Coming up, the exclusive first interview with Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States, on his lawsuit on Hillary Clinton and just about everybody else.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Well, yesterday, the 45th President of the United States, President Trump, filed a lawsuit. And he is suing Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, DNC Services, Perkins Coy, Michael Sussman, Mark Elias, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Charles Halliday, Dolan, Jake Sullivan, John Podesta, Robert Mook, Philip Raines, Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson, Nellior, Bruce or, Orbis Business Intelligence, Michael Steele, Igor D'Chanko, all of it, James Comey, I mean, this goes on and on and on. And he's on for his first interview, exclusive with Donald Trump in 60 seconds. I can't wait to hear this.
Starting point is 00:03:13 All right, let me tell you about Relief Factor. Charles wrote in, he said after only a week of taking Relief Factor, my lower back pain is completely gone. Relief factor is truly a blessing to those who suffer from pain and I highly recommend it. Taking the quick start convinced me that it is possible to be free of nagging pain. Charles, thank you for finding out. It is possible and I'm glad that it worked out for you. It's worked for me and about 70% of the people who try Relief Factor. It's an all-natural drug. It takes four different ingredients and it attacks our inflammation. four different ways.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Try relief factor for yourself. They have a three-week quick start. If it's not working within three weeks, it's probably not going to work for you. But find out, 70% of the people who take it, go on to order more month after month. Call 1-800-the-number-four relief. 804 relief. Relief factor.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Feel the difference. Number 45 and probably number 47, President of the United States, Donald Trump. Hello, Mr. Trump. President Trump, how are you? Hello, Glenn. How are you? I'm good. Thank you for coming on and talking about this. You are, some of the claims in this suit, a RICO conspiracy, injurious falsehood,
Starting point is 00:04:36 conspiracy to commit, injurious falsehood, malicious prosecution, computer fraud and abuse act, theft of trade secrets, the list goes on and on and on. this is really not, is this about the 2016 election or is this really about what they did to you this whole time? Well, I think it's about everything. It covers a lot of territory. It was totally corrupt what they did. If this were done, and you know this perhaps better than anybody else in the universe, if this were done the opposite way, as you know, they spied on my campaign.
Starting point is 00:05:11 When I made that statement, everyone thought, oh, my God, what a horrible thing to say. I said Obama spied in my campaign and the Democrats and all hell broke loose, if you remember. In fact, I put it out and I'd never seen, I don't think I've ever seen a reaction, which usually means they're guilty. In other words, you know, normally if they didn't do it, it wouldn't have that kind of, but they spyed in my campaign. If this ever happened the opposite way, if I spied on Obama's campaign or in Hillary Clinton's campaign, it would have been treasoned. It would have been everything right up into the death penalty, and that may have been included too, but it would have been over. It would have been the biggest thing ever, but it didn't work that way. So we caught them, and we caught them cold, and we've been just building it up and building it up and watching.
Starting point is 00:06:02 And frankly, we wish Bill Barr had the courage to do it or do it also. But we've decided to do it. Bill Barr was so afraid of being impeached, he didn't want to do anything. He got at the end, I mean, he was petrified of being impeached, so he didn't want to do a damn thing. But, you know, how do you not get impeached? Let's not do anything. And all of a sudden, that talk started dying down. But we've been building this up for a long time.
Starting point is 00:06:29 The Durham report, you know, the early, hopefully it's just the early moments of the Durham report came out. And that added to it. And a lot of things are happening, a lot of things, but they all knew it. I mean, look, Obama knew about it, too. I mean, it wasn't just crooked Hillary. So we expect that names will be added to it as it goes alone, but this is very important. But can you imagine if it were the opposite way, and I spied on, let's say, Obama's campaign, and not only that, you know, much of the stuff when you think about it took place beyond the campaign.
Starting point is 00:07:05 It was when we're in the Oval Office. I know. They spied. While we were in the Oval Office. So it wasn't just campaign, which in itself is. really bad, but it took place when we were in the Oval office. So the problem here is nobody ever pays for anything. There are no consequences
Starting point is 00:07:24 anymore in government if you're on the right side. And people are sick to death of it. But this is going now to, I think his name is Donald Middlebrooks. And he was appointed by Bill Clinton. Which is a conflict of interest, in my opinion. It's right. We have a judge who is appointed by Bill Clinton, who knows Hillary Clinton very well, and we're suing Hillary Clinton and we're suing the Democrats, and we have a judge. This is the way it works for Republicans, you know? Right. And this is, this is this. So I think it's a total conflict of interest,
Starting point is 00:08:02 and that's unfortunate. Yeah, this is the guy who threw out the lawsuit filed against Hillary over her using private email accounts and servers while she served as Secretary of State. And nobody could believe that he threw that out. Right. Nobody could believe it. So what are the, what are the odds? What is the plan? How do you think you're going to, I can't believe I'm asking this question because justice
Starting point is 00:08:29 should be justice. But how are you going to maneuver around a judge like this? Well, I think, and I talked to the lawyers, they called up and they said, We have good news and bad news. Everyone thinks this case is incredible. And I don't think I've ever received more positive remarks. They're so tired of nobody doing anything. I know.
Starting point is 00:08:50 And we have them. And we've caught them. And then Barr didn't act because Barr was lazy and scared. And he was just, he was scared. Contempt. They were holding it, they wanted to hold them in contempt. You remember those days? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:05 He didn't want any part of contempt, which means going to jail. And he didn't want any part of him. impeachment. They were going to impeach him numerous times. So, and so he didn't do, he didn't do his job. But if, frankly, and it was, it's very sad that he didn't because this case is incredible. No, we have a judge who was appointed by the Clintons and who threw out stuff like, like it was, like it was waste paper. And, uh, it's very unfair. So, Mr. President, you have government officials like Or, Comey, McCabe. Right. Um,
Starting point is 00:09:39 seemingly actively engaging in this. We're waiting for the, the Durham report. But you have Bruce Orr funneling the steel dossier to the DOJ and the FBI. They knew that it was false. They need a harsher punishment than just a lawsuit. But do you have any confidence that the Justice Department now is anything other than a political organ? Well, it would be wonderful.
Starting point is 00:10:08 We'll have to see. And, you know, we had, this was accumulating for a long time. It's, you know, one of those things we're going to have to see. We're hitting them very hard. More and more information is coming out. Even since we filed it, all of a sudden people are calling. People are so happy that a case is finally being filed against these people where they, you know, the two lovers, they go out and then they sue the government because they haven't been treated well. And yet they were using servers and everything else.
Starting point is 00:10:37 The whole thing is crazy. So I said, I've got to do it. You know, I'd rather not have to do this. I'd rather have government handle it. This should be handled by government, but it can be handled by us very strongly. And this is a very strong case. People that read this case said, wow, this is a strong case. And this case will build.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Now, the problem we have, though, is if you have a judge, it's going to throw out the case, and you have to go through appeals. I think you have a great appeal section, but we'll see. But it's very. Fair. So we'll probably ask for a recusal. Maybe a change of venue, but not a change as much as a recusal. I think it is amazing. One of the defendants in the case is a former State Department official and spokesperson for Clinton, Philip Reins. And he said, he tweeted yesterday. I think this is hysterical. He looks forward to deposing President Trump. I don't see. I'm not too concerned.
Starting point is 00:11:33 They're laughing at this. And I have to tell you, just as a spectator here, you are probably the most investigated man on planet Earth. Yep. Every single intelligence agency, at least in five eyes, and I'll bet you it's all around the world. Every newspaper, every reporter, every journalist have dug through everything. and you're pretty clean. So what do they think they're going to get from you in a deposition? Yeah, beyond pretty clean.
Starting point is 00:12:10 I have a friend, a very successful guy, said, you're the cleanest man in history. I mean, how about this where Paul Weiss, a big law firm, that's a total Democrat Hillary Clinton firm, sends one of their partners, Robert Schumer heads it, or one of the big partners, Robert Schumer, that's Chuck Schumer's brother, sends one of their big partners into the Manhattan DA's office, take two of our people and three of our people,
Starting point is 00:12:35 you're smart young guys, and go into the Manhattan DA's office never happened before because they have hundreds of lawyers do a good job. They took their partner, top guy, an anti-Trump, a Trump hater, like you wouldn't believe. All of them made massive contributions, one of the biggest donors at firm to Hillary Clinton. put him in the DA's office to prosecute Trump.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Let's get Trump. Now we can get him. And Vance, Sy Vance, whose father sold the Panama Canal, as you know, for $1, in the worst, perhaps the single worst business transaction ever made by our country. And Cy Vance, instead of using one of his hundreds and hundreds of lawyers, of course, he used 20% of, I heard close to 20% of the DA's office, hundreds of lawyers, 20% was using. Instead of the murders, the drug dealers, the crime, the street crime in New York, which is at a record level, they were all focused on getting Trump. But how would you like it? And in all fairness, the new gentleman who came in, Alvin Bragg, who is a, you know, considered liberal, he looked at this thing. And, I mean, I'm reading the papers.
Starting point is 00:13:51 But what he said is such an honorable thing. He couldn't believe it. I heard he was very disturbed by the fact that they sent a team of Hillary Clinton Trump haters in to prosecute Trump from a firm that's 100%, you know, that's totally against. It's one of the main Democrat firms. I think the main Democrat firm, and I think they have tremendous legal liability. But he sent this sleeves bag in to get Trump. Think of this. They sent this guy in to get Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:14:23 So he acted as a prosecutor. He's never Trumper who contributed to him. So it continues, but Alvin Bragg saw that, and he also saw, by the way, the banks weren't hurt. Trump's statement is very powerful. I have a great statement. My statement is so strong. And all of the other things. And think of that, they sent a Trump hater into the, to act as the DA to bring down Donald Trump, and they still couldn't find anything.
