California state Sen. Shannon Grove‚ a Republican‚ blasted her Democratic colleagues for weakening a bill that would make buying a child for sex a felony offense. The California bill‚ which Grove introduced in February‚ would have made soliciting a minor for sex a felony with the potential for up to four years of prison time‚ a fine of up to $25‚000‚ and required those convicted to register as sex offenders. Democrats on the state Senate’s Public Safety Committee passed amendments to the bill last Wednesday without Grove’s approval. The changes would drop prison time upon conviction to a maximum of one year in jail and reduce the charge to a misdemeanor if the child was 16 or 17.  “When I was standing at that podium I was shocked at what was happening‚ and I said‚ ‘Are you forcing these amendments on me&;#63;’ And the chair said‚ ‘Yes.’ And the audience‚ with all of our survivors in the background‚ gasped‚” Grove told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Some of them cried out. They’re mortified. They are hurt. They feel like they’ve been assaulted all over again by what happened.” The amendments also would make it so that a person could face charges or pay a $10‚000 fine and “buy their way out of a crime” if the victim was under 16 years old‚ Grove said. “I’ve thought through this process and I thought through any rational reason that they could have‚ but I think somebody just needs to ask them why they don’t want to put people in prison for buying children‚” Grove said. “My mind cannot wrap around a rational reason not to do that.” Today‚ the Senate Public Safety Committee refused to pass my bill to send child sex buyers to prison. Instead of making the buying of kids a felony with prison time‚ the committee forced me to take amendments I didn’t agree with and watered down my bill to allow a fine or…— Senator Shannon Grove (@ShannonGroveCA) April 16‚ 2024 California is the fifth-worst state in the nation for human trafficking‚ with 3.43 cases per 100‚000‚ according to the World Population Review. Sex trafficking accounted for 89% of all human trafficking cases in California in 2021‚ according to the Public Policy Institute of California. California lawmakers‚ however‚ have pushed legislation that weakens protections for minors who have been sexually abused. In 2020‚ Gov. Gavin Newsom‚ a Democrat‚ signed a bill authored by state Sen. Scott Wiener‚ a Democrat. A member of the Public Safety Committee‚ Newsom voted in favor of the amendments to Grove’s bill relaxing sex offender registry requirements for offenders not more than 10 years older than victims who are minors. A similar amendment to Grove’s bill would remove the requirement to register as a sex offender for buying or engaging in sexual behavior with a minor 15 years old and under‚ if the perpetrator is less than 10 years older than the victim‚ according to a press release from Grove’s office. Grove said the change was “bizarre‚ convoluted‚ and confusing … but purposeful.” “I think every Californian—well‚ just about every Californian—believes that buying sex from a child should be a felony‚” Grove said. “And I don’t think that these senators wanted to take that vote or face the public backlash‚ so they watered it down hoping that I would pull the bill entirely.” Wiener’s office did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. State Sen. Craig Bradford‚ a Democrat‚ also voted in support of the amendments‚ according to the Legislature’s website. Bradford noted during Wednesday’s hearing that although he was supportive of measures to prevent human trafficking‚ he “generally” hesitated about “creating new felonies” due to their potential “consequences on communities of color.” Bradford supported a previous bill proposed by Grove to make the selling of a minor for sex a felony. However‚ he said at the hearing that he was concerned about the new bill because the offender might not have known the minor’s age at the time of the crime. Grove said she worked with the Public Safety Committee by proposing an amendment to make the sex offender registry requirement for repeat offenders only‚ but her fellow senators didn’t accept her revisions. Bradford’s office referred the Daily Caller News Foundation to his Wednesday testimony. “We negotiated a second chance for offenders before you get on a registry‚ because there were things brought to us such as if they met somebody in a bar or they’re drinking‚ you would think that they were old enough to be there but come to find out the person was only 16‚” Grove said. “You don’t want to destroy anybody’s life‚ but if you’re a repeat offender‚ I want you in prison for a long time away from our children. We negotiated