Here's just ONE horrific result from Biden’s BORDER CRISIS

Teenage opioid overdoses have SKYROCKETED — they’re up 350 percent. This is just ONE of the horrific results plaguing America thanks to Joe Biden’s MESS at our southern border…which is about to get even worse when the Biden administration lifts Title 42 in May. But why wait until May? Just The News reports that a President Biden memo sent to the Border Patrol instructs agents to grant migrants ‘exceptions’ so they can cross the border more easily. In this clip, Glenn breaks down the OUTRAGEOUS qualifications included in these new ‘exceptions'...

GLENN: Well ahead of next month's lifting of the title 42 immigration restrictions, Joe Biden has ordered Border Patrol agents to begin allowing illegal migrants into the country, by granting them multiple exemption to see the current health regulation. Yes. Yes.

PAT: Yay! Yay!

GLENN: Now, factors in favor of an exception, include the following. A physical or mental illness.

PAT: Okay.

GLENN: Okay?

I -- I don't know about anybody else, but, I mean, do we need more mentally ill people in America? I think we have our share of mentally ill. But physically ill.

Wow. That's kind of broad. Disability. Pregnancy. Lack of access to safe housing or shelter.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Oh.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And if you're over 21 years old or over 70, you and your family can get in. So that's great. That is great!

Going to have 2 million new -- well, not really Americans. But 200 -- 2 million new people living in the United States. And I'm -- I'm not saying they're not people. I'm saying, they're here illegally. Well, a border is only a construct.

Yes, it is. And I wish we would construct more of that border fence. But we don't. See, countries like ours are like a lifeboat. And when you take the lifeboat, and point it back towards the Titanic. All those people sink the lifeboat. And then that lifeboat doesn't save anyone.

PAT: Uh-huh.

STU: So you think --

PAT: To understand the concept though.

STU: That he thinks that humans can be illegal. Humans can't be illegal, Glenn.

GLENN: Yeah. Thank you.

PAT: Years ago, illegal aliens -- illegal immigration is only a construct, itself. The whole thing.

STU: So is all of civilization. I don't know if that --

GLENN: Here's the thing: Humans can't be illegal. You're right. They're not. They're just doing illegal things. I love people saying, humans can't be illegal. Now, sure, they broke some laws getting here. But you can't just smear all of them. Excuse me. I'm not. You are.

I'm saying, they're breaking the law getting in here. Do it the right way. Oh, no. That's too much to ask. Okay. All right.

Well, what do I say to that? I guess you could go into a bank, and take out some money. You could either take it out of your account, and play by the rules. Or you could break the law. And steal that money.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: But I would call you a bank robber then.

Well, humans aren't bank robbers. Well, dogs certainly aren't.

PAT: No. Some humans are bank robbers.

STU: Really?

PAT: Yeah. Yeah. That's not an artificial construct. That's a real thing. Yeah, right.

STU: We can all agree at least, when we lift title 41, this will go really well.

PAT: Oh, yeah. It's going to go well. 18,000 a day, they're expecting. 18,000 a day, that's not very many.

STU: That's it. What's the number now?

PAT: Last month, 221,000 whatever it is, for the month.

GLENN: Are they going to make them take their shoes off, and their belt off as they come across the border? Just so they can be scanned, you know. Are they going to at least have to do what we have to do, at the airport? And will they have to do that, at the airport?

Because many of them won't like it. Because how dare you stop me, while I'm getting on a plane.

PAT: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

STU: And, of course, they won't have the same restrictions we have on airplanes. They won't have to wear masks, the entire time they're here. They will not have to be vaccinated. Certainly. That would be totally fine. Those will be overlooked.

PAT: And the good thing is, if it's only 18,000 a day, that just works out to 6,570,000 per year. That's not that many.

STU: That's not that many.

GLENN: In a country of 330 million.

PAT: Come on. Come on. It's a drop in the bucket.

