Also, RFK Jr came out and announced a big change when it comes to the COVID vaccine. Children and good we need to focus on, you know, actually eradicating these illnesses that children are suffering from. And he also said no more gender assignment surgery anymore. And it is a, it's probably the biggest step, concrete step in health care I've seen in a long, long time. Also, should Joe Biden's pardons be overturned because of the auto pan?

Don't know if you saw that all of a sudden there's this big interest in cutting the debt and going with the Doge cuts. And I saw these headlines come across yesterday afternoon, and I was like, whoa, wow, that's good news. Who. What. What's happening here? No, it's not. It's not. It's just more of the same from these weasels in. In the Republican Party. Elon Musk announced that he is not going to be spending money in the elections. He said, I think I've done my fair share. And, you know, I don't know if it really even makes a difference. So all of a sudden, the Republicans who have been getting money from him are like, whoa, whoa, wait, Elon, we love you. Those Doge things you were doing, my gosh, we want more of that. We are you. Were you thinking we weren't going to include that in the bill, in the big, beautiful bill? Because we're including a lot of that, right? Right, guys? Yeah, absolutely. Elon, we love you. It's so slimy. It's sickening. But if that's the way they get to cuts, I'm all for it. The Doge cuts are the easiest cuts to make, and we must send a signal to the rest of the world that we are serious, because there's something coming that most Americans just don't understand, you know, and not because it's hidden. It's. It's right there in plain Sight. But it's, you know, like all financial crimes, it's all dressed up in fancy acronyms and, and things that people half understand. And it all sounds like it's going to be good. And eventually you start hearing the word that is the most important word. Debt. I've been hearing about a debt crisis since I was a kid. There's going to come a time. Well, this is the time. We are here, so we have to talk about this. Yesterday I read something that came across my desk about. It was from an advisor at Goldman Sachs, and just listen to this. Made my head hurt. Funding conditions remain easy but can tighten meaningfully once the debt limit is raised. 4 trillion increase is likely included in this latest bill. As bill supply will drain bank reserves by several hundred billion. I mean, it was like, I don't. Now you've given me homework. I don't want. I need to understand that, but I don't want to do all the homework on it. So if you're hearing that, I know you're thinking the same thing. So I did some homework on it, and it. And if I may quote Admiral Akbar, the debt, it's a trap. Okay? Congress is about to raise the debt ceiling $4 trillion. And they're arguing about it. They're bickering back and forth, and you're gonna see a press conference or two, but in the end, they always raise it. This time, $4 trillion. And the media will do what the media always does. They'll say, oh, crisis averted. But they're wrong. They're wrong because every time we raise the debt ceiling, it adds to the crisis. Okay? And this is the moment where maybe the final. We're maybe in final approach here. And if it's not this landing, it might be the next landing, but it's going to be one of the landings very, very close to now. Now, here's why raising the debt ceiling actually affects you. I don't know, Whoopi Goldberg. What. What difference does it make? Well, here's what difference it makes. And this is something that no politician is going to tell you or very few of them will tell you. Nobody will really explain it in a way that I think you can then use. So let me try. What happens when they raise the debt ceiling? They raise the debt ceiling and say, okay, the debt ceiling was, we can't borrow any more than this because we're out of control, so we can't borrow any more than this. And then they borrow all of that. And then they're like, okay, okay, okay. But we can't borrow any more than this. So this is the limit. And then they raise the debt ceiling and they borrow all of that money and then they're like, okay, okay, okay, but this time we really mean it. We can't borrow more than this. And the reason why they're saying we can't borrow more than this is because it's sending a message to the rest of the world. And who specifically? I don't think people that are, you know, you know, average workers in England are thinking about this. But the central banks are the, the, the sovereign funds are the major investment funds are thinking about this. That's why they say, okay, this time we mean it. Because all of those people with a big money to buy our debt are saying, you guys aren't serious. So the debt ceiling is raised. What does that mean? The government has to print a bunch of T bills, treasury bills, which is basically an IOU. Okay. We say, oh, we really need $4 trillion, but we're gonna give you this IOU and we're good for it. Okay. We're really super gonna pay you back. And the less people believe that, the less that they think, oh no, they're serious, the higher the interest rate. It's like going to a loan shark. Eventually you got such bad credit you can't go anywhere else. And so you have to just keep raising the interest rates and before you know it, you're talking to veto. Who's gonna break your legs. Well, we're almost there. So they have to refill the cash drawer, right? We have to spend this money. So they raise the debt ceiling. Now who buys those? Just told you. Banks, pension funds, money market accounts, countries. And how do they pay for them? Well, they don't just have that money lying around. It's cash they have already sitting someplace else. So when they buy government debt, that cash leaves the banking system and moves over to the treasury so the government can have it