You know, I have to hand it to us,
we didn't, like,
we didn't just phone it in today.
I tried.
Several times.
Several times.
Several times.
I mean, I didn't,
I didn't try,
but I came in.
Yeah.
It wasn't just me phoning it in.
Right.
You know.
But it's a Friday.
So what do you expect?
I mean, this is America in 2023.
I mean, the fact that we show up for four days a week is pretty impressive.
It's really bad.
We should go protest in France.
And we can bring back some of those snappy berets.
Here's the thing.
Today is a Fight Back Friday and Good News Friday podcast.
A lot of really fascinating stuff that is going on that we thought was impossible.
even a month ago, some of these things.
You are activated.
There's something happening in America,
and we show it to you on today's broadcast.
Brought you by Relief Factor.
I've got a man here on the street
who had a nail gun to his head
and his tongue, believe it or not,
and they've never been able to remove the nails,
but it's very painful.
It is. Very painful.
Ah!
Wow, you're...
You're...
You seem to, I mean, be able to talk a little bit.
You took Relief Factor?
Yeah.
I thought you're going to offer me Relief Factor to help with this pain.
Oh, okay. Well, I didn't know your story, sir. You just came in.
That's true.
And you have a nail in your tongue, but you seem to be able to...
This one's actually a piercing.
I got their tongue removed.
Yeah, it was removed a while ago.
So you haven't tried Relief Factor.
Um, yes.
Yes. Yes. Yes. That's right.
After you, you know, go to a hospital and have the nails removed.
Right. So, yes.
If you've had a nail gun to the head and the tongue, like, why would the tongue?
I don't know. I don't know. It was a weird night.
I don't tell you that. I don't do that with nail guns.
But if you have a nail gun to the head, get treatment from a doctor and then, you know, consider owl relief factor.
Three-week quick start, 1995.
Trial pack, hundreds of thousands of people have ordered it.
70% of them go on to order more month after month.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
I have to tell you, God works in really mysterious ways.
We were going to do a Gettysburg.
restoring event. It was called Restoring the Covenant. And then what happened? COVID.
And we were deep financially into it and everything else. And that went away quickly. And I have felt that a
covenant needed to be made for years. We are a covenant people. And a covenant with God is really important.
If you make a covenant with God and you break it, all of those blessings go away.
All of those protections go away.
Everything goes away.
And we have broken our covenant made by many times in our country's history by our leaders.
We have to make it again and we have to beg for forgiveness.
that we get it.
We know.
We know what we've done.
So I wanted to do that a few years ago.
I get a video from a woman named Donica Hudson.
And she is, she said, I'm listening to you.
I don't even remember what show it was.
I'm listening to you.
And you have to be at this event.
So I checked into it and I'm going to be at this event next Wednesday.
And Donica is on with you.
me now. Hello, Donica. How are you? I'm great. It's so good to be with you, Glenn. Thank you. So,
tell me what this event is. This event is called the First Landy, 1607 Declaration of Covenant.
And we are so glad and thankful that you'll be there as our keynote speaker for the Gala Dinner,
because you do understand Covenant. God will not be mocked. That's the most important thing of a covenant.
God will not be mocked. Don't get into a covenant lightly with him because he'll keep his promise.
All right. So the first landing, 1607, we're talking Jamestown, right?
That's correct. Actually, the first landing was at Cape Henry.
Okay.
And then the colonist moved, it took two weeks, and they went down the river and established Jamestown.
So a lot of people don't know. It's not in many of the history books, surprise, surprise, that when the
colonists landed on April the 29th of 1607, they planted a huge wooden cross in the sand.
They knelt.
They took communion and they dedicated themselves and this land to God.
This land meaning the entire continent.
And not only did they do that, Glenn, they prayed that America would be evangelist to the world
and that generations to come after them would return and look at that cross.
and join them in this covenant.
And that's exactly what we're doing.
So where is this happening?
This is happening at Virginia Beach, Virginia, at the Delta Marriott.
It's actually near the first landing cross that's on a military base.
