Why saying ‘that will never happen’ IS NO LONGER ACCURATE

‘That would never happen HERE!’ It's a saying most Americans have uttered before. But we’re now living in a different world, Glenn says, and scenarios that once seemed impossible firmly are on the table. To prove it, Glenn goes back to October 1969 with a story about President Nixon, the Soviet Union, and nuclear war that proves ANYTHING can happen…

GLENN: Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

Pray for the people in Russia, as well as the people in Ukraine.

There is a big anti-war effort going on in Russia.

And it is getting ugly.

You can -- you can see the things that have been leaked out on the internet. On the number of arrests, that are happening now, from people. If you disagree with the war, you can't say anything.

And they will pick you up. That woman that was on television, the national broadcast for the evening news, in Russia.

The Russian anchor was giving the news. And this other news woman walked behind her with a sign, that said, stop listening to the lies. They're lying to you.

No war with Russia.

And -- and she can't be found today. So pray for those who are standing up, and speaking the truth.

Because I think that will be a lot of people, all around the world.

STU: Let me ask another question.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: This is going to show my cowardice of life a little bit here. Is it worth it? Is what she did, was that a good decision?

GLENN: Yeah. I think it was.

STU: I think I'm supposed to say that it was. And when I watch it, I say, you know what, that's really brave and a good decision. However, when I think about it, I'm like, pragmatically for a moment, maybe a million people in Russia saw that. It's probably a high number. I don't know.

A million people saw it. How many minds did she change? I don't know. Maybe a few. A few thousand, maybe.

GLENN: I don't think about changing minds. I think about giving people the feeling, oh, my gosh, I'm not alone. And there are people in very high places that know.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: Can you imagine if that happened on ABC News, when they were talking about The Great Reset?

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And somebody -- and somebody that worked in the newsroom, walked behind and said, don't listen to them. About covid.

Don't listen to them, they're lying to you.

That would make a huge impact. At least -- at least at the very least, on the psyche.

STU: It would make -- if you believed in it already, it would make you feel good about it, I think.

It may change a few minds too. Like, maybe you have a few people looking into something.

There's a story. Because of the New York Times.

One of these mainstream sources, talked about a father/son duo.

One father living in Russia, son living in Ukraine.

And the son, the war starts. And he is like, hey. I haven't heard from my dad. Bombs are falling all around me. My dad hasn't called me to see if I'm okay.

He calls. His dad is like, hey. You know what's going on here? I'm in Ukraine. Bombs are falling.

He's like, no, no, no. That's not happening. His dad in Russia, didn't believe his own son. Believed the state media, who was telling him, that's not happening. They're just going to de-Nazify the region.

So it's pretty powerful. Maybe it did change some minds. But on the other hand, she also gave up -- maybe she sacrificed probably her life.

Let's be honest about it. Whatever life she might have ahead of hers, is either close to destroyed or destroyed.

GLENN: So this is one reason why I want you to start thinking differently about the world.

Let me give you an example. About a month ago, it was insane to think about, that we were going to actually think that maybe somebody would drop a nuke. Anywhere in the world. Right?

That's nuts. We all know, that's nuts.

But you have to know, who you're playing against. And right now, the world is a little nuts.

Let me take you back to October 1969. Six American B-52 bombers, each loaded with a nuclear bomb flew over Alaska, toward the Russian border. Most people don't know this.

President Nixon ordered the mission. He had been in office, less than nine months. Seven years after barely avoiding a nuclear war, with a Cuban Missile Crisis.

He decides to order missiles, on B52s, to start flying toward Moscow.

So we -- we didn't start the Cuban Missile Crisis. But this one, we did.

So remember, Nixon was the vice president under Eisenhower. And the Cold War was at full tilt in the 1950s.

And we kept each other in check, by what was called MAD. Mutually Assured Destruction. You could destroy each other. So why would anybody do it?

However, all of this theory depended on a country's ability to strike back within minutes of being fired upon, otherwise, your missiles would be crippled, and you couldn't retaliate. That's where the nuclear football comes in. It's the black Satchel, carried by the military aid, wherever the president goes. And it has the launch options. The code. Communication. So we can have a nuclear response, instantaneously. Well, one of the reasons Nixon won in 1968, is because he said, I'm going to end the Vietnam War. But after he took was, negotiations with the communist, north Vietnamese stalled.

And he needed something that would start the peace talks again.

So Henry Kissinger and President Nixon hatched an idea. Very risky plan. They will make the Soviet Union think that Nixon was on the verge of using nuclear weapons, to end the war in Vietnam. And that hopefully would cause the Soviets to say, North Vietnam, you have to go back to the table.

Nixon told his chief of staff. Quote, I want the north Vietnamese, that I reached the point, that I might do anything to stop the war.

We'll just slip the word to them, that for God's sake, you know Nixon is obsessed about communism. We can't restrain him when he's angry.

And he has his hand on the nuclear button, end quote.

