Rep. Andy Barr joins Glenn Beck to critique the weaponization of ESG policies, arguing they compromise American energy dominance by discouraging capital for fossil fuels and potentially discriminating against firearm owners via new merchant codes. They condemn New York's $2.3 million waste on unused pandemic equipment and dismiss Letitia James's lawsuit against Trump as trivial compared to federal mismanagement. Ultimately, the discussion warns that politicized finance harms retail investors and threatens national independence, urging a return to fiduciary duty focused solely on maximizing returns rather than pursuing political agendas.

Yes, never thought I'd be the guy selling antiperspirant because usually you have to be like a jock or somebody.
You know, you got to be like somebody who actually moves from time to time.
And I do.
I walk from the couch to the refrigerator several times a night.
But boy, what a workout that is.
And that's why I need a man's antiperspirant and deodorant.
It's Sweatblock.
Yes, but I like it too.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenbach program.
Oh, my gosh, with everything that is going on right now, finally, and I mean this sincerely, finally, the president is tackling the thing that all Americans want tackled.
He is pushing today, the Senate, to ratify a treaty that would make your air conditioning cost more.
So, I mean, who likes air conditioning anyway?
Life Lock and the AC Debate00:12:28
You know what I mean?
You're hot, roll down a window.
What is your deal, man?
I'm busy working on my student loan that I didn't take out because I couldn't afford to pay it back.
But now I'm paying somebody else's student loan without air conditioning.
We are going to be a happy, happy country very soon.
Latest on that and more nonsense from Washington coming up in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Life Lock.
Every day you go without online protection is another day that you risk lose absolutely everything.
You can lose everything to cyber criminals.
They're smart.
They're in their underpants.
Unless they're in China.
Then they're in, and this is true, then they're in a big Chinese building that is just trying to hack into America's banks, America's Pentagon.
I mean, it's great.
Nothing to worry about, nothing to see here.

Hello, Stu.
Glenn, how are you?
Oh, very good.
And I want to give you an update.
The guy in North Dakota that ran over that 17-year-old kid because he was a Republican extremist.
Right.
The kid who was calling his mom, going, mom, there's so many JTV that was run over and killed by a 41-year-old drunk who claimed, who actually called, left the scene and then called police himself and said, I got a report that I ran over somebody because they're Republican extremists.
And they were calling people and I know they were calling people to come and get me.
He's been released on bail, $50,000.
And he's very grateful for that because as he said yesterday after he was arrested, hey, hey, I have a family I care about.
I can't be in the clinker.
Uh-huh.
So good news is he's out.
Hopefully he'll actually, I mean, it's North Dakota, so I'm guessing there is still justice up there.
Are there people still up there?
Yes.
Okay.
So hopefully there's still American justice up there.
Now, here's the big news.
Out of all of the things you could think of that you would say, you know what?
You know, you know what would make my life better?
A lack of air conditioning.
Well, they're doing it.
So, thank God somebody's talking about the real problems in America.
Joe Biden has signed a treaty or an executive order 14008 tackling the climate crisis at home and abroad.
And he was going after hydrofluorocarbons because, you know, of the ozone layer, which I don't know what that has to do with global warming.
And didn't we heal the ozone layer?
Wasn't that a whole been bragging about it for years?
Yeah, I think.
The Montreal Protocol, of course.
I love that protocol.
That and the protocols, when they scope you up the butt, both are wonderful.
Okay.
So now Congress passed legislation requiring the Environmental Protection Agency to develop regulations to reduce domestic production and use of hydrofluorocarbons.
Don't worry, it's just air conditioning, your refrigerator, you know, things like that.
So it'll be really great.
Now, we have the Kigali Amendment that he is pushing now.
146 countries have signed on to the Kigali Amendment.
And I mean, we're held to a much harsher standard, you know, in the Kigali amendment, you know, China and Iran, they don't have to worry anything, but they sign on.
They're like, absolutely, America reducing its hydrofluorocarbons and reducing air conditioning.
Yeah, they need that.
Stu, in a completely unrelated question, don't murder rates in like Chicago always go up when it's really hot in the summer?
It's fascinating because that's something that people who are pitching global warming restrictions constantly tell us that when it gets warmer, there's more violence and therefore global warming is responsible for all the violence around the country.
But now we're going to get rid of the air conditioning, which is a fascinating solution to that.
You were just in Europe.
Yeah, I was.
And they have a lot of buildings without air conditioning there.
Yeah, it was great.
Why do stores, they do this a lot in New York, you know, where they really love the planet.
Why do stores leave their doors open on really hot days in New York?
Ever asked?
Never even noticed it.
Used to happen a lot.
I don't know.
I haven't lived in New York for, I don't know, 10 years.
But it used to happen a lot.
They'd leave the doors open and the air conditioning would just be blasting out those doors.
Okay.
What?
You grow up in a barn?
That's what I used to always think.
Close the door.
We're not air conditioning the whole world.
Actually, they do it to invite people in.
You walk by that blast and you're like, it's so hot.
I don't know.
I think I'm going to go stand in the corner of the Victoria Secret and I might need some new panties.
I don't really.
So, I mean, that's why they do it.
I was in Europe last week or two weeks ago.
Can I tell you?
No air conditioning.
None.
None.
And it was fabulous.
It was really great.
I ate at some really good restaurants.
If you would have had air conditioning in a bad McDonald's knockoff with fake meat, I would have eaten there over any restaurant.
I sat at this restaurant with my wife and I said, this is the best meal I think I've ever had.
And it was just, you know, it was just like noodles and crap, you know, Italian stuff.
You can get that at the Olive Garden.
Anyway, so I'm sitting there and I'm, and I said to my wife, I said, I think this is the best meal I've ever had.
And she said, I think I agree with you.
And I said, how do you know?
Are you messing with my tongue?
Are you using my tongue on weekends?
And she said, no, my tongue agrees that it's probably the best meal I've ever had.
Then I understood it.
The argument was over and we went on.
I said, however, this restaurant would never make it anywhere in America.
She said, I don't know.
It's really good.
I said, you see the sweat?
See the sweat on your brow?
Sweat on my brow?
There's no air conditioning here.
The windows were wide open, but it was dead still and boiling hot, boiling hot.
There's no way you could take the best restaurant, the best whatever, and put it in a town like Dallas, Texas, and say, you know what?
You can have air conditioning, but you can only bring it down to 85 degrees.
Nobody's going there.
Nobody's going there.
This is the, I think, one of the most pure examples of the differences between the left and the right.
The left says it's really hot.
Therefore, we should change our entire economy and control the global temperature to bring it down a few degrees.
Even though you'll still hit in the 90s, you might not hit 95.
You'd only hit 92.
And that way we can control the climate.
So we have less, the fewer people die of heat waves, right?
Like, for instance, I believe the free market should come up with a way to go up to Alaska and get some giant blower that blows all of that cold air down.
I don't know that you're, you're not, you didn't, you have a doctorate, but not, not in science.
You're right.
You're right.
Not in science.
Well, I doctorate of humanities, and that's the, that's the science of whatever is working inside.
I have something to say about the Stacey Abrams comment that there's no heartbeat.
I'm a doctor, Stacy.
I've got a few comments for you later on in the program.
But the right, capitalism says, well, let's just come up with a way to bring air conditioning to everyone.
Yeah.
Right.
So that if it does get hot, everyone's comfortable.
They kept saying this about Europe during the past few months.
It's like, oh, well, they've got this heat wave and everyone's going to die.
And thousands of people are what would happen if this was every year?
Well, you mean it would be like Dallas, where we all live happily and live in every single building is air conditioned and everybody's comfortable.
That's what it would look like.
I asked the person, I said, you know, who's who was our tour guide?
I said, they said, oh man, you should have been here last week.
This is great.
And I'm like, really?
Because it's 95 and nothing is air conditioned.
And I said, wow, what was it like when it was 105?
I mean, was there anybody on the street?
And she said, no, everyone was on the street.
And I realized, oh, yeah, because at least walking around creates a breeze.
Walking around outside when it's really, really hot.
That's what people were doing because staying in their home is unreasonable because it's even hotter in your house.
It's the status we all enjoyed before we had, you know, civilization is what they seem to desire.
Yes.
They want to go back to this idea where you don't get any of the improvements, any of the wonderful things that we enjoy on a day-to-day basis that solve these basic problems.
They want them all to go away.
I tell you, did you see the show last night?
No, you don't watch the show.
You don't watch the show.
Which show?
My show on Blaze TV.
I was watching Blaze TV, but you didn't see my show.
No, I was watching Whitlock.
I was checking that out.
A crowd of people.
So anyway, last night I did a show.
That's all right.
When you're talking, I'm listening to old Imus shows.
And you're on the show.
So you're not listening to my show when you're guesting on my show.
I got it.
I got it.
So anyway, when last night I was talking about the 14th century and the 15th century, what things were like in the 1400s over in Europe and how we are going back to that.
And I laid out a really good case.
You should watch it on Blaze TV or you can find it also on YouTube.
It's last night's TV show.
But made a really good case that the Fed and the government are taking us back to serfdom on the road to serfdom.
We are.
We are taking away everything that made Western society livable.
We're taking it all away.
All of it.
Hey, let's stop using some of that oil.
Okay.
Can we harpoon a whale to get its oil?
I mean, what are we going to do?
Choosing Not to Live in Cuba00:07:37
Let's stop using air conditioning.
Can we all just stand up and say, no?
Can we do that?
I think we might still have some power.
To stand up and go, no, not doing that.
I choose not to live in Cuba.
And air conditioning is not the main reason, but it's a pretty big one.
Okay?
So, no.
But here's more good news for you.
Oh, thank goodness we have finally figured out how to stop all of the toxic chemicals that are spewing out of the chimney.
Well, they're not, well, there is a chimney, but it's not really a death camp.
It's just where we, you know, burn people up.
You know, what is that called?
You know, after dead people, they burn them up.
Yeah, cremation.
Yeah.
So the crematoriums apparently are causing real problems, real, real problems.
California has come up with a way to solve that.
I'll tell you about it in 60 seconds.
I hear from people all the time tell me about their journey with pain, what it used to be, what their life used to be like before the pain set in.
And it is always one thing that they can't do anymore.
The one thing.
I remember my dad, he used to tell me all the time when I was growing up, someday I'm going to retire and I'm just going to play golf.
And by the time he retired, he couldn't play golf because he was in so much pain.
What is the one thing that you can't do anymore that you really wanted to do, you know, before the pain set in?
Relief factor.
Please try it.
1995, it's a three-week trial pack.
If it's not working for you in three weeks, probably not going to work.
70% of the people who try the trial pack go on to order more.
I'm one of them.
ReliefFactor.com.
800, the number four relief.
800, the number four relief.
1995, three-week quick start developed just for you.

