You can confine Your pair at to Cove is dot com, slash back, that's t e c, o v, a s dot com, slash back to Kobus western wear for your frontier, ok for anybody who hasn't been paying attention. I want to explain the chinese social credit system

it's two thousand and fourteen in China. The social credit system is, it has and implemented and is evolving into single nationwide point system for all need citizens, and it is akin to a financial credit score. Follows you everywhere. There is no place to hide from the cameras it is evolve now into you have to have a certain app on your phone and they You you every day you take you, take this app, you open it up, and you have to kind of take a test about what the great leader is doing today and he you know it gives you all the new, so what the great leader is doing and what the communists are doing. That is so good for you. Then you have to take a test. If you don't open that

app everyday. Your social credit goes down if you're not taking that test. Your social credit goes down. They track you and feed you everything that they want to feed you and you must consume it if you jaywalk across the street, your social credit goes down. If you are, if you speak ill about the country, Your social credit goes down. If you are talking to someone who has a low social credit score, your social credit goes down. It is, it is horrible what is happening in China. It is becoming a true police state, orwellian one thousand nine hundred and eighty four and it to punish for any kind of transgression that can include MEM. Chip in or support for the following gong or the or Tibetan Buddhism. If you haven't paid your day, if you have excessive

video gaming, Chris is in government late payments failing to sweep the sidewalk in front of your store, how smoking or playing loud music on trains jaywalking anything that is unacceptable by the chinese government. Two awards points for charitable donations, even taking ones own parents to the doctor, and the punishments are harsh There are bands on leaving the country bands on using public transportation. So another words, sorry, all of a sudden you get to the bus and your phone says offender, not enough social credit. You have to walk you're, not taking a bus that you can't check a certain hotels. You will media tly not be hired for any high visibility job. If you have spoken out against the government, you have posted something that shouldn't have been posted. You

children will be pulled out of the private school. Ann may not even make it into a public school. It can resume in slower internet connections and also a social stigmatization, because you, you are now registered on a public social blacklist. Your base actually goes up on billboards, electronic billboards in your neighborhood. Anyone who interacts with you their social credit goes down. They brag that they can keep people locked in their house just because they won't. They won't be able to go anywhere. It is authoritarianism gamified? Now I've told you for awhile. If Google and Silicon Valley is helping them do these things, what makes you think that

It won't do the same here. Well, they are, there are now forty or so pilot projects operated by low governments, at least six run by tech giants. Beijing is is doing this. China is doing this. They have to nationwide lists one called the black list. The other one is the red list, that's kind of like a a white list. Here. The chinese government shares its list with all technology platforms, they they give you every month of social credit and that social credit is due. Sermons the rest of your life. Now some These people are unaware that this even exists at this point, because they haven't gotten it all to the entire country, but their goal is China, two thousand and twenty to have the entire country on this survey.

It's done by the government showed that eighty percent of the chinese citizens that are surveyed strong approve of the social credit system. Of course they do. You're tracking them now, if you are disturbed by any of this, let me tell what's going on now: in America, the New York State Department of Financial services announced earlier this year that life insurer companies can base premiums on what they find in your social media posts. If you have an inch picture showing you teasing a grizzly bear at Yellowstone with a martini and a hand in a bucket of cheese fries in the other you're going to pay higher rate. However, if you are doing yoga you're going to pay a lower rate, anything thing that shows you're healthy and wise you're going to get the lower rate.

Anything that shows you that you are doing anything at all dangerous. I get a higher rate now that seems kind of reasonable. It's like well, you know I have. I have insurance on me. I can't go to a war zone. I can't fly a plane. I can't go cliff. You know climbing all this stuff, never going to do I'm fine with they were like. You can't do these things anymore. I'm like does that include, jumping out of it really good airplane with parachute and they're like yeah, and I'm like good check that one off my list. So you don't have a problem with it per se, unless you do those things, if you or somebody that is into adventure sports, you better tell the truth: you're going to pay a very high penalty, now, there's also something called Patreon Scan, so the insurance companies are kind of like well. I think that's probably ok,

that you don't smoke and then you're seen smoking on Facebook. It's probably ok, but now we patron scan. This honey sells three products, kiosk desktop and handheld systems, and what it is it's designed to help bar and restaurant owners manage customers scan, is a subsidiary of the canadian software Company, a biometric company. It's now on sale in the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom, and it helps spot fake idea ids, but it also tracks troublemaker. So when you arrive at let's say a patron scan using bar what they do is they ask you for id they scan it. The company contains a list of objectionable customers

designed to protect venues from peoples who have previously had a problem in any bar: fighting sexual salt, drugs theft or any other bad behavior, but the bad behavior. That list is up to each restaurant. So if you go into some restaurant with a mag hacked, can you be put on this scan now? If you are banned in one bar, you will be banned in all bars that use this system and that's Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom. No matter where you go, you are known as someone who can't go into the bar now, the kind of behavior all up to the individual bar the owners. Each bar can ignore the bands if they want the data of

non offending customers is deleted in ninety days. So even if you're not doing something wrong, still holding all your information for ninety days, the they keep a private list that are not shared with other bars if they want. But if you are a bad customer, it can be kept for five years. They do have an appeals process, but it's up to the company, whether they listen to it or not, uber and airbnb we all know that when you get into an uber, if the driver has written something bad about you, you're, probably not in to get into another uber. If you have somebody who who didn't like you can say whatever you're, going to not be able to use uber airbnb, he is now the same, and that is a private

list. So if you are in a an airbnb and think about how big Airbnb is now, if you're in an Airbnb and the owner, didn't like something or said, you did something. Even if you didn't do it, they can blurred Airbnb it's kept confidential. You have no right to see what your accuser is telling you and you are banned from all Airbnb Wats APP, also developing for communications new, so little credit score. For example, you can be, and on Whatsapp, if too many other users block you, you can also get banned for sale for sending spam, threatening messages, trying to hack or reverse engineer the Whatsapp APP or using the service with an unauthorized. App now

This is small potatoes in the United States, but not for the rest of the world, because in many parts of the world this is the main form of communication, not in allowed to use whatsapp in some countries is like not being able to use a telephone in America. Now here's the problem, but he likes antisocial, violent, rude, unhealthy, reckless people. We got it. So, what's wrong with this technology. As I have said before, what is now being built completely changes our system. We have always had protections of the first and second amendment. We've had protections of privacy supposedly under the constitution, we don't

First, amendment freedom of speech, Nope Freedom of Assembly, nope freedom of of of assembly, with people that you choose nope, not protected freedom of religion, no they've, they're banning christian ads now, just because they're christian that doesn't sound like a good thing. Man that it's protected by the constitution, not really a second amendment nope, anybody can say no no guns here, and they don't have to do anything about it. They can pressure bank. Now to say, don't do business with the gun manufacturers. Gun businesses or people who have a gun. Don't do business with them. We're going to cancel their there

Anschel services totally fine, because it's a private company. Don't quarter soldiers in the house? Well, the NSA is already doing it, but so is so is Google, so is Amazon there? Listening to your conversation, there is no such thing as privacy, anymore. And no law can stop these things b. Is there private companies they can do ever they want inch? I know they're doing it by force because the guy China is going this way just is Orwell predicted in nineteen. Eighty four, but just as brave new world predicted. Oxley said it would come with a big happy face on it, it would come through service and- and it would be great and you'd- want this service both of those. I remember a time within the last ten years. People were saying: oh

Huxley was right or well was wrong. No, they were both right, one. One thousand nine hundred and eighty four fits. The e Huxley applies to us in the west, all right so what's easy to get into but hard to get out of which a lot of sports cars, but that's not easy. That's not what the answer is: credit card debt with the average interest rate at eighteen percent, it's going to eat up all of your savings and you're going to have a hard time paying this off. Now, if you're a homeowner, I ha really recommend that you consolidate all of your high interest debt into a mortgage that has an interest rate of four percent.

Could save you hundreds of dollars a month, even thousands or more the people? I trust is american financing. They do not work for the. I think they also don't have to reset your loan. So you know I got here's in your mortgage. Your done ten years, you did a one thousand five hundred and twenty or thirty year loan. I want to go back to a thirty year loan. You don't have to american financing will find the thing that fits. You fits your budget and and, and it is not putting you at risk- please please consider refinancing right now. Get rid of your high credit card interest rates, make sure you're in an no more adjustable mortgages. Make sure that you're in a locked mortgage, if it It's down another point and a half two points great refinance again it'll be worth it. Then it's uh.

