gosh you only have one

job you were the fed chair your job is to make sure inflation doesn't happen and then you went to the treasury

And you can't recognize inflation.

That's like me saying, I'm here on location and I'm.

Oh, I'm sorry, I was just told I was talking into a pen.

That's your expertise, and you can't recognize it?

We'll talk about that also.

Joy Behar

says gun manufacturers are grooming kids.

I'm going to take a 60-second break before my head explodes, and then we'll get into it.

First, here's Rough Greens.

Let me tell you about a decision I'm never going to regret.

A decision I made for my dog because my dog can't talk, which is weird.

I don't know about your dog.

Mine's a little slow, I guess.

Uno is happier and healthier.

He has gained weight.

He is...

I mean, when I first found Rough Greens, he loved it.

And he loved it so much, I'm like, this is dog crap

crack there is something in this that makes him crave it and

and I brought it to the

the vet and said hey should I feed this to my dog I mean he really really likes it and she looks at the bag and looks at everything in it she's like oh yeah no this is great is he eating more and I'm like yeah and she's like that's great feed it to him roughgreens.com.

I've seen a difference in my dog.

I think you'll see one in yours.

Okay, so I've got some good news, and we'll get into this here in a second.

But

Tom Tillis,

Chris Murphy, who I love, John Cornyn, oh, he's the best.

They're in some very constructive gun reform talks right now, and I'm going to get into some of their reform.

Oh, no, no.

They are

so good.

In fact,

let me me just quote Chris Murphy from Connecticut.

It is true, you know, Republicans are not willing to support everything that I support, like banning assault weapons.

Murphy told CBS's Face the Nation last Sunday.

But I really think that we could pass something that saves lives and breaks this log jam that we've had for 30 years, proving to Republicans that if you vote to tighten the nation's gun laws, the sky doesn't fall for you politically.

Oh,

oh, listen, Republicans.

Yes, it will.

Oh, yes, it will.

I'm not afraid.

You will be.

You

will be.

Meanwhile, Joy Behar gets on TV yesterday.

I guess people still watch TV and the view for some strange reason.

And

Sonny Holston, is it Holston or Holstein?

I think it's Hostess.

Hostess.

Okay, good.

Why doesn't Congress do something about this gun thing?

When you look at it, let's say

Daniel Defense, the gun manufacturer.

I mean, I think we have a copy of the ad.

They're marketing to children and families.

Look at this.

I find it insulting.

They're saying, train up a child in the way he should go.

When he's old, he will not depart from it.

That's proverbs.

It's such a disturbing ad.

Daniel Defense has since deleted this toddler tweet, but they actively are marketing towards children.

Behar said, I think they call that grooming.

It is grooming.

Is it?

Is it really?

That's also not an ad for children.

That's an ad for adults who want to think about, you know, the, the, the, they think about back to their childhood, think about the legacy as their children get older.

That's a targeting to

adults who are actually going to be the one purchasing the firearms.

Not true.

Not true.

I know every toddler, every toddler out there goes, how did I raise up a child?

That's all I can remember now.

Yeah, no, it's right to the children.

So let me

talk to you a little bit about grooming, Joy.

The number of men and women under 30 who reported exclusively heterosexual partners has dropped now from 96% in the 1990s to 92% in 2021.

This is according to the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology.

However, most surveys indicate that the number of Americans under 30 who identify as LGBT is around 20%.

Hmm.

Now that's weird.

What's happened there?

The majority of the increase in LGBT identity can be traced to how those who only engage in heterosexual behavior describe themselves.

The 2008 attitudes and behavior are similar.

By 2021, LGBT identification was running at twice the rate of LGBT sexual behavior.

So, wait a minute,

20%

except it's running in behavior exactly the same.

Huh, what could be going there?

Most liberal survey respondents moved from about 10 to 15 percent non-heterosexual in 2016 to 33 percent somebody's printing homosexuals.

It's a far bigger shift than any other group.

LGBT identification was also disproportionately associated with anxiety and depression in young people.

And the group which grew the most among the LGBT community were bisexuals, significant majority of whom were women.

University students majoring in social sciences and humanities were found to be about 10 points more LGBT than those studying STEM.

Huh.

Do lesbians and homosexuals not like the sciences?

Hmm.

52% of students taking highly political majors such as race or gender studies, 52%

are LGBT.

Huh.

Now, according to the report, various surveys indicate that gender nonconformity, such as identifying as transgender or non-binary, is actually on the decline after reaching its peak.

Huh.

Do you think that has anything to do with grooming?

Oh, by the way, grooming?

An arrest warrant has been filed for 28-year-old former Oklahoma middle school teacher Ivy Renault.

She's accused of allegedly sending nude pictures to a 16-year-old student.

If convicted, she faces felony charges for using technology to engage in communication for sexual or Purian interest with a minor.

She's also the assistant soccer coach and has said to make the move after meeting the student at practice and overhearing rumors that he liked her.

Somebody hasn't moved on from grade school.

By the way, the BBC has altered now the alleged rape victim's quote to avoid misgendering her trans biological male attacker.

Stu, you saw Ricky Gervais.

This was his opening comedy routine.

British broadcasting company under fire after a staff complained that the news agency altered a rape victim's quotes to avoid misgendering her biological male transgender attackers pronouns.

The paper reported that BBC Diversity team made the unethical and disrespectful decision to change a rape's victim quotes about a lesbian woman who feeled pressure to have sex and relationships with a biological man

who identifies as a transgender woman.

In the article, One lesbian victim recounted her experiences with the transgender woman who physically forced her to have sex with him after a date and allegedly threatened to ostracize her if she refused.

She discussed the horrifying experience with the BBC using he and him pronouns.

However, the news agency changed those pronouns to they and them.

So you got that going for you.

Do you remember that comedy routine for Ricky Gervais?

There's nothing as comedy anymore.

Yeah, what if she,

what if he rapes me?

What if she rapes me?

We are living in insanity.

By the way, I know you love Taco Bell.

There's something very, very exciting that you can attend.

Fans who attend this new event will

see captivating visual backdrops, craveable breakfast menus,

thrilling lip syncs,

and extraordinary high kicks and dips, according.

sounds great.

Yeah, to Taco Bell.

Taco Bell has launched now a series of drag bunch.

Sorry, drag brunch events

hosted by the fabulous drag performer and taco extraordinaire, K Sidia.

They got K Cedia?

K Sidia.

Kesidia, I guess.

K-Cidia.

Oh, so K-Sedia, not K-Sidia.

Why would it be pronounced K-Sidia if they're trying to play off Que Sedia?

And we guess this is pronounced K-Sedia.

You're the one.

The worst.

You know, this is typical of you.

In the beginning of Pride Month, here we are.

Yeah.

June 1st.

Yeah.

The first day

of Pride Month.

And not only do you slander K-Sedea,

but you bring this hate to the table.

Yeah.

And also, you bring hate and no-notches, unlike Taco.

All I'm saying is, all I'm saying is, I think grooming is happening somewhere, and I don't think it's in the gun world.

I think grooming is happening.

Oh, by the way, other kind of grooming is happening with our kids.

School children are used to eating hot dinners such as fish and chips, spaghetti, and lasagna.

But children at four primary schools in Wales are set to take part in workshops organized by scientists and teachers to inform them about the benefits of eating alternative protein i.e.

bugs

these will include plant-based foods and may involve edible insects depending on whether they received the novel foods approval by the food standards agency these will be in the form of conventional mints which combine plant-based and alternative protein.

So they are they are now experimenting with our children and trying to show them how great it is to eat freaking bugs.

Meanwhile, in Illinois, school leadership previewed plans for eliminating zeros from the gradebook

and instead encourage and reward growth over time.

High school in a Chicago suburb is going away and getting rid of punishing students for not turning in homework on time or failing to participate in class on the basis of upholding political values and racial equity.

According to West Cook News, the administration at Oak Park and River Forest High School in Illinois is planning this radical overhaul for the upcoming school year.

Students will reportedly no longer be punished for missing classes or failing to turn in homework because it impacts black students more.

I would not show up or do any homework at this school.

Why assign it?

Also, isn't that incredibly racist?

Yes.

Yes.

So black kids, that's them just saying black kids don't do homework and are bad at school.

That's the, that's what that, you just summarized that point.

Hold on just a second.

The stated end goal of the plan is to have equitable assessment and grading practices implemented throughout all school courses by autumn 2023.