Station ID.
Uh...
Stu, you're going to be very excited.
The Governor Newsom, who is who is absolutely running for president in 2024.
He's already running for president.
Oh, yeah.
Gee, why does he want to debate the census?
He's running ads in Florida.
I've never seen a more transparent, like pathetic attention grab than this.
Yeah.
Well, he's just signed a bill that will change all of the problems that we're all talking about when it comes to burning up your relatives after they die.
Cremation.
So many problems connected to it, right?
I mean, you could spend how long talking about those problems too?
An unlimited amount of well, anyway, let's just don't bore me with all the details because I know you could go on and on.
Right.
Assembly bill 351 has now been now been signed in so you can compost yourself or your loved ones.
It's really great.
What they do is they put you in a box and they drill a whole bunch of holes in it.
It's an eight-foot box.
They drill a bunch of holes in it and then they put wood chips in there with you.
Now, I hope they haven't cut down trees for these wood chips.
I hope they are just growing crops of wood chips to use.
God forbid they are cutting down a forest or using any of the underbrush that I love so much.
It's part of nature.
And when it starts to the fires and the glow in the sky, it's magical, California.
So anyway, they put wood chips in with you and then they bury you.
And within 60 days, your body has been composted.
The gracious, just an incredible moment where you go through 60 days of deterioration.
Deterioration.
60 days.
This is awesome.
And then the soil is sent to you.
Wow.
Yeah.
That sounds good.
So you're like, oh, this mushy kind of soil was mom.
Good.
I'm going to use it in the flower bed.
Okay.
So they send you the box of mom dirt, which is so rich with nutrients, you know, because mom had a lot of nutrients in her.
And if she was fat, oh my gosh, human fat when it's composted.
Oh, the trees just love it.
So anyway, they send you that box or, and I like this one, or you can donate it to a conservation, you know, plot of land, which I'm sure that's going to happen.
I'm sure.
I mean, don't you think?
You know how many funeral homes?
They're like, yeah, we cremated your loved one and we sprinkled their ashes on the moon.
And you find out later that the body has just been like half buried in their basement.
Right.
I'm sure this is what they're going to do.
They're going to, yeah, they're going to take that soil with mushy mom in it.
They're going to take your $10,000 and send you a bag of dirt is what they're going to do.
That's what they're going to do.
You're going to get a bag of dirt.
Yeah.
This dirt.
Well, you're going to be surprised to hear is not going to have any of your loved one in it.
It's just going to be a bag of dirt.
Yeah, it might be a bag of dirt with somebody else's loved one in it.
But anyway, $4,000 to $5,500.
Oh, wow.
What a bargain.
I don't know what the $1,500 difference is.
I mean, am I in better dirt?
No, I mean, do I have elitist worms that are munching on me?
If you went to Taco Bell every day, there's a little more mass.
You need a bigger box.
So you're going to get a bigger box of dirt.
So if you have like a big flower bed, thank you, Gavin Newsome.
Thank you.
Because I'm going to be working in my garden myself.
I'm going to be doing it because it will be too hot in my house because of Joe Biden getting rid of air conditioning.
What a utopia.
Oh, man.
And then, you know, on the weekends, we can drive to, no, we can't drive.
We couldn't drive to the beach.
And the beaches are probably protected areas.
So it's going to be great.
Oh, seriously.
It's going to be great.
And you will not complain.
We will complain for you.
Okay, coming up in just a sec.
Coming up in just a second, California has another moral obligation, and they're fulfilling that next.
California's Moral Obligation00:06:57
The Glenn Bach program.
That's crazy.
Today marks yet another day that I want to celebrate partnering with Mike Lindell.
Yeah, you know what?
I tend to like people that authorities don't like.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't even really have to like those people, but there's something in me that's like, oh, oh, you're going to surround his car at a drive-thru and take his phone away.
Like he's a hardened criminal.
Huh?
Huh?
Gosh, I suddenly want to buy a pillow.
Here's what I want you to do.
Log on to my pillow right now.
Pillows, sheets, towels.
I mean, they got a buttload of everything and they're really, really good.
But if you feel like I do, where you're like, huh, they are intentionally trying to drive him out of business.
What can I do to help?
Oh, buy some of his stuff.

