The Glenn Beck Program - Who’s the Fascist Here? | Guest: Nikki Haley | 4/26/22

Episode Date: April 26, 2022

Glenn sets the record straight about what fascism means — and which side fits the definition— after the Washington Post attacked his book, “The Great Reset.” The Left claims Elon Musk’s supp...ort for free speech on Twitter is dangerous. Utah is an interesting mess. Glenn looks at how Japan’s inflation death spiral could tank America next. In some good news, the Supreme Court could do wonders for religious freedom as Coach Joe Kennedy’s case is heard. Former Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley joins to discuss how President Biden’s fear of Putin is lengthening the war in Ukraine, why she endorsed Sarah Palin for Congress, and why Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter is a “win for freedom.” Meanwhile, HuffPost can’t get over Jan. 6.

I had horrible allergies last week, and they turned into something with my vocal cords, and I've got the weaniest vocal cords in the world, and it took a couple of days off,
Starting point is 00:04:12 and I feel much better today, so thank you for that. Yeah, welcome back. Thank you. Boy. There's a lot you missed. Oh, I know, and we've got a lot on the plate. And I just, I want to start with this, and I don't want to make this self-serving.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I want to make sure that this is a lot. understood that we are making sure that everyone understands basic terminology, basic systems of government, and you can come out with the absolute facts, and you decide which is which. Okay. The Washington Post came out yesterday with a story. Glenn Beck is resurrecting rhetoric that is long falsely targeted Democratic presidents. This is strangely after what, 12 weeks out, 15 weeks out, the book on the Great Reset,
Starting point is 00:05:07 the Washington Post has decided to not do a book review because it's pretty clear the guy didn't read the book, but it's not a book review. It's instead an attack on me again calling me Father Coglin, which I, oh, if anybody but you progressives knew who he was. be so effective, but only you guys know who he is because you gave birth to him. Anyway, the Washington Post says, according to the right-wing commentator, Glenn Beck, President Biden is a fascist. In his latest book, Beck and co-author Justin Haskins warned that Biden is aligned with a cabal of international elites plotting to create a new kind of fascism that resembles Nazi-era
Starting point is 00:05:53 controls on businesses in Germany. How is Biden promoting this takeover? As far as Beck and Haskins are concerned, it's through his build-back better economic plan. Isn't that ridiculous? Those are just efforts to combat climate change and coronavirus mask and vaccine mandates. Is that what the build-back better plan is?
Starting point is 00:06:19 Because I think the people, you know, maybe all around the world involved in the, Economic Forum. Let's say the Prime Minister of Japan who also ran on his build back better plan, or the build back better plan that Boris Johnson ran on. I don't think it's about mask mandates. But maybe that's just me. This alleged plot, no, it's not an alleged plot. It's right there. If you read the book, you'd see the about 50 page of fine print footnotes quoting them. You're not having to look at a conspiracy theory. I'm just quoting whitehouse.com.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Treasury.gov. W.E.F.org. That's all I'm doing. So it's not really my theory. Anyway, the alleged plot would probably surprise Biden. Biden is surprised every day. he still wakes up. His support for labor unions,
Starting point is 00:07:27 increased corporate taxes, and higher minimum wage are widely opposed by the very same bankers and big businesses that Beck and Askins assert are backing the fascist scheme. This guy has, this guy is living in 1972. He has no idea what's happening in the current business world, or he's just,
Starting point is 00:07:48 he's either a useful idiot, or he's a propaganda. Andes. Even if Beck claims don't make sense, they don't make sense? How do they not make sense? That's weird. You know, it doesn't make sense. That it's the number one bestselling book in the nation has been for weeks.
Starting point is 00:08:07 And yet I'm 15 on the New York Times bestseller list. That doesn't make sense. The Fox News host is the sixth most popular talk radio show in the country. Wow. Actually, I think I'm 15th in the New York Times, and I believe I'm 12th in talk radio. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Equally important, Beck is tapping into deep historical vein of conservative thinking. Right-wing media used remarkably similar and sometimes even harsher rhetoric against Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the 1930s.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Conservative commentators frequently compared Roosevelt to the, tyrannical, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Joseph Stalin who were terrorizing their countries and menacing the world during his presidency. First of all, you wouldn't know that Joseph Stalin was terrorizing his people because the New York Times was covering up all of the atrocities. The New York Times was saying that Stalin was great. Time magazine, Mussolini, he's great. So before we move on, let's figure out what fascism actually means.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Now, from Miriam Webster, you have a political philosophy, a movement or regime, such as that as the fascistee, that exalts nation and often race above the individual and stands for centralized autocratic government headed by a a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. Okay. Who's suppressing the opposition? Who's the one calling parents who stand up and say, I don't think this should be taught? Who's the one defining them as terrorists?
Starting point is 00:10:14 Who's the one that says, now, I love... Pesos. What a joke. By the way, have you seen his new building in Virginia? The new, it's again, phallic-shaped. I don't know what the deal is with this guy, but it's more like a pig. It's like a, anyway. So I don't know what it is about these guys where they seem to miss. In fact, just yesterday, do we have Jen Saki on Twitter and how we, really should. Are we going to still talk to these people? Are we still going to make lists of who should be banned and not? Listen, the surgeon general has said that misinformation about COVID amounts to a public health crisis. I'm wondering, regardless of ownership, would the White House be interested in working with Twitter like it has in the past to continue to combat this kind of misinformation?
Starting point is 00:11:12 Or are we in a different part of the pandemic where that kind of partnership is no longer necessary? Well, I think we engage regularly with all social media platforms about steps that can be taken. That has continued and I'm sure it will continue. But there are also reformed. Stop. What is she saying? What is she saying? We contact social media regularly and they have said it in the past to give them lists of names of people that should not be taken seriously and maybe the algorithm should be changed.
Starting point is 00:11:44 By the way, Stu, did you see I gained 100,000 followers on Twitter just last night? Isn't that crazy? Isn't that nuts? No, I did not see that. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. People all over the country, conservatives are finding that their Twitter numbers just went up overnight.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Hmm. Huh. It's really weird. Anyway, fascist believe, now this is according to Wikipedia. Now, tell me, this is Wikipedia. Remember, run by Marxists. Okay? This is Wikipedia.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Held me out, Stu, on what you think maybe the Washington Post is missing here. Fascists believe that liberal democracy, let me define that. Liberal democracy means people who believe in the maximum amount of freedom before anarchy. Okay. It's not like liberal in our current political sense. That was FDR that changed that. Okay, he changed it to get rid of the constitutional argument. So a liberal democracy is what I believe in.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Okay. The fascists believe that a liberal democracy is obsolete. Now, which side is it that says, that's an old dusty document. The founders, you know, are irrelevant. All of the constitution. is irrelevant. Who is that? Second sentence, they regard the complete, listen to this, they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation
Starting point is 00:13:31 for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. Now, how many times have you heard them say, global warming, this is a war. How many times have you heard the Biden administration say about the Great Reset that this is going to be a war that lasts for decades? Why is he saying that? Because he needs to, let's see, complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state, does anybody doubt, does anybody doubt that the fascists, or I should say the progressives in either party wouldn't mind offing the other party and just say, yeah, it's all Republicans and all Democrats. You'd have a few Republicans, but you'd have the majority of the Democrats. You'd certainly have AOC and Bernie and everybody else. Okay. They also say,
Starting point is 00:14:40 a fascist state is led by a strong leader. Okay, they got me there. Okay. And martial law government composed of the members of the governing fascist party to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society. I would say that that's what happened during COVID. Fascism rejects assertations that violence is automatically negative. Huh.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Isn't that weird? Like violence on January 6th was negative, but violence for BLM was not negative. They view political violence and war as a means that can achieve national rejuvenation. Hmm. Mark my words, that's going to become very important this fall. It might even happen after the Supreme Court issues all of its rules. rulings. They are going to go bat crap crazy. And I believe they're going to just try to burn this whole thing down. They also advocate a national economic self-efficiency through protectionist
Starting point is 00:15:54 and economic interventionalist policies. What have you been hearing lately? The lie from them? This global thing is not working. We've got to, we've got to really come back to our nation. I mean, I'm saying that for common sense. But what they're saying is that's why we have to globalize even more through the Great Reset. They're using the terminology, but they're saying, but we're going to globalize even more. We're just going to cut half the globe out. The extreme authoritarianism and nationalism often manifests a belief in racial purity or a masculine. race. Now, I think the fascist, that's why the book says, 21st century fascism, not 20th century,
Starting point is 00:16:50 because the fascists then were saying Jews. And by the way, fascism doesn't always include race, doesn't. It often leads to that because people are generally evil that want to rule everybody's lives and generally nuts. And so they have to get rid of people. And so they just get rid of more and more people. Anyway, you don't have to do that. But it also depends on who the fascist is. Hitler was crazy nuts.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Hated the Jews. So he blamed it on the Jews. That generally comes from a socialist standpoint. You know, Marxism, hatred of the Jews, kind of goes hand. glove. But Mussolini didn't. Musilini didn't hate the Jews. In fact, he really, really despised Hitler for that. And you know, it's weird. Let me read this again. The extreme authoritarian and nationalism of fascism often manifest in a beliefs of racial purity and a master race, kind of like white people
Starting point is 00:18:02 are bad no matter what they do. And black people. or people of color are good no matter what they do. So we've lost all reason and we've lost Martin Luther King's idea of race doesn't matter. Who's pushing that race matters and that there's a bad race. Who's pushing that? Is that the left or is that the right? Hmm Also, fascist regimes have been led to commit
Starting point is 00:18:43 genocides, massacres, forced sterilization. Who? Was that the left or the right? Was that the liberal democratic person, or was that the progressive that did the... I don't know what you're missing, Washington Post, other than logic, facts, history.
