Healthcare Bill: Mitch McConnell and the GOP Lied to Congress

There is a lie being pushed by conservative media members regarding the Senate's version of the health care bill.

"That lie is that the parliamentarian has said, 'You cannot repeal Obamacare. You have to choose.' And so the parliamentarian would not allow them to fully repeal Obamacare," Glenn explained.

There's just one problem: The parliamentarian was never asked and, in fact, ruled they could take all of Obamacare or none of it.

"The leadership and Mitch McConnell have lied to the members of Congress. Now, I don't know why, but it appears to me as though they're running out the clock because they want a progressive insurance program. They do want single-payer health care," Glenn said.

Mitch McConnell and his ilk never intended to repeal Obamacare because they want control of it.

"I ask you to ask yourself: Do you believe Mitch McConnell or do you believe Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and those who are around them?" Glenn asked.

Something is wrong, and it's the usual suspects.

"Unfortunately, because we are so split and so many of us are feeling we need to protect the president because the press is lying, we're not looking at the other hand, which is controlled by Mitch McConnell," Glenn said.

GLENN: Welcome to it. The Mercury Studios in Los Angeles, California. Hello, and welcome. I'm so glad that you've tuned in today. Now, there's a few things I want to talk to you about on the Senate. First of all, the CBO scoring came out. And it's not good news for the Republicans.

So let's look at what the CBO said. Now, remember, the CBO is always low. They've never come out and said, "Oh, my gosh. This is going to be so expensive." And it turns out that it's cheap. It is always low. I don't know how they do it, but they have a perfect record of underestimating the cost of everything.

So here's what they came out and said yesterday. Stu.

STU: You know, it's interesting, the big takeaway from pretty much everybody is 24 million people will be uninsured because of this plan. Rachel Maddow tweeted that 24 million people losing insurance is roughly equivalent to the population of 15 particular states. So this is a big deal. The only thing being reported from the CBO report.

PAT: It will also reduce the number of people on Medicaid by 15 million by 2026.

STU: Right. But that's part of the 24 million.

GLENN: And, again, it's not going to -- that's not going to happen. Because that's not being enacted until 2024, 2025. This is just not -- they'll never get there. They'll never get there.

STU: First of all, obviously, five Congresses from now, we cannot count on them to maintain these cuts to Medicaid. I mean -- and, again, you know, part of the cuts to Medicaid come with an offset of increased payments from the exchanges, which is what we typically refer to as Obamacare. So it really isn't -- it -- a lot of these are just partisan lies by people who want to defeat the bill or people that want to praise the bill.

So what is the 24 million number? The important part about that, that everybody needs to know, when you're talking to your friends today and they say, oh, 24 million people are going to lose insurance, the most important part about that is the vast majority of those people are going to lose insurance because they are not going to have someone come into their home and rip their insurance policy up and take it away, they are going to choose not to sign up. These are people who are forced into signing up now because of the fee. Signing up only because of the fee. And when the fee goes away, the Obamacare individual mandate fee, they will choose not to purchase insurance anymore. That is not the same as taking it from them.

GLENN: Right. I want to really make sure that everybody understands. The individual mandate happened because if you don't have the mandate and you understand the free market system, insurance isn't insurance. If I can go and buy insurance -- if I go to the doctor and he says, "You have cancer," and I say, "Crap, I don't have any insurance," don't worry, Son, I'm your Uncle Sam. Sign up today. And even though you've just been diagnosed with cancer and have let your insurance lapse and haven't had it maybe even in your entire life, the American people are here to bail you out.

Okay. All right. Well, that's not insurance. That's a guaranteed health program that everybody gets it.

Now, the problem with that is, you're still running a sham operation. And instead of saying, "We have a single-payer system that everybody just pays extra tax, and we all have insurance. And we don't ever have to worry about signing up," what we're doing is we're taking the free market and telling it, "You cannot make a profit. You cannot -- you must take all of these risks. And, by the way, it's not that they just have to take you. They cannot raise anyone's rate because they've let their insurance elapse (sic). That's what happens.