We also have in studio somebody that you've probably never seen before.
Ezra is with us.
She is our social media manager.
Yeah, yeah.
No, seriously, what's your real social media coordinator?
Coordinator.
Okay.
So she coordinates our social media, which apparently she told me today, quote, this has never been said before.
You're big on TikTok.
Meaning like you look fat on TikTok?
Yeah, I look fat everywhere.
Right.
Not just TikTok.
Instagram.
All of them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you're streaming today on Instagram and TikTok.
Correct.
The behind the scenes, which is riveting.
It's riveting.
It's crazy.
And it will fill that void left by Colonel Sanders and Captain Kangaroo.
Really?
So, yeah.
Will it?
Will it, though?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it does.
I'm pretty sure.
Colonel Sanders produced a lot of good for this country.
Now, Ezra, you told me a minute ago that there's just a lot of mean-spirited things that are being said in the live feed.
Yes.
Who would have known?
They're not very nice.
Not very nice.
On the socials.
Is it mainly fat or is it more Nazi?
What are they accusing him of today?
Yeah.
You're a Nazi.
A fat Nazi.
You're a fat Nazi.
And how dare you support Republicans?
Okay.
All right.
Well, that's good.
Now, is that on TikTok or is that on Instagram?
That was on Instagram.
That was on Instagram.
TikTok must love me.
Oh, it's Instagram.
Yeah, they just love me.
Okay, you can follow it at the Instagram page for or TikTok page.
I have no idea.
I have no idea.
Just dial pound 150, and I think that'll, I'm not.
Anyway, all right.
Let me just dial down the middle.
Yeah.
You know, just do that.
You'll get there.
Let's keep trying.
These new complex things, I mean, I thought it was exciting when we had a phone in the car.
California has a moral obligation now, according to Governor Newsom, who is going to clean up in the 2024 election.
I mean, right?
I mean, he is one with the American people.
He has said that they have a moral obligation to ban diesel-powered trucks to rectify, which I think is a great word because it makes me think of rectal, which makes me think of an ass, which makes me think of Gavin Newsom.
Anyway, ban diesel trucks to rectify what?
Global warming.
What do you think?
I would think global warming.
Yeah, right.
No.
Decades of racist practices.
Okay.
Okay.
So they are going to ban medium and heavy-duty trucks.
And they all have to be fully electric by 2035.
Now, here's the good news.
Those 17 states that just signed on with all of California's emission standards and everything else, bet you're going to have to do it too.
You didn't know about that in your state?
Yeah.
You're now a slave to California.
Who did that?
Your governor and your legislators.
So buy-by electric cars in Virginia, I mean gasoline cars in Virginia.
Buy-buy diesel trucks in Virginia and other states.
I mean, Minnesota, just stay in your house.
I mean, really.
You get what, like a week maybe where it's nice?
Stay in your house.
Well, that's why they built bridges, enclosed bridges all over Minneapolis.
So you never have to walk outside.
They tell you something about it.
That's true.
Yeah.
I never, the first time I went there, I was like, they just built, they just turned this entire city into a mall.
They did.
Just walking from hotel to hotel.
Now, is it true that only white people can buy diesel?
Is that accurate?
Well, yes.
Well, most parts of Texas, but I don't know about California.
No, here's the deal, Stu.
Decades, I'm quoting, decades of racist and classist practices, including redlining and sitting decisions, have concentrated heavy-duty vehicle and freight activities in communities of color.
Freight activities?
It's fascinating.
And it's not just color.
It's low-income communities.
Now, I don't know why they didn't build our airports and our bus stations and our freight yards right in the middle of really nice suburbs.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Evan McMullen's Utah Campaign00:11:29
Wait a minute.
It could be because if they did that, everybody who lived in those really nice suburbs would move away and then they would have to cut the high, the price of the housing, and so those would become low-income neighborhoods.
I mean, how racist are you?
You don't want to live next to the freeway?
My gosh.
What's next?
Oh, I can't sleep at night because of the roar of the jet engines.
My gosh, you rich people make me sick.
Oh, I can't live by the bus station.
No, no.
Wow.
Racists.
This guy's going to be good for the country.
You know who else would be good?
If Utah would just elect Ellen McMuffin, running against running against Mike Lee, Ellen McMuffin is really, really good.
He was a CIA agent.
I don't know if you know.
And I think what the country needs right now to repair trust is a CIA agent in the Senate, you know?
He's running a lot of ads, running a lot of ads now, trying to monetize his campaign, get somebody to somebody besides George Soros and others like him to kick in on the Ellen McMuffin train and see if they can get him elected.
So he is doing some really good ads, reminding everybody, hey, I was a spook.
And I think that's really good.
I think that's right in line with what Americans want right now is another spook running around.
Wait a minute.
Hang on just a second.
Right now, a spokesperson for the Ellen McMuffin campaign is joining us now.
Hello, Blood.
How are you?
I'm very good.
How are you?
First of all, Jeff, fantastic.
And I just wanted to thank you for your incredible, consistent support for Evan and his campaign against extremist Mike Lee.
I know you've been, you just, of course, said that there would be nothing better than to have a CIA spook in the Senate.
Oh, yeah.
And I just wanted to thank you for your support.
Sure.
Sure.
Your support.
sure so um do i mean have you thought thought this through that maybe you know at a time when are you okay Are you really fat?
I'm a fat man, so I can ask that question.
No, I'm in the excellent physical condition.
Okay.
All right.
Anyway, I was just wondering, have you thought this through?
I mean, the NSA, the CIA, all that, I mean, they're spying on Americans.
It's really corrupt right now.
I know, you're right.
It's great.
You know, we have been trying to highlight that part of Evan McMullen's campaign that he was in the CIA because, of course, it's something that we really need right now.
We need more spying on American citizens.
We, of course, have a platform that's very well defined.
And, you know, as a person who was in the CIA, imagine all the spying he could do if he was ridden the Senate.
It would be much, he would be spying three, four, five times as much.
And that's what I think American people want.
And that's what I think the voters of Utah want.
And I think the voters of Utah should understand what's at stake here.
This is a very important election, most important election ever in history and stuff.
And it's important for the people of Utah to know that we are watching.
We're watching what they do.
We're watching how they vote.
We're going to make sure that they understand what's at stake here.
The globe is warming.
Hang on just a second.
What do you mean that you're watching them and you're going to well, I'm just saying that people should watch what they do.
That's all.
What do you mean?
They should watch what they do.
Every action has a consequence.
I think you learn that when you're a child, right?
And if you were to not vote for Evan McMullen, we would know about that.
You would know about that.
And there are consequences to our actions.
See, this is the kind of thing that I would think that people would kind of go, wait a minute, I don't think I want a CIA guy, you know, in the Senate.
He will know if you didn't vote for him.
That's all we're saying.
Is he like Santa Claus or does he have connections?
Well, again, Santa Claus knows if you've been good or bad.
He knows when you're sleeping.
He knows when you're awake.
And he also has half the information about you that Evan McMullen does.
So just think about it.
Look, if you're a Utah voter, you want to vote for Mike Lee, you can do that.
People could also vote against Saddam Hussein.
Right.
You know, who knows?
See, this goes again.
Ellen McMuffin has been saying that Mike Lee is, in so many words, an extremist.
He is an extremist, Glenn.
He is an extremist.
Yeah, we've been looking into his activity.
And this guy's extreme.
Want to have some examples of that?
Yeah, I would.
You ever hear of a potato?
What?
You ever hear of a potato?
Of a potato.
Yes.
You know what Mike Lee does with them?
No.
He cuts them up into little sticks and he fries them in boiling oil and then he applies A rock of some sort in small white crystals and then dips them in tomatoes and vinegar.
Okay, so does Mike Lee eat it?
He does it.
He eats it and then drinks it.
He drinks hot chocolate, Glenn.
It's extreme.
Okay, and by the way, before I go, I just wanted to thank you for your constant and continual support of Evan McMullen.
Your endorsement here in Utah has meant so much.
Yeah, I haven't endorsed him.
And I just wanted to say, well, you haven't endorsed him, that's true, but you have helped our campaign quite a bit because you keep calling him Ellen McMuffin.
And we've done a lot of research on Evan McMullen, and we realized really nobody likes him.
That's one of the central things we've learned in our research.
Really?
But the best testing part of our entire campaign is that his name sounds like McMuffin.
That's the only thing we can find that's positive.
People like McMuffins.
Well, and they like Ellen.
Right.
So you're calling them Ellen McMuffin.
You are helping our campaign market.
Hey, all right.
Thank you very much.
Let me tell you about My Patriot supply.
Here's, hey, Stu.
Just say it's Glenn.
You're right.
We just, we just, we missed you.
You missed a great call just a second ago.
Anyway, My Patriot Supply, they have emergency food supplies.
And gosh, if you don't think there could be a disruption at your grocery store, if you don't think that there could be an emergency, I mean, the news is talking about nuclear war with Russia.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
We're glad you're here.
So in today's newsletter, which is really my show prep, you get it every day.
Every morning it's sent out.
It is my show prep that I look at starting about five o'clock every morning.
And as I'm reading through it, I decided about three months ago that I thought it was a good idea to make this available to you.
It's raw show prep.
So what makes it onto the show every day comes from there.
But there is so much that doesn't that I think is really important.
And then there's also little trivia things in there like this day in the show in history.
And today, there I completely forgot about this.
I made a time capsule on the day of my son's birth.
Now it's 18 years ago.
It was made to open on 2024.
But listen to just a little bit of this.
So the following two hours, time capsule for my son.
Rafe, here is what America was like on the day you were born, the 21st of September, 2004.
We were near the end of one of the most heated presidential races of all time.
It was the most important election of my life at that time.
One that I thought was a crossroads for America.
Trivia question for you, Rafe.
Here it is.
Do you know who ran against George W. Bush in 2004?
His name was John Kerry.
He was a senator.
He didn't really have, at least at the time of your birth, a real message.
The people that were supporting him really were all about hating George W. Bush.
Wow.
My perspective, son, at this time, is because George W. Bush had a spine and he was making tough choices.
Tough choices sometimes have to be made.
Most people don't want to make them.
Stop.
We're going to open this up fully in 2024, which is the year the time capsule was made for, 20 years down the road.
I'm really anxious.
I have no idea what I said, what's even in it.
I know.
It could be crazy.
Most likely it is crazy.
So it's you, right?
But yeah.
Even just that, I can imagine I'm not going to agree with myself from 20 years ago.
It's going to be fascinating.
Time capsule sealed for two more years.
The Glenn Bach program.
Why Grip Six Socks Rule00:02:22
I want to talk about Grip Six.
Grip Six, man, I tell you, they are, they make the best socks.
Have you ever had wool socks?
And they usually, you think about them for the winter and they usually kind of sag down on your ankles and like scratchy and uncomfortable and thick.
This is not what Grip Six has for socks.
These are the best in socks and guaranteed for life.
Think of that.
How many socks do you have that get holes in it?
These guys so believe in their socks.
They're wool, so they're not scratchy.
This is really good wool, all made here in America.
And it's, I mean, it's so stretchy.
I've never seen wool like this before.
And it's the way they weave them here in America that makes them like that.
It is an American product made in America, designed in America, thought of in America, and the best socks you can get.
Grip 6, put your trust in hard-earned money in a company that does it right right here in America.

It's all your damn turn to light.
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenbach program.
And hello, America, and welcome to Thursday.
Oh, my gosh.
You know what I love more than life itself?
Politics.
I could just live in Washington and play politics my whole life because it's the game of politics is so fun.
Three Years of Investigation00:14:39
For instance, Letitia James, while she's running, she makes a promise that she's gonna get him.
She's running, she was running for the New York Attorney General Office.
And you know New York, they hate Donald Trump.
Wait a minute, they loved him.
Oh yeah, but then he started doing politics.
And now he's the most despicable nuclear accident ever to happen in public office, of course.
So she says, I'm gonna get him.
Here's her campaign promises.
What is fueling my soul right now is Trump.
Will you sue him for us?
Oh, we're gonna definitely soon.
We're gonna be a real pale.
I look forward to going into the office of Attorney General every day, suing him, and then going home.
He's gonna know my name personally.
Ah, well, he does know her name.
Now you should know her name because she is suing him.
I can't wait to tell you about this in 60 seconds.
If you're listening to the sound of my voice right now, it is most likely because you're the type of person that believes in personal responsibility, that you are going to take care of your family.
You are responsible for the things that are happening in your life.
And if you're not, you don't whine about it.
You find a way to get through it.
Well, that's what we're going to do with the coming economic troubles that we have.
Find a way through it.
Now, if you have especially high interest credit cards or you have an adjustable mortgage, get out of that, please.