Starting point is 00:19:07 But it's good to know, that I must be getting under your skin. I must have, for you to get a call to say, hey, would you write something on this book? For you to get that call from, I don't know who your overlord is. It must mean that this is causing them some problems. And I would just like to say,
Starting point is 00:19:30 the book is available wherever you buy books. You can get it online or go to glensnewbook.com and get it. It's called the Great Reset. Joe Biden and 21st century fascism. Lifelock, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service received almost 300,000 complaints of mail theft in the year 2020. That's up 160% compared to the previous year. And that was a year when we were all staying home. If you think you have adequate protection, doing these things, we do everything online now.
Starting point is 00:20:09 it's not just the mail it is online and um if you think you have enough protection it's a pretty big if it's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives every single day we put information our information on risk at the internet and uh that's why life lock is here nobody can monitor everything or catch everything but they're the best in the business in my opinion they've been doing it the longest and they have a restoration specialist just in case something goes wrong. They have a whole team of people that can help clean this up with you, which, I mean, if this happens to you,
Starting point is 00:20:46 do you have any idea how to clean it up? Because I know. Lifelock. This is what they do. Lifelock. Lifelock.com. Use the promo code Beck. Save 25%.

Elon Musk yesterday issued a statement after the Twitter Board of Directors approved his offer to buy Twitter.
Starting point is 00:21:28 He says under the terms of the agreement, Twitter stockholders receive $54, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And he talks about the freedom of speech. That freedom of speech is critical. to the survival of a free nation. Now, somehow or another, he's called a danger to free speech. Right. You know, free is free.
Starting point is 00:21:58 And the people who are calling him that, or, you know, is big tech, which, by the way, censored Joe Biden's critics 646 times since he has been in office. deleted social media accounts or posts, given warning labels that stopped people from sharing or commenting, were counted between March 2020, March 2020. 140 involved the New York Post story. The largest category of censored cases included 232 posts an attempt to blast the president's behavior with women and children.
Starting point is 00:22:36 One example on Facebook deleted a user's post for violating community, community, standards on nudity or sexual activity. All they did was put the caption of Biden kissing a little girl. Find someone who kisses you the way Joe Biden kisses his granddaughter. That's it. They were banned. Who's the fascist here? American financing NMLS 1-8-2334. www.mLS consumer access.org. If you're holding back from buying or refinancing a house because of the recent rise in rates, you should consider that inflation is up much more. A year ago, it was running at 2.6% inflation on a year-to-year basis. Today, the official stat is 8.5.
Starting point is 00:23:29 That's a lie. If you want to measure it the way we did the last time we had inflation, which was back in the 1970s and 80s, we now are running at 17.1% inflation. now 5% for your for your loan paying that back a year from now with dollars that have depreciated by 8.5%. It's better to get the money now and pay it off. American financing is available now at 800906 2440. I highly recommend a refi.

Constant lying about fascism is available in Glenn Beck's The Great Reset in bookstores everywhere. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I just want to finish my little history lesson here on, you know, fascism and what it is. fascism in its most clinical sense is autocratic.
Starting point is 00:24:53 There's a dictator up at the top. Now remember, this was done before dictator had a bad name. Autocratic state didn't have a bad name around the turn of the century. It was a way to cut through and forget about all of these little processes that we have to go through. Look, we're going to get a group of people of experts together. And the experts are going to chart the course. and they're just going to push it through. We don't have to worry about a Constitution or Congress.
Starting point is 00:25:22 We'll just get it done because things are moving too rapidly. Does any of this sound familiar? Because that's what fascism was before it got the bad name of what it really is. And they loved fascism. Now, the reason why I'm talking about this is because you need to understand what morons Jeff Bezos is hiring at the Washington Post. The guy has absolutely no idea what a fascist really is. He's saying that I am, I'm just, I'm pulling out an old trope. I love that one. By the way, later on in the article, he calls me an anti-Semite for bringing in George Soros, which I'm clearly an anti-Semite.
Starting point is 00:26:11 What are you holding there? Glenn? What are you holding? Oh my gosh, I didn't even notice. I'm holding my Defender of Israel Award given to me by Benjamin. No, he'll so. Does this columnist have a defender of Israel award? I don't think so. Maybe, maybe. I mean, everybody gets them, you know, these days. Anyway, so he's claiming that this is an old trope that has happened for the last 90 years.
Starting point is 00:26:37 And, you know, I'm thinking if something keeps being brought up generation after generation after generation over nine decades, there might be something to look into. Might be. Might be. The question is often asked in America and in Europe, just how much fascism the American president program contains. The answer? It is the principle that the state no longer leaves the economy to its own devices.
Starting point is 00:27:12 This is boldly. interventionalist. What was, who was saying this? And what was he talking about? He was talking about the New Deal and the person saying that was Mussolini. FDR, Mussolini continued, was moving his country in the direction of national socialism. And without question, the mood accompanying the sea change resembles that of fascism. End quote.
Starting point is 00:27:37 boy, one of the, well, the official Nazi newspaper said about FDR, we too as German national socialists are looking towards America. FDR, the Nazi publication said, was replacing the uninhibited frenzy of market speculation with the adoption of national socialist strains of thought in his economic and social policies. The only problem is we fear that he might fail. Okay, all right, okay. Returning to FDR's New Deal policies, the Nazi paper said, if not always in the same words, FDR2 demands the collective good be put before individual self-interest. That is an important phrase. Which side do we hear saying that?
Starting point is 00:28:31 Which side? is the ones quoting the Constitution and the founding fathers? No, because they believed in the individual. It would have to be those on the progressive left that are demanding the collective good to be put before individual self-interest. Just a, you know, I just wanted to throw those out there, you know, just so people could see them.
Starting point is 00:29:01 And when I say people, I mean the people at the Washington Post. By the way, in a completely, completely non-fascist tangent here, John Kerry, the special envoy for a climate, issued a warning last week to the domestic natural gas industry saying producers are being put, quote, on notice.
Starting point is 00:29:32 If you can capture the emissions literally, genuinely, then you're reducing the problem, Kerry said to Bloomberg. We have to put this industry on notice. You've got six, eight, maybe no more than 10 years or so within which you've got to come up with a means by which you're going to capture. And if you're not capturing, then we have to deploy alternative sources of energy. Wow. So the government is putting a group. of business people on notice.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Because remember, this is for climate control. And, you know, gas industry is really, really bad. Forget the fact that, you know, Joe Biden's son and, and I believe a Kerry family friend, which was also in bed with Kerry's son, you know, joined the Ukrainian Gazprom, you know, board. so it's, you know, it's Burisma, but don't pay attention to what the, he, this is a new day. This is a new day. Utah, boy, are you an interesting mess?
Starting point is 00:30:46 Utah Democrats have now nixed their candidate for Senate and are now backing the independent Evan McMuffin for Senate. What's just, it's not McMullen? McMullen, Evan McMullen. And so now the Democrat that was going to go up against Mike Lee, not going to appear, not going to appear. Because the Democrats decided, they looked at Evan McMullen and said, oh, my gosh, he is our guy. He's our guy. That's what they're saying here, yes. They are saying that.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Yeah. This is sort of similar to, we talked about this a couple of weeks ago about Joe Lieberman, when he was running, he ran for the Democratic nomination and then lost the nomination against Ned Lamont. And then he was like, well, this is ridiculous. And he ran as an independent and wound up winning. And part of that equation was the Republicans basically giving up on their candidate. Now, they didn't take him off the ballot, but they said, don't vote for him, go for Lieberman because he's going to be a heck of a lot better than Lamont. Here, they're even more, this is like, even more explicit.
Starting point is 00:32:03 They're just, they're not even running a candidate. I know. Two major parties is not running the candidate for Senate. That's crazy. I mean, it shows how, you know, these times have changed, right? And people have changed. But it's like, there's a,
Starting point is 00:32:16 they're just looking at Evan McMullen as a Democrat, which, I mean, you know, is, you look at the way he's, he's hammering Mike Lee. It's hard to deny. Yeah. And, you know, Mike Lee, here's the thing that, that kills me. when you look at somebody who is a constitutionalist,
Starting point is 00:32:33 you look at them and you can't promise yourself that you're going to be happy with everything they do. Because the Constitution cuts both ways. Sometimes when you really want to do something, you're like, hey, we got to do this to fix the country. Nope, that pesky constitution stops you from doing it. There are times that I've called Mike up and I've done. said, what are you doing, man? And he's like, I know. It's the Constitution. I've got to stand
Starting point is 00:33:05 with the Constitution. He's doing stuff sometimes that he doesn't like. He does it because he is upholding the Constitution. And they're just trying to get somebody in who will just, can we just lay this pesky Constitution aside, please? It's just so cumbersome. Well, and is that even the, that's not the issue here, right? This is just, they're just trying to fool people in Utah who might, would never consider a Democrat, but might consider an independent, right? People who are moderate Republicans or, you know, or maybe, maybe just generally moderates who would never consider some crazy left winger to instead vote for a guy who's acting at this point like a left winger to get votes against Mike Lee. Well, he won't now. He won't now because now this is a strategy.
