Glenn Beck is back on the airwaves talking about inflation, gun control, and why you should be feeding your dog crackers. Glenn Beck is a conservative radio host and host of the radio show "The Glenn Beck Show" on SiriusXM Radio. He is a frequent contributor to the New York Times, CNN, CBS Radio and other media outlets.
00:05:04.980You know, Republicans are not willing to support everything that I support, like banning assault weapons.
00:05:10.660Murphy told CBS's Face the Nation last Sunday.
00:05:13.780But I really think that we could pass something that saves lives and breaks this log jam that we've had for 30 years, proving to Republicans that if you vote to tighten the nation's gun laws, the sky doesn't fall for you politically.
00:07:11.140So let me, let me talk a little bit about grooming joy.
00:07:15.920Uh, the number of men and women under 30 who reported exclusively heterosexual partners has dropped now from 96% in the 1990s to 92% in 2021.
00:07:30.160That's according to the center for the center for the study of partisanship and ideology.
00:07:36.120However, most surveys indicate that the number of Americans under 30 who identify as LGBT is around 20%.
00:07:48.540The majority of the majority of the increase in LGBT identity can be traced to how those who only engage in heterosexual behavior described themselves.
00:09:47.660An arrest warrant has been filed for 28-year-old former Oklahoma middle school teacher, Ivy Renault.
00:09:55.940Oh, she's accused of allegedly sending nude pictures to a 16-year-old student.
00:10:01.320If convicted, she faces felony charges for using technology to engage in communication for sexual or purian interest with a minor.
00:10:11.480She's also the assistant soccer coach and has said to make the move after meeting the student at practice and overhearing rumors that he liked her.
00:10:20.860Somebody hasn't moved on from grade school.
00:10:24.860By the way, the BBC has altered now the alleged rape victim's quote to avoid misgendering her trans-biological male attacker.
00:10:37.860The paper reported that BBC diversity team made the unethical and disrespectful decision
00:11:06.660to change a rape's victim quotes about a lesbian woman who feel pressure to have sex and relationships with a biological man
00:11:17.000who identifies as a transgender woman.
00:11:21.300In the article, one lesbian victim recounted her experiences with the transgender woman
00:11:28.460who physically forced her to have sex with him after a date and allegedly threatened to ostracize her
00:13:34.220Oh, by the way, other kind of grooming is happening with our kids.
00:13:37.800School children are used to eating hot dinners, such as fish and chips, spaghetti, and lasagna.
00:13:45.420But children at four primary schools in Wales are set to take part in workshops organized by scientists and teachers to inform them about the benefits of eating alternative protein, i.e. bugs.
00:14:03.820These will include plant-based foods and may involve edible insects, depending on whether they received the Novel Foods approval by the Food Standards Agency.
00:14:16.940These will be in the form of conventional mints, which combine plant-based and alternative protein.
00:14:24.440So they are now experimenting with our children and trying to show them how great it is to eat frickin' bugs.
00:14:34.080Meanwhile, in Illinois, school leadership previewed plans for eliminating zeros from the grade book and instead encourage and reward growth over time.
00:14:54.320High school in a Chicago suburb is going away and getting rid of punishing students for not turning in homework on time or failing to participate in class on the basis of upholding political values and racial equity.
00:15:12.980According to West Cook News, the administration at Oak Park and River Forest High School in Illinois is planning this radical overhaul for the upcoming school year.
00:15:24.660Students will reportedly no longer be punished for missing classes or failing to turn in homework because it impacts black students more.
00:15:33.660I would not show up or do any homework at this school.
00:15:57.320The stated end goal of the plan is to have equitable assessment and grading practices implemented throughout all school courses by autumn 2023.
00:16:08.420Many teachers are successfully exploring and implementing more equitable grading practices, such as utilizing aspects of competency-based grading, eliminating zeros from the grade book, and encouraging and rewarding growth over time.
00:16:24.440The school said the teachers will make grading improvements that reflect our core beliefs.
00:16:32.360So what they're doing, a teacher may unintentionally let non-academic factors like student behavior or whether a student showed up to a virtual class or anything like that will interfere with their final evaluation of schools.
00:16:46.540Showing up to class is a non-academic behavior?
