00:00:00.320 Howdy everybody, it's a big day here at the Radio Ranch.
00:00:04.380 We got the singing cowboys coming up and a whole lot more.
00:00:08.560 Brought to you by Jace, home of the Jace Case.
00:00:13.080 Now you've heard me talk a lot here on the ranch about the use of Jace Case from Jace Medical.
00:00:19.360 Oh, they don't have anything for snake bites yet, but I hope they do.
00:00:24.220 The Jace Case holds five of the most important antibiotics.
00:00:28.320 It's not just biotics, it's antibiotics for emergency use.
00:00:33.660 Now I heard one of them guys talking on the radio on this their podcast,
00:00:37.940 and he was saying that antibiotics, the shortage is getting even worse than it was.
00:00:44.020 Well now you can get all those antibiotics.
00:00:47.800 I don't know about the biotics, but the anti ones you can get for a 12 month backup supply
00:00:54.460 of your prescription medication in case of an emergency.
00:00:58.320 Plus, you can get a whole bunch of other medications, like cholesterol, diabetes, heart health,
00:01:06.520 blood pressure, mental health, and so much more.
00:01:10.640 I like these Jace Case people.
00:01:13.400 Why don't you check them out at jacemedical.com.

00:01:34.640 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:38.700 The book Dark Future is out today.
00:01:45.580 You can find it at glennsnewbook.com.
00:01:47.900 That's glennsnewbook.com.
00:01:49.640 Order it and make sure a hard copy is sent to you.
00:01:55.480 It is a look at what is being designed for you.
00:02:00.400 The first book went into ESG.
00:02:03.280 Most people don't know what ESG is.
00:02:05.920 It is a system very much like the Chinese system of social credits.
00:02:12.260 When you have enough social credits, you can do whatever it is you want to do.
00:02:16.040 If you don't have enough social credits, well, you can't do really anything that the state tells you you can't do.
00:02:22.280 I want to show you how insidious this is.
00:02:25.820 UNESCO put out a brochure and they are working with your local community.
00:02:34.880 You have to get involved in your local community.
00:02:38.940 UNESCO puts out this thing on how things are going to be somewhere in 2030.
00:02:46.040 Now, this is their view for 2030.
00:02:50.620 Tell me this is the idea of America.
00:02:55.200 His boss says it works well.
00:02:59.080 Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:02:59.960 Let me see if I have to start right.
00:03:02.180 He's really out of luck.
00:03:03.320 Here it is.
00:03:03.980 Jay is just one of the thousands of families of migrants forced into exile by wars, famines, and global warming.
00:03:11.860 The couple and their two children are extremely fortunate because this is an open country and a welcoming city.
00:03:19.780 After weeks of difficulties out on the street, an NGO provided them with a new identity document and secured it by blockchain registration, which allows them now to receive aid.
00:03:32.500 They also found somewhere to stay at the HOMED.
00:03:36.240 Everyone calls it the Hive.
00:03:38.040 Scaffolding and stairs were added to a huge windowless wall on which humanitarian organizations hung prefabricated housing units, 3D printing.
00:03:50.060 But Jay doesn't know what that is.
00:03:52.540 It may be small, but it still beats sleeping out on the street.
00:03:56.720 Kay still lives with her family in the slums where she was born.
00:04:00.080 On the surrounding wasteland, she can see signs of a new city being built.
00:04:05.080 The advertising posters call it a smart city with beautiful images showing a dream life.
00:04:12.560 A local counselor came to talk to them about replacing the slums with this sort of modern habitat and even said that some slum population would be housed there.
00:04:23.300 But the dream really seems remote.
00:04:25.780 In the immediate future, the young woman and her partner are mainly interested in improving their lives and those of their neighbors in their local environment by joining volunteer organizations, NGOs.
00:04:39.760 Her partner, not her husband, her partner has just participated in a geo-addressing operation with volunteer organizations.
00:04:51.600 Volunteers registered the GPS coordinates of each housing unit of small shops, of the dispensary, of the water fountains, and the collective bins, the nurses, and the neighborhood advisors.
00:05:05.840 Now everyone has a map and a small directory with all of these addresses.
00:05:11.800 The lucky ones will have direct access with their smartphones, while others still need to ask one of their more fortunate neighbors.
00:05:19.640 Last year, she helped organize a collective waste collection project, as rubbish is a major problem here.
00:05:27.320 First, volunteers were needed to collect waste using a bicycle and a trailer, and then the neighbors needed to be convinced to take their bags of refuge to the collectors.
00:05:38.740 The project became successful when the public authorities, who hadn't organized the waste collection themselves in the first place, paid a subsidy.
00:05:49.480 Half to pay the collectors who did the real job, and half to reward the local population with gift vouchers.
