Speaker 1
Hey, welcome to the podcast. It starts out with a bang today.
We give you the real news behind the great reset. Oh, it's a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1 Really? Is it?
Speaker 1 We have some evidence that's pretty compelling that it's not. We'll take you to the European Union and a big update on that.
Speaker 1 Also, we have the governor of Montana on with us today who just passed a defense of the First Amendment bill.
Speaker 1 We talked to somebody else.
Speaker 1 We've just started a project with a partner of ours that is going to take your case if you happen to be fired because of political differences or your son or daughter in school got a bad grade because they wouldn't participate in
Speaker 1
race theory. We've got representation for you and a job for the rest of us to do.
That's on today's podcast as well.

Speaker 2 You're listening to the best of the Blendback program.
Speaker 2 All right, if you...
Speaker 1 If you've been following the program for any given time here in the last few months, you've heard of the Great Reset. Let me set it out just in case you happen to be stumbling into us.
Speaker 1
There's Talk Radio. What? I've never heard of this.
And you're just tuning in for the first time. Welcome.
Thank you for listening. This all started because
Speaker 1
of climate change. But then COVID happened.
And the World Economic Forum was like, wait a minute, we don't need climate change to get started. We got COVID.
Speaker 1 And now that we've dismantled the world, let's put it back closer to our heart's desire.
Speaker 1 So that's when the World Economic Forum launched 2020, the radical Great Reset Initiative, in partnership with various leaders from the public and private sectors, including our own Joe Biden, who used the Great Reset slogan as his campaign slogan.
Speaker 1 Do you remember? Build Back Better! Which sounded ridiculous. It sounded either like it had been put together by a second grader or Build Back Better is not its original language, English.
Speaker 1 Yeah, you're right. It's not mine either, so cut me some slack.
Speaker 1
So Build Back Better was used not only here in America, but in England and in France, all over the world as campaign slogans. Whoa, what a coincidence.
It's also the slogan
Speaker 1 for the great reset.
Speaker 1 So now you have the public people doing it, and now you also have the CEO of major corporations, as well as banks, central banks, financial institutions, labor unions, international organizations.
Speaker 1
All of them coming together to push the reset button on the global economy because we need it. Capitalism just doesn't work.
It doesn't work. And believe me, your kids buy into this.
Speaker 1 I don't care how old they are. Your kids are hearing this in school and they're buying into it.
Speaker 1 Now,
Speaker 1
we're not practicing capitalism now. What we're practicing is corrupt capitalism or crony capitalism.
True capitalism is a real, true free market where the government doesn't pick winners and losers.
Speaker 1 That's what's been happening. And the way they pick them is like, mmm, gee, who's gonna help me get elected or re-elected?
Speaker 1
Well, hey, there's this little company called Google. Yes.
Hi, Google. How much to my re-election committee? That's how capitalism is working now.
And everybody gets rich except for you,
Speaker 1 for those who aren't playing the game. Okay, so we've been telling you about this stakeholder capitalism, this idea of everyone's a stakeholder.
Speaker 1 So it's not just the people who own the companies, you know, or the shareholders. Shareholder capitalism is evil because it only worries about profit.
Speaker 1 We all have a stake in that company because they're using our water and our air. Uh-huh.
Speaker 1 So stakeholder capitalism is the Chinese model. Whatever is happening over in China with their system, that's basically what we're going to get all over the world with a giant world government.
Speaker 1 No, no, don't worry. You'll be able to,
Speaker 1 if you like your government, you'll be able to keep your government. Don't worry.
Speaker 1 Okay, so now every country is in on this. And you
Speaker 1 say that, you know, it's a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Great Reset. It talks about on the World Economic Forum, but, you know, nobody's really going to do that.
Okay, all right, okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 The first thing they have to do to have the great reset is to create a variety of new government programs, including policies similar to the far-left Green New Deal resolution
Speaker 1 that is now called the Infrastructure Bill.
Speaker 1 Did you know that? Has anybody really put that in perspective? All of the things that were in the Green New Deal, most of them are now
Speaker 1 in the infrastructure bill.
