‘Faithkeepers’ documentary shows Christian minorities being persecuted in the Middle East

Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East face violence, persecution and even genocide for their beliefs. “Faithkeepers,” a new documentary film from the Clarion Project, captures their stories and exposes this humanitarian crisis to the rest of the world.

Ryan Mauro, associate producer for “Faithkeepers,” joined Glenn on today’s show to talk about the new documentary and why the world needs to see it. Whether you’re a Christian, a Muslim, a Jew or an atheist, you should care about religious persecution. People of faith who are in the minority have been persecuted throughout history.

“What was so important about that was to show that history is repeating itself even if the victim is a little bit different … they’re all in the same boat and facing the same type of genocidal enemy,” Mauro said.

You can watch “Faithkeepers” at 6 p.m. EST tonight on TheBlaze TV.

Also, tonight on TheBlaze, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, we have the premiere of something called Faith Keepers. It's going to air live at 6:00 p.m. and after the first initial run. And then it will be available on demand at TheBlaze.com.

This is a really important movie. Now, this is coming from the Clarion Project. Now, the Clarion Project, you may not remember or know.

Do you remember, when I was at CNN, I did something called exposed, the extremist agenda. And it was on headline news. It beat O'Reilly and everything that night.

We were number one, if I remember correctly. And it was a big deal. But it was also one of the hardest shows I have ever had to produce. Because CNN fought me on every word. They wanted to make sure that every word was exactly right. Because they just didn't believe any of this stuff.

And as it turned out, every word, we had written in the original script went to air. Because it is true. And we had the backup to prove it. And one of the big sources that we had was the Clarion Project. Source or inspiration. They did a film called Obsession. And if you're a long-time listeners of this program, that would be 12 years now, I said at the time, one of the most important films of our time.

It still is. And you should still have it in your library. Now there's a follow-up. And it's very different in nature. This one is called Faith Keepers. And it is showing now in documentary fashion, the extermination of Christians in the Middle East. Specifically, Iraq and Syria. But it spreads further than that.

And why it's so important.

Ryan Mauro is with us. He's the associate producer of Faith Keepers, an extraordinarily difficult film to put together. And -- and, Ryan, we're thrilled to have it on TheBlaze tonight. Job well done.

RYAN: Sure. Thank you so much for having us. And thank you for what you've done to promote Obsession in the past. It's really made such an improvement in our country's dialogue, I think, about these types of issues involving radical Islam. And we hope to do the same thing now and awaken the church as to what's happening with the genocide against Christians all around the world and make them realize that we also don't have to consider this to be inevitable, that we can stop it. And I would argue even reverse it.

GLENN: I will tell you, Ryan, I was really impressed that you had Rabbi Aron. He is the founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust studies.

And he came out to my office about two years ago. And said the most remarkable thing to me ever. He said, would you please stop talking about the persecution of Jews that's going on? This was right after Jews were killed in Paris or someplace.

And I said, excuse me, rabbi?

And he said, they're coming for you first. And he said, I've got to get our community to pay attention to the -- to the Christians and the Christians to pay attention to the persecution of the Christians.

And he seems to play an important role. He's interviewed in this documentary several times. Tell me about your -- your experience with him.

RYAN: Sure. Well, in terms of the film, what was so important about that was to show that history is repeating itself, even if the victim is a little bit different. But they're all in the same boat, facing the same type of genocidal enemy, no matter what type of name they attach to themselves. What type of ideology.

And at Clarion Project, one of the interesting and most powerful things about our organization, is that we include Orthodox Jews. We have atheists. We have Christians like myself. And we have Muslims, like Zuhdi Jasser is on our board.

And so we all see how the commonality that we all have in facing this type of hatred. And we're all concerned about it happening to any one of us, regardless of whether we share that person's faith. And so we have -- that's why we have Jews and Muslims, all shouting from the rooftop, saying, we have got to stop the genocide of Christians.

And I've got to tell you, in many ways, it's increasing in ways beyond just the typical blowing up Christians, killing them, videotaping it, because not all enemies of ours videotape and broadcast their crimes.

GLENN: So you went over to the Middle East and I would imagine had exactly the same kind of feeling that I did because I can feel it in the way that you put this film together. While this is a really dark subject, there is -- this is one of the more hopeful films I have seen. Honestly, the first time I saw this, I thought to myself, I am going home and I am sitting my children down. And all of us are watching this. My older children, my younger children, we're all watching this.

Because this is what faith and this is what it means to be a Christian. And they have no examples of that in their life, I think, here in America.

RYAN: I think persecution does something for people of faith and their relationship with God, that is hard for anyone to describe, including myself. Because I haven't faced that type of persecution. I have only talked to people and seen the results of it.

