How we can FORCE Bud Light (& others) to end its WOKE TRASH

Simply boycotting a product usually doesn’t work. Why? Because big business executives — especially at massive corporations like Anheuser-Busch or Coca Cola — don’t truly care about the feelings of YOU, the consumer. But a recent video posted by an alleged Bud Light distributor about the company’s decision to use trans activist Dylan Mulvaney as a marketing tool highlights the ’smart’ way we CAN fight back, Glenn says. In this clip, he explains exactly what that strategy is. We CAN win the battle against these companies’ woke nonsense, Glenn explains. We just have to be smarter. Watch Glenn dive further into this topic tonight, during his GlennTV Wednesday Night Special on BlazeTV.com at 9pm ET.

GLENN: All right. I want to play something. This is a Bud Light distributor.

And he's talking about the sales of Budweiser. Listen to this, cut one.

VOICE: I work for an affiliate company. I'm a merchandiser, and the sole product of the company I work for is Anheuser-Busch products. So with all this canceling going on, there's -- I mean, I've never seen such little sales in this past few days. On these products. That's -- that's sad, because people don't buy this beer, I don't make money, and I can't feed my family. So it's kind of heartbreaking, I guess. That Anheuser-Busch did what they did. They don't know their clientele. So it's kind of heartbreaking. Thanks, Anheuser-Busch, I may not be able to feed my family coming up here soon.

GLENN: Okay. This is something that I think you really need to be aware of. These -- like, for instance, Coke. And I learned this from a former executive at Coke.

These -- these soda and beer companies. Beverage companies.

They don't really care about you, because they're not connected to you.

It is the local bottling companies. And distributors, that make all of the difference. You start making their distributors uncomfortable, you start -- these are people that live in the community.

Like that guy. What was he saying?

He's working for Budweiser.

I mean, he's distributing it. He's putting it all on the shelves.

He's the guy that has to get it to the local stores.

And he's dying. So that will go back up the chain.

Believe me, when Coca-Cola distributors or Pepsi distributors, or the distributors of Anheuser-Busch, when they get pressure in their local community, when you as a business call them and say, you know what, I don't think I want your stuff anymore. You tell Anheuser-Busch, this is crazy.

I don't want it. You tell Coca-Cola, I don't want their garbage anymore.

They don't know who the customer is. I'm out here in the country. I know who the -- the customers are.

And they're not white racists Coca-Cola.

And Bud Light, they're not for transgender issues being pushed into everybody's faces. And certainly, they're not for transgender issues being pushed to children in schools.

So no, thank you, Anheuser-Busch.

You begin to say that to the local distributors.

And they're easy to find.

If you begin to say that. And you reach out, as a friend of the local.

Because he's probably on your side.

They're probably cut from the same cloth.

Because they live in your community, depending on what community you live in. They live in your community. Because so on they probably reflect a lot of your values.

So you can call them up, and go, dude, what are you doing?

I don't -- I mean, I can't support you anymore.

I want to.

I know that your doesn't eat. But I can't do it. Because my customers don't want it.

And I have to draw the line in the sand. So you need to tell Anheuser-Busch, in no uncertain terms, enough is enough.

If we connected smartly, we would be able to conquer these guys.

Because right now, they don't care. You know, here's another thing.

When you -- when you look at the activists on the left, they're in these people's offices. They're in their faces. They're holding meetings with people.

So -- and I don't know if you saw the letter that they put to the insurance companies, but they are putting the screws to the insurance companies right now.

And they're saying, we will report you to the government. We will report you to all of the activist groups.

We will make sure that your name is mud, if you don't stop insuring oil drilling.

And you have until this date, this summer, to let us know where you stand. It's -- it is a terroristic threat. It's the closest thing to a terroristic threat, I've ever seen in business in America.

It is ruthless.

Well, they have those people in their office.

Who is on our side, in their office?

Who is meeting with these people, at the national level. They're only seeing one side.

We have to be smarter, in what we're doing. And the place to begin, is the local distribution and bottling companies, that are schlepping this stuff.

Because as long as the bottle -- the local bottling companies are fine. They're not going to say anything.

But you start messing with that.

