14 ways to PREPARE for food shortages around the world

Inflation is high in America, but that’s not the only place. Other countries — like Peru, for example — already are experiencing some terrifying consequences from high prices around the world. That — coupled with the war in Ukraine — means we could be facing not only food shortages, but shortages in fuel, fertilizer, aluminum, and neon as well. So, what can we do NOW to prepare? Glenn lists 14 WAYS to prepare for food shortages, inflation, and unpredictability TODAY.

GLENN: So we have inflation. We all know that we have inflation. And it's not just here in America. Inflation many Peru, is getting so bad now, the proven authorities, have -- have been in a scuffle in the streets. Six people were reported dead. Then the president came out, put a state of emergency out. Placed the capital under curfew.

The next morning, he had to backtrack, and withdrew the curfew. Because nobody listened to that curfew. His -- I love this statement. You're going to love this, Stu. His statement to the press is, Peru is not really going through a good moment. Suboptimal.

STU: Suboptimal. Yes.

GLENN: Suboptimal. Now 11 people are Ted. It's because of high gas prices. High food prices. Everything is hitting the economy. Their inflation now is 9.5 percent. Almost 10 percent, is what they're dealing with. We're at 7.5. But that's on me at 7.5. But that's because you calculated it the way we did when we had inflation like this last time during the 1970s and '80s. We would be about at 15 percent inflation. That's the real number, that you're feeling right now. Not this 7.9 or 7.5 percent.

STU: Which is still really bad.

GLENN: Still bad. Still really bad. So they're trying to blame the rise of gas prices on the Ukrainian war. And that is contributing. But prices were already on the rise, before invasion began. And that's because we're flooding the U.S. dollar, all across the world. I mean, Noah, build a freaking ark. The money wave is coming. In Germany, if you went to the grocery store on Sunday, this just a few days ago, you bought groceries. If you forgot something, you really regretted it. If you went to the grocery store, on Monday. Because Monday, food prices went up between 20 and 50 percent on every item. They're freaking out, just a little bit.

Now, farmers and ranchers have been ringing this bell for a while. But the federal government is not doing anything. About the real crisis, that is happening with the farms and the ranches. Why? ESG. They're going to cripple them. But in the meantime, if you look at the food commodity price index, it's up with vegetable oil. Cereals. Dairy, meat, sugar. Way above normal. And rising. A large chunk of the wheat production, comes from Ukraine and Russia. Bizarrely, not us anymore. I don't know when that changed. But it's shameful. Shameful what we have done. Not only is the wheat production now closing down in Ukraine and Russia. But also fertilizer. Just from inflation and the Ukrainian war, we are now looking at shortages, coming in food, fuel, fertilizer, aluminum, and neon. Yes? No more -- no more heat signs. Can't make them. Can't make them. Actually, neon is -- is used to make silicon chips. We use them for high-tech.

STU: Oh, no issue with that. No chip shortage whatsoever.

GLENN: Yeah. Now, aluminum affects the price of all your canned goods. China is locking back down again. Due to another wave of covid. And it was as serious as it was the last time, when everything stopped coming from China.

We don't have any idea how bad this is going to get. We are now -- listen to this. We are now the largest food importer, in the world. We import more food, than anyone else. China has more than double our population. Yet, we double the amount of food, that we import.

STU: And for, what? Almost four times our population.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. But we import double than they do. That should tell you, how out of control this country is. How we have just paid attention to all of the wrong things. We aren't making our own medicines anymore. We're not making anything. If the world -- nobody is really talking about this. If the world does go bipolar, we now have a unipolar world. The United States and the West pretty much runs everything. You go bipolar, like we did with the Cold War, all of that fuel, that comes from the Soviet Union, all of the medicine and chips, and everything else, that comes from China. Gone. What does that mean for us? So here's what it means to me. Prepare. And I want to go through some things, with you. On how to prepare your family. Now, I know that Bloomberg has said, ride the bus. Or my favorite was, eat beans. I love that one.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: I mean, at least Marie Antoinette said, cake. You know what I mean?

