Thank you so much, Hillary.

I want to talk to you about sweat block.

Actually,

I'm considering talking about this on the regular show, you know,

even though they're not a sponsor of the radio show, because I think it is a miracle.

I tried the sweat block last week.

I started using the sweat block wipes, which is for extreme sweating, but it's like a thousand degrees here.

I'm telling you, it is the most amazing thing ever.

I was outside not sweating.

I came in and I should have just stunk to high heaven.

I actually, I like smelled my shirt after I took it off, after it dried, and I, you know, took it off and I smelled it.

I could, there's like no odor.

And that was like four days after I had applied the sweatblock.

It's truly amazing.

The deodorant stick is good, but the wipes are incredible.

Incredible.

You can find them on Amazon or you can just go right to sweatblock.com, use the promo code Beck, and you're going to save 20%.

So do that.

I'm telling you,

if you sweat or you work outside or just going from the car to the house, you break out and sweat, try the wipes.

They're incredible.

Incredible.

Use the promo code Beck.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together if the correspondence

stand up straight and hold

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

This is the Glenback program.

All right, there was a horrible, horrible shooting in Buffalo, and it took just about, what, two hours for the Democrats to start pouncing there's also a horrible shooting in

California that the media is not making a big deal out of it was in a church and it was an Asian that was shooting other Asians I guess that one doesn't count five people dead

over the weekend in Chicago but those never count Wisconsin there was a shooting but apparently the one that we have to pay attention to is the one in Buffalo.

And I don't mean to be callous, but you need to understand how this is being used.

I'm going to give you the facts.

Well, actually, I'm going to start with the Daily Beast and what they say all of this means.

Then I will give you the facts.

And we begin in 60 seconds.

The future is uncertain.

And that's because who's teaching our kids and what are they teaching them?

I have a remarkable book right here.

It is The Tuttle Twins and Their Spectacular Show Business.

And if you're watching the Blaze, you can see that, you know, it's made for kids, but it is fantastic.

It's a story of the Tuttle Twins, and they want to start their own theater, blah, blah, blah.

And their mom and dad say, okay, well, you want to start your, you want to start a business then you have to have a business plan and it goes through how to make a business plan how to understand what you bring to the table

what the risk is what others can bring to the table who do you know what are your resources the capital

and then the business plan and it explains all of it.

This is the way to teach your kids how to be an entrepreneur.

It's called the spectacular show business by the Tuttle Twins and you can get it for free right now.

All right, so let me start.

Let me first say hello to Pat Gray, who is filling in this week for Stu, who is

off having some plastic surgery done.

And I'm glad he probably wouldn't want me to mention it, but

it's been quite disfiguring what has happened to him recently.

Yeah.

It's good to.

So

I'm glad he's taking care of it, though.

I am, too.

We're trying to.

We tried not to say anything.

We tried really hard.

It took, what, we're five minutes into the show?

Seven.

No, I don't mean now.

I mean, you know, over the...

Over the last 20 years to not talk about

his disintegration.

Yeah, so um best of luck we have you in our thoughts not our prayers stu but we do have you in our thoughts and you're ongoing extensive plastic surgery that you're you're doing uh if uh by

this is from the daily piece if biden and the democrats still have to answer for defund the police and crt the gop should answer for the racist violent theory that they've pushed Republicans in the conservative media ecosystem have to answer for the blood on their hands either through innuendo or direct statements, they continue to promote the white supremacist great replacement theory, which has yet again radicalized a terrorist to commit violence against people of color, and they should be held accountable for their role in it.

Okay,

I would like to know, do you know anyone who is upset that America will, what, by 2050, be less white and whites won't be in charge?

Not a single person.

I don't know a single person.

Have you ever heard a candidate for the Republican Party ever talk about that?

Nope.

Okay.

I haven't either.

We've never talked about it?

Ever.

We've never talked about it.

We've never talked about it.

On or off the air.

Correct.

It is not an issue with the GOP.

It may be the issue with some people,

and it is an issue online, but that's not a GOP theory.

That's a Nazi theory.

That's a racist theory.

That's a democratic Klan theory.

All right.

We are still learning more about Peyton Gendren.

This is from the Daily Beast, the 18-year-old suspected terrorist who killed 10 people.

Suspected terrorist.

I mean, he surrendered at the scene.

killed 10 people in a racially motivated attack in Buffalo.

However, it is clear from his alleged manifesto that the great replacement theory, which is now a mainstream GOP talking point.

What?

No.

No.

It's a flat-out lie.

A complete lie.

A talking point?

Never.

I've never heard of it.

Continues to radicalize men

to commit violence.

Yet some Republican leaders and conservative pundits continue to promote this hate for the sake of votes, profit, and ratings.

Never mentioned, I don't know know anyone in my industry that believes it and is promoting it.

By the way, for those are like, you talk about the borders.

That's not replacement theory.

That's chaos.

That's what that is.

Enough is enough until Republican leaders and conservative media stars.

I think they're talking about you, Pat.

Could be talking about Stu, but I don't want to bring him up because of that horrible, horrendous scar.

Anyway,

unless the conservative media stars explicitly renounce this white supremacist conspiracy theory, condemn it, and disassociate from its peddlers.

If they don't, it's fair to conclude they are entirely complicit with the message.

Stu, Pat,

do you renounce this white supremacist conspiracy?

Do you condemn it?

Yes.

Will you disassociate from all of its peddlers?

Completely, except that I never associated with them to begin with.

I know, and I don't know who they are.

I mean, if you can point them out, let me know.

I don't know who they are.

Journalists and reporters must repeatedly hound Republican officials with follow-up questions.

Recall Democrats and President Joe Biden are still asking about defunding the police, even though it's not a mainstream

DNC position.

What?

That is literally.

was a talking point.

It was literally

people ran on that platform

until it became unpopular.

Now, all of a sudden, it's like, what?

We didn't say that.

Who said that?

I mean, this is crazy.

Or about critical race theory panic, even though it was revealed to be a bad faith Trojan horse created by right-wing activists to incite racial panic and anxiety.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

This is crazy.

Crazy.

Okay, so let's now go into the facts.

First of all,

replacement theory is not a mainstream Republican theory.

It is a racist theory.

If you are afraid of another race taking over

by 2050,

you might want to discuss that with some people.

And I don't mean people that think like you.

Maybe you should call us and discuss it with us

because you're wrong.

What matters is the country being taken over by people who don't understand the Constitution and the way America was set up.

That's the problem.

Okay, last spring, as the end of the academic year approached at Susquehanna Valley High School outside of Binghamton, New York, students were asked for a school project about their plans after graduation.

The guy who was shooting the supermarket up over the weekend said he wanted to commit a murder suicide.

He claimed to be joking, but the state police were summoned to investigate.

They took him into custody under state mental health law.

He had a psychiatric evaluation in the hospital, but was released within a couple of days.

Two weeks later, he graduated, fell off investigators' radar.

He resurfaced over the weekend, 200 miles away in Buffalo, where authorities say he opened fire at a supermarket in a predominantly black area, killing 10 people, wounding three others, and the deadliest racist massacre in the United States history.

You know, the one thing that I guess, I guess you could say

is that social media is not paying attention and tracking everybody, nor is the FBI.

Now, if you're brought in and you are threatening your students in murder, suicide, and you've published a 180-page manifesto,

maybe we should look at that.

You know, maybe we should.

Maybe, you know, hey,

we had a tip on this guy.

Oh, look at the manifesto.

But apparently, that wasn't done, even though the state has red flag laws.

Hmm.

Another gun law that doesn't seem to do anything because they don't enforce it.

Huh.

So we read the manifesto or as much as we could read the manifesto

because it has been taken offline, and that is both a good thing and a bad thing.

It's a good thing because I don't want to spread the poison.

It's a bad thing because the media can lie about everything and you won't know.

So here's what we do have:

180-page manifesto was written

and they have been trying to

blame Fox News and everybody else.

It attacks the news networks, including Fox News.

Why?

For hiring Jews.

Now,

Pat, I know that's a Republican talking home.

Can you tell me if you had to put one.

Well, let me do it in a positive way.

Which one of the two parties

would be the most likely to support Jews and Israel?

Republicans.

Republicans.

Why do you know that?

Because it is the Republicans who stand by Israel every single time.

It's the Republicans.

It was a Republican president who moved the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Well, that was just a dog whistle.

Is that what that was?

Yeah, that was just a dog whistle.

Others have tried to link the shooter to right-wing politics, right-wing extremism, but here's what the manifesto says.

Quote, when I was 12, I was deep into communist ideology.

Huh.

Talk to anyone.

That sounds really Republican, doesn't it?

Well, it's a talking point.

Yeah.

Talk to anyone from my old high school and and ask about me, and you'll hear that.

From age 15 to 18, however, I consistently move further to the right.

On the political compass, I fall in the mild, moderate, authoritarian, left category.

Ha ha.

Left.

Fascinating.

Yeah.

So he moved from the communist

just to the authoritarian category.

Okay.

So he's authoritarian, left-wing,

but he's a capitalist.

Oh, no.

He says,

I'm not a conservative because conservativism is corporatism in disguise, and I want no part of that.

Oh, that sounds very Republican.

Very Republican.

He's not a conservative.

Well, it actually kind of does sound like Mitch McConnell, except it's not because of corporatism.

Conservatism is corporatism in disguise, and I want no part of it.