Also coming up in about fifteen minutes, we have the people that are arguing in front of the Supreme Court today about Prager being banned from or or shadowbanned on,

Google. This is a really important Supreme Court case- will talk to him just before he goes into the courtroom here in a few minutes to argue the case in front of the Supreme Court. So Yesterday we talked a little bit about 5g and John Bolt, who is one of my favorite employees and just love working with him. He he is the guy who reads most of the email. Then, and he hates it. When I talk about how much I hate cats, because all of the cat lovers right in and he's like clan, you just wrecked my day, so I apologize, but I do really hate cats. He said the only thing that has come close to rivaling. It is what I said yesterday about five G5g there is no evidence that 5g causes cancer. None zero zip,

It is most likely. I believe it's just as likely, if not more likely. This is a rumor that was started by China or Russia to shake Americans off the track. You have to. Understand if, if it, if we don't do 5g, if we fall behind, things are going to change dramatically if we lose our superpower status, almost overnight, Silicon Valley will collapse on itself, invention american ingenuity gone because it will. If you miss this train, it will be like being in the second grade and in a year everyone else that was with you in the second grade is now in the 12th grade and

you're, not even sure that you were going to be able to make it to the third grade. It is really really a huge deal. And then we can get into more of that, probably on tomorrow's show. But what I do want to say is I did some more research and yesterday told you it doesn't cause cancer. I want you to know, that I was wrong doing more research. I found that it does cause cancer, but only in the heads of cats, and so I urge you now even more strongly to make sure or that we all have 5g, because you'll have high speed internet ancap cancer and if you disagree, make sure you're right in because John loves loves these emails. So, and- and I you know, I think it's fair- that 5g would kill

Glenn we're surfing a very high speed internet three in me, I have a a friend whose family has this legend they're, all from Kansas, originally supposedly a few generations back in the family tree and number of the more train robbers and my friend it up to family legend. Until recently he ordered the 23andme kit. Well it ended up matching him to some real relatives that he had never met and he discovered that the Legend was real, now I don't know why you would want to be related.

You can do about it right now to I know who you are, what you need to to be aware of with your health go to three and me dot com, slash back, that's 23andme, com, slash back and find who you really are Christmas stories with Glenn Beck available at Glenn, Beck, dot com, all the tickets December seventh in SALT Lake City cats are not welcome. Welcome to the program fellow blaze, co worker, Eric Bolling, who is heard blaze, yeah! We knew we had minimum wage and they raise the minimum wage at gland. Not they haven't told me that I'm not I'm a I'm a on way from making fifteen dollars an hour and that's why I'm voting for Bernie Sanders.

You met yesterday with the vice president. Tell me about it. So uhm yeah real interesting there's a faith and freedom conference uh. I guess a fundraiser that Jeff Duncan was putting on in South Carolina and I get the opportunity to do want to. You are a little exclusive one on one with the vice president said absolutely I drove I live in Charleston Central Object, Green Bell and I got a few. I got like twelve minutes with the West one on one exclusive: it was fantastic 'cause, I'm driving up there and I'm thinking there's so much going on right now, there's so much going on in Trumpworld. Do I do this? How how how much you know is you know, Glenn you get someone that you've who's doing kind of it's reaching out you doing your favorite doing it at one hundred and one exclusive. How hard you press the gas? I said you know what there's too much happy

now I gotta go full throttle. I did ask them the important stuff. I asked him: what's what's this stuff with Nikki Haley, You know the master tweeting that calm down. Everyone were good friends with the vice president. I said yes and point. Blank is Nikki Haley vying to be the vice president in twenty twenty you know, and then I said, has the president. I told you you are his running mate in two thousand and twenty I mean the questions. I think she was expecting me that, but I I I will tell you this site, because I floated to the theory among friends at the White House. Anne I've said you know. I have nothing against MIKE Pence. I really like MIKE Pence- and I think MIKE Pence was a one of the reasons why Donald Trump was elected because he was able to galvanize the religious right and and make people feel comfortable with with Donald Trump. However,

I think having Nikki Haley on the ticket with Donald Trump, with no offense to MIKE Pence, I think, would be very advantageous for the president this time around yeah. I agree. I think he he couldn't lose with either one I, you're, probably right that maybe you know you check another box with with Nikki Haley the you know trump. You know, let's be honest, he's I believe, he's going to win with a wider margin than last time, but a lot it's going to come down to the suburbs, and you know the female vote and Nikki Haley certainly firm up that. But I did you either way, but I think it's easier ride with with for the female vice president? I know that I I mean I know when you have twelve minutes. You probably have four questions, maybe if the person wants to wants to talk did you get into the economy at all in the trade war is? Are they do you get the sense that they are very well aware that if the

I mean turns this Presley going to have a real uphill battle. So so, yes, and that's why I started early because you know like they had said at the time the president is flying back from the g7, and I said that we were in the midst of a trade war with China. We've had conflicting comments coming out, one from the present one from Stephanie Grisham's comms director another one from the president. Again, I said, look are we? Are we prepared? The president said he's prepared to continue to raise tariffs on China Infineum? If they don't, if they don't relented and play ball, he says we are and they said well, I should you know in all honesty, Mister Vice president, I'm I'm against Paris and I love the lot things that you guys are doing. But Paris is not one of the things I like I said, but it seems to be working. I said is this: is this President Trump's idea or is it Steve Mnuchin talking? It is here with Larry Kudlow and the other. Here you know playing hardball. China was just coming from the president. He said

he laughed. He said. Eric's, you know, and I've known the president for fifteen years, as you know the president for a long time he has a lot of smart people around, but he everything he does is comes directly from the president, so he did he waiting on that he's ready to play Hardball China, but I also said well in that case. Can I ask you this: what's this idea about nuking hurricanes Eddie. He laughed again. He said all you know that that that that didn't happen alright. So when is this interview air we're going to put it up live tonight? They tell me it's going to be a program seven pm on the on the blades platform, like usual you're, my show usually comes out around seven pm, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, so that will come out tonight.

It'll be download around seven hundred pm subscribe to the blaze now thanks Eric we're going to go to the steps of the Supreme Court in just about four minutes standby. For that there's a huge case going into oral arguments today about Google and and they ban an shadow ban things like Prager University. Now, maybe you didn't notice that girl from accounting looking at you until a few days ago, but do now you know the one I mean she's got the long lashes in the dark brown eyes. You been so comfortable in your ex chair that all you could focus on lately was work.

I can see it in your eyes now. You're smitten, my friend, but I have both good and bad news for you, good news. Is she likes you a lot. Bad news. Is it's not really you it's your ex chair. She she likes next share a lot. She see your posture is supported by the Ex chairs, dynamic, variable, lumbar support system, and she wants to be every bit as ergonomic Centered, as you are so keep your head on a swivel, my friend or better, yet it's time for an additional x chair in the office, here on sale now at one hundred dollars off just go to xchairback dot com. That's x, chair Beck, dot, com or call eighteen thousand. Four hundred and forty four x, chair x, chair Beck dot com Go there now use the promo code x, wheels and you're going to get us free set of the new x wheels with your chair. That's x, chair Beck, DOT, com,

is the Glenn Beck program. We go to a Craig's for who is the CMO with Prager University Prager has been going through trouble with Google. They are they starting their lawsuit against Google to date, night circuit court. I thought it was a supreme court, but it's not there. Yet it's night circuit Court, which is like raise the court room, welcome Craig. How are you. I'm great thank you Glenn. Thank you for having me sure, well as you're getting ready to go in an present. The oral arguments tell me tell the listeners first, exactly what you are fighting. Yes,

Google and you too bad. You know they are a giant corporation. That has a lot of power and control, and you can control what people see and so over the past few years. The problem is, we continue to get worse and there are now over two hundred Gregory. Those that are being restricted and get this client five of the videos that Dennis Prager does on the ten commandments are being restricted, so they don't even hide their bias at this point, it's it's really unfortunate, so So our case is really centered around this argument about a public forum. The distinction between the public form and a publisher, and so a public forum which could be a physical location or it could be a website, is a place where the business invite someone to come on. Excuse me, sorry that business invites the public to come and use their platform for speech. So Youtube says anyone can come on here and give us their opinion, but then they turn around and censor us for their political viewpoints. So that's the basis of our.