Many teachers are successfully exploring and implementing more equitable grading practices such as utilizing aspects of competency-based grading, eliminating zeros from the gradebook, and encouraging and rewarding growth over time.

The school said the teachers will make grading improvements that reflect our core beliefs.

So what they're doing, a teacher may unintentionally let non-academic factors like student behavior or whether a student showed up to a virtual class or anything like that will interfere with their final evaluation of schools.

Showing up to class is

a non-academic bias.

That's a personal bias.

Oh, it's a possibility.

I thought you were supposed to show up to class throughout school, like the entire time.

But that was just, I was doing that because because I had made personal choices to go.

Chicago schools have now had segregated field trips in a year that was the battleground for teachers' unions making demands about how and when school systems return to in-person learning.

So they've got this great thing that

you're going to be graded on a curve based on your race.

So if you are white,

your curve, you get a lower lower grade.

And if you're black or Hispanic, definitely not Asian, you get a higher grade

because

what?

Black people can't do things?

Is that what you're saying?

Seems to be what they're saying.

America,

you have to wake up soon on who the racist is.

who is just lowering standards so they can have just a bunch of slaves can't read or write or think?

That is the grooming in our schools.

Back in a minute.

Tonight is one of the more important shows that I've done in a while.

This is up there with the impeachment, if you really wanted to understand that, and ESG.

And when I say your kids are being groomed, what are they being groomed for?

Well, think of all the things that are wrong in our country right now.

We have food shortages.

And believe me, please,

please, you know, my grandfather taught me in the Depression, if we would have only known what the rich were doing,

we would have done it and

we would have survived.

And if we had money going into the depression, it was easier to survive.

I talked to people.

I spent the weekend with

at a dinner with a bunch of people who were hundred millionaires and billionaires.

And I just sat there, you know, like a, like a, you know, a

bump on the log.

And I just said to them, so what do you think is coming our way?

And what do we do?

Please, there's an opportunity for you to hear what rich people are doing, but you have to do it if you believe it

because they are living a different life right now.

They are doing different things.

There's an undersupply of labor, housing and commodities, a coming energy crisis.

We're about to have, you know, real food shortages.

Our homes starved of energy, cars starved of fuel.

How can this get worse?

It is going to get worse.

The Build Back Better bill was stalled, but that didn't stop them.

Plans were set in motion within the government during the final final days of the Trump administration.

He had nothing to do with it.

Tonight, I'm going to show you what government agencies are doing.

Hello, Stu.

Glenn, how are you?

Good.

How are you?

Oh, good.

You seem a little down today, I feel like.

Not down, I'm pensive.

Pensive?

Pensive.

Yes.

I don't know.

I seem...

There's more than pensive going on, I feel like with you.

It's just,

you know,

I've got a lot to talk about on the economy today, a lot

that people really need to

understand.

I have to convince my wife now to take what remaining money we have in the stock market out of the stock market while it's up

today.

And I, you know, I just

there's just a lot going on, just a lot going on when it comes to,

you know, the

economy and inflation.

And I don't think people understand yet.

This is just beginning.

Just beginning.

You know,

Jenna Yellen said, oh, you know, I was the whoops, whoopsie, got that one wrong.

First I said it wasn't, there was no inflation.

Then I said it was nothing to worry about.

Then I said it was transitory.

Then I said,

okay, there's some inflation.

And now I go, dear mother of God, what have we done?

Jeez.

Did you see this clip?

I think it's,

I should know.

Of course, it is Peter Doocy because he's the only one who ever asks any difficult questions

to the spokes White House spokesperson.

But the new White House spokesperson, which

we should know, it is Pride Month.

And this spokesperson happens to be

LGBTQ2IA plus,

et cetera.

That is so good.

And it's so important for you to know that in this particular month of Pride Month.

Yeah, no, it is.

I mean, she totally would have been hired if she was not LGBTQ

A2 Plus.

No, I don't think so.

No, I mean, 100%.

Definitely the best person from the job, independent of her sexuality or color of her skin.

Yeah.

It has nothing to do with that.

You just independently, this is the best person in America to just has the mastery of every issue.

Now, yeah, sure, she has to look down and read every single answer to every question, but

that has nothing to do with it.

It's just individual mastery of this material.

That's the reason she has this job.

Yeah.

And she was asked by Peter Doocy.

I know Vladimir Putin is most of this inflation, but is any of it your responsibility?

Hey God, listen to this.

Here it is.

Issue.

And you just mentioned Putin a few times as a reason for recent inflation.

Do you guys think that any part of inflation this year is because of President Biden's spending plans?

Or is it all Putin's fault?

Well, what I can say is we are, and Brian just spoke to this, we are at a historic place when it comes to the economy.

Oh, it's historic.

When it comes to unemployment being at the lowest that we have seen in some time.

When it comes to the president creating more jobs in his first term, his first year, than any other president.

Because no one was going to work.

Everything was closed down.

We told you, you can pause it.

We told you, hey, guys, you're not allowed to go to work.

All of the businesses need to close.

And now he's adding jobs like crazy from that compared to that era where people were literally not allowed by their employer to come to work,

where demand was depressed artificially in a way that we've never

seen in world history.

But let's take credit for that after arguing for the closings.

Now let's take credit for the eventual openings.

By the way, so you know, they're back in front of the courts arguing for the mask mandates to come back.

Oh, God.

Okay, so they just announced that yesterday.

I don't know if anybody saw this from the CBO,

which is always wrong.

Always wrong when it comes to spending.

Then they're always right when they're like, dear mother of God, what's happened?

Okay?

The Congressional Budget Office has just confirmed that President Joe Biden is blameworthy for the record-high inflation that is punishing workers.

Further, this nonpartisan source says that Biden's preferred fix, raising taxes, will only make the economy worse.

The CBO's annual economic outlook adds further force to the arguments against Biden made by other Democrats, such as former President Barack Obama's National Economic Council Director Larry Summers.

The CBO squarely blames Biden's 2021 COVID stimulus package for today's high inflation.

The CBO noticed, or noted, that the stimulus checks were sent to every family and it significantly boosted demand, causing inflationary pressure on its own.

But there's more.

By paying workers not to work, Biden's COVID stimulus artificially slowed the recovery of labor force participation.

So in other words, it's not the jobs he created, it's the jobs he stopped from being created.

This lack of workers strains supply chains, thus providing a second source of upward pressure on prices.

The CBO predicts that this Biden-caused inflation will persist into the next year, tempered only by the Federal Reserve's willingness to raise interest rates.

And what does that do?

What does raising the interest rate stops you from buying a house.

It stops companies from taking out loans.

It stops people out stopping taking loans to start a new business.

So that's their solution, gang.

Biden also wants to make the economic situation worse, this according to the CBO, by repealing the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Speaking of which, the CBO is reporting that former President Donald Trump's signature tax bill had been a boon to both the economy and to the government coffers.

According to the CBO, federal corporate income tax collections in 2017, before the rate cut, came in at $297 billion.

By 2021, they had jumped to $372 billion, a 25%

increase in taxes being delivered to the IRS

in just four years,

which significantly outpaces inflationary growth and amounts to a larger percentage of the overall economy.

Tax cuts.

generated more tax revenue for the IRS.

This is something we've talked about since about 2004.

That's long before that.

I mean this program.

Right.

I mean,

and this happens.

This has happened, by the way, within a few years of every single tax cut.

Every single one of them.

And what the left will do and the media will do will say, well, if you would have kept the tax rates higher, you would have even more.

No, you wouldn't.

You might.

But like, you wouldn't.

Our goal is not to fund the government to levels

never before seen.

That should not be our goal as a society.

Our goal isn't to give more money and more power to the government so we can have less.

That is not our goal.

You know, the fact that the government is taking in more dollars than it was a few years ago before the tax cut should show all of this panic that is constantly out there about tax cuts is fraudulent.

This occurs every single time.

All the times this thing happens.

And yet every time there's a tax cut, we're told that we're going to run out of money, that we're going, we're not.

We have a spending problem in this country, not a revenue problem.

And, you know, it's funny, Glenn, when they went through COVID, we spent multiple trillions of dollars because we told everyone they had to be home.

And

even with all that spending, there was a belief among a lot of economists that it wouldn't be this bad, right?

It wasn't until Biden

decided to spend spend $1.9 trillion more dollars after COVID, the worst of COVID had passed, and people were coming back to work, and demand was already showing that it was already ramping up.

