Financial expert WARNS: Left wants a trajectory LIKE VENEZUELA

Americans continue to suffer financially, and many of them — including Glenn — may be wondering: Is now the time to pull assets from today’s tumultuous stock market? Carol Roth, financial expert and author of ‘The War On Small Business,’ joins Glenn to answer similar questions. And while Roth cannot give financial advice based on YOUR individual situation, she does provide insight into market trends and give tips for how to hedge your portfolio. Plus, Roth and Glenn discuss Biden’s recent letter to oil companies, in which the president warned his ‘emergency authorities’ may take over if they don’t do as told. But that’s similar to how Venezuela’s downfall began, Roth explains, and now the median net worth there is ZERO DOLLARS. And unfortunately, she says, it seems that’s the trajectory today’s far-left wants to take too…

GLENN: Thank you. Now I feel so much safer, now that the federal government has had the last word there. Carol Roth, welcome to the program. How are you, Carol?

CAROL: Oh, you know, just watching the market implode, and, you know, watching the lies come out of the White House. So just another day under Building Back Better, Glenn. How about you?

GLENN: I know. Oh, great.

Let me ask you a question: I've taken money out of the stock market. But I also have gotten burned before, by taking it out. And missing the upside, et cetera, et cetera. And my guy, who watches over my investments. He's like, Glenn, Glenn, it's going to come back. I'm like, I know it will come back. But, you know, I'm nearing 60. So if it's back in ten years, I'm going to start needing that money. Should have any money? I took about 50 percent out. Should you have any money in the market at this point? Have any idea of what's coming?

CAROL: Yeah. So, you know, obviously this is not financial advice. And I think that you did the right thing by talking to your financial adviser. Because obviously it makes a difference. If you're closer to retirement. Or if you're somebody who is younger or has the time to wait it out. The reality is, we don't know. If I knew, and I had this crystal ball, I would be on a yacht on the Mediterranean, and not on your program, as much as I adore you. But that's what I would be doing.

GLENN: Yeah, no, I know. I wouldn't have a program.

(laughter)

CAROL: So the reality is: You know, they show you over long periods of time, that people who take money out of the market, tend to miss the biggest up days in the market. You know, in these bear market situations, there are these kind of bull rallies that happen. And if you miss the ten best days of the market, over, you know, a ten or 20-year period, that ends up killing the returns that you get on your portfolio.

GLENN: Correct.

CAROL: So I do think, especially if you have a longer time horizon, that you should not panic. You know, you never want to be the one selling when the market is down. As you want to be buying. Not that I'm saying to buy today. But you should be also hedging your portfolio. And maybe realigning it. And I think it's a good time to maybe look at the types of investments you have in your portfolio. If you are looking at these high-flying growth companies. With weak balance sheets, you know, that don't make any money. You know, those are the ones that will struggle. If they have these rock solid balance sheets. They generate tons of cash. They're in an industry that can pass price increases on to the consumer. You know, those are the ones that will survive, and they're ultimately going to thrive. So, you know, that's the type of thing you should be talking to your financial advisor about, is maybe repositioning the portfolio right now.

GLENN: So what's really crazy, because of ESG. Right now, would be the time -- if I'm not mistaken. You know Wall Street. But right now would be the time that you would think, you've got to get into oil and gas. Because they'll make a killing. They'll invest. And we'll start to really boom. And they'll make a killing on it. But that's not true anymore. Because the market is not free. Oil and gas, is it even smart to do that now?

CAROL: So it depends on your perspective. I'm the follow the money kind of person. And obviously, like you said, the ESG push president the green push. The decarbonization push is so entrenched. You know that they're going to throw more money at that. And they've been keeping money from these sort of traditional areas of investment. So the question you have to ask yourself. And, again, I wish I could tell you the answer. I can only tell you what to think about in terms of the question. Is do you think that we're going to see a reversal, of course? Because right now, part of the reason that everything is so expensive, is because we have had all this capital being directed away from the industry. And there's severe underinvestment in all types of fossil fuels and traditional energy sources. So the play that you're going to have to go through in your mind is do you think that something is going to change? Or eventually here, we get some temporary relief. And then the green people continue to march on, and, you know, completely kill our -- our dependence on fossil fuels.

GLENN: What's frightening is that letter that came from Biden yesterday, where he said to the oil companies, I have emergency orders, where I will begin to direct this. This is what Hugo Chavez did. And it was over for Venezuela.

CAROL: Okay. So let's go back into whatever it is -- 50, 60 years ago. Venezuela was the fourth wealthiest country in the world. And like you said, their powers that be, said, we have wealth inequality. We need to hand this over to the government. We'll make sure that you are all rich. And they nationalized oil and a bunch of industries. Do you know what the median net worth in Venezuela is today, Glenn?