00:05:57.320 They met three years ago when they were both on the team of volunteers tasked with showing the local population how to use M-PESA, an electronic wallet system for low-income households without bank accounts.
00:06:10.640 They use it on their mobile phones.
00:06:12.760 She'll soon be a member of the delegation, having a roundtable with city officials to listen and discuss improvements.
00:06:20.680 He's somewhat skeptical.
00:06:22.800 His view is that up to now, the appointment, this doesn't make any sense, sends her a taxi drone.
00:06:34.560 At this point, the service is only used for the type needed to avoid traffic jams.
00:06:39.060 M is a community activist who is determined to combat everything he refers to as Big Brother.
00:06:45.000 He believes, in the long run, the installation of cameras and sensors in the city, facial recognition software, and all forms of biometric identity,
00:06:54.400 also the work of robots who read his emails and social network posts, are a threat to privacy of individuals and to the freedom of social life.
00:07:03.540 His view is that services provided, even when they're free, neither compensate nor justify being spied on.
00:07:10.780 Well, the N family has always believed in clean forms of transport, and the last time they moved, they compared neighborhoods using their cyclable and walkable note. 1.00
00:07:22.640 That's an index that measures how convenient walking and cycling is, sometimes referred to as the 15-minute city.
00:07:31.340 Oh my gosh, does this sound like a dream?
00:07:33.540 We have not been given these citizens names, because we could find almost all of them on any continent, in megacities,
00:07:41.880 which have made the transition towards smaller cities to a greater or lesser degree.
00:07:46.960 But they could be our children in 2030.
00:07:49.540 Their traditions, cultures, religions, sure, are different.
00:07:52.760 But these citizens share increasingly globalized lifestyles, those of smart cities.
00:07:59.120 Stu, I don't know about you, but that sounds great.
00:08:04.140 I mean, I could volunteer to pick up trash if I wanted to.
00:08:09.100 And maybe the government would give me a gift certificate, right?
00:08:13.500 Wow.
00:08:13.600 We get U.S. bucks that are only available to spend in certain stores, maybe programmable digital currency?
00:08:20.960 Oh, we could get it.
00:08:22.880 Get it.
00:08:23.900 Yes.
00:08:25.220 Yes.
00:08:26.360 Sounds great.
00:08:27.340 Now, I also like the fact that you can only use a car occasionally if it's really important,
00:08:32.960 because everything else you have to walk.
00:08:35.480 And there's nothing I love more.
00:08:36.860 Sure, my grocery store is 15 minutes from my house,
00:08:39.440 and I have to climb up scaffolding, apparently, to get to my little pod.
00:08:45.620 But I don't mind carrying those groceries around town.
00:08:49.760 Do you?
00:08:50.640 No.
00:08:51.520 Oh, no.
00:08:52.460 This sounds like a dream come true.
00:08:53.960 Imagine the exercise you'd get carrying them around.
00:08:56.840 Exactly.
00:08:57.660 It's all about health.
00:08:59.580 Exactly right.
00:09:00.880 Now, a lot of people, your friends, will tell you this is crazy.
00:09:04.620 And that's okay.
00:09:06.040 Don't waste your time on people who are just not willing to ask honest questions.
00:09:12.140 And you have to have the honest answers.
00:09:14.140 Somebody who asks you an honest question is someone who will change if you can prove it
00:09:24.000 to them.
00:09:26.120 Nobody's asking those anymore.
00:09:27.760 And that's our biggest problem in America.
00:09:30.060 Nobody is asking an honest question.
00:09:32.460 They want to win.
00:09:33.840 They want to show that you're a dummy.
00:09:35.740 You're a conspiracy theorist.
00:09:37.180 Or on the other side, you're just a Marxist socialist that has to die.
00:09:42.080 Okay?
00:09:44.380 I really want to know what the truth is.
00:09:47.000 And I don't want this to be the truth.
00:09:49.580 But our government and the governments of the world and the media of the entire world, they
00:09:59.580 are not telling you the things that are going on.
00:10:02.480 Do you know that 37% of Americans currently report on being very or somewhat familiar with ESG?
00:10:14.180 That's not good.
00:10:16.960 36% unchanged from the 37% last year, 36%.
00:10:23.620 Another 22% are not that familiar.
00:10:27.560 And 40% are not familiar at all.
00:10:30.100 I saw a poll that was done by Gallup.
00:10:36.980 And this is what they were describing ESG as.
00:10:45.680 ESG includes factors like the record of a business on human rights, the environment, and diversity,
00:10:51.940 or other social values.
00:10:53.860 And some people take these factors into account when making decisions about buying products
00:10:58.540 and services for investing.
