On today's show, Glenn Beck fills in for his regular host, Glenn himself. He talks about the monkeypox outbreak, abortion after birth, and more. Plus, a call-in from a listener about her dog's love of Rough Greens.
00:07:24.740There are subscriptions that we all have that I think the economy is now making us go back and look and go, wait a minute.
00:07:32.200What the heck is that $5 and it's just adding up and I think people are starting to, because of the economy, cut back on the things that they don't, they don't need.
00:07:42.560However, this is, they're fine to translate this as a left-wing thing, because I do think that plays a role in it.
00:07:53.020Netflix has now just pulled the plug on Ibram X. Kendi's show, Anti-Racist Baby, along with other proposed offerings that would present a nod or total body immersion experience to the woke culture.
00:08:08.400According to a report in Variety, the Anti-Racist Baby, which is aimed at preschoolers, is one of three animated shows to get the axe.
00:08:18.540The others were Wings of Fire and a film titled With Kind Regards from Kindergarten.
00:10:11.220January, her mother was talking about a new bill.
00:10:14.160A just-proposed bill in the Florida legislature that would severely limit how teachers could discuss gender identity and sexual orientation with their children.
00:10:24.680Critics were already calling it the Don't Say Gay bill.
00:10:28.600Her mother, a vocal supporter of LGBTQ.
00:11:23.180And the political left, including Biden, who made a statement that said the bill was hateful.
00:11:32.340Ron DeSantis just signed it into law, vowing, as he did so, that children in his state would get an education, not indoctrination.
00:11:40.580Well, what we don't know here is this deeply affected Ms. Solomon.
00:11:50.240She found it upsetting, not because she planned to talk or has ever talked about gender identity or sexual orientation or LGBTQ issues in the classroom.
00:12:03.020Solomon's straight classes have often made casual references to their husbands in the course of their teaching, and she'd never dare mention her wife to students.
00:12:13.180But now she feels that she won't be able to ever mention her wife to her students.
00:12:56.040By the way, you know, forget about the grooming thing, because that's a conspiracy theory.
00:13:02.340We've got a new number out now, and I think this is fantastic.
00:13:06.960A new number of one hundred and thirty five teachers and teachers aides.
00:13:11.960That's the number of people that have been arrested so far this year on child sex related crimes, ranging from child pornography to raping students.
00:13:21.860Again, that number is one hundred and thirty five teachers and teachers aides that have been arrested for child pornography or raping students.
00:14:28.980So it's a little shocking to most people because I hold those points of view that I would point out that the NBA might might be a little biased when they, you know, shut everybody up about China.
00:14:48.880You know, it's I mean, they're speaking out about human rights here in America, and we are so bad when it comes to human rights in comparison to China.
00:15:00.080My gosh, we we live in a country right now.
00:17:00.120Uh, and the first job is to verify that the reason why, uh, the misinformation board went away is because of misinformation.
00:17:10.180And he's going to do a thorough investigation of that.
00:17:13.060And I, I wonder what he's, I wonder, do you think he's going to find that it was people misinforming people about the misinformation, uh, that they were going to stop?
00:17:26.560Do you think maybe they're going to find that?
00:17:29.340I don't know, but I know it's going to be a fair and honest look back in just a second.
00:17:34.820Right now in school, your children are, uh, just as likely to be taught how to properly identify pro math, pronouns of multiple genders, uh, as they are of being taught.
00:17:46.620In fact, I don't think it's as likely.
00:17:49.220I think it's more likely they'll be taught that than, I don't know, math.
00:17:52.560Anyway, it's happening right in front of our eyes and your kids need a, a good education.
00:17:58.600And it's hard as a parent because we don't have the tools you, I mean, you want to teach your kids, you know, that there are endless numbers of, uh, genders and Hey, they can, we can go to the hospital this afternoon without any kind of appointment for anything.
00:18:14.400And they'll cut your wee wee off right now.
00:19:10.360If you believe you're a mermaid anyway.
00:19:13.260Uh, so this is about these kids that want to, you know, start their own theater.
00:19:17.660Well, mom and dad have to teach them how to do business.
00:19:20.560And it is, I mean, your kids at seven will learn what a monopoly is, learn what competition is, why it's important, what a business plan is.
00:19:30.820I know it sounds really boring and no way you can teach that to your seven-year-old and have them like it.
00:19:36.980They'll love this book and you can get it for free right now.
00:19:41.180The Tuttle Twins and their spectacular show business.
00:19:43.480Because if you want America to survive, they need to understand that it comes with risk and risk is a good thing.
00:20:35.560Um, I've been, I remember hearing it when I was a child, when I was in school and it was something that it was like, oh, you have to be prepared because this thing is going to happen.