And we're bringing a big wooden cross to the sand there
so that people can literally do what the covenant calls us to do.
Look at that cross and remember what the founders of America did
when they dedicated this nation to God.
So the covenant I've read, and are you going to actually speak the covenant?
Are you asking people just to do it on their own?
Well, if you go to our website, you'll see that I have written a declaration of covenant.
And in that, we in unison re-covenant with the founding colonists original words.
And I actually had that prayer in my book, Pray America Great.
And that's how I got connected to help co-found this event with the visionary Reverend Jack Stagman.
So what we're doing is acknowledging that we are a Christian nation, that the colonists did in fact do exactly what I just outlined,
and that we intend to continue to join the colonists in this covenant.
Because if we don't, it's like you said in your incredible email to me, Glenn, that I read over and over again because it was so powerful.
that this is the only way that we save America.
It is.
Yeah.
It is.
Okay.
So is there recognition?
Because I read maybe another, something else posted on the website.
I don't remember what it was.
But it was really a prayer of recognition of, wow, we've screwed things up.
Please forgive us.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And if you go to first landing, 1607.com,
You can click on the Declaration of Covenant.
It's actually a downloadable PDF so that you can actually agree with us.
We're going to be live streaming it around the world in 72 languages real-time, thanks to Cloud Hub.
And we are going to allow people around the world to agree with us with this Covenant.
So go ahead and register online to do that.
But yes, we do acknowledge most of the things that you broadcast and are awakening the republic.
to realize is why we're in this situation that we need to remarry America to God.
You know, if I would have said this 10 years ago, or certainly in 1963, I would have been
called a madman. But we have not just removed God. We have replaced God in our schools
with drag queens. That's how insane it is. And until we humble ourselves,
recognize our role in this and then beg for his forgiveness and renew a covenant.
I don't think we save America.
Donica, I can't wait to meet you.
I'm just so impressed by your initiative and what you've put together, and I'm just thrilled
that I can be there.
Well, thank you, and I cannot take the sole credit for that.
We have a founding team of five that are working diligently together.
I was asked to write the Declaration of Covenant.
That's my strong suit.
We've actually just found out we're trying to get an annual day of a first landing annual day established
so that the nation knows that we are Christian nation and that this can be a building of recognition of covenant throughout the land.
We want to get it back into the schools.
And I agree with you.
Let's go there with the drag queens replacing God in the schools, you know, and how we outlawed school prayer.
You know, most people don't realize everything that we're doing is in the Bible.
Everything that is happening as an attack to us with drag queens and schools is a movement of the Antichrist spirit through the global elite to strip us of our identity.
So when we actually re-covenant, we are recognizing our true identity in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who established covenant in this earth.
Our God made covenant with night and day.
Everything that we see is by covenant.
How can we deny and leave him?
We have left our first love in America.
And this is an opportunity to save America by re-covenanting with him,
recognizing our identity in the God he created us and loves us.
And I know there are people out there listening, Glenn.
They are hurting.
They are bewildered.
They don't understand what's happening to our country.
They're going, where is God?
And he is right here.
He is right here.
We may have left him, but he has not left us.
That's the nature of covenant.
We have an opportunity to return to the God who created us before he issues us a certificate of divorce,
like he did in Jeremiah 3-8 with Israel.
We have a window of time.
And I think, like you said on your incredible broadcast recently,
I think it was the Tucker Carlson broadcast that we are no longer a superpower.
We are headed to be by 2025 a police state.
I believe this is our window of time that you have so aptly outlined that if we the people
who are in covenant with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by the blood covenant of Jesus Christ,
return to our first love and re-covenant with God, that we will usher in a force
of covenant and history that saves America.
Donica, I can't thank you enough.
Listen, I want you to go to first landing 1607.com.
That's first landing 1607.com.
If you can join us in Virginia Beach, great.
If you can't, join it online.
Get your church involved.
This covenant needs to be made everywhere in America.
We must restore our covenants.
with God and beg his forgiveness, it really is, I believe, the only way back.
We are not fighting politicians.