So during the last two weeks of 1969, the U.S. Air Force and Navy mobilized nuclear-armed planes and submarines around the world.

They wanted enough activity to make the Soviets notice, but not enough to spark a crisis. The nuclear angle made everything really kind of tricky. So after a few days of U.S. readiness exercises, the Soviet ambassador requested a meeting with President Nixon. And Nixon put on his best poker face. And he told -- the -- the ambassador, that he was serious about this.

The ambassador reported back to the Kremlin, that the Vietnamese Crisis was, quote, taking such an emotional coloration, that Nixon is unable to control himself, end quote.

So you've got planes with nukes, flying towards Russia.

The ambassador tells the Russians, the Soviets, don't pressure the Vietnamese.

He raised the steaks, ordered nuclear-armed flights. Six B-52 bombers over Alaska. They reported the flights for three days. On the third day of flyovers, the Soviet ambassador sent an urgent message to Moscow saying he wasn't so sure that Nixon wouldn't pull the trigger.

But the Russians thought differently. They thought, he's not going to do it.

This is a bluff. He won't do it.

Nixon was looking at this as a winnable bluff. A winnable chess match. But there's a couple things to look at and learn from history.

We said, we were going to send planes to Poland.

Then for some strange reason, we said no.

Every time we say there's a red line in the sand, and we don't do it, they learn something about us.

But there's something else that we should learn from.

There is zero margin of error, when it comes to nuclear weapons.

In the last few days of the Nixon presidency, he was depressed, and he was drunk, a lot of the time. And there was concern, at the time, that his irrational thinking, at the time, he might just do a nuclear launch.

Does anybody have the same concerns about Putin? If the Ukrainian war drags on?

Does anybody have that? Nixon's Defense Secretary said, if Nixon gave any nuclear launch order. Military commanders had to check with the Defense Secretary or Kissinger before proceeding.

You heard that one before?

The Defense Secretary wasn't actually allowed to change the protocol like that. But the Nixon White House never had many qualms about bending the rules. Especially on this one.

It was the morning of August 9th, 1974.

Nixon signed his one sentence resignation order. At 10:00 a.m. in the morning, he walked out of the White House for the last time. He departed on marine one.

He was still president for another two hours. But the nuclear football remained at the White House.
(music)

All right. Let me talk to you a little bit about Goldline.

I -- I'll tell you right now, been a great investment for many. But I don't buy it, as an investment.

I buy it as a hedge against insanity. People always say, oh, gold is a hedge against inflation. Well, that would be -- that would be now. But no matter what anybody says, when the world resets, it does reset to a barter. And then it resets to gold. Every single time. That's why China is doing it now.

I want you to call Goldline now. And ask them about some of the things that they have going on right now.

STU: Yeah. We were talked about buying gold a little bit this hour, with Dave Ramsey this hour.

And he mentioned the ten-year number, that it was not a great return on gold over ten years.

GLENN: 3.5.

STU: Something like that. Yeah.

Which is less. It was obviously up. But less than the stock market. And that's true, if you measure from exactly ten years ago, when there was a little bit of a bubble, and then it came back down for a few years.

GLENN: Well, he specifically talked about, you know, back before the crash. And around the crash. You were talking about gold. And I was telling people, don't that do. Because that was crazy.

STU: Yeah. Gold is way, way up from those periods. In fact, when we first started talking about it, it was up six or seven X, just looking at the chart, eyeballing it. Where the S&P 500 is only up four X from there.

It obviously depends on when you measure these things. But, I mean, gold is at an all-time high.

And we're at, what? $2,000, and it's been rising.

It's been a really good investment from the period, we've been talking about.

And you have never come out and said, like, oh, what you need to do is take all your money and buy gold bras. You're talking about it, as part of your strategy, and it's worked out very well for the people.

GLENN: It's a hedge against insanity.

And gold and silver are something -- Dave Ramsey was just on. He was talking about a barter community. Well, you might barter in blue jeans and bullets.

But you would also barter in something like silver. You know, I've been saying for a long time.

You have to think like a German Jew. Look, things went on. You know, the economy tanked. But things went on in Germany.

And even after the fascists took over, there is light at the end of the tunnel. We survive all of this. That will be the shocking thing. Most people survive. You just have to get from point A to point B. And when they were taking everything away, from the people who disagreed with the Third Reich, they would barter in diamonds and art and silver and gold. Until it was finally taken from their teeth in the end.

Gold has intrinsic value. And right now, with every graded 5-dollar gold Indian purchase, you'll receive one of the unique silver mind your business bars at no cost. Call Goldline to find out why I buy the type of gold I do.

And why it may or may not be right for your family. Also, if you're already a client of Goldline, there's additional bonuses offered this week. Just call them at 866GOLDLINE. 866GOLDLINE. Or goldline.com.
(OUT AT 9:49AM)

GLENN: Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

STU: Have you followed this Hong Kong situation at all? What is going on with covid in Hong Kong?