Okay, so, huh, he's not a conservative, and he doesn't like corporatism,

but he's authoritarian.

Sounds to me like the guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

He says,

let's see.

He also says that he was inspired by the New Zealand shooter,

which that guy was a conservative, wasn't he?

Wasn't he a conservative?

Oh, no.

No, no, he wasn't.

No, gosh, that's right.

And how do we know?

Oh, his manifesto.

Oh, that's right.

That's right.

By the way, he talks about.

Now, why wouldn't we read a manifesto on the air?

You don't want to inspire anybody who's a little bit

more.

Yeah, you don't want their dreams to come true, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

He specifically says

that

there are New York strict gun laws, which is going to make it easier to carry out attacks.

New Yorkers are limited to 10-round magazines, and the crazy gunman says that means that others don't have enough bullets

to, if they're armed citizens, to actually fight back.

Hmm.

He then goes on to say his desired outcome from this rampage would be more gun control laws.

Ha!

Another really solidly Republican point.

Right.

And he says more gun laws because that would force white Americans to fight back in order to regain their rights.

Hmm.

Huh.

Heavily racist, authoritarian left,

and his goal was to get more gun laws.

Wow.

We've got just a crack media, don't we?

I mean, they are on it.

Relief Factor.

Mark writes in about his experience with Relief Factory.

He said I had knee pain for 15 years, but I started taking Relief Factory and my pain's gone.

It works so well.

I had my wife try it.

She's a mail carrier.

She had knee pain almost as long as I have.

Her knee pain has virtually disappeared as well.

So yeah, the stuff really works.

Listen, if you're dealing with pain, give Relief Factor a try.

It's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors and it has four different ways to attack inflammation and work with your body.

And that causes most of our pain.

Three-week quick starts developed for you $19.95.

It's a dollar a day.

It's a trial pack.

Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered the trial pack, and about 70% of them go on to order more month after month.

So try Relief Factor.

Please get your life back.

1-800 Relief.

I'm sorry, 1-800, the number 4 relief.

1-800-4 Relief.

1995 ReliefFactor.com.

Feel the difference.

10 seconds, station ID.

Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Oh, here's where you get that he was Tucker Carlson

was instrumental.

Yeah, look at this.

The manifesto says he was radicalized entirely

by the internet rather than anyone he's met in real life.

And he, here it is, he was inspired by.

Well, they spell Tucker Carlson different.

They spell it Brenton Tarrant.

But I mean, we know that's Tucker Carlson.

It's code.

Yeah,

that's the guy who murdered the 51 Muslims in Christchurch.

Oh, geez.

By the way, he was also,

he also said that he was inspired by, do you remember the guy Anders Breivik?

Yeah, the guy in Norway?

Norway?

Killed, what?

77?

77 children.

Why did they, why was he, how did he kill 77 children there on that island?

With a gun.

Oh, that's right.

There was nobody else on the island with a gun, so nobody could stop him.

Right.

That's right.

And then the 51 Muslims that were killed in Christchurch,

how did he kill so many?

Oh, that's right.

Because no guns.

Nobody had a gun.

Except for the bad guy.

He did have one.

Yeah.

Wow.

Wow.

Okay.

Well, there you go.

That's the truth about what's going on.

And

it took about two, three hours for the uh Democrats to

to start in.

Adam Schiff was one of the first.

Um, two mass shootings in 24 hours in Milwaukee and Buffalo, the latter killing 10 people.

I'm heartbroken and I'm angry.

Angry that the GOP continues to block even the most basic gun safety measures.

We can stop this.

We can save lives.

Republicans just refuse to.

Cowards.

Oh, Adam Schiff.

Adam Schiff.

I miss you.

I do.

The New York governor says we need new laws to deal with guns and social media.

So

there's in one tweet, let's take care of two amendments to the Bill of Rights.

That's fantastic.

Now,

nobody really cares about those that were killed in Chicago and nine wounded.

There was two killed, nine wounded.

Again, this happens every weekend.

What happened in Milwaukee that left 21 injured was just, you know, a bunch of guys, you know, people shooting at each other in the streets.

But they were celebrating, you know.

They were there for the NBA playoff game.

And, you know, that happens.

That happens.

And then the California shooting at a church in Laguna Woods, one dead.

Yeah, one, one,

one dead.

Even though people in the church did not have a

gun,

they

rallied and tackled the guy.

The reason why this is not making any, you know, a big, a big news

is because

he was Asian

and

And the people that were in the church were Taiwanese.

So was that China against Taiwan?

I don't know what that is.

But I thought this was important to tell you that Gavin Newson came out and said,

our thoughts are with the victims and all those impacted by this tragic event.

No prayers, but he did give in to the thoughts,

which

the left on the left loves that, the thoughts.

The Glenn's program.

Action in Buffalo, thoughts in California.

We recently found out the Biden administration is talking about using Veterans Affairs resources to help treat illegal aliens at the southern border.

I'm not kidding.

They are taking money from the VA.

So they have money to treat illegal aliens.

That's great.

Could I maybe interest you in supporting our veterans?

Since 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been supporting our veterans,

really our heroes, anybody who dies in the line of duty protecting us and our rights.

If somebody doesn't come home at the end of the day or the end of tour and they have young children, Tunnel to Towers pays off their mortgage to lift the financial burden from the family.

If they're catastrophically injured, Tunnel to Towers builds mortgage-free smart homes so they can have independent lives.

And Operation Home Base now is providing tiny homes for homeless veterans.

Yeah, yeah, baby.

Yeah.

Yeah,

let me start with here.

Cut to, please,

a resident from Buffalo, New York on the shooting this weekend.

It's ridiculous.

Something has to change from the bottom to the top because they're not going to do nothing.

We got to do something.

This is ridiculous.

I feel bad for the people that was in there because after the security guard got shot, he got a gun shooting people still.

The people more people were

Oh, that was the wrong cut.

I don't know how that made it on the air.

That's a black man from Buffalo saying if more people were armed, wouldn't have a problem.

And the problem with the guard is he was the only one in the store with a gun.

He shot him and learned the lesson that he was wearing Kevlar vests.

You should have shot him in

the head.

Or why didn't he shoot him in the trigger finger, Pat?

Why didn't I mean that's where he should go?

You just shoot twice.

Right, just disable them.

Just disable the shooter's fingers, really.

And then it's really, really good.

There is a great story in the Free Beacon today to show you.

I mean, it's just, it's ridiculous to see.

Were we, and were we a nation that had a lot of racists in it?

Yeah.

Yeah, we have been.

We have been.

Did the South carry a lot of this racism forward through the 60s?

Yes.

Were the Republicans the problem?

No.

Well, did the Southern Democrats, with their Southern strategy,

did they come in and flip

and become Republicans?

No.

No, they didn't.

Name them.

You can't.

Go ahead, name them.

You can't.

Because it didn't happen.

So what happened to all of those racists?

They stayed in the Democratic Party.

Who is...

Who is enabling all people to have jobs and freedom and which one is telling people you can't do it because there's one race that is the problem

it's not the Republicans it's not conservatives and it is certainly not people who believe in the Constitution

now the free beacon just

shows the

the

media's role in all of this.

Frank James, the man arrested in New York City in the subway shooting, is a black nationalist.

Did you hear that?

Did you hear that anywhere?

I mean, we did because we look for those things, but the average person doesn't have time.

They trust what's coming out of these people's mouths.

He was a black nationalist and an outspoken racist who railed against whites, Jews, and Hispanics.

Gee, that's weird because the one in Buffalo was also

a racist.

He was an authoritarian leftist, according to his own words.

And he also had a problem with Jews and Hispanics.

But he was a white guy.

Wow, you would think that we would, a white, black nationalist, if this guy were a white nationalist uh you know a Nazi they should bring that up but they don't they call him instead a Republican this is a black nationalist same thing just different race running things why is this guy not important

okay

they didn't the New York Times

in a 2,000 word article on the attack never mentioned the fact that Frank James was a black and a black nationalist.

Not once.

Unbelievable.

Same is true for the coverage offered up by Reuters, and the Washington Post only mentioned James Race in relation to his condemnation of training programs for low-income black youths.

So

they've said that he was a racist going after Jews and Hispanics.

And that he had a problem.

He was a black guy.

And what really made him snap was the lack of training programs for low-income black youths.

That means more government.

Media critics on the right say the conspicuous omission of James Race from these news reports illustrates a trend among prestigious papers, which de-emphasize or

omit the race of non-white criminals while playing up the race of white offenders.

But is it a real pattern?

I have to thank the Free Beacon for doing this.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It's one thing to say it, it's another to do the work that they just did.

The Washington Free Beacon reviewed hundreds of articles, they get into it in a minute, published by major papers over a span of two years, and they find that papers downplay the race of non-white offenders, mentioning their race much later in articles than they do for white offenders.

These papers are also three to four times more likely to mention an offender's race at all if he is white, a disparity that grew in the wake of George Floyd's death in 2020.

The Free Beacon collected data on nearly 1,100 articles about homicides from six major papers, all written between 2019 and 2021.

The papers include the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

What do all of those papers have in common besides this story?

They're all left-wing publications.

And they are all the source in those communities.

They are all, everything else in newsrooms in those communities will come from those papers.

The only difference here is the Los Angeles Times, maybe the Chicago Tribune, and the New York Times are national viewed papers.