He then, after that, decided to spend $1.9 trillion

and another trillion on infrastructure, by the way, which the Republicans are just as much to blame as Biden is for at least that chunk of it.

And that is what has really fueled this inflationary period beyond what might have been expected from a real catastrophe.

Here's what I want you to know.

Listen carefully to me, please.

Can you imagine paying a dollar per egg, $12

a dozen?

If you can't imagine it, wait a few months because this is what is happening.

The USDA is now starting to predict

overwhelming price increases.

The highest predicted change in food costs in well over 40 years.

The USDA is now warning in their revised May food price outlook

that

things are grim.

Here it is.

First wave was December and January.

Wave two, March, April inflation.

However, there is data now that there is a third wave and it is double the prior two waves.

The USDA predicts egg prices will increase by 19 to 20 percent from where they are right now.

They also say there will be regions with much higher retail increases than that.

Two months ago, USDA had egg inflation at 2.5 or 3.5 year over year.

So they've moved it from the high of 3.5 to a forward outlook of 20.5.

Food at home, grocery store prices up 7% to 8% in the monthly review versus the April outlook of a rise of 5% to 6%.

So

when they say prices are going up,

prices rose 8.1%,

and there is no reason to think that the forecast will not rise again.

If you look at the prices at the supermarket and how it's increased in the last six months, the USDA is now saying, double that, and that's what you're looking for late this fall.

This is going to, we're going to have serious problems, serious problems, because how do you even get to the grocery store if gas is $7 a gallon?

How do people get from their farm into town

at $7 a gallon?

This is all a manufactured crisis.

This is all because of what the government is doing.

To quote Barack Obama, your prices will necessarily go up.

I believe the term was skyrocketed.

Thank you.

This is a well-laid plan.

And I will show you why they're doing it tonight, because I'll show you.

The second wave of control that is just around the corner.

And the foundations are already laid.

It's already in.

So why would you need all of this infrastructure?

Why would FEMA need to go from a react to a crisis to a prevent a crisis organization?

Huh.

And what does that even mean?

And did you vote for it?

Did you know it was happening?

The Glenn Back Program

is a great story about what we were just talking about in the conservative treehouse.

I'm going to tweet it out here in a second.

USDA raises food price forecast highest level in 42 years.

And I think it's something that you need to read

and know.

And it has a couple of really good pieces of advice.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Hello America, welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Well what is going on with our banks and investment?

Up in Canada, the Scotiabank has now apologized to those that had frustration and inconvenience because they froze the bank accounts if you were connected to the Freedom Convoy.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the frustration and inconvenience this situation may have caused, and thank you for your patience while we prepared our response.

This is a letter that has just gone out.

They're apologizing now.

For did they want to do that?

Did they volunteer?

Were they forced to do that?

Our money is being manipulated and used against us.

Quite Quite a charge to make,

but Daniel Cameron, the Kentucky Attorney General, can go into ESG and stakeholder capitalism and how they're using our money to do things you didn't vote for and it's actually costing you.

60 seconds.

We'll talk to him.

Let's say you wanted a child to build a kitchen table.

Okay, I mean, assuming you know what you're doing, the first thing you would have to do is gather the proper tools so they could do the job right.

Then you'd have to teach them, right?

Okay, there's a book from the Tuttle Twins that I want you to have for free.

They're giving it away while supplies last.

All you pay for is shipping called the Tuttle Twins and their amazing show business.

It doesn't teach your kids how to make a table.

That's just the cost of shipping for Tuttle Twins and their spectacular show business at tuttletwinsbeck.com.

Daniel Cameron is joining us now.

He's the Kentucky Attorney General, the 51st Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

He's the first African-American independently elected to statewide office in Kentucky's history and the first Republican elected to the Attorney General's office since 1948.

Daniel, welcome to the program.

How are you?

I'm doing well, Glenn.

Thank you so much for having me on this morning.

Thank you for everything that you're doing.

You're one of these attorney generals that are taking ESG very seriously.

And you say that stakeholder capitalism, environmental, social, and governance investment practices actually violate the laws of Kentucky, right?

Yeah,

Glenn, that's right.

It is inconsistent with state law.

And honestly, I think if you look at our law or if you even look at some of the

language in ERISA itself,

the requirement of investors regarding pension systems here in the Commonwealth indicate that the way that the investments are supposed to work is that they are solely to bring and bring money for

the beneficiary.

And so that is the sole mission and purpose of an investment.

And so when you see things like ESG that

are ancillary interests and could have a

consequential negative impact on the investments of teachers, firefighters, law enforcement, other state public employees, that's something that as AG of Kentucky, I'm going to stand up against and

make sure that folks here in the Commonwealth know that we're going to be watching this very closely to ensure that the investment practices are done in a way that is solely for the benefit of the beneficiary as opposed to some of these ancillary interests related to ESG.

If I'm not mistaken, a study just came out last week or the week before that showed that the ESG funds, many of them, are performing under the market.

And

one of the big,

it may have been BlackRock, I'm not sure which one, but one of the big funds came out and said, yeah, well, I mean, for a while, you are going to make less money, fewer returns on your investment.

But in the long run, it's the right thing to do and it'll pay off.

That's not, you can't do that.

Glenn,

I mean, you're exactly right.

You think about the folks sitting at their dinner table who have worked in, here in Kentucky at least, in state government or have served as teachers or firefighters or law enforcement.

They don't want to hear that

their

investments, their pensions might take a hit because somebody in New York at some asset management firm wants to figure out a way to include ESG in their

financial strategy.

That just is not something that's going to sit well with folks here in Kentucky, and I dare say, not going to sit well with a lot of your listeners.

They want sound financial investments that are based on the sole responsibility of looking out for the beneficiary rather than environmental, social, and governance type strategies that, again, are not specific to making money for the beneficiary.

And it's, you know, another problem with this is people don't understand it's because of ESG we are having these gasoline prices.

We're having the fuel fuel shortages because the ESG investors are taking our state funds.

You know, every union that has the funds, the pension funds, that all is going into investment.

Most of it is going to places like BlackRock, and they won't invest in coal

or petrochemicals.

Well,

you know,

when you run out of money, you run out of gas and fuel.

Yeah, that's right.

I mean, I've talked to a lot of

fossil fuels, natural gas, and coal companies that say that on the open market, it's hard for them to find financing.

And it's because

these

index funds or these asset managers are using other people's money.

I mean, let's call it what it is.

They're not using their own money.

They're using other people's money.

retirees' money.

They're using folks that have been working in state government and state systems.

Again, teachers, law enforcement, they're using their money to make these decisions.

And, you know, your listeners and folks here at home don't necessarily know this.

And so one of the reasons we wanted to issue this opinion

and we were asked to issue this opinion is to put a spotlight on it so that, and look, this is whether it's in this context or other contexts.

The more information people have, the better decisions and informed decisions they can make in terms of where their money is going, how it's being spent.

You're seeing this in so many different contexts and so many different industries.

And that's why I'm obviously honored to be on with you this morning to talk about this, because I think as patriots, as men and women who get up and work every day and want to see a better future for themselves and their children, they don't want their money going to some of these

ideas or strategies that are not aligned with their own values.

And so that's also another reason that we decided to issue this opinion.

You stated in this opinion, investment management firms have publicly committed to coordinating joint action for ESG purposes, such as reducing climate change.

For example, the steering committee at the Glasgow Alliance for Net Zero states: these, quote, the systematic change needed to alter the planet's climate trajectory can only happen if the entire financial system makes ambitious commitments and operationalizes those commitments with near-term action.

Nobody voted for this.

And Glenn, it's to your point earlier, right?

As domestic production of gas and oil goes down, our prices at the pump are going up.

And so the challenge that we are seeing is that this is hurting the pocketbooks of the working men and women of this country.

And again, we, as you all often talk about, have got to stand up and be willing to push back against these notions that are out of line with the majority of the values of the men, women, and children across America.

Okay, so what are you doing as Attorney General?

You say you were asked to release this.

Who asked you to do that?

So our state treasurer, Allison Ball,

asked us because she had concerns as well about

how is our

process here in Kentucky.

Are we to be

single-minded in making sure that the beneficiaries,

that their money or the money that they put into the system,

that the investments themselves mirror or make sure that

those dollars can be maximized as opposed to taking some sort of hit because of these ESG goals.

So she asked us to look into this.

Obviously, as it relates to any single investment, that's a fact-intensive inquiry.