Starting point is 00:33:57 got nobody on the left to have him to pull back to the left. So he'll say anything that he has to. And this has nothing to do with Mike Lee or his policies or whether he stands with the Constitution. This is just a strategic political effort to oust a good Republican, somebody who actually stands for the Constitution. Yeah. And, you know, the good news is, well, I was going to say the good news is Utah's
Starting point is 00:34:22 and have that stupid. And then I remembered your governor. And I thought, oh, I don't know. By the way, a new candidate for Congress in Washington State, Stu, you're going to love this because you know how life imitates art? Okay. No. You can do, you cannot do comedy anymore on the state of the world.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Because everything we used to say, well, why don't you just, they're doing? This new Democratic Socialist Congressional candidate says the $15 minimum wage, which is crippling Seattle. Yeah, that's not enough. It needs the starting point is $30 an hour. Now, we've joked about that, but we said, why stop at 30 even? Why not just make it a million? Because we could all be millionaires. So why don't we all just work for an hour and we'll just force these companies?
Starting point is 00:35:35 They can afford it, you know. Have you seen how much these Fortune 500 companies have? They got a lot. They should pay. Bezos, like he's going to miss a million dollars? Huh? Everyone should have minimum wage million dollars. Why is that lunacy?
Starting point is 00:35:54 Sincerely, why is a $100 an hour wage lunacy? No reason under the construct of the left. Right. I mean, when you're advocating for modern monetary theory, why is 100 not, I mean, that's not even enough. Why not go higher? Keep it going. You know, I have a $100 trillion dollar bill from Zimbabwe. I'm a trillionaire.
Starting point is 00:36:17 It's really fun to be a trillionaire. Why shouldn't everyone be one? Right, exactly right. By the way, DeSantis has now, you know, gotten rid of all the special privileges. They're crazy. This is such a fascistic move, yada, yada. No, it wasn't done by a dictator. It was done through the regular system. It was all done according to the law. So it's not fascistic in nature. You may not like it, but it is, it was not done through fiat. And that's kind of where you're going to do the old dictator thing. You know what I mean? The other thing about it is I would just like to, while we're here talking about states, I would just like you to know, Colorado, Disney's not moving there. Okay? No.
Starting point is 00:37:05 It seemed like such a real effort. Yeah, I know. To lure the, I mean, because they just get a couple cranes, right? Maybe cranes and some helicopters and lift the park. Yeah, well, you could put that thing on wheels. Yeah. It's like a carnival. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:37:18 You just want to stick it right in the middle of a nice cold environment. what I was thinking, how beautiful would it be to celebrate Christmas in Denver? Yeah. On Main Street USA. Oh, beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Yeah. You are stupid. Colorado. Yeah. Hey, Disney, you should move here. I don't know. We're considering Alaska and they've made a pretty nice bit.

Starting point is 00:40:51 There's an Instagram account called the depths of Wikipedia. Oh my God. Which just goes into the most obscure random things you can find on Wikipedia.

I've spent the weekend trying to do my homework so I could present this to you. It's about what's happening in Japan. Japan is collapsing and the media is not telling you anything about. it. We're going to go through it. It has a significant impact on your life and your world. We'll tell

And I think it's really important.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Japan said that they would be the first great reset full adopter. Okay. And that made me curious a few months ago when I found that out. I'm like, hmm, why? Well, I now know why. they are in serious, serious financial straits. They have been for a while. This is not a new problem.
Starting point is 00:46:08 This has been going on the decline of Japan since the 90s. Well, I read a story, what was it, Thursday or Friday, that the Japanese yen has fallen to its lowest level against the dollar in more than 20 years. This means it takes more yen to buy a dollar. As of Friday the 22nd, it was more than 125 yen to buy a dollar. Normally, only people who are like trading and currencies actually care about this. But the why behind the crash is why you need to care, okay? Because it could very easily lead to the crash of our treasury bonds.
Starting point is 00:46:57 And let me explain. Treasury bonds. Our debt. We issue treasury bonds every time our government spends money. And we have trillions of these out. And nobody is buying them. Okay. The days of us living high on the hog and,
Starting point is 00:47:16 ah, somebody will take this crap. Those days are over. Okay. The Japanese are the largest holder of U.S. Treasury bonds in the world. They hold more than China, more than any European country, more than any other entity except the U.S. Federal Reserve. Why does the U.S. Federal Reserve own so many treasury bonds? They never did that before.
Starting point is 00:47:45 They had to start doing it because no one in the world would raise their hand in auction and say, I'll take some of that American crap. okay so no one was buying it so the fed put trillions of dollars of our debt and they bought that debt by printing money okay Japan is number two Japan holds two trillion dollars of our debt now the story that I read on Thursday or Friday was that the prime minister had called Janet Yellen and called the president and said we need to be bailout. You got to help us out. You have to shore up the yen or we are done. Well, we didn't do that. We said we can't do that. And there's a couple of reasons why we can't. So with them being the largest holder, they're playing a game here. It's a shell game. The whole world is on this
Starting point is 00:48:52 shell game. They have two trillion dollars in treasuries and they're forced to sell those bonds to shore up their currency. This would cause our Fed to print more money to put billions into buying those bonds, which would now be on the market. So inflation could go to 20%. That's the story you'll hear if you pay attention to Bloomberg, but that's just a small part of what's going on. We know that Japan has the worst demographics in the world. It's the oldest population in the developed world. 3.4 retirees over the age of 55 for every one worker under the age of 30. So that one worker is expected to work to support 3.4 people. Nobody's entering the workforce.
Starting point is 00:49:52 If you're young, you're not going into the marketplace. The Japanese stopped having kids after the Asian miracle ended in 99 and Japan's economy crash. Remember the stories where they can't get guys to be even interested in sex? Consider this. Toyota and Honda, the two best made best-sell. brands in the world, right? Testaments to Japanese ingenuity and manufacturing. Except the Japanese demographics are so upside down, virtually no Hondas or Toyotas are actually made in Japan anymore. More than a decade ago, both companies realized they couldn't find any workers, and that's why they're
Starting point is 00:50:33 here in the U.S., Indonesia, and the Philippines. These companies were not alone. In the past 20, years, Japan has lost almost its entire manufacturing base. Does any of this sound familiar? Save a few technology sectors like motherboards and microchips, everything else is not made in Japan. This means their taxable income is gone. And as they move overseas, where labor is available and cost lower, some of the profits flow home to Japan. But most of the revenue generated, it stays in countries where manufacturing is occurring. So they had to make up the shortfall. What do you do?
Starting point is 00:51:21 They had a plan. They started selling more and more Japanese bonds to cover their deficits between the massive welfare state and the tax base. So they just started selling bonds. This is where we're at. Japan has the highest personal income taxes. in the G7. It also has the highest debt to GDP in the developed world.
Starting point is 00:51:52 Our debt to GDP is 130%. That's the highest we've seen since World War II. Japan's debt to GDP is 253%. Okay? That's double hours. So their economy, was collapsing. They had to sell bonds. Then they got to the place we are and they were like, nobody's buying our bonds. So what did they do? Now remember, this just was stated by the Biden
Starting point is 00:52:28 administration as something that is coming our way. What they did, so the country wouldn't collapse, they went and they sold Japanese bonds to investors in Japan at zero percent. interest. Now, why would a company take something where I'm not going to grow on my money and lock my money into a Japanese bond for 10 years? Why would you do that? Because the government mandated it. If you were a retirement fund, you had anything to do with Japan, you were investing, you had to put a percentage into government bonds. So, They bought these government bonds, which allowed them to then print more yen. And then what did they do?
Starting point is 00:53:21 They took that money and they bought our government bonds, which were returning about 2% interest to them. Now that 2% interest, think of this, that's coming out of your pocket. So we're paying them interest on $2 trillion in treasuries is about $40 billion a year. So we're sending $40 billion, and that's fine. That's a deal where, you know, we're buying turtle tunnels. I mean, you know, we need those things. But Japan's entire defense budget is $47 billion. So we are, in effect, funding $40 billion of their $47 billion in defense.
Starting point is 00:54:07 But then we also provide about $10 billion a year in discounts. for guns and ammunition and everything else. So we are paying 100% of their military. This isn't by accident and it's not a bad deal, actually. Our government is more than happy to do that because Japan is the most important strategic defense partner when it comes to containing China or defending Taiwan. We have 55,000 U.S. troops stationed.
Starting point is 00:54:43 in Japan. Japan is the only foreign country in the world, out of which the U.S. has permanently operated a U.S. carrier battle group. So, back to the end being in free fall, to keep their bonds at zero percent and then make that arbitrage thing work, Japan has to continue to buy its own bonds. But that's through quantitative easing, printing. So they print more yen to buy their bonds and anytime
Starting point is 00:55:20 the yield goes above zero, they're in trouble. They're creating artificial demand for their bonds. When the yield on the Japanese government bonds went to 1%, 2%.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Our 10-year bonds would not not be able to service that debt. So our bonds, they no longer have the $40 billion for their military, et cetera, et cetera. They have a debt of 253%. It would cost them to pay interest on their debt more than they ever collect in taxes. So to pay to that, they have to print currency, buy the bonds, buy ours, and we buy theirs, and it just starts all over again because we have to print money, they have to print money, and so it goes into this inflation death spiral. And that's where they are right now. They're the beginning of the inflation death spiral.