Starting point is 00:14:53 I will I'll tell I got to live with this hey Glenn and I got to live this life I know a lot of fun I did a great job
Starting point is 00:15:01 as president right now you wouldn't be in Ukraine 100% Russia would not be there 100% I spoke to Putin about it I know that
Starting point is 00:15:11 Putin's attitude toward Ukraine better than anybody but his closest girlfriend okay I know his attitude that I know all about
Starting point is 00:15:19 him in Ukraine I said don't ever do it don't ever do it And I told him why, and I'm not going to tell you right now, but I'll tell you at the right time. But he would have never, ever made the move. So we have a rigged election, and because of a rigged election, we have potentially millions of people dying, because this could spiral into a nuclear war. I think it's the most dangerous time in the history of this world because of nuclear,
Starting point is 00:15:43 because we've never had power like this. And I think that right now we're, and we have a president that's grossly incompetent, that's being laughed at over there that has no relationship he just sits there everyone's talking screaming and you know the other leaders they're all at the top of their game
Starting point is 00:16:01 and he's just watching them talk the whole thing is horrible this should have never happened Ukraine should have never happened I find myself in the weirdest position at night praying hard for the health of this president because I think
Starting point is 00:16:16 Kamala Harris would be even worse than this president Yeah. When she laughed at the immigrants. Oh, my gosh. They called them immigration. It's immigration. And you see people coming in on stretches with their arms cut off with their face smashed and horrible, horrible.
Starting point is 00:16:33 And she's laughing about it. I said, that's just, it's not the right person. Kim Jong-un also tested a new ballistic missile. He's having fun. What are, are we looking at a split? world. They're now talking about, you know, the dollar going away and getting a new digital current. I mean, this is insanity. And I don't think people understand what this administration has done with these sanctions that will crush the dollar. I don't think people understand
Starting point is 00:17:10 how that's going to affect their lives. That's true. Well, I know sanctions better than anybody because they sanctioned the hell out of Iran and they were ready to make a deal until the election. We would have had a deal within one week after the election. They were ready to make a deal, and I had the sanctions. But people don't understand that when you do sanctions, it hurts us as much and sometimes more than it does the country you're sanctioning. And what it does is forces these big countries like Russia or others. And that doesn't mean you don't do them, but you have to be very careful
Starting point is 00:17:42 because it forces them to use other instruments, not the dollar. They go different ways. They sell their oil for gold. or they sell their own. And all of a sudden, you're saying, wow, half the world is now off the dollar. It used to be, you know, the currency, when I left, it was very powerful. As an example, we use very strong sanctions on Iran, the strongest ever used up until that point. But that deal would have been solved, and we would have been right back on the dollar,
Starting point is 00:18:09 and they would have been fine, and they would have been, everybody would have been happy. That was all set to happen. Do you think, I'm sorry. Do you think, Mr. President, that if this continues to spiral out of control with Joe Biden threatening China, which is just a joke, but do you think, I don't see anything standing in their way if we're busy over in Europe with this president of China just taking Taiwan? Well, except the only thing is that Putin's done very poorly, and she is looking at that. And he's saying, I bet Putin wish he didn't do that one. Because that one is not working out too well. Let's see what happens.
Starting point is 00:18:52 The problem is the danger is, does Putin say, all right, now we're going to escalate into the next level of military. And you know what that is. And if that happened, the world is a little. Well, he doesn't want to lose. I can tell you that. It'll be very interesting to see because he doesn't want to. Look, I knew him very well. This would have never happened.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Would have never happened. Now people say, what would you do now? And there are things you can do now, but we have. all the cards before he did it, all the cards. And I thought he was negotiating when he moved the troops. I didn't, you know, I really thought it was a great negotiating posture. He stood in troops and he wanted to get certain things. And they should have been able to do something, but he wouldn't have done it whether he got it or not. He would never have done it with me there. But he, ever. He's a guy that you cannot have him lose face. How do you give him a win here?
Starting point is 00:19:44 I mean, how would you solve this? If you had to walk in right now, he's not going to, he's not going to walk away a loser. How do you give him a win? How do you end this? Well, see, I don't think a win anymore is the NATO thing, you know, that they're not going to go into NATO,
Starting point is 00:20:02 because that's not, you could have had that before. They should have had that before. But it was never put, in all fairness, it was never put on the table. Right. You know, there was nobody saying, let's do this. And certainly it should have been, because I guess they didn't believe, you know, they didn't think he was really serious about doing it.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Very few people did. Maybe nobody except him did. And, you know, I think he made a tremendous mistake. And on a humanitarian basis, it's just as bad as anyone's ever seen. I mean, it'll take 100 years to rebuild that country. And they're knocking down buildings and things that are magnificent old. You know, we have in this country 200-year-old buildings that we think they're great. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:40 They have buildings that are thousands of years old. It's like they have things that are very old and very beautiful, and they're gone. They're wiped out. A lot of things are wiped out. A lot of, most importantly, the people, but artwork and so much is just that country is devastated. It's going to take 100 years to rebuild that country. Mr. President, thank you so much. Are you looking forward?
Starting point is 00:21:05 Do you see more things coming from the Durham report that will help your case? Well, I think so. I mean, it looks like he set a foundation. And if you look at what he's got, these are Hillary Clinton people, and he's got a very strong foundation. And you look at that. And now you look at the Times where they did. I thought that was another terrible, sir, really terrible. They knew all about Hunter Biden. They said they misread it. They knew all about Hunter Biden in criminality. It made a 17-point difference. But we won it anyway. We got 75 million votes. We got more votes than any sitting president has ever gotten. I was. sold if I got what I got the last. We got 12 million more votes. I was told if we got what we got the last time we went. So, you know, I think that a lot of things are going to be happening over the coming. You are very lucky to be doing what you're doing because your show is going to get very interesting. So is the world, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Unfortunately, yeah, because much of it is sadly, I have to say. Yes, yeah. Mr. President, thank you so much for talking to us. I really appreciate it. This is something that every American, I don't care who you voted for. or how you feel about any of the people that are involved here, every American should care what happened and the power that has been gathered by Hillary Clinton and the D&C
Starting point is 00:22:27 and how corrupt we have become. We won't have fair elections and won't have freedom until somebody pays a price for what has happened. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Appreciate it. Thank you, Glenn. We have a very corrupt meeting. Yeah, remember that.
Starting point is 00:22:42 I know. Yeah, next time you're on, I'll ask where the media is in the lawsuit. Thank you so much. God bless. The Glenn Back Program. American financing NMLS-182334. www. nmLS consumer access.org. Okay, I know your day is busy.

Get the Great Reset, the new book from Glenn Back.
Starting point is 00:24:18 It's available in bookstores everywhere and on Glenn's new book. com. Hello, America. If you happen to live in West Virginia, you care about ESG, I would love for you to call the governor
Starting point is 00:24:42 of West Virginia. West Virginia has passed S-262. The bill prohibits financial institutions from doing any business with the state of West Virginia if they are engaged
Starting point is 00:24:54 in boycotts of energy companies. This is huge. I don't know if you saw Larry Fink in this most arrogant letter to his shareholders and his people and really it's to the world
Starting point is 00:25:08 he released it yesterday he thinks he's the world leader nobody elected him but he is probably the most powerful man on the planet and he knows it yesterday he talked about how what we've done in Ukraine all of our companies it is
Starting point is 00:25:26 it's going to change the world and this is the future Listen to this. Quote, these actions taken by the private sector demonstrate the power of capital markets, how the markets can provide capital to those who constructively work within the system and how quickly those markets can deny it
Starting point is 00:25:47 to those who operate outside of it. If you don't think that this is the great reset and they're going to tell you exactly what to do, you are out of your mind. They're clearly telling you this. And it's not about Russia. It's about everything. And I have more on that coming up later.
Starting point is 00:26:12 But back to West Virginia. The Senate, the House, they have passed it. Now it is going for the governor's signature. He has said that he is going to sign it. He's the West Virginia governor, Jim Justice. and would you do me a favor and would you call Governor Jim Justice and thank him for doing the right thing for him and the people of West Virginia or for his state and the people of West Virginia? If you're in West Virginia, your governor needs to hear a big thank you for signing this bill as early as maybe today or over the weekend. He is expected to sign it before the deadline of March 30th, and it is critical in West Virginia that the governor hears, thank you for doing the right thing and signing this anti-ESG law.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Critical, West Virginia. Please make that call. As I said, you know, there's a statement, a letter that was written by one of the leaders of the Great Reset. And it is, it is truly terrifying. I will send it out, tweet it out, and post it at glenbeck.com. But it tells you exactly where the world is headed. And it is headed for the Great Reset. And if you think that this will not affect you, it will. Remember, the idea is we got to get everybody healthy.
Starting point is 00:27:48 We got to save the planet. We have to be social justice warriors. if you step out of line, let me give you this. If everybody's in it for health because we all owe health responsibilities to one another. And the way to do that is to just make your life miserable until you get healthy. Do you think your digitized, programmable, personal Fed coin, do you think it's going to allow people like me to buy ice cream? when I'm at the store, I might have a limit because it's programmable to me. And if they have all of my metadata, they know everything about me.
Starting point is 00:28:36 They know that I could lose a few LBs, Fatty. Do you really think that it is in the community's best interest that we eat like we eat? When I go in and buy things, you don't think that they're going to limit? of course they will. Of course they will. And this is all going to be done in the name of inflation. That's going to be the latest real trouble. And not just inflation.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Did you hear what President Biden said yesterday? I'm sure we have this. Yes, cut three. Listen to this from President Biden yesterday. With regard to food shortage, yes, we did. we talk about food shortages. And it's going to be real. The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia.
Starting point is 00:29:31 It's imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well. Did you hear that? Significant food shortages, not just on Ukraine or Russia, but on the rest of the world, including America. If I may, please, please, when you're at a store, buy two of anything you can buy two of. I'm not asking you to hoard.
Starting point is 00:30:04 That is going to become very unpopular. And I don't want you to panic. I just want you to go out. And if something is on sale or you're buying macaroni and cheese and you need one box, buy two. and every time you go shopping, buy two of whatever it is that you need. Instead of one, just start with that, buy two, and only use one. Forget about food shortages, which are coming. Inflation is going to be outrageous.