So if we are asked to conduct any sort of investigation, we'd have to

take a fine-tooth comb, if you will, and look through that analysis.

But we wanted to put a marker down.

We wanted to put a flag in the sand to say this cannot be a process

that is jeopardized in Kentucky when it comes to making money for our beneficiaries.

That process cannot be jeopardized by these ESG approaches.

So the three biggest

firms that are involved have, I mean, trillions of dollars.

They most likely have some Kentucky money in it.

Are you going

after those?

Are you taking those out or looking?

Is she looking at individual firms that are ESG-based?

So we wanted to empower

our pension boards, if you will, our trustees, to have this information so that they can can make wise decisions moving forward on what our investments look like and to

scrutinize those closely and report back to us if there's anything that we need to be undertaking in terms of investigating any of the actions of the asset managers.

Real quick, could you just talk to other attorney generals in other states that may not be pursuing something like this and to the American people on how important this is, how dangerous this is?

Well, I'll I'll say to my colleagues and other attorneys general across the country, this is a big issue.

This is important to the pocketbooks of the working men and women.

Look, I'm a part of a party, the Republican Party, that believes in standing up for the values of the working men and women and the working class folks all across this country.

And I know a lot of my colleagues believe in that.

This is a way to do it, to stand up to these ESG practices that have invaded a lot of the investment strategies across our financial markets.

What I'll say to here, to your listeners and folks back home, is pay attention to this stuff, whether it's

in the financial context or

in

Hollywood or entertainment more broadly.

We've got to be careful about where our dollars are going and what they are funding.

So this is a, again, these ESG practices are things that are an investment strategy that is using your money.

Let's be clear on that.

It's not using

the leaders of these investment funds.

It's your money that's being used

to finance and fund these

ESG strategies.

And again, I know that's not aligned.

with or in alignment with a lot of the values of the folks across our country.

Thank you so much.

I really appreciate you being attentive to this and being a leader out front.

His name is Daniel Cameron.

He is the Kentucky Attorney General.

Daniel, thank you so much.

God bless.

God bless you, Glenn.

Thanks.

Tonight on television,

I am doing one of those shows that

we were just banned on one social media last week.

because

I

played a clip from a show where we were talking about Hunter Biden's laptop.

And I can guarantee you that everything that I said had been vetted and is true.

Every word was true.

It was banned.

That video was banned from,

I don't remember which one,

but

they did it because they marked it hate speech.

So now talking about Hunter Biden's laptop is hate speech.

No,

it's facts regarding a criminal case.

That's what that is.

Tonight, you'll get about half of what we have on YouTube.

If you watch The Blaze for free on YouTube, you can still watch it, but you'll only get about half of this tonight because

dangerous words are going to be used.

So if you want the whole thing, make sure you are watching at 9 p.m.

But tonight, we talk about the food shortages, baby food shortages, out-of-control inflation, the undersupply of labor, housing, commodities, energy crisis.

What is coming is a crisis.

But that's what the left loves.

Plans were set into motion within our own government during the final days of the Trump administration.

And outside activists have coordinated directly with the Biden team, and they have plotted ways to fundamentally transform this country without congressional approval, without your knowledge.

And Biden has been following that plan.

Most haven't noticed.

Most will never notice.

Government agencies are set.

Global governments just made plans with the help of the Biden administration itself last week to help pull this emergency crisis rush to help

plan that they have.

Tonight, we will tell you all about it and you need to know it because you need to know what is coming.

That way you won't panic when it happens and you won't run into the arms that have created the problems.

Don't miss tonight's special tonight, 9 p.m.

Famine and Blackouts, How Biden-Made Disasters Will Cripple America.

We've seen such amazing growth in the last, I don't know, 18 months or so.

It's been remarkable.

And we thank you for that.

Thank you.

We'd like to ask you for your help on something.

If you listen to the podcast, wherever you get your podcasts, would you

rate and review our podcast?

That is the way people discuss the algorithms.

If there's lots of ratings and reviews, the algorithms, you know, are like, oh,

somebody, everybody's watching this and they're very excited about it.

We have to share it.

So, what I'd like to do is, I'm going to, if you leave us a five-star rating and leave a review, I'm going to read the best reviews on the air.

And now, I'm not looking like it's great or some bullcrap that you would put on Stu's, you podcast.

I want...

I don't know why.

I don't know why I had to be vilified in this.

I want listening to this podcast made me realize I have superpowers and I've been using my x-ray vision ever since because the algorithm doesn't read them.

So

I want reviews that are

epic.

Epic.

And I'll read the best ones on the air.

So go to wherever you get your podcast and rate and review.

So the algorithm will help share this to like-minded people who, for some strange reason, just don't know about our podcast.

Am I right?

Those are bad people.

Communists.

Communist ISIS members.

These bad people, once they realize this show gives you superpowers.

Yeah.

The only way to prove that you're not an ISIS is to leave a review about your superpowers.

I don't want to say that's true, but I don't want to say it's not true either.

That's a great Great point.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

There is a new

addition.

to our international pandemic regulations that come from the WHO.

They were meeting last week in Davos, and I wanted to bring somebody on who has really been following this, Daniel Horowitz.

He's a Blaze podcast host, conservative review and senior editor for theblaze.com.

Daniel, how are you, sir?

We are doing all right, even in this perilous time.

Yeah, boy.

I'll tell you, I'm doing a show tonight, Daniel, on all of the things that are happening, and I don't even think we touch, we might touch on the WHO

and what they're doing, but that's not our main focus.

Everything is being lined up for an emergency.

And when that emergency is announced, you got nothing.

There's no freedom anywhere.

Can you talk to us about the WHO?

and what they did with their new health policy.

Sure.

There's actually a lot of positive news and uncanny news as well, in which the East and the West have been mixed up in our lifetime.

So essentially, to go over this, the Biden administration submitted 13 amendments, this international health regulations, that taken together would serve to cancel out all of the requirements to consult with the host country before declaring a public health emergency in that region.

Hang on just a second.

That wouldn't be ⁇ that's when you say the authority, that's ⁇ they don't ⁇ the WHO

would not have to talk to our president or Canada's prime minister or anybody else if they wanted to declare a health emergency in the United States or Canada.

Exactly.

That's crazy.

crossed out in the language of the existing international health regulations by the Biden administration.

If you remember, they did it quietly, no press release, no press conference.

It was discovered three months later.

But we had the most unusual results.

Most of my lifetime, I'm used to criticizing the UN and similar organizations because of tinpot third world dictators.

And we're like, man, you know, this is run by the third world.

We need to pull out of it.

But here's what's happening now.

We have become the communists.

So it's the United States, Canada, and Australia really pushed it.

All of the countries we would consider as the Western democratic nations pushed for it, but they were ultimately scuttled.

Why?

Because 47 African nations led by Botswana, along with India, Brazil, and Russia, said, hey, we don't want a part of this.

We're concerned about this.

We're concerned about the rush timeline of this.

So it was ultimately voted down because of the third world countries.

But it was emphatically pushed by the Western countries.

That is incredible.

Just incredible.

So how is the West going to get it done anyway?

You know,

it's weird.

They just don't take no for an answer.

They just find another way to do it.

I think what we've learned from the last two years is we're not governed by the rule of law.

We're governed by the rule of political will.

And whoever wields it and controls it wins.

Unfortunately, that's where we are.

So it's not a matter of a formal treaty or even some sort of international regulation.

It's funny, the fact-checkers were all over us saying, well, the WHO can't force you to do anything.

Well, yeah, that's why I was saying states need to preemptively just say we're not doing it.

But

the reason why I drew attention to this is because it demonstrated the intent of the Biden administration.

I'm more concerned about them than the WHO.

So, but

you were hit by factcheck.org,

the who has no authority to dictate U.S.

health policy.

And in fact,

because you're the

editor-in-chief of the Blaze,

you were hit, the Blaze was hit by Facebook

when they said, no, this is not true, because SciCheck Digest says it's not true.

It's kind of like the Amelia Bedelia books I read to my kids.

Right.

And they do this on purpose.

They take this hyper-literalist approach when you raise a political concern, hey, why is the Biden administration truncating all the timelines for approval as well as

vitiating any requirement to consult with the host nation in order to declare a public health emergency?

And they're like, well, WHO can't do anything to you anyway.

Well, yeah, I mean, that's why we're saying we need to stand up to that.