We know.
We know the Attorney General from New York, Letitia James, has been investigating Donald Trump now for three years.
Three years.
And here's what they've come up with.
And she's going to sue.
Now, she can't prosecute because it has to be a civil suit because she didn't really find anything there except he might have been misleading the banks.
Now, she's suing not only him, but his two sons and daughter.
I don't know what they had to do with this, but she's going to get them.
So she's filing a civil suit that says he lied.
No, he misrepresented his holdings to the banks.
He was going in for a loan, and Donald Trump does something that he never ever does.
I'm the richest, greatest person of all time.
Yeah, that's how he represented himself.
My apartment is the most beautiful, spacious, most expensive apartment of all time.
Of course, I mean, I got nothing to back that up.
I'm not presenting.
I'm just telling you right now, it's $300 million.
It's great, fabulous.
Okay.
All right.
So what did the poor bankers do?
The poor bankers, they had to believe that his apartment there in New York, just down the street from the bank, that that apartment was worth $300 million because that's what he said.
Now, he said, again, there was no appraisal done on it.
But I mean, what does that even mean?
The word appraisal to a banker.
They don't know what that means.
And then they gave him the loan.
What?
That's what she found.
That's what she found.
And then we should also mention back he paid the loan back with interest.
So they made a large profit.
Okay.
That's right.
Now, I know predatory lending was happening at the bank.
Was it?
No, no.
You know, in 08.
Oh, predatory lending.
That was the big thing.
Predatory lending was happening at the bank where they would just get these hapless dupes.
Now.
They'd hunt them down and give them large portions of money to pay for things they wanted.
Yes.
Yeah.
No, they didn't hunt them down.
I mean, you would have to come into the bank and apply.
But at some point, I'm pretty sure the person who wanted to borrow ran out in fear because they didn't want the rates that they agreed to.
And so they ran out and then they chased them down in the streets and held them down and made them sign.
Something like that happened.
Fauci had to be involved in some way or not because Fauci is a good guy.
I'm forgetting which side we're supposed to be on now.
All right.
So predatory lending.
Now, this is predatory borrowing.
You're going into a hapless bank and you're dealing with a hapless banker who knows how good he is.
You're just Donald Trump, you know, and you're going into your bank and you have accounts there and you're famous and they know who you are.
So you're probably just getting whoever is next in line, you know, at the loan desk.
And so he comes in and he says crazy things.
That's what he tells the bank.
He says these crazy things to the bank.
And this poor banker, he doesn't know what's true, what's not.
He doesn't have any way to, well, is his house really worth that?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Especially when he says there was no official appraisal done.
That would mean, I'll break it down for the bankers that are listening.
Us little folk know about this.
Before you buy a house or before you, you know, borrow against it or whatever, there has to be an appraisal.
You know what I mean?
I can't just walk into a bank and go, hey, my house is worth a billion dollars.
They'll figure it out.
But I go to different banks than someone like Donald Trump would go to.
You know what I mean?
They don't know how to figure that stuff out.
Right.
Here's the point of all of this.
Three years of investigation, and this is what they have.
I want to say the most incredible thing, even to me, and I've said this to his face.
Donald Trump is easily the most investigated human being in all of history.
Maybe even more than Jesus.
Because they didn't have spy agencies back then, but they have investigated this guy with guaranteed every intelligence agency in the world.
Our FBI, our CIA, NSA, MI5, all of them.
I think even the Gestapo came back and were like, I'm dead, but I think maybe we should investigate him because I hate him.
He's given us Nazis a bad name.
So everyone invested.
And they weren't like, hey, just give me the, you know, give me the scoop on this guy.
They were looking for things to bring him down.
And this is what they have, or they have to make things up.
He peed on a hooker.
Huh.
This is the amazing statement.
I think this guy may be the cleanest guy on the planet.
I can say this.
I think he is for sure the cleanest guy ever to be involved with construction in New York.
I mean, honestly.
You know, so you want to build a building here?
I mean, I'd hate to see this tied up, you know, or the unions maybe not coming to work today.
I don't know what to say.
Don, I'd like to help you, but just...
Okay, come on.
We all know that happens.
No, the mob isn't real.
We all know that happens.
They can't get that on this guy.
And he built buildings like in 10 minutes.
Maybe they're made of paper.
Maybe they're not even safe.
I just can't believe we're going down this road again.
Is this really happening again?
How many times?
I feel like I'm watching the 900th parental DNA test on Maury Povich.
Okay, so it's like, how many times do we have to go through this?
Okay, so let me turn it around for you.
Because right now, I'm thinking to myself, when is anybody on the left going to understand?
It ain't going to happen.
It ain't going to happen.
And it's not going to happen.
Not because you don't want it to happen.
Not because you haven't tried to make it happen.
Not because you haven't looked hard enough.
You've looked.
At some point, you got to go, I can't believe I'm saying it, but a guy is clean.
Okay?
And I think to myself, when I saw this, I'm like, really?
Three years of investigation in New York.
And this is all you came up with.
Wow.
She had to say something, right?
She had three years of investigation.
She had to say something.
Right.
You know, we saw what happened in the other New York investigation where they just said, yeah, we don't have anything.
We're just going to stop.
Right.
And that was a scandal.
Correct.
Like, if you don't come up with something, you're involved in a scandal.
So you have to say something.
She comes up with this and it's like, I just, I mean, as you point out, there's these statements were not audited at any point.
You know, I just, he paid, he got the loans with a long-standing business relationship with most of these banks anyway.
The loans came through.
He paid them back with interest.
They all stopped.
It's really boring.
And the way she presented it, she tried so hard to make it exciting.
Oh, I know.
It was really fun to watch.
We have, let's play a little of that.
And then I have to come back and tell you what I've learned from this.
The complaint demonstrates that Donald Trump falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to unjustly enrich himself and to cheat the system, thereby cheating all of us.
Wow.
Mr. Trump and the Trump organization repeatedly.
Can you stop for just a second?
Stu.
The over-pronunciation is so funny.
Oh, I know.
Could I just ask you, though?
I don't think he cheated the banks by any stretch of the imagination.
Again, not audited.
Nothing was legally binding here of what he said.
That's him.
That's what he does.
Oh, you should see my Honda.
It's the greatest Honda ever.
It's the most expensive Honda you could ever buy.
Come on.
Okay.
So that's what he does.
So there was no crime committed here, but let's just say there was.
If there was, she would have been prosecuting him for a crime.
So there's no crime here.
But let's just dream.
She turned it into other people to let them prosecute him.
That was her big step.
So let me ask you this, Stu.
Let's dream a dream that he did cheat the banks.
I mean, I still think I hope that it's less than 50% of me, but maybe not.
That's kind of like, get him, Don.
Screw the big banks.
Kind of part of me is like, yeah, good for them.
Oh, you didn't catch that.
You believed his apartment was worth $300 million.
I mean, one of the accusations is he listed it at something like 60,000 square feet and it's really like maybe it's 30,000 square feet and it's only 11,000 square feet.
Now, obviously, if they cared, you can look up in property records how big an apartment is.
It's not hard to figure out.
And how were we served an injustice?
How did we impossible?
I mean, he paid it off.
The bank is happy.
He's happy.
Everybody's happy.
He didn't break a law.
What are you talking about?
Now, she's saying that she thinks he did break a law and they're trying to get someone else to prosecute it.
But to be clear.
Then how does his daughter get involved?
I don't know.
It's so stupid.
But what I keep coming back to on a lot of this stuff, especially the stuff they've tried to dig up on him in New York, is if, let's just say all of this is true for a second, right?
Like let's say he misrepresented how much his properties were worth.
Like what is the end of this story?
The end of the story is what?
He pays a fine?
Like you guys are letting pedophiles out of prison every day.
You guys are bailing out people burning down cities.
You care about whether he misrepresented how much his apartment cost?
Are we really supposed to believe that?
No, no, no.
Try this.
Try this.
Feds just charged 47 in an alleged scheme to steal $250 million from the pandemic food program.
This government was paying scammers $250 million.
I think it's $240.
Absolutely.
We're making the greatest meals ever.
I don't know.
I think that's one you can point out and say, yeah, there seems to be a real problem.
How about the people that use their PPP loan to bail out their business that they didn't own because they were in prison?
I mean, really, really.
Dilbert Dog Post Surgery Home00:15:30
How about this one?
Because this goes back to her state, Letitia James' state.
The Minnesota story, I think you mentioned, was $240 million over $240.
The reason why I know that is because in New York, $250 million were spent on tech to fight COVID that no one uses, including 8,555 ventilators at a cost of $166 million, 1,179 x-ray machines for $86 million.
They're now stacked in warehouses across New York with no plans to distribute them or put them to any immediate use.
I also...
I need an x-ray machine, remember?
Oh.
Oh, that's right.
For my doomsday scenario.
Your home surgery.
I need home surgery.
I have a home surgery kit, and it's a little more upscale than Operation, the game, okay?
It's not by Milton Bradley, but I need an X-ray machine.
How do I get me one of them?
They're available.
How about, remember when in the middle of the scandal, or middle of the COVID stuff, Andrew Cuomo came out doing his big press conferences and yelling at capitalists for charging too much for hand sanitizer on Amazon?
Do you remember this whole scandal?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So he did this big show where he said, all right, we built, we're going to make ourselves a hand sanitizer with slave labor from prison camps, which is basically what they said they were going to do.
Right.
He said it smelled like lilac and hydrangeas.
And then he said he was going to make all this.
Now, of course, we found out later he didn't actually make the hand sanitizer.
They only bottled it.
The actual prisoners bottled the hand sanitizer.
What's the update on that story?
What happened with all of that?
Remember how, because hand sanitizer wound up being available pretty soon afterward, as far as I remember.
Here's the end of that story.
Ready?
New York is already starting to dispose of 700,000 gallons of expired hand sanitizer made in 2020 by people serving time in New York prisons, a process that will take 44 weeks to complete by shipping a whopping 168 trailer loads 130 miles from Utica to Rochester at a cost of $2.3 million.
It's going to cost them $2.3 million to throw out the hand sanitizer they made after that press conference, which was universally praised by the media.
But let's worry what happened to JPMorgan Chase because they believed it's the most beautiful, spacious billion square acre apartment in all of New York.
It's crazy.
I mean, it is, it's a mental disorder.
At this point, it's a mental disorder.
Let me talk to you about inflammation.
The word sounds really uncomfortable and unpleasant.
A lot of people in the world suffer from frequent pain, and inflammation is usually the thing causing it.
Inside your body, joints begin to swell.
The next thing you know, you have pain radiating outward from all different sources in your body.
And I will tell you also, inflammation causes a lot of our sickness as well.
Ibuprofen has never worked for me.
Never.
Take some ibuprofen.
Okay, I'm just going to go eat a handful of rocks because it will do just about as much.
Inflammation can be stopped in your body.
It has been stopped in mine with Relief Factor.
Ibuprofen doesn't work, but that attacks your inflammation in one way.
Relief Factor goes at it four different directions.