Starting point is 00:30:42 By this time next year, I have no idea. food shortages and inflation. I guarantee you just by not panicking, just by buying two every time you go shopping and only using one. By this time next year, you will have made more money in just what you're saving because you can dip into your food shortage. You will make more money just on that food that you have and the food that you are now, the money you're saving by. not buying that food at the high price, it will boggle your mind how much you're saving. You won't be able to make that much money on anything else that you could buy. It is something that you really, truly need to consider.
Starting point is 00:31:31 I want to give you something else. There is a good friend of mine who knows this kind of stuff. He wrote last night, let me see if I can find it here. He wrote a list of what everybody. should be looking into. Gosh, where is it? But he is talking about wheat, even water is going up, if you want to store water, but wheat, pasta, olive oil, I'll give you the full list later on in the program,
Starting point is 00:32:08 but that's important to do. And, of course, if you're going to, I mean, if you're going to buy a new car, I mean, Look at Stu. How long have you wait? How long is it? You just passed your seven month anniversary. Seven month anniversary of my new car order. Very exciting.
Starting point is 00:32:24 It's in that wonderful state of waiting to be plucked from the dealership. Which at some point, I think, would theoretically happen. But you don't even know what it's going to cost. So you may not even buy it because you don't even know what it's going to cost you. My understanding is the way the rules work among these dealership is the parent company gets to tell. them, they can't sell new cars for exorbitant prices. Oh, that would be gouging. Now, what the dealerships have discovered is, let's just say a new car comes in, one in high
Starting point is 00:32:58 demand. What they can do is sell it to a close friend or confidant. Wow. Who can then sell it back to them as a used car, which they can then charge a massive... Are they actually doing that? That's happening all over the country. Oh, that's so bad. Yeah. I mean, Some what you know, a car comes in. It costs, you know, I don't know, $50,000. You sell it. You sell it to the person for $50,000, MSRP.
Starting point is 00:33:25 They sell it back to you for a slight markup, let's say, $52,000. Then you put it on your, on your lot for $70,000 as a used car because no one can get cars. So they're massively in demand. Unbelievable. All these features can't come. Some of them are now the, they're starting to deliver some cars, but without the features. without the things that you order. All you have to do is put the chips in.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I mean, I know for, I think it's Ford is doing this with trucks that there are trucks that are loaded with all the features. They're missing the chips. So the truck runs just a lot of the stuff. Yeah. You don't have a wireless charger for your phone for example. And again, like, can you drive a car without a wireless charger?
Starting point is 00:34:06 Of course you can. Certainly. However, you buy a new car. You order it a certain way. You want it to come in that way. Yeah. And a lot of the reason why people upgrade their cars is not necessarily because the car.
Starting point is 00:34:15 has issues with it running better. They want to get the new technology. They want to make their lives a little bit easier. That's about to change everybody. Yeah, I know. It does. And we're at the best of this. Remember when everybody said,
Starting point is 00:34:31 Americans are just going to have to learn to do it less. They're going to have to, I guarantee you, a year from now, we're going to look back at this time of the COVID period and go, those are good times. Yeah. We will.
Starting point is 00:34:45 And I will say, the car that I ordered would actually put me into negative territory on my ESG score. They will actually think I'm running a power plant at my home. A coal power plant is running in my back. Wow.
Starting point is 00:34:59 So my ESG score is going to suck. Oh yeah. But I mean, did you see this story? This is from a couple of years ago. But the credit card that will not... Oh yeah. You buy a certain amount of things over the year
Starting point is 00:35:13 and you cross your carbon footprint limit shuts it off. It will not let you buy anything anymore. Oh, really? That's crazy. What? I know. That's a financial instrument that is cutting you off. What? That'll never happen. In theory with this card, they're like, oh, it's just for environmentalists who want it. Uh-huh. But guess what? The technology already exists.
Starting point is 00:35:33 It has existed for multiple years. By the way, yeast, flour, all-purpose flour, rice, beans, sugar, olive oil, pasta, oatmeal. Okay? Just a quick list of things you're really going to want to do. By the way, you can get them on Amazon right now and not be called a freak. A Faraday bag for your phone. Don't want your phone tracked? Put it in a Faraday bag. You can find them on Amazon. Now, if Stu's ESG footprint is going to be bad, I spent the day yesterday with a group of people that truly have the worst carbon footprint of anyone I know. I'll tell you about it coming up in just a minute.

So we were talking about the carbon footprint and Stu trying to get a car. I went yesterday to the Museum of the American GI. This is down in College Station, Texas. And it is remarkable. It's run by two guys, owned by two guys, and I can't say run. It is all of the people there that I met.
Starting point is 00:38:18 This is a passion project for them. I walked in to this warehouse where they have all of these tanks and everything from World War II. And they're all sitting in this warehouse. They all can be fired and they all work. And they're like in brand new condition because the guys who run it and all the people that work there are all freaks. They love this stuff and they want to restore it perfectly. So it's the tank from the first tank from Renault in 1917, the first tank we bought from the awful car company in France, Renault. It's a ridiculous tank.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Yesterday I drove a Sherman tank. They all work. And this weekend, they are having a deal for families where you can come out, you can fire them, you can climb inside of them. It's crazy. It is crazy. and it's like five bucks, I think, to get in. Don't quote me, but I think it's five or six bucks for adults. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:39:25 Oh, yeah. This is cheap fun, cheap fun. I guess so. Hang on just a second. It is at the museum of the American GI. You can find out more about it. Just go to AmericanGI Museum.org. I'm thinking about coming there.
Starting point is 00:39:41 I mean, I went yesterday because I have plans this weekend that I'm trying to get out of. because I want to go back. I mean, it is, it's so cool. It is so cool. And everybody there is like a World War II freak. So if you want to know anything, I met the world's expert on patent yesterday. Ask him any question.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Think of a hard patent question. Look something up that you think nobody knows. He knows it. It's crazy. Find out about it. It happens this weekend here in Texas. American g.i.museum.org. they was talk about the Second Amendment argument like, what are you going to do if you have a gun and then there's a tank rolling down?
Starting point is 00:40:24 What are you going to do with your private weapons? Well, we'll bring out our private tanks. There's a lot of them here in Texas. It's crazy. A lot of them. It's crazy. And these guys are, they're just so great. I could hang out with these guys forever.
Starting point is 00:40:37 I love people who are passionate about whatever it is they do. Yeah. You know? And these guys are so passionate about it. And it's all run on private. money. They just, they do it. And everybody volunteers their time and they just want to, they just want to preserve the history and pass it on. Your kids, your family will have a blast and you'll learn a ton this weekend. All right, it is the American American G.I. Museum.
Starting point is 00:41:09 American G.I.museum.org. Check it out this weekend. Really. go. I might see you there. All right. Bill O'Reilly is coming up next. Yeah, their carbon footprints do is massive starting those tanks up. So you may know that I'm a rancher. I raise cattle and I am so concerned about the community of ranchers because I don't know how they're going to stay in business and what that means for meat. Prices keep getting hitting all time highs for meat and seafood. Cooking and grilling at home used to be the way to save money, but with prices up nearly 20%, that's a thing of the past. If you're looking to save money without sacrificing quality, then you need to tech checkout good ranchers. They have delicious American meat, and they
Starting point is 00:42:17 deliver it to your door, because here's the thing. The amount of imported beef has gone up just like inflation.

Starting point is 00:43:40 this week because i don't know where i would begin bill o'reilly in 60 seconds All right, I want you to know that there are certain basic things that we think we know that we have no idea. For instance, they're talking about a new gas card, right? Government might send out gas cards to everybody because of the price of gas and inflation. Uh-huh. That's the worst idea if you know how inflation works. You don't just give out more money. That's what's caused the inflation.
Starting point is 00:44:16 but do you know about that? There are all these topics and so much more all covered in the individual books from the Tuttle Twins and they are, they break it down so, you know, you're six-year-old, you're 10-year-old, they have, you know, young adult books

That's all about the history of the Fed. Well, they've just made this into like a little, a kid's book, the creature from Jekyll Island.
Starting point is 00:44:53 This is just one of the books, but this is one that you should read.

Starting point is 00:45:40 What does that mean? And it means that the Russian complex thought it would go in in about 10 days and occupy most of Ukraine and that Zelensky would flee like the Afghan leaders did, and none of it's happened. And now, with the increased weaponry that NATO is sending into Ukraine, remember the whole western border of Ukraine is open. I just don't have anybody there, so they can get as much armaments and humanitarian aid in there as possible. So Putin now is embarrassed because every military expert in the world knows that his army is not performing well.
Starting point is 00:46:31 And instantly, the defense minister of Russia vanishes. Did you catch that back? Yes. Did you see that story? Yes. I wonder where he is. Probably looking out of a window and then wanting to see the sidewalk close up distance quickly. Or at the bottom of a lake.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Yeah. Okay, so that would be like our defense chief, you know, Blinken secretaries there, anybody like that, Lloyd Austin, just disappearing, just gone. Okay? So that is the signal. That right there, the defense minister of Russia has disappeared. Now, none of the Russian people know that, and probably the Army doesn't even know. know it because there's no flow of information inside Russia. He knocked down Facebook and
Starting point is 00:47:28 Instagram and it's hard to tweet there, except the Russian government can tweet worldwide because Twitter hasn't banned them. Trump is off, but the Russian government is okay. Yeah, Putin's fine. Donald Trump? Absolutely not. Hey, Jack Dorsey. Hello? Well, I mean, he's probably still busy. working on a reason to kick the Ayatollah off? I want everyone listening to us right now, all the tens of millions of Glenn Beck fans, to just step back and just think that a former president of the United States
Starting point is 00:48:08 is banned from Twitter, yet the Putin government is not. Now, that is about as stunning an indictment of any corporation I have ever seen. Would you not agree back? I would agree. I would agree. And it's not complicated.
Starting point is 00:48:31 No. Even the ladies on the view could understand it. You'd have to tell them slowly. You have to go over every word with them, but they could grasp it. Well, you had, I think it was YouTube, that removed the CPAC video, because the president mentioned that it was a crooked election. Yeah. Gone. And so... Gone. Okay. So as long as we all know what's happening inside our own country.
