday saying that, you know, it's becoming, Israel is becoming as bad as Hamas. What? What? It is important that we stand by Israel. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is working to now provide bomb shelters. Can you believe we, each one of these shelters cost $15,000. They need 170 of them. that works out to $2.5 million.

Now, there's been a really generous donation by somebody in the audience that is giving a matching fund. So we're talking about raising $1 and a quarter million. We can do this. Every Thursday, they deliver a bomb shelter, a completed bomb shelter. You can even have your name put on the bomb shelter. You want to buy one, they're $15,000. You want to buy one yourself? They'll put your name on it.

You know, please, donation. Please help the people of Israel as they struggle through this and become more and more a pariah. Make your stand now. Declare who you are in these times. Sponsor one of these shelters. Sponsor just part of it. Even five bucks will help. Just go to support.ifcj.org.

Supportifcj.org. 10 seconds. Station ID. Hey, there's a. So this. Scottish First Minister, Humsah Yousaf, who, you know, if that doesn't sound like a homegrown name right there, Humsa Yousov elected the first minister in Scotland. That's how racist they are. I'll tell you that right now.

Anyway, he's a vocal proponent of the nation's new hate crime law. he's the one that, you know, really has put J.K. rolling in the crosshairs. And so they started to say, you know, if you want to report a possible hate crime, you let us know, you call us. And anybody who's stirring up hatred, you call us, they're going to be put on a list. And they'll have to go through some real problems. They'll answer to the law. I'll tell you that right now.

Well, on Monday, this new phone number was opened up. And boy, oh boy. Police have responded to a large number of complaints, mainly about Humsah Yousov, the first minister, saying that he has made all kinds of racist and anti-white comments. And so the Scottish police are looking into him. They said they can't enforce this retroactively on him. But if he does it again, boy, I'll tell you what. He's going to probably, you know, be left alone.

But they're serious about it. You know, if you're white or you're a Christian or you're Scottish, you got a real problem. You got a real problem. So look out, but it's all going to be fair and balanced as it always is. Coming up in just a second, you will learn more about what's going on with the banks than you ever have before.

Thanks. I wasn't welcoming you per se. You're paid to sit here. It's still nice to be welcomed. I'm sorry. But you don't. You didn't even join me in, in Hawaiian shirt day.

You keep saying Hawaiian shirt day. You're wearing a short sleeve shirt, by the way, from your fabulous collection, available at glenbeckmerch.com. Yes, fabulous. But why are you calling it a Hawaiian shirt? It's not a Hawaiian shirt. It's just a shirt.

I don't know why. I don't know why. That's what the merch people, they have a gun to my head. And they're just saying, please say it's about Hawaii. I think it's a message to Russia. You know, Russia just came out yesterday,

at least one of the main guys who's part of the strategic thinkers over there and said, you know, what's not in NATO? Hawaii, because that's in the Pacific. And this is the Northern Atlantic Treaty. And so we should target Hawaii. And that's, I think that's why the merch people are saying, you know, let's, let's, let's be positive about Hawaii.

I don't know why it's, but it is, it's like a Hawaiian style shirt, but it's got the, you know, no king but God skull and crossbones on it. And it's a sick, sick, twisted freak on it too. Don't you remember the sketch where the Nazis are talking to each other and they say,

hey, we've got skulls on our on our shirts and uniforms. Are we the baddies? Yeah. You know, in probably one of the most humiliating times

of me on television, and there's lots of them. Oh my gosh, there's such a great collection. So you've got some of YouTube compilations. Oh, yeah, yeah.

It's awesome. Was when I was wearing one, something, a hat or a sweater or something with the logo of the skull. of the skull and crossbones with a crown above it, okay? Which is somewhat of your own personal logo? Yeah, it's what I use is, you know, my letterhead and everything else, is that on it?

