Transcript
00:00:00.440
Wow. I would say there was some big news today coming out.
00:00:04.960
Yeah. It was a big show. Yeah. A lot of good stuff.
00:00:17.160
The junior thing does not work as you get older.
00:00:27.000
I mean, I think there's an argument that he's trying to clear the field, does not want a Gavin Newsom or somebody else to announce their run.
00:00:34.080
He wants to say, nope, this is me. I want this job. Everyone's saying I might not run. I'm running.
00:00:44.740
But what do you think of the idea that possibly, you know, they always do what they claim the other side is doing.
00:00:52.400
So what about, you know, kind of just an advanced volley of you're only you're only having these hearings because I'm, you know, running for president in 2024.
00:01:08.400
What about the possibility that he filled it out, but has absolutely no recollection of filling it out?
00:01:18.900
Yes, it does seem like he maybe filled it out in reverse order with Harris being the president.
00:01:27.640
He's like, I'm typing my name, President Harris and Biden Vice President.
00:01:34.920
All this and so much more on today's podcast brought to you in part by Goldline.
00:01:42.680
Tons of Americans still don't know that it is possible to use your retirement account to acquire precious metals.
00:01:49.060
You'll be saving up for retirement and building a protective wall against inflation and other forms of economic insanity.
00:02:01.140
You know, if you've been listening to me for a long time and you've noticed a trend that sometimes I call the direction correctly,
00:02:12.260
you might want to think about that when I say, you know, economic collapse.
00:02:28.960
Hey, make sure you tell them that you were listening to my podcast.
00:02:36.080
They'll give you the Mind Your Business silver bars just as a thank you for calling in.
00:02:40.480
So visit the website, goldline.com or call 866-GOLDLINE.
00:02:52.160
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:00.020
So we're talking about semi-fascists, which I don't even know what a semi-fascist is.
00:03:06.920
Is that somebody who's like, I like public partner, public-private partnerships, but I just don't want it with the, you know, the public public.
00:03:19.620
I think basically the semi is to act as if he didn't mean full fascist, which is what he actually meant.
00:03:27.180
It's Joe Biden saying Republicans are fascists.
00:03:30.940
Because I guess they disagreed with him, which is interesting.
00:03:34.220
And I'm a little, a little confused because every time we get into a policy argument with people on the left, they don't call us fascists.
00:03:46.100
They call us Wild West libertarians that want no restrictions on anything.
00:03:57.540
It's just everybody that we want these big companies to be able to take advantage, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:04:02.960
So when we're talking about healthcare, we're like, oh, well, people should be able to go in the free market and choose whichever healthcare they want.
00:04:11.420
So when you're talking about your philosophy, Glenn Beck.
00:04:18.860
What's your idea of the, what's your conservative utopia?
00:04:33.680
A government that doesn't do very many things as you describe in those documents.
00:04:38.380
It's what our country is supposed to be according to the rules.
00:04:44.880
And maybe you'd summarize that as an experiment in self-governance.
00:04:49.020
I would, I would, yeah, I would say, hey, is there a chance that maybe people can govern themselves without an oppressive government?
00:05:00.620
This is the textbook definition, political ideologies, their origins and impact.
00:05:27.840
He believed that the government and ultimately the government's leader should completely control every aspect of human existence.
00:05:36.460
Consequently, like Stalin, Hitler, and Mao, which is weird that they pair those together, communists and fascists.
00:05:43.900
Consequently, like Stalin, Hitler, and Mao, he tried to build up the state's power, build up the state's power, extending it into the most private aspects of the citizens' lives.
00:05:55.820
More from political ideologies, their origins and impacts.
00:06:00.480
Quote, the state controlled and regulated almost every conceivable social, economic, and political activity of its citizens.
00:06:08.280
Through this mechanism, almost every aspect of daily existence was controlled.
00:06:17.740
Are we the ones that are arguing for wage controls?
00:06:22.700
Are we the ones constantly selling every business what they must do with fringe benefits?
00:06:30.320
Are we the ones constantly monitoring everything a little bit?
00:06:32.640
Are we the ones saying you have to change all of your insulation?
00:06:35.380
We have to redo every single building in America?
00:06:44.120
Are we the people saying that we need to kick everybody off of every platform every time they make a joke?
00:06:53.280
Are we the ones saying that you need to teach everybody about critical race theory and all these things that are not related to actual education?
00:07:01.980
They were all part of this elaborate organization.
00:07:04.520
Now, since we mentioned critical race theory, let's think about that for a moment.