00:20:44.400Um, you know, and, uh, so, you know, it's like Tuesday, you know, we, you, every day there's something, there is not a day that I wake up in these here United States.
00:20:57.980Um, as a black woman, that there is not something that, that not only me, but so many others have to face and deal with as it relates to, um, uh, whether it's our race or it's the culture.
00:22:04.640Uh, except, you know, the extremist thing I wake up and, uh, those people who are talking about, Hey, let's just return to freedom and respect and love for everybody.
00:22:20.260Um, those people are called extremists.
00:22:23.280And this is the part I have on that average Tuesday.
00:22:25.700And the people are like, it's a woman's choice.
00:22:28.600I don't care if it's a 65 year old kid.
00:22:32.580If mom wants to say I shouldn't have 65 years ago, had that kid, mom can kill him.
00:22:39.240It's, I mean, it's a woman's right to kill her child.
00:22:47.600I wonder every day, every day that bell of Liberty continues to ring across America.
00:22:52.320And it does so because of men and women who put their lives on the line to keep us free and safe.
00:22:58.880Our military, our police officers and fire people.
00:23:04.320These guys have taken a beating, just a beating in the last few years.
00:23:09.660Well, since 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been supporting America's heroes and their families.
00:23:15.940And when a first responder or military service member doesn't come home and young children are left behind, Tunnel to Towers pays off their mortgage to lift the financial burden and bring their family to stability.
00:25:53.180And not, that's not what this is, by the way, this, this time we must be over the target.
00:25:59.120Here's a story from the AP Associated Press.
00:26:02.980Republicans are coming out swinging against wall street's growing efforts to consider factors like long-term environmental risk in investment decisions.
00:26:11.160The latest indication that the GOP is willing to damage its relationship with big business to score cultural war points.
00:26:20.400I don't know if you know this, but why would Republicans still be in bed with big business?
00:26:26.380All of the big businesses hate Republicans.
00:26:32.440Many are now targeting a concept known as ESG, which stands for environmental, social, and governance.
00:26:41.440It's a sustainable investment trend sweeping the financial world.
00:26:45.800Red state officials deride it as politically correct and woke and are trying to stop investors who contract with states from adopting it on any level at all.
00:26:57.240These far right-wing activists who previously brought criticisms of critical race theory, diversity, equity, and exclusion, DEI, and social-emotional learning, SEL, to the forefront.
00:27:12.860It's the latest acronym-based source of outrage to find a home at rallies in conservative media and now in legislatures.
00:27:28.600And they even have, you know, Larry Fink telling the truth.
00:27:32.820We focus on sustainability, not because we're environmentalists, but because we're capitalists and fiduciaries to our clients.
00:27:39.800So he's taken that fiduciary responsibility, and, you know, he's just, well, I mean, he does go on to say, you know, the short term, it may not be the best investment, but we know in the long term it will be.
00:27:57.200Oh, so that's the kind of fiduciary responsibility you can get.
00:28:03.860In more than a dozen red states, officials dispute the idea that energy transition, which is underway, could make fossil fuel-related investments riskier in the long term.
00:28:38.820In Texas, West Virginia, and Kentucky, lawmakers have passed bills requiring state funds to limit transactions with companies that shun fossil fuels.
00:28:46.760Wyoming considered banning social credit scores that evaluate businesses using the criteria that differ from, I don't know, traditional accounting and other financial metrics.
00:28:57.740After conservative talk show host Glenn Beck visited Statehouse and referred to ESG as critical race theory on steroids,
00:29:05.480that legislature passed a law in March prohibiting investment of state funds in companies that prioritize commitments to ESG over returns.
00:30:41.260And, you know, they are not faring well in the S and the G.
00:30:47.200Apparently, the S and P, when they were looking at the 500, they identified two separate events centered around claims of racial discrimination.
00:31:01.720In a company that only has tens of thousands of employees, they found two claims that revolved around racial discrimination and poor working conditions at Tesla's factory.
00:31:14.860As well as they have rejected the unions, and that's not going to go well for you.
00:31:28.420Also, they didn't like the handling of the investigation from the government after multiple deaths and injuries were linked to its autopilot vehicles.
00:33:06.580So Business Insider has a report claiming the flight attendant received a $250,000 settlement from SpaceX over allegations that on a flight in 2016, he exposed his erect.
00:33:20.900And rubbed her leg without permission and then attempted to bribe the flight attendant into performing a sexual massage in in in in exchange for a horse.
00:33:33.760Well, she's apparently into horses and horse riding.
00:33:37.980So he really offered to buy her a horse by.
00:35:19.420Here's a here's another article you want to talk about being over the target.
00:35:23.380Some analysts are predicting that the average price of gas in the U.S.