in good faith‚ but the whole time they were negotiating in bad faith. And I can tell you that someone told me that in 21 years‚ they have never seen that happen.” The bill now must make its way through the state Senate’s Appropriations Committee before going to the Senate floor‚ and Grove said her team is working to strengthen the bill. This setback was extremely disheartening for victims of sex trafficking and would only embolden sex traffickers‚ she argued. “These amendments say‚ ‘Buyers‚ you have free rein‚” Grove said. “Any perpetrator that enjoys engaging in sexual activity with a child is going to just continue to do it‚ because it’s going to still be just a slap on the wrist.” Originally published by the Daily Caller News Foundation The post GOP Lawmaker Bashes Dems for Making It Easier to Get Away With Trafficking Minors appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Should the war of all wars between Israel and Iran truly go hot‚ it will unleash an apocalyptic hell upon the world‚ sparking World War III‚ a new simulation depicts. Article by Ethan Huff‚ republished with permission from Naturalnews.com Described in one media report as bringing the world to the “gates of hell‚” an Israel versus Iran war would quickly go nuclear‚ leading to mass death and destruction at an exponential rate. The destruction of both nations is certain‚ the simulation shows. And many other surrounding nations‚ and eventually the rest of the world‚ would also feel its effects to an unprecedented degree. The entire Middle East would be reduced to rubble. Then‚ as the conflict spirals outward from there‚ entire nations would collapse. It would start with tit-for-tat missile strikes between the two nations. Then Israel would wage war on Iranian proxies such as Hezbollah and Hamas. Houthis would then fire at ships in the Red Sea‚ prompting Israel to conduct a nuclear strike. Iran would then respond in kind‚ igniting full-scale nuclear war. (Related: Bill Gates is fully on board with unleashing hell upon the world in the form of a “Pandemic 2” where his human slaves will be required to get “vaccinated” from “a little patch.”) Israel to fight Iran alone The simulation was created by both military and security experts who say they know how the conflict would unfold. It contains a step-by-step breakdown of what would transpire and how quickly the whole thing would escalate. One noteworthy aspect of the war is that Israel would no longer receive help from the United States‚ having already robbed the nation blind and left it for dead. This leaves Israel to stand alone in a fight against Iran. In an attempt to make Iran surrender‚ Israel would attempt a non-lethal nuclear detonation. When that fails‚ Israel would then launch 50 nuclear weapons towards Iran‚ which responds by nuking an air base full of U.S. troops. It is at this point where the war game simulation ends‚ with Syria‚ Lebanon‚ and even Yemen left in radioactive ruin. In the event that Iran and Israel find themselves in a nuclear stalemate‚ the West would likely enter the conflict‚ to its own demise as well. U.S. intelligence is already warning Israel that such an outcome is possible after the Zionist state killed several top Iranian commanders in a bombing of an Iranian embassy in Syria. Iran has since vowed to “punish” Israel for the bombing‚ though this has not yet happened as of this writing. Should Iran unleash its nukes at Israel in retaliation‚ Israel would then proceed to launch U.S. long-range missiles at Iranian nuclear and missile sites. Hezbollah‚ Houthi and Hamas would then unleash a wave of devastating strikes on Israel. Israel’s response to this would be to attack proxy hotbeds‚ prompting Iran to then strike Israeli nuclear and government defense sites in Tel Aviv‚ Israel’s capital. At this time‚ Israel would withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty‚ officially shifting from conventional to nuclear war. Tehran has confirmed that it now has missiles in its arsenal that are capable of striking Israel. These include Sejjil‚ Khaibar‚ Emad‚ Shahab-3‚ Ghadr‚ Paveh‚ Fattah-2‚ Kheibar and Haj Qasem missiles. “Israel at this point turns to the U.S.‚ telling them that conventional strikes on Iranian nuclear sites have done little to hamper their weapons store‚” The Sun explains about the next steps in the hypothetical conflict. “The U.S. doesn’t approve a joint raid on Iran and tells Israel to dial back the fighting – for fear of nuclear escalation. Israel’s prime minister‚ out in the cold without their biggest ally‚ decides nuclear weapons are the only option.” The latest news about the world’s rapid descent into another world war can be found at WWIII.news.

