The first congressional hearing on UFOs in 50 years, and the latest in the crazy things going on in our schools. Also, the truth about the eco socialist racist that did the shooting in Buffalo, and who is really behind the article in Rolling Stone that says Republicans are racist.
00:00:00.000Hey, great podcast today for you. If you're into space and UFOs, believe it or not, we start there because Congress is having open hearings on UFOs.
00:00:10.360Not that that's going to matter, but it actually kind of does matter, especially when it comes to our schools.
00:00:19.020And we tell you what's what the latest is with your science teachers and the National Science Teaching Association.
00:00:26.880Yeah. Holding seminars, instructing teachers on how to queer their classroom.
00:00:33.800Also, more trouble in Virginia schools. You've you've got kids in middle schools, middle schools that are now being charged with sexual harassment because they won't call their friend of them.
00:00:49.840They. And when you see the ramifications of that, it's quite amazing.
00:00:55.700Also, we talked to you a little bit about what happened in Buffalo, the truth of the eco socialist racist that did the shooting.
00:01:04.940And who's really behind the article in the Rolling Stone, the editorial about, oh, my gosh, Republicans are just so incredibly racist.
00:01:17.360Also, we have Dave McCormick on. He's running for Senate in the great state of Pennsylvania and so much more, including ESG.
00:01:26.840Oh, and something that everyone has to pay attention to from the WHO.
00:01:34.040It's all on today's podcast. Don't miss it.
00:01:45.420You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:49.360All right. I want to start here and believe me, we're going to get back to school in a second and you'll see the transition.
00:01:57.920A House Intelligence Subcommittee today is holding the first congressional hearing on UFOs in 50 years.
00:02:08.440Now, I don't know if the world has been paying attention to what is happening with the Pentagon and UFOs, but is, I think, the biggest story possibly of any of our lifetimes may be the biggest story in all of human history.
00:02:34.080What's happening right now is the Congress has decided to call a hearing on UFOs because there are things that are happening that for the very first time, the Navy and our military can actually track these UFOs.
00:02:55.240In the past, you haven't been able to track them.
00:02:58.840You've only had pilots that say, I swear to you, I saw this, but they move so quickly, at least the ones now, that they could never lock on to them.
00:03:08.460We have locked on to some sort of a ship with, as it's described, no apparent propulsion system, no heat signature, nothing, and they are moving at high speed.
00:03:26.840And we have tracked them, locked onto them for weeks at a time.
00:03:31.660They move in ways that are beyond our understanding of physics, and we have seen them up close.
00:03:43.720They seem to be, according to the Pentagon, I can't say targeting, observing our nuclear weapons.
00:03:56.100They have been hovering over some of our Navy, naval bases.
00:04:03.860They have engaged in dogfights with our pilots.
00:04:08.660They have shown that they are way beyond our technology or understanding.
00:04:17.560Now that we have verified, we're left with two things.
00:04:20.460Are they otherworldly, or is that China that has developed technology so far ahead of us that there's no chance of defeating them?
00:04:36.300From what I have discussed with members of the Pentagon that have been part of this search, they say that they just don't believe that it's China because the technology is so far ahead that it would affect the rest of your society.
00:04:56.300There's no way you could develop just that and not let it bleed into other things.
00:06:49.480Let's assume, they say, it's another country, another nation, or another group that is operating something that we don't understand.
00:06:57.800This is according to the Heritage Foundation Senior Fellow for Naval Warfare and Advanced Technology.
00:07:02.860That's definitely a security threat that we can't necessarily defend against because you can't defend against something that you just don't understand.
00:07:11.940So, we are looking at technology now that defies the laws of physics.
00:08:22.960So, as we are raising our children and looking for tomorrow's scientists, the National Science Teaching Association has just held a seminar called Queer Your Classroom.
00:08:38.920It happened on April 2nd, instructing teachers on, quote, simple tricks and strategies to affirm and represent queer students who are marginalized in science.
00:08:54.640This seminar, led by Bronx High School of Science, the chemistry teacher there, Jamie Kubrick, who goes by they and he pronouns, which do not work.
00:09:19.160He instructed attendees on how to affirm and represent queer identities and make impactful changes to K-12 curriculum.
