Thank you so much, Hillary. I want to talk to you about sweat block. Actually, I consider you talk about this on the regular show, you know, you know, even though they're not a sponsor of the radio show, because I think it is a miracle.
00:00:13.420
I tried the sweat block last week. I started using the sweat block wipes, which is for extreme sweating, but it's like a thousand degrees here. I'm telling you, it is the most amazing thing ever.
00:00:24.980
I was outside not sweating. I came in and I should have just stunk to high heaven. I actually I like smelled my shirt after I took it off after it dried.
00:00:35.060
I took it off and I smelled it. I could there's like no odor. And that was like four days after I had applied the sweat block. It's truly amazing.
00:00:45.100

00:01:32.800
We've got no room to compromise. We've got to stand together. It's going to survive. Stand up straight and hold the line.
00:02:00.900
Stand up straight and hold the line. It's a new day or time to rise.
00:02:09.360
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:21.200
All right. There was a horrible, horrible shooting in Buffalo, and it took just about, what, two hours for the Democrats to start pouncing.
00:02:30.900
There's also a horrible shooting in California that the media is not making a big deal out of.
00:02:39.260
It was in a church and it was an Asian that was shooting other Asians.
00:02:44.740
I guess that one doesn't count. Five people dead over the weekend in Chicago.
00:02:51.280
But those never count. Wisconsin, there was a shooting.
00:02:55.360
But apparently the one that we have to pay attention to is the one in Buffalo.
00:03:01.380
And I don't mean to be callous, but you need to understand how this is being used.
00:03:08.400
First, I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to give you the facts.
00:03:11.820
Well, actually, I'm going to start with the Daily Beast and what they say all of this means.
00:03:32.040
And that's because who's teaching our kids and what are they teaching them?
00:03:40.060
It is the Tuttle Twins and their spectacular show business.
00:03:44.420
And if you're watching the blaze, you can see that, you know, it's it's made for kids.
00:03:53.560
They want to start their own theater, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:55.980
And their mom and dad say, OK, well, you want to start your you want to start a business, then you have to have a business plan.
00:04:03.840
And it goes through how to make a business plan, how to understand what you bring to the table, what the risk is, what others can bring to the table.
00:04:18.240
What are your resources, the capital and then the business plan?
00:04:25.980
This is the way to teach your kids how to be an entrepreneur.
00:04:31.780
It's called the spectacular show business by the Tuttle Twins, and you can get it for free right now.

00:04:53.060
Let me first say hello to Pat Gray, who is filling in this week for Stu, who is off having some plastic surgery done.
00:05:02.620
And I'm glad he probably wouldn't want me to mention it, but it's quite it's been quite disfiguring what has happened to him recently.
00:05:22.080
I mean, you know, over the over the last 20 years to not talk about.
00:05:31.620
We have you in our thoughts, not our prayers, Stu, but we do have you in our thoughts and your ongoing extensive plastic surgery that you're you're doing.
00:05:39.820
Uh, if this is from the Daily Beast, if Biden and the Democrats still have to answer for defund the police and CRT, the GOP should answer for the racist, violent theory that they've pushed Republicans in the conservative media ecosystem have to answer for the blood on their hands, either through innuendo or direct statements.
00:06:01.000
They continue to promote the white supremacist great replacement theory, which is yet again, radicalized a terrorist to commit violence against people of color, and they should be held accountable for their role in it.
00:06:12.880
OK, I would I would like to know, do you know anyone who is upset that America will what by 2050 be less white and whites won't be in charge?
00:06:31.580
Do you have you ever heard a candidate for the Republican Party ever talk about that?
00:06:49.400
It may be the issue with some people and it is an issue online, but that's not a GOP theory.
00:07:10.820
We are still learning more about Peyton Gendron.
00:07:13.940
This is from the Daily Beast, the 18 year old suspected terrorist who killed 10 people suspected terrorist.
00:07:19.680
I mean, he surrendered at the scene, killed 10 people in a racially motivated attack in Buffalo.
00:07:28.200
However, it is clear from his alleged manifesto that the Great Replacement Theory, which is now a mainstream GOP talking point.
00:07:46.320
Continues to radicalize men to commit violence.
00:07:50.180
Yet some Republican leaders and conservative pundits continue to promote this hate for the sake of votes, profit and ratings.
00:07:58.640
I don't know anyone in my industry that believes it and is promoting it.
00:08:05.120
By the way, for those who are like, you talk about the borders.
00:08:17.760
Enough is enough until Republican leaders and conservative media stars.
00:08:23.420
Could be talking about Stu, but I don't want to bring him up because of that horrible, horrendous scar.
00:08:28.560
Anyway, the unless the conservative media stars explicitly renounce this white supremacist conspiracy theory, condemn it and disassociate from its peddlers.
00:08:40.520
If they don't, it's fair to conclude they are entirely complicit with the message.
00:08:45.480
Stu, Pat, do you renounce this white supremacist conspiracy?
00:08:52.500
Will you disassociate from all of its peddlers?
00:08:55.180
Completely, except that I never associated with them to begin with.
00:09:01.400
I mean, if you can point them out, let me know.
00:09:05.480
Journalists and reporters must repeatedly hound Republican officials with follow-up questions.
00:09:09.480
Recall Democrats and President Joe Biden are still asking about defunding the police, even though it's not a mainstream DNC position.
00:09:25.360
It was literally people ran on that platform until it became unpopular.
00:09:36.480
I mean, this is crazy or about critical race theory panic, even though it was revealed to be a bad faith Trojan horse created by right-wing activists to incite racial panic and anxiety.
00:10:00.620
First of all, replacement theory is not a mainstream Republican theory.
00:10:11.920
If you are afraid of another race taking over by 2050, you might want to discuss that with some people.
00:10:25.280
Maybe you should call us and discuss it with us because you're wrong.
00:10:32.720
What matters is the country being taken over by people who don't understand the Constitution and the way America was set up.
00:10:45.480
Okay, last spring, as the end of the academic year approached at Susquehanna Valley High School outside of Binghamton, New York, students were asked for a school project about their plans after graduation.
00:10:59.320
The guy who was shooting the supermarket up over the weekend said he wanted to commit a murder-suicide.
00:11:08.540
He claimed to be joking, but the state police were summoned to investigate.
00:11:12.980
They took him into custody under state mental health law.
00:11:17.060
He had a psychiatric evaluation in the hospital, but was released within a couple of days.
00:11:21.900
Two weeks later, he graduated, fell off investigators' radar.
00:11:24.900
He resurfaced over the weekend, 200 miles away in Buffalo, where authorities say he opened fire at a supermarket in a predominantly black area, killing 10 people, wounding three others in the deadliest racist massacre in the United States history.
00:11:40.460
You know, the one thing that I guess, I guess you could say is that social media is not paying attention and tracking everybody, nor is the FBI.
00:11:52.160
Now, if you're brought in and you are threatening your students and murder-suicide, and you've published a 180-page manifesto, maybe we should look at that.
00:12:12.500
Maybe, you know, hey, we had a tip on this guy.
00:12:17.780
But apparently, that wasn't done, even though the state has red flag laws.
00:12:25.920
Another gun law that doesn't seem to do anything because they don't enforce it.
00:12:33.360
So we read the manifesto, or as much as we could read the manifesto, because it has been taken offline.
00:12:44.880
It's a good thing because I don't want to spread the poison.
00:12:49.280
It's a bad thing because the media can lie about everything.
00:13:02.860
And they have been trying to, you know, blame Fox News and everybody else.
00:13:10.600
It attacks the news networks, including Fox News.
00:13:20.480
Now, Pat, I know that's a Republican talking point.
00:13:25.820
Can you tell me if you had to put one, well, let me do it in a positive way.
00:13:33.560
Which one of the two parties would be the most likely to support Jews and Israel?
00:13:46.140
Because it is the Republicans who stand by Israel every single time.
00:13:54.060
It was a Republican president who moved the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
00:14:05.080
Others have tried to link the shooter to right-wing politics, right-wing extremism.
00:14:14.940
When I was 12, I was deep into communist ideology.
00:14:27.120
Talk to anyone from my old high school and ask about me, and you'll hear that.
00:14:32.140
From age 15 to 18, however, I consistently move further to the right.
00:14:37.020
On the political compass, I fall in the mild, moderate, authoritarian, left category.
00:14:49.860
So he moved from the communist just to the authoritarian category.
00:15:06.760
Uh, he says, um, I'm not a conservative because conservativism is corporatism in disguise.
00:15:21.960
Well, it actually kind of does sound like Mitch McConnell, except it's not because of corporatism.
00:15:34.060
He's not a conservative and he doesn't like corporatism, but he's authoritarian.
00:15:43.320
Sounds to me like the guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
00:15:53.040
Uh, he also says that he was, uh, inspired by the New Zealand, uh, shooter, which that guy was a conservative.
00:16:11.540
Um, by the way, he talks about now, why wouldn't we read a manifesto on the air?