You start turning the corner with the people who are actually on the street, delivering the beer, and the soda.

That gets the attention of the big boys.

And I think you can win with Budweiser.

You just have to play it smarter.

Look, we are going to talk about this, and the transgender nonsense tonight, on my Wednesday night special on Blaze TV.

We have to take a look at the next step of the fundamental transformation of America.

ESG was designed as a leverage point to force private businesses into compliance, and partnership with the government.

Red states are pushing back on the E. But not so much on the S and the G. The E for energy. But just like Republicans always do. When it comes to you, they will drop the ball.

And that's the S and the G. Social and governance.

They are just as important. A top-down wave of violence has been hitting the streets lately, to enforce E, S, and G.

Have you noticed that?

Remember, we told you, when it would come, it would be top-down, bottom-up, inside-out. What does that mean?

This is an old strategy from communists, back during the Soviet Union. The way to flip countries, is to go in, infiltrate everything.

Would you agree that this has infiltrated everything?

Business. Education.

Media. Government. Everything.

Everything.

So they would infiltrate. And they would make sure that they had people in government, in high places, positioned for the next phase.

So what they would do is they would -- after they had everybody in position, they send these -- well, in this case.

They're sending the people, who are very upset about trans rights. And the top whips them up into a frenzy, like for instance, Nancy Pelosi. What? Yesterday, or the day before, giving a speech in San Francisco and saying trans people and trans children are under threat. They're coming for you.
Well, I don't know anybody who is like, we have to get the trans people. I don't know anybody who is saying that.

I do know people who say, they want this to end with their children. And they would like this to end with this lie.

That it's, A, normal. And this much of the population. Listen to this from TikTok user. There's no labels or restrictions on this guy. Listen to this.

VOICE: Y'all really want to say there aren't trans kids. Let me tell you what there aren't. There aren't cis kids. Okay. You telling your child. Oh, you're a boy. You're a girl. This is a child. This is a free spirit that hasn't learned any of that bull (bleep), until you force that on them.

So cisness is the wound. Cisness is the delusion. Cisness is the lie. Cisness is the place of pain.

Transness is the healing. Transness is the growth. Transness is the truth.

Transness is what we actually are.

We are fluid. We are 70 percent water. We are God. God is change. God is trans. We are trans.

You are forcing your kids to be boys and girls.

GLENN: Wow.

VOICE: We're saying, be whatever you are, baby. Be free. Be water. Be light. Be sky. Be God. Because guess what, that's what we actually are. What we actually are is trans, is change, is love. We're not the ones doing the forcing. And see God chiming just on time.

GLENN: Good God. That guy is not mostly made of water. He's mostly made of bull (bleep).

Holy cow. So this is the lie.

We have gone from a society that has at that says, hey. Be cool with Caitlyn Jenner. And I don't know anybody who wasn't. Once they started to say, you have to say he's beautiful as a woman, I think that's where people were like, no. I'm not going to be mean to Caitlyn Jenner. But I'm also not going to lie. It's a bad-looking woman. Okay?

Maybe a good-looking attitude. But not a good-looking woman. That's where it started. And we had actual compassion, and then we were introduced to words like cis -- cisgender, you remember?

It wasn't long before we were all saying, what does cis mean? What is that? Just another made-up word. They are erasing truth. And look how far it is. Now, we're all fluid, now, we're all water. We are God. How terrifying. This should chill to you the bone as Americans.

That we are God. And we are fluid. And it's your cisness that is the wound.

You inflict that on children. Where are the medical studies? Where are any medical studies that back any of this you up?

There aren't any. Anything that they're using, is so flawed, Sweden and France are running from it, saying, this is extraordinarily dangerous.

What are we doing?

The reason why all of this is happening, the violence, Riley gains is going to be on the program tonight.

Wait. Wait until you hear our conversation.

What happened to her, was not about her. It was about you. It's an invisible hand, manipulating American businesses, and I say invisible, because it's gone mainly unnoticed. I mean, until Bud Light decided to make a dude dressed up as a woman, as one of their brand ambassadors. But this is what ESG does.

This is a top-down. The guys who are now in control, are signaling to their street thugs. The brown shirts. Go ahead.