We're not fighting parties.
We're fighting evil.
And it's time to recognize that and call in the big guns.
Only the Lord can take care of this at this point.
But it requires work on our side.
And that work is to live as a country.
covenant people. Donica, thank you so much. I'll see you next Wednesday. Thank you so much for happy
week. You bet. Donica Hudson, pray America, great author, First Landing 1607 project co-founder.
Again, you can find out more about this at first landing 1607.com. If you're in that area,
I would love to see you next Wednesday in Virginia Beach. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Alex Epstein is with us now, president and founder of the Center for Industrial Progress, author of the Moral Case for Fossil Fuels.
He is pro-fossil Fuels, anti-green agenda, and uses facts to back it all up.
How are you doing, Alex?
Good, good to be here.
And Stu, you're here this time.
You weren't here last time.
I know.
I missed you.
It's great to have you here.
And, of course, last time I think I had you on Studo's America was talking about your new book, Fossil Future, which is the update to.
a moral case for fossil fuels and a great, great book.
I mean, it's one, I told me, I go back to all the time.
It's nonstop.
I mean, you're like a god to him.
I don't know, he's a fanboy.
Has he stalked you at any point?
Because for years, I've been trying to create an army of him.
An overweight out of shape army.
Yeah, yeah, right here.
It's going to go well.
It's going to go well.
So, I have this sense that things are changed.
changing. Things are being exposed like the WEF and ESG. That's been exposed now. It's starting to be
almost a joke. And when it comes to the fossil fuel usage, I hope that it, I hope that this changes
a little quicker because we're entering a time where they're just going to choke us off and kick the
door closed behind. Are we making progress on this? I think so. I think there's enough encouraging
signs that people should be even more motivated to fight. I think it's, is it fight back Fridays? Is that
what you call it? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So I mean, my own experiences, so I got passionate about this
issue in 2007, so almost 16 years ago now. And for most of that period, you know, from 2007 to the
present, what I would call the case against fossil fuels has enjoyed a position of a moral monopoly.
So basically, if you are against fossil fuels, right?
If you said, I'm concerned about climate change, I'm against fossil fuels, you just got a halo
over your head.
It was just free status.
And there was no questioning of it at all.
And then if you were at all associated with questioning climate catastrophism or let alone
supporting fossil fuels, then you had devil horns.
So this thing where there's no debate.
And I think part of what I've helped to create and what some others helped to create is
there is increasingly a debate about this.
And I think a manifestation of this is, you mentioned the World Economic Forum and in particular, ESG.
When I started, you know, five or six years ago, I used to do consulting on messaging for businesses.
Now I just help politicians because it's more high impact.
But ESG just took the corporate world by storm, including the oil and gas industry.
And everyone just said, oh, we love ESG.
They just always parasitically adopt the new term, which is just so dangerous when your enemy comes up with a new term.
Especially with three letters.
Don't start veicing those three letters, but they do that.
And it was just nobody would question ESG and had a total moral monopoly.
And now look at what's happening now.
Now people have very negative associations with ESG, considerably negative associations with
the World Economic Forum.
And I think also real questions about the net zero movement.
And I think it's a combination of, I think, some of the intellectual work and activist work some of us have done,
but also the manifestation of a global energy crisis, including a lesser energy crisis in America.
whenever you have a crisis, the establishment is called into question.
And so I view now as a very special educational opportunity, certainly in energy, the greatest
one of my lifetime.
Because I was born in 1980, the 70s energy crisis was even starting to become a memory then.
Just like inflation, people don't think it can happen if it hasn't happened recently.
Right.
Now both of those are happening and people are open to it.
Wait a second.
Maybe it doesn't make sense to restrict all of our reliable energy without a replacement.
Maybe it doesn't make sense to just print money endlessly.
Maybe logic is valid.
Right.
Maybe.
Maybe.
I think the jury's still out on that, but we'll give that point to you for now.
The, uh, when you look at how everything is under the umbrella of save the earth now,
I don't know if you saw the story about rice needing to go away if we're going to save the planet.