00:16:17.780
Um, I, you don't want to inspire anybody who's a little bit, uh, yeah, you don't want their
00:16:28.200
Um, he specifically says, um, that, um, there are New York strict gun laws, which is going
00:16:44.580
New Yorkers are limited to 10 round magazines and the crazy gunman, uh, says that means that
00:16:53.300
others don't have enough bullets, uh, to, if they're armed citizens to actually fight
00:17:03.040
He then goes on to say his desired outcome from this rampage would be more gun control
00:17:16.780
And he says more gun laws because that would force white Americans to fight back in order
00:17:26.580
Heavily racist, authoritarian left, and his goal was to get more gun laws.
00:17:47.140
Mark writes in about his experience with relief factory.
00:17:49.480
He said, I need pain for 15 years, but I started taking relief factor and my pain's gone.
00:17:59.240
Her knee pain has virtually disappeared as well.
00:18:05.020
Listen, if you're dealing with pain, give relief factor a try.
00:18:07.720
It's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors and it has four different ways to attack
00:18:22.220
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered the trial pack and about 70 percent of them
00:19:07.520
The manifesto says he was radicalized entirely by the Internet rather than anyone.
00:19:35.500
That's the guy who murdered the 51 Muslims in Christchurch.
00:19:39.860
By the way, he was also he also said that he was inspired by.
00:19:56.540
Seventy seven children there on that island with a gun.
00:20:02.760
There was nobody else on the island with a gun.
00:20:07.140
And then the 51 Muslims that were killed in Christchurch.
00:20:28.440
And it took about two, three hours for the Democrats to start in.
00:20:40.120
Two mass shootings in 24 hours in Milwaukee and Buffalo.
00:20:47.160
Angry that the GOP continues to block even the most basic gun safety measures.
00:21:04.500
The New York governor says we need new laws to deal with guns and social media.
00:21:14.860
Let's take care of two amendments to the Bill of Rights.
00:21:19.660
Now, nobody, nobody really cares about those that were killed in Chicago and nine wounded.
00:21:32.520
What happened in Milwaukee that left 21 injured was just, you know, a bunch of guys, you know, people shooting at each other in the streets.
00:21:43.920
But they were celebrating, you know, they were there for the NBA playoff game.
00:21:52.260
And then the California shooting at a church in Laguna Woods, one dead.
00:21:57.340
Um, yeah, one, one, one, one dead, even though people in the church did not have a gun.
00:22:13.380
Uh, the reason why this is not making any, you know, a big, a big news, uh, is because, um, he was Asian and, um, and, uh, and the, and the people that were in, uh, the church were Taiwanese.
00:22:31.480
I don't know what that is, but I thought this was important to, to, uh, tell you that Gavin Newsom.
00:22:38.180
Came out and said, our thoughts are with the victims and all those impacted by this tragic event.
00:22:47.600
No prayers, but he did give in to the thoughts, which.
00:23:06.700
Uh, recently found out the Biden administration is talking about using veterans affairs resources to help treat illegal aliens at the Southern border.
00:23:25.780
Could I, uh, maybe interest you in supporting our veterans?
00:23:29.360
Since nine 11, the tunnel to towers foundation has been supporting our veterans, uh, our, um, really our heroes.
00:23:35.680
Anybody who dies in the line of duty, protecting us and our rights.
00:23:38.860
If somebody doesn't come home at the end of the day or the end of tour, and they have young children, tunnel to towers pays off their mortgage to lift the financial burden from the family.
00:23:49.680
If they're catastrophically injured, tunnel to towers builds mortgage-free smart homes so they can have independent lives.
00:23:57.260

00:24:37.000
A, um, a resident from Buffalo, New York on the shooting this weekend.
00:24:43.180
Something has to change from the bottom to the top because they're not going to do nothing.
00:24:51.040
Um, I feel bad for the people that was in there because after the security guard got shot, he got a gun shooting people still.
00:24:58.660
If more people were armed and knew what they were doing with a gun, because it's not the gun, it's the person with the gun.
00:25:08.820
Uh, that was a, uh, that's a black man from Buffalo saying if more people were armed, wouldn't have a problem.
00:25:17.340
Uh, and the problem with the guard is he was the only one in the store with a gun.
00:25:22.800
When he shot him and learned the lesson that he was wearing, um, Kevlar vests, you should have shot him in the, in the head.
00:25:31.580
Or why didn't he shoot him in the trigger finger, Pat?
00:25:43.840
Um, there is a great story in the free beacon today to show you, um, I mean, it's just, it's ridiculous to see.
00:25:53.460
Were we, were we, and were we a nation that had a lot of racists in it?
00:26:06.220
We have been, we have been, um, did, did the South carry a lot of this racism forward through the sixties?
00:26:24.240
Well, did the Southern Democrats with their Southern strategy, did they, did they come in and flip and become Republicans?
00:26:53.060
Who is, who is enabling all people to have jobs and freedom?
00:27:00.820
And which one is telling people you can't do it because there's one race that is the problem?
00:27:13.040
And it is certainly not people who believe in the Constitution.
00:27:16.980
Now, the free beacon just shows the, the, um, media's role in all of this.
00:27:30.580
Frank James, the man arrested in New York City in the subway shooting is a black nationalist.
00:27:43.060
I mean, we did because we look for those things, but the average person doesn't have time.
00:27:48.640
They trust what's coming out of these people's mouths.
00:27:51.760
He was a black nationalist and an outspoken racist who railed against whites, Jews, and Hispanics.
00:28:03.600
Gee, that's weird because the one in Buffalo was also a racist.
00:28:10.280
He was an authoritarian leftist, according to his own words, and he also had a problem with Jews and Hispanics.
00:28:24.820
You would think that we would, a white, a black nationalist, if this guy were a white nationalist, uh, you know, a Nazi, they should bring that up.
00:28:37.260
But they don't, they call him instead a Republican.
00:28:42.900
Same thing, just different race running things.
00:28:48.860
They didn't, uh, the New York Times, uh, in a 2000 word article on the attack, never mentioned the fact that Frank James was a black and a black nationalist.
00:29:05.340
Same is true for the coverage, uh, offered up by Reuters and the Washington Post only mentioned James race in relation to his condemnation of training programs for low income black youths.
00:29:18.200
So they've said that he was a racist going after Jews and Hispanics and that he had a problem.
00:29:27.160
And what really made him snap was the, the lack of training programs for low income black youths.
00:29:38.120
Media critics on the right say that conspicuous omission of James race from these news reports illustrates a trend among prestigious papers, which deemphasize or admit, omit the race of non white criminals.
00:29:58.000
I have to thank the free beacon for doing this.
00:30:07.380
It's another to do the work that they just did.
00:30:10.840
The Washington free beacon reviewed hundreds of articles.
00:30:16.320
Published by major papers over a span of two years.
00:30:20.240
And they find that papers downplay the race of non white offenders, mentioning their race much later in articles than they do for white offenders.
00:30:29.660
These papers are also three to four times more likely to mention an offenders race at all.
00:30:37.320
If he is white, a disparity that grew in the wake of George Floyd's death in 2020.
00:30:42.020
The free beacon collected data on nearly eleven hundred articles about homicides from six major papers, all written between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty one.
00:30:54.300
The papers include the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the San Francisco Chronicle and the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
00:31:05.440
What do all of those papers have in common besides this story?
00:31:10.100
They're all left wing publications and they are all the source in those communities.
00:31:16.240
They are all the everything else in newsrooms in those communities will come from those papers.
00:31:23.760
The only difference here is the Los Angeles Times, maybe the Chicago Tribune and the New York Times are national viewed papers.
00:31:34.440
You cannot walk into a newsroom locally anywhere without finding a copy of the New York Times.
00:31:42.680
Representatives from each paper did not return question or comment.
00:31:47.440
For each article, we collected the offender and victim's name and race and noted where in the article the offender's race was mentioned.
00:31:55.160
And if at all, the data suggests an alarming editorial trend in which major papers routinely admit information from news reports presenting readers with a skewed picture of who does and doesn't commit crime.
00:32:13.840
This is done in every place there's ever been atrocities against a race.
00:32:19.980
You highlight the race of, let's say in Germany, Jews.
00:32:29.780
Once you once you highlight it for Jews, now everybody's like, well, they're the problem.
00:32:37.160
That's what's being that's what's being done now in our country.
00:32:47.000
These editorial choices are part and parcel with the racial reckoning that swept the newsroom and the wake of Floyd's murder.
00:32:56.960
This is what they found far quicker to mention the race of white murderers than black.
00:33:01.480
Those two races account for 92 percent of mentions in the data.
00:33:07.240
Half of the articles about a white offender mention his race within the first 15 percent of the article.
00:33:15.040
So 50 percent of all articles about a white perpetrator mention it in the first 15 percent of the article in articles about black offenders.
00:33:27.220
By contrast, mentions come overwhelmingly towards the end of the piece.
