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.

WARNING: How America Elects a Socialist President in 2028 | Glenn TV | Ep 444

The rise of Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old socialist who just won the Democratic primary for mayor, is not just a political earthquake shaking New York City — it’s a warning for the rest of America. Backed by Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the Democratic Socialists of America, Mamdani promises free everything, to tax the rich, and to dismantle capitalism. There’s nothing new about this tired strategy, but the media is propping him up as a new political genius. And with Democrat leaders lining up behind him, it’s clear: This radicalism isn’t fringe anymore. It’s the Democratic Party’s future. Mamdani’s rise is part of a larger movement that’s rewriting America’s values. Glenn Beck explains how New York is the prototype for the Left’s socialist makeover of America. Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Standford, gives a terrifying prediction on Mamdani’s mayoral race chances and warns the revolution is coming for mainstream Democrats. He also dives into MAGA’s frustration with the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files.

Salena Zito reveals WHY Trump said “Fight! Fight! Fight!”

“I have a new purpose,” then-candidate Donald Trump told reporter Salena Zito after surviving the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Salena joins Glenn Beck to reveal what Trump told her about God, his purpose in life, and why he really said, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, as she details in her new book, “Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland”.

GLENN: Salena, congratulations on your book. It is so good.

Just started reading it. Or listening to it, last night.

And I wish you would have -- I wish you would have read it. But, you know, the lady you have reading it is really good.

I just enjoy the way you tell stories.

The writing of this is the best explanation on who Trump supporters are. That I think I've ever read, from anybody.

It's really good.

And the description of your experience there at the edge of the stage with Donald Trump is pretty remarkable as well. Welcome to the program.

SALENA: Thank you, Glenn. Thank you so much for having me.

You know, I was thinking about this, as I was ready to come on. You and I have been along for this ride forever. For what?

Since 2006? 2005?

Like 20 years, right?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

SALENA: And I've been chronicling the American people for probably ten more years, before that. And it's really remarkable to me, as watching how this coalition has grown. Right?

And watching how people have the -- have become more aspirational.

And that's -- and that is what the conservative populist coalition is, right?

It is the aspirations of many, but the celebration of the individual.

And chronicling them, yeah. Has been -- has been, a great honor.

GLENN: You know, I was thinking about this yesterday, when -- when Elon Musk said he was starting another party.

And somebody asked me, well, isn't he doing what the Tea Party tried to do?

No. The Tea Party was not going to start a new party.

It was to -- you know, it was to coerce and convince the Republican Party to do the right thing. And it worked in many ways. It didn't accomplish what we hoped.

But it did accomplish a lot of things.

Donald Trump is a result of the Tea Party.

I truly believe that. And a lot of the people that were -- right?

Were with Donald Trump, are the people that were with the Tea Party.


SALENA: That's absolutely right.

So that was the inception.

So American politics has always had movements, that have been just outside of a party. Or within a party.

That galvanize and broaden the coalition. Right? They don't take away. Or walk away, and become another party.

If anything, if there is a third party out there, it's almost a Republican Party.

Because it has changed in so many viable and meaningful ways. And the Tea Party didn't go away. It strengthened and broadened the Republican Party. Because these weren't just Republicans that became part of this party.

It was independents. It was Democrats.

And just unhappy with the establishment Republicans. And unhappy with Democrats.

And that -- that movement is what we -- what I see today.

What I see every day. What I saw that day, in butler, when I showed I happen at that rally.

As I do, so many rallies, you know, throughout my career. And that one was riveting and changed everything.

GLENN: You made a great case in the opening chapter. You talk about how things were going for Donald Trump.

And how this moment really did change everything for Donald Trump.

Changed the trajectory, changed the mood.

I mean, Elon Musk was not on the Trump train, until this.

SALENA: Yeah.

GLENN: Moment. What do I -- what changed? How -- how did that work?

And -- and I contend, that we would have much more profound change, had the media actually done their job and reported this the way it really was. Pragmatism

SALENA: You know, and people will find this in the book. I'm laying on the ground with an agent on top of me.

I'm 4 feet away from the president.

And there's -- there's notices coming up on my phone. Saying, he was hit by broken glass.

And to this take, that remains part of this sibling culture, in American politics.

Because reporters were -- were so anxious to -- to right what they believed happened.

As opposed to what happened.

And it's been a continual frustration of mine, as a reporter, who is on the ground, all the time.

And I'll tell you, what changed in that moment.

And I say a nuance, and I believe nuance is dead in American journalism.

But it was a nuance and it was a powerful conversation, that I had with President Trump, the next day. He called me the next morning.

But it's a powerful conversation I had with him, just two weeks ago.

When he made this decision to say, fight, fight, fight.

People have put in their heads, why they think he said it. But he told me why he said that. And he said, Salena, in that moment, I was not Donald Trump the man. I was a former president. I was quite possibly going to be president again.

And I had an obligation to the country, and to the office that I have served in, to project strength. To project resolve.

To project that we will not be defeated.

And it's sort of like a symbolic eagle, that is always -- you know, that symbol that we look at, when we think about our country.

He said, that's why I said that. I didn't want the people behind me panicking. I didn't want the people watching, panicking.

I had to show strength. And it's that nuance -- that I think people really picked up on.

And galvanized people.

GLENN: So he told me, when he was laying down on the stage.

And you can hear him. Let me get up. Let me get up.

I've got to get up.