If you let your insurance lapse, they know you're not a safe bet. You haven't been paying in the pool. And this is the idea of, when we say, we're all in this together, it means that all of us, all of us have to pay something in.

So whether it's -- you know, it's the widow's mite. Whether it is $10 a month, but you've paid something in, you pay it in.

But what's happening is, all of the paperwork, all of the -- all of the teams of attorneys, all of the teams of people to make sure that paperwork is in, is sucking up all of the money that should be used for health insurance.

Now, let me tell you what's happened because of it. You are told that if you do this, you would get $2,500 decrease. You -- every family in America would save $2,500 at least in the first year alone. Instead, we have had a 140 percent increase in your premium. Why?

Well, that makes you hate -- now, think of this. Think of this as strategy. Who do you hate? I don't remember the people hating the government. I don't remember people hating the Democrats or the Republicans.

I hear them hating who? The insurance companies. The insurance companies are getting rich.

Okay. Well, gee. But they're being forced to do stuff. And a lot of them called this on themselves. So I don't have a lot of sympathy for them. But this system doesn't work. It is going to collapse.

Well, I hate the insurance companies. And nobody is saying, "Well, it was the federal government that put unreasonable rules in, this forced these companies to do this, and it increases their -- their cost of doing business. And so they're passing on all of that risk now, to those who are paying for insurance." It's exactly what we said would happen. It's happening now.

So here's what's -- here's what I think is -- is happening. And we have -- we have some sources on background. And I will tell you that what you're hearing in the left media is an absolute lie. And what you're hearing for the most part in the right is an absolute lie.

The -- the mainstream media wants to destroy Donald Trump and the Republicans. The right media wants to protect Donald Trump and the G.O.P. establishment. You're being asked to believe Mitch McConnell -- forget Donald Trump. You're being asked to believe Mitch McConnell over people like the guys that got in -- the Mike Lees. The Ted Cruzes. The Rand Pauls. The people who have stood by their principles and never wavered, those people are being blamed for this.

Now, let me tell you what has happened. You're going to hear -- and you're already hearing it from people like Hugh Hewitt, who I really like and respect. I like Hugh Hewitt. I don't have anything bad to say. But I know he's one of them that is on, currently beating the drum, which is the Mitch McConnell lie. And that lie is that the parliamentarian has said, "You cannot repeal Obamacare. You have to choose." And so the parliamentarian would not allow them to fully repeal Obamacare. There are two provisions that have to be repealed.

What they did is they repealed the mandate. But they didn't repeal that you -- that anybody with preexisting conditions or cancer and they find it today, they don't have a preexisting condition. See, when we hear preexisting conditions, we think of people like my daughter, who has had cerebral palsy her whole life and is struggling. And trying to get her on insurance is crazy.

What we're also talking about are those people who are irresponsible. Now, some can't afford it. Some are irresponsible, that are like, I'm not paying -- why would I pay for insurance, when I can just get it when I'm really, really sick? I'm young. And then I'm in a car accident. And I don't have car insurance. Because I don't need it. Nothing is going to happen to me. And all of a sudden, we're paying a million dollar bill.

That is the person that you need to concentrate on. Because that person is directly influencing your 140 percent increase.

So we're getting rid of the mandate that says to that 20-something, you have to have insurance. You have to have it.

We're getting rid of that. But we're not getting rid of the insurance company. You have to pay for that person who didn't have insurance. And that you cannot raise the rates if they've let their -- if you've let their -- if they've let their insurance policy lapse. Those are the two drivers that affect you. Those are -- those two things are the reason you've had 140 percent increase.

Without those two, insurance rates will go down, and you'll be able to afford your insurance again. With those two in and the mandate taken, your insurance rate is going to go up faster than it has under Obamacare.