By the way, Glenn, there's one other part of the story I want to make sure you're aware of when it comes to New York and how they spent all of our COVID money.
Of course, the result of this was thousands of people dying in nursing homes, but that's a whole different situation.
They're still spending money on COVID, even though the pandemic is over.
No, the White House disagrees with the White House.
White House of two days ago disagrees with the one from one day.
The president that was in the White House a long time ago.
Right.
Absolutely wrong.
As we know, all policies are different when you're walking through an auto show.
That's what we learned.
That's what he was doing.
He's just walking through an auto show.
He can't take anything.
That's all he was doing is walking through with 60 minutes.
But they're still spending money in New York on this COVID relief program.
And they have a $40 million contract for keeping this particular program going.
What's fascinating about it is they spent all this money, hundreds of millions of dollars, on equipment they didn't use and hand sanitizers they didn't use.
They now have a $40 million contract, and the contract supplies people to the warehouses to guard all of the extra stuff that they bought that they're never going to use.
Because they can't leave it there because people like you will take it for their home surgery.
They could never steal it.
I'll buy it at a low, low price.
But no, they have to protect it with people at $40 million.
More taxes than you'll ever pay in your entire life for most people times 10.
And they're spending it on that.

No investigation because there's nothing to see.
Nothing to see here.
Jason wrote in about his dog's experience with Rough Greens.
I have a nine-year-old Great Dane with a thyroid problem.
Why am I just thinking of an enormous dog with Barbara Bush's head?
No, she didn't have thyroid.
She had, what was the one that makes your eyes pop?
Graves disease.
She had Graves disease.
Anyway.
He said, this is such a stupid, ridiculous.
How did I ever get this job?
The world may never know.
Yes, actually, I'm a CIA plant.
She can't take her medicine because it makes her throw up constantly.
This is talking about the Great Dane.
Before I tried Rough Greens, she slept 23 hours a day.
I cannot believe the difference.
She's more active.
She even jumped on my shoulders twice in the last week.
Wow.
She hadn't been able to do that in years.
Thank you so much, Rough Greens.
Please try this with your dog.
I saw a huge difference with my dog.
It has all of the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants that you need.

I'm glad that you're here.
Scott Adams, who just reached out to Scott and asked him to come on and talk about Dilbert.
He's like, no, I don't think I'm going to, no, don't think I'm going to fish in that water today.
Dilbert has been canceled by 77 newspapers.
Now, the newspapers say, we're just getting rid of the, you know, Prince Valiant kind of comics.
Okay.
Dilbert's kind of a big deal.
Now, if you're cutting your comics, fine.
But really, Dilbert and you're going to leave Snoopy?
I'm just saying.
Even when I was a kid, I never found the Charlie Brown comics funny.
You?
I like Charlie Brown.
I like Snoopy, but it was never hilarious.
That's not.
No, it didn't seem to be the point of it.
And Dilbert, I don't find hilarious.
I just find it a great social commentary.
Yeah, that's what it is.
So here's one of the comics that he's just started.
He just added a new character, Dave.
And so Dave is sitting with his, Dave is black, by the way, sitting with his white boss.
And it says, Dave, I need to boost our company's ESG rating, so I'm promoting you to be our CTO.
And I know you identify as white, so that won't help our ESG scores.
But would it be too much trouble to ask you to identify as gay?
And Dave responds, depends on how hard you want me to sell it.
And his boss responds, just wear better shirts.
I mean, that's funny, right?
That's funny.
And so we're not sure why Dilbert has been removed from almost 80 different markets.
But the bigger question is, did you know there's still newspapers?
I didn't know.
I didn't know that.
Is that confirmed?
No, I don't.
I don't.
No, I just.
Seriously, do you know anybody outside of business people reading the Wall Street Journal?
And I don't even know if they read that anymore.
Well, they read it.
They just read it online.
You read it online.
I mean, do you know anybody that sits down, sits down at the breakfast?
Honey, thank you very much for the eggs and toast and bacon and hash browns you just cooked.
I'm just going to read the sports section and the business section of today's local newspaper.
Do you know anybody?
Do you know anybody that actually goes to their local paper and reads up on what's really happening in the city?
Again, some people go to their local website of the newspaper, but picking it up, it's only people who enjoy that routine, right?
I do.
I was going to say you buy your books largely for your bookshelf and read them as physical books.
A lot of people do that, even though, look, one of my favorite things is Sundays.
I used to read the Sunday Post, the Sunday Times, the New York Post, and another one I can't remember, but I would read the Sunday papers, and it would take me hours to do it.
And my hands would be completely black with ink by the time I finished.
But I loved that.
I love that.
There's something about that.
Yeah, like that routine.
That exercise of doing it like that.
There is something enjoyable about that, but it's not a very efficient way to consume news if what your goal is is to get as much news that is relevant as possible.
I mean, you're just flipping through basically at the whim of the editor who tells you which stories you're going to read in what order.
And this is something we've tried to get away from.
I don't know if people have noticed that.
I haven't noticed.
The internet has solved a lot of those problems.
Really?
Really?
Because I thought those problems still existed.
So you're saying that they don't put things at the top for you to read.
That's a really great.
No, just the internet does it for us.
Oh, the internet.
They just curate exactly what you're supposed to see.
Oh, okay.
And delete everything you're not supposed to see.
So it works out great.
Okay, good.
Good, good, good.
The Glenn Youngkin has delivered on a campaign promise.
Just like him, a Republican, to deliver on a campaign promise.
He said schools can no longer keep kids' choices secret from their parents.
When your kids can't trust the teacher to keep one of the biggest secrets of your life from your legal parents and legal guardians, who can you trust?
Who can you trust?
My gosh, I wish, I wish my kids could keep all secrets from me.
Actually, I kind of do.
There's part of me that's, there's some things lately I'm like, yeah, I wish I didn't know that.
Anyway, so Glenn Young, can you go just tell a teacher that?
I don't really want to hear that.
Move on.
Schools can no longer keep kids' choices secret from their parents.
Gone are the rights to compete in sport as your ID, gender.
So I'm a kid.
You're a 45-year-old man.
Nope.
I'm a kid.
I want to play in kids' baseball.
I'm a chick.
And I really want to swim.
I've been thinking about swimming.
You can't do that anymore.
Gosh.
Same for bathrooms.
Yeah, I identify as a woman.
Sure, sure, sure.
Can't go in and shower with the girls anymore.
Man.
Father-daughter dances.
No longer verboten.
Yes.
You will not dance with your daughter.
So the New York Post or the New York Times and the Washington Post have, of course, said it's rolling back the rights.
I mean, we're going back to caveman days when there were father-daughter dances and boys couldn't shower with girls in the locker room at high school.
I mean, what's next?
Yeah, so much of this is how it's presented.
I was listening to a podcast, a mainstream media podcast, and they were covering two different stories.
One was the story in Iran where women are being murdered for not wearing their hijab correctly, right?
The protests going on in the street.
And the other one was that Texas and Florida are quote unquote banning books and not allowing the sexual stories to be told to teenagers or excuse me, children.
In Florida, it was the don't say gay thing up to three, third grade.
You mean like 75% of Americans say, yeah, they shouldn't be reading that stuff.
Yeah, this is exactly where I was going because you listen to the story about Iran and it's presented in a very specific way.
We say this is supposed to be just a news story, right?
But it's not, right?
The Iran story is presented in a way that signifies to the entire audience, we all know what's right and wrong here, right?
We all understand it.
90% of people agree that trying to, that imprisoning and murdering someone over their incorrect usage of a hijab is a pretty freaking terrible policy.
And we all support the people who are fighting back against the Iranian government protesting in the streets.
Yes.
And it's presented that way.
And of course, correctly, right?
We all do agree on that, at least most of us.
The Illusion of Universal Consensus00:04:26
It's probably a 90-10 issue in the United States, right?
I think it's probably more than that.
Maybe it's 95.5, right?
Everybody supports it.
Then you listen to their coverage of quote unquote banning books in children's libraries, books with explicit content and all of these things.
And you listen to that story and it's presented the exact same way.
Yes.
That it is a 95-5 issue.
Everyone understands that pulling these books out of children's libraries is wrong.
It's this terrible thing that evil Republicans are doing.
No one can believe they're doing it.
Can you believe these poor librarians who have to go through all this?
When at the same time, the actual polling comes out on this issue and it's 70 to 27 in the opposite direction.
Right.
So wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
The difference here is they're telling the full story in Iran.
They're telling about the moral police that came in, took this woman off a subway and died in their custody.
The reports are that she may have been beaten to death.
So everybody's clear on that.
They'll tell you that part of the story.
What NPR and all these other mainstream media places, they will give you the same tone and the same conclusion, but they leave the part out that we don't all agree on.
In fact, the majority disagrees.
When you see the garbage and the sexual content that is being peddled to our kids, literally, if I took it to a playground and I said, hey, kids, you want a book?
Read this.
I'd be arrested.
CNN did a segment on one of these books just yesterday that was quote unquote banned in children's libraries and they would not show the content.
Correct.
To a CNN audience, they would not show the content.
Yet they will argue that it should be shown to children.
Right.
Right.
And then act as if there's universal consensus over this.
We all should just understand which side of this is right and which side of this is wrong.
And there's plenty of room.
Like if there was a, if there's an issue where, like, for example, I'll do a show and we've done shows before where we will say we shouldn't raise the minimum wage.
Raising the minimum wage in America is a very popular policy.
You know, something like 80% of people support raising the minimum wage.
But when we cover that, we don't sit here and say, oh, by the way, everyone understands.
We're 100% right on this.
We'll say, look, a lot of people believe this.
Here's what they believe.
Here's why they're wrong.
Like we will say, and we're opinion guys, but we will say, hey, we understand what this looks like to a lot of people.
And everybody wants, they want to say to raise the minimum wage.
Here's why it doesn't work economically, right?
We'll present it in a way that they say, but they can't.
They can't do that.
They can't do that.
And they don't.
The reason why they can't explain it is because they want people to believe that it is extremists who are against this.
Yep.
Even though a lot of the audience that's watching, if they actually saw the book, the audience, there's no reason you can't show that book on cable TV.
You can't show it on network TV, but you can show it online.
You can show it on cable TV, especially in a news setting.
If I were on Fox, I would have been showing that.
Now, they would have yelled at me, but I would have done it anyway.
And they would have yelled at me because they would have said, do you know how many people were offended by that?
My response would have been, good.
They should see it so they know what we're talking about.
But CNN, who can do it, knows it's so far out of line with the mainstream Democrat that they won't show it.
And then they build this case because you think you do agree with CNN if you're a mainstream Democrat.
You're watching it and you're like, yeah, well, they're on my side.
I'm on their side.
So they know it is just these extremists that are doing it without showing you or telling you what really is going on.
It's, I mean, there's no other way to describe it other than propaganda and evil.
The Evil of Propaganda00:02:43
Pick.
I personally believe it's both.
Back in a minute.
You get health insurance for important reasons.
The last thing you want, you know, needing medical care is knowing that you're going to pay through the nose for it.
Well, the same applies to your car when your warranty runs out.
That's why we have warranties.
Geez, what's wrong with a car?
But the thing is, when we get warranties, we never, I mean, I wouldn't mind it if the warranty didn't cover the first two years.
You know, and then the warranty kicks in for the next four.
That I would do because I know the warranty is, it runs out in four years because that's about when everything starts to wear out.
Anyway, car repairs are expensive across the board.
You don't want to be stuck with a huge bill.
You don't have to be if you have car shield.
When your car breaks down, I have car shield on my trucks.
I have old trucks that I want to drive until the doors fall off.