00:16:52.040Oh, I thought you're supposed to show up to class throughout school, like the entire time.
00:16:57.680But that was just, I was doing that because I had made personal choices to go.
00:17:02.660Chicago schools have now had segregated field trips in a year that was the battleground for teachers unions making demands about how and when school systems return to in-person learning.
00:17:14.020So they've got this great thing that you're going to be graded on a curve based on your race.
00:17:24.220So if you are white, your curve, you get a lower grade.
00:17:30.460And if you're black or Hispanic, definitely not Asian, you get a higher grade.
00:17:47.800America, you have to wake up soon on who the racist is, who is just lowering standards so they can have just a bunch of slaves that can't read or write or think.
00:20:02.480You know, my grandfather taught me in the Depression, if we would have only known what the rich were doing, we would have done it, and we would have survived.
00:20:13.200And if we had money going into the Depression, it was easier to survive.
00:20:22.520I spent the weekend at a dinner with a bunch of people who were hundred millionaires and billionaires, and I just sat there, you know, like a bump on the log.
00:20:38.500And I just said to them, so what do you think is coming our way, and what do we do?
00:20:46.420Please, there's an opportunity for you to hear what rich people are doing, but you have to do it if you believe it.
00:20:56.100Because they are living a different life right now.
00:22:42.980Your car is going to have problems eventually, and the longer we hold on to our cars because they're too expensive to replace now, the more problems we're going to have because the more miles we're going to rack up, you know, as long as we can pay for the gas to get the car started.
00:22:56.580It is insanely expensive, and sometimes it can take a long time to fix our cars now.
00:34:20.300The first wave was December and January, wave two, March-April inflation.
00:34:30.180However, there is data now that there is a third wave and it is double the prior two waves.
00:34:39.280The USDA predicts egg prices will increase by 19% to 20% from where they are right now.
00:34:49.220They also say there will be regions with much higher retail increases than that.
00:34:56.860Two months ago, USDA had egg inflation at 2.5 or 3.5 year over year.
00:35:03.040So they've moved it from the high of 3.5 to a forward outlook of 20.5.
00:35:13.640Food at home, grocery store prices up 7% to 8% in the monthly review versus the April outlook of a rise of 5% to 6%.
00:35:24.360So when they say prices are going up, prices rose 8.1% and there is no reason to think that the forecast will not rise again.
00:35:43.100If you look at the prices at the supermarket and how it's increased in the last six months, the USDA is now saying double that and that's what you're looking for late this fall.
00:36:00.560We're going to have serious problems because how do you even get to the grocery store if gas is $7 a gallon?
00:36:16.120How do people get from their farm into town at $7 a gallon?
00:36:42.620This is a well-laid plan and I will show you why they're doing it tonight because I'll show you the second wave of control that is just around the corner and the foundations are already laid.
00:37:32.500Get it on Blaze TV with your subscription.
00:37:35.440You can watch the first part on YouTube, but we are going to be using what they would deem naughty terms.
00:37:45.040By the way, did you see that one of the social media channels banned me for hate speech because I explained what was on the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:43:38.760Well, what is going on with our banks and investment?
00:43:42.760Up in Canada, the Scotiabank has now apologized to those that had frustration and inconvenience because they froze the bank accounts if you were connected to the Freedom Convoy.
00:43:59.280Please accept our sincere apologies for the frustration and inconvenience this situation may have caused and thank you for your patience while we prepared our response.
00:44:10.740This is a letter that has just gone out.
00:44:13.200They're apologizing now for, did they want to do that?
00:44:32.260But Daniel Cameron, the Kentucky Attorney General, can go into ESG and stakeholder capitalism and how they're using our money to do things you didn't vote for and it's actually costing you.
00:44:57.640I mean, assuming you know what you're doing, the first thing you would have to do is gather the proper tools so they could do the job right.
00:46:54.020Well, and honestly, I think if you look at our law or if you even look at some of the language in ERISA itself,
00:47:03.600the requirement of investors regarding pension systems here in the Commonwealth
00:47:10.400indicate that the way that the investments are supposed to work is that they are solely to bring and bring money for the beneficiary.
00:47:21.940And so that is the sole mission and purpose of an investment.
