How would you describe today's show

if we were doing an intro to the show?

How would I describe it?

Just

non-stop uplifting hope for the future, is how I would say.

Okay, not that.

No.

Today's show, let me tell you, I was inspired.

You inspired me.

Oh, inspired too.

This is the only show, honestly, that Sarah, I think maybe she's done it a couple of times in 20 years.

This is the only show that twice she came in the studio during the break and went,

that was amazing and so clarifying.

Yeah.

Now, one of the times she definitely was just trying to get something out of you, but one of the times I think she meant it.

I think she did.

I think she meant it.

I think she did.

And yeah.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I'm happily married, Sarah.

Today's podcast brought to you by Relief Factor.

In pain, get out.

Yeah, I know.

I tried for a long time.

I went to the Mayo Clinic.

I went to Columbia Hospital in New York and NYU.

I had all kinds of tests.

They couldn't stop the pain.

And they couldn't even really find

the definitive source of all of it.

And so that gave me a lot of hope.

And everything I tried, nothing worked.

You know, unless I wanted to be fear,

you don't want to live your life like that.

I don't want to live my life like that, and I don't want to be in pain either.

I found Relief Factor.

You're listening to

the best of the blend back program.

So, first of all, let me thank you for listening to this program.

Let me thank you for making the Blaze the largest center right streaming platform in the world.

Thank you.

You have built quite a network.

As I used to say about 10 years ago, this is the network that you are building, and we are building it to last.

I want to make sure that you understand

what is happening if you're watching us on YouTube or Roku or the Blaze or Pluto.

We just switched, this is actually really good news.

We just brought our Master Control in-house.

Now, we have control rooms here for all of our studios that produce the shows, but then we have, because it's so wildly expensive, we have shipped our master control, which does all the technical stuff, to a

New York company.

So it comes from our studios here and then goes to a New York company.

They encode it and then it comes back and we put it online.

I've not liked this.

None of us have

because we have all of these third-party vendors and we don't trust anybody anymore.

Our goal is to be able to be completely independent.

That is a lofty goal.

We couldn't do half of the things when we started because it didn't even exist.

Remember, the Blaze was a streaming service when the only other streaming service was Major League Baseball.

Netflix, HBO, all of that stuff was not a streaming service at the time.

We were number two behind Major League Baseball.

So we are building as quickly as I can and as we can.

Some were watching the TV show last night or the radio show, and they were annoyed that during the ad breaks, we had a loop of our logo with some stupid music.

And people were, you know, like, hey, what's going on?

We want you to know we're doing and moving as fast as we can, but yesterday was the first time that we were on our own in-house master control.

And

that is

something

really big

for us and really big for you.

We're doing everything we can.

We're investing your,

you know, $9.99 or $5.99 or whatever it is, the discount you got it for.

We're investing that money and we're investing it to make sure this is the Alamo.

We will be the last person standing.

We're not going anywhere.

So So thanks for your patience.

Don't worry, everything is fine.

We are just bringing everything in-house to make sure nothing stands in the way between you

and the truth.

Now,

there is something that is standing between you and the truth, and that is mainstream corporate journalism.

There is a story in the New York Times today, racist and violent ideas jump from the web's fringes to mainstream sites, according to the New York Times.

Now, this is all about

the replacement theory that we have talked about.

Replacement theory is, of course, the theory that whites are in trouble.

Jews will not replace us.

It's basically that.

And actually, it started with the czar

and the protocols of Zion.

But yeah, I mean, that's kind of, if you remember the Charlottesville Tiki Torch guys,

that is the theory behind that.

It's something that, of course, no conservative that I know of believes.

I mean,

that entire movement believes in all sorts of things that guarantee you don't, including abortion and including, you know, universal health care and all sorts of things.

Save the Constitution.

Right, exactly.

So, I mean, it has no connection whatsoever to anything that we talk about on a daily basis.

Okay.

So the New York Times did an extensive look into internet searches and memes and all kinds of things about radical ideas.

Well, we knew this story was coming out,

I think, last Thursday.

No, I think it was last Friday.

We knew it was coming out because we got this text message from Stuart Thompson, a writer at the New York Times.

Hi, thanks for getting in touch.

I'm trying to reach somebody at the Blaze for a story that mentions them.

Are you the right person for that?

I could also use a comment on another bit of the story that mentions a report citing Glenn Beck.

I can send more if you're the right person.

We responded, sure, go ahead, send both topics.

I'll make sure they get to the right people.