Speaker 1 The second thing
Speaker 1 is the global
Speaker 1 adoption of environmental, social, and governance standards.
Speaker 1 Now, what is this? Well, we've talked to the banks. The banks have...
Speaker 1 One of the five biggest banks of the country called me shockingly after one show and said, one TV show on the internet behind a paywall.
Speaker 1 And they called to say, we just want you to know this is corporate headquarters for big money, big bank. And we just want you to know,
Speaker 1
you got that all wrong. Really? Well, we'd love to correct it.
No, you don't need to correct anything. I mean, you didn't get anything wrong wrong.
Speaker 1 You just, you know, you're phrasing it in a way it sounds scary.
Speaker 1 Could you phrase it in a way where it doesn't sound scary?
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1
We're not scary people. We'd never do it the scary way.
Oh,
Speaker 1 I'll get right on that story.
Speaker 1 So,
Speaker 1
what they're saying is the ESGs are just for your education. That's all it is.
It's so you can make smart investments. Okay,
Speaker 1 well, I've got some news
Speaker 1 under the ESG model.
Speaker 1 Companies are not only rated using traditional metrics such as revenues and the quality of goods and services offered, but also on a variety of social justice metrics, such as your carbon footprint, the air quality of businesses' supply chain, having the right ratio of Asians to Hispanics working for the company, among other factors.
Speaker 1 Thousands of companies,
Speaker 1
thousands of them. Look up any company.
Just look up their report, any company, and just type in Coca-Cola ESG, Ford ESG, Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz ESG. You'll see they've all adopted it.
Speaker 1 82%
Speaker 1 of all large companies in the United States have done so voluntarily. 82%.
Speaker 1 Now,
Speaker 1 there's a great deal of money to be made. If you play this game.
Speaker 1 How?
Speaker 1 Well, I told you, we're the big bank. We're never going to do this.
Speaker 1 Well, we've been warning you that the government mandates, the new government programs, and ESGs, mainly from these huge corporations, are going to be codified.
Speaker 1 And it's all going to start to come together where A bank can't give your company a loan unless you have a high ESG score.
Speaker 1 If you invest your money in Wall Street and 401k,
Speaker 1 if you invest it in
Speaker 1 a low ESG scored company because you believe in the company, but it's not playing the game, you'll be penalized and you'll find it harder and harder for you to get a loan.
Speaker 1 You won't get a loan and you won't get alone and you and you and you won't get alone.
Speaker 1 Glenn, could you please just get to the new information?
Speaker 1
Yes, I will. It's exciting.
Okay.
Speaker 1 Last month, in a little reported story out of Europe, the European Parliament has voted in favor of a resolution that demands all large companies in the EU, as well as some smaller businesses, put ESG standards into place or face harsh fines for their respective national governments.
Speaker 1 So if you don't have an ESG, this is EU, if you don't have an ESG score that you're living by,
Speaker 1
you better start living by your, I mean, they're already doled out for you, don't worry. You got one.
You're going to get one for your house and you, for your kids and everything.
Speaker 1 It's going to be great. Anyway, this conspiracy theory that is definitely not going to be codified.
Speaker 1 The EU parliament just voted in favor of that demand to make sure that all of the companies are using ESG standards. Well, this is a good thing because it's happening in Europe and not in America.
Speaker 1 The resolution passed by the European Parliament is not yet binding on member states. It's a strong sign, however, that the thumb screws are coming out and everyone will, of course, adopt it.
Speaker 1 In order for the resolution to become binding, the European Commission must formally propose the resolution as legislation and then Parliament and the member states have to vote for the legislation.
Speaker 1 Okay, all right. Now,
Speaker 1 it's going to happen because there is overwhelming support for it in the EU. All right?
Speaker 1 Now, according to the international law firm of Shearman and Sterling, when Shearman talks, Sterling listens. Even though Sterling is like, that Shearman, he's a backstepping bastard.
Speaker 1 I should have had my name first.
Speaker 1 Anyway, they said the proposed due diligence framework targets three categories of potential and or actual adverse impacts, including human rights, the environment, and good governance.
