How Do Average Joes Protect Their Assets in a Financial Crash?

In today's financial market, where's the best place for your money? Should you buy a house? What about investing in the stock market?

Danielle DiMartino Booth, former insider at the Federal Resserve and author of the book Fed Up: An Insider's Take on Why the Federal Reserve is Bad for America, joined Glenn in studio to help navigate the tricky waters of protecting your assets.

Enjoy the complimentary clip or read the transcript for details.

PAT: So, Danielle, how does the average American prepare for something like that? How do we --

DANIELLE: I would rather be early than wrong. I would rather have my powder be dry.

GLENN: Would you buy a house today?

DANIELLE: It really would depend at what level. I bring the private equity kingpins back. They've been allowed to run rampant through our neighbors in America, buy up all of these foreclosures, and they've crowded out your natural first time home buyer. So home prices have been run right back up.

GLENN: In the evening place like Texas where it's nothing but growth, growth, growth, growth for Texas.

DANIELLE: Well, we've grown, grown, grown, grown, that's true. But now our residential real estate prices have played a nice little game of catch up.

PAT: Would you take your money out of the bank while you still can?

DANIELLE: I don't think we're there.

GLENN: We're headed on that.

PAT: I would take my money out of the casino. Yes.

GLENN: Meaning the stock market.

DANIELLE: Yes.

PAT: Uh-huh.

DANIELLE: And the bond market. People do not understand how overvalued stocks and bonds are much more overvalued.

GLENN: Where do you put it? Just in a bank?

DANIELLE: You keep talking about safes. But there are very decent places that you can put your cash and get a little bit of return and try to hang steady with inflation.

GLENN: Is there anything to say for -- like I do banking with a local bank who doesn't sell my mortgage, they hold it, you know. I went to the local mom and pop.

DANIELLE: A traditional bank.

GLENN: Correct. Or what kind of loans do you make? And they're very, very rigid. Do you look at that? Or a credit union as a place that you can trust more than -- like Citi or any of these bigger groups?

DANIELLE: I think the world as we know it will end if one of these gigantic banks go away. Do you really see one of these lobbyists standing still for that?

GLENN: No.

DANIELLE: I'm just asking.

[Laughter]

GLENN: Yeah, no, I don't. So one more thought.

It used to be that people like Warren Buffett were the heroes. And people like Warren Buffett, he -- I mean, he's still living in the same house. He's still married to the same woman. He's still, you know -- yes, he has a Boeing business jet, but he is -- he could easily be --

PAT: Drives an old truck, all of those kinds of things, supposedly.

GLENN: He could be mistaken for a middle class guy, if you didn't know it was Warren Buffett. Same guy with Walton.

PAT: Sam Walton.

GLENN: That's a different era. Now, everyone wants to live like the Kardashians.

DANIELLE: Flash is the new black. Glenn, you have to flaunt it. Wear it.

GLENN: So everybody is up there and everybody think so they deserve that lifestyle.

DANIELLE: That's what being entitled is all about.

WATCH: Jan. 6 FALLOUT: Biden's Domestic Terrorism Threat Is YOU

The Capitol riot was foolish and tragic, but Pelosi's Select Committee "investigation" on the January 6 "insurrection" has devolved into a show trial complete with bad tears and bad acting. But this is just a charade designed to distract us.

What's going on behind closed doors is truly nefarious. The Biden White House and the U.S. national security apparatus are seizing that event to redefine domestic terrorism and expand the powers of government to prevent it. There is an alarming blueprint for sweeping government action called the "National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism," put together by the National Security Council.

On his Wednesday night special this week, Glenn Beck exposes the collusion between the Biden administration and Big Tech to surveil, root out, and silence America's deplorables – all in the name of national security.

'They've taken away the symbol of the American flag': Restaurant owner speaks out after being FINED for flying flags on July 4

Terry Trobiani owns Gianelli's Drive Thru in Prairie Grove, Illinois, where he put up a row of American flags for the Fourth of July. But the city claimed he was displaying two of them improperly and issued him a $100 ticket for each flag.

Terry joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday to explain what he believes really happened. He told Glenn that, according to city ordinance, the American flag is considered "ornamental" and should therefore have been permitted on a federal holiday. But the city has now classified the flag as a "sign."

"Apparently, the village of Prairie Grove has classified the American flag as a sign and they've taken away the symbol of the American flag," Terry said. "So, as a sign, it falls under their temporary sign ordinance, which prohibits any flying, or any positioning of signs on your property — and now this includes the American flag. [...] The only way I could fly the American flag on my property is if I put it on a permanent 20 to 30-foot flagpole, which they have to permit."

Terry went on to explain how the city is now demanding an apology for his actions, and all after more than a year of small-business crushing COVID restrictions and government mandates.

"COVID was tough," Terry stated. "You know, we're in the restaurant business. COVID was tough on us. We succeeded. We made it through. We cut a lot of things, but we never cut an employee. We paid all our employees. I didn't take a paycheck for a year just to keep our employees on, because it was that important to me to keep things going. And, you know, you fight for a year, and you beat a pandemic, and then you have this little municipality with five trustees and a president, who just have no respect for small businesses. And right now, what I see is they have no respect for the republic and the United States ... I think it's terrible. The direction that government, at all levels, have taken us to this point, it's despicable."

Glenn says we’re at a possible TURNING POINT toward dictatorship

Glenn says we're at exactly the same place so many countries have faced before: a turning point possibly towards dictatorship. It may not end that way — but it's time we WAKE UP and realize that's where we're heading. Eric Clapton is now facing cancelation, and if the far left can do that to a rock n roll LEGEND, what can they do to you?

Refugee: 'American Wokeism Worse Than North Korea' | Yeonmi Park | Ep 111

Yeonmi Park experienced freedom for the first time at 13, when she watched "Titanic." She didn't see it in a plush movie theater seat; she watched it over the course of several days because electricity is sporadic in North Korea, where she grew up. "We don't have a word for oppression," Yeonmi tells Glenn. "There is no hope. There is no moving forward. You are doomed." Against unbelievable odds, Yeonmi escaped and eventually made it to New York City. Then, she went to Columbia University, where she couldn't believe how American students defined "oppression." She and Glenn discuss the ridiculousness of pronoun checks, the consequences of White House-led censorship, the importance of the Second Amendment, the authoritarianism of Big Tech, and the insanity of corporations' love affair with China. But even more shockingly, she explains her fear that where her new country is heading could be worse than what she escaped: "Even North Korea wasn't as crazy as American wokeism."
