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 REAL Reason Trump Wants Greenland and the Panama Canal | Glenn TV | Ep 407

Glenn Beck debunks the hysterical claims that President Trump wants to conduct military invasions because of his interests in Greenland and the Panama Canal. His critics ignore the big picture. This isn’t some imperialistic power play — it is strategic maneuvering to counter Chinese and Russian ambitions. The U.S. has a long history of planting a flag in Greenland to combat threats from Nazis and the Soviet Union. Greenland also has some of the world’s largest untapped deposits of rare earth minerals, including graphite, copper, and lithium, that are essential for making all kinds of tech, vehicles, and planes. Glenn argues that it’s in our national security interest to collapse China’s stranglehold on mining and refining the world’s rare earth minerals. Trump’s critics also forget the history of the Panama Canal. Ronald Reagan reminded us in 1976: “We bought it. We paid for it.” So why shouldn’t we keep it? The U.S. is still the number one customer of the Canal, but China is number two. President Trump knows the canal is a chokepoint for our economy and fired a warning shot at China in his inaugural address. At the end of the day, the two places are high stakes real estate deals, and who better to negotiate those deals than our new 47th president?

How to Expose WOLVES in the Second Trump Era | Glenn Beck at TPUSA’s AmFest 2024

Donald Trump has returned as the 47th President of the United States of America. But the fight to make America free again has just begun. Speaking at Turning Point USA’s 2024 AmericaFest, Glenn Beck highlights a million ways the country could tear itself apart and the ONE way it can stay together. Glenn heads to the chalkboard to explain how to figure out who’s really on Team Truth and who’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Plus, he breaks out plenty of historical artifacts that help tell the story: Darth Vader’s helmet, a cup from the Mayflower, a “Batman Begins” cowl, the Holy Grail from “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” and more …

Illegal Immigrants FLEE America as Trump Deportations Begin

President Trump’s mass deportation operation has begun and reports are already coming out that illegal immigrants are voluntarily deporting themselves! But the legacy media is in full panic mode, insisting that Americans should shed tears as Trump and the military rip children from their mothers. But is that actually what he’ll do? Glenn and Stu review what Trump’s real plan is. Plus, Glenn has a message for “sanctuary cities” like Chicago: “You’re only getting more people deported quicker.”

GLENN: Oh, boy. Stu, Al Sharpton is very upset. Very upset today.

STU: Oh, no.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He is very upset that companies are dropping the enforcement of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. He said, why did we have DEI? We have DEI because you have denied us diversity. You denied us equity. You denied us inclusion.

If you want to put us in the back of the bus, we're going to do the Dr. King/Rosa Parks on you. I don't know if that's a new dance move or what.

STU: It's a TikTok dance.

GLENN: It's a TikTok dance. But, you know what, I really don't fear Al Sharpton.

STU: No?

GLENN: You know, used to be a fear of Al Sharpton with some. And no.

I don't think -- you watch how insignificant that is going to be.

Americans have heard it all. They've done it all.

They're not afraid of it anymore. Oh, my gosh. They're marching in front of us. Calling us racist.

Oh, my gosh.

Well, let's give them a little something to make them go away. They don't go away. Okay?

They don't go away!

You hire, and you take activists, bringing them into your company. Or you play ball with those activists.

Revolutionaries. That's all you're going to have left in the end. So congratulations with that. Saw that. It doesn't work.

No interest. It's not going to make a difference.

STU: It's a mindset change. You know.

GLENN: It is. It is.

STU: I remember the first time we got protested by one of these organizations.

And it was like, gosh, what's happening.

Wait a minute.

I didn't understand it. We came from a -- we started a local radio show, that wound up going national.

When you get to that level. These things start happening. And then like, I don't know. A few times after it occurs.

GLENN: You roll your eyes.

STU: You roll your eyes. When I go on Twitter. And you see something negative about you or whatever.

You just don't -- generally speaking, you just don't care.

It comes and goes. You just get to that point, none of it makes any difference to you. It becomes a superpower.

Because you just don't care about any of it.

GLENN: And especially now, nobody cares about it. Nobody cares about it. You know, do you mind being called -- now people are wearing that as a badge of honor.