00:11:02.560 Really?
00:11:03.180 Because that...
00:11:04.080 No, that's...
00:11:05.280 Mm-mm.
00:11:05.860 That's not what ESG is.
00:11:08.160 Would you say that is what ESG is?
00:11:11.000 That's what they'd like you to believe it is.
00:11:14.480 That is exactly what...
00:11:15.520 ESG.
00:11:15.840 They hope you don't believe...
00:11:16.760 Go ahead.
00:11:17.200 They hope you don't believe anything about it, right?
00:11:18.960 They hope you don't know what it is at all.
00:11:21.020 Correct.
00:11:21.220 I can't tell you how many reports I've heard of like...
00:11:23.440 Well, if you're talking about three-letter acronyms, you're losing.
00:11:27.240 And that's why it's not...
00:11:29.720 No candidates should be discussing this.
00:11:32.100 Though we have seen the ones that do discuss it seem to make real inroads.
00:11:37.260 They seem to be making a big difference and moving the race a little bit. 0.63
00:11:41.440 So I don't know.
00:11:42.140 I mean...
00:11:42.320 Wow, but they're still losers.
00:11:44.300 They're still losers, you know.
00:11:45.900 Hey, by the way, on Friday, we're covering the Family Leadership Summit.
00:11:54.920 We are going to be covering the first presidential forum of the 2024 primaries.
00:12:01.580 I got news last night.
00:12:03.140 I don't even know if this is true, that Donald Trump may not show up.
00:12:07.440 We hope he does.
00:12:09.320 It's not our event.
00:12:10.820 So I know he was invited.
00:12:12.740 If he wasn't invited and wasn't really thinking about coming, I don't know if I would have
00:12:17.380 agreed to host the coverage because we got to have all of them there.
00:12:21.700 I want to see how Donald Trump handles the same questions that everybody else is going
00:12:27.320 to be handling.
00:12:29.400 But we hope, if you're a fan of his, encourage him to go to the Family Leadership Summit.
00:12:34.480 I think he said yesterday that he had something that he just couldn't get out of.
00:12:38.400 But I really hope that he shows up.
00:12:41.760 Anyway, we have that all day Friday.
00:12:45.020 And you'll see all of the candidates, I think, except for Trump.
00:12:50.460 I don't think we're leaving any of the 400 out, are they?
00:12:53.140 And Tucker Carlson is going to be interviewing them.
00:12:58.620 You'll be able to see this on YouTube.
00:13:01.060 But we also have an exclusive interview with Tucker Carlson.
00:13:06.300 I'm going to be talking to Tucker for about an hour after this is all over.
00:13:12.180 I'm going to be joining him on stage for an exclusive interview.
00:13:16.980 And that is only for Blaze TV subscribers.
00:13:19.280 And you don't want to miss this.
00:13:20.820 Go head on over to blazetv.com slash Glenn blazetv.com slash Glenn.
00:13:26.140 Use the promo code will not be censored and get $30 off the annual subscription.
00:13:31.320 That happens on Friday.
00:13:32.940 And you'll be able to see all of our coverage except for the exclusive interview.
00:13:36.860 You'll be able to see all of the coverage that you'll need on YouTube.
00:13:42.780 And we'll give you more information on that as we go.
00:13:48.560 The problem with the media and everyone else, and I think people are waking up to this.
00:13:58.220 I think they are waking up all around the world to the problems that have been made by the giant institutions and the politicians, the parties, and these global corporations in league with things like the World Economic Forum.
00:14:18.420 And when you have enough evidence that this is a bad idea, you better move quickly if you are those global entities.
00:14:34.820 You better get us roped in so there's no way out.
00:14:39.180 Right now, there is a way out.
00:14:42.280 Right now, you can do something about it.
00:14:44.980 But the first thing you have to do is educate yourself and others.
00:14:50.240 Dark Future picks it up where the Great Reset leaves off.
00:14:56.740 This shows you now the next phase, and we're in it right now.
00:15:02.100 So much of this is reading like a newspaper.
00:15:05.360 We laid this to rest, I think, for print, I don't even know, back in December.
00:15:09.720 And so, you know, we were thinking, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, is this even going to be relevant?
00:15:16.440 Because things are happening so fast.
00:15:17.920 It's all happening right now.
00:15:20.700 And it is really important for you to share it with a friend.
00:15:24.460 You're going to be able to get the audio version soon that's coming out soon.
00:15:31.460 The paper version is available for right now.
00:15:34.220 Just go to glensnewbook.com.
00:15:36.260 That's glensnewbook.com.
00:15:38.520 Get it today.
00:15:39.380 It is available today.
00:15:43.720 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:15:48.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:15:50.320 Out today.