00:33:32.320
Fifty percent of the articles that mention a black offenders race do not do so until at least 60 percent of the way through and more than 20 percent.
00:33:50.860
Doing so permits an estimate of how often journalists highlight an offender's race or don't.
00:33:58.940
White offender's race was mentioned roughly one out of every four articles.
00:34:03.040
Compared about black offenders, one in every 17 articles and Hispanics, one in every 33 articles.
00:34:15.260
The effect is driven in part by a handful of major news stories involving white perpetrators, though the attention paid to these stories is also an editorial choice.
00:34:24.900
But even after admitting reports about white offenders, Kyle Rittenhouse, Derek Chauvin and the killers of Ahmed Arbery, the race of white offenders is mentioned in 16 percent of the cases, two to three times the rate of black offenders.
00:34:39.860
By the way, Middle Eastern offenders are now labeled as Asian.
00:34:45.600
This disparity widened following the George Floyd murder before May of 2020.
00:34:50.420
Papers were roughly twice as likely to mention the race of white, 13 percent of the story, versus black perpetrators, seven percent.
00:34:59.260
After May 2020, the numbers were 28 percent and four percent.
00:35:12.300
The newsrooms are doing what they call moral clarity there.
00:35:17.140
They're looking for moral clarity and racial justice.
00:35:23.180
So writing a news story, you don't you're not objective anymore.
00:35:33.700
You have to take a side with the goal of advancing a political objective.
00:35:40.980
That's why in the manifesto, you don't want to do what some terrorist, some killer that wrote a manifesto.
00:35:50.880
You don't want to do what they claiming their goal is.
00:36:02.400
More gun control because he felt it would bring about violence.
00:36:16.780
Because the facts about that shooting don't matter.
00:36:29.960
Republicans must be destroyed and we must have more gun control.
00:36:39.560
That's why the other stories involving other races aren't getting picked up, aren't getting the coverage.
00:37:08.320
When we have shortages in the country on things as important as baby formula, that's when you realize, hey, the sky's the limit here.
00:37:16.600
You know, nobody knows how bad things are going to get because the ports are shut down and it is a worse problem now in China than it was ever in COVID.
00:37:30.120
We haven't even seen this come to our shores yet.
00:37:36.200
Save one hundred and fifty dollars on a three month emergency food kit.

We're going to talk a little bit about what's happening in our communities with ESG.
00:38:43.240
Tomorrow is a very big day for voting in the primaries all over the country.
00:38:51.700
And we have to decide which way we're going to go.
00:38:55.460
We really as a nation, you have seen what the left has planned.
00:39:03.720
You know, do you are we going to are we going to continue down this road?
00:39:08.140
You know, it really kills me is how many people are just willing to go.
00:39:21.160
Well, I don't know what we're going to do about the baby formula thing.
00:39:26.400
Well, let's just wait for the government to fix it.
00:39:30.460
You know what the government, the baby formula.
00:39:32.960
The reason why is apparently the FDA just can't get out to check the just can't get
00:39:50.080
And the FDA is just, I mean, we got so many things to do.
00:39:54.200
I just don't know when we kind of think that's a priority.
00:39:56.900
You'd think you could get them on a plane today.
00:39:58.660
I mean, the day you find out we have a shortage, the president calls the FDA and say, what's
00:40:07.960
It's going to take 10 weeks from the time they from the time they give the OK.
00:40:13.980
And then it's another eight weeks to get it on the store shelves.
00:40:17.520
So we're 10 weeks out and they're still screwing around.
00:40:23.860
We wouldn't have had to have any of these problems.
00:40:26.080
So are we the kind of nation, are we just going to settle back and go, yep, this is our lot
00:40:33.780
We're going to be a, you know, second rate nation and we'll just wait for things.
00:40:38.960
Or are we going to say, you know, it's time to start making things here and it's time to
00:40:44.020
also start loosening up the rules of all of the things.
00:40:48.160
Do you know it's easier to start a business in Sweden than it is here?
00:40:53.880
Remember, Ikea left Sweden because they couldn't do business there.
00:41:01.620
They took the meatballs and the and the extra screws and they were like, we're going to
00:41:18.540
That's why America is going through what it is.
00:41:24.400
It's only going to get worse, however, with ESG and they're going to start punishing states.
00:41:32.260
I have a state treasurer on with us who's fighting back next.
00:41:40.760
That makes, you know, makes, you know, all of the stuff that, you know, you don't want
00:41:46.300
to think about the rest of the year, like, I don't know, being in shape.
00:42:06.340
Bilt Bars can you throw them in your bag for your kids even because they're protein bars.
00:42:13.200
I just like them because they are only four grams of sugar, four net carbs, 130 calories,
00:42:21.220
And if you haven't tried their marshmallow puffs yet, they're unbelievable.
00:43:11.820
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:36.740
Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:46.720
Why are you paying so much at the grocery store?
00:43:54.980
There's several reasons, but one that nobody really has tied together yet.
00:44:00.240
And we have an expert in finances and somebody who can explain all of this in 60 seconds.
00:44:07.900
Jody has written in about her experience with Relief Factor.
00:44:19.220
The majority of my upper back and neck pain is now gone.
00:44:23.420
Something that is non-prescription and non-addictive?
00:44:28.260
I like the only side effects are positive ones.
00:44:34.640
And Jody, I thank you very much for your email.
00:44:38.500
It is usually the thing that everybody tries the very last thing because you're out of
00:44:44.220
When you're living with real pain and nothing cuts it, and then, you know, if you get prescription
00:44:49.380
drugs, you're like, I don't want to live my life that way.
00:44:59.780
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to
00:45:20.620
We are, I'm thrilled, thrilled to have a real ESG warrior in the studio now.
00:45:29.460
Marlo Oaks, he is the Utah State Treasurer, and he gets it.
00:45:34.740
He is on our studio lot here, meeting with other state leaders from all over the country,
00:45:41.580
meeting with the Heartland Institute regarding ESG.
00:45:57.180
And in 2008, your firm fared really quite well, did it not?
00:46:06.160
Well, it was different strategies that we had in place.
00:46:09.560
And really, what's interesting is we looked at the market indicators.
00:46:13.780
We had some indicators on market-based information around the housing market, and we're able to
00:46:23.040
And the housing market went up, and this is important for people to understand.
00:46:28.040
And it wasn't called this at the time, but it was social justice, was it not?
00:46:35.460
So, essentially, the government decided that owning a home was a human right, right?
00:46:43.620
For everybody in the United States, everybody should own a home.
00:46:46.980
And so, we are going to twist the arm of banks to provide more capital.
00:46:52.660
You can't open up new banks in other areas unless you provide more home loans for these
00:47:02.720
And so, all of this money floods into the housing market, creating all of these different
00:47:19.500
And so, when we start messing with markets, we are creating huge problems.
00:47:25.480
The misallocation of capital, either too much capital or not enough capital, it creates problems.
00:47:34.040
And I want you to know there's a new study out that shows that 50%, 50%, 55% of the population
00:47:41.140
is now aware of the Great Reset and ESG and have an opinion on it.
00:47:54.120
Then with Democrats, and the trail is Republicans, because they say, we're not going to get involved
00:48:07.100
And I'm really glad to hear those statistics, because I've told people this transcends partisan
00:48:13.620
If you care about the United States of America, you will be against ESG.
00:48:19.760
This is not free market capitalism, because free market capitalism is allowing capital to
00:48:27.540
In 2015, there were 59 oil and gas funds raised globally, $46.6 billion.
00:48:33.940
In 2021, there were 11 funds raised globally, $4.6 billion, a drop of over 90%.
00:48:43.000
And the reason is because ESG investors, we have a group of entities, financial entities,
00:48:51.660
that have signed on to different initiatives globally that are saying, we have to reduce
00:49:01.040
And with that goal, then they are now cutting off capital, refusing to give capital where
00:49:07.480
it is most desperately needed in this economy, and that is in the oil and gas industry.
00:49:12.100
And that's a huge reason why we have inflation in gasoline prices.
00:49:21.060
They are saying, we want to reduce to carbon zero, so we're sending this out to the oil and
00:49:28.400
gas industry, and that message has gone through the banks and through investors.
00:49:33.360
We're not going to invest in you for finding any more oil and gas.
00:49:39.060
And then the next in line there sees, oh, oil and gas is not the future, so I've got to build
00:49:47.200
But nobody's talking about how fast this is happening and where we're going to get all
00:50:02.940
You know, we say, okay, we've got to get off oil and gas.
00:50:16.380
If we would, I would be for, not ESG, but I would be for the switchover if it was cleaner,
00:50:22.000
if we were doing, let's say, combined with, we're going to build new nuclear plants.
00:50:33.080
That's what we're getting away from, which is so dangerous, right?
00:50:36.240
Free market capitalism is essentially economic freedom.
00:50:39.480
It's the ability for you and I to make our own choices about what we buy and sell.
