Glenn Shares a Heartbreaking Story From a Human Trafficking Survivor He Met

Glenn Beck spoke about his experience going down to Mexico over the weekend to work with Operation Underground Railroad on radio Monday. He met with up-and-coming businesswomen who didn’t let their history of being trapped as sex slaves stop them from being forces of nature.

“These are powerful, powerful women,” he said.

One woman was sold into sex slavery at just 12 years old by a man who promised he would marry her and protect her from her abusive family. During a five-year period, she was raped by dozens of “clients” per day and forced to have abortions when it resulted in pregnancies. Now at 20, she is a mom after begging to be allowed to keep her baby after three abortions.

“He only let her keep the baby, she found later, because he had more control over her,” Glenn told the horrifying story.

Ultimately, her story is one of hope because of her incredible strength and resilience.

“This woman has gone through everything, and she’s not crying,” Glenn said. “She’s getting on with her life, and she’s making a profound difference with her life.’

GLENN: Hello, America. I was -- I was in Mexico this weekend with Operation Underground Railroad. That is the antisex trafficking operation that we helped fund. This audience really puts into action. They have saved people all over the world.

This time -- I know that we have some operations going on, but I also spoke to a couple of people -- several people, but two in particular. And I want to bring this home to the statues and now the crying Nazi here in America.

I spent the weekend with some truly remarkable people who I'm going to introduce you to in the coming days. These are powerful, powerful women. Some of them in the Mexican version of Forbes magazine. I think six of them named Mexico's 100 powerful women -- most powerful women. Six of them were from slavery.

People that were told that were powerless their entire life, literally. One woman, Carlita, who I met, her mother used to beat her. Her -- her uncle, starting at five, would rape her. At 11, she ran away from home. At 12, she was in the arms of a -- of a 20-year-old who said he loved her and would marry and take her away and had nothing to fear and then sold her into slavery and would beat her. Would burn her with an iron. She came back one time, and a guy left a hickey on her neck. And so he said, "Oh, you're getting hot with the clients, I'll show you what hot is," and did unspeakable things with an iron. But he didn't just stop there: He made her have abortions so the very next day she could go out and perform up to 60 men a day, every day, for five years.

Her daughter was born -- this is after three abortions. She begged him, "Please -- it was her -- his child. He would rape her. And it was his child.

And he only let her keep the baby, she found out later, because he had more control over her. And then he would begin to burn the child.

This woman is one of the strongest women I've ever seen in my life. She's 20 now. She's 20.

And there is no messing with this woman. She was in a meeting -- and I'm going to introduce you to her. When you see her whole story, it will blow your mind. She was in a meeting, asked to speak at the Vatican. She was in a meeting with main, I think European rabbi. The pope, who was Pope Francis. I think the Dalai Lama was there. The -- what was it? The Hindu nun that is the hugging nun. I don't know if you've ever seen her before. But all of these leaders. The Grand Mufti from Iran was even there. All of them -- every religion, all to hear her speak. And about halfway through, she stopped and she looked at them and she said, "You know what, I think I need to pray for you." And the pope was like, "Okay." And she prayed for them, not the other way around.

This woman has gone through everything, and she's not crying. She's getting on with her life. And she's making a profound difference with her life. Another woman I met was a labor slave, which is happening here in America. We just don't want to hear about it. It's happening in Virginia, is one of the hotbeds. Our government won't look into it because the Saudi Arabians are involved.

Slavery is happening in California, mainly with Asians that are shipped over here in cargo bins and they're brought over here to the United States and they're sold to Americans to be slaves.

This woman was a labor slave in a dry cleaning place. What's a labor slave?

Well, she actually had a chain around her neck and a chain around her waist. She was a labor slave for four years. The last two -- I can't tell you the number of broomsticks that they broke over her head, beating her.