GLENN: It's no big deal.

By the way, teen opioid deaths have surged by 350 percent. This is a completely unrelated article.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: 350 percent. Now, that's because fentanyl is coming, you know, into America.

I don't know how. I don't know how it's getting across.

STU: Who could know?

GLENN: Let's not even talk about how it's getting --

STU: Good idea.

GLENN: But it's about 100 times more powerful than morphine. And has been linked now to 77 percent of all overdose deaths, by teenagers. Since 2021.

STU: I think it's ABC News. That's doing the special on this coming up soon. And it made me think about it a little different way. You just said overdose deaths. Isn't that a completely differently way of looking at what's happening? These teenagers are taking a pill, thinking it's a different pill. And inside it, it's fentanyl. They're not overdosing it, thinking, I want to do this much fentanyl, and now I'm doing this much. They're just getting poisoned. These drug cartels are just poisoning teenagers, all across the country. And we're just acting like, oh, jeez.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Don't dehumanize those drug dealers. They are trying -- they are trying to provide the greatest experience for their -- so how many people do you know in business go that extra mile? The drug dealers are. You're going to get an even bigger high off of this one. If you don't die.

STU: Right. It's fascinating. I think part of this too goes back to this idea that the media jumped on the opioid thing. And decided they wanted to blame this one rich family for it. The Sackler family. Which, again, the Sackler family followed all the guidelines from the federal government. There's been a weird construct of this from the beginning. But to make it seem like these are opioid overdose deaths, you have to have this idea that, well, this evil billionaire family was targeting these people, trying to get them hooked on their medicine. And then just kept upping it and upping it and upping it. Well, that's not how these people are dying.

Some of them -- some of them were addicted to opioids and tried to get them, for some reason, on the open market? Why would they need to get them on the open market? Why would they need to get them not from the company that's producing them?

They need to get them from drug dealers, because it's hard to get them because the government has blocked them people who need them from getting it.

GLENN: Well, also the box does say, for end of life use only.

STU: Right. But the overwhelming percentage of people who are dying, are not addicted to fentanyl because they want to take fentanyl. They're going to take something else. Sometimes something very moderate. Not even like an illegal drug, right?

They're going to take something that maybe they shouldn't be taking. So they get it from the black market. Then that's laced with fentanyl, and then they die. But how is that Perdue pharmaceutical's fault?

GLENN: It's not. It's not.

STU: They didn't put the fentanyl in the pills. They don't have anything to do with the pills that are killing people in a lot of cases. That's not universally true.

But this idea, that they want to blame this one rich family has overwhelmed this entire issue.

GLENN: But wait. Wait. It is -- I mean, I haven't heard of the black market arm of the pharmaceutical company. You say in most cases. Well, then those were probably stolen. And if the pharmaceutical company is like opening a giant jacket. Hey, I have got truckloads of fentanyl in here. Who wants it? Then we should shut that down. But at the same time, we're shutting down the supply line at the border!

STU: Right. They just tried to implement the plot line from Ozark into reality. That's not reality. That's a show. This is an amazing thing though. Especially with conservatives. Here we are, so pissed off at the border. Justifiably so. This problem seems to be a bunch of Mexican and South American drug dealers, poisoning our teenagers. And we're like, these drug dealer deaths. That's not really -- that's not really the right way to look at it, is it? If they were poisoning our food supply, this would be a totally different -- we would be freaking out in a totally different way. Yeah. Obviously. Some people are using drugs in ways they shouldn't be using them. So we --

PAT: Some of the fentanyl deaths are coming from cocaine. Because they're mixing it with cocaine. And then you snort it, and then you die.

STU: And then you die.

PAT: Like Glenn said, fentanyl is kind of powerful.

