Glenn's Show Prep

Three signs we are on the road to World War 3

March 10, 2015
Wilson

Writer

Last night, Glenn laid out the connections between ISIS and Russia. Both are placing the world on a path towards World War 3, and it may not be long until they come together to set the world on fire. Glenn brought out the chalkboard to show what has happened so far, and laid out three things yet to come that should serve as warning signs of trouble on the horizon: a call to arms, global depression, and disenfranchised youth.

Below is a transcript of this segment. To watch the full thing and see Glenn lay out the theory on the chalkboard, sign up for TheBlaze TV and watch the episode HERE

Tonight, I want to lay out some things for you. I want to lay out the globe on a warpath. I feel like we should do this and kind of beat this over our heads here for a while until you really understand it and until we can all kind of parrot it back and share it with our friends, because this is the next step. We had the caliphate established, and this is the next step in some really disturbing things, because we are, I believe, on the verge of World War III, or actually we may actually have already been in the beginning of it, but we don’t notice it yet.

There are two primary movements that are steering us down this path, and I’ll dive into those here in just a minute, but we’re missing the boat all over the world. There are some really disturbing things that will come down the path that you need to know about in advance, because we can’t miss things like we missed in December 2010.

This was the beginning of it, and I talked about it when I was at FOX. A municipal inspector in Tunisia making the usual rounds and assessing the usual fines for noncompliance, she attempted to shut down a 26-year-old fruit cart vendor. She had no idea the chain reaction she was about to cause.

The vendor began to resist. The inspector slapped him in the face, humiliated him, and apparently at wits’ end, he doused himself with paint thinner and set himself on fire. The witnesses nearby watched in horror, and they had no idea, no clue. When I said this at the beginning that this would be the moment that would set the Middle East on fire, everybody said that was nuts. It was the beginning of a revolution.

When he died on January 4, the protests grew even larger. By January 14, Tunisia’s president had been ousted. I want to just stop here for just a second, and I want you to listen to me. I want you to notice that it was people who were pushed to wits’ end by a big government, that it was a seemingly stupid altercation. It was somebody saying I can’t take it anymore and doing something violent, in this case to themselves. The world looked on. The person died, and within months the Arab Spring was setting the entire Middle East on fire.

Now, Islamic radicals like ISIS are on the march, trying to usher in the caliphate which they have established. The president has said ISIS has nothing to do with Islam, but that also couldn’t be more wrong. If you plot ISIS and their moves, you will see that they neatly line up with end times Islamic prophecy, and this is where we have to start. These are radical Islamists, and they believe that there are only 12 legitimate leaders of the caliphate, caliphs. We’re on leader number eight.

So, the first thing I want to tell you about on the road to World War III that you really need to understand is we are dealing with the caliphate, with 12 imams. We’ve talked about this so many times before. These are indeed end times people. They believe the armies of Rome, and that’s important to remember that. Let me write that up. The armies of Rome are going to fight the army of Islam in Syria, and that their final war will be in Jerusalem. Does any of that sound familiar to you?

After ISIS beheaded Christians in Libya, they predicted the victory against Rome. I want you to watch this.

VIDEO

Okay, why Rome? Why Rome? Because this is a holy war. Whether you like it or not, whether we want to admit it, it is a holy war. Rome, they’re going back to the Crusades, but they also may be going back to the future. They’ve made this claim repeatedly. They have said, “We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women, by the permission of Allah, the Exalted.”

That quote actually comes from a magazine, an important word to know, Dabiq. I think that’s how you pronounce it. This is really important. It doesn’t seem important. It’s just a little farming town in Syria. ISIS recently had a victory in this little farming town. It’s seemingly strategically irrelevant, so why bother? Because this is the place where a big battle happens, the future battle between Islam and Rome is supposed to take place.

Let me show you what it says in their magazine. “As for the name of the magazine, it is taken from the area name Dabiq in the northern countryside of Halab (Aleppo) in Sham. This place was mentioned in the hadith describing some of the events of the Malahim (what is sometimes referred to as Armageddon in English). One of the greatest battles between the Muslims and the crusaders will take place near Dabiq.” This is Armageddon.