00:07:12.840
What about the idea that men are men and women are women?
00:07:16.580
A basic thing that we've all understood for thousands of years.
00:07:23.960
It's interesting that you mention that because fascists had a particular approach to this exact type of thing.
00:07:31.220
Something that we all understood as real hardcore science, they tended to take a different approach.
00:07:40.960
You tell me which side this sounds like these days.
00:07:48.100
Objective truth is either a hoax or unimportant because the really important truths defy rational understanding.
00:07:56.160
Those who believe in reason, therefore, are deluding themselves and grasping at a false reality.
00:08:23.980
Now, it's interesting because you're assigning a negative characteristic to a race.
00:08:31.120
But every white person is automatically a racist and has no way to get out of that.
00:08:35.700
They're always a racist, always will be a racist.
00:08:50.960
The Constitution, not a document set up a long time ago to give foundational truths,
00:09:05.980
The president, looking at that Constitution, has found a way to spend a trillion dollars
00:09:18.360
This is, again, from political ideologies, their origins and impacts.
00:09:21.760
Mussolini begged his audiences to have faith in the Italian myths.
00:09:40.520
Though it could not be scientifically or objectively proved, it was true simply because it existed
00:09:51.220
It's like the democratic platform I'm reading from.
00:10:01.720
Available only, Glenn, to a few gifted people whose will or spirit or personality is greater
00:10:15.080
This is quotes from the book describing his philosophy, this particular one.
00:10:18.540
Those with superior will perceive a higher truth than others.
00:10:24.480
You might think men and men are women and women, but those with a superior will and understanding
00:10:35.300
It's their instincts that bring the truth, not what actually is true.
00:10:39.580
They instinctively realize the right, and those who are not so gifted, that's you, everybody,
00:10:46.100
should listen to them, having faith in their leaders, intuitions, and following their orders.
00:10:53.180
So I think you've made some, you know, point somewhere.
00:11:18.500
Do you remember when he, through just an executive order, nullified a trillion dollars in contracted
00:11:34.240
Well, you remember when he added all those IRS agents?
00:11:37.100
You know, at a time when we were really separated, he was like, we're going to be looking into
00:11:43.800
everybody because we got, you know, we got like 90,000 IRS agents.
00:11:55.860
How about when he was investigating using the IRS and investigating his political foes?
00:12:10.900
How about when he used the power of the executive office and was listening in to phone calls
00:12:20.820
You remember how much he hated those reporters when he did that?
00:12:24.060
I do remember him hating reporters, but I don't remember that.
00:12:27.900
But we do remember, you know, him using the national security apparatus, you know, of
00:12:33.140
the government to enhance his own election in 2020.
00:12:36.860
We remember when he was promising the Russians because he was colluding with the Russians.
00:12:41.880
We remember when he leaned over to Medvedev and said, hey, just I need a little room,
00:12:59.820
How about using when he used the Republican National Committee firewalls to transfer money
00:13:04.840
to private lobbyists and law firms to find dirt on, you know, on Hillary Clinton and
00:13:12.060
then turn it all over to the FBI, which he's in bed with, to launch a, let's call it a
00:13:26.060
And he was, and it was all centered around an ex-spy that the FBI paid, even though they
00:13:31.780
said they weren't working with him anymore because he wasn't credible.
00:13:35.240
And then, and then Donald Trump in his FBI, he had those agents talking about how they
00:13:41.180
have to stop Joe Biden from winning the election.
00:13:45.520
And then when they burst into the homes of the New York Times reporters and then marched
00:13:51.020
them outside in their underwear for the possible crime of, you know, stealing the draft of the
00:14:01.540
Or was it a, no, I seem to remember it was a diary of some, but I think it was, I think
00:14:09.040
it was the Trump daughter that you'd never hear from.
00:14:15.520
And then the FBI came breaking in or, or the investigation in the suspected illegal lobbying
00:14:22.680
of Joe and Hunter Biden, uh, I remember, remember when he was doing that.
00:14:29.500
And then the department of justice is like, Hey, we're going to keep this on the down low.
00:14:37.440
How about the, how about when the attorney general refused to congressional subpoena or just
00:14:43.600
refuse to honor subpoenas and withhold the requested documents from Congress?
00:14:50.260
Or when they, when, when Donald Trump raided Hillary Clinton's house, do you remember that
00:14:58.880
One of these people is more of a fascist than the others trying to figure out which one it
00:15:12.560
Now, it is so clear to see how is it people aren't seeing it.
00:15:19.300
I never truly understood those with eyes will see those with ears will hear.