Speaker 1 These categories are deliberately broad, said either Sterling or Shearman, and would in many cases require businesses to make sweeping reforms to align with left-wing social justice goals, imposing them on the societies in which they operate.
Speaker 1 For example, the human rights category means any potential or actual adverse impact that may impair the full enjoyment of human rights by individuals or groups of individuals in relation to human rights, including social, worker, and trade union rights.
Speaker 1 These categories, Shearman or Sterling went on to say, are deliberately broad and they will protect the environment.
Speaker 1 It would involve, according to Shearman and Sterling, the right to safe, clean, healthy, sustainable, biodiverse environment, as defined by the internationally recognized and EU environmental standards.
Speaker 1 Further, the resolution demands, now get this, this is where you come in, further, the resolution demands that businesses
Speaker 1 that business strategies should be aligned with union policy objectives in the field of human rights and the environment, including the European Green Deal and the commitment to to reduce greenhouse emissions by at least 55% by 2030.
Speaker 1 Perhaps most importantly for Americans and U.S. businesses, the Parliament's resolution calls for these ESG requirements to cover all business activities, including its value chain.
Speaker 1 For those of you who don't speak legally as business bullcrap, The value chain is everybody that makes something for that company. That's where you come in.
Speaker 1 The value chain is defined in the resolution as all
Speaker 1 activities, all operations, all business relationships, and all investment chains of an undertaking, which includes all entities with the undertaking.
Speaker 1 It has a direct or indirect business relationship upstream and downstream and either A, supplies products, parts, or products or services that can contribute to the undertaking's own products or services or receive products or services from the undertaking.
Speaker 1 So, in other words, you want to do business with Europe or anybody in the Europeans, the European Union's large businesses, you will have to have an ESG standard of your own,
Speaker 1 which complies with the European Union
Speaker 1 Green New Deal and ESG mandates. And if you don't,
Speaker 1 well, that's okay.
Speaker 1 That's your choice, but you're not going to be able to, mark of the beast, you're not going to be able to do any business or buy anything because you don't have the right ESG standing.
Speaker 1 You know what I'm saying? So come on, let's work together to make things better.
Speaker 1 Business partners, both indirect and upstream and downstream, have a place in human rights, environmental good governance policies that are in line with the company's obligation of due diligence.
Speaker 1 The recommendations contemplate that this may be achieved, for example, by means of framework agreements, contractual clauses, codes of conduct, or certified and independent audits of every business.
Speaker 1 This is going to be great.
Speaker 1
First of all, they said that it wasn't going to happen. Uh-oh, looks like it is.
But now I'm telling you that this is going to be bad. How could this be bad? We're going to have more human rights and
Speaker 1 greener everything,
Speaker 1
And our houses will be much, much better. And our life will be better.
And we won't get to have meat. Oh, did I say that out loud?
Speaker 1 Ooh.
Speaker 1 By the way,
Speaker 1 did you see the, Stu,
Speaker 1 the Global Conference on Climate Change where...
Speaker 1 Where all the leaders got together on one screen? Yes.
Speaker 1 Did you see this? Yeah. Can we pull that screen up? Do we have that screenshot? Yeah, look at it.
Speaker 1 One of these things is not like the others.
Speaker 1 This is all of the world leaders from all over the world all on screen. Can you tell me what one thing sticks out because it's not like the others?
Speaker 2 Joe Biden is the only dolt wearing a mask.
Speaker 1 Bingo.
Speaker 1 He's the only one
Speaker 1 all by himself wearing a mask. Every other world leader in Putin's in the center like, yeah, and the dope wearing the mask, you got something to say.
Speaker 2 Not only is it a virtual conference where
Speaker 2
you cannot pass the coronavirus through Zoom, but you've never heard of a computer virus. That's true.
That's a good point. Thank you.
And maybe that's what he was thinking.
Speaker 2 The problem, of course, even with that theory, is that he's fully vaccinated. So, I mean, it's so beyond insane that he would need to do this, yet he's doing it for other reasons.
Speaker 2 He's doing it for show, I suppose.
Speaker 1 What other for show?
Speaker 1 No.
