Glenn Beck: Gibbs gaffe #229981


Learn more about the Restoring Honor Rally, 8/28 in Washington DC...

GLENN: We were all ‑‑ I was an advertiser of ‑‑ or General Motors was one of our biggest advertisers here on this program and we walked away from the money really in short order after they took the money. Was it that week or a couple of weeks after? They took the money and I'm like, I just can't do the commercial. I just can't do it. I can't do it. And I wish I could and called GM and said, you know, as soon as you untangle yourself. And, you know, they really believed they could: Glenn, this is just temporary, we're going to ‑‑ uh‑huh. Uh‑huh. And here's what happened in the past. You have these people who think that they can be eaten last.

You know I was telling you what was happening with, you know, Firestone and GM ‑‑ Firestone and Goodyear and Goodrich. What happens is these companies start to be eaten and they realize, if I get on the side of the federal government, I won't get eaten but my competitors will be. And I think that's what's happening with the press. You know, Pat brought up Gibbs and said, you know, look at ‑‑ people in the press, they know what he's saying. They are taking down Rush Limbaugh. That's the way they are looking at it. In their heads, don't stop him here, don't question him on this. He's taking down Rush Limbaugh. If he can take down Rush Limbaugh, let him do it. I'm not going to defend ‑‑ I'm not going to correct Gibbs on this. Because "We want Rush Limbaugh gone." They are going to be eaten next. After they eat the Limbaughs of the world or the mes of the world or the Foxes of the world, they will eat these guys next. That's what happens every single time. And that's what is happening with our press. That's why they are not standing up.

Now Rush comes out yesterday and he makes a great, a great point about the Chevy Volt. I mean, it takes a moron to think that the Chevy Volt is going to be ‑‑ that's the future. Now, it may be a great prototype, may be a good start, but then you have to look at the Nissan Leaf which is more than double the amount of miles for $10,000 less.

STU: Still, would you ever drive a car named Leaf?

GLENN: No, no.

STU: I could never do that. I just couldn't.

GLENN: With an I or an A?

STU: Well, maybe an I. Might be able to do an I. With Leaf I feel so ‑‑

GLENN: I love that.

PAT: That is like Leif Garrett from the Seventies, teen star. Then you really feel like you are driving a machine. Then it's like, yeah, now I'm cool.

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: Remember DaDoRonRon?

GLENN: No, I don't.

PAT: Wait, that was Shaun Cassidy.

GLENN: Yeah. I think we should move on.

STU: The only reason they are going to sell any of these cars, remember it's $40,000 car, but the government is giving you $7500 to buy it. When the government has to pay you to buy something, that's ‑‑

GLENN: The government's paying you $7500, so it's ‑‑

STU: It's going to be in the 30s because they are giving you a $7500 tax credit.

GLENN: But if you pay taxes, you are paying the $7500 to have them give it back to you.

STU: Of course. And not to mention, who's paying enough tax ‑‑ like, for example, if you are making ‑‑ if you are, you know, not making a ton of money and you don't ‑‑ you are not going to qualify for $7500 tax credit because of the way it works. So most of this money's going to go to rich people who are buying these cars because they can afford a $40,000 car and then they are going to get a refund for it anyway. So all this money ‑‑ and this is what happens with hybrid credits all the time. The average person ‑‑ the person who gets a hybrid credit makes six figures.

PAT: The Chevy Volt, the car of the fat cat. Fat cats driving that fabulous Chevy Volt. Man.

GLENN: What a joke.

PAT: Who would buy that thing?

GLENN: So anyway, here they are. Here's Robert Gibbs yesterday bashing Rush Limbaugh saying Rush Limbaugh ‑‑ and this is not Rush Limbaugh's view. "Rush Limbaugh just wanted to walk away, just walk away from all these jobs."

GIBBS: No, because ‑‑ well, I'll say this. Look, Rush Limbaugh and others wanted to walk away. Rush Limbaugh and others saw a million people that worked at these factories, that worked at these parts suppliers, that supported communities and thought we should all just walk away.

GLENN: No. Nobody did.

GIBBS: The president didn't think that walking away from a million jobs in these communities made a lot of economic sense.

GLENN: Okay. Stop for a second. Pause for a second. The president didn't think walking away from these communities. Well, which communities are we talking about? We're talking about, what, Detroit and Ohio? But he didn't have a problem walking away from those communities in Detroit and Ohio and Arizona and Florida and every other state in the union when he closed dealerships for no reason!

STU: Profitable dealerships.

GLENN: Profitable dealerships! They just closed them for no reason!

PAT: And walked away!

GLENN: And you had people who had 100, 150 jobs in each place and they just closed them.

STU: They just left empty buildings sitting in parking lots.

GLENN: He just closed them. So he didn't have a problem walking away from those jobs. He didn't want people walking away from the union jobs. That's the difference. Remember, his agenda is SEIU's agenda. His agenda is the AFL‑CIO agenda. His agenda is the UAE ‑‑ no, that's the country.

PAT: UAW?

GLENN: UAW.

PAT: United Autoworkers?

GLENN: May be the UAE, too.

PAT: Maybe.

GLENN: I'm just sayin'. That's what his agenda is.

PAT: Well, he walked away from an entire state let's not forget. I mean, when the boycott of Arizona came out, he wouldn't even take a stand on that.

GLENN: What about those jobs?

PAT: What about those jobs you are walking away from?

