GLENN: That's right, today Barack Obama ready to put science back into her rightful place and how is he going to do that? Spending money, of course. I mean, that's the way you do it. You spend money. I think a lot of conservatives are okay with government spending some of the money on scientific research, but putting science back in her rightful place is apparently very, very expensive. Obama is proposing record outlays for scientific research. Makes you feel so warm and cuddly inside. We're setting a record. Some of the hate mongers say that it's not really worth it. Some of the flat earthers say that the cash we dump into research winds up sometimes being overkill. Some of those scientific deniers like Barack Obama's own economic advisor Austin Goolsbee. Wait a minute, what? Let's look at the summary of an economic paper he wrote. Quote: Conventional wisdom holds that the social rate of return to research and development significantly exceeds the private rate of return and therefore R&D should be subsidized. In the U.S. the government has directly funded a large fraction of the total R&D spending. This paper shows that there is a serious problem with such government efforts to increase inventive activity. Isn't that weird? Government cash isn't the only solution. But where, oh where does that extra cash go? Let's ask Barack Obama's own economic advisor. Quote: The majority of R&D spending is actually just salary payments for R&D workers. Their labor supply, however, is quite inelastic. So when the government funds R&D, a significant fraction of the increased spending goes directly into higher wages. Oh, let me see if I get this straight. Obama ups the spending which winds up going directly to the bottom line of the scientists who sit there and tell us about all the crises that we must spend more money on according to Barack Obama's own economic advisor. But those are just words. We need scientific numbers to show that this is truth. Let's put science in her rightful place. Let me quote Barack Obama's own economic advisor, Austin Goolsbee, one more time. Quote: Because of the higher wages, conventional estimates of the effectiveness of R&D policy may be 30 to 50% too high. Oh. 30 to 50% more, that's it? I mean, that's actually one of the most efficient government programs I think I've ever heard of.

WATCH this pastor chase 'communist' cops out of his church: 'Gestapo is not allowed here!'

Just days after Canadian pastor James Coates was released from prison for refusing to bow to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, several police officers showed up at another church to ensure restrictions were being followed. But Polish pastor Artur Pawlowski of the Cave of Adullam Church in Alberta, Canada, knew his rights, telling the cops not to come back until they had a warrant in hand.

Filling in for Glenn Beck on the radio program this week, Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere played a video of the interaction.

"Please get out. Please get out of this property immediately. Get out!" Pawlowski can be heard yelling at the six officers who entered his church.

"Out! Out! Out! Get out of this property immediately until you come back with a warrant," he continued. "Go out and don't come back. I don't want to talk to you. You Nazis, Gestapo is not allowed here! ... Nazis are not welcome here! Do not come back you Nazi psychopaths. Unbelievable sick, evil people. Intimidating people in a church during the Passover! You Gestapo, Nazi, communist fascists! Don't you dare come back here!"

'Our children don't stand a chance': Glenn Beck EXPOSES how radical Marxism is infiltrating our kids' schools

One of the most dangerous existential threats to the United States is Critical Race Theory, or CRT. As Glenn Beck has exposed over the past year, CRT is gaining momentum and has been preached in our universities for a while now.

Then last August, leaked documents revealed that Marxism, activist ideology of Black Lives Matter, is making its way into grade school classrooms across the country. And since then, things have only gotten more intense.

On next week's Wednesday night special, Glenn will expose the new ways progressives are systematically indoctrinating our kids and culture with this dangerous ideology. But first, it's crucial that you know what your kids may already be learning.

"What I'm about to show you is just the beginning," Glenn said, introducing the leaked documents.

"I found it shocking that Black Lives Matter supporters have developed lesson plans that start from preschool all the way up to the 12th grade," he continued. "Do you know the money it would take to tailor things ... and get it out to the schools and the unions for each age, to be able to brainwash the kids on Marxism and how to destroy capitalism by using race, sexual orientation, and gender?

"Our children don't stand a chance," Glenn added later. "They're not being taught anything except how to be radical activists. What the hell has happened?"

Why would Hunter Biden release a memoir NOW?

During his campaign, President Joe Biden survived scandal after scandal involving his son Hunter — the Ukraine/Burisma scandal, the laptop scandal, the one involving a stripper from Arkansas and a long-lost child. And yet, after it all appeared to have been swept under the rug, Hunter has now released a memoir — "Beautiful Things."

Filling in for Glenn Beck on the radio program this week, Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere discussed Hunter's "horrible" response when asked on "CBS This Morning" if the laptop seized by the FBI in 2019 belonged to him and reviewed a few segments from his new book, which they agreed raises the question: Is Hunter trying to sabotage his father's career?

Glenn Beck: Here's why MAJOR companies are going all-out woke over Georgia's voting laws

Countless corporations — from Delta Air Lines, Coca-Cola, and Porsche to UPS and LinkedIn — are calling out the Georgia voting laws, calling them "restrictive," "racist," and "discriminative." Meanwhile, words like "stakeholder" and "equitable" are starting to show up in their arguments.

On the radio program, Glenn Beck gave the "decoder ring" for what's really going on here, because our society is being completely redesigned in front of our eyes.

There's a reason why all these big businesses are speaking out now, and it has very little to do with genuine ideology, Glenn explained. It's all about ESG scores and forcing "compliance" through the monetization of social justice.

Glenn went on to detail exactly what ESG scores are, how they're calculated, and why these social credit scores explain the latest moves from "woke" companies.