They also did wonderful things with an iron. She had to iron 20 hours a day. She slept standing up. She was only allowed to go to the bathroom every two days. Only allowed to go to the bathroom every two days. I don't even know how that works. But if she did go to the bathroom, they would beat her. But she didn't really have to worry about it because by the end of it, she was drinking the water out of the iron and eating the dry cleaning bags because she had nothing else.

They pulled almost all of her hair out. Her scars from the torture and from the actual chain around her neck and chain around her waist, the scars are still there.

You'd never know it.

I spend Saturday with them, and then I go home to the hotel and I turn on the TV. And we're talking about the freaking statues? How embarrassing.

Your life is affected by a statue? You're pathetic. You better hope that Darwin is not right. Because if he's right, they're stapling a tailback on the back end of you.

You can't handle the statue? Who the hell looks at those statues and says anything other than, "What the hell is that? Why? Why do we have that guy up there?"

"I was so crippled. I just couldn't function."

Oh, my gosh. Get a grip, America. Is this really what we've turned into, a bunch of sniveling brats?

"Mom, where are my cookies?"

Let me play -- let me play -- do you remember last week, the audio of the Nazi that was saying junk about Donald Trump? Remember how tough he was?

Listen to -- listen to him spout off now about Donald Trump and his -- his Jewish son-in-law.

VOICE: I'm here to spread ideas, talk, in the hopes that somebody more capable will come along and do that, somebody like Donald Trump who does not give his daughter to a Jew.

VOICE: So Donald Trump, but, like, more racist?

VOICE: A lot more racist than Donald Trump. I don't think that you could feel about race the way I do and watch that Kushner bastard walk around with that beautiful girl, okay?

PAT: Tough guy. He's tough.

GLENN: Yeah, he is a tough guy. Until this weekend.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Now, here's how -- here's who you're afraid of, America. This is who you're afraid of.

Listen to him now, over the weekend, because they had an arrest warrant out for him.

VOICE: I contacted the local police. I called the Charlottesville Police Department. And I asked them -- I said, "I have been told there's a warrant out for my arrest." And they -- they said that they would confirm it. But I could find this out if I -- excuse me.

GLENN: He's crying. He's crying. He's crying.

VOICE: That I could find this out, if I wanted to go to the local magistrate or something like that. But with everything that's happening, I don't think it's wise for me to be, you know, going -- going anywhere. This is a state of emergency. The National Guard is here.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

VOICE: You know, so I don't think it's a good idea for me to go there, frankly.

And I don't -- I don't know what to do. I've emailed Steven Tenney of the Keene Police Department. (crying)

PAT: Uh-huh.

VOICE: Sorry.

PAT: It's okay.

GLENN: We're supposed to be afraid of this guy.

VOICE: I have emailed Steven Tenney of the Keene Police Department. He's one of the cops that came there. (crying)

He's one of the cops who saved my ass when I had to pull my gun in Keene.

GLENN: Okay.

VOICE: And I emailed him, and I said, "I don't know what to do. I need guidance. I want to be peaceful. I want to be law-abiding."

Okay? That was the whole entire point of this. And I'm watching CNN talk about this as "violent, white nationalist protests." We have done everything in our power to keep this peaceful.

PAT: Oh, no. This is sad. We have tried to be good Nazis. We've tried to do all the good Nazi things. (crying).

We tried to do the right Nazi stuff, and what happens? (crying)

It's getting to the point to where you can't even do good Nazi stuff in this country and get away with it. (crying)

GLENN: I cannot believe -- I cannot believe --

(chuckling)

PAT: That's amazing.

GLENN: -- that the Nazis overseas are going, "Good Lord, the American Nazis."

VOICE: You know, I know we talk a lot of (bleep) on the internet, right? But, like, literally Jason Kessler applied for a permit, like, months ago for this. Okay?

PAT: Okay.

VOICE: When they yanked our permit, we went to the ACLU, and we went to court and we won.

PAT: And we won. (crying)

VOICE: We've been coordinating with law enforcement the entire time. Every step of the way, we've tried to do the right thing.