Oh, Al Sharpton. Yeah. He came after me because I believed in actual diversity. Because I believed in actual racism. Was bad. I believed in that idea, and the best way to fight it, is to forget about color. And to just look for merit.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm scared. It's not going to change anything.

Let me give you a couple of other things that Donald Trump -- in fact, I could go a full hour of the stuff just remaining in the last two hours, of the things he's done in the last 24.

President Donald Trump declared the global corporate minimum tax. Did you know we had one?

Yeah.

The Biden administration signed us up for this one.

A global minimal tax.

So, in other words, companies we promised. We promised the whole world, we're never going to have a tax rate lower than 15 percent.

The global minimum tax. Because that would be unfair. And Donald Trump said, yeah, screw you. We're not doing that. And let everyone know, that uh-uh. No. We're not going to do that.

Now, that doesn't mean we will have a tax lower than 15 percent.

STU: Let's do it! Let's embrace it.

GLENN: I would love it.

STU: I will say, when it comes to economic competition. I want to be unfair. I want to be the country, where everyone else is like, gosh, I've got to get there.

How do we get involved with them? That's exactly who I want to be. Not to mention, it really benefits the people here in the United States, more than all.

GLENN: Yeah. Now, not everybody agreed to it.

Because after Biden agreed to it, the pillar one talks. That should really scare you.

This is pillar one. The pillar one talks stalled. Because we just kind of lost interest, I guess.

Countries, Italy, France, UK. Turkey.

Weren't really excited about reinstating their digital taxes. And now with Donald Trump in, there's no way they will do it.

So congratulations to the rest of the world. We have helped set you free, again!

Now, Rand Paul has introduced some legislation to repeal Corporate Transparency Act.

This is so important. The CTA. Corporate Transparency Act.

We talked about this. This is -- this will protect small businesses, and it was signed into law as part of fiscal year 2021, the National Defense Authorization Act. What does this have to do with national defense?

It requires individuals with an ownership interest in a limited liability company. An LLC, to disclose all their personal information to the US Treasury Department's financial crimes enforcement network.

And they go after American small business owners. And any failure to comply could result in up to two years, in prison and up to $10,000 per violation.

So they are repealing that, or at least that has been introduced. Because, you know, farmers, restaurants, gyms.

Lawn service companies. All of these people -- what? I have to -- I have to register with the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Unit. I don't think so. No.

STU: That's a big one. We talked a lot. That one when it happened.

GLENN: That's a big, big, big one.

STU: Pain. Giant pain at the very least going away, hopefully.

GLENN: Yes. Also, an update on the border. The Southern Border, apparently, witnessed an outflow of persons, that came into the United States over the last four years.

I don't -- I don't know if you heard that.

There was an outflow of persons. Even on inauguration day.

Illegal aliens were voluntarily deporting themselves.

And saying, I --

STU: Yeah. You know, that's -- good! First of all.

That's -- if you're illegally, you should leave. You should leave. And you should leave on your own.

It's interesting.

There's a poll Axios had today.

Which is, the share of Americans who agree with immigration policies, like deporting immigrants, who are in the country illegally.

The number overall, 66 percent. So a popular -- a popular policy.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

STU: But they -- the take from Axios is, they don't agree with the ways to do it.

Right? And so they say, here are their examples of this.

Using active duty military to find undocumented immigrants.

Only let's say 38 percent agree with that.

Deporting immigrants that came to the US illegally as children, 34 percent agree.

Quickly deporting detained immigrants, even if it involves separating families or sending people to countries, other than their country of origin, 34 percent.

Using money allocated to pay for the US military for deportation, 28 percent.

Deporting immigrants who are in the country legally, 11 percent.

Who the hell is talking about deporting people in the country legally?

GLENN: And who is 27 percent or 25 percent for that?

STU: Yeah, it was 11 percent.

Now --

GLENN: Very well. Eleven.

STU: Right. But are any of those -- any of those policies really the policies you're talking about on a day-to-day basis? There are waves of this, right?

It starts with, obviously, criminals. That have committed other crimes. Then you have people who come in contact, with law enforcement for other things that they may have done. If you are busted. Let's say in a -- a raid of a factory.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Those people would get deported now. As opposed to released and they would go to another factory.