Starting point is 00:56:26 So here's the problem with all of this. if they collapse, I mean really collapse, who can bail them out? We can't. We're close to a death spiral. So who bails them out? And what happens when next September, President Z goes in front of his, you know, people's Congress and says, okay everybody vote I am dictator for
Starting point is 00:57:05 life when that happens and Japan if Japan is out we are so weak with everything else that is going on do you think we're going to save Taiwan
Starting point is 00:57:20 how would we even do that how would the West protect Australia by the way all of this is happening because the Fed said and the Treasury said, we can't bail you out. But what you probably don't know that we reported on about three months ago, the Fed did bail the Bank of Japan out. The Fed gave them $7 trillion.
Starting point is 00:57:59 That was in Q3 and Q4 of last year. We're in Q2. Seven trillion dollars they've burned through already. Prepare for impact. Prepare for impact because it is happening. The reason why they said they'd be number one on the boat for the Great Reset is because if we say jump, they are forced to say how high. but we no longer have enough juice to tell anyone to jump because we need all of that juice ourselves. Jamie wrote in about Relief Factor.
Starting point is 00:58:47 My husband and I both started using Relief Factor. We were surprised by the results. We both had minor aches and pains. Plus, I've had problems with my knee that wasn't improving. After about two weeks of Relief Factor, we both started seeing wonderful lessening of pain. Even my knee was feeling better. I can tell you going forward, we won't be without it. Thank you so much, Relief Factor.
Starting point is 00:59:08 If you're living with pain, may I recommend you give Relief Factor a try? It's not a drug, developed by doctors, and has four key ingredients that work with your body to fight inflammation. Try the three-week quick start right now. Develop for you at 1995. It's a dollar a day like a trial pack. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them have gone on to order more.
Starting point is 00:59:30 That tells you everything I think you need to know. Relieffactor.com. 1-800 for relief. 1-800, the number four relief. 1995, the three-week quick start. Develop for you at relieffactor.com. That's relief factor. Feel the difference.
Starting point is 00:59:46 10 seconds. Station ID. That makes sense. It's hard. It's a difficult. I mean, I wouldn't say I followed it entirely. Yeah. But I would say that it, what keeps screaming out to me as you go through all that is it's a house of cards.
Starting point is 01:00:15 House of cards. House of cards. Right? Like, it's impossible. Only perfection could unwind it successfully. And how are you going to unwind it? I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:25 I mean, I don't know how to do it, but I wouldn't know how to build a house of cards either. And that's the point. It's hard. It's a difficult thing to do. And if you make one tiny little mistake in the most minor way, it collapses. Correct. And that's, you know, when you, these, these finance schemes wind up working for a while. and then, you know, you get to a point, and it seems like we have these economic collapses, you know, almost on a schedule where these things no longer can hold the other scheme up.
Starting point is 01:00:57 One scheme needs to function as the weight-bearing pillar of another scheme. Exactly right. That's terrifying. You get to a point to where you were printing money and you cannot stop because you have to keep printing more money. Yeah. They are three years into their death spiral now. there are three years into it. We are 18 months into ours. So they're ahead of us. But gosh, what does anybody have? What bullets does anybody have to stop it? This is why the Great Reset is a
Starting point is 01:01:30 reality. This is why the Fed doing their digital currency. It will happen because it has to. The world has to reset. All of this debt all over the West is too big. They're not. They're not. going to reduce your debt they won't cancel out your debt but they'll cancel out the banks debts they'll cancel out you know the big huge business debt that it's too big to fail they'll cancel out some uh i think this is wishful thinking but some of the government debt they'll have to come up with something to reduce government debt so what's the way to prepare is there a way to prepare for this is it just taking care of your own personal situation. Have children. You don't want to end up like Japan. Have children. We have to have
Starting point is 01:02:19 children. That's the ultimate debt creating asset. Yes, I know. Yes, I do know that. But you have to have to have children. You have to be able to take care of yourself. We have to be able to make things here in America, you know, and don't buy into, look, the most important thing is to know who caused the problems. Who caused these problems? The Fed, the big banks, and the government. So when this all falls apart, who's going to come to us with the answer? The Fed, the big banks, and the government. They are the last people we should trust. They're the ones who built this. Trust yourself. Trust your neighbor. Don't, you know, my uncle was part of the, part of the test. during the 60s on what you do to survive a nuclear war.
Starting point is 01:03:17 And he's told me some stories. You know, now that he's getting a little, you know, a little more loose with the lips, he's been telling me stuff about, you know, most people will be surprised. They survive. That's going to be the biggest surprise. They survive a nuclear war. And whatever you do, don't listen to the people. that we're causing the problem.
Starting point is 01:03:44 They're going to tell you, go here. That's the last thing that you should do. And I think this is financial nuclear war. Don't listen to the people who got us into this mess. Don't listen. Why are we going to suddenly believe the media when they tell us this is the truth and this is what's asked to be done? Why? What?
Starting point is 01:04:07 We're going to suddenly believe them? No. Trust yourself. Be self-sufficient. Get out of debt. More in a minute. So it's pretty darn expensive to get your car repaired today, especially if it's out of warranty. I want you to imagine what it's going to be like in 10 years. You're going to have to give them, not one, but probably both arms to be able to bail your car out and get it out of the shop. Good news is one of those arms might have the mark of the beast on it or in it. So anyway, a car shield, you could be paying the same price in 10 years that you're paying right now.

Starting point is 01:05:58 I was just talking about the inflationary death spiral of Japan. Let me turn the tables here and show you where we're actually climbing the ladder. And we are doing better than we have in my lifetime. And that is with the Supreme Court on religious freedom. I was talking to Kelly Shackleford from First Liberty over the weekend. and he said, you know, five years ago, First Liberty, which just fights the religious cases of freedom of speech, freedom of religion. He said five years ago, we sat in front of a whiteboard and we said, dream big. Everybody dream big. I mean, like, let's really reach. So somebody put up on the whiteboard, one case per year, we will be arguing in front of the Supreme Court.
Starting point is 01:06:51 And Gilly told me he sat there and he said, I didn't say anything. He's the CEO. He's like, I didn't say anything because I didn't want to bring the room down. He's like, fat chance. There are 7,000 cases that the Supreme, that make it to the Supreme Court. And out of that 7,000, they maybe pick 150. So the odds of getting a, to argue in front of the Supreme Court is almost impossible. He said, you want to talk about a chance.
Starting point is 01:07:21 change. He said this year, I think it was this year he, they are arguing seven cases. And he believes they're going to win all of them. Now, this comes with a caveat. And this, this is something I would really prepare for. The onslaught of the left losing their minds this summer. It could be riots in the streets, it will definitely be a full court press, using that term right, full court press on packing the court, okay? Once you pack the court, you're done. As a nation, you're just done. That is the, that's the last step. That's what Venezuela, I think Venezuela has like 43 people under Supreme Court now. You just pack them. And then you get the political answer that you want. So the latest is the one that happened yesterday.
Starting point is 01:08:24 And this is the case of the football coach, the high school football coach named Joe Kennedy. If you don't know him or his story, you have to hear it. It is, it's unbelievable. Joe is a guy I just had on our podcast. Was it this, I think was this last weekend, wasn't it? Or the weekend before. So the last two Saturday podcast, you could find it with Joe Kennedy. He's fascinating.
Starting point is 01:08:54 He's not a Bible thumper. He grew up a bad kid, you know, didn't really believe in God and everything else. But turned his life around, but he's not a guy who's quoting scriptures. He's just a good guy who has a quiet faith and believes in God. And so when he was asked to coach for the. team in, I think it's Bremerton, he's asked to coach in Washington State and he decides, look, I'll do it if you want me to do it. He says a quick prayer. He gets his answer that night and he's like, okay, I'm in. But for this opportunity, I'm going to give you thanks every game.
Starting point is 01:09:38 Win or lose. Thanks. Privately. Not for anything else. And he would go to the 50 yard line after the game. Everybody's celebrating, breaking up. He quietly got down on his knee at the 50 yard line for about 20 seconds and just said, Lord, dedicated to you, thank you for everything. You know, amen. He said it privately. He said it to himself. And he never asked anyone to be involved. He never preached it to the kids. Nothing. An opposing team comes. to Bremerton and they see it and somebody on their side writes a vicious letter saying, how can you let this happen in your school? This is oppression and freedom of freedom from religion.
Starting point is 01:10:31 And so the school responds, they don't at first. They just say, hey, can you not do it? And he said, well, this is a personal thing for me. but sure, I'll go over here and do it more quietly. And the other teams had come and other people had started to join him. He goes to the students because he had been doing it for eight years. I went to the students to say, guys, you can't join me anymore. It's no big deal.
Starting point is 01:10:59 Don't. And he never invited them. Some of the students came to him over the eight years and said, hey, coach, can we take a knee with you? And his exact quote is, it's a free country, do what you want. but he never tried to push it or indoctrinate, et cetera, et cetera. Well, yesterday, this case went in front of the Supreme Court. And I have to tell you, the other side, I mean, this, you have to listen to it.