But the broader point is that it demonstrates that the Biden administration is not done with this.

They're not done with COVID.

It's not like they're moving on to gun control or other things.

I mean, they might be doing that as well, but they see this as a permanent, great reset, and they want to codify this permanently.

So whether it's in a WHO regulation or not, this is what they plan to do domestically.

And certainly when you start hearing about monkeypox and the next thing, and the pediatric hepatitis pandemic they're talking about, you definitely know that lockdowns, masks, forced therapeutics, they're not done with that.

Yeah, in fact, one of the articles I was reading earlier this morning as I prepared for this interview was

the fact that the defenders of this are saying this is not, you know, this is

not some crazy idea.

Let me read part of it.

Global pandemic response had relatively little coordination, little unity.

In fact, it was more like 1983 and 2009's TV miniseries V, where politicians, personalities, social media accounts, and others seemed like they were actually trying to help the enemy.

In this case, the COVID-19.

That allowed the virus to kill over 6.27 million people and counting.

That's why the World Health Organization is discussing the global pandemic treaty at the upcoming 75th World Health Assembly.

Yet, some celebrities, a bunch of social media accounts have been trying to, guess what, argue against such a treaty.

Yeah, having no global agreement in place before the next pandemic is going to work out well, right?

So it goes into how screwed up the response was.

And if the WHO would have just had authority to make sure everybody was doing the same thing and the right thing, how many lives could have been saved?

But we know the WHO was incompetent itself.

Well, what's remarkable about all of this is that they never take ownership for the results of their incumbency.

We were not in control.

I can tell you that much.

We yelped about it for two years, but no one listened to us.

You had some isolated areas that over time moved away from these policies.

But for the most part, whether it was formally coordinated or not, which it's hard to tell,

nearly every corner of the world coalesced around closing schools, around masking, around mass vaccination, around denying treatment.

It's funny, like you look at the denial of the hydroxyen ivermectin in America.

I mean, that occurred in almost every corner of the world.

So they got what they wanted, and yet we have six times more cases now, even though it's kind of offseason in the summer, than we did this time in late May, early June of 2021, even though all the vulnerable people have at least three, if not four, shots, and it keeps going and going and going.

They never take ownership for their policies.

They act as if no one's vaccinated, as if we didn't try all these things, and as if somehow we were in power, we had zero control over that.

So in fact, they actually did this.

I think what they're saying is that they want more like the Shanghai type of response

time, and that's what they're working on.

So because they say that another pandemic is right around the corner, it used to be a hundred-year pandemic.

Now it's another one.

It's right around the corner, and we have to have

all of these things to be able to control.

Daniel, do you think that this is why the Biden administration is back in court trying to force people on airplanes to wear masks again?

There's no question.

I think people think that the masks have been repudiated.

And they have been with the scientific literature.

We're actually seeing evidence of negative correlation with outcomes.

Certainly, obviously, carbon dioxide problems and many other language development problems with children are unbelievable.

The U.K.

Education Department is openly talking about that.

But it hasn't been repudiated politically.

And I'm seeing even places like Lincoln, Nebraska school districts bringing it back.

Some places never got rid of it.

You still have disabled people that have to wear it when they go to their numerous

medical appointments.

So this is not even over with yet.

They absolutely want to continue it.

And I think it's funny when you look at

Justin Trudeau, he announced his new gun control measure this this week.

They were all standing around wearing masks while announcing that.

I think it's a very powerful tool of control and submission.

They absolutely do not want to let go.

And there's very few states so far that have banned them.

A few of them have.

New Hampshire legislature did, but the Rhino governor just vetoed it.

I mean,

we have our work cut out for us.

I think too many of us are moving on to the next issue because, unfortunately, there are so many issues, but this is not done yet.

The senior editor for theblaze.com and host of the Conservative Review podcast, Daniel Horowitz.

Daniel, thank you as always.

You know, he wrote about this and he wrote about it accurately.

The one thing about Daniel is he is,

he pays a lot of attention to the details and makes sure that he gets it exactly right.

And this has hurt our Facebook pages, our social media, because they said that he was lying.

He's not lying.

That is what he wrote is absolutely true.

Now, they say we're not going to lose our sovereignty, but

really?

You can't speak about things.

Isn't that a loss of personal sovereignty, a loss of freedom of speech?

Don't listen to these people anymore.

They are dangerous.

And they're going to become more dangerous as we get closer and closer to the next real emergency.

And that emergency is going to be fuel,

any kind of energy, and food.

And it will be here by the fall.

Make sure you're prepared.

Tonight, I'm going to show you on my Wednesday night TV show the disasters that are coming.

And they are Biden-made disasters and how they will cripple us and what the administration in the bureaucracy is already laying the foundation for.

Because they're not only just creating it, they have a solution.

for those problems.

And I don't think you're going to like them.

And you didn't vote for any of them.

Tonight, famine and blackouts, 9 p.m.

It was unsettling.

Yeah, George Bernard Shaw.

But he's respected and loved.

So I'll get in trouble for saying that.

But he, of course, is beloved.

Anyway,

people need to keep their stuff.

You need to keep your stuff.

And one of the things, the only thing really that you own is your word, your integrity, and your name.

Well, that's what cyber criminals are after.

All of that.

Your integrity, your name.

And they get it through your name, your address, your social security numbers, your passwords.

And they're all floating around in the ether someplace online.

And there are places that gather all of them and match them.

And then people like cyber criminals can just buy them and then drain everything from you.

Well, we've got a couple of things coming up next hour.

We have Joe Biden on handguns.

He doesn't support a ban on all handguns.

I mean, you can get one of those old-timey, you know, cowboy guns.

He's fine with that.

Although, who really needs six bullets?

Seriously?

Well, we know Canada has limited

all guns to only having five bullets.

Okay, so that gets rid of the six shooter, too.

That's too much.

Wow, that's too much.

You never need that many.

No.

One, really.

So when you're in, you know, the state-run prison, you can kill yourself.

yourself.

Really?

That's the only gun you need.

Yeah, it's the only gun you need.

And

we have somebody famous from the sports world that, you know,

I doubt.

Have you ever heard of this?

Have I ever heard?

What?

Yes, of course I've heard of.

Really?

Have you?

You've heard of Jonathan Isaac.

Yes.

Very much so.

Yes.

I know you don't know anything about sports.

Well, you know about Jonathan Isaac from his, his, what he's going to be here to talk about today, his new book, which is talking about why he stood up against the mob over and over again?

I love it for that, but

I mean, you know, is he really in the NBA?

Is he a good player?

Oh, yeah, he's legit.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

He's a really good player.

And I know you don't know literally anything about sports.

No, nothing.

Nothing.

But NBA, that's the one with a little white ball.

No?

No.

Well, that's definitely not.

That's hockey.

Yeah, anyway.

Yeah, that's

you're right.

That's hockey.

Yeah.

Jonathan Isaac is,

well, it is a little white ball, okay?

Because I don't use black pucks because I'm not racist.

I'm not having a bunch of white Russians skate around, you know, hitting something black and make it slam into a wall.

No, sir.

No, not me.

That's you, racist.

It's a new day of time to rise.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glen Beck program.

So, Michael Sussman was acquitted yesterday.

What a surprise!

I mean, you know, you had two donors to Clinton on the jury.

I think you had a Bernie Sanders person.

The judge's wife was friends with the two lovebirds that were texting, sexting one another.

That was great.

I mean, what could have gone wrong there?

But what does that mean?

Does it?

I mean, because it was it was clear what happened, and it was clear that the media was involved, and Hillary Clinton herself was involved.

So is this the end of the Durham investigation?

Is this all we got?

We go to somebody who has been following this and knows the answers to that question and many others, Sean Davis from the Federalist in 60 Seconds.

So Jamie wrote in about her experience with the Relief Factory.

She said, said, my husband and I both started using Relief Factor, and we were pleasantly surprised at the results.

We had minor aches and pains.

I had problems with my knee that just wasn't improving.

And after about two weeks of taking Relief Factor, we began to see wonderful reductions in pain.

She writes, my knee is no longer in stabbing pain all the time.

We won't go without it.

It's Relief Factor.

Please just try it, see if it works for you.

Three-week quick start developed for you, $19.95.

It's a dollar a day.

It's a trial pack.

Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor.

About 70% of them go on to order more.

It's relief factor.com or call 1-800-4 Relief, 1-800-4 Relief, or get the 1995 three-week quickstart developed just for you.