GLENN: Can I tell you? I took it for two days. Doctor is trying to get me out of pain. I'm like a horse. You just can't get me out of pain. So I had it for two days. I didn't even know what it was, I was so drugged up. It almost killed me. It almost killed me. I didn't know what it was. And I went to my other doctor, my regular doctor, told him like two days after I got off it. Because it said end of use only, and I said, you know what, I think I'm going to stop that one. And my doctor said, why would you let a doctor prescribe you that? I'm like, A, he's a doctor. I thought it was fine.

STU: Right.

GLENN: And, B, I was kind of screaming in pain. I just wanted it to stop. So I wasn't -- hang on, Doc. Let me read -- let me read all of the warning signs. I figured he would do that for me.

PAT: Yeah. You didn't read the brochure that comes with the fentanyl?

GLENN: No, I didn't. I didn't. But I did strangely have a pharmaceutical rep that came and talked me into it. Jeez.

By the way, in this story, they said, what we need is urgent action. Including expanding access to opioid addiction centers. We have to do that. No. No. We should close the border. That should be our immediate action. Close the border.

PAT: When there's even Democrats from some of these border states, that are begging Joe Biden not to remove title 42?

Then you know there must be some kind of reason for it. Yeah. Secure the border. And even some Democrats understand that concept. Not the ones, of course, in the White House.

GLENN: I was listening to one of our affiliates, the morning show. One of our affiliates, up in Virginia.

And they were talking about -- last week, they were talking about, what Texas had done.

You know, busing people up. And they rightly -- rightly so said, you know what that will do to our city? You know what I mean?

It's the only way to get people to understand what's happening in their city. Because we're overwhelmed right now. We're overwhelmed on our borders.

What? Texas has to do it? No. We're going to send them up. And what's interesting, is they -- the District of Columbia, did not take those people. No, they shipped them to another town.

PAT: Of course. Of course.

GLENN: Yeah. Back in just a minute. Thanks, Pat. You can see Pat and Pat Gray Unleashed, wherever you get your podcasts.

The ONLY Trump/Epstein Files Theories That Make Sense | Glenn TV | Ep 445

Is the case closed on Jeffrey Epstein and Russiagate? Maybe not. Glenn Beck pulls the thread on the story and its far-reaching implications that could expose a web of scandals and lead to a complete implosion of trust. Glenn lays out five theories that could explain Trump’s frustration over the Epstein files and why Glenn may never talk about the Epstein case again. Plus, Glenn connects the dots between the Russiagate hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up, and the Steele dossier related to the FBI’s new “grand conspiracy” probe. It all leads to one James Bond-like villain: former CIA Director John Brennan. Then, Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, tells Glenn why he believes his former boss Brennan belongs in prison and what must happen to prevent a full-blown trust implosion in American institutions.

Rumors explained: Is Fed Chair Jerome Powell OUT?!

After rumors spread that President Trump would soon fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Trump has said that he's "not planning" on it right now. But is it possible for Trump to fire him? Will he resign? And how is the Fed Chair even chosen in the first place? Glenn and his head researcher Jason Buttrill explain ...

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Well, last night, I was rapidly looking the lie some of these rumors, on X.

Pretty incredible people on what's going on with Jerome Powell and the fed.

What the heck?

I was actually popping popcorn and watching this. It was so crazy.

GLENN: So it's just the rumors, that he is going to be stepping down?

JASON: Well, yeah.

Yeah. Anna Paulina Luna. Congresswoman. She was saying, it was almost imminent, that he was about to be fired. Actually fired.

There were other rumors saying, well, we're not sure about fired.

But he's considering resigning.

GLENN: Yeah. You know why.

JASON: We were like, what the heck is going on?

GLENN: So do you know why?

Do you know why he's resigning? Any guesses? I mean, you had popcorn out. I would love to hear what you have come up with.

JASON: So there was the CPI stuff coming out. The interest rates going up.

We know that the President wants interest rates to come down. I'm assuming that is what the deal is, and there's some sort of internal battle going on.

GLENN: Well, and the president can't fire the Fed chief. Okay?