What do you think the odds are of winning, because this this doesn't just affect you that affects really anybody who is being a shadow band, and it is, in my opinion, critical that you win this. If you lose this and I'm guessing, you will, in the night Circuit Court of Appeals, because they're in sane, but if you do lose this, this is a very bad blow to freedom of speech. These corporations will have no restrictions on on any of their behavior. No that's right. That's exactly right in the ninth circuit is crazy, and and if we lose it, we're in big trouble, it's getting more and more scary, and if they have the power to control, what people see just restrict content that they disagree with. Then this is. This is really scary and most of America doesn't even know this is going on 'cause. The mainstream media is completely ignored. This issue. Well, there

we're doing things like, for instance, they are banning Prager University. As you said, two hundred different videos Dennis is the best voice. On the ten commandments, I mean his books on books on the old testament in his his his videos on ten commandments, there's just nobody even close to him, there's nothing! That is, you know, political person that is going on with that. This is just a anti religious bias that they have yeah. Exactly I mean it clearly shows. They're targeting us for our identity and I'm sure Sinners may be aware that project vera tos just had a couple of Google whistleblowers come out. You know one of them mentioned that you guys you and your show is on the blacklist, but they've also mentioned that Prager? U,

it's been targeted, their own employees are coming out and admitting that they're targeting conservatives and, like you said Dennis, is message in the ten commandments. Are so mainstream that is really getting to be absurd at this point, their own employees are admitting it, yet they continue to go in front of Congress and they continue to say but they are politically neutral, which is which is obviously a lie. So what is your? What is your attack? I mean what is the you know. You're going up against. Google has who has more money and power than God at this point? What is your strategy? Well? This is the classic case of David and Goliath, and one one reason: I'm really proud to work and represent Prager. You is that we're fighters Dennis. So he says that courage, with goodness without courage. Is it useful, so we're very courageous, decorator you and we're really fighting for freedom of speech, not surprise you, but for all Americans, so that this is a very important case and there's gonna be a lot of supporters there today at the courthouse for greater you, which is very exciting. A lot of people recognize how important this case isn't so

uh yes tonight circuit is crazy, but we're going to take this as far as long as we need to all the way up to the Supreme Court to keep fighting. The good news is if you're turned down by the Knights Circuit Court, they are the most overturned court in the country. I mean if they say if they say the sky is blue. I'll swear to you that it's red because they're wrong. Almost every time that is true, yeah, alright, Craig best of luck, thing that we can do to help. Yes, I would encourage your listeners to please Kroger dot com. We have a petition against you to that. Six hundred thousand people have already signed and if they are so willing, generous that we are nonprofit profit into any donation will help us keep spreading public awareness on this issue, so we The fighting in the appreciate you have me on you bet. Thanks Greg it. There is

There are only a handful of things that I believe our God sends and things that will actually help save the country uh operational. You are the underground railroad, the saving of of children in the sex slave racket, forty million slaves around the world that the Nazarene fund, I think, is critical and and Prager University is another one, but it is. I just don't think that there's anybody that reaches as many people, especially young people, that is Prager university- I mean they are up to.

Think they're billion from view, and they have just swept the internet and their watch for all over the world, and it's really important work. If you can support them and that's either financially or just through a prayer today would be helpful university get things like their their video on the electoral College, like it's something like that. That is like one of the only thing standing in the way of younger people just getting on the national popular vote bandwagon, but it's actually explained which never happens in the media, people understand it pretty easily, but it takes four or five minutes, and that is that is. That is something that you know the media will actually dedicate to an important topic.

No. You know yesterday, I did a special our two this week, or at least for the next I think two or three days is going to be about the economy and all the things that you need to know today. The truth about recessions. Recessions are good. And bad for the politician and will explain the truth about recessions that nobody really ever explains anymore. We've completely gone off the deep end on on this it's, because of the FED. Yesterday we explain, I had so much mail yesterday and people came in to my office yesterday and they were like Glenn thing. Queue. For that monologue, on how important America is, we gave you some stats yesterday about how Sovereign funds from well. Almost all of the countries around the world are all

investing in our stock market and in our bonds, because it the only return. We are the last one that is offering real returns and you can't make money any place else if, if we fail, if we falter the entire world falters, If we get off, the free market which Elizabeth Warren will do the entire world goes to Hell and that's not hyperbole. If we fail economically, everything goes to hell in a handbag and by the way the poll that came out yesterday been waiting to ask you about it. When came out yesterday, that's a that's a real poll! Isn't it? yeah, it's showing a three way tie. Basically, the top yes absolutely the highest rated pollsters. There is now it's one pole, there's only

one other one. That's shown result like this, but that one is a little bit shaky, but this one is a plus admin, a plus rated poster. I mean Elizabeth Warren could be our next president you're listening back. We have We have an hour on the economy. Yesterday we do Y America's economy was so important. Today we talk about recessions, they're, good for economies, There are bad for people in presidents and you'll learn the nasty secret about recessions that the meat

I will never tell you. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. All this in this this time period, I'm going to be talking to you about the economy. What's coming, what you need to know explaining things that may the mainstream media just can't find time to explain yesterday, explain to you why China is so dangerous playing playing some sort of chicken with China is not necessarily a very good idea, they have a Trump card nope.

Intended, and I told you about that yesterday- also, whose fault is it if the He goes down. If you didn't hear it yesterday, we please go back to the podcast and listen to it. Today, we're going to talk to you about recessions, what are they well? They are good for economies, they're, just painful for people and very bad for presidents again there in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck program. So until but Marta she was a school teacher for about forty years and it was her labor of love and sometimes she still misses it. But these days she gets a concentrated version of the joy she used to feel during your teaching years by spending time with the grandkids, but up until she discovered relief factor, it wasn't looking as though Marta might really be able to enjoy

those days. In those times again years of pain in the joints of her hands left, her freak unable to even do simple tasks. Sometimes it brothers to tears other times, just merely quiet sadness should get into the car should want to go, see her grandchildren and she she couldn't turn the key of the ignition of her car because pain was so bad. Now, though, the pain is gone and she has relief factor to thank for it. Release factor is a great way to reduce the inflammation that causes pain and it works. Seventy percent of us who try it I've tried it relief, it's not a drug. I take it every day times a day, it's one thousand eight hundred and ninety five. You get the three week quick start. In that time, you will see if it works for you or not see how, and if it will vastly improve your quality of life. It is mine, try

relief factor, just try it and get your life back. If you want to drug free natural way to ease your pain and get your life back. Go to relieffactor dot com, that's relief, dot, com, relieffactor, dot com sessions good for economies, harsh on people, bad for presidents, No, I don't want to sound like Bill Maher, and I don't want to step into his quagmire sounding like I'm wishing or supportive of a recession striking the US economy. Let me art by Inv, Attic Lee stating I need there hope for a recession. Nor am I fork. Testing twelve to occur now soon next year or at any particular time we are off the chart. On recessions, so No one knows more

has gotten himself into trouble because he's openly wishing for the economy to crash into recession, despite the fact that it will be dead dating to millions of Americans who will lose their jobs, many of them will their homes or their businesses he believes that he we should have a recession between now and November, two thousand and twenty, because Trump will lose his reelection bid and that would make it worth it. Even though other people are suffering now, that's easy for a guy who's worth over one hundred million dollars to say, but let me say I every day that we do not experience a recession because, unlike MAR I'd, really rather not see any american it whether I agree disagree with them, suffer suffering make downturn and also because when it comes to the re election of Donald Trump,

Bill Maher is right about that. If a recession happens in the economy goes off the rails, he will be blamed first term presidents are really susceptible to recessions. Dooming, their chances at serving a second term and Trump attached, much of presidency and his campaign performance of the USA economy, if you're taking credit for everything, you're it blamed for everything as well, but first before we really get into this. Let me explain so we're on the same page for today purposes, I'm discussing the textbook definition of an economic recession that two or more quarters of declining gross domestic product, six months or more, where the full financial output of the United States is shrinking now, historically speaking, the United

eight states experiences a recession about every seven years. Remember that number, every seven years we have a recession. It's going to to play later and you're going to be. I think it's a it's a puzzle, piece that falls into your like. Oh, my gosh now we're currently sitting at ten years since the last recession. The great recession followed. You know that followed the two thousand and seven two thousand eight financial crisis. It's been ten years now this represents the period we're in now the longest period of financial expansion in all of US history. That should tell you something. So, in a way we are way overdue for our next recession. Already, you know, but that's no like saying LOS Angeles there are. There are overdue for a major earthquake because they hadn't had one in a while. You know makes for you know, go

headlines and everybody wants to read it, but it's not science now there's a great misconception about recessions, and this comes from the progressive movement around the turn of the century. It's all really do because of politicians in part, because the media and in part, because of our general tendency toward find escapes scapegoat when something quote, goes wrong. End quote, but here's the counter intuitive truth it you might need duct tape, to wrap around your head to your head, doesn't explode when I say this to you just because a recession occurs, it does necessarily. In fact, it usually does not mean anything has gone quote wrong. End quote in a healthy functional market economy.