And so now, rice the grain.
Rice the grain.
Okay. Feeds what? I don't know, probably half the world.
What's it going to be replaced with?
Well, they certainly not meat.
No, they don't have. No, they don't have that part of it. They're just, they're just talking about getting rid of, of rice. Why would you worry about?
They'll come up. Their scientists are working on something to replace rice, I'm sure.
It's got to be bucks, right? We got to get to bugs eventually. What's the path to eating bugs?
So when I look at this and I look at the people involved, I mean, you have said forever,
a moral case for fossil fuels.
Because millions will die.
Millions will die if we just abandon power, electricity.
We're also now having these zealots take on our foods, meat, rice.
This is immoral.
Rice feeds.
How many people will starve without rice?
I think rice is a great example.
So I want to, since it's about to be Earth Day, and I'm here in town for this event called EarthX,
which is traditionally, I think, an event for environmental catastrophists.
But I was invited because former governor Rick Perry wanted to have me here, I guess, as a counter.
And so he's invited me and then the Texas state climatologist.
We're going to be on the stage together, which will be very interesting.
It's going to be great.
So, yeah, yeah, I're hoping to get a really good recording.
You need to borrow a vollefroof fest.
I guess.
We haven't had any scares yet.
Let's hope. Don't get any ideas.
And so it's Earth Day. So I want to ask kind of a question, which I think is maybe the most clarifying question when it comes to how people look at Earth. And it's very simple, but I think it explains how people could possibly be anti-Rice in the name of the Earth. So the question is, what is your goal with respect to Earth? Is it one, to advance human flourishing on Earth? Or two, is it to eliminate human impact on Earth? And I think the anti-Rice goal,
is eliminating human impact.
Correct.
It's Malthusian.
Because an earth from a human perspective, an earth with rice is a better earth.
Right.
Right.
And an earth with fossil fuels is a better earth.
And so that's my perspective.
I have a pro-human environmental philosophy, and I think that's the root of all of this.
What is your stance on fossil fuels being fossil fuels, or just some natural thing that,
I mean, apparently it's bubbling up from the ocean floor, all of that?
the time, it's part of nature.
Yeah, I think it's mostly, I mean, there's more of a question for gas, but I think it's mostly
ancient biological matter.
I mean, this stuff can naturally occur.
You see that on Saturn, like hydrocarbons, which, you know, that's what fossil fuels are.
They can naturally occur, but if you look at, and this is not my area of expertise, but if you
look at how, like, how people explore for oil, like, they're geologists who study the history
of life.
So the vast majority of people I know who are actually finding the stuff definitely believe
when it's called the biogenic theory.
And wouldn't that be just the perfect way for a self-sustaining ecosystem to work, that it would take stuff that is died and is being regenerated into something else that is useful?
Well, I mean, the criticism would be, I think it's a good point.
The criticism is, oh, we're taking it at a faster rate.
So we're burning the stuff at a faster rate than it decomposed.
Now, from a certain perspective, why, and from my perspective, like, why?
do I care about that? Because we don't need to use the stuff forever. We use the stuff and we
discover better things like nuclear. So we've got more than 10 times more, quote, fossil fuel
underground than we've used in the whole history of civilization. We're not running out of it.
We're running out of the freedom to harness it. That's what's scary. So yeah, it's a great
thing. Another perspective that's even more controversial is, well, in a sense, we're returning
the CO2 to the atmosphere because we had very high CO2 that was absorbed, you know,
by like a lot of marine organisms, we're returning it to the atmosphere.
Isn't that more, quote, natural?
So it's interesting that they hate anything that's impacted by humans,
even if we're making it more like it used to be.
Correct.
When you look at the road we're on, especially this push from Biden and the World Economic Forum,
to get all cars to be batteries, I mean, the whole thing falls apart.
when you just start to take it logically, do we have the transmission lines to be able to put all of, wherever you're getting it from?
Let's say, you know, ancient space monkeys come down and teach us how to make more electricity.
We don't have the power lines to distribute this kind of stuff that fast, do we?
