00:00:08.580 in the studio. I returned from the Super Bowl. We'll talk a little bit about that and what that

00:00:13.420 was like. It was a pretty interesting experience. Also, I don't know if you've ever heard of him,

00:00:18.260 but he was a former president of the United States. His name is Donald Trump. Donald Trump

00:00:22.080 joins us today at the top of hour two. Also, Mike Lee is on the program as well. We have a big update

00:00:29.180 on the Great Reset and what policies are being passed in state after state after state now

00:00:35.280 because people are waking up to this. It's a pretty interesting thing. And we get into Canada

00:00:40.700 as well, the craziness from Justin Trudeau and authorities in Canada. We'll talk about that

00:01:01.620 it to you? Here's the podcast.

00:01:03.340 The biggest scandal was when they spied on my campaign. They spied on my campaign, Leslie.

00:01:23.860 There's no real evidence of that. Of course there is. It's all over the place. Leslie,

00:01:28.120 they spied on my campaign and they got caught. Can I say something? You know, this is 60 Minutes

00:01:33.640 and we can't put on things we can't verify. You won't put it on because it's bad for Biden.

00:01:39.020 We can't put on things we can't verify. Leslie, they spied on my campaign.

00:01:43.020 Well, we can't verify that. It's been totally verified. No.

00:01:45.900 It's been, just go down and get the papers. They spied on my campaign. They got caught.

00:01:50.900 No. And then they went much further than that and they got caught. And you will see that,

00:01:55.340 Leslie. And you know that, but you just don't want to know. As a matter of fact,

00:01:59.340 I don't know that. We just don't have the facts. Well, Leslie, now you do. And President Trump is

00:02:05.580 here to discuss perhaps why CBS and everybody else is not talking about this. Welcome to the program,

00:02:14.240 President Donald Trump. Well, thank you, Glenn. Great to be with you.

00:02:18.080 Thank you. So this is this is pretty amazing. You were right when you said this is worse than

00:02:26.540 Watergate. This is far worse than Watergate. And we don't seem to have anybody in the mainstream

00:02:32.480 media that cares about it at all. Well, in Watergate, they broke into an apartment in Watergate

00:02:39.260 and they took some things and nothing good about it. And it turned out to be a disaster.

00:02:46.220 Sure. This is far bigger. They broke into my campaign and all of that. But perhaps most

00:02:52.360 importantly, they they broke into the Oval Office. They broke into the White House

00:02:57.780 at the highest levels. So illegal. And as you know, being somebody that knows history probably better

00:03:05.480 than almost anyone else, that would have been a short time ago, it would have been considered

00:03:12.660 treason. And I agree. You know what? Treason is punishable by. And a longer time ago, it would

00:03:20.820 have been punishable by death when we were in a tough country. Yeah. And I wonder if I wonder if

00:03:28.720 I wonder if there's going to be any punishment at all with this. I mean, Hillary Clinton spying on your

00:03:38.220 campaign, Trump Tower and the White House. The information was ginned up. Then it was fed to

00:03:44.220 both the FBI and the CIA. They both said, we don't believe this is true. Why didn't the FBI and CIA

00:03:52.720 come out when Leslie Stahl was saying and saying things like this and going, yeah, it is it is

00:03:59.300 true what they are talking about. None of that Russia stuff is true. And they were spying.

00:04:07.720 Well, they didn't come out and nobody came out and they did everything possible to get crooked

00:04:13.640 Hillary elected. And she didn't do well. And we did much better the second time. By the way,

00:04:20.640 we got 12 million more votes than we got the first time. And they worked four years on that scheme.

00:04:25.780 But she certainly didn't do well. But this just came out very strongly. I we were wondering,

00:04:32.240 when are we going to hear from Durham? And it looks to me like this is just a foundation. This is going

00:04:38.520 maybe all the way to the top, because obviously, the people on top at the very, very top knew all

00:04:44.820 about this. The corporate media was involved in this. I mean, there needs to be, I think you would

00:04:51.660 agree, a massive house cleaning with justice, the FBI, the CIA, all of these agencies, house

00:05:00.340 cleaning, for sure. But the but the corporate media helped, you know, they were right there

00:05:06.660 with them. Are you planning on suing anyone? Well, you know, they got Pulitzer prizes for

00:05:13.660 this. Russia, Russia, Russia, Pulitzer committee gave them various people who did a terrible job.

00:05:22.080 I mean, they got it wrong, totally right from the beginning. And they should give back their

00:05:26.740 Pulitzer prizes, they should be taken back. But the Pulitzer organization is very embarrassed right now. And

00:05:33.160 we know that for a fact. It's a joke. Actually, it's a joke. And that's it. But the Pulitzer

00:05:40.540 surprises the least of it. People should pay consequence. And, you know, the crime is one of

00:05:47.200 the biggest crimes that many people have ever seen, certainly politically. I think this is one

00:05:52.620 of the biggest things they've ever seen. And it is far bigger than Watergate. Watergate's nothing

00:05:56.720 compared to this. And Watergate occupied the entire front page of the New York Times and Washington Post

00:06:02.960 for for a long period of time. I mean, there were no other stories, literally. And this has not gotten

00:06:10.120 to the best of my knowledge, even a mention in either of those two corrupt papers. I think

00:06:15.860 they're disgraceful. They're a disgrace to our country. And likewise, with the ABC fake news,

00:06:24.060 NBC fake news and CBS fake news, I don't believe they've even mentioned it. And it's bigger than

00:06:31.360 Watergate. It's worse than Watergate. It represents so much worse. I mean, think of it, they broke into

00:06:38.140 the White House and they spied. And they literally broke in. This is a modern day break in.