00:15:27.760
I thought, well, how are you going to be able to see it in black and white?
00:15:55.160
Are there Democrats that actually do see this stuff?
00:16:02.280
So I want you to write this down because you're going to have a hard time finding it.
00:16:11.680
If you're Googling, it took me a while to find it is acts five 29.com acts five 29.com.
00:16:25.040
This is a, it's called the acts five 29 statement.
00:16:30.560
And it is vitally important that your church, your pastor, your rabbi sign this document.
00:16:44.240
The acts five 29 statement, the first amendment to the United States constitution states, Congress
00:16:50.000
shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free speech
00:16:55.340
or free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right
00:17:01.400
of the people to peacefully assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
00:17:06.840
During the COVID-19 pandemic representatives who were elected to secure our God-given rights,
00:17:13.900
clearly transgressed their lawful authority in executive action that prohibited public meetings
00:17:21.320
or mandated the wearing of masks and social distancing.
00:17:26.860
God's word directs us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together.
00:17:37.420
We must obey God rather than the arbitrary decrees of men.
00:17:42.000
As a national coalition of pastors and churches, we reject any presidential or gubernatorial decree
00:17:49.580
requiring us to dis, uh, to disobey the word of God.
00:17:54.680
We will resist any attempt by a federal state or local official to restrict or prohibit the
00:18:02.040
free exercise of our religion or place restrictions thereon.
00:18:07.300
The end of all the civil government being, uh, the end of all civil government being the good
00:18:14.460
of society, we affirm our submission to lawful civil authority as instituted by God himself.
00:18:22.240
But when rulers exceed the scope of their constitutional and God-given authority, they act contrary to
00:18:30.220
their office and the public good and affect the ruin and misery of society.
00:18:35.780
We, uh, we do not need the permission of civil authorities to obey what God has commanded,
00:18:42.560
nor does the church need the approval of civil authorities to serve and worship our God in
00:18:51.960
The Greek word translated church is ecclesia, which means the assembly.
00:18:58.640
Our identity as the church of Jesus Christ means that we are by nature and assembly.
00:19:05.340
We assemble to hear the word preached, partake of the sacraments and fellowship with one another.
00:19:12.900
The apostles teachings are unambiguous in this regard.
00:19:17.500
Civil magistrates have no authority to dictate what churches may or may not do.
00:19:22.680
The constitution of the United States is the highest law in our land.
00:19:27.240
In 1803, in Marbury versus Madison, the Supreme court ruled any law repugnant to the constitution
00:19:39.300
We are on solid constitutional footing in our refusal to comply with restrictions on public worship.
00:19:45.860
Again, the first amendment states Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion
00:19:57.380
Any law order or mandate that infringes our God-given right to worship according to conscience
00:20:08.160
We, the undersign hereby affirm the preceding statements.
00:20:14.980
If you're a pastor, priest, rabbi, you can also sign this.
00:20:19.780
And if you're just a congregant, you should send it to your pastor, your priest, or your rabbi.
00:20:31.860
It is time that we do things the right way and peacefully draw the line in the sand.
00:20:42.740
You can arrest us if you want, but I know who I serve.
00:20:49.440
I will not violate the conditions of my first citizenship to meet the demands of my second citizenship.
00:21:01.860
I am first a member of a kingdom, a kingdom of God, and he is my only king.
00:21:14.020
I have agreed to live under the laws of the Constitution and to protect and support that Constitution.
00:21:22.460
That's what I have to do to really secure my citizenship in the United States of America.
00:21:31.640
Support the Constitution and defend it if called upon.
00:21:35.480
But when you go extra-constitutional, when you're asking me to do things that you constitutionally don't even have the authority,
00:21:46.500
but instead the Constitution bars you from doing that specific thing,
00:21:55.720
You can't ask me to, because you're in violation.
00:22:02.720
You're in violation of your second citizenship.
00:22:08.440
And it is all of our responsibility to stand up.
00:22:12.320
This is the first thing that I have seen on COVID that is an act that all of us can take.
00:22:19.560
And it is drawing a line in the sand at our churches.
00:22:27.400
You will not tell us what we can and cannot do in our churches.
00:22:35.940
This is also about what I can read, what my church can say from the pulpit.
00:22:42.080
Because if you think they're going to stay out of the church, the church, what they are building right now,
00:22:59.140
It looks a lot like fascism, but fascism always has some sort of religion attached to it.
00:23:07.300
It's something that you are to believe, that can't be proved, that you are to believe.