Now, that’s who they think they are. With every move they make, they are trying to bring about the end of the world according to the Islamic faith. So, whether you like it, the president likes it, or I like it, it doesn’t matter. It has everything to do with Islam the way these people understand this. Whenever you want to say about their version of Islam, it is Islam to them, and these Islamic jihadists are using now new technology to call every idle and disenfranchised youth who are looking for anything to believe in to join them.

Remember the disenfranchised youth, because it’s going to play a very important role in the future. It’s working. The amount of foreign fighters now flocking to ISIS is baffling experts everywhere. It shouldn’t be. Two teenage brothers were just caught trying to leave Australia to go fight with ISIS. The government knows of at least 90 citizens now who are currently fighting for ISIS, and it’s going to continue to spread, but ISIS is only half of the battle. If you’re going on the road to World War III, radical Islam is part one. Hard Fascism is the other side.

If you remember right, in World War II, we had the Fascists and the Communists. That’s really what this is. They’re both Fascists, if you will, but these two will eventually, I believe, oppose one another. I hope so. If they don’t, we’re really screwed. The rise of Fascism and totalitarianism is happening now all across Europe, and let me take you to Europe.

First we go to the Nazis in Greece, the Golden Dawn party. They’re winning elections. Italy, also now has a huge right North League party. It’s polling at about 14%. In France, you have the Le Pen party, the National Front, and the Prime Minister of France just said that Le Pen is on the way to become president. Denmark, the Danish People’s Party, and they doubled their seats in the European Parliament and have a 27% popularity in their home nation.

PEGIDA and Golden Dawn have both launched branches also in Spain, so there’s competing Nazis in Spain. Spain suffered a huge terrorist attack, if you remember, in 2004, killed 191 people, and resentment against the immigrant population continues to escalate. PEGIDA also continues to grow in Germany, and immigrant populations play a role there. Vienna is where VICE recently spoke to one of the protesters. Listen to this from Vienna.

M: We Serbs have witnessed the Islamization. I won’t allow my brothers—and I consider Austrians, Germans, Russians, French, and English, all whites, I consider as my brothers. I don’t want them to experience the same thing [Islamization]. Because of that, I will fight for this country. And for the whole of Europe, until the last drop of my blood.”

Got it? Sounds good. They’re getting support from all over the world, but the real key that you need to know is the hard Fascists that are supporting these guys in these countries that come from Russia. The head of the problem in Europe…I mean in the Middle East is ISIS and Iran, and the head of the Fascists, I believe, is in Russia. Meanwhile Le Pen and other far right European leaders are lining up against these guys and their efforts to rebuild, and this is really important that you know this, hard Fascism. Russia is trying to rebuild the third Roman Empire. Roman is the key.

This is all based on Russia’s history of the Orthodox Church, whose center is in Crimea, and they’re using that to stir nationalism. There are two primary movements driving things into the dangerous direction. There is hard Fascism and radical Islam, but unfortunately there is also the rise of soft Fascism.

Soft Fascism is what we see now with bank bailouts, where the only time that I’ve ever heard anybody forced to take a loan at a bank is when the treasury did it to the banks and said you have to take the bank bailouts. The NSA, the IRS, and this is also in Great Britain and the West, and it’s all based on security. It’s gaining a foothold because they’re saying we have security concerns, we have safety concerns.

The police commissioner in Great Britain is recommending that everyone put a camera in their home so you can stop crime. The NSA, the DHS, has abused the Fourth Amendment, and now we’re playing the national security trump card in the face of scrutiny, so you can’t actually get down to anything because DHS is saying it’s all about national security.

Now, this is real. The caliphate is real. They are end times. They’re in a holy war. They want to fight the armies of Rome. That has not come together yet. They are here in the place where they say Armageddon will be…will happen. I told you when I was at FOX about this. Everyone said it was madness. I remember being roundly scorned for saying that Nazi-ism and Fascism would rise again. This has happened now in Greece, Italy, France, Denmark, Spain, Germany, and Vienna.

Russia is putting the third Roman Empire together, and we now have soft Fascism. I told you soft Fascism would rise. Here it is. These things have not happened yet, but they’re about to. I’ll give you this. I don’t know which direction, and I don’t know the time and order. I have no idea when this will happen and which order they come, but these are the things you must be wary of.