00:50:44.720
So you are trying to get people to understand in Utah, this is extraordinarily dangerous for them.
00:51:03.000
So because the Great New Deal wasn't able to get through Congress, that didn't stop them.
00:51:08.520
They went through, they're going through ESG, through corporate America, which bypasses
00:51:22.020
If you think about socially responsible investing, that's the idea that I'm going to avoid
00:51:27.140
certain industries because I don't want to participate in them.
00:51:37.180
That's where you are looking for a solution to a problem.
00:51:40.340
It's about funding innovation to find solutions to our biggest challenges.
00:51:47.120
ESG has really hijacked the socially responsible investing idea.
00:51:52.320
And instead of just avoiding investing, we are now going to engage in companies and engage
00:51:58.820
the market and try to change them to the view that we have, that we have to give them.
00:52:09.300
So you're on the E for energy for ESG or ecology.
00:52:16.540
You're looking at the high rate of gas prices going up and you're tying it right to ESG because
00:52:27.980
Because if you invest in that, then you may get shamed or whatever.
00:52:32.100
I mean, there's a cancel culture there and it's incredibly dangerous.
00:52:35.300
So how does this hurt the investor who has their money in some mutual fund?
00:52:43.020
Well, this year, the best performing sector in the market has been oil and gas.
00:52:51.480
So you are, by definition, over time, if you are excluding a sector or company or whatever
00:52:58.900
it is, right, you are either, you know, over a business cycle, you are either going to have
00:53:04.400
higher volatility, lower returns, or a combination of both.
00:53:08.440
And this year is a perfect example of what happens when you don't invest in oil and gas
00:53:15.100
Somebody has to look at these funds and see if they, because there's fiduciary responsibility.
00:53:21.040
They can't just do this if it's not performing at least as well.
00:53:28.400
Um, now the state, as I see this, this is the way you remember when, uh, you know, the
00:53:34.720
bathroom, the, uh, non-gender bathroom thing and what was it?
00:53:40.820
North Carolina, North Carolina, and they boycotted the state and they said, we're not going to
00:53:45.300
bring tours there, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
00:53:47.540
This is a way if you don't go along before it hits the average person and, and their choices
00:53:57.080
personally, it's going to hit the States first.
00:54:00.040
And this is a way for the state to be completely shut off.
00:54:10.620
It, it is a way we are politicizing our capital markets to the point where we are no longer
00:54:17.860
in control as a state, uh, the level of, uh, or the rate that we can borrow money in the
00:54:24.540
Utah has always had a triple a rating and all three credit rating agencies have rated at
00:54:33.920
And I've said for months that may not matter if we have some ESG score that says we aren't
00:54:39.900
doing, we might be extracting too much oil or our gun laws are too lax, whatever it is,
00:54:44.980
S and P, uh, S and P global, which is a credit rating service just said to all of the States,
00:55:01.380
So they said, okay, you have your triple a, um, but then they have an ESG score.
00:55:06.540
Even if we have a triple a credit rating because you're calling out something else that investors
00:55:12.200
can point to and say, uh, well, you shouldn't really lend to Utah at the best rates because
00:55:18.800
Forget the, uh, forget the, the credit rating, right?
00:55:23.960
It means that you, you have lost your, uh, self-determination, your sovereignty, your ability
00:55:32.560
How, how, um, because if, if, if, uh, S and P global determines for some reason or the
00:55:39.000
credit rating agencies determine that there is some risk out there, right?
00:55:43.220
That's a social risk or, or, uh, an environmental risk.
00:55:47.660
Um, and they point to that and give you a low score.
00:55:51.340
Then investors may hold back money just like what they're doing with oil and gas.
00:55:58.580
You have to borrow at a higher rate and, uh, all taxpayers in the state are hurt by that.
00:56:08.960
It's incredible how, how bad this is all encompassing.
00:56:12.720
And, uh, really, I, I personally think it's, it's evil, but it's genius.
00:56:17.380
I mean, it's well thought out and well executed.
00:56:24.640
So what are you doing, uh, in your state to stop it?
00:56:29.140
Well, we're, we're, uh, I'm doing a lot of education.
00:56:32.180
Number one, um, number one thing only right around 50% don't know what it is.
00:56:39.760
People have got to understand and they've got to understand how this is different from
00:56:43.260
free market capitalism, how it actually undermines and destroys free market capitalism
00:56:47.280
because it has nothing to do with free market capitalism.
00:56:50.220
In fact, it's the antithesis of free market capitalism.
00:56:53.380
And people have got to understand how this, uh, how it hurts their returns, their investment
00:57:01.800
Uh, we look at the 2008, 2009 financial crisis and what a disaster that was.
00:57:07.640
That's a result of the government getting involved in markets and trying to determine who can get
00:57:14.740
And that made houses, uh, less expensive, easier to get where inflation here is.
00:57:22.520
You don't have the resources for the oil and gas.
00:57:25.480
So those resources are, uh, are, are, uh, falling behind where, and the supply supply is
00:57:35.120
And, and, and, and another thing that's so tedious about this, if you think, if you're
00:57:38.400
concerned about the, uh, environment and who doesn't want clean air and clean water, right?
00:57:46.040
Um, so in order to solve a problem, we need innovation and we've always relied on innovation
00:57:54.060
We have the best innovation record in the world and if we go down the ESG hole, we will
00:58:02.860
destroy innovation because it is a massive wealth transfer of regulation and lawsuits
00:58:09.960
and, uh, other, you know, service providers like accountants that have to do all of the
00:58:17.600
There's no wealth that has been generated by ESG.
00:58:21.100
It's, it's this reporting, um, that is being foisted on companies, public and private.
00:58:32.740
You'll be the last to be picked, but you, do you agree?
00:58:39.920
Let me, let me, let me take one minute and we'll come back.
00:58:42.380
Last time the Tuttle Twins gave away a free book for their incredible series, 17,000 people
00:58:49.960
Uh, I think this book is a must and it is free.
00:58:58.160
Uh, just because I think it's so important for your kids to have.
00:59:01.240
This is from their series, the Tuttle Twin and their six, uh, spectacular show business.
00:59:10.500
This will teach your kids what capital, uh, means, um, you know, how, how supply and demand
00:59:18.460
works, how the sales strategy is, has to be balanced with the budget cost, et cetera, et
00:59:24.380
It teaches your kids how business works and it does it in a really fun way that really
00:59:39.160
You can get this book for free right now, Tuttle Twins and their spectacular show business.
01:00:09.960
Marlo Oaks, who is the Utah state treasurer who had a, uh, Wall Street Journal piece, uh,
01:00:14.700
out recently, and he is now meeting, uh, with different states, different leaders here at
01:00:20.640
our studio compact, uh, complex, uh, over at the American journey experience.
01:00:25.660
Um, he's, um, he's meeting with the Heartland Institute regarding ESG.
01:00:31.320
So we were talking about how this is going to affect the average person.
01:00:36.420
So, so we have a co-op power company, the co-op, meaning there's five different cities
01:00:48.300
And recently the insurance broker was approached by the current insurance underwriter for
01:00:58.920
And they said, we are no longer going to underwrite the automobile business of the co-op.
01:01:07.120
Because it is coal power, coal generated power.
01:01:18.460
I mean, I, I tell people this, this is like, uh, putting economic sanctions, American companies
01:01:29.560
In war, you, you do economic sanctions against other countries.
01:01:33.160
Now we have American businesses doing it to American businesses.
01:01:41.020
They, they have to control our behavior in order for us to get to the net, net zero.
01:01:48.520
I'm, I'm sorry to, uh, cause I'm so ignorant on this.
01:01:51.400
Wouldn't the commerce clause have something to do with this?
01:01:54.380
The government is supposed to make sure that commerce flows freely and that's not what this
01:02:01.480
In fact, it, it is, it is really substituting our pluralistic institutions.
01:02:07.640
When what I mean by that is the market is our most pluralistic institution because we
01:02:12.760
have individual players, individual people that participate in the market all with a different
01:02:19.920
And we are trying to conform everybody's view to one, right?
01:02:27.620
And that destroys the pluralistic system that we have and leads to centralized control.
01:02:36.900
What, what can people do or how can, what can people do?
01:02:41.540
Well, number one is that we've got to get money out of the big institutions that are driving
01:02:50.580
Those institutions have consolidated so much power and they've essentially hijacked passive
01:02:56.080
investing and made it active, uh, to, to drive this agenda.
01:03:00.440
So if your money is in one of those, you gotta, you've tried to get it out.
01:03:04.500
And, and that may, that includes talking to your company.
01:03:08.360
If they have a, you know, a retirement system at your company, you've got to tell them that
01:03:12.940
you do not want your money politicized and that you've got to have your money, uh, managed
01:03:19.580
Number two is if a business is doing something that you consider offensive, like politicizing
01:03:27.140
Don't just stop doing business with them, call them and tell them why.