To me, this is -- what they're doing is they're blaming the parliamentarian. I want you to understand, that is an absolute 100 percent, total lie. The leadership of the G.O.P., under Mitch McConnell, have lied to those senators who were part of the committee who were saying, "Look, we want to work this out. We want to work this out, but you have to get rid of those two things because that's the main driver." And the pain for America is the insurance cost. The premiums going up. If the premiums weren't going up, you wouldn't be having a problem with this. But the premiums are going up.

And so you have to reduce the premiums. They said, "Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay." And then never did anything about it.

And now they're running out the clock, and they're saying that the parliamentarian is the one who has stopped it.

But I want you to understand, the parliamentarian was never asked. The parliamentarian has ruled, you can take all of it or none of it. There is no reason to take half of it for parliamentarian rules. It's either all or none.

And the leadership and Mitch McConnell have lied to the members of Congress. Now, I don't know why. But it appears to me as though they're running out the clock. Because they want a progressive insurance program. They do want single-payer health care. They want control of this. And they don't mind squeezing you, to get universal health care. Because if they fix it now, it's going to be so painful by '18, they're going to have another plan to fix it. And this time, they're not going to have to worry about those constitutionalists like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul and Mike Lee. They're not going to have to worry about those people, because they have long discredited.

Do not believe the parliamentarian lie. Because that's exactly what it is. I ask your -- I ask you to ask yourself: Do you believe Mitch McConnell, or do you believe Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and those who are around them?

Something is wrong here. And it is the usual suspects. Unfortunately, because we are so split and we are -- so many of us are feeling we need to protect the president because the press is lying, that we're not looking at the other hand, which is controlled by Mitch McConnell.

Has THIS Islamist organization BROKEN state laws for YEARS?!

A new report accuses CAIR Action, the political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, of breaking state laws with its political activism. Glenn Beck reviews this story...

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So let me go over what is -- what's happening with -- with CAIR.

You know, the Founding Fathers were obsessed over accountability.

Because they knew one thing. You know, they did. They must get suggestions from people on, you know, through tweets. They studied every single system of government.

Every single republic that survived. That didn't survive.

Why didn't it survive?

They studied all forms of government. They were trying to come up with something that could -- could set people free.

And they -- they worked really hard on putting our checks and balances in place, because they knew, once power slips into the shadows. They knew, once power slips into the shadows, once influence becomes unmoored from law, what rises is not a republic.

It's a machine. And that's what you're seeing right now. We're not living in a republic. We're living in a machine.

We -- I think we're staring at one of the largest unregulated political machines operating in the United States ever! Okay.

There have been a couple of groups that are doing sweeping investigations, two watchdog groups. One of them is NCRI and the Intelligent Advocacy Network.

And they have concluded now that the political arm of CAIR, he known as CAIR action, has been operating nationwide with no legal authority, to do the things it has been doing for years now.

They're not allowed to raise money. They've been raising money. Coordinating political campaigns.

Not allowed to do it. Endorsing candidates. Not allowed to do it, they're doing it. Mobilizing voters, shaping policy, functioning as a national advocacy network.

They don't have the legal authority to do any of it. And no one has said anything.

Now, according to the report, CAIR action doesn't just have a paperwork problem.

Investigators found, state by state, that it lacks the license, the registrations. The charitable authorizations, required to legally solicit money.

Excuse me. Or conduct political activity, in any of the 22 states in which it operates. Think of that!

I know how serious this is, because I remember what it took to get the license in each and every state, for Mercury One.

So we could operate. We could raise money. We could do things in those states. It's a lot of work. And if you don't do it, you go to jail. And they find out pretty quickly.

Okay?

22 states, they operate not one, zero legal authorization.

In Washington, DC, the city where CAIR action is incorporated, the department of licensing and consumer protection told investigators, they have no record of CAIR action ever obtaining the basic business license required to solicit funds or to operate.

