7 Ways YOU Fought Back Against Tyranny and WON | Guests: Alex Epstein & Donica Hudson | 4/21/23

and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.

When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-litre jug.

When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.

Oh, come on.

They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.

Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.

Whatever.

You were made to outdo your holidays.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia, made to travel.

Welcome to the program today.

We're glad that you're here.

I want to talk to you a little bit about sweating.

Stu's a sweaty mess, always.

I understand you need to talk about something when you're talking about sweat.

You do want to talk about yourself, but I don't think that that's a huge problem for me.

Well, you know, I mean, I...

See, people who usually stink like Stu does

they don't know.

They, you know, and I'm here to gently tell you, woo.

You're right.

That is what people say.

Listen, what I I hope I don't ever stink, but I sweat so much, especially outside in the heat.

Oh my gosh.

I tried Sweatblock a couple of years ago, the wipes, and they are amazing.

Amazing.

You put a wipe under each arm, just wipe under each arm one time.

You last a week and no sweating, no

pouring sweat down the sides of your body.

I mean, it is amazing, and you smell good.

Sweatblock.

You can find the wipes on Amazon, but you can get a discount if you use the promo code Beck at sweatblock.com.

Sweatblock.com.

Promo code Beck.

We got no room to cop and bite.

We gotta stand together in some corners of life.

Stand up, stand, and hold the light.

It's a new day, our time to rise.

I want you to know the battle is

raging and the battle is on.

But why do I sound suddenly like RFK?

Hang on.

RFK Jr.

Yeah.

Yeah, now you can have 14% in the primary.

By the way, that's where he's showing up at, which is 14%.

Way too high if you happen to be Joe Biden and be a sitting president.

Yeah, you know, and your opponents.

I don't know.

I mean, really.

I mean, this is an amazing thing.

14%.

14%.

Significant.

Yeah.

And that shows you, again, something's changing in America.

Here's a guy who would never have gotten 14%, you know, even six years ago.

And 14% now with Democrats, that shows there are Democrats that are like, okay, okay.

All the vaccine stuff that was going on, not necessarily anti-vaccine, but anti-government collusion, because that's his real message right now.

We'll get into that later.

But that also, I think, is good news.

ESPN, here's some more.

ESPN,

Stage

Steele and Samantha Ponder, both mothers of three children, both have daughters, this week utilize their celebrity to help ensure that their daughters and other American girls may once again be able to enjoy fair athletic competition.

Steele, the co-host of Sports Center and Ponder, the host of Sunday NFL Countdown, joined all-American swim star Riley Gaines

in voicing opposition to the Biden administration's proposed requirement that makes males

permitted to participate in women's sports.

Now, here's what happened.

The Department of Education has proposed a a change to Title IX.

They did this on April 6th, and usually there's a 60-day public

hearing on it, but they didn't think they needed that.

They're just going to do 30 days this time.

Anyway, and it will stop all federal funding to schools and universities

if they are segregating their sports across the board.

basically by biological sex.

Can't do that anymore.

you don't get your tax dollars.

Really?

Because those are my tax dollars.

Why, by the way, am I sending my education tax dollars to you in Washington, where you only send 40% of our dollars back to education?

Not even necessarily in my neighborhood.

What the hell are we doing?

Anyway,

Thomas, Leah Thomas, remember,

was a middling performer at the University of Pennsylvania on the the men's swimming team.

And

he said,

it breaks my heart to see trans kids across the country lose out on these opportunities.

Well, wait a minute, you weren't losing out.

You were swimming.

You were in the university.

You were on the swim team.

You just weren't number one.

So what opportunity is it?

The opportunity to compete and swim or the opportunity to win?

He said

the proposed rule for Title IX is a good start, but not enough.

On Monday, Riley Gaines responded to the video, zeroing in on the suggestion that the same-sex competition requirements amounted to discrimination advanced under the guise of competitive fairness.

Gaines added in her critique of the Thomas video, does it not break your heart to see women lose out on these opportunities?

The female all-American underscored the proposed regulation denies science, truth, and common sense.

I want you to stop saying you're against things.

I don't know.

There's something happening with me right now where I am.

I'm very clear that,

well, let me get all Jesus here for a second.

You know,

Jesus didn't have to fight Satan.

He wasn't like, oh man, I'm going to meet Satan in the desert.

He didn't care.

All he had to say is, you're dismissed.

Now, he's Christ, so he has, you know, a little more power.

We have to go to the extra step of,

in the name of Jesus Christ,

you're dismissed.

Okay,

we have to go that far.

Why are we freaking out when we have the winning power on our side?

You only freak out when you don't know what's coming.

That's a,

what is it called?

A jump scare.

You're like, oh my gosh.

You know what's coming.

You know what we're fighting.

Why are we worried about it?

All you have to do is know the power that you have access to.

And then on top of that, you know the truth.

All I'm doing, I'm not fighting against anybody.

I'm standing up for the truth.

We've got to start standing up for the truth.

I don't hate anyone.

I'm not against Leah Thomas or anybody else.

He's just a him, not a her.

And

it's not right.

to take the opportunities away from our daughters in sports.

It's also not right because it makes several girls uncomfortable.

It's not right to mutilate our children or give them hormone therapy.

Why?

Because there are no studies that show that this is a good thing.

None.

None.

In fact,

there were some studies that said maybe

Europe is dumping all of that stuff now.

They're getting out of it because new studies are now showing us, ah, not a problem.

We shouldn't be doing this.

It's not a problem to drop all of this because it's a problem if we continue to go down this road.

All I'm doing is standing up for the truth.

I'll listen to science.

I won't listen to the science because I don't believe there is the science.

Science is constantly evolving and gathering new facts.

That's why you're a moron if you don't change over time.

That means you haven't learned anything because there's always new things to learn.

Always things that change and give nuance to people's opinions.

So I'm open to new ideas, but not ones that are based on lies.

No big deal.

So anyway, Stage Steel

retweeted Gain's remarks on Tuesday.

And

she said, this is heartbreaking, maddening, and really difficult to watch.

I keep thinking we're going to wake up and be relieved that this was all a ridiculous, comical, nonsensical dream.

Hashtag, I stand with Riley Gaines.

Then,

the independent co-founder of the Independent Council on Women's Sports, Kim Jones, said, it's a dark, twisted, cruel world we're creating for women.

Every time a woman wakes up to this, it feels so entirely lonely.

Like, how can we be here?

How, how are people supporting this?

How does this movement have so much power?

It is really time to understand just what groundwork has been laid to fight our way back from this madness loudly.

This is fantastic.

Fantastic.

The tide is turning, and you don't need to go pick up a gun like they now are doing.

They are so

sadly sick.

So sadly sick

that they, in their twisted minds, think that it is okay to pick up a gun and shoot children in a school.

They mourn.

I mourn with the parents of the shooter.

Nobody wants that to happen.

Nobody.

The parents, somewhere or another, they lost their child.

Somewhere away or another.

And that can happen to all of us.

So I mourn, but I also mourn for the victims.

I'm sad about the shooter, but now she's not here.

So,

you know, she's finding truth out in her own way now and realizing there is

eternal truths.

Another win.

Listen to this.

Budweiser just came out, you know, with her ad.

A watchmaker has released an advertisement

showing racial gender theory's effect on female athletes and the problems that arise

from transgenderism and men competing against them.

In the advertisement, the Egard Watch Company depicts a female track athlete training from a young age with the encouragement of her father.

He used to watch me run and say, ain't no woman alive that can beat you.

And I believed him.

The athlete's track and field dreams were crushed, however, when a man with long hair and a beard joined her at the starting line.

It was an unstoppable force, a life dedicated to perfection.

But even perfection wouldn't be enough.

The advertisement then flashes the headlines showing self-identified transgender athletes defeating male female competitors.

Let's see.

Then the egard watch company

says, we believe in truth.

We believe in truth.

They're saying this advertisement is a response to corporate America that has gone woke.

You're out of touch with reality.

If you're looking for a watch, buy the eGuard Watch.

E-G-A-R-D, EGARD Watch Company.

You know what?

Tweet it out.

Thank you, EGARD Watch.

All right, let me give you a couple of other good pieces of news and things that you have actually done in the last few days.

I'm going to give that to you here in just a second.

First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Greg lives in Alabama.

He turned 53 last year.

He said that age came up behind him and hit him over the head with a brick, aches and pains.

It's the old story.

Except that he isn't.

That old.

Then one day he heard me talking about Relief Factor, decided, I don't have anything to lose.

I mean, I'm going to listen to this guy's show.

So he, after a few weeks, started taking it.

Faithfully, he took it.

Aches and pains began to melt away.

He got his life back.

He no longer feels 73.

He feels 53 or hopefully even younger, Greg.

The three-week quick start is only $19.95.

It's a trial pack, not a drug, but developed by doctors.

Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more.

It's relief factor.com or call 800, the number four relief.

800 for Relief, the 1995 three-week quick start.

ReliefFactor.com or call 800, the number four relief.

Relief Factor, feel the difference.

10 seconds, station ID.

So I think it was on Tuesday's show that we had Dr.

Eric Henson on.

He is a Texas ear, nose, and throat specialist.

He refused to go along with the Texas Medical Board saying that you have to have everybody wear a mask.

And he wouldn't do it.

He's an ear, nose, and throat guy.

He knows about masks.

He knows how bad that can be.

And he also knows

that's not going to stop any infections.

So if somebody came into his office and said, hey, could you wear a mask?

I'm sure out of politeness he would, but he was not wearing it because of any any mandate.

He said it was unconstitutional, blah blah blah.

So he was

his license suspended by the Texas Medical Board.

Now, this happened in 2021.

They just suspended it like a month ago.

We found out about it.

