This ‘Digital ID’ would control EVERYTHING in your life

The World Economic Forum has a new wish to control EVERYTHING in your life: a digital ID system that would collect personal data about your online behavior, purchase history, network usage, medical history, travel history, energy uses, health stats…AND MORE! They’d then use this data to determine who should open bank accounts, conduct financial transactions, access insurance & treatment, book trips, cross borders…AND MORE! Glenn details the entire system in the clip, plus he urges listeners to stop believing that terrifying proposals like this one are beyond the realm of possibilities. Look at what’s happened in the last few months alone, Glenn says. NOTHING is beyond the realm of possibilities anymore.

GLENN: Hello, America. And welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad you're here. Thank you so much for listening.

I want to talk to you a little bit about some of the things that seem crazy.

But are happening. We can't lose focus on what everything really, truly is about.

We go there in 60 seconds.
(music)
True love of country, and those who serve it. That's a deep commitment.

Deep commitment. It means thoughts and prayers. Those are real. Have real power.

But it also means reaching out, with a helping hand, when those who served, can't serve anymore.

Since 9/11, the Tunnel2Towers Foundation, has been supporting America's heroes and their families. And when a first responder or military service member doesn't come home, and young children are left behind.

Tunnel2Towers pays off their mortgage, to lift the financial burden. Bring the family to stability, in a catastrophic time. Those -- those veterans, that are catastrophically injured, as well. The first responders.

This happens to. Tunnel2Towers builds mortgage-free smart homes. Enabling severely injured heroes, to live more independent lives.

Now through operation home base, Tunnel2Towers, is giving tiny homes, to homeless veterans. And there's a ton of it.

There is a world that we look at, every day, that is filled with darkness. Let's bring a little light into the world. Our nation's heroes. People who put our lives on the line, for our country and communities, need our help. Help these heroes and their families join Tunnel2Towers, in a mission to do good in their honor. Eleven dollars a month. At T2T.org. That's T2T.org.

All right. I want to give a piece of news. And I can give you the reports. Or you can look them up on your own.

Advancing digital agency. The power of data intermediaries, and digital ID framework, that the WEF has published.

Okay. So we have -- we have two oratories. And it's really exciting from the World Economic Forum. Listen to this.

Well, let me start with this.

I've been trying to keep my extended family, in the loop.

And I have found two things that have happened. One -- and it may be because I -- one is everybody is either overreacting. Like, oh, my gosh. My hair is on fire today.

No. You just have to do things to prepare for a new world.

The other reaction is, this is crazy.

There's no way, this is going to happen. No way, these things could happen.

It's a fantasy. Well, it was a fantasy in 2016, that Donald Trump would be our president.
It was a fantasy, to have a president sitting on the pot, you know, making jokes, and torching people, on Twitter.

But it happened.
It's a fantasy, that we would have 40-year high inflation rate, like this. Because the fed printed and gave away, about $100 trillion.

It's a fantasy, just last week, that we would be talking about nuclear war.

So don't tell me, it -- it's beyond the realm of possibilities.

I don't see anything. Let me remind you, two years ago. The Pentagon. And if you've not heard this yet.

Look it up.

The Pentagon came out and said, yep. There's some sort of alien life form.

And we've got one of their ships.

Or at least pieces of it.

So I'm not really surprised by anything anymore.
Now, for those who think The Great Reset is not going to control every aspect of your life, let me give you a couple of things. They are -- they are now taking the next step to shape global, regional, and industry agendas. End quote.

With a new digital ID system.

Under the framework, the WEF proposes collecting data from many aspects of people's everyday lives. That's a quote.

Through their devices, telecommunication networks, and third party service providers. The WEF suggests that this data collection dragnet, would allow a digital ID. Now, listen to this.

It's very narrow. It would allow a digital ID to scoop up data on people's online behavior. Purchase history. Network usage. Credit history. Biometrics. Names. National identity numbers. And medical history.

Plus, your travel history. Social accounts. e- government accounts. Bank accounts. Energy usage. Education. And I love this one. And more.

What's left?

Once the digital ID has access to this huge, highly personal set of data, the WEF proposes using it to decide whether users are allowed to, quote, own and use devices.

Quote, open bank accounts.

Quote, carry out online financial transactions.

Quote, conduct business transactions.

Quote, access insurance. And treatment.

Book trips.

Still quoting. Go through border control, through countries and regions.

Still quoting. Access third party services, that rely on social media log-ins. File taxes. Vote. Collect benefits. End quote.