00:09:31.080He instructed teachers on the GLSEN Gender Triangle Education Guide, which defines gender attribution, gender identity, and gender expression,
00:09:42.980explaining that there's a common misconception that gender and sex are the same thing.
00:09:48.720But they're not, according to his presentation slides.
00:09:51.700This is put together by GLSEN, a national advocacy organization, which aims to, quote,
00:09:57.000transform K-12 schools into a safe and affirming environment.
00:10:03.500And, okay, parents for defending education say this is just more political activism.
00:11:35.640Teachers are instructed to ask students for their gender pronouns rather than assuming gender identity or misgendering with incorrect pronouns.
00:11:48.180And use terms like everyone and you all instead of saying you guys.
00:11:53.960A sample student information survey included in the slides asked students for their gender pronouns.
00:11:59.540If these pronouns can be used front in the class and which pronouns the teacher should use when contacting the family.
00:12:10.540So not only are we taking science and making it all about gender studies and let me go on.
00:12:18.760The presentation suggests queer ideology can be implemented into every subject, including history, math, English, Spanish and science.
00:12:30.680The instructor said in my chemistry class, I've infused talking about gender and sexuality, even when it doesn't seem like it could even fit or that there would be time.
00:12:40.880For instance, when we talk about the electromagnetic spectrum, I can connect the word spectrum to how gender and sexuality can be a spectrum.
00:12:50.600So students can understand that there's two ends, but values are possible in between.
00:12:56.520We are now facing a world that is actually on a path by leaders for something called transhumanism.
00:16:49.400What's happened in our business community and in government with this shift towards wokeness,
00:16:57.440it's the combination of really wokeness and weakness that has made me want to run and really believing that's taking our country in the wrong direction.
00:17:04.840And ESG is at the top of the wokeness list where essentially the idea of sustainability and the broad ESG platform has permeated everything.
00:18:28.180What's happened in the last 18 months goes beyond anything in history in terms of the spike in spending.
00:18:33.840It's his terrible energy policy, which overnight made us energy dependent.
00:18:38.100And, of course, fuel costs is a primary component of inflation.
00:18:41.180And that's killing Pennsylvania's working families, elders on fixed income.
00:18:46.180This inflation and gas prices is just very damaging.
00:18:49.540And then he's had a very socialist agenda and high regulation, which has hurt our economy and really taken us back from the pro-growth policies of President Trump.
00:19:58.380And I defund anything that supported the teaching of critical race theory in our schools or a distorted sense of American history.
00:20:06.280It's outrageous that the exceptional America that we all love and have benefited from, the greatest country in the history of the world, that history is not being taught.
00:20:17.980What's being taught is a history of apology, all the things that are wrong about America as opposed to all the things that are right about America.
00:20:25.240And you can't even raise your hand to disagree or argue about it because of cancel culture.
00:20:29.220So I think what we learned in covid was that parents got a little closer look at what's going on in their schools and they and they don't like what they see.
00:20:36.940They don't like what they see in terms of the schools and school boards and local governments here, you know, petty, petty tyrants telling them what they should do with testing and mask and vaccines.
00:20:48.640They don't like the curriculum that's being taught and they haven't even historically had transparency on curriculum.
00:20:54.480It's only because you're sitting next to your kid while they're working from home that you see really what's being taught and they don't like the sexualization that's being taught in the schools and when it's being taught by whom.
00:21:05.380And so I think we've got a crisis in our schools.
00:21:08.340Certainly, the Department of Education is is is part of the problem.
00:21:11.100But the real problem is we don't have school choice.
00:21:14.180And so that's that's the way to create the right accountability is to is to break the back of our current model.
00:21:22.300And the only way to do that is give parents and students choice, put the money with the kids.
00:21:25.480And I think you'll see a completely different system.
00:21:27.740It'll be disruptive as hell, but it's very necessary.
00:22:12.680There's a wall and then there's big stacks of steel and there's contractor trailers.
00:22:16.580By the way, the contractors got paid because even though the wall wasn't finished, the construction and you got to reverse the catch and release.
00:22:24.760And then we got to crack down on this fentanyl problem.
00:23:47.860I'm offended by it, but I'm offended for two reasons.
00:23:51.740I'm offended by the way this came about.
