And you will not believe the answer. It is shocking and horrifying. We give that to you on the podcast. Now, Goldline is our sponsor.

Starting point is 00:02:17 Oh, perfect. Are they? Yeah, everything's perfect. In almost every way. In almost every way. Can you think of one thing that's not going well? No. No, okay.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Not right off hand. Okay. This is why I like Pat Gray segments. Because he comes in and he's usually giving us some piece of evidence that the entire nation is going to be destroyed. Right. But he also brings Kexie cookies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Which makes me feel more. much, much better about the world being destroyed. Okay. What you could obtain for yourself at kexie.com, by the way. The K-E-X. K-E-K. K-E-K. S-I. Yes.
Starting point is 00:02:52 It is finished for cookies. So all of the Finnish population. We are huge with the Finns in America are going, yeah. Can we have the conversation that you and I have had offline in our email about Texie cookies? Yeah, you can talk about that if you want. So Pat writes me on vacation.
Starting point is 00:03:16 He's like, Glenn, nobody knows what kexy cookies, you know, kexie, they don't know how to spell. And I said, huh, who would have guessed that? Right. Who would have guessed that? Which you said from the beginning. Yeah, I've said, can you just name them the greatest cookies.com? We could know, but it's taken. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:34 I could, I'll find one for you. I'll find something for you. You know, it's like anything like that. And so he's like, we're going to change it because no way. And I said, oh, good. What are you thinking? Okay. One was like, one was, was a cow pie?
Starting point is 00:03:51 Yes. Yeah, one was cow pies. Cow pies. Because they'll remember that. They will remember that. But I don't think yummy cookies was because cow pie is cow poop. Yeah. And it might not be associated with delicious.
Starting point is 00:04:06 You know? That's my first thought. That's my first thought. Okay. What were the other name? I don't remember. Oh, yes, you do. I don't.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Yes, you do. There was another one like fango mango.com. What's ridiculous and I'm like, what is that? What is that? Put something like yummy cookies in the title. But those are the, you did that initially, and these are all, all those names are taken. People, there are other cookie companies that think their cookies taste good. They're wrong about whether they're as good as kexy cookies.
Starting point is 00:04:37 I'm telling you. I'm telling you, for a price, because I'm a very, very. very busy man. I will help you find the right name, Pat. But it's always like, you know, this was, this was Amber's doll, Goo Goo Goo Kitty. And so it really means something to the kids. So we're going to call him Goo Goo Kitty. It's like, how? No. Shut up. No, we can't talk about the email exchange. Okay. Can't talk about it? Okay. Why is the world, how is the world falling apart, Pat?
Starting point is 00:05:08 Yeah. Can we talk about that? Well, I'll tell you one way in which the email. world is fault. Do you remember the FBI raid? Since everything is FBI related now and how you can't trust them, you remember the raid they made on the big vault in Beverly Hills, California? Yeah, yeah, yeah, with all the safety deposit boxes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they took everything out of the safety deposit box and the people in Beverly Hills were like, wait a minute, I didn't have anything to do with the scam that was being run by the one guy with the safety deposit box. Why are you taking all my stuff? Right, right. Yeah. So supposedly they were after the owner of the vault. not the individuals who are placing things in the vault,
Starting point is 00:05:45 which included $80 million in cash, tens of millions of valuables. Yeah, it was over $100 million they confiscated. They took it all. It wasn't part of the warrant. They said, hey, we're just looking at the company. We're not interested in the individuals. In fact, we just want to inventory them and we'll leave them alone.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Nope, they lied. And they took everything. And almost none of those people have gotten their, their money or their valuables back. It's been five years. This is becoming insanity. And if you don't think the FBI, if they can do this to people who had $80 million in cash in the, I mean, these are not small individuals then. No.
Starting point is 00:06:32 If they can get away with it, what do you think they're going to do to you? Beverly Hills, these are people with power. With power and money. influence. Yeah. And I think that the FBI has just scared them away because nobody wants to do battle with the FBI. Who wants to do that? Well, who do you call? This is what I've, this is what I've been saying for 50 years now on the air. When the cops go bad, who do you call? So it's a problem with my local cop. Great. Kick it up to the state. If the state's bad, kick it up to the feds. If the feds are bad, there's no place to go. Where are you going? The United Nations? They ain't going to help you. I mean, the courts should be the answer to that question, right?
