"mark my words...watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, 'Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don't know about that decision. Because if you think the decision is sound when they're made, which I believe you will when they're made, they're not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they're popular, they're probably not sound."

GLENN: From Radio City in Midtown Manhattan, third most listened to show in all of America. Joe Biden should be forced by the media -- and he won't be -- should be forced by the media to explain this statement. This is from ABC News. Yesterday Joe Biden guaranteed that if elected Senator Barack Obama will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by with him as he makes tough and possibly unpopular decisions. Mark my words, quoting, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John F. Kennedy. Well, we know what that test was. That test was Russia and the Cuban missile crisis. That's not a small test. Anybody who was alive -- I was not. If anyone who was alive back then, they will tell you it was a frightening, frightening time, where we thought the entire world was going to be vaporized and everyone would be dead. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking -- exactly what we have told you on this program. We're about to -- by the way, boy, this is just -- I mean, there is just food in this one for two weeks. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John F. Kennedy." Think back to what I have told you about the perfect storm. Think back to what I have told you about the weight on this table. I have told you that if any -- if there's additional pressure or sudden pressure on this table, if there is a crisis like the Cuban missile crisis, it could cause this table to fall. It could -- there's just no more pressure that this table can take. And that's why the world is looking right now. That's why the world wants to test this guy. That's why our enemies want to push us up against the wall, because we are so vulnerable right now. We're about to elect a 47-year-old brilliant senator President of the United States of America. Remember, I said it here with you. If you don't remember anything else I said, quoting Joe Biden: Watch, we're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis to test the mettle of this guy. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate, and he's going to need help, and the kind of help he's going to need, he's going to need you, not financially to help him, we're going to need you to use your influence, your influence within the community to stand with him. Because it's not going to be apparent initially, it's not going to be apparent that we're right. Gird your loins. We're going to win with your weapon. God willing, we're going to win but this is not going to be an easy ride. This President, the next President is going to be left with the most significant task. It's like cleaning stables but it's more than that. This is just more than that, literally. Think about it. This is more than just a capital crisis. This is more than just markets. This is a systematic problem that we have with this economy.
He said, I forgot more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues now and I'm not being falsely humble with you. I think I can be value added, but this guy has it. This guy has it. He is going to need your help because I promise you, we're all going to be sitting here a year from now saying, oh, my God, why, why are they there in the polls, why is the polling so down, why is this thing so tough.

Do you hear this? This is not change and hope. Do you hear this? He is promising us, he has said "I promise you" a couple of times. He has said "I guarantee you" a couple of times. This is Joe Biden. "I promise you we're going to be sitting here a year from now going oh, my God," quoting, "Why are they there in the polls, why is the polling so down, why is this thing so tough. We're going to have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I'm asking you now, I'm asking you, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you're going to have to reinforce us. There are going to be a lot of you who want to go, whoa, wait a minute, whoa, whoa, whoa; I don't know about that decision because if you think the decision is sound when they're made, which I believe you they will be when they're made, they're not likely going to be as popular as they are sound because if they're popular, they're probably not sound." Whew.
He then went on to foreign policy again and said, "We don't have the military capacity, nor have we ever quite frankly in the last 20 years to dictate outcomes." In other words, we haven't had, according to Joe Biden, the military capacity in 20 years to win a war. I then said, "I probably shouldn't have said all of this because it's dawned on me that the press is here. But these guys have left us in a God-awful place. We have the ability to straighten out. It's going to take some time. I ask you to stay with us. Just stay with us." What the hell does that even mean?
Well, let's go a couple of places. Let's go on. Let's just -- since he mentioned the Middle East and Russia as possibilities, let's go a couple of ways. Let's go the Middle East. Let's say Russia and Iran block the Strait of Hormuz. Let's say Russia and Iran. Let's say Iran decides to announce that they are going to load pay loads of nuclear missiles. Do we strike? Do we not strike? Conventional wisdom would tell you that Barack Obama would not strike, but he's preparing for something unpopular, and he's talking directly to liberals. So that would lead you, if it would be that scenario, that would lead you to believe that we would strike.
I will tell you this. When it comes to foreign policy, I will just tell you what the President told me as I sat in the Oval Office. It was a year and a half ago. It was the day that Barack Obama said that he was going to fly planes over into Pakistan and that will cause World War III. Striking Iran is World War III. We are on the precipice. It's got to be right the first time. There's no more room to say, oh, well, it's not really working. There's no more room left. What the President said to me when I heard that statement from Barack Obama, he said, "Listen. No matter who wins, we are so boxed in, when they see the reports and the briefings that I see every day and they understand what's truly happening in the world, believe me, they will realize they have very few options. There's not going to be a lot done differently.
Now, is it a possibility that that's what he's talking about, that he's talking to his liberal friends? Maybe he's talking about an Iranian strike. Maybe he's talking about not doing anything on an Iranian strike. Maybe he's talking about going into Pakistan because this is the same speech where he talked about Osama Bin Laden is in Pakistan, and Pakistan is bristling with nuclear weapons. Is he talking about the possibility of going in there? Because that sure wouldn't look right. But it would to the dummies.
Is it a possibility, because he was talking about the economy, is it a possibility that he's talking about an international crisis, not military but an international crisis that is brewing all around the world? The rest of the world is blaming us for what has gone on. And you know what? The rest of the world had the same kind of policies that we do. The rest of the world had the same kind of spending. The rest of the -- England spent. They were deep into the 125% loans long before we were. These, the rest of the world had debt long before we did. But here's where they have a point. Here's where the rest of the world is starting to line up and blame us and that is what we've done to our dollar. And right now people on television will tell you, "Oh, don't worry about the dollar; look, it's gaining value because theirs is losing value. We're the safest." That's like, you know, that's -- honestly that's the end of Titanic. Okay, so the headboard was floating out there. That doesn't make the headboard a lifeboat. It makes it a headboard. It just happens to be better than some of the other things like people that they are grabbing onto and forcing down. It's still a headboard. It's not a lifeboat. And what we're doing to the headboard, the American dollar, is trashing it day after day after day after day.

