It’s ‘IMPERATIVE’ you understand THIS about ESG & the WEF

It’s ‘imperative’ you not only understand certain aspects about the World Economic Forum and its push for ESG, Glenn says, but that you share the information with your friends and family as well. And the best place to find all the information about the WEF’s push for ESG is straight from the source: The World Economic Forum’s own website doesn’t shy away from sharing its plans to control YOUR future. In this clip, Glenn lays out the parts you MUST understand. He explains the ONLY way we can stop ESG…and it all begins with YOU.

GLENN: Okay. I want to talk to you a little bit. And give you an update on a couple of things.

ESG is one. But first, let me start with the three problems that we have.

And these all are front burner now.

There's very little time for you to get up to speed, and you have to be very, very careful on whom you are in bed with.

Okay?

Trust no one. And as I'll show you later on in the show. That will get much worse within a couple of years.

First, biggest most pressing problem.

ESG and the World Economic Forum.

It is imperative, that you teach your friends and your families, about ESG, and the World Economic Forum.

It is important that you do not go to any other source, honestly, than the World Economic Forum. You can watch them say and plan all these things out in the open. Now, they've taken a lot of this stuff out of their line. But there's something called the way back machine, where you can show, this originated from them. We have a second book coming out, probably in June, or God forbid, July. And it is going to outline how deep the problem is, beyond ESG, now into tech.

The second biggest problem that we have, standing in the way of freedom, is our federal government. And the governments of the West. They are in bed with ESG. Look at Canada. It is terrifying what Canada is turning into. So our federal government is now a problem.

And the third one is tech and AI. These are the three biggest problems that we have right now, that are standing in our way.

And you are going to feel very, very small when it comes to all three of them.

Do you feel like you can battle big tech?

Big tech, by the way, is hiring all of the people. It is a revolving door, from the FBI Justice Department and our nation's intelligence agencies.

It's a revolving door. They're basically running high-tech now, at the highest levels. It is terrifying, this public/private partnership and merger between our law enforcement and our spy agencies, with big tech.

But they also introduced something now that is just starting to become real. And you might skip these stories, but please do not.

Anything on ChatGPT is very important. Because it's an entry-level understanding of how the world is going to change.

Once AI kicks in, and is over -- over everything, we're in deep trouble.

Deep, deep trouble.

Federal government, you understand. ESG, and the World Economic Forum, you understand.

But let me -- let me start this program with just a look at the WEF, and ESG.

Yesterday, I was on the phone with the head of the Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts. Who I have a great deal of respect for.

And just in full disclosure.

And not to sell them down the river. Because I believe in the Heritage Foundation. But they are part of -- they are part of a coalition.

And they don't have control of all the partners, et cetera, et cetera.

And I'm not sure who is part of this coalition, and what their real intent is.

Because they're doing some things that I don't understand.

And they're blocking legislation that empowers you. At times.

The coalition is. The coalition is.

Yesterday, Kevin Roberts came out with a great statement.

ESG poses a clear and present danger to the American way of life, the soul of our nation and every sector of our economy.

Many organizations in the conservative movement have undertaken efforts to address this threat, through policy research, litigation, commentary, model legislation and more.

The conservative movement is best when it moves in unison. And Heritage is honored to help lead and work alongside multiple coalitions focused on these activities.

We support any leader and organization, who is charging the Hill, to limit the power of woke financial institutions and eliminate politics in the boardrooms of America's companies. On this issue, we're proud to work with, blah, blah, blah.

Our movement is stronger together. I completely agree, with Kevin and the Heritage Foundation on this.

We cannot separate ourselves from one another. I will support when I can. They should support when they can.

And we should support each other when we are moving in the same direction. However, I want to make something real clear. The fight on this is happening right now, at your state level.

If you want to change things, the next two weeks are very important.

And there are three different types of legislation. I'm sorry to get so into the weeds.