00:23:54.500Thirty three billion dollar proposal from Biden makes its way to the to the Congress.
00:24:00.080Somehow along the way, seven billion more gets gets thrown on top of it.
00:24:03.400No hearings, no clear accountability, not sure sure where the money is spent.
00:24:09.440So that's offensive. And then on top of it, 40 billion dollars going out the door at a time when America is in crisis.
00:24:16.940We're in a crisis. You know, a fraction of that could finish that border wall I was just talking about.
00:24:21.400So I think the whole notion of doing that just shows how disconnected Washington is right now from the people I'm seeing in Pennsylvania every day.
00:24:31.340And they're I mean, they're they're angry, Glenn.
00:24:33.840You know, this they're angry about a lot of things, but it's stuff like this that makes them scratch their head and say, what the hell is going on down there?
00:24:40.820And and listen, as a business guy, as someone who's never been in politics, I can go down there and be a disruptor.
00:24:48.200I will look at things through the through the lens of what makes sense, what's common sense and what what do my conservative values that I've lived my whole life tell me we should do right now?
00:24:58.620And my obligations will be only to the people of Pennsylvania, and I won't be afraid to break a little glass.
00:25:04.480The the U.S. military is just it's being run by idiots and morons and politicians, honestly, leftists.
00:25:17.500Can we can we clear enough wood out of the top of the Pentagon to restore the credibility back?
00:25:25.020Well, you need listen, you need you need you need warfighters.
00:25:28.620You need warfighters. There's there's two problems that I see with our with our current military.
00:25:34.020The first problem is the one you refer to, where we've got we've got a whole social.
00:25:42.440The wokeness that I mentioned earlier, and that takes focus off of warfighting.
00:25:48.100We have we've got a bunch of leaders, both uniforms and civilian that are much more worried about ESG and things like that.
00:25:55.020And, you know, how do we go head to head with China?
00:25:56.820And so that's problem one. Problem two is I fear we're making the mistake that our military has made in the past, which is we're fighting the last war, not the not the future war.
00:26:06.640And when I look at what it's going to take to go head to head with China, I don't think we're investing in the right things.
00:26:13.200I don't think we've got the right kind of innovative leadership. I think there's complacency.
00:26:17.840And I think I think we're not on a path to be the dominant force in the world that we need to be.
00:26:24.100And, you know, I'm subscribed to Ronald Reagan's line of peace through strength.
00:26:27.640And America needs to have the premier military in the world.
00:26:31.940And it needs to be clear that if you cross the line with America, the results will be devastating.
00:26:37.000And I fear that our military is taking us on a path where where that's not the case.
00:26:41.680And then, of course, when you have incompetent leadership at the top like Joe Biden and the debacle in Afghanistan, that that that invites tyrants around the world to test us because they think they think they found a soft spot.
00:26:53.020So one more question, then I'll let you go, Dave. I know it's a busy day for you, but we're talking to Dave McCormick.
00:26:58.220He is running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. This is probably the number one race.
00:27:04.760You know, some people don't understand why Kathy is surging in the polls here recently.
00:27:12.940And I think it is because if I may translate, I don't think Republicans truly understand how done Republican voters are with the Republican Party, how done they are with saying one thing and then getting in and and thinking you're fighting the same fight that we fought in 1985.
00:27:35.560We are up against the wall. The Constitution is barely hanging on.
00:27:43.380We are in the fight of our life. Why should Pennsylvanians trust that you're going to go in and you're not going to be part of the McConnell, you know, Romney clan?
00:27:54.880Yeah. Well, listen, I think Pennsylvanians are zeroing in right now on on a couple of things.
00:28:00.540They feel like the country's slipping away. They know that this race is the most important race in their lifetime.
00:28:06.640They're trying to figure out who the candidate is that best shares their conservative values and agrees with what you said is going to fight for it.
00:28:13.800They're asking themselves who can win this general election because the stakes are so incredibly high and they're and they're asking themselves who has the experience to show up on day one and deal with the things you just asked me about, the border inflation, because we don't have time for on the job training.
00:28:29.640We know what that looks like. That's Kamala Harris. That's on the job training. Right. It's a disaster.
