I do yes, oh hi, yeah hi. Yes, thank you all it's going to be a good. It's going to be a good broadcaster was a start. I wasn't listening to your mother. Here is today's podcast for monday lot of great stuff and you want to expand. While we talked to a former soviet spy. That was great. That was a particular thing. The fire thing was great as well probably not the way you should have reinforced it. Maybe you should have said like hey or at least yeah. That's right, glad, everybody's talking about those fires of food processing plants or not. I just said it was great. Also we talked to pat gray. He was on as well and it was a wonderful show. The show is much better than well look stoop talks very little, so it's great heroes,
the only thing to do. state, were free to choose whether to allow black people in white people to marry some states would miss such marriages, others, probably wouldn't it seems unthinkable as a scenario in twenty twenty two. That's because in nineteen sixty seven the Supreme port unanimously ruled that barring international doug, barring interracial marriage as such, sixteen states still did violates the fourteenth amendments guarantee of equal protection under the institution, the freedom to marry or not marry
A person or another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the state, said the court. More than half a century on this Lord case is considered one of the court's great rulings, and yet it was universally admired the time southerners dates complied only grudgingly alibi, I didn't repeal its ban on international marriage or interracial marriage until twenty eight hour the two thousand. That's the point of having a federal constitution says the new york times are bad. It is supreme, air and tease and rights in that document, apply to all americans equally, whether or not they live in the south of the north, no matter where they live. The court system and the supreme court in particular, exist to protect those rights when state and local authorities refuse to.
Leaving the matter. The individual states and political process means that millions of americans will be denied their fundamental rights in this, is the right of a woman to decide what happens inside her own body. I mean in unless it's you know a vaccine The draft opinion relies heavily on the lack of mention of abortion in the constitution. Therefore, or argues that the document cannot be the basis for the right to terminate a pregnancy but institution also says nothing. Here comes the fourth greater The constitution also says nothing about interracial marriage, but that didn't prevent that. Judges from finding in the fourteen, the amendment that guarantee that no couple may be treated differently, of the color of their skin it because that net that debts Specifically what the fourteenth amendment is talking about. Its business typically talking about you can't take
somebody and in that lives here in amerika and treat them differently because of the color, of their skin. Because they are different in some way now The left, I suppose, were arguing that men could have abortions as well. then maybe but see you this. This is missing the point entirely. The point is the constitution, it doesn't say you can kill. Babies that you claim are a lump of cells. There is nothing there are no right, you don't how many do you know how many things the count, detention actually allows the federal government to do what are the, what are the number of things that the government is allowed to? Do the federal government allowed to do according to the constitution but set number
I don't dunno the number, but there's very few of them. I mean the the the common defense and you have the courts. You have the post office, I mean you have seventeen things haven't been the constitution, only seventeen, how many millions are they doing right now and two out and not only is gay marriage an interracial marriage, not not there. Neither Marriage, marriage like the old school, No, it's a state issue, it's not a federal issue to this, hey, it's not a federal issue and by the way marriage marriageable isn't an issue at all. That was a church and human to human thing. Shouldn't be everyone issue at all, should be there that all started because of the progressives interracial marriage banned because of progressives I would say that planned parenthood had a lot to do with that. I wouldn't mind an owner down and we should point out that the guy, the guy I dunno, if this president
the slaves mirror the sky? We had a big hat at all, Ok, we're lookin dude, got maritime sphere, not with the big flattery, hang. It was shamir novelists, another one or another, one of our past presidents. You got married without a marriage license. That's weird! So did George Washington so determined action, because that was not the way they thought about it at all. In short, constitutional rights are meaningless unless they apply across the entire country. Let me rephrase that for the new york times and the fourth greater that wrote this in short, constitutional rights- are meaningless unless they apply to all people all people now our argument here in in the state, would be that clump of cells, Doesn't suddenly turn into a tumor it? always turns in to a human being. You have a right to life safe