I told you about it on Tuesday and told you you should call the Texas Medical Board

because maybe he should have his license not suspended.

You called,

and within six hours,

they sent a message to the good doctor.

And it was

this.

Hello, Dr.

Henson.

This email serves as a notice that effective immediately.

You, I'm sorry, this was not because of the Texas Medical Board.

You already reinstated that.

Forgot this part of the story.

You reinstated that.

We talked about it last week.

They got that back.

Then

what happened?

ESG, the hospital was was the one that was say where he was working, said, oh, no more privileges here.

And his insurance company said, we're not going to back you with insurance anymore.

Okay, so ESG kicked in.

They'll get you one way or another.

I told you about that on Tuesday.

And what happened?

This email serves as a notice that effectively immediately your privileges are reinstated at UTHET Jacksonville.

Department heads and the medical executive committee have already been notified.

You

got him reinstated as a doctor.

Then you turned the hospital around and got his privileges back.

Now, I don't have the name of his insurance company, but if the good doctor would like to give me the name of that insurance company, I'm sure this audience can take care of some of that as well.

You have changed.

So many things recently.

We are making big progress.

We had the Republican states, you know, smuggling central bank digital currency language into the uniform commercial code.

You've had the bill killed now in three different states.

We spoke with Chloe Cole's team.

You know who she is?

The girl that was transitioning to a boy and then realized, what have I done?

and is transitioning out.

We had her on the show.

You raised money.

We asked you if you could help her.

She used some of that money to fund the Sacramento Detransition Awareness Rally.

She flew out to Detransitioners to tell their story.

It was a huge moment in California.

Unfortunately, Antifa showed up at the rally and it turned violent.

But

the funds you sent her also paid for security.

that day.

Chloe has reached out to say thank you.

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to do this.

And thank you, Glenn Beck audience, for keeping us safe.

Do you remember the woman that was to lead the office of the comptroller of the currency?

She was a massive communist.

And she said that we should, you know, basically you know, build back better.

We should have a completely different system here.

She was dropped as a nominee because of this audience.

Because of this audience, WEF is on the ropes.

Wait until I share some stuff, some news that has happened this week on the World Economic Forum and Build Back Better and their whole plan of ESG.

Wait.

Massive news has come out this week that nobody will tell you about, but it is this audience.

Even CNN says this.

CNN, you know, they don't mean it as a compliment, but they admit that this program has mainstreamed the World Economic Forum and

ESG.

That's fantastic.

Fantastic.

Don't forget, you also killed the region smart bill.

This bill came out.

It was horrible.

It was a tri-state compact between Mississippi, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

And it just gave control, including eminent domain, to this private group.

We exposed it on this program, and you called your House and Senate in those three states, and it died.

Now,

real quick,

what do you say?

You look for this in your own state.

In my state, Texas.

The budget deliberations, the Republican-controlled Texas House voted to ban ban state dollars from funding vouchers so you could have choice in your school.

The Republican House banned money to go for vouchers.

So we started looking into it.

And you know it's weird.

There was a lot of people that voted against it that were Republicans.

Seven of these people were endorsed by the Texas State Teachers Association.

And others were former teachers, so they were in the teachers' union.

Well, we found the names of those because there's 21 different Republicans, but nine of them are coming up for re-election.

So

I'm going to tweet their names.

I'll give them to you later, probably in the hour.

I'm running out of time now.

I'll give you their names, but We need to find people that will run and primary them because these are weak, ridiculous, spineless rhinos that are in with the teachers' unions and are crushing

the idea that you could actually

not pay taxes and just have it go to things you disagree with, but you can actually get a voucher to get your school running back program.

All right, whoever your cell phone carrier is, if you're with one of the big guys, I can guarantee you they're probably not saving you any money and they're not donating to conservative causes.

You've got to get away from the big boys.

You've got to get to somebody and the somebody, the only one is Patriot Mobile.

Patriot Mobile is on the same cell towers with all the big guys.

So you're getting the same coverage.

All right.

However, you're not overpaying.

Wait until you see the difference between your bill and the bill that would be sent from Patriot Mobile.

You're going to save a lot of money.

And some of the profits that they make, they turn that around.

I mean, it's an amazing company.

They turn that around and they're investing it in things to stop the destruction of the Bill of Rights.

They are activists.

This is the way we use capitalism to stand for good things.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

I have to tell you, God works in really mysterious ways.

We were going to do a Gettysburg

restoring event.

It was called Restoring the Covenant.

And then what happened?

COVID.

And we were deep financially into it and everything else.

And that went away quickly.

And I have felt that a covenant needed to be made for years.

We are a covenant people.

And a covenant with God

is really important.

If you make a covenant with God

and you break it,

All of those blessings go away.

All of those protections go away.

Everything goes away.

And we have broken our covenant made by

many times in our country's history by our leaders.

We have to make it again and we have to beg for forgiveness.

We get it.

We know.

We know what we've done.

So I wanted to do that a few years ago.

I get a video from a woman named Donica Hudson.

And she is,

she said, I'm I'm listening to you.

I don't even remember what show it was.

I'm listening to you.

And you have to be at this event.

So I checked into it, and I'm going to be at this event next Wednesday.

And Donica is on with me now.

Hello, Donica.

How are you?

I'm great.

It's so good to be with you, Glenn.

Thank you.

So tell me what this event is.

This event is called the First Landy 1607 Declaration of Covenant.

And we are so glad and thankful that you'll be there as our keynote speaker for the Gala dinner because you do understand covenant.

God will not be mocked.

That's the most important thing of a covenant.

God will not be mocked.

Don't get into a covenant lightly with him because he'll keep his promise.

All right, so the first landing, 1607, we're talking Jamestown, right?

That's correct.

Actually, the first landing was at Cape Henry.

Okay.

And then the colonists moved.

It took two weeks and they went down the river and established Jamestown.

So a lot of people don't know.

It's not in many of the history books, surprise, surprise, that when the colonists landed on April the 29th of 1607, they planted a huge wooden cross in the sand.

They knelt.

They took communion.

And they dedicated themselves and this land to God.

This land meaning the entire continent.

And not only did they do that, Glenn, they prayed that America would be evangelist to the world and that generations to come after them would return and look at that cross and join them in this covenant.

And that's exactly what we're doing.

So where is this happening?

This is happening at Virginia Beach, Virginia, at the Delta Marriott.

It's actually near the first landing cross that's on the military base.

And we're bringing a big wooden cross to the sand there so that people can literally do what the covenant calls us to do.

Look at that cross and remember what the founders of America did when they dedicated this nation to God.

So the covenant, I've read, and

are you going to actually speak the covenant?

Are you asking people just to do it on their own?

Well, if you go to our website, you'll see that I have written a declaration of covenant.

And in that, we in unison re-covenant with the founding colonists' original words.

And I actually had that prayer in my book, Pray America Great.

And that's how I got connected to help co-found this event with the visionary, Reverend Jack Stagman.

So what we're doing is acknowledging that we are a Christian nation, that the colonists did in fact do exactly what I just outlined, and that we intend to continue to join the colonists in this covenant.

Because if we don't, it's like you said in your incredible email to me, Glenn, that I read over and over again because it was so powerful, that this is the only way that we save America.

It is.

It is.

Okay, so

is there a recognition?

Because I read

maybe

another, something else posted on the website.

I don't remember what it was, but

it was really a prayer of recognition of wow, we've screwed things up.

Please forgive us.

Exactly, exactly.

And if you go to firstlandings1607.com, you can click on the Declaration of Covenant.

It's actually a downloadable PDF so that you can actually agree with us.

We're going to be live streaming it around the world in 72 languages, real time,

thanks to CloudHub.

And we are going to allow people around the world to agree with us with this covenant.

So go ahead and register online to do that.

But yes, we do acknowledge most of the things that you broadcast and are awakening the Republic to realize is why we're in this situation that we need to remarry America to God.

You know,

if I would have said this 10 years ago,

or certainly in 1963, I would have been called a madman.

But we have not just removed God.

We have replaced God in our schools with drag queens.

That's how insane it is.

And

until we humble ourselves, recognize our role in this, and then beg for his forgiveness and renew a covenant, I don't think we save America.

Donica,

I can't wait to meet you.

I'm just so impressed by your initiative and what you've put together.

And I'm just thrilled that I can be there.

Well, thank you.

And I cannot take the sole credit for that.

We have a founding team of five that are working diligently together.

I was asked to write the Declaration of Covenant.

That's my strong suit.

We've actually just found out we're trying to get an annual day of a first landing annual day established so that the nation knows that we are a Christian nation and that this can be a building of recognition of covenant throughout the land.

We want to get it back into the schools.

And I agree with you.

Let's go there with the drag queens replacing God in the schools, you know, and how we outlaw school prayer.

You know, this, most people don't realize everything that we're doing is in the Bible.

Everything that is happening as an attack to us with drag queens and schools is

a movement of the Antichrist spirit through the global elite to strip us of our identity.

So when we actually re-covenant, we are recognizing our true identity in the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob who established covenant in this earth he our God made covenant with night and day everything that we see is by covenant how can we deny and leave him we have left our first love in America and this is an opportunity to save America by re-covenanting with him re

recognizing our identity in the God who created us and loves us and I know there are people out there listening, Glenn.

They are hurting.

They are bewildered.

They don't understand what's happening to our country.

They're going, where is God?

And he is right here.

He is right here.

We may have left him, but he has not left us.

That's the nature of covenant.

We have an opportunity to return to the God who created us.

Before he issues us a certificate of divorce, like he did in Jeremiah 3, 8 with Israel.

We have a window of time.

And I think, like you said on your incredible broadcast recently, I think it was the Tucker Carlson broadcast, that we are no longer a superpower.

