August 23, 2010
Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program



Glenn Beck is seen here on GlennBeck.TV, a feature available exclusively to Glenn Beck Insider Extreme members. Learn more...

GLENN: I understand the Ground Zero mosque, Media Matters has uncovered audio from 2006 of me defending is that how it's stated?

STU: Actually, flashback: In 2006 short appearance Beck appeared to call Imam Rauf a good Muslim! Baselessly!

PAT: Ooh, look at that headline, too: It's on tape! Glenn Beck and the good Muslim, Imam Rauf.

GLENN: Okay. So I'm on tape, I'm on tape apparently in 2006 defending and calling this Muslim imam a good Muslim.

PAT: A good Muslim. Let's hear it.

STU: You were praising him.

GLENN: I was praising him.

SAWYER: Well, as we mention Pope Benedict XVI has touched down in Turkey, the first ever pope to visit a Muslim country. It has now been two months since he quoted the 14th century scholar who characterized any lure of violence in Islam as evil. It set off a firestorm.

PAT: Here we go. Round 2 of discussion.

SAWYER: I know this is about in some ways of education, lack of understanding. They said can we ever bridge this divide?

PAT: Can we?

SAWYER: If there is a religion in which you can't publish a cartoon without a death threat and the pope

PAT: That's Imam Rauf.

GLENN: At the table?

PAT: At the table and you.

GLENN: I met this guy?

PAT: You've apparently proof positive of calling him a good Muslim!

GLENN: Okay. I met this guy?

PAT: You met him.

GLENN: He was in the room with me?

PAT: He's sitting at the same table.

GLENN: Oh, my goodness.

PAT: I don't know if there was food served, I don't know if you broke bread but you are sitting here.

GLENN: All right, go ahead.

SAWYER: Has to wear we think a flak jacket after having apologized for a statement when he goes to visit the Pope.

GLENN: Hold on just a second. Hold on. I'm sorry. May I just talk about having to wear a flak jacket for statements that you make?

STU: Yeah, but you deserve it.

GLENN: Oh, okay. I'm sorry, go ahead.

STU: Unlike him.

PAT: Come on, don't try to equate that.

SAWYER: Understand about the inflamed feelings of the Muslim community?

IMAM RAUF: Well, the Muslim world has felt for a long time besieged by the west, western faith culture, Western traditions, Western atheism from the Soviet Union. And what we see over the last 30, 40 years is a reaction

PAT: By the way, the Soviets aren't in the West.

GLENN: Thank you for that.

IMAM RAUF: from the action which began and peaked in the first part of the 20th century against religion in general and Islam as well as other traditions.

SAWYER: Do you feel these are overreactions or appropriate reactions to these two events?

IMAM RAUF: I feel they are wrong reactions. These reactions are not at all called for by Islamic teachings. The teachings of Islam are very similar to the teachings of Christianity, of loving the one God and loving thy neighbor. These are the two carbon principles.

SAWYER: All right. Let me turn to Glenn Beck because the Imam Rauf has said this is a group of people. This is not him.

GLENN: Sure.

SAWYER: This is not about all of Islam. This is just a group of people.

GLENN: Sure. I believe it's a small portion of Islam that is

PAT: Is that it? This is a group of people. This is not him.

STU: Sure, it's a group of people.

PAT: You weren't specifically talking about this guy. You know nothing about this guy at this point.

STU: Sure.

PAT: Sure. That's their proof?

GLENN: That is not their proof.

STU: Sure, sure.

GLENN: This is on the Huffington Post? No, come on! This is the Huffington Post?

STU: Sure and then sure again! You said sure, and just to make sure you didn't know what I said, I said sure again! Two sures, twice! Sure, sure!

GLENN: Wait a minute, there's got to be more!

STU: Sure and then sure. What more do you need?

PAT: Let's see if there is. Should we go a little further? That's amazing.

GLENN: Can we go back?

IMAM RAUF: Loving the one god and loving thy neighbor, these are the two carbon principles.

SAWYER: All right. Let me turn to Glenn Beck because the Imam Rauf has said this is a group of people, this is not him. This is not all of Islam.

GLENN: Sure.

SAWYER: This is just a group of people.

GLENN: Sure.

PAT: Twice! There it is again proof of Glenn Beck's endorsement ringing spiritual endorsement of the goodness, mercy and love and good intentions of this man!

GLENN: Sure, sure. Sure.