Then, Stuart Thompson, the writer for the New York Times,

sent us something.

It says,

here's the story that we mentioned in the report, which reviews 1,096 posts on Facebook about the great replacement and related themes, finding that Glenn Beck and pages affiliated with the Blaze posted most frequently on the set.

Now, we found that amazing

because we never talked about it ever until the shooter put it in his manifest.

Another part of the story, we conducted a reverse image search analysis on a

28-page section of the Buffalo Shooters Manifesto to see where the charts and images appeared online.

We found that one chart about

interracial violence featured on page 21 of the manifesto also appeared on the Blaze in this post.

Let me know if there's any comment about either of these findings.

Happy to chat.

So wait, one chart

in this manifesto appeared

on a page affiliated with the network?

You're going to understand all of of this here in just a second.

Thanks.

We'll pass this on.

What deadline are you working with?

Our people said.

And then he said, hey, we're trying.

Now this is at 11.14 a.m.

We're trying to close this out today.

So 4 p.m.

Oh,

well, it's a Friday before Labor Day.

I'm sure everybody's available to.

Sounds like an appropriate time.

Absolutely.

You'd give me 18 minutes

to answer.

I don't think that's realistic.

We wrote, is there an editor I should speak with for more time than four hours?

Sure thing.

That was just a conservative guess.

That's the first thing the New York Times has ever done that's conservative.

That's just a conservative guess on timing.

Let me see if there's an update when we will go.

Sounds like we're not going until tomorrow.

Would a deadline of 10 a.m.

tomorrow be enough time?

Sorry for the trouble.

Given the holiday weekend, I think Tuesday is more realistic, but I don't know yet.

We can certainly aim for tomorrow.

Then

we are sent the links that they sent to us.

And so

we wrote back,

we think you sent us the wrong Media Matters link.

Can you double check?

And are you referencing the chart from this government report?

If so, are you saying there's an issue with us issuing it or posting it?

Citing a a government report.

So it was a government report that we did a story on that was not connected to shooting that

he

also posted on his manifest.

Okay, it's a government chart.

So is the source of all the bigotry the U.S.

government?

First of all, yes.

And

he said, no, we didn't send you the wrong link.

Then we wrote and said,

are you writing about replacement theory

or the great reset?

We think you might be confused.

They're not,

is this, I guess it was Memorial Day weekend.

Was everyone else off?

Like, what was.

I don't know.

I think this might be the janitor that was writing this.

But we didn't get a response.

In fact, we never heard from them again.

Okay, so they pulled the story.

They're not going to run the story, right?

No, they ran the story.

They just didn't include, what was it?

The.

So basically,

they confused great replacement theory with the great reset.

Yes.

Because they both had similar letters.

In the story, we mentioned this report, which reviewed 1,096 posts on Facebook about the great replacement and related themes.

Finding that Glenn Beck and pages affiliated with the Blaze posted most frequently.

Well,

no, we posted about the Great Reset.

That's the name of your book.

So, yeah, you probably did post most frequently about that.

Right.

And not the Great Replacement.

In fact, it's not called the Great Replacement.

It's called Replacement Theory.

This is how stupid the people are at the New York Times.

They're in the midst of writing a story that they have to have finished in four hours.

By the way, the story hit today,

but they had to have it finished in four hours.

Wait, they had all that time.

They had all that time.

All week to reach back out to clarify this and never did.

And never did.

What a surprise this is.

This is shocking.

This is like not even the B team, is it?

This is that.

We are down.

No.

We're on like the L team.

Yes.

A giant bunch of L's.

Not saying that they're losers.

No.

Oh, gosh, I thought that was.

You didn't think of that.

No, he didn't mean it.

He picked a random letter that was gone in the alphabet.

I heard from the Southern Poverty Law Center about you, Stu.

I know what you really mean.

And it'll be in the New York Times.

Or they'll write to you about how many times you've said these racist things, and then you'll point out, no, I never.

Are you talking about

In the Heat of the Night, that old TV show on CBS?

and then you'll never hear from them again.

Yeah, that's fascinating because, I mean, we really, the only time we've ever mentioned great replacement theory is to mock it and say how pathetic it is.

And not to mention that, when we've talked about the great reset, which is, by the way, a separate topic that has nothing to do with replacement theory,

we've talked about it over and over again as a, to be very careful to make sure you separate rumors and theories that are online to what is actually true, which is why you wrote a book about it.

So, I mean, I don't know how.