Starting point is 00:49:00 But let's get back to Putin. So there's little Vlad, five foot seven, okay? And you haven't seen him Topless lately because he's now serious Vlad. So he hasn't been Topless hunting tigers. He's clothed slaughtering Ukraine children. That's where Blad is. He's a real macho man. You know, the village people love him. So, anyway, he thought he'd roll in there and that the eastern part of Ukraine would be waving Russian flags
Starting point is 00:49:30 and thank you for liberating us, Vlad, you're the greatest guy. And then he would occupy the key cities in Ukraine and do what he wants in there and pose some guy like they did in Belarus and Georgia that was Vlad. That's what he thought. Now, there's no assurance that the Russian, that the Russian army will even defeat the Ukrainians. And it's been more than a month.
Starting point is 00:49:54 The news today is that the Ukrainians have pushed the Russians completely out of Kiev. So they have gained ground on the Russians. That's crazy. No, I know, I know, I know. You can't believe any reportage coming out of Ukraine because the Ukrainian government, obviously, is going to go, We're kicking serious, but, and the Russians are going to, I don't know, we are doing. But what is beyond any dispute is that we are into week five, and the Russians don't have any part of this theater secured.
Starting point is 00:50:33 So, Bill, let me ask you this. But, you know, when we showed the world how incompetent we were in Afghanistan, it changed every ally and enemies mind about us. What is this due for Russia? Because we were always told Russia was a very good military, and they had completely updated, and they're better than they've ever been. Really? Excellent question, Beck, and I'm going to give you a surprising answer. So you have to understand the Russian army are conscripts. They're drafted.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Right. They're not signing up like the American Army. Right. All right. So there's these guys out on the steps. They're 17, 18 years old. They're all of a sudden in a uniform. They don't want to be in a uniform.
Starting point is 00:51:23 They're not elite forces. And that's who's getting the bulk of the fighting in Ukraine. So this is like, I mean, I thought Afghanistan was this for them, but this is like Vietnam for us. And that's not against the American soldiers. But our forces in Vietnam were not incompetent. The communists never beat us one time. No, no, no, wait, wait, but there's a difference between incompetent.
Starting point is 00:51:48 I don't want to take down the Vietnam soldiers by any stretch of the imagination, but their heart wasn't in it. That's true. But not everybody. But the U.S. military performed very well under tremendously adverse circumstances in Vietnam. That's not the case in Ukraine. So these Ukrainian fighters are far more motivated than the Russian conscripts. But here's the most important thing of this embarrassment. military embarrassment for Putin. She is watching this. Yeah. Now, Putin cannot survive on this planet
Starting point is 00:52:21 without China. So now she is going, you know what, this might not be our best ally. If we throw in with him, we're going to get economic sanctions put on us. That's going to hurt China big time, because it's an export economy. They have to sell their stuff overseas. If nobody buys it, the Chinese don't eat. So now she goes, look at this. So I fully expect, because China is different from Russia. This is one man causing this thing in Ukraine. One man and one man only, Putin.
Starting point is 00:52:58 It's not the Duma. It's not the Russian people. It's him. China's different. So she, who is the virtual dictator there, but he's got to answer. He's got to answer. Putin doesn't have to answer. not now, but when the military turns on them, which I believe will happen.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Wow. That's going to be the end of Putin. All right. So let me ask you this, because that is a trapped rat. And even, you know, you corner a cat and they pounce. They will fight their way out. And he is a, he's a fighter. And we backed him into a corner.
Starting point is 00:53:35 I just had President Trump on about an hour ago and asked him this question. So does he find a way out or does he amp things up and actually consider things like chemical weapons? And Trump told me, I don't know. I can't predict him. I don't know now. Well, that's a fair answer from Trump. Oh, I think it is. How can anybody know how emotionally damaged Vlad Putin is? We know he's emotionally damaged because no rational human being would do what he did. So we know that.
Starting point is 00:54:10 But again, in order to carry out gas and nukes and all of this, the army has to do it. The commanders have to do it. And Putin is in a position now where his main guy, the defense minister, obviously, he wasn't performing. He's gone. The major commanders know that. The Russian commanders know it. that he's out. And are they going to, they're going to do that? I'm not sure. So I think, well, I mean, look at Project Valkyrie. I mean, it takes a lot for you to turn on a commander
Starting point is 00:54:50 in chief who just can kill you. It does, but when you're talking nukes and gas, you know, when you're talking that kind of stuff, then Russia, the people, the military is the only group in Russia that can neutralize Putin. So the people really, the people can rise up and they can cause trouble, but they can't get them. The military could. So Putin's not nearly as strong as he was seven weeks ago. So let me ask you this, and I'm not asking you for a prediction. I'm asking you for the most likely or most probable outcome here. Do you see this ending quickly? Do you see this dragging on? Do you see him getting more violent or a coup, an inside coup from the military. Well, I think that Putin has a few more weeks to do whatever he thinks he can do.
Starting point is 00:55:45 But the sanctions are really cutting into the supply chain. We have supply chain problems in America. Can you imagine the supply chain problems in Russia, Beck? Yeah. They can't get Big Macs. They can't have a Coke. They can't go on the Internet. Russia, and you know this, Russia is a very different. The big cities are very, very, you know, Americanized or, you know, Western. And once they run out of vodka, I mean, you know, hey. Yeah, I know. So what I'm trying to say is this.
Starting point is 00:56:16 I think he's got a window, Putin, of maybe two or three more weeks that he can, he's not going to be in a position of what they call it's a cliche, do or die. In that two or three week period, Zelensky has already signaled, look, we won't join NATO. So they probably give Putin a few eastern provinces in the country if he'd stop. They probably would do that.
Starting point is 00:56:44 So I think that the odds are that Putin will say, okay, I'm going to stop and declare victory. And I'm going to tell a Russian people on an announcement that the Russians are heroic and we freed all these people. You know, that's probably the best odds. But nobody can really. No. Nobody can really predict it, but here's something that people don't know either. The patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, 90% of Russians are Russian Orthodox. Key Real is his name.
Starting point is 00:57:19 He is supporting Putin. It's unbelievable that this guy who's like the Pope in Russia is supporting Putin. Because if he sees him. If he, he real, who is bound for him. Hell, hey, Patriarch, you really believe in heaven and hell? Guess where you're going, okay? If he would say, you know, I think enough's enough, Putin would have to stop.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Well, Putin is positioned himself because of Alexander Dugan as a defender of the faith. Yeah, he's got the cross on. Right. Even when he's topless, he wears a cross. I don't want to even think about that, Bill. All right. Back with more with Bill O'Reilly. There's a ton to talk about.
Starting point is 00:58:04 You can stay the full hour with me, Bill? Yeah, back, you know, I wouldn't do it for anybody else, but for you? I know. Come on, man. You're in Long Island. You're probably in your boxers and you've got a metal detector. You're out by the beach looking for coins or... Bill O'Reilly, more with him coming up just a second.
Starting point is 00:58:23 When you're living with aches and pains, especially if they're frequent or all the time, it is easy to let that define your life. Come on. We need you in the fight. everybody's got to be at their best. That's one of the reasons I'm trying to. No, I'm not trying. I'm going to lose all of this weight and get into shape.
Starting point is 00:58:42 Everybody has to be at their best to be able. Why is everybody laughing at me? Why are you looking at me? You saw that, huh? Yeah, I did. I wasn't, you weren't supposed to see that. Yeah, well, you were looking right at me and I was looking right at you. Well, no, I looked at Sarah.
Starting point is 00:58:56 We laughed together. I thought that was a separate laugh. All righty. Anyway, get out of pain. Try the quick start from Relief Factor.com. Try it for three weeks. If it's not working for you in three weeks, yes, you're out $20. But 70% of the people who try it, it works for. Let's cross our fingers that you are part of that 70%.

So yesterday, Bill, or this week, a lot of things have happened, especially with the financial systems of the world. China is cobbling together a new world order. Russia is part of that.
Starting point is 00:59:52 Looks like India may go that way. And maybe even Saudi Arabia. And the Russian foreign minister was talking about Brazil and Mexico, et cetera, et cetera, getting off of the dollar. And so that's their side. But here's what Joe Biden said also this week. You know, we are an inflection point, I believe, in the world economy, not just the world economy in the world. It occurs every three or four generations. And now is the time when things are shifting.
Starting point is 01:00:21 We're going to be a new world order out there. And we've got to lead it. We've got to unite the rest. So he is talking about basically Bretton Woods three. So if this ends, do we go back to the, the, the, order, the financial order of the dollar being the key, or is it already on a path where it's too late and it's going to, we're going to bifurcate here in the world? Well, those are a lot of big words bifurcate. Wow.
Starting point is 01:00:49 Yeah, I know. I don't know what it means. I think it has something to do with sexuality, but... Yeah, I'm not an economic expert, but this is how I see it, because I'm a simple man and I go from A to B to C. Street is not concerned with this. Wall Street is not concerned. with it. So if Wall Street believed that the U.S. dollar was not going to be the currency of the whole world, believe me, you would see a crash in the stock market and the bond market of the United States, and that has not happened. That's number one. Okay? So they don't believe it. Number two, when you look at the individual countries, the ruble is worth nothing. So that you, the Saudi Arabia can go, okay, we're going to sell oil and we're going to take rubles. They're not taking
Starting point is 01:01:35 rubles, okay? Because Rubles doesn't buy them the yacht. They're not talking about taking rubbles. They're talking about a new lawn backed up by commodities. Yeah, I called yen because I refuse to to legitimize
Starting point is 01:01:51 Mao Zetung. And you know, I'm still back in 1949. Good. But anyways, the Arabs are not going to take the Chinese money. And it's not going to take it. They don't like where it looks. They don't. They're not taking it. But all of this is to rattle Biden's chain and America's chain. That's what they want to do. They want to lessen
Starting point is 01:02:11 the power of the USA. And that's always been the case. You write about it in your book, The Great Reset. Okay? So all of this, to me, is not worrisome. I get mail, because we do Bill O'Reilly.com, and we have a mail segment. I go, oh, which should I pull all my mail, my money out of the bank, and bury it? And I said, no, do anything. Just let's ride this out. Now, Joe Biden doesn't know, you know, the new world order, Joe. I mean, come on. What's the new world order? What is that?