00:28:34.460And so I believe I'm that candidate. And that's the momentum that I'm feeling on the ground, because as people zero in on this, they don't want to take any risk.
00:28:43.080And with regard to Kathy, I know Kathy got to know her on the campaign trail. I admire her personal story, but she's been tested.
00:28:49.940She was tested 18 months ago and lost a congressional seat by by 20 points and now is under the spotlight.
00:28:57.480And listen, I've been under the spotlight for a long time. And there's there's questions that all of us need to ask and she or answer rather.
00:29:04.920And she certainly needs to answer all of those, including, you know, the support she has from the Club for Growth, which is a perfect example of a big part of the establishment.
00:29:13.900So that's that's the state of the race. And I appreciate the opportunity to be with you, Glenn.
00:29:20.660The thing I would like to close with is for your Pennsylvania listeners, I'm asking for their vote.
00:29:27.060I've I've you know, somebody asked me the other day if I'm America first.
00:29:30.520I've been America first since at the age of 18 when I went to West Point and then and then went to the 82nd Airborne Division.
00:29:37.000And I'm a conservative that has succeeded in business. I've lived the American dream.
00:29:42.740And I want to have a chance to make sure that American dreams available for our kids.
00:29:45.760And it's not going to be unless we take significant change, corrective action right now.
00:29:52.220And and I can be a big part of that change in the Senate on behalf of the great people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
00:29:57.760So thank you, sir, for having me. I appreciate the opportunity.
00:30:00.640Dave is great. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. That's Dave McCormick.
00:30:04.020You can follow him or find out more information if you are thinking of voting in Pennsylvania.
00:30:10.100Dave McCormick, P.A. dot com. Dave McCormick, P.A. dot com.
00:30:48.200He's the one who really made them into what they are today.
00:30:52.240He was the guy who started Carl's Carl's Karchner's personal attorney in 86.
00:30:59.260He became the CEO in 2000, led the company out of serious financial difficulties under his leadership.
00:31:04.900They expanded to almost 4000 restaurants globally.
00:31:08.580Currently, currently the executive chairman of the board of Second Vote Advisors.
00:31:12.700It's an investment firm formed in response to share, sorry, stakeholder capitalism and the ESG movement.
00:31:21.400He is a frequent lecturer on economics and politics for various groups, as well as colleges and universities.
00:31:27.820Senior fellow at Pepperdine University School of Public Policy, a visiting fellow business and economic freedom at the Heritage Foundation.
00:31:36.100Senior fellow at the America First Policy Institute, a member of the Reagan Institute's National Leadership Council, a director of the Job Creators Network, also on the Washington University Law School Board of Advisors, the State Financial Officers Foundation National Advisory Committee and the advisory board at Prager University.
00:31:57.300Obviously, he has nothing to do with his day.
00:32:24.240ESG, and I want to get to second vote because that's a real solution.
00:32:28.860But you just described ESG off air as the biggest threat to America in your lifetime.
00:32:37.640Yeah, it's a real challenge to the core values of the Constitution.
00:32:40.860It's a threat to our democracy because it takes away the right to resolve things at the voting booth.
00:32:47.360These large investment firms vote stock to compel companies to do things that they might not otherwise do, accomplish these progressive agenda items, and they do it as a shortcut around the ballot box because they can't get these things passed popularly.
00:33:01.560It's a threat to our economic freedom because they pressure CEOs rather than to pursue profit, which is the heart and soul of the free market capitalist system that's given us this incredible prosperity.
00:33:12.580They compel them to do things that are consistent with this progressive agenda, and it's a threat to our individual liberty because they use our money.
00:33:20.720They're using the money of red state pension funds.
00:33:23.140If you've got an investment, if you have any assets at all invested, you probably have investments with BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard.
00:33:30.120They will vote all of the shares they own with your money against your values and against your financial interests if they're pursuing these progressive agenda.
00:33:39.860So it's a large – as you said earlier, it's the most severe threat to our nation and our freedom and our liberty in my lifetime, and I'll be 72 years old.
00:33:49.560That's about 30 percent of the country's history.
00:34:03.080And the more I looked into it and found the original sources, I couldn't believe how well done it was and how far done it was.
00:34:14.240Are we – I mean, are we cooked here?
