Are China & Russia WARNING us that the dollar may COLLAPSE?

The strength of the U.S. dollar is in incredible danger, especially as more countries around the world take BIG moves to distance themselves from relying on it. In fact, a new alliance of nations — which includes both China and Russia and which calls itself the ‘Axis of Good’ — even is WARNING America of their plans. In this clip, Glenn describes their 75 point plan that President Xi encouraged Westerners to read. If this leads to a COLLAPSE of the U.S. dollar, today’s inflation would become much, much worse. Russia and China are warning us of what’s on the horizon, so where is our U.S. leadership? Prepare for impact, Glenn says…

GLENN: All right. So the U.S. dollar has dominated the global financial system for a long time. And it is truly one of the main reasons we are so wealthy. Okay?

Because our dollar -- after World War II. Let me just explain this to you, quickly. After World War II, nobody had any gold, except the United States. We had almost all the gold from around the world. Because the entire western world was fighting against the Nazis and the Japanese. And they needed ships and planes. And bullets. And guns. And everything else.

And we were one of the only industrial powers that hadn't been bombed. So we had everything, plus we had cheap energy. And we had educated workers. We could transform our -- our plants to build anything.

We in three years, were building more planes, better quality than the Germans were producing. And they had had, you know, 20 years of building up these plants and getting it down.

So we were a to be reckoned with. And everybody had to buy the stuff from us, because it was really their only choice.

And they paid in gold. So that's one of the reasons why we were so successful. When we got off the gold standard, the world thought, okay. They're going to destroy their dollar. And they're doing what's right for America. And not what's right for the world. Because we promised them, a dollar would equal a dollar of gold. Then we changed. When we got rid of gold, we said, it's going to be the petrodollar. And it's going to be a deal we made with Saudi Arabia. That oil could only be purchased in U.S. dollars. Okay? So everybody had to hold those dollars. Because if you wanted oil, it could only be purchased in U.S. dollars.

So they kept all of our money into the banks. All of the sovereigns kept -- you know, gold, fat chance. And dollars in their banks. And that's how the world works.

Once the dollar is over, rocky, can be replaced, believe me, it will be.

So the international system is maintained by several dollar-dominated organizations like the IMF, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization. I want to point out that all of the board are on board, or all of the above are on board, with the Davos, and the great reset. And countries like Russia and China and Saudi Arabia know this.

So when we went into Ukraine, there was one action by the West that changed and accelerated absolutely everything. Everything.

It was the dollar-dominated system. It took hundreds of billions of dollars held by the Russians and made it go, poof. We ghosted hundreds of billions of dollars. Now, imagine if Saudi Arabia or China or anybody did that to us. If we were holding all of their money, and I'm going to show you how it's going to happen with China soon. Because of people like BlackRock. And what they're altogether with investments in China.

But imagine billions of dollars. Hundreds of billions of dollars, just disappear overnight, because China says, we no longer agree with you. But imagine if it wasn't in the stock market, it was actually dollars that were held instead of gold -- and the promise was, it will always be worth the price of gold.

So China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia. Remember, we don't have a gold-backed dollar. We now have a petrodollar. Saudi Arabia, a part of it. They were like, you know what, I just don't -- I think we should get out of the dollar business. Well, that's easy to say. Harder to do. Okay?

First, what they had to do was start to decouple from the entire thing.

And the Axis powers already had this in works. Iran announced that they were now officially ditching the dollar in trade. And they're -- and their growing ally now is Russia. They also announced similar trade plans with China, India, and Turkey. Iran, Russia, and Turkey.

So you know, that is -- that has never happened before. And that is literally what the Bible in end time revelation refers to as Gog and Magog.

The two -- the -- the coalition, if you will, that is the coalition of the Antichrist. Gog and Magog. That is Iran, Russia, and modern day Turkey. They met last month. And they all, but admitted a new anti-American alliance, that they call, quote, the axis of good. I would call it the axis of evil. But remember, in a time, where all good is made to be bad, and all bad is made to be good. They're calling themselves the axis of good.

