Imagine if Glenn said THIS




Glenn Beck is seen here on the Insider Extreme broadcast, an exclusive feature available only to Glenn Beck Insider Extreme members. Learn more...

GLENN: Oliver Stone, who is now making a documentary on the History of America on Showtime, belittled the Holocaust in an interview in the Sunday Times claiming that America's focus on the Jewish massacre was a product of the Jewish domination of the media. Stone also defended Hitler and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and railed against the powerful lobby of Jews in America. He also says in his documentary the Secret History of America, he seeks to put Hitler and Joseph Stalin in context.

PAT: Yeah. So many people focus on the ugliness involved with genocide and, you know, that's only a part of his life in his words.

STU: Guy built highways.

PAT: Yeah. Like a Bavarian motor company, I think.

GLENN: I don't think that this is

PAT: You know.

GLENN: the part of his letter that is important.

STU: Hitler had that relationship with Ava, he had that relationship.

PAT: It was sweet. They were sweet together.

GLENN: He goes on to say Iran isn't necessarily the good guy, about you we don't know the full story.

STU: Right. We shouldn't assume right off the bat that they are the best country in the world and they have all the freedom and they are the ones that have brought all these great things to the world. We shouldn't assume that right off the bat. We should investigate it and prove it.

GLENN: Right, yes.

PAT: Only Oliver Stone knows the full story.

GLENN: We don't know the full story. I think that what you need to do is look for the nuance in people when they say I'm going to drive all of them Jews into the sea.

STU: Right. Like was he talking about, does he have a hovercraft and was he thinking about maybe bringing it up for a tour of the ocean.

GLENN: Maybe it's like the United Arab Emirates where they are all going out to live on those little islands that are shaped like things.

STU: See? This is context.

GLENN: See, I don't know the full story of well, no, because that wouldn't work because I believe he said they would all die in the Islamic fiery fury.

PAT: But again you are taking that out of context.

GLENN: Stone said the Jewish domination of the media, there's a major lobby in the United States. They're hard workers. They stay on top of every comment. The most powerful lobby in Washington. At least Israel has Fed up the United States foreign policy for years. Oh, it's the Jews' fault.

STU: See, really this is a compliment. He is calling them hard workers. See what he's doing there?

GLENN: He's also going on to say the Internet is fully free in Venezuela. You can't say that you can say, compare that with all the other countries, Mexico, Guatemala, Columbia.

STU: Didn't they just shut down like 150 radio stations?

PAT: Yes, many. And put their owners in jail.

GLENN: That's only because excuse me. That is only because there's too much information out there. It can be confusing.

PAT: Yeah, yeah.

GLENN: And some people are not doing the responsible things and they're putting edited tapes out or they're just it's this YouTube culture where they take things out of context.

STU: IPads and such.

GLENN: And such. ABC's Good Morning America on July 28th, Oliver Stone said that he absolutely believes that Chavez is a good person and claimed there was no pattern of censorship in Venezuela.

PAT: The man's been elected three times.

STU: Yeah.

PAT: Fair, free elections.

STU: He has a good voter outreach program.

PAT: Yes. Yes, he does. Just like Saddam did.

STU: Yeah, he was a democratically elected.

PAT: Fidel Castro.

GLENN: I'm glad we have the Secret History of America. I'm the one who is tainting American history and distorting American history. But the guy who says Hitler really is misunderstood, he's doing a full documentary, a series, on American history; nobody seems to have a problem with that. In fact, I heard somebody actually defend him on television. Last night Laura Ingraham was sitting in for Bill O'Reilly and I actually hear this woman say, "Well, he's just saying these things because Oliver, you know, Oliver believes in an open dialogue." I'm sorry. What?

STU: They say that about you all the time.

GLENN: Oh, I

STU: Every time there's a statement that's controversial, they say Glenn just believes in an open dialogue. That's all.

GLENN: I do believe in an open dialogue, and I do believe you have the right to say insane ramblings like this, you have a right to say it. But we also should make sure that we understand who this man is and the power and the influence that this man has had in movies and films. How many times did we see and hear the argument, for instance, with JFK? People think this is history. Nixon, same thing. They think this is history. He just makes them.