Barack Obama&;#63;  The puppet master behind Biden. Soros&;#63;  The puppet master behind Biden. China&;#63;  Always on the list. Democrats&;#63; RINOs&;#63; Election theft&;#63; Nuclear attack&;#63; All of these things are serious threats‚ but I want to tell you about something often not discussed….but the impact could be bigger than anything above. Yes‚ really. It’s called an EMP attack. What’s an “EMP” anyway&;#63; Good question&;#33; An EMP‚ or Electromagnetic Pulse‚ is a powerful burst of energy that can disrupt or damage electronic devices and electrical systems. It’s like a super strong wave of energy that can mess with anything that uses electricity. This includes cell phones‚ computers‚ cars‚ and even the power grid that gives electricity to homes and businesses. You may have heard about it before‚ but it’s not commonly discussed. So let me break it all down for you… Likelihood of an EMP Attack: Technological Feasibility: Creating an effective EMP weapon is technologically challenging. It typically involves nuclear detonations at high altitudes or sophisticated non-nuclear devices. The complexity of these technologies limits their availability mostly to advanced military powers. Global Politics and Deterrence: The United States has strong diplomatic relations and defense systems‚ which act as deterrents against direct attacks from other major powers. The doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD) often serves as a deterrent against nuclear-based EMP attacks‚ as such an attack could lead to a full-scale nuclear war. Non-State Actors: The greater risk may come from non-state actors (like terrorist groups) who might not be deterred by traditional means. However‚ their access to the necessary technology is typically quite limited. Natural EMPs: There is also the risk of a natural EMP caused by a solar storm‚ similar to the Carrington Event of 1859. While not a deliberate attack‚ the effects could be similarly disruptive. Most Likely Ways an EMP Could Happen: High-Altitude Nuclear Detonation: A nuclear bomb detonated high in the atmosphere could create a powerful EMP. This would require intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capabilities. Non-Nuclear EMP Devices: These devices can be designed to target specific areas or systems without the broader destruction caused by nuclear weapons. However‚ their effective range and power are generally less than a nuclear EMP. Cyber-Physical Attacks: A coordinated cyber-attack on power grids and electronic systems could mimic some effects of an EMP‚ though technically different. Solar Storms: A severe solar storm hitting the Earth could create natural EMP effects‚ disrupting electrical systems and communications. The Fallout From an EMP: Power Outage: EMPs can knock out electricity everywhere‚ like turning off a big light switch for a whole city or even a country. No Internet or Phones: Imagine not being able to call‚ text‚ or use the internet. That’s what happens with an EMP. Water Supply Issues: Without power‚ getting clean water to homes and buildings becomes really hard. Food Shortage: Stores need electricity to keep food fresh. Without it‚ a lot of food can go bad quickly. No Heating or Air Conditioning: Houses and buildings would lose heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. Hospitals Struggle: Hospitals rely on power for life-saving equipment. An EMP could put many lives at risk. Transportation Problems: Cars‚ buses‚ and trains might not work‚ making it tough to get around. Banking and Money Problems: ATMs and credit card machines need power‚ so buying things could become really difficult. Emergency Services Disrupted: Police‚ fire‚ and ambulance services could be severely affected. Danger to Airplanes: Planes flying when an EMP hits could have serious trouble. Schools Closing: With no power‚ schools might have to close. No Radio or TV: News and entertainment through radio and TV would be cut off. Damage to Electronics: An EMP can break things like computers‚ TVs‚ and even some toys. Industrial Shutdowns: Factories and other big workplaces would have to stop work. Fuel Shortages: Gas stations need power to pump gas‚ so cars might run out of fuel. Increased Crime: Without alarms or streetlights‚ there might be more thefts and other crimes. Health Risks from Spoiled Food: Without fridges‚ food can spoil and make people sick. Waste Disposal Problems: Trash and sewage systems might not work properly. Mental Health Stress: The sudden change and uncertainty can be really stressful and scary for people. Long-Term Recovery: Fixing everything after an EMP can take a really long time and be very hard. Life In America Following an EMP Attack: Week 1: Immediate Chaos and Confusion In the immediate aftermath‚ there would be widespread panic and confusion. The EMP‚ having disabled all electronics‚ would leave individuals without means of communication; cell phones‚ internet‚ and radio would be rendered useless. Transportation systems would grind to a halt. Modern vehicles with electronic components would fail‚ leading to widespread traffic jams and stranded individuals. Emergency services would be severely hampered‚ struggling to respond to incidents without their usual communication and transportation infrastructure. There would be a