Call to arms, that is anyone who is saying we’ve got to get our army together, and we’ve got to go fight these guys or these guys. We don’t. It will suck the entire globe into a game-changing series of cataclysmic events. This is coming, and if we call to arms before the world becomes educated and admits the truth of who these guys are and who these guys are, we lose.

Yes, it is about Islam, the way they understand it. Yes, it is about hate and bigotry, the way they understand it. It is about big government, strongmen, Fascism, totalitarianism. You’ll notice there is no freedom on this road. Nobody is talking about real freedom. The best is soft Fascism. It’s not random evil, and I warn you not to advocate a rush to arms before the full globe understands what it really is doing and what it’s up against.

I’m going to give you two other things, and again, I don’t know the time and the order. Call to arms, global depression, and disenfranchised youth. I think they are going to happen one, two, three. These two will come quickly. I think we could see a call to arms by the summer, because this is going to get out of control. This is already getting out of control. I don’t know, I’m always horrible on time.

A global depression, I think it happens after the election. We are talking massive unemployment globally. That will set the youth on fire. They will be all for soft Fascism, and the road to hell is paved.

Now, that’s the theory that we want to lay out to you and try to reinforce every day, because I think you need to know. I don’t know anybody on television who is telling you this stuff, and they’re going to mock and whatever. If anybody happens to see it, they will mock, and that’s fine. That’s fine. I’m telling you it’s going to look not like this. I think it’s going to look a lot like this, but you do your own homework. You watch for the signs. We’ll watch them here.

Is the U.N. plotting to control 30% of U.S. land by 2030?

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

A reliable conservative senator faces cancellation for listening to voters. But the real threat to public lands comes from the last president’s backdoor globalist agenda.

Something ugly is unfolding on social media, and most people aren’t seeing it clearly. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) — one of the most constitutionally grounded conservatives in Washington — is under fire for a housing provision he first proposed in 2022.

You wouldn’t know that from scrolling through X. According to the latest online frenzy, Lee wants to sell off national parks, bulldoze public lands, gut hunting and fishing rights, and hand America’s wilderness to Amazon, BlackRock, and the Chinese Communist Party. None of that is true.

Lee’s bill would have protected against the massive land-grab that’s already under way — courtesy of the Biden administration.

I covered this last month. Since then, the backlash has grown into something like a political witch hunt — not just from the left but from the right. Even Donald Trump Jr., someone I typically agree with, has attacked Lee’s proposal. He’s not alone.

Time to look at the facts the media refuses to cover about Lee’s federal land plan.

What Lee actually proposed

Over the weekend, Lee announced that he would withdraw the federal land sale provision from his housing bill. He said the decision was in response to “a tremendous amount of misinformation — and in some cases, outright lies,” but also acknowledged that many Americans brought forward sincere, thoughtful concerns.

Because of the strict rules surrounding the budget reconciliation process, Lee couldn’t secure legally enforceable protections to ensure that the land would be made available “only to American families — not to China, not to BlackRock, and not to any foreign interests.” Without those safeguards, he chose to walk it back.

That’s not selling out. That’s leadership.

It's what the legislative process is supposed to look like: A senator proposes a bill, the people respond, and the lawmaker listens. That was once known as representative democracy. These days, it gets you labeled a globalist sellout.

The Biden land-grab

To many Americans, “public land” brings to mind open spaces for hunting, fishing, hiking, and recreation. But that’s not what Sen. Mike Lee’s bill targeted.

His proposal would have protected against the real land-grab already under way — the one pushed by the Biden administration.

In 2021, Biden launched a plan to “conserve” 30% of America’s lands and waters by 2030. This effort follows the United Nations-backed “30 by 30” initiative, which seeks to place one-third of all land and water under government control.

Ask yourself: Is the U.N. focused on preserving your right to hunt and fish? Or are radical environmentalists exploiting climate fears to restrict your access to American land?

As it stands, the federal government already owns 640 million acres — nearly one-third of the entire country. At this rate, the government will hit that 30% benchmark with ease. But it doesn’t end there. The next phase is already in play: the “50 by 50” agenda.

That brings me to a piece of legislation most Americans haven’t even heard of: the Sustains Act.