Speaker 1 Hey, do we have the CNN? Do we have the CNN interview with Kamala Harris? At least a screenshot of that? Or do we have? Yeah, look at.
Speaker 1
Look at how far apart they are. A one-on-one with Kamala Harris.
They are, what, 20 feet apart? 15 feet apart? That's insane.
Speaker 1 It's like, you know, it's like I want to do an interview at a big banquet table where I ask the question and then we have a little guy who is serving food run down to the other end of the table and say, he'd like the salt and could you answer this question?
Speaker 1 And then he's running the salt back
Speaker 1
after he, she says the answer. And then I could, I, then the little guy in the white jacket, he'll tell me the answer.
It'll be great that way. And it'll be be so safe.
Speaker 1 Oh my gosh, I was just infected by the guy in the little white jacket.
Speaker 1 The best of the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 1 I want to talk to you a little bit about something else the government is doing. Not only are we decimating
Speaker 1 our towns and our police force, I urge you to support the police. I urge you to stop this insanity insanity against our police, or we will end up with a federal police force.
Speaker 1 I mean, what else are you going to do? You can't hire somebody.
Speaker 1 The federal government could say, well, we are the trusted source you go to.
Speaker 1 That's what Marxists always do.
Speaker 1 Don't think that's not in the plan. Now,
Speaker 1 They're also decimating our economy, and I mean
Speaker 1
decimating it. Consumer prices are going up.
We told you last week, Coca-Cola, Procter, and Gamble, they
Speaker 1 raising prices this week on a ton of things. They say it's because of raw materials, you know, ranging from lumber to resin,
Speaker 1 and they need to take the steps to protect their profits.
Speaker 1 The price is surging for paper towels, jars of peanut butter. Consumer packaged goods rose 9.4%.
Speaker 1 9.4%
Speaker 1 now they have
Speaker 1 they have pulled back on some of the manufacturing
Speaker 1 sorry some of the commercials and the advertising in markets because they don't have enough product
Speaker 1 and inflation is coming it's already here according to the Institute of for study management the latest survey showed net 40% of manufacturers are reporting that their customer inventories are too low.
Speaker 1 What does that mean?
Speaker 1 Have you waited for anything that you've never had to wait for before?
Speaker 1
I can't believe how tolerant America is being right now. I think it must be because you think it's COVID related, but it's not.
It's partially COVID-related. But how many things have you waited for?
Speaker 1 How many things that you've ordered or you've gone into stores and always had access to? All of a sudden, you're like, where is that?
Speaker 1 Oh, it's on back order. It's on what?
Speaker 1 When Americans figure out that this is your life and the life that
Speaker 1 the world has planned for you,
Speaker 1
you're not going to like it. But by that time, it will be too late to do anything about it.
So, why are the inventories too low? Well,
Speaker 1 let's just go through this.
Speaker 1 Farmers need labor to pick the produce. Factories that make consumer packaged goods, meat packing plants, process beef, pork, chicken,
Speaker 1 they need people in
Speaker 1
doing their job. Ports are congested.
Truck drivers are
Speaker 1 in short supply. Food workers are supposed to socially distance each other, even though
Speaker 1
they were the first in line, along with the critical workers in the hospital, to get the vaccines. Many of these plants still remain shuttered.
And the problem is, they
Speaker 1 can't hire people.
Speaker 1 Nobody is going back to work
Speaker 1 because of a disastrous welfare program.
Speaker 1 The
Speaker 1 outrageous unemployment benefits
Speaker 1 and the $1.9 trillion-plus plus coronavirus legislation is creating now an incentive for people not to work.
Speaker 1 We just, I can't, I'm just, please make the renovation of the house just stop. We started at the dumbest time ever.
Speaker 1 And now we're sitting here and I was talking to the contractor and I'm like, can we just get more people? Make this stop, please.
Speaker 1
And he's like, Glenn, we can't get people to drive trucks and pick up loads of stuff. He's like, I have a friend who drives some sort of a hauler.
All you have to do, it's 20 bucks an hour.
Speaker 1
All you have to do is drive the truck. It's flatbed.