You cannot walk into a newsroom locally anywhere without finding a copy of the New York Times.

Representatives from each paper did not return question comment.

No kidding.

For each article, we collected the offender and victim's name and race and noted where in the article the offender's race was mentioned, if at all.

The data suggests an alarming editorial trend trend in which major papers routinely admit information from news reports,

presenting readers with a skewed picture of who does and doesn't commit crime.

This was done, by the way, in Germany.

This is done in every place there's ever been atrocities against a race.

You highlight the race of let's say in Germany, Jews,

and you don't highlight it for everybody else.

Once you highlight it for Jews, now everybody's like, well, they're the problem.

That's what's being done now in our country.

And which side of the aisle is promoting this?

These editorial choices are part and parcel with the racial reckoning that swept the newsroom in the wake of Floyd's murder.

The papers are far quicker, this is what they found, far quicker to mention the race of white murderers than black.

Those two races account for 92% of mentions in the data, so others are not shown.

Half of the articles about a white offender mention his race within the first 15% of the article.

So 50% of all articles about a white perpetrator mention it in the first 15% of the article.

In articles about black offenders, by contrast, mentions come overwhelmingly towards the end of the piece.

50% of the articles that mention a black offender's race do not do so until at least 60% of the way through.

And more than 20% save it for the last fifth of the article.

To measure these choices, blah, blah, blah, doing so permits an estimate of how often journalists highlight an offender's race or don't.

Again, the skew is startling.

White offender's race was mentioned roughly one out of every four articles.

Compared about black offenders, one in every 17 articles, and Hispanics, one in every 33 articles.

The effect is driven in part by a handful of major news stories involving white perpetrators, though the attention paid to these stories is also an editorial choice.

But even after admitting reports about white offenders, Kyle Rittenhouse, Derek Chauvin, and the killers of Ahmed Arbery, the race of white offenders is mentioned in 16% of the cases, two to three times the rate of black offenders.

By the way, Middle Eastern offenders are now labeled as Asian.

This disparity widened following the George Floyd murder.

Before May of 2020, papers were roughly twice as likely to mention the race of white, 13% of the story, versus black perpetrators, 7%.

After May 2020, the numbers were 28%

and 4%,

a ratio of 7 to 1.

This is,

the newsrooms are doing what they call moral clarity.

They're looking for moral clarity and racial justice.

So

writing a news story,

you're not objective anymore.

You can't be objective.

It's wrong to be objective.

You have to take a side with the goal of advancing a political objective.

That's why in the manifesto, you don't want to do what some terrorist, some killer that wrote a manifesto, you don't want to do what they

claiming their goal is.

What was his goal?

more gun control more gun control because he felt it would bring about violence

what does the left immediately do and the media call for more gun control why

because the facts about that shooting don't matter

They have to advance their agenda.

They have picked a political objective.

Republicans must be destroyed, and we must have more gun control.

That's it.

That's it.

That's why the other stories involving other races aren't getting picked up, aren't getting the coverage.

They are not.

The president is not flying to Milwaukee.

He's not flying there.

Tomorrow, he'll be in Buffalo.

Why?

Political objective.

That's the America we find ourselves in today.

And that is truly sad.

When we have shortages in the country on things as important as baby formula, that's when you realize, hey, the sky's the limit here.

You know, nobody knows how bad things are going to get because the ports are shut down and it is a worse problem now in China than it was ever in COVID.

And you remember how bad it got?

We haven't even seen this come to our shores yet.

We're going to talk a little bit about what's happening in our communities with ESG.

Tomorrow is a very big day

for voting in the primaries all over the country.

And we have to decide which way we're going to go.

We really, as a nation, you have seen

what the left has planned.

You know, do you, are we going to, are we going to continue down this road?

You know what really kills me is how many people are just willing to go, yeah, we got to get used to it.

We just got to get used to it.

I guess, I mean, you know, those days are gone.

We just got to.

What?

What are you talking about?

Well, I don't know what we're going to do about the baby formula thing.

Oh, okay.

Well, let's just wait for the government to fix it.

Good luck with that.

Yeah.

You know what the government,

the baby formula, the reason why

is apparently the FDA just can't get out to check the

just can't get out to check the

plant.

Yeah.

They had to sterilize everything.

And so they did, and they're waiting,

still waiting.

And the FDA is just, ah, man, we got so many things to do.

I just don't know when we get to that.

You would kind of think that's a priority?

You'd think you could get him on a plane today.

I mean, the day you find out we have a shortage, the president calls the FDA and says, what's going on with that?

Get over there.

Get there.

Open it up today.

It's going to take 10 weeks from

the time they give the okay.

It's two weeks to get the thing started.

And then it's another eight weeks to get it on the store shelves.

So we're 10 weeks out and they're still screwing around with.

Yeah, and it was done in January.

Yeah.

It was done in January.

We wouldn't have had to have any of these problems.

So are we the kind of nation, are we just going to settle back and go, yep, this is

our lot in life?

We're going to be a, you know, second-rate nation and we'll just wait for things.

Or are we going to say, you know, it's time to start making things here and it's time to also start loosening up the rules of all of the things.

Do you know it's easier to start a business in Sweden than it is here?

Remember, IKEA left Sweden because they couldn't couldn't do business there.

They took the meatballs and the extra screws and they were like, we're going to do this elsewhere.

They left Sweden.

It's easier in Sweden than America now.

That's why you're having problems.

That's why America is going through what it is.

It doesn't have to be this way.

It's only going to get worse, however, with ESG.

And they're going to start punishing states.

I have a state treasurer on with us who's fighting back.

Next.

This is the Glenn Back program.

Summer's almost here.

That makes,

you know, makes, you know, all of the stuff that, you know, you don't want to think about the rest of the year, like, I don't know, being in shape.

We're at the pool yesterday.

Oh,

no.

No, no, no, no.

I'm not.

Kids were like, dag in the pool.

I'm like, nope.

No, I'm really not going to.

I shock myself.

So

Built Bar can help you lose some weight.

Built bars can, you can throw them in your bag for your kids even, because they're protein bars.

They're not a weight loss thing.

This is the Glenbeck Program.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

Why are you paying so much at the gas pump?

Why are you paying so much

at the grocery store?

Why is inflation happening?

There's several reasons, but one that nobody really has tied together yet, and we have an expert in finances and somebody who can explain all of this in 60 seconds.

Jodi has written in about her experience with Relief Factor.

She says, I am so grateful for the experience of relief.

The majority of my upper back and neck pain is now gone.

Something that is non-prescription and non-addictive, thank you.

I like the only side effects positive ones.

This is the key to Relief Factor.

And Jody, I thank you very much for your email.

Relief Factor was created by doctors.

It is usually the thing that everybody tries

the very last thing because you're out of option.

When you're living with real pain and nothing cuts it, and then, you know, if you get prescription drugs, you're like, I don't want to live my life that way.

What do you do?

Relief Factor.

Please just try it.

Three-week quick start.

Developed for 1995.

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

I'm one of those people.

It works.

We are I'm thrilled, thrilled to have a real ESG warrior in the studio now.

Marlo Oaks, he is the Utah State Treasurer, and he gets it.

He is on our studio lot here meeting with other state leaders from all over the country, meeting with the Heartland Institute regarding ESG.

His name is Marlo Oakes.

Marlo, how are you, sir?

Great.

It's good to have you here.

Good to be here.

Thank you.

So

you are, your background is investments.

Yes.

Right.

And in 2008, your firm fared really quite well, did it not?

Yeah.

And that was why.

Well, it was different strategies that we had in place.

And really,

what's interesting is we looked at the market indicators.

We had some indicators on market-based information around the housing market

and were able to avoid some investments.

And the housing market went up.

And this is important for people to understand.

The housing market went up.

It wasn't called this at the time, but it was social justice, was it not?

Correct.

Yeah.

Tell me, explain that.

So essentially,

the government decided that owning a home was a human right, right?

For everybody in the United States, everybody should own a home.

And so we are going to

twist the arm of banks to provide more capital.

Correct.

And you can't open up new banks in other areas unless you provide more home loans for these people in this disadvantaged area.

That's right.

That's right.

And so all of this money floods into the housing market, creating all of these different securities, right?

And ultimately, it was too much capital.

Underwriting standards went down, right?

And what was the result?

It was, it almost broke our entire system, right?

And so when we start messing with markets, we are creating huge problems.

The misallocation of capital, either too much capital or not enough capital, it creates problems.

And that is the key.

And I want you to know there's a new study out that shows that 50%, 50%, 55% of the population is now aware of the Great Reset and ESG and have an opinion on it.

It is the least popular.

I mean, it's wildly unpopular with all three, but it's the least popular with independents,

then with Democrats.

And the trail is Republicans because they say we're not going to get involved in the free market.

This is not the free market.

No, that's right.

And I'm really glad to hear those statistics because I've told people this transcends partisan politics.

If you care about the United States of America, you will be against ESG.

This is not free market capitalism because free market capitalism is allowing capital to go where it would naturally go.

In 2015, there were 59 oil and gas funds raised globally, $46.6 billion.

In 2021, there were 11 funds raised globally, $4.6 billion, a drop of over 90%.

And the reason is because ESG investors, we have a group of entities, financial entities that have signed on to different

initiatives globally that are saying we have to reduce carbon emissions emissions to net zero.

