Don’t let Biden’s inflation reduction celebration FOOL YOU

The Biden administration hosted a celebration on Tuesday, commemorating the Inflation Reduction Act’s passing. All your FAVORITE Democrats were in attendance, touting Joe’s stellar work healing the economy. Nancy Pelosi even said the ‘landmark law’ is ‘cutting costs and…driving down costs of kitchen table items for America’s working families.’ Err…what?! In this clip, Glenn explains why these Democrat claims couldn’t be further from the truth. But most importantly, Glenn says, Americans AREN’T BUYING the LIES.

GLENN: So yesterday, whoa. What a -- what a shindig, you know what I mean?

They were cutting a rug, at the White House.

PAT: And there's not a better party tune than -- than fire and rain.

GLENN: Yeah. Fire and rain.

PAT: About suicides. Horrible instances in your life.

GLENN: I was thinking, up on the roof. Hey, if you're a cancer patient. Don't jump. That's not field goal to happen. Anyway, it was wonderful. Here's Nancy Pelosi. Cut 18. Nancy Pelosi.

NANCY: Inflation Reduction Act within so beautifully name for all that it does. As the name suggests, this landmark law is cutting costs, and driving down --

GLENN: Okay. Stop. Pause, pause. Is that true at all?

PAT: No.

GLENN: No. That's not true. At all. The inflation numbers have come out. That is not true. Do you know the only place where inflation is going down, is energy, oil, gas? Why is that?

Well, because of some demand destruction. And when someone says to you, what the fed is trying to do is -- they're looking for demand destruction. What does that mean?

Well, just put your name, and your bank account, and replace demand with that. So Glenn's bank account, at the -- at the south lake bank.

What the fed is really trying to do, is they're looking for Glenn Beck's account in south lake to be destroyed.

That's literally what demand destruction means.

You won't have the money to be able to buy anything.

So the demand is destroyed. Just keep that in mind, when you hear that.

Now, the other thing, do we have the chart? I think we were going to show it next hour. Yeah. There it is. Look at this chart, Pat.

How would you describe that? A reverse hockey stick?

PAT: Yeah. Exactly, yeah.

GLENN: Okay. Flatline. Oh, and all of a sudden, it just nose dives. Do you know what that is?

PAT: No.

GLENN: That's the strategic oil reserves.

PAT: Oh. Wow. Jeez.

GLENN: And this was before they did another, what? 80 million gallons? Recently.

This is -- this isn't even current.

PAT: Hmm.

GLENN: Look at where our oil reserves are. Isn't that great? I love that.

PAT: Lowest level I think in 40 years.

GLENN: I think it might be ever, at this point. Since we started it in the 1970s. So the strategic oil reserve. That's why your gas price is going down. He is using the strategic oil reserve, to make sure the elections go a little better than they would.

He's trying to convince you, that everything is great. But the thing is, nobody is buying it. Even the people in the audience, cut 19.

VOICE: Mr. President, thank you for unifying and inspiring a vision of a stronger, fair, safer future for all. For our children. Your extraordinary leadership has made this glorious day possible.

GLENN: Okay. Stop. Stop. Just a sec. Just a second. I have to go pack.

Did you hear what she said? It's a safer America. Is it? Is it?

I mean, everything is so demonstrably false.

Is it a safer America?

PAT: No. There's no question.

GLENN: There's no question.

PAT: All the crime stats.

GLENN: Okay. Is it a fairer America?

PAT: No.

GLENN: Okay. Now, why would you say that, Pat?

PAT: Well, for one thing, because some of us are paying for other people's college funds, and taking away their debt for them with our money.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Why are you such a hater? Why are you such a hater?

PAT: I don't know. I'm not sure how that happened.

GLENN: Here's what you really have to quote. Under Joe Biden, the -- the fairness. The -- the gap between rich and poor.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Has gone up for the first time in like eight years.

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: Okay?

So we are actually becoming less fair under Joe Biden.

PAT: Hmm.

GLENN: All right. So she says this.

Go ahead. Play it again, please.

NANCY: Mr. President, thank you for unifying and inspiring a vision of a stronger --

GLENN: Stronger, not true.

NANCY: -- fairer, safer --

GLENN: Safer?

NANCY: -- future for all, for our children. Your extraordinary leadership has made this glorious day possible. I -- that's an applause line.
(laughter)

GLENN: I love that.

PAT: If you have to tell them it's an applause line, it's not an applause line.

GLENN: It's not an applause line. No. It sounded like everybody was sitting there stunned going, you've got to be kidding, right? I mean -- it's an applause line! You will applaud.

PAT: Jeez.

GLENN: It's nuts. And if you happen to not be there. Play a little, please, of James Taylor, just partying down. Listen. He sounds so young too.
(music)

GLENN: Okay.

PAT: All right. Where is the party hat?

GLENN: Yeah, well, the Ink Spots couldn't make it. So they had to go with James Taylor. And it was a party. Unfortunately, this happened in the middle of the party. And the party-goers didn't hear it. But everyone else did. Cut 28. Cut 28, please. This is it?