Stacey Abrams, I have a few things to say about science coming up in just a minute.
You don't want to miss that.
Dr. Abrams?
Yes.
The governor?
Stu.
Yes.
You have said several times that you've been watching?
The Handmaid's Tale.
And I don't understand it.
I've tried to watch it.
It doesn't appeal to me at all.
It's incredibly well done.
I mean, it's very well acted and, you know, incredibly well shot.
They spent a lot of money on it.
And, you know, because there's political associations, I think now a lot of people in the writers like I can I'm not going to watch that.
But I just didn't like I don't know.
It's a horror.
It's very difficult to watch at times because it's brutal and it's not something that you want to necessarily consume.
But at its core, it's essentially a story about a war.
It's a war story.
There's a revolution in America where a new country rises and takes over part of America.
I mean, what was the book that came out or the movie that came out on Amazon a while ago where Hitler actually won?
The Manufactured Fetal Heartbeat00:16:10
Yeah.
Yeah, it's that type of story fundamentally.
It's just been turned into very political.
Nazis are just the greatest bad guys ever.
They are the ultimate bad guy.
This is more of like a theocracy essentially rises in America.
But it's really brutal to women.
To women, yeah.
And it's mostly, I would think, mostly women watching it and people who hang out at the Supreme Court in the robes all the time, every time a Republican makes a decision.
But other than that, I mean, it's hard to understand how it's all women because, man, it is, you know, you see a lot of brutal movies and terrible things happening, but it's usually dudes.
It's usually the dudes getting the worst of it.
You know, like, it's just, you know, usually the dudes are getting murdered.
The dudes are getting, you know, Game of Thrones games.
A lot of dude, a lot of dude dismemberment.
You know, it's not like that in Handmaid's Tale.
It's really hard to watch at times.
There's a decent amount of fast forwarding.
I just, I can't watch those.
There's certain scenes I can't, I can't watch, but I, you know, I'm just a- But Lisa does.
Lisa loves it.
It's her favorite show by like 100 miles.
She freaking loves the show.
I mean, right now, it's basically just a revenge fantasy with this girl going around.
Lisa scares me.
Oh, yeah.
She's coming for you.
She told me.
Did I mention she told me to tell you that?
I don't know what it was about.
She just said she's coming.
Tell Glenn I'm coming for you.
So I don't know.
We'll see.
All right.
All right.
Stacey Abrams.
We're coming to your door to inform you of some medical things next.
All right.
Let me talk to you a little bit about Strive Asset Management.
Your money.
Your money is being used to destroy America.
Your money.
You just don't know about it.
This is why Strive has launched a new U.S. energy index fund traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
It's called DRLL or DRIL.
Strive mandates that U.S. energy companies drill more, frack more, do whatever allows them to be most profitable over the long run.
Strive funds, the bigger they get, the more powerful their voice will be.
Get a prospectus or a summary prospectus with this and other information about the fund.

Read the prospectus or summary prospectus carefully before investing because investment involves risk and principal loss.

Hello, you sick-twisted freak.
Now, I want you to know, I'm a doctor, okay?
I don't play one on TV.
I'm a doctor, man.
I have my doctorate in humanities, which I'm pretty sure means that I could operate on any human being.
Whatever is happening with humans, I can take care of it.
So you need a podiatrist, you need a psychiatrist, you need a heart surgeon.
I'm pretty sure I can do it all.
So I come from a place of experience, but I would like to point out to Stacey Abrams, who I do not believe is a doctor of anything.
She claims the six-week heartbeat is manufactured sound to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body.
Man, she's on to us, gang.
The ultrasound, it's just an evil magic box.
And we're going to talk to Stacy about that.
I'm going to talk slowly, too, so she can understand every word of it.
We'll talk about that evil magic box and how evil men are.
Just trying to trap women into pregnancy all the time in 60 seconds.
The convenience of the modern American life sometimes complicates our efforts to maintain our daily values.
For instance, not all that long ago, if you wanted to have a good cell phone coverage, you had to go with the big boys, companies like Verizon.
You didn't have really choice, even if you knew they were donating to causes like Planned Parenthood.
You're like, well, I got to have a phone, so, oh well.
Now, you don't have to have that.
You don't have to have some of your money sent to Planned Parenthood.
And that's what happens with Verizon.
Patriot Mobile shares your values.
They're not sending any of your hard-earned money to aid in the destruction of America.
They actually spend their own time and their own money working for the causes that you believe in.
The First Amendment, Second Amendment, even the Third Amendment.
You know, quartering of soldiers, still kind of a big deal.
Patriot Mobile is there.
They have affordable plans for your budget, excellent coverage, top-notch U.S.-based customer service, and they're there for the Constitution.