As the western G nations met in June, another economic and military PAC was meeting nearly simultaneously. It was the BRICS summit, that nobody strangely was really covering or paying attention to.

BRICS is composed of BRIC: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It's just five countries, but the potential is massive. Each country has participation in their own individual trade blocs. For instance, Brazil is part of the South American free trade area, which has 11 members. Russia is part of the European economic union. The trade area with eight members. India, south Asian association, for regional cooperation. Eight members. China has their own partnership with 15 members. South Africa has a trade agreement with 34 member states. Now, I point this out, because this axis is a juggernaut. It could become a juggernaut.

And hostile to the U.S. dollar really fast. So at the beginning of the BRICS summit, President Xi was there. And he declared that the West was, quote, weaponizing the world's economy.

We were. Everything we do, if you don't agree with what the West is saying, particularly America, we'll cut you off. Well, that's not really a stable system.

So they got together, and the BRICS -- at the BRICS summit, they laid out 75 points. And here's what President Xi was saying. He urged people in the West to read it.

Now, why would he do that? Because he wants you to know, exactly what's coming.

For the economic axis of evil or good, to replace the dollar international system, they must first find a way to operate outside of the IMF, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization. And the dollar is the last one. The IMF, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank. These are the ones that, you know, kind of settle debts and work together, and decide who is going to get some bailouts. Who is not. The WTO is the western trade agreement. And then the dollar is the one that everybody uses.

Points 37 and 38 are about, quote, enhancing cooperation on supply chains, between BRICS countries and their partners. And it goes into specifics. But it's clear what this is about. They're going to replace the World Trade Organization.

Point 39 talks about a, quote, new development bank that has just been opened in Shanghai.

That's their solution to both the World Bank and the IMF. Point 49 talks about the new intra-BRICS trade system, that can make transactions within their group. What does that mean? Do you remember when we kicked the world off of SWIFT? We'll get them now. They won't be able to make transactions because we're the only one with a system, that can make those inner bank and inner country transactions. We're going to kick them off of SWIFT.

Huh. There's a new intra-BRICS trade system, that will do what SWIFT used to do. The last thing is to ditch the dollar.

And they can completely circumvent western sanctions. But it also will mean, that half the world will dump their dollars.

You think there's inflation now, wait until half of the country's of the world, no longer need to use the dollar. No longer believe it's worth its weight in gold. And just dump them.

Putin said directly, right out in the open, during the BRICS summit. They are telling us, what they're going to do. They are urging us to pay attention.

And we are so arrogant, that we are not taking it seriously. Everything I pointed out to all those friends and economists that I've talked to in the last 20 years, that the dollar is going to be dethroned. And they said, no. Because there's no other system. You don't understand. And I said, I understand the free market, and humans enough, to know there's only -- there's a point of no return.

Where people say, you know what, it's not worth it. Let's build something else. And then clobber the dollar. That will never happen.

Well, I've lived in a point of history where I have seen things that cannot happen, happen.

By the way, if you have to live under this system, which we will, all of this goes through. I want you to know this. Brazil is the world's second largest soy producer.

Russia is the world's largest wheat producer. South Africa is top ten in corn. China has a quarter of the world's grain. India is number two in rice.

You add Saudi Arabia, and we're done. What is it we're doing? We should be reinforcing. We should be unleashing our energy -- our energy producers. We should be unleashing our farmers.

There's new stories out today, that 75 percent of the farmers and ranchers either sold off a good portion of their cattle for slaughter. And if they were growing crops, a third of it, they plowed under.

We should be going the opposite direction. We are regulating and squeezing our own people. And then pissing off the rest of the world.

Prepare for impact, because it will come. It's not a conspiracy theory. It is not insane. Russia and China are doing it now.

Prepare yourself.

Shocking train video: Passengers wait while woman bleeds out

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