00:35:26.900will hit six dollars this summer because of low inventory and increased demand as Russia's military action in Ukraine continues.
00:35:35.120But radio talk show host Glenn Beck thinks something else is responsible.
00:35:41.060ESG, an acronym for environmental, social and governance standards that companies increasingly embrace,
00:35:46.520represent the expansion of a company's goals from making money and increasing its value to shareholders to accomplishing social justice goals that benefit stakeholders such as being climate friendly and having sustainable practices.
00:36:00.160Some investors make decisions based on companies, which is why Tesla's recent removal from the Standard & Poor's ESG index matters.
00:36:45.820We're going to have a new world order.
00:36:48.420He spoke again on Thursday of the overemphasis on wind and solar energy and corresponding devaluation of fossil fuels that has contributed to the record high gas prices,
00:37:00.880which is something he was saying in February when it was the prospect of gas at five dollars a gallon that was spooking the nation.
00:37:09.520ESG standards are also hurting states that have the potential to damage the credit ratings of even booming,
00:37:15.100healthy states that might not have the correct political views.
00:37:20.300Five dollar a gallon gasoline is coming all across America.
00:37:23.480But this is a problem the White House has created by embracing ESG standards, not just an effect of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
00:38:01.360That's why I remember which big mobile service it is that does that because I want to make sure I they're all the same.
00:38:09.500And they're all charging you an arm and a leg and they're all working their special, special magic with ESG and social justice and white people are crap.
00:38:40.620Patriot Mobile dot com slash back switch now, send a message and and get all of your phone service that you need in the way you need it at a price that is much better.
00:38:52.800Get free activation with the offer code back veterans and first responders save even more.
00:53:08.720It's just what is it going to look like as we get there?
00:53:13.140The the pounding of right wing extremists in the media and and how this is the most extreme political party, the right political party ever.
00:53:28.620They are they are they are not only just stirring it up like they have been, but they are now also enacting through fiat the through the agencies, all kinds of things to to to set up an encounter with extremists and be able to isolate and, you know, and label people.
00:53:56.620I mean, it's I've never seen anything like this.
00:55:00.180And then when the producer price index comes out, and again, not reported, nobody knows what it is, and says, hey, we're almost over 10%, that's passed on to consumers.
00:55:13.340That's three more months of rising inflation.
00:57:35.040It makes a great collectible coin that maybe you can trade, you know, with your friends as you're collecting, you know.
00:57:41.720Goldline is giving away right now the Maple Flex silver bars from the Canadian Mint with qualifying orders of the Ben Franklin silver rounds this week.
00:58:44.740Juror number five went to the judge and said, you know what?
00:58:50.880I just found out that my daughter competes with Sussman's daughter on the high school crew team, and I didn't fill that out in my jury questionnaire.
00:59:02.920But the, you know, the two girls, they're not close, but, you know, I do have connections.
00:59:09.440And the judge said, oh, well, I mean, since you brought it up, we know you're going to be fair.
00:59:19.420You know, again, I think that the evidence will be overwhelming against Sussman.
00:59:24.500And the more important thing here than a guilty verdict, which I think we'll get, is that Americans now know, if you pay attention, that the Hillary Clinton campaign engineered this.
01:00:15.000Money, money, big money, big money drives a lot of this stuff.
01:00:22.300So Sussman knows if he gets convicted, he's not going to do a lot of time lying to the FBI.
01:00:28.280And this is speculation on O'Reilly's part, but it doesn't make any sense in any way for this guy not to have flipped, saved himself and pleaded down.
01:00:42.700Somebody's behind him with a lot of coin.
01:00:46.500He does his three or four months or whatever he's going to do.
01:00:49.940And there's a rainbow at the end of it.
01:00:51.840Bill, let me talk to you about the price of gasoline over the summer.
01:00:57.920Uh, it was, uh, JP Morgan that came out and said, we are looking at $6 a gallon gasoline this summer.
01:10:16.800Yeah, they put a pause and they're not going to give up.
01:10:19.160I mean, this has been going on at least since 2016 when Hillary Clinton was pretty much anointed to be president.
01:10:24.520She was talking about, all right, we're going to use the federal government to take on, you know, fake news.
01:10:28.700That was the term that they kind of came up with to kind of shutter it because when you have a free flow of exchange of information, they can't keep up with their lies and depravity.
01:10:59.960They will say or do whatever they want to control the microphone, and they have to because when you have so many microphones out there, everyone has a Twitter account or a cell phone, they really will lose the argument because they're lying.
01:11:13.140Isn't it amazing how fast Elon Musk has become enemy number one?
01:11:20.340Well, according to sources, Christine Blasey Ford is refusing to go into space because of how he assaulted her in kindergarten.