Starting point is 00:07:16 Yeah. But they're not. But they're not. Allowing this. Americans get this. Americans have lost more money in most of the years between 2004 and now. They've lost more money in civil asset forfeiture than have happened in burglaries. What?
Starting point is 00:07:31 The main burglar is the U.S. government. They're a bigger burglar. Unbelievable. Than burglars. I mean, it's incredible. Where does the hamburger fall on this scale? A little below what the U.S. government has taken. Have we been kidding?
Starting point is 00:07:48 Because it's the value meal he mostly steals. We all know what the FBI is, but maybe we should change their name to boobo bunny. Or people didn't know what FBI was at the beginning, right? That's what the news. You should call them boobo bunnies. Wait a minute, I don't know how to spell bureau. People figure it out of it. FBI.com.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Oh my gosh. Okay. So that's incredible. That is amazing. Did you hear this one? You know the informant that was, you know, one of the people from the FBI that was part of the sting to get the people on the, you know, Governor Gretchen Whitmer case? Okay. Apparently, one of them is a female.
Starting point is 00:08:38 she shared a bed and smoked pot with one of the men. Lawyers for Barry Croft Jr., one of the alleged ringleaders of the kidnapping plots, FBI informants, improperly coordinated with the accused. The former Jenny Plunk and Steve Robitson's unusual relationship with Croft include smoking pot with him and traveling to several of his militia training sessions, also sharing a hotel room. Now, don't know if anything. Do either of them have monkey pot?
Starting point is 00:09:08 We don't know if anything, but this is, they are entrapping. We're doing a special in a couple of weeks on the FBI and the history of the FBI. They were created dirty. They were dirty from the beginning. And then Hoover died and we had a few years where we all believed, oh, wait a minute, they can be trusted. No, they can't. They're completely out of good.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Here's the good news. And I'm going to share this in detail. There are people in the FBI that are becoming whistleblowers. There are 16 whistleblowers now at the federal level at the highest levels. That's really a good sign. Yeah. Jim Jordan made a big point that there's a lot of good people in the FBI. It's the people at the top that are screwing everything up.
Starting point is 00:10:01 The people who are in the FBI. Look, we have a lot of people who listen to us that are law enforcement. You know how we feel about you. We've always been there for you. You need to start being visible at the local level and speaking out. You need to start talking and speaking out. Even if there's nothing happening in your particular division, you need to start speaking. You can call me.
Starting point is 00:10:31 I'll put you on the air. And you could say, look, I'm in Omaha, Nebraska, and there's nothing bad that's going on here that I know of, but what's happening in Washington, D.C. is wrong. You've got to start speaking out. Really important. Really important because look how much the American people are down on the FBI right now. We've got no confidence in them. Did you see the, do you see the story where there was a shooter, an active shooter someplace in a school? It didn't lead, I don't think to a mass tragedy. But there was a shooter.
Starting point is 00:11:07 And the parents were not listening to the police. The parents just went in. And they're like, screw you. That's because. Where they were being tased, though? Right. But that's because of Yuvaldi. You now go, I don't know if I can trust them.
Starting point is 00:11:21 This is the Bubba effect. And it's happening in everything. I mean, this is, there's a really good case to be made that the, the FBI just did this raid just to piss people off. That's it. Just to lower our standard on the Justice Department, piss you off, and cause more chaos. Tell me what they have done that hasn't led to more chaos. Again, remember, this is an organization that has been telling us for multiple years that the biggest threat to our nation is right-wing extremists.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Yes, extremists, right? the oath keepers, the proud boys, all of these groups. Q&N. Q&N. They're the biggest threat to our country. Now, let's just say, let's take at their word for a minute, that they had a bunch of documents, they disagreed on it, they were very, very intent on getting these things back. They're very important.
