Glenn Beck is back in Salt Lake City, Utah raising money for his campaign. He talks about Elon Musk's recent interview with the New York Times, why he's worried about his safety, and why he thinks the media is out of touch with reality.
00:04:53.320Elon Musk basically seemed to give him a cachet of some sort of a bunch of emails about whatever the Democrats were doing around the Hunter Biden laptop era right before the 2020 election.
00:05:10.140And he was going to go through it and kind of see what was there.
00:05:14.060It's interesting that he didn't, you know, Musk wasn't trying to do it himself.
00:05:16.960He was giving it to who he saw as a responsible journalist to go through it.
00:06:22.100I think journalist is actually less credible than blogger, I mean, especially a sub-stack blogger.
00:06:33.120I mean, oh, you mean like Glenn Greenwald and Barry Weiss and Taibbi?
00:06:41.120Yeah, I think I'm going to run in that pack, not the others.
00:06:45.720Well, I mean, you know, you listen to Barry Weiss talk about her departure from the New York Times, and she, you know, talks about how there was all sorts of pressures within the organization to not say what people believed.
00:06:57.760And, you know, they went after people who questioned the narrative the wrong way over and over and over again.
00:07:03.920So you think when you're free to do whatever you want to do, you're at least going to be honest about it, right?
00:07:09.180You're going to come out and say the things that you believe.
00:07:11.760And I think you got that a little bit from the initial Twitter files release, which kind of did a little bit of both sides-ism.
00:07:18.780You know, it was kind of saying, well, there was some stuff on both sides and there were some good Democrats and all of this.
00:07:24.640But generally speaking, what it pointed to was a real effort by the Biden campaign, as we suspected, to go after narratives they thought did not serve them.
00:07:37.260And part of that was the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:07:39.720But part of the reason why I'm not, like, all over this so far is because I don't think we have the real picture yet.
00:07:50.480You know, I think that these documents were turned over to a couple of journalists who have not had, or bloggers, who have not had the time to fully go through them and give us, you know, a moment-by-moment look as to who did what and how they did it.
00:08:07.220And it's going to take time, I think, for that to sort of marinate and go through the system.
00:08:10.960Here from 40,000 feet, here's what we discovered.
00:08:15.040Elon Musk released some of this inside information and some of the documents that showed that a couple of things.
00:08:23.920One, the FBI was meeting with them monthly.
00:08:27.680And then as it got close to the election, they were meeting with them weekly.
00:08:31.660That is troublesome, again, not something that we didn't know, but it is something that was called a conspiracy theory for a long time, that they were taking the Hunter Biden story and they were getting advice from the FBI and the people inside of Twitter were the ones that were torpedoing it with the advice from the Biden campaign.
00:09:23.960The whole world has known this was going on.
00:09:27.000And what they found was the the right will get some things, you know, on their side as well.
00:09:35.420But the disturbing part to me was it comes through personal contacts.
00:09:41.760So it is truly would you call it nepotism?
00:09:46.400You know, you've got to know somebody.
00:09:49.120And if you knew somebody in Twitter, you could get the world changed.
00:09:53.800And so you had people reaching out to their friends in Twitter, reaching out to their former co-workers, maybe hit the White House and saying, hey, look, this is a problem.
00:10:17.040So all most of the stuff that got edited was stuff that liberals wanted to be edited.
00:10:23.240And so it was not fair, as they pointed out, was not balanced.
00:10:26.360It's not like both sides did the same thing by any means.
00:10:28.960The only thing both sides did the same things, but not anywhere, you know, when it's, you know, one time for every nine times, that's, you know, yeah, not doing the same.
00:10:40.640And I think like the only thing that we still need to see here is this is one of those things that's just confirmed what we believed was going on and what and what we've had evidence of already occurring.
00:10:57.060We just it hasn't reached the level yet that is to what I expected.
00:11:02.360I've just set this to the standards so high for this, because I assume what they've done is so terrible during these election periods that we haven't seen that evidence yet.
00:11:18.360We've only seen 80 percent of what I believe was going on, not 100 percent.
00:11:22.660So here's here's why this is important.