And with that goal, then they are now cutting off capital, refusing to give capital where it is most desperately needed in this economy, and that is in the oil and gas industry.

And that's a huge reason why we have inflation in gasoline prices.

This is where governments always screw up.

They always screw up.

They are saying we want to reduce to carbon zero, so

we're sending this out to the oil and gas industry.

And that message has gone through the banks and through investors.

We're not going to invest in you for finding any more oil and gas.

You're not the future.

Right.

And then the next in line there sees, oh, oil and gas is not the future.

So I've got to build electric cars.

But nobody's talking about.

How fast this is happening and where we're going to get all of the electricity in the transition period.

Right.

And what are we transitioning to?

To

you know, we say, okay, we've got to get off oil and gas.

Okay, that's fine and dandy, but

where are we going to get our power?

Yeah.

Right.

And electric vehicles don't power themselves.

No.

They have to get the power from somewhere, right?

If we would, I would be for, not ESG, but I would be for the switchover if it was cleaner.

If we were doing, let's say, combined with, we're going to build new nuclear plants.

Yeah.

So we had enough power to do it.

Well, where is the market, right?

That's what we're getting away from, which is so dangerous, right?

Free market capitalism is essentially economic freedom.

It's the ability for you and I to make our own choices about what we buy and sell.

Okay, so you are trying to

get people to understand in Utah this is

extraordinarily dangerous for them.

Yes.

Why?

It bypasses our legislative processes, right?

So because the Great New Deal wasn't able to get through Congress, that didn't stop them.

They're going through ESG, through corporate America, which bypasses a legislative process

and run against the Constitution.

Absolutely.

It undermines the Constitution.

And ESG is fundamentally coercion.

If you think about socially responsible investing, that's the idea that I'm going to avoid certain industries because I don't want to participate in them.

That's fine.

That's your constitutional right.

Impact investing.

I'm a huge fan of impact investing.

That's where you are looking for a solution to a problem.

It's about funding innovation to find solutions to our biggest challenges.

ESG is neither of those things.

ESG has really hijacked the socially responsible investing idea.

And instead of just avoiding investing, we are now going to engage in companies and engage the market and try to change them to the view that we have, that we have.

Including changing the board of directors,

which is so dangerous.

Yes.

So you're on the E for energy, for ESG,

or ecology.

You're looking at the high rate of

gas prices going up, and you're tying it right to ESG because we're not investing in that.

That's right.

Yeah, because if you invest in that, then you may get shamed.

I mean, there's a cancel culture there, and it's incredibly dangerous.

So how does this hurt the investor who has their money in some mutual fund?

Let's start there.

How does that help?

Well, this year, the best performing sector in the market has been oil and gas.

And you're out.

And you're not participating in it.

So you are, by definition, over time, if you are excluding a sector or company or whatever it is, right?

You you are either

over a business cycle, you are either going to have higher volatility, lower returns, or a combination of both.

And this year is a perfect example of what happens when you don't invest in oil and gas because it is the best performing asset class.

Somebody has to look at these funds and see if they, because there's fiduciary responsibility.

Absolutely.

They can't just do this if it's not performing at least as well.

Right.

But I can't imagine how it is.

Now, the state, as I see this,

this is the way, you remember when, you know, the bathroom, the

non-gender bathroom thing.

And what was it?

The Carolinas, Pat, do you remember?

North Carolina.

North Carolina.

And they boycotted the state and they said, we're not going to bring tours there, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

This is a way, if you don't go along,

Before it hits the average person and their choices personally, it's going to hit the states first.

And this is a way for the state to be completely shut off, correct?

Like Russia is shut off.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's potentially.

That's exactly right.

It is a way we are politicizing our capital markets to the point where we are no longer in control as a state.

the level of or the rate that we can borrow money in the capital markets.

Utah has always had a triple-A rating, and all three credit rating agencies have rated it triple A.

That's the highest credit in the world.

And I've said for months, that may not matter if we have some ESG score that says we aren't doing, we might be extracting too much oil or our gun laws are too lax, whatever it is, right?

S ⁇ P Global, which is a credit rating service, just said to all of the states, We're not just looking at your finances now.

We're using ESG.

That's right.

So you may lose your AAA credit status.

They kept it separate, right?

So they said, okay, you have your triple A,

but then they have an ESG score.

That's still problematic, even if we have a AAA credit rating, because you're calling out something else that investors can point to and say, oh, well, you shouldn't really lend to Utah at the best rates because look at their ESG score, right?

Forget the credit rating, right?

That's the only thing that's not.

And what is it going to mean to states?

It means that you have lost your self-determination, your sovereignty, your ability to drive kind of your own destiny.

Because

if S ⁇ P Global determines for some reason, or the credit rating agencies determine that there is some risk out there, right, that's a social risk or an environmental risk,

and they point to that and give you a low score, then investors may hold back money, just like what they're doing with oil and gas.

And therefore, rates go up.

You have to borrow at a a higher rate.

And all taxpayers in the state are hurt by that.

It hurts states and companies and individuals.

It's incredible how bad this is.

It is all-encompassing.

And really, I personally think it's evil, but it's genius.

I mean, it's well thought out and well-executed.

Yes.

And they are way down the road with it.

So what are you doing in your state to stop it?

Well,

I'm doing a lot of education, number one.

Number one thing,

right around 50% don't know what it is.

Yeah, and we've got to change that.

People have got to understand, and they've got to understand how this is different from free market capitalism, how it actually undermines and destroys free market capitalism, because it has nothing to do with free market capitalism.

In fact, it's the antithesis of free market capitalism.

And people have got to understand how this,

how it hurts their returns, their investment returns,

how it causes inflation.

We look at the 2008, 2009 financial crisis and what a disaster that was.

That's a result of the government getting involved in markets and trying to determine who can get capital and who can't.

That's what ESG is all about.

And that made houses

less expensive, easier to get, where inflation here is you don't have the resources for the oil and gas.

So those resources

are falling behind where you're going going to be able to get it.

And the supply

is smart, yeah.

So that's just causing supply and demand.

Exactly.

And another thing that's so insidious about this: if you think, if you're concerned about the environment, and who doesn't want clean air and clean water, right?

We all want that, right?

Yeah.

So, in order to solve a problem, we need innovation.

And we've always relied on innovation in this country.

We have the best innovation record in the world.

And if we go go down the ESG hole, we will destroy innovation because it is a massive wealth transfer of regulation and lawsuits and other

service providers like accountants that have to do all of the ESG scoring, right?

It's a huge transfer.

There's no wealth that has been generated by ESG.

It's this reporting

that is being foisted on companies, public and private.

It is like across the economy.

And it will happen to the individual.

You'll be the last to be picked, but you, do you agree?

Okay, so here in, sorry, not a bunch of people.

Hang on, hang on, hang on.

Let me take one minute and we'll come back.

Marlo Oaks, who is the Utah State Treasurer, who had a Wall Street Journal piece out recently, and he is now meeting with different states, different leaders here at our studio

complex over at the American Journey Experience.

He's meeting with the Heartland Institute regarding ESG.

Okay, so we were talking about how this is going to affect the average person.

Yeah, so we have a co-op power company.

The co-op, meaning there's five different cities in Utah and Nevada, right, that have this co-op power company.

And recently the insurance broker was approached by the current insurance underwriter for automobile insurance of the fleet vehicles.

And they said, we are no longer going to underwrite the automobile business of the co-op.

And they said, well, why?

Because it is coal power, coal-generated power.

Even though the cars aren't.

Yeah.

Right.

And so that's where we're going, right?

I mean,

I tell people this.

This is like putting economic sanctions, American companies, against American companies.

You see this in war, right?

In war, you do economic sanctions against other countries.

Now we have American businesses doing it to American businesses.

It is crazy.

And of course, it's going to filter down.

They have to control our behavior in order for us to get to the net zero.

I mean, it is insane.

I'm sorry because I'm so ignorant on this.

Wouldn't the Commerce Clause have something to do with this?

The government is supposed to make sure that commerce flows freely, and that's not what this is doing.

No, that's right.

In fact,

it is really substituting our pluralistic institutions.

And what I mean by that is the market is our most pluralistic institution because we have individual players, individual people that participate in the market, all with a different view about the future.

And we are trying to conform everybody's view to one, right?

To converge that view to one outcome.

That sounds good.

And that destroys the pluralistic system that we have and leads to centralized control.

So, Marlo, we've got about 90 seconds.

What can people do or how can...

What can people do?

Well, number one is that we've got to get money out of the big institutions that are driving this, BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard.

Those institutions have consolidated so much power and they've essentially hijacked passive investing and made it active to drive this agenda.

So if your money is in one of those, you've got to try to get it out.

Yes, yes.

And that may, that includes talking to your company.

If they have a retirement system at your company, you've got to tell them that you do not want your money politicized and that you've got to have your money

managed for a financial return.

Number two is if a business is doing something that you consider offensive, like politicizing things, right, you need to call the company.

Don't just stop doing business with them.

Call them and tell them why.

And conversely, if a business is not politicizing things and you appreciate that, then call them and tell them that you appreciate that.

The last thing you can do is actually buy a share of a company and show up to their annual meeting and start asking them tough questions about why they're doing certain things.

Excellent.

Marlo, thank you very much.

Thank you.

I really appreciate it.

Keep up the good work.

And if there's ever anything we can do to

help,

the people need to know what it is, and we need strong leaders like you that will put it through.