No one is allowed to take that life from you you ve done something and you been tried in a court of law no innocent life is opposed. go away because the government says so that's the extremist point of view, but the institution is there to say, These are a few of the rights that come God though they come from euro, have either takes a higher power? You could say: the stars its start asked the things that make us whatever it is rights. come from them. You know that he's the forests, I'm speaking, write directly to the progressive left. the forest gives us our rights. and no one can change them and
no one can just issue rights. That's really important, because that's what the government wants you to believe that the government can, give you rights. The supreme. It is not taking away abortion rights, the supreme Weren't. You saying it's up to People in the state before no government can do anything about it. Why. Because it's not their job when it to something like this. It has to be decided by the people. This is the least dictate moral ruling. I have seen, and I dont know how long right so what's happening. well michigan attorney general Dana nest? very upset very, very upset, because this
bream, corridors overturning row versus weighed, and she said I am not too of I am going to enforce any laws that hey, I have to break into a doctor's office and stop abortion. I just won't: do it again that not the what the supreme court said. It's you or state laws. Well, Michigan has a law books from eighteen, thirty one or By the way The height of the progressive era really hung on that age and heightened somebody's events? for criminalized abortion. With she says, with no exceptions, except for the exception, exception for rape and incest, but
other than that no exceptions. Ok, if you don't like it, I think the Democrats, control Michigan thinks actually the mob does. But the Democrats, control Michigan you'll have a very pro choice. Governor chow the law, you, I can't go off as the attorney general. I know. George. Soros is telling you differently, but you can't I must say, as the chief law enforcement officer in your state. You, may I say, bear we're, not gonna pay. Mention that law, what you do Who is you change your law? This is not federal law. This is in your state. Sk, the voters, it really It freely amazes me how stupid people really are. She knows better than as all these people
york times. They know better than that. That's a fourth is honestly, a fourth grade opinion. It really is it those you have no understanding how this system works at all. But then again, why should people? Why should be be smart when their spoon fed everything, they're supposed to believe and then told you must believe it cnn reported on Friday the leak of the supreme court draft opinion. Probably a right wing political leak, and it's gonna led a right wing political violence, but. I have even talking about. see an end to learn the? U s. Capital police are bracing for large demonstrations that are being organised by far right groups to protest. Abortion rights, what far right groups but I mean you always say far right groups, which is wrong. Far right groups are nazis, nazis love abortions.
There were killing children in the millions. What what are you talking? the nazis are upset about killing. Children they love it. The recently installed non scalable fencing outside the court building was visible. As CNN reported. Several members of law enforcement have expressed concerns that people who are committed to committing The violent extremism could use rovers wait opinion for a justification of that yeah. Why where did they say that it was good that it was good To be the at the vast right wing, where are they saying that sea and did say I should caution. There are no specific, credible threats. Oh ok, ok! All right! I get it sure sure Now a lot of feed I have been saying these things about the
the right While they put up the fans, We was shocked shy to see the progressive, laugh lying to burn the supreme court and the country down. I dont know about anybody else. You know those, though Pro life. Conservatives were really upset man. They had some heated arguments around the dinner table yesterday. a dead Meanwhile, the acts of violence or illegal activity seems to be things like a catholic church burned in boulder colorado, it was vandalized I saw. I shouldn't say I shouldn't burn door or broken into or terrorist activity? This is vandalized evangelist the vandals vandals did this. Now that was the vandalism, mostly peaceful. It was mostly peaceful, but it was mostly also anti religious and
it was. You know, approach choice so to speak, but a peaceful, a sort of fire starting throwing. You know Sort of I've got threatening if abortion is unsafe. Neither are you sort of way right in that tina that that's in a peaceful sense there. tranquillity, involved, wounds, amen, amen and they also scribbled on the side of a another clinic the in madison wisconsin, it was a pro life office. They may they scan. Bold or actually very nice, cursive handwriting. So you know that it was the right thing. teen twelve was also on their which every conservative who doesn't know what thirteen twelve me
right. I mean that I didn't. We start all of our committee. We start all of our meetings with a hail thirteen, twelve or thirteen thirteen. Well, twelve. All cops are the key word. I'm not sure I I know what be word, but so many words have been banned when somebody says the bee word, while we don't, we won to designate the gender of the police of zigzag. I were you, I would not be our one could be either one of those. So I don't know, but thirteen twelve. That was the tip off to me that it was definitely definitely right. Wing church, goers, he's welcome to the oh, by the way, anti for also the pro abort men of anti fa were rum. Putting out here, are not pregnancy centres in portland. Also this this weekend they bash windows and but see pcs, which