Again, no fact will get in the way of a story from these guys.

No, no, no.

It's easy to explain.

They let Media Matters do their work.

They get a facts from Media Matters, and they're like, look, Glenn Beck.

And either the people are so stupid at Media Matters that they made the same mistake, or they're so stupid at the New York Times, they made the mistake.

But one way or another, it shows the New York Times is being run by media matters.

That's nothing new.

It's just nice to see it in action.

And it's nice to see somebody who makes such a dumb statement.

And again, like the New York Times, they'll never take responsibility for anything.

They'll just disappear.

What email?

That didn't happen.

What?

Wow, that's embarrassing.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

Okay,

last night on my television show,

I explained the three pillars of transforming our country outside of the Constitution.

And it is the playbook that they're using.

First, the first thing you have to do before you even start to build something new is destroy everything.

You have to destroy the trust in every institution.

You have to change the history.

You have to change our language.

You have to scare people into silence.

Then you need to flex your muscle.

While you're destroying it, make sure you teach people.

You stay in your place.

I want to show you an example of this.

Here is Fauci last night on Fox.

One of the issues, Neil, that I have articulated in the past, and I will in the future, it's less about mandates on the plane than it is about who has the right and the authority and the capability of making public health decisions.

Stop.

This is why the Biden administration is fighting the mask mandates on the plane.

Court said, no, you don't have to wear them anymore.

Why is Biden fighting this?

Because he wants his administration to have the control over what you must and must not do.

Fauci just

admitted it.

This is about control.

An all-government response to a crisis is the first thing you need to do.

After you've destroyed a nation, and they're not done yet, but they will be very soon.

You'll have to build something else that it collapses into.

This is a frightening

set of

facts that I'm going to give you today because this is what they're building, okay?

This is the net.

We know it's the great reset, but this is how they capture all of it.

First, the first pillar is an all-of-government response to a crisis.

Remember, never let a serious crisis go to waste.

The bureaucracy, the administration must be weaponized.

Mandates have to be rewritten.

They need to be prepared to proactively rebuild society from the ashes of a crisis.

And that means every alphabet agency, every department, every commission needs to be in lockstep toward that goal.

And it's happening right now.

In a minute, I'll tell you what has happened

with FEMA.

No longer is FEMA a reactive.

They're a proactive.

They've just rewritten the entire

goal of

that

department.

Emergencies used to be, it's an emergency, quick,

call the governor.

Can FEMA go in and help them?

Do they need federal help?

Yes, great.

Go down and do it.

Now it's FEMA is looking for emergencies.

And how can they make that emergency better proactively?

What can they do to make a more stable

and equitable community?

Did you know FEMA did that?

Because they just changed their mission.

So you have to have

an all-of-government response to whatever the crisis is.

Second pillar, you have to have executive action outside of Congress.

Everybody knows Congress, the Constitution will slow any of this stuff down.

Now here's what's interesting.

Radicals outside of the government delivered Biden a full plan just a few weeks before his inauguration.

It included detailed steps, including multiple executive answers or actions that they pre-wrote for the administration.

We've never voted for these people.

We've never heard of these people.

But those are the executive orders that Biden is executing.

The third pillar is international support with teeth.

You have to have, you can't just make it you.

You have to have the globe imposing this.

All right.

So let me go to executive action outside of Congress.

Build Back Better, the Great Reset, the Green New Deal.

Haven't heard much talk about it, have you?

But it's all being done.

It's all being backed up by executive action.

It's all being done not just through executive orders, but also the president just dictates what he wants his his administration to do.

In December of 2020, a few weeks before Biden was inaugurated, a group called the Center for Biological Diversity approached Joe Biden.

Now, I don't know if it was on your ballot, but I remember voting for president, and I don't ever remember seeing the Center for Biological Diversity as one of my choices.

They spearhead a collection of over 700 groups that make up some of the most radical climate activists in the country.

During the Trump presidency,

they made their name by launching an insane amount of litigation,

266 frivolous lawsuits, to paralyze that administration, to slow them down.

On the website, they brag about their meeting with Biden and they, quote, presented him with a progressive climate president action plan and model executive orders.

Hmm.

Well, there's 10 of them.

10 essential climate actions President Biden can take without Congress.

They did the work for Biden.

They wrote the orders for him.

Now are they running the country or is the guy we voted for running the country?

Starting at the bottom, number 10, the Paris Agreement.

They did that.

Number nine, make polluters pay and prosecute polluters.