Well, thank you.

Thank you for your help in educating people on this.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation helps our veterans and helps our first responders.

A cop is shot and he doesn't come home.

If he has small children, his mortgage is taken care of, not by the federal government or by the state, but by average people who are joining and giving.

to Tunnel to Towers.

If somebody is living on the streets and they were a vet, we can get them off the street and get them a mortgage-free home base, a tiny home, through Operation Home Base.

They do a lot of stuff.

I'd like you to check them out, please.

They have a five-star charity rating.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Right across the brickyard here at the studio complex here in Irving, Texas, we have something called the American Journey Experience, and it's run by Mercury One.

And it is our history and education center.

And we do education with pastors.

I just spoke to about, I think, 60 or 80 pastors just a few weeks ago.

We were educating them on, you know, American history and how important their role is.

We do

students.

In fact, we have the American Journey Experience Summer Summer Institute,

which is, I believe, yeah, 18 to 25-year-olds.

It's a hands-on experience to study original historic documents.

You'll get specialized teaching and instruction and the opportunity to really understand

the American system and who we really are.

You'll also learn how to question.

That's where we start: is just what do you think you know?

And it is

phenomenal.

And I think at this, is it just one week?

Yeah, one week sessions.

The first session is June 20th to the 24th.

Session two is July 18th through the 22nd.

And you can have your 18 to 25-year-old apply.

Not everybody is taken.

There is some hurdles that

you have to cross.

AmericanJourneyExperience.com/slash dot com slash summer institute for college age uh people it is theamerican journey experience dot com summer

uh hyphen institute just go to just go to theamerican journey experience.com and you'll find all of the all of the um instructions there Barbara Ehart is with us.

She is over on the brickyard at our inter at our education center now with a bunch of people from all over the country, right?

That are

representatives and senators, state senators from all over the United States.

This is awesome.

And I wanted to bring you in, and you fought against it, but I wanted to bring you in because

you and

Gayan

were phenomenal.

up in Idaho.

I mean, real ESG warriors.

And I have said, are you up for re-election by any chance?

I am.

I've I've got a challenger tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow's our, yes, tomorrow.

I have said, everyone needs to know where your candidate stands on ESG.

And if they're not warriors,

then they should not be in office.

This is so critical that we rid ourselves of ESG at the state level.

And Barbara, you and Gayanne were.

Is she running for re-election?

She is.

She's got a ridiculous challenger, too.

She's.

Okay.

All right.

So

how about

Sage Dixon?

Is he running?

He's running and he's got a challenge.

Oh, gosh,

please, please

get these things done.

The senator, the other one was Steve.

Senator Steve Vick, who is phenomenal.

He has decided to retire, and it's a great loss to the Senate.

Yeah, he was fantastic, but you guys were the warriors

on this.

Now, tell me where it stands because

we didn't anticipate the banking lobby coming in.

Wow.

Yeah.

you know, what

people don't understand, and you had mentioned it right before you had come.

You came in to meet with us, to meet with our leadership.

And, you know, it was, our people were fired up.

And part of what we are doing is we're all learning about ESG and getting that legislation out there.

Is the legislation we had wasn't quite ready for Idaho.

A little time passed, and we were getting up against the end.

And yeah, so then we had, you know, some of the bankers come out.

And they don't understand what's going on.

It's so much like all the other legislation that goes national, you know, whether it's legislation I've written, that people come out with their talking points and that's what they think it is.

And so we just didn't have the time, I believe, to educate them.

And it's, you know, the gentleman whom you just had on from Utah, he has done a phenomenal job educating his bankers in Utah.

And we are going to work to bring him to Idaho to help with our bankers because, you know, sometimes they need an authority that speaks their language, right?

And that's what we're going to, and he's, you know, oh man, he was awesome.

That's why these treasurers are so important.

Because if they're good, you know, they've come from the business world, they've come from the banking, financial world, or the investment world, and they can explain it and speak the language.

That's what we're going to do.

So that they can be mono-on-mano speaking that language to get them on board.

You were, weren't you the one...

Was you the first in America to pass or bring the legislation to protect girls' sports?

I was.

We did that in Idaho in 2020.

I was the author of the one to promote the fairness in women's sports, and now I've been able to help as 15 other states have been able to pass it.

I've testified personally in three states or four states over the last two years and

like 20 or 30 via Zoom.

And it's been a phenomenal experience there, Glenn, just to see people stand up and protect something so basic because the fact that girls and boys are different.

I mean,

it's truly crazy.

I mean, if you want to be a boy on a girls' team, fine, then there needs to be a special category for you.

Right.

Girls cannot, I mean, if they were playing football, every dad of the boys, every dad would be on the sidelines going, hey, hey, hey, she's getting hurt because

you cannot take on these huge boys.

They're just different.

Oh, and you know, some of the mantra that the left is using, it amuses me.

And I use it it now in my testimony that, you know, it's about the humanity and the community and the inclusivity.

And it's not about that at all, because if it was, then players wouldn't get cut and coaches wouldn't get fired.

It's about winning.

It's about winning.

So it's simply.

Yeah, we're not, but we don't, I mean, it's so funny.

Texas is very different when it comes to football.

It's about winning.

Exactly.

My son was,

he's on a football team in a small school.

And one of the schools he played brought a, I think it was like a Civil War cannon to the game.

And every time they

scored a touchdown, the cannon went off.

I love it.

Yeah.

I tried to bribe the guy to do it for us, but he wouldn't do it.

Sweet.

Yeah.

Okay.

So

talk to me a little bit about the governor's race.

You know,

it's, to be quite honest, that race has, it's been pretty contentious.

And my race, Glenn, has been just busy enough.

And

I mean, I've had to deal with a lot of mistruths, so I've really been enamored in mine.

I am.

Can I just ask you this?

Yeah.

Here's my impression

of

Governor Little, right?

He is our governor.

Yeah.

Wow.

Not necessarily good.

He was, do you know him at all, Pat?

I don't know him.

Yeah, but you know what?

What do I know of him?

and he said to me on ESG yesterday, I didn't know anything about it, but I called one of my friends in the bank, and I think I have last night, and I think I have a pretty good handle on it.

I bet he does after calling his friend at the bank.

Yeah, that he does.

I said, wow, it took us two years to

be able to do that.

Well, heaven knows if Governor Little is our little, we're, I mean, our governor, then we're going to need him to get this ESG stuff passed too.

So whoever our governor is, you know, I know.

you're for whoever will help us.

I am for whoever will help us advance and get this passed.

Because you know, one thing you said to us, Glenn, and

again, the gentleman, Mr.

Oaks, that you had had on here earlier, he can speak this language with you inside and out.

It is a little bit complicated.

So you're right in what you just said.

And it's taken me reading.

And I don't know, even know what you know.

Gayan, for example.

got your great reset and immediately started listening to it.

You know, on she told me she listened to it like four times and was starting to really understand.

And that's what I'm working on.

But the one thing I understand, and this is the language that I understand more than anything because I love America.

I understand that it is the reconstruction and the deconstruction of our Constitution.

That alone tells me and should tell everyone who loves this country that's wrong because you don't even know what the new government will be.

So, but you know you're not going to be in charge and you know you're not going to have your rights.

So people, you've got to speak up.

At the very least, understand that.

Our Constitution will not be the rule of law.

Uh, thank you so much for everything that you absolutely are doing.

And I appreciate you left the meeting and came over.

And I know it was against your will.

You were like,

I don't need to be on the air.

I don't want to be on the air.

I appreciate that.

Right, right.

No, thank you so much, Glenn.

This is awesome.

Thank you.

And thanks for the work you do.

Yeah, thank you.

All right, back in just a second.

First, let me tell you: oh, by the way, we have the mom on

of the kid, I think it's in Colorado, of the elementary school kid that was

told by a teacher, hey, you should join this, you know, gay, lesbian, bi, trans, whatever, uh, club that we're having.

And in the club, hey, don't share this with your parents.

Uh, and the girl was told that if she's not completely happy with her body, and let me just leave it there.

Do you know any woman who's completely happy with their body?

Because I've never met them and I've met supermodels and I've never met them.

But if you're not 100% comfortable, young ladies in your body, it's probably because

you're transgendered.

Oh, okay.

We have that mom on with us in just a few minutes.

Not only is the Federal Reserve affecting interest rates, they are also bringing out a more volatile stock market.

And that hurts the consumer.

That hurts you and your wealth and your spending.

You know what really pisses me off about all this stuff is when I'm looking at investing in something, all I want to do is I've worked hard for my money.

I just want to know I will have that money.

If I could put it in a bank or something, just

can I have the money that I earned safely?

No, not in today's world.

No, no idea.

No idea what the government's going to do.

No idea what the banks are going to do, the Fed's going to do, the treasury's going to do, stock market.

I have no idea.

American Financing knows that you need to take action right now to save as much money as possible.

And if you have high interest credit cards that you're trying to pay down, maybe the best thing to do is look at the equity that you have in your house, which by the way will disappear quickly.

Act now.

Take that equity and turn it into cash to pay off those credit cards.

It's better to pay 5% interest than 19% interest.

Pay them off.

The Glenback Program.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Oh my gosh.

What a day.

What a day.

Pat Gray is sitting in for

Stu, who is having some really extensive plastic surgery done.