There's another story. I just looked up at the television and they are talking about yet another stimulus package. I don't know if you saw this, but Fannie and Freddie are bailing out the bad mortgages. Well, what the heck was the $700 billion for? Why is Freddie and Fannie taking on additional mortgages? This money is not coming from China. This money is not coming from anywhere except the printing presses. And the rest of the world is saying, "What are you doing? You promised us in 1946 that you would have gold. Then in 1972 you promised you wouldn't trash your dollar but you were going to get off the gold standard. And now? Now what? Now you've trashed it. Now you've reached the top of the debt limit."
See, there was the gold standard, and when we got off the gold standard, we went to the debt standard. The debt standard is now too much. We got off the gold standard because of Johnson. We had the war in Vietnam and then we decided we're going to do the Great Society. So we needed to have more money to pay for the Great Society. Well, when we didn't have enough money because bed to stay on the gold standard, we were like, "Okay, you know what? Let's just get off the gold standard. Let's print some more money but not so much, just enough to make this Great Society work. Because remember debt, in your house debt's bad. But debt for the United States government? That's not bad. Well, now as we approach our first $1 trillion deficit in one year, we've hit the top of our debt standard. Nobody's going to want to loan to us. And so what happens? When we can't fund it through loans or we can't afford the interest, we'll just start printing more money. And we're printing it like there's no tomorrow. The line on the chart of printing money, you hit October and it goes straight up. Well, this is what leads to things like bread in a wheelbarrow.
So what happens if maybe he's talking about there's going to be an international crisis and that international crisis revolves around the Great Depression 2? What about that? And it might look very unpopular, but I'm going to need your help. And maybe that's one global financial system. Maybe it's one global currency because that's what China and France and everybody else is asking for now, one global currency. Gird your loins. "Gird your loins" are his words. This is not the campaign of hope and change. This is not the "We just need to get in there." This is not the message that you're getting from Wall Street. This is not the message that you're getting from any of the business leaders. This is not the message that you're getting from the Fed or the Treasury. You are not getting this. You are not getting that a guy could go -- Barack Obama could be Jesus to a year from now. Quote: I guarantee you you are going to be saying, oh, my God, why are they there in the polls," where he a year in advance is begging for you to stick with him. And if things are that bad in the polls and he knows public opinion, he knows, quote, what is right, but the American people will not know what is right -- do you hear this? He knows, Barack Obama knows what's right but you will not know what is right and so he's saying, "We're going to need your influence because the little people will disagree with it," how do you stop, how do you stop disenfranchisement from being a movement? How do you stop people when the government says "We know, little person, what is right and you're wrong and in time we'll prove you wrong and you'll know. So sit there and shut up." What does that mean about the Fairness Doctrine? How are they going to let voices like mine or Rush or Sean, how are they going to let voices like this say they're wrong! They won't. And it will be an international crisis that Joe Biden has just guaranteed us, if it takes six months. This is why I've been saying you've got to prepare because those who are prepared will not fear. Those who will prepare can lead the way. Those who are prepared, who understand what's coming, what they're talking about. I told you before none of these people are telling you the truth. This is the closest to the truth I've heard any of these people say. Those who are prepared will be able to lead and calm those around them that are panicking.