00:06:45.100 How did you know? Because you said from the very beginning, they're spying on us.

00:06:50.720 How did you know that was happening? You have the best gut on you. Is it just gut or?

00:06:57.640 I think it was a combination of things. But I'll tell you, the world blew up when I did that.

00:07:03.700 And I put it out. That's something to the effect that Barack Obama spied in our campaign.

00:07:12.260 And I was watching a television program. I won't mention which one, but I was watching it. And

00:07:21.360 somebody suggested that he was. And I felt there was something strange going on, really strange.

00:07:28.380 And I just put it out. And I thought it would be a ho-hum. And I got a call like two minutes later

00:07:34.880 from the head of communication saying, sir, did you just say that Obama was spying on your campaign?

00:07:41.460 And I said, yeah, I did. They said, the wires are burning up. They're smoking. I couldn't believe

00:07:52.080 it. And that was like, I think it was a Saturday morning. You know, that's not a, that's not really

00:07:56.320 a hot time. Right. And they said, the wires are burning. And now I know why, because they said,

00:08:03.620 oh, my God, they, they caught us. They caught us. But the word, the word was, and do you remember

00:08:10.800 how vehemently they, how dare he say that? How dare? And it was like, you know, normally you'd go

00:08:18.120 into a shell. Oh, gee, why did I ever put out something so stupid? But I never took it back.

00:08:23.540 And then over the years, you'd see it got worse and worse. And you'd see, and then people started

00:08:29.060 saying, you know, I think, I think Trump was right about that. And you look at the Carter Page stuff

00:08:35.280 and you look at all of the different things that have happened, so many different things

00:08:39.720 really culminating. This is sort of an amazing thing that's happening with Durham because a lot

00:08:45.800 of people had given up and they said, well, yeah, and he seems to be going forward at a level that

00:08:52.580 nobody ever thought possible. Right. And what he's revealing, and if you really look at it and

00:08:58.820 study it and read what they wrote, this looks like it's just a foundation. This is the beginning.

00:09:05.340 They're building a building. And this is the, this is just a foundation on which a lot of big things

00:09:13.200 are going to be revealed. Look, I have very little doubt that the upper levels of government, meaning

00:09:20.460 the top level specifically, and the vice level, if, if he would understand it, I have very little doubt

00:09:29.760 that they knew what was happening. Very little doubt. And you don't either, because that's the

00:09:35.420 way it works. They come back and they report. When Comey went to me to tell me about the fake dossier,

00:09:41.820 you know, to tell me these things, which turned out to be totally fake. It was like a fiction novel

00:09:46.840 that this guy got paid like a massive amount of money. Somebody told me he got paid 12 million

00:09:51.460 dollars. That's more than the great James Patterson gets paid to do a, a number one bestseller.

00:09:58.940 But, but James, uh, James does a better job. And frankly, uh, I think this would be too far

00:10:05.640 fetched for James. This would be, that's right. It's more believable. Nobody would believe this,

00:10:10.580 but think of the money he got paid and he turned out to be just a sleazebag.

00:10:16.840 Mr. President, let me, uh, I don't, I I'm sure you haven't read, uh, my book on the great reset.

00:10:22.880 I want to send it to you because I am convinced that this is the reason all of this stuff has

00:10:29.420 happened to you. There is a, a, a globalization kind of, of push and we're even seeing it, uh,

00:10:38.020 out of the treasury in Canada yesterday. Uh, and they, they just could not have you in office

00:10:45.420 because you believe in America first, not to hell with the rest of the world, but that we

00:10:51.180 take care of America first. And I think you were, I think you were targeted the whole time. It's why

00:10:57.700 the, it's why the, uh, corporations came out right after the election and said, yeah, well, we had

00:11:03.100 massive campaigns and we were helping. They were proud of it. I've never seen that before in American

00:11:08.340 history. Do you, do you, are you familiar? Are you familiar with the great reset? Uh, I, I am

00:11:16.920 looking forward to getting your book. I will read it and talk to you about it, uh, but I know what

00:11:22.660 your book is and I've heard enough about it and there is a great reset. And I just listened to your

00:11:29.880 piece as I was waiting on Trudeau, where he was saying things that are unthinkable. What he was

00:11:35.940 saying is unthinkable and to think this is happening in Canada is hard to believe, actually

00:11:42.280 hard to believe. It was, it was pretty incredible to listen to that. They would have marched on the

00:11:49.900 white house had you done that. Uh, and it's, it's unexplainable. Let me ask you this last week,

00:11:56.800 the DHS issued a terror bulletin targeting misinformation peddlers, basically fill in the blank. Whoever is an 0.57

00:12:05.300 alternative media source. Um, and they, uh, pointed directly at people that are simply asking

00:12:12.180 questions, uh, of the authorities. I don't know if you've read that, but it seemed to be a threat

00:12:18.980 or a way to intimidate conservatives. Have you read that bulletin? And yes, because the, the New York

00:12:26.380 Times article on you starts with the people who are peddling this so-called Durham truth are, uh,

00:12:35.020 conspiracy theories, theorists, and, uh, uh, pushing misinformation, which is exactly from the DHS

00:12:42.060 terror warning. Right. Can you believe it? You know, this is where, uh, that is well as started 20 years

00:12:49.040 ago. Uh, this is, and you look at what's happened to that country that's happening to this country.