01:03:31.080
And conversely, if a business is not politicizing things and you appreciate that, then call them
01:03:38.000
The last thing you can do is actually buy a share of a company and show up to their annual
01:03:42.940
meeting and start asking them tough questions about why they're doing certain things.
01:03:52.040
And if, I mean, there's never anything we can do to, to help, um, the people need to know
01:03:57.880
what it is and we need strong leaders like you that will put it through.
01:04:03.160
Thank you for your help in educating people on this.
01:04:05.280
Uh, Marlo Oaks, he is the Utah state treasurer more in just a minute.
01:04:21.500
Do something nice for your neighbor day or something like every day is something I like
01:04:29.480
But this is, uh, do something nice for your neighbor.
01:04:33.620
Um, the tunnel to towers foundation helps our veterans and helps our first responders.
01:04:43.680
If he has small children, his mortgage is taken care of, not by the federal government or by
01:04:49.180
the state, but by average people who are joining and, uh, and giving to tunnel to towers.
01:04:56.320
If somebody is living on the streets and they were a vet and get them off the street and get
01:05:02.280
them a mortgage free home base, a tiny home through operation home base, they do a lot of
01:05:13.160

01:05:43.160
This is the Glenn Beck program right across, uh, the brickyard here at the, um, studio complex
01:05:59.160
Uh, we have something called the American journey experience and it's run by, uh, Mercury one
01:06:05.720
and it is our history and education center and we do education with pastors.
01:06:12.760
I just spoke to about, I think 60 or 80 pastors, but just a few weeks ago, um, we were educating
01:06:19.940
them on, uh, you know, American history and how important their role is.
01:06:26.940
In fact, we have the American journey experience summer Institute, uh, which is, I believe, yeah,
01:06:35.540
It's a hands-on experience to study original historic documents.
01:06:40.500
You'll get specialized, uh, teaching and instruction and the opportunity to really understand American,
01:06:52.240
You'll also learn how to question, uh, that's where we start is just, what do you think,
01:07:04.620
And I think at this, is it just, uh, one week, yeah, one week sessions.
01:07:16.380
And you can, uh, have your 18 to 25 year old apply.
01:07:22.840
Um, there's a, there is some hurdles that you have to, you have to cross American journey
01:07:28.680
experience.com slash summer Institute for college age, uh, people.
01:07:35.140
It is the American journey experience.com summer, uh, hyphen Institute.
01:07:42.220
Just go to, just go to the American journey experience.com and you'll find all of the,
01:07:51.600
Uh, she is over on the brickyard at our, uh, at our, uh, education center now with a bunch
01:07:59.560
That are, uh, representatives and senators, state senators from all over the United States.
01:08:06.940
And I wanted to bring you in and you fought against it, um, but I wanted to bring you in
01:08:11.440
because, um, you and, uh, and gay, uh, gay and de Morda, de Morda were phenomenal up
01:08:26.460
And I have said, are you up for reelection by any chance?
01:08:33.500
I have said, everyone needs to know where your candidate stands on ESG.
01:08:39.320
And if they're not warriors, then they should not be in office.
01:08:44.720
This is so critical that we rid ourselves of ESG at the state level.
01:08:49.220
And Barbara, uh, you and gay and were, is she running for reelection?
01:09:06.180
Please, please, um, get these things, uh, done.
01:09:14.160
He has decided to retire and it's a great loss to the Senate.
01:09:17.080
He was, he was fantastic, but you guys were the warriors, uh, on this.
01:09:21.460
Now tell me where it stands because we didn't anticipate the banking lobby coming in.
01:09:29.160
It, uh, you know, what, what people don't understand, and you had mentioned it right
01:09:33.720
before you had come, you came in to meet with us, to meet with our leadership.
01:09:37.660
And, um, you know, it was, our people were fired up and, and part of what we are doing
01:09:42.940
is we're all learning about ESG and getting that legislation out there is the legislation
01:09:49.220
A little time passed and we were getting up against the end and yeah.
01:09:53.560
So then we had, you know, some of the bankers come out and I, they don't understand what's
01:09:58.380
It's so much like all the other legislation that goes national, right?
01:10:01.620
You know, whether it's legislation I've written that, uh, people come out with their talking
01:10:07.520
And so we, we just didn't have the time I believe to educate them.
01:10:11.580
And it's, you know, the gentleman whom you just had on from Utah, he has done a phenomenal
01:10:15.520
job educating his bankers in Utah and we are going to work to bring him to Idaho to help
01:10:21.820
with our bankers because, you know, sometimes they need an authority that speaks their language,
01:10:27.020
And that's what we're going to, and he's, oh man, he was awesome.
01:10:30.120
That's why, that's why these treasurers are so important because if they're good, you
01:10:34.820
know, they've come from the business world, they've come from the banking financial world
01:10:38.420
or the investment world and they can explain it and speak the language.
01:10:42.740
That's what we're going to do so that they can be mano a mano speaking that language to
01:10:48.000
You were, weren't you the one, was you the first in America to pass the, or bring the
01:10:58.860
I was the, uh, you know, the author, the one to promote the fairness of women's sports.
01:11:02.220
And now I've been able to help as, uh, 15 other States have been able to pass it.
01:11:06.800
I've testified personally in three States or four States over the last two years.
01:11:14.300
And it's been a phenomenal experience there, Glenn, just to see people stand up and, and
01:11:20.340
Cause the fact that girls and boys are different.
01:11:25.660
I mean, if you want to be a boy on a girl's team, fine, then there needs to be a special
01:11:33.600
Girls can not, I mean, if, if they were playing football, every dad of the boys, every dad
01:11:42.660
would be on the sidelines going, Hey, Hey, Hey, she's getting hurt.
01:11:47.240
Cause you can't, you cannot take on these huge boys.
01:11:54.980
Oh, and, and, you know, some of the mantra that the left is using, it's amuses me.
01:11:59.440
And I use it now in my testimony that, you know, it's about the humanity and the community
01:12:04.820
And it's, it's not about that at all, because if it was, then players wouldn't get cut and
01:12:13.640
So it's simply, yeah, we're not, but we don't, I mean, it's so funny.
01:12:17.180
Texas is very different when it comes to football.
01:12:23.700
My, my son was, he's in a, he's on a football team in a small school.
01:12:28.340
And, uh, one of the schools he played brought a, I think it was like a, a civil war cannon
01:12:36.700
And every time they, they scored a touchdown, the cannon went off.
01:12:42.300
I tried to bribe the guy to do it for us, but he wouldn't do it.
01:12:48.460
So, um, talk to me a little bit about the governor's race.
01:12:53.720
You know, it's, it's, uh, to be quite honest, that race is, it's been pretty contentious
01:12:59.560
and my race, uh, Glenn has been just busy enough.
01:13:03.960
And I mean, I've had to deal with a lot of mistruths, so I've really been enamored in
01:13:12.760
Here is my impression of, of God, a governor little, right?
01:13:32.840
I didn't know anything about it, but I called one of my friends in the bank and I think I
01:13:37.920
have, uh, last night and I think I have a pretty good handle on it.
01:13:41.120
Yeah, I bet he does after calling his friend at the bank, but he does.
01:13:45.320
I said, wow, it took us two years to, uh, to be able to do that.
01:13:50.240
Well, heaven knows if, uh, governor little is our little where, I mean, our governor, then
01:13:54.060
we're going to need him to get this ESG stuff passed too.
01:13:57.420
So whoever our governor is, you know, um, I know that you're for whoever wins.
01:14:03.400
I am for whoever will help us advance and get this passed.
01:14:07.020
Cause you know, one thing you said to us, Glenn, and, and, uh, the, again, the, um,
01:14:11.280
gentleman, uh, Mr. Oaks that you had had on here, he can speak this language with you
01:14:18.360
And what you just said, and it's, it's taken me reading and, and I don't know, even know
01:14:22.360
what, you know, gay and, for example, got your great reset and immediately started listening
01:14:26.620
to it, you know, and she told me she listened to it like four times and we're starting to
01:14:31.040
really understand and that, and that's what I'm working on.
01:14:34.000
But the one thing I understand, and this is a language that I understand more than anything,
01:14:39.100
I understand that it is the reconstruction and the deconstruction of our constitution.
01:14:44.100
That alone tells me, it should tell everyone who loves this country that's wrong because
01:14:49.360
you don't even know what the new government will be.
01:14:52.080
So, but you know, you're not going to be in charge and you know, you're not going to have
01:14:55.740
So people, you've got to speak up at the very least, understand that our constitution
01:15:03.260
Thank you so much for everything that you are doing.
01:15:06.380
And I, I appreciate you left the meeting and come over and I know it was against your
01:15:21.120
First, let me tell you, oh, by the way, we have the mom on of the kid.
01:15:28.920
I think it's in Colorado of the elementary school kid that was, uh, told by a teacher,
01:15:36.800
Hey, you should join this, you know, gay, lesbian, bi, trans, whatever, uh, club that we're
01:15:43.400
And in the club, Hey, don't share this with your parents.