00:23:21.820
When do we reevaluate if that's working or not?
00:23:24.600
You're asked to just sit down, shut up, and believe.
00:23:30.000
And if you have any questions, that's the dark side that is giving you those questions.
00:23:44.700
I mean, when I say old, I mean dark ages-style church.
00:24:10.220
January 1st, 2023, they are going to be emailing all of the officials' local, state, and federal jurisdictions to inform them that these churches are standing.
00:24:40.740
I wonder if that helps your name on the Book of Life.
00:24:44.220
Because in my book, that's the only one that matters.
00:24:47.260
It's time for our pastors to find their strength and to find their purpose.
00:24:56.300
You know, we're all being tested, and I've always looked at this as a good thing.
00:25:01.180
We're being tested right now on, can you actually do what you were sent here to do?
00:25:07.960
Can you actually be the person that you were born to be?
00:25:39.420
By the time they get to me, it'll be a long time down the road.
00:25:55.300
And all that requires is us not to go over the cliff with the rest of society.
00:26:01.740
And that just means you have to stand up and draw a line in the sand and say, you know, I'm not going there.
00:26:21.420
Over the weekend, there was a family friendly trans show.
00:26:49.540
OK, I don't know exactly what you're teaching your kids.
00:27:00.840
You know, Biden is going to give this big gun speech this week.
00:27:04.340
He's bound and determined to take AR-15s off of the off the market.
00:27:15.380
Not in my town because my town gets the Constitution.
00:27:23.440
I'd have to call you somebody like a dictator, because that's what dictators would do.
00:27:44.640
By the way, the Second Amendment no longer applies.
00:27:53.440
We had people that were Antifa dressed all in black with the black masks and everything else that were actually using ARs from the roof of a garage.
00:28:08.180
They were taking sniper positions in this little town over the weekend.
00:28:19.680
If you're thinking, I don't I don't want to be one of those people.
00:28:27.180
The Satanic Temple is scheduled to host an event in September at a Pennsylvania high school auditorium.
00:28:35.880
According to the TST's flyer, that's the Satanic Temple's flyer.
00:28:40.860
The back to school fundraiser is a family friendly night filled with arts and crafts, science experiments, live demos, refreshments and fun for all ages.
00:28:52.600
Northern New York County School District previously voted eight to one to reject a residence request to form the TST sponsored after school Satan's Club.
00:29:02.880
But they had to let them have a little party, you know, there to have a fundraiser.
00:29:19.240
If you don't think that we are fighting evil, unlike anything you've ever seen before in your life, then you you don't get you don't get it.
00:30:24.980
And so I will stand against all of these incursion into my life because I have certain rights.
00:30:44.420
The Constitution is to guarantee the government won't do anything about it.
00:30:51.540
They will continue to take and take and take until we all put our differences aside and march together.
00:31:15.560
But that's not going to work unless we all stand together.
00:31:28.700
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:31:45.560
There's some really disturbing things coming out.
00:31:50.440
The pandemic eviction moratoriums are expiring now.
00:31:55.220
Rent payment relief programs end all across the country.
00:32:00.000
And about 8.5 million people are behind on rent as the end of August.
00:32:09.520
Let's say they're somewhat or very likely to be evicted over the next two months.
00:32:13.740
Where are these 3.8 million people going to go?
00:32:19.240
They're now topping $2,000 a month for the first time on record.
00:32:37.240
In Tampa, Florida, evictions were 52% above average in August.
00:32:54.220
I mean, they're burning them down as fast as they can build them, I'm sure.
00:32:57.480
Also, the average payment for a new vehicle is now $667 a month.
00:33:20.340
The average used vehicle loan jumped 18.7% to $28,534 with an average monthly payment of $515.
00:33:42.760
I don't know how we're going to keep doing this.
00:33:45.480
And listen, there's something that is very, very disturbing.
00:33:57.480
The FDA, now in the $750 billion inflation reduction bill,
00:34:07.480
they provided money for the USDA to give loans, I'm sorry, give grants to minorities.
00:34:18.860
Because equity is our biggest problem right now.
00:34:22.680
No, no, I don't think that's our biggest problem.
00:34:30.140
Foreclosure on farms, that's probably a big problem.
00:34:36.880
But I don't think diverse workforce on farming is right there at the top of the list
00:34:44.020
that should get the attention of the United States government.
00:34:47.440
By the way, the EU has just unveiled emergency measures to curb soaring energy prices.
00:34:57.900
They're working on emergency intervention right now.