And they just won't stop, you know. You know, we have done everything in our power. We have used every peaceful and -- and lawful means by which to redress our grievances.

GLENN: Stop.

We are the first people in human history who has members of the Nazi party leadership who are probably still on mommy and daddy's insurance!

We're supposed to be afraid of this guy? America, get a grip.

Get a grip. You white supremacists who think that whites are somehow superior over everybody else, oh, my gosh. Hello, Mr. 1849. Read a book.

All of -- all of you Antifa members, hello, Mr. 1920. You were all in the dustbin of history, and America rejects the communists and the Nazis. I think we did that about 1940.

I think you can read anything about the Nazis -- kindergarteners can read anything about the Nazis and know: They're pathetic. They're evil and pathetic.

If you think that's the answer, you better check yourself because you may be evil, but you're definitely pathetic. And the same thing -- let me just grab the big book, the Black Book of Communism. Why don't you read that for a day?

You Antifa members. Really? You can't even handle speech.

And for the rest of the country, you think you can stop these people? How are you going to stop the Nazis?

Our grandparents actually had a spine. Our grandparents actually worked for a living. Our grandparents actually did their best to be strong individuals.

What are we doing? We're offended by everything. We're offended by everything. I just don't know how I could possibly go on. I just don't know.

Do you know how ridiculous we look as a nation? Forget about the president. We got Nazis and communists running our lives. And it's maybe -- maybe 10 percent of the population. And 90 percent is cowering in the corner.

I'm not afraid of the Nazis. I'm not afraid of the communists.

We surround them. You know who I'm afraid of? Pathetic weaklings that cannot handle anything.

Let me tell you this: No one controls your story, but you. Your life is a blank piece of paper. Nobody writes anything on that paper, but you.

You want to be powerful, start believing in the power of the individual. Start believing in yourself. No statue -- oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Andrew Jackson, I see that statue. Do you know what he's saying about me?

No. Because it's a statue. And the actual Andrew Jackson has been dead!

Has THIS Islamist organization BROKEN state laws for YEARS?!

A new report accuses CAIR Action, the political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, of breaking state laws with its political activism. Glenn Beck reviews this story...

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So let me go over what is -- what's happening with -- with CAIR.

You know, the Founding Fathers were obsessed over accountability.

Because they knew one thing. You know, they did. They must get suggestions from people on, you know, through tweets. They studied every single system of government.

Every single republic that survived. That didn't survive.

Why didn't it survive?

They studied all forms of government. They were trying to come up with something that could -- could set people free.

And they -- they worked really hard on putting our checks and balances in place, because they knew, once power slips into the shadows. They knew, once power slips into the shadows, once influence becomes unmoored from law, what rises is not a republic.

It's a machine. And that's what you're seeing right now. We're not living in a republic. We're living in a machine.

We -- I think we're staring at one of the largest unregulated political machines operating in the United States ever! Okay.

There have been a couple of groups that are doing sweeping investigations, two watchdog groups. One of them is NCRI and the Intelligent Advocacy Network.

And they have concluded now that the political arm of CAIR, he known as CAIR action, has been operating nationwide with no legal authority, to do the things it has been doing for years now.

They're not allowed to raise money. They've been raising money. Coordinating political campaigns.

Not allowed to do it. Endorsing candidates. Not allowed to do it, they're doing it. Mobilizing voters, shaping policy, functioning as a national advocacy network.

They don't have the legal authority to do any of it. And no one has said anything.

Now, according to the report, CAIR action doesn't just have a paperwork problem.

Investigators found, state by state, that it lacks the license, the registrations. The charitable authorizations, required to legally solicit money.

Excuse me. Or conduct political activity, in any of the 22 states in which it operates. Think of that!

I know how serious this is, because I remember what it took to get the license in each and every state, for Mercury One.

So we could operate. We could raise money. We could do things in those states. It's a lot of work. And if you don't do it, you go to jail. And they find out pretty quickly.

Okay?

22 states, they operate not one, zero legal authorization.