Starting point is 01:02:41 He doesn't know. He doesn't know. But he doesn't know what it is. Oh, I think he does. No. His economic advisors are all from Black Rock. They're all from Black Rock. And they're horrible.
Starting point is 01:02:54 The most important thing, and this is very important for your audience to understand, that the United States can do right now to build an economy, that dominates the world is to get our energy industry on track to make it easier to harvest fossil fuel that the world needs.
Starting point is 01:03:16 And that is the most important. Amen. You're exactly right. And that will not happen under this administration and with the Democrats in Congress because that goes against
Starting point is 01:03:33 the New World Order that Black Rock and this White House and everybody else is pushing. They are not going to open up anything. They're going to continue to penalize and starve from cash all oil producers and fossil fuel people. The Glenn Back Program. Back with more here in a second. I love Bill, but I will tell you, I disagree with him on what's coming financially. I think the world has been the people who know have been,
Starting point is 01:04:05 working on things, a new financial order for quite some time. That's why Russia and China and others have been buying gold. 200,000 tons of gold for China. It's remarkable what's happening. And that's because they believe the dollar is worthless and they're going to go back to a gold standard or a commodity standard that will be backed by something. please do this yourself. Please, gold or silver, find out if they are right for you. Build a hedge against insanity.
Starting point is 01:04:42 And I'm not talking about 10%. Just spread everything out because you're not sure what's going to stand and what isn't. Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Call gold line right now and find out of gold or silver is right for you and ask them about the new Ben Franklin's stand-in-love commemorative round. They are fantastic. Goldline 866 Goldliner, goldline.com. BlaseTV.com slash Glenn for the BlazeTV subscription. More with Bill O'Reilly coming up.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Bill, we've got about 10 minutes left. I want to talk to you about three things. Let's start with the Kataji Brown Jackson hearings. Okay. Give me a minute before you boot me off here. Yeah, yeah, I will. It's fairly important for your audience. Okay. All right. So Manchin just announced the Democratic Center from West Virginia. and he'll vote for Judge Brown Jackson.
Starting point is 01:05:50 So she's going to be confirmed. Three Republicans will vote for her. Murkowski in Alaska, Collins and Maine, and your pal. Mitt Romney. He's not my pal, believe me. Let me ask you. I thought you guys had a- No.
Starting point is 01:06:05 No. No. No. No. So let me ask you this. How can anyone, literally anyone, vote for her? Not based on politics, just based on the fact that she cannot define what a woman is. Well, that was her big gaffe, and I would not vote for her because I'm a fair guy.
Starting point is 01:06:29 I think you know that. You know me a long time, and I listen to her, and I don't believe her. I mean, she's trying to come across as this constitutionalist who's going to be objective in her rulings. That's what you tried to sell. and then I'm seeing somebody who's deeply involved with political correctness and woke culture. Yeah. They don't work. Is it now what you see?
Starting point is 01:06:52 Yes. Yes. And it won't work. That's what I see. Yes. So do I want one of the nine most powerful people in a country to be yet another woke monster? Let me ask you. Let me ask you about Clarence Thomas.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Have you heard? I mean, we should all be on our knees begging. for him to get well. He's still in the hospital. Yeah, I don't know anything about it. I can't comment on it, but obviously, if Biden has another pick, Biden's going to put in the most left-wing people, he can find. I know it's it. I will tell you this also with Katanji Brown Jackson. She is also somebody who is for packing the court. So she is, she's all for that.
Starting point is 01:07:43 She says she's not, but her record shows something a great deal different. And the same people who are saying that the Republicans are so mean, they are now mounting a campaign and bringing up what Ginny Thomas happened to say about, you know, the election in November of 2020. they're bringing that up and making... They're sliming them. Sliming while she's with her husband in the hospital. I know.
Starting point is 01:08:15 I mean, look, they don't. You know who they are. I mean, it's horrible. Look, the right-wing fanatics, the crazy right-wing people are bad, but they're not as bad as the crazy left-wing fanatics. I just want to make one more point on this. So this is why the mid-term elections,
Starting point is 01:08:37 in November are so vital because if the Republicans can take the Senate, then Biden can't get his left-wing people through. Okay? Yep. So, I mean, it's just so vital. Look, you may hate Trump and a lot of Americans do, Republicans hate him, but he put in traditional judges on the Supreme Court, which that is the only way to save the country. Yes, yes. Okay, let me switch to Disney.
Starting point is 01:09:10 The Disney protest. Disney is a company that has completely lost control of its company. Did you see the Eiger interview with John Stewart? No, no. This was unbelievable. So Bob Eiger is a former CEO of Disney. He's the guy that brought it woke. Yes.
Starting point is 01:09:28 Okay? And Disney's so bad that ABC Entertainment will not accept great scripts from white men. unbelievable. And they admit it. The woman said it. I get really excellent scripts all the time, but they're from white men and we're just not going to do business with them. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:09:48 What? Okay. So Disney now is, as you put it, the most extreme woke company on Earth. But they're really not. Because they charge so much money to go to the Disney theme parks that poor and working class families cannot go.
Starting point is 01:10:08 So black kids can't go to Disney World or Disneyland unless their parents make over $80,000 a year. Easy over $80,000. Oh, yeah. You're in debt. You go to Disney. You are in debt for a long time. So they can say whatever they want,
Starting point is 01:10:27 but can't you have like an advanced sale discount or maybe Tuesdays for the working class, something? Yeah. No. Okay. So Iger goes on with John Stewart. He's got a little podcast, I guess. And Stewart is real hopped up about the irresponsibility of the press, as he should be in every American should be. And that's my column this weekend on Bill O'Reilly.com. The American press has fallen apart. Okay. So Stewart goes, what's the matter with these companies? You're the CEO of Disney. You want ABC News. Whatever else the matter right now. So Iger looks at Stewart and goes, well, the problem is that companies do not hold. journalist responsible when they say false things and when they distort
Starting point is 01:11:14 the record. And I'm going, the view is run by ABC. You moron. You, I mean, if I were Stewart, I would have grabbed his throat. I would
Starting point is 01:11:27 launch off the chair. And grab his throat and thrilled him. That when you run the view. That is so funny. That is so funny. Did I get too wound up? No, I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:11:43 I think that's appropriate. Let me switch to the final topic. I just had President Trump on talking about his lawsuit against everybody on the left. Everybody that was involved with the steel dossier. The only people he hasn't named yet is the media. I think in an America that I, in America that I, I grew up in that I understood this would have teeth,
Starting point is 01:12:12 but you wouldn't need it because the Justice Department would have already taken care of these things. Yeah, I told Trump he should name Putin in a lawsuit. Get Putin in there. Because Putin, Russian collusion, come on. Get everybody in. So does this have a chance?
Starting point is 01:12:29 No. But it's worth to do. Because number one, he files in Florida. So he gets a conservative federal court. No, the judge is appointed by Clinton and was the judge that threw out, you know, her private server stuff through that lawsuit out. Yeah, but then they'll go to the Court of Appeals. Yeah. What, what, and Trump's not paying any lawyer.
Starting point is 01:12:56 The lawyers are doing free so they can get on cable news and, you know, here's a big shot. He's representing Trump. So it's no downside for Trump to do this. If they ever get the depositions, that means Hillary Greene's. Clinton walks in, Comey walks in, under oath. And that's what it's all about. So what does Trump have to lose by throwing his giant hand grenade into the federal court system? Nothing.
Starting point is 01:13:21 And, you know, once you beat Stormy Daniels, I mean, the sky's the limit, right? Well, I will tell you this. I am one of the Americans that I don't care how you voted. And I don't care if you like him or hate him. this is important that this is cleaned up so it can never be happening it can never happen again nobody has paid any price for any of this and except the american people except the american people yeah except it's so corrupt my last column and it's still on bill o'reilly dot com says this is the most corrupt action in american history vis-a-vis presidential elections when you ignore the hunter-biden laptop
Starting point is 01:14:05 and then you promote Russian collusion, you combine the two. There has never been a bigger media scandal ever. All right, Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com. I got a minute, right? I know you do, yeah. Okay, so I got a lot of people walking up to me because everybody knows me, Beck. And they're very, very frightened. Of course, you're a very large man.
Starting point is 01:14:28 I am large. I mean, unusually large. They're frightened of the country. Oh, okay, all right. That we don't have enough power to fend off the bad guys. And I look at them and I say, when you read, killing the killers out May 3rd, the secret war against terrorists, I described the weaponry that the United States has.
Starting point is 01:14:49 No one knows the ferocity of our weapon system. If we wanted to take out bad Vlad, we could take them out in 20 minutes. But, of course, that might lead to a nuclear war. Yeah. Okay, but the weaponry we have, the warheads and everything else, dwarfs, anything Bad Blad has or she. And we go through it methodically in killing the killers because these are the weapons that are being used to assassinate the jihadists. And no one knows about it, Beck. I sent you a copy this weekend.
Starting point is 01:15:27 I didn't get it. I didn't get it. You got it, Beck. because I traded it right to your house. I've got all your books down right here, and I do not have Killing the Killers. I never received it. This is what I got with killing the mob.
Starting point is 01:15:44 Well, I don't know. I got killing the mob eventually, but not in advance. So, all right. Stu stole it to give to his mother. That's right. Bill O'Reilly, the name of the book, I guess, I wish I had a copy of it, killing the killers, the secret war against terrorists. And it's Bill O'Reilly. And you can order it now
Starting point is 01:16:07 on Amazon or wherever you get your books. And while you're there, there are hardbound copies available now of the Great Reset. And you can get that wherever books are said. Thank you very much. Yeah, it's a good book back. God bless you. Very much for having me. You bet. Talk to you later. Bye-bye. Thanks, Bill. By the way, one good news update before we go to break. Clarence Thomas released from the hospital. Oh, thank God. Thank God. Please pray for him. I mean, if we don't have the Senate and one of these guys dies, we are toast. We are toast. All right.