Recessions are normal, their natural, an a healthy process of the business cycle. Now. That's hard to say, I'm a business owner. I I'm also a rancher. I have a farm, I know what farmers are going through right now we're going through it. I am a business small business owner. I know what it is like. I know homes can be foreclosed on by banks. Families are evicted during recessions. If savings can be wiped out, farmers lose their land, ranchers are forced to sell their herds small business owners are forced, forced to cut back on. Workers have to lay people off or they lose their business. So I have been through that process myself. It is painful, it is emotional and it has a real world impact. Nobody wants to go through.

Nobody wants to see anybody else go through that it's a hard time, but that is the trap. Everything is supposed to be easy will. Life is not naturally easy when something is truly easy all the time it goes against nature, uh huh angel downturn. Can it is really impact many people, so we attend tend to automatically think of them as bad things, and so we look for ways to stop them. That's natural, but it's wrong because it is going against the natural force to stop the we invent organizations like the Federal Reserve that is created to stop the

call boom and bust cycles that we were, you know, be in great pain from we. And boom and bust cycles. We had depressions that would last a year. Everybody would lose everything and then it would start back up and everything would be good for seven to ten years and then I got bad. So what we did is we invented the Federal Reserve. Did it work, no Two years after the Federal Reserve was formed, the US experienced an economic depression, one thousand nine hundred and twenty. I think it was then. Twelve years later, the stock market suffered the word crash. Ever America entered the great depression and we've had a dozen recessions. Since then, in fact, since the creation of the Federal Reserve System, both the frequency and the severity of US recessions has increased, not decreased and you're going to understand why, in a minute to

stop a recession, we create national job programs. We enact government in structure spending programs, we bail out banks, bail out automatically auto manufacturing entire industries, the FED pump trillions of dollars into the economy by buying bad mortgages, govern bonds stocks and fail pension funds. Yet each recession we fight, makes the next one much much worse. Let me take a quick and then I'm going to come back and tell you it exactly why we shouldn't be intervening in the financial markets, because it makes things worse and I'll. Show you exactly how and why first Let me tell you about a simplisafe. I've talked to you about simply safe and how they protect your home from burglars the average.

Arrival time for police is forty five minutes, but with simply safe. It's seven minutes now. This is why I love simply safe when they first came on, I think they had just a handful of employees. Now they have hundreds and hundreds of employees and they're the best selling system on the market. They are the they are the best. They are the benchmark now of home systems, and it's because they do things right, they don't and contracts. You can cancel it anytime, it's fifteen dollars a month for the for this home security. On the system. It's state of the art They now have video verification. So when your alarm goes off, it usually takes police about forty five minutes to get to a house after alarms going off, because it's usually a false alarm, and so it goes to the bottom of the list. However, with simply safe- and they are the only people that provide this Simplisafe has video verification. So when the alarm goes off, they look at the

cameras and they go yep. There's somebody in the house that shouldn't be there. They call and say this is real. We have an active, burglar or emergency. That goes. Your time goes from forty five minutes to seven minutes simply say the top name in home security. Now simply it has the deal going on where you can get a free, hd security camera. When you order that's one hundred r value, get your free hd, security camera right now at simply back dot com. That's I safe back dot com simply safe, back dot com. We break for ten seconds station id continuing part two on our week. Long series on the economy and things that you need to know and understand. If you're going to win

are the storms that are ahead. I want you to imagine for a minute that there is no Federal reserve, yay, there's no legal authority for the government to bail out any person or any industry. We just had a simple, truly free market economy. Now this world that you're imagining now during periods of economic expansion, investments get made, people are invent things, they launch new businesses, they speculate by investing in stock banks, loan money to entrepreneurs, people buy new car, new phones, tv's jet skis. They take out loan to build an addition to their home. Things are expanding and things are good. However, the bank can't you know, make every investment that the bank is by giving loans a great investment. People can

do that people have really good ideas for businesses. Maybe your timing is off. We they misread the market. Maybe it's crappy idea. Businesses fail, not every investment gets that the gets made is equally wise or good. Not every pro right that is launched or business idea has the same market value investments, weather to launch a new business or in a given stock. Eventually, either work out or they don't The smarter, wiser, wiser or luckier investment goes up in value and there's a payout, the lish risky or just unlucky, investment lose values and goes bad. This is not necessarily anybody's fault; sometimes it is sometimes it's not. You could the entire society of very well intentioned, hardworking and perfectly moral people and

will occur because every idea meets with success, so investments workout, some dome and in the bad or the unlucky investments go bad they to get flushed out of the system and the capital in the Energi in which has been allocated to that unproductive investment has to be, We deployed to new, hopefully more productive ones, so small business owner who opened a restaurant that just didn't end up being as popular. As they hoped, has to close the doors. The homemaker choose handcrafted handmade crafts are not selling on Etsy has to close down her website company. You invested billions of dollars, trying to invent the Purp tool. Motion machine has failed and now has to lay off all of his employees and close their doors. That's the normal cycle. Some things are good. Some things are bad

no outside shock or stock market crash is needed, no yield curve, inversion, no war, no drought or arcane Ivan there were no nefarious. Actors are crooks like Gordon Gekko or Bernie made off. It was as the natural business cycle of self or amazing systems coming back into balance and re, locating energy and resources from uh performing activities to more active ones. It's how grow and get better there's a setback we learn from it. We get better. Now, let's go back to seven years. Why does every recession happen tend to occur?. Every seven years, it's because the fridge Business loan is fine, two seven years long, so it

as simple as that. Don't let any economists tell you anything different uh about two years into economic expansion. Money is lent out in or by banks to entrepreneurs who start or and their business summer. Those businesses fail succeed and because the average loan is about five years long, the businesses, failing, tend to start the start, not paying things back about six or seven years into the economic expansion, so banks have to write off those losses. Land less. This is lay people off the economy, absorbs the cycle of higher unemployment and financial slowdown as recession. It's a peer it usually less than a year where the economy shrinks as bad investment, bad. That and bad ideas flushed out of the system, no,

The President of Bridgewater Capital, eats this. One of the world's largest head fund calls this part of the cycle. The deleveraging phase. Unsound or unlucky, investments have to be flushed out of the financial system and then uh period of investments. An economic expand occurs now. Yes, when a recession occurs, otherwise innocent people are negatively impacted, sometimes severely server at the restaurant. They didn't do anything to or being laid off. She's gonna have to deal with, not having a job, not having income or children going to suffer. Everyone is going to suffer. The auto worker who's boss does decide to invest billions in that perpetual motion. Engin didn't make a bad decision, it was the boss is that did, but they are going to be laid off. They deserve our sympathy and, I believe,

more importantly, they deserve our help and assistance, but not through roll system. Instead, as a community as people with a social contract that we have with our neighbors, we help people the further we get away from farming. The further we get away from this truth, you might be the best far, but for some reason something went wrong: weather water, whatever it is, something went wrong and you have a failing crop. The other farmers around you. No I'm going to help this person and they rally around and they help each other because they know some year down the road they're going to need the help and it's a social contract. It's what keeps our farming community solid now,

instead of doing those things, instead of understanding the natural and healthy cycle that exists within a free market economy which rewards best ideas with stained overall growth, we try to create a centrally planned system that will provide for positive growth for everybody. No one will ever ever suffer it's going to be great All business is at all time. We and to believe that somehow this petition or this central banker can prove a recession from ever occurring. It's not possible. If the government were in charge of everything than smart bureaucrats and committees could decide on what ideas are good and bad, what to build when This is the Elizabeth Warren Plan. What consumers want need, or by Harvard trained economist who now

live in Georgetown and they are much smarter than Monpas Kettle in call town USA, let me continue, you will understand the free market, you will Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Why recession is normal and natural and you should not freak out. Instead, we should actually freak out that the government is feeling everyone out. We've had ten years past our last recession. The next one could be worse. Back you know, buying or selling a home is really hard. Nobody enjoys the process, but when you have to do it, it helps immensely If you have somebody who actually knows what they're doing and you trust them, you need the best agent

weather its integrity or competence, or both it matters that you get the best of the when you are selling or buying a home. That's why? Who created real estate agents, I trust dot com. We learned the practices of great agents and we decided to build a network of those great agents, help you sell or buy a home. Then cool thing happened, the people who have those best practices, they saw what we were doing and they flooded and said. I want to be a part of this. It's taken us many years to get this right to make sure have everybody fully vetted and we watch them every sale they make if they ever fall out of the parameters they are no longer in the system. If you want a great agent who has a high sense of urgency whose professional knows how to really value your home and create the most value for your home, get moving go to real estate agents, I trust dot com

going to blazetv dot com promo code is Glenn. Save ten dollars get your description now in support. Conservative voices welcome to the program the Glenn Beck program. I I'm talking about recessions today and it's important for you to understand this. I'm trying to give you a week this hour of of economic food to chew on because I believe, between now and two thousand and thirty, the world is going to be facing economic collapse and in the strongest free market advocate when they're affected there going to rush toward socialism. We, if, if this economy doesn't hold together, if done, will trump loses this race. God help us all

you're going to have somebody like Elizabeth Warren and she is going to use the motherly. We just take care of each other kind of thing an we will end the free market. It's part of her plan, uh, so its import that we all know what is right and why it's right. Out recessions can be prevented, it can be lessened with pro percent interest loans. They they can flood the market with cheap money. It doesn't usually help the lower class. Anne Middle Class doesn't really get rich. It actually expands the distance between the poor and the wealthy, but Natural mishaps can be prevented with government bailouts. That's he did in eight poor invest. This can be prevented with economic district land. You know by appointed committees.

