Glenn Beck and Dave Rubin dissect the "Great Reset," arguing it has evolved from conspiracy theory into a global reality driven by Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" slogan. They analyze how ESG scores function as social control mechanisms akin to China's system, while discussing Spotify's alleged silencing of Joe Rogan under government pressure. Beck urges listeners to bypass large banks for local credit unions, build parallel economies, and exercise free will against an authoritarian transformation threatening Western society. [Automatically generated summary]
Glenn, why is it, maybe you can explain this to me, you know a bit about my political evolution, why is it that every time one of my friends get COVID, you, Dennis Prager, people want them to die?
So that kinda is what the book is about to some extent, because it's about that there has been a move on all of us and our freedoms for quite some time.
I wanna show the cover again here, and we'll put up a proper image as well, because it's a scary cover, these faces.
These are three scary, which one of these people, it's Soros for me, for sure, out of Klaus Schwab, Soros, and Biden.
When you see immediately, seems like the scariest one, like you wouldn't wanna see him in a dark alley.
But without Soros, there wouldn't be a place to push it.
And without Soros, it wouldn't be being pushed.
He is a huge force.
The other one is Joe Biden, who has bought into this 100% and is on the road to transform not just America, but the entire Western world in ways that will affect your life That you can't even imagine yet.
When you get to the end of the book, you'll realize everything is about to change.
So when you say this, you obviously are talking about the Great Reset, which was a phrase that if we were to utter, say a year ago, people would say you were a conspiracy theorist.
But as everyone knows, yesterday's conspiracy theorist is now today's truth teller.
You've been warning about sort of all of this stuff forever.
I think the first time that we sat down, which is probably about five years ago now, I said, I used to watch you on Fox.
You'd have the board behind you and I'd go and you'd be Rambling all this stuff and running across the room and the whole thing.
And I'd be going, this guy is half genius, half crazy, half entertainer.
And I know that that's three halves, but there was just a lot there.
But you have, you really have been sort of tracking all of this from the financial system to the political system and everything else.
So I guess, where did you, like in retrospect, I suppose, looking back now, do you see a moment when you first started putting the pieces together for some of this stuff?
Um, it is, that is cover to hide what's really going on.
And I didn't figure that one out, but I do remember, um, Sitting in my studio in Radio City, and I was getting ready to do a show and there was a little article I mean, it was literally I mean just a few paragraphs in the Wall Street Journal buried and it was about a One of the congressmen Introducing and then them passing this bill that you could not take your money out of the United States with you and I thought
Somebody knows something is coming.
Somebody knows.
I mean, we've never had a problem with exodus of money.
What is that?
And that's when I first started going, wait a minute, what's going on?
And then I realized that when they say they want to make the world fair and equitable, It was about 2007 or 8 that I realized, well, you can't do that.
You can't bring the rest of the world up to the United States because we've tried.
And it's getting better, but it's not up to parity.
So the easy thing to do is bring the United States down to everybody else's level.
So let's talk about the Joe Biden part of this, because I want to talk about sort of the machine behind it, but let's just get to like the parts that I think are a little more easy for people to understand first.
On the Joe Biden part, do you think Biden is fully aware of what he is part of?
Like the sort of year you think he is, that in this last year, the level of destruction that has been wrought across this country, supply chain inflation, the whole shebang, Afghanistan, everything.
I'm not sure he understands the impact, but he does.
He is fully aware and committed to the direction.
I don't know how much he sees of the wreckage, but he is committed to the direction.
And I say that because his first speech in front of Congress, remember, he got in, it was about a month later, and it was kind of a State of the Union thing.
And if you knew what you were looking for, It was terrifying, terrifying.
He started when he came in and remember they were all sitting like six feet apart and so not everybody was there.
And he said, you are the ones.
And I remember thinking he's at first he's looking at the camera and talking to us and he's like, you are the ones.
And then he started pointing and looking at all the people in Congress that have saved the world.
And you are the ones here that made things happen.
He wasn't talking to the American people.
He was talking to the elites in that room.
The next thing he said, and he said it twice, plus he briefed the news anchors prior to
the speech on what he was going to talk about and the real problem in America.
And he said it twice in the speech.
He said, you know, we have to decide whether our system of government can compete with
with these new authoritarian governments like China.
And the jury's still out.
Well, he said before the speech that he's still betting on America, but I don't know if it's going to survive.
It has to dramatically change.
So they are what they've put together literally is the definition of fascism.
Forget about the jackboots.
Forget about what you think that means.
Look at the real definition.
That is a public-private partnership with private businesses.
And if you're in the party or you're doing what the party wants you to do, you're fine.
The minute you're not, you're out.
Whether that is, you know, a slave camp or you're just out kicking rocks.
Do you think that basically the last 20 years of U.S.
diplomacy with China, we thought that we could get them a little to be a little more like us?
And in fact, it actually just worked out the other way, that we just didn't have the wherewithal to stand for American values and fight for the good stuff that we've been doing here for 200 plus years?
I think that changed maybe around Clinton, and I include the Republicans in this thinking as well.
I think in the 90s at some point, The business people and the government saw, OK, this is communism lite.
This isn't the jackbooted thugs, even though it was.
And they can move quickly and they can do things quickly and they can just direct, you
know, policies and, hey, we're going to be number one in cars, so let's focus on cars.
And they love that.
And I remember in the 90s hearing from very big business people, you know, China is just
a different place and it's very exciting.
And it is, quote, it is the new model.
And I remember back in the 90s going, "Well, I don't want China to be our model."
That's not what we are.