GLENN: No.

STU: Very bizarre. It's very unique to the world, I think. They went for zero covid. They went down that strategy. You know, plenty of places have attempted that. It's obviously not very successful in most of them, especially since Omicron hit.

But they went down this road.

And oddly, didn't vaccinate their old people.

So like, a decent amount of their population is vaccinated. But not people who are like 80 and older. For whatever reason, they didn't -- only about a third of people --

GLENN: For whatever reason.

Let's guess what that reason is.

STU: What is their --

GLENN: Well, they just changed their one-child policy. To say three children. Why?

Because they don't have the population, at the lower end, to keep funding the upper end.

STU: Interesting. I didn't really think of the -- I --

GLENN: Yeah. That's -- that's a country that doesn't believe in the individual. Get rid of them. Just let them die.

STU: We've hit that point, where Hong Kong is no longer separate. That is a big cause for what we're seeing, I think with Russia and Ukraine. A signal to the world, what the United States is going to do in these situations. But they didn't vaccinate their old people. So they had no covid, no natural immunity, because covid never really hit there.

Until like last month. And now, it's taken over, to the point where they have for you broken records, for when it comes to rate. Obviously, not raw numbers. But when it comes to rate the most covid deaths, are now at the highest daily covid deaths of the pandemic.

And it is --it -- including like beating Italy from like March 2020.

GLENN: Wow.

STU: It's past all of them. From when it comes to rates. It's passed like all of the European countries.

Throughout this entire thing.

GLENN: So is that because they -- they stayed inside, so they didn't get any natural immunity?

STU: No natural immunity. And the zero covid thing, held until this. You know, they had basically -- so no one got natural immunity. So it's all hitting at the same time. They have something like a 5 percent mortality rate. For these -- in this group. It's 80 years old. When you're 80 years old, obviously that's the real danger point. But there's no protection. No natural immunity. And almost no vaccine immunity. Only about a third of the population, above 80 years old was vaccinated. And in that group, about half of that, was sort of mediocre Chinese vaccines that may or may not do anything.

GLENN: Oh, how dare you. How dare you.

STU: I know. It's racist probably for me to say, that many of these vaccines suck.

GLENN: Right.

STU: But still, so they are still in this real, real problem right now.

And you wonder, if the Chinese government is just like, oh. Okay.

Well, if they encouraged that over the last couple of years, that would be fascinating. Because they're still going for zero covid too. And now that's going to affect the supply chain all over again. Because China is shutting down.

GLENN: By the way, I believe the first national stamp to show somebody flipping somebody off, comes from Ukraine. They have a soldier on an island, flipping off a Russian boat. God bless Ukraine.

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

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

VOICE: Top level of one of the --

VOICE: To unfold from New York City.

VOICE: A plane crashed just --

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

VOICE: It's pandemonium.

VOICE: It's raining papers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I mean, what do I know?

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

Really? Huh, that's interesting.

Right. So globalize the intifada.

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

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

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

Oh!

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

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

I mean, if we're globalizing that.

We're the Nazis in this scenario.

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

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

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

Or the Nazis. Who are the Nazis in that?

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

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

I'm just saying!

But, hey, hey, free Palestine.

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

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

They were also among the donors to his mayoral campaign.

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

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

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

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

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

No. This is something entirely new.

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

America is really responsible for this.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That's political Islam!

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

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

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

No. Uh-uh.

You know why?

Because Muslims are often the first people in line.

The first victims of the ideology.

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

It's mostly peaceful, okay?

Then there's the Islamism.

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

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

Of course, you never see a problem with it.

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

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

And it's -- it's supremacy.

Absolutely. Faith.

Religion.

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

It's misogynistic.

Deeply intolerant of all kinds of things.

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

It will behead them too.

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

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

In my opinion. In my opinion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

That there has to be an intifada here!

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

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

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

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

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

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

See, this is how smart they are!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Really bad people.

Anybody who is shouting for globalized intifada?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad people.

Okay?

Now, let's get to communism.

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

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

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

Nothing. He's just like you!

Well, not exactly.

But let's talk about communism, next!

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

That's going to work out.

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

It's free!

City-run grocery stores.

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

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

Really?

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

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

But he's going to do it.

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

They were great.

The shelves were empty.

But that's just Moscow.

It worked out completely different in Venezuela.

Where, oh, no.

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

They were eating the zoo animals.

But it will be different in New York.

Because they have rent controls too.

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

You know, you voted for it.

You know better.

It will work this time.

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

But, you know, why not? Why not?

You know, use this dogma.

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

Yeah. Darn it. You know what they did?

They decided to take state control of things.

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

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

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

Which is weird!

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

This is weird!

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

Oh, wow.

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

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

It's going to be great for you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This time, it's just 8 million people.

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

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

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

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

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

Are you stuck in the past?

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

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

Wish I lived in this morning.

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

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