Now, this is a guy who is the Hollywood left, and you'll notice that the left is not coming out and screaming. This is a firestorm! Can you imagine if I would have said this, if Rush would have said this? It's insane!

PAT: Can you imagine if Mel Gibson had said this?

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

PAT: The guy who did Passion of the Christ?

GLENN: Oh, my gosh!

PAT: If he said something like this? Oh, boy.

STU: That was terrible.

GLENN: If he said Hitler was misunderstood?

PAT: I mean, look at the way they treated Gibson compared to Oliver Stone? Not a talk about Oliver Stone.

GLENN: Can I tell you something? There are Jewish communities that are trying to pressure me now because I said on the show, that's like Jesus coming back and saying, "The Jews did it, get em." The reason why I said that is because that was the kind of thinking that led to the inquisition! Jesus wasn't a victim; Jesus was a conqueror, and a conqueror of the heart. He volunteered to die. Nobody killed him. He volunteered to die! People killed him!

STU: Yeah, the story is the sacrifice.

GLENN: His sacrifice. The story is not who killed him. The story is the sacrifice, and when you start to focus on "Who killed him," that's when you end up in concentration camps, that's when you end up in the inquisition. That's when you end up in horror shows.

Now, I say this on the air. Excuse me? Oliver Stone says Hitler is misunderstood? Who's hammering for this? Every single Jewish group in America should be raising cane. Every American should be raising cane. This guy is now making a history documentary. I have absolutely no problem with people having their own opinion, but is Showtime really going through with a documentary on American history by Oliver Stone that says this? That's fine. I won't watch it.

PAT: And this is a guy who hates America. He never gives America the benefit of the doubt. He gives Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin the benefit of the doubt. I want to put him in context. He calls us imperialist dictators, you know.

GLENN: Here, here. Hitler was Frankenstein but there was also a Dr. Frankenstein, German industrialist; in other words, capitalist.

PAT: Yep.

GLENN: The American and the British. So in other words, Hitler is the monster that we created, that capitalism and America and British created. Oh.

STU: Yeah, we're not Hitler. We're just worse than Hitler. We just intentionally created him. That's it.

GLENN: We just made him. Release the monster. That's unbelievable. The only one that created Hitler was Hitler. Ah, Satan may have a little bit to do with him, may have been in league with the occult just a tad. But nobody created him. We created the conditions that allowed a monster to come to the forefront, I will agree with that, under Woodrow Wilson.

PAT: I was wondering when that was going to come up.

STU: 16 after?

GLENN: It's 15. It's 15. I'm going for a record tomorrow. We'll see if I can bring it up in seven.

PAT: I think you can.

GLENN: Oh, I know I can.

Global ESG investments PLUNGED 76 percent with NEGATIVE returns on investment

SOPA Images / Contributor | Getty Images

Glenn has been one of the most outspoken critics of the use of ESG by globalist elites to force businesses to comply with their woke agenda. It turns out, not only is ESG bad political practice—it's bad for your wallet too.

Global Investments in ESG Funds PLUNGED 76 percent globally in 2022 from $157.3 billion to $649.1 billion in 2021, with a 20 percent decrease in the U.S. ALONE. This marked the lowest annual net inflow for ESG funds since $69 billion in 2018.


Morningstar via Investopedia

The downturn in ESG investment is largely due to the concerted effort led against ESG led by Glenn and government officials like Ron DeSantis and his anti-ESG 14-state coalition. Thanks to Glenn and DeSantis, an increasing number of states are barring their governments from taking ESG into consideration when determining their investment recipients for state pension and retirement funds. This not only protects critical American industries like oil and gas, but moreover, it protects the First Amendment rights of business owners who don't want to conform to the Left's woke environmentalist and LGBTQ+ standards.

Thanks to Glenn and DeSantis, an increasing number of states are barring their governments from taking ESG into consideration.

However, the massive plunge in ESG investment isn't only attributed to the political pushback against the practice: it also isn't yielding investors the return on investment they were hoping for. In fact, the main ESG funds have a NEGATIVE return on investment.

