EXPOSED: Biden's SHOCKING powers during an emergency

As tension in Europe escalates, and as Putin seems determined to finish what he started in Ukraine, Biden’s foreign policy decisions have never been so important. But President Biden — like all Commander-In-Chiefs that came before him — actually has an EXTRAORDINARY level of power during emergencies. In this clip, Glenn breaks down P.E.A.D.S., the Presidential Emergency Action Documents. He explains how these powers could allow for whoever is leading the White House to circumvent our Constitution like never before…

GLENN: Hey, we would really want to say thank you. And welcome to our new affiliate in Oklahoma. Talk 100.9. KGWA. Thank you for joining the Glenn Beck Program.

All right. As we were watching while we went in a break, we're watching President Biden give this live speech, about how he needs another $33 billion for the war in Ukraine.

We are escalating. They were asking about, you know, if Russia escalates. And he immediately says, we're ready for whatever they do.

You know, that -- what the president should say. But, you know, we've -- we've always -- we've always little nuclear war could happen by mistake.

We just didn't know the mistake would wear a shoe size ten and be named Joe Biden.

We are in a very dangerous place. And I told Stu about something, what? Yesterday or today. That I've been researching. And this is not a Biden thing.

This is an all presidents thing. It's called P.E.A.D.S. P-E-A-D-S. P.E.A.D.S. And it stands for Presidential Emergency Authorization Directive. Right?

STU: Close. Presidential Emergency Action Documents.

GLENN: Action Documents. So this was started under Eisenhower.

And if you remember, the -- the left went crazy on Donald Trump, because of P.E.A.D.S. Now, I want you to know, the left always self-diagnoses. They always self-diagnoses.

They accuse the other side of something, because that's what they do. I'm convince of it. Okay.

So they were having a problem with Donald Trump, because in covid, he was asked, you know, what is part of the emergency measure? And he said, the president has a lot of emergency measures, and a lot of things that they can do under emergency, that people don't know about. That was an alarm bell for the left.

What is he going to do?

And they -- well, this wasn't well-known or understood. They were talking about P.E.A.D.S. directives. Okay?

This is a directive, that every president, since Eisenhower, because of the threat of nuclear war. They set out and say, okay. Mr. President, this is the possible, probable emergencies that may come your way. That could disrupt a chain of government. Or continuity of government.

So we would need to know. Because if these things happen, they can happen so rapidly, that we won't have a time to make recommendations and everything else. We just need to execute orders.

So let's talk about nuclear war. What is your directive?

And they go through the meeting. And they do the directive. And then they write that presidential directive up. And then he doesn't sign it.

So when an emergency happens, they just put that paper in front of him, and say, this is the presidential directive for nuclear war, sir. We've already briefed you for it. He says, yes. He signs it. And it's law. Now, this, because it's an emergency, supersedes everything, including the Constitution.

Now, let me show you -- you can look this up. And it's absolutely real. What is not real, is we don't know what any of them have said. So if anybody says, yeah. And this one says that.

And Trump was doing this. Or Biden is doing that. You don't know. These are probably top ten closely guarded secrets of any administration.

They've never been really, truly revealed on what they are.

Pieces have come out, from the distant past, and those are disturbing enough.

For instance, there have been P.E.A.D.S. directives that have a list of like 50,000 Americans, that if this emergency happens, they would need to be rounded up, or silenced, or whatever.

Because they could be a danger to the continuity of government. Right?

STU: Yeah. They -- as you point out, no one really knows what is in them.

Some have been -- some details have been -- have leaked out over the years.

So we know that there were 56 of these in effect, as of 2018. That's up from 48, from a couple of decades earlier. This is from the Brennan center. Again, who is no conservative source here.

GLENN: No.

STU: And a lot of it --

GLENN: It's credible, but it's left.

STU: And the reason why, of course, this was a big deal, as you pointed out. It was Donald Trump. They were upset about it, because Donald Trump was going to use them.

