What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. If you were Devin Archer today, how would you be feeling? Devin Archer is the former partner of the Biden's, Joe and Hunter Biden. He is the main partner that knows all about the books, was at all of the means. knows that Joe was indeed a full partner in this. He has to testify. The DOJ, there was a big kerfuffle.

I think that it's not what all of the conservatives think it is. But imagine, after seeing what happened with Jeffrey Epstein, which of course was just he hung himself. Imagine giving testimony today, and then knowing that you're going to prison maybe as early as Wednesday, what would you do? We start there in 60 seconds. First, you sick, twisted, freak.

Let me tell you about Relief Factor. Connie lives in Nevada, and she's had some bad news a while ago. She was told that nothing could be done for the back and hip pain that she's been plaguing her for a while now. It just kept getting worse and worse and worse, and then she saw an ad on TV for Relief Factor. She wasn't really hopeful, but she thought, what else do I have to lose? So she ordered the quick start.

She says it literally started working within two days. The pain began to subside. Obviously, she kept going with relief factor. These days, she reports she has no pain. She goes to bed pain free every night, wakes up the next morning, still pain free. Connie got her life back. Could you? Try the three-week quick starts, 1995.

It doesn't work for everybody, but if it works for you, It's the best 1995 you've ever spent. It's a trial pack, not a drug, developed by doctors, and hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and 70% of them go on to order more. Relieffactor.com, 800, the number four relief, 804 relief, relief, relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com, 800, the number four, relief.

Feel the difference. Well, welcome back to Stu. I'm glad to see that you have most of it cleared up, you know innocent until proven guilty and I'm glad uh we don't have to go into what you were doing last week in the court and all of the details what uh hi stew hey glen how's how you doing you back good to have you back yeah i bet it was though let me let me go right into uh devon archer have you been following this at all oh my gosh uh what you know well i was i had other things going on last week and it was tough to keep up with all the news developments. So not as much as I would have

worked. Sure. Sure. Yeah, well, in that cell it has, well, I don't know about the Wi-Fi situation. Anyway, in the Biden's family foreign business empire, Devin Archer is ground zero. Devin Archer is the guy who knows where all the bodies are buried. Perhaps literally, we're not sure at this point. However, He was supposed to testify last week. He's been talking to the committee in Washington. He is not a friendly witness, but he's not exactly hostile either. He says he's just going to tell the truth. I have no idea what he is going to say.

But apparently the committee knows at least his opening statement. And there are some things that he is going to say, apparently, that will not go well for the Bidens. Again, he knows everything that was going on. Now, if I were Hunter Biden, I would think to myself, hmm, I know I'm not suicidal, but I could be committing suicide by the end of this week. He says his family has been threatened.

It is really, I mean, we are in the place to where, who do you trust to keep you safe? safe. Oh, don't worry. The federal government will keep you safe. We'll keep you safe all right. Uh, no, no, thank you. Who keeps you safe at this point? So who knows what he's going to say? But here are the questions that can be asked. Why did Burisma hire Hunter Biden in April 2014, on the eve of his father's vice presidency? Uh, his dad makes his first major visit to Ukraine. What did Archer leave the firm wanted from Hunter Biden being on its board and working as one of its lawyers. It's a really good question to ask about the hiring of a crack and hooker addict.

I mean, I think that's fair. He'll know. What did Joe Biden know about Hunter's business dealings in China, Ukraine, Romania, and Russia? Apparently, there were several parties, apparently several board meetings that Devin Archer knows happened and was there for those meetings. Why did Joe Biden phone in to some of the Burisma board meetings and specifically phone into the December 2015 meeting in Dubai when the firm was panicked that Shokin, the Ukrainian prosecutor, was escalating his probe of the Ukrainian firm? that one is really important. I have no idea of my son's business dealings, but I happen to call in to a Burisma board meeting. What? To say hi.

Hey, I hate to interrupt your board meeting. Son, I just want to know, how are you? Are you okay? Is everything all right? Are you still making it with the hookers? Do you need more money? What was that conversation? It's like one of those.

If it wasn't about the business dealings. Those old school party lines, Glenn. You remember you could just call in and you wouldn't know necessarily who was on. It was just a bunch of people. And sometimes it's the Parisian board meeting. You don't know. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you very much. Why did the Chinese approach Hunter Biden and Devin Archer in 2013 to form a joint investment firm? And what did the Chinese say they wanted out of the relationship? I mean, this one is important. At 2013, they, formed this new investment house and immediately the Chinese are like we are look where are we going to put all this money we have so much money we need somebody who's on the cutting edge of investing somebody who has a really good track record oh i know uh how about uh how about the gulman

sacks no no no no there no we need somebody new hey how about a crack addict and his friend who have no experience at all. There's a good idea. Let's give them more access to our market than anyone, including Bank of America, Citibank, and all the others. Let's give them more access and more money than anyone else in the world. Does that make sense to you? What did Betrina once the richest female oligarch and the wife of the former Moscow mayor

reach out to firms associated with Hunter Biden, Devin Archer, and other business partners back in 2013 and 14. And what did she get out of the relationship? Was Joe Biden ever promised or sent any money from his son's overseas business partners or did Hunter ever confide that he paid bills and expenses for his dad? Did Hunter have any role in the tribal bond scheme or did he derive any direct or indirect financial benefits for the companies involved in it? Now, This one is important because Devin has said the Bidens threw him under the bus. This is why he's going to jail. He was ripping off an Indian tribe.

Is there anything more politically incorrect today? Something that you'd know. Gosh, if I get caught, this would be a big huge scandal. I mean, it's like stealing money from orphanages. so he's stealing money from then this is what he was convicted of a bond scheme however the speculation is that hunter was involved in that too and it's a giant cover-up we may find out today did hunter Biden have a strategy of targeting foreign oligarchs with legal troubles that's the that's the last question that should be asked today with devon archer if now he is canceled

several times and rescheduled. However, they were pushing, it was really, it was quite interesting what they sent. They sent a letter on Saturday, which the Justice Department, it is my understanding, never does. They sent a, they sent a letter that said, hey, I just want to remind you, he should be in jail. Now, people are reporting this as the DOJ was saying that they want him in jail before Monday. The DOJ has said that is not the truth. So on Sunday, they did something even less familiar from the DOJ. They wrote a letter to the judge, a follow-up letter to Ronnie Abrams. This is the United States District Judge, Southern District of New York. The government writes to follow up on its letter dated yesterday, apprising the court of the Second Circuit's mandate, affirming the judgment of conviction in this matter. The government understands that the defendant is scheduled to provide testimony to Congress tomorrow.

To be clear, the government does not request and has never requested that the defendant surrender before his congressional testimony. As the court knows, to surrender and commence his sentence of imprisonment, the defendant must be in. must be designated to a federal facility by the Bureau of Prisons, a process that can take several weeks or months. Nonetheless, for the avoidance of all doubt, the government request that any surrender date should the court order one be scheduled to occur after the defendant's congressional testimony is completed. Now, several speculations on why they did this.

Why would they go into the office on a Saturday and write a letter? that they don't usually write. It can't be a computer glitch. It can't be, you know, you could say, well, we were super busy. And, you know, we're just burning the midnight oil. We got these guys here in the DOJ that just won't sleep until justice is served.

Does anybody believe that? It's the government. Why didn't they just send it today? Don't know. Then they come out and they say, oh no no no I want you to know that's not what that letter meant at all okay so everybody was speculating that that's what that letter was about then the next day they come out and somebody had to go into the office again and write another letter that never happens on a weekend

here's what I think they were doing I think they were reminding American Devin archer is going to prison I think this was a discrediting thing that they were doing So everyone could talk about Devin Archer as a guy who is going to prison. How many times do you trust a guy going to prison? And is he just testifying because he wants his sentence lightened or anything like that? That, I think, is as far as the conspiracy on this may go. I think it was, it's just, does this sound reasonable as he used to? I think it's just to get them to have everybody in America put him in the right frame, and that is convicted criminal.