Starting point is 01:11:26 For the very first time in history, the world could listen to the goings-on and an argument live in front of the Supreme Court. usually there's about 40 or 50 people in there. Now it's just the justices because of COVID and the two attorneys. And because of that, they decided on this case to stream it out to everybody. And so I listened yesterday. It was crazy to listen to this. And it was so good because they would go back and forth and you weren't sure all the time which side the justice was taking because they poked holes in both of them. but the the opposing side, the ones from the Bremerton School District, they, I mean, they don't have their facts together.
Starting point is 01:12:16 And the justices said, you know, the facts seem to be in play here. You know, what exactly is true and what's not? And Joe's side has the facts buttoned down. Because there's a, I think there's an idea that, you know, an accusation that sort of bubbles under the surface that basically the coach is lying. He is, he did maybe subtly try to get these kids to go out and pray. And he did, this is what the accusation is. Oh, that's what they're saying.
Starting point is 01:12:52 I was saying, no, he didn't. He did in an accusation form basically say, you know, you were not going to get playing time if you don't join me. Like, this is the accusation. So if that were true, you. you could have an argument here. However, they can't produce one single child in the eight years he was doing this that says this occurred.
Starting point is 01:13:17 Yeah. I mean, it's not just his word. They can't come up with one kid who said it occurred. All they're saying is is that the coach has an unbelievable influence on kids. And so everything that he does, it's implied. If you don't play along, you're not going to play along. you're not going to play football or you're not going to get a good grade. Well, I would make the case for every teacher that is true.
Starting point is 01:13:45 If you are spouting all of this gobbly gook, this wokeness, you think I feel comfortable saying what my opinion is? Or do I have to go with a teacher? And we have seen the evidence of that happening in the schools and the teachers berating those kids that don't agree. We've seen that. There's nothing in this case. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:09 I mean, if I remember the story right, one of the, there was one kid who said something, somehow spoke up and said he didn't want to participate in the prayer wasn't his gig. And of course, the coach was like, yeah, that's fine. Actually made the kid the captain of the team. That's the kind of, that's the kind of evil, devilish tricks that the right seems to spend. Yeah, that's right. That's how you do it. The, the important thing about this is this is the very.
Starting point is 01:14:35 first time in our nation's history that the establishment clause coming in for teachers and employees has actually been challenged like this can you say a silent prayer can you go in as a teacher and say a blessing over your food to yourself if this doesn't come out if this if the left wins on this one, it's going to be a really bad thing. But I just don't see them winning on this. I don't think they're going to win this either. I don't have anything here.
Starting point is 01:15:16 I was talking to Kelly. He said he thinks that there's a real chance. Roe versus Wade is all just underwater now. I know. I have said for years and years and years, not my lifetime. It's not my lifetime. This is not going to happen.
Starting point is 01:15:29 As much as I wanted it to happen, I never believed it. And, you know, of course, there's a lot. It's a much more complicated thing than overturning something in the Supreme Court. It doesn't end abortion. It's going to get more radicalized in blue states. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:40 It already is. They're already forming organizations to pay for people to transport women across state lines to do this stuff. That's what we like to call the free market. Yeah, although I don't, I kind of disagree with that analysis just because of it's not free market to be able to kill children. I'm sorry. No, no, no. That's not the way. It's not.
Starting point is 01:15:59 But we're taking a step in the right direction in the. the regards of the feds don't have a place. Now, this disagree, I disagree because I think it's murder and the feds absolutely have a place in that. But yes, with what they're arguing, get it to the states again. It's closer to federalism, really, I think, but I still don't think this should be, I mean, I think it's life is liberty in the pursuit of happiness. I do believe this is a protected thing that the feds should be involved in. But that being said, all of that to the side, you're never going to stop it unless you win the argument with people over a long period of time. Like the argument against racism was won, right?
Starting point is 01:16:40 Was it? I think it was. It was. And then it was undone. Apparently, right now the left is trying to undo that victory because they want the racism apparently so badly. We want to make sure and convince, reconvince people that their skin color is the most important thing about them, which is a strange political project. But it is where we're going, seemingly. But like, you know, you look at things like interracial marriage, right?
Starting point is 01:17:05 There was a time in which 60, 70, 80% of this country believed it shouldn't be allowed. Yeah. Right. That argument was not one because of changes in law. It was one because people realized it was idiotic to think that. Right. And so you have to win the argument on abortion that way, too. There are organizations in Europe that exist right now that will send you abortion pills
Starting point is 01:17:31 anywhere in the world if abortion is illegal in your area. You're not going to just stop this by overturning a case. However, it's incredible that we're even talking about this. I mean, I did not think we'd ever see a time in which this would be... So I just want to reiterate what I just said at the very beginning of this. At the end of this summer, it may be that we are more free under religion, under the First Amendment, we may be more free than
Starting point is 01:18:01 we have been in about 80 years. That's remarkable. And I will say this too. And there's a lot of complaints on the right about how we quote unquote always lose. Oh, we are winning big. It's just not, I don't see the facts bearing that out, especially, you know, there's been a lot of beating up of originalism in the court and how it was a failed conservative project. Has it been?
Starting point is 01:18:25 Has it really been a, this is a failure? I don't know. I don't think it's a failure. So this is actually. And what's great is this is actually winning and it's coming back to the Constitution. Yeah. It's not a political thing. It's back to the Constitution, which you never know.
Starting point is 01:18:43 The Constitution cuts both ways. Sometimes you love it. Sometimes you don't. But it's going back to that. That is a huge win. This is a lasting mark. You know, we can get in and have a president, the next president, the three presidents from now can go and, and make and, you know, sign their dictates, you know, through executive order. And those are
Starting point is 01:19:08 overturned immediately. Those are either overturned by the court or they're just canceled. Day one, the next president comes in. These are lasting marks. You want to, you want to back a group of people of 501C3 that's actually making a difference. May I suggest you donate to First Liberty? They're making lasting differences. All right, inflation kicking everybody in the pants these days, you know, and it's harder and harder to save money. But with Patriot Mobile, you'll not only be able to save a buttload, but you're also going to be able to support a great company that supports you.
Starting point is 01:19:47 Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider, and that's more than just name. They actually are doing something about it. First of all, they have the same great nationwide coverage as the major carriers because they're on the same cell towers. So you have all of that. You have great service, lower prices, better customer service, in my opinion, all here in the United States. And on top of that, you know that the money that you're giving them to pay for your cell service is not going to things like abortion clinics, like Verizon. They're supporting Planned Parenthood.
Starting point is 01:20:26 Great. I don't want to support them. Patriot Mobile has plans to fit your budget. They have teams on the ground all the time fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, the sanctity of life. That's secondary, I know, but it's nice to have somebody take the money that I've worked hard for, you've worked hard for, and actually apply it to the same cause that I'm for. we've got to start doing business with people who want to do business with us.

Starting point is 01:21:23 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program coming up in just a minute in studios, Nikki Haley, a friend of the program and somebody who I think served honorably in the, in the gubernatorial position, South Carolina, and also as our United Nations secretary. She was, I can't wait to talk to her about Russia. Did you see what they were saying that now Putin is, more and more so they're saying he's incapacitated
Starting point is 01:22:09 that he is Yeah there's been some weird videos popping up Yeah and I didn't see anything weird in that video Did you? I mean, I didn't necessarily No And then yesterday Their foreign secretary
Starting point is 01:22:21 Came out and said Hey just want to let you know With you guys shipping arms over Don't be surprised If it's a nuclear war I I am assuming that we still live in the world where everybody knows there's no winners in a nuclear war. But is that even rational to assume that anymore?
Starting point is 01:22:48 How does this end? Nikki Haley joins us in a minute. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program, joining us to talk about Russia, China, inflation, the Republicans. and what we need to do to remain a country that's based on the Constitution. Nikki Haley joins me in studio next. First, let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins. It is, it's almost impossible to get people to listen to Fed Talk.
Starting point is 01:24:16 I mean, they just don't, they don't know what it is. They think it's part of the, you know, the Washington apparatus. And it is. It's just not a federal government entity in. Instead, it's an entity of the biggest banks in the country. They own the Fed. So, wait a minute. They're bailing themselves out in a way.
Starting point is 01:24:38 That's weird, isn't it? The Fed is the biggest cause of inflation, that and government spending, but that's one in the same. They are the ones that have caused a lot of the problems that we are facing right now. And good news, they're going to be the ones that come up with all the solutions. and we're going to be told, no, they're the experts. No, they're not. No, they're not.
Starting point is 01:25:02 You need to understand what the Fed is, and I've got a easy way for you to learn about it. It's the Tuttle Twins books. Now, these are made for your kids, but there is one book from the Tuttle Twins that I think is really good. In fact, I think it's so crucial for families that I've asked the Tuttle Twins to make it for free. It is the Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island.
Starting point is 01:25:24 That's the Fed. How does inflation work? what causes it, what stops it, what's the Fed, how is it created, what's happening to our free market. All in the Tuttle Twins and the creature from Jekyll Island, it's free while supplies last. You just pay for shipping. Go to Tuttle Twinsbeck.com. Tuttle twinsbeck.com Welcome to the program, Nikki Haley.
Starting point is 01:25:47 How are you? Thank you, my friend. It's great to be with you. Good to see you. Great to see you. So I want to talk to you about a couple of things. I've got a lot to run through with you. But let's start.
Starting point is 01:25:59 Let's just start with the news around the world. What the hell is happening with Ukraine? This does not feel right. It doesn't feel good. It shouldn't feel right and it shouldn't feel good. You know, this is a bigger fight than just Russia and Ukraine. This is a fight for freedom. And how we handle this matters.