00:35:01.500
By the way, do we have the cut of the Germans and the faces they were making with Donald Trump at the UN?
00:35:14.720
Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course.
00:35:32.340
That was showing you how silly the claim was from Donald Trump.
00:35:35.700
That was a liberal website, we should point out, that made that video.
00:35:38.880
And they put the silly music behind it to mock Donald Trump.
00:35:46.560
If they don't change course now, that was two years ago, three years ago.
00:35:50.520
If they don't change course now, they're going to have serious energy problems and be beholden to Russia.
00:36:00.140
Our friend Carol Roth, who comes on the show a lot to talk about the economy, had just tweeted this story.
00:36:06.620
This is, uh, uh, my mum, you can see all of where this comes from, my mum owns a small cafe.
00:36:13.080
Her electricity bill has just jumped from $12,000 a year, so a thousand bucks a month, to $64,000 a year.
00:36:21.720
She's working out her options, but more than likely she will be forced to close.
00:36:28.860
In England, energy prices are going up tenfold.
00:36:39.000
People are not going to be able to afford this.
00:36:56.000
It's because people want to get more power and more money.

A massive ice sheet in Greenland is set to raise global sea levels by nearly a foot by the end of this century in a melting event driven by human-caused climate change.
00:37:19.060
The findings in the journal Nature Climate Change show that 3.3% of Greenland's ice sheet will melt.
00:37:33.080
The ice loss will prompt about 10 inches of sea level rise between now and 2100.

When Obama sells his house on the island, when all of the liberals move out of Malibu, when they all sell their homes, which are going to be completely destroyed, and we should get off because we're destroying the natural habitat.
00:38:03.100
When they start selling their house, then I'll believe it's serious.
00:38:08.740
Or at least I'll believe they're serious about it.
00:38:12.480
But right now, I don't think they're serious about it, and I don't think it's serious.
00:38:25.700
No, second thought, don't, because I don't want you anywhere near the mountains.
00:38:49.500
I have been helping candidates through a campaign consulting firm, and as a voter now, I've kind of observed a couple of habits that are taking place.
00:39:05.380
Our grassroots candidates that are running for Republican, they're being stomped out by, you know, the establishment in different areas.
00:39:20.260
So I have another candidate in Connecticut that they snubbed her out, a great conservative.
00:39:30.700
And so we're like, okay, well, we're going to start looking at the independent party.
00:39:37.300
And she was up to get the endorsement on Sunday.
00:39:46.280
Another Republican candidate came in, and on the local level, because it's a local race, he got the endorsement for the independent and the Republicans.
00:40:01.960
So the GOP is basically bullying themselves into these other parties, which now I am looking at very actively, what are the other parties in North Carolina?
00:40:18.520
Because all I'm ever told is, oh, you can't change parties.
00:40:32.680
And if that means losing, then that's what you do.
00:40:36.500
But the people are losing because these candidates aren't being placed on the ballot for the people to even know about.
00:40:47.700
So what I'm doing now is I'm just doing research in North Carolina just as a voter and trying to find out what's going on.
00:40:57.180
But I am going to keep doing that and decide what's going on.
00:41:00.760
Well, Connie, I'm not going to talk you out of it.
00:41:03.240
I do believe that this is the possible last midterm election we will have.
00:41:14.560
And I do believe that if we don't all hang together, we will hang separately.
00:41:33.740
I've seen the Republican Party do some awful things.
00:41:37.220
But the most effective thing we can do is do our best to get that party to come back our way.
00:41:50.480
I would be for disbanding the Republican Party and starting from scratch.
00:41:54.720
I think the leadership of the Republican Party is the biggest problem.
00:42:15.280
And I'm not trying to convince your mind or convince you to go the other way.
00:42:23.340
That's the way we all felt at the end of the Tea Party.
00:42:27.280
They they came in and took over the Tea Party and did everything they could to destroy it.
00:42:37.380
But the few people that we did get in made a huge difference.
00:42:41.780
And it was the Tea Party that set up everything that you're seeing now in the Supreme Court.
00:43:07.220
When I hear Nancy Pelosi or Kareem Jean-Pierre say our Constitution is under attack, I feel that they have attacked our Constitution.
00:43:23.520
It doesn't seem like it's the same Constitution that's hanging on my wall.
00:43:34.540
Yeah, well, it's not that it's it's the first of all, the Constitution, 1789 and Bill of Rights, 1791.
00:43:46.000
But I'll tell you, they don't believe in the Declaration of Independence, which was 1776.
00:43:56.640
All of that stuff is just to image themselves as Americans.