We are headed to be by 2025 a police state.

I believe this is our window of time that you have so aptly outlined, that if we the people who are in covenant with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by the blood covenant of Jesus Christ, return to our first love and re-covenant with God, that we will usher in a force of covenant and history that saves America.

Donica, I can't thank you enough.

Listen, I want you to go to firstlanding 1607.com.

That's firstlanding1607.com.

If you can join us in Virginia Beach, great.

If you can't, join it online.

Get your church involved.

This covenant needs to be made everywhere in America.

We must restore our covenants with God and beg his forgiveness.

It really is, I believe, the only way

back.

We are not fighting politicians.

We're not fighting parties.

We are fighting evil.

And it's time to recognize that and call in the big guns.

Only the Lord can take care of this at this point.

But it requires work on our side, and that work is to live as a covenant people.

Donica, thank you so much.

I'll see you next Wednesday.

You bet.

Donica Hudson, Pray America, great author, First Landing 1607 project co-founder.

Again, you can find out more about this at firstlanding1607.com.

If you're in that area, I would love to see you next Wednesday in Virginia Beach.

All right, if you haven't picked up your free copy of the Tuttle Twins Learn About the Law Yet, you need to because you're missing out on an incredible learning opportunity for your kids.

Listen to what somebody wrote in who is a fan of the program.

I bought the series for my grandson.

I'm finding I want to read them too.

Even as an adult, the more I learn about our system of government and banking, the more I realize there is so much more for me to learn.

I highly recommend the Tuttle Twins books.

This is the great thing about the Tuttle Twins books is it's a launching ground for anybody who is curious.

It gets the basics out there, but you as an adult will probably learn a lot of stuff that they never taught you in school, and it will wet your appetite and you'll go deeper and deeper.

And pretty soon

you're in the thick of things.

All right, so we were telling you a little while ago about the Texas Republicans,

Republicans, that voted

against school choice.

The amendment passed a vote of 86 to 52.

24 Republicans voted in favor of blocking school choice.

Unreal.

And 10 voted present.

That's a lot of Republicans.

That's a lot of Republicans.

This is the problem with deep red states.

They know they can't win as a Democrat, and so they moderate and they what any place else what would be a Democrat is a Republican here.

Yeah, they'll go and they'll just be like, well, we can just support the crappy Republican.

We're not going to get our Democrat, but we can block certain things.

The teachers' unions have made an entire industry of this.

So here's their nine vulnerable politicians.

Seven were endorsed by the Texas State Teachers Association.

This is the cancer.

If you you see a Republican that is taking money or endorsed by the teachers' unions, stay away from them.

So let me give you, I'm going to tweet all these out.

There's Glenn Rogers.

These are the ones that we need to primary.

Glenn Rogers, Ernest Bales, Drew Darby, Kyle

Cassell, maybe.

Stan Lambert,

Angelina Orr, John Rainey, Gary Van Diever, and David Spiller.

Now, I'll tweet out with all the counties that this is, that you need to do this in your state.

Okay, you need to do this in your state.

In Texas, the 2024 House election dates, the primary is March 5th.

The primary runoff is May 28th, 2024, and then the general.

So the first primary is March 5th, 2024.

So you have less than a year.

year.

If these people represent you in the Texas House, you need to find somebody

that is die-hard,

school choice, die-hard, red.

And

make sure that you are finding constitutional candidates.

You know, it's really interesting.

There's two movements afoot here in Texas.

And one is we want to get rid of all of the rhinos.

And that's great.

The other is we want to put really good people in.

That one I think is better

because you used to have, I think, 108 people in the Republicans in the Senate.

I don't know if they would have passed this, but you had 108.

So you had a better chance.

Now I think there's like 86.

Republicans because they're cleaning house,

but they're going to Democrats.

So we need to get

really

great constitutional and even constitutional Democrats, if they exist, constitutional believers

into all of our houses and Senates.

And if you are living in a very, very, very red state, make no mistake, your state has been targeted.

Your county has been targeted.

They are trying to flip and they will corrupt the Republicans, if they're not already corrupt.

They will corrupt those Republicans with money.

And the teachers' union is the first sniff of dirt.

All right.

I like that message.

You know, it's one that I think.

is so important.

You know, we've talked about this since really, I think COVID is where it really picked up, where parents saw what their kids were being taught in public schools and decided, hey, I need to do something about this.

And it's so difficult for the average parent who's already paying taxes, already paying for public school, to then double up and try to send their kid to private school.

It's impossible.

It's impossible for most people.

And it's like, you know, that's unfair.

And it's unfair.

There's no reason for you to have to pay twice.

If you're going to pay for education, you should be able to choose where those dollars go.

And that's exactly what the school choice situation is about.

I know Texas is in the middle of it right now.

North Carolina is in the middle of it right now.

And there has been more movement on this issue than honestly I ever dreamed possible.

And I've been talking about this for 20 years.

Just the last two or three years, there's been more movement on this issue than in the previous 20.

Well, I will tell you, anyone who stands against choice is fighting on the losing side of the oldest battle

alive.

When you are fighting against an individual making the choice on I'm going to spend my money here, spend my money there,

you are not on the side that says,

Let's have people have free will.

Let me tell you about Jace Case.

Jace Case, living in the United States, 21st century.

I mean, what are we doing with drug shortages?

You know that if we go to war with

China, if we have another stoppage in China,

17 out of the 21 ingredients used to make drugs, gone.

We already are having shortages on antibiotics.

We should be empowering ourselves to take care of ourselves and our loved ones.

Go to jacemedical.com.

Look at their Jace case.

In it, you will get five different antibiotics that you can have on hand.

We gotta stand together, it's the course of the night.

Stand up, stand, and hold the light.

It's

What you're about to hear here is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to Fight Back Friday.

I want to talk to you this hour a little bit about the nonsense that is the, well, I was going to say the,

you know, save the earth earth movement, but I guess it's more of a let's fight inflation movement because that's where a lot of the dollars are coming from now.

Does any of this make any sense?

And are we, the people who I think are rational and sane, are we making any progress?

The guy who knows, the guy who has been leading this for quite some time, joins us in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about Victoria.

She's a young woman.

You saved her unborn child.

She found herself facing a challenge when she discovered she was pregnant.

Frantic internet search happened to lead her to a woman's clinic where she would decide the fate of the child growing inside of her.

Thank goodness it was a pre-born clinic.

She was shown an ultrasound.

This is the difference between if you if you just say it's a glob of cells you're likely to abort.

But if you see the ultrasound, you recognize it's a baby, you hear the heartbeat, you double the chances of choosing life.

Victoria chose life.

Now she's eagerly awaiting the arrival of her baby boy.

You did this with your donations to Pre-Born.

All they do is offer free ultrasounds.

Alex Epstein is with us now, president and founder of the Center for Industrial Progress, author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels.

He is pro-fossil fuels, anti-green agenda, and uses facts to back it all up.

How are you doing, Alex?

Good.

Good to be here.

And Stu, you're here this time.

You weren't here last time.

I know.

I missed you.

It's great to have you here.

And of course,

last time, I think I had you on Studios America talking about your new book, Fossil Future,

which is the update to Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, and a great, great book.

I mean, it's one

I go back to all the time.

It's non-stop.

I mean, you're like a god to him.

I don't know.

He's a fanboy.

Has he stalked you at any point?

Because

for years, I've been trying to create an army of him.

An overweight, out-of-shape army for

it here.

It's going to go well.

It's going to go well.

So

I have this sense that things are changing.

Things are being exposed, like the WEF and ESG.

That's been exposed now.

It's starting to be almost a joke.

And when it comes to the fossil fuel usage,

I hope that this changes a little quicker because we're entering a time where they're just going to choke us off and kick the door closed behind.

Are we making progress on this?

I think so.

I think there's enough encouraging signs that people should be even more motivated to fight.

I think it's, is it Fight Back Fridays?

Is that what they call it?

Yeah.

So, I mean, my own experience is, so I got passionate about this issue in 2007, so almost 16 years ago now.

And for most of that period, you know, from 2007 to the present, what I would call the case against fossil fuels has enjoyed a position of a moral monopoly.

So basically, if you were against fossil fuels, right, if you said,

I'm concerned about climate change, I'm against fossil fuels, you just got a halo over your head.

It was just free status.

And there was no questioning of it at all.

And then if you were at all associated with questioning climate catastrophism or let alone supporting fossil fuels, then you had devil horns.

So it's this thing where there's no debate.

And I think part of what I've helped to create and what some others have helped to create is there is increasingly a debate about this.

And I think a manifestation of this is you mentioned the World Economic Forum, and in particular, ESG.

When I started, you know, five or six years ago, I used to do consulting on messaging for businesses.

Now I just help politicians because it's more high-impact.

But ESG just took the corporate world by storm, including the oil and gas industry.

And everyone just said, oh, we love ESG.

They just always parasitically adopt the new term, which is just so dangerous.

When your enemy comes up with a new term, especially those three letters, don't start voicing those three letters, but they do that.

And it was just, nobody would question ESG.

It had a total moral monopoly.

And now look at what's happening now.

Now people have very negative associations with ESG, considerably negative associations with the World Economic Forum.

And I think also real questions about the net zero movement.

And I think it's a combination of, I think, some of the intellectual work and activist work some of us have done, but also the manifestation of a global energy crisis, including a lesser energy crisis in America.

Whenever you have a crisis, the establishment is called into question.

And so I view now as a very special educational opportunity, certainly in energy, the greatest one of my lifetime, because I was born in 1980.

The 70s energy crisis was even starting to become a memory then.

Just like inflation, people don't think it can happen if it hasn't happened recently.

Now both of those are happening and people are open to it.