Imagine how long would you last in business, especially if you were controversial.

How long would you remain in business, if you never had a business license?

You think somebody would figure that out?

In a sooner time than I don't know. A couple of decades!

This report means, that the organization if true, is engaging in unlicensed inner state solicitation.

It has exposed itself to allegations as serious as deceptive solicitation. Wire fraud and false statements to the IRS. These are big things.

And this is not political rhetoric.

Are these phrases written in black and white. In the law.

And by investigators. In California, one of CAIR's most active hubs. The state attorney general has said, the state attorney general of California has said, same pattern here!

The state of California, to say, yep. That's what's happening here.

CAIR action has never registered with California's charitable registry.

Never filed the required CT1 form. And has no authorization whatsoever to request donations. But they've been doing it in California anyway.

Fundraising, selling memberships. Issuing endorsements. Mobilizing voters. All of that has been done by CAIR action. There's no record of any license. Any permission, ever. Going to CAIR. From California. That's according to their attorney general.

Wow!

That's pretty remarkable, huh? How does that happen?

It's not just the coast. It is also happening to the Midwest, the South, the Mountain West. Every state hosting its own CAIR action fundraising page, complete with the donate now and become a member portal, despite no trace of the legal filings required to operate. That's bad!

Now, here's where the stakes rise.

Because CAIR action presents itself openly, as the political arm of CAIR National.

Investigators are now warning that any unauthorized fundraising or political activity.

Could become CAIR's national responsibility as well.

So, in other words, the parent, CAIR itself, might be held responsible.

Meaning, this is want just a rogue subdivision.

This could implicate the entire National Organization of CAIR.

Now, this is happening at the same time it's coming under national scrutiny. It's also Texas.

And I think Florida have designated the group a foreign terrorist organization. Members of Congress are now asking the IRS, the Treasury, the Department of Education to investigate all of its partnerships, all of its financing, all of its influence operations. I mean, I think they're going to be in trouble.

How long have we been saying this?

But every time, I have pointed out anything about CAIR, I have been called an Islamophobe, which shuts everything down. That is a word, developed by people like CAIR, to shut people down, so you'll never look into them.

So what happens next?

First of all, the reports have to hold up.

Regulators now have an obligation. Not a choice. An obligation to act!

State attorneys general in these 22 states, they might pursue fines, injunctions, criminal referrals.

All of them need to take action!

The IRS, needs to take action. Investigate tax exempt fraud. Treasury Department may review foreign influence or money flow violations.

Anything coming from overseas.

Oh, I can't imagine it. They're so buttoned up, right now.

DC regulators may determine whether CAIR actions entire fundraising operation has been unlawful from the beginning.

But here's the deeper question. And it's not bureaucratic. This one is constitutional.

Can the United States tolerate an influence machine, that operates outside of the legal framework, designed to prevent corruption, foreign leverage, and untraceable money?

If I hear one more time, talking about how AIPAC has just got to be investigated. Fine. Investigate.

I'm not against it.

Investigate.

Why aren't you saying anything about CAIR?

It feels like it might be a tool in the hands of a foreign operation.

Why aren't you saying anything about this?

Because here it is! It's not like, hey. I wonder why.

This is it! This is it! This isn't about silencing CAIR. Muslim Americans are -- that are full citizens, they have every right to speak. Every right to vote. Every right to organize. Participate in public life. No question! They can disagree with me, all they want.

But no organization. None! Not mine. Not yours. Not theirs. None. Should operate a nationwide political network, in the shadows and be immune from all of the guardrails that every other group must follow!

That's called a fourth branch of government!

That's how a fourth branch goes.

By the way, CAIR has placed all kinds of people in our Department of Homeland Security. Et cetera, et cetera. This organization has done it!

This is -- you cannot have a fourth branch of government.

They must abide by the laws.

No -- you can't have a branch that nobody elected. Nobody oversees.

Nobody holds accountable.