Starting point is 00:12:19 We still don't know really what they were, but let's just say they are, okay? It was a legitimately important thing for the FBI and the government to get these documents back. If that were the case, these things. documents have been under the control of Donald Trump for a year and a half, right? If he wanted to hide them in some place where you could never find them or destroy them, or destroy them,
Starting point is 00:12:40 he could have done it a long time ago. So isn't the proper thing to do to come to the American people, even if it's through there, 964 million leaks that they've been able to do since the incident happened and go to the American people and say, hey, we've been asking for these documents.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Hey, we've been asking for these documents. Hey, we put a subpoena in. Hey, we really get, if they don't return them in the next couple weeks, we're going to have to go to Mara Lago and search the place and at least prepare the American people for something like this coming. Because out to the average American, especially to the average Trump supporter, they see him as being persecuted. Persecuted for a very long time. And then all of a sudden, out of nowhere with no notice, you show up at his house when he's not there and search his wife's underwear drawer. Check, because I believe, you know, there is a 90 day window. where you cannot do anything that could affect the election.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Okay? Did you know that? 90 days before any election, the FBI is not supposed to make any busts that could affect the election. Yeah. I mean, it's not a hard fast rule. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Right. Because the Clinton people complained about this. Yeah, one of the unwritten rules. Before 2016. Fine. Okay. So they did this like the day before the 90 day period. I mean, they, they, they,
Starting point is 00:13:58 look. Donald Trump Jr. is going to be on with us in about a half an hour. And I've got a lot of questions for him. The FBI owes it to the American people because you have zero credibility. None. You owe it to the American people to take the affidavit and release it. Donald Trump says it's fine. Now you say, well, it could hurt our investigation. I'd like to know exactly. You can't just come out and say nuclear. Do you really think that some nuclear secret is just kept in the bottom of the president's desk? A nuclear secret is something that would be in a locked briefcase that comes over from the Pentagon. You don't just say, oh, what? Is that under and or B for bombs? You don't. And there is a chain of command.
Starting point is 00:14:57 and if you leave it with the president, you would have to inform the Pentagon, I've left it with the president. Well, I know I'm not supposed to, but he's the president. He told me, okay. All right, hang on. Mr. President, someone, I have to be here with you. Someone's going to replace me in a couple of hours.
Starting point is 00:15:14 They also have to be here as long as the document is here. That's how we handle nuclear secrets. And if we don't, we have bigger problems. There's something wrong here. and Americans know it. And those Americans who don't know it, you are going to be responsible for your own children's slavery.
Starting point is 00:15:36 You cannot allow a government to have this kind of control. You know if this was happening to Joe Biden, you would be saying exactly the same stuff and you'd be calling us, you'd be calling Donald Trump, if he did it, a fascist dictator. There is a rule of law, and it must apply to both sides.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Otherwise, all of us, all of us will fall under a dictator. Pat, thank you very much for stopping by. Pat Gray unleashed. And Kexie cookie. Oh, kexie.com. You didn't even put the cookie in there. Nope. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Good. Kexie.com. K-E-K-S-I. Well, he was thinking about Kexie cookie. K-E-K-S-I-C-E-K-S-I, cookie spelled with a K, but then he thought, it might not be right. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. This is the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Welcome, honored to have Donald Trump Jr. on with us, the executive vice president, Trump organization, and author of liberal privilege. Welcome, Don, welcome to the program. How are you? I'm doing okay. Good to be with you guys. I have to tell you, I saw your father at CPAC and I sat there and I listened to him and I thought there is no one in American history.
Starting point is 00:17:06 No one who has gone through what your father and your family has gone through. And then Monday, this happens. Let me get some, let me get some just some facts here from you. first of all, they have released the warrant, but not the affidavit. Your dad has come out and said, absolutely, I insist that you release it. Any chance of that happening? Have you heard anything? You know, you see what happens. It's not our first rodeo. None of this surprises us. You know, Merrick Garland gets on TV.
Starting point is 00:17:48 They want total transparency because of, you know, and then, oh, no, we can't actually, We can't actually do that. We got the soundbite out there. We'll get our lackeys in the liberal media to run with it as though that's meaningful or real. And then they do absolutely nothing. Remember, you know, Mary Garland had no knowledge of it. Then he had knowledge and personally signed off. Then it turns out he's been weighing the decision for months.