Wait a second, maybe it doesn't make sense to restrict all of our reliable energy without a replacement.

Maybe it doesn't make sense to just print money endlessly.

Maybe, maybe logic is valid.

Maybe, maybe, maybe.

I think the jury's still out on that, but we'll give that point to you for now.

When you look at

how

everything

is under the umbrella of save the earth now, I don't know if you saw the story about rice

needing to go away if we're going to save the planet.

And

the grain.

Rice, the grain.

Okay.

Okay.

Feeds, what, I don't know, probably half the world.

What's it going to be replaced with?

Well, they certainly not meat.

No, they don't.

Yeah, no, they don't have that part of it.

They're just talking about getting rid of rice.

Why would you worry about they'll come up?

Scientists are working on something to replace rice, I'm sure.

It's got to be bugs, right?

We got to get to bugs eventually.

What's the path to eating bugs?

So when I look at this and I look at the people involved, I mean, you have said forever, a moral case for fossil fuels, because

millions will die.

Millions will die if we just abandon power, electricity.

We're also now having these zealots take on our foods, meat, rice.

This is immoral.

Rice feeds.

How many people will starve without rice?

I think rice is a great example.

So I want to, since it's about to be Earth Day and I'm here in town for this event called Earth X, which is traditionally, I think, an event for environmental catastrophists.

But I was invited because former Governor Rick Perry wanted to have me here, I guess, as a counter.

And so he's invited me and then the Texas state climatologist.

We're going to be on the stage together, which will be very interesting.

It's going to be great.

So yeah, yeah, we're hoping to get a really good idea.

You need to borrow a bulletproof vest.

I guess we haven't had any scares yet.

Let's hope.

Don't get any ideas anyway.

And so it's Earth Day.

So I want to ask kind of a question, which I think is maybe the most clarifying question when it comes to how people look at Earth.

And it's very simple, but I think it explains how people could possibly be anti-rice in the name of the Earth.

So the question is, what is your goal with respect to Earth?

Is it one, to advance human flourishing on Earth?

Or two, is it to eliminate human impact on Earth?

And I think the anti-rice goal is eliminating human impact on Earth.

Correct.

It's mouthful.

Because an Earth, from a human perspective, an Earth with rice is a better Earth.

Right.

Right.

And an earth with fossil fuels is a better earth.

And so that's my perspective.

You know, I have a pro-human environmental philosophy, and I think that's the root of all of this.

What is your stance on fossil fuels being fossil fuels or just some natural thing that, I mean, apparently it's bubbling up from the ocean floor all the time.

It's part of nature.

Yeah, I think it's mostly, I mean, it's more of a question for gas, but I think it's mostly ancient biological matter.

I mean, this stuff can naturally occur.

You see that on Saturn, like hydrocarbons, which are, you know, that's what fossil fuels are.

They can naturally occur.

But if you look at, and this is not my area of expertise, but if you look at how, like, how people explore for oil, like they're geologists who study the history of life.

So the vast majority of people I know who are actually finding this stuff definitely believe in what's called the biogenic theory.

And wouldn't that be just the perfect way for a self-sustaining ecosystem to work?

That it would take stuff that has died and

is being regenerated into something else that is useful.

Well, I mean, the criticism would be, I think it's a good point.

The criticism is, oh, we're taking it at a faster rate.

So we're burning the stuff at a faster rate than it decomposed.

Now, from a certain perspective, why, and from my perspective, like, why do I care about that?

Because we don't use the stuff forever.

We use the stuff and we discover better things like nuclear.

So we've got more than 10 times more, quote, fossil fuel underground than we've used in the whole history of civilization.

We're not running out of it.

We're running out of the freedom to harness it.

That's what's

what's scary.

So

yeah, it's it's a great thing.

Another perspective that's even more controversial is, well, in a sense, we're returning the CO2 to the atmosphere because we had very high CO2 that was absorbed, you know, by like a lot of marine organisms.

We're returning it to the atmosphere.

Isn't that more, quote, natural?

So it's interesting that they hate anything that's impacted by humans, even if we're making it more like it used to be.

Correct.

When you look at

the road we're on, especially this push from Biden and the World Economic Forum

to get all cars to be batteries, I mean, the whole thing falls apart when you just start to take it logically.

Do we have the transmission lines to be able to put all of wherever you're getting it from.

Let's say, you know, ancient space monkeys come down and teach us how to make more electricity.

We don't have the power lines to distribute this kind of stuff that fast, do we?

Certainly not now.

I mean, I just think of it as it's very valuable, I think, just to return to basic principles.

And the basic principles of, you know, a free economy is what do we do?

If you have a good idea, you are free to offer it to the market and and see how it goes.

It is not a good idea to try to make 67% of new U.S.

vehicles electric by the year 2032 for a million different reasons, which is why it's not even close to happening.

We have 6% adoption with massive government subsidies.

People don't want these things.

And the basic reasons are they're not as cost-effective for the typical person.

And we have a decline in the availability of reliable electricity.

And

why would you have a massive increase in demand?

Correct.

But you have car companies that are going out of the combustion engine.

I mean,

it's one of these situations where there's if everyone else is doing it, it can't be that bad.

It's just people really think, oh, if the government is behind it, if Joe Biden's word is behind it, it must work.

Like some politicians just think they're just magical.

Like

they can just say words.

And then those words will just come true.

So they can just say, oh, yeah, by 20.

But look at Newsom, right?

I mean, five days after he announced no more internal combustion engine vehicles in 2035, he had to tell us as residents of California, don't charge your EV.

And by the way, don't use your air conditioning during a heat wave.

This is with a few percent EV penetration.

And they're talking about making it close to 100%.

So what's happening is the worst crackpot ideas are being dictated.

This is why we don't want anyone's ideas dictated, even smart people's.

What's the problem is these people aren't only dumb, but they're anti-human at the core.

They're against energy, right?

They're against, you see them being against rice.

They're against really what they're against is human impact.

So it's the combination of the evil of government, quote, planning, which is just government dictating, combined with an anti-human motive.

At least the communists had a semi-anti-human motive, had a semi-pro-human motive.

But the greens, their core motive is eliminating human impact from Earth.

So you don't want people dictating you to hurt yourself.

It really is fascinating.

Now they say, look, we've got a, they're saying it is a pro-human outlook.

They're saying there's a catastrophe around the corner.

We have to stop it.

We have not been thinking about these things for too long and now we have to do something about it.

So yeah, you know, EVs might be more expensive and they might have some costs up front, but that's why we need the government to step in and

take the reins.

I mean, there's a lot to take apart there, but let's just take the idea of, okay, we have a looming catastrophe.

So I have a very simple rule that will rule out 85% of people's predictions, which is I only accept predictions about the future from people who accurately portray the present.

So if they acknowledge, that's a good role.

That's real.

If they acknowledge, hey, you know what?

Human beings are currently in a climate renaissance as in we're far safer from climate-related disasters than ever.

The average person is 150th as likely to die from a climate-related disaster because the rate of death has gone down 98% in the last hundred years.

If they said it's amazing now, and so we've had one degree of warming, the Earth is much more livable than it used to be.

It's also greener.

Life is better mostly because of all the energy that came with the fossil fuels, but there's a looming disaster for XYZ reason.

I would listen.

But they say, no, no, the climate is terrible today.

It's never been worse.

And then they give anecdotes of this person died, this person died, making you think that the death rate is higher.

Why would I trust them to predict the future if they can't predict the present?

Either there's only two possibilities.

Oh, not of trusting them, but they're only doing it because one, they are ignorant.

Or two, they have a different goal.

And this goes back to is their goal to advance human flourishing on Earth or is it to eliminate human impact on Earth?

See, I think the elites have a very anti-human view.

I mean, everything that is being done now across the board is

to enslave or to kill humans.

You know what I mean?

Tell them exactly what to do every second of the day.

You're going to have to walk if you live in this area.

There's no cars for you.

Your car can only drive so far.

That's crazy.

And I think they have a real Malthusian attitude.

And I think the majority of the people who are just lapdog followers are ignorant of the real facts.

Yeah, I mean, I think Malthusian is actually charitable to them.

Well, it's an aspect of it.

It's an aspect of it.

It's what I call the parasite polluter view of human beings.

So this is the view that Earth is what I call a delicate nurturer.

So it's stable, sufficient.

It gives us enough as long as we're not too greedy and it's safe.

And then human beings are parasite polluters and our impact ruins it.

Yeah.

So there's that aspect of running out of resources, but there's also this idea of like everything we do ruins Earth.

And at the core, that's obviously not true.

Like we make water clean.

Nature doesn't just have Evian and Perrier flowing all over the place and we ruin it.

Like we make clean water, right?

We make the air a lot cleaner than it was when we used wood.

Like we make our environment unnaturally clean and safe.

So you can't not know that.

So I think it's really a belief that human impact is evil.

But notice they don't think bear impact is evil, beaver impact is evil.

So it's a distinctly anti-human view.

That's why I call it human racism, because it's the view that the human race is particularly evil, that our impact is evil and the rest of nature's impact is good.

And this is a mainstream view.

It goes by green.

Green means minimize or eliminate human impact.

It's an uncontroversial idea.

So this is how far we are against in terms of hating our species and our nature right now.

That is incredible.

So, Alex, I feel like they don't normally let you on stage with climatologists to debate.

Is that what this is?

Is this a debate that you're participating in while you're here?

It's not a debate.

It's a discussion.

Hopefully, it's a lively discussion.

Oh, I think it will be.

When you get in these moments, because you've had some high-profile back and forth with

climatologists and scientists talking about this stuff,

they say that you're not even allowed to participate in these debates because

you're no scientist.

You're not an expert, but you are an expert.