Starting point is 01:16:43 I'd be pro weekend at Bernie's, honestly, at that point. Oh, I would too. Oh, whatever we have to do. I think his family would be the same. They'd be like, what? He's fine. Dad's fine. Look at him.
Starting point is 01:16:53 Look at him. Not as loud as he used to be. All right. Big fan of being prepared, obviously. And I think you know that if you've been listening to me. or I don't know, even 10 minutes. But being prepped isn't just about stored food and water, guns, ammunition, bibles, things like that.

Starting point is 01:18:11 Join the conversation 888-7-27-B-E-C-K. So see if, and maybe I'm just the dumbest man in America, maybe I am, maybe I am. But can you make sense of this USA Today article suggesting that there's really no way to define, a woman. The subject, you know, came up in the court. Can I provide a definition of woman? No, I can't. You can't?
Starting point is 01:18:49 No, not in this context. I'm not a biologist. Peace published in USA Today yesterday. Tackled the subject running the headline. Marsha Blackburn asked Brown Jackson to define woman. Science says there's no simple answer. Now let me end. Unreal.
Starting point is 01:19:05 You ready? Scientists agree there's no sufficient way to clearly define what make someone a woman, and with billions of women on the planet, there is so much variation. Traditional notions of sex and gender suggest a simple binary. If you're born with a penis, you're a male and identify as a man. If you're born with a vagina, you are a female and identify as a... No, not identify. No, no, listen, listen.
Starting point is 01:19:30 But the reality is more complex. Oh, my God. Okay? There's not a single biological answer. There's not even an answer to the question. What is female? according to Jordan Young, pointing to at least six biological markers. Okay.
Starting point is 01:19:45 You ready? You got to take these into account. Genitals, chromosomes, gonads, internal reproductive structures, hormone ratios, and secondary sex characteristics. Okay. So you got to have a penis or a vagina, the chromosome, X or Y. you have to have ovaries or testicles. You have to have a uterus or not. I think that's easy to define a woman.
Starting point is 01:20:16 Yeah. That's easy. We've nailed it. That's easy. Now they've added two other things there, right? Secondary sex characteristics. No idea what those are. Which they can identify as anything.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Okay, I could say secondary sex characteristics. A woman who looks very manly? Is that? I mean. This is what they're doing, right? there's well, this, this person's secondary sex characteristics are that they like sports and hang out with the guys. Is that what it is?
Starting point is 01:20:43 I mean, I think that's what they're doing. And what was the other one? It was the hormonal percentages. It's like, all right. Well, that can obviously vary and you could still be a woman or a man. When you're an older woman or an older man, you have hormonal differences. And that's why guys get testosterone. Right.
Starting point is 01:21:01 Right. Things change. That does not make you, that doesn't mean you leave the category of male or female. You have a very low testosterone. You may be a female. Right. That's not how this works at all. And they know it. And look at what's amazing to this is the only thing they actually criticized of all the unconstitutional nonsense around Katanji Brown Jackson is that she said, not that she didn't answer, they liked that. Because there's, of course, scientists agree there's no answer, which is absurd.
Starting point is 01:21:28 But in addition to that, the thing they complained about was she said, I'm not a biologist, as if a biologist could answer it. They're pissed off at her because she indicated that a biologist would be able to answer it. And this biologist. That's what they're frustrated about. Right. Right. You can't answer these questions.
Starting point is 01:21:47 This is the nonsense. You can't answer the definition of a word. You're not allowed to use it. You can't use words that you don't know what they mean. Excuse me. I'm not saying this. Joe Biden said this. You were selected by a president because you were a black woman.
Starting point is 01:22:05 If I can't define a woman, how does he know he got the right person? How do we know he kept that campaign promise? I don't know. I think there should be a campaign. I think somebody should start it. How do we know she's a woman? Joe Biden has failed on his campaign promises. I want to see the six characteristics.
Starting point is 01:22:26 I want to test. I want to talk to you a little bit about sweat block. Sweat block is for men. Yeah, that's why when I called Tom Brady, I said, hey, Tom, how you're keeping, you know, the sweat down when you're with, you know, the hot babe? And he said sweat block. And I said, what about the gridiron? He said sweat block.
Starting point is 01:23:00 So that's why men like Tom Brady and me, completely made up story, use sweat block. Don't call him for details. He's going to pretend we don't know each other and he's never heard of sweat block. It's a great deodorant. it really, really works. It blocks man sweat. But ladies like it too. And if you really have a problem,
Starting point is 01:23:25 try sweat block the antiperspirant wipes. These are like nuclear weapons against sweating. Honestly God, nuclear. You apply it once every seven days. Okay? It's a nuclear weapon for sweat. Try the deodorant stick or the wipes. can do it now. Call them get sweatblock, sweatblock.com. Use a promo code
Starting point is 01:23:50 Beck and you'll save 20%. You can also find sweatblock on Amazon. So on the Twitters, of course to be found on the information superhighway, Alex Epstein writes, President Biden is a fascist in the literal sense of the term. He believes in pseudo-private property that government has an unlimited right to control. Case in point. He wants to dictate the exact relationship between crude and gas prices, which he is totally ignorant about. Oh, I wish he were wrong, but instead, he's on the program in 60 seconds. Okay, there are really a lot of good real estate agents that you'll find, and there are a lot of crappy ones, but when you're selling your house, don't, you know, don't take the real estate agent
Starting point is 01:25:37 that it's like, yeah, my son just started real estate. He's great. No, it's great. He's doing part-time right now. No, no, no. I want an expert. I want somebody who really knows what my house is worth, knows how to negotiate, has the best track record of selling homes in my area,
Starting point is 01:25:54 knows the players. I want somebody who has a list of people when they come in and go, yeah, you know, you're really going to have to fix that. Okay, do you know somebody that can fix it quickly? because everybody I know is like, you know, supply line, you know. Supply chain's breaking down. Supply chain, really? All they have to do is come over and just hook that back up.
Starting point is 01:26:19 Supply chain. I need somebody with a huge Rolodex as well. Somebody who is going to get the job done right. So you save the most amount of money when you're buying a house and you get the most amount of money when you're selling a house. Those are the real estate agents that we're going to turn you on to. It is a free service to you. Real estate agents, I trust.com.
Starting point is 01:26:38 Real estate agents, I trust.com. The name says it all. Do your own homework. Meet these people. You'll see the difference. Real estate agents I trust.com. Alex Epstein. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:26:54 President Biden is a fascist. Oh, how can you possibly say that, Alex? Well, thank you for picking. my most controversial and most literally true quote. Yes, it is. Yeah, it is truth. By the way, let me introduce you. This is Alex Epstein.
Starting point is 01:27:16 Epstein, he is the founder and CEO. He's better right the first time. Did I? Epstein. Sorry. It doesn't really matter. Alex Epstein, founder and CEO, Center for Industrial Progress, author of the moral case for fossil fuels. And it is a great, great book.
Starting point is 01:27:31 All right, Alex, how could that possibly be true? It's weird, but the term. term fascism isn't used except to insult kind of pro-freedom people. Yes. But fascism has a literal meaning, which I indicated in that tweet, which is it's essentially the same thing as socialism, which is total government ownership and control of everything. But under fascism, there's this phony ownership. So you have title to property, but the government has unlimited ability to control your
Starting point is 01:28:00 exercise of that property. And in some ways, it's worse than socialism. Because I, I, Rand, roughly put it as, you know, it gives you the responsibility of ownership without the benefits. Yep. It almost sounds like the Great Reset, but I digress. Go ahead, Alex. Oh, yeah. Well, it is, but I think it's important, and I'm glad you're highlighting the Great Reset, which is actually the Great Regress. But the Great Regress is global fascism in particular. So it's not saying, it's become out of fashion to say, okay, well, we, all us smart people are going to literally own everything and control it. They're like, no, you can
Starting point is 01:28:35 own it, but we have unlimited control, including we get to control every molecule of CO2, which basically means everybody and every machine in the society. So I think it's really important to identify fascism as a thing and for its negative associations to remain with it. And I think it's why it upsets people so much when I do it because they don't want those associations, but those associations are very deserved. So there's some disturbing things like yesterday coming out from Larry Fink, the head of BlackRock, which is one of the leaders of this fascistic movement. I mean, in case you don't know, he just said the actions taken by the private sector in Ukraine and Russia demonstrate the power of capital markets, how the markets can provide capital to those who have constructively worked within the system and how quickly they can deny it to those who operate outside of it.
Starting point is 01:29:32 holy mother that sounds terrifying that's everything we said was coming that is fascism and you and what's happening is uh president biden is saying we're going to do everything we can to get these oil prices down no he's not he's doing exactly the opposite exactly the opposite and he's doing it through these corporations in a public private partnership on esg to not provide any of the for these companies to actually build the infrastructure or reopen the infrastructure to get things flown again. So you raise a lot of issues, and I think all of those issues come together in what just occurred a few days ago, which is the SEC announcing new, what they call climate-related disclosure rule. This is in the context where we have rising oil prices, rising gasoline prices,
Starting point is 01:30:29 and lowering security, particularly in Europe, but also. also concerns in the U.S. And there's a recognition that we need more domestic fossil fuel production. And maybe that those who have been opposing domestic fossil fuel production over the years are villains in this case. And the Biden administration, that's kind of an obvious thing. But the Biden administration is trying to stretch all logic and say, no, in fact, we have done nothing to oppose domestic fossil fuel production, even though I've been doing
Starting point is 01:30:57 this for the last 20 years, including as part of Obama. and even though I literally ran on, I guarantee you we will end fossil fuel. So they're trying to stretch this so much, but they can't help themselves because at the same time, they just proposed these rules, which literally say that, which in effect to mean, I should say, that every company under a certain jurisdiction has to acknowledge climate catastrophisms. You have to say our CO2 emissions are not just causing warming, but literally global catastrophe. and you have to adopt practices that the government deems good. And they specify particular things like renewable energy, which really means unreliable solar wind. So if that's not fascism, I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 01:31:38 But it's even worse than regular fascism because it's green fascism, which means green is the idea that human impact is bad, which is an anti-human idea. So it's anti-industrial fascism, so the worst of all worlds, government control, but it's not even trying to make industry effective. It's trying to make industry green, which ultimately means just we don't do anything. So here's one thing that, because I'd like you to make the moral case, but here's something that most people don't know. When Trump got into office, Rick Perry was our secretary of energy, and he went over to Poland.