PAT: Twice!

STU: He did it again! He's now admitted!

GLENN: I double down. I did it four times.

PAT: You doubled down!

GLENN: I did it four times!

PAT: He doubled down!

GLENN: Are you ready for this? It was actually an octet because I just said it four times there and I played it on tape four times! It's an octet of support!

PAT: Glenn Beck is practically a Muslim!

GLENN: (Laughing).

PAT: If you say "Sure" eight times in a row.

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: You've converted to Islam.

STU: Who's married to Imam Rauf? Is it Glenn Beck or Daisy Khan? We don't even know.

PAT: That's ten times!

STU: And then you go on to the hateful comment because as they, of course, have to paint you of hating Muslims all the time.

GLENN: Sure.

STU: They put incredible amounts of emphasis on your "Sure, sure."

GLENN: Read the emphasis on the sure, sure. Is there actually is that what they are saying?

STU: Yes. Hold on one second. Let me find it. It's on the story.

PAT: That is really

GLENN: You've got to be kidding me.

STU: When Diane Sawyer mentioned that Imam Rauf said that radicals are just a group of people and not him.

GLENN: Sure, sure.

STU: Beck seemed to agree saying, sure, sure, end quote.

PAT: That is their proof! She doesn't even say, this guy's a good Muslim. Don't you think so Glenn? That's not what he's responding.

GLENN: I would have said, I'm not sure, he seems like a nice guy. We just met. In two years we'll have absolutely no recollection.

PAT: Let's go back one more time.

IMAM RAUF: peaked in the first part of the 20th century against religion in general

PAT: One more time.

IMAM RAUF: and Islam as well as other traditions.

SAWYER: Do you feel these are over- reactions or appropriate reactions to these two events?

IMAM RAUF: I feel they are wrong reactions. These reactions were not at all called for by Islamic teachings. The teachings of Islam are very similar to the teachings of Christianity, of loving the one god and loving thy neighbor. These are the two carbon principles.

SAWYER: All right, let me talk to Glenn Beck because the Imam Rauf has said this is a group of people. This is not him, this is not all

PAT: Because the Imam Rauf has said this is a group of people.

SAWYER: This is just a group of people.

GLENN: Sure.

STU: You are agreeing this is just a group of people. In fact, Pat, if you let it roll, listen to the next sentence.

GLENN: I believe it's a small portion of Islam that is acting in these ways, but I believe that it is

STU: What a hate monger! What a hate monger?

GLENN: So in other words, I hate all Islam because I say it's a small percentage of Islam that is doing it and, sure, sure.

STU: Sure, sure.

GLENN: Sure, sure.

STU: Sure, sure.

GLENN: Sure, sure.

STU: Sure, sure, sure, sure.

GLENN: I endorse him wholly on everything he's done or said, even though I have no idea who this man is.

STU: This is what they have against you!

GLENN: Sure.

STU: Sure, sure.

GLENN: Sure.

STU: That is it. You've been caught twice in the past two weeks completely lying about this program.

GLENN: Sure.

STU: And then it comes down to when their big proof is "Sure, sure."

PAT: Well, and I love the headline. You've got to go to Huffington Post. I hate to drive traffic. So don't do this. But just trust us on this. It's in red. It's about an inch high.

GLENN: Is it on the front?

PAT: It's on the front. And it's, as soon as you come to HuffingtonPost.com, on tape, colon, Glenn Beck and the good Muslim Imam Rauf.

GLENN: Sure.

STU: Sure. you were saying

PAT: It is.

GLENN: Could you, could you imagine, can you imagine anything.

PAT: Unbelievable.

GLENN: If you tried to make this case on anything in real life.

STU: Sure.

GLENN: Where, that was it.

STU: Sure, sure.

PAT: You guys have both become not just Muslims. You are imams now because you've said sure so many times. That's all it takes.

GLENN: This is unbelievable.

STU: Sure.

PAT: I wouldn't have believed it if

GLENN: Gang.

PAT: If we weren't experiencing this.

STU: When you are putting the word sure, comma, sure, period, in quotes, you have nothing!

7 HORRIFYING new AI technologies: Number 5 will give you the creeps

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”

Image of My AI's contact on Snapchat

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

Open AI | MARCA News

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.


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.

Glenn is bringing THE RECKONING to the Biden family. Here's how YOU can help.

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.

Watch "The Reckoning" below.