Starting point is 00:18:10 It's all a lie. And that's the real problem is, you know, they do this stuff. Say you saw it yesterday with the passports. They took his passports, which weren't part of the warrant. They took picture books. which probably weren't part of the warrants. But none of that matters. Then they leak it to Nora O'Donnell.
Starting point is 00:18:28 No, no, no, we didn't actually do it. It takes about six seconds to disprove this stuff. You know, meanwhile, the other information and the misinformation that's put out there goes viral, and they pretend that this stuff's above board. I mean, think about it. They use the FBI's HRT, the hostage rescue team to serve this, you know, search warrant. House, I mean, I understand that three weeks ago, according to the media, you know, Donald Trump apparently, you know, choked out two.
Starting point is 00:18:58 very heavily armed and very fit young secret service agents to take over the beast to drive down to his supporters at January 6th. Now, you know, they heard that from a witness who seemed to have perjured herself when the secret service agents themselves said, hey, we'd like to testify and say that that didn't even come close to happening. You know, now they don't want to hear from them anymore. But, I mean, think about it. They use the HRT, the hostage rescue team to try to serve this warrant. Like Donald Trump's going to, you know, he wasn't in the mayor, but like, how many times did they, I mean, because they contacted your dad, he put a lock on the door where they were done at their request. Where was this in the back and forth?
Starting point is 00:19:45 I know they've been working with him for months. They said he was been nothing but cooperative. You know, all they had to do is ask. He literally said that. And they turn over whatever they're looking for because, you know, but they can't do that. They don't want to do that. They want to do it under, you know, the guys, they want to, A, create the intimidation factor, you know, of going in there with the HRT. You know, we got to really make sure that people learn not to speak out against us. You know, I don't know of an institution in America that's destroyed their credibility more than the FBI. I mean, they clearly haven't stopped anything in months. And then, you know, then they get on TV.
Starting point is 00:20:20 How dare they speak out against the FBI whose function so admirably, you know, when, you know, Peter struck in Andy McKay. go on TV and talk about integrity after, you know, lying when they sign off on faulty FISA warrants, when others literally get caught lying, they're, you know, they're back in their jobs like nothing happened because it was against Donald Trump. You know, what's going on is absolutely disgusting. It's clearly in an intimidation tactic. You know, the deep states rearing its head. And imagine, you know, the media, if Donald Trump weaponized the FBI to go after his political
Starting point is 00:20:55 enemies and did this to Barack Obama. Their heads would explode. There would be nothing else on TV for them. It's, oh, it's ho-hum, because Donald Trump is the only guy that has the guts and up to these clowns. Every other republic, you know, there's plenty of them totally silent on all of this too,
Starting point is 00:21:12 because either they see it as a window for their political future, well, you know, if Donald Trump's not in the way, maybe there's a chance for my milk toast personality to ascend to the highest level of the Republican party and serve the Democratic, Dutifully, because that's what it seems like at this point.
Starting point is 00:21:31 So, you know, all of these tactics are designed to intimidate, especially Donald Trump, and anyone else who'd have the guts to actually speak out against these people. But what's nice is, like all of the things they've done lately, it's gone so far. So much of the American public who've been politically agnostic, who've been quiet, who've been silent, like, they're watching this stuff and that they can't believe, I have Democrats. You know, don't forget, I was from New York, even though. lifelong conservative. I was from New York.
Starting point is 00:21:59 I got plenty of Democrat friends and are like, holy crap, what's going on in our government? If this was going on in a banana republic, you know, the warmongers in government,
Starting point is 00:22:08 they'd be starting a war to overthrow those governments. It's happened here. I will tell you, I will tell you that when I heard that they were going after your dad for espionage,
Starting point is 00:22:20 I, I'm, I really thought I have finally entered, you know, the Alice in Wonderland upside down. I just, I, I, your father with espionage? Yeah. It's Russia, Russia, Russia,
Starting point is 00:22:39 part 29. You know, give me a break. Like, yes, he has the nuclear codes. He probably stole the nuclear football and, you know, he's giving those things to, right? So we, when does it end? We are, maybe we'd be better off if Donald Trump still had the nuclear football because at least our enemies respect him, unlike the laughing stock that currently occupies the White House, which is frankly, you know, his personality and his idiocy is only encouraging
Starting point is 00:23:06 our enemies. But, you know, when does it stop? Does it ever, you know, it's only making me more inclined to be more aggressive, speak out further. I probably already am rather aggressive, because this stuff can't happen in America. And for our media, to sit idly by, spread the propaganda. You see what they do every time, right? Something happens. They lose control of the narrative. They leak to their usual suspects.