Right. They have to give cover to the media to be able to dismiss everything that comes out of this. Right. And to look good on the right side, because they'll say, and conservatives over the weekend said they didn't want him to testify. And that's why he was drawn to jail. But that was nonsense. In fact, the Justice Department had to come out. and tell these crazy conservatives that that's not what was happening. And as it turns out, you know, his testimony was either really bad, but let's remember he's going to prison for this. Maybe he's looking to suck up. Or it wasn't as bad as everyone said.

And the Justice Department knew that. And they weren't trying to bring him into prison. They were very clear that they said, you know, it'll take months. We just happen to issue this letter. trying to cover themselves on, no matter which way this goes. And of course, the pressures are still there, right? Like, they still want him to do, quote, unquote,

the right thing in their view, which is to protect, whether that's still a legitimate possibility at this point. I don't know. I mean, it seems like it's gone down that. There's too much evidence. There's too much coming out here. But that's basically their goal here.

Is there still try to manipulate the levers of power or however they can to stop all of them? this. Well, you know, he's, he has been, apparently, he and his family have received serious death threats. He has said several times that he is concerned about the safety of himself and his family. You have a skeptical look on your face. Why? No, it's, uh, these things are very, very important. And, uh, they, they always, this is always the excuse, right? There's always something like this. that is bubbling under. There's always pressures from the evil outside that are always conservatives. These things don't typically ever come to pass, but we always hear about it.

Oh, I don't think, really, you think that, because I've not read that it's conservatives. I haven't read which side it's coming from. But I got to believe, I mean, if I'm going to jail and I'm testifying against the president and the first son, and I know that, you know, somebody else that had the goods on powerful people just hung themselves, strangely, and cameras stopped working. I'd be very concerned. I would worry about my life and my family's life as well. Oh, I'm sure in reality, that's what's happening. The reason it's being reported, though, is usually the opposite of reality. But we'll see. We'll see. I mean, I would certainly be scared. In this scenario, with all of this that's going on, if what we believe is, true, right? And it, man, there's so much evidence now at this point. There's so much smoke that it's

hard to, you know, dismiss. This is the type of stuff that, you know, you see, this is, you know, this feels movies. Movie stuff. This is just stuff that you see, you know, this is house of cards stuff at this point. And the house of cards is a good analogy because it does feel like we're a couple of cards breaking down from the whole thing collapsing. Back in just a minute. First, let me tell you about Legacy Box. Magnetic tape. We used to use magnetic tape in radio. And the last time I saw tape edited was when I hired Stu.

And I was the one trying to teach him out of edit tape. And he looked at me and said, why would I ever do it this way? And I was like, what do you mean? And he opened up the computer and he edited something about half the time. And I said, okay, you're good. Let's go. Edited tape is only really made to last about 10 to 20 years. and it becomes so hardened that the plastic that everything is on remains, but then everything

flakes off of that, especially if it's not stored away the right way. Digitizing your old media with Legacy Box stops the fading process and the destruction of all of those recordings, and you can save them forever. For a limited time, Legacy Box is running a $9 videotape sale. $9, it's usually like $30. At this special price, there's never been a better time. time to convert your entire collection. Legacy box is the safest and easiest way to preserve your pass, which is why it's been trusted by over a million families. They are, as soon as I send it in,

they are going to be taking my entire lifetime archives and documenting them and making sure that they're all preserved. That is a huge, huge job. And the only person I would trust to do it is Legacy Box. Don't let this summer's heat age your videotapes and your film reels and fade your photos. Legacybox.com slash Beck. Shop their $9 tape sale.

The Secret Service has refused to turn over the list of individuals who may have access the area of the White House where that cocaine was found on the 4th of July weekend. It was just the white and the red was the, you know, was the blood on his

face after doing all so much white. And the blue was just the cops that were turning their back. That's, I mean, that's all that was. So a FOIA request, Freedom of Information Act, went out and apparently the Department of Homeland Security said, yeah, well, these are presidential records and they have exclusive legal custody and control of the White House. Okay, that's not what the FOIA asked for. The FOIA asked for the list from the Secret Service, which is not protected by the White House. So there is a list of everybody that comes in and you are frisk, dogs are there. They blow, you know, air at your face. They test you six ways to Sunday. You have to empty all of your pockets. And if you go into this special section, you don't only get up that,

but you have to empty your pockets and put everything in a little cubby. Well, there's secret service people everywhere. Now, the White House has records, and that's protected against the Freedom of Information Act. However, if you're a, the Secret Service. service and you said I need to see that list so we know who we need to contact who was in this room they made a list of the people that were on the list that needed to be interviewed if they didn't make that list that shows they didn't really investigate they did nothing so they were asking for the secret service list of who was in and who did you talk to

service I don't know what lit list what and the White House is saying no no no you want our list of who walked in and that's protected no that's not what they're asking for why won't they produce the list why it is not protected under the Presidential Records Act why will the Secret Service not provide a list more garbage from the DOJ Homeland Security, the FBI, and now Secret Service.

What are you doing today to reach out to your community and help people? Let me tell you a little bit about Aaron. He partners with an organization that provides on-the-job skills to people entering the workforce. Another organization that helps homeless people. people with the basic needs to get back on their feet. He's even personally donating, putting his money where his mouth is, putting his time where his money is. On top of that, Aaron and his family are very active in their church. He helps out with greeting and ushering and scripture reading

and retreats. With all of that on his place, he still has time to be one of the top best-selling real estate agents in his region. I think it's because of all those things.

when you raise kids you just you don't ever know and you don't know where they're going to go and you just hope to God that they don't you know watch you know a show about crack dealing and all of a sudden go, you know, I think I'm going to be, I could be a better crack dealer than that guy. You just hope that something good happens. And you don't ever want to stomp on their dreams. And I say this because my folks, they always said to me, yeah, you know that that business doesn't pay very well. And I'm like, I know. And you have to be Uber successful to be able to even eat.

I know. But if that's what you want to do. do we recommend that you have some fallback but uh you know if that's what you want to pursue we're here to help you and so i've done that with my son uh and he's now i mean my son is now a coach of a college football team and i'm like how did that happen how did that happen and his mom and i we wanted to say all the time not a chance dude not a chance. I mean, not a chance. You didn't know how this game was even played four years ago. And everybody who wants to be in football, especially in Texas, they start when they're two.

And not a chance. Well, now he's coaching college level football. And it's crazy, absolutely crazy. This weekend, my daughter was in a Broadway boot camp. And I have been begging to, people that I know in the industry. Please watch this and tell me she doesn't happen. She doesn't have it. That she's mediocre or anything. Please, I do not. And they all laugh. Boy, you do not want her to go into Hollywood. And I'm like, no, I don't. I don't want her in Broadway. I don't want her in Hollywood. No. And my only hope has been that maybe my name would destroy her chance of being, you know, in, in, on Broadway. And so it's a unique form of parenting you're doing there, Glenn. I don't know how to describe that exactly. It's not in any book that I've read. I know.

Believe me, I have wanted to stand up in auditions and things like that and say, just a reminder, she's my, that one, that's my daughter. But I don't. And so this weekend, we went to a Broadway boot camp, and it was Le Miserables. And she played Madame, what is it, Thorny A, Thénardier, which is a very difficult role to play. And it's all character. And she walked on stage. And she had told me, that's the role she wanted when she was trying out. She told me, she said, Dad, I am going to push this.

And I said, go for it, Lucy. And because I've always called her Lucy, because she's, she's, she's, Since a kid, she's been Lucille Ball. She is hysterical. And I said, go for it, Lucy. And she did. And I sat there and I looked at my wife and I said, we have to surrender.

She clearly has it. So now what do we do to help her? She's got two years before she goes out onto the open market. And I don't want her to go to colleges and art colleges. and theater. I don't want, I just don't want her there. And I'm like, where do you go? What do we do? We have a friend whose daughter was so talented musically. And she's now in Nashville making music. We've had two friends that have done this. And their family moved to Nashville to be able to do it. And I'm like, I know, but I don't want, we're not moving to L.A. We're not moving to New York.