Those types of things are the interactions that would lead to a deportation.

Like, they are trying to paint this picture. I heard all sorts of coverage on this, this morning. Like, we're going to have military members, going school to school, to find children, who are illegal immigrants and deport them.

GLENN: It's ridiculous.

STU: That's not what these policies are going to do.

And what more likely, the overwhelming majority of these, quote, unquote, deportations are going to be of the self-deportation variety.

When people start seeing that, hey. I got pulled over for, you know -- because I got in a car accident. Or whatever.

And, you know, the police came over. And they investigated. Found out, somehow, we're illegal immigrants.

You will get deported for something like that. People start seeing that.

They will be like, wait a minute. There's no longer this giant welcome mat. For us to come here illegally.

And that message --

GLENN: Right. It will be too much stress on the family. Too much.

And they will say, what will we do with the children? Take them back home with you. Yeah, what is wrong with you?

STU: You shouldn't just leave them here. What do you do, when you leave a park? You don't just leave them at the park. You take them with you.

GLENN: What do I do with children, when I take them to the park?

STU: You take them home with you.

And that is what a large portion of this, will be people saying. You know, and when we talk about this.

They say, oh, they're coming here to do jobs. And Americans won't do.

When we say those jobs aren't here.

They're not going to come. Right?

When we're not rewarding companies for giving jobs to illegal immigrants. Who are paying them less than the minimum wage.

GLENN: The majority of people are going to self-deport.

Also, the cities that are sanctuary cities are only making it worse. Because if they won't turn over the criminals. When they're released. Or they're in jail.

If they won't do that, then they release them. And our -- ICE needs to go find them.

And if they're hiding with the family and stuff like that or a different family, when we do find them, they'll bust everybody. They'll bust everybody.

So, you know, any sanctuary city that is saying, we're not going to help ICE. You're only helping more people get deported quicker.

And you're not really helping. Now, let me give you this from the Chicago Tribune.

When reports surfaced over the weekend, that mass deportations could potentially begin on the Chicago area on Tuesday.

Martin Ramos informed his boss he was taking time off from work. He stocked up on groceries and decided his kids would skip soccer practice this week.

Ramos, who immigrated from Guadalajara Mexico, without the necessary work permits, spent the first full day of Donald Trump's second presidency hunkered down with his family, trying to avoid being picked up by ICE agents.

An arrest, he knows, would destroy everything that he and his wife have worked for, and force their two boys into an uncertain future.

Force their two boys into an uncertain future. They're staying home from school because they play soccer. And they can't play soccer. We have to do everything possible to keep our children safe.

What will they do, if we get deported?
They will go home, with you!

ICE agents did not show up at the Juliet Factory where Ramos and his wife both work on Tuesday. But fear inflicted upon the employees there was evident.

A coworker told Ramos that only ten out of the typical 40 to 50 coworkers showed up.

In Little Village, one of Chicago's largest Mexican immigrant communities, streets were mostly deserted and quiet. Tamale vendors, a hardy group used to braving all kinds of weather, weren't lined up on the sidewalks.

The hardware store parking lots, where day laborers searched for work, were also largely empty.

So, in other words, they aren't hanging out with a sign that says, we'll work for food. We'll work for anything.

And picked up by construction workers that don't want to pay union workers in Chicago. Is that what I'm hearing from the Chicago Tribune?

The possibility of mass deportations have terrified some of the area's roughly 400,000 undocumented immigrants. Prompting many to skip work.

Keep their kids out of school. And stay hidden until the promised raids end.

They are not going to end. They are not going to end.

Now, Chicago is saying that they're not going to help at all.

That's okay.

That's okay.

Sunday mass at saint Agnes of Bohemia Catholic Church was unusually empty. And the church personally advised a group of street vendors, based on the southwest side to stay home during the week.

Until they will learn how ICE will operate. Out of the thirteen street vendors, only one was out there. Most vendors declined to speak to the Tribune out of fear, they might be identified and targeted.

People are hiding. They call me and ask me what to do. But my hands are tied. I don't think anyone knows what to do. Yeah. Here's what you do.