Number eight, advance climate justice.

Number seven, launch a just transition.

I don't even know what that means.

Prosecute polluters?

Well, let me give you radical-in-chief, Joe Biden.

Number two, holding them liable for what they have done, particularly in those cases where you're underserved neighborhoods and you know the deal, okay?

And by the way, when they don't or when they're deliberate, put them in jail.

That's what I'm not not joking about this.

No, he's not joking about this.

No, he passed that, or he passed that.

He just signed that executive order.

Advance climate justice, that's done.

I don't know what number seven is, launch a just transition, but I'm guessing that's ESG.

Number six, 100%

renewable energy by 2030.

Now, here's a very important executive order, number 14008.

All of this, by the way, you can look up at whitehouse.gov.

It mandates a carbon pollution-free electricity sector no later than 2035.

That's five years over the deadline set by the radicals, but 13 years from today.

Ask yourself, why can you not buy

a carbon or combustion engine in 2030?

There will be no car companies that are making combustion engines.

You will pay $15 a gallon if you're lucky.

If you're lucky.

Why is that?

Why is our gas price so high today?

Why will there be electrical blackouts over two-thirds of the country this summer?

Why are you paying so much for natural gas and energy?

Because of this executive order.

This coupled with ESG,

let me just say this.

By 2030, you'll own nothing and like it.

How do you make that happen?

You impoverish a nation.

Number five, this is actually an executive order.

Weaponize the Clean Air Act.

Now, Biden has been on this one from the beginning.

Number four, shift financial flows from fossil fuels to climate solutions.

That's ESG, been happening for years.

This is Biden's executive actions on reshaping the U.S.

economy.

It wasn't reported or described like this, but that is exactly what it is.

Please continue to listen today because I'm going to bring you to this fall.

And

I did the show last night and I agonized over this show.

How can I get the most people with ears that can hear and eyes that will see?

I don't care about the people who don't watch the show and think I'm a nutjob.

That's fine.

I can't do anything for them.

But I can help you and your friends.

but you have to know the truth and sometimes it's hard to look at but we are right around the corner

the best of the Glenn Bank program

So there's a couple of things.

You know, Stu,

what is the technical definition of inflation?

Well, we always say too many dollars chasing too few goods.

Too many dollars chasing too few goods.

Right.

Okay.

So like

I'm just going to use this as an example, and I don't think this is right, but correct me.

Like if you have a supply chain breakdown

and you can't get the goods,

or if you don't have people going to work because the government is paying for them, so you can't get people to fill the jobs.

That could end up in too few goods.

Right?

Is that part of that way?

And then

too much money.

I mean, is that when the government just spends money that they don't have and just prints money?

They're printing too much.

Yeah.

Like if you were to

flood the society with printed dollars, that's the actual economic definition

of inflation.

I mean it's technically the cause of it.

The definition is the increase in prices.

Wow.

Why does that happen?

Well, too many dollars chasing too few goods.

We should send that to the White House because I don't think they understand that.

They've just

paid off the loans for another 500,000 ketos.

Now, I don't know about you,

but I went to one semester of college at 30 because I couldn't afford more.

So instead of getting strapped with debt, I read 7,000 books in 10 years.

I educated myself.

Would I have loved to go to school?

Yeah, I was going to school at Yale.

Would have been nice.

Glad I didn't now in retrospect.

but couldn't afford it.

One semester.

Why is the guy who went to college for one semester because he couldn't afford it and didn't feel that it was the responsible thing to take out loans to go to school?

Why am I now paying for someone else that I don't know

through my tax dollars, paying off a loan for an an education, I most definitely

do not agree with.

I'm sorry.

Oh, we were talking about inflation.

What happens when you pay off everybody's student loan like that?

Isn't that a giant influx of...

Well, because, I mean, the theory is, right, if you have a situation

where you're worried the economy's overheated, right?

That's what they're worried about with inflation.

They're saying the economy is overheated.

Right.

We need to raise interest rates to cool the economy down.

To try to choke back some of that cash flow.

Because the inflationary problem is real.

Right.

So you wouldn't want to introduce, let's say, a brand new stimulus program into the middle of that.

Obviously, that would be completely unsettled.

But they're all college-educated, so they'll take that monthly debt that they used to have to chip away at, and they'll just take that, and I'm sure they'll save it in a box.

They won't even put it into the bank

that the bank could reuse to loan to other people.

They'll just keep it in a box.