01:15:48.240
Uh, and the girl was told that if she's not completely happy with her body and let me just
01:15:54.220
leave it there, do you know any woman who's completely happy with their body?
01:15:58.800
Cause I've never met them and I've met supermodels and I've never met them.
01:16:04.740
Uh, but if you're not 100% comfortable, uh, young ladies in your body, it's probably because,
01:16:14.980
We have that mom on with us in just a few minutes.
01:16:17.800
Not only is the federal reserve affecting interest rates, they're also bringing out a
01:16:24.260
And that hurts the consumer that hurts you and your wealth and your spending.
01:16:28.680
You know, what really pisses me off about all this stuff is when I'm looking at investing
01:16:33.680
in something, all I want to do is I've worked hard for my money.
01:16:41.740
If I could put it in a bank or something, just wait, can I have the money that I earned
01:16:57.480
The fed's going to do the treasury's going to do stock market.
01:17:02.400
American financing knows that you need to take action right now to save as much money
01:17:11.640
And if you have high interest credit cards that you're trying to pay down, maybe the
01:17:16.040
best thing to do is look at the equity that you have in your house, which, by the way,
01:17:24.160
Take that equity and turn it into cash to pay off those credit cards.
01:17:28.480
It's better to pay 5% interest than 19% interest.

01:18:13.880
Pat Gray is sitting in for Stu, who is having some really extensive plastic surgery done.
01:18:23.620
I, you know, we didn't want to say anything, and because it's-
01:18:30.520
Because it really bothers him, you know, his eyes and-
01:18:51.260
I've heard that from other people, that they're good, but I don't know.
01:18:54.200
We'll see, I guess, when it comes back in a week.
01:18:59.400
I will tell you that I was inspired this weekend.
01:19:04.860
Sincerely inspired at the Climate Change Summit.
01:19:19.120
She turned me around, because I thought, I don't want to be alone.
01:19:25.260
That is especially true when it comes to the climate crisis, which is why we will work
01:19:30.400
together and continue to work together to address these issues, to tackle these challenges,
01:19:41.020
Operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements that we will convene.
01:19:53.780
This is a matter of urgent priority for all of us.
01:20:07.600
Do you think she's like, oh, crap, I'm in one of those traps?
01:20:16.240
She seems completely unaware that she keeps saying work together five times in one paragraph.
01:20:23.020
I saw somebody say, it is like, it is like watching somebody in high school that did not
01:20:35.800
And so they just keep saying the same thing over and over, just in a slightly different
01:20:46.740
I don't have any idea what this meeting is about, except we all have to come together
01:20:56.380
So I don't know what we're talking about, but I want to talk to you about working together.
01:21:01.020
What we're doing here, working together, we are going to, we're going to start working
01:21:05.960
together on working together because it's when we are together working together.
01:21:13.960
The sky's, the sky's unlimited on what we can really do when we work together.
01:21:21.200
And that's why I think working together is so important for the children.
01:21:34.060
A lot of, a lot of things, you know, speaking of that, just a real quick, my wife won't
01:21:40.620
Uh, she still listens to Michael Jackson from time to time.
01:21:44.420
Which has made me, you know, I've checked her closet from, you know, I'm just like, are
01:22:01.920
We're working on the Michael Jackson thing together.
01:22:04.460
But, uh, you know, I just, I just happen to, you know, just again, happen to hear, uh,
01:22:11.440
And I kind of question all of us, you know, how we knew about the closet that was a little
01:22:22.620
play thing with the Jesus juice and the little kids.
01:22:26.400
And then he wrote a sexual song about keeping it in the closet.
01:22:32.360
And I'm, I mean, I think I should have bet on another country at that point.
01:22:38.960
At that point, we should have said, yeah, America will collapse.
01:22:47.960
That's God saying, guys, if you can't figure it, it only gets harder from here.
01:23:37.980
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:23:50.100
I have a disturbing story to share with you from a Colorado mom who, who has a 12 year
01:23:59.220
She was invited by an art teacher to an art club at school.
01:24:10.160
We all know what that is, of course, GSA, a gender and sexuality alliance club.
01:24:25.440
The speaker said, if you're not 100 percent comfortable in your own body, maybe it's because
01:24:43.820
This is a disturbing story because it's happening absolutely everywhere.
01:24:48.520
But it's a good story because people are standing up.
01:24:52.560
And I think this Colorado mom has more allies than she can even imagine.
01:25:02.960
OK, you know, I was talking last hour about how how wrong inflation is.
01:25:10.200
And when you take away the free market and you replace it with a Fed driven market, which
01:25:17.940
is what our stock market was, once the Fed stops pouring money into it, what happens?
01:25:28.700
So if you had money in the stock market, you lost a lot, a lot.
01:25:41.160
If you have stuff in your bank account because of inflation, that's losing money.
01:25:45.940
I just would like to have the money I have earned over my lifetime.
01:25:53.280
But the Fed's not helping you, neither is the Treasury or the federal government.
01:25:57.140
In fact, we are looking at real, real problems.
01:26:02.320
I want to talk to you a little bit about silver.
01:26:05.720
Remember, the Biden's plan now is to spend another trillion dollars during hyperinflation
01:26:15.000
Silver went from 12 marks an ounce to five hundred and forty four billion marks per ounce.
01:26:23.660
It wasn't so long ago and it could happen again.
01:26:27.000
Goldline has some of the most sought after silver products in the precious metals market.
01:26:32.100
Find out about the new Ben Franklin Silver Rounds.
01:26:38.540
Goldline is giving away silver maple flex bars with qualifying orders of the Ben Franklin
01:26:55.300
Call them eight six six gold line eight six six gold line or gold line dot com.
01:27:01.240
OK, let's meet this this poor mom, Erin Lee, full time working mother of three.
01:27:16.860
I read your story and I just honestly, I am glad this isn't happening.
01:27:23.220
My children, because I don't think I have the restraint to be a decent human being if this
01:27:36.500
So last year, my shy, vulnerable, barely 12 year old daughter who had just moved to a
01:27:42.080
new school at the height of covid protocol was recruited by her art teacher and her homeroom
01:27:50.860
We gave our permission for art club when she got there.
01:27:54.140
It was actually GSA or gender and sexuality awareness or alliance club.
01:27:59.120
And the teacher had invited in a completely unqualified outside presenter who did unthinkable
01:28:12.020
She used flags to describe defining words, telling them that if they're not fully comfortable
01:28:17.620
in their bodies, that means they're transgender.
01:28:20.300
And then she would hand out the flags and stickers and bracelets and other swag.
01:28:25.120
She told them that queer is a label for when they're still figuring out their sexuality.
01:28:29.660
She did the gender bread person, which explicitly asks kids who they're sexually attracted to.
01:28:36.180
So 11, 12, 13 year olds with peers and adults in the room talking about their sexuality.
01:28:43.260
She handed out her personal contact information and invited them to connect on team chat platforms
01:28:49.860
like WhatsApp and Discord, where she knows that parents are not monitoring the conversation.
01:28:55.040
And she told them that families might not be safe and it's okay to lie about where they are.
01:29:00.860
And in fact, the art teacher, as my daughter was leaving the room that day, pulled her aside
01:29:05.560
and said, remember, you don't have to tell your mom.
01:29:21.060
So, thank God, my daughter got in the car and I could see on her face when I picked her up
01:29:28.560
And so we probed and we're really fortunate that she told us what happened.
01:29:32.300
We've seen all kinds of horror stories about teachers and presenters like this leading kids
01:29:37.340
down this transgender path, you know, leading them into medical transition.
01:29:41.960
So we're lucky we caught it right when it happened.
01:29:46.020
Somehow remained calm enough to follow the appropriate channels.
01:29:49.480
I mean, we were livid, we were confused, we didn't even believe this was real at first.
01:29:55.500
So our first step was to contact the woman who gave her personal information to my child.
01:30:05.140
And so we demanded a sit down with the principal and he confirmed that this, in fact, happened in secret,
01:30:09.880
that they always hold this meeting in secret because as a public school,
01:30:16.020
So essentially a safe space from their families.
01:30:22.500
When I finally got a sit down with the board member, it turns out she's best friends with the woman who came into the classroom.
01:30:30.640
This woman has an organization called Skittles for kids 5 to 11 to talk about their sexuality and gender identity.
01:30:37.800
And our school board member volunteers with Skittles.
01:30:41.320
So we realized, and again, those FOIA emails showed that they immediately colluded.
01:30:46.180
When I objected to what happened, they immediately colluded with the school board to keep me quiet.
01:30:50.240
They referenced parents who find out as barriers that the school board has removed.
01:30:54.580
They talked about sending social services into my home because I didn't like what they did with my child.
01:31:06.960
But when they actually suggest that maybe we need to do a well check on this child, basically internally saying, is there something that the school district can do to put this parent in their place?