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

Relief Factor.

Feel the difference.

Sean Davis from the Federalists, the CEO and co-founder, co-founder,

is joining us now.

Sean, I saw this and I wasn't surprised by the acquittal just because of the jury, but I don't really know exactly what does that mean?

I mean, it implicated Clinton

and the media, but are we done now?

Well, I think we're probably done with running cases in the District of Columbia where the jury clearly did nullification, which is they basically don't even listen to the facts.

They decided coming in, they didn't like the case, and that was going to be it.

So, I think if you actually want convictions,

that case has to be the end of bringing indictments into DC because it's similar to what you see in elections in North Korea or Iraq, where the dictator gets 99% of the vote.

It's obscene.

And it was weird.

I mean, you had one juror come out and say, so what if he lied to the FBI?

Everybody does it.

There are bigger crimes.

Than lying to the FBI,

really, when you're talking about the future of our country and corruption and trying to take out a seated president?

Really?

I mean,

compare that to the Michael Flynn trial.

Recall that Michael Flynn was completely set up, that his name was leaked in order to destroy him and the Trump administration early on in the presidency.

And when evidence came out that he was completely set up, that he didn't lie, and that the DOJ and the prosecutors themselves said there's no case here, a corrupt judge in the D.C.

district court said, no, actually, I'm not going to let you pull these charges.

So compare that to what just happened with this DNC lawyer.

And it tells you everything you need to know about the so-called justice system

when it comes to political people in D.C.

It doesn't exist.

I mean, I really didn't think it would even make it to court.

I didn't didn't even think about the court being so screwed up.

You know, I didn't think about the D.C.

court.

And it's, I mean,

that was just a blow.

I knew it was coming because,

you know, once I saw the jury selection, I was,

there's no way this is going to go anywhere.

Now, tell me what it means going forward.

Anything?

Going forward.

Oh, absolutely.

I think we learned so much from how Durham prosecuted this.

We learned, for example, that Hillary Greenlit that entire completely bogus Alphabank hoax against Trump during the 2016 election.

We learned a lot of additional information in there.

And I think just reading the tea leaves, and of course I could be wrong, Durham is building a much, much bigger case.

And I think the whole Alphabank thing with Sussman lying about it.

show just how completely corrupt the FBI and the media are.

They were working together.

They were sharing information.

They were seeding things with each other to do this sort of circular confirmation thing.

I think we're going to get a lot more about how the entire Russiagate investigation launched by the FBI against Trump in 2016 was itself a hoax from the beginning.

From the beginning.

So I expect that Durham will unravel that, but we'll see.

Okay, so, you know, my speculation was at the very beginning that he was hoping that Sussman would turn

and he could get the things that he needed from him as he would turn on

the Clinton campaign.

He didn't turn, but he did,

I mean, he gave all that information in the end anyway.

It all came out in the end.

So was this originally just

a foundation laying case and a search for the truth that Sussman couldn't get out of people in his investigation?

Well, it could be because we actually,

or not, we, Durham was able to get access to a whole bunch of emails he didn't have previously that the DNC and Hillary Campaign and Fusion GPS were all pretending were privileged communications with their attorneys.

Durham was able to significantly pierce that during the trial.

And to me, kind of the foundation goes back to when that Inspector General report came out from the Department of Justice IG.

And in that report, the IG said, oh, there's no evidence the Russia thing was political and it was legally predicated.

And on that day, Durham himself came out and issued a statement that he, based on his review of the evidence, didn't think that was true.

We've not really heard anything about that since that day, I think at the end of 2019.

And I believe that is where we're going to end up.

We are going to find out what exactly started this bogus investigation.

So,

do you know yet, as Durham telegraphed at all, what comes next?

Well, we have now he hasn't telegraphed it.

We have another indictment sitting out of Igor Danchenko, who is the so-called primary subsource for all of the nonsensical lies peddled by Christopher Steele and his dossier against Trump.

This guy is

a Russian national living in the U.S.,

used to work at Brookings, Shocker, who had peddled all sorts of nonsense, including that infamous videotape that didn't exist of Trump in a hotel in Moscow.

So that trial is still upcoming, and that trial is being held in Virginia.

So I think that'll be a different,

that'll play out differently than the D.C.

case against Sussman.

Yeah, I mean, if you've been watching what's happening in the Northern Virginia School District, I'm not sure it's that different.

But, you know, maybe, maybe this time will be different.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate you

watching this.

If you had to pull one thing that everybody should get out of this, it is

that if people at the FBI don't go to prison for this, the rule of law in this country is dead.

I hate to say I agree with you.

Thank you so much, Sean.

I appreciate it.

Sean Davis, CEO and co-founder, you bet, of the Federalist.

I mean, that was the gut punch yesterday.

I expected it to happen,

but

that was the real gut punch.

And then it was followed by the juror that said, you know, what's the big deal lying to the FBI?

What's the big deal?

I mean,

first in the 90s, it was, you know, so he lied about sex.

He's married.

It's no big deal.

Okay, well, you don't lie to the FBI.

You don't lie under oath.

But it was just about sex.

It was nothing important.

This is about taking down the President of the United States.

This is about using the full force and image

of the Justice Department and everything else to stand against and mount a campaign against a sitting president.

That's not just about having sex.

But now the same group of people with the Clintons involved again.

Lying doesn't really matter.

It doesn't.

It doesn't seem to matter.

Other than that, though,

what's going on here?

It doesn't seem like that big of a deal when you explain it that way.

It's just about taking down a president.

Yeah, that's it.

And look, we all know that there are all sorts of, you know,

awful things that happen in the backgrounds of campaigns.

All right.

I mean, we all know that people leak information, they do opposition research.

They're not available office because someone tried to hack in at the time.

It was physical because you couldn't hack in.

tried to get information uh from the democratic you know office in washington dc there was nothing of value there yeah but nixon and then they didn't continue to spy and you know any of that stuff he left office

because he was going to be impeached for doing that You can't even get a low-level attorney

in trouble for lying to the FBI about a bogus thing that just didn't happen just before the election.

It ran during his current

his presidency.

They didn't stop.

The Nixon thing was another time, right?

And one, I think, I mean, you've told the story many times of your dad, right?

Yeah.

Around the Nixon time saying that it changed everything.

And maybe it was.

part of the thing that got the ball rolling on this in the wrong direction.

In the wrong direction, it did, because that's why everybody went to journalism school.

All the people who are at the head now, they all went to journalism school because they saw that two reporters could topple a president.

And they learned the wrong lesson.

They now think that they can topple any president because they don't like him.

And like,

as I was saying, we all know.

Terrible people are involved in these campaigns all the time.

They're people that are that, you know, some of them are fine.

Most, a lot of them are terrible.

It's just a terrible industry.

It's created with

people who

want to just destroy others.

Like literally their job is to destroy the lives of other people as you go through these campaigns.

Many of the strategists are on this.

And that's part of the reason why I'm less,

I don't know, activated, interested, riveted by what happens to the Clintons themselves as I am to what the media did with all this information and how they handled it.

I mean, they took this information from them.

They told us it was true.

They also tried to destroy a president and many, many people's lives, including low-level underlings of Trump.

We've talked to several of them.

And there has never been a moment where they said, holy crap, we got that one wrong.

Hey, wow,

we thought Donald Trump was really bad.

Therefore, we jumped the gun on this.

We believed all the bad stuff, and that's that's our fault.

And here's what we're going to do in the future to correct it.

Yeah, no, they don't think they made a mistake.

No, you know, it's not one family or one group of shady candidates.

And I never thought the Clinton's going to die rich and unhappy.

And

that's enough for me.

They are, they're never going to go to jail.

Anyone who thinks they are, you're sadly mistaken.

They're never going to go to jail.

I didn't expect that.

But the fact that the FBI gets away with it

and the media gets away with it in collusion with the Clintons is insane.

What have you taught

attorneys?

What have you taught campaigns?

As long as you're on the right side of the FBI, they'll help you.

That's not good.

Not good.

All right.

Real estate agents, I trust.

If you've noticed that when you do the job right the first time, you don't have the hassle of doing it over and over again.

You know what I mean?

Comes to buying and selling homes, especially in the current market, truer words have never been spoken.

That's why you need the top of the line when it comes to a real estate agent.

A number of years ago, I formed a country, a country, I wish, a company called Real Estate Agents I Trust, and it exists as a free service to you.