We talked about this yesterday, on yesterday's podcast. So what needs to happen is total transparency. CAIR action has to release its filings. Its donor structure. Its compliance records, if they exist. Equal enforcement under the law. I don't want them prosecuted in special ways.

Look, if AIPAC is doing the same thing. AIPAC should be prosecuted exactly the same way.
I want it equal. I want constitutional rule.

If conservatives, if Catholics, pro-Israel, environmental, Second Amendment groups, if they have to comply by the state law, so does CAIR action.

And if CAIR action has to do it, so do the Second Amendment groups and environmentalists, and pro-Israel and conservative groups. The law cannot be selective. It can't be!

I don't know how that's controversial in today's world. But somehow or another, they will find a way.

The Feds have to review all of this. If the report is accurate, the IRS and the Treasury have to determine whether false statements or unlicensed interstate solicitations have occurred.

Americans deserve to know what exactly, who is influencing our elections. Who is shaping our policy? Who is raising money in their state?

Especially physical the organization claims political authority, that it doesn't legally possess.

Because history will teach us one unchanging lesson. When a republic stops enforcing its own laws, someone else will always step in to fill that vacuum because power abhors a vacuum!

Unregulated, political power abhors a free people. So while it's about CAIR, it's not about Muslim Americans. It's not about religion.

As always, at least on this program, we try to make it about the rule of law.

One standard for everyone or no standard at all!

And that more than anything, will determine whether or not our institutions remain worthy of the freedom and responsibility that we have entrusted to them.

Trump Just SHATTERED the “Expert Class” - And the Deep State is in Total Panic

For nearly a century, Washington DC has been ruled by an unelected “expert class” operating as an unconstitutional fourth branch of government — accountable to no one, removable by no president, and shielded from all consequences. Glenn breaks down why Trump’s firing of the Federal Trade Commissioner could finally dismantle the 1935 precedent that empowered technocrats, how Ketanji Brown Jackson exposed the Supreme Court’s embrace of expert rule, and why America cannot survive a government run by people who never face the voters and never pay for their failures.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Okay. So President Donald Trump fired the federal trade commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. Federal Trade Commission is an administrative position. I mean, this is under -- the head of the federal trade commission is a cabinet member.

And if the justices uphold Trump's firing of Slaughter, that will overturn a precedent that was horrible, that was set in 1935. Remember, 1935, we're flirting with fascism. You know, everybody thinks. Because they haven't seen the horrors of fascism yet.

Everybody thinks fascism is neat, blah, blah. So what they do is they say that this is an independent person. And the president can't fire them. Because they're, you know, an independent agency.

Well, wait. That would make a fourth branch of government. Our Constitution is really clear.

There is no such thing as a fourth branch of government. Right?

So that's what they're deciding. Now, here is Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is talking about how we really need to listen to the experts. Cut four.

VOICE: Because presidents have accepted that there could be both an understanding of Congress and the presidency. That it is in the best interest of the American people to have certain kinds of issues, handled by experts. Who, and I think you -- in your colloquy, Justice Kagan, have identified the fact that these boards are not only experts, but they're also nonpartisan. So the -- the seats are actually distributed in such a way, that we are presumably eliminating political influence because we're trying to get to science and data and actual facts, related to how these decisions are made.

And so the real risk, I think, of allowing non- -- of allowing these kinds of decisions to be made by the president, of saying, everybody can just be removed when I come in, is that we will get away from those very important policy considerations.

VOICE: We will get away from US policy considerations, and it will create opportunities for all kinds of problems that Congress and prior presidents wanted to avoid, risks that flow inevitably, just given human nature, the realities of the world that we live in.

GLENN: Okay.

Now, remember, what she's saying here is, we have to have experts.

We have to have experts. We have to have experts that don't really answer to anybody. Okay?

They're appointed. And then they're just there. This from a, quote, judicial expert, who cannot define a woman, because she's not a doctor.
She's not a scientist.