again come on. We all know that this is the master, the Glen back programme, and we really want to thank you for listening. This is from the audio podcast the agent, the The year was nineteen, eighty eight and jack bar ski had been in the united states for over ten years anyone living in the hustle and bustle of new york city. This of the sky line further with so many tall buildings never got old. He had this city, a home, a home. He knew better than most native new yorkers having experts word nearly every street by foot or by bicycle he loved, it's his job as a software developer at life he had,
what is coworkers and he finally felt like he was fitting in he was, meant to be here lived in a modest department with his wife and young daughter, and they can looking for a bigger place now that there were three in the family, even was days were long and his commute to and fro manhattan made it even longer. He rushed, back home every night to seize little princess one. Last time before she went to bed jack bars He was living the american dream, but this dream was about to take a sudden and unexpected turn. The has taken refuge there. The news watch never stops forty two degrees and clear in new york, going down to twenty nine degrees in midtown three and our w. Why on earth? I would probably wake up. Typically about Seven have abolished cereal
and get on my way in queens. About a twelve twelvemonth walk to the subway. This was in december. It was till dark at that time, I'm not a morning person, so I'm just like remarking sort of- days went along a path I had communicated to the center. They need to know this, because there was a spot on that path? Were they were able to put signals to every morning when I get to supporting new posts for the elevated eight train, I would take a look and nothing ever was there, but it's cold december morning. Jack noticed something different as he approached the subway station This really odd and get it closer and there was his red dot, the fist sized red dot that screamed at me.
What it was saying is danger. Get out of here. Immediately, don't go back home, don't go to work in retriever reserve documents. I had a set of the canadian documents that I had hidden in the park someplace and make a bee line to the canadian border were eventually you get further instructions, and that's how we get you out of here. I new danger: do this This was part of the plan. Jack had If this signal a code red there, dad was a signal from the centre, the home of kgb headquarters back in moscow and was part of an elaborate system of graphic signals used for communication. the ten years he had spent in america? Jacket,
regular secret communication with other russian agents agents. He never actually met in person, but until today, jack had never received the danger signal. This is from the pod cast. The agent and jack bar ski is with us now hijack how area good morning and thank you feel honoured to be called a friend of Europe, the Glen back programmes. Can I have that in writing? Oh yeah it'll probably get you in more trouble with the f b I and others. I think at this point jack, but thank you so much. Europe you're an amazing man of lives and amazing life and Had we talked in the eighties. I wouldn't have said that but you have turned into a great friend of the united states,
and and and I think what it'll be yeah. Well, I'm not going to say I'm not I'm not going to reveal anything that is in the the agent I just wanted to talk to you jack, because Something is happening here with this ukraine situation and I feel like everyone is pushing for war. And I'm I'm I'm not so excited about that, because This seems like this could quickly become a nightmare of world war proportions. you you're so right and I and the we we had to it. We have to expect that russia makes a lot of noise. You noticed what but potent does, and you know they threaten, but what's happening in the united states and other western countries, we have about of arm chair warriors were playing politics, with a situation that could either
b, be accelerated and into what you just called a world war three at the first time. I I cringed when when president called the put in a war criminal had moved a needle one way or the other. I just shut up. Don't talk act because that way, you know that you're going back and forth could easily putin just might get triggered by that he is, he is, he is not very amenable to being criticized in that sir? That's a factors approve an historic fact: I'm jack would tell me because I've gone back and forth in my head other than them being incredibly different people. ronald reagan called russia, a we all know and evil empire and call for the destruction of it, and I know reading history that the kremlin- I think it was some
and drop off. Really was quite a paranoid guy and thought for sure that that the united dates under reagan, would you know launch missiles in a first strike? What's the difference, between then, and now Well, first of all, you you're right about don drop off and then in his paranoia you ve thought and an eye was aware of that? Ah, he, ah he started an opera called the operational by end where every everybody or every kgb agent operating in the west to look out for signs of war, but there was it In those days still leave soviet union was already weakened again. There was more fear than you know. Of aggression, disobeyed wars did not want to go to war.