GLENN: We have to do something good for Arizona. We have to do something. As a show we have to do something for Arizona. This is just pissing me off. As a show we've got to do something for Arizona.

All right, go ahead and listen to the rest of this.

GIBBS: And then usual ask Mr. Limbaugh, I don't know what kind of car he drives but I bet it's not an F‑150.

PAT: That's my favorite, favorite quote of all time.

GLENN: No, I guarantee you it's not an F‑150. No, I can't guarantee. He might have one. I don't see Rush, you know, going to the lumberyard on Saturdays, I don't think Rush is, you know, driving his F‑150 to Home Depot to pick up a few nails because he is going to do some work and home improvement around the house. Maybe he is.

PAT: Maybe.

GLENN: Maybe, but I don't, I don't think so.

PAT: Might be an incredible handyman. I don't know.

GLENN: He may be. I don't know.

PAT: Do it yourself guy.

GLENN: I don't know.

PAT: Don't know.

GLENN: He very well may be. But I think that's a pretty good bet that it's probably not an F‑150 that is his daily everyday car.

STU: Well, it's a good bet because you're comparing him to you, which we know you'd never do that. You'd be more likely to go to Jo Ann Fabrics.

GLENN: Don't mess with Jo Ann Fabrics.

PAT: Bed, Bath & Beyond?

GLENN: Don't ‑‑

PAT: Oh, I know. Now we're getting into sacred territory there.

STU: Linens N Things.

GLENN: Here's the best part of this. Here's the best part of this. He's talking about Chrysler and General Motors and he's like, oh, yeah? Well, let me tell you something else! You ask Rush Limbaugh, I can guarantee you he's not, he's not driving around in a... Ford pickup truck! He doesn't even catch it.

PAT: Nope.

GLENN: F... Ford 150.

PAT: I wonder if Limbaugh's riding around in a Toyota Tundra. Ask him that! Ask him about that! Does he have one? The shutting down Government Motors.

GLENN: I'll tell you something else.

PAT: Walking away from those Tundra jobs.

GLENN: You ask him, he's not driving a Nissan Leaf!

PAT: Ask him!

GLENN: Making fun of us, well, I can guarantee you he doesn't care about the ‑‑ he doesn't care about the American worker. If he did, he would be driving a Dongfeng!

It’s no secret that Glenn has a less-than-optimistic view of emerging AI and when you look at the horrifying new technologies that utilize the power of AI it’s hard not to agree.

Here’s a look at 7 new AI technologies that will HORRIFY you:

AI Brainwave Monitoring

Earlier this year during the World Economic Forum's annual meeting, Nita Robinson, a professor of law and philosophy at Duke, presented a video that depicted a “hypothetical” situation where a person's brainwaves are monitored by their earbuds, which have the ability to record brainwaves, decode them with AI, and then send brain reports to their boss and are accessible by government agencies. When the video ends, Robinson makes the terrifying announcement that this AI technology already exists! It's just a matter of time before it's implemented.

If you want to learn more about Brainwave tracking and the WEF, you can watch this clip from the Glenn Beck Program.

AI Voice Cloning

Last month, Glenn covered a terrifying story involving a scammer who created an AI clone of a child's voice in order to scam money out of her terrified parents. While this might sound advanced, a quick Google search reveals that this technology is remarkably accessible and is easily able to replicate the voice of anyone. Imagine the havoc that could be inflicted on your life with an AI clone of your voice.

Like something out of Star Trek, a team of researchers at the University of Texas at Austin developed a new AI that is able to decode brain activity and produce a transcript of a person's thoughts with reasonable accuracy, all without the need for implants or other invasive measures. While the researchers assure us that the technology has major limitations, including the need to train this AI extensively on each subject's brain, it’s only a matter of time before the AI is able to overcome these limitations, and it may be sooner than we would like…

Snapchat's new AI “Friend”

Snapchat

In April the popular social media messaging app Snapchat released a controversial new feature known as “My AI”—an AI chatbot powered by ChatGPT. The new feature acts much like other chatbots. It can answer questions, converse with the user, and offer recommendations. However, unlike other chatbots, it is integrated in such a way that it can be difficult to distinguish from a human user, complete with a customizable avatar and name. Many parents are worried that the friendly appearance of “My AI” will make it hard for their teens to differentiate the bot from a real human. Moreover, the only way to remove the bot is by paying for Snapchat’s premium service, giving parents little recourse for protecting their children.

AI "Big Brother"

In a recent TED talk, former Apple Designer Imran Chaudhri introduced the concept for a new wearable AI device connected to a camera and microphone, enabling the AI to hear and see everything you do. Chaudhri assures us that the device is “privacy-first and safe,” but how safe would you feel with an all-seeing AI accompanying you all day every day?

AI Meddling with Elections

One terrifying potential use for AI could be meddling with elections. The last few years have seen a decline in faith in our elections, and the emergence of AI will only serve to muddy the waters. As previously mentioned, AI voice clones are here and have been proven to have the ability to create compelling facsimiles of political figures. Combined with AI image technology the threat of an AI-generated scandal is high.

If you want to learn more about AI interference with elections you can watch this clip from the Glenn Beck Program.

AI Dating

Another disturbing development is the creation of “Dating AIs”—AI chatbots designed as a replacement for a boyfriend or girlfriend. There is already a variety of options available with prices ranging from free all the way up to $1 a minute, like some sort of dystopian "call girl." There are already reports of people developing genuine emotional attachments to these bots and others who have married or have tried to marry their artificial lovers.

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.

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.