Financial cycles can be prevented completely. Listen to this by way the modern monetary theory MBTI, and this is a new theory. It's not it's a very old theory, and it is. It does not work. It's magic will get into this later on this week, but it is where government simply print money they need at anytime. They determined they needed and the level of money it is it's. Zimbabwe is Venezuela and it will into our way of life, and you have pull in Washington now discussing it as a brilliant new idea. So you can do a lot of things, but what tends to occur when governments and central banks interfere with financial markets? Is they may the recession? It may worse so, the next recession, you know, becomes a depressione it would

it happened that way if you would have let it just go, and people pay for the mistakes that they made. It creates distortion in our financial market by injecting policies and currency and false demand where it would not I have otherwise been, it makes it possible the deleveraging process doesn't happen. It doesn't, the bad business, ideas and investments out of the system and make room for new, better ideas. The banks never had to pay for their mistakes, and they are much worse today, even with all the new regulation than they were before. Two thousand and eight. Now I want to show you the worst example of a centrally planned and controlled economy and how it makes things worse. It's China! Yes, ok, I told you that their debt to GDP

is running at four hundred and well, is it eighty seven, a percent to GDP? That what it we're running at about sixty eight percent of GDP, which means take sixty eight percent of everything that we have made and sold and purchased for the year take sixty percent of that and just add that to our debt. There at four hundred and negative four hundred and eighty eight seven percent they are centrally planned. They have thirty in special economic zones. Each one has a committee to determine what to build what invest things to make resources to mind for years pun in the media, people in banking. They also talk about the chinese miracle, an unprecedented

twenty two years in a row of GDP growth, at least on paper. This is why you they have ghost cities entire gigantic city, with no one living in them. According to Merrill Lynch, more than fifty percent of the companies in China are actually bankrupt. Fifty percent- they are zombie companies there kept alive, not because they are able to produce a profit or pay debts, but because their debts continually refinance by the central bank in a never ending cycle of more debt to cover the bad investments. It's the definition of good money after bad. This is why, as I told you yesterday, they had to create fifty trillion dollars in currency since two thousand and fourteen fifth

a trillion. So you know all the currency in print from all over the world today is sixty trillion, so they mostly printed almost whatever country in the world has in in currency and half of that went into the zombie companies wow. It happens when bad companies and poor investments aren't allowed to fail for political reasons. Well, one analogy is think of forest fires, think of forest by we. We have knee jerk reaction when a forest fire occurs. Oh no, there's a fire. Some gone wrong: we've got to put it out. We got to save the forest. Well, now, wait a minute hold it just a second: the forest will grow back, it will grow back. It is natural. Now, if somebody is doing arson, that's different, but lightning is natural. We have more

Forrest now than we've ever had, because why we don't let them burn like it happened in nature and we also plant an awful lot of trees. We all know that it's settled science, that fires are a very imp, certain part of ecological, the ecological cycle. It helps keep the forest healthy. It also removes the older, unhealthy and dead plants and converts into a nutritional resource for the soil and it it was a much healthier forest to grow. Arkansas nude intervention into that natural cycle of forest fire prevents the ed underbrush and the fallen trees from being removed. This is

California's fire after fire after fire, the fire. When, when you do that, the fire just rolls through it becomes an out of control fire storm that destroys the entire forest and not just the dead and unhealthy underbrush, the credit site or is the same, it is the natural way for self organizing markets to ensure the resources are allocated to the healthiest and most productive ideas, products and companies, and when they go out of business, when people learn their lesson, they pay the price for bad decisions. It's painful Joe, like a forest fire is, but it adds nutrients to the soil of the free market. So it's good for economies. However, if you interfere, it's very bad

little spot fire pops up in the economy. We extinguish it with mountains of zero interest loans, bailouts from government and investments. We are, we are making it much much worse. Our economy is strewn with overgrown companies and programs that simply grow the bubble, even bigger it's happening in the banking sector, which brings us to presidents. It is understandable that politicians do not like recessions. I don't want a recession and I'm telling you if the economy goes to Hell in a hand basket which many people are rooting for. It means the president loses this. He loses this race, we become a plan society without a free market. During recessions, everybody's looking for somebody to blame, because we

think recessions are not natural, that they are bad, the president visible politician. He has most authority, and so he gets in you know outside share of the blame. When quote something goes wrong and if you look at the press in C since World war, two one term president had their first term barred by a recession, Ford Carter, Bush, one probably was doomed anyway, because Nixon, but the trend holds before world war. Two recessions also took their toll with well the with four one term, president suffering through a recession or depression. During the first term, two others were assassinated and FDR did break the mold, but he was

You know he elongated, I think the worst economy in US history and he sold the the people. A line of lies that were were just that they were guys they were not helping anyone. They were elongating things and he did it out of compassion which can be misplaced trump. However, I think is the most acute case. Recession, impacting reelection chances that we've ever seen, because he has built presidency on the economy. He is taken credit for everything, so stocks are up. Unemployment, low gdp growth been solid, every quarter top line, metrics look good, he talk it's about it. He says see what we're doing is good. It makes him vulnerable to a downturn very vulnerable, especially in this where the media and everybody else is just not telling you the truth.

He knows this Ann he's going to be keenly focused on the economy, make sure it does slip into recession. I think it all costs he and his team are already advocating a FED cut for interest rates, restart the quantitative easing bidis, buying distressed out assets. Farmers that are losing their farms and we should expect more of the over the next few months. Now here's some good news, everybody in the FED they are looking at. They look at themselves like heroes. They are, they are Jesus NEO from the matrix and Ben Bernanke all rolled up into one. They just they learn anything from this. They think what they did was save the enemy and in some ways they were right. The the Federal Reserve

Re Loan did reload after the bailouts of two thousand and nine sing banks around the world did not, but we raised our interest rates off the zero percent level. We got them up to two point: five I've and we sold a lot of that bad debt until recently, every time we sold it, the market crash twenty percent first in January in April than October to Christmas, and since then they haven't deleveraged anything, but they do have some am or to stave off a recession, at least for awhile, but it will make the next one worse. Now, here's what we can do. We can prepare our cell and our families, our businesses in our communities. We can keep what we have in safe places. We can make sure that we have savings. It may mean that you sacrifice, you know something you want today for you know,

so you have something when it's raining outside, you can pay off the debt. Where you can, you can refinance in uh right now into a lower interest rate. Get those credit card debt get it down, get your interest rate than the credit cards from eighteen percent to four percent. If you can back on all unnecessary expenses- and I know this sounds stupid, but I One of the reasons why we suffer so much today is because we have broken our covenant as a covenant nation. Every single day we have chased God out of our schools. Out of our churches. Am we don't have any rules anymore? We don't even in in truth anymore, and we were a covenant nation we to start Lou,

giving the covenant. We have to start behaving like God's people, which means we have to start serving each other more. We have to start being decent, more have to restrain the natural man in us and the biggest part of that is getting down on our knees, humbling ourselves, asking for forgiveness and praying for our country, praying that what his will is is done. Whether we like it or not, whatever he deems, is best for us that it's done an we accepted and that our hearts are softened, so we can help another through whatever comes more tomorrow, somewhere within the sound of my voice. There is a man with a whistle around his neck and he is aching to hear it

real call just one more time he gets up in the or any goes for a walk, and he walks the sidelines of Ado covered gridiron and his to Kovas boots, making a fine, firm noise it now time was.