run on stores for essential supplies as people quickly realize the severity of the situation. This could lead to shortages and even looting in some areas. Week 2-3: Adapting to the New Reality Communities would begin to adapt. Those with older‚ non-electronic vehicles and equipment would find themselves at an advantage. People would turn to bicycles‚ horses‚ or simply walking for transportation. The lack of refrigeration and electronic banking systems would lead to a reliance on cash transactions and bartering. Localized trading systems might emerge. Battery-operated or hand-crank radios would become vital sources of information‚ assuming some radio stations could continue broadcasting. There would be a significant increase in manual labor as machines and automated systems used in manufacturing and agriculture would be non-operational. Week 4 and Beyond: Long-Term Adjustments Social structures would begin to shift‚ with communities becoming more localized and self-sufficient. Neighbors would need to work together for survival‚ leading to a resurgence of community-oriented living. Food shortages could become a serious issue. Without modern transportation and preservation methods‚ communities would have to rely on locally sourced food‚ leading to a rise in gardening and small-scale farming. Health care would face severe challenges. Hospitals would struggle without modern equipment‚ leading to a reliance on more traditional methods of treatment and an increased need for medical knowledge within communities. Education would revert to non-digital methods. Schools‚ if they remained open‚ would rely on books and oral teaching methods. Over time‚ there might be efforts to rebuild some form of electrical infrastructure‚ but this would be a slow and difficult process given the extent of the damage caused by the EMP. Now you see what I’m talking about&;#63; As usual‚ I don’t like to just leave you hanging with the bad news….I like to give you solutions&;#33; And I have one here. You know I’ve got you covered&;#33; There ARE things you can do right now to make sure you and your family will stay safe and be able to survive in the event we end up living through an EMP strike. Imagine losing all lights and heating in the winter&;#63; Negative 10 degrees outside and suddenly you’re back in the stone age&;#63; Follow the link below to find out what you can do right now. TAKE ACTION NOW Let’s all stay safe together‚ ok&;#63;

Heads up folks… I keep sounding the alarm on this because it’s big. Really big. And it could change your life overnight. That’s not my words‚ that’s Glenn Beck‚ his guest Carol Roth‚ even NPR has confirmed. And when do Glenn Beck and NPR agree on anything&;#63; I’ve been warning you about this for a long time. So has Bo Polny. And I’m going to continue to do so. It might sound boring to you‚ but I promise you it is not.  If the US Petrodollar falls as the world reserve currency‚ your standard of living and quality of life here in the United States will change instantly and overnight.  And not for the better.   Let’s jump right in to this latest video from Glenn Beck interviewing Carol Roth. It’s only about 15 minutes long but you need to see it. If the dollar falls‚ your life will change overnight. And speaking of things changing overnight‚ Glenn says we’re at the point where literally you could wake up Monday morning and find all the banks closed. Watch here: I know a lot of you like when I post a written transcript so I’ve got that for you here — but then scroll down past the transcript because I have a LOT more to show you. I’m only getting started. I’ll connect a bunch more dots for you down below that you need to see. It’s all coming together: the end of the SWIFT system‚ XRP‚ crypto‚ gold‚ silver‚ the fall of the Petrodollar‚ the end of the FRN‚ Titanic to Titan…the end of the Federal Reserve‚ Bretton Woods‚ Bretton Woods 2.0&;#63; Everything is converging right now‚ a 100-year event is about to play out. Here’s the transcript: GLENN: Carol Roth‚ the author of The War on Small Business and former investment banker who started to use her gifts for the good‚ instead of the evil‚ is joining me now. She’s also got a new book coming out‚ the week after mine. And they are great hand-in-glove books. You Will Own Nothing. Could the dollar get knocked off the top spot‚ as the world’s reserve currency&;#63; Challenges are emerging‚ and history shows‚ that countries whose currency has dominated the globe‚ can fall from that global reserve‚ that top spot‚ pretty fast‚ even over the course of a few days. We didn’t luck our way into this position. Listen to me carefully‚ it was a carefully engineered plan that unfolded in the mountains of New Hampshire‚ nearly 80 years ago. At the time‚ the British pound sterling‚ was the international currency. A title it had held for texting. But Bretton Woods changed everything. Now‚ this is actually — these are not my words. These are the words of NPR. They just came out with this story. The US dollar conquered the world. Is it at risk of losing its top spot&;#63; I know because I’ve been talking about this for a long time. And everyone has said‚ that will never happen. And I said‚ really&;#63; Yes‚ it will. And places like NPR have always called me a conspiracy theorist‚ even though