00:15:52.180 My new book called Dark Future.
00:15:55.560 You can get it wherever books are sold today.
00:15:58.360 It is out, and it is extremely important.
00:16:02.660 It is the follow-up of The Great Reset, and it will show you the technology that the Great Resetters will use to be able to shape a new society.
00:16:13.260 Justin Haskins is my co-author, and he joins me today.
00:16:17.120 I want to read something that Yuval Harari has said.
00:16:21.580 Now, he is a futurist, and what is he, a sociologist?
00:16:27.380 What are his credentials?
00:16:29.120 Do you know?
00:16:29.460 Oh, I don't know.
00:16:30.000 He's an academic, for sure.
00:16:31.940 Philosopher.
00:16:32.880 Right.
00:16:33.600 He's a philosopher.
00:16:34.300 And he's unfortunately right about an awful lot of things, but we're talking about how the algorithms now are going to have to be tweaked by humans to make sure that there isn't some unseen consequence that might hurt gays, blacks, whatever.
00:16:51.600 He said,
00:17:21.600 Jewish or gay, but because you are you. 0.94
00:17:25.600 The worst thing is, it will be true.
00:17:28.340 It took centuries, even thousands of years, for us to reap the rewards of decisions made by our forebears, for example.
00:17:37.900 Growing wheat that led to the agricultural revolution, but not anymore.
00:17:43.180 Time is accelerating.
00:17:44.700 The long term may no longer be defined in centuries or millenniums, but in the terms of 20 years.
00:17:51.440 This is the first time in history we have no idea how human society will be, or if it will be, in a couple of decades.
00:18:01.960 Stealing, for example, has become so complicated in today's world.
00:18:07.200 Back in biblical times, Mr. Harari said.
00:18:09.720 This is in the New York Times.
00:18:11.680 If you were stealing, you were aware of your actions and their consequences on your victim.
00:18:16.760 But theft today could entail investing, even unwittingly, in a very profitable but unethical corporation that damages the environment and employs an army of lawyers and lobbyists to protect itself from law suits and regulations.
00:18:32.720 Am I stealing a river, asked Mr. Harari.
00:18:37.940 Even if I'm aware, I don't know how the corporation makes its money.
00:18:41.840 It'll take me months or even years to find out what my money is doing.
00:18:45.540 And during that time, I'll be guilty of so many crimes to which I would know nothing about.
00:18:52.340 The problem is, understanding the extremely complicated chains of cause and effect,
00:18:58.320 my fear is that homo sapiens are just not up to it.
00:19:02.720 We've created such a complicated world that we're no longer able to make sense of what is happening.
00:19:10.180 Wow.
00:19:11.680 Yeah.
00:19:11.960 So this you understand, in a very deep way, what ESG is.
00:19:17.660 You can't understand.
00:19:20.120 And even if you do understand, you can't balance it in your cute little head.
00:19:25.120 That's why you'll listen to the experts, the experts that have developed ESG and now the algorithms that will enforce it.
00:19:35.540 And you don't know how it is.
00:19:38.440 It is produced.
00:19:39.980 However, does it matter?
00:19:43.820 No, it actually works to the advantage of the the elite ruling class.
00:19:51.480 Yeah.
00:19:51.900 I mean, if you think about discrimination historically, the reason why you have discrimination is because it's really hard to stop the people when you're in charge of everything.
00:20:03.440 It's really hard to stop the people you don't like from doing the things that you don't want them to do.
00:20:07.520 So what you do is you make generalizations.
00:20:09.660 You say, well, generally speaking, you know, the problem is the Jews. 1.00
00:20:14.520 Like, that's what that's what they did in Nazi Germany.
00:20:16.860 That's the problem.
00:20:17.880 Generally speaking, maybe not every Jew.
00:20:19.840 We wouldn't have.
00:20:20.440 Right.
00:20:20.880 We wouldn't have all these problems with these Jews if we just didn't have all these Jews. 1.00
00:20:25.820 Right.
00:20:26.700 And so what is it?
00:20:28.200 So because they didn't know every single thought about every single person, they didn't know every single decision that everyone is making.
00:20:36.080 They have to make generalizations and then persecute whole groups of people.
00:20:39.640 That's how it works.
00:20:40.440 Right.
00:20:41.200 So then.
00:20:41.880 But now they can know every single thing about every single person.
00:20:46.200 They can they are collecting all of this data and building machines specifically for the purpose of processing that data so that they can know you better than you know yourself.
00:20:56.740 Another Yuval Harari quote we talk about in the book.
00:20:59.840 He says this, quote, new technologies could hijack democracy and even our sense of self.
00:21:08.280 Technology will be a new tool for discrimination, not against groups, but individuals.