STU: He is riding the bus to Bermuda?

GLENN: Yeah. He is. Yeah, he is. He has a house down there. So let me give you a few things that I came up with, and also Carol Roth, who is going to be on the program tomorrow. Also came up with. And she's been working with people online, saying, okay. What are you doing? We have to think like our grandparents, if your grandparents survived the Great Depression. Inflation means your -- your dollar. It's not the price of the goods that is going up. This is so important to understand. And you can learn about it in the Tuttle Twins books. It means that your dollar is worth less.

The products aren't worth more. Your dollar is -- has buying power that has been lessened. Okay? So when -- when the prices increase, what you can buy decreases in volume. Okay? For item that see are going to go up in price. And this is an article, by Carol Roth, at TheBlaze.com. You try to lock in the prices today. This is something I've been saying, if you need something, buy two. Store the other one, and don't use it. Don't use it.

This way, you're not paying the higher price in the future. You're saving money, by buying two of everything right now. Also, you might want to talk to goods and services providers, to see if they can give you a discount on any bulk purchase, or paying in full today. Just make sure that the goods aren't perishable, or that you know how to properly store them. For any ongoing services, you prebuy. Make sure they're from companies you believe will still be in business, when you need to use them. She said Twitter followers responded that they are cutting out grocery stores, and going straight to the farmers. This is a fantastic idea. Some are finding friends and families to split a cow for meat, freezing as much as they can, to secure better pricing. Others with the ability to care for them. Are getting chickens for eggs. Et cetera. Many individuals are planting or canning Venezuela, dealing directly with local farmers, via the farmer's market. Or contacting them directly. And this is helping keep important food prices down. I can't recommend highly enough, that you either plant your own food. If you're a farmer, plant your food. If you have space for a garden, plant your own food. You can't do any of those things. Go meet the farmers. And talk to them directly. Because they need your support. And you need their food. The other thing is, get into a farmer's market. And if you don't have a farmer's market, start one. We need farmer's markets in all of our towns. You've got to think locally. One of the Twitter followers, with Carol said, in December, I established a local liberty urban homestead market. It's a group on Facebook. The goal is to set aside some space we have, in our urban and suburban homes, to grow or raise something, to exchange with others. Completely voluntary. Tee centralized. And pier to pier. This is really a great idea. Anything that you can do, that is voluntary. Decentralized. And peer-to-peer is great. Bartering is peer-to-peer. And it is always used in tough economic times. Goods. Food products. All of it can be bartered. If you have a skill, like you need somebody to tell you a story. I'm there. I'm there. You know what I mean? I've got skills that are -- oh. So valuable, in things like the great depression. Yeah. I can -- I can sit and talk. Or not talk.

I could tell stories.

STU: I don't know that you're capable of not talking. I think there's just talking.

GLENN: All right. Well, I can work on the rest of that. I've got no skills. You and I both, we're dead.

STU: Oh, toast.

GLENN: We starve to death. I got no skills.

STU: We provide finely marbled meat to farmers.

GLENN: That's exactly right. If you go the barter route, make sure you're very clear of the expectations of both parties. Having something written down helps avoid problems in the future.

Also, note that barter transactions are taxable. Make sure you keep track of the bartering, and speak with your accountant for guidance on how to account for all of this and the tax implications. You have to do that. If you want to -- this brings me to the next thing, that I think is one of the toughest. Location, location, location. Live near like-minded people. Lots of them. Texas. Florida. Mountains. Any place. The Amish. Any place -- I mean, you would have to wear black. But you can blend in. But I can't use the blender or the TV or the radio? What? Just put on a black dress. You're fine. I mean, even if you're a man, you will be fine. They are so woke. Any place where God plays a role. Because you are going to need to be around like-minded people, who believe in a higher power. For good. That's kind of important. If you can't move, fine. Most people can't. If you can't move, create a network of people. Find a network, and create it. Start your 9/12 Project. To get whatever it is. But find a network of people, around you. That you can contact, and you can work together. Don't be alone.