And it's an old colonial thing, meaning no king but God or no king but Christ. And so I had that on, I was wearing it, and I said, I mean, did the Nazis not, did no one ever go, hey, maybe we're on the wrong side, we're wearing clothes with, you know, skull and crossbones on it? And while I said that while I was wearing. With skull and grotto. Yeah. No, it was, my producer just said in my ear, check your left breast pocket.

And I looked down and I went, okay, well, maybe that's not the best. You know, I think your biggest strength is your self-awareness. Yes, I think so too. I think so. And my humility. My gosh, I am so humble. There are times that I think I should win awards for my humility.

You know what I mean? Because it just never ends. It is so, I mean, Mother Teresa, she has nothing in humility compared to me. I will agree it never ends. Okay. Listen, I want to talk to you a little bit about the podcast that we have that is coming out today, or sorry, tomorrow for everybody else. Today it's on Blaze TV. It's with Richard Werner.

This is a must listen to podcast. This is really good. He talks about where money comes from, how banks don't take deposits. I mean, it's really incredible. When he talks about banks, he says they're not loaning you money. They're buying an asset. And then you just pay them back. So, you know, what do they have to lose?

They're sitting there with an asset. You're paying for it. And if you stop paying, they get the whole thing. This is great for them. them. Um, universal income and chips. He is a guy who is explaining CBDCs. Now, this is a world renowned economist. This is a guy who, um, uh, came up with the, the term quantitative easing. But his quantitative easing is not what the Fed has turned it into. Um, and he talked, talks about how dangerous the Fed has become, how dangerous the big banks are, and how we all need

to be in local banks. Because the way he explains banks, it's really amazing when you understand where money comes from and how banks actually work. Banks, local banks, are actually taking people in and saying, okay, what do you want to make? What do you want to build? What? What what do you want to build and possibly become very successful and make a lot of people a lot of money and help our community? That's what a local bank is supposed to be doing. And they actually create money to do that. They don't borrow it from the Fed.

They digitize it. It's an amazing, amazing podcast that I honestly, in the first 15 minutes, my head was spinning because he he basically everything I thought about banks is wrong here he is let's play cut 17 please here he is on CBDCs dangers of CBDCs for a long time most Americans still don't really know what it is and I think and I think you do too it's going to come down the pike fast and it's going to come with a crisis and they're going to say look at all of the advantages. You got to get into this now.

And I think the vast majority of people will go right along with it. It's a terrifying end of freedom, end of free choice kind of stuff. Absolutely. And, you know, if you've ever read the book of Revelation, it is that system or could be used as that system. Indeed, indeed. It's, it is a totally technical. control tool of historically unprecedented proportions, giving so much power to the central

planners, a small number of central planners at the central banks, that is so unprecedented, even the famous dictators or infamous dictators of past days past, you know, could have only dreamt about this. They didn't have the technology. And as the central planners admit themselves, well, with the CBDC, we're not. We can then decide what you can buy where and when, and depending on who you are. We will have the technology and the power to enforce that. It is an incredible section on just the CBDCs.

He believes it is coming. This is he's dedicating now his life to speak out against the CBDCs because he says they're coming soon. Most people don't know what they are, what they are and what they will do. cut 16 listen to this he talks about how banks don't take deposits listen to this banks don't take deposits and banks don't lend money why at law there's no such thing as a deposit it's very clear an english law where modern banking was created with the bank of england and also that the law legal system came into into play at the same time to suit the system and it turns out that there's no such thing as a bank deposit at law, it's simply a loan that you're giving to the bank. Correct. So you're lending money to the bank. That's why if they default, that deposit doesn't come back to you. That's right. That's right. Exactly. Exactly. It's not protected.

If you put your money into a non-bank institution, a stock broker that doesn't have a banking license, then when they go under, it's troublesome, but your money will be safe. Ultimately, it may take time, you know, and go through the rigmarole. It's never encumbered because they never owned it. But when you lent your money, like to a bank, it's on their balance sheet, they own it. And it's gone. Of course, we have deposit insurance. Until that amount, it will be replaced by the government, by the insurance system.