Do what you want. Stir it up. We've got your back. We're not going to prosecute.

You go ahead. Until it gets so bad, that you will cry out. How do we replace all of the cops in our country, that have retired, or gone away?

No recruits. How are you going to do that?

Well, you're not going to do anything locally. Because the locals do able to handle it. Everything breaks down. Locals won't be able to handle it. Don't worry, the federal government can assist. This is a communist story line. That happens the same way, every time.

You just have to get past your fear. Because that's what they want you to feel.

Is fear.

If you don't have any fear, because you're fighting for your kids, and your grandkids. And you're like. I'm not having my kids grow up in a world like this. Where they are slaves. Where they are punished if they think for themselves. If they disagree. Don't talk to me about book burning. You guys are the ones rewriting the books, well after people are dead

You're not just book burning, you're changing the meaning of them. You're on the right side.

Have no fear. Don't miss. Tonight, our Wednesday night special, at 9:00 p.m. only on Blaze TV.

It is exposed. The secret behind the trans activist army.

Trump's peace deal: A new era for Israel and Hamas

Israel and Hamas have signed phase 1 of President Trump’s peace deal, paving the path for the release of all remaining hostages, hopefully in a few days. Glenn and Stu explain the significance of this historic deal and what it could mean moving forward.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Oh. Your initial thoughts here on the peace deal?

STU: It's an incredible opportunity. I think it is important to remind ourselves, that this -- these things typically do fall apart. That is essentially your expectation, any time anything like this happens. Part of this is going to be Hamas coming through on promises.

I have very little belief that they are typically able to do such things.

That being said. They probably also -- you know, one of the things -- a friend of mine pointed this out to me. We were going through all of this.

And he said, you know, one thing to think about it: This is, like, not the B team of Hamas. But the R team of Hamas. They've killed so many of the leadership.

GLENN: Yeah, yeah.

STU: These are people making decisions that were not at the top of this organization and had those ridiculous ideological beliefs that would lead you to October 7th. That's not to mean that Hamas, these people that are left are like, "Hey, you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving."

But I do think there's a possibility here that they're like, you know, maybe this life is not here for us.

GLENN: That would be nice if that were true. I don't know if that were true. But it would be really thyself.

STU: I don't know if that's true. I do think there may be a little bit lower ideological commitment, potentially. And also, the idea that some of these people might be able to make this deal and escape to another third country.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: And live life there, in a different way.

GLENN: So the breaking news that just was announced, Israel, their parliament or their cabinet just met or approved phase one of the deal.

And Hamas has just come out and said, they accept phase one of the deal.

That means the hostages will be released either this weekend or Monday.

Any remaining hostage will be released.

STU: I mean, just that.

GLENN: Just that.

STU: If that occurs, it is a massive achievement.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: So far, it is already the greatest opportunity we've had.

And only possible because of his detection to this idea!

GLENN: And his deal-making.

Not just his vision.

But his ability to work all of the parties and find out what all the parties need.

And make it happen.

You know, we're not talking about peace between Gaza, you know, Hamas, and Israel.

We're talking about peace in the Middle East.

STU: Yeah. It's bigger. It's bigger than just Israel.

GLENN: I mean, it's Egypt and Saudi Arabia and -- and Jordan to some extent. And -- and Turkey. All of them getting together and saying, you know what! We'll rebuild Gaza. We want to make it into a very prosperous kind of area. I mean, think of places in Saudi Arabia that are so prosperous. That's the way Gaza could be. So they're all getting together and they're saying, "We will rebuild. We'll oversee. We will try to make everything -- you know, keep everything held."

They will put their money into it, which means they have a lot to lose if it goes awry. And they're all saying, "We can co-exist with Israel."

Three years ago, did you even think that was possible?

STU: Yeah. And, you know, look, there are a lot of places you can go and find non-stop criticism of Donald Trump. They will say terrible things he does, and everything he does is the worst thing ever.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Also, there are plenty of places you can go where you find that everything that he does is the greatest thing of all time.

I hope you realize that's not what we do here. And I -- on a -- I said this -- and you said this as well when we -- when this was unveiled.

Sometimes, you can get -- people are critical of the way Trump handles these situations.
Sometimes. And sometimes there's arguments on that.
Sometimes it's not the best approach.