How do you deal with that?

approach, which basically tries to eliminate this entire perspective from the conversation.

You're just not an expert that they have deemed an expert.

That's the deal.

I mean, so the you're not a scientist type thing is really revealing because what we're dealing with are policy questions, right?

The question is what to do.

And that always has a moral component.

So policy questions always have value.

So they're never fully resolved by a factual one discipline.

They're also always interdisciplinary.

So energy questions, when energy impacts climate, obviously energy expertise is relevant.

And that's what I have primarily.

I know quite a bit about climate.

Most of these climate guys know nothing about energy.

I certainly know infinitely more about climate than they know about energy.

But it just shows that the only focus with fossil fuels and climate is what are the negative climate effects of fossil fuels.

And this is where I think as a philosopher, I really have the expertise because they're looking, again, this question of is your goal to advance human flourishing on Earth or eliminate a human impact on Earth?

They're looking at the issue of fossil fuels from the perspective of our goal is to eliminate impact.

So all they can think about is, oh, we're impacting the climate and that's bad and we should repent and we should sell.

They don't look at the benefits.

but from a human flourishing perspective you look at fossil fuels and you look at how much better have they made the earth including how much safer are we from climate due to things like irrigation and heating and cooling and sturdy buildings and i i do think this is um i think stu you mentioned my book fossil future i think this is really the distinctive thing about fossil future is it's the only book that looks fully at our energy choices from a purely human flourishing perspective and what people are shocked by is how different that is how differently you look at the same thing this you know the coal and oil and gas, when you look at it and the earth from a human-flourishing perspective, it just totally changes your mind.

You look at it, oh my gosh, I'm so glad these guys figured out how to turn the glop into human life.

It's made the earth better.

Not, it should have stayed underground and we should have stayed savages.

And if we don't educate ourselves, we are going to end up figuring that out, not from a book, but from real life,

as we're cold, dark, and hungry.

Alex, thank you so much.

God bless.

Thanks for having me, guys.

The Glenn Beck program.

We cannot lose hold of the past.

You know that, I know that.

We've got a whole new generation of young people who don't know about the past, and they're not learning about it in school.

There is one thing that this one group, Tunnel to Towers, focuses on, is 9-11.

What happened on 9-11?

The impact of 9-11 is still being felt today.

Everything changed because 9-11.

Only two states mandate learning about it in school.

This is why Tunnelled Towers, the 9-11 Institute, is giving educators access to non-fiction 9-11 resources for K-12 learning.

This includes full curriculum units built around first-person accounts, scripted social studies lessons, activities, backgrounds for teachers, as well as non-fiction Discovering Heroes series of books and their curriculum units.

They also have an 1,100-square-foot interactive museum that's on the road all the time.

Never Forget means Educate Future Generations.

How did we get there?

Help tunnel the towers, educate kids.

Just donate, if you can, $11 a month at t2t.org, t the number2t.org.

You can get Alex's book, Fossil Future, available at Barnes Noble's, a great place to get it.

So the latest in Hunter Biden story is a really big deal

and really going to change the game,

I think, on the Hunter.

Oh, yeah.

What?

Well,

let me clarify here.

Is it a really big deal

because it's true and it's going to give us incredible new information about Hunter Biden, or

because that's boring, or

is it a really big deal that's actually going to make a difference?

Because I feel like I'm promised this all the time.

I know, I know, I know.

It never works.

So, here's what I.

This reveals

how corrupt everything in Washington is.

So

it will mean nothing unless

you start cleaning up the corruption because this is just roping in everybody.

And the testimony that is coming in, done by the

House, is stunning.

So there's a new whistleblower.

Now, Hunter Biden got a new high-powered legal team, and he brought a war room together.

The guy, David Brock, I think, didn't he go over to the war room?

A lot of the people from Media Matters, et cetera, et cetera.

And this legal team

and this really aggressive public relations team put out on the New York Times, the Justice Department, in the person of a U.S.

attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, was moving toward letting Hunter Biden off easy.

The New York Times said, Mr.

Weiss, and people familiar with the investigation say it appears to be focused on a less politically explosive set of possible charges stemming from Hunter Biden's failure to meet filing deadlines for his taxes and questions about whether he falsely claimed at least $30,000 in deductions for business expenses.

So this would have been nothing, nothing.

Okay, slap on the wrist.

Now there's a new story that is out, and it came out this week on why this is taking so long and what is really going on.

And it comes from a high-level whistleblower at the IRS.

He's been working with the Justice Department on the Honda Biden investigation.

He is a career IRS criminal supervisory special agent.

He's retained a letter,

he's retained a lawyer and written a letter to Congress claiming the Biden administration is interfering with the investigation into the president's son.

The anonymous special agent sent the letter and said, Look,

I am not going to reveal who I am.

I'm not going to reveal all of the facts unless you promise my safety.

Okay?

That's kind of interesting.

He said, I need to have the appropriate legal protections

and that

I will only do it if I can be secure.

Okay.

So what is he saying?

So what he's saying is really,

I think, game-changing.

He is saying

that the, let me go to Merrick Garland,

because Merrick Garland is at the heart of the whistleblower's claim.

When the Attorney General was

sworn in,

he said, you know, look, I'm staying way away from this.

There's no preferential treatment at all.

Okay.

The longtime IRS employee wants to provide information to congressional leaders to contradict the sworn testimony to Congress.

by Garland, okay, that he is receiving preferential treatment.

Garland said there's no interference, nothing.

I have nothing to do with it.

The guy

is

the guy is the supervisor of the investigation.

We put the guy in Delaware, we put him in charge of it.

He's a Trump appointee.

He's from the previous administration.

He's the U.S.

Attorney for the District of Delaware.

I've met him as the Attorney General.

He's committed to the independence, and we have nothing to do with it.

So, what's happening is they are dismissing at the IRS all the things that the whistleblower said.

These are clear, huge crimes, and we would be pursuing them all the time.

But

the

Attorney General or the District Attorney there in Delaware is dismissing them, and he's saying it's because of Merritt Garland, that Merritt Garland is putting a rope around things and saying, no,

you don't need that.

But he's doing it in such a way to where Weiss

is just not asking for stuff.

And the R.S.

is like, ah, what about this?

No, we don't need that.

And then Merritt Garland can say, well, he didn't want it, so it must not have been important.

So Merrick Garland is dirty in this thing, and listen to who else it ropes in.

Another official testified this week.

This guy's from the CIA.

He's the guy who helped write and sign the

2020

Biden laptop letter from all the, you know,

former Intel people.

He's the guy who did it.

He says, now Mike Morrell, former acting CIA director under President Barack Obama,

said in a transcribed interview with the congressional investigators that before his October 17th phone call with Anthony Blinken,

he had no intention of writing the October 19th Hunter Biden laptop letter.

He testified yes and absolutely when he asked if the call with Blinken, who was then the top advisor for Joe Biden's campaign, is what triggered that intent in you.

So he gets onto a phone with Blinken.

He's not going to write anything about it.

He hangs up and he writes the letter.

Was it Blinken's phone call that made you write the letter?

Yes.

He also testified that one of the two reasons he helped put the letter together was to help Joe Biden defeat Donald Trump.

So now we have pretty much a hostile witness here, guy who used to work for Obama, testifying that Anthony Blinken, who's now our Secretary of State,

had that written, and Merrick Garland is

putting ropes around what you can investigate and what you can't investigate.

Fascinating.

So this, when you say, is this going to lead to something?

I don't know

because it's not just about Hunter and Joe Biden now.

Now, this is about the people at the IRS that this guy is whistleblowing on.

It's about Anthony Blinken.

It is about Merrick Garland.

It's about the president.

And who knows who else was involved in this?

I've never,

in my lifetime,

yeah,

I have never seen

our American government this corrupt.

You know why people aren't going to jail when they testify falsely to Congress?

Because Congress can only refer it to the Justice Department.

They can only say, this guy is contempt of Congress.

He lied under oath.

Then they refer that to the Justice Department, and the Justice Department has to decide: do we hold them and put them in jail?

Do we try them for that or not?

Congress can only refer them.

So you could get in front of Congress and lie your butt off

if you have control of the Justice Department.

How are you going to nail Merrick Garland?

I mean, you better make sure that you maintain control of the Justice Department.

That's key to that little game.

But yeah,

it gives you a huge line of defense.

And then afterward, you can just claim, oh, well, they're just coming after me because of politics.

So it does, this is why I'm skeptical that these things ever lead to anything.

The good thing is, just like there's always some left-wing nutjob who is trying to, you know, take out every prominent conservative, there are people who are moderates and conservatives throughout the government who are seeing the abuses here and and are not going to stand up for them.

Now, whether their whistleblowing turns into something,

it's fair to be able to do that.

If you are looking at, I mean, this is a movie.

This is a movie.

You're looking at the cover-up.

What are these people willing to do?

I mean, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, they knew they could get away with it because they were going to, they had their cronies.

at the heads of the government.

And they know once dad's either dead or out of office,

nobody's going to bring this up.

He just has to make it through his terms in office, and then nobody will bring it up, and it'll just go away.

That can't happen this time.

That cannot happen.

We have to know the truth, and somebody has to pay the price.

You can't just whitewash Merrick Garland.

I mean, I was reading some of this stuff today, and I thought, that guy almost was Supreme Court Justice.

You know, I didn't know anything about him.

I thought, okay, well, maybe I don't know.

Another liberal, another liberal judge.

All right.

I thought he was just a liberal judge.

No, this guy, I think, is corrupt to the core.

I think, too, part of it, he's that way even more now because he's been convinced, like everyone else on the left, that Republicans stole that seat on the Supreme Court, which is a completely ridiculous thing.

And it shows his character.

Yeah.