So, you know, that little -- that passport, that they gave you. It was so a crazy, to think that maybe that covid passport, might grow into something, oh, exactly like this. In this advancing digital agency, the power of data intermediaries report, the WEF positions this digital ID framework as part of the solution, to a trust gap in data sharing.

And notes that vaccine passports, which were mandated across the world through COVID-19. Do by nature serve as a form of digital identity.

The WEF also praises the way vaccine passports have allowed governments to harvest data from their populations. I'm quoting. Without notice or consent.

Oh. I love that, when our government does that. Don't you?

Quoting, at a collective level, vaccine data is incredibly -- incredible public health asset.

The United Kingdom's government in particular, has acknowledging this. And has suggested that they would anonymize it. And data shield techniques that could be harnessed and controlled environments. To allow for the reuse of that highly sensitive data.

In such cases, notice and consent, is not required, per se. For the reuse of data. But the intermediary processes, the data undergoes must be done in a controlled environment. So that the findings of the data set are made available, rather than the at that time itself.

Who is going to protect us?

Additionally, the WEF provides a specific example of how digital IDs could be used to authenticate a user. By using fingerprints. A passport. Or identity verification technology. And decide whether they should be granted.

I'm quoting, access to a bank loan, by judging their profile.

Which may include biometrics. Name. National identity number.

And history. Which may include credit, medical and online purchasing history.

The WEF goes on to suggest, digital IDs will allow for the selection of preferences. And making of certain choices in advance. And ultimately, pave the way for automated decision-making.
Where a trusted digital assistant, automates permissions for people, and effectively manages their data across different services. To overcome the limitations of notice and consent.

This is great.

They're also talking about turning your heartbeat into a digital ID.

Uh-huh. And governments and private corporations. Increasingly embracing digital IDs. Some government are his also pushing a similar notion.

Social credit style apps, that monitor citizen's behavior, and reward them, for engaging in state-approved actions.

Okay. All right.

All right.

Now, let me just throw this on the fire for you.

One of the most widely used services to check the creditworthiness of individuals and small businesses, is FICO.

F-I-C-O. Right?

Banks, credit unions, they examine your application for a loan.

FICO is often the first place they turn.
When customers look up their credit score, they're usually talking about their FICO score.

Now, we've suspected for quite a while, that ESG scores. Which are kind of a social credit score, similar to the ones that they're using in China, could some day soon be tied with personal credit scores. So that a low ESG score.

Could cause your personal credit score to drop. And your access to loans and mortgage scores, along with it.

But it's rare to see, even the staunchest ESG supporter, openly admit something like that.

However, let's go to FICO's website. In a little bit piece titled lending predictions of 2022.
From BNPL to ESG, and more.

In which a FICO senior principle senior consultant, seems to suggest that he believes in 2022. ESG could be directly linking to personal and small business credit scores.

This is crazy. This will never happen.

It is happening.

What you're seeing happen to Russia right now, and praise Allah. It's happening. I am all for the sanctioning of Russia.

But the way they're cutting them off in all ways, will be used against you.

Unless you fall in line.

You can't wait for people to buy into this. Because some people will just wait and wait and wait. And it will be too late.

Find the people who will do their own homework.

Let me give you this. The secretary general of the United Nations just said, turning this ship around us, meaning the world.

Will take immense willpower and ingenuity from governments and business alike, in every major emitting nation. You're going to see tonight, with the State of the Union, Joe Biden trying to make a case, for green energy.

Listen to this quote.

A key focus of my administration, will be the revitalization of Japan. Through, and I'm quoting, a new form of capitalism. He said, the time has come, for historic economic and social transformations.

And that Japan will pioneer a new form of public/private partnership. With leaders of government. Century. And labor. All working together, to shift policies, into a new form of capitalism.
That's the prime minister of Japan!

I'm going to tell you where this is stumbling in our states.

And where this is gaining ground. Stand by.

Energy Secretary reveals Trump's plan to LOWER your electricity bill

President Trump's Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, joins Glenn Beck to discuss Trump's plan to lower your electricity bill. While he says it can't happen every night, he assures Glenn's listeners that Trump is asking for updates on this "every single day." Plus, he reveals how the administration plans to cut red tape, use nuclear energy, and stop the immature closure of coal plants to boost American energy.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Okay. We have Chris -- Chris Wright on. US Energy Secretary. We are concerned about our energy, and thank God, Donald Trump. Can you imagine how bad this would be, if Joe Biden's policies would have continued? Thank God we're doing a lot of really good things. But I wanted to get a sense from Chris, on where we are, and what he thinks of what's happening in Maryland, and the warning, that Goldman is giving this week?