By the way, when this hits, where you are, is where you will be. I am convinced of that. I could be wrong. But I don't see people buying a lot of gas for trucks and things going across the country. When it happens, that's where you will be. Make sure you think about that, right now. Moving is a serious consideration. It is so tough. I've got kids in school. You've had maybe kids in school. Family. You've built a life. It's really tough. But at least consider it, if you are alone, in the area.

I'm going to take a quick break, then I'm going to come back, and talk to you a little bit about money. Electronics. Your school, and your life at home, and life at work, coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins. You know, I just mentioned that inflation is a big part of our life. Inflation is so important, to understand. And if you don't understand, what inflation is, how it works, who is responsible, how to get out of inflation. We're in real trouble. The Tuttle Twins books. I've told you about for a while.

They are for your kids. And they help your kids learn really important principles. This one is the creature from Jekyll island. I'm bringing this one up. This one is from a series, but you can buy this book. Actually, I've asked them to give it away for free. I think this is so important. Every household should have this. Even if you think you can explain it. Even if you think you know what the fed is, how it works. What inflation is. Get this book, and pass it on to somebody. Because it's really easy to understand it. It's the Tuttle Twins and the creature from Jekyll island. Vital. So vital, that I have asked them to give it for free. All you pay for is shipping. So go to TuttleTwinsBeck.com while the supplies last. Get your free copy from the Tuttle Twins. The Creature from Jekyll island. TuttleTwinsBeck.com. Ten-second station ID.

(music)

GLENN: Just trying to go down a list of things to be prepared for. This list at GlennBeck.com. We also have to take the preparedness test. I would love to take that with you. See how different we are. That's at GlennBeck.com. How prepared are you.

STU: I don't know if I would be embarrassed by that. Because my outcome would be terrible compared to yours. But that's always been the case. Of all situations. So far, it's worked out okay.

GLENN: Worked out okay. Keep going. Soy sauce. Duck sauce. You're fine. You're fine.

STU: Right. That's all the food groups.

GLENN: That's right.

STU: Soy sauce is one food group. Duck sauce is the other.

GLENN: It's meat and vegetables. That's what it is. What else to a need? You have soy. It's a vegetable.

STU: It's pretty much a vegetable. Duck sauce is not made from duck. But we can count it.

GLENN: I think it is. All right. So let me go with money. The money that you have right now, you are going to lose. Let's put $1,000 in your bank account. You will lose 10 percent of that, every year. Just leaving it in the bank account. 10 percent of that, every year. For the next ten years.

So what does that leave you with, at the end?

STU: That's not good. I'll tell you that.

GLENN: It's not good. It's not good. And that's not coming from me. That's coming from Barack Obama's Treasury secretary. He said that a couple of weeks ago. And he said, that's baked in. That's bare minimum. Bare minimum.

So your money is going to be worth less and less, until it's worthless. And then they will change over in the currency. So what do you have as a storehouse, to be able to keep your money valued at something?

What can you buy that will forever hold its value? Well, that's where gold and silver come in. Some people will say bitcoin. That's risky. I mean, but everything is. But gold and silver, I know, and silver can be used for bartering. Gold can be used for bartering. It's -- it's good that way. And it's Biblical. I mean, it's been there forever. When the world goes insane, and governments go insane. They devalue their money. And everybody returns to gold. So gold.

But also, food has great value. Cigarettes have some value. Liquor. I mean, let me just tell you. As an alcoholic, I would have -- I would have -- I would have -- you know, you have a problem with your neighbor. I would have eaten them, if I had to. If you had alcohol, and I had none.

So -- but I'm not saying play off the desperate alcoholics. But I am saying --

STU: That seems what you're saying.

GLENN: Well, it's not that I'm not saying that. But I am saying that it is also medicinal. It is something --

STU: Ah. I like that -- that's an alcoholic talking right there. Oh, it's medicinal.