I,

you know, we didn't want to say anything and because it's tried not to.

It's, yeah, it's actually, but it really bothers him, you know, his eyes and

nose, cheeks,

flappy skin underneath.

But double chins, triple chins.

But we hope that it is, he's having it done in Tijuana, which is

cost-effective, but

he says they're good down in Tijuana.

I've heard that from other people, that they're good, but I don't know.

We'll see, I guess.

We'll see.

We'll see.

So

I will tell you that

I was inspired this weekend, sincerely inspired

at the climate change summit.

Oh, were you?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, Kamala Harris was there.

I wouldn't expect that.

Yeah, I know.

Well, but she's such an inspiration.

She's so eloquent, though.

Oh, my God.

She turned you around, right?

She turned me around because I thought I don't want to be alone.

Right.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

And here's what she said.

That is especially true when it comes to the climate crisis, which is why we we will work together and continue to work together to address these issues, to tackle these challenges, and to work together as we continue to work

operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements that we will convene to work together on

to galvanize global action.

With that, I thank you all.

This is a matter of urgent priority for all of us.

Yes,

and I know we will work on this together.

Yes,

Do you think she knows?

Do you think?

No.

Okay, I didn't think so.

Seriously, do you think she's like, oh, crap, I'm in one of the things.

I'm stuck in a loop.

Yeah.

It doesn't seem like she knows.

Oh, my God.

Does it?

So bad.

She seems completely unaware that she keeps saying work together five times in one paragraph.

I saw somebody say it is like it is like watching somebody in high school

that did not prepare

you know for their their book report and they have to write a thousand words and so they just keep saying the same thing over and over just in a slightly different way yeah every every just to stretch it out that's exactly what this is like it is it is i don't know i don't have any idea what this meeting is about except we all have to come together on it.

I wasn't listening.

I didn't read the report.

So I don't know what we're talking about.

But I want to talk to you about working together what we're doing here working together we are gonna we're gonna start working together on working together because we'll do that together when we are together working together yeah the skies

the sky is unlimited on what we can really do when we work together and that's why I think working together is so important for the children wouldn't it you should have thrown that in too for the children for the children for the children you learned that from Michael Jackson.

He did a lot of stuff for the children.

Yeah, a lot of

things.

You know, speaking of that, just real quick, my wife won't give up Michael Jackson.

She still listens to Michael Jackson from time to time.

Really?

Which has made me, you know, I've checked her closet from, you know, I've just like, are there any children in here?

What's going on?

And hopefully the answer is no.

The answer is no.

No children.

No, no children.

No children.

But do you listen to them together?

Do you work on that together?

Sometimes we work on it together.

Yeah, we're working.

We're working on the Michael Jackson thing together.

Together.

But,

you know,

I just happened to, you know, I just, again, happened to hear Keep It in the Closet.

And

I kind of question all of us,

you know, how

we knew about the closet that was a little plaything with the Jesus juice and the little kids.

And then he wrote a sexual song song about keeping it in the closet and I'm

I mean I think I should have bet on another country at that point at that point we should have said yeah America will collapse just not smart enough just not smart enough to figure things out and this one this one is an easy one that's God saying

guys if you can't figure that it only gets harder from here this is the Glenn Back program

Got no room to compromise.

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

Stand up straight and hold the line.

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

This is the Glenback program.

Hello, America.

I have a disturbing story to share with you from a Colorado mom

who

has a 12-year-old daughter.

She was invited by an art teacher to an art club at school.

Turns out not exactly, you know, art.

It was a GSA club.

We all know what that is, of course.

GSA, a gender and sexuality alliance club.

She went in,

she was asked of her sexual attraction.

She's 12.

The speaker said, if you're not 100% comfortable in your own body, maybe it's because you're transgender.

Not good.

Not good.

Mom brought it up.

Mom's the bad guy.

Nope, I don't think so.

This is a disturbing story because it's happening absolutely everywhere.

But it's a good story because people are standing up.

And I think this Colorado mom has more allies than she can even imagine.

We talked to her in 60 seconds.

Okay.

You know, I was talking last hour about how

wrong inflation is.

And when you take away the free market and you replace it with a Fed-driven market, which is what our stock market was, once the Fed stops pouring money into it, what happens?

Six weeks in a row now, the Dow has dropped.

So if you had money in the stock market, you lost a lot, a lot.

And then inflation with your bank account.

Your retirement savings lost.

If you have stuff in your bank account because of inflation, that's losing money.

I just would like to have the money I have earned over my lifetime.

But the Fed's not helping you.

Neither is the Treasury or the federal government.

In fact, we are looking at real, real

problems.

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

Biden's plan now is to spend another

trillion dollars.

During hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic, silver went from 12 marks an ounce to 544 billion marks per ounce.

That's the real number.

It wasn't so long ago, and it could happen again.

Goldline has some of the most sought-after silver products in the precious metals market.

Please call them.

Find out about the new Ben Franklin Silver Rounds.

They are unbelievable.

They're really great.

Goldline is giving away silver maple flex bars with qualifying orders of the Ben Franklin Silver Rounds this week.

These, I'm buying, I'm buying silver rounds.

These Ben Franklin things, they are

fantastic.

They're just fantastic.

Check them out yourself.

Call them 866Goldline, 866Goldline, or goldline.com.

Okay,

let's meet this

poor mom, Erin Lee, full-time working mother of three.

Hi, Erin.

How are you?

Hi, Glenn.

I'm well.

Thanks for having me.

You bet.

You bet.

I read your story and I just

honestly, I am glad this isn't happening to my children because I don't think I have the restraint to be a decent human being if this was happening to my children.

Can you tell us exactly what happened?

Yeah, so last year my shy, vulnerable, barely 12-year-old daughter who had just moved to a new school at the height of COVID protocol was recruited by her art teacher and her homeroom teacher to attend art club after school.

So she texted us.

We gave our permission for art club.

When she got there, it was actually GSA or Gender and Sexuality Awareness or Alliance Club.

And the teacher teacher had invited in a completely unqualified outside presenter who did unthinkable things with the children and I'll give you the cliff notes version she told them what you hear in here keep in here She used flags to describe defining words telling them that if they're not fully comfortable in their bodies that means they're transgender and then she would hand out the flags and stickers and bracelets and other swag.

She told them that queer is a label for when they're still figuring out their sexuality.

She did the genderbred person, which explicitly asks kids who they're sexually attracted to.

So 11, 12, 13-year-olds with peers and adults in the room talking about their sexuality.

She handed out her personal contact information and invited them to connect on team chat platforms like WhatsApp and Discord, where she knows that parents are not monitoring the conversation.

And she told them that families might not be safe and it's okay to lie about where they are.

And in fact, the art teacher, as my daughter was leaving the room that day, pulled her aside and said, remember, you don't have to tell your mom.

Okay, so

what happened?

You bring this up.

I've seen the emails.

What has happened?

So thank God, my daughter got in the car and I could see on her face when I picked her up that something was wrong.

And so we probed and were we're really fortunate that she told us what happened.

We've seen all kinds of horror stories about teachers and presenters like this leading kids down this transgender path, you know, leading them into medical transition.

So we're lucky we caught it right when it happened.

Somehow remained calm enough to follow the appropriate channels.

I mean, we were livid.

We were confused.

We didn't even believe this was real at first.

So our first step was to contact the woman who gave her personal information to my child.

And her response was delusional.

It doubled down on everything that she did.

And so we demanded a sit-down with the principal, and he confirmed that this, in fact, happened in secret, that they always hold this meeting in secret because as a public school, they have to offer children a safe space.

So essentially a safe space from their families.

We took it to the school board.

They ignored my pleas for months.

When I finally got a sit-down with the board member, it turns out she's best friends with the woman who came into the classroom.

Oh my gosh.

Volunteers with her organization.

This woman has an organization called Skittles for kids 5 to 11 to talk about their sexuality and gender identity.

And our school board member volunteers with Skittles.

So we realize, and again, those FOIA emails showed that they immediately colluded when I objected to what happened.

They immediately colluded with the school board to keep me quiet.

They referenced parents who find out as barriers that the school board has removed.

They talked about sending social services into my home because I didn't like what they did with my child.

This one is so far.

I mean, all of it is over the line.

But when they actually suggest that maybe we need to do a well check on this child, basically internally saying, is there something that the school district can do to

put this parent in their place?

Maybe they're being abused.

This child's being abused.

Or maybe because they are transgender, the parent doesn't want to admit it.

So we're going to send in a well-check team.

That is a direct threat to you.

Absolutely.

And my daughter had never expressed gender dysphoria before.

She never expressed that she'd had any trouble at home.

They never spoke to me.

I never spoke to any of the people that did these things before they decided to talk about calling CPS.

I think they knew we were at our most vulnerable moment as a family that they caused.

And in the state of Colorado, if my child had said to CPS that I wasn't affirming her transgender identity, I firmly believe they would have removed her from the home.

Oh, yeah, they would have.

And the people knew this, right, when they suggested that CPS come to our home to remove our child.

And if our child is not under our care, then they have full control of her brain and her heart.

My gosh, Erin, can you believe you live in the United States of America?

You know,

Colorado is off the rails in particular, but this is happening everywhere.

I mean, this isn't just unique to California and Colorado.

This is happening in conservative states and conservative communities, this kind of secretive sexuality programming and vilifying parents, you know, assuming that parents are evil until proven innocent.