So the Fed chief is the one that nominated. The federal reserve is the biggest crock of bullcrap I've ever seen in my life.

It's nothing, but the five biggest banks. Okay? And you know which ones they are. They're the ones that keep getting bigger. And everybody else is falling to the wayside.

So the Federal Reserve is the arm of those five banks.

Okay?

And they suggest, who the president can select from.

So the president can't say, I don't want any of these guys. I want this guy. Can't do it.

He has to take a look at the list that all the banks have put together. Is. Say, pick from this list, Mr. President.

Did you know that?

JASON: It's kind of how Iran chooses their next president.

GLENN: It's exactly. It's exactly that way. Except, this religion is all about the almighty dollar.

Okay. So he can't -- he can't pick on his own. But the president has a right to pick one, you know, every term. If it comes up in his term.

The president wants this guy out. And I think he's been really, really bad.

Because he's been wrong on almost -- on almost everything. But show me the -- show me the Fed, you know, the guy who the Fed was right ever.

So he can't fire him. But he wants him out. Because he wants interest rates dropped.

And, you know, the jobs are coming back. Things are coming back.

But interest rates keep coming up.

And the -- and the interest rates, if we keep our interest rates high, we have a harder time borrowing money for our debt.

And it just gets more and more expensive for everybody all along. So the president wants him to back off interest rates. But the Fed chief believes that that could cause more inflation.

Which I think he's right on that one. And I hate to say he was right on anything.

Because I don't think he was ever right.

Makes me question myself. When he's like, well, I think he might have a point on that one. But the president is like, no. He can handle it.

I want them down. I want cheap money again.

He refuses. So what has the president done?

The president can only fire him, with cause!

So what do you do when you can only fire somebody with cause, and you want them out.

You find a cause, and this one is easy.

So the Fed has been the one leading the way saying, we can't keep borrowing money.

We've got to have some fiscal sanity. Right?

This is going to kill us. We have to keep these interest rates high, because you are borrowing too much money. And maybe this is the only way to stop you.

So we got to keep it high, because you've borrowed too much money. And how many times has he testified in front of Congress? We've got to cut. We've got to cut. You can't keep spending like this.

Okay? Well, did you know that the Federal Reserve, with our tax dollars, the five biggest banks, a/k/a the Federal Reserve, is redoing their offices. To the tune of two billion dollars!

Now, I don't know what kind of wallpaper they need there.

But that seems like a pretty hefty renovation, especially when everybody is looking at cutting things. And you're lecturing me about spending money. So they get money from the government, okay? They're telling us, stop spending.
Stop borrowing.

Except, okay. What you've borrowed. I need $2 billion of that, to redo our offices in Washington, DC.

Excuse me?

Why don't you do that yourself. Okay. I think banks maybe have some money.

So they're borrowing that money, and there's $700 million over.

So it's $2 billion. $700 million over budget. And they're still not finished.

And the problem is: They're putting in water features.

They have a rooftop garden they're building.

JASON: Okay.

GLENN: I mean, it is -- it's insane. The president now knows, really? You want to play this game with me. I will sit your ass down in front of Congress, and you answer to the American people, how you're lecturing us about spending. And you're putting in a rooftop garden and a water feature in your office. No! No.

So the president is now threatening, I'll fire you for this. You want to quit, now would be the time to quit.

Otherwise, I'm dragging your butt in front of Congress.

You answer to the American people for this. And they will beg me to fire you.

That's what's happening.

JASON: I looked at that a lot.

Because I was like. There's got to be some leverage that the president had, because they can't get rid of.

But that is a pretty big cut. That sounds like a Babylon Bee article. $2 billion.

GLENN: It does. It does. $2 billion, 700 million over budget.

JASON: Oh, my gosh.

GLENN: I mean, and these are the responsible bankers. No, I don't think so.

It just shows, they don't mean what they say. They'll just keep doing it for themselves. You know, if you really believed that America was really on that financial cliff, why would you do that?