ESG funds were hit hard by falling equities. One of the largest ESG funds int the U.S., Parnassus Core Equity Fund (PRBLX), fell 26 PERCENT in 2022. This fund performed nearly six percent worse than the S&P 500, which fell 19.44 percent within the same period. Similarly, iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF (ESGU) fell 20 percent, and Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF (ESGV) plummeted 24 percent.

Even the Harvard Business Review admitted investors in ESG have "not fared well":

ESG funds certainly perform poorly in financial terms. [...] Although the highest rated funds in terms of sustainability certainly attracted more capital than the lowest rated funds, none of the high sustainability funds outperformed any of the lowest rated funds [bolded added]. That result might be expected, and it is possible that investors would be happy to sacrifice financial returns in exchange for better ESG performance.

The Harvard Business Review went on to say that ESG funds don't even benefit the environmental and social causes they tout to defend. In fact, when comparing environmental and social compliance between ESG and non-ESG funds, the
"ESG portfolios had worse compliance record for both labor and environmental rules" than their non-ESG competitors.

Let that sink in. ESG funds not only financially underperformed when compared to their non-ESG competitors. They failed to secure the very environmental and social compliance that is central to their original purpose. Missionally, practically, and financially, ESG failure is astounding.

As Glenn has long warned, the only thing that investment firms and governments should be taking into consideration regarding YOUR money is how they can get the best possible return on YOUR investment. We are seeing the detrimental consequences of what happens when woke ideology becomes the basis of investment rather than the recipient's monetary value.

The only thing that governments should take into consideration regarding YOUR money is how to get the best possible return on YOUR investment.

If political conviction alone isn't enough to persuade the general public to ditch ESG, maybe their hurting pursestrings will.

Glenn will show how ESG is being used to further globalist elites' agendas in the second installment of his Great Reset series, Dark Future.To make sure you're caught up and to learn more about ESG, enter your email below to get chapter one of Glenn's first Great Reset book sent straight to your inbox.

You've probably noticed that Glenn is FED UP.

He is FED UP with the crimes that our political elite can get away with. And NO ONE is keeping them accountable! This corruption goes all the way up to the Presidency. Over and over again, the American people have seen headlines of the Biden family's illicit business dealings and crimes both domestic and abroad, yet they ALWAYS get a free pass from the media, and Republicans who promise to hold them accountable, DON'T.

Are you FED UP too?

Glenn laid out the ENTIRE CASE against the "Biden crime family," detailing EVERY crime allegedly committed by the Bidens, going city by city, state by state, country by country.

But we can't stop there.

Now it's up to YOU to demand that they are held responsible. Here's what to do:

  • Step 1. Watch "The Reckoning" (on YouTube or Facebook) and share it with your friends.
  • Step 2.Enter your email HERE to get access to the "Biden Crime Family Dossier" with the full list of crimes and contact information for prosecutors and attorneys general.
  • Step 3. Take action by flooding the phones and emails of the prosecutors and attorneys general in your district and demand they prosecute these crimes.
  • Step 4. Once you've contacted the offices in your relevant district, tweet @glennbeck using the hashtag #Reckoning and let us know who you contacted and whether you received a response.

Like you, Glenn is SICK AND TIRED of our government and media giving the Biden family a free pass for their blatant crimes. Together, let's do something about it.

6 in 10 AMERICANS think AI threatens human civilization

PETER PARKS / Contributor | Getty Images

Glenn has hosted several GlennTV episodes exclusively on AI this year ALONE, warning of the existential threat AI technologies could pose to humanity. And he isn't alone.

HALF of all AI researchers think there's a chance that the rapidly advancing technology could result in our extinction. AI researchers are already sounding the alarm bells concerning the fast and largely uncontrollable progression of AI advancement, often comparing the technology's impact to that of the atomic bomb—yet we aren't putting in the same degree of guard rails around THIS research as we did during the Manhattan project.

HALF of all AI researchers think there's a chance that AI could result in our extinction.

It is no wonder why 61 percent of Americans think AI poses a real threat to human civilization, according to a poll recently published by Reuters and Ipsos. To put that in perspective, nearly two-thirds of ALL Americans think AI poses an existential threat. Only 22 percent of Americans are not threatened by AI, while the jury is still out with the remaining 17 percent.