GLENN: If anybody watch 1883 -- if you saw what they had to do in 1883, I better have a lot of alcohol on my hands. So, anyway, alcohol. Cigarettes. Sugar. Ammunition. Guns. Seeds. Those are all very, very important. Skills are really important. I mean, can you fix an engine? I can't. I can't fix a new engine. No. I don't know anybody that can fix a new engine. But I can't even fix an old engine. Which brings me via a truck or vehicle in 1979. Something you can learn to fix yourself.

Try to have at least two weeks, if you can. Thirty days of cash on hand. So, in other words, whatever you spend, if you can, have it, I think for a couple of weeks. If you can. It's a lot of money. But try to have whatever it is that you would spend, minimal, that way, if there is a banking crisis, which this will go into a bank shutdown. Like it did in the 1930s. They will do that. And you're going to need to have something on hand. Otherwise, you're like. But George! All my money is in the savings and loan. You're going to need to have some cash. More in just a minute.

(music)

No, it's not. Not good.

Stu just said, I have an old pre-1979 car, but it's British. Nope. Won't do. You can fix it, but you will just fix it again tomorrow. Listen to this. Car Shield. Car Shield can help you.

The -- the problem is, is that we look at the today problems. Not the future problems.

And the future problems are the ones you're looking at, that always spring up. And you're like, what? Here's the way to beat inflation or high cost of your automobile. Carshield.com/Beck. It's an insurance policy, really for your car. When your warranty runs out. This is health insurance for your car. You will save 10 percent, if you sign up for it now. They have all kinds of different plans you can pick from. But you also lock in the pricing forever. So as long as you own that car, you don't get a price increase. No matter what they're being charged, Car Shield pays for it. And you don't pay anymore. Lock this price in. 800-391-8888. 800-391-8888. Carshield.com/Beck.

STU: All the details on how to prepare were on the show last night. Don't miss it. BlazeTV.com/Glenn. The promo code is the Alamo.

(OUT AT 9:28AM)

GLENN: This is the Glenn Beck Program. I'm going through some things I went through last night on the Wednesday night special. About what is coming, and how to prepare. It's not to freak anybody out. Well, let me just tell you this. This might freak you out. We all survive, okay? Most of us. We survive. Make it through this. It's going to be bumpy and rough. But we've done it before. Humans have done this before. We are very -- literally and figuratively, out of shape. We don't understand -- don't waste. We don't understand reuse. Repair. We don't get that. We are a very disposable group of people. The head of BlackRock came out, what was it? Last week, and said, you know, this is a generation of people who just want everything now. And they've never had to deal with real need. And they've got a real eye-opening experience. Oh, well, thank you Mr. BlackRock. But we do. We all do. All of us. And I can't tell you -- hmm. You know what's weird? I do this show for everybody. But I know there are people that listen to this show differently. Have ears that hear and eyes that see. And so I hope you're in that category. But if you are, and I take this medicine myself, believe me. We have to be in shape. We have to have our bodies in shape. It's going to be harder for medicine. And everything else. There will be shortages of things. So we just need to be as healthy as we can be. Eat the right things. And be as -- and do that mind, body, and spirit. It's critical. And sometime in the future, I'll explain why. But start on that now. Buy a house. Buy property. Don't overspend. Don't get crazy. But don't be afraid of the future. Don't be afraid of the future. You have to move on -- everything I'm doing right now, has a double purpose. If it doesn't serve now and through a storm, I don't do it. I've changed a lot here recently. I feel strongly, that the seasons have changed. And -- and with it, I am shockingly, to myself changing as well.

STU: Because you've talked about the Case-Shiller Index. And how it is right now. This is a very overheated housing market. Right now, is it the time to buy?