00:21:14.460 So if you are out of I mean, if you are you, if you're listening to this program, if the if this falls into the hands of the the people who already it's in the hands of and it remains there, you are the target.
00:21:32.460 And if you happen to be on the other side of the argument, I just want you to know technology doesn't in revolutions don't usually end the way you think it does.
00:21:43.140 It usually ends with somebody else in charge, not you.
00:21:47.200 This could be used as a weapon against you.
00:21:50.020 And you are already committing all kinds of crimes if you look at climate crimes just on how you're investing.
00:21:59.160 Where do you buy your gas?
00:22:00.500 All of that stuff.
00:22:02.040 Yes, you're already guilty.
00:22:04.020 They've already made that determination.
00:22:05.440 And when they give you a school, the whole purpose of an ESG score is so that you know how guilty you are so that you can correct your behavior.
00:22:12.400 And if you don't correct your behavior, then they're going to punish you or they'll reward you if you do correct your behavior.
00:22:18.640 That's the choice that you make.
00:22:20.080 And a lot of people, I think, believe, well, I I'm not going to allow this to happen to me.
00:22:25.580 I'm not I'm you know, I have some technology in my life, but for the most part, I'm not going full bore and all these things.
00:22:31.740 What you have to understand is that the amount of data that is being collected on you, just the average, regular, everyday person already is enough for them to know virtually anything they want to know about you.
00:22:45.560 Just with a Facebook profile, they can do that.
00:22:48.600 They've actually done studies where they've shown that just with just Facebook's data alone, they know almost everything about you.
00:22:56.460 They know where you live.
00:22:57.620 They know who your friends are.
00:22:58.620 They know who you're married to.
00:22:59.500 They know whether you're gay, whether you're whether you're straight.
00:23:02.320 They know everything about you.
00:23:04.160 Just using Facebook data, they can come to these conclusions, reading your posts and doing other things.
00:23:09.120 Let me tell you something, a story that happened to me.
00:23:12.880 Stu, I think you were there right after September 11th, where you were you were working with me after September 11th, right?
00:23:19.700 Yeah.
00:23:20.580 Yes.
00:23:21.020 Yes, Glenn.
00:23:21.820 Yes, we were working together on September.
00:23:23.780 I can't even.
00:23:24.720 I don't know, because there were times where you're like, I don't know.
00:23:27.080 I'm I'm a little girl.
00:23:28.640 I'm flighty.
00:23:29.220 I might not work with you this week.
00:23:30.940 Anyway, I did have some some sleeper cell stuff I was working on at that time.
00:23:35.180 But yes, we were working together.
00:23:36.700 OK.
00:23:37.140 So the the 20th hijacker.
00:23:40.820 I don't know what you're talking about.
00:23:42.280 But after after September 11th, do you remember that that group that came in and was doing work with the Department of Homeland Security and they showed us technology?
00:23:53.500 They showed us technology to where they could target individuals and say, OK, this individual is a suspect, a terrorist suspect, and they could zero in on his home.
00:24:11.460 We could know whether he was home just by his water usage.
00:24:15.420 We knew everything about his friend network because of any data cell in his phones or anybody he called or reached out to.
00:24:26.520 So we could then if he decided to leave, we'd know immediately he hasn't been in the house in 24 hours.
00:24:34.380 Where is he?
00:24:35.100 And it would automatically go and check all the airlines, all the trains, all the rental cars.
00:24:41.400 And it would also check all of the houses of the people that we know he knew to see if their water usage went up by one person.
00:24:52.320 That was 2001.
00:24:55.860 Yeah.
00:24:56.240 Imagine there's there's no escape.
00:24:58.320 The time at the time it was basically to say, hey, like we're really getting good at catching terrorists.
00:25:03.480 And of course, at the time, it was a huge priority.
00:25:06.320 Obviously, it's still a priority, but the sensitivity for most people was about terrorism and not about privacy.
00:25:14.780 And now I know, Glenn, you've always been on that bandwagon of worrying about that and how it could spin out of control.
00:25:19.820 But at the time, this is something they were bragging about.
00:25:23.180 Yep.
00:25:23.520 I remember I was at General Motors 2002, Stu, and the premier radio networks had worked to get General Motors on for 20 years.
00:25:36.320 And everybody was doing General Motors.
00:25:39.320 And I like General Motors at the time.
00:25:42.280 And then they got into bed with the government.
00:25:46.340 And I wasn't concerned about the bailouts they were receiving.
00:25:50.820 I was concerned about technology that they had showed me in Detroit at their center.
00:25:57.000 I was watching the OnStar program, and it was a giant room.
00:26:01.980 And this is, you know, 2001 or 2005, maybe it was a giant room with a screen of the United States of America.