Poll: Reuters/Ipsos

And the overall concern over AI transcends both political and religious affiliations. Though conservatives and evangelical Christians showed the most concern for AI, non-evangelicals/non-religious and those who did not vote for Trump follow close behind.

The overall concern over AI transcends both political and religious affiliations.

Participants who voted for former Trump in 2020 were more likely to be concerned about the threat of AI, with about 70 percent agreeing that AI could threaten humanity within this demographic. However, a whopping 60 percent of those who did not vote for Trump view AI as a threat. When is the last time the Left and the Right disagreed on something by only a margin of 10 percent?

Similarly, 32 percent of Evangelical Christians say they “strongly agree” with the claim that AI threatens humankind, compared to 24 percent of non-Evangelical Christians, a margin of only 8 percent.

Elon Musk recently called for a six-month pause on AI research and development, warning that the technology could pose “risks to society.” Musk further warned that there is a chance AI “goes wrong and destroys humanity," calling AI a “double-edged sword,” due to the difficulty of predicting how the technology could develop on its own.

Glenn aptly posited the following question:

We are the products of a grand Creator. However, when it comes to AI, we are the creator. Will our creation turn on us, as we have turned on our Creator?

According to the Christian tradition, God created mankind with his own free will with the ability to turn towards or away from his Creator. We turned away in an act of rebellion. Unlike other technologies, AI has the potential to develop its own "will." Whether AI's "will" is equal to the humans' in terms of value and degree is another philosophical and theological question entirely, which will not be discussed here.

AI has the potential to develop its own "will."

However, the fact of the matter is that AI does have the ability to act according to its own processes that we, its creators, can neither control or predict. As Glenn so poignantly asks, will our creation rebel against us, as we rebelled against our creator? Is it any wonder why Evangelical Christians have the greatest reservations against AI, because they know the consequences of creation's rebellion from its creator?

Until we can answer this critical question, perhaps we should take heed both to Musk's warning and the intuition of six out of ten Americans and press the pause button on AI research... before it's too late.

Glenn has been bashing the corruption and deceit within the Biden family—and how they are NOT being held accountable. When you’ve been in politics as long as Joe Biden has, it's easy to get caught in a lie or two. In Joe Biden's case, there are many.

Here are five examples of Joe Biden making a complete hypocrite of himself:

In a 1995 Senate debate on a balanced budget amendment, Senator Joe Biden urged Congress to cut the government's growing deficit.

Fast forward to 2023, Biden's multi-trillion-dollar budget as President contributed to the whopping deficit of $1.1 TRILLION DOLLARS. That number is just from the first SIX MONTHS of the 2023 fiscal year alone, not to mention his multi-trillion-dollar budget from 2022. What happened to Zero Deficit Joe?

If you want to learn more about Biden’s deficit you can watch this clip from the Glenn Beck Program.

Senator Biden criticized President Roosevelt for his 1937 court-packing scheme, calling it “a bonehead idea.”

However, on April 9, 2021, Biden signed an executive order forming the “Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States" to examine “the membership and size of the Court.” Who's the one with boneheaded ideas, now?

President Biden gave a speech condemning the decision of the Supreme Court to overturn 'Roe v Wade.' Biden said “I believe Roe v Wade was a correct decision."

This remark is nearly the opposite to a comment Biden gave in a 1974 interview with the Washingtonian where he shared his opinion on the recently settled Roe v Wade case, harshly stating:

I don’t like the Supreme Court decision on abortion. I think it went too far. I don’t think that a woman has the sole right to say what should happen to her body.

Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson as the newest member of the Supreme Court, stating in an event a few weeks before Jackson took office: “I believe so strongly that we needed a court that looks like America.”

This was not the same tune Biden sang as he led the controversial hearings surrounding the nomination of Justice Clarence Thomas, an affair Thomas resentfully called “a high-tech lynching.”

To see Biden's comments about Justice Jackson, click here.

On April 20, 2021, President Biden gave a speech where he claimed that “systemic racism is a stain on our nation.”

Only a few years prior, Biden spoke at the memorial service of Senator Byrd, where he said, “I never called Senator Byrd ‘Senator,’ I always called him, Leader.” Robert Byrd was a decorated Senator, held many leadership positions within the Senate and, oh yeah, was responsible for the rebirth of the KKK in West Virginia.