In Washington, DC, the city where CAIR action is incorporated, the department of licensing and consumer protection told investigators, they have no record of CAIR action ever obtaining the basic business license required to solicit funds or to operate.

Imagine how long would you last in business, especially if you were controversial.

How long would you remain in business, if you never had a business license?

You think somebody would figure that out?

In a sooner time than I don't know. A couple of decades!

This report means, that the organization if true, is engaging in unlicensed inner state solicitation.

It has exposed itself to allegations as serious as deceptive solicitation. Wire fraud and false statements to the IRS. These are big things.

And this is not political rhetoric.

Are these phrases written in black and white. In the law.

And by investigators. In California, one of CAIR's most active hubs. The state attorney general has said, the state attorney general of California has said, same pattern here!

The state of California, to say, yep. That's what's happening here.

CAIR action has never registered with California's charitable registry.

Never filed the required CT1 form. And has no authorization whatsoever to request donations. But they've been doing it in California anyway.

Fundraising, selling memberships. Issuing endorsements. Mobilizing voters. All of that has been done by CAIR action. There's no record of any license. Any permission, ever. Going to CAIR. From California. That's according to their attorney general.

Wow!

That's pretty remarkable, huh? How does that happen?

It's not just the coast. It is also happening to the Midwest, the South, the Mountain West. Every state hosting its own CAIR action fundraising page, complete with the donate now and become a member portal, despite no trace of the legal filings required to operate. That's bad!

Now, here's where the stakes rise.

Because CAIR action presents itself openly, as the political arm of CAIR National.

Investigators are now warning that any unauthorized fundraising or political activity.

Could become CAIR's national responsibility as well.

So, in other words, the parent, CAIR itself, might be held responsible.

Meaning, this is want just a rogue subdivision.

This could implicate the entire National Organization of CAIR.

Now, this is happening at the same time it's coming under national scrutiny. It's also Texas.

And I think Florida have designated the group a foreign terrorist organization. Members of Congress are now asking the IRS, the Treasury, the Department of Education to investigate all of its partnerships, all of its financing, all of its influence operations. I mean, I think they're going to be in trouble.

How long have we been saying this?

But every time, I have pointed out anything about CAIR, I have been called an Islamophobe, which shuts everything down. That is a word, developed by people like CAIR, to shut people down, so you'll never look into them.

So what happens next?

First of all, the reports have to hold up.

Regulators now have an obligation. Not a choice. An obligation to act!

State attorneys general in these 22 states, they might pursue fines, injunctions, criminal referrals.

All of them need to take action!

The IRS, needs to take action. Investigate tax exempt fraud. Treasury Department may review foreign influence or money flow violations.

Anything coming from overseas.

Oh, I can't imagine it. They're so buttoned up, right now.

DC regulators may determine whether CAIR actions entire fundraising operation has been unlawful from the beginning.

But here's the deeper question. And it's not bureaucratic. This one is constitutional.

Can the United States tolerate an influence machine, that operates outside of the legal framework, designed to prevent corruption, foreign leverage, and untraceable money?

If I hear one more time, talking about how AIPAC has just got to be investigated. Fine. Investigate.

I'm not against it.

Investigate.

Why aren't you saying anything about CAIR?

It feels like it might be a tool in the hands of a foreign operation.

Why aren't you saying anything about this?

Because here it is! It's not like, hey. I wonder why.

This is it! This is it! This isn't about silencing CAIR. Muslim Americans are -- that are full citizens, they have every right to speak. Every right to vote. Every right to organize. Participate in public life. No question! They can disagree with me, all they want.

But no organization. None! Not mine. Not yours. Not theirs. None. Should operate a nationwide political network, in the shadows and be immune from all of the guardrails that every other group must follow!

That's called a fourth branch of government!

That's how a fourth branch goes.

By the way, CAIR has placed all kinds of people in our Department of Homeland Security. Et cetera, et cetera. This organization has done it!

This is -- you cannot have a fourth branch of government.