00:11:25.600If you are in with the it crowd, the it crowd controls really the narrative still in America because the New York Times and television and everything else still is caught in that.
00:11:39.140Now, I don't know if the American people are still caught in that.
00:11:43.880But unless you get both sides talking about something, it's not going to filter down to the average American.
00:11:51.780OK, and here's here's the really interesting part.
00:11:56.880First, they said that this was a conspiracy, that that wasn't happening.
00:12:00.960Now that we have the evidence and the actual documents to show that it is that way, what do they do now?
00:12:10.260I am somebody that just I don't believe in coincidence.
00:12:14.480I just don't sometimes, you know, wow, what a coincidence sometimes.
00:12:24.880For instance, when they talked right after covid started, they were all saying the same thing and then they all started to say the new normal.
00:12:34.640And then it went from the new normal to the great reset.
00:12:38.000And everybody all of a sudden, one day, everybody's talking about the great reset as a positive.
00:12:44.040And they're not explaining what the great reset is.
00:12:46.620They're just saying we need a great reset.
00:13:03.700He's just being a public relations person to whom to quote the richest man in the world.
00:13:12.260And what does that make it sad, embarrassing, humiliating?
00:13:18.580Now, let me go through some of these things.
00:13:21.440This is the primetime editor for Mediite.
00:13:24.540Matt Taibbi went from a fierce and intrepid journalist taking aims at the wealthy and powerful to do doing mundane PR for the world's richest huckster.
00:13:44.320Bloomberg editors are great at not just because they make your work sharper, but because you can they will ask things like, hey, should you be doing PR work for the richest man on the planet?
00:14:07.940Matt Taibbi thread is a great example of overriding when you don't have the goods, but you want to admit you're just doing PR for the world's richest person.
00:14:15.820Matt McDermott doing PR for the richest person in the world should come as no surprise.
00:14:20.960The correspondent for the New York Times, CNN, Daily Beast, Huffington Post, and is a host on Al Jazeera.
00:14:27.320Matt Taibbi tweeted, Matt Taibbi, what sad, disgraceful downfall.
00:14:32.820I swear he did good work in the in the old days should be a cautionary tale for everyone selling your soul for the richest white nationalist on earth.
00:15:26.600To sell out or to be able to tell the truth that they saw without some editor going, nah, that Hunter Biden story is not really a story because it's a conspiracy.
00:16:28.800By the way, according to the Daily Wire, it looks like they may have interfered at Twitter, may have interfered in the Brazilian election as well.
00:17:01.100By coming together and working together to make sure that the little people know exactly who they should vote for and what they should think more in just a second.
00:17:16.760So I've been telling you about rough greens for a while now.
00:17:19.060It's a supplement that you sprinkle on your dog's food and it gives them critically important vitamins, minerals and probiotics and antioxidants, all the good stuff that helps them lead a happier and healthier life.
00:28:46.020So, Kerry, do you have and I you don't need to get into the details at this point because I don't want to steal the thunder of the the you know, when you when you actually file, I'd love to have you back on and talk about those facts or even an attorney.
00:29:02.840But the problem we had with the presidential election is we had a lot of smoke and no one was actually talking about the fire because they didn't have the evidence.
00:29:41.600We have affidavits from from voters who were disenfranchised.
00:29:45.560The difference between 2020 and 2022 in Maricopa County is that we were kind of caught flat footed, like, whoa, what happened there with that election in 2020?
00:29:55.380And it took a long time for people to try to pull things together, figure out what really happened.
00:30:00.160They did a lot of the same things in 2022 and then some.
00:30:03.620Our movement was so massive, they had to do the usual, you know, sly moves.
00:30:09.020And then they had to go even more obvious by basically sabotaging and shutting down Election Day operations.
00:30:15.180They punished the voter on Election Day.
00:30:17.760And the difference this time around is we had poll watchers, poll workers, observers, lawyers all over.
00:30:25.640And so we have we've got it documented.
00:30:28.080We have it documented what happened and we're ready to go.
00:30:31.380But think about how big this movement is.