It's happening everywhere.

So where does it stand now?

Still has not been addressed.

Nothing has been

happened.

We got a lot of false promises from school administration, a lot of, you know, they showed empathy, and I realize now it was just gaslighting.

They realized the repercussions that could potentially happen and it's happening right now for them.

And they tried really hard to keep me quiet by making false promises.

But my FOIA requests and their actions show me that it was just gaslighting.

So do you have any other parents that are standing with you?

You know, it felt for a long time like I was alone on an island with this issue and I wanted to believe it was an isolated incident and the more we've looked into it we realize just how deeply this agenda runs in our school district and obviously the school board is involved the teachers unions are involved at the local level at the state level

so we realize that that this is an issue that isn't going away the the teachers unions can you tell me about the involvement of the teachers unions

Yeah, well, they're just deeply involved with our school board, with our decisions.

The woman who was in the classroom, this outside presenter, is an employee of the county health department.

We have proof that she's had multiple meetings with the local school board president.

I'm sorry, school union president.

So we've just realized that they're all deeply entrenched with each other.

So what are you going to do now?

I know your child is out at a Christian school doing fine now, but what are you going to do?

Yes, and I have a second grader who remained in the school district for the rest of this year who will now be moving to a charter school that was founded on know the principles of parental rights and it's really a pretty conservative school so we're lucky that we removed our children but parents need to get louder community members grandparents this we have to speak up especially at the school board level and let them know that what they're doing isn't okay demand curriculum transparency other parents need to get their kids out of this district it's not safe So I continue to sound the alarm because we tried every other avenue and it didn't work.

I mean, we contacted the police after this happened.

Had it been on a playground, that would have been my first call.

The only reason I remained calm is because it was with a trusted teacher in a closed setting and I didn't fully understand everything that happened.

But the police indicated that because there was no exposure of body parts or physical touch, that there are no legal repercussions.

But our sheriff did tell me I need to get loud because just because it's not illegal doesn't mean it isn't wrong.

And other parents deserve the opportunity to protect their children like I couldn't.

I'll tell you, listening to your your sheriff.

Sheriff, that sounds like a good sheriff.

What town are you in or what district are you in?

So I'm in the Puder School District, which is Fort Collins, Colorado.

We live in a small suburb outside of Fort Collins, only about 10,000 people.

And it's

generally conservative.

Yeah, it's conservative, right?

It is.

And so they target our area.

Some of those FOIA emails revealed that they realize this is a conservative community, and so they're going to target it and put as much programming in place as they can and they did the week after this happened this same woman was in our boys and girls club with elementary age students same thing don't tell your parents and some parents found out and and raised their concern now she's in removed from boys and girls club but she's in our libraries she knows how can this be in a conservative community nobody is standing up with you

Well, now they are.

Okay, good.

It just has all been so secretive, and that's their intent.

And again, in those emails, you can see that they said, How we deal with this parent sets a precedent moving forward.

So they knew that, you know, they didn't want anyone to find out.

And as soon as I found out, they knew that there would be some serious repercussions.

And they tried very hard to keep me quiet.

But now that this has gained so much attention, there's a lot of people in the community who have spoken up and a lot of parents who have had this same thing happen.

I've had multiple families reach out and say, this same thing happened with the same teacher in that school.

What do we do?

A lot of people just didn't know.

They didn't know to connect the dots.

That is an unsafe.

That's an unsafe teacher.

Who still teaches and who is still the GSA sponsor at that school?

I mean, how, I mean, because of the teachers' unions, you'll never get rid of them.

But I mean, I am a big supporter of the arts, huge supporter of the arts.

I'm an artist myself.

And I, my children's school really, you know, doesn't have, you know, the arts in their school.

It's an academic school, so they don't do the arts very well.

And I have to tell you, it bothers me, but I would never put my kid in that art class with an, I think that's an unsafe teacher.

When I can't,

when I can't go and meet with a teacher and know that I'm hearing the truth about what my child is doing, I got no time for you.

These people think, you know, like Joe Biden said, that these are their children while they're there.

No, they're not.

You work for me.

I don't work for you.

That's the assumption that these children belong to them.

And since this happened, our school has hired three administrative staff: a chief academic equity, diversity, inclusion officer making triple what a teacher makes.

They hired a DEI coordinator and they hired an LGBTQIA plus coordinator.

10,000.

Well, for the school district, but her job description literally says coaching students, advancing LGBTQIA programming, and increasing gender support plans.

And I don't know if you know what those are.

I'm not really sure.

Can you give me an extra minute?

Let me do a commercial and then come back.

Sure.

Okay, back in just a second.

This thing absolutely.

If it's happening in Fort Collins, it's happening everywhere.

And what's really disturbing is she's saying, no, we were targeted because we are a conservative district.

God.

I have to tell you, we're talking to Erin Lee.

She's a full-time working mom of three and now has another full-time job of just trying to figure out what's happening in her school and school district.

I have to tell you,

these teachers' unions, if you are a teacher and you are still paying your dues, and I, parents, start telling your teachers this.

If you are still paying dues to a teachers' union, you don't have to belong to, you're part of the problem.

I don't care how great you are, how trusted you are.

I cannot trust you if you're still helping fund this kind of stuff.

Anyway, Aaron,

welcome back.

Yeah.

So

you were saying

this new

gender equity

consultant at the school is doing something that I don't think I've heard of.

What was it?

Gender support plans, and they're secretive.

So I'm not shocked that you haven't heard of them, but everyone needs to be aware because they do these everywhere.

It's not just here in Colorado.

It's happening everywhere.

These gender support plans are essentially transition plans for children.

So written plans to transition their gender.

And usually these happen in secret.

The gender support plans have verbiage for the educators to gauge parents' support.

And if the support is low, they don't tell them.

And it's happening in our elementary schools here.

And this person was hired to increase gender support plans.

So secretly transitioning kids in our public schools.

This is evil.

This is just straight up evil.

It is.

I mean,

who do you think you are?

And to keep it secret, to keep it secret, that's the problem.

You want a transition plan?

Great.

Present it at the school board hearing.

Let the community see it.

you know and then if you want to protect the kids

you know their identity while they're doing it you're how can you do that how can they transition and keep it from the kids at school they'll just keep it from the parents my gosh this is evil just evil right

and not just that our this LGBTQ coordinator and our director of student services and other school staff have directed all nurses in our district to first of all if a child comes to you for anything ask their pronouns so if a kindergartner has a tummy ache first question is okay what's your pronoun if I call home what name do I call you but they've also been instructed to not tell parents if a child is suicidal cutting or oh my gosh

oh my gosh now we're getting

suicide attempts from parents as well

and what is the reason for that

because parents aren't safe Parents might not be safe.

So if we tell parents that this child is suicidal, it's going to make it worse.

Get your kids

out of schools get them out of these schools work vote for people that will give school choice and the money will follow the children this has got to stop it's got to stop

uh Aaron, you contact me anytime that you need some backup reinforcement.

You need people to know about something.

You call me anytime.

All right.

Thank you.

I will.

God bless you.

Thank you so much.

Where are you, parents?

Where are you, conservatives?

Credit card debt is incredibly sensitive when it comes to rate hikes.

It's already,

you know, usually the debt with the highest interest rate to begin with.

And now, credit cards, are you kidding me?

Average rate on a new card is nearly 20%.

That's absurd.

And it's only going to get much worse.

Everything you do right now should be trying to get yourself out of debt.

May I recommend taking a few minutes out of your day today, call American Financing for a free mortgage review.

Right now, mortgage rates are in the fives, but they're fixed rates, so you can spend less on interest and get out of that debt much, much faster just by doing a cash out refinance.

Could mean saving up to $1,000 a month in monthly savings without having to restart your mortgage term.

So please, please find out your options.

Welcome to

the Glen Beck program.

I am so glad that you joined us today.

Boy, oh boy, oh boy.

We've got some.

Oh,

wait until I tell you.

On tomorrow's program, we're going to cover the school, the uh, the Wisconsin middle schoolers that have been accused of sexual harassment

because they refuse to call a student they-them.

wait until you hear that one

uh

all right let's see i've got uh

i have i have steve on

who do we we have brian brian smith on now brian

good morning glenn tell

tell uh steve um reschedule uh when he calls um brian how are you

doing great this morning thank you i am uh i'm thrilled to talk to you.

Just so you know, America, this is a very personal

interview because

Brian is running to be the representative in my district in Idaho.

And they are talking about, I live in a district of farmers.

And you should know that all over the country, but here is a great example,

they are trying to get rid of a lot of our dams for power reasons.

You know, the fish, and I like them for power reasons, but also we get all of our farming water from the reservoirs.

And if you get rid of the dams, that's going to be a problem.

And I know they're not talking about it in the lower part of the state, but

some of the Republicans are actually talking about getting rid of some of the dams, right?

Breaching the dams?

That's correct.

And you're not.

No, Mike Simpson, the guy wants to breach dams.

Perfect.

Perfect.

And what would that do?

So it would destroy the water transportation system from Lewiston, Idaho out to Portland.

There are 3,000 Idaho grain growers that ship their grain, the equivalent of about 880 semi-truckloads a week.

They use barges to barge their grain.

That would destroy that.

It would also destroy clean, emission-free hydroelectric power for about 800,000 homes.

That's enough electricity for the entire state of Idaho.