00:26:10.440 And it had lights on every car that was using OnStar in America.
00:26:16.860 And we were talking about how, you know, they could turn the engine off at this time.
00:26:22.540 They could unlock the doors.
00:26:24.380 Everybody knows that.
00:26:25.500 But they could also turn the engine off.
00:26:27.960 So if you were being pursued, and I said, boy, that's kind of dangerous.
00:26:32.980 Do you ever do that?
00:26:34.980 And they said, well, we've done it for some Amber Alert cases.
00:26:39.820 But we would never do further than that.
00:26:42.100 I can guarantee you now, every car company in the world will shut your car down if you are wanted or needed.
00:26:50.560 You don't need car chases anymore.
00:26:53.040 I think maybe they're just saving it for the feds to be able to do that, to not shock everybody into, oh, man, wait, what?
00:27:03.540 You can do anything right now.
00:27:05.420 Right. And this is, you know, you mentioned the stuff that happened after September 11th and some of the surveillance state stuff growing in the United States.
00:27:13.760 Now, concerning all of that is, and that is, that was very concerning.
00:27:17.860 The problem that we have now is that you still, you have the government increasing surveillance in all sorts of different ways, including with smart cities and other things.
00:27:27.200 Not even investigating criminals necessarily, just in general, surveilling people.
00:27:32.100 And then on top of it, you have a whole class, basically everybody in America almost, has voluntarily given all of their information and privacy over to five big tech companies, something like that.
00:27:46.680 And together, those five.
00:27:47.940 And they're all in bed.
00:27:48.400 And they're all in bed with government.
00:27:50.440 So there's literally like six organizations in the world that control almost all of the relevant data for the average American.
00:28:00.060 There's like six companies.
00:28:01.380 And they, if you include the government as a company, and they all are working together.
00:28:04.960 They're all working together to, and once they realized that they could do this and systematize it with ESG, they realized that they could control anything that they wanted in society.
00:28:16.960 And I think they were banking on the fact that no one would figure it out until it was too late.
00:28:22.160 And because they screwed up with the Great Reset using a crazy slogan that tipped us off to it, honestly.
00:28:28.960 And then after that, once we discovered what ESG really was, we've now moved into a new era of being able to push back against it.
00:28:37.360 But they had been building that infrastructure for decades, and nobody even realized that it was going on.
00:28:41.980 And you know what's crazy is the way the government got people to do this, you know, because the tech people, they were all libertarians.
00:28:50.840 They were all libertarians 20 years ago.
00:28:53.200 And they were like, I hate the government just as much as you do, blah, blah, blah.
00:28:56.700 But the way they got it to get them in is through global warming.
00:29:02.560 They were also global warming fanatics.
00:29:05.660 And when the government said, we'll do ESG through the banks, we'll do it through all of our powers, but we need your help to do it and enforce it.
00:29:15.580 They were all more than willing to jump in because it was good for the planet.
00:29:18.920 And I hope that they see now what they're actually in for.
00:29:23.420 This has nothing to do with global warming and has everything to do with control.

00:29:41.460 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:29:43.220 There is a guy who is on the periphery of news and has kind of pierced the bubble of what I'm looking at a couple of times.
00:29:53.800 And I honestly don't know.
00:29:56.600 I don't know what questions he wants to ask.
00:29:59.780 I just know that he keeps getting in trouble at the White House because he wants to ask questions.
00:30:07.400 He's from Africa.
00:30:09.780 They may be good questions.
00:30:11.480 I don't know because he's never been able to ask them.
00:30:15.580 And now this last week, they talked about taking away his credentials.
00:30:21.360 And if you remember when Trump did that with Acosta, because what was he doing?
00:30:27.340 Disrupting and trying to control the press room.
00:30:30.820 Well, that's what they're saying this guy does.
00:30:33.300 And he doesn't do it every day like Acosta did.
00:30:38.140 Well, everybody went crazy with Acosta.
00:30:40.960 But in this case, it looks like all the journalists are with the White House, which pisses me off.
00:30:47.300 So I wanted to get him on.
00:30:48.820 His name is Simon Ateba.
00:30:50.780 And he is with, I want to make sure I have this right, the North.
00:30:57.120 Oh, boy.
00:30:58.420 Simon, I screwed it up now.
00:31:00.020 You are with the North African News?
00:31:02.800 What are you with?
00:31:03.580 Today News Africa.
00:31:04.080 Today News Africa.
00:31:06.420 Sorry about that.
00:31:07.500 Yeah.
00:31:07.720 Yeah.
00:31:08.020 Okay.
00:31:08.500 So what regions do you cover?
00:31:11.640 You're covering the news for how much of Africa?