Certainly not now.
I mean, I just think of it as it's very valuable, I think, just to return to basic.
principles and the basic principles of, you know, a free economy is what do we do? If you have a good
idea, you are free to offer it to the market and see how it goes. It is not a good idea to try to
make 67% of new U.S. vehicles electric by the year 2032, that for a million different reasons,
which is why it's not even close to happening. We have 6% adoption with massive government
subsidies. People don't want these things. And the basic reasons are they're not as cost-effective
for the typical person, and we have a decline in the availability of reliable electricity,
and why would you have a massive increase in demand?
Correct. But you have car companies that are going out of the combustion engine.
I mean, it's one of these situations where there's, if everyone else is doing it,
it can't be that bad. It's just people really think, oh, if the government is behind it,
if Joe Biden's word is behind it, it must work. Like, some point,
Politicians just think they're just magical.
Like they can just say words and then those words will just come true.
So they can just say, oh yeah, by 20.
But look at Newsom, right?
I mean, five days after he announced no more internal combustion engine vehicles in 2035,
he had to tell us as residents of California, don't charge your EV.
And by the way, don't use your air conditioning during a heat wave.
This is with a few percent EV penetration.
And they're talking about making it close to 100%.
So what's happening is the worst.
crackpot ideas are being dictated. This is why we don't want anyone's ideas dictated,
even smart people's. What's problem is these people aren't only dumb, but they're anti-human.
At the core, they're against energy. You see them being against rice. They're against, really what
they're against is human impact. So it's the combination of the evil of government, quote,
planning, which is just government dictating, combined with an anti-human motive. At least the
communists had a semi-anty-human motive, but the Greens, their core motive is a
eliminating human impact from Earth. So you don't want people dictating you to hurt yourself.
It really is fascinating. Now they say, look, we've got a, they're saying it is a pro-human
outlook. They're saying there's a catastrophe around the corner. We have to stop it. We have not been
thinking about these things for too long. And now we have to do something about it. So yeah,
you know, EVs might be more expensive and they might have some costs up front. But that's why
we need the government to step in and take the reins. I mean, there's a lot to take.
apart there, but let's just take the idea of, okay, we have a looming catastrophe. So I have a very
simple rule that will rule out 85% of people's predictions, which is I only accept predictions
about the future from people who accurately portray the present. So if they acknowledge,
that's a good rule. That's really good. If they acknowledge, hey, you know what, human beings are
currently in a climate renaissance as then we're far safer from climate-related disasters than ever
the average person is 150th is likely to die from a climate-related disaster because the rate
of death has gone down 98%
in the last 100 years. If they said it's amazing
now, and so we've had one degree of warming,
the earth is much more livable than it used to be.
It's also greener. Life is better, mostly
because of all the energy that came with the fossil fuels.
But there's a looming disaster
for X, Y, Z reason. I would listen.
But they'd say, no, no, the climate is terrible
today. It's never been worse. And then they give
anecdotes if this person died, this person died,
making you think that the death rate is higher.
Why would I trust them to predict the future
if they can't predict the present? Either,
there's only two possibilities.
Oh, not of trusting them, but they're only doing it because, one, they are ignorant or two, they have a different goal. And this goes back to is their goal to advance human flourishing on Earth or is it to eliminate human impact on Earth?
See, I think the elites have a very anti-human view. I mean, everything that is being done now across the board is to enslave or to kill humans. You know what I mean? Tell them exactly what to do every second of the world.
day. You're only going to, you're going to have to walk if you live in this area. There's no
cars for you. Your car can only drive so far. That's, that's crazy. And I think they have a
real Malthusian attitude. And I think the majority of the people who are just lapdog followers
are ignorant of the real facts. Yeah, I mean, I think Malthusian is actually charitable to them.