GLENN: Oh, I don't -- I'm afraid. No, I don't.

CAROL: It's zero. I'm not making this up. This comes from the Credit Suisse report on world wealth. The median net worth -- they went from the fourth wealthiest country in the world, to a median net worth -- not even an average -- a median of zero. The midpoint of the country's net worth is zero, because they nationalized the oil and gas industry. And the wealth, and that is the trajectory they want to take us down here.

GLENN: So, Carol, is it unreasonable to say. I mean, you know, Biden is lying to us about gas and oil and ESG and all of that stuff. He's just out and out lying to us. Is it unreasonable to say, that that's the way you get people to own nothing, by 2030?

CAROL: I mean, it's certainly one huge element of it. I mean, just think of. If we had, you know, some retraction of our energy. Where one day a week, we couldn't, you know, have enough energy to power electricity. Or to get us to where we need to be. And we all had to move to four-day workweeks. Think of the productivity that we would lose. Think of how our GDP would shrink. Think of the rolling consequences of that, throughout the economy. And, yeah. That's a really good way to start killing the ownership of people. But, Glenn, they have so many different ways they are trying to attack you, and make sure you don't own anything. That's just one of the tools in their pockets.

GLENN: Oh, I know. I will tell you, I'm up here in my ranch. I live in a town of very, very small. The next biggest town over is 5,000. And it is -- it's all ranchers. It's all farmers. And regular people. Dairy men. And they're all terrified. I mean, they can't buy water. Water is already at a premium, and now the state of Washington and the state of Idaho is talking about taking down the dams, which would destroy the energy here. And it would destroy all of the water. I live in a desert. Okay? It's a high-mountain desert. A lot of farms and cattle are here. And on top of that, they're also expressing to me fear, that they'll even be able to keep their land.

CAROL: I think these are real concerns. And I hope the place you're in is gulch, because we've been looking for it, for quite some time. But the reality of it is, the wealthiest people in the United States. You know, the Bill Gates. The Harvard hedge fund. They have all been buying up, not only land, but water rights. So it's something that we do need to keep a very close eye on. Because the question is, you know, why do they think this is such a good investment. You know, they're looking for return on their investment.

GLENN: Right.

CAROL: So what do they think is going to happen with the prices, that they're making investments, in farmland, and in water rights. An area. You know, it's one of those. I'll call it a dark gray swan. Because obviously we've talked about it. But really, not enough people are focused on it. And to the extent, you have this rationing of water, on top of everything else. I mean, I can't even imagine that scenario, and the social unrest that comes with that.

GLENN: So we have 30-year mortgage rates. They were, last week, 5.5 percent. This week, they're now at 6.28 percent. And the fed raised the rates yesterday. What is this going to mean?

CAROL: Oh, I do think they came down a little bit today. But, yeah. It's still very high. This is a very challenging question, and the challenging question is because we have such a supply and demand imbalance, in the housing market. Again, because of all of the idiotic things, that the powers that be have done over the past couple of decades. So we have an undersupply, that's estimated four to five plus million houses. And that's what has supported, you know, these high prices in housing. Plus, you have all of these corporate buyers who are flush with cash, who are coming in. And they are buying up -- talk about you will own nothing. They are buying up housing. The thing that makes people gain general racial wealth. And they're doing it with all cash. So they don't need a mortgage. And sometimes they're not looking. They're not even doing an inspection. So they're getting very, very favorable outcomes. So, I mean, yeah. In terms of what happens with the housing industry. The mortgage rates are going to keep first-time buyers. And people who are just able to afford out of the market even further. You know, they were already hurt, because of the inflated asset bubble. Whether that means -- we'll certainly see some cooling off. I don't think we'll see a 2008, 2009 type implosion. Because we just don't have enough houses. And I don't think right now people are overleveraged.

GLENN: So let's -- let's -- let's continue this conversation here in a second. Let me take one minute to break. But, you know, Canada said already. One out of every four houses, I think it is, is underwater. Or they can't -- they can't afford to keep their mortgage. And if it goes up, I think another point, they said, it will be like 50 percent. The people won't be able to -- so is Canada different from us? Because that sounds like a 2008. We'll get to that question here in just a second. By the way, Texas leads the nation. Texas leads the nation in homes being sold to companies like BlackRock. More homes in Texas are being sold to these corporate raiders than anyplace else in America. That's got to make you feel good.