Passed in 2023, the law allows the federal government to accept private funding from organizations, such as BlackRock or the Bill Gates Foundation, to support “conservation programs.” In practice, the law enables wealthy elites to buy influence over how American land is used and managed.

Moreover, the government doesn’t even need the landowner’s permission to declare that your property contributes to “pollination,” or “photosynthesis,” or “air quality” — and then regulate it accordingly. You could wake up one morning and find out that the land you own no longer belongs to you in any meaningful sense.

Where was the outrage then? Where were the online crusaders when private capital and federal bureaucrats teamed up to quietly erode private property rights across America?

American families pay the price

The real danger isn’t in Mike Lee’s attempt to offer more housing near population centers — land that would be limited, clarified, and safeguarded in the final bill. The real threat is the creeping partnership between unelected global elites and our own government, a partnership designed to consolidate land, control rural development, and keep Americans penned in so-called “15-minute cities.”

BlackRock buying entire neighborhoods and pricing out regular families isn’t by accident. It’s part of a larger strategy to centralize populations into manageable zones, where cars are unnecessary, rural living is unaffordable, and every facet of life is tracked, regulated, and optimized.

That’s the real agenda. And it’s already happening , and Mike Lee’s bill would have been an effort to ensure that you — not BlackRock, not China — get first dibs.

I live in a town of 451 people. Even here, in the middle of nowhere, housing is unaffordable. The American dream of owning a patch of land is slipping away, not because of one proposal from a constitutional conservative, but because global powers and their political allies are already devouring it.

Divide and conquer

This controversy isn’t really about Mike Lee. It’s about whether we, as a nation, are still capable of having honest debates about public policy — or whether the online mob now controls the narrative. It’s about whether conservatives will focus on facts or fall into the trap of friendly fire and circular firing squads.

More importantly, it’s about whether we’ll recognize the real land-grab happening in our country — and have the courage to fight back before it’s too late.

URGENT: FIVE steps to CONTROL AI before it's too late!

MANAURE QUINTERO / Contributor | Getty Images

By now, many of us are familiar with AI and its potential benefits and threats. However, unless you're a tech tycoon, it can feel like you have little influence over the future of artificial intelligence.

For years, Glenn has warned about the dangers of rapidly developing AI technologies that have taken the world by storm.

He acknowledges their significant benefits but emphasizes the need to establish proper boundaries and ethics now, while we still have control. But since most people aren’t Silicon Valley tech leaders making the decisions, how can they help keep AI in check?

Recently, Glenn interviewed Tristan Harris, a tech ethicist deeply concerned about the potential harm of unchecked AI, to discuss its societal implications. Harris highlighted a concerning new piece of legislation proposed by Texas Senator Ted Cruz. This legislation proposes a state-level moratorium on AI regulation, meaning only the federal government could regulate AI. Harris noted that there’s currently no Federal plan for regulating AI. Until the federal government establishes a plan, tech companies would have nearly free rein with their AI. And we all know how slowly the federal government moves.

This is where you come in. Tristan Harris shared with Glenn the top five actions you should urge your representatives to take regarding AI, including opposing the moratorium until a concrete plan is in place. Now is your chance to influence the future of AI. Contact your senator and congressman today and share these five crucial steps they must take to keep AI in check:

Ban engagement-optimized AI companions for kids

Create legislation that will prevent AI from being designed to maximize addiction, sexualization, flattery, and attachment disorders, and to protect young people’s mental health and ability to form real-life friendships.

Establish basic liability laws

Companies need to be held accountable when their products cause real-world harm.

Pass increased whistleblower protections

Protect concerned technologists working inside the AI labs from facing untenable pressures and threats that prevent them from warning the public when the AI rollout is unsafe or crosses dangerous red lines.

Prevent AI from having legal rights

Enact laws so AIs don’t have protected speech or have their own bank accounts, making sure our legal system works for human interests over AI interests.

Oppose the state moratorium on AI 

Call your congressman or Senator Cruz’s office, and demand they oppose the state moratorium on AI without a plan for how we will set guardrails for this technology.

Glenn: Only Trump dared to deliver on decades of empty promises

The Islamic regime has been killing Americans since 1979. Now Trump’s response proves we’re no longer playing defense — we’re finally hitting back.