When you have too much money

chasing too few goods, then what you don't want to do necessarily is

send a bunch of people who are already wealthy

a bunch of money so that they can spend it and make the problem worse.

And the reason we know this is a stimulus program, Glenn,

is because this is precisely precisely how the administration sold the idea when they came up with it like a few months ago.

When they were saying what we need to do is we need to release these people from student debt and it will stimulate the economy.

They told us

it was a stimulus program.

Will you do me a favor?

Will you do me a favor?

Write down that definition that we just talked about.

And would you just email the White House?

Because

they probably just don't know.

Yeah,

I think so because they say it's Putin causing the inflation.

The Putin price hike?

You've heard of it.

You've heard of it.

That's the whole thing.

So let me ask you this.

Speaking of the Putin price hike,

I've got a couple of questions on this one.

Biden just announced another $700 million in military aid for Ukraine.

Now, first we sent over, I think, $3 billion.

Then we sent over, I think, $10 billion.

Then we did another, what, 41

billion, right?

So that brought us up to $58 billion.

And then,

by the way, how much do we, because this can't even be close to what we send over to evil Israel, who gets the lion's share of all of our money.

We're always helping Israel out and sending all kinds of money over to Israel to build up their Zionist army.

How much is that?

About three billion.

I'm sorry.

But three?

Three billion.

That's a month, a week, a year.

A year.

Three billion dollars is what we send over to evil Israel that just has to stop.

Okay.

And we've sent now about $60 billion

over to Ukraine, which is not good in the accounting world.

Let me just put it that way.

Some might say it's corrupt.

I say just bad accounting.

You know what I mean?

Hey, it happens.

So $60 billion.

And then

yesterday,

just a week after we sent another like billion dollars, which the week before we sent $41 billion,

we decide Biden said yesterday, hey, we have to send him another $700 million.

Can I ask a question?

Either what's happening to the money that we've already sent,

or

are we this bad at numbers to where we're like,

hey, the White House is asking for 30, and the Democrats in Congress go, no, we're going to make it 40.

And so they give him an extra 10 billion.

And then he's like, oh, but I need one more.

A week later.

Oh, I need 700 million.

Isn't this like a teenager?

Wouldn't you start questioning your teenager if they came to you and said, hey,

it's really important I get an education, right?

Yes.

Well, it's going to cost $250,000 for a four-year education.

And you're like, okay, well, you don't have to work for it at all.

I'm going to just write that check.

And then they come back and go, oh,

there was more intuition.

I need actually $500,000.

And then you would say, I'm going to give you $700,000.

And then a week later, they come back and go, I need, I need another 2,500.

Okay.

And then the next week, I know I need another 5,000.

At what point

do you realize you're a moron

or your kid is jiving you?

At what point?

Now, I know

that what

in your house isn't the same as it is in Washington.

I know for a fact that the things that work in your business, those principles don't apply for governments.

And I'm sure if you did that with your kid,

you know, you might just keep writing that check.

and then go broke because you're a moron.

But I'm sure they would never, your boss would never question, right?

If you're making a pitch to a client and they say, well,

how much is this going to be?

And you say, I don't know, 30,000.

And they, for some reason, somebody at the desk goes, oh, you know what?

I'm going to give you 40,000.

Yeah, but it's 30,000 that I was.

I want you to have 40,000.

You just make sure everything is covered.

Okay, thank you.

That's That's nice.

And then you get to 60,000, okay?

And then you just ask for more money every single week.

At some point,

doesn't someone in the boardroom say, what the hell is going on here?

Well, it's just these printing costs.

They just keep going up.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

I don't think so.

You didn't foresee that?

You didn't foresee?

Because we padded this with an extra $10 billion

and you keep telling us the war is going so great.

What are you spending the money on?

By the way, we're sending them our old stuff.

So it's not like they're buying new stuff from, you know, Raytheon.

We're not sending them the best

and the newest and and the latest.

No, no, no.

We're sending them our old stuff along with our money.

And then, because we're depleting our stuff, we also get to buy the latest and greatest.

And yes, it's going to cost a few dollars more, but we can afford it.

I mean, you're saving money by buying this equipment.

Oh my gosh.

How dumb, how dumb are we, America?

At what point do your neighbors wake up and go, yeah, this doesn't make any sense?

At what point do we stop playing politics?

I don't give a flying crap if it's a Republican or a Democrat or a flying squirrel.

I don't care.

Does anyone

have an ounce of common sense?

I'm not sure.

Might be just you and me.