I don't want her there. But there's no way where to go. No, there's nowhere to go. We saw a show this weekend because we're up in Idaho. And so we went down to watch her at this boot camp and then we went to a show on Saturday night at a place called the Hale Theater. This is a community theater that has for four or five generations said, we're not going to put crap on the on the stage. And by crap, I mean, there's no swearing. There's no, there's no, there's no, sex and they have started to buy Broadway shows you know you have to pay royalties for that and you have to do them word for word otherwise you're in violation of the contract you do not change what the playwright wrote well they get playwrights to change it to allow them to remove all the swearing and everything else they have a 2000 seat theater I think they do as many as 22 shows a week

They sell more tickets 94% sold out year round and about 700,000 tickets a year. It is incredible. And we watch that and we're like, this is a community theater. This is better than Broadway. This is crazy. And, you know, my wife looks at me and I said, don't look at me. I'm not thinking that. And she's like, well, I'm not thinking that either.

And I'm like, good, well, we can't think that. We don't want to think that. Which is, you know, move to Salt Lake City. Last place I'd want to live. I think it's turning into Babylon myself. That seems like it's been pretty nice when I've been there. Is it that rough? Is it that rough and tumble streets?

Salt Lake is really going dark. Salt Lake is really going dark. You know, when I moved there in the 80s, I remember it was really, really good people. and then the people who lived there were so anti the religion because it was so predominant then that they just went the other way just to make a statement we're not anything like you and i think that caught hold and it's uh it's got some real issues real issues uh and it will be destroyed but anyway um uh i i just don't want to so i you know now i talking to my wife and i'm like maybe we thought maybe we

we start an acting school and i don't know hire really good actors you know like cavizal or somebody like that that is good at teaching i don't know if he's good at teaching but find some actors that are really good they don't have to agree with our politics they just can't be marxist socialist crazy you know tree hugging uh i don't know dears i'm a deer no i'm a deer no i'm a deer no i'm I'm a budding rabbit. None of that crap. None of that crap. Because we have to, as an industry, we have to start picking from the tree and not from the barrel. Right now as an industry, we get the rejects or the people who are so successful that, you know, they've got an Academy Award and they're like, I don't care. I've got to destroy me. We have to not have our throw our kids into the lions because I am, I'm terrified. my daughter has it and I don't want her anywhere around it. She'll lose her soul.

I'm convinced. And I'm not going to stop her from doing it, but there's got to be another way. Got to be another way. Yeah. I mean, you're seeing that with universities now, right? We're seeing a bunch of these startup that are not necessarily conservative universities. Some of them are outwardly conservative. Some of them are just like, hey, we're going to not be completely insane.

We're just going to get rid of all of the craziness. that has, you know, penetrated the universities and made them worthless. I mean, the big names that we've been looking at for all these years as the center of intellectual thought have been completely destroyed, completely destroyed. And people are now stepping up and the sane ones that were left from that world are stepping outside of it and starting new things. And I don't know. Maybe that's interesting you bring that up because it's very central to what you like and

and love and it's you've always been someone who's really loved the arts, but also something you have some influence it in and is consistent with what you actually believe. It's kind of an interesting idea. Yeah, especially now that Angel Studios is getting so much to be able to have the pipeline to Angel Studios. You know what I mean? Look, you have talent. You want to really learn it and you want to have at least a door open to those kind of directors that are filming or doing stage productions, you can get the fast track over here. You still have to be good. But if you have those morals and you're trying to stay on those morals, we'll teach you.

Then you have to have the, it's a merit-based system. And you go to, you know, Angel Studios or whoever. I don't know. I haven't talked to Angel or anybody else about this. Why would I do that? I should just instead just talk about it on the air. That's a smart thing to do. What an idiot. Jeez. You got into the Radio Hall of Fame right there. You're just blurting out ideas. You haven't really thought all the way through to, you know, 20 million people. I have thought about this, though, for, I've thought about this for at least a decade when she started sniffing around and I'm like, oh, no, no, no, no. And I've been thinking. about it and thinking about it and thinking about it and hoping somebody would do it but I don't think anybody's doing it I don't know you think about sending your kids to college now think about sending your kids to a theater based college oh god or a film college right that's a death sentence that's a death sentence there's no chance they get out of there as themselves another idea

is have you heard of the movie the village um it has I think I think there's a real possibility. My wife is making the costumes for that, for that park. We're suggesting that we all, it's a living role that you play. Really, the Amish may have had it right. He can't get out of character now. It's method acting, sweetheart. You have to live like the Amish for.

There are a couple of things that we're going to be talking about next hour that you don't want to miss, and we talk about it in the book, Dark Future. But there's a couple of things that you need to be aware of. It is called degrowth.

And it is happening everywhere. These companies are starting to collapse themselves intentionally. And it's going to happen to everything. I want you to listen to this from John Kerry, our climate czar. And he is speaking at the Agricultural Innovation Mission for Climate Summit. Now, listen to what he says in this clip. John Kerry. Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world, depending a little bit on how you count it,

but it's anywhere from 26 to 33. And we can't get to net zero. We don't get this job done unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution. But with a growing population on the planet, we just crossed the threshold of 8 billion fellow citizens around the world. We just crossed that in this last year. Emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming by mid-century on the current course that we are today.

A two-degree future could result in an additional 600 million people not getting enough to eat. And you just can't continue to both warm the planet while also expecting to feed it. How many times can they go down this road? I know. I think what they're saying here is we have to destroy our food manufacturing system to save our food manufacturing system. This is one of the most Malthusian things I've ever heard. They're going to mess with the food system from seed to fork. If you don't think that they will do this, you're living in a dream world.

You're living in a dream world. You know, what was going to have on this credit score? if I have a bad social score. I have nothing to hide. Really? Let me play the audio here. Cut 12. Play the audio of the social credit score when what your phone does when someone calls you that is behind in their bills.

Listen to this. Okay. So let's say Stu hasn't been keeping up with his bills and is in too much debt according to the state. Well, with all the legal troubles. What happens? Yeah, what happens is your phone goes off as a siren and it says this person is having financial problems. Your credit score will be affected if you talk to them. But if you do talk to them, tell them they need to get their finances in order.

Oh my gosh. You want that? This is what a social credit score is. Do you want that? because it's coming here and to the entire West. You know, people think I'm crazy for saying, yeah, they're going to restrict travel. Oh, no, no, no. No, you don't listen to me on saying that.

You know, read the book or let me show you what just was released this weekend about travel. Yeah, the time of going on vacations, the way we think about vacations, that time is over. That's a quote more next. Uno is sitting down here by my feet just in front of the broadcast desk, and he was the piquiest dog for eating. You could possibly imagine just a little bit more. But anyway, so picky, so picky, and he would not eat his food. And so we got him rough greens. And now he eats and eats and eats and he loves his food he gobbles it down and it's because i think it tastes good to him but also his his whole life has changed now with vitamins minerals probiotics antioxidants you name it

if it's healthy for your dog it's probably in rough greens most dogs love it and will go crazy for it uno went from the beginning of pickiest eater to now wolfing down his food and he's a lot better off because of it. Roughgreens.com slash Beck. Roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833 GLE and N-33. It's 833, Glenn 33, Roughgreens.com slash Beck. You're about to hear fusion of entertainment. This is the Glenn Beck program. So CNN, the propaganda machine that it is,

I think along with the W-EF, the World Economic Forum, just verified one of the things that we write about in dark future is absolutely true. Vacations, you're not going anywhere soon. You're not going anywhere. There are two stories that have come out about vacations as we know it are a thing of the past, and they have to be.

We'll show you the cage that is being built for you right now, and if you don't wake up, if our friends and neighbors don't wake up, they'll be looking at us from inside that cage. We begin there in 60 seconds. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing mankind that he didn't exist. I mean, think about this. Think about the satanic temple right now saying, oh, come on, Satan's not real.

You do satanic rituals. Yeah, not seriously. Oh, okay. All right, then we should stop looking there. That's insane. The second greatest was convincing people that a child, isn't a child, meaning a fetus isn't a human being. How else could it be the case that so many women are choosing to end their baby's lives with abortion

and abortion pills and abortion clinics? Well, there's another lie. You're not worthy. You're not capable. You won't be able to do it. It'll get in the way of what you want. Well, pre-born is trying to change all of that by showing an expecting mom the ultrasound of her baby. They double the chances that she'll choose life because they get rid of one lie.

