Woman With Rare Condition Wakes up With Painful Migraines That Cause Her to Speak in Foreign Accents

Imagine waking up with a different voice.

That’s the nightmare that Arizona woman Michelle Myers says she’s living after a particularly painful migraine. Myers, 45, has never been overseas, but she speaks with an accent that sounds British.

‘Worst-Case Scenario’: Britain’s Universal Health Care System Is Falling Apart

Myers, who says she’s woken up before with Irish and Australian accents that faded in time, chatted with Glenn today to bring awareness to Foreign Accent Syndrome, an extremely rare condition that was first documented in 1907 and has been reported in cases around the world. Researchers have documented how brain injury and strokes can distort how patients speak to suggest a foreign accent.

“When I told my doctor I didn’t feel well, he kept telling me I had hormone problems,” Myers described the painful and blinding headaches that preceded her speech impediment. “All of a sudden, this Irish sound came out of my face.”

GLENN: Michelle Myers is a mom of seven. She lives in Buckeye, Arizona. She's a former Texas beauty queen. She has never left the United States.

That's an important fact to remember, when we speak to her.

She has been diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic with a couple of diseases. One of them is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. And that causes her to easily bruise, rupture blood vessels, painful joints. Her joints are easily dislocated.

It's really, really painful. The other thing she has -- I had never heard of. And I got to believe, for anybody who has been to the doctor over and over and over again, and they're like, well, I can't see anything here. This has to be really frustrating.

She has blinding headaches. But in three different occasions, she has woken up. The first time, with an Irish accent. She had that for a while. The second time, she had an Australian accent. And now she has a British accent.

I got to believe people would say, she's faking it. No. She -- she has a rare disease. What is it? The foreign accent -- I can't remember. Foreign Accent Syndrome. I didn't even know it existed. And she's here to tell us about it. Hello,

Michelle, how are you?

MICHELLE: Hello, Mr. Beck. Good morning.

GLENN: How weird is it for you --

(laughter)

GLENN: -- to sound as you described, like Mary Poppins, and you're not trying to.

MICHELLE: No. Not at all.

First, I want to say thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to speak for people whose voices, pun intended, are not being heard exactly.

Second, the Mary Poppins thing definitely came from everyone who makes me think that I'm from somewhere else, but I'm not. I'm a very proud American daughter.

GLENN: So, Michelle, how -- you literally just wake up and you were Irish. How long -- how long do these spells usually last?

MICHELLE: The very first one was in 2011. And I actually -- a lot of people -- I really want to make this clear. Some people think I kind of fell asleep and woke up innocently. And, you know, like Mary Poppins, skipped off into the sunset. But that's not exactly how it happened. I actually have what's called (inaudible) migraines, which paralyze you down, called blindness in the eye. It's also very painful, aside from the Ehlers-Danlos and other things.

So I laid down. Because I had a headache. I had thrown up. I could barely see in my eye. So I laid down because when I told my doctor that I didn't feel well, he kept telling me I had hormone problems. So I didn't go back to see him. So I left. The next thing I knew, I popped up, and it was like -- I tried to say Charles' voice. All of a sudden, it's -- an Irish sound came out of my face. And I was shocked, shocked.

GLENN: Okay. I know there are millions of people in America that have -- you know, have diseases and have problems that nobody can diagnosis.

And they just feel -- I mean, you get to a point to where you're like, look, I'd rather have you tell me that I have cancer than, you got nothing.

You know, because you just -- I'm not making this up, man. How long did you -- did the doctors immediately know, or did doctors start to say, okay. Michelle, I mean -- I mean --

VOICE: Yeah.

GLENN: Did they know automatically what this was? Because I've never heard of this.

MICHELLE: And I never -- Mayo Clinic and some other people have made reports about it, but I never went to the Mayo Clinic. Some of that is getting reported.

GLENN: Oh, okay.

MICHELLE: And it's just because different people are commenting on the story. So it can kind of get messed up a bit.

GLENN: Okay. Sure.

MICHELLE: But honestly, I didn't go to the doctor for years, because I literally thought I was crazy. I thought that something was just wrong with em, which is what everyone thinks.

GLENN: Yeah.

MICHELLE: The other thing is, it's not -- I don't know why. It was coined in 1907 by a neurologist whose last name is Murray. P.M. Murray (phonetic). And he called it Foreign Accent Syndrome. Because what you hear from me sounds kind of (inaudible), and it sounds like I'm from somewhere else. However, it's a speech impediment due to something traumatic happens to your body.

So you would tease someone who has a stutter. We would all be in a tizzy about it. But when there's people like me -- and there are other people like me. I know them personally. We've met through social media and things.

And we get thrown under the bus by physicians and doctors and health care people. And we are asking for help. It's not just me. I speak for a little microcosm of people, who have had this happen. So, yes, my doctors -- they sent me to a neural psychologist, a psychiatrist. You know, all that stuff.

GLENN: So just -- just one more question on this. And I'll go a little deeper with you.

But did you -- I mean, it is -- it's a consistent accent.

So it's not like a stutter or a slurred speech or anything. I mean, it's a consistent accent.

And before it was Irish. And then Australian.

Was there any influence in your life that put that, or is it just really mechanical?

MICHELLE: No. It truly -- I've had people even contact me and say, Michelle, your DNA has memory in cells.