00:31:16.080 Yes.
00:31:16.640 First of all, thank you for having me on your show, Glenn.
00:31:20.160 Today News Africa focuses on U.S.-Africa relations.
00:31:23.880 So we don't actually pretend to cover every single thing that happens in Africa.
00:31:29.180 And we don't pretend to cover every single thing that happens in the U.S.
00:31:32.720 We focus on the intersection between the U.S. and Africa.
00:31:36.220 Just to give you an example, last December, President Biden received, hosted 50 African leaders in Washington, D.C.
00:31:43.940 Those are some of the things that we focus on.
00:31:46.720 Now, the first lady going to Africa, the vice president going to Africa, or every tie and interaction that has to do between, that has to do with Africa and the U.S.
00:31:58.700 That's what we focus on.
00:31:59.900 So, Simon, what are the questions that you want to ask that they won't let you ask?
00:32:09.180 So, many questions.
00:32:10.680 I know the guy from the Washington Post was asking me what's the question.
00:32:15.620 And, you know, my office actually told him the same thing.
00:32:19.760 When you are silenced for nine months, you don't have just one question.
00:32:24.960 It means when President Biden is hosting African leaders, you have a series of questions on everything.
00:32:31.780 National security, you know, right now, you know, for instance, that the president of Kenya is asking African to drop, to dump the U.S. dollars when it comes to trading between, you know, within Africa.
00:32:46.980 And you want to know what the U.S. reaction is.
00:32:50.820 You want to know about China.
00:32:53.120 Right now, China is expanding its influence in Africa, pushing out the U.S.
00:32:58.640 And, you know, almost 40 percent of all the rare mineral resources used by top U.S. companies come from Africa.
00:33:08.520 China is pushing the U.S. out.
00:33:11.000 Russia is expanding the influence.
00:33:12.820 Yet, the guy who covers U.S.-Africa relations is not allowed to ask a question in the White House.
00:33:20.580 Multiple questions, including some of the questions I can't disclose here.
00:33:25.280 But it's not just one question.
00:33:27.560 Question change with event and with what is going on.
00:33:32.220 So, the other question that I would have, if I were you, is, and let me just ask it of you, is Africa being exposed to food shortages because of the war with Russia and Ukraine?
00:33:49.540 So, it's not, it's not just because of the war with Russia and Ukraine.
00:33:56.620 If you go to the Horn of Africa, you know, for the past three years, they've been having a severe drought there.
00:34:03.420 Hundreds of thousands of people are starving, not because of the war between Russia and Ukraine, but because of drought today.
00:34:12.100 And also, the fact that people don't have the basic things that they need to farm.
00:34:19.040 And so, the war in Ukraine represents, to my estimation, maybe just 2% of the hunger in Africa.
00:34:26.860 Okay.
00:34:27.420 So, you tweeted something out last January that said,
00:34:32.340 I've been attacked by pirates on the Gulf of Guinea with an AK-47 to my head, kidnapped in Nigeria, dumped into the woods and left for dead,
00:34:41.040 arrested in Cameroon during investigation, and kept in a dark cell, now only to be sidelined at the White House.
00:34:48.840 I mean, that sounds like kind of a, I mean, where all of the problems, that's probably the best one you've had.
00:34:55.000 Yes, my life has been like a movie.
00:35:00.280 And, you know, like everyone else, when you live in a place where you can really be free,
00:35:06.680 when you come to the U.S., you want to protect the First Amendment,
00:35:10.020 because you know what it is like to live in a place where you can be arrested,
00:35:15.020 and you can be jailed, and you can be killed for writing something.
00:35:19.040 And I think most people who were born in the U.S. and who have never lived outside the U.S.,
00:35:24.960 don't really understand how, that the U.S. is still the most advanced and the most powerful country in the world
00:35:32.660 because of the freedoms that we enjoy here.
00:35:35.420 The only country that comes close was more than 2,500 years ago in Athens.
00:35:41.920 All the other people don't have that freedom.
00:35:44.600 And that's why I want to fight for freedom.
00:35:47.140 And all I'm asking her, the press secretary, to do is to understand that, you know, they are not, I'm not a subhuman.
00:35:54.520 I'm in the briefing room.
00:35:55.920 And from time to time, give me a question, especially when President Biden is hosting 50 African leaders
00:36:02.140 to try to strengthen ties between the U.S. and Africa.
00:36:05.380 I know I've seen them to call on me every day, but to leave me there for nine months when I have key questions to ask.
00:36:14.320 And you, you know, you send the Washington Post after me and to say, you know, the guy doesn't have a question.
00:36:22.060 You know, it's crazy.
00:36:24.380 So, Simon, the Washington Post coming after you is something despicable.