And that is, it's not a baby. That doubles. Then when pre-born, the ministry comes in and says, look, we are going to help you take care of the baby for the first two years. We're going to help you with clothing, with food and everything else. Then the second lie is taken away that you just won't be able to make it. Will you help? $28, $28 buys an ultra-cent. sound. And if you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way?

Your tax-deductible donation of $5,000 will sponsor Preborn's entire network nationwide for 24 hours. That will help rescue 200 babies to donate, dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby, or donate securely at preborn.com. That's preborn.com slash Beck, sponsored by Preborn. All right. Last hour I was sharing with you a couple of pieces of audio and I want you to hear them again. For anybody who says credit scores, social credit scores, they're not going to happen here in America. And they're not so bad. I have nothing to hide. Let me show you how they are being used. This is if you get a phone call from an undesirable caller, somebody who has a low social,

credit score. For instance, in this case, owes more money than the state thinks they should owe. Instead of getting a phone, just a regular ring, and you look down and you see the name, this is what happens to your phone in China. Listen. Now, this is an undesirable caller. The caller has a lower social credit score than yours. Also, just maybe somebody who owes debt. If you take the call, you risk getting a lower social score. If you do take the call, you're told to tell that person, you got to change your score. Okay. That's what's happening in China. Now, think of the effect that that would have on chilling conversations. Then I played last hour a piece of audio from John Kerry. I need you to understand the W.E.S.

is working on social justice and social control, social credit scores through ESG. That comes from the World Economic Forum. You just heard that play out in China. They're also looking for a net zero world. And to get there, we have to completely change their words, not mine, our entire food system from seed to fork. Wow. And we have to do that by 2030. hurry.

What could possibly go wrong from an entire food industry, throwing out everything that it has taken millennias to learn, throwing it out, giving it to a bunch of governmental eggheads, and they take it from the planting of the seed to fork. Here's what John Kerry, the representative from the United States of America, America said at the Agricultural Innovation Mission for Climate Summit. Listen. Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world, depending a little bit on how you count it,

but it's anywhere from 26 to 33. And we can't get to net zero. We don't get this job done unless agriculture, this front and center is part of the solution. But with a growing population on the planet, We just crossed the threshold of 8 billion fellow citizens around the world. We just crossed that in this last year. Emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming by mid-century on the current course that we are today.

A two-degree future could result in an additional 600 million people not getting enough to eat. And you just can't continue to both warm the planet. planet while also expecting to feed it. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. So, boy, that sounds dark, doesn't it? I mean, that sounds like maybe we should get rid of people, too. And if we just starve a few people to death, will it be that bad? It's for Mother Earth. Now, they're not saying they're going to starve people to death. I'm saying their incompetence will starve people to death.

I'm also saying that we're starting to see a lot of information come out now about what they did and didn't know about the virus and the vaccine. Are you that concerned? Really? Are you that concerned about killing that many people? I mean, you know, the climate is at stake. And if we could just, as Kamala Harris has said, reduce the population, that would be much easier. So we're going to control people by controlling what they eat and how much they can get. We're going to control people through their social justice credit scores. And also if we can control the money, we'll be better off as well. Here is the latest from the WEF on a CBDC. Now, I want you to know what a CBDC is.

That is a central bank. So that's the Federal Reserve. for the Bank of England, a central bank digital currency. It is completely unlike Bitcoin. Bitcoin and everything like Bitcoin is not controlled centrally. It has no ability to turn on and off. A central bank digital currency does. This is from the WEF in their meeting about the benefits of digital money listen and the one final note i will uh make is that if you think about the benefits of digital money there are huge potential gains it's not just about uh digital forms of physical currency you can have programmability you know units of central bank currency with expiry dates

you could have as i argue in my book a potentially better and some people might see it or a darker world where the government decides that units of central bank money can be used to purchase some things but not other things that it deems less desirable like say ammunition or drugs or pornography or something of the sort and that is very powerful in terms of the use of a CBDC. So whatever it deems undesirable. Okay. So now let's see what we have here. We have a climate emergency. We had Blinken come out this weekend and say our climate emergency is just as bad as a full out nuclear war. Hmm.

Okay. So climate emergency is just the same. We have a government that is trying to control people how they think, how they feel, where they move, what they buy, all of these things to change the social structure. We also have ESG changing the small business relationship with big business and big banks and small banks. We have a system being built unlike anything the world or America has ever seen. So now, when you see something like this story from CNN, vacations as we know it are over. it might take on a little more telling view. If you know the things I just told you,

and I'm going to share this story with you in 60 seconds. Stand by. First, if you own a dog, you haven't, you haven't watched him or her experience the joy of rough greens yet. What are you waiting for? It tastes great. At least that's what the dogs tell me. I speak dog.

By the way, did you see that Japanese guy who always wanted to be a collie and spent $15,000 on a collie outfit so somebody can walk him around the park? Oh my gosh, it's just sick. Anyway, well, I hope the zipper gets stuck. Anyway, Rough Greens is extraordinarily good for them. It has all of the things that they need, probiotics, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, you name it.

So let me give you two stories that came out this weekend. You can read all about this in my new book, Dark Future. But two news stories have broken this weekend. One, a new study, this is from CNN, a new study published earlier this week that showed that both the European and North American heat waves would have been all but impossible with climate change. Stu, you're a climate change guy. All but impossible?

What does that mean? All but impossible. all but impossible without climate change or you said with climate change. Without climate change. Okay. We couldn't have had these temperatures without climate change. That's the, that's the new study. The plague of heat and fires that our world is experiencing today is one of

consequence of a 1.2 degree Celsius hike in the global average temperature compared to pre-industrial times. A two degree Celsius rise, which we are currently on target for, exceed by the end of the century would see the average number of heat wave daves increase sixfold across southern Europe so that one in 100 year heat waves could happen every other year even northern Europe blah blah blah the reality is that ongoing heat waves and wildfires provide us with glimpses of worse to come all right so what is this story all about i thought it was about vacations no first we're setting the stage it's horrible

An extreme weather is now endangering much of the world. The events of last week in the Greek island should then give us pause for thought. Not only about the weather we should any longer be flying on holiday to places that may threaten us and our loved ones, but the whole point of having a holiday. For many of us, jetting off every year to a foreign break has almost become instinctive, just something we do without really thinking about it. If Southern Europe is out of bounds due to increasing heat, then the tendency for us, many will find somewhere else that looks, or on the face of it at least, less risky. But this isn't the answer. Climate breakdown is now set to become all pervasive and affect every aspect of our lives and livelihoods.

And already extreme weather can happen pretty much anywhere. So what do you do? Well, we can't go on. It can't go on, nor should it. Both for the peace of mind holiday makers increasingly worried about growing extreme weather or for the good of the planet. Holidays abroad need to be decoupled from flying. Vacations need to return to their roots or at least move in that direction. In particular, holidays abroad need to be decoupled from flying, which means as far as Europe is concerned, train, car or coach. There are issues, of course. Just published Greenpeace analysis revealed that traveling,

by train around Europe is on average four times more expensive than flying. Traveling by road takes longer and is likely to involve hours of frustrating queuing at ports. But on the plus side, if the journey itself becomes part of the holiday, airport scrums and delays are avoided, and most importantly, for the climate, carbon emissions are massively reduced. So I wrote in the book about how flying will become a thing of the past. I told you, just a few weeks ago that airports are being reduced in England already not the private ones just the ones that you would fly into and I would fly into now let me give you another story from England want to jet off to Italy Spain or France

starting in 2024 that's next January all travelers going to European Union countries will not only have to book their flight and hotel and bring their passport, but they also must fill out an online application before traveling on their trip. The online application requires authorization and to pay a fee through the European travel information and authorization system. The system is expected to be operational in 2024. Travelers will be required to fill out personal information including date, place of birth, home address, parents names, phone number, email, nationality, education, occupation, plan travel destinations and criminal history.

Nile Gardner, former aide to the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, said this is Orwellian. I see this is a big government overreach here. It's quite Orwellian with the amount of information that the EU officials are requesting. Most applications are expected to clear in just a few minutes, but some applications could take four days and possibly up to 30 days to process. Once approved, your authorization is valid for three years. US travelers that wish to travel through a European Union will have to go through this application process. It is intensely bureaucratic.