Starting point is 01:26:21 You know, we saw how horrible we handled Afghanistan. We can't continue to have those blunders because when Afghanistan fell, it let every corrupt dictator around the world say, this is a weak America. We better move now while we can. And that's what we're seeing happen. Okay. So do you think we should be fighting actually in their fighting? Americans should not be in their fighting.
Starting point is 01:26:45 No. And Ukrainians haven't asked us to. But when you see a freedom-loving country trying to protect their own turf, we, we are, should give them every ounce of ammunition they need. We should be pulling in, and I'm glad to see NATO pulling in their weight, because that was hugely important. They need to be giving everything, and we all need to go and support Zelensky to win this fight on freedom. And when he wins, no other dictator will try and do this again. Okay, so I agree that we should not go in. I'm a little concerned that Joe Biden was saying, hey, we can't let anybody take these old airplanes, because
Starting point is 01:27:22 that might rope us into it. And then we're now openly saying, oh, yeah, and we're just leaving them at the bus stop there in Ukraine. I mean, what are we, what happened to where? It's foolish. Biden's running scared. He's been running scared from the beginning. If he had done sanctions before Putin moved in,
Starting point is 01:27:40 we wouldn't have seen this. President Trump had said that we would send them equipment and ammunition in March of last year when they had already started doing. Biden stopped it. We were supposed to send another group in June. of last year. Biden stopped it all because he thought it would cause Putin to react. Look at what happens when you don't stand strong. If you stand strong before a conflict, the conflict never happens. Why is Putin keep saying that we're on the edge of nuclear war? Because he has nothing
Starting point is 01:28:09 left. I mean, look. Is that a, I mean, so does that make it more believable? He doesn't, he doesn't want to die. And he, listen, but at the same time, let's not ignore him. This is a real danger. This is something that's serious. It's why Ukraine needs to win and win strong. If Putin feels like there's a window, he's going to keep going. If we can stop him where he's at, then he'll start to retreat. The key to that is, one, making sure that Ukrainians aren't begging for help, that they get the help that they need, including the planes, including the anti-air defense systems that they're constantly begging for, but also making sure we hit Putin where it hurts. He keeps. He keeps. We can't continue a war if he's got the money to fuel it. And we have to sanction the energy companies, and Biden still won't do it. Okay. So there was talk last week that after the French election, that Europe was going to say no more oil from Russia. Do you believe that?
Starting point is 01:29:11 Is that in the works? I think the U.S. needs to be pushing them that way. There is not an option for them to continue getting oil from Russia. It puts us all in danger for them to do that. Are they going to struggle? Yeah, a little bit. Can we double down and start, you know, exporting liquefied natural gas? Can we help them go and find other avenues to get it, just like Poland and Lithuania,
Starting point is 01:29:32 are getting it from Australia? Yes, we can. That's what has to happen. It's not. But they're not going to do that. This Biden administration will not release any kind of sanctions, if you will, on our own companies to go and get more liquefied natural gas to, to go. go get anything. Even for our own self, we're shipping our own strategic oil reserve to Europe.
Starting point is 01:29:59 Because Biden's scared of the climate change people. Like he's scared of the Green New Deal, you know, people that fight for that. And we're seeing it. And it's making America weak. I mean, it's a serious issue what we've got right now. But we can write the ship. That's the biggest thing. I have faith we can write the ship. And that first starts by, do we win these elections in November. But more importantly, what do we do when we win? We have to prove we deserve to be there. So when Republicans take control of the House and Senate, which I am all over the country trying to help candidates, when they take it, what do they do? You don't just say no to Biden. What do you say yes to? You say yes to making sure that we're exporting more liquefied natural gas,
Starting point is 01:30:42 that we're opening up our energy reserves. You say yes to we're going to stop all this wasteful spending. You say yes to the fact that we're going to be strong abroad by having a strong voice against terrorism and all dictators that try and threaten America or say death to America. We can start doing things. You say yes to, yes, we're going to take care of our children's education and we're not going to let all these teachers unions do it. We've got to start saying yes to a lot of things and not just say no to Biden. So how do we say yes to the end of inflation? How is this one going to be solved? because we're close to the death spiral here on inflation.
Starting point is 01:31:20 I mean, Glenn, it's so bad that the average family is spending $5,000 to $6,000 more a year. Now, when Michael and I were raising our children, if you told us we had to spend $5,000 to $6,000 more a year, do you know where we'd get it from? A credit card. And do you know what happens to families when that happens? That's the fear I have is, what about these families who are just trying to make it through today? The way you do that is, first of all, yes, we open up our energy sector and we make sure something like that works, but you stop this wasteful spending. Do you know in the last spending package, Republicans and Democrats passed 5,000 earmarks totaling $10 billion.
Starting point is 01:32:03 You want to hear what some of that was? $12 million for a baseball park in New York. $15 million for New Jersey to apply to get the World Cup. six and a half million for golf courses in Colorado. This is our Republicans and Democrats doing this, Glenn. That is not okay. You can't say and go on TV and scream that inflation is terrible and turn around and co-sponsor and earmark and open that back up.
Starting point is 01:32:28 Where were our Republicans in this? Why did they allow this to happen? We had stopped earmarks. Well, it's kind of where I am with the Republican Party in whole. I don't see, I see a few that are standing up and are fighting the good fight. but then you see people like Mitch McConnell. I mean, you know, you've got to clean out these federal agencies. Term limits, term limits, term limits.
Starting point is 01:32:55 You have to just clean them out. Well, you're not going to be able to do that if you have a president without the Congress. Congress has to do it. And you could have, you know, control of the Congress with Republicans, but do they even get it? Do you know what else Congress can do? Put controls on our border. they can fix this border crisis. Where is Congress?
Starting point is 01:33:17 That's what I'm going to keep saying is we need the fighters. We need those that understand that you have to make so much noise. The people will follow you if you do that. But you can't go on this runaway spending where our debts more than our economy. Do you know we're having to borrow money to make our interest payments? No, yeah, I know. Our kids and grandkids will never forgive us for this. We have got to write the ship.
Starting point is 01:33:40 For the good of our country, for the good of the world, for the good of the next generation. It's time for all this to stop. So what are the things that you do, you're the founder of Stand for America, and you go out and you try to promote good policies and also the right candidates? You just endorsed Sarah Palin. Why? A couple of reasons.
Starting point is 01:34:01 First of all, when I was running for governor the first time, there were five candidates. I started as the fifth out of five, had the least amount of money, the least name ID. And I got up to the second position. I was running against a lieutenant governor, a congressman, an attorney general, state senator, got up to the second position. And Sarah Palin, without telling her staff, called me the day before and said, Todd called and said, we're coming to South Carolina. We're going to endorse Nikki.
Starting point is 01:34:35 And she did a pro-life speech in the morning. She did an NRA speech in the afternoon. and she came and endorsed me in the evening and helped push me over the deep end. So first I'll tell you, my loyalty to her will always be strong. But secondly, it's because I believe in her. She had a voice that matters. Glenn, she was canceled before we ever talked about cancel culture. She was vilified by the media before we ever had all this happened.
Starting point is 01:35:03 And she was a great governor. She understood the value of a dollar. She understood what real families went through. and she and I, they called us the rock star sisterhood. We related on so many levels because the establishment denied me and the resistance didn't think I was cool enough or fit the mold for them. And Sarah went through the same thing. And, you know, we need her voice in Congress.
Starting point is 01:35:29 I would love to see her walking the halls of Congress and reminding them of what the Tea Party was all about and how taxed enough already is happening again. I would love for her to talk about what energy opening up our energy, energy policies and really doing that. She's the right person. I'd love to have her back. Where is she?
Starting point is 01:35:46 She in Arizona? Where is she? Sarah? Yeah. She's in Alaska. She's back in Alaska? She's in Alaska. All right. So who is the candidate that you have seen that went that you've said, oh my gosh, this is a new breed?
Starting point is 01:36:01 You know, I think there's been a few. In the last cycle, it was the Victoria Sparks. It was the, it was the Nicole Malayatakis. It was the Nancy Mace. There were a lot of just fighters, just had good fighters about them. Now we're seeing different ones in terms of like Morgan LaTrell in Texas, Wesley Hunt in Texas. Like those were fantastic. Tony Gonzalez in Texas.
Starting point is 01:36:25 We just did him as well. Monica Dela Cruz, we're looking at her hard. There's some really good ones here in Texas, but around the country, we're seeing some really great ones. And so I just endorsed, or Tiffany Smiley in Washington, St. You know, a lot of people are throwing Washington State away. If anybody can win in Washington State, it's Tiffany Smiley. And so we're not just going after the easy races. We're going after the ones that can really be difficult.
Starting point is 01:36:53 It's why we endorse Jack Chedorelli in New Jersey for governor. He lost by one percentage point. We almost had it. It's why we endorse Glenn Yonkin in Virginia. It's because we know when we get in there, you've got to push these people over the finish line like Sarah Palin push me. Because when you see those fighters, when you're... when you see those people that can really move the ball,
Starting point is 01:37:13 that you know they're not just going to bring good policy, but they're going to bring good fight, and they're not going to be afraid to stand up to the establishment. Those are the people we want. Well, nice thing. Elon Musk. Yes. When we come back, give me one minute.