And you go someplace, they put a bunch of wood or whatever on it. You drive it to wherever you're supposed to drive it.
Speaker 1 You push a button and drive slowly, and the flatbed slowly lifts up, and all that stuff, you know, falls off the back of the truck. You know, like any good mob story.
Speaker 1 He said, we can't get people to do $20.
Speaker 1 We can't get them to take the job. Why?
Speaker 1
Because they're sitting at home. It pays more to be on unemployment than it does.
What's happening now in McDonald's? McDonald's in Florida is now paying people $50
Speaker 1 just to show up for an interview.
Speaker 1 They still can't get people to come for just the interview.
Speaker 1 I don't know.
Speaker 1 Seems like a problem, America. 40% of small businesses are struggling to fill open positions.
Speaker 1 Even after offering wage increases, people are not going back to work.
Speaker 1 You can earn, they say, 70, 80, or 90% of what they were making
Speaker 1 without having to do any work. A week on unemployment in Massachusetts under the current system,
Speaker 1 you can earn $1,100.
Speaker 1 one if you were working one would make around $600 if you're working a 15
Speaker 1 hour a $15 an hour a week job you're making 600 bucks they're paying you almost double to stay home it's irresponsible to go to work
Speaker 1 it is
Speaker 1 it is
Speaker 1 just like they dismantled the black family black family in the 60s had better stats than white families
Speaker 1 I mean, they stayed married, the kids at home, kids out of born out of wedlock, all of it, all of it, tremendous.
Speaker 1 Then it became irresponsible to claim that you're a dad and to stay at home, break up the family, and the family can get more aid. Now look what we have.
Speaker 1
Now, there's something else that's going on. The housing market has gone through the roof.
By the way, I would like to know why there's a problem with concrete in this country.
Speaker 1
I mean, I know we're running out of sand. Don't laugh at that.
That's actually happening. But that's not the reason for this.
Why is concrete so difficult to get?
Speaker 1 Is that a labor shortage as well? You can't get people to
Speaker 1 roll in with the trucks.
Speaker 1 I have a friend trying to buy some concrete up north, and
Speaker 1 he said, I have to call the concrete place. He said, I swear it's run by the mob.
Speaker 1 I have to call the concrete place between 7 and 7.15 and say, can I get on your roll for a concrete delivery today?
Speaker 1 If you miss it at 7.15, good luck. Try again tomorrow, huh?
Speaker 1 What kind of business is that?
Speaker 1 The median house sale, the price, increased 18%
Speaker 1 year over year.
Speaker 1 45% of the homes selling today are getting more than their list price, an all-time high.
Speaker 1 The average sale-to-list price ratio, which measures how close homes are selling to their asking price, increased 2.5 percentage points. It's an all-time high of 101%.
Speaker 1 That means the average home gets $1 more for every $100 they're asking. 58% of the homes that went under contract had an accepted offer within the first two weeks.
Speaker 1
46% of the homes that went under contract had an accepted offer within one week of hitting the market. Meanwhile, here's the problem.
The supply is at record lows.
Speaker 1 The demand is high,
Speaker 1 quoting the report,
Speaker 1 because of
Speaker 1 fiscal stimulus and an exodus from rental units and a near record low mortgage rate.
Speaker 1 So everything the government is currently doing is driving the price of the house through the roof towards all-time highs.
Speaker 1 Now, why is there a shortage?
Speaker 1 Well,
Speaker 1 the houses going up for sale are down 10%
Speaker 1 from the same period.
Speaker 1 Wait.
Speaker 1 The houses being marketed. Yeah, you know why? Stu, would you sell your house today?
Speaker 1 Would I? To answer that without the ice, Dan.
Speaker 1 Yeah. Would you sell your house today here in Texas?
Speaker 2 Seems like it's a good time to sell your house, though the problem with that is, of course, you have to buy one too.
Speaker 1 Buy one.
Speaker 1 That's the problem.
Speaker 1 People are coming in and they're saying, hey, will you sell your house?
Speaker 1 I guess when it first happened, smart people would go, yes. But now everybody's going, but where would I buy a house?