01:31:21.660
Maybe they're being abused, this child's being abused, or maybe because they are transgender and the parent doesn't want to admit it.
01:31:37.640
And my daughter had never expressed gender dysphoria before.
01:31:41.040
She never expressed that she'd had any trouble at home.
01:31:45.320
I never spoke to any of the people that did these things before they decided to talk about calling CPS.
01:31:50.860
I think they knew we were at our most vulnerable moment as a family that they caused.
01:31:56.280
And in the state of Colorado, if my child had said to CPS that I wasn't affirming her transgender identity, I firmly believe they would have removed her from the home.
01:32:05.400
And the people knew this, right, when they suggested that CPS come to our home to remove our child.
01:32:10.440
And if our child is not under our care, then they have full control of her brain and her heart.
01:32:18.520
Can you believe you live in the United States of America?
01:32:20.860
You know, Colorado is off the rails in particular, but this is happening everywhere.
01:32:28.280
I mean, this isn't just unique to California and Colorado.
01:32:30.840
This is happening in conservative states and conservative communities.
01:32:34.620
This kind of secretive sexuality programming and vilifying parents, you know, assuming that parents are evil until proven innocent.
01:32:53.680
We got a lot of false promises from school administration.
01:33:02.700
They realize the repercussions that could potentially happen and it's happening right now for them.
01:33:08.220
And they tried really hard to keep me quiet by making false promises.
01:33:11.520
But my FOIA requests and their actions show me that it was just gaslighting.
01:33:16.700
So, do you have any other parents that are standing with you?
01:33:22.440
You know, it felt for a long time like I was alone on an island with this issue.
01:33:26.400
And I wanted to believe it was an isolated incident.
01:33:29.080
And the more we've looked into it, we realize just how deeply this agenda runs in our school district.
01:33:36.620
The teachers unions are involved at the local level, at the state level.
01:33:41.560
So, we realize that this is an issue that isn't going away.
01:33:46.180
The teachers unions, can you tell me about the involvement of the teachers unions?
01:33:50.700
Yeah, well, they're just deeply involved with our school board, with our decisions.
01:33:55.440
The woman who was in the classroom, this outside presenter, is an employee of the county health department.
01:34:01.440
We have proof that she's had multiple meetings with the local school board president.
01:34:08.760
So, we've just realized that they're all deeply entrenched with each other.
01:34:15.280
I know your child is out at a Christian school doing fine now.
01:34:21.620
Yes, and I have a second grader who remained in the school district for the rest of this year
01:34:26.220
who will now be moving to a charter school that was founded on, you know, the principles of parental rights.
01:34:41.500
We have to speak up, especially at the school board level, and let them know that what they're doing isn't okay.
01:34:50.260
Other parents need to get their kids out of this district.
01:34:53.500
And so, I continue to sound the alarm because we tried every other avenue, and it didn't work.
01:34:59.600
I mean, we contacted the police after this happened.
01:35:02.320
Had it been on a playground, that would have been my first call.
01:35:04.860
The only reason I remained calm is because it was with a trusted teacher in a closed setting,
01:35:09.100
and I didn't fully understand everything that happened.
01:35:11.660
But the police indicated that because there was no exposure of body parts or physical touch,
01:35:18.180
But our sheriff did tell me I need to get loud, because just because it's not illegal doesn't mean it isn't wrong.
01:35:24.200
And other parents deserve the opportunity to protect their children like I couldn't.
01:35:33.660
What town are you in, or what district are you in?
01:35:36.540
So, I'm in the Poudre School District, which is Fort Collins, Colorado.
01:35:41.100
We live in a small suburb outside of Fort Collins, only about 10,000 people.
01:35:54.000
Some of those FOIA emails revealed that they realize this is a conservative community,
01:35:58.780
and so they're going to target it and put as much programming in place as they can.
01:36:03.240
The week after this happened, this same woman was in our Boys and Girls Club with elementary-age students.
01:36:10.620
And some parents found out and raised their concern.
01:36:13.020
Now she's been removed from Boys and Girls Club, but she's in our libraries.
01:36:17.080
So, how can this be in a conservative community?
01:36:24.380
I think it just has all been so secretive, and that's their intent.
01:36:27.980
And again, in those emails, you can see that they said how we deal with this parent sets a precedent moving forward.
01:36:32.940
So, they knew that, you know, they didn't want anyone to find out.
01:36:36.240
And as soon as I found out, they knew that there would be some serious repercussions,
01:36:42.160
But now that this has gained so much attention, there's a lot of people in the community who have spoken up,
01:36:46.920
and a lot of parents who have had the same thing happen.
01:36:51.960
the same thing happened with the same teacher in that school.
01:37:04.800
Who still teaches, and who is still the GSA sponsor at that school.
01:37:11.120
I mean, because of the teachers' unions, you'll never get rid of them.
01:37:21.860
And I, my children's school really, you know, doesn't have, you know, the arts in their school.
01:37:28.140
It's an academic school, so they don't do the arts very well.
01:37:34.320
But I would never put my kid in that art class with an, I think that's an unsafe teacher.
01:37:41.560
When I can't, when I can't go and meet with a teacher and know that I'm hearing the truth about what my child is doing,
01:37:52.880
These people think, you know, like Joe Biden said, that these are their children while they're there.
01:38:05.720
That's the assumption that these children belong to them.
01:38:08.860
And since this happened, our school has hired three administrative staff, a chief academic equity, diversity, inclusion office.
01:38:30.500
But her job description literally says coaching students, advancing LGBTQIA programming, and increasing gender support plans.
01:38:51.200
If it's happening in Fort Collins, it's happening everywhere.
01:38:55.000
And what's really disturbing is she's saying, no, we were targeted because we are a conservative district.
01:39:04.100
A deep spring cleaning can do wonders for your home.
01:39:08.960
But where you really take things to the next level is in the updates.
01:39:19.140
Blinds.com has both the expertise and the vast selection necessary to help you find the perfect window treatments for your home.
01:39:25.840
By the time they're done with you, it's going to make it look like your entire house got an extreme makeover.
01:39:31.080
They have indoor and outdoor products, so your deck and patio can look as amazing as your interior of your house.
01:39:37.560
And they make the whole process easier than ever by giving you access to expert design consultants for free.
01:39:44.220
And local pros who handle the installation, which, by the way, comes at one low cost, no matter how many windows you do.
01:39:51.380
So, number one retailer of custom window coverings online.
01:40:04.400
And through May 17th, all solar and roller shades are 40% off.
01:40:28.600
She's a full-time working mom of three and now has another full-time job of just trying to figure out what's happening in her school and school district.
01:40:37.700
I have to tell you, I have to tell you, these teachers' unions, if you are a teacher and you are still paying your dues, and I, parents, start telling your teachers this.
01:40:51.180
If you are still paying dues to a teacher's union, you don't have to belong to, you're part of the problem.
01:40:59.700
I don't care how great you are, how trusted you are.
01:41:03.440
I cannot trust you if you're still helping fund this kind of stuff.
01:41:15.620
So, you were saying this new gender equity consultant at the school is doing something that I don't think I've heard of.
01:41:35.020
So, I'm not shocked that you haven't heard of them.
01:41:37.340
But everyone needs to be aware because they do these everywhere.
01:41:44.200
These gender support plans are essentially transition plans for children.
01:41:54.460
The gender support plans have verbiage for the educators to gauge parents' support.
01:41:59.560
And if the support is low, they don't tell them.
01:42:01.780
And it's happening in our elementary schools here.
01:42:03.940
And this person was hired to increase gender support plans.
01:42:07.600
So, secretly transitioning kids in our public schools.
01:42:30.640
And then, if you want to protect the kids, you know, their identity while they're doing it.
01:42:37.620
How can they transition and keep it from the kids at school?
01:42:48.780
This LGBTQ coordinator and our director of student services and other school staff have directed all nurses in our district to, first of all, if a child comes to you for anything, ask their pronouns.
01:43:00.660
So, if a kindergartner has a tummy ache, first question is, okay, what's your pronoun?
01:43:07.260
But they've also been instructed to not tell parents if a child is suicidal, cutting, or is something suicidal.
01:43:16.220
So, now we're giving suicide attempts from parents as well.
01:43:25.780
So, if we tell parents that this child is suicidal, it's going to make it worse.
01:43:37.060
Vote for people that will give school choice and the money will follow the children.
01:43:48.740
Erin, you contact me any time that you need some backup reinforcement.
01:44:36.400
Credit card debt is incredibly sensitive when it comes to rate hikes.
01:44:40.360
It's already, you know, usually the debt with the highest interest rate to begin with.
01:44:57.120
Everything you do right now should be trying to get yourself out of debt.
01:45:02.160
May I recommend, taking a few minutes out of your day today, call American Financing for a free mortgage review.
01:45:09.340
Right now, mortgage rates are in the fives, but they're fixed rates.