00:12:53.960 And we had it going in a great direction. Then we got sidetracked by, by the China virus coming in.

00:13:01.520 And that's a whole nother subject. And then we built it back up again. And we did an incredible

00:13:06.540 job with operation warp speed, like nobody's ever seen. And, and I've been given great credit for that,

00:13:11.960 but it was, it was an incredible thing we did in the timing. And by the way, therapeutics also,

00:13:17.560 the therapeutics have been incredible. Uh, and so many, so many things were so good and so positive.

00:13:25.240 And, you know, one of the things, if you question the election and, and just take a look at happens

00:13:30.040 as what's happened with the recent, uh, finding of the, uh, motor, uh, the, the voting, uh, what would

00:13:39.880 you call it? Where they corral all the votes, they get them all and they drop them in the harvesting,

00:13:45.940 I guess they would say the voter harvest. Uh, nobody's ever seen anything like this where

00:13:52.340 people went back and back and back and back and stuff ballots. And it's coming out in Dinesh D'Souza.

00:13:59.340 I think you feel is a very good guy is doing something on it, but it's not him. It's what

00:14:06.260 they found the truth to vote people. And they found thousands of hours of tapes of ballot harvesting,

00:14:13.300 totally illegal where they're stuffing the ballot boxes and taking pictures of themselves

00:14:17.780 so they can get paid. And this is a whole big operation. And if you even mentioned it,

00:14:24.100 they try and silence you as much as possible, but you're not silenced very easily. And I'm not

00:14:29.460 silenced very easily. And you know, with all the silencing, there's Hillary Clinton thing. 1.00

00:14:34.100 This turned out to be a monster. You know, the New York times won't write about it.

00:14:37.940 Washington post won't work. Think of it. They broke into the office of the president in the white 0.97

00:14:42.660 house and they haven't written one story about it that I know of. I haven't seen anything.

00:14:48.260 It's incredible, but I've seen one, I've seen one and they call it misinformation.

00:14:53.780 Oh, it's terrible. It's so incredible. It's so incredible that they can do that.

00:14:59.620 These are very corrupt people. These are very corrupt people. And you know that as well as anybody.

00:15:06.020 And you almost don't even know why are they trying to destroy our country?

00:15:09.780 You know, the media, our country can really never do what it has to do with a corrupt press,

00:15:18.420 because that used to be like the policing agent. And now it's not policing. It's policing

00:15:24.740 just what they want to police. It's it's so corrupt. And you wonder, what are they doing? Why are they

00:15:30.180 doing it? That's what I keep saying. Why? Why do they want to have? I have millions of people's

00:15:35.860 come in. People come in. You know, why do they want to defund the police? Why? You know,

00:15:40.500 these things are so basic. And why do they want it? And they really believe it, I think. Why do they

00:15:45.940 want it? I will tell you when you read The Great Reset, it is the Rosetta Stone, because that was my

00:15:52.820 main question. Why? What do they have to gain? Why would they do this? And when you see what the what the

00:16:00.260 deal is, and all of them are in on it, Mr. Trump or President Trump, all of them. And when you when

00:16:08.100 you see you understand tech, you understand the media, you understand big business, you understand

00:16:12.500 the corruption in Washington, you understand why leadership came out against you all around the

00:16:18.020 world. It all makes sense. And if we don't, if we don't really address it, we're we're going to lose

00:16:25.060 our country soon, because they're getting more and more arrogant. And they also, I think, are afraid.

00:16:31.620 I mean, I think Trudeau doing what he did yesterday shows they're afraid. They're afraid of people

00:16:37.060 waking up and standing up. Well, I will say this. There is a tremendous anger in this country,

00:16:45.860 a tremendous anger. And, you know, it's interesting because it's sort of very similar. When you look at

00:16:51.300 Canada, what the truckers are doing, plenty of Americans out there, too, by the way. But this

00:16:56.660 anger is far greater than even what they have up there. And it's simmering. And they look at what's

00:17:03.380 happened with the election. They look at what's happened with the borders, how people, how jails

00:17:08.980 are being emptied into our country from other countries. I mean, we're having some of the worst 1.00

00:17:15.140 people on Earth are being dropped into our country. We're like a dumping ground, 0.98

00:17:20.500 like a trash basket. And and it's happening at a level that nobody believes possible. You know,

00:17:27.060 when they say two million people or three million people went to the country this year illegally,

00:17:32.020 I think the number is many times that I think it's many times. Oh, yeah. And I think it's so bad.