They must abide by the laws.

No -- you can't have a branch that nobody elected. Nobody oversees.

Nobody holds accountable.

We talked about this yesterday, on yesterday's podcast. So what needs to happen is total transparency. CAIR action has to release its filings. Its donor structure. Its compliance records, if they exist. Equal enforcement under the law. I don't want them prosecuted in special ways.

Look, if AIPAC is doing the same thing. AIPAC should be prosecuted exactly the same way.
I want it equal. I want constitutional rule.

If conservatives, if Catholics, pro-Israel, environmental, Second Amendment groups, if they have to comply by the state law, so does CAIR action.

And if CAIR action has to do it, so do the Second Amendment groups and environmentalists, and pro-Israel and conservative groups. The law cannot be selective. It can't be!

I don't know how that's controversial in today's world. But somehow or another, they will find a way.

The Feds have to review all of this. If the report is accurate, the IRS and the Treasury have to determine whether false statements or unlicensed interstate solicitations have occurred.

Americans deserve to know what exactly, who is influencing our elections. Who is shaping our policy? Who is raising money in their state?

Especially physical the organization claims political authority, that it doesn't legally possess.

Because history will teach us one unchanging lesson. When a republic stops enforcing its own laws, someone else will always step in to fill that vacuum because power abhors a vacuum!

Unregulated, political power abhors a free people. So while it's about CAIR, it's not about Muslim Americans. It's not about religion.

As always, at least on this program, we try to make it about the rule of law.

One standard for everyone or no standard at all!

And that more than anything, will determine whether or not our institutions remain worthy of the freedom and responsibility that we have entrusted to them.

Trump Just SHATTERED the “Expert Class” - And the Deep State is in Total Panic

For nearly a century, Washington DC has been ruled by an unelected “expert class” operating as an unconstitutional fourth branch of government — accountable to no one, removable by no president, and shielded from all consequences. Glenn breaks down why Trump’s firing of the Federal Trade Commissioner could finally dismantle the 1935 precedent that empowered technocrats, how Ketanji Brown Jackson exposed the Supreme Court’s embrace of expert rule, and why America cannot survive a government run by people who never face the voters and never pay for their failures.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Okay. So President Donald Trump fired the federal trade commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. Federal Trade Commission is an administrative position. I mean, this is under -- the head of the federal trade commission is a cabinet member.

And if the justices uphold Trump's firing of Slaughter, that will overturn a precedent that was horrible, that was set in 1935. Remember, 1935, we're flirting with fascism. You know, everybody thinks. Because they haven't seen the horrors of fascism yet.

Everybody thinks fascism is neat, blah, blah. So what they do is they say that this is an independent person. And the president can't fire them. Because they're, you know, an independent agency.

Well, wait. That would make a fourth branch of government. Our Constitution is really clear.

There is no such thing as a fourth branch of government. Right?

So that's what they're deciding. Now, here is Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is talking about how we really need to listen to the experts. Cut four.

VOICE: Because presidents have accepted that there could be both an understanding of Congress and the presidency. That it is in the best interest of the American people to have certain kinds of issues, handled by experts. Who, and I think you -- in your colloquy, Justice Kagan, have identified the fact that these boards are not only experts, but they're also nonpartisan. So the -- the seats are actually distributed in such a way, that we are presumably eliminating political influence because we're trying to get to science and data and actual facts, related to how these decisions are made.

And so the real risk, I think, of allowing non- -- of allowing these kinds of decisions to be made by the president, of saying, everybody can just be removed when I come in, is that we will get away from those very important policy considerations.

VOICE: We will get away from US policy considerations, and it will create opportunities for all kinds of problems that Congress and prior presidents wanted to avoid, risks that flow inevitably, just given human nature, the realities of the world that we live in.

GLENN: Okay.

Now, remember, what she's saying here is, we have to have experts.

We have to have experts. We have to have experts that don't really answer to anybody. Okay?