So what is this really about? Is this truly about what? Safety? Is that what they're saying? This is going to provide safety? Wait, to a country or a group of countries that just open up their borders for anybody to come in, they're now doing this for safety? No, they're not. They are going to make your traveling on a plane such a hassle. You going over to Europe so incredibly expensive, so time consuming such a hassle, that you will give up. And eventually they will ban it. That's what's really happening here. The vacations are a thing of the past. because of global warming. That's not true.

It's to decoupleize us and degrowth the United States, Europe, and the rest of the world. This is so unbelievably Malthusian. This is a communist tactic. Wait a minute. You're going to, I have to do what? For every country I'm flying to? I have to what? Well, you can just drive.

Oh, well, I can't drive across the ocean. You're going to take a vacation on the eastern seaboard if you live in Washington State. No, probably not. This takes us back to the time of about 1960, 1950, 60 or 70. I remember in 1969, I was five years old and I was going to. Disneyland and I remember very little of it but I remember it from the pictures we had a dress in a suit I had a little suit the little Frank Sinatra kind of hat and we got dressed up my sisters wore gloves on the plane because it was so rare and it was

something very very special that's what we're going towards we're going towards you not being able to go anywhere Now, by the way, all of this, all of this will be purchased through CBDC, a central bank digital currency, not Bitcoin, a central bank digital currency. And if I might remind you what was just played a second ago, the benefits of central bank digital currency is the programmability with expiry dates. that way they can limit less desirable purchases. Notice he said what we deem to be less desirable, like drugs. Well, aren't they now saying that air travel is less desirable? Aren't they now seeding that ground to tell you that beef is less desirable?

That the food you eat is less desirable than protein? teen rich insects? The answer to that is yes. Find out all about it in the book. Dark Future. Available now. Our sponsor, this half hour is a relief factor. Nancy lives in Texas and she has always liked riding horses.

It was kind of her life's passion, but she had to slow down once she began to get a little older. She had pain in her joints, head to toe, just overbearing. She couldn't ride anymore. Then she heard on this program about. relief factor she decided she'd give it a try here's the thing it actually didn't work for her at least not overnight nancy just didn't give up hope she kept up with it after a few weeks she did begin to notice a difference in the pain levels and after a month her pain was nearly gone

I want to talk to you about this degrowth movement that is going on. So if we roll things back to the way things used to be,

how many people are going to be happy? Well, they claim that you'll be happy. You'll love it and you won't own anything. You may be temporarily happy, or maybe you're happy because you're drugged, or maybe you're happy because you just live in the metaverse. But I contend you won't be happy generationally, because the only way to change your station is the American way, which, you know, happened in 1776 and changed the world.

It was the only place you could go and succeed if you weren't from a family of, you know, farmers. Before you couldn't succeed if you were a farmer. You couldn't own the farm, then own the plant and everything else. You stayed in your station. And that's the way it was always. And the only reason why our parents and grandparents got better is because they could own something. They could own land. They could own property.

They could own stock. And those things grew over time. And they could change their station. They didn't. Once poor, you didn't have to stay poor. Well, now we're planning on. degrowth. Now, let me just ask you, what was the biggest problem with the coronavirus? What was the who was who was hurt the most? Seven million people died. Yes. Then who was hurt the most.

I would say it was the small business. I would say that it was the American way of life and that is not being told by the federal government. what you must and must not do. And I would say the supply chain. You know, we will never get the supply chain back. There's no way to restart it the way it was. We'll never get it back. And what we had was damn near perfect. It was a pipe dream, I think, in the long run, because they didn't consider disruptions,

just like the banks. You know, we're not considering economic collapse. the Central Reserve, they're saying, oh, no, the dollar's not going anywhere. No one will plan for catastrophic collapse. And so they didn't. And there was catastrophic collapse. I believe that was mainly engineered. So that supply chain stopped.

And it taught us something very valuable. Go local. Why aren't we making more steel today? Why aren't we making the thing? Why isn't Ford when they can't get apart from overseas? Why are they just waiting instead of saying, you know what? It's just time to go back to making it ourselves. Because they believe that that's coming back because that's not coming back.

That's not coming back. Why is it? Everything is being dismantled. We're dismantling our energy without replacing it with whatever magic dust we are supposed to have by now. We're destroying everything. I'm going to tomorrow ask James Lindsay to be a part of the program because he just tweeted out something over the weekend. Degrowth equals neo-communism. And they're pushing it right now.

And he had a cover of monthly review, the Independent Socialist magazine. And it has stories in it, planned to growth. Eco-socialism and sustainable human development. The eco-socialist mode of cooperation on technology. and degrowth, Democratic planning for degrowth. Nine, thesis on eco-socialist de-growth. Degrowth is what's happening to us right now. That is truly what is happening, and that is intentional.

If you couldn't bring the rest of the world up to American standards, what you need to do is bring America down and the West down to everybody else's standard. And if you happen to believe that the West stole everything they have, then it's only makes sense that you would want to take their wealth, punish them, because there is no forgiveness in this religion, punish them and take their money and give it to other countries. Now, while we're all realizing that the system is broken, while we all know that, 19 out of the 21 pharmaceuticals that we get, the main ingredients that we get are no longer had in America. They're Chinese.

That 80, I think it's about 80% of all pharmaceuticals come from overseas. Why isn't Pfizer? Why aren't these big American behemoths making new factories here? How come? That would seem logical to me. Why aren't we talking about a national movement to reopen steel mills when most of our steel comes from overseas? Why? Because they are not planning on any growth.

Their target is 2 to 3% inflation. 3% inflation. If you have 3% inflation over 10 years, your dollar loses 40% of $40% inflation. of its value. Wait, in 10 years, everything I've saved loses almost 50% of its value. It's like 38 cents on every dollar. Are you kidding me? And that's acceptable to us? No, they're just counting on you not knowing. Ford reported in March, they were going to lose $3 billion on electric cars in 2023 they're now saying it's 4.5 billion dollars they're going to lose i'm going to talk about this later this week but why would you do that as a country as a company why would you continue to up the

ante when your division is losing 4.5 billion dollars and it appears as though their goal of two million annual cars is not going to be reached. In fact, the sales numbers are going down. EV sales for Ford dropped 2.8 for the quarter. It's Mustang went down 21.1%. Its E-transit electric van went down 23.8%. 25%. any reasonable capitalist cuts their losses and says, no, no, no, we're not expanding this

business. Now, while that is happening, nobody's buying these things. They're wildly expensive. They're more dangerous. And we know for a fact, we don't have the power grid to supply energy to all of these cars. Connecticut announces that they're joining Rhode Island, Maryland, New Jersey, and New Mexico to adopt tough rules to ban the sale of fossil fuel powered vehicles by 2035. So you won't be able to buy anything but a hydro, I mean, an electric vehicle by 2035. What? Is that in the people's best interest? Or is that how you get the zill from the former Soviet. Union. You're making cars that no one wants, but you force people to buy them. You know, I said,

I think it was in January, the first year we were just finding out about it. It was end of January. I had heard about this pandemic in China in December. We started talking about it January 1st. And by the end of January, I said, don't fear the virus. Don't fear the virus. Fear the effects of this virus. And not life and death. I think that will be the smallest casualty. Turns out, I think that might be true.

When we were told billions would die, hundreds of millions would die. No, no, that wasn't true. Billions did not die. But the thing that keeps so many people alive was shut down. And now before it even can come back, they're talking about doing more damage to it. When you read the book Dark Future, there is no other conclusion that you can come to other than you are not important to the global elite. If we really would learn our lesson, we would, we all know, we all know.