The United States has taken direct military action against Iran’s nuclear program. Whatever you think of the strike, it’s over. It’s happened. And now, we have to predict what happens next. I want to help you understand the gravity of this situation: what happened, what it means, and what might come next. To that end, we need to begin with a little history.

Since 1979, Iran has been at war with us — even if we refused to call it that.

We are either on the verge of a remarkable strategic victory or a devastating global escalation. Time will tell.

It began with the hostage crisis, when 66 Americans were seized and 52 were held for over a year by the radical Islamic regime. Four years later, 17 more Americans were murdered in the U.S. Embassy bombing in Beirut, followed by 241 Marines in the Beirut barracks bombing.

Then came the Khobar Towers bombing in 1996, which killed 19 more U.S. airmen. Iran had its fingerprints all over it.

In Iraq and Afghanistan, Iranian-backed proxies killed hundreds of American soldiers. From 2001 to 2020 in Afghanistan and 2003 to 2011 in Iraq, Iran supplied IEDs and tactical support.

The Iranians have plotted assassinations and kidnappings on U.S. soil — in 2011, 2021, and again in 2024 — and yet we’ve never really responded.

The precedent for U.S. retaliation has always been present, but no president has chosen to pull the trigger until this past weekend. President Donald Trump struck decisively. And what our military pulled off this weekend was nothing short of extraordinary.

Operation Midnight Hammer

The strike was reportedly called Operation Midnight Hammer. It involved as many as 175 U.S. aircraft, including 12 B-2 stealth bombers — out of just 19 in our entire arsenal. Those bombers are among the most complex machines in the world, and they were kept mission-ready by some of the finest mechanics on the planet.

To throw off Iranian radar and intelligence, some bombers flew west toward Guam — classic misdirection. The rest flew east, toward the real targets.

As the B-2s approached Iranian airspace, U.S. submarines launched dozens of Tomahawk missiles at Iran’s fortified nuclear facilities. Minutes later, the bombers dropped 14 MOPs — massive ordnance penetrators — each designed to drill deep into the earth and destroy underground bunkers. These bombs are the size of an F-16 and cost millions of dollars apiece. They are so accurate, I’ve been told they can hit the top of a soda can from 15,000 feet.

They were built for this mission — and we’ve been rehearsing this run for 15 years.

If the satellite imagery is accurate — and if what my sources tell me is true — the targeted nuclear sites were utterly destroyed. We’ll likely rely on the Israelis to confirm that on the ground.

This was a master class in strategy, execution, and deterrence. And it proved that only the United States could carry out a strike like this. I am very proud of our military, what we are capable of doing, and what we can accomplish.

What comes next

We don’t yet know how Iran will respond, but many of the possibilities are troubling. The Iranians could target U.S. forces across the Middle East. On Monday, Tehran launched 20 missiles at U.S. bases in Qatar, Syria, and Kuwait, to no effect. God forbid, they could also unleash Hezbollah or other terrorist proxies to strike here at home — and they just might.

Iran has also threatened to shut down the Strait of Hormuz — the artery through which nearly a fifth of the world’s oil flows. On Sunday, Iran’s parliament voted to begin the process. If the Supreme Council and the ayatollah give the go-ahead, we could see oil prices spike to $150 or even $200 a barrel.

That would be catastrophic.

The 2008 financial collapse was pushed over the edge when oil hit $130. Western economies — including ours — simply cannot sustain oil above $120 for long. If this conflict escalates and the Strait is closed, the global economy could unravel.

The strike also raises questions about regime stability. Will it spark an uprising, or will the Islamic regime respond with a brutal crackdown on dissidents?

Early signs aren’t hopeful. Reports suggest hundreds of arrests over the weekend and at least one dissident executed on charges of spying for Israel. The regime’s infamous morality police, the Gasht-e Ershad, are back on the streets. Every phone, every vehicle — monitored. The U.S. embassy in Qatar issued a shelter-in-place warning for Americans.

Russia and China both condemned the strike. On Monday, a senior Iranian official flew to Moscow to meet with Vladimir Putin. That meeting should alarm anyone paying attention. Their alliance continues to deepen — and that’s a serious concern.

Now we pray

We are either on the verge of a remarkable strategic victory or a devastating global escalation. Time will tell. But either way, President Trump didn’t start this. He inherited it — and he took decisive action.