She needs an expert to define a woman.
That's how insane her thinking is. Okay?

Now, I would just like to ask the Supreme Court, when you want things run by experts, do you mean things like the State Department, or the counsel of foreign relations, that have gotten us into these endless war wars for 100 years?

Because these are the things that Woodrow Wilson wanted. He wanted the country run by experts.

Okay. So is it like the Council of Foreign Relations, that keep getting us into these endless wars.

Or is it more like the Fed, that directs our fiscal policy, that has driven us into $38 trillion of at the time. We have all powerful banks. That strangely all belong to the fed. And endless bailouts for those banks. Are those the experts that you're talking about?

Or are you talking about the experts that are doctors, that gave the country sterilizations, lobotomies, transgender surgeries. You know, or should we listen to the experts, like the ones that are now speaking in Illinois, to get us death on demand like Canada has, with their MAID assisted suicide, which is now the third largest killer in Canada. MAID, assisted suicide, third largest killer in Canada. Experts are saying, we now need it here, and they're pushing for it in Illinois. Or should we listen to the experts? And I think many of them are the same experts strangely, that brought us COVID. Yeah. That was an expert thing. They were trying to protect us. Because they need to do this for our protection. So direct from the labs in China with the help of the American experts like Fauci. We almost put the world out.

Should we listen to those guys?

Or the experts that brought us masking, and Home Depot is absolutely safe. But Ace Hardware wants to kill grandma. Which are the experts that we want? That we want to make sure that we have in our lives? That they don't answer, or can't be fired by anybody. Because I'm pretty full up on the experts, myself. I don't know.

But you're right. These experts would keep the president in check, and they would keep Congress in check. And you in check!

And the Supreme Court, which would be really great. You know, and you know who else they would keep in check? The people.

So, wow, it seems like we would just be a nation run by experts, and our Constitution would be out the window, because that's a fourth branch!

And if you don't believe me, that, you know, these experts never pay a price. Can you name a single expert?

Give me a name of an expert, that gave us any of the things that I just told you about.

Give me the name. I mean, give me the name of one of them. Give me the name of one of them that went to jail. Give me the name of one expert that has been discredited.

You know, where your name will be mud in this town. Do you know where that came from?

Your name is going to be mud. It's not M-U-D. It's M-U-D-D, that comes from Dr. Samuel Mudd. Okay? He was a docks man. He was an expert. He was that set John Wilkes Booth' broken leg. He made crutches. He let him stay there for a while. He claimed he didn't know him, but he did know him.

In fact, one of the reasons they proved it.

Is because when he pulled the boots off -- when he pulled both of his boots off, right there, in the back, you couldn't have missed it. It said "John Wilkes Booth."

He's like, I have no idea who he was.

Yeah. Well, you knew him in advance. This was a predetermined outpost where he could stay. It's clear you could know him.

The guy was still discredited, we still use his name today. Your name will be mud in this town.

And we think that it's like dirt, mixed with water kind of mud. No, it's M-U-D-D, Dr. Mudd. The expert that was so discredited, went to jail, paid for his part of the assassination of -- of Lincoln.

Give me the name of one of the experts in the last 100 years, that has brought us any of the trials and the tribulations. The things that have almost brought us to our knees. Give me the name of one of them. Can't!

Because once an expert class, they don't answer to anyone. So they never go to jail.

Wow! Doesn't that sound familiar. People never going to jail!

There's a rant that's going around right now, that I did in 2020. And everybody is like, see. He's talking about Pam Bondi.

No, no. I got to play this for you, a little later on in the program. But I want to get to the experts and what the Constitution actually says about that. Because you don't need my opinion. What you need are the actual facts. So you can stand up and say, yeah. I think Ketanji Brown Jackson is an idiot. Okay?

And she's really not an expert on anything. Especially the Constitution. You need the facts, on what the Founders said. Because the Founders would be absolutely against what they did in 1935.