western wear for your frontier, your listening to glance back yeah, congratulations to the republican governor of Idaho Brad Little is his name. He was told by the three judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that the State of Idaho must pay up pay for the male to female gender reassignment surgery, oven in eight sentence to ten years in prison for sexually abusing a fifteen year old boy, uh well atracted to boys. I guess because he's actually a female and he wants to be reassigned as a female. That's about out a twenty three thousand dollars surgery,

the governor said. No, I don't think the taxpayers are going to pay for that. I agree. One hundred and ten percent pain and suffering, cruel and unusual punishment is what the court says. You're listening to land back. I am happy about. Thank you very much for him because you vacationed at home. I know how to make and there was not a vacation. It would do that by choice, or did your wife make

the long weekend I had you know we had some work going on at the house that you have going on that. We had some stuff like getting fixed and install the minimum likes. You know if you know the things that build up on your list of things to do. I've got a handle. I've been avoiding them now for about five years. Yes and I've got to take care of all of them now and it's like a whim and we live on the street that was built in like two thousand sixty thousand in two thousand and eight with all the houses on it so right before the housing collapse, and so all the houses that were built in that time frame, yeah looking within the last two months of all replace their roof, and I'm like this is freaking coming isn't it yes is like, and I we had to do it yeah well yeah, but like I'm, one of those are fun I don't want to. I don't want

all right, Rob Henderson is joining us next. He wrote a great article in the New York Post. I read this weekend: luxury beliefs are the latest status symbol for rich Americans great points. Next, the fusion, entertainment and enlightenment. Oh, you know what climate change. Everyone should have renewable energies who are motors, and everyone get renewable energy woman because people can afford it. You know marriage is you know, monogamy is out dated and not good for society course. I'm married, but marriage isn't for everyone

at the rich. There. Marriage rate is the same as it was in nineteen. Sixty everyone else is collapsing. You know religion is really not good. For oh really, isn't, there's a gray article from Rob Henderson. I read it this weekend in the New York Post luxury beliefs, there, the latest status symbol for rich americans- just that is so true, but when you hear the effect of what that status symbol is doing to everyone else,. It really rings home is something that is very, very bad for our society. We go there in one minute, add program. You know it only takes one major disaster to remind us. How fragile our lives really are. How easilly the well oiled machine of society can breakdown life can change that fast

when it changes does so many times without any warning when urgency strikes, are you prepared for days without electricity or stores being damaged or closed, or if you live in Ella Fornia? Are you really prepared for another fire and your home gone can imagine I can imagine living. You know on a coast with a hurricane or in California with everything. How do you do it? Today's a good day to we're headed into national preparedness month, which, as the name success suggests that it is time to prepare for disasters. I've done this. I did it. Many many years ago started. Building food storage with my patriot supply have Revolutionary revolutionized preparedness within industry, leading line of emergency food gear, water, filtration products, every

that, you might need some down the line this week. You'll save one hundred dollars on a four week: emergency food package when go to my special website, preparewithglenn dot com- these are four week kits- include breakfast lunch and dinner for four weeks. They last up to twenty five years in storage. They are really really good food. It's not like the old memories. This is good food. There ship for free, discreet to your door like it's some sex product, but you don't them. Nobody's going to come over the over the house with a gun to take your sex product in a disaster. They will go for your food. I guess Don't ignore the writing. On the wall, give your some piece of mind take this away this, that you don't need to worry about this say

one hundred dollars right now. It prepare with Glenn dot com, that's prepare with Glenn dot com, so Rob Henderson writes in the New York Post. A former estimate from Yale recently told me that monogamy is kind of outdated, not good for society. So I asked her what her background is and if she planned on marrying she, she comes from an affluent family works at a well known technology company and yes, she personally to have a monogamous marriage, but quickly added that marriage shouldn't have to be for everyone, but she was raised by a traditional family

planned on having a traditional family, but she maintained the traditional families are old fashioned and society should evolve beyond them. I ask myself what could explain this welcome to the program Rob Henderson? How are you, Sir good thanks for having me you bet, I really enjoyed your article. What explains that and why is it a problem? Yeah do you know Glenn IE, study, social psychology and how people are influenced by uh the Phd student at Cambridge joins in based on a lot of research. It seems that the coach will status is a key driver and how people think and how, how we behave- and in fact you know all this research shows that you know respect and admiration from our peer.

There's contributes more to our sense of well being than even how much money we make, and so this is sort of how I came up with the idea of luxury beliefs, and so this we experience this sort of pleasure to Oro pressure to display our status in new ways, and you know one way we do this is by just playing. You know, sort of our prestige or intelligence or education, and we do this by coming up with sort of ever in bizarre argument. You know end, so one concern I have is bad. You know the beliefs of the upper class. You know the big continue to to change an update as people below them. Adoptees believes in sort of their beliefs. The upper class please become more while the more exotic and further did themselves from ordinary people. There's sort of constantly updating their belief, wardrobe so squad is, is causing them to do that and because, in the old days

is if you were rich, you might have lived a different lifestyle like the Vanderbilts lived, a different lifestyle, but they didn't want to be known as as denigrating or tearing apart everyone else. They wanted to be seen as the average decent American. What's happened, yeah! Well, I think you know two. You might be going on one is that um sort of luxury goods and having a fancy items it's just these goods are more affordable, so everyone can purchase them and another is that it's it's, maybe not so cool to display your wealth with material goods anymore. I but people maybe think it's a sort of tacky or it sort of makes people feel bad too. You know if I get to

for this item, but you don't get to have it, and so both of those things simultaneously make material goods so appealing, so a new way that the upper class can display they're they're status is to have these sort of unusual and in some cases, even Tsar believes uhm and in many cases they hold these beliefs with good intentions. They think, there may be doing the right thing, but I think alongside that may be more kind. Hearted motive is also this motive to sort of display their social class so. Give me a give me some examples of luxury beliefs, sure so one belief that I talk about and then you post article is the belief that all family structures are equal. There's. This sort of non judgmental attitude that a lot of educate people have. You know whether you're single parent or stepparent, or have a poly polyamorous sort of situation with the parents. You know

equal, but you know the actual empirical evidence is clear that families will, two married parents- are the safest and most beneficial for young children, and you know often it's it's members of the upper class you know as you, as you noted, a reading the article there that grew up with two married parents- and you know somehow these are the sort of You know on the of the belief that you know monogamy is outdated or that you know marriage is some kind of a you know, an impressive structure that you know all families are exactly the same uhm. I think this relaxed attitude rude about monogamy and marriage, it trickles down to the working class and the poor and, as you said, you know, marriage. We are marriage rates between the upper class and lower class Americans were actually quite similar in the 1960s, because strong social norms in place and then after went Americans during that time started expressing more skepticism

about marriage and monogamy and the sort of trickle down to the lower classes and eroded the social norms for those people, but for the upper classes, marriage rates actually remained roughly. That is such that they're, basically getting married at the same rates today. So why the disconnect? Why the p reaching it they say this? Do they not believe it? No, that's an intra question about belief. I think that they many of them. I do believe it on some level, but I'm also not entirely sure how much believe actually matters. I think that this driver's social status is so strong that people can kind of convinced themselves of in a strange believes if it gives them the sort of for back, then the admiration of their peers. You know if it's trendy and cool in the moment in one social group to say that you know

polyamory is is fine. Then people will just say that because they don't want to risk being ostracized in outcast by their peers. So so me out on on one thing: how do become a luxury to have some of these beliefs? For instance, all families are equal, had really started at least the way. I see it either one of two ways: it started as a deconstruction kind of postmodernism plan and was planted too destroy our society or it came from a place to where nobody wants to. Nobody is to harm or say things that makes the single mom you know, or the mixed family feel bad

and so you're like no. You know when you have a good. You have a good marriage and you have a you know. Are you have a good family and your family is mixed in? So that's fine whatever, but we we can't seem to find it within ourselves to action. Go the extra step and say nothing to do with you, but if there is a choice, it's best, but the family stays together. I know this first, I'm a divorced guy and from first marriage I have two children. It would in a lot better for them. If mom and dad were still together, their life drama likely change their scars and everything else, which is normal. That doesn't make me bad guy or you know, mom a bad guy, add person, it's just that happens sometimes, but we should be stable to say yeah, but that's the goal to get here.