and I say I think good burma to partners- is this very aggressive- needs peace and he's maneuvered himself into this, position you can't and he's on a one way street with no side street too does not offer yeah I'm in the do you think he's in here, speech that he gave where you talked about a new russia being born was that misinformation or or is this? Do you think really believes that He has not made made a secret you know you right here, a couple of years ago. I think he wrote an essay on like the usa or about what he wants to do any ones to restore russia's greatness. Not this reducing, you might know why you're russia's greatness, and you know this is this. Is this? Is life that this is him? He is a russia and
and he has vince himself at the summit, or power. I think he pretends to be a believer now, and I dare you did us pretend to be believe. I dont know if he does believe in god, but he thinks he's been appointed to do just that. That's a little frightening. so what what we doing then we I mean we came out for the first time, jack that I know of and confirmed that we sunk the russian flagship in the I see it that way. confirm that we are giving them all kinds of targeting information to target their generals. We are does beating our chest in a varied. Terrifying way. I don't know we used as some some leaker right and then in the media printed it the the
the pentagon and biden tonight that now we do, we do admit that we provide intelligencer, but in owed to say that we contributed to the destruction of make make this statement that we have proof An exaggeration, like god, this country is, is populated by leakers and everywhere. Everywhere you go where they were supposed to keeping secret italy shout So what are you see happening here? Jack Is your sitting watching all this stuff unfold? Somebody who grew up under that system? You probably know geo pop politics, at least from a historic sends, probably somebody asked so you understand, what's going on here, you you need to ban. But yourself into the shoes of blah blah
under his leadership and russian people in general. And a a looks at this conflict as a conflict between himself and the west. Not us ukraine, he isn't just saying at ease, be believes it. because, despite this kind of thinking as is rooted in an emotion, history relates to the russian People in in the russian leaders have always been paranoid for good reason really Russia was founded, it has, it has been attacked from all from the north east west south it was the mongols it. It was the turks it was the viking it was napoleon and it was hitler. There's a there's. A desert paranoia dream. and the innovation, dna and important believes that that day, you know that
this coming after him, and this only gets worse. As we shut down all of the fao Enhancing and pull all of our people and when I say our people pull all of our all of our financial systems in any of our businesses out of russia, that has to speak volumes. The eu does, but I don't think it is as powerful as the americans would like to believe, because Putin, we know that he is not stupid. He expect I did that and when, when you look at what what's happening right now, the ruble has stabilized or a potent still is a is a he I think, in the last two months, you got me oil and gas revenue in the five months before you know and that any has ally I mean why,
china is a lie. Allied with them end. And india is at best neutral right. So so he is not. this isn't like got his this economy. It is like it. It appears that will have to deal with some sand, but I dont. We can bring him down to his knees so jack You feel we are close to war Why are we obviously closer to war than we were right just a few months ago? Right? Are we close nuclear war. is part partially wishful thinking, but partially also are there some there are some reality behind that there might my believing that were not that close. Let me put ministry. In his speech did not threaten nuclear only by exporting some. Some nuclear missiles
it was, it was like status quo, Well, let's go keep going, you know and I believe that this conflict is going. drag on for a long time and it's better than the alternative. You bet, but There's a there's, a secondary war. It is and the the secondary war economic alright to because you know western europe is, is I in great danger wieland as the united states economically or not as much danger, because we we have all the natural resources western europe is taking. Is this dependent on them with regard to the energy that they would be, that war dragged out for time they will be severely weakened well not doing anything with our energy, and I I tell you, I look at this and I think If I were a pin of former soviet spy and still could think. Like the other side,
be thrilled with what amerika was doing right now? Three, we are dismantling ourselves in a wee f gas. Ices going through the roof, we haven't even hit the summer. The vienna we'll be at five dollars a gallon of for the summer and me seven or eight dollars for trucks which will just cripple the nation. I'm just going to make one statement a which is not necessarily political, because you know there's one thing about about. You know talking about the ideology that a ah, and rampant in in the democratic party, but we are currently led by a bunch of people who don't know how to get things done, dont know to execute and literally shooting ourselves in the foot and mouth disease? And you know this, you know de the energy policy is driven by ideology that global warming