Well, it's an aspect of it. It's an aspect of it. It's what I, it's what I call the parasite
polluter view of human beings. So this is the view that Earth is what I call a delicate
nurturer. So it's stable, sufficient. It gives us enough as long as we're not too greedy and
it's safe. And then human beings are parasite polluters and our impact ruins. Yeah. So there's
that aspect of running out of resources, but there's also this idea of like everything we do ruins
Earth. And at the core, that's obviously not true. Like we make water clean. Nature doesn't
just have Evian and Perrier flowing all over the place and we ruin it. Like we make clean water, right?
We make the air a lot cleaner than it was when we use wood.
Like, we make our environment unnaturally clean and safe.
So you can't not know that.
So I think it's really a belief that human impact is evil.
But notice, they don't think bear impact is evil.
Right.
Beaver impact is.
So it's a distinctly anti-human view.
That's what I call it human racism, because it's the view that the human race is
particularly evil, that our impact is evil and the rest of nature's impact is good.
And this is a mainstream view.
It goes by green.
Green means minimize or eliminate human impact.
it's an uncontroversial idea.
So this is how far we are against
in terms of hating our species
and our nature.
So Alex, I feel like they don't normally let you on stage
with climatologists to debate.
Is that what this is?
Is this a debate that you're participating in while you're here?
It's not a debate.
It's a discussion.
Hopefully it's a lively discussion.
Oh, I think it will be.
When you get in these moments,
because you've had some high profile back and forth with, you know,
with climatologists and scientists talking about this stuff.
You know, they say that you're not even allowed to participate in these debates
because you're no scientist.
You're not an expert.
But you are an expert.
How do you deal with that approach?
Which basically tries to eliminate this entire perspective from the conversation.
You're just not an expert that they have deemed an expert.
Yeah.
That's the deal.
I mean, so you're not a scientist.
type thing is really revealing because what we're dealing with are policy questions, right? The question
is what to do. And that always has a moral component. So policy questions always have value,
so they're never fully resolved by a factual one discipline. They're also always interdisciplinary.
So energy questions when energy impacts climate, obviously energy expertise is relevant. And that's
what I have primarily. I know quite a bit about climate. Most of these climate guys know nothing
about energy. I certainly know infinitely more about climate than they know about energy. But it just
shows that the only focus with fossil fuels and climate is what are the negative climate effects
of fossil fuels? And this is where I think as a philosopher, I really have the expertise,
because they're looking, again, this question of, is your goal to advance human flourishing on
earth or eliminate human impact on earth? They're looking at the issue of fossil fuels from the
perspective of our goal is to eliminate impact. So all they can think about is, oh, we're impacting
the climate and that's bad and we should repent and we should stop. They don't look at the benefits.
But from a human flourishing perspective, you look at fossil fuels and you look at how much
better have they made the earth, including how much safer are we from climate due to things like
irrigation and heating and cooling and sturdy buildings. And I do think this is, I think, Stu,
you mentioned my book, Fossil Future. I think this is really the distinctive thing about fossil
future is it's the only book that looks fully at our energy choices from a purely human
flourishing perspective. And what people are shocked by is how different that is, how differently
you look at the same thing, this, you know, the coal and oil and gas, when you look at it and the earth
from a human flourishing perspective.
It just totally changes your mind.
You look at it, oh my gosh, I'm so glad these guys figured
how to turn the glop into human life.
It's made the earth better.
Not it should have stayed underground
and we should have stayed savages.
And if we don't educate ourselves,
we are going to end up figuring that out,
not from a book, but from real life
as we're cold, dark, and hungry.
Alex, thank you so much.
God bless.
Thanks for having me, guys.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Justin Haskins is on with us.
He is the Heartland Institute Socialism Research Center director,
probably more famous as the co-author with his unbelievable,
talented, good-looking sidekick,
who is also the co-author of that book called The Great Reset
and an upcoming book called Dark Future.
Justin, welcome.
the idea of you being my sidekick.
I'm going to put that, I'm going to plaster it out everywhere.
I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for these kids in their mystery van.
You've always been your own worst enemy.
I know.
So, Justin, I got this news.
I've been saving it for Friday on the program.
I got this news late, I think Wednesday.
And it took everything in me to keep it quiet.
yesterday, this is huge what happened in Florida.