You tell them to go home!

You tell them that this government is serious about applying the laws, equally. And holding on to those laws.

And you then tell all minorities, in Chicago, you know, I've got to tell you, if your city continues to defy federal law, then your city is going to get funding, cut off from the federal government.

Let the minorities know that they are embraced bit federal government. But due to the city and the state's stance on protection of those who come here illegally and took your jobs and receive things the Democrats would have never given to you, or any other American.

The federal government only has one lever. And that is: To shut off the funding to Chicago.

So recognize who the bad guy here is. It's up to you, Chicago. It's up to you to stand up.

Now, the question is, are you going to stand up with illegals? Are you going to stand up for the absolute vast minority? Are you going to stand up against the minorities in your city, that are Americans?

Because they've been protesting this whole time, saying, wait.

Why are we getting the shaft, and these guys are getting hotel rooms, and free food, and everything else.

You never gave us any of that stuff.

Yeah. Well, it's time for Chicago to wake up. And these states will either be absolutely left behind, or they will wake up.

And that goes for California too. You are going to see that choice on Friday.

How Trump’s Executive Orders are DISMANTLING Wokeness

Donald Trump has barely started his second presidency and he’s already hitting the ground running! Glenn and Stu review what he’s doing to quickly purge Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies from the federal bureaucracy and make sure they can’t be hidden somewhere else. Trump also put an end to affirmative action for federal contractors and universities, a massive shift towards prioritizing merit again: “They are going for the roots of these problems.” Glenn also highlights some other massive wins in the first few days of Trump’s return: The failed head of the Coast Guard was fired, Republicans are moving to revoke the FACE Act, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told US Embassies to stop flying Pride flags, and Trump has instructed departments to prioritize an “architectural renaissance” that focuses on “beauty”.

GLENN: I'm looking through.

I don't even know where to begin. Let's start at some little things. The Trump administration, has ordered all federal employees in DE offices to be placed on paid leave and shut DEI down. Gosh, darn it, the office of personal management. The government's top human resources agency, notified all federal department heads in a memo. DEI programs must be notified by 5:00 p.m. today. Their administrative leave is effective immediately. Also, all outward facing media. Such as web pages and social media accounts, focused on DEI programs, all gone by 5:00 p.m. today.

Cancel all employee diversity trainings. Terminate any DEI-related contracts by 5:00 p.m. today.

Also -- now, listen to this. They are asking all agency heads, to ask employees, if they know of any effort to disguise DEI programs with coded or imprecise language, and report their findings back.

By January 31st, and any employee caught trying to skirt this, they will have, quote, adverse consequences.

I would like them to -- I would like it just to be known. You're going to be fired. But I guess adverse consequences could be more than fired.

STU: I like this too. This is the Thomas Sowell book, Thinking Beyond Stage One.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: That's what you have going on here.

They know what they're going to try with DEI. They're going to try to change the language.

They will try to hide it with imprecise things. They are going to do that. They already are looking for what the response will be with all of this, which is really, really positive.

GLENN: If anyone doesn't think Donald Trump was prepared. Look at just this week.

STU: You've never seen anything like this from any president. Whether you like it or not, you have to admit, he's coming in here with a real plan and attempting to execute it quickly.

In an overwhelming way. I tend to like a lot of the stuff he's doing. Even if you -- even if you look at this, because we've looked at this from the other side with a sort of, like, admiration in a way. Right?

Right? An annoyed admiration of what the left has done. They've built things. They've prepared with moments.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. This is the first time in my life. They've done --

STU: That's what it feels like.

GLENN: I will tell you, that I was talking to somebody, who is in on the planning yesterday.

And they said, that president Trump made a list of every campaign promise, that he made. He asked for everybody, remember what I said. Put it on the list. He made the list too.

And he is really checking it twice. And marking them off. When they do them, he is determined to keep every campaign promise.

So you want to know, left, what he's going to do.

Take him at his word.

STU: And all these.

To be clear. They attempted to do this.

Steve Bannon attempted to do this in the first administration. Came in with a big list. It has been well-covered. They just didn't get a lot of it done. They didn't know what they're doing.

GLENN: Oh, this time, they do. This time, they do.