00:30:33.260And I want to talk to people who are listening, Glenn, this morning, who are discouraged and say, oh, I just don't want to have to do this fight.
00:30:40.800Our movement is so big that they couldn't do just the normal shenanigans.
00:30:48.340They had to, as I said, sabotage Election Day.
00:30:51.600More than 60 percent of Election Day only polling locations had inoperable or semi-inoperable equipment, had lines that were from anywhere from two to five hour lines.
00:31:02.480We'll never know how many people were fully disenfranchised.
00:31:05.580When you pull up and you see a line snaking around a building and there's no parking and you don't have time.
00:31:11.860You know, a lot of people just said, I can't do this.
00:31:14.060I don't have four hours to give to vote, not to mention the equipment that didn't work, the toner that was missing in the ballot printers, the ballots being printed in some cases on the wrong size paper.
00:31:25.740So it misread and people being forced to take that sacred vote and put it in drawer three and hope to God that it got counted.
00:31:36.940And we have more than just the stench of this.
00:31:39.160We have evidence and we will be presenting it in a court of law.
00:31:42.780And while it's not fun and I know everyone's tired and we're tired of the fight, you know, I just say look into the eyes of your children, your grandchildren, look into the eyes of some somebody who's in their 20s and say, hey, good luck.
00:35:01.580We need to get our act together as Republicans and start being Americans, first and foremost.
00:35:07.820You know, we got word this weekend that Hobbes office colluded with big tech to silence those who spoke out in the 2020 election.
00:35:15.820And we're digging around to see how deep that went.
00:35:17.940And, you know, there are a lot of Republicans out there, including the two people, the Republicans running Maricopa County elections, who wanted to silence anybody who spoke out and questioned what happened, the veracity of our elections.
00:35:30.500We have a right to question our government.
00:35:33.860Didn't you have a an email you guys released, I think, over the weekend or maybe it was Thursday or Friday, an email from, I think, Twitter.
00:35:49.340Yeah, it was coming from the Secretary of State's office and her office was reaching out to Twitter, basically saying, hey, you know, we got a problem with this tweet.
00:40:38.480The New York Times had an interesting spin on this election this weekend, Glenn, where, if you remember, they pitched that these new Georgia voting laws would crush voting for people.
00:44:16.600All right, so we'll move on to the other conspiracy theory that the ESG thing is going to come and affect you and in some of your investments.
00:57:20.680But we better choose soon because we are losing our freedoms.
00:57:25.440And your children, my children are going to be the ones that are either dealing with this and living under this, quote, utopian, dystopian world or they're free.
00:57:41.440And we need to arm them with the truth.
00:57:44.700And the way to do that is with the Tuttle Twins books.
00:57:47.220They tell fun and amazing stories all the time where they teach your kids things like how free markets works, how how the country was truly founded, how big government will always become oppressive.
00:58:00.560There is a bigger need than ever for young people to rise up and say no to tyranny.
00:58:46.860So it's really interesting because the central bank digital currency, the CBDC, the Fed coin, if you will, was released.
00:58:58.220And they announced that they were going to put it into trial at three o'clock in the afternoon, the day before Thanksgiving.
00:59:04.320You know, when all of us are paying attention to the news.
00:59:08.020Quietly also during the Thanksgiving week, the Department of Labor finalized a rule that blows up some standard benefit plans on how to invest in your best financial future.
00:59:29.100So first of all, I want to say I almost missed this, Glenn.
00:59:31.620And it was one of your listeners who works in the industry who alerted this to me because they shoved it in, like you said, right before Thanksgiving.
00:59:38.560He doesn't want to be given a shout out because, as you can imagine why, but thank you for doing this.
00:59:44.860So basically, 50, almost 50 years ago, in 1974, something called ERISA was passed, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
00:59:53.480It basically covers retirement plans and welfare benefit plans.
00:59:57.660And basically, it says that if you are the manager or, quote, unquote, sponsor of a plan, you have to act, and this is a quote, solely in the interest, unquote, of employees and beneficiaries.
01:00:10.760So basically, in your best financial interest, if somebody is managing it, they can't put their best interest, they can't do things just off the cuff, they have to say this is going to be in your best financial interest as an employee or beneficiary of the plan.