Speaker 1 Because anything I buy is going to be inflated in price, and I'm going to have 20 people ahead of me that I have to outbid.
Speaker 2 Yeah. A real world example of this, Glenn, is when we lived up in the Northeast before we came to Texas,
Speaker 2 we lived outside of Philadelphia initially. And I bought a house, what was it, 2003 or 4, whenever that was.
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 2 then we moved to New York to do this show on CNN headline news and everything. So I moved to another place actually in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2
But when I did that, I went from 2004 to 2006 or seven, whatever it was. It was a very short period of time.
And I made a ridiculous profit off of this house.
Speaker 2 You know, I always put that in air quotes because of all the actual expenditures that go along with a house.
Speaker 2 But percentage-wise, from what I bought it to what I sold it for, we were up, I don't know, 30 or 40% in like two years, which is
Speaker 2 crazy for real estate. Incredible, yeah.
Speaker 1 And then I went and bought a bigger house at the same peak of the market and then when i had to sell that i got killed because that's what happens in these bubbles and when you want to sell your house right you sell your house i really want to know i'd love to talk to somebody who knows about this maybe we get uh shiller on from price uh from uh what is that uh case shiller index index yeah case shiller we've talked we've had shiller on before i think or was it case one of those two clowns uh and uh they're they're not really.
Speaker 1
What I'd like to know. No, they're really not.
What I'd like to know, though, is if you're building a house,
Speaker 1 your house, how do you get a loan to build a house today when A, you know, it's going to be 30% higher just in building materials? So it's not even just the land, it's the lumber.
Speaker 1 Lumber is up, what, 80% now?
Speaker 1 80% more for lumber.
Speaker 1 So if you're paying 80% more let's say your house is you know a $300,000 house
Speaker 1 it'd probably cost you $350 $375 if you're building it today because of the increased costs of everything if you could even build it
Speaker 1 once the market corrects on lumber and everything else you're not gonna your house isn't gonna be worth that so how do you get a loan
Speaker 1 i mean how do you get a loan to buy that house you don't how do you keep your loan? If you're upside down, Stu, isn't there some trigger when you're really upside down in a house that
Speaker 1 you have to come up with more equity in it? Is that right?
Speaker 1 If your house collapses
Speaker 1 in price,
Speaker 1 do you have to come up with more equity? Do you know?
Speaker 2 I'm sure there's some scenarios where that could happen. I'm not sure off the top of my head what you're referring to, though.
Speaker 1 The case Schiller index was something we looked at a lot before the crash of 08 because it tells you what houses should be selling for.
Speaker 2 Yeah, you used to always, it's kind of one of the main things like
Speaker 2
starting your analysis that there was going to be a crash coming. It was part of it, at least.
And you talked about it in 2005, 2006, 2007.
Speaker 2 And so, if you go back to 2000, it starts, the index starts at 100. And it rose all the way up in 2006 to, I mean,
Speaker 2 all the way up to to 206.
Speaker 2 206.
Speaker 1
I remember it was in the 200s. Yeah.
And
Speaker 1
that means the house is double what it should be. People are paying double what they should be paying.
Right.
Speaker 2
Then we had the crash, right? The correction. So it drops all the way down in 2008, and everyone forgets about housing prices.
And then it slowly starts climbing back up, and then it hits 206 again.
Speaker 2 But that happens in January of 2018.
Speaker 1 Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 Since then, it has climbed and climbed and climbed and climbed, and it got all the way up in June 2020 to 223, which again is 17 points higher than it was at the peak of 2008.
Speaker 1 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That was it last year?
Speaker 2 Yeah, that was in the middle of COVID.
Speaker 2 Since then,
Speaker 2 it has skyrocketed again from 223 in June of 2020 all the way up to 245
Speaker 2 today.
Speaker 2 So we've gone from 206 was the scary bubble time in 2008. We're now at 245.
Speaker 1 You can sell your house, just don't buy a new one.
Speaker 1 But you might want to sell your house. Wow.
Speaker 1 This is the best of the Glen Beck program.
Speaker 1 So I get so many calls from people, so many emails saying, you know, I would leave my job, I guess.