00:17:38.020 You go to Texas and you see what happens to talk to the people living in Texas. They've never seen

00:17:43.780 anything like it. Talk to the people living in Arizona. They say it's like they're living in a

00:17:48.660 different state. And this all took place over the last less than a year. It's it's unbelievable

00:17:55.620 what's happening to our country. And it just doesn't stop at the border states. I mean, they go right

00:18:00.500 through and into the rest of the country. And then, of course, they're even delivered into the rest of 0.62

00:18:04.900 the country. Forget about walking through. They are delivered into the rest of the country. 1.00

00:18:09.140 And we don't know anything about them. We don't know who they are when when they took this Afghanistan, 0.99

00:18:14.420 which I think and you do, too, was the single greatest embarrassment in the history of our

00:18:18.580 country. All right. That was the single greatest. But when they took all those

00:18:22.420 tens of thousands of people out, no, we have no idea who those people are. And in there,

00:18:28.260 you have many terrorists and we will be paying a big price in the future for that airlift,

00:18:34.020 which was so grossly incompetent. Horrible. Yeah. Mr. President,

00:18:39.060 I know you have a very tight schedule. I thank you very much for being on the program today.

00:18:43.140 And keep your spirits up. America is a different place because of you in a good way. Thank you.

00:18:50.980 Well, we have to get it back. And you help a lot. And I appreciate it very much.

00:18:55.300 Thank you very much.

00:18:59.620 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:02.100 Dear Senate colleagues, we have consistently opposed President Biden's federal COVID-19 vaccine

00:19:21.220 mandates, which would force millions of Americans to choose between an unwanted medical procedure

00:19:26.180 and being able to provide for their families for legal, constitutional and policy reasons.

00:19:30.980 We remain not only strongly opposed to the mandates, but also firmly convinced that the risk of inaction

00:19:38.340 on our part is unacceptably high. That is the opening paragraph from Senator Mike Lee.

00:19:46.260 And it is signed by at least six of the top 10 conservatives in Washington, D.C.

00:19:55.140 Mike Lee, Cynthia Loomis, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Braun, and Roger Marshall.

00:20:02.180 And Mike Lee is on with us now. Hello, Mike.

00:20:06.740 Hello. Good to be with you.

00:20:09.700 Thank you. So what is what is your plan? What are you doing?

00:20:12.980 Look, we've got millions of Americans who are still under vaccine mandates.

00:20:20.420 And while the granddaddy of all of them has thankfully been rejected by the Supreme Court,

00:20:24.980 and it's now been pulled back by the administration as a result, a number of dangerous federal vaccine

00:20:30.740 mandates still remain. And those mandates still cover many millions of Americans, huge sectors of the

00:20:36.580 workforce. So meanwhile, the administration ignores natural immunity and the fact that vaccines are,

00:20:45.220 you know, not necessarily stopping people from getting the virus. Some of them have become less

00:20:49.620 effective with the variants. So we can't claim to be a free country when the government's forcing

00:20:55.780 millions of people to choose between a paycheck and an unwanted medical procedure. And so that's

00:21:00.980 why I and my colleagues that I've mentioned are saying is enough is enough. We've got these

00:21:06.580 truckers in Canada and people across this country who know that the vaccine mandates are wrong.

00:21:11.540 They're bravely standing against this authoritarianism. So what we're doing is we're sending this letter

00:21:17.620 saying we stand with American workers and families. We stand with individual choice. We stand with

00:21:23.380 millions of federal contractors, medical professionals, and federal employees and military personnel

00:21:29.460 in saying that their freedom matters too. We shouldn't be funding the government without independently

00:21:36.100 casting a vote on withholding funding for the enforcement of these unwise, tyrannical mandates.

00:21:44.900 So you have a continuing resolution, which is, you know, we don't pass budgets anymore. We just,

00:21:52.020 yeah, just keep doing the same thing. And in it, you'd be funding the vaccine mandates.

00:21:59.380 And what you want to do is vote first on no vaccine mandates in the continuing resolution,

00:22:08.900 and then you'll vote for the continuing resolution. Otherwise, you're not voting for it.

00:22:14.420 Yeah, that's the point is that every time we pass a continuing resolution, it's sort of like a reset

00:22:20.740 button that continues to fund all of government at the same levels for a certain period of time.

00:22:27.540 And what we're saying is that if you want us to vote on something like that, you need at least to give

00:22:33.860 us an opportunity to vote to say, fund everything else in government, but not enforcement of the vaccine

00:22:41.940 mandates. And if they don't give us that, we're not going to make it easier for them to pass this

00:22:47.940 faster. We have procedural rights in the Senate. And they need our agreement to expedite the vote on

00:22:56.820 this. And we're saying we're not going to do that unless you give us a vote on defunding the mandates.

00:23:01.780 So here's the question, because, yes, part is as part of the blaze family conservative review is with us.

00:23:11.300 And they I know you guys are among the top 10 conservatives because they rank you and it's a it's a pretty fair ranking,

00:23:20.100 I think. But when you look at Mitt Romney score, Stu, what is it? Fifty two?

00:23:26.580 Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Something like fifty two.

00:23:29.860 And I believe Mitch McConnell is either forty or forty two.

00:23:38.020 Is his the leadership going to go with this?

00:23:42.100 Well, look at it this way. We had another vote basically identical to this one back in December when we passed

00:23:50.980 the last continuing resolution. And we got every Republican who voted that day, who voted for

00:24:00.580 the amendment, voted to say we should not be funding the vaccine mandate.

00:24:06.020 The vote ended up being forty eight to fifty. Democrats won.

00:24:09.380 We had two absences that day. It otherwise would have been fifty to fifty.

00:24:14.420 Now, since that time, the vaccine mandates have become even less popular.