Starting point is 01:32:12 And Poland is somebody that was completely dependent on Russia for their gas. And Rick said, well, how much gas do you guys need? and he told him, the president of Poland told him, and he's like, I think we can get that from just Texas alone. Don't worry about your gas problem. We were shipping so much natural gas over to Poland that they were actually selling part of it, because they had enough for themselves. They were selling part of it to Ukraine. That took everybody out of the Russia pipeline. And Biden comes in, that's over.
Starting point is 01:32:52 We're not sending it now. that's insanity well so there's just this basic fact which is that the u.s has virtually limitless quantities of fossil fuel that we can produce domestically and abroad so and this is true of the world in general so when you see price spikes and supply not meeting demand you can be sure that the political phenomenon not a physical phenomenon or some like lack of skill or something like that and the natural gas case that you raise is a very instructive example recently on my podcast Power Hour, I had Toby Rice, who's the CEO of EQT, which is the nation's largest natural gas producer. And so, you know, we could be producing a third more natural gas
Starting point is 01:33:33 if we had the pipeline infrastructure and the export infrastructure. Well, who's been opposing pipelines and exports for 20 years? Joe Biden and in general, the anti-fossil fuel left. So the idea that they've done nothing to restrict production is just an insult to our intelligence. Yeah. So talk to me about, I mean, because when people say, we've got to get off fossil fuels, getting off of fossil fuels, even if we were building all kinds of nuclear reactors, we must have fossil fuels because almost everything in our lives has petrochemicals attached to it, correct? That's true, but it's a relatively small fraction of fossil fuels, and it's particularly oil and natural gas, although you can do that stuff with coal. So you're right that the general idea of keep it in the
Starting point is 01:34:26 ground, one major reason is just totally ignorant and destructive is because we have all these life-enhancing synthetic material. So if you want to keep it in the ground, that means the artificial hearts are never going to exist. That means, you know, refrigerators are not going to exist. Modern sanitation is not going to exist. So it's, what it really shows is the just fundamental irresponsibility of the anti-fossil fuel movement, but it's not just the petrochemicals, The main thing is the energy because false fuels still are a uniquely cost-effective source of energy, which means they provide low-cost, reliable energy for all types of machines, including heavy-duty industry and transportation, things that nothing else does right now.
Starting point is 01:35:06 And they do it on a scale of billions of people in thousands of places. And this is a world that is dramatically underpowered. We still have 3 billion people using less electricity than a typical American refrigerator. and that's why I say I have a new book coming out in two months called Fossil Future, and it is a fossil future, and we need to embrace that because the world needs more energy. Fossil fuels are uniquely good. We should be liberating nuclear, what I call decriminalizing nuclear. That's a key thing.
Starting point is 01:35:34 But for human beings to flourish for decades and generations to come, we need to be doubling down on fossil fuels. So right now, it looks like the new Axis power, if it's cobbled together, would include much of Asia, China, of course, and India, maybe even Saudi Arabia and Russia, they're all going to double down on fossil fuels, which makes our fight for climate ridiculous because you can't do half of the world. But that's what we're going to do. What happens to the West if we continue to go down this road with a great reset and, choking to death all of our fossil fuels. What does that mean for us? I'm glad you're highlighting this in fossil future.
Starting point is 01:36:27 I use the term unilateral disempowerment to discuss this because we're unilaterally saying, yeah, we're not going to be empowered by fossil fuels, but we're one-sixth of the world's emissions and declining. So what happens is- One-sixth. Go ahead. And declining. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:43 And so if you look at it's really terrifying. I mean, we're just getting a memory now of the 70s, which I was not a lot of, alive and I was born in 1980, but I know the history, people have had no idea until recently what an energy crisis is like and what you will do in an energy crisis. But what you see with Europe is look how cowardly they are in the face of Russia. They won't do anything. Why? Because Russia can literally kill them by cutting off their energy supply because they were so irresponsible and made themselves super dependent on Russia. This is just the beginning, though. There can be far more control. So there's the ability to cut off people's energy. But then
Starting point is 01:37:17 there's also just the ability to have far more resources for an economy and to wage war. A brilliant point, Palmer Lucky, who's the creator of Oculus, but also created the new defense company, Anderil, like one of the few tech guys who's really pro-American, he made the point that, you know, you succeed in wars with a massive domestic production ability that you can sustain. How does ours compare to China right now? And what's going to happen if we keep mandating unreliable solar and wind? and then they keep using 60 plus percent coal for their electricity,
Starting point is 01:37:49 including to make our unreliable solar panels and winter. We're going to be, we'll be France at best, France without nuclear power. Let me ask you this. We keep talking about, you know, well, gas is so expensive. You just buy an electric car. The electricity coming from the outlet is not a magic box. Most of it is made by coal. some of it is made by fossil fuels, some of it is made by nuclear.
Starting point is 01:38:18 But you cannot cut off the fossil fuels in our power plants. How fast? What does it look like? What percentage has to be plugging their cars in before we, without changing anything, have an energy crisis because of electricity? Yeah, that's a great thing to raise. you know, the Babylon B, I live in California still, and the Babylon B had this great headline when Newsom is just such a piece of work, because, you know, by 2035, he said we're outlawing
Starting point is 01:38:52 gasoline cars, and they had this great headline, you know, governor outlaws, like, you know, gasoline cars or mandates electric cars in a state without electricity. And that is the essential logic of what we're talking about. We're going to say we're going to use all of these battery cars, and yet we're undercutting our ability to produce electricity. We're seeing, you know, even more than the canary in the coal mine with what's happened in California, with what's happened in Texas. Just the fundamental thing that's happening is people are mandating unreliable solar and wind and they are divesting from reliable power plants. And in particular, they are not investing in resiliency measures. That's a lot of what happened in Texas where you don't weatherize things.
Starting point is 01:39:33 Correct. While Alberta did great with worse temperatures during the week of the Texas crisis, Texas had a disaster because it's spent, you know, 70 billion. million dollars on solar and wind and the related infrastructure. So it's a disaster to depend on electric, like the more you have electric vehicles, you have to have an amazingly robust grid and yet we're mandating these vehicles and worsening the grid, which just gives the government total control and can lead to total catastrophe. All right. I want to spend one more minute with you and talk to you about nuclear power. And we'll do that when we come back. First, car shield, there is, wow, there's nothing better than sitting in wall-to-wall traffic on your way to

So, Alex, let's talk a little bit about nuclear power plants. Is it true that Europe is thinking about actually coming back into line with,
Starting point is 01:41:51 nuclear power. I've heard talk that they're thinking about passing a bill saying that that cannot be included in ESG. It's true that there's the totally insane position that we care about CO2 emissions and yet we're against the best way of producing them, namely nuclear energy. That is finally getting attacked, which is nice. You're seeing that in Europe. You're seeing that in the U.S. The problem is that the anti-nuclear movement has spent the last 40 years essentially criminalizing nuclear. to the point where, say, in the U.S., the price has gone up by a factor of 10, even though nuclear has proven safer than people thought, and even though we have far more knowledge now and the raw material prices haven't gone up?
Starting point is 01:42:36 So how does something become 10 times more expensive adjusted for inflation? Regulation. Because the government has made it impossible. And I'm working actively with some people in Congress, and if anyone else wants to join, on a decriminalizing nuclear platform. What we've seen mostly so far, though, is welfare handouts. and quote unquote research, but that's not what's needed primarily. We need to liberate nuclear so you can have actual innovation and a free market.
Starting point is 01:43:01 And without that, it's just going to be all these boondoggles, which, you know, in the U.S. we have all these nuclear boondoggles, but nothing has gotten fully approved and conceived, conceived and approved since the Nuclear Regulatory Commission got created in 1975. I heard that there are these new nuclear plants that are being tested that are small, that can't really go into a meltdown at all. They're all self-contained and small. Do you know anything about this? Next generation of nuclear power?
Starting point is 01:43:32 I do. And so they're often called SMR's small modular reactors. The thing is, if you look at the timetable on these things, it's very emblematic of what happens to nuclear. They keep getting delayed and delayed and delayed. And it's a great thing to pursue, but as long as the criminalizing continues, any new nuclear technology is going to be demonized and criminalized.
Starting point is 01:43:54 Even nuclear reactors can very rarely melt down in certain circumstances, but that doesn't kill people. That's still better than the safest of any other energy technology, certainly way safer than hydro or fossil fuels or even solar and wind. So we shouldn't demonize as long as people believe existing nuclear is bad and they treat it as a criminal enterprise. We're not going to have any new nuclear. So the main thing that has to happen is political reform, not just, oh, let's do something
Starting point is 01:44:20 new because the new thing will be treated in the exact same wrong way as the old thing. Alex, I appreciate it. Thank you so much. And if there's anything you need to do to help legalize something that is totally legal with nuclear energy, count me in as a supporter. I think nuclear energy always has been and is the rational person's future and energy solution. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:44:49 Thanks, Glenn. You bet. Bye-bye. Alex Epstein. Epstein. How do you know the difference? You ask him. He tells you in the middle of the interview and then I freak out which one it is.
Starting point is 01:45:02 Stein. Alex Epstein, founder and CEO of Center for Industrial Progress, but also the author of the moral case for fossil fuels, a must read. All right. So you're heading into the weekend. You're probably excited about it because you can snack whenever you want. whatever you want without your wife constantly behind you saying how many candy bars does that make today the whole pizza is not just for you oh yeah no my wife is never saying like that

How can these be good for you? I have no idea.