How come we don't say that? How come that, how come? Why is that gone. Yeah, well, I mean uh. I think that the first reason you you positive there about you know sort of postmodern deconstruction. I think that that's example I've sort of displaying one's intelligence and education. You know you can only learn an idea like that and it only university or a college right I mean you know ordinary people. Spending their days. Reading about you know, dairy dogs, Juko or something like that right, and I think the second reason you said you know This idea of, like you know we don't want to. We don't want to make people feel bad. We don't want to people uhm yeah. I think there's this. You know belief that other downtrodden and we shouldn't make others feel bad and we shouldn't uhm. You know sort of elevate, our cell, the bug them by telling them that certain things certain behaviors lead to better outcomes than others

yeah. I think, on the one hand, it makes us feel good to have these. You know sort of fancy beliefs about postmodernism, and then we also I want to make others feel bad about their lifestyle choices and a luxury belief would be the one that maybe comes from you understanding, postmodernism an understanding, or is it just at the level of I just don't want to be ostracized and this what my peers are saying, because they went to college and were indoctrinated with this crap. I think both those are are, you know, sort of key components of luxury belief, and you know the way that luxury believes impose costs on others. You know. First, you know their the expression of love. Police require, believes, require, learning that sort of complicated vocabulary, and then you know, on the other hand, the luxury belief

it doesn't matter. You know things are exactly the same. I don't want to judge and yeah. I think that there's a there's sort of both of those components at work here, so that the outcome is that the person expressing this belief is raising status will also you know, intentionally or not creating harm for people below them. You you, point. Something out that I think is so good in this. You talk about the uh religion is irrational or harmful. Members the upper class, are likely to be atheist or non religious, but they have resources in access to thrive without a unifying social edifice of religion hum why the upper class is different than the lower class in this you've about a the article

yeah, I mean yeah a lot of members of the upper class being to have this sort of nasty attitude towards religion that you know, they're, they're, non religious or you know EDS Straight Gnostic and be sort of approach, religion from an electrical standpoint um, but they also have you know in their own lives. The upper classes tend to have resources and social connections to thrive, ouch having to rely on their neighbors or their community. You know the sort of people who who are around them and I think religion, sort of provides that, like you, know, buying social out of it, so that people can come together and a reason to care for one another, and I think that yeah, denigrate the importance of religion doesn't really harm the rich very much. I think it harms the poor and lack of religion

can give rise to sort of meaninglessness and feelings of despair. Well, whereas the rich they already have those resources, they already have the access and oftentimes they find their meanings, traveling, the world or through unusual hobbies or or even work, as you point out even their profession. They might have a perfect and but most people have a job and there's a huge difference right, exactly uh. I only have about forty seconds left. Can you can you just tell me? Where are we in this trend? I mean you know: fashion clothing goes out of style the beginning of this middle of this. Where are we yeah? So it's interesting. I think that one one fine that we may be shifting trends here is the popularity of this article in of itself. You know, I think, that a lot of the things point out in that article used to be known as

conventional, and you know like a two parent families, good for kids, correct, not sure when that became, you know sort of an edgy thing to say, but a lot of people now see. To resonate with it and agree with it, and I think we may be slowly turning the tide such that a lot of people are coming around back to these more you know, sort of typical conventional believes. They don't feel the need to. You know, sort of jump on the bandwagon it's for the for the latest. You know bizarre our luxury belief. I hope that you are right, Rob Henderson. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Thank you Glenn. You bet uh, I want to talk to you a little bit about times gone by. You know as we're talking about these things. These luxury beliefs. You know things used to be a lot simpler, a coke down at the drugstore cost. Yet nickel, you want

So I got an interesting email from somebody who I haven't talked to in probably six seven years. He is very well known. I mean he's the class, I think Gov Avadon Trump, in a way that when you think of business people he would one of the names that would pop up in your head. Like you know,

model trailers. They say you know famous business person, Donald Trump. This guy is is in that category and he wrote to me out of the blue. Obviously he was listening to the program and he Ed Glenn. Patrick Byrne is insane. And he said you don't don't put your Justin Patrick Byrne. This is nuts, it's he's nuts and just don't believe him he's the stock ceo until recently. Right, you know, Patrick, is, is a really quirky but owns. Is this guy? So is Donald Trump people who are like that, so you know so is Warren Buffett he's quirky? These people tend to be quirky, but I don't.

I don't see this with Patrick Byrne as something I've, I've heard Patrick, say some crazy things like hey bitcoins, going to be the future. I know crazy right when he said it was thirty dollars and now it's what one thousand yeah that's crazy, sometimes you're right sometimes you're wrong, but this one makes sense to me. I believe, Patrick, on this deal you're talking about his claim that there was. States that was trying to the there's a strain of FBI, people or Justice Department, people, not all of them. That He was involved with the that we're asking him to do things that he didn't understand. He's got a national security clearance and then once he saw the Trump investigation in this Russia stuff, he was like whoa. This is all a setup.

And he mentioned it recently because he's saying that Bill bar is going to clean it up and you're going to know about it soon and and whether he said that to make sure that Bill Barr and the Justice Department kind of include some of these things or have to respond to it. I don't know. But I believe him and John Solomon: he is the executive vice president of the hill he's an opinion contributor because he's conservative, but he is a great great investigative journalist. I talked to him about the Hillary Clinton investigation, which he's been following, and I want to ask him about what does he know about Patrick Byrne in one minute? You're listening I hate insomnia. I have for the last couple of days. I just could.

I haven't been able to turn my brain off an I had been up till like two hundred o'clock in the morning reading and researching and uh. I hate that the only thing worse tossing and turning and not being able to go to sleep because your pillow is hot or your bed. Is hot in your sweating and you can't get comfortable. Oh my gosh, I hate that my pillow. Is an incredible company and it was built by Glendale he's the owner and inventor of my pillow and I will tell you, I didn't try the my pillow well, they sent me one and then I tried it and I didn't like it and I was like oh, I can't do commercials for these guys MIKE a man, and he said you hate it. Don't you and I said yeah I do and he said you have the wrong one. He told me last night:

Now you get a premium pack for six thousand nine hundred and ninety nine eight hundred nine hundred and sixty six three thousand one hundred and seventeen use the promo code back is a promo code. Glen for blazetv dot com get ten dollars off your subscription join. Now the man who previously worked at the Associated Press, the Washington Post the Washington Times he is an award winning investigative journalist and now the exact vice president at the hill is name is John Solomon. He is somebody who actually is looking for the truth, and I appreciate his work and his

willingness to come on the on the program. Welcome John, how are you hi good bad to good to be with you go on? Yes, so tell me I want to. I want to talk to you about a couple of things. First of all, the FBI seems to be investigating the Clintons again. Well, that is a good question. The FBI should be investigating the Clintons again, based on the fact that there was a discovery of some highly classified evidence that the FBI never examined as part of its Clinton emails server investigation. It's remarkable were three years past the closer that investigation? That's a very controversial down case James Comi. Remember all the things that went on with that yeah Now we learn three years later that there was this highly classified pile of documents, very important information information that the agents working the case themselves said was going to be in,

to look at before they made a determination on Hillary Clinton's culpability and they never looked at it, but the other way somebody wouldn't allow them to look at that evidence, and so three years later, thanks to some letters between Senator Grassley, Senator Grassley and Johnson and the inspector, all of the just the barber Michael Horowitz. We learned of the existence of these documents and the fact that the FBI never looked at him and and what's frustrating is senators can't get an answer from the Justice Department and FBI as the bar Trump Justice Department has not answered the senators about whether they're going to take a look at this evidence. Why do you suppose that's happening. It's a remarkable thing. The inertia inside bureaucracy right, and so there is something These documents, that must be remarkably sensitive and perhaps may may cause pressure or questions to reopen the case.

