How Glenn would respond if these ATF agents visited HIM

What happens if the ATF shows up at your door? Such an occurrence happened recently to one American, who tells the two agents in a recently posted video that he’s the owner of Moonlight Industries. Glenn plays the video in this clip, which shows two ATF agents explain that they are there to ‘pick up’ Forced Reset Triggers the man had recently purchased. Then, Glenn explains how HE would respond to the agents if he found himself in the same situation…

GLENN: I'm going to play some really disturbing video.

A man who is claiming to be the owner of Moonlight Industries. This is a company that specializes in making chest rigs for Special Forces operators.

He posted a video on YouTube showing two ATF agents, visiting him. And saying that they're there to pick up a recently purchased, legally purchased FRT.

This is a device that resets the trigger, faster than others. And if you replace your trigger with this trigger, it's much faster and so now, the ATF, after these are being sold legally.

Now they're saying, you have to turn them in. They're illegal. Could be a felony.

They show up at this guy's house. Well, you don't have to register an FRT.

What -- what -- how did they even know?

Listen. And if you're watching the Blaze TV, watch what happened.

VOICE: So the reason why we're here is because I'm sure you're aware, that just recently, the ATF classified FRTs. The four triggers.

VOICE: Sure.

VOICE: As machine guns.

VOICE: Yeah.

VOICE: So we are aware that you may have purchased some of these FRTs. So now we are having -- the whole agency is basically reaching out to these purchasers.

VOICE: That's incredible. Yeah.

VOICE: And we have to --

GLENN: It is.

VOICE: -- pick them up. They're illegal.

VOICE: So I won't be answering any questions today.

I don't have any comments this subject. I won't be giving you anything.

VOICE: Okay.

VOICE: So are you refusing to give us the triggers?

VOICE: I'm not refusing anything. I won't be answering any questions.

VOICE: Okay. But okay. So we are aware that you do -- you did purchase FRTs. Again, you wouldn't be in trouble, if you just give those up to us. Or if you sold them, you can tell us you sold them. Again, you won't be in trouble for that.

VOICE: I understand.

VOICE: We're just here honestly to pick them up.

VOICE: I understand.

VOICE: I don't want to be here, any more if you want me to be here.

VOICE: The problem is, you are the people who -- who go and knock on the doors. Right? So when they make new laws and you break them or you go against the citizens, because they've spoken, what they buy and what they do. The citizens are speaking. But the government is making their decisions on what they think. They're not being servants to the citizens. Right? And I understand you have families to feed. You're just doing what you're told, so you don't get fired from your job. But there is a problem that exists. And at some point, you have to make a decision what side of the team you're on. So I won't be answering any questions. If I'm not being detained, I'm not under arrest, I'll just be leaving now.

GLENN: You already said too much.

VOICE: Okay.

VOICE: I won't be able to help you with what you're trying to find.

VOICE: Okay.

STU: What do you do in that situation?

GLENN: Not what he did.

STU: No?

GLENN: Do what he did. You know what, wow. I really respect you stopping by. I'll be contacting my attorney. And because this is the first time hearing about any of this.

And so I can't make any comment or help you at all, because I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about.

Or -- or what's legal, what's not legal at this point.

So are you --

STU: I'll go through my attorneys.

VOICE: Are you refusing?

VOICE: No. No. Not at all. I appreciate -- I appreciate the professionalism that you've displayed. And I -- and I'm a good American citizen. And I respect the law.

I just can't help you today, because this is coming as a surprise to me.

STU: Now, could they do something here? Could they force him to do it? Could they arrest this person?

GLENN: I don't know. It's the ATF. They can make it up as they go along now.

STU: Apparently.

GLENN: But what they're trying to do, I think. Is put people into categories.

Notice, they say, are you refusing?

Once you refuse, that opens up a whole bunch of other legal doors.

Okay?

So there's a great guy, ask one of our producers. They know -- we had him on the air for our special on the out-of-control weaponization of government.

When we did that special. He's a guy who makes videos. They're on YouTube.

You may have seen him. I just can't remember his name off the top of my head. But he goes through this, and shows you exactly how to react.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Because once they -- they use words, that you may not think, like are you refusing?

Well, yeah. I mean, yeah. Right now, I am.

No, no, no, no, no. Because by saying you're refusing, it puts you into another category.

STU: You said earlier on the show, that you believe this audience was the most prepared audience out there. And this is exactly what you're talking about, right? Who would have thought, this is a thing that you had to deal with. But if you're watching -- if you're on Blaze TV, if you were watching, you would have already known those details.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: But this is the type of stuff you have to be prepared for now.

GLENN: Yeah. You cannot look at --

STU: Jeez.

GLENN: You cannot look at an agent of the federal government, as the way you used to look at them. We used to look at them. And like, dude, it's the FBI. I'll help you any way I can. What do you need?

We're all on the same team.

No. We're not necessarily on the same team.

I'm on the team that is supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States of America. And I will follow to the letter, the Constitution of the United States of America.

But I don't think that everyone on the other team, is doing so.

All the way to the president.

They -- they pick and choose. You have the president right now, talking about just taking the power of the debt ceiling.

And saying, I'm just going to raise it.

Well, you can't. That is constitutionally illegal for the president to do.

But he knows.

And they keep doing these things, over and over and over again.

It doesn't matter what the Supreme Court says. It doesn't matter what the Constitution says.

Well, to many of us in America, it does.

And I'm not a revolutionary. I am not calling for the overthrow of the American government.

Or the overthrow of -- of our system.

I'm asking for the implementation of our system. I'm the one saying, excuse me.

You have taken revolutionary tactics here. And you are not protecting, defending, or even reading the Constitution. Something you took an oath to protect and defend.

I didn't take that oath. You did. And you are no longer doing those things. So I can't help you.

I would like to.

But I can't help you right now.

And I'll talk to an attorney, because this is just coming as a surprise to me. I just didn't. I don't know.

And I want to be absolutely law-abiding, and do the right thing.

But I don't know what's going on.

STU: It shouldn't be our relationship with the government.

GLENN: No. It shouldn't be. But it is the relationship all of our founders said we have. George Washington, when he's president, he said, basically. Don't trust me.

Don't trust any of us. Don't.

Man is man, and government should be viewed as a fire.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: When you're in control of it, it's great. When it's in control of you, it's deadly.

STU: Yeah. But that's -- that's different.

This is -- it's almost a fearful -- what you're describing is someone who is fearful.

GLENN: They've given you reason.

STU: And I'm not saying you're wrong. Believe me. But you think of the people, by the people, for the people. That's not a description of that.

GLENN: You know, I have to tell you, I've never seen the government look at its citizens as the problem.

Never seen that. Never seen that.

And that's what's happening now.

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.