They know the best practices.

They're the best real estate agent, in our opinion, in your area.

Somebody who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer.

So, if you're thinking about buying or selling a house, maybe you're selling a house and moving across the street or across the country, we have agents that you need to talk to.

Realestateagents I trust.com is a free service to you.

The name says it all: realestate agents I trust.com.

Go there now.

10-second station ID.

Okay, so the White House yesterday made it very clear that

the president has no intention of banning all handguns.

Oh, okay.

Well,

whoo, that's good, right?

And they're having meetings now with some of the tippity top Republicans who I trust

to come up with some common sense

handgun controls and

controls.

And what they've come up with are

eight names of eight acts.

They want to, and they're all good.

The Raise the Age Act.

Oh my gosh.

That's great.

Prevent the Gun Trafficking Act.

The Untraceable Firearms Act.

Oh.

The Ethan's Law.

Ethan's Law.

The Safe Gun Safe Kids Act.

I like Safe Kids.

Do you like Kimberly Kimberly Vaughan?

Because she has a Firearm Safe Storage Act.

Yes, I sure do.

We're going to close the Bump Stock Loophole Act.

Yes, wait, wait.

And this one.

The loophole is a good one, word for that because you can do...

You can fire like a bump stock with your belt loop.

Oh, I like that.

That's why I told you.

I was just getting so excited and patriotic about the Keep Americans Safe Act.

Ah.

Oh, thank goodness.

We have all of those.

Wonderful.

And it's going to

help us out a lot.

Now, there was.

Can I say, tell you a little conversation I had recently with a friend who is conservative.

Yeah.

A conservative who is not a big gun person.

Yeah.

And, you know, and follows the news, but is not like listening to every single broadcast and following the details.

And as they went through, they were like, oh, Biden sucks.

And, you know, all this gun stuff they want to do is crazy.

I mean, why don't they just raise the age to 21?

And why don't they just, you know, I love that one.

Why don't they just have mental health checks on everybody when you're buying a gun?

I'd be fine with it.

I'd go back in every six months and have one if they need to.

Oh, you'd go back in to have a mental health check every six months.

And the reason why I bring the conversation up is because a lot of this stuff.

If you're not in the Second Amendment argument every day, sounds

completely reasonable.

And if it doesn't affect you, which, by the way, it doesn't affect most people.

Most people cannot come up with firearms.

May I come up with some common sense gun laws that I think common sense.

So is I don't know what an adult is anymore.

You're an adult at 26, according to the insurance companies.

Right.

You're an adult, according to the rental car companies, at 25.

Right.

According to the bar, you're 21.

If you want to vote or fight for your country, you're an adult at 18.

So you can have the AR-15

then.

Yeah.

But not.

Okay.

And you can be firing it on a battlefield while being shot at

and vote at the same time.

So that's great.

That is great.

Now, to vote, you don't need an ID.

You can register the day of.

It's no problem.

But if I go into a gas station and I try to buy a beer at a gas station and I look 18 or 20,

they

have to ask you for an ID.

They must

or they will get fined and in trouble.

But the ID, you know, voter ID, please, we don't need it for that.

That's racist to ask for that.

So you need an ID for drinking at a gas station,

but you don't need one for voting.

You definitely need more than an ID to buy a gun.

And then

I would like to ask, if you're serious, okay, you want to raise it to 21?

Great.

Voting, 21.

Military, they can't go in at 18 got to be 21 if you're old enough to shoot and kill in a war you're certainly old enough uh to uh carry a gun yeah yes um and by the way if hollywood really cared because

i see that every time i watch a show it will tell me

sex

violence

and my favorite smoking

kids we can't watch this there's smoking on the screen Smoking.

I love that one.

That's my favorite when it comes up smoking.

I think, really?

That?

You're concerned about smoking?

Of course.

We have to have people stop watching movies because people are smoking and that will encourage other people to smoke.

Hollywood, I will take you seriously on guns

when you ban the use of all guns in all of your movies.

Hollywood should ban guns in the fictional world

before it happens here.

Go ahead, Hollywood.

Why won't you do it?

You ban smoking.

Oh, that kills people.

You say this is the worst plague of all time.

Guns.

America's out of control with that.

The rest of the world agrees with that.

Good.

Then ban all guns.

All guns.

No guns in any of your movies.

Not even with the police.

because I could grow up watching that and thinking, wow, that gun is really cool.

And I, you know, I don't care if it's a police officer.

I want one of them things, and I'm going to get it, and I'm going to smoke at the same time.

Go ahead, Hollywood.

You first.

Ban your rubber guns before you come for mine.

I mean, the least you could do is do it with Alec Baldwin.

All right, it's Porton.

Finally, a sports figure both Stu and I can agree on.

From the Orlando Magic, we have Jonathan Isaac, a great player.

Stu knows everything about him.

I have no idea.

But

I know you because you are the guy who took two stands when it was really not in your best interest to do so.

So welcome.

I'm glad you're here.

Glenn, thank you so much for having me, Stu.

I'm excited to talk with you guys.

Thank you.

So you've just put out the book, Why I Stand.

And

take me through the first stand, which was the flag, right?

Yes, sir.

Everybody

was kneeling, taking a knee for the flag, and you refused to do it.

Yeah, so

there's a lot of backstory and a lot of details that the book offers.

So if you want to get all of it, you got to go get Why I Stand.

But for me, when what happened to George Floyd was obviously tragic and it was obviously terrible.

But what I tried my best to do was take a step back and think, what is the best way for me to respond in this moment?

And looking out, I'm thinking to myself, man, the world needs healing.

And to me, healing is not going to come through a movement.

It's not going to come through an organization, a party, anything like that.

When I looked at my own life, I said, man, my life has been supported, changed, and healed by the gospel of Jesus Christ, the love of Jesus Christ.

And I was saying, man, this is the message that I want to push and this is the message that I want to share in this moment.

And so when I thought about healing, I know that racism and all the things that plague our society are heart issues and they're ultimately spiritual issues.

And I said to myself, you know what?

I can't think of a better message or antidote for these times other than that message.

So I decided to share it.

The one thing I love in your book, you talk about how

you didn't feel, you kind of felt like a fraud.

And it wasn't until you found a relationship with God that you realized, no, no, no,

I have everything I need to be able to succeed and to thrive, right?

Yes, sir, absolutely.

I grew up Christian.

So my parents always had me in the church like every single day.

But as I begin to grow up and just kind of want what the world has to offer and went after it and all the things like that, but I have this great like coming to God moment in the book and stories full of details and just God orchestrating my footsteps and ultimately me coming to understand that God loves me for me.

I don't have to work for it.

I don't have to strive for it.

I don't have to make a basket.

It changes everything, doesn't it?

Yes, sir.

I mean, I was, I was so related to this section of the book because that's the way I was.

And I was very formulaic when I was, I knew what the right thing to do was, you know, to be able to advance a career and everything else.

And it was just, I was just miserable because it wasn't real and I was just covering.

for all the things that I thought I was deficient in, you know.

And when you, for me, I had to have a bad break.

But when you have that God moment and you surrender, oh my gosh, it's crazy great.

It's crazy great.

And to your point about having that like bad break, like I was injured at the time.

And so it's like, if God uses those moments to kind of get our attention and in that he revealed himself to me and I'm like, man, like this is great.

And I've been on this journey of just growing in relationship with him and ultimately to go from a young boy who struggled with anxiety, struggled with fear, self-insecurity to a man that was willing to stand up for what he believes in in these moments and display a form of courage that I hope that everyone can take from the book and internalize and ultimately do the same.

And it is, it's only because,

you know, I think that the what God does for people, a belief in God, is

give you the confidence.

that you need and not an arrogant confidence, but give you the confidence to be able to go in on the basketball court and know, I got this, you know, go anywhere, I got this, and then go into the lion's den and say,

yeah, okay,

I'm not going to kneel.

I'm not going to wear the,

you know, the Black Lives Matter jersey either.

Yes, sir.

And to your point about what God does,

what I was, the message that I was trying to get across in the moment is when you have these times like George Floyd or any tragedy or anything like that, what's so easy for us to do is immediately take the role of the judge and say, This person is awful.

They did this, throw them away, they're terrible.

Um, but what I have seen in my own life is when I was able to look at my own sin, my own shortcomings, my own failures, I was able to sympathize with people who go through the same thing.

And what the what the gospel does is it puts everybody on the same playing field, right?