They're appointed. And then they're just there. This from a, quote, judicial expert, who cannot define a woman, because she's not a doctor.
She's not a scientist.

She needs an expert to define a woman.
That's how insane her thinking is. Okay?

Now, I would just like to ask the Supreme Court, when you want things run by experts, do you mean things like the State Department, or the counsel of foreign relations, that have gotten us into these endless war wars for 100 years?

Because these are the things that Woodrow Wilson wanted. He wanted the country run by experts.

Okay. So is it like the Council of Foreign Relations, that keep getting us into these endless wars.

Or is it more like the Fed, that directs our fiscal policy, that has driven us into $38 trillion of at the time. We have all powerful banks. That strangely all belong to the fed. And endless bailouts for those banks. Are those the experts that you're talking about?

Or are you talking about the experts that are doctors, that gave the country sterilizations, lobotomies, transgender surgeries. You know, or should we listen to the experts, like the ones that are now speaking in Illinois, to get us death on demand like Canada has, with their MAID assisted suicide, which is now the third largest killer in Canada. MAID, assisted suicide, third largest killer in Canada. Experts are saying, we now need it here, and they're pushing for it in Illinois. Or should we listen to the experts? And I think many of them are the same experts strangely, that brought us COVID. Yeah. That was an expert thing. They were trying to protect us. Because they need to do this for our protection. So direct from the labs in China with the help of the American experts like Fauci. We almost put the world out.

Should we listen to those guys?

Or the experts that brought us masking, and Home Depot is absolutely safe. But Ace Hardware wants to kill grandma. Which are the experts that we want? That we want to make sure that we have in our lives? That they don't answer, or can't be fired by anybody. Because I'm pretty full up on the experts, myself. I don't know.

But you're right. These experts would keep the president in check, and they would keep Congress in check. And you in check!

And the Supreme Court, which would be really great. You know, and you know who else they would keep in check? The people.

So, wow, it seems like we would just be a nation run by experts, and our Constitution would be out the window, because that's a fourth branch!

And if you don't believe me, that, you know, these experts never pay a price. Can you name a single expert?

Give me a name of an expert, that gave us any of the things that I just told you about.

Give me the name. I mean, give me the name of one of them. Give me the name of one of them that went to jail. Give me the name of one expert that has been discredited.

You know, where your name will be mud in this town. Do you know where that came from?

Your name is going to be mud. It's not M-U-D. It's M-U-D-D, that comes from Dr. Samuel Mudd. Okay? He was a docks man. He was an expert. He was that set John Wilkes Booth' broken leg. He made crutches. He let him stay there for a while. He claimed he didn't know him, but he did know him.

In fact, one of the reasons they proved it.

Is because when he pulled the boots off -- when he pulled both of his boots off, right there, in the back, you couldn't have missed it. It said "John Wilkes Booth."

He's like, I have no idea who he was.

Yeah. Well, you knew him in advance. This was a predetermined outpost where he could stay. It's clear you could know him.

The guy was still discredited, we still use his name today. Your name will be mud in this town.

And we think that it's like dirt, mixed with water kind of mud. No, it's M-U-D-D, Dr. Mudd. The expert that was so discredited, went to jail, paid for his part of the assassination of -- of Lincoln.

Give me the name of one of the experts in the last 100 years, that has brought us any of the trials and the tribulations. The things that have almost brought us to our knees. Give me the name of one of them. Can't!

Because once an expert class, they don't answer to anyone. So they never go to jail.

Wow! Doesn't that sound familiar. People never going to jail!

There's a rant that's going around right now, that I did in 2020. And everybody is like, see. He's talking about Pam Bondi.

No, no. I got to play this for you, a little later on in the program. But I want to get to the experts and what the Constitution actually says about that. Because you don't need my opinion. What you need are the actual facts. So you can stand up and say, yeah. I think Ketanji Brown Jackson is an idiot. Okay?

And she's really not an expert on anything. Especially the Constitution. You need the facts, on what the Founders said. Because the Founders would be absolutely against what they did in 1935.