Starting point is 01:46:05 I'm not asking any questions. I know they're a low calorie, high in protein, good for you, and you could tend to eat too many of them. I mean, you wouldn't have any experience. I wouldn't have any experience. Built.com. Built.com. Use a promo code Beck 15, say 15%.

This is the Glenn Beck program. Joe Biden said something pretty incredible yesterday. He came out and started explaining, what do you mean that the American people need to understand that this will come at great cost? Remember he said that when he first announced the sanctions? well, here he is on food shortages yesterday.
Starting point is 01:47:20 With regard to food shortages, yes, we did. So I'll talk about food shortages. And it's going to be real. The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia. It's imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well. Okay. Food shortages.
Starting point is 01:47:43 When the president, like Biden, says something that is not good for his approval rating. When he says these things are going to happen, I would suspect they're going to be much worse, you know. He was like, yeah, we have some inflation, but it's, you know, temporary, transitory. Nope. So he is warning about food shortages now.
Starting point is 01:48:07 And there's going to be an answer for all of these things. And one of them is, control of you, what you buy, what you don't. Rationing, I would imagine, is going to be part of things in the future, at least gasoline, I'm sure. Here's the Black Rock CEO. BlackRock is the biggest investment group in the world. Larry Fink is the CEO. He's probably the most powerful man in the world.
Starting point is 01:48:41 And he knows it. here's what he said at a New York Times conference. Listen. Well, behaviors are going to have to change. And this is one thing we're asking companies. You have to force behaviors. And at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors. Okay.
Starting point is 01:48:58 So we're forcing behaviors. This is called ESG. Please get the book, The Great Reset. My book is out and you can get it in hardbound copy right now while paper lasts. these actions taken by the private sector demonstrate the power of the capital markets. Now, that is Larry Fink yesterday in what he wrote very arrogant, what he wrote to investors. Now, they take companies over. They just buy them.
Starting point is 01:49:31 And they buy enough to be able to take the board over. They put three environmentalists at Exxon. on the board and they just force them to do things. And if they can't force them, the banks will or the government will or the insurance companies will because they control so much of everything. And this is all built on fear and intimidation. As he says, Black Rock, we're forcing you to do things. Okay. Well, so what he said about Russia. These actions taken by the private sector demonstrate the power of capital markets, how the markets can provide capital to those who constructively work within the system and how quickly they can deny it to those who operate outside of it.
Starting point is 01:50:23 Now, if that doesn't send a chill down your spine, you better check because you may be dead. if you don't think that they would do it to a country with nuclear weapons and they wouldn't for some reason do it to your store, your business, your life, you don't have any nuclear weapons. They can silence you online you'll never be heard from. You will comply or will use your access to capital to crush you. there are some states that are standing against this now, and it is vital that you call your governors and your state reps and your state senators, and you have them pass anti-ESG legislation. I want to talk to you about West Virginia.
Starting point is 01:51:22 West Virginia, the legislature has passed S-262, so it's gone through the Senate and the House. it prohibits financial institutions, banks, anybody who's financial services, from doing business with the state of Virginia if they're engaged in any kind of a boycott of energy companies. This is really important. I wish it was broader. I wish it included the S and the G. But at least you can stop this nonsense of people like BlackRock saying, no, we, you know what? you're a you're risky you're in petrochemicals you're in in you know fossil fuels and i just don't think we can take that risk so no bank will give you a loan that's what's happening now we've had
Starting point is 01:52:09 riley more he's the treasurer love this guy he has championed this legislation been sounding the alarm of the urgent need for states to stand together and address esg the good news is is that west virginia governor jim justice has indicated he's going to to sign the legislation. It has a deadline of March 30th, which is what day? What day is it today? 25th. Okay, so early next week. He could sign it as early as today. I would like you to give him positive reinforcement and thank him for doing the right thing in his state and for the people of West Virginia and quite honestly the rest of the nation because we require energy. And West Virginia provides a lot of coal.
Starting point is 01:53:03 So Jim Justice is his name. If you're in West Virginia, you know, call the capital call his office. Don't send an email. Just call his office and thank him for signing the anti-ESG bill. Thank him in advance because I know he's going to do the. right thing. So call his office and thank him. His name again is Jim Justice, the West Virginia governor. You highlighting here the legislative pushback, I guess, against ESG scores. Is part of this, though, too, in addition to what you're talking about, people who are on your side of this,
Starting point is 01:53:42 people who understand this from a conservative perspective or a constitutional perspective, free market perspective, that are in position. positions of power, not only just because they're maybe very wealthy and could fund an effort that would push back against this, but also people who work or maybe run banks that can say, hey, we see what's going on with the ESG scores. Come to us and we're going to deal with you like a business. Is there a role for people like that to step up and say, we see what's going on and we're going to help and would garner loyalty, I think, from a lot of people in this audience who would
Starting point is 01:54:18 rather do business with people like that? are banks that are working on this. And I'm not prepared to say, you know, what they are because they are in the midst of cobbling together some things to stand against it because they see this as a free market thing. However, you got to deal with the Fed who is also in on ESG. They get their loans from the Fed. So the problem with ESG is it's captured almost everything. So you have to choke it off with the investment money. If everybody said, I'm not dealing with BlackRock and you think you don't. But if you have a 401k or any kind of investment, I can guarantee you your money is with BlackRock.
Starting point is 01:55:06 Some way or another, you are helping BlackRock. You need to go to your corporate, you know, HR and say, hey, I, I will. want to see, are we invested in Black Rock and get your money out of Black Rock? You need to start choking the money off of people like Black Rock or any of these big banks. They will respond to that. That's why it is so vital that the states say, we're not doing business with any company or, and that would include Black Rock. That's a company that is choking off our fossil fuels. We're not taking all of our retirement funds. We're not doing any kind of business with state funds with you.
Starting point is 01:55:57 That will make the biggest impact. Is there a role for crypto in this as well? And is this why people like Elizabeth Warren, for example, seem to be so against it? Yeah, because once the Fed has the Fed coin, then you're trapped. Then you're in the situation that McDonald's was in in Russia. Oh, I guess I am going to leave all my stuff. Reputational risk. Was that the phrase?
Starting point is 01:56:22 Reputational risk. That's when you know a company is being pressured by ESG. Reputational risk. Well, you'll have the same thing because companies will say to you, I can't really do that because you could be a real liability for me. And you can't take your money and buy things. There's a story today. this is from, I think, Sweden, Deconomy.
Starting point is 01:56:50 Deconomy has a new card out. Now, this is, I don't have a problem with this because this is your personal choice at this point. But this is the way digital currency will work. The do black. And what it is, is it tracks, this is your credit card, and it tracks your carbon footprint as you spend. and then it puts a hard limit on your footprint for the year. So your card stops working after you've reached your carbon footprint.
Starting point is 01:57:24 That's the kind of thing that a programmable digital dollar can and will do, especially if you have people like Larry Fink and Klaus Schwab and all of the people that believe in the Great Reset or, more importantly, modern monetary theory. which is what our government is working on now. Print as much money as you need or want. You don't even have to worry about people loaning you the money. You're good for it as long as you can control spending at the individual level. They have to be able to control what you buy, where you buy,
Starting point is 01:58:07 and to control in public-private partnerships all of the industry. industry and and labor. That's vital. That's the second half of modern monetary theory, which we are operating on right now. By the way, there's a couple of other things I want to just quickly mention. There's a story out now. Poor countries that are reliant on fossil fuel revenues need more time to end production and financial support to do so.
Starting point is 01:58:36 Okay. So poor countries, they're going to need rich countries. Whenever you hear rich countries, just think of the United States. States of America, rich countries to support them because they rely on fossil fuels. Rich companies, countries must end all oil and gas production by 2034 to keep the world on track for a 1.5 degree Celsius and give poorer nations longer to replace their income from fossil fuel production. So they're going to phase this. out. First, transfer of wealth. We have to prop up the economies in the rest of the world because
Starting point is 01:59:22 they can't get off of fossil fuels because they're not industrialized enough. We have to get off industrial. Zero, zero, oil and gas production by 2034. Zero. Not possible. Not possible. So we're going to be paying for somebody else because we're a rich country, but we have to stop all oil and gas. The good news is if this is actually the idea that seems to be fairly close to the Great Reset, if this is what we're shooting for, the good news is we'll be one of those poor countries. So we'll be able to make oil and gas because there's not going to be two dimes to rub together. in this economy. All right. Gold Line. I want to talk to you a little bit about Gold Line.
Starting point is 02:00:14 There you've got a couple of things going on. First of all, they're launching the first item of the new series of the one ounce silver Benjamin Franklin commemorative round. There's a reason I have to call it a commemorative round. It's great because it looks like a coin, but it is definitely not used for currency. It's it's Ben Franklin on the front. It is on the back. the original seal that he suggested for the United States with the Pharaoh and the Egyptians
Starting point is 02:00:43 chasing the Hebrews into the Red Sea. It is a fantastic coin. You have one right in front of you. Yeah, really cool. They are really cool. Limited edition. They're great collector's items, but they are also 100% silver. And they're coming out now with gold and copper versions that are available. I designed these coins, these silver rounds. And I think you'll, I just think you'll love them. Anyway, collector's items. Huh. I'm a big collector, Glenn.
Starting point is 02:01:16 Are you? I like collecting coins like this because I want a collection of them. Right. And you might meet other collectors sometimes and they might have something, you know, in their collection that you go like, hey, I'll trade you one of these for one of yours. You know what I mean? That's great collections to have. Also, Gold Line will have the golden silver, I'm sorry, the golden copper,
Starting point is 02:01:37 versions available. It's a great way to build a hedge against insanity. Qualifying orders are going to also receive a signed copy of my most recent book, The Great Reset. Also extremely limited. A collector's item. Find out how you can acquire this and the book. All you have to do is call 866 Goldline, 866 Goldline or goldline.com.