Speaker 1 Oh, I'd speak up, but I'm going to get fired and I don't know I can get another job. What will happen to me?
Speaker 1
There are blacklists that are happening now, unfortunately, in several parts of the country. And our freedom of speech is being squashed.
I want to bring in Daniel Sur.
Speaker 1 He's a senior attorney at Liberty Justice Center. And Daniel, we've we've been talking back and forth for a while now to try to figure out how we can help people who are in this situation.
Speaker 1
And the best way to help them is to make sure that it never happens again. And so we need to find some good cases.
Do I have this right? Amen, Glenn. You got it exactly right.
Speaker 1 Right now, you and I both know, your listeners know, conservatives in this country, we are under attack.
Speaker 3 The reality is that the left and their social justice warriors have weaponized the wokeism, this ideology that's taken over, and they are taking down anyone who dares to speak up on behalf of conservative viewpoints.
Speaker 3
They are on a search and destroy mission, Glenn. I think you said it best about your listeners and other folks who share these views.
They want to censor them.
Speaker 3 They want to take them down on social media. They take them down at school, in government, and even in the workplace.
Speaker 3 And so we think the answer to social justice warriors is what we're calling at Liberty Justice Center, 1A warriors, people who will stand up and fight back on behalf of the First Amendment.
Speaker 1 This is going to take
Speaker 1 a lot of guts
Speaker 1 because people know, you know,
Speaker 1 it's one thing when they try to curb your freedom of speech and say, you can't say these things. But it's gone beyond that.
Speaker 1 It's now you must participate in these things and if you disagree it doesn't matter so i mean you are you're going to be a pariah and you'll possibly lose your job or you know lose your your standing in school uh and uh i mean i don't know how many people are really willing to do that uh without the hope of of it saving somebody else, even if it doesn't save them.
Speaker 3 Well, Glenn, this is why we've got to approach approach this as a team.
Speaker 3 One of the things we know about the left is that they are clearly coordinated in their effort to take down not just conservative ideas, but conservative Americans.
Speaker 3 Like, look at what happens on social media when they just swarm somebody they disagree with and they demand that they get canceled, fired, expelled.
Speaker 3
They operate. on a coordinated team basis.
And the best way to fight back is also to be a team. And that's why Liberty Justice Center, like, we want to be your lawyers.
Speaker 3 And you, Glenn, like, you've got the microphone to share this message. And people who go through these experiences, they don't have to do it alone.
Speaker 3 It's hard enough to stand up. It's even harder when the left comes down on you and you feel isolated and alone.
Speaker 3 And that's why we need 1A warriors, your listeners, to stand up and join with us so that when it happens to any one of us, all of us are ready as a team together to fight back.
Speaker 1 Okay, so we have two fronts we're fighting.
Speaker 1 If you are
Speaker 1 a case that fits the parameters,
Speaker 1 which are what?
Speaker 1 People who are terminated for political reasons, right?
Speaker 1 Absolutely. It's people who are turning at their job.
Speaker 3 It's students who are being forced through this critical theory stuff that's infecting our curriculum.
Speaker 3 I mean, there was a young man the other day who got an F in a required class and they were going to fail him from high school because he wouldn't repeat the
Speaker 3
government imposed ideology about critical race theory. It's people who are on social media who are being de-platformed or are losing their business or unable to advertise their product.
I mean the
Speaker 3 Censorship is happening across our society.
Speaker 3 And so the fight back and the lawsuits back will equally happen in every sector of our society because the First Amendment isn't bounded by particular lines.
Speaker 3 It protects all of us when the government goes after us.
Speaker 1
Okay. So they call you and then you listen and see if there's a case there.
And if there's a case, you guys will work with them on that case and it's free of charge?
Speaker 1 That's right, Glenn.
Speaker 3 We do what we do because we believe in it and we have generous donors who want to be on this team together with us. So, folks, can go to libertyjusticenter.org backslash 1A Warrior.
Speaker 3
If you think you're a victim of cancel culture, we want to hear your story. We want to be on your team.
So, go to libertyjusticecenter.org backslash 1A Warrior.