I mean, it's easy to be, it's easy to have, you know, decent

character when everything's going your way.

When you start to have pushback, what's your character?

Yeah.

And that's an insane telling of that story.

Republicans had control of the Senate.

Even if they got a vote, he wouldn't have got through.

But beyond that, though, and this goes all the way to the top, we always talk about the Bidens, but Anthony Blinken, which, by the way, no H, not Anthony.

Yeah, sorry.

Anthony Blinken

is

the Secretary of State.

I know.

I mean, these are people that were manipulating the certainly at the very least, the politics surrounding the election.

And not only that, he's the guy, the State Department was the one that directed the Pentagon on how to evacuate people in Afghanistan.

It wasn't just the Pentagon.

For the very first time, it was the State Department, and he was in charge of it.

He also, did you notice when they were talking about sending all the money over to Ukraine?

It's going through Antney

and the State Department.

All of this corruption that stems really around Ukraine for a decade.

All the same people are involved, all the same people are traveling back and forth, and all the people who seem to also be connected now to a Hunter Biden scandal,

they're all in the pipeline of money going all around the world.

And Anthony Blinken is a legit Biden guy.

Like, this is the type of guy that was, you know, when the Obama administration was filled with people who thought Obama was God and were sort of embarrassed by Biden.

That's not Anthony.

Anthony Blinken's a dedicated Biden guy.

And you wonder why there's not turnover at some of these positions.

They all know this stuff.

They all know what they've done.

You can't fire people like Anthony Blinken because he's been running interference and burying bodies.

You know, of course, we're talking figuratively here, all over the place for the past 30 years.

These people,

you can't fire them no matter how bad you think things are going.

They don't stay around forever.

I don't think they think it's going poorly.

But I mean,

if you've got the crew that is willing to bury bodies and willing to deal corruptly, why would you fire them?

You want somebody who's not in your inner circle?

No.

They might catch on to something.

He said, I've been taking Relief Factor twice a day for three months now.

I've noticed a huge difference in my overall pain level.

I had knee, back, and feet pain for quite a few years.

Now all of it is gone, and I feel great.

Thank you, Relief Factor.

Nick, thank you.

I'm glad you decided to give it a try and finally get out of pain.

There's a three-week quick start that was developed by doctors for you.

Just try it for three weeks.

They feel that if they're the three-week quick start, if you're not feeling any results, it's not going to work for you.

But 70% of the people go on to order more.

So they'll give you the three-week trial, $19.95,

and test it out.

Try it.

It's worth it.

Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're really glad that you're here.

We're talking about how the left tries to erase history and adjust it and manipulate it.

And they do this all the time.

And

I was reading the announcement for RFK Jr.'s presidential story.

I think it it was in the New York Times.

And they're now, no, because think of

the string of events here, right?

The anti-vax movement, right, was always something that was at some level somewhat bipartisan, right?

Like it wasn't, but it was, I would say, leaned left.

Yes.

And it was small.

It was, yeah, small.

You know, I go back to this article, which I think is hilarious, which is 10 anti-vaccine celebs.

This is from the New York Post, 2015.

Who are the 10 people that are famous?

Jenny McCarthy, left.

And RFK Jr.

Alicia Silverstone, left.

Bill Maher, who's kind of now anti-woke, but still left.

Miami Bialik, Jim Carrey.

These are all left-wing figures.

There's really only one right-wing figure in the entire list, which is hilarious.

His name?

Donald Trump.

That's how the 2015.

Now he's Mr.

Operation Warp Speed.

This whole thing, again, this is a weird issue.

It's not a normal left-right issue.

But

Robert F.

Kennedy Jr., who has been a left-wing lunatic his entire life, a person who literally accused Glenn Beck of treason and

implied that he should be executed.

This person is now being promoted in the New York Times because they've now turned on him from a hard left-wing global warming guy into a...

Now they don't like him.

So now he is being portrayed as a, now he's turned into a guy who's pushing for individual liberty.

That is how they're describing in the pages of the New York Times as a proponent of individual liberty.

A guy who wants to control every aspect of your life except their vaccines.

Every other aspect of his life of your life he wants to control, but he's a proponent of individual liberty now.

I can't wait to tell you about it in 60 seconds.

I want you to listen up if you are thinking about buying or selling a home.

You need a great real estate agent.

you need somebody that you can trust knows your sensibilities and puts you in the right neighborhood with the right schools and everything else.

Well, we have that real estate agent that is going to get the best price for a new home and get the best price for your home that you're selling.

Moving is not fun, but when you have a good, no, when you have a great agent at your side, a lot of the pressure goes away.

Justin Haskins is on with us.

He is the Heartland Institute Socialism Research Center director, probably more famous as the co-author with his unbelievable, talented, good-looking sidekick.

who is also the co-author of that book called The Great Reset and an upcoming book called Dark Future.

Justin, welcome.

Good morning.

Good morning, Glenn.

You know, I love the idea of you being my sidekick.

Damn.

I'm going to, I'm going to put that.

I'm going to plast it on everywhere.

I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for these kids in their mystery van.

You've always been your own worst enemy.

I know.

So, Justin,

I got this news.

I've been saving it for Friday on the program.

I got this news late, I think, Wednesday, and it took everything in me to keep it quiet yesterday.

This is huge.

What happened in Florida?

Yeah, Florida is,

it is essentially a done deal in Florida.

They are going to pass the most comprehensive, toughest, most important anti-ESG social credit scoring bill that we have ever seen, probably anywhere in the entire world.

This is the toughest thing.

For the past year and a half or so, many of us have been fighting in two dozen states.

You've been covering it on your show, trying to get a really solid ESG bill passed.

There's been some progress made in a lot of places.

They have put some legislation into place, but nothing that

goes so far as to protect the individual from ESG.

They usually have to do with investments, state investments, state contracts, things like that.

But this is the first time that a state is on the verge of passing a bill that will protect individuals from banks and other financial institutions using ESG and social credit scores to discriminate against people, to try to force the entire economy to transform along the great reset lines.

This is a huge part of what the great reset is.

You and I did not think that what we're seeing in Florida right now would happen.

No, I mean, anytime soon.

Yeah, hang on just a second.

Um, two years ago, when we first released uh The Great Reset, I remember looking at you and you looking at me, and we're like, is anybody even going to care or read this book?

And we wrote it with that knowledge that maybe nobody will read it, but it was so important for everybody to understand.

Look at, I mean, ESG and the WEF, they are on the ropes.

And

it's in good part due to this audience reading and spreading the word about this book.

It's crazy what's happened.

Yes, without a doubt.

I remember having those meetings in your office.

I remember you telling me over and over and over again, Justin, we have to find hope.

We've got to provide hope.

And I said, Glenn, there is no hope.

I'll never forget you saying that.

It's all over.

And you're saying, no, no, we have to find a way.

We have to find a way.

And I remember saying to you, Glenn, it's too far away.

We'll come up with something.

But you do realize we're screwed, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, we are.

And I said, yes.

I said, yes, I know, but we've got to hold out because both of us knew how far along this was.

And if you don't act quickly, it's over.

And it is being beaten back.

And a month ago, I would have never thought that Florida or any state would have passed something this strong.

I mean, it covers all of the bases that we have been preaching about, traveling the country, talking about.

I mean, it's an incredible bill.

It makes Florida the safest state, if it passes, the safest state against the WEF

and

safest government

probably in the world.

Yes, without a doubt.

The bill is incredible.

State Representative Bob Rommel and State Senator Aaron Grawl deserve tons of credit.

Of course, Ron DeSantis, who has already said that he's going to sign the bill, the bill has been passed by the House and passed by the Senate.

So there's no reason to believe this isn't going to be signed any day now by Ron DeSantis, who has been an absolute champion warrior for this bill and an anti-ESG

warrior nationally now.

He's becoming a national figure for this.

And of course the House leadership, the Senate leadership, all behind this as well.

And that's the difference.

See, we've seen this introduced in numerous other states, but in every other state where something like this has been introduced, it's been killed by by establishment Republicans, by bank lobbyists, by corrupt organizations, some of which claim to be conservative.

These are the people who have been killing these bills all across the country, including in deep, deep red states like Idaho and Kansas and other places, but in Florida, because they had leadership behind it from the very beginning, with Ron DeSantis and with Paul Renner, the House Speaker, and

Catherine Pasadomo.

I mean, these people, Kathleen Pasadomo, I mean, these people

are the heroes of this.

And I also think there's a lot of people out there who think, well, I don't live in Florida, so this doesn't matter to me.

Maybe.

It does.

Yeah, this is going to change the entire landscape of this fight.

Everywhere else, it's going to be easier to pass this legislation.

And the people who have been working on the ground on this nationwide, like Eddie Grandi and Audrey Decker at Pro Family Legislative Network, these people are heroes.

Heroes.

Heroes.

This is going to change the entire fight against the Great Reset going forward.

So the Democrats said a couple of things.

Senator Jason Piso said the bill is absolutely laughable.

It shows that we are are not a business-friendly state.

Democratic Senator Tina Scott-Polski said, socialism is a state of control of production, distribution, and change of goods and services.

I will vote for capitalism, and that's why I vote no on this bill.

This is incredible the way they have turned where you have Democrats claiming that they are pro-business

by stopping anything to stop ESG and how many Republicans and conservatives buy into it.

It's nuts.

It's absolutely nuts.

The idea that this is, that ESG, that social credit score is that collusion amongst all these massive corporations and banks all over the world, all going flying off to Davos, colluding about how they're going to fundamentally transform our entire economy.

The idea that that is somehow free market economics when they don't give a crap about what the average consumer wants, they're not listening to supply and demand, they're not following any of the normal rules or laws of economics, and yet somehow this is supposed to be about protecting the free market, give me a break.