Starting point is 01:37:28 As inflation soars to record highs, every item is costing you more. Nikki was just talking about credit cards. This is what people do when they get behind the ape, all to put money on credit cards. And the reason why this is so bad is because inflation is going up and interest rates are going to go up. Even if the Fed doesn't raise them, the banks will because it will become more and more risky because everybody is maxed out on their credit cards. You're paying the average now is about 19%.
Starting point is 01:38:00 19%. Can you imagine that goes up to 25%, 28%, and it will happen. please call American financing right now. See if you can get in and lock in a lower interest rate and do a consolidation loan to get those credit cards off of your back. Do it now. American financing.

So I'm sure I disagree with Elon Musk on a lot of stuff.
Starting point is 01:38:56 I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. And because he, A, he's Tony Stark. I mean, he's just, he doesn't care. But the other thing is, is he has a vision of where things are going. You listen to him and then you listen to anybody on television, anybody in Congress or in the White House. And there's no vision there. What do you think about him taking over Twitter? I love it. It's a win for freedom.
Starting point is 01:39:23 It's an absolute win for freedom of speech. But what I love is Elon Musk is not afraid to rattle the cage. Now, maybe when you have that much money, you can rattle all the cages you want. I'm grateful for him. And now my question is, who's next? Let's keep going. He kind of said that yesterday. Didn't he still?
Starting point is 01:39:40 Yeah. And you know what? There's Facebook. There's Instagram. There's the big media that we need to go and rattle those cages. Let's do it. And Elon Musk has been the start. Let's not let that be the end.
Starting point is 01:39:53 Yeah, I don't think it will be. You know, I was thinking about this morning. We're at the end of that cycle, that pendulum cycle. And I think 2024, the pendulum starts to swing back to individual liberty. So we're almost there. Oh, we just have to make it. Yes. For like 2030, we just have to make it.
Starting point is 01:40:11 And things will swing back and be good. Let me ask you a question about education. Because we've seen over the past couple of years, COVID, COVID, I think presented with all of its horrible negatives, a unique opportunity for conservatives to communicate what they believe is right when it comes to education in a proactive sense, right? People saw what was going on. They were forced to watch the Zoom classes and saw all the crazy stuff that was being taught. And also that the schools wouldn't open up. A lot of conservatives responded to that by saying, we got to open these schools up. And of course, that was the right
Starting point is 01:40:42 argument. But isn't there more that we can do here? Isn't this a unique opportunity to talk about school choice and freedom for kids. Abolish the Department of Ed. Abolish the Department of Ed. You know, but it goes before that, right? So look at pre-COVID. 65% of fourth graders were not proficient in reading. Pre-COVID, 66% of eighth graders were not proficient in reading or math. Think about that. Incredible. We had a problem before COVID, so don't let them say that COVID brought this on. No, no. We already had a problem with the establishment in education before. So now you go and you look at the fact that in rural South Carolina, where I was born and raised, COVID hits.
Starting point is 01:41:25 Think of a child where both parents had to work. Here is this kid using a screen he's never used before. Used by way of a hotspot on a school bus down the street. Now think he's in third grade. What's he learning? Reading, fractions, science. Do you think the teachers unions are going to tell his parents to hold him back? They're not.
Starting point is 01:41:49 So what happened after two years of lost education when we were already behind in math and reading? Who is going to stand up for these kids? And then you take it a step further that those kids in rural South Carolina, when all the wealthy families got to put their kids in private schools, where did the rest of the kids go? that's my issue is one let's go back and fix what was already broken you've got some kids don't push them through to the next grade don't push them through later if a child can't read by third grade they're four times less likely to graduate high school then we need to open up school choice we need to open up charter schools and we need to go put the blame where it belongs which is on the teachers unions and the democrats that wanted COVID money more than they wanted to teach our kids
Starting point is 01:42:38 and we have to hold them accountable so i've been saying lately if you're You're a teacher. You can be a great teacher. But if you're a member of the teacher's union, I'm sorry. You're part of the problem. You don't have to be a member of that union. Stop. It's exactly right.
Starting point is 01:42:53 Your voice will be loud enough without the union. The union is just making money off of you. The union in California basically made sure that they opened schools for one day just to get the COVID money. One day. What did that do for a child? Nothing, but it got them the money they wanted. we've got to start telling teachers we want to empower you but the unions aren't going to be the way to do that the people are going to be the way to do that would you be for abolishing the Department of Education I think it's completely messed up we need to bring it down and start it back over and the way we start it back over is give the state's control give the states control over because they already have that you don't need them to I don't need an office in Washington DC no let me tell you as governor we did education reform every governor in the country could make an impact because you know Because what the Department of Education does is says, if you take this money, if you teach this
Starting point is 01:43:45 class, we'll give you this much money. If you teach critical race theory, we'll give you this much money. If you teach this, we'll give you this much money. States right now are teaching to the money. They're not teaching to the children. States need to control education. We don't need it controlled from D.C. Because one size does not fit all.
Starting point is 01:44:01 Right. And the way to do that is to abolish the Department of Head. No strings. Nobody's answering the phone in Washington, D.C. It's bloated. It's bureaucratic and it's lost sight of children. Always good to see you. Nikki Haley, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, former South Carolina governor and founder of Stand for America,

You know, yesterday, I was at home. I listened to the Supreme Court, the case for coach Joe Kennedy. Go back and listen to that. I think you can find it. It might still be there at firstliberty.org or YouTube. I'm not sure. But it was fascinating to hear this case. And the guy who is arguing for the, you know, for the school district just sounds like a weasel.
Starting point is 01:46:30 Just told, I mean, I don't know what he looks like. I'm not saying he is a weasel, but if you were casting for a weasel in a radio play, he'd be the guy you would cast. It's unbelievable. Anyway, so yesterday I had a lot of time on my hands, of course, because I was sick. And I did something I haven't done probably in about, I don't know, five years. I went to the Huffington Post. I don't know why, but I,
Starting point is 01:47:00 did. Now, I was doing show prep and I was, you know, I tried to read everything. That doesn't include the Huffington Post. But I try to read a little bit of everything. And I was reading about inflation. I was reading about the economy. I was reading about, have you seen the ship, the shipyards in, Shanghai? How much that is backed up? Oh, yeah. It's incredible. I mean, that is. It's a jaw-dropping to look at it. You see the graphics of the ships. It's. you know, jaw dropping. Thousands of ships are just sitting out there waiting to get in.
Starting point is 01:47:35 And, you know, this is only going to affect the entire world. Yeah, everything. People just don't have any idea. Then, you know, started looking at food and food prices and the shortages over seas, you know, nuclear war yesterday. The foreign minister of Russia said, don't take nuclear war off table. It's always on table. It could happen. You're like, whoa.
Starting point is 01:47:56 So I go over to the Huffington Post. I'm not kidding you. I would say 90% of what was on their front page was about January 6th and Donald Trump. And it's like, 90. Wow. Oh, it was story after story after story after story. And I'm like, what world are you guys living in? So 90% you're commenting that you can't believe how low that was.
Starting point is 01:48:18 Yeah. I mean, it's like, it's insanity. Yeah, it's interesting to see how this is developed too in that a lot of this is fueled by the text messages sent to Mark Meadows. the chief of staff of the president on and around January 6th. But what did he say that they had a problem with? Yeah. I mean, all the texts seem to be people saying that this is a problem. This is a problem.
Starting point is 01:48:43 Like, it was really bad. And like, I can't believe this is happening. And we should, the president needs to record a message and speak and stop it immediately. And it's all the things that you would think the left would want Republicans to be saying behind the scenes. And now, or another, it's bad.
Starting point is 01:48:59 Yeah, and I guess, and like they seem to be complaining it with this idea that, okay, they knew. Republicans knew this was really bad, but now they're saying it's not. Hold on just a second. Everybody in America except for Vlad, the spy that's currently running, you know, our teachers' unions from Russia, everybody knew this was bad. Yeah. Everybody. It was bad. It was bad.
Starting point is 01:49:25 Now, the idea is now they're trying to say, well, behind the scenes, they knew it was bad, but then in public they've down, they quote unquote, downplayed it. Really? And this is-we didn't. I don't know anybody that did. I have not downplayed it at all. I completely, to this moment, believe it was a really ugly moment in American history and a really bad ride. And something we should all say was bad.
Starting point is 01:49:47 Yep. That being said, what the pushback has been against January 6 has been number one, the left has tried to include everyone who thinks taxes should be lower as part of it. Right? If you think taxes should only be 35%, you basically arranged the riot. If you don't think that all white people should be burned at the stake, you're a terrorist. Right. So they've tried to lump everybody, including the Washington Post today, who went after you
Starting point is 01:50:15 and tried to include you as one of the people basically organizing the January 6th riots. It was crazy. Which is insane. you are on the air on January 5th telling people not to go. And they have you as a main contributor to the riots in the Washington Post. It was my rhetoric that caused things like that. I'm like, I was against it. You literally told people not to go the day before the rally when it was just a rally.
Starting point is 01:50:44 I completely forgot. And your concern was that it could spiral out of control. Yes. So it completely ridiculous. So they've tried to lump everybody in. And then in addition to that, they've tried to turn January 6th into the worst thing that has ever occurred in the history of the world. It's as bad as the civil war. It's as bad as slavery.