they said that Bretton Woods was a carefully engineered plan that unfolded in the mountains of New Hampshire nearly 80 years ago. Who is the conspiracy theorist&;#63; It doesn’t sound like me. It sounds like‚ if I am‚ NPR‚ you are too. But now Carol Roth is with us. Carol‚ now things are really starting to get serious‚ because as you said‚ we are falling ten times the rate than we have since 2003. And countries are getting serious. They — you know‚ everybody always said‚ well‚ we’re the worst — or‚ we’re the best of the worst. We’re still bad. CAROL: Cleanest shirt in the laundry. Skinniest kid at fat camp. Yes. GLENN: Well‚ now the actual skinny kids are showing up at fat camp‚ and saying‚ yeah. And we’re just getting into shape. And we’re just — we’re just — we’re right around the corner. And countries are moving in that direction. CAROL: So I have to tell you a little thing — a tale on your Bretton Woods. This carefully crafted strategy. One of the things I learned in researching You Will Own Nothing was from Jim Rickards. He’s a fabulous economist. GLENN: Great. CAROL: He told me that you know who really crafted this plan&;#63; You know who was really behind this&;#63; It was Russia. That basically‚ Harry Dexter White‚ who was the negotiator. He was the secretary of the US Treasury. He was the negotiator for the US side. That he was a Stalinist agent‚ and the entire plan was to knock Britain off of the pole position. That was the plan. They didn’t even sign the agreement. They just hung out. They were there. They hung out in the back room. They didn’t sign the agreement. But our US Treasury Secretary‚ who was negotiating this‚ was a Stalinist agent. This has been backed up even on Vox.com. So‚ again‚ not conspiracy. I have it very well-cited once Jim told me. Because it sounds kind of loony‚ but went back and did the research. And this was actually Russia’s plan that created this. And the entire focus‚ they didn’t care about the US. They wanted Britain out of that power position‚ because they felt like that would make them stronger. And I say this and I share this in this discussion‚ because I think that as history rhymes‚ we need to keep that in mind. That if there ends up being some sort of a global cabal that comes together‚ or a war‚ that there are people that are focused on this. GLENN: Yes. CAROL: Right now. It’s Russia. It’s China. It’s China courting Saudi Arabia. And we have issues‚ not just with reserves‚ but also that the key piece. Because you asked me this one time offline. It’s not just the reserves. The reserves allow us to finance debt cheaply at the government level‚ and create some arbitrage. But really what is this pole position as well‚ is being a huge piece of the payments. We dominate‚ dominate. And have not lost ground‚ by the way‚ on the payment side. But China. GLENN: Hang on. You’re talking about like the swift payment system. CAROL: The global payment. GLENN: Got it. If you talk about SWIFT. SWIFT is this international payment system‚ that connects the global banks. And says‚ this is what will happen in terms of global trade‚ $100 trillion a month goes through SWIFT. GLENN: Oh‚ my gosh. CAROL: And right now China only has about 2.4 percent of that. So they are working on clawing their way up. They are trying to make deals. They’re trying to convince the Saudis to let everybody pay. Including them. Pay for oil and their currency. The yuan. And so obviously‚ they’re kind of really focused on this. There was a China Arab conference last week‚ the first of — the first one I think they’ve been doing for ten years. And a few things were announced. One‚ the Bank of China is opening its first branch in Riyadh‚ which is the Saudi Capitol. And then out of that‚ I can read you this. I am going to quote this from CNBC. The Saudi minister said: Saudi Arabia and China are part of a multi-polar world order. And their mutual interests are‚ quote‚ strong and rising. So the Saudis‚ are playing both sides of this. Right‚ they don’t want to give up‚ their sort of alliance with the US. But they see the weakness‚ and they see the weakness coming from our president. But they also see the weakness in terms of the attempted destruction of their own economy. All of this green nonsense‚ that’s being pushed in the US‚ and with the other G-7 countries. It threatens their livelihood. So‚ of course‚ they’re going to hedge their bets. China is the largest net importer of oil. And on a per capita basis‚ they use a fraction of what they do here in the US‚ so there’s an opportunity for growth. GLENN: Well‚ that’s because some people have electricity‚ and most people have nothing. CAROL: Exactly. Exactly. GLENN: Right. CAROL: So‚ you know‚ they are trying to say‚ you know‚ we’re going to — yes. We are the ones who said‚ you could have the petrodollar. And we are the ones who have been plowing our profits back into the Treasury. And you allowed us to do that and hid that fact. But‚ you know‚ now‚ you don’t really look as strong as you’re used to. So we’re going to hedge our bets. And we don’t really think you’re going to do anything about it. And this has not only economic implications‚ Glenn. But obviously military implications as well. Because one of the things that we provided the Saudis for allowing the petro dollar‚ and we’re plowing their dollars back into Treasuries. Is we said‚ okay. Well‚ we’ll help you out militarily. Well‚ guess who is knocking on that door right now. That is China. GLENN: Oh‚ yeah. Oh‚ yeah. So someone asked me the other day‚ when do you think — and I said‚ nobody could predict this. This could literally happen — today is Thursday. Monday‚ you could wake up and the banks would all be closed. And we would be in a dire situation‚ because I don’t know. We went to Russia — went to war with Russia overnight. Any big shock could trigger this. And we might have big shocks that come and go. And we were just kind of coasting there. We have no idea. But what people have to really understand is: When it happens‚ life as you know it‚ in America‚ is completely different. Correct&;#63; CAROL: Yeah. I think we’ve talked about this before. Sort of coming to grips with reality. You don’t want to be in that situation. And just be processing that situation if and when it happens. You want to be prepared for it‚ and say‚ okay. I’ve gotten past the shock already. I kind of expected this day might come. And‚ hey‚ I have a plan in place. Because I know that there will be chaos. You know‚ you started with Bretton Woods. Once that Bretton Woods agreement was signed. It was something like 15 years‚ that it took to change out the global financial order‚ in a way that everything was sort of smoothly operating and the US was fully in that pole position. It didn’t just happen one day to the next. And there was chaos in these transition periods. And sometimes there are transition periods before there’s a wholesale change. So you may have these — these kind of interim periods of chaos. And certainly‚ we’ve seen that domestically. In things like with the banking crisis. And the financial crisis‚ and the like. But there could be sort of an international chaotic period. And that’s why you really do need to have the diversification‚ in your portfolio‚ as well as that personal plan. What are you doing in your personal life‚ and in your community. To make sure that something goes awry. And there is this chaos. What are you going to do to make it through that period&;#63; Again‚ this doesn’t mean that the dollar is going away. It doesn’t mean that the entire US economy collapses forever. It just means that the stakes are shifting. And everybody is telegraphing it. This is one thing I noted‚ in your upcoming book‚ Dark Future. I also talked about it‚ in you will own nothing. Is the White House has telegraphed this. Joe Biden has said‚ there is a new world coming. And‚ quote‚ unquote‚ we have to lead that. Now‚ of course he was talking to elite business people‚ so I’m assuming that means him and his friends. But this is not like a conspiracy at all. This is — you type in Joe Biden‚ New World Order into Google. You will get tons of search results. We all know this is coming. GLENN: And you will get from that same speech. As I have it in my book. You take the phrases that are in his speech‚ you type them out. And you have western leaders and world economic leaders‚ using exactly the same verbiage. So they’re all aware of something. But you’re not. Because media won’t report on it. And anybody who does report on it‚ will say it’s a conspiracy theorist. You’re a conspiracy theorist. It’s not. They’re all saying it. CAROL: And you have to say to yourself‚ okay. The elite and wealthy people in the world know that the financial stakes are shifting. Are they going to just sit back and hope it works out for them&;#63; Of course not. They will do everything in their power to make sure they are molding it and controlling it to whatever standpoint they can. And to make sure they and their cronies come out on top. And that’s where we take the conspiracy element out of it. It’s not so much that they intentionally want to keep you down. They just want to keep themselves up. And they don’t care what happens to you. And if you are at their expense‚ then so be it. GLENN: Exactly right. So be it. PAT: That’s really the takeaway. And that’s why you need to prepare‚ and make sure that you do the things‚ so that you can manage through this chaotic periods. And do everything you can so that you own as much as possible. And will actually be happy‚ not the you will own nothing in the end. GLENN: Right. Carol Roth from CarolRoth.com. If you go to CarolRoth.com/Glenn‚ you can find out more of her work and follow her. She’s really‚ really good. She writes for TheBlaze‚ among other places. And she’s written a new book called you will own nothing. It will release July 18th. You can find it at CarolRoth.com. Or you can go to Amazon. I will tell you‚ when you buy my book or her book‚ it usually is. These people who bought this book‚ also bought that one. They go hand in hand. Mine is dark future. It is coming out a week before hers. Mine is a — much more of a‚ how this is going to control. And what their plan really is. Carol is so much better than I am. Of taking all of those plans‚ and saying‚ here’s what you need to know‚ to do. This is how you can save yourself. And it’s — it’s a fantastic book. You can get it‚ wherever books are sold. Again‚ it is You Will Own Nothing‚ by Carol Roth‚ and my book at the same time. Dark Future. Same topic. Not a lot of — I shouldn’t say that. I