01:00:26.220Stop for a second, because I think it's important for you to understand the money that you make, that you work so hard for, you put it away for your retirement.
01:00:38.040You are giving it to that responsibility that somebody is going to do the best thing for you.
01:00:45.420Let's sit down and talk about your plans.
01:01:26.780I mean, this was this was one of those really good laws.
01:01:29.980You know, there are a few and far between, but this is a really good thing for you to have protection.
01:01:34.300So when somebody is managing your retirement funds in a plan, they have to select, monitor, and cast shareholder votes based on your best financial interest.
01:01:47.560Now, and by the way, the Trump administration had put extra rules in place specifically around ESG.
01:01:54.620And so this was done to undo that and take it a step further.
01:01:59.900So now they're saying, well, you know, you can they can favor ESGs or something called ETIs, economically targeted investments.
01:02:08.500So you can only imagine what that would happen.
01:02:18.760It's also sustainable investing and a few other monikers to that.
01:02:23.760So basically, they're now they're now giving financial cover.
01:02:28.260And this, again, is now a Department of Labor rule, which needs to be challenged in the courts, saying that we no longer have to have your best interest.
01:02:38.360If we're managing your funds at heart, we can do whatever we want.
01:02:41.900This codifies business social credits, codifies it.
01:02:47.700If your state has not taken on E, S, and G, if they haven't done all three, then you need to either move or start a movement that gets your state to take action.
01:03:07.100No liberal state is going to take action on ESG.
01:03:14.520This this goes hand in hand with the Fed coin.
01:03:18.860This they are building structure where they take things from you and do things they want to do, not necessarily what you want to do or what are in your best interests.
01:04:33.740Well, it's Christmas and the holiday season, and that means it's time for gift giving parties, friends and family getting compliments, of course, everywhere you go because you look younger.
01:09:13.560And now let me tell you, this is my biggest worry because this is going to be a massive problem that could make Mao's five-year plan look like kindergarten.
01:09:27.620Yeah, so, I mean, we talked about if you control the money, you control the people.
01:09:34.380But if you control the food, you control the people.
01:09:38.340So if you look at the Netherlands, it might be surprising to a lot of people that they are the second largest food exporter in the world behind the United States.
01:09:48.180I was surprised to learn that over the last couple of years.
01:09:50.860There's, I guess, something on the order of 4 million cows, 13 million pigs, 104 million chickens a year.
01:11:13.180Yeah, so he is a member, a frequent collaborator, and he's been involved in a number of things.
01:11:21.200In 2021, the government of the Netherlands, the World Economic Forum, and a few other public and private sector entities launched a food innovation hub to help transform the food ecosystem.
01:11:35.140This is, hang on, Carol, before you go on, this is something I barely touched on in my book, The Great Reset.
01:11:41.960By the way, we have part two, all of the technology and everything else that's coming.
01:11:47.020It will be releasing it after the first of the year.
01:11:50.560We've been working all year on that one.
01:11:52.480But I've been talking about the food thing as, I think, the biggest threat to all of us, because this leads to global starvation.
01:12:05.020You are messing with the number two food producer of the world, and it's coming here.
01:12:14.260It already is making its mark here and in Canada.
01:12:19.900When you say, and this is their actual quote from the World Economic Forum,
01:12:28.760we will redesign how we produce and consume food from seed to fork.
01:13:55.880Yeah, well, you know, amongst other things, they banned chemical fertilizers and they ended up with the first time in modern history with a food crisis and a complete economic collapse.
01:14:09.940You know, obviously a huge, huge issue that we watched happen real time this year based on them trying to be this model country, like you said.
01:14:21.120And their environmental score, by the way, was off the charts.
01:14:24.640Like, it was in the, like, mid to high 90s.
01:14:37.060So you've got the Netherlands, the prime minister who's tied in and is working hand in hand.
01:14:43.340And this is the second largest food exporter in the world, which means it not only impacts their population, although since they're in control, it probably won't as much, but certainly food for the rest of the world.
01:14:57.100And as you see them pushing the bugs and the crickets and, you know, all these other weird things.