GLENN: This is why -- this is why they're saying, there's going to be a coup. There's going to be a coup.

And we all said, there's not going to be a coup. But they were thinking about P.E.A.D.S.

That he could say, there's trouble on the streets. Give me that presidential emergency directive, because that triggers it, and I'm going to be the president, and we're suspending elections. Or whatever. Okay?

STU: So we know there were P.E.A.D.S. in past years, that authorized detention of alien enemies and other dangerous persons within the United States, suspended the writ of habeas corpus by presidential order. Provided for various forms of marshal law, issued a general warrant.

Just, I feel like we were specifically against general warrants, but issued a general warrant, permitting search and seizure of persons and property.

Established military areas, as those created during World War II, suspended production of the Federal Register. Declared a state of war, and authorized censorship of news reports.

GLENN: It's my understanding. I don't know this for sure. But it's my understanding, that these P.E.A.D.S., they don't go out of fashion. So you can update them. You can add to them. But they're not revoked.

So if that's there, that is part of the toolbox, that already has been discussed. All the president has to do is sign it.

This is terrifying. It can even allow -- let's say the president and vice president, let's use, you know, Ronald Reagan and -- and George -- you know, George H.W. are out. And there's an attack on them.

And it -- it -- and it is a nuclear war. Let's say, you know, they're in the sum of all fears. And it's Morgan Freeman. And the vice president is also there. And there's a nuclear strike. And it kills the two.

I can guarantee you, there would be a P.E.A.D.S. on that. But a P.E.A.D.S. could include that -- if this happens, that triggers this P.E.A.D.S., which says, now the Department of Defense becomes an interim president, not the Speaker of the House.

It can -- it can -- cut the government out.

STU: How is this constitutional, Glenn?

GLENN: It's what -- you know, it's what Mike Lee was talking to me about. And my eyes glazed over. This is like four years ago. And we were like, what are you even talking about?

And remember, he was pushing the REINS Act.

STU: Yes. Which should be passed immediately.

GLENN: Should be passed. Because that exposes all of this.

STU: Among other things.

GLENN: And he was like, Glenn, the REINS Act. It's really important. And I said, yeah. Yeah. Sure, Mike.

And I just really didn't understand it. P.E.A.D.S., I get. And he was absolutely right.

The REINS Act. Now, the left was all for the REINS Act, under Donald Trump. They're not for it now.

We -- we should know about what's in these presidential directives.

Because, you know, like I said, and I'm going to be clear on this. Back in January of 2019, we were seeing people welded into their homes in China.

STU: 2020, yeah.

GLENN: 2020. And it was horrific what was coming.

And we never thought that, you know, we would all be quarantined in our houses.

We never thought that would happen. And we didn't know what we were facing.

And I said at the time, my gut says, that this is going to be bad. But it's not going to be the Bubonic Plague. It's not even going to be maybe the Spanish flu from 1918.

However, what it does to our economy and the economy of the world, is going to be horrific. So don't fear the virus. Fear what's -- what will happen because of it.

Not to minimize the death of covid. But as we see now, look at the ramifications. We're still paying for. We're still -- did you see that Fauci yesterday, or two days ago, came out and said, we're out of the pandemic phase.

Why did he retract that yesterday? Why did he retract that?

I can guarantee you, it's for some legal purpose. It is because somebody now could be sued. Because we're out of a pandemic. If they do something. Or because funds are still being spent. That maybe shouldn't be spent. Because it's under the guise of pandemic.

Or they're --

STU: In the middle of asking for more money to fight it right now. And he can't come out and say that. Which, by the way, is another reason, he should never do another interview. Just stop doing interviews. Can you get off television for five seconds? Ten seconds. Do something out. Work out. Play some golf. Do anything else, other than be on television all the time.

GLENN: All right. Thank you for that. You feel passionately about that though?

STU: A little bit!

GLENN: Yeah, okay.

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 ...

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.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

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.