So Stacey Abrams says there's no such thing as a fetal heartbeat at six weeks.
That's weird because I know there's a fetal heartbeat on the sixth week, the seventh week, the eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, all the way still heartbeat.
Even now, I still have a heartbeat.
It's weird.
It's not fetal, but I still have a heartbeat.
So no such thing as a fetal heartbeat in six weeks.
Not true, says she.
Now, she says that this is a manufactured sound.
If you haven't heard a fetal heartbeat, here is a fetal heartbeat from...
Okay, what is that sound?
What is that sound?
Fetal heartbeat?
No.
No, that is the sound you hear at a cheap motel.
Something's going on in the room up above.
Listen to it again.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Tell me I'm wrong.
That's what it is.
That's what it is.
And we put them into this magic box.
Okay.
We just, we go and we tape from seedy motels.
We tape the goings-on in other rooms.
We put it in this magic box.
And then just because we're trying to get rid of the hand sanitizer that New York had that's all expired now that they bought with taxpayer money.
We take that sanitizer.
That's what it is.
They say it's a gel, but you just wipe that all over a woman's belly.
And then you take the magic stick.
And on that magic stick, when you position it right, you hit a little switch and it makes the magic box play what you recorded at the motel.
That's science for you.
That's Stacey's branded science.
Really?
Yeah.
It's manu.
I'm quoting.
Do we have her actually saying this in audio?
Here, here she is.
There is no such thing as a heartbeat in six weeks.
It is a manufactured sample designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body when we move.
Wow.
Wow.
You know, I thought it was a big deal that she thought she was the governor, you know, when she wasn't the governor.
And then she had this amazing turnaround where she said she never said that.
I thought that was kind of amazing.
This is for people who follow the science.
Now, I don't know if you follow the science, but for people who follow the science, I'm pretty sure that's not a manufactured sound.
I'm pretty sure what that is is a heartbeat.
Now, I'm only saying that because that's what science tells us.
And the evil magic box, I don't know if I trusted it.
Well, the evil magic box was designed by men.
You know, men who wanted to take, I mean, what was the quote?
That men have the, it was a sound design to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body.
Amen.
What a weird, see, like, what a strange view of the world.
Can I just tell you as a man, as a man, and, you know, let's say a dirtbag man, the worst side of me as a man.
If I'm getting women pregnant and I have no desire to settle down, yeah.
Can I drive you there?
How can I pay for that abortion?
Okay, guys would be all in for that.
That is much better than having a child with a woman you were just sleeping with and you don't really want to have a relationship.
And then that kid comes knocking on your door going, Daddy, men would rather have you have an abortion.
That's what makes sense to me.
How, I'm trying to understand.
I'm trying to understand.
Think men, if they designed the machine, would make it sound like nothing because they want to be able to get out of whatever weird night they had last night.
I could be a cancerous growth.
I could be a cancerous growth.
I may be a tumor.
I may be a tumor.
That's what it would say.
This is, of course, why so many on the left oppose the policy of having ultrasounds before the abortions.
Yes.
Because they know they'll hear the heartbeat.
They will see if there's a scan to see.
They can see the movement.
They can see the baby formed.
When people are.
And it's 80%.
The mother is 80% more likely to have the baby than kill the baby if she hears the heartbeat.
They know this.
So that's why she's not discrediting men.
She's not just saying, I mean, she's absolutely wrong about men.
We did that so you would have children?
Don't think so.
So she's wrong about that.
But what is she doing?
She's discrediting the machine.
I mean, in such a neophyte way, it's almost like I was at this airport and I just had to tell them, look at how heavy that thing is.
That's not going to be able to fly.
They're putting you into a hypnosis trance.
They're saying they're flying you someplace.
You're not actually going anywhere.
They're putting a mind trick in so you think you went to your Cleveland office.
I mean, this really is.
We never went to the moon level conspiracy.
It is.
You could see it on the video.
You can see the heart beating.
You can hear it.
This is what is going on.
It's a manufactured sound.
If you want to defend abortion, go ahead and defend it.
Defend what you're actually doing.
Stop denying what is reality.
That's all you have to do.
If this is such a great defensible policy, then just come out and defend it.
But they never can.
You notice, even after the Dobbs thing, they're not talking about abortion.
They're talking about, well, what if you have an ectopic pregnancy?
What if a woman has a miscarriage?
You can't get it removed.
Like, first of all, none of this has anything to do with the laws passed on abortion.
But secondarily, you notice how they can't go to the actual thing they say was so important.
They keep defending these other things that aren't true and are much totally different process as we've been talking about.
But if they really believed this was so defensible, they might occasionally defend it.
That's why they were successful for a long time because they said, look, you don't want somebody else making decisions for the woman and for the people involved.
That's let the doctor and the woman figure this out.
And we pray or we hope that it is rare, but it has to be safe and legal.
That's how they got you into the boat.
Because that's how most people feel.
Most people are not for abortion at the very end.
They're not, but if most people feel, okay, I don't know exactly when life begins.
I mean, I think I do because the egg is alive and the sperm is alive.
So it is life when they join.
But you can argue about this back and forth.
Most people feel like, hey, once it's, you know, kind of identifiably as a baby, then we shouldn't kill it.
And they would say, I hope that it doesn't happen, but in cases of incest or rape or something like that, then, you know, go ahead, but it should be rare, but it should also be safe and legal.
That was winning.
Celebrate your abortions.
I've had 1,800 abortions and I loved everyone.
I think it was my, well, it was my 300th.
That's one I'll always remember that was so great that I celebrated at the time.
I mean, that's where they lose everybody.
And because they've celebrated their abortion and are losing regular people, you can't put that genie back in the bottle.
What do they have to do?
They now have to take the insane step of discrediting medical machines and technology.
This is after two years, by the way, of them claiming the biggest scandal in the world was people saying the voting machines were hacked.
After they had previously said that voting machines were hacked in previous elections, they lost.
Do a search real quick on Twitter, social media.
Is Stacey Abrams, does she have a warning that this is mis or disinformation?
Because this is important medical information, right?
This is important medical information.
She's saying that ultrasounds are not real.
That the sound of the baby is not real.
That's really what she's doing here.
This is what she's saying.
Dangerous Disinformation About Ultrasounds00:06:58
And this is a relatively recent thing from the left where they started calling it a flicker instead of a heartbeat.
Remember that whole thing?
The New York Times just called it a flicker in a random article.
And we're like, wait, what?
A flicker?
It's been a heartbeat.
We've known it's a heartbeat.
It's one of the most amazing moments of early pregnancy, right?
You're there.
Maybe your spouse is with you.
You hear the heartbeat for the first time.
It's an overwhelming emotional experience.
Or it's created by men to control women.
Or it's just a mechanical sound of some sort.
Now, this is, honestly, gang, think this through because this is where life gets very scary.
This is where you go to authoritarian rule and you can kill millions of people because you're truly now discrediting things that everyone knows is true.
Okay.
So if you disagree with it, you can say that is an evil magic box that has made up sounds in it to convince people.
If they will buy that, you're at the Salem witch trials.
You're at the Salem witch trials.
Well, if she doesn't float, she wasn't a witch.
That's what you're looking at right now.
And what's frightening is she can say this with a straight face and no one discredits her from her own side.
No one is saying today, you know, I was for Stacey Abrams and then I heard that and that's just evil magic box stuff.
That's witchcraft.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
I can't support her.
And this is a woman who is delusional and has dangerous thinking.
You know, we can't put her into a role of any kind of authority if she thinks this and she really believes this.
And if not, she's just, she doesn't care about lying.
Nobody's saying that.
Nobody's saying that on the left.
Not a soul.
You don't think that they can convince those people that you are a terrorist because of the way you vote?
Of course they can.
They're so emboldened right now.
She thinks she can get away with saying this and people in the audience don't laugh at her or stand up in that public setting and go, come on.
Everyone on the panel nods and vigorous agreement.
Their heads.
You don't think they can convince half the country that you should be eliminated, liquidated, put into a camp, whatever authoritarians love to do?
I got a news for you.
I'd be saying the same exact thing if people on the right were doing this.
We are headed towards dangerous, dangerous times.
We better wake up and stand together because this is a frightening, it's hilarious.
But because people are taking it seriously, it is a terrifying statement.
Back in a minute.
When was the last time you sat down with your kids and just looked through old photo albums together?
It is one thing I really miss, photo albums.
Because when I was growing up, we always had photo albums and we had the photo albums where, you know, my sister's eyes were crossed and we're like, every year we'd look at, look, she looks so stupid.
Okay, you don't do that anymore because if somebody's eyes are crossed, you delete the picture.
So now we just have this perfect view of everybody.
And then we don't have the photo album.
We just scroll on our phone.
It's not the same, is it?
All of the photo albums that you had growing up, they are aging and they will disappear.
Look at them.
The photos are becoming less and less vibrant.

Here's why this matters.
Here's why what people say matters.
We have John Fetterman and John Fetterman, they're keeping in a basement and they're going to, if he wins, they are going to prove that it doesn't matter what condition people are in.
You know, they did it with Joe Biden and they're still ignoring the fact that he's like, with John Fetterman, it's really bad.
The guy had a stroke and the reason why they say he can't really do any debates is because the lights, the noise, it will be too hard for him to concentrate on that one voice.
Are you kidding me?
What do you think the Senate's going to be like?
So things matter, but also words and actions matter.
He called to release all second degree murderers with life sentences.
This is 2019.
He was a lieutenant governor, chairman of the state's board of pardons, and he said, there are people that are serving life without parole for second degree murder.
I hope we could lead to a conversation that would free close to 1,200 people because that legacy never made sense.
Now he's saying, I never said that.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean?
No, I know.
Okay.
Well, they're being taken out of context.
Out of how?
How is it being taken out of context?
He also said that he would ban fracking.
Now he's saying, oh, no, I frack.
I love fracking.
I love fracking, fracking, fracking, fracking.
I liked freaking frack when I was a kid.
I mean, fracking is my middle name.
Financial System Weaponized Against Americans00:15:13
And I really believe that because I had a stroke.
All of these Democrats are reversing their stances on big, very important things.
And if the public is dumb enough to not see that they're doing it because all of the policies that they're doing are dangerous, reckless, un-American, and will destroy us when they go for election and say, no, I'm a moderate.
I'm not for any of these crazy things.
And you buy into it, what happens in the, in his case, four years or six years of sitting there making laws when he doesn't believe in fracking, when he does believe in reimagining the police?