You know, we were critical of him, for example, how he handled Canada. You know, probably cost Poilievre that election. And I think that's a really bad thing.

GLENN: I do on top.

STU: That being said, this is a great example of where his instincts work perfectly. This is all set up over a long period of foundational stuff from his first term. With the decision he made, to come out and just announce the agreement with Netanyahu. We agreed. We agreed to this peace deal.

Now, in theory, we have no position to agree between these two parties. But he came out and all of the focus had been, look at all the bad things Israel is doing. Look at how bad, they're so evil. They're so bad.

And he said, we agree with Israel. Now we just need Hamas.

And so the world's attention was like, what's Hamas going to say?

Finally, he was able to focus his attention to the appropriate place. To the party that is holding the hostages, to say, hey. How about asking if they want to a freaking cease-fire for once?

He was able to do that. In a way that I think only Donald Trump could achieve. Which leads to this, over a long foundation.

GLENN: And here's another thing.

You know, this guy has walked through wall after wall after wall of fire. Everybody calling him everything. Nazi, every day.

Here's a guy who, you know, in a time period where the whole world is like, the Jews control everything. Donald Trump is run by the Jews.

He not only kept his relationship with Israel solid and helped them, when he thought they were right. But when they were wrong, in his view, he chastised them.

He knew how to do it. And still hold their respect.

And gained the respect of places like Qatar. And say, so Qatar. When he chastised Benjamin Netanyahu and Benjamin Netanyahu had to I think apologize to some degree about what they did in Qatar.

That's when the Middle East went, wait a minute.

He's not being controlled by the Jews! You know what I mean?

That should be a really big wake-up call to everybody who thinks that Donald Trump is just being controlled by the Jews.

No. No. No. He's not.

He does what he thinks is right. And he'll chastise both sides.

And he will support either side. When they're right, to get to a deal. That's good for everybody.

This deal could be amazing.

I don't have any -- and it's not because of this deal.

I happen to -- I read the end of the book. So I know how this ends.

This will not -- you know, this is not --

STU: You skipped ahead?

GLENN: I skipped ahead. I skipped ahead.

STU: Don't ruin anything.

Don't -- no spoiler alerts.

GLENN: I won't. No spoiler alerts.

Let's just say, this might last for a week. It might last for a thousand years. I don't know.

But we will be in this situation again. We all know that. We all know that. But let's take and celebrate peace while we can.

And the hostage is coming back. That is massive. Massive.

And due to Donald Trump.

Today, if you don't like Donald Trump, fine. Fine.

But how do you take this one apart?

Honestly, how do you not claim this is a massive victory, for the whole world?

STU: Well, I can tell you, that a lot of people on the left are rooting for it to collapse, which is a shockingly revealing moment. I mean --

GLENN: Wait. What?

STU: They are -- you know, they're not going to be out there like, we hope this collapse is.

But you know they hope it collapses.

They don't want to give Trump credit for it.

And they would rather have this continue. They would rather have this war go on.

Than admit that the reason it's ending is because Donald Trump was able to negotiate this deal.

That is central!

GLENN: I think anybody who has played politics with the Palestinian, you know, all that stuff. And all the stuff on the streets. That -- that has been a very effective tool for them. And so I would agree.

And they don't want that tool to be taken away.

STU: You think the Hamas wing of the party wants this? You think Rashida Tlaib is all thrilled about Donald Trump's efforts here. They will hear about Ilhan Omar -- how wonderful --

GLENN: Those are extremists.

STU: I mean that. This is a very revealing dividing line on the left. Right?

If there is anything that is ever going to happen, that Donald Trump can be given credit for. That you think this could be clear. John Fetterman. Fetterman has obviously pretty good on this issue. But Fetterman came out, gave a statement that should be basic. Basic. Like, hey, this is good. And I really hope it works. Donald Trump did a good job on this.

That's the type of stuff that should be obvious for everyone to be able to --

GLENN: That's what "Tip" O'Neill would have done. "Tip" O'Neill and Ronald Reagan, they got together. They disagreed. They fought hard, but they had dinner.