Starting point is 00:23:34 I want to know, you know, are the FBI agents involved in this one's, the same ones that we're looking into Hillary and the laptop and the taking of hammers to BlackBerry's and Anthony Wiener and the top secret stuff that was supposedly on his laptop? Because I wonder, do they have like just a team, a corrupt team that they used to do all of these things because one has to start wondering these things, uh, because coincidence at this point. Um, you know, and I've gone through great length, Glenn, as you know, to sort of make the distinction between sort of the, the bureaucrats at the FBI, the guys that, you know, they're lawyers. They've never carried a gun. They wouldn't know what to do with one if they did,
Starting point is 00:24:17 who have weaponized, uh, you know, that formerly great institution, you know, and the door kickers, uh, who come up to me all the time and they're disgraced what's going on in there. in their organization or the retired guys especially because they're a little bit more inclined to be vocal about it. But if the regular guys don't start speaking up, don't start functioning as whistleblowers, you know, who are definitely there's heroes and deities if they're whistleblowers for the left. If you're a whistleblower for the right, you lose your job. Someone's got to start saying something because it's getting much and much harder to defend, you know, even the rank and file at this point who, you know, again, don't seem to be.
Starting point is 00:24:57 stopping anything. They've had on the radar every terrorist in the last, every psychopath in America. They've been on their radar and yet they managed to slip through and kill people all over America. But, you know, they've certainly had plenty of time to weaponize a BS argument against Donald Trump and do so ad nauseum. I will tell you, I've got a bazillion questions I could ask you, but I'm just about to run out of time because I know you're a busy man. So let me let me go here. First of all, there are, I think, 13 or 14 whistleblowers, which is a really good sign. We need many, many more. But there are whistleblowers in the FBI.
Starting point is 00:25:38 So they haven't killed it yet, although it is on that road. The New York Times, for some reason, decided to report that your father reached out to Garland and asked how he could help reduce the heat to calm everybody down. I thought that was a great move. Yesterday he came out and said, look, the temperature is getting to a boiling point here. You know, I'll do anything I can to reduce the temperature. We are in deep trouble, and I think they are doing this because they can't find the extremists. They want to make people extremists and just keep poking them over and over and over again. What is...
Starting point is 00:26:23 Listen, it certainly sounds that. Like you saw what they did with, you know, those meth heads in Michigan, where they tried in trapping a bunch of lunatics to try to create the assassination plot of Gretchen Whitmer. And they, oh, they ran with that right before the election like it's real. You know, the three white supremacists left in America, and they found them all and they're going to, like, give me a break. These are the same clowns that say, you know, that's the greatest threat to American democracy in America. Like, where? I know.
Starting point is 00:26:52 What are you talking about? So, let me. It's ludic. I want to ask you this. I want you to leave us, if you can, with some hope. What is it that the American people should be doing? I think they are paying attention. They are calling their senators and congressmen and are not speaking out. I think Congress and the Senate needs to be very clear on this. But what is your message or your father's message to the American people who are like, I can't take it anymore? Listen, I think we have to stay in the game. I think this, you know, I think it's very purposefully a war of attrition on the other side. If they can intimidate you enough, if they can make you cause enough, you know, create enough fear. And it's certainly done that.