00:47:27.700And so when you see things like ESG that are ancillary interest and could have a consequential negative impact on the investments of teachers,
00:47:42.300firefighters, law enforcement, other state public employees,
00:47:45.920that's something that as AG of Kentucky, I'm going to stand up against and make sure that folks here in the Commonwealth know that we're going to be watching this very closely
00:47:56.920to ensure that the investment practices are done in a way that is solely for the benefit of the beneficiary,
00:48:04.820as opposed to some of these ancillary interests related to ESG.
00:48:08.580If I'm not mistaken, a study just came out last week or the week before that showed that the ESG funds,
00:48:16.040many of them are performing under the market.
00:48:20.160And one of the big might have been BlackRock.
01:17:27.640I'm going to show you on my Wednesday night TV show the disasters that are coming.
01:17:34.200And they are Biden made disasters and how they will cripple us and what the administration in the bureaucracy is already laying the foundation for.
01:17:46.500Because they're not only just creating it.
01:17:49.800They have a solution for those problems.
01:17:53.400And I don't think you're going to like them.
01:17:55.580And you didn't vote for any of them tonight.
01:27:20.600Well, I think we're probably done with running cases in the District of Columbia where the jury clearly did nullification, which is they basically don't even listen to the facts.
01:27:31.360They decided coming in, they didn't like the case, and that was going to be it.
01:27:36.180So I think if you actually want convictions, that case has to be the end of bringing indictments into D.C.
01:27:44.180Because it's similar to what you see in elections in North Korea or Iraq where the dictator gets 99% of the vote.
01:28:15.640Compare that to the Michael Flynn trial.
01:28:19.700Recall that Michael Flynn was completely set up, that his name was leaked in order to destroy him and the Trump administration early on in the presidency.
01:28:28.760And when evidence came out that he was completely set up, that he didn't lie, and that the DOJ and the prosecutors themselves said there's no case here, a corrupt judge in the D.C. district court said, no, actually, I'm not going to let you pull these charges.
01:28:44.440So compare that to what just happened with this DNC lawyer, and it tells you everything you need to know about the so-called justice system when it comes to political people in D.C.
01:30:03.180They were seeding things with each other to do this sort of circular confirmation thing.
01:30:08.040I think we're going to get a lot more about how the entire Russiagate investigation launched by the FBI against Trump in 2016 was itself a hoax from the beginning.
01:30:22.740So, you know, my speculation was at the very beginning that he was hoping that Sussman would turn and he could get the things that he needed from him as he would turn on, you know, the Clinton campaign.
01:30:36.620He didn't turn, but he did, I mean, he gave all that information in the end anyway.
01:30:45.460So was this originally just a foundation laying case and a search for the truth that Sussman couldn't get out of people in his investigation?
01:30:57.400Well, it could be because we actually, or not, we, Durham was able to get access to a whole bunch of emails he didn't have previously that, that the DNC and Hillary campaign and Fusion GPS were all pretending were privileged communications with their attorneys.
01:31:14.260Durham was able to significantly pierce that during the trial.
01:31:17.640And to me, kind of the foundation goes back to when that inspector general report came out from the Department of Justice IG.
01:31:25.740And in that report, the IG said, oh, there's no evidence the Russia thing was political and it was, it was legally predicated.
01:31:33.120And on that day, Durham himself came out and issued a statement that he, based on his review of the evidence, didn't think that was true.
01:31:41.160We've not really heard anything about that since that day.
01:31:46.300And I believe that is where we're going to end up.
01:31:50.120We are going to find out what exactly started this bogus investigation.
01:31:55.020So, so do you know yet as Durham telegraphed at all, what comes next?
01:32:02.480Well, we have, he hasn't telegraphed it.
01:32:05.280We have another indictment sitting out of Igor Danchenko, who is the so-called primary subsource for all of the nonsensical lies peddled by Christopher Steele in his dossier
01:32:16.580This guy is a Russian national living in the U.S., used to work at Brookings, shocker, who had peddled all sorts of nonsense, including that infamous videotape that didn't exist of Trump in a hotel in Moscow.
01:32:33.820So that trial is still upcoming and that trial is being held in Virginia.
01:32:36.860So I think that'll be a different, that'll play out differently than the D.C. case against Sussman.
01:33:55.580This is about taking down the president of the United States.