00:24:18.420 And since that time, Democrats have started to see that this whole fiasco needs to come to an end.

00:24:26.020 They've started to realize how unpopular it is back home.

00:24:29.780 So I think if we're able to cast this vote, I think we not only get every Republican,

00:24:35.380 I think there's a decent shot. We've even got some Democrats who will vote for it because the American people don't want it.

00:24:42.820 They know that it's morally wrong for government to tell people that if you don't bow to presidential medical orthodoxy,

00:24:51.220 we're going to render you not only unemployed, but unemployable. That's wrong.

00:24:54.980 So when does this go up, Mike? When when when are you guys hoping to pull this off?

00:25:06.180 The current continuing resolution expires on Friday.

00:25:10.500 And so it'll happen sometime between now and the end of this week where they will need to move forward.

00:25:18.260 And in order to process this, they will need to need to give us a vote. Remember, they did this just just back in December.

00:25:25.460 There's no reason why they couldn't do that again now. And I think it's important that we do it.

00:25:31.220 I think it would be irresponsible and disrespectful of those we represent to say, oh, no, we're just fine with with telling moms and dads across America

00:25:40.580 that they're not going to be able to put bread on the table if they disagree with the president on whether they should get jab.

00:25:48.740 So this is H.R. six, six, one, seven, correct?

00:25:55.620 Yeah, that's the number of the continuing resolution passed by the House when it comes over here.

00:26:01.900 We want to vote on an amendment to it.

00:26:04.040 Okay, so you you need to call your senators and tell them that on the continuing resolution, you want the Mike Lee amendment and and make sure that they hear your voice.

00:26:21.220 It actually does matter, especially if they're on the fence, if they're just convinced otherwise.

00:26:26.420 But there's a lot of people, even Democrats now, as Mike said, that could be swayed.

00:26:31.120 So call your congressman on the continuing resolution in the Senate this week.

00:26:36.720 You want the Mike Lee amendment passed and you don't want federal mandates to be funded anymore.

00:26:45.760 This protects all of our media.

00:26:48.260 I'm sorry, media protects all of our military, protects our health care workers and protects those who are working for the federal government.

00:26:56.420 Right now, Mike, thank you for your work on this.

00:27:00.700 Can I ask you a couple of other nonrelated questions?

00:27:04.000 I should wait for you.

00:27:06.200 Yeah.

00:27:06.720 OK, I just had President Trump on a minute ago and he said that this spying, if it is as we think it is with the Durham investigation and what facts we have, he says it's worse than Watergate.

00:27:23.120 I tend to agree with him.

00:27:25.520 It's much worse than Watergate.

00:27:27.300 Would you agree or not?

00:27:30.400 Yeah, I tend to agree with you and what you've described yesterday, which is this information.

00:27:37.080 If this is true, this is a highly effective, highly intrusive and extraordinarily breathtakingly illegal form of manipulation that would put what happened in Watergate to shame.

00:27:53.360 So, yeah, this is this is really troubling.

00:27:56.320 We will get to the bottom of it.

00:27:59.240 And I hope that happens quickly.

00:28:01.580 Very, very troubling.

00:28:02.980 Yeah.

00:28:03.120 Last question.

00:28:06.680 States all over the country are considering now we've got about 23 states that are considering anti ESG laws.

00:28:14.420 Can you put the Great Reset into context for people on how important you think this is to what we're really facing?

00:28:24.620 Yeah, well, first of all, when people read your book on this very topic, they'll see some things that are coming that are very disturbing.

00:28:38.460 And it's it's one of the reasons why we ought to look not only at what happens within governments, but also what happens within corporate America that can change outcomes for society that can diminish choices for individual people.

00:28:55.080 And how do you book is a great how do you informed on that?

00:29:00.620 Thank you.

00:29:01.240 How do you address people who say conservatives who say this is the free market?

00:29:06.660 They can do whatever they want.

00:29:09.920 Yeah, well, well, literally true.

00:29:13.660 Well, it's not limited to that if if if this movement, if these things happening is part of the Great Beach said limited themselves to the free market.

00:29:26.040 That would be one thing.

00:29:27.120 But they don't.

00:29:28.980 They're working arm in arm, hand in hand across platforms, across nations and across governments and between governments and corporations.

00:29:39.260 And so all of these things have to be taken together.

00:29:44.840 And this isn't solely a corporate action.

00:29:48.000 So it's not fair to say this is just a free market because these folks aren't content to compete with that.

00:29:54.460 There's a we've got a great leader in Utah.

00:29:57.580 Our our state treasurer, Marlo Oaks, has been talking a lot about ESG and he's got a background in investing.

00:30:07.480 And he's pointed out what a very significant threat this is to liberty and the fact that if this is allowed to take hold, this is where you get this very unholy alliance between governments and corporations that can really do a lot of harm to economies, but especially to poor and middle class families in America.

00:30:29.360 I have to tell you, Mike, if you look at what happened yesterday with the Treasury up in Canada, it is the Great Reset without being the Great Reset.

00:30:39.540 It's just through emergency powers.

00:30:41.140 It's terrifying.

00:30:42.100 Really terrifying.

00:30:43.180 Thank you, Mike.

00:30:43.840 I appreciate it.

00:30:44.480 If you want to find out or help this guy, he is he and Rand Paul have the highest score for conservatives in the Senate out of all of them.