Starting point is 00:27:38 And I can understand why. But, you know, I think, you know, so much rests on us not letting this just slide. If they do this now and they try to weaponize it to prevent a Trump from running, which is clearly what they're doing, right? They exercise an incredibly broad search warrant. They take picture books, even, anything that they can do to try to hurt Trump. You know, they don't want his lawyer's present. You know, because if I'm doing a search warrant,
Starting point is 00:28:05 I want the lawyer's present so that there's never anything above board. Then when you question why they would do that, how dare you question it? I mean, I don't know. I've been looking at the FBI for the last five or six years. It doesn't seem like they've done anything above board lately, right? I mean, they don't get in trouble for doing the things, but, you know, they get caught, you know, manufacturing things, faulty signatures, lying, whatever it may be,
Starting point is 00:28:26 and we're supposed to still believe that this is a credible organization to actually be engaged in this process. I think we cannot let it slide. I think we cannot just say, okay, well, you know, let's just maybe put a milk toast Republican in there because that will calm things down. That gives them the win. That gives them everything that they want
Starting point is 00:28:46 because nothing will ever be done to prevent this from happening again. I think what you need, honestly, You need a Donald Trump in there and you need to actually drain the swamp. You've got to fire the bureaucrats and you need someone who has the guts to actually do that. Honestly, I don't know that that exists. But we are not beyond, we are not to the point where we are beyond the ballot box, are we? You know, I think we have to be at the point where we overwhelm the ballot box. We overwhelm the games that are played.
Starting point is 00:29:16 You saw what happened yesterday in the recall, you know, the signature ballot recall for George Gaston, you know, the Democrats in charge, they threw out 30% of the signatures, who I'm sure people, you know, they're watching what's going on in crime-ridden California, and I'm sure they were real and really signing off. So they took 750,000 signatures. They canceled about 30% of them, said, oh, now you didn't make 30%, but they want you to believe that the 2020 election, that less than 1% of the signatures of these random ballots going out to people and dozens to various, like all over the country, they want you to be less than 1% of the election. They want you to be less than one percent of those were faulty, but more than 25, almost 30 percent of the ones in the California
Starting point is 00:29:58 recall elections were faulty, right? You know, it's not like a sample size of three. You know, there's a sample size of three quarters of a million people. That was 30 percent, but over, over, you know, a hundred million people, it was less than one percent. Give me a, we, we have to overwhelm it. We have to get in there. We have to do everything we can to save our country and the republic because it is it is at stake and it is on the ballot. Donald Trump Jr. Thank you, sir. My best to your family and to your father. We are praying for him and you and the rest of the family. Thank you so much. We really appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Thank you so much, guys. The best of the Glenn Beck program. All right, where should I start? How about this one? About one third of America is now, reporting being extremely or very concerned about climate change. That's 10 percentage points less than in 2019. Okay. It was 44%.
Starting point is 00:31:17 We're all going to die in a fiery flaming flood. It's going to be so hot and then so cold and then so hot and then so cold. We're all going to die. Good thing that we won't have any. heaters or air conditioning units. Uh-huh. Now, just over half of respondents say they think their actions have an effect on climate change.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Three years prior, however, 66% say they believe their individual actions made a difference. When asked how much responsibility individuals bear for addressing the issue, only 45% said a great deal, or a lot. That percentage was 50%. Despite relative apathy, regardless of the issue. climate change, 71% do believe that it is happening. Only 11% remain disbelievers. Now, let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:32:12 People on the right are always called flat earthers. They don't believe in climate change. Of course I believe in climate change. What do you think? What was the ice age? Of course the climate changes. Climate changes for a myriad of reasons. And I'm one of them that believe that, yes, we, we probably.
Starting point is 00:32:34 probably have an effect on it too. We should do everything we can to be healthy for ourselves, our children, our posterity, the animals, the trees, the water. Nah, I tell you, what I really are thinking, I think I want the dirtiest, greasiest, just chemical-ridden water for my kids in their future. You know what I mean? Who says that? It's like a Disney villain. However, I also think the Earth is alive. No, it's not Gaia.
Starting point is 00:33:12 It's not a God. It's a living thing. And I think the Earth will destroy us when it's ready. And I also believe in a God who might do the same thing before the Earth gets around to it. I'm just saying. There are certain things you have to do. but this climate hysteria does not, if you don't buy into, we're all going to be dead by 1230 this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:33:44 If you don't believe in that, you're not a flat earther. You're a reasoned thinking human being. This is not about climate change. See, this is the real problem. This is where you separate the thinking people from the, Oh, my, people. Okay. This is where the rubber meets the road.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Should we tube the global economy, which has made the air cleaner, the water fresher, the skies cleaner, people's lives better? Should we just dump all of that? You know, if America falls, if America would fall, what do you think's going to happen to our national parks? Oh, those are going to work out? Oh, well, we're going to fall, but we're keeping the forest rangers. No.