Yeah. Because "Tip" O'Neill could say, that was good. That was good. What he did was just good for all of us.

STU: That worked well. Good. I'm glad that happened. You should be glad that happened. We should all be rooting for the success here.

Even if what the -- you know, like, I rooted -- again, I have all sorts of criticisms the way Barack Obama dealt with the Middle East.

Yeah. Plenty of them. And we went over them over and over and over again.

And plenty of issues with specifically the way he went after Osama bin Laden. But on the day that it happened, really happy about.

Very happy that we were able to do it.

Now, look, it's our military that does it. They can say all this stuff too. They can say, oh, well, the real reason is. Blah, blah, blah.

But we can still be happy, that this occurred. And you can still be excited and give credit where credit is due.

GLENN: This is a win for all humankind. For humanity!

For life!

Stopping Hamas from torturing. You know, torturing kidnap victims.

Stopping the bloodshed that was happening because of the war on both sides.

That is a win. Having the possibility of a stable Middle East, at least for a while. That's a win!

That's a win all the way around. Everyone should be happy. I don't care if you like the president or not.

Everyone should be happy that mankind, put one on the chalkboard for all of mankind today.

This is a huge -- never seen -- this is on the good side. Never seen this one before. Didn't see this one coming.

I mean, we should all be able to say, wow!

And thank you. Because he's the -- I really, truly believe, when it comes to negotiating things like this, there is nobody better.

I mean, that's what he does for a living.

And he knows it. He knows how to read people. He knows how to it.

And this is evidence of it.

STU: And he will do things that are so out of the norm. That it resets everybody's thinking. You know, I mentioned --

GLENN: If he wouldn't have done that. If he wouldn't have done that, we wouldn't have all the Middle East signing on to a peace deal.

STU: I respect. What would they have done in a situation like Trump was with Netanyahu?

Their advisers would have said, "Look, this is great. You guys are together on this. Let's go to Hamas. We'll talk to them. We will see if we can get something done. We don't want to ruin it by announcing it publicly. There are times, where that tactic cannot work. But it worked really well here."

He forced them to basically say, "No, we don't want a cease-fire," or, "Okay. We'll go along with this."

And, by the way, you go down this list, there's a lot of stuff -- this is Hamas never, ever having control of this region ever again is built into this agreement. Now they've only talked about -- they're only on phase one here. So we don't know that we get all of this stuff. But like, there's a lot here that really improves the lives of Israelis, of --

GLENN: Palestinians.

STU: Arab Israelis in the region. You know, Palestinians. Other Arabs in the region.

GLENN: Saudi Arabia. Everybody.

STU: Yeah. Not to mention, just globally.

Right? This is a positive.

GLENN: Look what this does.

That's Turkey. So that separates Turkey from Syria, which is right in bed with -- with Iran.

I mean, think about how this box is. If you have the entire Middle East, now operating with Israel, and saying, we have a right to exist. Think about what that means, for this block, now to Iran. Iran doesn't mind being a pariah.

But now, everyone is officially saying, aisled do business with them.

STU: We will choose business over these guys.

That's a big statement in that world.

GLENN: That's a big deal. Big deal.

Gold is at $4k an ounce. What that means for YOUR dollar

Gold has reached a record high price of over $4,000 an ounce. So, what does that mean for your dollar? Financial expert Carol Roth joins Glenn to explain why this news is so concerning and why many big investors have started to buy gold.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Well, Carol Roth, welcome to the program. How are you?

CAROL: I'm doing great, Glenn! I'm actually celebrating my 26th wedding anniversary today, so it's a blessed day.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Congratulations! Congratulations! It's weird. I'm coming up on my 26th on January.

CAROL: Oh, fabulous. Fabulous. It's a good amount of time to be married, yes.

GLENN: It is. It is. So, Carol. Let's talk about the price of gold hitting --

CAROL: It's over 4,000.

GLENN: Which is nuts. And I don't think people really understand. I don't think the average -- this is my guess, and I want you to correct me. I don't think the average person is buying gold. I think this gold-buying is happening from sovereign funds and central banks, mainly. Also, Asian markets. I don't think Americans really understand what $4,000 an ounce means. Can you explain it?