But you are the only solution to this. Three types of legislation being pushed. And I want you to understand the different bills, so you can be aware of what is being introduced into your state. And so you are empowered with the pertinent information to fight for the protections you need for your life. For your family. For your business.

This is happening now in the next couple of weeks. You cannot trust the system. Understand that. The system is corrupt.

The system of lobbying is corrupt. The system -- the global system of banking is corrupt.

The closer you get to you, the less corrupt -- the less the possibility is, that it is corrupt.

But it's still a real threat, at the local level.

Do not trust the system. And I mean that means even me.

I am saying, do your own homework.

Anything that, for instance, wall builders is doing on this. Partnered with me.

You need to understand. I want you to look under every rock. I want you to see exactly what we're doing.

I want you -- and if you have a better idea, great. Maybe we'll support you on that better idea.

But we're looking to -- let me explain it this way.

The World Economic Forum, and ESG is a nasty super virus. Or super bug. Okay?

We need our strongest antibiotics, to kill this thing. Now, why do they always say, take all your antibiotics?

Because if you leave any of that bug alive in your system, you stop taking those antibiotics, towards the end. Because you feel better.

What you've left behind, is the strongest part of that bug. And they mutate, and get stronger. And then they don't -- they're immune to antibiotics. Almost everything in our system, is immune to antibiotics.

You can expose it, and nothing happens. You can -- you can document, and expose, and you can even bring it all the way up to the top. To the justice system. And nothing happens.

It's immune to almost all of our antibiotics.

So we need the strongest antibiotics, we have left in the republic, to go after this bug.

And make sure it is wiped out, entirely.
take all of the antibiotics.

So do not dismiss any approach. Kill it with everything that you have. Does that make sense?

The most important thing, I think, is we must return the power to the hands of the people.

And right now, heritage is working on. And so are many others.

But because I brought up Heritage. They're working on some really great bills. Number one bill, prohibit state contracts with companies that boycott based on ESG causes.

So your state won't award any contract to anybody.

Now, remember, we'll probably have only about 20 states, and they'll be the red states. Where the blue states are the ones, generally speaking, New York and California. That carry all of the weight. And any purple state is not going to do it. Okay?

So prohibit state contracts.

A good move. Number two, prohibit state pension funds for being used for ESG.

A spectacular move. Has to be done.

However, I want you to understand, that doesn't affect you.

Okay?

Prohibiting state pension funds from being used under ESG.

State pension funds. That's not your pension.

That's just the state workers. So it doesn't include everything.

Again, it's the state doing what the state can do. With the money that they have.

What about your pension fund?

And that's what is happening now in Congress. Okay?

Now, the -- the last one is in my -- in my estimation, equally as important. And it is called fair access.

The third type of bill. And this is the one the banks and everybody else is standing up against.

Fear fighting the others. But they are winning the fight on fair access.

And that's concerning to me.

This is the one, that provides protection for you.

And our critical industries. It is protection for you.

The little guy, the individual. Because let's not forget. E, S, and G are truly against you.

Cut your energy off.

Cut your -- your voice out, by regulating what you can and cannot say.

And destroy your business by making sure that you have the right kind of people according to the banks and the to the government. In your organization.

That will destroy everything in America. In fact, Larry Fink is, every company and every industry will be transformed by the transition to net zero world.

The question is: Will you lead or will you be led?

So the third bill that I think is really important, is fair access to financial services act.

Fair access, would require -- this is -- the argument is -- the state can't tell businesses what they can and cannot do.

Well, really?

Because they seem to be doing that a lot lately.

The local banks, and the state banks, and the credit unions. And insurance.

Under the -- the fair access to financial services act. Will require them to disclose to you, if anything is denied, based on anything other than quantitative financial standards and traditional criteria.

So if you're -- if you're applying for a loan, and your ESG score is bad, they have to tell you that.

Now, people will say, why is that so important?

Okay. So we know. Information is power. When they have to tell you that, you then, as an individual or a corporation or a company can come in, and sue them. Without this part, you're waiting around for the attorney general.