00:30:55.040 And he's way ahead of all of them.

00:30:58.500 You can help him stay and fight for the Constitution.

00:31:02.680 Lee for Senate dot com.

00:31:05.020 Lee for Senate dot com.

00:31:06.840 Thanks, Mike.

00:31:07.340 I appreciate it.

00:31:08.100 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:31:23.700 So I have a couple of people that I want to introduce.

00:31:27.060 Justin Haskins.

00:31:28.120 He is the co-author of the Great Reset.

00:31:30.440 He is also the editorial director of the Heartland Institute and editor in chief of stopping socialism dot com.

00:31:38.140 Hello, Justin.

00:31:38.780 How are you?

00:31:40.360 Oh, I'm doing so well, Glenn.

00:31:42.160 How are you?

00:31:43.060 You're doing so well.

00:31:44.220 Good.

00:31:44.580 You got a little touch of covid.

00:31:45.840 I hear.

00:31:47.200 Yeah, I don't get the full blown.

00:31:50.080 Yeah.

00:31:51.300 No, no, no.

00:31:52.280 You got to be Canadian to get that. 1.00

00:31:54.420 So, Justin, hold on a second, because I also have Michael Murphy on the phone.

00:31:58.640 He is a Kansas state representative from Kansas, and he has he's introduced a bill.

00:32:07.300 Inside the Kansas House, February 9th, and referred it to the Committee on Financial Institutions and Rural Development the same day.

00:32:16.920 And I think it's coming up for a vote soon.

00:32:19.960 Michael Murphy.

00:32:20.720 How are you, sir?

00:32:21.360 Well, I'm doing pretty good, Glenn.

00:32:24.520 And I do have to say that after listening to you the last couple of minutes, perhaps we need to get a prince on board to maybe pass through.

00:32:34.360 Maybe.

00:32:34.940 I'm sorry.

00:32:35.320 I missed that last part to maybe what?

00:32:37.580 We need a prince to push this bill on through.

00:32:42.820 Yeah.

00:32:43.460 Yeah.

00:32:43.900 Well, I don't think you want that particular prince.

00:32:47.680 So tell me what you tell me how you got on to this and what it took to get it to the place that it's at and what's it going to take to get it over the hump there in Kansas.

00:33:00.840 Well, I've been aware of what social credit score in China and ESGs for quite a while, probably due to you and a couple of others who brought it to attention months or maybe even years ago.

00:33:14.260 And I did happen to hear you interview with J.D. in New Hampshire a few weeks ago, and that sparked me to go ahead and do the bill.

00:33:27.380 I think it's a good bill, but I'll tell you what.

00:33:30.060 They are coming out of the woodwork against it from the banking side and some from the business side.

00:33:35.380 Well, yeah, and they don't like it at all.

00:33:39.400 And so we've got some really good support on one side.

00:33:43.080 We've got some strong up-deposition on the other.

00:33:45.200 So, yeah, I'm just hoping we can get the grassroots behind it.

00:33:51.340 We'll put some pressure.

00:33:52.440 Yeah.

00:33:54.100 They're trying to make this in.

00:33:55.920 They're pulling Republicans off of this by saying, you know, that it's a freedom of the market and the free market.

00:34:06.380 And, you know, we don't want to tell businesses what they can and can't do.

00:34:09.180 So Mike Lee was just on, and I just asked him about that argument, and you should go back and listen to it, because that's the argument a lot of Republicans are starting to make, and it's nonsense.

00:34:19.360 And I've read your bill, Section 1.

00:34:23.620 No bank or trust company doing business in this state, either directly or through the use of an outside contractor, shall discriminate against, advocate for, or cause-averse treatment of any individual business or other customer based on subjective or arbitrary standards, including, but not limited to, social media posts, participation or membership in any club, association, or union, political affiliation, employer, social credit score, environmental, social, or governance criteria.

00:34:53.620 And then you go on to say, this doesn't mean that you, I mean, if there's safety for the bank, because there's something else you can consider that, but you just can't do this.

00:35:07.840 And of course, you can, you can look at somebody's loan worthiness.

00:35:10.920 And then it says, you can offer ESG products, but you have to explain what they are, and then the penalties.

00:35:20.940 Then you do the same thing for credit unions, and what's the third one for, or is there only two?

00:35:27.020 Yeah, state credit unions.

00:35:28.940 Oh, and for businesses.

00:35:30.400 So you've covered them all, and it also says it doesn't change anything but this.

00:35:35.780 So what's the argument?

00:35:36.980 Well, the argument is from the bankers is they're afraid of frivolous lawsuits, as I said.

00:35:42.960 And, you know, I made the comment, I said, you're afraid of something that's unknown, while we are avoiding paying attention to something that's known, that's, you know, this big behemoth that's riding down on us.

00:35:56.380 And you're worried about the little guy with the, you know, with the rubber, bow and arrow behind the tree, you know?

00:36:02.000 Correct, correct.

00:36:03.780 I mean, you know, if I'm going to sue you, it'll be thrown out as a frivolous suit, unless you are using a social credit score, unless you are, you know, using environmental, social, or governance criteria, or you won't do business with me because I voted for Donald Trump.

00:36:19.600 That stuff we know is going to happen.

00:36:21.920 We know it's going to happen.

00:36:23.160 It already is.

00:36:25.080 Yes.