00:34:16.340Well, we're not cooked because we can still react, and as you know from the conference you're having here as we speak, state governments are beginning to react to this because they're finding that their state funds are being invested to pursue things they were elected to oppose.
00:34:34.980But look, it's – you know, as I said, it's insidious.
00:34:38.680It's – what they did – you have to respect what the left did on this.
00:34:42.380All of a sudden it appeared, and it looked – by the time I discovered it about 18 months, two years ago, and by the time I found out about it, it looked like we had lost already.
00:34:50.560We're fighting back now, so we haven't.
00:34:53.820You know, they're now talking about individual ESG scores, which means that you individually will be – may not get the credit score – you may not get the interest rate you want, or you may not get a bank loan because of the charities you contribute to.
00:35:06.760Maybe you contributed to your church's charity.
00:35:10.400Or you were in the paper or online standing up against the local school board.
00:35:14.940Or you supported a Republican candidate or a conservative candidate.
00:35:18.180All of these things will go into the ESG scoring, and you will be compelled to hide your religious beliefs.
00:35:22.840You'll be compelled to hide your political beliefs if you want a loan.
00:35:25.920If your kids want to buy a car, if they want to get insurance, they're going to have to hide who they are or what they do if we let this continue.
00:35:32.260And they say that – you know, people will say, well, that's unconstitutional, and these are private corporations.
00:36:07.360It's 1984, and you don't even know it.
00:36:10.240And now they're even using phrases that come out of 1984, like this – what's the group that's now going to judge whether or not we can see it?
00:37:02.920And so you're – but the more I looked into it, the more I found, my God, they are doing – and it's not the CEOs of these companies who actually would, I think, many of them, like to make a profit and not be politically involved.
00:37:34.440That's 80% of the largest publicly traded companies in America.
00:37:38.160If you add them together, they're the largest shareholder, and they all – they're all pursuing this ESG agenda.
00:37:44.980You know, radical environmental policy, critical race theory, human resource programs, this so-called diversity hiring where you put people on your boards of directors,
00:37:53.600not based on their qualifications or their character, but based on their race or their sex, which, quite honestly, I've been fighting against my whole career.
00:38:00.260All of a sudden, now it's a fashionable thing to do.
00:38:39.460It's the kind of threat that we've always been warned about.
00:38:42.600It's the kind of threat that comes from within.
00:38:45.100And it's one of the reasons that now you – my friend Vivek Ramasamy has talked about coming out with a group that will have investments where you can put money and fight this world capitalism thing.
00:38:55.260My friends Dave and Diane Black already started – and who you know well – have already started a group called Second Vote Advisors.
00:39:02.960I'm now the executive chairman of that group.
00:39:05.080And we offer – you can buy our products today.
00:39:07.360Vivek's products are probably coming out in the fall.
00:39:09.360But today, we've got a pro-life product where if you invest, it's L-Y-F-E, and you can get it on Ameritrade or have your broker get it for you.
00:39:23.780If you invest in it, you will not be investing in any companies that support abortion, not only ones that – not only will you not be supporting companies that perform, but companies that, you know, make charitable contributions to Planned Parenthood or companies that are now talking about sending their employees to other states to get abortions.
00:39:40.560They will not be in that fund, and it's performed very well, beat the S&P 500 and the Russell 1000 consistently.
00:39:48.280It's amazing when companies, you know, decide to just do what they do best, how good those companies can be.
00:39:56.440Well, we actually have a fund coming out called the Shareholders' First Fund, which will only invest in funds that are politically neutral, not left, not right.
00:40:04.840It's an ETF that should be out in the next month or two.
00:40:47.820And the companies that we exclude from this ETF are ones that support defunding the police, oppose the Second Amendment, oppose border security.
00:41:43.500We're out there with Products Now fighting this.
00:41:45.580Thank God you're fighting it with the organization you have here that's opposed to ESG.
00:41:52.920There are other – you know, each state has to fight.
00:41:55.960Alec came out – I drafted a law about three, four months ago that makes it a breach of fiduciary duty for fiduciaries,
00:42:04.580these pension fund fiduciaries, to invest in ESG as opposed to profit-motivated.
00:42:08.680It really – I really just took what was in ERISA, which is a federal law that doesn't govern state plants,