And it will threaten to increase electrical rates for all ratepayers.

So it sounds like a really good idea.

I can see why they might be voting for your competitor there.

Brian, you're running for the U.S.

House,

but have you been in politics before?

So I ran in 2014 against Mike Simpson because he was just too liberal, and he's accomplished the impossible.

He's gotten far worse, so I'm running against him again.

I've never been in public office.

I've been involved in the Idaho political, you know, the Republican Party, but I've never been elected to anything

by the public.

But I hold that as a badge of honor.

Do you have any idea

what you'd be getting yourself into?

I mean, I have so many friends that go to Washington and they're like, Glenn, I thought I knew.

It's, I mean, it's evil what's happening now at Washington.

That's a quote from somebody.

Yeah, it's probably like raising teenagers.

You're probably better off not knowing.

I don't know.

Teenagers might be less frustrating, and I know how frustrating they are.

I've had four.

So, Brian, the big issues that you are looking into, first of all, ESG.

Do you know about it?

And are you for middle ground or against?

I know about ESG.

I totally oppose it.

It is basically

credit scores for social thinking, and I totally oppose that.

And what is the,

so far so good.

What is the biggest issue that you feel you have to tackle?

Well, first, from our state, Mike Simpson's just been a terrible career politician.

He's been a liberal.

He's voted for things that are just totally contrary to the people in my district.

And so the first thing I need to tackle is we need to send somebody from our district who will stick up for our dams.

who will be for

pro-life,

somebody who's been been endorsed by CPAC.

That's an endorsement I have.

And also Idaho chooses life.

So the first big issue for me is to have somebody actually be a conservative voice from Idaho speaking out against the liberals and the leftists.

And Brian, I did not realize how big of a problem this was in really conservative areas.

I mean, your district is very conservative.

And your...

you know, your competition is

liberal, but he is a Republican.

And so people are like, oh, no, he's a Republican.

He's great.

No, no, no, no.

We've got to stop these

fake Republicans, these Mitt Romneys from getting in.

The,

what's his name?

Turtleface Pat McConnell.

You got to stop with these guys.

Otherwise, we're never going to get anywhere.

We're never going to be able to save our country.

Glenn, when I ran last time in 2014, Mitt Romney endorsed Mike Simpson.

Holy cow, that should be the indictment.

And Simpson also voted against, or he voted for the January 6th Commission.

He said Trump was unfit to be president.

He's opposed term limits.

He's everything that we oppose.

Last year in January, co-sponsored a bill to give special transgender rights to people.

He is just bad for Idaho, and we need somebody who will speak out and represent our values.

Tomorrow is the primary, right?

Yes, tomorrow is the big day.

How you doing?

We think we're doing very well.

I mean, it should be, I mean, I've heard neck and neck.

Yeah, I think that's an accurate description.

Okay.

Usually an endorsement from me is a kiss of death.

So I just don't endorse people because it never works out.

I'm thinking about endorsing anyone but

your competitor.

But

I have heard a lot of really great things about you.

And while I don't endorse anybody, I do hope people will take a strong look.

And then when they're in the primary and they close that curtain behind them or stand up with their ballot, they ask themselves, do you want more of this same crap?

Because the people who have been giving us this crap cannot change it.

They created it.

And we need change desperately.

And not just any change, but change with people who really truly understand it.

You want a guy who's not going to fight for your water, your energy with the dams?

Do you know what that's going to mean?

You can't stop taking energy at this point from your dams.

You can't get rid of the reservoir.

Half the darn state is a desert and you're growing things in it.

Yeah, but they're trying to save the salmon pot.

Oh, I know, I know, I know.

It's very

salmon.

Very important.

Super important.

If anyone understands how broken this system is in Washington, you cannot go with Mitt Romney or Mitt Romney wannabes.

You can't.

If you have those kinds of people in there, they will never do the heavy lifting of closing down agency.

How do you feel about closing down the Department of Ed?

Oh, it'd be my first priority if I had that.

Great.

All over the Department of Education.

What'd you say?

If I had the ability to sprinkle magic evaporation dust, disappearing dust, I'd sprinkle it all over the Department of Education.

Oh, my gosh, it is a nightmare.

This is the kind of politician that you want.

You want someone, I don't care where you're voting tomorrow, if they don't say,

absolutely, if I had the power, I would dissolve the Department of Education tomorrow.

That is something that every single parent in this country should be fighting for.

Somebody that understands that ESG is going to put you right in the crosshairs and we're close to it.

We cannot have any more wishy-washy people.

Brian, thank you for calling in.

And I sincerely wish you the best of luck.

It's Brian Smith.

Remember that name?

Brian Smith, U.S.

House candidate.

And Brian, if you do get in,

I'm going to, you know, I'll be your best friend or your worst nightmare

if you get in there and you start doing crappy stuff.

Glenn, you and I will be friends.

People even even tell me that we look a lot alike.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Brian.

I'm so sorry.

Brian.

Can I do a plug for the website, BrianSmithforIdaho.com?

No.

What is it again?

BrianSmith for Idaho.com.

No, absolutely.

Don't mention it.

Can't let you do it.

Thank you very much.

Thanks, Brian.

I appreciate it.

Tomorrow is yet another primary in more states, and it is so

important

that you get out.

I'm going to tell you a story.

Last week, last weekend, it was

voting in

our local town.

And I'm not going to say who I was going to vote for or whatever.

But I came home because I had been working all day, didn't have a chance, completely forgot.

My wife came

when I got in, she said, did you vote?

And I'm like, oh, crap.

No.

So we looked it up.

The person I was going to vote against

won

by one vote.

No.

As it turns out,

when they recounted,

that person lost by six votes.

Thank God.

Oh.

But I was, I couldn't sleep.

I was like, I can't.

What have I done?

What have I done?

Please, everyone in this audience, when you get to a day where you are holding these primaries, you can't just have a Republican.

You have to have lions in there.

Lions.

Back in just a minute.

Did you know that kids can be target of identity theft just like adults can?

School or medical office data breaches are common.

And that's what happens.

Information is exposed to cyber thieves.

You can help protect your child's identity by limiting how you share their social security number.

But everybody, I mean, what's crazy, I've had my kids under Life Lock since their birth because when you get to, you know, actually go out and have credit, you might find out that their credit is destroyed because somebody was using it for years and years and years.

This is one of the reasons Life Lock is there.

They can't catch everything.

Nobody can, but they can monitor things better than you can on your own.

And I think they're the best.

And here's one of the reasons.

If you do become a victim, their restoration specialist will work with you to help fix the problem quickly.

One of the other reasons is Life Lock is partners with Norton, and we know how good Norton is.

Oh man, I am getting more and more angry at these Republicans and the Republican infrastructure when they are just promoting guys like

what's his name?

Mike Simpson.

Mike Simpson.

This guy, listen to that.

This is his plan

for water and the dams to

save the salmon.

He wants to remove four hydroelectric dams, replacing the electricity lost, though the article doesn't say how they're going to replace it.

Well, that's easy.

You just, you know, one of these magic things.

Yeah, one one of these magic things.

All right.

Well, then that's covered.

So if you get rid of the hydroelectric and the coal, that's going to be fantastic.

Won't it, though?

Yes.

They're going to pay communities and businesses and give American Indian tribes more power.

At a cost.

This is a conservative.

Yes, supposedly.

Supposedly a conservative.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But it's a way to end the salmon wars.

People have been fighting over endangered salmon in the area for decades.

And it's only going to cost $33.5 billion.

Oh, that's it?

That's all.

Oh, my God.

That's not great.

Right?

That's not bad.

Oh, no, that's good.

So you remove the hydroelectric power that's clean and efficient and renewable, by the way,

and you replace it with magic pixie dust.

That's going to be good.

And you save some salmon.

That's going to be good.

That's going to be good.

I love it.

I love it.

So, look, I mean, here's the thing.

And you have to, this is happening in your state, too.

Okay.

This is happening in every state.

Something is going on everywhere.

It is.

And it's happening with our Republicans.

That's why when I was talking to Brian Smith, I don't endorse anybody, but I got to tell you,

if

you're not voting tomorrow,

if there is a vote, if you're not voting in the primary, you are part of the problem.

Okay.

And I hope somebody, I hope your candidate loses by one

because, man, that just, that killed me when I thought that was.

Luckily, six other people went out.

It's this close.

It's this close.

And anyone who is saying, we got to take down the hydroelectric dams, you know, to save the Sam, he has no idea what time it is in America.

I don't know what planet that person is from.

And that's a Republican?

No, dear heavens.

Brian Smith, get out and vote for Brian Smith.

BrianSmithforidaho.com.

Fortunately, that's not an endorsement.

That's just a suggestion.

It's a suggestion.

It's just a suggestion.

Look, I don't live there full time.

I don't, you know.

And I'm not going to give, I just don't, because it's always a kiss of death.

That's the main reason.

It's always a kiss of death.

So let me just,

so I'm not tempting fate.

Don't like the guy.

Yeah, I don't like the guy.

Not good.

You should endorse is Mike Simpson.

He'll for sure know.

Oh, gosh.

How could anyone

claim that they are a conservative?

You're trying to save the freaking fish.

I don't care if it's the last fish on earth

at this time with everything else that's going on with energy and water.

Insanity.

Insane.

You might as well be a Republican in California for the love of Pete.

District 2.

Brian Smith.