Chris, welcome to the program.

CHRIS: Thanks for having me on, Glenn. Yeah. You hit the hot topic, right away.

GLENN: Okay. So I would assume that you agree with what Goldman said?

CHRIS: Oh. Absolutely. In fact, we've released a report from the department, just a few weeks ago. And if you had continued the Biden policies, which are to permit and subsidize energy sources that might be there. Might not. They generally aren't there at peak demand.

If we had continued those policies, they would have shut down another hundred gigawatts of firm production capacity, that's there when you need it. And they have permits to improve and planned to add -- add 22 gigawatts of that. Check out 100, add 22.

So a net loss of 78 gigawatts, to an electricity grid that's already tight, that already delivers blackouts and peak demand. They were on a trajectory to increase blackouts by 100 fold, by the end of the first Paris term, if she had won that election.

It is just -- we were driving over a cliff, and they were hitting the accelerator to go faster. It's ridiculous.

GLENN: What really bothered me was the policy that when they shut these plants down, we would actually pay the power companies, to shut these down, if they dismantled the coal power plants. They actually could get subsidy. If they made sure, there was no going back into that.

Which I found terrifying, and horribly irresponsible.

CHRIS: Glenn, it's just crazy. An environmentalist melted down a few weeks ago, when I used my authority at the Department of Energy, to stop the closure of a one and a half gigawatt coal plant in southwestern Michigan.

Oh, you're going to post tax -- costs on the -- we don't know that coal plant. It's slated to close.

Two days later, there was a blackout in my zone, the Midwestern independent system operator. Two days later, that plant was running at full capacity. It would have been massively worse. Crisis would have been massively higher.

You just talked about Baltimore. We also stopped the closure of a very old power plant in Baltimore, but a critical power plant that keeps the lights on at peak demand, that's also running at full capacity as we speak today and has for much of the last few weeks.

Oh, no. We don't need it. We're going to close it. It -- it's just when politics gets in the middle of energy, it truly impacts people's lives.

At least the blackouts. Rising costs. You know, we had 30 percent rise in power prices during just four years of President Joe Biden.

And now we're going to launch the AI race against China? And we are going to have our lights going off, without data centers, without new industry in our country?

Just thank God, the American people, overwhelmingly elected President Trump. We brought common sense back. We're swimming seven days a week, to try to fix the train wreck they left us. So it's exciting. It's more stressful than I would like. But I can assure you, we're headed in the right direction now.

GLENN: So what really bothers me, is how dangerous nuclear power is, and how we can't use that.

Even though, that solves the global warming thing. We've never been able to have that. We have to reduce our power usage. You know, go back to the good old days in, I don't know, medieval times. And -- but now that AI is here. Now that the big tech companies step up and say, no, no, no. We -- we have to have power for AI. Now all of those rules are out the window.

Which -- which bothers me so much, because it is -- it's as if the left and the power structures, don't really care about the average person. And them having power.

They care about these big corporations, and -- and AI being able to have compute power.

But not the average person. And it's -- it's -- it's disgusting.

It's really disgusting.

CHRIS: I -- I think that's right, Glenn.

It also shows that they never really cared about incremental changes in greenhouse gas emissions. The climate change thing is mostly a classroom for power. We're going to decide the way the world works. And make rules for you.

Because you stupid rubes out there in America, you can't make your own decisions.

We must make them for you. But yet, they were never about a rational approach to reduce greenhouse gases.

They don't even know that much about greenhouse gas emissions.

You said, they hated nuclear then. Now they see we're on a train wreck. They don't want to admit their climate alarmism was wrong. And wildly exaggerated.

Now, nuclear power is okay.

Because we need. We need these data centers, these big companies need power. It's not just -- it's not just those crazy routes in Middle America, like you and I.

GLENN: So, you know, in your report, you said, you know, we will increase blackouts by 100 times in the next five years, if we don't keep more base load power online.

How rapidly are we going to see these nuclear power plants, et cetera, et cetera, being built?

And is it only to serve those server farms, or are we going to redo the American power grid, itself?

CHRIS: It will be across the grid. So it is an exciting development, Glenn.

But it's the government. It's this overweening, fear-mongering government that actually smothered and killed nuclear industry, for most of the last four decades. So since it's been my mothered for so long, it will take time to get that ball really moving. We will have an already closed nuclear power plant, back open in Michigan. Later this year, January. Hopefully, at the latest.