And it says, We're all in need, yes, we're all needed.

Justice, it is real equity, you know what I mean?

It's we are

when we come here,

we are all equalized, right?

You know, in our own, own, in our own way.

Yes, sir.

In need of a savior.

And so it's pretty much saying like, we, we need to stand up for what we believe in because at the end of the day, I didn't kneel and I didn't wear the t-shirt.

We need to do those things, but at the same time, we do it in love and we render to people what we would have them render to us.

And ultimately, the way God handles us is the right way to handle it.

So what was the result from your teammates?

Yeah, it was.

So

first off, it was a very emotional time.

There were guys on my team who were extremely charged about about the BLM movement and being all in.

And so we had a heated conversation afterwards.

We had a team-only meeting, just the players,

and certain guys, you know, felt the way about it and were upset about the stand that I took.

And we were able to have a conversation and almost leave it at, look, you guys believed in what you were kneeling for, but I believe in what I'm standing for too.

And I respect you guys' decisions and made,

but I expect that same respect and return.

Have those wounds healed?

with everybody on the team?

Well, I think as time has gone on, everyone has been able to kind of breathe a little bit and see kind of the landscape for what it was and to see the way that the organization or people were moving at that time.

It was very angry.

It was very, you know, vitriol, but have been able to take a step back and kind of see some of the things that are going on.

And then you took another controversial stand.

You wouldn't take the COVID vaccine.

No, I didn't.

And that for me was kind of the same trail where it was like, you know what, I need to take a step back, see what's going on because this thing is being forced.

You know, people are losing their jobs.

Medical and religious exemptions are being denied.

This feels fishy to me.

And then we get to the point where the Rolling Stone article drops and they say that I came to my decision by watching Donald Trump press conferences and studying black history.

And that was when I was like, you know what?

On principle,

not saying that the vaccine is terrible and everybody's going to die if they take it, but on principle, this thing hasn't been gone about the right way.

And so I decided not to take it and just be a voice for people who.

I think they would have actually had more people get the vaccine if they hadn't been so creepy about it.

I'd absolutely agree with you.

Yeah, I'd absolutely agree.

I mean, it's just, it was just creepy.

I just agree.

I just leaved a lot of people out.

I absolutely agree with that.

And at the end of the day, it's just when you're coming across something like that and you're studying exactly what COVID is and everything that they're saying, it should have just been a choice.

It should have just been a choice.

And, you know, one of the questions that I got was, you know, you took vaccines when you were younger.

But I was like, at the end of the day, that was my mother's choice to give it to me.

And she wasn't forced to do it.

And so I think just the way that it was forced, the way that it was pushed, and even throughout the season, I was the only one who didn't get vaccinated and I didn't get COVID.

So many guys on the team who are vaccinated.

So many people

who had the COVID vaccine, you know,

episode one through seven

are getting the, you know, are getting COVID over and over and over again.

I don't know what the stats are.

You probably do.

I don't know what the stats are.

At the bottom line, though, as you point out, it should be your choice.

If you want to get it, you can get it.

If you don't get it, you shouldn't want to get it.

The religious exemption thing is a really important part of this that you mentioned.

I mean, if you you believe that this is not for you,

who's the NBA?

Who is the government to tell you that you have to take it?

Right.

And that's the principle that I was talking about, about just like not saying that the vaccine is some awful thing, but obviously some people have had adverse reactions to it.

I'm young.

I'm healthy.

I've already had COVID in the past.

I have natural immunity.

I don't see the wisdom in putting this into my body and still being able to get the virus and transmit it anyway.

And so, but just for the principle of the people who were struggling in that time, the people who went from essential workers to, you know, being able to be excluded.

I was like, you know, just on principle, I don't think this is right for me.

So the name of the book is Why I Stand by Jonathan Isaac.

It is a tremendous book.

How is it doing?

It's doing fantastic.

So we became a national bestseller this week.

And again, they tell me that you're the guy and you're going to be the one to continue.

I'm the guy.

You are.

You're the guy to push this thing.

Well, I will tell you that it is exceptional.

And you're number one on Christian, number one in sports.

So this week, so when we first dropped, we were number one in Christian, number one in political books, number one in basketball biographies, and I think we got as high as 15 overall books.

But I think after this interview,

we're going to get to one in overall books.

That would be, I mean, I can't do that for my book in the New York Times.

I can do it on all other lists, but not the New York Times, so don't count on it.

But the name of the book is Why I Stand, and it is truly an inspirational book.

It is, I mean, there is a real shortage of two things, and they

are correlated.

um

people who actually

believe

in god and the power of god i'm not saying that yeah i believe in god no no you actually believe in god and the other is we have a lack of people who actually have courage and those two go hand in hand you cannot break those two apart you'll have courage because you believe in god um and this this book does a great job of explaining in just a story form of your own life.

Right.

And to the point about that, it's like, what I do really love about the book is that it's not a fairy tale.

It's not like this guy is just the most courageous guy in the world and he has such great belief and he's just did this amazing thing.

And it's not something that people can strive toward.

There are moments in the book where, again, I talk about my early childhood, about how much I struggle with anxiety and how developing a relationship with Christ has been the thing and the people that were around me in that time to help me get through that.

I mean, ultimately get me to be able to stand in the first place.

So it's something that people can draw off of.

People can see themselves in the story.

People can be encouraged and inspired that they can do the same because it's the same thing that I went through.

And you had to have a conversation with your wife at some point going.

Honey, this is hundreds of millions of dollars that are at stake, right?

Well, she wasn't my wife at the time.

She was my fiancé.

Okay.

But the night before.

Did she encourage you to take a stand?

Yes.

So the night before.

You married the the right woman.

I did.

So the night before I stood, I was on the phone with my pastor.

He was my first call.

My fiancé was my second.

I called him and we're talking about, you know, you don't understand how big this is going to be.

Like, I'm going to be a coon.

I'm going to be an Uncle Tom.

You know, I hadn't signed my contract yet.

And so that was still up in the air.

So

that could have been destroyed.

But he said, you cannot stand for God and God not stand for you.

And so we went with it.

And the same thing I said to my wife, she was like, you're standing alone in there, but you're not standing alone because I'm standing with you.

And so there are many people who have been encouraged by it, many Christians who are standing and many people who just believe the message that ultimately the love of God is what heals and being able to show the love of God in these moments, still standing for what you believe in, but rendering unto others the way that you would want to be.

You would want it.

So if you did something that was wrong and it was caught on tape, you would want mercy.

You would want forgiveness.

You would want people to handle you in a certain way.

So we have to be the ones that understand from a Christian perspective and want to show that same love and grace to other people.

You get it.

You're fantastic.

To Gabriel.

To God.

And I'm not just saying that because you just signed an $80 million contract and I'd like a loan.

His name is Jonathan Isaac.

What an incredibly nice guy.

Really

normal, down-to-earth,

enormous hands.

We're talking about Jonathan Isaac, who is just in from NBA, Orlando Magic, and he just put a book out, Why I Stand.

And I'm telling you, you're going to love the book.

You'll just love the book.

It was funny because, I mean, when that happened, it was a big story.

And I don't think people really understood what an impossible stand that was.

He

hadn't signed his contract.

That's a big part of it.

And he was hurt.

So, like, you know, they had an excuse to be like, we don't know.

He's been on the bench now for, do you call it a bench injured, yeah, for sure?

Injured for the last two years.

Yeah.

I mean, I don't treat me like I'm an imbecile.

I do know things like

injured and bench and stuff.

I'd like to ask him, I'm going to, because I'm going to see him out in the hallway in a minute.

I really want to ask him,

why do any of you guys, you're so good at basketball, why do any of you miss the foul shot?

You know where it is.

You're right.

Right.

Isn't that what you call it?

No, that's good.

No, you're doing a really good job analyzing this situation.

You should continue because

you're doing great.

All right.

I saw somebody mention this the other day and I went, yeah.

Yeah, that's right.

They are.

They're standing at the top of the key every time.

All you have to do is shoot it in the back.

It's not like, hey, this time, you know, you have to be over here.

How do you not get that shot every time?

Yeah, no, it's

an amazing analysis.

Right.

I think people who are really into sports, you might be too deep for the average audience member right now.

Have you ever heard anybody on sports radio or ESPN ask that?

Thousands of hours of sports radio.

You never,

never,

has anyone broken it down quite like that?

Right.

Yeah.

Right.

You've got a special talent.