Speaker 3 But if you haven't been a victim yet, but you're afraid of it and you should be, we equally need you to go to that website, sign up, learn about cancel culture, learn about the rights that you have, so that when it's you or one of your friends or somebody you know from your community who becomes a victim of the cancel culture, you are ready for it.
Speaker 3 And then we can fight back effectively and together.
Speaker 1
My wife and I would like to make a donation today and start things off. So we will be donating today.
And I would ask that every single one of our listeners do the same.
Speaker 1 If it's not happened to you yet, it will
Speaker 1 unless we stop it in the court system. It's got to stop through the court system.
Speaker 1 This is, you know, really the last line of defense here. When common sense fails, it's got to go to the court system.
Speaker 1 And if you are represented by the right attorneys and we find the right cases, it can go to the Supreme Court and we can win, and it will stop it everywhere.
Speaker 3 That's absolutely right, Glenn. We are looking to set precedent that in each of these individual cases, the best thing we can do to protect everybody is to win a few big court cases.
Speaker 3
And let's be honest, we got a great Supreme Court right now. We have justices who understand the importance of the First Amendment.
The founders gave us the Constitution to last for centuries, right?
Speaker 3 And the First Amendment is there for all the different challenges our society goes through. And the challenge we're in right now is this censorship and cancel culture.
Speaker 3 And the answer today is the same answer as any other point in our society. The First Amendment protects you.
Speaker 3 And the Supreme Court and judges are going to stand up for that as long as they have the opportunity, the cases, to rule on and set that precedent.
Speaker 3 That's why it's so important, if you feel like you've been a victim of cancel culture, contact us at Liberty Justice Center, let us represent you for free, and let's get some cases going where the judges and equally our friends in the media and people like you, Glenn, can start to cover a shift back towards freedom.
Speaker 3 And employers and universities, they'll pick up on it and they'll change their behavior.
Speaker 1 Tell me what
Speaker 1 is required,
Speaker 1 you know, when you say you've been fired for political reasons, how clear does it have to be? I mean, I would imagine it has to be really quite clear.
Speaker 1 So tell me some of the things that you've been seeing that would qualify.
Speaker 1 Yeah, absolutely, Glenn.
Speaker 1 Every one of these cases, it's going to be a little bit unique.
Speaker 3 The facts are important anytime you're in a court of law. And so
Speaker 3 I want to be upfront that when people contact us, we want to work with you to see if you have a case that can win.
Speaker 3 We want to only bring cases that are going to win and help other people by setting good precedent.
Speaker 3 But one of the things we know is that this is happening a whole bunch of different times, places, and ways. And so sometimes it might be that you're forced to say something you don't believe, right?
Speaker 3 You're asked in a class at school or you're asked in your employment setting to talk about your own racial identity and to repeat things that they are imposing on you that you don't believe, that is compelled speech and the freedom of speech protects you from that.
Speaker 3 We know that they're going after organizations and donors.
Speaker 3 The Supreme Court has a hugely important case right now today where they are trying to protect private nonprofit organizations from being exposed to government bureaucrats with lists of who supported them financially.
Speaker 3 And so this is happening in a variety of contexts. Every case will be a little bit different, but the First Amendment is going to protect people in all these different settings.
Speaker 3 And the only way we can figure out if your case is a good fit case, if, again, you go to libertyjusticecenter.org backslash 1A Warrior and tell us about it and get on the team and together we can fight back.
Speaker 1
Thank you so much. I appreciate it, Daniel.
We'll talk again. I'd love to hear some of the cases that are coming in and what you hear from audience members.
Speaker 1 We'll check check in maybe later this week or early next week.

Speaker 1 They really believe, and so do I, that they can make a big impact.
Speaker 1 They've already gotten people's jobs, you know, people reinstated from when they were, you know, a principal that, you know, was speaking his mind and how dare you do that. And you're out.
Speaker 1
He's back in. They've got several cases that they have won, but this is going to be a team effort.
We have to begin to fight these things as the left fought for so many years.
Speaker 1 We've got to do this now and fight for freedom so our children can be free. It's libertyjusticcenter.org/slash 1A Warrior.