So perhaps what's happened is some type of reset, some divine reset has happened. There's also been some weird people that are like, I see a dead Englishwoman wrapped up in your body. None of that. None of that. Some guy actually contacted the news here, and they let me know he wanted to do an exorcist on me. Because he felt some dead lady from Britain. I'm like no. Jesus took care of that. I don't have that.

It's frustrating because people think that -- it is consistent, but people in the FAS community -- we have a little community. Our accents will sometimes be thicker and sometimes be lesser thick. And sometimes it depends on if we have migraines, headaches, or another stroke. Some traumatic thing that happens to your brain in any way, neurologically at all, it can change. It can change sound. It as well can change intensity as well.

GLENN: Can this just go away on you? Can you --

MICHELLE: I haven't had -- I haven't had mine leave in three years. The -- first one, the Irish one lasted eight days. And the next one lasted for just barely like an afternoon. And then in 2015, in May, it's been three years. It will be three years in May.

STU: It's fascinating. I mean, because you have a -- it's very consistent.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: But you would have to have the knowledge of the accent. Right? Like people who grow up with an English accent is because they're hearing it constantly. And obviously you've heard English accents in your life. But to able to apply it to every word you're trying to say.

GLENN: All the time.

MICHELLE: For three years.

STU: Yeah. How do doctors explain that?

MICHELLE: Well, that's the thing. That's why we need more people to research. If you think about it globally, if there's around 100 people -- in all the billions of people that we have -- and that's just reported. Because I know many people that they haven't reported anything.

For seven years, I've gone through people blaming it on my hormones, or blaming it on I need anxiety medication. All these other things.

But there was a catalyst. There's always a catalyst. People -- all of us report there was a brain trauma of some sort, even if it was -- even the lady with the dental surgery, she actually had a drug that altered her mind. Put her out. So everything has a catalyst. No one has authority like they want to be.

Am I allowed to mention other media news outlets?

GLENN: Yeah, yeah, that's fine.

MICHELLE: Well, a lot of my friends and I were actually quite offended because on the Live With Kelly & Ryan Show, they got a hold of my story. I did not talk to them. So I guess they decided to read it on their morning show. They literally -- Kelly ended up saying, she would like to throw herself down the stairs in order to sound like me.

And Ryan said, oh, that's kind of like Madonna. And other people, when they live some place, they have that accent.

That is -- that's greatly offensive. We have to struggle so hard. There are people who lose their jobs because their voices switch so much. These people have families. They have children. They have lives they'd like to live. But we have the accent. Why? Because we have neurological issues that are going on, and no one can really explain them. It was very hard.

GLENN: I will tell you this, Michelle. You know, the -- the British accent does -- I mean, there are worse accents to have. And, you know, so it's -- if you're looking at it from the outside and you're like, oh, if I could pick an accent, people would thick I'm smarter and everything else.

MICHELLE: Yeah.

GLENN: However, if you joke like that, what you don't recognize is, this isn't your choice. And I read something from you. You said that you watched videos of you with your kids. And it's difficult. Can you explain that?

MICHELLE: Uh-huh. You know, I am a believer in the Lord. And when I was 13 years old, the Lord told me about my first daughter that would be born. I wrote it in a little journal like a little girl does.

And when I got older, I had that child. And she is now 22 years old. But all of my children, he told me their names. And particularly, I have twin boys that are 14 now. I name them Tyler and Tyson.

I can no longer say the R on the end of the name. And while everyone would be like, that's such a silly thing to be upset about. I named him because his name -- that meant builder. Like the Lord -- he has this build thing in him. So for me, speaking over my son, it was very important to name him what I felt God told me to name him in prayer.

So now when I can't simply pronounce some of the children's names when I say them, they don't sound like my heart said them, or they were in my womb. And so there was a little bit of a grief there. Because I did not choose this path for me.

I'm also a survivor of sexual assault. While it's not a drastic and a violent -- in that manner, it was taken from me. And that's what people lose about this whole thing. There are so many thousands of jokes on the internet and terrible things going on. I didn't do this on purpose. No one did.

GLENN: Michelle, I'm thrilled to talk to you. And to get your perspective on this. I hear that you and your husband are fans of the show and listen to the show.

MICHELLE: Oh, Good Lord, no, I don't have a husband. That was a nasty rumor.

GLENN: Oh, really? I thought -- wow. Okay. Then, you're available.

MICHELLE: My brother -- my brother --

GLENN: Oh, your brother. Your brother. Your brother.

MICHELLE: He's listened to you for so many years. He's, like, running around here like a little -- he has a man crush or something. He's so excited. He's my younger brother.

GLENN: Well, thank you so much. And I -- I can't imagine -- and we would love to hear from you again, if it goes away, we would love to hear from you. And if anybody happens to be listening and has this, do you have a way for people to contact you?

MICHELLE: Well, there are some different groups that people have sprung up. One way to contact me obviously is just through the website. You can go to (inaudible) 25.com. It's really easy. And I try to lead people in the right direction. I thank you for helping me give a voice to it. But it's really about chronic illness. And invisible illnesses. There's so many.

GLENN: I know. I know.

MICHELLE: So we just thank you for this opportunity to talk about it.

GLENN: Thank you so much, Michelle. Thank you so much.

MICHELLE: God bless you too. Goodbye.

STU: Just happy she was mad at Kelly and Ryan. It's like the first time we've ever had one of these things that we weren't the ones people were mad at. It's weird.

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.

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.