and spend it. And what's left in those, in the banking system is a big iou. Hang on. If you have me so far. Good. But hang on because you're going to understand how this is going to affect your life personally in just a minute. So this is like a giant vacuum. It's a very powerful vacuum. I think it's a Dyson because it sucks up all of the money, all of the oxygen, all of the quote, liquidity that nobody understands. Well, liquidity. Well, liquidity. We're having a liquidity problem. Nobody understands that. My gosh, they can't tell you who the President of the United States is. They're going to explain liquidity. Okay, here's what it means. Cash. Cash at the bank. Why is that important? Why does that matter? Whoopi Goldberg might say, because you need cash from the bank in the form of a credit card or in the form of an auto loan or a loan for your small business. That's why this matters to you. Less money in the bank meets tighter credit. Tighter credit means loans are going to get harder to get, interest rates go up, which means what if you have a loan, God forbid you have a variable loan, your interest rate on your house is going to go up, which means you're going to pay more for your house, which means you're not going to, you're not going to get a raise at work because businesses are drying up because nobody has money, because this is affecting everybody. Okay? You can't get a mortgage, you can't get a credit card, you can't refinance. Your small business doesn't get anything. Why? Well, because the government has all of that money, okay? They just shrunk your financial oxygen tank. They told you, breathe deep, breathe deep. But they're taking the tank and not giving you the oxygen you might need. Okay? So this also, when they raise the debt ceiling, affects you because it infects, it affects inflation. Okay? This is slight. This is total sleight of hand because the money doesn't disappear, it's out of the bank, but it goes to the. All they've done is transferred. You were going to spend that money to. They are going to spend that money. So they just shifted it from banks and households to politicians and federal agencies, from the real economy to the administrative state. So that doesn't reduce inflation, it just changes who spends your money. It's not anti inflationary, it's anti you. We are running a system right now that is mathematically unsustainable. And every time we raise the debt ceiling, we are not solving a problem. Crisis averted, we're compounding it. The more we borrow, the more cash we suck out of the real economy. So here's what this is going to mean. Possibly in the coming months, if they pass this, you're going to see in business investment slowing down. Your wage is not going to go up. Unemployment is going to creep up. Families have to tighten their budget. The Fed is trapped. Cut hate, cut rates. Inflation's going to go up, raise rates and the system falls apart, okay? They're out of bullets. They're out of bullets. And as this is all happening, you're going to be told this is all normal. Don't worry about it. Everything's fine. Okay? But it's not fine. How long can a man live if. If every breath he takes is harder than the last breath to get oxygen? Okay, eventually the oxygen runs out and you're done. No family, no business, no nation can survive if it spends more than it produces. Forever. The clock is ticking, and you're going to be left holding the bill. Higher cost, fewer opportunities, and no one in Washington willing to tell you the truth. You know, we used to measure our wealth now or then, in what we made, what we built, what we grew. Now we measure our wealth, I guess, and how much debt we can sell before the system buckles. That's not prosperity, that is a countdown. So let me give you some solutions for you. I want you first, before we get into that, I want you to call your senator, call your congressman and demand the Doge Cuts. At least send a signal to those who are buying our debt that we have. We have some responsibility. Put the Doge cuts in the White House. Said they're sending them next week. They just need to happen. Do that now. There are other things you need to do for your own personal survival in your own personal economy. So I want you to know that this is not something I don't. I don't. I don't just talk about things on the air unless I really believe them. And I want you to know I'm. I'm making some changes in my life, and I am. I'm risking a great deal in the coming months, and I'll let you know about that as we get closer. But I'm. I'm probably taking the biggest gamble of my career and my life in the coming months because I believe in something. But with that said, I want you to know yesterday, when I saw this from Goldman Sachs, I thought, oh, boy. Okay, is this the right time to do it? And, well, the answer is I don't ever do anything for money. I do it because I believe in it. And so what happens will happen. You know, God will work it out. But I am changing many things in my own life because I believe in this. So we all have different situations, but let me just talk to the people who say, you know, I got a job. I have maybe some savings, but not a lot. What do I do? Okay, let me give you a goal. Whether you can reach this or not, I don't know, but it's a goal. Have six months of living expenses in cash or a cash equivalent. So you know, you can make it six months and pay your basic bills. Avoid any new long term commitments that will drain your flexibility. What, what you have to remain is super nimble right now. You have to have options in front of you right now. Cut your recurring expenses now. Eliminate or lock in subscriptions. Look at your insurance, your utilities. Cash flow is going to be king. Because something might happen and you're like, I gotta have the cash. Okay, if you can do that, great. If you can't, here's some other things. Side hustles. Set up yourself for a side