ALARMING: Why won't American companies build new factories here?

The United States of America was always a country where people came to prosper. But three years have passed since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and the country looks anything but prosperous.

Glenn Beck notes that our government has done exactly the opposite of what it should have done in order to strengthen the people here at home.

“What was the biggest problem with the coronavirus?” he asks. “Who was hurt the most? Seven million people died, yes. Then who was hurt the most?”

“I would say it was the small business, I would say that it was the American way of life. And that is not being told by the federal government what you must and must not do. And I would say the supply chain,” Glenn explains.

When the supply chain was halted because of the pandemic, we were taught something very valuable.

“Go local,” Glenn says.

However, massive corporations and our federal government either don’t recognize the need to localize production, or they don’t want to localize production.

“We’re destroying everything,” Glenn warns. “Degrowth is what’s happening to us right now. That is truly what is happening, and that is intentional.”

Glenn notes that about 80% of all pharmaceuticals come from overseas.

“Why isn’t Pfizer, why aren’t these big American behemoths making new factories here? How come? That would seem logical to me.”

“Why aren’t we talking about a national movement to reopen steel mills when most of our steel comes from overseas? Why? Because they are not planning on any growth,” he adds.

Glenn believes this is an intentional attack by the global elites to keep us reliant on other countries while destroying local communities.

“They’re just making sure that every single community answers to a global government,” he says, adding, “And it’s going to control all of the big financial firms, all of the big corporations, and it will make sure that you cannot do the things that would keep your local community safe.”