CAROL: Absolutely. I think the world both, investors and central banks are catching up to the things that you and I have been talking about for years. So, you know, we're ahead. We warned everyone. And now this is a little bit of catch-up. Interestingly, you know, as you noted, the average American is very behind in terms of what gold means.

When you look at Chinese households. When you look at Indian household. There are estimates that each one of those country's households owns up to 30,000 tons of gold at this point. Which to put that in context, the US government owns 8,133 times.

GLENN: So the Indian households, all of them combined, 27,000 tons.

CAROL: Right.

GLENN: What we say we have, is he 8100. Wow!

CAROL: So the households in China and India are really ahead of the curve. When you look at data for the US, it's a little bit hard to get good data. But from what I've seen, the estimates are only about ten to 11 percent of US households at all, have exposure to gold.

Now, I know that your audience is very sophisticated and is ahead of the curve. And I would imagine blows through that number. But just shows how sort of unprepared US households are in general.

GLENN: When you're looking at Indian and Chinese households that own gold. Does that include all the gold jewelry?

CAROL: Yes. Yes. That's actually, particularly in India. One of their preferred ways of procuring gold. Yeah.

GLENN: Okay. So gold has -- gold has shot up over $4,000 in record times. I mean, breathtaking time. What is causing that?

CAROL: Okay. So there are a confluence of factors, and I think the two most important factors, which, of course, are linked. Are what Wall Street is now calling the debt debasement trade. Which they're just caught up. And gave it a cute name.

And changing the global financial order. And they're very much linked.

GLENN: Yeah. Tell me, what is it? The debt debasement? What is that?

CAROL: They're doing the debt debasement trade, which is just basically what you and I have been talking about, which is our unsustainable fiscal position.

GLENN: All right.

CAROL: And what all of the money printing that we've seen over the past 17 years, what that has done to our purchasing power, and how that's going to catch up to us.

So as a reminder, our debt to GDP is at emerging market crisis levels. We were at 120 police levels of GDP.

We're running deficits equivalent to a war-time level. Or recession level, while we still have growth.

Which is crazy. We have interesting interest rate -- or interest payments that are outpacing defense spending.

So everyone is now finally catching on to the fact that this is an unsustainable financial position.

And it is going to be very difficult to get out of. Without there being some sort of additional debasement of our currency. Which is a fancy way of saying, a diminishment of your purchasing power.

What's really crazy. There's a chart that's been going around, and they did kind of a comparison of different asset classes. Price in US dollars, price in gold.

So if I look from the end of September 2018, out seven years, and you look at the top 100 NASDAQ nonfinancial companies. It's called the NDX. In US dollar terms, that is up 236 percent. So you think you're super rich, right?

But in gold terms, solid money that doesn't -- you know, that doesn't have its value debased. It's only up 4.7 percent.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

CAROL: Yeah. Of course. The S&P 500 up 133 percent over that period in dollar terms. It's down 27.6 percent in gold terms.

And what's called the Case-Shiller Home Price Index, which is the value of homes, the way that's measured. Dollar terms, 60 percent. Oh, houses. So expensive In gold terms, it's down 50 percent.

In fact, right now, it takes less gold in terms of ounces, to buy the median single-family house, than it has in decades and decades and decades.

So it goes to show, that even though we see these dollars. They're buying less and less. And now, you and I were talking about this forever.

But now Wall Street is catching on. Oh, that's not a great thing. And so in terms of preserving the hard-earned capital, we need something that is that -- that hedge. That mutual hedge that is going to retain its value.

And that's why more investors, institutional investors. Funny enough, a lot of millennials, more than anyone starting to really get in to gold.

GLENN: You know why? Because millennials have not been trained their whole life. Trust the system!

CAROL: Yes.

GLENN: And they see it clearly. And they look at it, and they're like, well, this doesn't make any sense at all. And they're going to spend this.

And they will wreck the dollar and everything else. They just see it without being trained over and over and over again. Like, trust the system. They don't trust the system.

And once you realize, the system is rigged in a million different ways. And the system is not telling you the truth.

I mean, that is amazing. When you look at the stock market. And you say, it's actually down, when you compare it in US dollars. To gold!