You would lead the way and say, guys, we are going to be the only responsible ones here.

We will lead by example.

No renovation. You know what, go to IKEA?

You need a new desk. Go to IKEA, and get a new desk. Well, we have to keep up our image. We're not going to have a country.

So what do you say, we go to IKEA?

Our image should be, we are going to lead the way out of this madness!

That's what a leader would do.

JASON: So, Glenn, I still don't think I get this disconnect between Trump and Powell on -- we know Trump wants to lower interest rates.

Powell is standing back and saying, basically, he doesn't want to do it.

Is he trying to undermine President Trump on this?

GLENN: President Trump thinks so. President Trump thinks so.

I think so, to some degree.

I mean, I'm worried about inflation.

Look, you know what happened. Do you know what's happening with yap?

JASON: What's happening with Japan?

GLENN: So what's happening with Japan, is Japan has always had this really amazing image of, we're solid. We're absolutely solid.

This is target to crack. The foundation.

1989.

Let me go back to 1989.

This was the crown jury trial of the global economy.

Back in 1989, you probably aren't old enough to remember.

All of a sudden, Japan owned everything in America. We were just becoming Japanese, and everything was being purchased by Japan. Kind of like it feels a little bit like China now.

JASON: They even owned Nakatomi Plaza, Glenn, that Bruce Willis had to save -- they owned everything in every '80s movie!

GLENN: Oh, yeah, they owned absolutely everything.

Okay? And the -- things were so insane in Japan. The grounds of the imperial palace, in Tokyo, on paper was worth more than the entire value of the state of California.


JASON: Wow!

GLENN: Okay?

So their land. Everything just shot up. And so they had all of -- they were flush with all this cash.

And people believed that Japan had suddenly, you know, cracked the formula for, you know, eternal prosperity.

That's the problem. Then it all started to fall apart. And the asset prices. That they had mortgaged against.

Okay?

They had borrowed. Well, the imperial palace was worth more than California.

That doesn't make any sense. You wouldn't mortgage it like that. At least long-term. I will do this real quick, and pay it off.

You would never, ever mortgage, because you know that's inane. Well, nobody ever wanted -- and it seems in governments, nobody ever wants to believe that this is just a fluke. Okay?

So the asset prices collapse. The stock markets plunged. And for three decades, they have gone into this very polite political coma.

Okay? Economic coma. And so the central bank did something radical. They were the first ones to set your interest rate at zero. They lowered the interest rate. They made money so cheap, it was nearly free. Zero percent interest. Sometimes, they would pay you to take out money.

So the -- they had negative interest rates. Can you imagine that? Now, you're not fixing the problem. You're just printing wallpaper to cover the mold. All right?

So they've done this for decades.

Now their debt is I think 260. Or 280 percent of their GDP.

I think, what is ours?

100?

80 percent.

Something crazy. 120. You never believe back.

The death threshold is usually 120, 140.

They're 260 percent of their entire economy is debt.

That's not a crack. That's a fault line.

So this week. Or was it last week? Things started to creek and grown in Japan.

And the government bonds, which are like our treasuries. Is this getting too complex.

Are you following this still?

JASON: Yeah.

GLENN: Okay. So their government bonds.

They were the safest investments on earth.

One of them. Okay?

It's us. Japan, Germany.

They started to fall.

Hard. And when bond prices fall, interest rates were the easily go up.

All right?

So they borrow all this money.

260 percent of their GDP is borrowed. Okay?

So they borrowed all of that money. And they had it at like 3 percent interest. Whatever.

2 percent interest.

And they were paying people.

2 percent.

Well, all of a sudden, the cracks started to appear. And people were like, I'm not sure this is stable at all.

And then the belief of the system started to -- to go away. So people started selling their Japanese bonds.

Once they do that, now the yields have to go up.

What happens when yields go up?