The solution is de-globalization, okay? But they're not de-globalizing. They say they're de-globalizing, but they're not. They're just making sure that every single community answers to a global government. So a bigger global machine is going to control. and it's going to control all of the big financial firms, all of the big corporations, and it will make sure that you cannot do the things that would keep your local community safe. You don't believe me, read Dark Future, or if you want to have a lighter look at,

it's still the same information, but, I mean, I had to make it funny.

like they seem to be making. Entering into expensive, unproven technologies that the American consumer doesn't seem to want like electric cars. Obviously like Tesla's made some success there, but, you know, to take a successful product and essentially new coke it, right, into, into electric cars is seemingly what these companies are doing. And as you were talking about it, it's struck me as like this never-ending cycle, right, where these companies have problems.

They go to the government with their handout. The government gives them this money. And while there might not be a overt string attached to it, it's quite clear what is expected once you receive a giant bailout that you're supposed to listen. You're supposed to play ball with the new policies that the government wants. And they want you to go to electric cars. And you know, you think about the future for a company like Ford or GM where if they decided to do what consumers clearly want them to do, which is make really. good cars that work on gas. You know, that's what they want.

Yes, some people like electric cars. If you make a great car, yeah, if you make a great car that runs on gas or is a hybrid, I'm for it as long as it's, you know, competitive. Yeah, it's good to have those options. But for most people, what they want are gas power vehicles right now. And the government is trying to force you into something different. And slowly they're succeeding. and if these companies decided to do what consumers wanted

and provide just gas-powered cars and say, you know what, like let Tesla do the electric thing, they're pretty good at that, people can have that, we're going to do what we do well, their company in a short time will be destroyed because they will be regulated out of existence. And then when they need the bailout again, they won't be able to get it.

Now, this way they go down the road of building these electric cars, they know aren't going to sell very well, and they know they're going to lose money on all of them. They know all this, but they also know if they play ball, when they come back to the government with their handout, the government will once again take care of them and push them down this road, which puts us in a position that you've talked about in both the Great Reset and the Dark Future, where the government is essentially running these companies. These companies are just an arm of government policy. And honestly, like, it makes it into an economy that none of us are familiar.

with it's a it's a totally different system of government well i mean in the old days we used to call it fascism that is the definition of fascism communism the state takes all of the property and the state runs it in fascism they allow private people to own the companies but the government tells them exactly what to do and if they don't like it they squeeze them yeah and and that's fascism not to get too deep into hitlerland here but a lot of the stuff that the these corporations did in Nazi Germany was they were things that they believed would please Hitler, right? It wasn't even a dictate from Hitler himself or even the government.

It were things that they thought would please him. So they would make these massive moves in terrible, terrible policy to try to win over his favor. And gosh, are you not seeing that at the companies today in different ways? Yep. And that's how we got fantastic. time look it up I went to my Patriot supply this weekend I saw my red hawk you would not believe this facility stew you want to talk about an entrepreneur this guy they were overwhelmed by COVID and they realized they didn't have the truck supply chain was down the getting the food

you know prepared went down everything went down so they have I can't I can't remember how many hundreds of thousands of square feet he bought up. And I went through it and you could literally eat off the floor. It was one of the cleanest factories I've ever seen. And I saw the food firsthand that will help you and your family right now. There's all kinds of problems with the food supply that are in the works. I hope it doesn't happen. But prepare yourself, grab yourself a 25% discount on each three-month emergency food kit that you need.

and some of them are outlined in the Bill of Rights. If you agree with the Bill of Rights, then I don't really have a political argument with you, not a real serious one. But if you don't believe in the rights of man and that government can't change these rights, well, then we have problems. There's a guy who I bet I don't agree with politically on anything,

However, his Bill of Rights rights were violated, I think, because he has been swept up in this mob of political correctness. And he dared move to Seattle and then criticize the statue of Lenin that they have in the Fremont District of Seattle. It's been there for decades. It was there when I was a kid. and it never made sense to me. Well, it didn't make sense to him either. Unfortunately, he was an editor at the Seattle Times. He lost his job.

We're going to talk to him in 60 seconds. Everybody's feeling the bite of inflation. One of the worst places you feel is when you're making that monthly credit card payment because it just keeps going up. How much are you paying on interest versus the principal right now? Would you love it if you can find a way to not be doing that and paying all that money to the bank? The same bank, most likely, that took all the money and TARP and still is taking money from the Federal Reserve that we dare not talk about. Love to get out from underneath those high interest rates because they're only going to go up.

I don't know if you saw the bond rate what happened on Friday, but bond and interest rates are directly tied together. and the bond rate went through the roof on Friday. What's going to happen to interest rates? Anybody's guessed. Right now, on average, the people who are looking for a consolidation loan can save about $700 a month. Please call American financing.

David Velotsko is a journalist formerly with the New York Times, and I want to just read something that he wrote just last week that I shared with you last week. I was fired from my job at the Seattle Times after defending Hitler. The only problem is I never defended Hitler. In fact,

my family was hunted by the Nazis. My grandfather was a Nazi killer who almost later died in a concentration camp. And some of my best journalistic work has been exposing neo-Nazi lies. But if you want to hear a story about intolerance in our country's most tolerant city and the erosion of civil discourse in American life, read on. He moved to Seattle. He's lived all over the world. He has been a journalist that has covered everything. All of these grabs for power. He was living in Georgia. He was offered a job at the Seattle Times to be an editorial board member and a columnist. He said, I only knew Seattle by reputation. The Great Outdoors of the Pacific Northwest, a vibrant Asian community, strong Latino community where son or daughter could grow up with Spanish-speaking friends

and residents who routinely approve tax hikes to ensure that those in need help receive it. I should mention that our politics fit the bill of Seattle. I'm a Democratic socialist, and my wife is a DEI trainer. Suffice to say, the city felt like a great fit. I'm sure it did. He thought to himself, what a beautiful new home, how inclusive, how tolerant, how naive. He joins me now. David, welcome to the program.

Thank you for having. You bet. You know, coming on this program is not going to help you with a lot of people in Seattle or who generally might be on your side, but I don't know if you heard any of the broadcast from last week. I think that what is happening to you is absolutely un-American. As you can imagine, as far left as you can imagine, I believe in talking to people.

I think that should I find myself in? I was on Twitter. I was having a conversation. And, you know, I've covered a variety of issues that have had communists come after me in the past. Neo-Nazis have come after me in the past. Generally speaking, you ignore these people online. And generally speaking, your bosses don't even care to hear about it. They're trolls on Twitter.

Brushing aside to the ones who are trolls, the tankies, obviously that's what you do in these situations. There were a few people who seem to be to some degree of good faith. and I don't know, maybe it's my Achilles heel. I believe in civil discourse, good faith dialogue, and even in listening to your harshest critics to see if there's a point to anything that they have to say. And that is what I was doing in this situation. I was engaging people who seemed to,

I said something on Twitter that was poorly phrased and people were asking me, well, what exactly do you mean by this? Are you reason? And I was engaging them, and people were accusing me of, but people were accusing me of being a Nazi, of defending Hitler, of supporting Hitler, of being a Holocaust denier, all of this stuff. And I tried to focus on people who had.

You can't do that anymore. You can't do that anymore. I don't know where you've been living, David. But, you know, I have been doing this forever. And I happen to agree with you that, you know, people aren't really looking for the truth anymore. And even my harshest critics, I have, I listened to them for quite a long time and really did soul searching. Wait a minute. How can so many people say this about me? What am I doing that maybe is causing this?

And so you can clean up what you can clean up that, you know, you're like, okay, I see how they see that. But there's a good portion of America now. And I think more on the left, but some on the right that just don't care. You're either with them or against them. And, you know, there's no place for actual bill of rights unless you agree with me. And that's death to our republic. In my past with tank, you know, I used to cover China and North Korea. And you get a term, you know, those are basically communists who defended the use of Soviet tanks and the Hungarian Revolution.

These are people who are pro-violence communists, basically. They're the worst sort. And usually they're a peculiar account. And for instance, mine, I have a Ukrainian flag. So they'll say, oh, name, and they assume that I'm Jewish, they'll attack me for that. Things of this nature, it's odd hominum. It's first. What's happening saying the opposite.

So people even dug up into my past. They went back years. One individual, a journalist, in fact, found a thread that I had written, which was basically arguing a gay rights argument. And I'm thinking, well, anybody that clicks on this and reads it, who will not click. Nope. Where somebody was arguing, you know, I was going back and forth. And somebody said, discussion about, you know, Ellen, and somebody said, well, You know, Stalin did a lot of good things.