GLENN: I guess -- I don't want to give anybody financial advice. What I'm trying to say, I guess. Is don't -- don't spend your days, worrying about tomorrow. Do the next right thing. Okay? Understand that what's coming tomorrow, is unlike anything we've witnessed in our lifetime. Unless you lived through the Great Depression. We have not witnessed anything like this before. And so you've got to think out of the box. That's why our grandparents were so afraid. Because they didn't think that kind of stuff could happen. And then it happened. And they were pretty prepared for things. Because they lived, you know, on farms. They canned and everything else. So they weathered that storm. But it freaked them out, so much. That all the way until my who can't understand parents died, they were still saving every scrap. Every can. Every -- wrapping paper. They always saved all of. And they used to say, you don't know how fast it can come. Well, we don't. We don't even think it can come. So stop all excess spending. Stop spending on stupid stuff. And when you do buy things, buy quality. You've got to teach your kids, and maybe yourself, don't buy things with holes in it, okay? Because you'll earn those holes. Those clothes will have holes in it eventually. Measure twice, cut once. Consider fuel efficient trucks and SUVs. If you can find them. Make -- get off electronics as much as you can. Make paper copies of all of your paper documents. Know where the deeds are to anything that you own. Learn to use a map. Teach your kids on how to use a map and then have maps. When it comes to business. If you are -- somebody else's employee, be the one employee, that no one can fire. Be the Swiss army knife. Whatever needs to be done, do it. Don't wait for anybody to ask. You see something, do it. Be the American worker, that we used to be. If you are in business for yourself, be the product or the service, that no one can cancel. Stay in business, just preserve. Preserve, preserve. Honesty, integrity, and charity. Needs -- it's paramount in business. And really, in life. No one is going to know who to trust, in -- unless you have engaged in honesty, if you have integrity, and you are known as a charitable, kind, helpful person. You're -- you're not going to help anybody. Because nobody is going to listen to anybody. You need to be known as a source of good and light. This is a conversation we're having with my kids right now. I'm not sending you to school. You want to go to school. Fine. You pay for it. But I'm not paying for your destruction. Also, I don't think everybody needs to have those -- the higher education. I'm not enamored by Yale or Harvard or Columbia. I don't really care. I don't really care. Did you learn what you needed to learn. Now, I mean if you're a doctor, meaning, an actual hands in someone's chest doctor, yeah. I want you to go to the best schools. But there is something to be said for trade schools as well. My son wants to eventually build his own car. Good. You should start with knowing how to change a spark plug. And mechanics, and people who can fix things. They are going to be wanted and needed. Forget all of this crap, that that's beneath my son. No, it's not. Teach your kids, college is not a given. Educate yourself at all times. Always be reading and have hard copies of important books. Learn old or lost practices. Mending. Canning. Farming. Fixing an engine. Serve and share in your life. This one has taken on new meaning to me, recently. I understand this now more deeply than I ever have.

I am -- I'm -- I'm a guy who, I like to collect stuff. I mean, you watch the show last night. I showed you the missile collection, that I have, from Russia. Russian missiles, that they're actually using now, on the Ukrainians. I have a bunch of them. And I have a bunch of stuff, that the Ukrainians were using to fight the Russians, just to be able to tell the story, visually. I love collecting stuff.

Yeah. Every dollar I make, and I would encourage you to think this way. Every dollar you now make, needs to be viewed as sacred money. What can I do, to help build up -- straight with you. Remember when I said, Stu. When I started talking like this, you'll know. I think -- I think I'm there. You need to think about your money as building up the kingdom of God. You need to start preparing the way. And -- and don't spend money, on stupid stuff. Because we -- we're going to need each other. Teach your children, the things that matter. Forget about running them to soccer practice, if you're not teaching them values and principles. Teach those things first. Do less -- do with less now. It will help your family take the shock a lot better. Read the Bible. Plan. Pray. Listen. Obey.

Have a gun. Know how to shoot it. Have ammunition. Understand that anger is a part of your life. This is so important. Anger will be a part of life. But never feed it. Be honorable in all of your dealings. Especially when nobody is going to know. Be honorable at all times. And be optimistic and happy. Because life does go on. Life is going to get really good. Should we choose? Life is going to get really good. It's going to suck on the way there. But it is going to get good. Make plans for the future. Get married. Have children. Don't listen to people who say, you're going to bring them up in a world like this? Yeah. Because they were -- they were meant to be born at this time. I'm telling you now, our children -- our children are important. And they were born for this time. And they will be able to help heal and rebuild. They are critical. Don't buy into the lie.