hustle. Any skill. If you have the ability to go back to like a trade school, do it. Any skill. Mechanic, baking, child care, tech. Whatever it is, practice it right now, even part time, because you may need it later. If your hours are cut or your job disappears, have be working on a backup right now. Most important thing you can do is build local resilience. This is one of the reasons why I come up to the ranch and I've built my. My forever home up in Idaho in this small little farming community. Because I know these people and they are salt of the earth. I mean, they tear up just thinking about them. I go to church with these people and I listen to them and they are, they're just salt of the earth people. You have to have your local community, your local church. Because in hard times, networks equals net worth. Okay, forget about net worth. Think of networks. Also, own something tangible, even a small garden. Chickens, tools, something that can help you with independence and avoid any new debt. If you don't need a new car, don't get one. Non essentials vacation. If you can get it without it, or especially vacation homes, get out of it. The most important thing you need to know is stop assuming things will bounce back right away. That's normalcy bias and it kills you. All right, let me tell you about good ranchers. Somewhere right now, there's a man walking a fence line. He is checking for breaks after a storm rolled through overnight. There's a woman who this morning is hauling feed before most people had even poured their first cup of coffee. But they were out. They were doing things. All these people, they're the people who raise our food. And they do it because something in them still believes in the value of honest work and doing the right things the right way, even when nobody's watching. The truth is, family farms and ranches in this country are disappearing. Our supermarkets are flooded with imported meat, boxed and labeled to look like it's from here. But it's grown and processed thousands of miles away under standards that wouldn't pass on American soil. And every time that happens, every time a local rancher can't compete, we lose a piece of who we are. We must support our ranches and our farmers. Ranchers and farms, they matter. They don't just sell meat. They're the source of 100% American meat. If you get your meat from good ranchers, they also support the kind of America you still want to live in. So visit good ranchers.

American meat delivered. Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. All right, let me give you some good news here. This is a post, it was on X yesterday, came from the Health and Human Services Department. They let me just read it to you. HHS sent a letter to healthcare providers, risk managers and state medical boards urging immediate updates to treatment protocols for minors with gender dysphoria. Based on HHS comprehensive review that found puberty blockers, cross sex hormones and surgeries have very weak evidence of benefit but carry risk of significant harms, including stereotypical sterilization. Providers should no longer rely on discredited guidelines that promote these dangerous interventions for children and adolescents based on ideology and not evidence. Wow. Welcome to the return of common sense in medicine. Now RFK wrote that providers should avoid relying on the World Professional Health association for Transgender Health. That's wpath. Remember we talked about that years ago when it first started coming out and it was insanity. So now healthcare providers should not rely on that from hhs. It was one year ago we did a special exposing them for being ideological fraudsters. Wpath and you know, they were doing, I mean this is Frankenstein. This is Frankenstein. Like experiments on children and the mentally ill all done with the support of the medical community in the name of science and gender affirming care. Over our doctors took them seriously. They shouldn't have. Now here's what CNN said. Kennedy letters Kennedy's letter warns providers to avoid relying on guidelines from the World Professional association for Transgender Health on care and transgender and gender diverse people. These and other guidelines based on so called gender affirming model of care should not be relied on for harm of our children any further. The letter says. Good. Good. Kennedy says it's time for our doctors to now update all of the protocols. Amen. This is big news. This is the first big step, pulling us out of this death cult. I mean, when you are chemically castrating our children in America and the doctors are calling that a good step forward, that's a spiritual disease. And a lot of people voted for Donald Trump because they wanted to see an end to this. And I hope this means that there is an end to it. Dr. Oz is working on this, too, again from CNN. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services also announced Wednesday. That was yesterday. It was launching an oversight initiative into hospitals that performed experimental sex trait modification procedures on children. Administrator Dr. Oz said CMS will not turn a blind eye to procedures that lack a solid foundation of evidence and may result in lifelong harm. Good. We're not turning a blind eye to the children anymore. And we're saying this is wrong to do and we're taking the right steps. Now. All of this can be changed in the next election. I mean, I hope not. But so much can change between now and 20, 20, 28, when we elect another president. But I hope we start to see real improvement. I know that a majority of Americans, for the first time since. Can you tell me when. Stu, do you remember we looked this up when Americans said we're on the right track, wrong track. And we looked at it and we're like, wait, we haven't thought we were on the right track since when? Remember, it was a long time. And for the first time, it's the majority. It's over 50%.