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
I want to play something from yesterday that Joe Biden said about taxes, a global tax.
Listen to this.
Cut four.
With partners in the Americas, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific, we're working to build a new economic ecosystem where every nation, every nation gets a fair shot, and economic growth is resilient, sustainable, and shared.
That's why the United States has championed a global minimum tax.
And we will work.
You know what that means?
That means trapping every business where they are.
No one can move and get a better deal someplace else.
That's what that means.
Also, the bankers all met with the House yesterday, and the Oversight Committee for Finance and Banking Regulations, they had one guy who I just can't get enough of.
They had what's his name from Jamie Dimon from JPMorgan Chase.
And he said something incredible.
He said, no, no, we don't, we don't have any policies that we would stop funding oil and gas.
Really?
Because ESG kind of sounds like one.
Congressman Barr is with us now.
He's the Congressman Andy Barr from Kentucky.
He was there.
Did you ask Jamie Dimon to explain ESG to you?
Hey, Glenn, good to be on your program.
Yes, we wanted to make sure that we talked to all of these leaders in finance about their policies and whether or not they were going to cave into the woke thinking on Wall Street and be bullied by the Biden financial regulators and politicize the allocation of capital, or whether they were going to defend free enterprise and the free flow of capital as it is supposed to be efficiently allocated.
based on supply and demand.
For your listeners who don't know, ESG stands for Environmental and Social Governance, which is a trendy way in which the progressive left have weaponized the banking system to discriminate against companies and causes that they don't like, that are unfashionable, such as the fossil energy industry or the firearms manufacturing sector.
Or trans parents that are speaking out against trans issues or that you're Coca-Cola, you got to learn to be not so white.
All of that stuff.
That's the S in ESG.
Exactly.
And this is a form of discriminatory lending.
Banks should be making lending decisions based on objective, risk-based metrics, not the standards of woke corporate cancel culture.
And the Biden administration has weaponized financial regulators to steer investors into these ESG funds.
And what the American people need to know is that they may be unwittingly financing the agenda of the far left.
And the result for retail investors, Glenn, is that they are now invested in higher fee, less diversified, and lower return investments.
And only 21%, FINRA, which is the self-regulatory organization for stockbrokers, in concert with the University of Chicago, they did a study, a survey of retail investors in America.
And only 21% of mom-and-pop investors saving for college, saving for retirement, counting on financial performance in their 401k or their IRA, only 21% of Americans even know what ESG is.
So there's a real disconnect between the institutional investors, the state pension funds, the BlackRocks and the Vanguards, the asset managers in Wall Street and some of these big banks and retail investors.
But retail investors are actually the owners of the capital.
And many of these progressives on Wall Street have misallocated their capital in ways that diminish returns and advance political agendas ahead of financial returns.
So wasn't Jamie Diamond lying when he said, no, we don't have any policies that would discriminate or defund oil and gas?
They are fully signed on to ESG programs.
He even went as far as saying it would be an absolute, what did he say, disaster or American nightmare if we stopped oil and gas?
Well, not all of these banks or asset managers are created equal, to be fair.
Some of them have more aggressive ESG policies than others.
I will say that at least in the case of Mr. Diamond, that he wrote in a letter to shareholders, and I highlighted this in my questioning of him, that we need a Marshall Plan for U.S. energy dominance to help ourselves and our allies decrease our dependence on Russia, for example, or foreign sources of energy.
And so he at least and his institution, J.P. Morgan Chase, they admit that they will continue and they committed to continuing to finance oil, natural gas.
I focused on coal.
Kentucky is a coal state.
22 percent of America's electricity generation still comes from coal.
We're going to need coal in the future, just like we're going to need other fossil energy sources, natural gas and oil.
And he did commit, at least to me, that his institution would continue to finance fossil energy.
And we need to.
We don't need to be bullied by climate alarmists, non-investor stakeholders, or Biden financial regulators to choke off financing or investment into American energy companies.
And yet that is what the ESG movement is.
They are trying to implement their Green New Deal, their radical climate alarmism agenda through financial regulation and through the financial system.
And this is absolutely compromising American energy dominance, American energy independence.
And we have literally gone, Glenn, from a position of American energy dominance to energy desperate in just two years under these Biden policies in concert with Woke Wall Street.
We're about to do the same thing to farming.
Yeah, exactly.
So my argument is we need more, not less, financing.
I mean, we talk about the Biden War on Energy, canceling the Keystone XL pipeline, canceling infrastructure projects, holding up 4,400 drilling permits, frustrating the construction of new refineries.
All of that's true.
But ground zero in the Biden war against American energy and American energy independence and affordable, reliable energy is the weaponization of financial regulation.
Because let's face it, this is a capital-intensive industry.
And investors just will not allocate capital into this capital-intensive industry unless they know there's some certainty with the regulation.
So some of the other CEOs, I will say, are not as open to financing energy.
And so we made a big point about keeping politics out of the business of banking.
Be a bank.
Don't be a political party.
Okay.
So we're talking to Congressman Andy Barr from Kentucky.
He is on the House Financial Services Committee and also a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Let me ask you, did you get to Visa and MasterCard and American Express with the new gun registration?
Yes.
So one of my colleagues, Congressman Williams from Texas, did press the bankers, the bank CEOs, on this issue.
Of course, this is a new merchant code for your listeners and for those of us who believe the Second Amendment is fundamental.
They have created, the banks didn't do this, but the credit card companies created a new merchant code for firearms.
And some banks have participated in pushing for this.
And the danger of this, of course, is that it allows for woke banks who pursue this ESG agenda to discriminate against Americans who are exercising their lawful Second Amendment rights.
The concern is it is a way in which banks can stop the financing of Americans simply exercising their rights.
The bankers yesterday, when asked about this question from Congressman Williams, they said, look, this was not our decision.
We just follow the rules.
But the truth is this is of deep concern because it's another way in which the financial system is weaponized to discriminate against Americans who are simply exercising their rights.
But it was Amalgamated Bank that was pushing for the change of the rules.
They were the ones who brought ESG to America in the first place, strangely a union bank.
And they're the ones who were pushing for this and got it changed.
So are they saying now we're held to some international banking standard and we can't do anything about it?
Yeah, they are.
And I joined with several of my colleagues in writing a letter to that bank and objecting to their pushing of this to, again, politicize capital allocation.
And politics should not be in banking.
It should be about objective factors.
Is the borrower credit worthy?
Is it based on sound underwriting?
Does this borrower have the ability to repay, regardless of what they're doing?
And so in addition to fighting ESG, we've also been promoting fair access to banking.
You know, long ago, there was discrimination in banking and what they call redlining, where African Americans were denied access to credit for racist reasons.
This was a horrible practice.
Well, today the discriminatory lending is against conservatives.
It's banks in concert with liberals in government who use the weaponize the banking system to discriminate against those who are exercising their Second Amendment rights or the fossil energy industry or, as you say, parents who just want visibility into their schools.
And so we cannot allow this to happen.
We want to depoliticize finance, and this is going to be a major, major focus of Republicans on the Financial Services Committee when we take the gavels back, when we retire Nancy Pelosi and take back the majority.
You're going to be the committee chairperson, most likely, are you not?
Well, I'm in the leadership of the committee, and Patrick McHenry is our ranking member now.
So he will be the chairman of the full committee, and he is on board with our focus on this.
And many of my other colleagues are really focused on this.
Congressman Heizinga, who will chair the Capital Markets Subcommittee, French Hill from Arkansas, Brian Stile from Wisconsin.
And we are going to shine a bright light on this and make sure that investors know that some of these leaders in finance are not doing right by them as investors.
The job of a fiduciary, an investment advisor, the job of the investment advisor is to maximize returns for the investor.
Political Agenda vs. Investor Returns00:02:24
It is not to pursue a political agenda at the expense of the investor.
And that's what we're seeing with this political agenda infecting the financial markets.
Some of them are even saying a friend of mine went and talked about ESG, was asked about ESG at this investment seminar thing.
And the guy said, look, I mean, it's going to cost money.
You're going to probably lose money in the investment first 10 years, but it's going to really take off.
And he's like, you're talking to a group of people that most of us have gray hair here.
We're 10 years away or five years away from retirement age.
And you're talking to us about selling to us something that you say is most likely not going to be the best return for the next 10 years.
And I had to ask you about that?
That's kind of a problem.
A big problem.
And consider this also, Glenn.
Most of these ESG funds carry much higher fees.
So the reason why BlackRock and some of these other asset managers are promoting this is because they say it takes their skill to put together these environmentally friendly funds.
And so they charge on average 43% higher than non-ESG funds.
And not only that, they violate the basic test of investing, investing 101, which is diversification.
They're heavy on tech and they're light on energy.
And if you see what happened in the markets and the equity markets over the last eight, nine months, a huge tech sell-off and energy prices went up.
So if you were invested in energy, you did better.
Well, many investors who are unwittingly invested in ESG, their losses were much more severe because there was this huge tech sell-off and they didn't have any energy stocks in their portfolio.
Andy, I am up against the network break and I've really got to run.
But can you give me a yes or no question?
Are you up to speed on the digital currency and what's going on with all of that with the government?
I'd love to have you back next week to talk about digital currency if you can.
I'd love to talk to you about the dangers, the dangers of a central bank digital currency and why we need to promote private sector innovation, not have the government run digital currency.
Thank you so much.
That's Congressman Andy Barr from Kentucky.
You can follow him at bar, b-ar-r.house.gov.
Goldline Report Buried by the Fed00:01:41
So an update from Goldline, some research mainstream media never published, but certainly had access to.
The report was released then buried by the Fed on July 27th.
That directly contradicts their own public statements about excessive interest rate hikes causing a deep recession.
Their own study warns that a recession and liken our current economic situation to that of a depression was published right before Jerome Powell was on TV saying the opposite.
They buried it and now they're just saying, well, we disagree with that.
Oh, really?