And you have no problem to what they're doing. It's all hearsay.

Look, I know I've walked in to that bank, I've always been good, and they turned me down. Why did they turn me down?

Well, they don't have to tell you. So you can never take action against them.

And you do not want to wait or hope and pray, that your attorney general, is -- is walking the same line, as you are.

And is also -- well, is also not so overwhelmed, that he can take this on.

The power must reside with you.

That doesn't mean that the other things can't be passed. They should be passed.

But Fair Act -- I want you to call your legislatures today. And tell them, you want a fair access bill.

It is so critically important. Now, I will tell you, let me take a quick break. And then I will tell you something I know, that I -- I -- that no one will go on record with. But I have had conversations.

About it.

And I -- I think you need to know about it. Coming up in just a second.

All right. Let me tell you about our -- our sponsor this half-hour. It's Ruff Greens. Uno is a different dog, because of Ruff Greens.

That's all I can -- that's all I can really tell you. You see a -- a 10-year-old dog, that you think is active. Who doesn't ever eat. Start to eat.

And then you start to see their activity level go through the roof. And they look younger. They act younger.

There's something to it. That's Ruff Greens. I don't want you to take my word for it. I want you to try it for yourself.

The first test is, will your dog eat it?

I haven't met a dog that won't eat this. It's like dog crack.

And they love it. They love it. And they lick their bowl clean. It's not a food. It's a supplement you put on your food. And gives all the natural ingredients and minerals and vitamins and probiotics. Everything they need to be healthy.

You get this first trial pack for free. You just pay for shipping. They'll ship it out to you. You put it on a few meals for your to go. Make sure they like it.

If they like it, then order the pack. And I'm telling you, with Uno, I've seen remarkable differences in him. Ruff Greens.com. R-U-F-FGreens.com/Beck.

RuffGreens.com/Beck.

Or call 833-Glenn-33. 833-Glenn-33.

Glenn-33, RuffGreens.com/Beck.

Ten-second station ID.
(music)
Okay. I want to tell you that I've been in meetings. At -- at the state level. And the national level.

And I hear from people at the state level, how the local banks and credit unions, have come and quietly spoken to their legislatures. And begged. Begged their legislatures. To please help them and stop this.

This is going to put them out of business.

And then the big banks step to the table and say, no. No. No.

And the little banks are afraid to say anything. Because it's all connected. They will be punished and run out of business. And they are trying to keep their powder dry as long as they can.

Please, I want you to call your legislator today. This is happening right now.

I want you to call and ask your legislators to pass the Fair Access Bill. Make sure that you're calling your House speaker, and your Senate.

And overwhelm the phones with pass the ESG bills, including the Fair Access Bill.

We have more than a dozen states working on the legislation right now. Not all have filed yet.

Please, do not assume that your state has the support it needs, from conservative organizations.

Don't assume anything, on that. Ask them to introduce, and vote for fair access legislation.

It is critically important. And if you have evidence, that things have already happened to you and they have already denied you, or you've run into problems because of ESG, I want you to go to the website. ESGAgainstUs.com.

ESGagainstus.com.

They are collecting stories. And here's the problem: This is why we need the Fair Access Bill.

We had fair, I wouldn't have to ask you this. Because you would already be raising up a storm. Because you would know, they just did this to me.

You really -- you have been lied to from the get-go, that ESG was even a thing.

It would never be introduced. It's a conspiracy theory.

You know this is true now. And we are quickly, rapidly approaching a no return time.

Please, call them today.

You want the fair access legislation passed, in your state.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Epstein's "Blackmail Videos" Being Used for Leverage RIGHT NOW?

What was Jeffrey Epstein's operation all about. If he was at the center of a massive blackmail operation to compromise those in positions of power, who is in possession of that information now? Glenn Beck and ATF Whistleblower John Dodson analyze the details of this situation and give their thoughts on what is the most likely reality surrounding Epstein.

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.