Starting point is 00:34:54 We're going to fall, but we'll still have all those firefighters in the airplanes to put the national forest out. No. Mm-mm. Nope. We have to be reasonable. And what's happened is it has become a giant industry. And now it has gotten so bad. By the way, have you noticed the hurricanes?
Starting point is 00:35:25 The hurricanes this year. I mean, look at the fires and the floods and all the horrible, horrid, horrible, horrible, horrid, horrid, horrible, awful, awful, nasty, just life-threatening stuff that is or isn't happening. Have you noticed that the hurricane season's supposed to be the worst? We're going to wipe out by her. Nothing yet. In fact, this is the first time in seven years that a hurricane hasn't even formed in the Atlantic Basin.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Yeah, first time in seven years. That's only because the big one is coming. Black Rock, which is the key of the. behemoth of ESG and the ESG mafia has just added new people to the White House. Isn't that great? Yeah. Yeah. They're now working up the upper.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Well, we already have one as chief economic advisor to the president and another one that's a chief economic advisor to the vice president. And another one who's a chief economic advisor from BlackRock at the Treasury Department. So we have that going for us, but they're adding new people. So we've got this public-private partnership with BlackRock. And BlackRock's getting even more money today. Yeah, yeah, climate stocks going through the roof today because Biden's about to sign that $740 billion bill.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Yeah. Yeah. This is really great. I love this. But let me give you some good news. This comes today from the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal, oh, you've got to be kidding me. Did it just dump on me?
Starting point is 00:37:23 Here it is. The Wall Street Journal reports, our legendary editor, Robert Bartley, used to quip that it takes at least 65 editorials on a subject to really have any impact. Well, we know what he meant after Labor. in the vineyards low these many years to draw attention in editorials to the politicized investing that travels under the bland label ESG for environmental social and governance. Yes, it really was that quip that really pointed out that maybe they're slow to make an impact. Yeah, or people just start waking up because regular people are talking, you know, they don't say, and low, after laboring in the vineyards,
Starting point is 00:38:08 these many years. That's another way people talk, Wall Street Journal. But now people are starting to pay attention to it. And I want to give you something in the Wall Street Journal today that is extraordinarily good news. Meanwhile, an intriguing new investment alternative to ESG funds has gone public. Strive Asset Management last week announced its first exchange-rated fund. DRLL, a passively managed energy index fund designed to mimic BlackBrock's passive U.S. Energy Index Fund. Strive says it's raised more than $100 million in assets under management and has $160 million in traded volume in its first week.
Starting point is 00:38:49 We have no brief for any particular business model. Let everyone compete for the investment dollars way we said, oh, low, you're still striving. Anyway, they talk about how Strive, $100 million. Remember, when he announced it on this program, he said, if we could get it. up to a billion dollars. We're going to make an impact on the energy industry. Well, they're a tenth of the way there. This is not a commercial and not investment advice,
Starting point is 00:39:22 because I'm not being paid for this. I wish I was. I should be paid a lot. Oh, they are actually a, aren't they a new sponsor on like Blaze or something? But this isn't a commercial. Have you talked about moving some of your money that you might have an investment over to DRL. Strive?
Starting point is 00:39:45 Just look up Strive Asset Management. Yes, I have, Glenn. You've actually done it, haven't you? Yeah, I have. I did it during the interview. Yeah. I was like, yeah, screwed. I'm signing on right now.
Starting point is 00:39:53 I've got to go through my wife. It's slow. The process is committees, meetings with my wife, you know. Well, we know who runs the house. She does. She does. But I think it's a really good thing. I don't know about investment.
Starting point is 00:40:07 But this is the way to beat ESG. And they are, freaking out. It's really building quickly, too. Right? This is, oh, yeah. This is turning into a pretty big deal. Yeah, it's not just us talking about it. I'm going today to Utah, to Salt Lake, to do a meeting tomorrow with the House and the Senate
Starting point is 00:40:25 in an off session meeting about ESG. Tonight, I was supposed to just have dinner with some people. And I don't know how this happened, but it turned into like an open event because the attorney general is coming and the senator. are coming and Mike Lee's going to be there. Everybody's going to be there. All of a sudden, I think it's like a 2000 seat dinner that we're like, I just thought we were getting together with some friends.