GLENN: According to TheBlaze today, the new chairman of the FCC, who I love.

Chairman Brendan Carr has announced the ends of all diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at the FCC.

He said, he was erasing DEI as a priority. The commission's strategic plan. He said, he would end DEI advisory group at the FCC. And any mention of the DEI in the Commission's budget.

Also, DEI will be excised from the performance reports at the FCC, as well as all economic plans.

Amen.

Now, let's go to Trump ending affirmative action for federal contractors, and universities.

He's just signed an executive order, rescinding Lyndon Johnson's executive order, of 11246, which established affirmative action and bans all federal contractors and publicly funded universities from practicing race-based discrimination, including DEI. This is a massive shift, that came under Lyndon Johnson.

These guys, thank God. They -- they are going for the roots of these problems.

This is not somebody that is just, you know, cutting the hedges. These guys are going down into the soil, and pulling it up by its roots.

The Coast Guard, as soon as he took oath of office, just within hours, the head of the Coast Guard was -- was relieved of command.

The commandant of the Coast Guard. Admiral Linda Fagan, apparently, Department of Homeland Security first reported her ouster, a minute after midnight on Tuesday.

She was fired and told she was going to be fired right after he was sworn in.

Leftist outlets and everybody else was like, oh, you can't do that.

She's the first female leader of the military service. Yeah. And she sucked. Okay?

She sucked. She didn't address any of the threats of border security. She didn't hit any of her recruitment or retention goals. She did not adequately equip the Coast Guard stations in the Arctic. Why do you think we're going for Greenland? Because China and Russia are coming into the pole, over the Arctic. And she didn't protect that. She also mishandled the Operation -- Operation Fouled Anchor, which was an investigation into the coverup of sexual misconduct at the Coast Guard Academy, and excessive focus on DEI.

She said, one of her famous quotes. Something like, our diversity is our strength. Our diversity only makes us stronger.

Does it? Does it? Or does our unity make us stronger?

We can be diverse, but not in everything.

Not in everything. I would like to be diverse in thought. But not on principles. What do you think?

And I don't care about your skin color. Nobody does. Stop it!

Now, let's see. What else?

Republicans. I love this.

Chip Roy.

Thank you. Is making a movie to repeal the Face Act. He said, and Mike Lee is about to introduce it in the Senate. It has to get past the House. And then he will pick it up in the Senate.

Their case is, you don't need the Face Act. There is no constitutional right to abortion. So what constitutional right are they enforcing?

None. You don't have that right. So -- and you certainly have the right of speaking your mind, gathering and protesting, as long as it's lawful, and you're not, you know -- you know, doing anything. Breaking the law. And harassing people.

But certainly can gather. And so they now want to take the Face Act and get rid of it.

Do you know what that would mean? Do you know how great that is? And it's happening through Congress. And the Senate.

So they're being. They're hitting on all fronts so far. The Trump administration told all of the State Department, through Marco Rubio, all of the State Department, every embassy, you are no longer allowed to fly the LGBT Pride or BLM flags at the embassies. You can fly the POW flag, but that's it.

It's the flag of the United States of America, and that's the only other flag you're allowed to fly. Is POW.

I think that's fantastic. I mean, we're in countries now, where they do not want to hear the preaching from the United States of America.

Especially in places like Africa. Uh-uh. They don't want to hear that.

STU: It's common sense. You know, it's not -- even if you completely support every one of those causes. Why on earth, would we be hanging the flag of them, in our foreign embassies? It makes no sense.

GLENN: Right.

STU: It's an American political issue. What does that have to do with this?

GLENN: So Marco Rubio issued the statement, starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at US facilities, both domestic and abroad. And featured in US government content. So, in other words, you can't put any of those markings now on any of our websites.

The flag of the United States of America united all Americans under the universal principle of justice, liberty, and democracy. These values are the bedrock of our great country, and are shared by all American citizens past and present.

The US flag is a powerful symbol of pride, and it is fitting and respectful that only the US flag be flown or displayed at US facilities both domestically and abroad.

Anyone who transgresses this new policy, will face disciplinary action, including termination of employment, contract, or reassignment to their home agency.