Because that just -- what does it do?

It just sets up a fourth branch of government.

EXPLAINED: Why the Warner-Netflix/Paramount Merger is DANGEROUS for All of Us

The biggest media merger in modern history is unfolding, and Glenn Beck warns it’s the most dangerous consolidation of power America has faced in decades. With six corporations already controlling 90% of the nation’s news and entertainment, a Warner-Netflix or Warner-Paramount megacorporation would create an unstoppable information cartel. Glenn exposes how “too big to fail” thinking is repeating itself, how global elites and “experts” are tightening their grip, and why handing our entire cultural narrative to a handful of companies is a direct threat to freedom. The hour is late — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Transcript

GLENN: By the way, it's never good when you consolidate power. It's never good.

And what is going on now, with this Netflix Warner Brothers paramount stuff, I don't care if Larry Ellison is a conservative or not.

No one should have that much power.

I did a show, gosh, four years ago. I don't even remember when I did it.

We looked it up. In the 1980s. 19 percent of American media was owned by over 50 companies.

Forty years later, 90 percent of the media is watched and controlled by six companies.

National Amusements, the Red Stone Family controls CBS, CMT, MTV, Nickelodeon, gaming and internet. Simon & Schuster Books. That's all one.

Disney, ABC, ESPN, History Channel, Marvel, Star Wars, video games and print.

TimeWarner controls CNN, Warner Brothers, HBO, Turner, video games, internet, and print media like TIME. Comcast, MSNBC, NBC.

CNBC, Telemundo, the Internet.

New Corp. Fox. National Geographic. Ton of others. Sony, with a ton of movies, music and more. The big six. They're valued at nearly $500 billion.

Now, this is something I put together five years ago. So I don't even know. This is probably not even valid even today.

And now we're talking about Netflix, Warner Brothers. Paramount, into all of these one giant corporation. It's wrong! It's wrong!

We can't keep putting all -- everything into the hands of just a few! It's what's killing us!

We've got to spread this around. We can't -- the government cannot okay mergers like this.

They're big enough he has

What happened -- what happened when the banks went under, or almost went under in '08. What did they say the problem was?

They said the banks are too big to fail.

Too big to fail.

Because they were providing all of the services, everybody needs. All the time. And there's only a handful of them.

So if they fall, then everything falls.

Right?

That was the problem. So what did we do to fix it?

We made them bigger!

We let them merge with other banks, and gobble up other things!

And started taking on the local banks.

And so now, your banks that were too big to fail. Are now even bigger. And their failure would be even worse!

What is wrong with us?

Seriously, we're not this stupid.

We're not this stupid.

I think we're just this comfortable.

We just think the experts have a plan. No. The experts don't have a plan.

Their plan is stupid. Their plan is to make it bigger.

Every time it fails. Make it bigger. Push it up.

Make it more global.

No. Haven't you seen what the entire world is like?

The entire world is over-leveraged. The entire world is on the edge.

The entire world is being redesigned.
So what do we do? We don't allow them to make things bigger! We need to start taking more individual and local control of things. They're making it bigger. Which will make the problem bigger. And make the problem so big, you won't be able to do anything about it, because all the experts. All of the heads. They'll all -- there will be six of them. And they will all be sitting in one room.

And they will all be making the instigations. And with them, making those decisions will be all the heads of all the countries around the world, that you're not going to have a say in any of that. They're already trying to do it with the WEF.

But if -- if the Supreme Court says, no, experts matter. And the president can't fire them. You will not have any control over anything!

We're at this place, where we can back out. We can turn around.

We can do it.

It's not too late. But the hour is growing very late.

I don't know about you, I don't like being this.

Up to the edge, you know what I mean?

I would rather have lots of breathing room, between me and the edge of the cliff.

But we don't have that anymore.

Everything has to be done right.

And we have to pay attention.

And the worst thing we can do is make things bigger.

Dream big, think small.