Well, Hitler built the highways. Oh, my gosh. Well, well, protection policies and some kind of food aid program for children. So what? That response. Look for you. Look, he's defending Hitler. Look at him.

He's talking about how Hitler had environmental programs. This guy loves Hitler. That's what they did. But this was a sort of coordinated effort to spin everything I said into the most bad faith interpretation you could possibly imagine. I mean, the status Lenin had the military machinery for his Germany. And if he had had that at his disposal, he knows what he would have accomplished. My argument was poorly phrased. They will say that.

I wish I had been more careful. But it's tantamount to saying that, you know, if I had said, hey, look, this is the logic that people were coming at me with. Oh, oh, you think that killing your whole family is worse than just killing your sister than you being thrown at me. And I'm a Nazi now and I and I am pro. And another thing about this that, go ahead. No, no, no, no, go ahead. Finish. I was, another aspect of this was the, the, was made to me that, well, look, you can't get into

these comparison arguments in the first place. You can't be comparing who was, you know, so I agree that you, you weren't saying, you weren't defending Adolf Hitler. I mean, my God. But maybe you shouldn't be comparing these things. Nobody, you know, it's a bad idea. And I thought about that. I was like, but there's a rich and very well-respected 70-year tradition of historical scholars doing exactly that.

I mean, Hannah, Rent, wrote an entire book, The Origins of Totalitarianism, it was basically all about comparing Hitler and Stalin. I mean, VAL history professor Timothy Snyder recently wrote an article. I think it was in the New York Review of Books and the title was Hitler versus Stalin, who was worse? And I read this article and his argument is

essentially my argument, but I'm saying, nobody said nobody, clearly something else is in here. What do you think that was? I think a couple things, but one of the things I think, no, I'm speculating, so for whatever this is

word. Yeah, I know. But in Seattle, the political spectrum runs from essentially Leninist to Democrat. The Democrats are the right-wingers of right. There's conservative. I think there are some conservatives, but I've got family up there. You're pretty right.

Broadly speaking, you're right. As I wrote in my essay, the Seattle Times editorial board is seen as arch conservative, and I think that's an unfair characterization, but that is a perception. I had experiences introducing myself to people for an

interview or for information on background research, and some of them were, they were quite rude because when as soon as they heard I was on the board, they were, oh, oh, what are you, are you, you must be pro-Trump. And I thought, well, wait, I

why would you assume that just because I work just because I'm on the board. I mean, this is a liberal paper. This is like a very, this is like a tradition, sort of a democratic pro-Biden, I would argue type, you know, not,

not a Trump. But that's the, anyway, that's the perception. And so here you, you have this contingent of individuals. And there's not really an effort to have a meaningful good faith engagement with this person.

It's more just, oh, there's a window of opportunity to attack. this entity. They tend to move on to the next targets when I've said things and riled up the pro-North Korean tankies. They come after you and then they're gone in five days. Yeah, not this, not this one. So David, hang on just a second. I have to take a quick one-minute break and then we'll come back. And I want to talk to you about. So what do you take from all of this? What do you think the lesson is in all of this? Back in just 60 seconds, first,

And David, I have to tell you, I have heard this story from people that, you know, I would deem on the left. And sometimes on the far left, but generally not. And I just kind of, I just, it's, it's hard to listen to because I'm like, I know, I know. I've been saying this for 20 years, but nobody would listen to me. And then they experience what they experience.

And generally speaking, they start to look at things completely differently. What is it that you have learned from this? Well, I mean, I've seen these types of experiences play out. Obviously, I'm in the media. So I've paid attention to these in the past. And, you know, it runs the gamut from, I guess what you would say, a reasonable quote unquote cancellation to, you know, you can't even believe that somebody was, was penalized or even lost their job over, you know, there's examples that just boggled the mind.

And I suppose mine, so I'm not someone who is suddenly waking up and, and like, whoa, this is so unfair because now it happened to me. I've been thinking that this is a serious problem for some time, side of America for the better part of two decades. So kind of looking at it from a distance. And I think the trend that I, you know, there's really a lot of these examples are that you see the same pattern with a sort of a reputable institution caving to what amounts to nothing more really than a Twitter mob. Mob role. They should be ignored.

They should be relegated to the dark corners of, of Twitter essentially. I see it happening. I see the sensitivities over, you know, these, in my case, would be some appeasement of, these individuals, these individuals. Many of them exist. They exist to hate the Seattle Times. They're never going, this is the equivalent of trying to test. And so there would be, the action to this, just ignore it.

Don't react to it. Don't, don't throw good journalists to the wolves to lighten your sled, essentially. And then you see a transition, of course, this plays out many times where these journalists, they move over to Substack or something. I will tell you, David, I wish you the best of luck. What I hope comes from this is a strengthening of the spine for the Bill of Rights from all side. David, thank you so much for being on the program. That was pretty brave of him.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Tuttle Twins. So why is Jordan Peterson so controversial to some people? His books, his speeches, his advice are timeless. But he's under attack. In fact, he's being told by the psychiatric society up in Canada that he has to go through a re-education. Well, his real problem is he promotes personal responsibility. And that is something that the writers of the Tuttle Twins books believe they should be teaching in our schools as well.

Our children need to learn personal responsibility. pick up a free book this week. It's free this week called the Tuttle Twins and the Twelve Rules Boot Camp. It's shipping out right now. Your kids and grandkids can be absorbing all of Jordan Peterson's same value, same emphasis on personal responsibility. All you have to do now is get it for free at Tuttle Twinsbeck.com. That's Tuttle Twinsbeck.com.

Just pay for the shipping. Tuttle Twins and the 12 rules. boot camp available for free now. America has demanded it. It's stewed as America. The return tonight on Blaze TV. BlazeTV.com slash Glenn. Promocode is Glenn. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Just had a guest on, who was a Democratic socialist, somebody who was an editorial writer for the Seattle Times, wrote his first article about how outrageous it is that the Fremont section of Seattle would have a statue of Lenin. And, you know, his family is Jewish, was pursued by the Soviets and Lenin. His father was, or his grandfather, I think, was a Nazi hunter and against the Nazis.

And because he came out and said, this guy is a monster, they called him a Nazi lover, which is so ridiculous. And so he was fired. Welcome to Seattle. That's, I think, that's the thing that's changed, right? it's hard it was interesting listening to him because I think sometimes we have these people on who are maybe of the left or you know certainly more left than us and go through one of these experiences and they come on and they somewhat sound like Ronald Reagan like 1986 like they've been had full conversions and they're like this is like I now I want low taxes too but like that's not who this guy was it was interesting to hear him because he's you know he still believes the things he believes he's just become victimized by this. machine that honestly has largely been built by his side of the argument. And I think it's really interesting to hear from people like that, even if we don't agree with them on a lot of this stuff.

Because, you know, they're, this is not someone who's like friendly to all of our policies. These are people who are getting beat over the head by a complete change in our culture that is incredibly unhealthy. So I agree with you. I didn't expect him to change his policies. He's a well thought out guy. You know, he's been homeless in, I think, Mumbai. You know, you're homeless in Mumbai.

Well, you probably think about things. And he's lived all over the world, and he has, you know, been on the front lines with Ukrainians. And so he's thought about things deeply. And, you know, he says that he is not the kind of democratic socialist that wants to destroy capitalism. He believes in capitalism, et cetera, et cetera. I think he believes in the Bill of Rights. And it doesn't matter, though. It really doesn't matter.

The one thing he said that I disagreed with him on was, you know, there's the kind of cancel culture that, you know, should happen. And then there's the other kind of cancel. No, I don't think there should be any cancel culture. There's no cancel culture. Well, what is that? Yeah. You can say, I disagree with this person.

This person is crazy. dangerous, whatever, but there shouldn't be this machine that kicks in to cancel them for all time. No. Yeah. Because if you get it wrong, that's all that's remembered about that individual. You just destroyed that individual forever, forever. And that is, I mean, I think that's evil. If you don't like him, don't listen to him, don't support him. You can speak out against it. But cancel, Culture? No. Yeah. It's weird. I don't know.