And it does not appear- the FBI wants to go down that path, but it isn't fair to us in America and it is an equal justice system. If you don't complete the job you started, we gave MRS Clinton during the twenty sixteen election, even though there was broad evidence- be transmitted highly classified information on a private server. She did not get prosecuted. And then we find out that a key piece of evidence wasn't examined. That always makes us suspicious in the american public. So John, it's not I'm not as concerned about the investigation in the Clintons, because I I think I know what you know. I think I know say harder. I am really concerned that we, you should be investigating the entire justice Department and I don't think that everybody in the FBI is dirty. I don't think everybody in the Justice Department is dirty, but there are people apparently that are dirty and we'll move things for political reasons, and that is that

it's not America once we lose trust in our justice system. We become you, know, Mexico or Haiti, or whatever, right now, it's so integral, and we always expected it whether you're democrat or public and white or black, living Connecticut, are living in Florida, we're all going to be treated the same when the justices looks at us, and over the last few years, we've seen a really strong body evidence that people got treated differently based there are political connections or their political affiliation and that trouble everyday American. I go out when I'm out and about traveling in the real world people come up to you and say you know it feels like there's two justice systems, one today for the cats and Hillary Clinton and the other for Republicans in every day, the common man- and I think that perception is deeply troubling and really cuts at the roots of our our great democracy, and I think bar- has an enormous opportunity to fix this justice department. Put the people that are so good in it or

nine percent of them are amazing agents. The gators in lawyers, get the one percent out and get this house put back in order so that we can trust the the legal system. Do you believe Bill bar? Is that guy I think he is. He certainly has the credentials to do it. He has shown early on in the Russia Investigation to talk candidly and honestly and not you. The euphemisms in their bureaucratic blur that we heard earlier people use in that job? The real question will come down. Will he really identify the false? Will he really punish people? Will there be real criminal prosecution and the next months are are telling point we're going to learn from the inspector general just how bad the Russia Faisal was we're going to learn from John I'm just how much buying went on on a political campaign, and then it will be in Bill bars corner to the side hi who do the bonus? How does he promised them? How does he fixes? How did he make sure this never

happens to another presidential candidate or another American ever again? What does your gut tell you my that tells me there will be a lot of shaming. There will be a really mister, counting like we got after nine hundred and eleven, if you remember all the mistakes that the FBI made failing to connect the dots before nine hundred and eleven a lot of shaming a lot of honest discussion about what was wrong. More of these euphemisms in spin jobs that we've gotten from the Justice Department and FBI. I think the threshold for prosecuting a former FBI agent or an FBI department official is very high in this it because of the natural inertia in the Justice Department. I don't think that's right, but I do think that it exists and we'll find out what you know whether the Justice Department is serious if they they carry out some prosecutions. We know for fifteen months now, Andy Mccabe has been sitting there identified, having conduct created

or committed. Criminality clearly lie just like we cues MIKE Flynn, just like we have accused Papadopoulos and in fifteen months he hasn't been charged despite two Trump attorney generals. So when you look at that case, you have to wonder, are they going to do it now? The statute of limitations is coming up on that it is going to be judgement time pretty soon. Every Anne Mccabe gets indicted for lying, just like the other people in the russian case said that I think people will fare, feel justice is done as he walks the could. This continuing question of two Justice Department for two systems of justice is go persist, and I don't think it's just one for the Republicans and one for the Democrats. I think it is one for the privileged and then for the rest of everybody else. Very good point John talking about the article that you wrote a few days ago, the ten to class find russian collusion revelations that could rock Washington. This fall yet so

behind the scenes there's been an apparatus that the president has been building as it unveiled it yet, but it's going to be a special office, it's going to declassify and give us true visibility to what really went on in the Russia case from from the beginning origins, all the way. Back to March, when George Papadopoulos first met with an academic in Rome, all the way through the end of the Muller reports, and so there on hold on hold on hold on ' is this a real office? Or is this a political office? This is a real office. Okay, going to be empowered with the power of the presidency it's going to fulfill the very public statement that Donald Trump made that he was going to classify this information. I think a lot of people thought when he gave the declassification authority to bar the bar was going to do this sort of public relations. Declassification explain all the documents he gave that the power to borrow so that he could do his investigation

CIA Fbi didn't want to give up something. He had the power to go, get into classified, look at it or share it with prosecutors and FBI agents working on the case, but for the public. The president is always had a different idea in mind. Somebody that could tell a story explained it all in Layman's terms, help us understand what happened, so it never and again that office is being set up and I would begin to it. But I believe that in MID September Ford we're going to see the documents be to classify that we've been waiting for for more than two years. I take my ten favorite that I know from all the to get his I've talked to are the most transformational and they range from statements that George Papadopoulos in Carter page made to FBI informants or on tape where they were clearly expressing their innocence, and that was not provide the FISA court to really basic information like what was in the face and what was excluded in the face that we still don't know what was in all those redacted pages. There is a significant amount of very

port information that will really rankle Washington in the fall. When these documents get public I'll, give you one fun one: 'cause. It just teases the imagination, the house, investigators, that did the intelligence review. They had fifty three interviews of really key people most of the main players in the investigation. There's a revelation in one of those interviews at the Democratic National Committee was in touch with the CIA, and you have to ask yourself: the CIA has no responsibility on domestic soil. The Dnc is a political organization. Why were these two organizations talking and I think when we get, that answer will see just how big a dirty political tricks, the Russia probe holy cow all right? One more question: I had somebody very of well known, big business person who

wrote to me and said: Glenn, Patrick Byrne is out of his mind insane and I know Patrick he is. He is different. He thinks differently he's a libertarian, but I don't he's dishonest Have you looked into this stuff with Patrick? Are you heard anymore? What do you think I have done? A lot of work bring over the weekend after his CNN interview. So what I've learned is that the original material that might my old colleague Sarah Carter, fantastic journalist, one of the best in the country severely on about Patrick Byrne, is spot on. Those are accurate facts in. And that her storyline is the accurate storyline of what burn did and didn't do with the FBI and what was going on. There was some soft operation going. I know how much he initiated a verse of the F B. I control them is in dispute, but I believe the Justice Department, lawyers who interviewed burns a few months back sounds incredible and that is Timeline maps. The other timelines of things that they're finding in the on going investigation,

I think his more recent comments. What I've been told by people who are in the know, the evidence, his more recent comma, spending a more elaborate conspiracy of multiple people in the FBI controlling him. I don't think those are going to pan out with the facts, but I do either with contact and exchange of. Patient and the FBI might using him as a softway of probing, this Trump Russia collusion theory, which of course, is falling apart very clearly before our eyes, but I think it's, those are the sort of relations were going to get in these documents in the fall, there were multiple efforts to probe, monitor spy, Trump campaign and we don't know them all. We think we do, but we don't. I don't think we know seventy kind of what really went on in this investigation. Yet this fall will be that opportunity. For accounting I mean, if there's real, if if people are actually looking for the truth- and it is half of what I think it might be- we have a we have a

a government or a justice department that is delete out of control, not all of 'em, just some there's a strain in there. That is really out of control I agree, I talked to the senior Justice Department official, who has been in the game that nonpartisan better the job two thousand and thirty years, and he said things that he seen have shocked his conscience and he said I thought I thought thing. In my thirty years. I think people are beginning to realize that this was a political operation. Can I could, under the authority of the US intelligence community has something envisioned. Does America what happen and we have to so? Is it get it out? There punish the bad guys and then it won't happen again. I think I think that's the right recipe for solving happened here. I think so too, but I have a different man than I was twenty years ago. I wonder I wonder if anyone really will be punished

and concern while they wait and see yeah. I think that's a real, legitimate concern, John Solomon. Thank you, so much executive vice president of the hill. Thank you. You bet bye, bye, so nice to talk to somebody who is who's actually doing their job and you know not swing it. One way or another, just telling you the truth. Oh in the facts where they go yeah, so rare theoretically would journalism was supposed to be at one point: yeah, let me Norton Secure VPN when you're using it. It is like you're in one of those medieval european castles. You know with the motor bridge and everything else the idea of the mountain and the drawbridge is that there's only one way to get in or out of the castle and it's heavily guarded and nobody nefarious. You can make all kinds of plans, but you're not getting in that's what VPN is to cybercriminals. When you are online, you are protected

He can get your tickets. This left so important for you to understand that every single story is the gods, honest truth. You will not believe that when the show is over, but it's true, it's too is you know. Stewie calls me out every time I exaggerate or don't get things right, one one hundred percent. True, that is true. These stories actually happened.

You can find out in the scene about the ticket to Glenn Beck dot com to get to a few v. I p tickets left and bunch tickets. You can pick up after all right. I wanna. Play Jen Rubin. You know, of course, she's she's, a great GOP person she's, not she, oh gosh, so we're 'cause. They say the conservative columnists generally not conserve on how you even trying at this point here. She. Let's listen to this GEN Ruben. We should be doing is shining these people shunning shaming, people is a statement of moral indignation that these people are not fit for polite society. I think any University of Virginia, for example, for a bit had a relationship with Mark short who is now back with the administration. I think it's absolutely a boring that any to channel higher learning any new, the organization or any or entertainment organization that has a news outlet would hire these people. It's not only that Trump has to lose

all his enablers have to lose. They have to. We have, to collectively in essence, burn down the republican Party. We have to level them, because if there are survivors There are people who weather this storm hang out just like they got so what she's saying here, I've heard it before and I just want to point it out. Could could we play this audio same thing? There will be no survivors. I mean Jen get a new routine yeah, I mean we're going to burn down and with that would be those of I buzz, and

it's a credible. Now it's a good kredible pov. If I disagree with you, I should shun you and no one should ever hire you again.