Yeah, Florida are going to pass comprehensive, toughest, most important anti-ESG social credit
scoring bill that we have ever seen. Probably anywhere in the for the past year and a half or so.
Many of us have been fighting in, you know, trying to get a really solid ESG bill passed.
There's been some progress made in a lot of places.
They have put some legislation into place, but nothing that goes so far is to protect the individual.
State investment, state, this is the first time that a state passing a bill,
financial institutions, using ESG and social credit scores against people,
to try to force the entire economy to transform along the Great Reset line.
This is a huge part of what the Great Reset is.
you and I did not think that what we're seeing in Florida is certainly anytime soon.
Yeah, hang on just a second.
Two years ago, when we first released The Great Reset,
I remember looking at you and you looking at me and were like,
is anybody even going to care or read this book?
And we wrote it with that knowledge that maybe nobody will read it,
but it was so important for everybody to understand.
look at, I mean, ESG and the W-E-F, they are on the ropes.
And it's in good part due to this audience reading and spreading the word about this book.
It's crazy what's happened.
Yes, what were you telling me?
Oh, hope.
And I said, Glenn, there is no hope.
I'll never forget you saying that.
It's all over.
And you said, no, no, we have to find a way.
We have to find a way.
And I remember saying to you, Glenn, it's too far.
We'll come up with something, but you do realize we're screwed, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, we are.
And I said, yes, I said, yes, I know, but we've got to hold out because both of us knew how far along this was.
And if you don't act quickly, it's over.
And it is being beaten back.
And a month ago, I would have never thought that Florida or any state would have passed something
this strong. I mean, it covers all of the bases that we have been preaching about traveling the country
talking about. I mean, it's an incredible bill. It makes Florida the safest state, if it passes,
the safest state against the WEF and safest government probably in the world. Yes.
Ron DeSantis, who has already said that he's going to sign the bill. The bill has been passed by the House and passed by the Senate. So there's no reason to believe this isn't going to be signed any day now by Ron DeSantis, who has been an anti-ESG now. He's becoming a national leadership, the Senate leadership, all behind this as well. And that's the difference. See, we've seen this introduced in numerous other states, but in every other state where something like this has been introduced, establishment Republicans by bank lobbyists, by
corrupt organizations, some of which claim to be conservative. These are the people who have been
killing these bills all across the country, including in deep, deep red states like Idaho and Kansas
and other places, but in Florida, because they had leadership behind it from the very beginning,
with Ronda Santis and with Paul Renner, the House Speaker, and Catherine Pasadomo, I mean,
these people, Kathleen Pasadombo, I mean, these people are the heroes of this. And, and, you know,
And I also think there's a lot of people out there who think, well, I don't live in Florida, so this doesn't matter.
Oh, it does. It does. Yeah, this is going to change the entire landscape of this fight.
Everywhere else is going to be easier to pass this legislation. And the people who have been working on the ground on this nationwide, like Eddie Grantwork, these people are heroes. Heroes.
Heroes.
They're a fight against the Great Reset going forward.
So the Democrats said a couple of things.
Senator Jason Pizzo said the bill is absolutely laughable.
It shows that we are not a business-friendly state.
Democratic Senator Tina Scott Polsky said,
socialism is a state of control of production, distribution,
and change of goods and services.
I will vote for capitalism,
and that's why I vote no on this bill.
This is incredible.
The way they have turned,
where you have Democrats
claiming that they are
pro-business
by stopping
anything to stop ESG
and how many Republicans
and conservatives
buy into it.
It's nuts.
Collusion amongst all these
massive corporations
and banks all over the world,
all going flying off to Davos,
colluding about how they're going
to fundamentally transform
our entire economy.
The idea that that is somehow
free market,
economics, when they don't give average consumer wants, they're not listening to supply and demand,
they're not following any of the normal rules or laws of economics, and yet somehow this is
supposed to be about protecting the free market. Give me a break. That is a total, total joke.