So when I was in Iraq, in the Detroit Christian area, very shortly after ISIS was removed from the area. And then Christians in the area had to rely upon Iranian-backed militias for safety, that's the type of position they're in, the hope that they had was just really humbling.

Because in my world in America, I don't know if I could muster that. I mean, they're looking around at destroyed churches. And they point to a painting of Jesus. Which would have been one of the first things that ISIS would have been -- according to their ideology, required to destroy. And yet, they found that on the very premise of the church, that ISIS burned and used as a training ground to kill more Christians. And so they're able to see these things as signs from God to say, continue on. You're going to rebuild that church. And you're going to have a bigger congregation than you had before.

But I was also really humbled and discouraged, I would say, by the question of, how can we help you? And the Christians in the area would say, this is a problem. It's easy.

We feel like the church knows there's a genocide going on, but they don't talk about it. They don't pray about it. Or they don't study it. They don't see the gravity of it. And the church has the infrastructure to put an end to this, relatively easily. And to reverse it.

And they said, look, if you're uncomfortable sending money, then you can send your construction workers. You can send them materials. You can help us rebuild the economy. Learn the local languages. There's a million different things that we can do, if the church's brain matches its heart, and they start putting ideas forth. And that's what Faith Keepers is really designed to do, to be something that all churches and even entities, besides churches, watch and then they brainstorm and say, in addition to financial support, how can we get this going?

And so we really are offering a two-part thing for your listeners, which is the first Obsession. We're giving away 5,000 free copies today, including shipping, if you go to ClarionProject.org for the first 5,000. We just ask that you show it to people. Try to have an event at your church or your political club, college, whatever. And we're also offering Faith Keepers for only $5.99 for the day if you go to ClarionProject.org.

And we're just trusting you, that you're not going to watch it, just for your own education. That you're going to become part of this movement.

GLENN: I will tell you, Ryan, that when I was over in the Middle East, when I said, what can we do to help? They said, make the world see us. And that is -- that is truly the biggest problem here. There is -- there is no one in the media that is incentivized to show you this. This is politically incorrect. And it's hard to look at.

But you've made this -- this -- this movie that is really easy to watch.

It does have, you know, the darkest parts of, you know, the kidnappings and everything else. But it's told in such a hopeful and bright way, that it's easy to look at. And I'm asking every single person within the sound of my voice, if you're a Blaze subscriber, watch it tonight at 6 o'clock or right after it airs. It will go into on demand. But watch it. If you have a membership, great.

If you don't, you can sign up and watch it. If you want to actually be engaged, I ask you now to go to ClarionProject.org. ClarionProject.org. And get this movie. It's 5.99. That's I think like ten bucks off. It's 5.99. All we're asking is that you have a group of neighbors, of friends, or your church, and you get people together and you watch this movie.

If you -- if you also want, for free, you can get Obsession, which is so clarifying on what is actually happening in the Middle East. Who our enemy actually is. It's very politically incorrect. And it has footage that you will never see on mainstream television. Ever.

But it is so critically important. You can get it for free right now. No strings attached. Also, you can get the Faith Keepers, which is what's happening right now to our Christian community in the Middle East. And you can get that for 5.99. We ask -- the string here is that you show it to people. And you wake people up in the churches. If the church remains asleep, we could lose Christianity in the Middle East. And another Holocaust is already begun. And it will continue down, until the world wakes from their slumber.

Ryan, thank you so much for this movie. Really very powerful. You know, I was -- I was amazed at the children that told the stories of -- of what they've gone through. And how -- hmm. I can't say well-adjusted they are. Because I know there's lots of pain still there.

But how it's just part of their life. Does that make sense?

RYAN: Right. That they have to find enjoyment in the little things because that's all that they have. It really made you look at your own life and kind of have a spiritual awakening, where you say, look at the things that I'm complaining about in my life. How spoiled am I?

GLENN: Yes.

RYAN: And even my own relationship with God, my own spiritually, I mean, how week is it when I look over at what they're going through and what they're willing to sacrifice.

What is it that goes on over there? That gives them this relationship that is stronger than my own. There's something very special there. And I've also got to say, part of the reason for this increased persecution that's going on, that I genuinely believe is because on the underground level, Christianity is spreading, in places like Iran, probably also Turkey.

And so that's the silver lining here, that there really is a lot of hope.

GLENN: Yes. Ryan Mauro. From the Clarion Project. The name of the movie is Faith Keepers. It premieres tonight on TheBlaze at 6:00 p.m.

You don't want to miss this. Please gather your family and watch this. And it's available on demand, right after the first airing.

Then go to the ClarionProject.org. Get the movie. Get Obsession for free. The movie that kind of started it all. And now faith Keepers for 5.99 with the understanding that, with Faith Keepers, you will share it with someone else. First 5,000 people. Be one of those people right now.

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.