01:34:00.200This is about using the full force and image of the Justice Department and everything else to stand against and mount a campaign against a sitting president.
01:35:10.460But Nixon and then they didn't continue to spy and, you know, any of that stuff.
01:35:16.000He left office because he was going to be impeached for doing that.
01:35:23.060You can't even get a low level attorney in trouble for lying to the FBI about a bogus thing that just didn't happen just before the election.
01:35:34.720It ran during his current is his presidency.
01:35:57.940It did, because that's why everybody went to journalism school.
01:36:01.200All the people who are at the head now, they all went to journalism school because they saw that two reporters could topple a president and they learned the wrong lesson.
01:36:12.600They now think that they can topple any president because they don't like him.
01:36:17.980And, like, I, as I was saying, we all know terrible people are involved in these campaigns all the time.
01:36:25.280There are people that are, you know, some of them are fine.
01:36:32.860It's, it's created with, with people who, who want to just destroy others.
01:36:38.360Like, literally their job is to destroy the lives of other people as you go through these campaigns.
01:36:44.280And many of the strategists are on this.
01:36:45.920And that's part of the reason why, like, I'm less, I don't know, activated, interested, riveted by what happens to the Clintons themselves, as I am to what the media did with all this information and how they handled it.
01:37:02.180I mean, they took this information from them.
01:41:36.360I'd go back in every six months and have one if they need to do.
01:41:38.920Oh, you'd go back in to have a mental health check every six months.
01:41:41.420And the reason why I bring the conversation up is because a lot of this stuff, if you're not in the Second Amendment argument every day, it sounds completely reasonable.
01:47:51.700So there's a lot of backstory and a lot of details that the book offers.
01:47:56.260So if you want to get all of it, you got to go get Why I Stand.
01:47:58.540But for me, what happened to George Floyd was obviously tragic and it was obviously terrible.
01:48:03.680But what I tried my best to do was take a step back and think, what is the best way for me to respond in this moment?
01:48:09.060And looking out, I'm thinking to myself, man, the world needs healing.
01:48:13.220And to me, healing is not going to come through a movement.
01:48:15.940It's not going to come through an organization, a party, anything like that.
01:48:19.060When I looked at my own life, I said, man, my life has been supported, changed, and healed by the gospel of Jesus Christ, the love of Jesus Christ.
01:48:25.640And I was saying, man, this is the message that I want to push, and this is the message that I want to share in this moment.
01:48:29.900And so when I thought about healing, I know that racism and all the things that plague our society are heart issues, and they're ultimately spiritual issues.
01:48:42.300The one thing I love in your book, you talk about how you didn't feel – you kind of felt like a fraud.
01:48:50.500And it wasn't until you found a relationship with God that you realized, no, no, no, I have everything I need to be able to succeed and to thrive, right?
01:49:03.860I grew up Christian, so my parents always had me in the church like every single day.
01:49:07.920But as I begin to grow up and just kind of want what the world has to offer and went after it and all the things like that.
01:49:14.120But I have this great, like, coming to God moment in the book and stories full of details and just God orchestrating my footsteps and ultimately me coming to understand that God loves me for me.
01:49:42.540You know, to be able to advance a career and everything else.
01:49:46.080And it was just – I was just miserable because it wasn't real and I was just covering for all the things that I thought I was deficient in.
01:50:19.540And in that, he revealed himself to me.
01:50:21.600And I'm like, man, like, this is great.
01:50:23.960And I've been on this journey of just growing in relationship with him and ultimately to go from a young boy who struggled with anxiety, struggled with fear,
01:50:30.580self-insecurity to a man that was willing to stand up for what he believes in in these moments and display a form of courage that I hope that everyone can take from the book and internalize and ultimately do the same.
01:50:40.880And it is – it's only because, you know, I think that the – what God does for people, a belief in God, is give you the confidence that you need.
01:50:54.040And not an arrogant confidence, but give you the confidence to be able to go in on the basketball court and know, I got this, you know, go anywhere.
01:51:16.260And to your point about what God does, what I was – the message that I was trying to get across in the moment is when you have these times like George Floyd or any tragedy or anything like that,
01:51:25.760what's so easy for us to do is immediately take the role of the judge and say, this person is awful.