Meet the pro-Intifada candidate NYC Democrats just elected

New York City Democrats just elected 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a "socialist Muslim", as the Party's candidate for mayor. But Glenn Beck argues that his radical beliefs are actually communist and Islamist.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

VOICE: Z10852. Something weird is going on. The World Trade Center is on fire.

VOICE: Seriously the top of the building. We're trying to get information.

VOICE: Top level of one of the --

VOICE: To unfold from New York City.

VOICE: A plane crashed just --

VOICE: My sister is in that believe. I hope she's okay. I have to come to New York.

VOICE: It's pandemonium.

VOICE: It's raining papers.

VOICE: Wait a minute! Stop just a second. Why are we -- why are we -- I've got breaking news. Breaking news, yesterday. New York City just elected as their mayoral candidate for the left. And the Democrats, a -- a Muslim radical, who is also a communist!

So, you know, it only took you 25 years. It only took you 25 years, New York, to go completely insane.

Somebody who is -- well, I mean, if I might quote Michael malice today. I am old enough to remember when New Yorkers endured 9/11 instead of voting for it.

But you've got a -- you've got a communist jihadist apologist now.

Who was -- you know, well, CAIR put $100,000 behind his bid for New York City mayor.

So you have somebody who is endorsed by CAIR. That's really good.

He also was somebody who said, you know, he was -- he was for the shooting of the United Health Care CEO.

Said he was looking forward to driving down magnum Joan avenue. I don't know. Sounds like supporting people in the streets. Maybe it's just me.

Then he also said that he was going to globalize the intifada, which I think that's -- maybe -- maybe that's just me.

I mean, what do I know?

Tim Miller who is a podcaster. Asked him a few weeks ago. Asked him about his pro Palestinian slogan. Globalized the intifada. And he said, for me, ultimately, what I hear in so many, is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights, in standing up for Palistinian human rights. Oh, is that what you hear, Mr. CAIR?

Really? Huh, that's interesting.

Right. So globalize the intifada.

I mean, I mean, sure, that's -- I mean well, let me go on.

Because I don't want to take him out of context.

He then delved into the semantics of the intifada, citing the United States Holocaust memorial museum's use of a word for a translation for uprising, in an Arabic version of an article, a museum published about the Warsaw ghetto.

Oh!

So this is just a comparison, about the -- the armed rebellion against the Nazis!

I don't know if that makes me feel better!

I mean, if we're globalizing that.

We're the Nazis in this scenario.

Because I don't think it's the Palestinians.

I certainly don't think it's anybody who is like, hey.

Global jihad. I don't think it's those guys.

Or the Nazis. Who are the Nazis in that?

And it seems, if that's what you mean, then it's not just a harmless kind of slogan about human rights. It is a call for violence on the streets.

Because I don't know if you know, that's what happened when the Jews had their uprising against the Nazis.

I'm just saying!

But, hey, hey, free Palestine.

Oh, that's not what that means, gang. That is not what that means, but don't worry about it. He's just going to be possibly the new mayor.

And that's great. By the way, the Columbia faculty members signed a letter defending Hamas.

They were also among the donors to his mayoral campaign.

So, you know, you don't have anything to worry about.

And his father, who used to work at Columbia. Do you know, Stu?

Is his Dad -- is he still a professor at Columbia University?

He said that -- this violent terror thing of Islam, is not a part of Islam. Now, I've read the Koran, and much of the hadith.

And I'm pretty sure the violence is a part of that. But no.

No. This is something entirely new.

And his father while at Columbia university, wanted everybody to know, that this is actually -- this is something that came out of America!

America is really responsible for this.

And, you know, it really started with the Reagan administration, you know, when he started -- when he started with his very religious terms, to finish the war against the evil empire.

So, you know, that's where -- that's where 9/11 came from.

Is what -- don't worry about it! Don't worry about it!