The only reason anyone on the left wants this is because it is a mechanism for controlling society,
which many people on the left love, and the only reason some establishment Republicans, I think,
have been so hesitant to go in this direction,
either because they don't understand it,
if we're going to give them the benefit of the doubt,
or because, frankly, they're cronious, they're corrupt,
they're in with big business interests and want this kind of control.
And big banks.
Let me show you an example.
I don't know if you've heard this news,
but we had Dr. Erick-Henson on a couple of weeks ago.
Texas Medical Board suspended his medical license
because he didn't obey the mask mandate in 2021.
So just a few months ago, they suspend him as a doctor for something that happened in 2021.
And he was right on.
And so they suspend him.
He loses his license.
And he comes on the show.
We tell, call the Texas medical board and say, enough is enough here.
And they did.
Like the next day, they granted his license.
Then we found out the day after that the hospital that he had.
privileges at and the insurance company that he had both dropped him so good luck with your medical
uh your medical license you can't use it okay that's esg so we went on the air to uh tuesday or wednesday
and i said uh you got to call the hospital got to call the hospital and people called within six
hours, he was reinstated at that hospital. The only one that's going to be tough is the insurance
company. And that is the biggest partner. The banks and the insurance companies are the biggest
hammers to fall. If he was living in Florida under this new bill, he wouldn't have a problem.
And for every story like that that you hear, see, not every person who's discriminated against
gets their story featured by Glenn Beck on the radio and hundreds or thousands of people call it.
That doesn't usually happen.
No.
In 99% of the cases, or more than that, you never even hear about it.
And that's why you need laws on the books to protect people.
And if you don't have fair access law like they now have in Florida, which conservatives have been fighting against,
you don't even know you become a conspiracy theorist because you're like, wait a minute,
the medical board, then the hospital, and then the insurance company, they all cancel me,
and they cancel me after I'm reinstated.
Not when I lose my medical license, but I'm reinstated.
And that's when they tell me, well, if you don't have fair access, you can't prove it because
they don't have to answer any questions.
That's the problem.
About what it was.
Yes.
And we thought a lot of people just wouldn't believe it because it seemed so unbelievable.
how much coordination and how much collusion and how much corruption was going on and how much money
had been poured into this system where they're all coordinating on these issues like, you know,
vaccine mandates or whatever the issue is.
Trans, whatever, whatever.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah.
Whatever they decide to be the issue, they're all coordinating.
And that's why Davos matters.
That's why the World Economic Forum matters.
That's why the Great Reset matters.
And it matters why Joe Biden and all of these people are in these vast public-private
partnerships with these major corporations. It's not because the World Economic Forum actually has
political power in and of itself. It's because it's about coordinating all these institutions
all over the world working hand in hand in lockstep to take away your freedoms and to advance
their cause. And I truly believe there are big companies. I think Budweiser is one of them.
Look, Budweiser owned by, you know, Augie Bush, they're conservatives. And do you really
think they wanted to release that?
You know, I don't buy their cock and bull story that, oh, it was just some low level.
No, it wasn't.
That's the job of that individual to get you a higher CEI score to, and the only way you can
get this score is if you are using your advertising to support and grow LGBTQ2 plus knowledge.
So you've got to take your money.
You just say, hey, no, we have a fair work.
You have to take your money and do something like Budweiser did.
Well, it's suicidal.
And I don't think they want to do it, you know, at least at the corporate level, the highest levels.
But they did it because if they don't, they get a bad score on CEI and nobody does business with them.
You have fossil fuel companies like ExxonMobil throwing members of the board.
out of the door because they're not willing to phase out fossil fuels. It's a fossil fuel company.
Why would they ever do that? Because that's how the Great Reset works. Everybody knows who's involved
have to go along. You have to chase crocs of the world. They're going and the other big
institutional investors and the banks because if all the banks and all the black rocks of the world
and State Street Global Advisors and all those people are moving in one direction together as a group,
and you go against them, you will be destroyed.
And we know this because they've said this numerous times publicly.
Yeah, it's racketeering at the highest levels, I think, ever seen on Earth.