What's happening -- let me explain this to the audience. What all that means is: Gold is only going up in dollars. It's staying -- it's staying stable. But it's costing you more because of inflation. The dollars are buying less! So it looks like you're paying more, but you're really not. It looks like the stock market is going up, but it's really not! It's what it costs to get in with dollars. If you're going in with gold. You'll actually see that if it was all done in gold, the stock market is down. The price of housing is town.

It's the dollar. It takes more dollars to buy, than it does with gold, which holds its value.

That is -- if people could understand that one thing, that changes all the conversations of, the government has to do something to make housing more affordable. No, they don't. They have to stabilize the dollar. They have to stop spending so much money.

CAROL: Yeah, I mean, if you think of the three definitions of money, it is a medium of exchange. You know, how you helped to exchange goods.

It's a unit of account, which we say, things are priced in dollars, and it's supposed to be a store value. The unit of account, that you just talked about. My friend Steve Forbes has a great analogy, and he talks about other measurements.

You know, imagine that your clock, you know, one day, at 12 o'clock, you know, means midnight. And another day, 3 o'clock means midnight. Or 6 inches to measure a curtain one day. And then the same measurement is like a foot, a different day.

You can't have -- a consistent measurement if the unit of account continues to change. And that's what we've been seeing here with the dollar. And unfortunately, it has not been to our favor.

Which means, that when you work really hard to earn something and it's valued in a dollar, that over time, that -- that work that you put out, your productivity is worth less and less.

And so what gold is meant to do. It's meant to be Capitol preservation. It's not a risk asset. It's not meant to take on risk. And maybe go up a ton. And maybe go down a ton. It's really meant to be a counterbalance to what you have earned. So that you can preserve your purchasing power.

GLENN: You know, I've been saying this for a long time. That you put your money. And I have money in the stock market. You put the money in the stock market.

If things really go awry, go ahead. You're going to cash out for an awful lot of money. But those dollars. It will be paid back to you in dollars.

Those dollars will be worth less, even though there's more of them stacked up, than that ounce of gold, or, you know, that 10 ounces of gold, or whatever you had!

The stock market is paid in dollars. And so as the inflation goes up.

But gold keeps its value!

Keeps its value and hold it steady.

So, yeah. You will be paying more in dollars if you try to sell your gold. But that will continue to increase while stock markets will go down. Am I right?

CAROL: It's a counterbalance. So if things were to shift, and for some reason, you know, things were to change with the dollars, which we would need a lot of different catalysts. Then your gold goes down. It's a counterbalance, which is why it's important to have that diversification in your portfolio. And to have the gold hedge.

What's interesting, Glenn. Just the history, we're talking about millennials.

You know, they went through the great recession. Financial crisis.

They're kind of keyed into this. But if you think about when we came out of the '70s with this crazy inflation. We came out of the gold standard. It used to be very commonplace for a financial adviser to sit down and say, okay.

We've been through this. And so you should be putting, you know, five to 10 percent of your portfolio in gold. As the stock market took off in dollars. And became this big thing.

And they started seeking fees. That went away. Financial advisers, who don't get paid sometimes at all, when you allocate to gold. Stop recommending it.

GLENN: Yep.

CAROL: And now we're seeing a shift back, now we're seeing, you know, oh, yes. You should have some. Some of the big names out there saying, even more.

GLENN: Ray Dalio just came out and said, 15 percent.

CAROL: Yes, we've seen big names like that, anywhere from ten to 20.

And when they surveyed high net worth investors, which are $250,000 in assets or more, they're averaging right now, 21 percent of their holdings in gold.

So it's a very big flip in recent years, on how this is being viewed bit people who have accumulated those dollars and are worried about them.

GLENN: Okay. So let me just summarize here before we move on. On to some other questions.

That is exactly what my grandfather who lived through the great depression said. What are the people with big large amounts of money doing?

I want to do that. And if I did do that. I would be better off in the great depression.

You just heard it, 20 percent or more, right?

From big dollars.

They're investing in gold. 20 percent!

You should -- you should have some!

CAROL: And it's interesting. Some of the portfolios we're seeing is coming from not only the equity peace, but from the fixed-income peace, which is pretty interesting too.

GLENN: Amazing.