religion is absolutely with the brenner. Being the patron saint? Well, You know you lived in germany. How old were you when you left east germany when I lifted east germany I was twenty six because I were went first to moscow to improve my anguish and end. When I left my when it came to the end- state. I was twenty nine. twenty. Nine years old, you were recruited. I the kgb. You were You were trained in all of these things and you being for He's germany, I would assume you know We are very well aware of this buying, that they did and the monopoly nation of of people that they did did you know That did you know that when you join the kgb that they were, who are patriotic kind of arson,
verses their side. I was not meant not. I was a patriot, but while also was a revolutionary, I was going to contribute to build the Paradise. The workers paradise on earth. And I was ideological. the one hundred percent behind The soviet union east germany kgb the stasi simply because of ignorance. This- is what happens in here in there in it state where or when all communication is is regulated and it's owned by the state, and we never got to the Glenn Beck program, the your personal
inflation rate coming up in just a second. I want to I share with you from national review and Jim Geraghty. There is aid, there is a great story on the food facility fires? I asked about this. Over and over again- and we into it. And it's this that doesn't seem to be of the normal believe it or not. Now there are some some things that will, for instance, no review rights in a typical year, how many plane crashes do we have enough food processing plants? What's your guess, how many planes crash into a food processing plant, Harry is say, seven a week three hundred now none none may zero a bad year. Maybe one one day so so far this year we ve had to that's good it has may yet another. You would think there
something wrong too: It's really unlikely, but bell calking be all right. So, let's let let's look at everything. That's been happening. A plane, crashed into an idaho potato and food processing plant killing The pilot police Jim straight processing in hay burn east ida at about eight thirty five in the morning on Wednesday, pilot was the only person in the plane and died during the crash police said. None of the employees of the processing plant were injured gay, so it had to be kamikaze food plant guy I flew the plane into the plan. Then a couple of weeks later coming to Georgia, firefighters, responded to a plane crash that killed two people thursday. general mills food processing plant, the small boy, in crashed, apparently after taking off from runway at the coming to municipal airport six track. Their trailers were damaged as a result of the crash both occupants.
Of the plane died. However, local officials were grateful. The plane did not strike the plant building, which could have results. in greater loss of life. So, if you want to go for the play crash idea. Yeah too, who plane crashes in or near food processing plants is weird. It is weird, but well let me go on February. If the massive, what these are the headlines massive fire swept through wisconsin river meets on thursday, destroying part of the facility, the ship then february. Twenty second, the shares food planned in her missed in Oregon, caught fire after propane boiler, exploded march seventeenth structure, fire at the walmart distribution centre in plain ville, Indiana broke out about noon on Wednesday, a thousand Employees were inside, but none were injured. One fighter suffered minor injuries ma.
Twenty second of fire broke out at a nestle hot pockets plant in george in jonesboro arkansas, it happened on march sixteenth. Facility was still closed as of march twenty first march, twenty fifth officials believe aid, frying machine is behind the fire. The destroyed a potato processing facility in Belfast April. Thirteen fire fighters from several departments in on in maine helped battle a massive fire. The destroyed butcher shop and meat market in centre conway new Hampshire Annie. we'll thirtieth soybean processing tank caught fire, the produce farms plant in chesapeake virginia. Ok, I mean that's a lot right it adds a law gay. So here's We have looked at it and this is exactly the way Jim garrity has looked at it. Not the fires. Are crashes? Did significant damage in that
chesapeake soybean facility fire, the plant manager, said the fire had little to no impact on their operations in the georgia crash. The plane hit the building, no employees were harmed and general mill spokesperson said the plant didn't experience any disruption and remains fully operational. The pie, late in that crash by the way was identified as a student pilot and the other person was the flight instructor, so I mean unless it was some sort of anti food processing plant flight instructor that took that plane down and missed the plant. That's probably not one to count second none of the fire so far have been declared cases of arson. this is really important because I you know I went looking. These and I thought to myself. I don't know that seems like a lot.