The difference is, he did what they all said they would do. He didn’t send pallets of cash in the dead of night. He didn’t sign another failed treaty.

He acted. Now, we pray. For peace, for wisdom, and for the strength to meet whatever comes next.

Globalize the Intifada? Why Mamdani’s plan spells DOOM for America

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

If New Yorkers hand City Hall to Zohran Mamdani, they’re not voting for change. They’re opening the door to an alliance of socialism, Islamism, and chaos.

It only took 25 years for New York City to go from the resilient, flag-waving pride following the 9/11 attacks to a political fever dream. To quote Michael Malice, “I'm old enough to remember when New Yorkers endured 9/11 instead of voting for it.”

Malice is talking about Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist assemblyman from Queens now eyeing the mayor’s office. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state representative emerging from relative political obscurity, is now receiving substantial funding for his mayoral campaign from the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

CAIR has a long and concerning history, including being born out of the Muslim Brotherhood and named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror funding case. Why would the group have dropped $100,000 into a PAC backing Mamdani’s campaign?

Mamdani blends political Islam with Marxist economics — two ideologies that have left tens of millions dead in the 20th century alone.

Perhaps CAIR has a vested interest in Mamdani’s call to “globalize the intifada.” That’s not a call for peaceful protest. Intifada refers to historic uprisings of Muslims against what they call the “Israeli occupation of Palestine.” Suicide bombings and street violence are part of the playbook. So when Mamdani says he wants to “globalize” that, who exactly is the enemy in this global scenario? Because it sure sounds like he's saying America is the new Israel, and anyone who supports Western democracy is the new Zionist.

Mamdani tried to clean up his language by citing the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, which once used “intifada” in an Arabic-language article to describe the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. So now he’s comparing Palestinians to Jewish victims of the Nazis? If that doesn’t twist your stomach into knots, you’re not paying attention.

If you’re “globalizing” an intifada, and positioning Israel — and now America — as the Nazis, that’s not a cry for human rights. That’s a call for chaos and violence.

Rising Islamism

But hey, this is New York. Faculty members at Columbia University — where Mamdani’s own father once worked — signed a letter defending students who supported Hamas after October 7. They also contributed to Mamdani’s mayoral campaign. And his father? He blamed Ronald Reagan and the religious right for inspiring Islamic terrorism, as if the roots of 9/11 grew in Washington, not the caves of Tora Bora.

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

This isn’t about Islam as a faith. We should distinguish between Islam and Islamism. Islam is a religion followed peacefully by millions. Islamism is something entirely different — an ideology that seeks to merge mosque and state, impose Sharia law, and destroy secular liberal democracies from within. Islamism isn’t about prayer and fasting. It’s about power.

Criticizing Islamism is not Islamophobia. It is not an attack on peaceful Muslims. In fact, Muslims are often its first victims.

Islamism is misogynistic, theocratic, violent, and supremacist. It’s hostile to free speech, religious pluralism, gay rights, secularism — even to moderate Muslims. Yet somehow, the progressive left — the same left that claims to fight for feminism, LGBTQ rights, and free expression — finds itself defending candidates like Mamdani. You can’t make this stuff up.

Blending the worst ideologies

And if that weren’t enough, Mamdani also identifies as a Democratic Socialist. He blends political Islam with Marxist economics — two ideologies that have left tens of millions dead in the 20th century alone. But don’t worry, New York. I’m sure this time socialism will totally work. Just like it always didn’t.

If you’re a business owner, a parent, a person who’s saved anything, or just someone who values sanity: Get out. I’m serious. If Mamdani becomes mayor, as seems likely, then New York City will become a case study in what happens when you marry ideological extremism with political power. And it won’t be pretty.

This is about more than one mayoral race. It’s about the future of Western liberalism. It’s about drawing a bright line between faith and fanaticism, between healthy pluralism and authoritarian dogma.

Call out radicalism

We must call out political Islam the same way we call out white nationalism or any other supremacist ideology. When someone chants “globalize the intifada,” that should send a chill down your spine — whether you’re Jewish, Christian, Muslim, atheist, or anything in between.

The left may try to shame you into silence with words like “Islamophobia,” but the record is worn out. The grooves are shallow. The American people see what’s happening. And we’re not buying it.