was going to say‚ not a lot of the same information. Just presented in different ways. One to warn‚ one to say‚ here’s how you protect yourself. And Carol is great. Thank you so much‚ Carol. Appreciate it. CAROL: Thank you so much. And‚ by the way‚ Glenn. Thank you so much. You are the number one endorsement on the back of the book. I so appreciate it. GLENN: Will you send me a copy&;#63; CAROL: We sent it to you. We sent it to you. So you should have it any day. This is early release copy‚ because Glenn was so instrumental. You were the first person that I emailed. And I said‚ this is what I’m thinking. And you pushed me to go deep. And connect all these dots. So I’m just so grateful you to. And so grateful for Dark Future. And those being companion pieces together. GLENN: Yeah‚ Carol‚ thank you. God bless. Now if you’re a little confused about why the U.S. Dollar is so important‚ you need to see this. It’s the “petrodollar” and it’s the reason we have such a high standard of living here in the USA. But when it falls&;#63; Worse than the Great Depression — and here’s that word again: overnight. Watch this and I think you’ll understand: The standard of living in America will FALL OVERNIGHT if the petrodollar falls… “Worse than the Great Depression” PREPARE NOW Watch: pic.twitter.com/bBbq9TI0oP — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) June 24‚ 2023 And here is NPR of all places‚ confirming exactly what Glenn Beck‚ Bo Polny‚ me and so many others have been telling you: The dollar is the world’s currency: It dominates global business. The dollar is surging. This is who gets helped — and hurt — by its newfound strength Economists call it the “global reserve currency‚” a fancy title the dollar got about 80 years ago that has brought some pretty serious perks to the U.S. economy. But could the dollar get knocked off the top spot&;#63; There are challengers emerging‚ and history shows that countries whose currency dominated the globe can fall from that top spot pretty fast … even over the course of a few days. How it started: timing + muscle + lots of gold The U.S. dollar did not luck its way into the top spot. It was a carefully engineered plan that unfolded in the mountains of New Hampshire nearly 80 years ago. At the time the British Pound Sterling was the international currency. A title it had held for decades. The dollar’s rise happened pretty suddenly at the Bretton Woods International Monetary Conference in 1944. Bretton Woods was a gathering of world leaders at the end of World War II. They came together to try and establish an international system for trade and finance‚ to help bind the world together and increase prosperity for all. Now let’s talk solutions… Because I can’t leave you hanging just with doom and gloom. As always‚ I leave you with SOLUTIONS&;#33; You may have noticed Glenn brought up gold. In fact‚ you’ve probably been hearing a LOT about gold. There are many credible rumors saying gold will back the new reserve currency that’s about to emerge…wouldn’t THAT be interesting&;#33; Gold has been the ONE currency to have stood the test of time. Literally “God’s Money” it has never gone to zero and by all accounts never will. And the Central Banks know it. I always say: watch what they DO‚ not what they SAY. There’s a phrase on Wall Street called “talking your book”. It’s a pretty evil thing… Basically what it means is while you are telling the world one thing‚ you are secretly doing the exact opposite behind the scenes. Why&;#63; Because if you can make the entire market panic (retirees‚ workers contributing to 401ks‚ people trying to get ahead with investments)‚ then you can swoop in while they’re panicking and buy on the cheap&;#33; Vice-versa‚ if you can create euphoria‚ you can get the public to buy in at exactly the wrong time….all while you cash out. It’s what Wall Street has been doing forever. And history is repeating itself right now with Gold and Silver — in my opinion. For the last year‚ central banks across the globe have been buying up as much gold (and often silver) as they can acquire without raising alarm bells. Now‚ we see why. The recent bank runs and ongoing collapse of the U.S. banking system was anticipated by the “elites” and the central bankers who run things behind the scenes. They saw it coming and knew the best way to protect their assets was through physical precious metals. So…the only question is‚ are you going to do what they TELL YOU or do what they DO themselves&;#63; It’s why Jim Cramer is wrong almost EVERY time on CNBC. His job is not to give you great Financial Advice. I sure hope you didn’t think that. No‚ his job is to “talk the books” for Wall Street and get the narrative out that they want&;#33; Even if it’s wrong — like it is over and over and over. So‚ what can you do&;#63; You can do what the Central Banks are doing…get some Gold and Silver. Precious metals. God’s money. I just talked about precious metals this week with Bo Polny and now I’m bringing you a solution that you can utilize right away if you’re so inclined… Oh and here’s the best part…it’s from a faith-driven‚ conservative precious metals company whose mission is to help Americans tap into the rising precious metals market through self-directed IRAs backed by physical precious metals.