00:36:25.660 When does this come for a vote?

00:36:28.460 Sorry, go ahead.

00:36:29.180 It's not been set for a hearing in the finance committee.

00:36:32.980 They should set a date here, maybe today or tomorrow, and we'll take it from there.

00:36:38.780 I did tell them, we had a meeting with a number of bankers' representatives and representatives of the speaker yesterday, and they voiced their opposition and their, you know, their proponent side as well.

00:36:54.280 And I did tie it to them.

00:36:57.220 Most of them are familiar with the CRT stuff.

00:37:00.500 I did tell them, we were lucky enough to have Tim Lindsay here a week ago, and he tied a good job of tying the two together, and that's when I picked up about 12 more Coast Busters.

00:37:11.940 Yeah.

00:37:12.220 So anyway, that helped a lot.

00:37:15.040 And then once we, so anyway, I told them, I said, these two things are both, you know, gears in a machine, and if we can take a couple of them out, we can at least slow the machine down.

00:37:26.760 And I told them, I said, I hope that you don't look back on this day and say, oh, we're going to stop this, and now it's too late.

00:37:34.480 And so, so what do you need, what do you need people in Kansas to do?

00:37:40.640 I need them to contact the chair of the finance institution, financial institutions, Representative Jim Kelly, the House majority, the House Speaker, and your individual representative.

00:37:54.820 If you live in Kansas, send in your own words what you would like to happen, and tell them it's important that this gets through, and they get a saying, I can give you the, I can give you the email for Jim Kelly if you'd like.

00:38:12.480 Yeah, sure, quickly.

00:38:13.840 It's, by the way, it's House Bill 2664.

00:38:17.140 It's the anti-ESG bill.

00:38:20.260 That's correct.

00:38:20.800 And it would be jim.kelly, that's K-E-L-L-Y, at house.ks.gov, G-O-V.

00:38:34.620 Okay.

00:38:35.240 Thank you very much.

00:38:36.560 And also the speaker would be good, too.

00:38:39.480 And I'm getting a lot of good response, and I think pressure from the grassroots might push this forward.

00:38:47.300 I appreciate it.

00:38:48.440 I think you're going to be surprised at the grassroots on this one.

00:38:51.620 Thank you very much, Michael.

00:38:53.000 I appreciate it.

00:38:53.880 Let me go back to Justin.

00:38:55.440 Justin, you have been one of the guys who have been working with these legislatures.

00:39:01.820 You have another one in New Hampshire.

00:39:06.480 They're going to vote on it either today or tomorrow.

00:39:09.080 How's that going?

00:39:11.300 Right.

00:39:11.700 Well, as we're seeing in many places across the country that are working on this issue, and there are about 20 states doing something on an anti-ESG bill, the biggest opposition we're seeing is coming because all of these bills are being proposed in states where Republicans have most of the political power, if not all of it.

00:39:30.780 What we're seeing is that it's the biggest opposition is coming from Republicans, and the Republicans who are arguing against it.

00:39:38.400 It's not a majority of them.

00:39:39.440 It's usually just a small group of them.

00:39:41.820 But they're saying this is a free market issue, and you just need to let banks and financial institutions and all these people discriminate against individuals and other businesses as they see fit because that's their argument.

00:39:54.440 If it was a bank, great, but it's all of the banks coordinating with the government and big business on an agenda that doesn't, I mean, by their own words, they say it's not based on profit.

00:40:12.620 It is based on environmental standards, social standards, on making the world a better place.

00:40:20.440 Well, that's not the free market, man.

00:40:22.080 That's not the job of the bank.

00:40:23.380 That's not the job of Nabisco.

00:40:27.120 No, that's exactly right.

00:40:29.280 These are massive, often multinational corporations that have no allegiance to the United States at all in many cases, that have massive amounts of their ownership is overseas.

00:40:40.860 They don't have any allegiance to the Constitution.

00:40:43.580 They have special legal and tax advantages that the rest of us don't have.

00:40:47.460 They regularly receive bailouts and government funding that regular people don't get.

00:40:52.460 They work hand in hand with government.

00:40:54.280 Many of them have lucrative government contracts.

00:40:57.140 They get trillions and trillions of dollars have been pumped into the financial system through the Federal Reserve over the past 10 years.

00:41:03.680 It's the only reason this system is able to exist because they're all going to get rich no matter what they do with ESG scores.

00:41:09.360 So the idea that this is some sort of a free market system is the most ludicrous thing imaginable.

00:41:16.220 There's nothing free market about this at all.

00:41:18.580 Listen to this.

00:41:21.400 This came in from Alex Wong.

00:41:24.880 He's a reporter, and he's been watching this.

00:41:28.520 He said, in his Build Back Better legislation, President Joe Biden wanted to spend $570 billion over the next decade on green causes, mostly focused on climate change.

00:41:39.560 Fortunately, that bill seems to be dead, and yet now the Biden Greens, that's to say the Green administration, have their eye on a bigger pot of money with which to pursue their climate agenda, the assets of American banks.

00:41:53.380 These assets total nearly $23 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve.

00:41:59.680 A crucial vote on whether or not this sneaky policy will proceed will be held, I think today, when the Senate Banking Committee votes on whether to advance Biden's Federal Reserve nominees, particularly the nomination of Sarah Bloom Raskin.