That is a total, total joke.

The only reason anyone on the left wants this is because it is a mechanism for controlling society, which many people on the left love.

And the only reason some establishment Republicans, I think, have been so hesitant to go in this direction is either because they don't understand it, if we're going to give them the benefit of the doubt, or because, frankly, they're croniest, they're corrupt, they're in with big business interests and want big kind of control.

And big banks.

Let me show you an example.

I don't know if you've heard this news, but we had Dr.

Eric Henson on a couple of weeks ago.

Texas Medical Board suspended his medical license because he didn't obey the mask mandate in 2021.

So just a few months ago, they suspend him as a doctor for something that happened in 2021, and he was right on.

And so they suspend him.

He loses his license and he comes on the show.

We tell, call the Texas Medical Board and say, enough is enough here.

And they did.

Like the next day, they granted his license.

Then we found out the day after that the hospital that he had privileges at and the insurance company that he had both dropped him so good luck with your medical uh your medical license you can't use it okay that's esg so we went on the air to uh tuesday or wednesday and i said uh you got to call the hospital got to call the hospital and people called within six hours he was reinstated at that hospital.

The only one that's going to be tough the insurance company.

And that is the biggest partner.

The banks and the insurance companies are the biggest hammers to fall.

If he was living in Florida under this new bill, he wouldn't have a problem.

It'd be much harder for any of this kind of thing to happen.

And for every story like that that you hear.

See, not every person who's discriminated against gets their story featured by Glenn Beck on the radio and hundreds or thousands of people calling demanding that their employer reinstate them.

That doesn't usually happen.

In 99% of the cases or more than that, you never even hear about it.

And that's why you need laws on the books to protect people.

And if you don't have fair access law like they now have in Florida, which conservatives have been fighting against,

you don't even know.

You become a conspiracy theorist because you're like, wait a minute, the medical board, then the hospital, hospital, and then the insurance company, they all cancel me and they cancel me after I'm reinstated.

Not when I lose my medical license, but I'm reinstated.

And that's when they tell me, well, if you don't have fair access, you can't prove it because they don't have to answer any questions.

That's the problem.

Well, the reason that you and I were so concerned about the great reset when we first started learning about it, even before we were really vocal about about what it was fully explaining to the audience what's going on, is because we understood how deep the collusion was.

And we thought a lot of people just wouldn't believe it because it seemed so unbelievable how much coordination and how much collusion and how much corruption was going on and how much money had been poured into this system where they're all coordinating on these issues like

vaccine mandates or whatever the issue is.

Violencing conservatives on social media.

It doesn't matter.

Whatever they decide to be the issue, they're all coordinating, and that's why Davos matters.

That's why the World Economic Forum matters.

That's why the Great Reset matters.

And it matters why Joe Biden and all of these people are in these vast public-private partnerships with these major corporations.

It's not because the World Economic Forum actually has political power in and of itself.

It's because it's about coordinating all these institutions all over the world working hand in hand in lockstep to take away your freedoms and to advance their cause.

And I truly believe there are big companies.

I think Budweiser is one of them.

Look, Budweiser, owned by, you know, Augie Bush,

they're conservatives.

And

do you really think they wanted to release that?

You know, I don't buy their cock and bull story that, oh, it was just some low-level.

No, it wasn't.

That's the job of that individual to get you a higher CEI score.

And the only way you can get this score is if you are using your advertising to support and grow LGBTQ2 Plus

knowledge.

So you've got to take your money.

It just says, hey, no, we have a fair workspace.

You have to take your money and do something like Budweiser did.

Well, it's suicidal.

And I don't think they want to do it, you know, at least at the corporate level, the highest levels.

But they did it because if they don't, they get a bad score on CEI and nobody does business with them.

Right.

And there's a ton of examples of that sort of thing happening.

You have fossil fuel companies like ExxonMobil throwing members of the board out of the door because they're not willing to phase out fossil fuels.

It's a fossil fuel company.

Why would they ever do that?

Because that's how the great reset works.

Everybody knows who's involved with this, that you have to go along.

You have to chase the money.

You have to go where the black rocks of the world are going and the other big institutional investors and the banks.

Because if all the banks and all the black rocks of the world and State Street Global Advisors and all those people are moving in one direction together as a group and you go against them, you will be destroyed.

It's racketeers.

We know this because they've said this numerous times publicly.

Yeah, it is.

It's racketeering at the highest levels I think ever seen on earth.

All right, hang on, because we have some other, I think, good news, but I'll believe it when the ink is dry from California in 60 seconds.

You've heard the phrase, happy wife, happy life.

Okay.

The biggest

fund

of them all

is the California Public Employees Retirement Fund.

Am I wrong on that?

No, I think that's right.

Yeah.

CalPERS.

Yeah, CalPERS.

One of the biggest ones for sure.

Yeah.

And as they go,

so goes usually every other state.

Okay.

Calipers

has, the Board of Administration

had a meeting and the board members voted to formally oppose Senate Bill 252, legislation that would require divestment from fossil fuel companies.

They voted against it.

By a vote of 7 to 1, the board agreed with a staff recommendation to oppose the bill.

They said that it will hurt their investments because they can't invest in fossil fuel companies.

It would require both pension funds to divest existing fossil fuel company investments on or before July 1, 2030.

And it would require both Calipers and Cal Sturz, beginning on February 1, 2025, every year going forward to report to the governor and the legislature the status of any fossil fuel company holdings and divestments.

This is massive.

Yeah, this is a huge, huge deal.

CalPERS is probably, as you said, the biggest pension fund in America.

They have a,

you know, we're talking about controlling huge, huge amounts of money and stock, and they throw what their weight really does matter and in a lot of ways a lot of the left-wing states kind of follow what calpers does because if they're not doing it then you're probably not going to see it in other states as well so and and and not only for that it's like if i knew exactly what warren buffett was going to do with their investment money you know and and this is nine point four billion dollars you kind of follow if they're not in You know, should I put my money with them or over here?

What do they know that I don't know?

Yeah, there's no doubt about that.

And what we've seen over and over and over again is when the issue of ESG funds and divestment in fossil fuels and other things has been studied at length, the research is overwhelming.

Those funds do much worse.

You do not get a good return on your investment when you throw out fossil fuels, when you go all in on ESG.

We've seen this with whole nations having issues like Sri Lanka.

We've seen pension funds and companies and other things, people losing money, especially compared to the returns that you're getting in

other kinds of better performing funds.

So

there's no doubt whatsoever

that CalPERS would be better off going in the other direction.

What's surprising is that they're so ideologically aligned with far left-wing goals.

You would think that they wouldn't pull a move like this.

But the thing you have to understand about the ESG movement, and you know this, is that a lot of it is just they want to control and manipulate society when they feel like it, but they still want to make a lot of money on the side too.

Yep.

So if something's going on where they look at it and they say, you know what, I don't think we're going to make money on this.

I think this is actually going to be bad for us.

Then yeah, then the ESG stuff goes out the window.

Thank you so much, Justin.

I love talking to you.

Great news on Fight Back Friday.

We are in exactly the same boat, Cindy.

Rough Greens isn't a dog food.

It's a supplement you sprinkle on the food full of vitamins and minerals, probiotics and antioxidants.

It is basically salt and ketchup on French fries.

If salt and ketchup were the healthy part of French fries,

your dog, it makes your dog love it.

By the way, did you hear about the Texas CEO of the Texas school funds?

It's kind of like Calipers, except it's Texas,

and he watches over some of the assets.

And

he decided that he was going to vote

and invest all of the Texas money into ESG funds

that did not

put any money into fossil fuels,

which the state of Texas kind of doesn't like.

Really?

Yeah.

I mean, they passed a law.

You can't do that.

Okay.

No Texas state funds are to go into any of those funds.

They were one of the first to pass that part of the ESG, anti-ESG movement.

Yeah, he's no longer employed.

Somehow or another, I guess he thought he could get away with it.

mean laws it really are optional aren't they well for some people for some people if you're the right person yeah you know you don't need to really stick to all of them amen brother amen

um by the way have you do you watch ted lasso

no i started it when it first came out and i got through a couple of episodes and it was okay but i i didn't see the

It was really a phenomenon, and I never got to that level.

How many episodes did you watch?

I want to say two.

I have a theory.

Okay.

The theory is you have to watch three episodes of any show before you can judge.

Because I've watched some shows where I'm like, okay.

All right.

And then you watch a second episode.

Okay.

By the third episode,

you should be locked into it.

You should be locked into it.

By the end of the third episode.

So you got to go back and watch it.

It's like the Relief Factor two-week quick start.

It is.

To see if it works for you.

You got to give it more than one episode.

Okay, that's that's fair.

Yeah, because I think I had that experience with Breaking Bad.

I remember watching the first couple episodes.

I'm like, this is all right.

I don't know

what the whole, you know, why is everyone making such a big deal about it, though?

And then by about episode three, I was locked in.

You know, it's crazy is when you watch Ted Lasso,

you walk away

actually feeling good.

You're like, oh, that's a good show, and they're good people and everything else.

It's not as raunchy, but it would have never been on television.

It would have never been like, oh, that's the clean show.

That's the clean, good, wholesome show.

Really?

Because that's all I've heard about it is that it's like it's optimistic.

Positive.

We've heard our standards on that one.

Quite a bit.

Really?

Oh, yeah.

Quite a bit.

Quite a bit.

It's pretty incredible.

If you try to find something that is good

and everyone can watch and no one's offended.

Oh, yeah.

I don't think there is anything.

Yeah, I mean, I've been watching Succession.

I won't

know spoilers here, but it's like, it's not a positive show.

There's not a lot of good people on it.