Starting point is 00:40:51 So tonight, I'm meeting with the real activists of ESG, the people who are really truly making a difference. And that has to happen in every state. I'm really glad to see what they are doing now in Arizona. The Arizona Attorney General is now getting together with 19 other attorney generals all across the country, and they're demanding Black Rock give them answers. They have been hiding behind this and then telling investors, oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:41:24 Well, you're going to lose money for the next 10 years, you know, but it's going to be so worth it because, you know, we all really care. Look, if you care about that, I mean, that's how I'm pitching it to my wife. I don't know if it's going to make money. You know me. I have no idea. but I'd like to invest in it because I believe in America and I believe in America's energy independence.
Starting point is 00:41:44 And so if it just holds even or even if we lose a little, I'm okay. We should do that. And I'm fine with that. But don't take my retirement money. And without me knowing that you're doing that, just to sign it into an ESG program. No, no.
Starting point is 00:42:03 That is, people are waking up and they are freaked out. of their mind, which brings me to what they want to do next to stop you from listening to people like me or doing your own homework or having these very dangerous opinions. So here's what they're talking about now. World Economic Forum is becoming a little concerned. Unapproved opinions are becoming more popular and online censors can't keep up with millions of people being more aware and more vocal. The censorship engines employed by the internet platforms turn out to be quite stupid and incapable.
Starting point is 00:42:44 People are even daring to complain about the World Economic Forum. That's unacceptable. So, W.E.F. Author has come up with a solution she proposes to collect off-platform intelligence from millions of sources to spy on people and new ideas. Then merge this information together for content removal decisions. sent to the internet platforms. They are looking for an intelligence-based approach and use AI. What they're doing is they want to bring in multi-language, human-cureated, off-platform intelligence into learning sets. The AI will then be able to detect nuanced, novel abuses at scale before they reach mainstream platforms.
Starting point is 00:43:34 So in other words, they're suggesting that they start collecting billions of bits of information on each of us. And they see where are these things starting? And they'll be able to do that because they can predict each individual. This is not beyond the capability of AI anymore. And so they're going to find out, yeah, that tweet was bad, but where did that tweet really come from? that tweet was started two years ago when that individual was reading this thing let's get rid of that thing that person has been listening to this this and this and reading this and the other person that came up with the same kind of idea was reading the same thing and listening to two out of the four
Starting point is 00:44:22 people let's get rid of those that's what they're talking about doing it is truly mind control they are going to start censoring the internet in advance of you forming a wrong opinion. Also, it's not good enough to censor John 1234 at Google or Gmail. It's not good enough to do that and cancel his tweet because that one tweet, it has to be all across all platforms and anything that person is connected to. This is ESG in action. It's not enough to take you off of Twitter. Depending on how misinformed you are,
Starting point is 00:45:16 they will reach into all platforms that you would use and ban you from all platforms. This is Orwell, 1984. Your friends and neighbors, I've said this for a while, they don't get it now, they probably won't. But I would like you to, while you're getting everybody you can out to vote, that should be your number one priority right now. I would highly suggest that you talk to people that you think might get it who are kind of on the fence and going, you know, look, this is probably not good. And don't make it about Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:46:01 for sure. Just say, okay, look, I mean, let's be honest, if this was happening on the other side, Yeah, well, it wouldn't. If it was happening on the other side, you would be saying the same thing. You would be saying we're in trouble. You know we're in trouble. I blame one side. You blame the other. The problem is the government has the power to control it.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Whatever side gets it can beat down the other side. That's not America. ESG is controlling. how we invest, what we say, what we think. And now with this latest, and you can find this, by the way, at the WEF website. Okay. Go to WEF and just look it up yourself. It's there.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Not taking it from some crazy, you know, fringe website. You just search for the solution to online abuse, AI plus human intelligence. It's right at the World Economic Forum. Show that. Show that to your friends. If they don't get it after this, they're not going to. And move on. Move on.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Save as many as you can, but we have a voting battle to fight.