00:36:33.200 I've never seen it happen before where they gang up on the press person in defense of the big bad government.
00:36:43.800 I mean, I just, I don't understand that.
00:36:45.940 Have you been shocked by the reaction of your fellow press people?
00:36:51.640 Yeah, yes, I was shocked.
00:36:52.940 And, you know, it, I think it happens all the time.
00:36:57.100 The fact that people have to send questions in advance to the press secretary, even when President Biden is briefing, you know, the scandal a few months ago, a few weeks ago, where a journalist from the LA Times had to send questions and President Biden had her picture, the question she was going to ask and where she was even seated.
00:37:19.040 And so it's scandalous to have people who are supposed to hold the state accountable, crushing the little guy in the briefing room to save the state, to protect the state.
00:37:31.520 And the Washington Post did, you know, a really sad job.
00:37:36.780 And they sent me really foolish questions, asking me if I was seeking attention and if I want to be on TV and why is it important for them to call on me.
00:37:46.320 And the guy who sent those questions is, you know, he was really sad to see.
00:37:52.900 I could see it all over the face that he was trying to do a heat job on me.
00:37:56.700 And I've been shocked that people have allowed themselves to become tools of the state instead of holding those in power accountable.
00:38:09.120 Simon, did they try to take away your White House credentials?
00:38:13.780 Yes.
00:38:14.180 So on July 31st, if you read New York Post, Washington Post and different publications, they decided to change the rules of the to acquire a hard pass.
00:38:26.700 And so on July 31st, my hard pass will expire.
00:38:30.480 And one of the rules that they added is you need to be credentialed by the Senate gallery, press gallery.
00:38:40.520 And somehow it's been more than a month now.
00:38:45.820 I've been waiting on them to approve my application, but they've not done that.
00:38:51.840 And without that, I wouldn't be able to renew my hard pass in the White House.
00:38:57.360 So I wouldn't have access to the press briefing.
00:39:00.260 So wait a minute.
00:39:02.720 This is a new rule where you have to get the Senate to approve your pass for the White House?
00:39:10.800 Yes.
00:39:14.300 Well, that seems ridiculous.
00:39:15.860 Stu, have you ever heard of that?
00:39:17.440 No, that's amazing.
00:39:18.380 Well, we have a couple of Senate friends.
00:39:23.140 We'll pass on the information to them and see if they can't help you with that.
00:39:29.840 That seems pretty ridiculous.
00:39:32.540 And that expires then at the end of the month.
00:39:35.880 Yes, on July 31st, the last day of the month.
00:39:40.480 And who is that in the hands of?
00:39:42.380 Is that just a Democratic committee or is that a Republican and Democrat committee?
00:39:47.340 Okay, so they have an office there and most of the people who approve your application, I think they are fellow journalists.
00:39:55.420 And most of them are left-leaning journalists.
00:39:58.080 So if the White House tells them not to approve your application, they may not likely approve it.
00:40:05.100 Oh, boy.
00:40:05.460 I don't know if there is some coordination.
00:40:08.540 And, you know, all they are trying to do is just to make sure we do our job, ask key questions, and focus on U.S.-Africa relations as China and Russia expand their influence.
00:40:20.240 They should actually be assisting us and encouraging us instead of trying to sideline us and sideline us in particular.
00:40:27.320 Simon, I have to ask you, just because I asked this of anybody that's in and around the White House, was that your cocaine that they found?
00:40:40.160 I just needed to know.
00:40:42.480 Oh, my God.
00:40:43.740 No, you wasn't.
00:40:44.640 It could be anybody.
00:40:46.060 It wasn't.
00:40:46.620 You know, the person who brought that cocaine was likely someone who was protected by the Secret Service.
00:40:55.860 As you know, everyone who comes to the White House, the visitors who come on tour, you know, they have to empty their bags.
00:41:05.220 And where they found it, you know, it went from the library to the West Wing and to the Situation Room.
00:41:11.780 And so, and the person who had it is someone who came through the White House through the executive entrance.
00:41:18.920 And those people are now usually searched by the Secret Service because they are protected by the Secret Service.
00:41:26.180 Well, as I've always said, it was probably Colonel Mustard in the library with the broomstick or something like that.
00:41:32.920 Simon, thank you so much.
00:41:34.280 I really appreciate it.
00:41:36.200 And if we can help you, please let us know.
00:41:40.180 We'll shoot a couple of calls into senators.
00:41:42.480 But if it's the press, they like us less than they like you.
00:41:46.660 So it probably won't help.
00:41:49.080 Thank you.
00:41:49.700 Simon, thank you so much.
00:41:51.340 God bless you.
00:41:53.320 You too.