Unlike most companies offering similar services‚ Genesis deals only with physical precious metals. So important. They do not offer “virtual” or “paper” gold or silver. Oh‚ and you know who else loves these guys&;#63; Superman. Literally Superman‚ Conservative Actor and the man who once played Clark Kent on ABC‚ Dean Cain. Check this out: With Genesis and their depositories‚ customers can see and touch the precious metals that back their retirement accounts. When it comes time to take distributions‚ Genesis customers can cash in some or all of their precious metals or have them delivered to their door. Central bankers aren’t slowing down.

The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday to advance the $95 billion foreign aid package that sends American taxpayer dollars to Ukraine‚ Israel‚ and Taiwan. The measure also includes the bill that could potentially ban TikTok. “The vote of 80-19 indicates the legislation has enough support to clear the Senate in a final vote‚ which could come as soon as Tuesday evening‚ and then head to President Joe Biden’s desk to be signed into law‚” NBC News reports. #BREAKING: The US Senate has enough votes to PASS the $95 billion foreign aid package It will soon head to Biden’s desk to be signed‚ and then our money will be shipped overseas once again. And of course‚ not a SINGLE DIME for the people of Maui or East Palestine‚ Ohio… pic.twitter.com/sHIOfA9kFX — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) April 23‚ 2024 NBC News reports: The package‚ which passed the House on Saturday‚ includes $60 billion in aid to Ukraine that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said would give his country “a chance at victory” against Russia. It includes $26 billion in aid to Israel and humanitarian relief in Gaza‚ in addition to $8 billion for security in Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific. And it would give TikTok’s China-based parent company nine months‚ which the president could extend to a year‚ to sell the popular social media platform or be banned in the U.S. That puts TikTok closer than ever before to a prohibition while ensuring that it won’t be banned until after the 2024 election. Senators on Tuesday afternoon will discuss whether they can reach a deal to quickly vote to give final passage to the bill later in the day or whether to wait until Wednesday to approve it.

Per The Guardian: The Senate’s Democratic leader‚ Chuck Schumer‚ once again spoke from the chamber’s floor after lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to advance the $95b bill authorizing military aid to Ukraine‚ Israel and Taiwan. Passing the legislation was a top priority for Joe Biden‚ his Democratic allies and some Republicans‚ including the Senate minority leader‚ Mitch McConnell. It faced resistance from others in the GOP‚ among them the Republican House speaker‚ Mike Johnson. But Johnson relented earlier this month‚ and allowed it to be voted on in the House‚ where it passed with more Democrats in favor than Republicans. In his remarks‚ Schumer thanked Johnson and McConnell‚ while saying the bill’s passage was a sign that bipartisanship is alive and well in a Congress better known for intractable partisan stalemate. “Today’s outcome yet confirms another thing we’ve stressed from the beginning of this Congress. In divided government‚ the only way to ever get things done is bipartisanship‚” Schumer said. “I thank leader McConnell‚ as I’ve mentioned before‚ working hand in hand with us‚ not letting partisanship get in the way. I thank Speaker Johnson‚ who rose to the occasion‚ in his own words‚ that he had to do the right thing‚ despite the enormous political pressure on him.