Because who am I? I'm clearly just -- am I an anti-Semite today, or am I an Islamophobic? I can't remember which one.

Oh, it's probably both. Anyway, Islamophobia. Let me just explain Islamophobia. I haven't even gotten to the Communist part of it. Which is really, really -- New York, you're in one for hell of a ride. Buckle up.

It will be a fun rollercoaster for you. My gosh, I've never been happier that I've been away are if New York.

Anyway, I just want I to know, there is Islam. And then there is Islamists. Now, an Islamist is somebody who really wants Sharia law.

That's political Islam!

That's not a faith. That's political Islam.

Now, let me make really -- something really clear. Criticizing Islamism, is not Islamophobia. Pointing out the dangers of, oh. I don't know.

Political Islam. The ideology that seeks to use the tools of democracy, ultimately to destroy democracy, is not an attack on Muslims.

No. Uh-uh.

You know why?

Because Muslims are often the first people in line.

The first victims of the ideology.

So let's draw a bright, bright line between Islam as a faith, millions of people can practice that faithfully and peacefully.

It's mostly peaceful, okay?

Then there's the Islamism.

Islamism is something entirely -- that's a political project.

A theocratic political -- oh. Left loves theocracies. They love it.

Of course, you never see a problem with it.

See it when an Islamist is touting it. Anyway, it's not about prayer. It's not about fasting. It's not about spiritual life.

It's all about power. It's about merging of mosque and state. It's about implementing Sharia, not as a personal code of conduct. But as a governing legal system.

And it's -- it's supremacy.

Absolutely. Faith.

Religion.

It's -- there's one thing that's supreme.

It's misogynistic.

Deeply intolerant of all kinds of things.

Descent. Secularism. Other faiths. Even competing interpretations from inside the faith itself.

It will behead them too.

So let's -- let's be honest here for a second.

You know, CAIR should be labeled an international terror organization.

In my opinion. In my opinion.

Oh, does that make me -- that makes me an Islamophobe. I'm sure. I'm sure they will start a campaign against me on being an Islamophobe.

Stand in line, guys. You've been doing it since 2001, okay?

I don't really care. And I don't think the American people. I think that record, all the grooves are worn-out on that one, okay?

This is not a religion we're talking about. When we're talking about Sharia law. And we're talking about globalize the intifada. What does that mean, actually, to globalize it?

Does that mean we now want to do what is happening to Israel? All over the world?

Has the Palestinian plight become our plight you now, as Americans?

That there has to be an intifada here!

Because it's the kind of the same. You know. It's kind of the same over, you know, with what the Palestinians are going through.

Well, it's very much like what the Jews went through with the Nazis.

That's a weird one. That one makes my head hurt. It's very much the same as that. And very much the same as the fight against Donald Trump.

Oh, this is going to be fun. It's fun!

Really fun. You know, the irony here is, the ones that will scream Islamophobia the most, are the ones in the progressive left, the champions of feminism, LGBTQ rights. And secularism.

They're going to -- no. You want -- they're going to stand with the people, who want to kill them first.

See, this is how smart they are!

This is why it's going to work out well, in New York City.

Let me just say. If you have an ounce of common sense, you run a business, you have an ounce of wealth. And I don't mean wealth like, you know, hey, Lovey.

Let's get on the boat for a three-hour tour with a suitcase full of cash. I mean you saved anything, anything, get the hell out of New York City.

I mean, this is about survival. This is about free speech. This is about women's rights.
Religious pluralism. Secular legal systems. Liberal democracy.

But it's also about failed principles of Communism. Okay?

First, you have to call out political Islam for what it is. Okay?

And we have to do it with the clarity that we call out white nationalism.

Got to do it with that. Got to -- you know, the Klan. Really bad people.

Really bad people.

Anybody who is shouting for globalized intifada?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad people.

Okay?

Now, let's get to communism.

Because that's another cool, cool angle of the new Democratic candidate for -- for mayor of New York City.

That I just -- I think is cuddly and cute. Sure, it led to 100 million deaths. But this time, New York is going to be radically different. Oh, did I use the word radical?