01:51:34.080But what I have seen in my own life is when I was able to look at my own sin, my own shortcomings, my own failures, I was able to sympathize with people who go through the same thing.
01:51:42.280And what the gospel does is it puts everybody on the same playing field.
01:52:03.160And so it's pretty much saying like we need to stand up for what we believe in because at the end of the day, I didn't kneel and I didn't wear the t-shirt.
01:52:09.200We need to do those things, but at the same time, we do it in love and we render to people what we would have them render to us.
01:52:15.060And ultimately, the way God handles us is the right way to handle people.
01:52:17.860So what was the result from your teammates?
01:52:22.160Yeah, it was – so first off, it was a very emotional time.
01:52:26.360There were guys on my team who were extremely charged about the BLM movement and being all in.
01:52:31.920And so we had a heated conversation afterwards.
01:52:34.180We had a team-only meeting, just the players, and certain guys, you know, felt a way about it and were upset about the stand that I took.
01:52:40.560And we were able to have a conversation and almost leave it at, look, you guys believed in what you were kneeling for, but I believe in what I'm standing for too.
01:52:47.700And I respect you guys' decisions and kneel, but I expect that same respect in return.
01:52:52.600And have those wounds healed with everybody on the team?
01:52:55.960Well, I think as time has gone on, everyone has been able to kind of breathe a little bit and see kind of the landscape for what it was and to see the way that the organization or people were moving in that time.
01:53:18.120And that for me was kind of the same trail where it was like, you know what, I need to take a step back, see what's going on because this thing is being forced.
01:53:26.700You know, people are losing their jobs.
01:53:28.460People are medical and religious exemptions are being denied.
01:53:32.880And then we get to the point where the Rolling Stone article drops and they say that I came to my decision by watching Donald Trump press conferences and studying black history.
01:53:41.160And that was when I was like, you know what, on principle, they're not saying that the vaccine is terrible and everybody's going to die if they take it.
01:53:47.040But on principle, this thing hasn't been gone about the right way.
01:53:51.060And so I decided not to take it and just be a voice for people who.
01:53:54.540I think they would have actually had more people get the vaccine if they hadn't been so creepy.
01:54:05.820And at the end of the day, it's just when you're coming across something like that and you're studying exactly what COVID is and everything that they're saying, it should have just been a choice.
01:54:25.060And so I think just the way that it was forced, the way that it was pushed.
01:54:28.160And even throughout the season, I was the only one who didn't get vaccinated and I didn't get COVID.
01:54:32.340So many guys on the team who are vaccinated.
01:54:34.000So many people who have been who had the COVID vaccine, you know, episode one through seven are getting the, you know, are getting COVID over and over and over again.
01:55:17.860I don't see the wisdom in putting this into my body and still being able to get the virus and transmitted anyway.
01:55:23.560And so, but just for the principle of the people who were struggling in that time, the people who went from essential workers to, you know, being able to be excluded.
01:55:31.600I was like, you know, just on principle, I don't think this is right for me.
01:55:34.280So the name of the book is Why I Stand by Jonathan Isaac.
01:55:43.960And again, they tell me that you're the guy and you're going to be the guy to push this thing.
01:55:50.620Well, I will tell you that it is exceptional.
01:55:52.980And you're number one on Christian, number one in sports.
01:55:56.320So this week, so when we first dropped, we were number one in Christian, number one in political books, number one in basketball biographies.
01:56:03.140And then I think we got as high as 15 overall books.
01:56:05.600But I think after this interview, we're going to get to one in overall books.
01:56:08.880Well, that would be, I mean, I can't do that for my book in the New York Times.
01:56:13.520I can do it on all other lists, but not the New York Times, so don't count on it.
01:56:17.260But the name of the book is Why I Stand.
01:56:19.600And it is truly an inspirational book.
01:56:21.880I mean, there is a real shortage of two things, and they are correlated.
01:56:33.160People who actually believe in God and the power of God.
01:56:38.360I'm not saying that, yeah, I believe in God.
01:57:06.320And to the point about that, it's like what I do really love about the book is that it's not a fairy tale.
01:57:11.160It's not like this guy is just the most courageous guy in the world.
01:57:13.900And he has such great belief, and he just did this amazing thing.