01:45:13.720
So you can spend less on interest and get out of that debt much, much faster just by doing a cash-out refinance.
01:45:22.580
Could mean saving up to $1,000 a month in monthly savings without having to restart your mortgage term.
01:45:41.260
You can check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every day, live, 7 to 9 Eastern, or anytime, anywhere you get your podcasts.
01:46:13.820
On tomorrow's program, we're going to cover the school, the Wisconsin middle schoolers that have been accused of sexual harassment
01:46:22.160
because they refuse to call a student, they, them.
01:47:01.800
Just so you know, America, this is a very personal interview because Brian is running to be the representative in my district in Idaho.
01:47:21.780
And you should know that all over the country, but here is a great example.
01:47:29.380
They are trying to get rid of a lot of our dams for power reasons.
01:47:34.600
You know, the fish and I like them for power reasons.
01:47:38.380
But also, we get all of our farming water from the reservoirs.
01:47:43.400
And if you get rid of the dams, that's going to be a problem.
01:47:46.180
And I know they're not talking about it in the lower part of the state, but the Republicans, some of the Republicans are actually talking about getting rid of some of the dams, right?
01:48:03.160
No, Mike Simpson, the guy who wants to breach dams.
01:48:13.900
So, it would destroy the water transportation system from Lewiston, Idaho, out to Portland.
01:48:23.720
There are 3,000 Idaho grain growers that ship their grain, the equivalent of about 880 semi-truckloads a week.
01:48:35.740
It would also destroy clean, emission-free hydroelectric power for about 800,000 homes.
01:48:43.840
That's enough electricity for the entire state of Idaho.
01:48:48.140
And it will threaten to increase electrical rates for all ratepayers.
01:48:55.260
I can see why they might be voting for your competitor there.
01:49:04.960
So, I ran in 2014 against Mike Simpson because he was just too liberal, and he's accomplished the impossible.
01:49:13.080
He's gotten far worse, so I'm running against him again.
01:49:21.780
I've been involved in the Idaho political, you know, the Republican Party.
01:49:25.880
But I've never been elected to anything by the public.
01:49:31.800
Do you have any idea what you'd be getting yourself into?
01:49:36.140
I mean, I have so many friends that go to Washington, and they're like, Glenn, I thought I knew.
01:49:40.920
It's, I mean, it's evil what's happening now in Washington.
01:49:51.260
I don't know, teenagers might be less frustrating, and I know how frustrating they are.
01:50:02.140
So, Brian, the big issues that you are looking into, first of all, ESG.
01:50:09.460
Do you know about it, and are you for, middle ground, or against?
01:50:18.220
It is basically, it's basically credit scores for social thinking, and I totally oppose that.
01:50:25.960
And what is the, so far, so good, what is the biggest issue that you feel you have to tackle?
01:50:35.500
Well, first, from our state, Mike Simpson's just been a terrible career politician.
01:50:41.960
He's voted for things that are just totally contrary to the people in my district.
01:50:46.340
And so, the first thing I need to tackle is, we need to send somebody from our district who will stick up for our dams,
01:50:54.880
who will be for pro-life, somebody who's been endorsed by CPAC.
01:51:05.040
So, the first big issue for me is to have somebody actually be a conservative voice from Idaho,
01:51:11.520
speaking out against the liberals and the leftists.
01:51:13.820
And Brian, I did not realize how big of a problem this was in really conservative areas.
01:51:21.680
And your, you know, your competition is liberal, but he is a Republican.
01:51:30.580
And so, people are like, oh, no, he's a Republican.
01:51:34.780
We've got to stop these fake Republicans, these Mitt Romneys from getting in.
01:51:43.080
The, what's-his-name, Turtle Face, Pat, McConnell.
01:51:53.060
We're never going to be able to save our country.
01:51:57.080
When I ran last time in 2014, Mitt Romney endorsed Mike Simpson.
01:52:05.660
And Simpson also voted against, or he voted for the January 6th commission.
01:52:20.740
Last year in January, he co-sponsored a bill to give special transgender rights to people.
01:52:26.680
He is just bad for Idaho, and we need somebody who will speak out and represent our values.
01:52:42.860
I mean, it should be, I mean, I've heard neck and neck.
01:52:51.700
Usually an endorsement from me is a kiss of death.
01:52:54.760
So I just don't endorse people because it never works out.
01:52:58.760
I'm thinking about endorsing anyone but your competitor.
01:53:05.140
But I have heard a lot of really great things about you.
01:53:11.140
And while I don't endorse anybody, I do hope people will take a strong look.
01:53:17.000
And then when they're in the primary and they close that curtain behind them or stand up with their ballot,
01:53:22.240
they ask themselves, do you want more of this same crap?
01:53:25.880
Because the people who have been giving us this crap cannot change it.
01:53:37.760
And not just any change, but change with people who really, truly understand it.
01:53:44.220
You want a guy who's not going to fight for your water, your energy with the dams?
01:53:52.020
You can't stop taking energy at this point from your dams.
01:54:05.760
Yeah, but they're trying to save the salmon population.
01:54:11.280
And if anyone understands how broken this system is in Washington, you cannot go with Mitt Romney or Mitt Romney wannabes.
01:54:25.580
If you have those kinds of people in there, they will never do the heavy lifting of closing down agency.
01:54:34.460
How do you feel about closing down the Department of Ed?
01:54:46.660
If I had the ability to sprinkle magic evaporation dust, disappearing dust, I'd sprinkle it all over the Department of Education.
01:55:01.680
If they don't say, absolutely, if I had the power, I would dissolve the Department of Education tomorrow.
01:55:12.720
That is something that every single parent in this country should be fighting for.
01:55:18.920
Somebody that understands that ESG is going to put you right in the crosshairs and we're close to it.
01:55:30.760
Well, Brian, I thank you for calling in and I sincerely wish you the best of luck.
01:55:40.320
Remember that name, Brian Smith, U.S. House candidate.
01:55:44.920
And Brian, if you do get in, I'll be your best friend or your worst nightmare if you get in there and you start doing crappy stuff.
01:56:27.380
Tomorrow is yet another primary in more states.
01:56:39.620
Last week, last weekend, it was voting in our local town.
01:56:47.060
And I'm not going to say who I was going to vote for or whatever.
01:56:50.300
But I came home because I had been working all day, didn't have a chance, completely forgot.
01:57:15.040
Oh, as it turns out, when they when they recounted.
01:57:31.480
Please, everyone in this audience, when you get to a day where you are holding these primaries,
01:57:50.340
Did you know that kids can be target of identity theft, just like adults can school or medical
01:58:02.060
You can help protect your child's identity by limiting how you share their social security
01:58:09.760
I've had my kids under LifeLock since their birth, because when you get to, you know,
01:58:15.820
actually go out and have credit, you might find out that their credit is destroyed because
01:58:20.100
somebody was using it for years and years and years.
01:58:28.780
But they can monitor things better than you can on your own.
01:58:34.460
If you do become a victim, their restoration specialist will work with you to help fix the
01:58:41.060
One of the other reasons is LifeLock is partners with Norton, and we know how good Norton is.
01:58:50.560
Save up to 25% in your first year with promo code BECK, 800-LIFELOCK, 800-LIFELOCK, or
01:59:20.560
Oh, man, I am getting more and more angry at these Republicans and the Republican infrastructure
01:59:28.780
when they are just promoting guys like, what's his name?
01:59:37.600
This is his plan for water and the dams to save the salmon.
01:59:47.260
He wants to remove four hydroelectric dams, replacing the electricity lost, though the
01:59:54.820
article doesn't say how they're going to replace it.
02:00:02.460
So if you get rid of the hydroelectric and the coal, that's going to be fantastic.
02:00:09.540
They're going to pay communities and businesses and give American Indian tribes more power
02:00:24.940
People have been fighting over endangered salmon in the area for decades.
02:00:39.240
So you remove the hydroelectric power that's clean and efficient and renewable, by the way,
02:00:55.760
And you have to, this is happening in your state, too.
02:01:06.360
That's why, when I was talking to Brian Smith, I don't endorse anybody.
02:01:10.640
But I got to tell you, if you're not voting tomorrow, if there is a vote, if you're not
02:01:20.340
voting in the primary, you are part of the problem.
02:01:25.080
And I hope somebody, I hope your candidate loses by one, because, man, that just, that
02:01:31.900
killed me when I thought that was, luckily, six other people went out.
02:01:40.680
And anyone who is saying, we got to take down the hydroelectric dams, you know, to save the
02:01:46.720
salmon, he has no idea what time it is in America.
02:01:50.980
He, I don't know what planet that person is from.
02:02:16.620
And I'm not going to give, I just don't, because it's always a kiss of death.
02:02:30.000
You know who you should endorse is Mike Simpson.
02:02:38.480
How, how could anyone claim that they are conservative?
02:02:50.940
At this time, with everything else that's going on with energy and water.
02:02:58.080
That's, that's, you might as well be a Republican in California for the love of beat.