Now, this stands in -- Linken said, that for May and June, the rainbow flag had to be flown at all US embassies all over the world for Pride month.

STU: Wait. May and June.

GLENN: Yeah. He announced this on May 17th, which is the international day against homophobia and transphobia.

And so they --

STU: Of course, it is obviously, Glenn. We all know. December 25th and May 17th. The big holidays.

GLENN: Right. And so they have that, May 17th. And he's like, just put it up on May 17th.

And just don't take it down until the end of June.

So now you get a month and a half. A month and a half.

Right. So that will not happen anymore. Let me show you how deep this is going.

Donald Trump, remember, is a real estate guy. He's also a builder. And somebody in this administration understands Thomas Jefferson.

Thomas Jefferson said, if you want your society and your civilization to live on, you must embed its value values in its architecture.

Okay? Well, ugly, brutalist, and Soviet-style architecture, is everywhere.

If you've gone to Washington DC, there's some beautiful architecture, and then there's all that ugly new architecture.

That just means nothing.

It's just brutalist.

Donald Trump has just -- issued another executive order, on his first day.

Asking the heads of departments to provide recommendations on how to advance the cause of an architectural renaissance in America.

That would see all the federal buildings prioritized butte, over anti traditional hang-ups or egos of radicals.

Toward the end of his first term, he issued an executive order, mandating the new federal building should not only be designed to serve the American people. But should be designed to uplift and beautify public spaces, inspire the human spirit, ennoble the United States, command respect from the general public. And as appropriate, respect the architectural heritage of the regions of the United States. Joe Biden immediately cancelled that. You know, we have architect fights now?

And so they have now taken the design. The Jay Edgar Hoover Building is a really good example of this.

Just ugly and meaningless, and so they rescinded Trump's order. And started to put into place, all of these, you know, new plans for new buildings. And Trump just stopped it. Said, sorry!

We are not going to build ugly buildings any more. They mean nothing. And they're Soviet in style. It's not happening. That's how deep this is going. That's how well-thought out this is.

STU: They have for a long time.

Because he does, like, a little bit of that ceremony. Right? He talks about big parades. This -- whatever it is, celebration of our -- in 2026, is a big one that he's talking about.

This has been important to him for a while.

And, again, like it's a great illustration of how well this stuff has been thought out.

GLENN: It should be important to all of us.

You know, I lived through the bicentennial. I remember it.

Okay? That bicentennial stuff, it was out by 1972. We knew the logo. You remember that red, white, and blue star logo? That rounded star logo.

I don't know if you were old enough to remember it.

STU: I was born -- I'm a bicentennial baby, Glenn. My mom used to tell me --

GLENN: Okay. So it was out -- congratulations, that's icky.

Let's talk about your mom creating you.

STU: That's when I was born, not conceived, weirdo.

GLENN: Well, anyway.

STU: She didn't tell me, hey, by the way, oh, it was a wonderful night, all about it. That wasn't part of the analysis.

GLENN: Oh, I've got to tell you, sometimes when the kids get really out of control, I start down that road. They shut up really quickly. They shut up really quickly and run.

STU: I bet they do.

GLENN: But we had -- by 1972, we were talking about the Bicentennial, and it was a big buildup. Here we are, 18 months away. Not even that. We're fifteen months away from the 250th birthday. There's no logo. There's nothing.

There's nothing. There's a lot of plans out there. But we haven't even started that.

He believes in not being embarrassed by the United States. We talked about this yesterday. With renaming Mount McKinley, Mount McKinley again.

Exactly -- he is the exact opposite of Michelle Obama.

Michelle Obama said, and Barack knows. We are going to have to change our traditions.

STU: Our history.

GLENN: Our history. Do you have it? Go ahead, and play that again.

VOICE: And Barack knows, we will have to make sacrifices. We will to have change our conversation.

We will to have change our traditions, our history. We are going to have to move into a different place.

GLENN: He knows that. And he is systematically dismantling it.

I'm telling you, this guy, if -- if they can keep this going, and withstand the -- just the stupid attacks from the left, and the media. That is coming.

He's going to be remembered as an Abraham Lincoln.

He's going to be a refounder of this country.

And I for one, am thrilled.