What happens when interest rates go up? For a government. You have to pay more interest on your debt!

Okay?

You add two or three points.

Just imagine, you have an adjustable rate. Okay?

This is a government having an adjustable rate. Except, they have 260 percent of everything they make, in debt!

And it's all leveraged.

And now, their adjustable goes up two, three, four points.

You're not able to afford that anymore, okay?

So massive problem.

Because what it really means is. People don't believe in Japan.

They know the con game is now over.

And investors are saying, you know, I want a whole lot more in return.

Because I just don't believe you anymore.

And it's not just Japan's problem. This is not a neighbor's house on fair.

This is -- imagine we're all living under the same roof. This is the neighbor's apartment, on fire.

We're all under the same roof. We all have the same foundation. And so when this happens to Japan, you should pay attention. And I'll show you the ripple effects in just a second.

GLENN: Okay. So now if Japan -- that means there's a stampede out of Japan.

And people are starting to look and reprice the risk of their money.

Now they're like, wait a minute.

The most stable. You know, if you're driving a car and it is the safest car in the world and all of a sudden, they just start blowing up on the highway.

You're like, I don't think that's the most -- that's the safest car on the highway.

And if that's the safest car, what does it mean for the car I'm in?

You know what I mean? So now, this is going to push US interest rates going up.

Which makes our mortgage rates go can up. And our car loans more expensive. And the national debt. Which is already costing us $1.2 trillion a year, just in interest.

Now, they can't sell their treasuries. People are skittish on treasuries. Maybe they come to the United States, but they're not so far.

They're getting out of the Japanese interest. Or the bonds there.

Japan has to pay their bills.

What do you do when you have to pay a bill?

And you don't have any money coming in.

You don't have enough money coming in. What do you do?

You sell something. Right? You sell your car. You sell something that you have of value.

Well, what do they have? What do they hold of value? US Treasuries.

So now, we are trying to sell our bonds, for our new debt, they hold our old debt.

They're saying, hey. Anybody want to buy this debt? Because I have to sell it. Fire sale. What do you give me for it?

Okay?

Which makes that debt more attractive, because they can get a better deal there.

Which means, if we want to have new debt, we have to raise our interest rates. Which means, we pay more for interest for our mortgages and everything else.

And it floods the market with bonds, crushing the prices, skyrocketing the costs for us.
And causing even more trouble, in other countries, that have US bonds. Because they start to look and go, nobody is buying these bonds.

Well, of course not. You have two countries. The two stablest countries besides Germany.

You have the two stablest countries now selling US Treasury bonds.

Okay? Really, really bad.

Now, let me add this on.

Germany is now having to pay for their own army.

And so they said, they're going to borrow money.

To build the army.

And they're going to lower their interest rate. So they can borrow more money. All right?

And now, the German bund, which is -- you know, like our Treasury. That's now starting to fall apart.

Well, Germany has some assets, they can sell.

What do you think that asset might be that they want to sell?

US treasuries.

We have been playing an extraordinarily horrible game.

This is why I believe the president wants somebody else in charge of the Fed, because the Fed can say, we're lowering the interest rates.

Because he's got to get more money into the system. So people can spend money, can start businesses. Borrow money.

Get things moving, so we can increase the amount of taxes that we collect.

The more people money -- the more people make, the more taxes we collect.

So he's like, we've got to grow the economy. And the only way we can grow the economy is to lower the interest rates.

But at the same time, interest rates around the world because of what's happening with the bonds is going through the roof.

We are in a very -- we've never been in this position before.

Why the Term "Conspiracy Theory" is CIA-Created Weapon for Control

Conspiracies are of course real and occur every single day. But yet, many in the media and elite political circles attempt to use the term "conspiracy theory" to smear and discredit those who are skeptical of conventional narratives. Where did this term come from and how should we understand it? Journalist Alex Newman joins Glenn Beck to break this down and how it impacts the world as we see it today.
