Glenn Beck: What does it all mean?

GLENN: We're keeping a scrapbook of all of the newspaper articles of everything leading up and afterwards. If you could send them to us, we sure would love to see yours. Also there's coverage on all of the front pages that we had access to this weekend at GlennBeck.com. There's also a place where you can upload your photos. So we have a central place. This made history this weekend. This will be in American history books, as I told you it would be, and I have something that I cannot wait to tell you about. In fact, I couldn't wait. I found out right before I went to bed on Saturday night and because a phone call came in and I actually went out and everybody was going into their bedrooms and everybody was tired. And I got everybody up, told them the news, and I can't wait to tell you. I hope I can be able to tell you maybe by the end of the show, if not sometime by the end of the week. But this made history this week.

Now, what does it mean? Because if it's just another, as the media says, it's just a tea party rally, if it's just another tea party rally, well, then that doesn't mean anything. Because gathering people in the public square to protest something doesn't mean anything. It shows that there are people that are willing to stand, but to do what? That was the message that nobody has covered. With firm reliance on divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. That is the key.

So here's what I want you to do in the next 40 days. Remember the phrase that came from Thomas Jefferson. It changed my life. Question with the quote, the full quote is, when it comes to religion, above all things fix reason firmly in her seat and question with boldness even the very existence of God. For if there be a God, he must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear.

That changed my life. Fix reason firmly in her seat. And question with boldness even the very existence of God. Find out what you believe. Don't go to church because you've always gone to church. It's not enough. You must have a personal relationship. You must know that he exists. You must know who you are in relation to him. When times are when times are troubled I'm almost quoting the Beatles here. I'm trying hard not to say Mother Mary comes to me. But when times are troubled, you must know that everything is going to be okay. Because he cares. And you must trust him.

Remember I have said for the last two years, there's going to come a time when you are going to feel, you're going to hear inside yourself, turn around, go the other way, you're in danger. And I've told you for two years, please work on listening to that inner voice, please, please. You're going to need that you must exercise that muscle. Now is the time. I can't emphasize enough. You must work on that. You must know him personally. Because if you know him, then you can have firm reliance. With firm reliance on divine providence. Remember, that's that the Lord will help you along the way if you're living within His God's not on your side. He's not on my side. We must align ourselves so we can be on His side. And then you are in the flow of life and things just coincidentally happen that help keep moving you forward. That's divine providence. It's not, God is on my side and I cannot be stopped. That's arrogance. That will get you killed. With firm reliance on divine providence. That also implies that once you know it, you know that you have a purpose. When I say that I believe that it's been my job to tell you these things, you must understand, that doesn't make me special in any way. I don't believe that makes me special. Quite honestly it's a curse most of my time. I'm sorry I don't it is a blessing to be in service, but it's hard times. And it will be with you as well. But all is well, my friend. It is all going to be more than good. You are in his service. You were born for a reason. There's a reason you're here. There's a reason you were born at this time. There's a reason you were born having the skill set that you have. Now, you may not think that you have any real skill set.

A story that I didn't have time to tell that I wanted to tell so badly on the air or on the stage is a story about and I think I may have told it on Friday. Stop me if I've told this, Stu. But the story of my friend Keith Ablow, where a third grade teacher stopped a guy from killing his family. Now, how did that happen? He remembered what the teacher had said when he got in trouble and said, you know, everybody says you're a bad boy. You're not a bad boy. When he was in third grade, he got into trouble, and the teacher could have just flown off the handle. But instead pulled him aside and said, you know, Johnny, you work, you work so hard and here you are doing this and it's because people say you're a bad boy. But you're not. You're good. You're a good boy. 30 years later he's about to kill someone and he stops because he hears her words. That's not who you are. You're a good boy. You may not think you have any skills. You may not think you have a purpose. I'll bet you that that third grade teacher had no idea. She might have died at the end of her life and said, I didn't accomplish anything. She saved lives! Just by doing what she was supposed to do! By not flying off the handle at a kid who was a bad kid all the time and getting into trouble. Instead of chastising, she hugged him and said, you're not that boy. She saved lives. Do not discount the role you play. Do not look to others and say, well, they have a bigger voice, they have a bigger platform. You may be the most important person on the planet at this time, and you may not accomplish anything in your head. But you are the key. You just have to listen to that voice inside and then do what he asks you to do. Unless he's telling you to kill someone. Then that's a voice that needs to be medicated. Firm reliance and divine providence. You know who he is. You can count on him. You know you are going to be okay, and you know your relationship with him, that you have a purpose. With firm reliance on divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives. Well, that's MLK, that's Lincoln, that's all the veterans. But it's also George Washington, who didn't die. He just gave everything to his country. He served and served and served and served and served and then served some more. And then he went home and then they knocked on his door and he answered the door and he said, have I not yet done enough for my country? The answer is no. And he got onto his horse and he served, and he served, and he served. We're going to have to give things up to serve, but it's good. We mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes. It means we must do the hard things now. We may not be able to retire at 65. We may not be able to go and live our dreams. We may not be able to have that, that house or that car or whatever it is. We may the not be able to afford X, Y or Z, but that's okay. Because we will sacrifice our fortunes so our children don't have to pay for our lifestyle today. It's immoral to stick them with this bill. It's immoral.

As a father of a special needs child, I know when my daughter had strokes at birth, I got down on my knees and I said, Lord, give it to me. Please, I'll take it on. Please let her have a life. Please. Where are those parents now? I'll tell you where they were this last weekend. They were in Washington, D.C. You know and I know. We will all take the hard hit for our kids, our fortunes, our benefits, our perks, our soft lifestyle. And I know a lot of people say I have worked and I've struggled my whole life. I know that. I know that. I know. But you are going to be asked to struggle a little more not only for your children but for your grandchildren. Tithe 10%. I introduced the Black Robe Regiment. These people are in trouble. They are in trouble. The media hasn't noticed them yet quite honestly because the adversary hasn't noticed them yet. We're not battling flesh and blood. The great thing is darkness does not understand light. They have no idea. It has no idea where we're headed. And that's good. But understand once it does, the very gates of hell are going to open up. These people are going to be challenged in court, they are going to be challenged with the IRS, in their own pulpits they are going to be challenged. People will leave their churches because they are going to start saying, look, there are certain absolutes, there are certain things. All men are created and created equally, and they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, which means you can't take them away. You can't destroy them. These rights are my right to life, and that means all of it, my right to life. You do not diminish life at the end, you do not diminish life in the inside. My right to life, my right to liberty, which means you can't just pick me up. You can't do these things. I have a right. It's given from God. It's inalienable, which means you cannot take it away. And pursuit of happiness: I have a right to keep the sweat from my own brow. I have a right to dream. I have a right to pursue my dreams. I do not have a right to success. I have a right to pursue what will make me and my family happy. That's what they are going to preach. And if Americans understand those things, everything else will solve itself. You must tithe because these people are going to be in trouble. They are going to come under attack. You must seek these people out. You must seek these rabbis, these priests, these pastors. If they are teaching you about politics, that's another story. Run from them if they do. If they say vote for a Republican or a Democrat or independent, run from them.

And the last one is our sacred honor, and that is truth. Tell the truth in all things. Tell the truth when it hurts you. Tell the truth especially when it hurts you. Tell the truth at your own peril. Tell the truth. Stand in the blaze of the truth. If you are standing in the truth, nothing can hurt you. You will be behind the shield of the Lord. Stand in the truth. And pass these things on to your children. And we will not just survive. We will prevail.

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.