All right. Let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins book. This is the way that you can teach your kids about business and economics and how to start their own business. And why you should be an entrepreneur. Our kids are not being trained to accept risk at all. There is no risk. It's due to them. They want it, and why risk? You know, the federal government should bail me out, if I've made a mistake. Well, you can't run a capitalist system, with people who are risk averse. You just can't. So get this book from the Tuttle Twins for free. Today and tomorrow, are the last day you can get it. The Tuttle Twins and their spectacular show business. You'll get it for free. Just pay for the shipping at TuttleTwinsBeck.com. The cost of shipping. You're going to -- everyone should have this. If you are a parent -- if you are a grandparent. They have all kinds of different books. This one you can get for free for all different ages. But this one is so important. I wanted to make sure that you can get it just for the price of shipping. This ends tomorrow. So please, get this book now. TuttleTwinsBeck.com. That's TuttleTwinsBeck.com. Ten-second station ID.

GLENN: So over one in five Canadians expect rising interest rates to have significant negative impact, one in four say that they will be forced to sell their home, if interest rates increase any further. So it's not as bad as I thought it was. One in four. Is Canada different than we are. They don't have a shortage of homes?

CAROL: So Canada has a massive shortage of homes. They have a very different scenario, than we have here. Because they have even more foreign investment, that has come in, particularly from China, on an even lower supply of homes. So there's a great chart. And I was trying to find it during the break. And I'm going to have to circle back on that one. But I'll put it back into my Twitter stream. But there is this incredible chart, that shows the median income for Canada, versus home value. Versus the US. And the home values, compared to the incomes in Canada, are so out of whack, vis-à-vis, where the U.S. is. That absolutely, they're knew, much more in an area of a crisis. And I have friends who are in Canada, and they go, yeah. My house is worth all this money, but I can't sell it, because where am I going to go? I have nowhere else to go and downsize into. So that is a really big issue, that is different for them, in a bad way, versus here in the US.

GLENN: Carol, there was a -- this really nasty socialist extremist group that we exposed, that is pretty much running the agenda of the White House. At least I think, they gave the president a list of ten or 20 things. And he's done almost all of them verbatim, except for the last one on the list is, just declare a national emergency. And it's on climate. And it makes me so nervous to see him so willing to say to the gas and oil companies yesterday, that this is an emergency. And he will declare an emergency, and just take things over. That's what he's been saying and leading to for climate change. I think this is going to affect an emergency with food as well. And then eventually, jobs. What does it mean, that the fed rate has now -- or the fed growth is down at 0.0? I think that's intentional. So we don't have a month headed towards a recession. But what are we facing?

CAROL: I mean, we are facing a bunch of people who are completely disconnected with reality. And like you said, they may be the puppets of nefarious actors. It makes absolutely no sense. And it's so frustrating. Because, yes, we do have an emergency. And they're the ones that caused it. And they could get us out of this emergency. They could shore up economic security. They could shore up national security. By just doing a 180 on policy. It's pretty clear, if you're saying, there is an emergency here. We need to do something. But it's not just an emergency today. It's an emergency for the long-term. So it would be really great, to say -- for them to say, you know what, we understand. Maybe we got this wrong. Or, you know, we're in a different situation. If they don't want to admit that they're wrong. And we're going to continue the green agenda. But we don't want to have fossil fuels, come out of Venezuela or the Middle East. Or these countries that will do it in a fashion that is less clean. And we want to lead the way with the clean fossil fuels, and we're going to become the leader. And we're going to shore up your economic security. We're going to shore up national security. We're going to shore up the security for our allies. And that's the plan going forward. And I don't care. Take credit -- pretend this is your brainstorm, and none of us knew this. If you want the credit for it. I don't care. I just want to make sure we don't have all those things, that you talked about. The food insecurity. The rolling blackouts. The social unrest that comes with that. And that leading us into full-scale global war. I mean, that is potentially where we are headed. And he could change all of that today.

GLENN: The problem is, people keep saying, they won't admit that they're wrong. But I am -- and maybe it's the cynic in me. But I've just seen too much. I don't believe they are wrong. I think they're getting the results, that they want.

CAROL: Yeah.

GLENN: This is -- this is too -- too perfect, in destroying the country.

CAROL: Yeah.

GLENN: You know what I mean? You -- you can't be wrong this consistently.

(music)

CAROL: What would I be doing differently, if you were trying to do it intentional?

GLENN: Yeah. Exactly right. Carol Roth, thank you so much for being on with us. We'll talk to you again, next week about cryptocurrency, et cetera. You can follow her on Carol J. Roth, on Twitter. Or find her website. CarolRoth.com. Back with Mo Brooks and the economy, next.

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.

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?

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.