Starting point is 01:51:06 It's as bad as the Holocaust. I don't know what they're saying today. The only thing that it competes with is global warming. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. I mean, even that apparently is in doubt. You know, and it's funny because this is something that I thought was interesting from the beginning. At no point, and I thought it was really bad.
Starting point is 01:51:24 I've said this on the air. I thought it was a national disgrace, and I do not hold back on that description. I am going to go a step further. I think, and I said this at the time, I was really angry at the president. Where are you, man? I was, I don't even know if we were together, but wherever I was, I was screaming at the television. What are you doing? You get the statements out there faster.
Starting point is 01:51:45 Get out there. Say this is stop. And then when he did, it was like, hey, you know, you're good people. No, stop. Get the hell out of that bill. Right. Right. And, you know, look, there's, there is plenty of room for criticism of a lot of people around that date.
Starting point is 01:52:01 So, Nancy Pelosi being one of them. Plenty of people, I think. So you look at that whole situation and you say, all right, well, it was a riot. It was really bad. I think it was a national disgrace. The word insurrection, though, has been, this was not a serious insurrection attempt. I don't think it's possible to look at it in those terms and say, Okay, that rally, you could, I think you can look at other things surrounding that and be really critical of them.
Starting point is 01:52:28 But the riot itself was a bunch of people who were at a rally and did, and there were some people there, I think, that thought of it that way. But the vast majority of people did not think of it that way. And there was never a chance that our government was overthrown. That was never a possibility of this riot. It was a bad event. There was never a chance. And I kept saying to myself, they keep sticking to this word insurrection. so closely, you cannot move from it at all.
Starting point is 01:52:55 I would call it a riot. You want to call it the Qadon riots? Go ahead. But you're going to call it an insurrection. I don't think anyone can say that as a serious insurrection attempt. And I thought to myself, why? Why do they keep coming back to this word? Why don't they just say what it was?
Starting point is 01:53:12 Why do they keep going down this road? And I think you're seeing the reality here as you look at what they're trying to do first as a test right now with Marjorie Taylor Green in Georgia in the Constitution. If you are involved in any way in an insurrection attempt, you cannot run for office. And guess what? The target long term is not Marjorie Taylor Green. The target very clearly is Donald Trump. And if somehow they pull this off with Marjorie Taylor Green, which I don't think they
Starting point is 01:53:41 have any legal standing to get, I don't think it's even close to reality what they're trying to do and get her thrown off the ballot in Georgia. but if it works there, and honestly, even if it doesn't work there, they will use whatever information they can garner to utilize it in a case because if Donald Trump announces he's going to run for president, they're going to try to get him constitutionally removed from the ballot. They're going to try to prevent him to running. I don't have any information on this, but that is what I believe they are going to try to do.
Starting point is 01:54:13 Okay, let's just say they accomplish that. I don't think there's a chance that happens. No, I don't think so either. They'll try it. I think they will try it. Right. But let's just say that, you know, pigs can fly and men can have babies. And all of a sudden, they pull that one off.
Starting point is 01:54:29 I have terrible news for you. Well, I'll update you in a minute. So let's just say that happens. Yeah. Do you know what that would do to the base of Donald Trump? Because you'd have Ron DeSantis. And the people who support Trump would also support Ron DeSantis. and you don't think Ron DeSantis could ride that wave?
Starting point is 01:54:52 Oh my gosh. I mean, they're crazy. The election consequences are one thing. I can't even imagine what that would do to our institutions to the foundations of this country. It would be an obvious attempt to destroy any faith people had in our system of government. Yeah. I mean, it's that, it's that dire. They will try it.
Starting point is 01:55:11 I think that's going to happen, though, this summer. I really do. I think they're going to start taking on the Supreme Court. summer because there's going to be a few decisions that are coming out that they are not going to like and they are serious about packing the court okay they really want it oh they really want it and that is the that's the last nail in the coffin once you lose the supreme court and i mean through court packing not because you know it's five to three one way or another but because you've packed the court once you pack the court you're done as a nation that is the death now of every nation that has ever done it. You're done, okay? You don't go back from there. So they're going to try to do that.
Starting point is 01:55:55 And then let me tell you, Stu, I just can't see a way to where the Republicans win the House and maybe a seat in the Senate. And the left doesn't go crazy. that the left doesn't say, you know, this was fraudulent, everything that they've said. They'll say the electionist. I mean, they say it every time anyway. There was just a poll out. Most Democrats believe that Hillary Clinton won in 2016. Okay. They're saying that we don't believe it. They're still saying that about Hillary Clinton. And they're certainly still saying it about George W. Bush in 2000. I mean, so they're going to say it. But I think that they are so keyed up.
Starting point is 01:56:42 And with the stuff that's happening with the Supreme Court, they're just going to say, it's over. These guys are crazy. They're coming for you. They're going to kill the women and children. Did you see what MSNBC said about the Twitter takeover? That are women and girls will no longer be safe. I mean, you're putting too much of your life onto a social network as this is what you believe.
Starting point is 01:57:11 And I don't know if they, this is what they say about everything. Every time there is any. Romney, who we don't like. Romney was some grave, you know, horrible conservative that was just going to out conservative, all conservatives. Yeah. Every president is worse than the last one when it comes to the Republicans. Every nominee is worse than the last one when it comes to Republicans. And can I tell you, many times that is true.
Starting point is 01:57:37 Well, from my point of view. In a different way. But they're saying now already, Ronda Santos is actually more. dangerous than Donald Trump. They're already saying it. Yeah. He hasn't even announced he's running yet and they're already saying it. So this is going to happen. But let me give you this little picture. Because if they don't go crazy now. Yeah. Let me give you a scenario of what happens for 2024. In 2022, there is. Wait, let me take a break. So I don't want to cut you off. Take a quick break. We'll come back.
Starting point is 01:58:03 This is a really, I think this, you shared this earlier with me. This is a really good theory. Back in just a second. Stand by. Goldline is the premier. Precious metals provider in America. I have done business with them for over 20 years. In fact, I was doing business with them before they started to be a client of mine. I was a client of theirs. I did my homework. Lots of clients who have already purchased gold call back to add to their portfolios by getting some silver or some extra gold. I have done it myself. There is the new Ben Franklin silver rounds that I have designed. They sold out. There's a new supply. now that has just been minted.
Starting point is 01:58:44 If you don't have them, it is, they're really cool. Solid silver. It's an ounce of silver. Ben Franklin, it's a, it's a round because legally I can't call it a coin, you know, but it's a full ounce of silver and it is
Starting point is 01:58:59 made to look like if Ben Franklin would have been a president, he wanted a seal that's very different. And his seal for the United States is on the back of this coin. A hint, It's Moses at the Red Sea with Pharaoh getting collapsed, having the water collapse on him. It's a great way to invest in silver, have silver.
Starting point is 01:59:24 You can call them and find out when those silver rounds for Ben Franklin are going to be back. They also have really great stuff in gold. They will have the Ben Franklin also in gold. Just check them out. Goldline, 866 Goldline, 866 Goldline, or goldline. Stay informed. Sign up for the free newsletter today at glenbeck.com. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 02:00:08 So let me walk you through this real quick. If you go into the 2022 Senate elections, you have a situation where the momentum of the climate of this election is pro-Republican. Correct. It's a midterm election for a president that is in very poor standing right now. So the Republicans should do well. However, the structure of the Senate election is actually tilted toward Democrats, which means the strong Democratic areas, right?
Starting point is 02:00:37 The states that are producing those strong Democrat senators. Yeah. Those are the ones that are up for grabs. Yeah, in large part. Yeah. So if you go into this right now, the way we've looked at it, these are a lot of generalities, a lot of things have not played out yet. But we have it at 49, 46 for Republicans with five toss-ups, just a generality. Now, Republicans would have to win two of those five to control.
Starting point is 02:00:58 control the Senate. However, very possible that they sweep those five. It's not impossible at all that they would get to maybe 54 or maybe even 55 somewhere in that general vicinity. That's going to drive them nuts. That's going to drive them nuts, but let me drive them even more nuts. 2024 comes up. Republicans, if they are doing well and don't blow it in those two years, will have a house that they probably already control. If this goes well in the Senate, this election, they would be at, say, 54, 55 seats. The next election, has a situation where the map tilts back to Republicans. So Republicans are going to have a lot of gain opportunities here to increase.
Starting point is 02:01:41 You could very easily see a situation in which, whatever, Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump or whoever it is, comes in to the presidency in 2024, beating up on someone like Joe Biden, getting into the presidency with a filibus. proof majority. 60. It's not impossible. It would have, things would have to go right. But we've never seen anything like this
Starting point is 02:02:07 in our lifetime, really. No, it's FDR. It was the last time I think they had a filibuster proof. I mean, the Democrats had it with Obama in 2009 with 60 seats when they tried to pass Obama care and then lost it.
Starting point is 02:02:18 Right? When Scott Brown wound up winning that election in Massachusetts. But the Republicans never sniff this stuff. And if it goes well, if you get the right candidates in the right states and selecting in these primaries is going to be really important. Candidates in purple states that are acceptable to purple state audiences in 2022 are going to be important.
Starting point is 02:02:41 But if you can win those races and keep good Republicans, people like Mike Lee in as well, you could see something like a filibuster-proof majority behind Ronda Santos. You would also need to have the Republicans not screw it up. Not screw it up. and actually stand for something. Okay, with that said, we'll see you tomorrow, you sick, twisted freak.