He told me, as I was laying on the stage. I asked him, what were you thinking? What was going through your head? Now, Salena, I don't know about you.

But with me. It would be like, how do I get off the stage? My first was survival.

He said, what was going on through his mind was, you're not pathetic. This is pathetic.

You're not afraid. Get up.

Get up.

And so is that what informed his fight, fight, fight, of that by the time that he's standing up, he's thinking, I'm a symbol? Or do you think he was thinking, I'm a symbol, this looks pathetic. It makes you look weak.

Stand up. How do you think that actually happened?

SALENA: He thinks, and we just talked about this weeks ago. He -- you know, and this is something that he's really thought about.

Right? You know, he's gone over and over and over. And also, purpose and God. Right? These are things that have lingered with him.

You know, he -- he thought, yes.

He did think, it was pathetic that he was on the ground. But he wasn't thinking about, I'm Donald Trump. It's pathetic.

He's thinking, my country is symbolically on the ground. I need to get up, and I need to show that my country is strong.

That our country is resolute.

And I need people to see that.

We can't go on looking like pathetic.

Right?

And I think that then goes to that image of Biden.

GLENN: You have been with so many presidents.

How many presidents do you think that you've personally been with, would have thought that and reacted that way?

SALENA: Probably only Reagan. Reagan would have. Reagan probably would have thought that.

And if you remember how he was out like standing outside.

You know, waving out the window. Right?

After he was shot.

GLENN: At the hospital, right.

SALENA: Had he not been knocked out, unconscious, you know, he probably would have done the same thing.

Because he was someone who deeply believed in American exceptionalism.

And American exceptionalism does not go lay on the ground.

GLENN: And the symbol.

Right. The symbol of the presidency.

SALENA: Yeah. Absolutely. And I think that affects him today.

GLENN: So let me go back to God.

Because you talked to him the next day. And your book Butler.

He calls you up.

I love the fact that your parents would be ashamed of you. On what you said to him.

The language you used. That you just have to read the book.

It's just a great part.

But he calls you the next morning. And wants to know if you're okay.

And you -- you then start talking to him, about God.

And I was -- I was thinking about this, as I was listening to it. You know, Lincoln said, I wasn't -- I wasn't a Christian.

Even though, he was.

I wasn't a Christian, when I was elected. I wasn't a Christian when my son died.

I became a Christian at Gettysburg.

Is -- is -- I mean, I believe Donald Trump always believes in God, et cetera, et cetera.

Do you think there was a real profound change at Butler with him?


SALENA: Absolutely. You know, he called me seven times that day. Seven times, the take after seven.

GLENN: Crazy.

SALENA: Talked about. And I think he was looking for someone that he knew, that was there. And to try to sort it out.

Right? And I let him do most of the talking. I didn't pressure him.

At all. I believed that he was having -- you know, he was struggling. And he needed to just talk. And I believed my purpose was to listen.

Right? I know other reporters would have handled it differently. And that's okay. That's not the kind of reporter that I am.

And I myself was having my own like, why didn't I die?

Right?

Because it went right over my head.

And -- and so I -- he had the conversation about God.

He's funny. I thought it was the biggest mosquito in the world that hit me.

But he had talked profoundly about purpose. You know, and God.

And how God was in that moment.

It --

GLENN: I love the way you -- in the book, I love the way you said that as he's kind of working it out in his own he head.

He was like, you know, I -- I -- I always knew that there was some sort of, you know -- that God was present.

He said, but now that this has happened.

I look back at all of the trials.

All of the tribulations. Literally, the trials.

All of the things that have happened. And he's like, I realized God was there the whole time.

SALENA: Yes. He does. And it's fascinating to have been that witness to history, to have those conversations with him. Because I'm telling you. And y'all know, I can talk. I didn't say much of anything.

I just -- I just listened. I felt that was my purpose, in that moment.

To give him that space, to work it out.

I'm someone that is, you know, believes in God.

I'm Catholic. I followed my faith.

And -- and so, I thought, well, this is why God put me here. Right?

And to -- to have that -- to hear him talk about purpose, to hear him say, Salena. Why did I put a chart down?

I'm like, sir. I don't know. I thought you were Ross Perot for a second.

He never has a chart. And he laughed. And then he said, why did I put that chart down?

By that term, I never turned my head away from people at the rally. That's true.

That relationship is very transactional. It's very -- they feed off of each other.

It's a very emotive moment when you attend a rally. Because he has a way of talking at a rally. That you believe that you are seeing.

And he said, and I never turn my head away.

I never turn my head away.

Why did I turn my head away?

I don't remember consciously thinking about turning my head away. And then he says to me, that was God, wasn't it?

Yes, sir. It was. It was God.

And he said, that's -- that's why I have a new purpose.

And so, Glenn. I think it's important, when you look at the breadth of what has happened, since he was sworn in.

You see that purpose, every day.

He doesn't let up.

He continues going.

And it brings back to the beginning of the book.

Where you find out, that there was another president that was shot at in Butler.

And that was George Washington. And how different the country would have been, had he died in that moment.

And now think about how different the country would be, had President Trump died in that moment. There would be --

GLENN: We're talking to -- we're talking to Salena Zito. About her new book called Butler. The assassination attempt on President Trump. And it is riveting.

And, you know, it is so good. I wish the press would read it. Because it really explains who we are, who Trump supporters are. Who are, you know, red staters. It is so good at that. She's the best at that.