01:15:02.580Because, you know, at some point, you know, when the same names pop up over and over again, you go, oh, you know, maybe that's a coincidence the first couple of times.
01:15:10.560But when it happens, like, hundreds of times, it is no longer a coincidence.
01:16:08.900Yeah, completely self-inflicted as well.
01:16:12.320And I think it just depends on how quickly they push this and how much the people are fighting back.
01:16:19.440I mean, it sounds, you know, we've seen, you know, the amazing farmers in the Netherlands.
01:16:23.580They're being courageous and brave, and they are pushing back and saying this is not acceptable.
01:16:29.940And so, you know, how that battle plays out, you know, I'm a good prognosticator.
01:16:34.840I'm not that good, but it's something to watch.
01:16:37.780And, oh, by the way, this whole idea of taking farmland out of use and conserving it, you know where else they're doing that?
01:16:44.920They're doing that here in the United States.
01:16:46.800The Biden administration is paying farmers to take away farmland and to have it and put it into conservation and stop it from being used in farming.
01:16:56.480Well, that's what's happening all through the West, especially the Mountain West.
01:17:02.980They are gobbling up land like crazy, and then you just can't use that land anymore.
01:17:09.800I know I have a ranch, and I have 1,100 acres that my cattle can go graze on.
01:17:17.760Well, after grazing there all summer, they need a little bit more land from time to time, and so they'll go up, you know, onto BLM land, Bureau of Land Management, which, by the way, you never want those.
01:17:31.280You never want people in Washington to be your neighbors.
01:18:19.880So a lot of things, the only reason I know about it is because I've been doing this deep dive, and it is utterly frightening because, you know, the other thing that you need that if you're going to have agriculture is you need water.
01:18:32.860And now Wall Street and, you know, the powers that be are trying to get into financializing water as well.
01:18:40.560So water rights, land, you know, all these things.
01:18:45.180This is going to impact the global food supply.
01:18:48.540And, you know, this is really, really scary stuff.
01:18:51.560If you think back to times when there has been mass starvation in, you know, communists and socialist countries, a lot of times it wasn't even that there wasn't enough food being produced.
01:19:02.500It was just that the intermediaries were screwing up the system so much it couldn't get to where it needed to go.
01:19:08.320Now we're talking about actually screwing up how much is being produced.
01:19:12.580I cannot think of anything that's a parallel in modern time.
01:19:17.780The arrogance, Carol, is beyond imagination for you to say, I and a group of experts all around the world, we're going to get together and we're going to show the farmers a new way to plant, feed, water, and grow.
01:19:35.460So then we're going to teach all the manufacturers and the canners and everything else what they have to do a totally new way.
01:19:42.920Then we're going to have a new distribution system.
01:19:45.820So we're going to tell the trucking and and everything else.
01:19:48.800And then we're going to tell the supermarkets exactly what they have to do.
01:19:52.560And then we're going to work on the consumer and tell them what they have to do.
01:19:57.460The arrogance of taking something that has has built over thousands of years and say you're going to change it, all of it from seed to fork in the next eight years is is beyond.
01:20:15.100I mean, I would say it's suicidal, but they'll live the rest of us.
01:23:23.360When COVID hit, I don't think I was the only one that was shocked at how much we rely on China, especially for medical stuff, how fragile the supply chain is.
01:25:12.680I believe that we were all born for a reason, that there is something each of us have to do.
01:25:21.820I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do or I was born to do, but I'm I try and I pray every day that I might get close to it or I don't know.
01:25:33.540But I do my best, and I hope you do too.
01:25:37.500You're born for a reason, and people who say, there's nothing I can do, I have too small of a voice.
01:25:47.100I think you're listening to this program for a reason.
01:25:50.760I don't know what that reason is, but maybe it's because you're a parent, and you need to hear what we're going to talk about in 60 seconds.
01:26:00.600Twitter just came out, said that 5.4 million user accounts just got exposed in software vulnerability.
01:26:49.920They have preventative measures to keep you safe, as safe as you can be, and also access to a restoration team if you do end up having all your information taken from you.