BIDEN: But for years, Big Pharma blocked Medicare from negotiating lower drug practices.

PAT: Practices. Practices.

VOICE: All right. I don't want to be a party crasher, but we interrupt this celebration for a hard, cold dose of reality. Stocks tanking because inflation is accelerating. The very inflation that the president said, he's made great progress of addressing. Heralding his reduction inflation act.

GLENN: Okay. Stop.

This is -- we are watching. -- we are watching something that rarely happens in the free world.

We're watching the worst propaganda ever devised. This is horrible propaganda.

Horrible propaganda.

The state is saying one thing -- do you remember when I was growing up, so you have to be -- you know, you've got to be an old fart like me. But I remember thinking, how do people in Russia believe any of this stuff?

And it's because they had total control. Total control of everything that was said. Now, imagine if one day, you turn on this program, and all you hear is.

That might -- that might leave a vacuum. And all you can hear is what the government was saying, without an interruption of breaking news of how bad the stock market is going. That's how you believe it. That's why they are silencing any other voice. It is why it is so vital. People ask me all the time. How do I know what's true? What sources do you trust?

Listen to me. I don't trust anybody. I don't even trust -- we check things six ways to Sunday. And if we get it wrong, we come back and we'll tell you.

I don't know how many people do that. I know there are a few sources. Just the news, is a very good source. You should read every day. But if I may, I hate to sound like I'm just hocking this. But I am. Because I believe in it.

BlazeTV.com. Please, become a subscriber. You are going to find more things, on just what happened during covid. You are going to learn -- I mean, man, Steve Deace, and Horowitz, they have gone so deep on to that. They are the leaders on what really happened.

Most of this stuff cannot be put on to social media. In fact, I don't think any of it can be put on social media. Even though, what they've been saying, has been proven time and time again.

They'll come out and admit it. But you still can't say it. Please. Please.

Join us at BlazeTV.com. We really need to stay in touch with each other. And although -- by the way, also, you can get my show prep for this program free every day, at GlennBeck.com. Just sign up for it.

All right. So we have the income inequality spiking for the first time in ten years. We have inflation, the number, the actual number going down.

But only -- only in the category of energy.

And they expect you to say, oh, no. It's getting so much better. But, you know, because you buy other things.

Inflation is actually up, everywhere else. You know, what is true. This is something we talked about yesterday. You know what is true.

When you hear people repeatedly lie to you, or repeatedly wrong, and then don't correct it. When the facts come out. And they go, oh, that's -- wow, it's really -- the Hunter Biden thing. It's really true. If they're hedging their bet at all. If they're not asking for a mea culpa. If they're not saying, please, forgive us for that. Boy, we are wrong. And we learned a lesson. And we're going to do X, Y, and Z from here on out. You've heard the New York Times, bury the fact that it is real. And then just go on like they've reported it real, the whole time. You have to stop listening to those people. And it is time honestly, to move on from the people, who don't have ears or eyes.

This is a really difficult job to do. Because I -- I'm trying to attract a -- a big audience. Get it as big as we possibly can. So more and more people can hear the truth. Or at least hear what I believe is true. And let them decide on their own. But I'm trying to balance. How do I do that?

Because, you know what, there is so many people now, that time is running short. And you need -- you need to know what to do. Not -- not just what's happening. But what to do.

I've been working on these things, for a couple of months now. And my job is to warn you. It's not to give you an out. But there are things that I know, that can be done, and things that you need to know. Warning, for instance, the big raid yesterday, on -- on Mike Lindell, at a Hardee's.

I mean, it's the weirdest thing I've ever heard.

PAT: Just shows you too, they've been following him around.

GLENN: Following him.

PAT: That's incredible.

GLENN: And they follow him, guns a blazing, while he's at a drive-thru at Hardee's. We need your phone. We need your phone. Get out of the car. We need your phone.

What the hell is that? Like he's terrorist number one. What was that all about?

What was the story that happened I think in New Jersey. The woman that was on Tucker Carlson last night.

That said the FBI came armed. Came to her house and said, hey. We understand through an anonymous tip, that you were a January 6th. What is that all about?

PAT: And she wasn't, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, yeah. She wasn't. She wasn't there. And you -- you're getting an anonymous tip, and you're coming with guns?

What are you talking about?

She was terrified. Absolutely terrified.

I don't want you to be terrified. I want you to know -- what your rights are, and exactly how to do things. Coming in -- well, within the next couple of months. Before the election, we are going to do, a serious special. Not an hour long. We're going to do -- you remember when we did the Common Core thing? We brought all the experts in.

And it was like a two-hour extravaganza.

Where we brought the experts in, and we told you exactly what to look for, where to find it, and what to do.

We're going to do that again. And we'll do it as a special before the elections. Because this is happening.

And you need to be prepared. What she said last night, when she said to Tucker. Well, I did this, and this and this. She did the wrong thing. She did the wrong thing. But that's because she didn't know. Because we've never had to deal with this before.

Could passengers have SAVED Iryna Zarutska?

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