Nobody. What that change is. I mean, I think it's certainly internet related. Like, if you go back in the day, there was always people who had like newsletters sending it to, you know, to people's houses around America that had, you know, outlandish views that most of society would not like. And they weren't like, it wasn't like an all-time focus on people to cancel them and punish them beyond the idea that they wouldn't listen to them.

They would disprove their ideas. They would show that they were wrong. They would say, hey, this is idiotic. They would not pay attention to them at all. You know, that is, of course, you know, the indifference being almost the worst punishment that you could give someone looking for attention like that. That was there.

Indifference is the opposite of love. Yeah. Indifference is. Not hate. Not hate. And it's always fascinating to me when people think that. they know what has been going on in the country. And then they realize, oh, wait, that means me too.

Yeah, the people who are actually, and it's a small number of people, but they are, they hold power, many of them. And they hold sway in our communities and on social media. And that small number of people create big damage and you will never. be, you know, left enough for them or correct enough for them or environmentally friendly enough, there is nothing but their way. Yeah. And their way keeps getting more and more bizarre and more and more anti-human. Yeah.

And I'm so bad. It's really shocking in the places it's showing up, right? Like there's some logical through line that I don't agree with. But there's a logical through line between, okay, these people back in the day used to have their newsletters or whatever. they were really, let's talk about, they were really outlandish person, whoever you think that is. And now they have access to the internet and can get their message to so many more people that we have to do something. Now, I don't agree with this line of thinking at all, but you can understand how someone could come to this idea.

It's too accessible. They're getting too many followers. It's making too much of an impact of our society. We have to do something at the level of social media to ban someone who believes in some crazy conspiracy theory or Nazi beliefs or whatever. And again, I don't agree with this at all. I want the free speech side of this. But like, you can almost understand why it would become an issue today and it wasn't years and years ago. But at a place like the Seattle Times, like this is, these should be the people who are pushing back entirely against this.

Especially, we expect it on the right, but especially with someone on the left, making arguments on the left all the time. and now being fired from their job, it just shows how far this has come. And there's no coincidence that, you know, he's writing this essay for the free press, which is Barry Weiss's, you know, publication. And she's, you know, I like Barry Weiss a lot. She's great, but she came, went through the same thing at the New York Times

where, like, these organizations that might have leaned liberal, but still always fell back on this, okay, well, we'll defend these viewpoints, even if, because we need that free, you know, free speech, that discussion. at least it was somewhat ingrained in their stated beliefs. Now it's the opposite. I mean, they know this isn't true. They know this guy is not a Nazi. They know that.

And they still fired him. I mean, it is a remarkable change in American culture that we should full, it should have a full-throated rejection by our society, especially in the media. And we're honestly seeing the opposite in the media. We're seeing it from people on the right. We're seeing it from people like Elon Musk at some level. We're seeing it from people like Barry Weiss that have to leave these publications and start their own things just to be able to have these conversations. Glenn Greenwald is another one.

Yeah. It's sad. It really is, it's pathetic that these institutions have fallen as far as they have. Well, it's not just the institution. The institutions couldn't fall this far if people inside wouldn't go along with it. Yeah. You know, like Disney. Is that coming from the top or is it just tolerated from the top and now the bottom is absolutely in control and there's nothing the top can do about it?

You know, I wonder, you know, you look at the people that the New York Times has hired and it is, you know, what one generation will tolerate, the next will embrace. New York Times tolerated a lot of bull crap. and once the older generation died out and let go, then the toleration was the top of the line. The next generation embraces it and goes full throttle with it. I mean, that's just where the New York Times and all these people are. Yeah, I mean, Glenn, we did a decade of shows complaining about the New York Times and how liberal they were, right? And we kept, you know, we talked about it all the time.

Most of the people making the decisions that we were complaining about being too liberal have all the been fired. And they've been fired because they made decisions that were too conservative. They made decisions that allowed for free speech and just opinions to be printed that were from the other side. Those people have all been blown out now. And it's a whole new crop of people being run by seemingly, I don't know, 23 year old Twitter users. It really, it's become a complete embarrassment, even to the people that we were complaining about 10 years ago that were too liberal. Those people are embarrassed by it. Most of them have either been fired or quit and started doing something else entirely because they can't get anything done. So I tell you, new

brands are being made every day. The New York Times was known as, you know, pushing the edge and finding the truth. And I don't think any of the generation that's coming up now believes in any of that. They don't get their news. Dead. It's dead from the New York Times. They don't get their news from CNN or Fox or anything else. And they don't trust those institutions. And the same is going to be said. I think that when people like Zuckerberg got into Facebook, it appealed to so many people because it was not a giant global corporation. It was started basically like by kids. And you had freedom. And the older it gave. gets, the more like an old corporation it becomes, the more like that horrible, awful, you know, corporation that nobody wanted anything to do with. It's just a matter of time before all of these things are looked at exactly the same way, if not worse, because I don't think there were a lot of companies that were as bad as everyone said they were. You know, maybe some of them were, but I think

most of them were trying to just make a profit, listen to their shareholders, yada, yada, yada. Some of them were very bad. Now all of them are painted bad, but these corporations, Nike, the New York Times, the Washington Post, any Facebook, Google, any of these brands that were cool, they are not going to be cool. and the swing back on them, I think, is going to be shocking to them, just shocking to them. Because they're going to become the man to the new generation. They are the man. And they're worse than the man was, or at least they're worse than the man let on to. You know, if I'm living in the 70s and the 80s, you know, it's the man, man would never say,

yeah, that's what we're doing. Man never said that. So it allowed people to live in their ignorance, me to live in my ignorance. Oh yeah, they're not the man. See, they say they're not the man. These guys come out and brag about it. These guys come out and say exactly what they're doing. When the younger generation starts to go, wait a minute, they're the man, man.

They're in trouble. They're in real, real trouble. This half hour is Patriot. No, I'm sorry. It's not. Sarah, what is our sponsor this hour? It's Goldline. I don't know if you saw the story that came out. Where was it? Saturday. And it was about our bonds. Our bonds, meaning the bonds that the United States sells so they can print money, we're borrowing money, weren't selling. In fact, people were dumping. And the interest, the interest, interest rate on those bonds went through the roof. And that shouldn't have happened because we just raised the interest rates. Why would our bonds need to have even higher interest rates to get people interested? Well, they did. When that happens, that shows you how much trouble our dollar is in.

And they're going to have to raise interest rates even more, but they have to print more money because nobody will buy our bonds. It's a death cycle. It is.

Welcome to the Glennbeck program I don't know if you know what yellow is, but this is kind of a big deal. This is a trucking company. It was once the largest transporter of goods. It has, it's planning on filing for bankruptcy.

It is now shutting down. They have been operating for nearly 100 years. It's been having financial challenges since. Oh, what a surprise. COVID. They have $1.5 billion in debt, a large portion. of which came from the $700 million pandemic era government loan.

At the time of the loan, the company was facing charges of defrauding the government by overbilling on shipments to the U.S. military. Now, they just can't get out from behind the eight ball. Yellow employed roughly nearly

30,000 people. So they're not going to have jobs. But don't worry. Their largest climate, clients are Walmart, Home Depot, and somebody else. But don't worry. I mean, that's not going to affect the price or delay in things. No, absolutely not.

Certainly not. Right. Right, Stu? Right? I mean, no big deal. Of course not. And none of this is a big deal. We should never worry about any of it.

This is what I learned over a vacation, Glenn slash trial. It was a, you turn it off a little bit and you realize none of it matters. Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry about any of the problems that we're facing today. Just smile. And I've heard you can have a weekly or a daily vacation with certain drugs. If you just start taking them, all the problems kind of go away and everything feels just a okay.

And so that's a strategy I'll be pursuing in the future. Okay, that's really fantastic. Thank you for that. Okay, your bet, tomorrow morning when we meet, are we going to have something about Devin Archer that is deadly to the Bidens to talk about or not? Safety first, I'm going to assume. Good things never happen. I'm going to assume the idea of this.

Of course. You know what? And you're the optimist of the show. I'm saying something, is it? I'm fine. The Glenn Back Program.