Because that just -- what does it do?

It just sets up a fourth branch of government.

EXPLAINED: Why the Warner-Netflix/Paramount Merger is DANGEROUS for All of Us

The biggest media merger in modern history is unfolding, and Glenn Beck warns it’s the most dangerous consolidation of power America has faced in decades. With six corporations already controlling 90% of the nation’s news and entertainment, a Warner-Netflix or Warner-Paramount megacorporation would create an unstoppable information cartel. Glenn exposes how “too big to fail” thinking is repeating itself, how global elites and “experts” are tightening their grip, and why handing our entire cultural narrative to a handful of companies is a direct threat to freedom. The hour is late — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Transcript

GLENN: By the way, it's never good when you consolidate power. It's never good.

And what is going on now, with this Netflix Warner Brothers paramount stuff, I don't care if Larry Ellison is a conservative or not.

No one should have that much power.

I did a show, gosh, four years ago. I don't even remember when I did it.

We looked it up. In the 1980s. 19 percent of American media was owned by over 50 companies.

Forty years later, 90 percent of the media is watched and controlled by six companies.

National Amusements, the Red Stone Family controls CBS, CMT, MTV, Nickelodeon, gaming and internet. Simon & Schuster Books. That's all one.

Disney, ABC, ESPN, History Channel, Marvel, Star Wars, video games and print.

TimeWarner controls CNN, Warner Brothers, HBO, Turner, video games, internet, and print media like TIME. Comcast, MSNBC, NBC.

CNBC, Telemundo, the Internet.

New Corp. Fox. National Geographic. Ton of others. Sony, with a ton of movies, music and more. The big six. They're valued at nearly $500 billion.

Now, this is something I put together five years ago. So I don't even know. This is probably not even valid even today.

And now we're talking about Netflix, Warner Brothers. Paramount, into all of these one giant corporation. It's wrong! It's wrong!

We can't keep putting all -- everything into the hands of just a few! It's what's killing us!

We've got to spread this around. We can't -- the government cannot okay mergers like this.

They're big enough he has

What happened -- what happened when the banks went under, or almost went under in '08. What did they say the problem was?

They said the banks are too big to fail.

Too big to fail.

Because they were providing all of the services, everybody needs. All the time. And there's only a handful of them.

So if they fall, then everything falls.

Right?

That was the problem. So what did we do to fix it?

We made them bigger!

We let them merge with other banks, and gobble up other things!

And started taking on the local banks.

And so now, your banks that were too big to fail. Are now even bigger. And their failure would be even worse!

What is wrong with us?

Seriously, we're not this stupid.

We're not this stupid.

I think we're just this comfortable.

We just think the experts have a plan. No. The experts don't have a plan.

Their plan is stupid. Their plan is to make it bigger.

Every time it fails. Make it bigger. Push it up.

Make it more global.

No. Haven't you seen what the entire world is like?

The entire world is over-leveraged. The entire world is on the edge.

The entire world is being redesigned.
So what do we do? We don't allow them to make things bigger! We need to start taking more individual and local control of things. They're making it bigger. Which will make the problem bigger. And make the problem so big, you won't be able to do anything about it, because all the experts. All of the heads. They'll all -- there will be six of them. And they will all be sitting in one room.

And they will all be making the instigations. And with them, making those decisions will be all the heads of all the countries around the world, that you're not going to have a say in any of that. They're already trying to do it with the WEF.

But if -- if the Supreme Court says, no, experts matter. And the president can't fire them. You will not have any control over anything!

We're at this place, where we can back out. We can turn around.

We can do it.

It's not too late. But the hour is growing very late.

I don't know about you, I don't like being this.

Up to the edge, you know what I mean?

I would rather have lots of breathing room, between me and the edge of the cliff.

But we don't have that anymore.

Everything has to be done right.

And we have to pay attention.

And the worst thing we can do is make things bigger.

Dream big, think small.