I didn't mean to use that. What's radical about this guy?

Nothing. He's just like you!

Well, not exactly.

But let's talk about communism, next!

Now, the new mayoral candidate that's running there in New York City. That so many young people rushed to defend and vote for. He's promising free buses.

That's going to work out.

Where are you going to get the money for free buses.

It's free!

City-run grocery stores.

Oh, rent freezes. And finally somebody has done it. A 30-dollar minimum wage.

So under the banner of equity. And, you know, we will tax the wealthy. And the corporations. You know, we're going to squeeze another $10 billion out of them.

Really?

Because they're going to call a U-Haul.

You know, they will call something like U-Haul. There will be a lot of -- there will be a lot of movers that are like, how do I get the truck back from Texas or Florida back up to New York? Nobody is moving up there.

But he's going to do it.

Now, his vision isn't really new. You know, just -- just tax people, so we could have city-run grocery stores. You know, I remember -- I'm old enough to remember those city-run grocery stores in Moscow.

They were great.

The shelves were empty.

But that's just Moscow.

It worked out completely different in Venezuela.

Where, oh, no.

It didn't. That's right. The grocery store.

They were eating the zoo animals.

But it will be different in New York.

Because they have rent controls too.

And that will just choke the housing supply, but don't worry. As a young family.

You know, you voted for it.

You know better.

It will work this time.

So, you know, I like building ideas, I just don't like usually building on the graves of 100 million people.

But, you know, why not? Why not?

You know, use this dogma.

And this time, it will be different. It's not like it was in China. Where the great leap forward, was a gross -- a gross parody of progress. Venezuela, which was oil rich. One of the richest nations in the hemisphere now sees 90 percent of its population in poverty!

Yeah. Darn it. You know what they did?

They decided to take state control of things.

You know, like grocery stores. And it worked out well. How is that free busing working out in Venezuela?

I just want to -- I just want to know.

Anyway, then you've got the globalize the intifada. Which is going to drop a little violence in, and anti-Semitism in with your communism.

Which is weird!

Because violence and anti-Semitism, always happen. When it -- when it comes to -- when it comes to communism.

This is weird!

I've got to play something for you. Because this has talked about on me earlier this morning.

Oh, wow.

Wait a minute. This is -- this is the whole coalition coming together here.

So this is going to be good. New York, this is going to be great.

It's going to be great for you.

No. He's going to uplift you. Then the social fabric of New York City is just going to be -- just one.

It's going to be fantastic. Don't worry about your 120 billion dollars in debt. Or your 10 billion-dollar deficit that you have right now.

You are going to charge the rich more taxes, and they will stay right there.

They will be like, you know what, that 46 percent in taxes that I'm paying, this is just not enough. It's just not enough.

I need to pay 60 or 70 percent to be able to pay my fair share. So that's good. That's good. That's good.

You know, they're not risking 100 million people. It's just 8 million people.

This time, it's just 8 million people.

But, hey. For those of you in upstate New York. That aren't going to be part of this experiment.

Don't worry, you get to pay for it. Because they'll kick it up to the state. The state will have to subsidize everything. And don't you love it?

Really, don't you want to subsidize the really crazy ideas of New York City?

I mean, why don't you have a -- why don't you have a democratic socialist. A/k/a communist mayor.

Why haven't you done that? Are you not progressive enough? Are you not looking into the future?

Are you stuck in the past?

I don't know. I don't know. The graveyard is pretty big. I have a hard time getting past that one. You know, yeah, so I'm stuck in the past. Because I can't seem to pass that graveyard, and get to be down the path with you. But it's going to be a paradise.

Forget arithmetic. You know, or human nature. This time, it's going to work. It's going to work. So all right!

Wish I lived in this morning.

No wait. Nope. I don't. Nope, I don't.

And Ted Cruz, stop it. Stop writing, hey, come to Texas. No. No. Don't come to Texas. Don't come to Florida. Go to California. It's beautiful this time of year. Go there. Go there.