I mean, I really like the show, and it's really well done, but it doesn't exactly leave you a feeling of it.

Well, it's kind of like, it's kind of like Yellowstone, where

Yellowstone,

not a lot of good people in the family.

They're in Yellowstone.

They're all like, should we kill him, Dad?

It's the right thing to do.

And somehow or another, you find yourself going, damn right it is.

In this one instance, it's okay.

It's okay.

I mean, they're doing it.

It's weird.

I do think that the Ted Lasso thing is an interesting phenomenon in that I think we, because of shows that were super successful, like Breaking Bad, for example, we went to that really dark place with television.

And so many shows are like that.

And I got to say, I like those shows.

I really, I mean, I don't know what it is about my tastes on television, but I really wind up liking those dark shows.

And it does put you kind of, you watch a lot of them, and there's so many.

You can stream them all, you can binge them all, and it can put you in a dark place.

Yeah, by midnight tonight, you're either killing your people or killing yourself, right?

So, it's no big deal.

Yeah, I know, too.

I'll come.

It is something that is,

I've been trying to go to church every day for the last two weeks

and just spend time with God for at least an hour every day.

So, in the middle of the middle of the day, I've been leaving the office and going, and

it's such a hassle.

I mean, I got,

okay.

Anyway, I mean,

I don't think I've ever done that in my life.

I don't think I've ever been to church every day for two weeks in my life.

Maybe as a kid, a camp.

Maybe I had a church camp I went to for two straight weeks.

But I mean, is that a regular thing for most people?

No.

To church for two every day for two weeks.

No, I don't think so.

Okay.

But

I did it because,

you know, I was prompted to do it.

And then I was like, Yeah, that's a good idea.

I'll do that.

And now I'm like, I can't break my word to God.

He remembers things.

And what are you just looking for?

I was just looking for some guidance.

You know what I mean?

And

strangely,

I think I'm getting it.

But also,

you find less desire

to watch things like that.

The more you align yourself and you don't be, well, at least I'm not becoming preachy because, I mean, I like those shows too.

But

you just find yourself like not

just not interested.

I mean, I'll have to go to church every day for like 50 years before I can really master that.

But

I thought it was interesting in two weeks, you know.

Yeah.

I mean, I think.

And I'm glad next week's over because I got to watch Breaking Bad.

I've never watched it.

So I got to watch it.

It's so good.

It's so good.

I think I've come that way.

I've come that way with horror movies, which I have always sort of liked horror movies.

And like lately, I just can't get myself motivated.

I don't know.

There's just something about people ripping off each other's flesh is that it just, it's not as appealing as it once was.

I don't know why.

Maybe because I'm scared it's going to happen to me every time I walk down the street in any major city these days.

You know, and I think part of this has to do with,

you know,

who was the number one

box office draw in World War I?

I don't know.

Charlie Chaplin.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, okay, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Who is the biggest star even today,

but

really started in the Depression and

through World War II?

Carrot Top.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Wow.

Not a lot of people get that.

Okay.

Carrot Top.

Mickey Mouse.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

They're the same character.

They're the little guy sacrificing necessarily what they want

for the joy of others because they love to watch the joy in others.

And,

you know, maybe that's what we're getting from Ted Lasso and some.

you know also strip clubs are in it but uh oh see mickey goes to a strip club you don't think disney's doing that right now?

Yeah.

But I mean, it is, it is, Ted Lasso's character is,

he's just going to do the right thing.

And even if it hurts him, he's going to do the right thing.

And he loves to see other people have joy.

Yeah, because I keep hearing people say the word wholesome around Ted Lasso.

Yeah, he is.

He is.

He is.

But I think more than wholesome, which you'd think of, you know, some, you don't think there's not going to be strip clubs often and wholesome shows.

It's really that like sort of optimism, right?

It's like, it's almost like everything around you seems dark right now.

Yeah.

So this show stands out.

No, but it's not just optimism.

It is kind of a wholesome attitude.

He is wholesome.

He is just a country kind of guy who grew up, you know, believing all the things that our grandparents taught us and never left that world and gosh darn it, just not going to let the world get me down.

but he's not a gosh darn it kind of guy he he you really like him you really really like him and and he is clean cut gosh darn it that's oh

you know what we should do

and it's stuff that you would like never think of unless you were a really wholesome guy and then you're seeing it

play out over the the length of the show how people are changing because of him when he first starts, everybody's miserable.

Now, I think it's only one guy, and I don't think he's ever going to change, that's miserable.

But

he hated Ted.

Now he's one of Ted's biggest fans because he's true.

He is consistent.

He lives what he preaches.

And that's what people like.

That actually seems,

it seems like something I would like.

I don't know why.

I don't know why you don't like it.

I think you would really like it.

Maybe I should try it again.

This is a little bit off topic, but a show that I'm watching now that I think you might enjoy.

It's a show called Jury Duty.

Have you heard of this?

No.

It's on something called Freevy, which I didn't know exists.

That's probably why nobody's heard of it.

But I think it might be worth a Google to find where it is.

It's a show.

It's like a documentary about a jury.

And the case is like an accident.

in a warehouse, in like a textile warehouse.

And that's what the case is about.

And it's a documentary.

You meet all all the jurors, you go through the whole thing.

You know, it's kind of what you'd expect from this.

The hook on it, though, is that it's a fake trial.

Every single person in it is an actor, except one of the jurors.

He thinks it's completely legitimate.

And he thinks it's.

So it's like the Truman show.

Yeah, like really, like, just created the Truman show on this one guy who thinks he's there for a real trial.

In reality, the judge, the actors, the plaintiff, the defendant every lawyers everything is fake what is the point what is right now i mean i would just say basically at least i've maybe five episodes into it it's just really funny like it's all these people are really weird and they keep putting him into strange situations and he has to make these it doesn't seem to have a point to it other than to make you laugh But I mean, that's kind of what reminded me when you were talking about Ted Lasso because, I don't know, we don't have a lot of that stuff right now.

It all has points.

It's all going to treat, you know, you got to be, you got to, how can we get you into this transgendered vehicle today?

Oh, my gosh.

Let me go talk to my manager.

It's so much of this stuff is pushing you in some direction when it comes to culture, usually a negative one.

I mean, this just seems funny.

I don't know if it's going to hold up.

I mean, it's been really solid so far, but just the concept of it is, I think, really, really funny.

I mean, the effort that they're putting in to make this guy believe and put him in these really awkward situations where he has to do these things because it wants to.

This is my dream job.

Wouldn't that be so funny?

I think this is my dream job.

Create a world for one person

and they have no idea.

Yeah.

And just

wouldn't that be fun?

It really would be.

I mean, unless you had ill intent.

Well,

if I could be the scheduler at the White House,

that could be fun.

It would be a hell of a, it would be an interesting.

We'd have a lot to talk about.

We would show.

We would.

We would.

Did you see where he was yesterday?

Wait until you see where he is tonight.

I mean, all right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's Goldline.

There's a couple of things.

Did you see Elon Musk?

Do we have time to play Elon Musk on

inflation?

If you increase the money supply,

you get inflation.

Right.

So

there's not some magical cure for getting rid of inflation,

except to increase the productivity, the output of goods and services.

So

if you say, like, what is money?

You've got these sort of,

it's basically numbers in a database

that

count up some total.

Then you've got the output of goods and services of the economy.

And

as long as the ratio of money to ratio of goods and services stays, if that stays constant, you have no inflation.

So that is

pretty clear example of what inflation is.

Have things been constant?

Are our goods and services, are we constantly, you know, we're pumping it out consistently at this level?

No.

Do we have the consistent level of how much money is being printed?

No.

Okay.

Are they diametrically opposed to themselves?

Yes.

Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

I want to remind you that we are going to take our museum out on the road for the very first time.

About $75 million worth of artifacts are going to be coming to St.

George, Utah this summer.

And it is, I think, the

24th, I think, of June through

July 4th.

And we would love to see you there.

You got to get your tickets, and you can get them now at unitedwepledge.org.

Unitedwepled.org.

Get your tickets to the museum.

Get them now because

they're all going to be gone.

So get your tickets now.

I mean, I'm really excited for this.

You saw the,

this weekend I'm trying to get something that is

why I've looked for 15 years for any item.

and one of the best items is coming up this weekend.

I'll tell you about it if we get it on Monday, but you just saw the, we just had an exact replica of the

door into the shower room of Auschwitz

created.

It is chilling.

I haven't been in the room with it yet,

but

it's for the room all about experts.

And when

science and government all start to collude and go wrong, it can go dark quickly, especially if you have anti-human or

just wildly arrogant people in charge.

But it's going to be a tour.

Your kids can skip that part if you want, but it's going to be,

it's going to be something you'll never forget.

You'll never see things like this.

It's United We Pledge.org.

And we've been doing these things, these types of, you've been doing these things, museums for years and years and years.

And the first ones were really cool.

Like there was some really cool stuff there.

It has expanded to levels I don't think we ever could have imagined.

And the amount of stuff you have now, incredible things from history that you can see.

And, you know, man, I can't encourage people enough to come out and do this.

If you're in the area, it's worth your time.

Are you coming out?

It's not worth my time.

It's worth their time.

Yeah, I would love to.

I don't know what the plan is with the shooting schedules and such.

A lot of times, they make me stay back here

in case you know you go on a bender or whatever and don't show up in the morning for the show.

So, yeah, but yeah, I got to get out there for this.

I really want to see it.

All right.

Um, we will see you on Monday.

Thank you so much for the weeks

that you have been listening.

Even if it's your first day, thank you for putting up with us.

Thank you for spreading the word and being,

I believe, the greatest, most charitable, kindest audience ever, ever assembled in the history of radio.

The Glenn Beck program.