00:42:14.580 The Federal Reserve system, the Fed, as it's called, is the principal body that oversees and regulates banking in the U.S.

00:42:21.700 After the failure of Build Back Better, the Fed is Biden's preferred mechanism for advancing his version of the Green New Deal.

00:42:30.260 After all, the Fed has vast power over the banks, including whether or not they can lend money to or otherwise finance fossil fuel companies.

00:42:38.320 From the Biden point of view, this seems like a clever strategy.

00:42:42.180 It has been said of the banks, that's where the money is.

00:42:45.380 Biden wants to gain control of the Federal Reserve's seven-member board of governors.

00:42:50.060 Of these seven slots, three are currently vacant.

00:42:54.120 On January 14th, the White House named three candidates to fill those slots, all of whom are friendly to the Green scheme and to the Great Reset.

00:43:02.380 If the trio is confirmed by the Senate, they will join a fourth Democrat already on the board, and the left will have gained control of the Fed.

00:43:11.080 What do you think of that?

00:43:12.100 I think that this is absolutely the path forward for them.

00:43:17.420 And we don't have to guess.

00:43:19.260 We don't need speculation.

00:43:20.760 They've been very open that this is what's going on.

00:43:23.380 When they had that meeting in Glasgow recently for COP26, they announced, and this was backed by Joe Biden.

00:43:31.160 It's got lots of support from the Biden administration.

00:43:33.380 John Kerry was openly in favor of it.

00:43:35.000 The Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero.

00:43:37.600 You just mentioned 20-something trillion dollars in the United States tied up in banks.

00:43:41.940 Well, the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero has more than 450 banks, insurers, and asset managers in dozens of countries around the world with total assets pledged toward enacting this whole Great Reset ESG scheme of $130 trillion.

00:43:59.660 So the idea that this is just something that the little guy can – well, you know, if your local bank's discriminating against you, just go to a different bank.

00:44:08.960 Oh, if a local corporation is discriminating, you just go to a – just buy from a different corporation.

00:44:13.340 They're all going to be in on it.

00:44:15.120 They're not going to have any choice.

00:44:17.260 And the people who resist are going to be pushed out.

00:44:20.500 They're already being pushed out by massive asset managers on Wall Street, BlackRock, and State Street Global Advisors and others.

00:44:27.760 So you will have to go along with this.

00:44:31.060 I want to play Canada's Minister of Finance yesterday during the Trudeau press conference on emergency powers.

00:44:40.100 Listen carefully to what she says here.

00:44:42.500 First, we are broadening the scope of Canada's anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules so that they cover crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use.

00:44:56.840 These changes cover all forms of transactions, including digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies.

00:45:06.420 The illegal blockades have highlighted the fact that crowdfunding platforms and some of the payment service providers they use are not fully captured under the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act.

00:45:21.340 Okay, stop.

00:45:23.360 Everybody is focusing on – you're saying that these guys are terrorists?

00:45:27.180 The truckers are terrorists?

00:45:28.880 No, it goes farther than that.

00:45:30.640 You are funding a terrorist organization.

00:45:34.600 So by default, you also are involved in terrorism.

00:45:39.040 But even beyond that, this is aimed at, you know, give, send, go, because the other crowdfunding source decided this is too dangerous.

00:45:54.520 They're not going to do it because they just don't like these truckers.

00:45:57.680 They're terrorists, you know.

00:45:59.340 So they pulled out and tried to hold the money.

00:46:02.300 So give, send, go, came up and they said, we'll do it.

00:46:06.460 This is not just aimed at them.

00:46:09.680 Give, send, go requires some sort of mechanism, another party to take your credit card and process from your bank into give, send, go.

00:46:23.420 They're attacking anyone like they will with the blaze when they come, and they will, come to shut down the blaze.

00:46:32.180 They will say, you know what, the blaze can do whatever they want.

00:46:35.780 Of course, if you are somebody who is a payment processor, I wouldn't be involved in that.

00:46:43.760 And that cuts off all of our funding.

00:46:46.760 That cuts off our banking, our ability to reach out to you and ask you for your credit card number so you can be a monthly subscriber.

00:46:55.940 That's what's coming, gang.

00:46:57.760 And they're doing it right now just under the auspices of the truckers and this emergency, you know, dangerous terrorist activity.

00:47:08.360 Do I have this right or wrong, Justin?

00:47:11.840 No, you're 100% right.

00:47:13.520 This is actually not really about truckers.

00:47:16.380 This is not even really about just what's going on in Canada.

00:47:19.720 This is about resistance at any level, anywhere in the world.

00:47:25.600 You're not allowed to resist.

00:47:27.460 We're going to close all the off ramps.

00:47:29.440 That's what this is fundamentally about.

00:47:33.460 I would get your money out of those big banks, quite honestly, and I would put it in a local credit union or a very, very, very locally owned bank.

00:47:42.980 Something that keeps all of their money and doesn't have ties to anybody else.

00:47:47.940 But it's time to protect yourself.

00:47:52.000 The hordes are at the gate.

00:47:54.820 Na na na na na na na na.

00:47:57.400 No na na na na.

00:47:58.240 No na na na na.

00:47:58.720 No na na na na na na

00:47:58.740 Yeah, no na na na na na.

00:48:01.600 No na na na na na na na na.

00:48:02.600 No na na na.