You know, there's some developments that will happen in the next few months.

But most of it, will take a few years.

Really, what's going to feed the data centers that are going to be built, and the reindustrialization of our country.

And keep the lights on, and our air-conditioning on in the summertime.

Most of that is going to come from stopping the closure of the coal plant.

GLENN: Right.

CHRIS: That the Biden administration and Obama administration wanted to shrink our ability to generate electricity.

And it's going to come from the expansion and rapid construction of new natural gas burning power plants. Natural gas is, by far, the biggest source of electricity.

It's by far the lowest cost -- source of new electricity. So we are doing everything we can, to permit, allow the construction of natural gas plants as fast as possible, and removing these ridiculous requirements.

That, well, if you spend a billion dollars to build a new power plant, within six or seven or eight years, you're going to have to capture all the carbon dioxide emissions, and eject them underground. No matter how much it costs. No matter how much it burdens our power sector.

The direction they were in, just didn't care about American people, or American business.

GLENN: How long before we see these things? I mean, you know, China is building at the speed of at least one coal power plant, a week. They are building nuclear power plants. They are on an energy surge right now.

They know what's coming.

How -- how -- when should we see this actually starting to happen? And how long before power prices come down?

CHRIS: Oh, man. That is -- that is the big question. President Trump asked me that, every single day. Every single day. Let's get oil prices down. Let's get gas prices down. Let's get electricity prices down. And it takes a while to build infrastructure.

Fortunately, quickly, we can stop the closure of coal plants and still have lots of lifetime left. We've already done that.

That's why we don't have much worse blackouts, already today. We do have new gas plants coming on this year, a lot more coming on next year. We will have nuclear plants on, later this term. We will have a whole bunch of them under construction. But yet, to turn the giant, you know, aircraft carrier that is the electricity grid, that's going to take a few years. But hopefully, we can watch the huge rise in prices.

We can build the capacity so that the United States can keep our lead on artificial intelligence over China.

We get behind China, and they control AI, our national security is at risk.

GLENN: Yeah. I know.

CHRIS: The whole administration is seven days a week, working on this effort.

I see dramatically fewer blackouts this summer, than you would have, had the election gone the other way.

And I think we will be in a little better situation next summer. And somewhere in between there, this winter. We're rapidly swimming the right way.

I wish, I could say power prices are going down 20 percent next year. But it's simply not possible to do that, in 12 months. But I will tell you, President Trump is seven days a week doing everything he can, towards that goal.

GLENN: What regions are the worst in the country?

As far as stability and prices?

CHRIS: The Midwest.

You know, the -- the -- where that Michigan coal plant was kept open.

Where that nuclear power plant will reopen later that year. The Midwest Independent System Operator, that's our tightest region.

The southeast and PJM, where Washington, DC, is in the mid-Atlantic states.

They're rapidly getting tighter as well. Everything in the inner connection cue that was new to come on, is a wind or solar project.

But when it's dark out, and when it's really hot, and you're in a high-pressure system.

And the wind doesn't blow. Those things don't help to meet demand. They just provide electricity -- well, you don't know when. But at some points in time, that's not very helpful for an electricity grid. But we're going to stop the closure of the firm capacity.

And we are doing everything we can. We are permitting and approving plants, every week. New construction, new plants, that will be built. And that be here to provide relief to Americans in the next 12 to 24 months.

GLENN: And the most stable region?

CHRIS: The -- the most stable region is actually Texas. Which is by far the biggest electricity grid. They produce more than twice as much electricity as California. And just -- just a little bit less nonsense in Texas.

They still went crazy on the wind stuff. They still have more expensive, and less stable grid than they had ten years ago.

GLENN: Yeah. They do.

CHRIS: But they also have the mindset and the regulatory regime to fix their problem. Texas is rapidly growing its firm capacity, and they will stay out of this crisis, probably a little faster than the more Biden-influenced rest of the country.

GLENN: Hmm. I can't thank you enough for everything you guys are doing. I'm -- I'm amazed at -- at how rapidly you guys have turned things around.

I'm just -- I'm thrilled at the work, you all are doing.

And, Chris, you really are leading us in energy.

And I really appreciate that. Thank you.

CHRIS: Appreciate you, Glenn. Appreciate all your viewers. We're doing everything we can.

We think about the American people. That's the only agenda we have.

GLENN: Thank you so much, Chris.

That's our US Energy Secretary, Chris Wright.