01:11:45.620You can't really go after environmentalism with him when he's the guy who, as he pointed out, has done more for the environment than any businessman in history.
01:11:54.040So they have to go with this other third thing.
01:11:56.940And the fact that he called it hours before it happened, I think on Twitter he said, I'm about to get the recipient of political attacks like you haven't seen before, some to that effect.
01:12:06.280And that it happened, I think, is just demonstrates how more people are wise to the tactics of these, as you said, monsters.
01:12:51.280I don't know if he per se stands, but I think this is an example of what Trumpism would look like without Trump.
01:12:58.400I tweeted out a couple of weeks ago that Donald Trump has nothing left to teach anyone.
01:13:01.680But this shows instead of having arguments which they're not engaging with in good faith, you have to storm their forts, Twitter, the media, college campuses where they're speaking, and fight them there and seize those areas.
01:13:17.100And he understood this better than anyone.
01:13:19.140So, yeah, they're going to try to go after him.
01:13:23.980Every day there's more and more people realizing, wait a minute.
01:13:26.860These people are depraved and they're not engaging in good faith.
01:13:29.900And wasting your time, you know, arguing with them about gun rights, which they don't believe in, is going to get nowhere, whereas the answer is having gun proliferation.
01:13:37.420That's, you know, so that's just one example of, okay, don't argue with them because they don't believe what they say even as they say it.
01:13:44.140They think they are in grave, grave danger of pushing the country so far that it swings back towards liberty like we haven't seen in our lifetimes, maybe in several lifetimes.
01:14:01.420This move in Congress to have a federal license for a gun, what part of the Second Amendment don't you understand?
01:14:13.820Well, they understand it perfectly, just don't care.
01:14:16.000I mean, you can't – do you honestly think that they don't understand the Second Amendment?
01:14:19.420No, I do, but it's not going to get by the court system.
01:18:04.460An audience of a thousand that filled the southwest expanse of the Laurel Shopping Center's parking lot.
01:18:10.040Old woman squinted through thick-rimmed glasses in the bright May sky.
01:18:15.900Teenage boys in tight polyester shirts brushed their hair from their eyes.
01:18:19.900Thick-set men with crew cuts shifted on their feet, and they all faced the stage erected in front of the Equitable Trust Company in suburban Maryland.
01:18:31.060A few pollsters were furious at the politician who now climbed onto that stage, confounded by the genius with which he exposed and exploited Americans' fears.
01:18:40.040But many more in the crowd adored him, angered not by his words that he spoke, but by the things he spoke against.
01:18:47.080Court-ordered busing to integrate public schools, anti-war protesters, government bureaucrats, welfare grifters, news reporters, the alleged lawlessness of the political left.
01:18:57.900Sporting the lacquered hair and broad striped tie regional bank manager, he swept his arms outward as if the forces of Americans' disintegration were encroaching on his mostly white audience from somewhere just beyond Cherry Lane and Baltimore Avenue.
01:19:16.240Applause rose over the jeers of protesters.
01:19:18.940It was the spring of 1972, and George Wallace, the infamously segregationalist governor from Alabama, now an upstart contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, had never been more popular.
01:19:36.380Well, just as important, historians say, were Wallace's presidential campaigns, which helped unleash the forces that shaped the country long after his White House aspirations, and were ended by what happened that day in Laurel.
01:19:52.080But his enduring relevance, Carter says, this is Dan T. Carter, he says, lies in the discovery of the underground stream of modern American politics.
01:20:07.060Wallace tapped the current of grievance and barely muffled racism that would later propel the rise of Donald Trump.
01:27:48.980Then rebuilding societal trust is what we've got to do.
01:27:54.700We want a new global order, uh, to, uh, rebuild societal trust is we have these meetings and
01:28:04.800we, uh, uh, do not let anybody, uh, that is normal, uh, come into Switzerland and attendees.
01:28:13.360And, uh, I would like to thank everyone for making the guy with the spookiest accent, uh, the face of this, uh, global movement to re rebuild societal trust.
01:29:08.700And so everybody's going to lose their job and they're going to need to be re-skilled, uh, resilient futures, economic weaponry, uses and effectiveness of sanctions.
01:29:20.300So that's really, that's going to be wow.
01:29:48.220Uh, you know, remember the world economic forum, the, um, the, the, the architects of the great reset, you know, the, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
01:30:10.080So these are some of the things that they, uh, they have, uh, and some of the people, the list of attendees who are showing up, um, many of them are Americans.
01:30:21.380Uh, for instance, we have the secretary of commerce there.
01:30:24.520She's, she, uh, she's going to be attending, which I think is great.
01:30:28.180John Kerry is a special presidential envoy for the climate.