But technically, you know... What about private banks that are fiduciaries? They can't. That's not their money, right? Well, that is a type of business that banks also do, the trust business, the fiduciary business. and technically that works a bit different but every bank that has a banking license while some may focus on the trust business

and do more of that where there is technically a different process and we don't get this money creation they also have the power to create money by giving a loan or by purchasing assets which is the same thing actually because let me just actually finish that explanation

when so banks don't take deposits because there's no sustaining it's a deposit at law but surely they lend money no they're in the business of purchasing securities such as government bonds but also you see if you take a loan a mortgage document the loan agreement that is a promissory note that you issue now at law the the paper money is also a promissory note of course And I mean it has particular features. I mean, I've got one here from that grand old institution, the Bank of England. And it says, I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of 50 pounds.

So that is at law a bill of exchange of a particular type called promissory note. And it's the particular subset called bearer promissory note. Because, you know, anyone who holds this can demand. the money. Obviously, if you go to the Bank of England, they'll just say, okay, fine, we'll just turn it into, you know, £2.20 in one 10-pound note. So they'll issue other promissory notes. But so, so banks are the business of purchasing securities and the loan contract is also a security. It's a promissory note. Not a bearer one. It's very clearly identified, you know, all the parties are named and so on, but at law it is a debt instrument.

And that's what banks do. And you say, okay, interesting detail, but as long as I get the money, you know, how does the bank give me the money? Well, the banker will say, you'll find it in your account with us if he's careful, he or she's careful. If they're a little bit less careful,

they might say, we'll transfer it to your account and that would be incorrect because no money is transferred. Why? Because actually what we call bank deposits is simply the bank's liability to us to the public. And all the deposits are created at one stage originally through some lending when they purchased a promissory note. And then they also had to record their debt. Because remember, it's what we call a deposit, it's our loan to the bank. and their record of what they owe us is what we call deposits.

So when the bank gives a loan, it purchases the loan contract, and then the accounts payable liability arising from the loan contract is recorded. And this is where banking is still technically slightly illegal, as I showed in one of my papers. How do banks create money out of nothing? There's another paper. Because they slightly incorrectly then present, this as another type of liability called customer deposit, but clearly no customer has deposited

it, you see? It's, he's fascinating. And he can tell you why we're in the trouble we're in, what the solution is. It's, thank God that it's the solution that we've told you about banks for a while now. But he explains it in such a way to where you understand. why the small bank is being taken on by the Fed. They are intentionally destroying the small banks and why we have to stand up for these small banks.

Saving those children is how we all go home. From Binge All Episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. Oh. Hey, it's me Anthony Blinky. We just marching toward war, eh?

I don't know if you heard what he said yesterday, but we're goose stepping our way into World War III. yesterday they came out and said some exciting things. Here he is on what they're working on now in Europe this week. Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership and to create a clear pathway for Ukraine moving forward. Vladimir, you hear what he's saying. Hey, we're going to make them part of the Ukraine, part of the NATO alliance, which will be fantastic. Now, they're in a war, okay?

They're in a war right now. If we make them a member of NATO while they're in a war, we're at war. Are you sure? I mean, there's no way. It is always something nice that we can make happen. You know what I mean? Hey, look, Vladimir, you got a nice little country here, but they'd be ashamed of something to have to do it, eh?

Maybe you want to back off. I just feel like you don't want to stir things up a little bit more. I mean, I think it's fair to be skeptical as to whether that's actually the only problem Vladimir Putin has with Ukraine. Yeah, I don't know that this would solve anything. Yeah, well, it's nice that we're marching off to war and hear those those footsteps, voot steps, marching off to war. It's wonderful.

Good news is, I don't think we're going to go to war this weekend. It's just crazy speculation, but we hope to see you Monday. The Glenn Beck Program.