but when we really started looking, none of them have been deemed arson the and that's from host to coast, if any of them had been deemed arson of two of em. I would it be like Let's look into this in any, given year there are half a million fires reported to local fire department about Fifty three hundred of them are manufacturing or processing facilities. That comes about four hundred and forty per month, and if fires in four hundred and forty manufacturing or processing facilities a month from coastal caused. When we, expect it least a handful of these to be at food processing facilities. In fact, the list above stretches the definition of food processing facilities. Being The walmart distribution centre also stored clothes in cardboard and the new I am sure fire happened at a local butcher shop third
you were a terrorist or a foreign agent or somebody in the deep state choke attempting to choke off the american food distribution network. Would you stop art, with a potato chips maker in Oregon or thee, a source for hot pockets in arkansas. then move on to a soybean processing tank in Virginia. if you were nefarious terrorist group or hostile foreign power and had not, you know, not merely one suicide pilot, but two of them as in the case of the george, a crash Why were they there? why not use that third person to bring down another plane, you wouldn't bring a pie. Singer along and Would you really aim for a potato processing plant in southern idaho than the georgia land where they make cinnamon toes crunch? the? U s head. As of
two thousand seventeen, the? U s had thirty six thousand four hundred and eighty six food and beverage processing establishments. What's more likely happening according to him garrulity is the border mine, half phenomena you. I do not know what the bite or man hath mine. Half phenomena is, but you ve experienced it. Have you ever gone to buy a car and then suddenly, they're everywhere now we're for sure That is, that is that phenomenon, its frequency, illusion that, when things start to happen, and we are now looking at food shortages. We all know it We also all know some things aren't being done by our government that are right. We also know there are people that you know
like catastrophe- and you know, swim in really calm waters of catastrophe. Is they look at it? ever wasted so have these things percolating and, as you see one fire and then another These are not out of the normal. They're, not arson. not terrorist strikes and they don't seem to be affecting big plans, that's what you would go after are the big plants. That's really good. the good, and that sort of thing happens to everybody, mail and left to happens all the time. One recent example was the australian fires member how big a deal This was just everyone was on the no on line. They were running fundraiser than it was a big deal. I'm not seeing the austrian fires a few years ago were not but Everyone was saying that, like this is global warming and look how terrible this is in the environment and whether weirding and all of this, and at the end of the year, they there is less
less square mileage burned in australia, then average but you're less than average crazy. Crazy idea of, why is it happening to them, is like near buying a new car you're focused on then when you're worried about global warming. Your focused on that when you're worried about food shortages- and you see things that you have I noticed before it's, because you weren't pay, attention to it that way, how many times We paid attention to the fore first fire in Australia. Where are we paid attention that year, because the people were running the news are talking about. forest fires and global warming, that is, happens and you get down there and I think this happens all the time of global warming. Every time, there's a moderately strange, whether event that slightly out of the ordinary. This is its blamed on every single time and everyone's meteorologist,
and if you really want to know, what's gonna cause food shortages, its russia and Ukraine, and our response to it, that's, really what is going to cause the the the most problems of getting food all around the world. What about china and the covert shutdowns that there still kind of going through nasa? That's big as well. Are you seem? Have you seen the shanghai ports, the? at the satellite photos from two thousand and twenty and then today incredible difference. It is it's today backed up, crazy, always like there looking at the the stars in the sky there, so many the ships out there we are for real real trouble. You know in the next I don't even know three to six seven months when it comes to items not being available.