And the big business and government just started working hand in hand over the last 20 years and moving towards that and saying, it's much better because we can get things done.
So the argument, basically, that you're laying out in the book is that through the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, then some of these NGOs and all the stuff that Soros is funding, and then with the President of the United States that are all sort of together working to bring this here.
We're in, we are living the very beginnings of it.
It is here.
It's not too late to change it.
But Dave, what's so frustrating about the sales of the book, the book sold out on day one.
The next printing I can get is, I think they come out at the end of February.
Those, I believe, are all sold out.
We're on our third printing which will come out in March.
People have to read this now.
Time is of the essence.
It is so frustrating.
We are in it and it sounds conspiratorial but the first thing you have to know to understand is build back better.
When I first heard that I didn't realize what it was and it was Joe Biden's slogan to be elected and I thought Who came up with Build Back Better?
That is the worst slogan I've ever heard.
And it's because that's not its original language.
Now they're using Build Back Better for the Prime Minister of the UK, Prime Minister of Japan.
They're using it in France.
They're using it in Canada.
It is the slogan of the Great Reset.
When we went into COVID, if you remember right, and I was looking for it, so maybe you won't remember, They all said a new normal.
We're gonna go back to a new normal Well, I knew what they were talking about because before they said new normal several said the great reset and That's what they have been Sharing and moving us towards is this great reset?
So a it's not a conspiracy and it's almost when you read the book it is almost the Rosetta Stone For the news you will understand Why was Home Depot allowed to stay open, but my local hardware store couldn't?
Why is it I can go to a restaurant, especially a chain restaurant, I can sit down and as soon as I sit down, I can take off my mask.
But when I go to an air on an airplane, I'm seated, but I have to use the mask in between and that air filtering system is far superior than any restaurant I've ever been in.
Do you see any markers that show us the way out of this.
So, for example, as we're taping this right now, there is a massive, probably the biggest worldwide convoy of trucks happening in Canada right now in protest of these mandates of these lockdowns, which is directly connected, obviously, to everything else you're talking about here.
But what has to be stopped, the most important thing that cannot get its roots any deeper If you're an investor of 401k and let's say you have your 401k through you know I don't know JP Morgan or whatever I want you to go to your website and see look for ESG scores and I think it's Charles Schwab that has the ESG score for your account
And when I talked about this, I think it was Bank of America or Citi, one of the banks called and said, no, no, no, that's not what ESGs are about.
We're never going to use them for people.
And I said, then why is your subsidiary using it on my account?
Why do I have an ESG score?
And they said, well, that's because we're doing that because a lot of people really care about social justice and environment and governance of the boards.
And so we're just helping them know who they're investing in.
And I said, you're so full of crap.
You can't see through the brown in your eyes for the love of Pete.
Now they are clear on this.
ESG has to be stopped right now because that is the control of your business, of your money, of absolutely everything in your life.
It is your social credit score and it is starting at the bank level for businesses.
All of the big businesses, they're all in on ESG.
Warning, that is the fascistic system that will trickle down to you.
So here's the thing, I don't know, I mean I think you know Logan, I don't know Joe.
But he seems like a guy who really knows who he is.
And the problem he has, and you know this Dave, we've talked about this.
If you don't have your own platform, and even with your own platform, Amazon can cut you off.
The banks can cut you off.
If you don't have your own platform, where are you going to go?
He just traded YouTube, which would have kicked him off by now, traded YouTube and all those views and easy access without a paywall.
He traded that to go over to Spotify.
He was smart enough to make sure that they're paying him.
Money doesn't talk, it screams.
A hundred million dollars screams to him, but it also screams to Spotify.
You don't flush that down the toilet.
It can he make some adjustments to his show?
Yeah, he shouldn't.
We should all be outraged that the federal government, the only reason why Spotify did anything, they don't care about Joni Mitchell for the love of nobody.
Joni Mitchell's family doesn't care about Joni Mitchell.
So it's not that it's that the surgeon general came out.
And on advice from the White House and said, this is dangerous to people.
And, you know, social media and Spotify, they need to step up their game.
Well, that is the very clear definition of a violation of the First Amendment.
There's the government using their power to coerce somebody to do something.
I don't know, Dave, if he survives.
I hope he does.
But this is... COVID is only the pregame.
Financial is the real game.
And when our economy starts to collapse, the Great Reset people back in December did a nine or ten day war game on a financial collapse.
And the first thing that they did was they had to silence the people Who were saying anything other than the official truth.
And what they were saying was, these people are going to get the entire financial system globally to collapse.
You've got to shut them up.
And those people were saying, I don't think I believe the bank on this, this or this, or maybe you should get your money out of the bank because bank holidays are coming.
All of those things are true as they were gamed, but they will silence us quickly.
The move that the Surgeon General made, that comment that he made that, you know, that the big tech companies, they should look into this sort of thing is very consistent with what this administration did.
I'm sure you saw the video.
I'm sure you covered it when Jen Psaki a couple of months back.
Yeah, we flag things for Facebook.
I mean, have they just figured out a way around the First Amendment at this point?
Do you think that our federalist system is at least set up to fight this thing better, where in places like Britain and France that you mentioned, they don't have that local control?
Unfortunately, we're taking the lead on a lot of it.
And that's why every step you take towards silencing voices or giving the government more power, The worse this becomes, because there will be another emergency that they will use to finally grab that rope and pull it taut around our necks.
But our Federalist system works.
It's really heartening to see two states.
One state, I think it was, was it Nebraska, that passed their Article 5 constitutional convention.
Our states have to separate themselves from the federal government on certain issues.
You cannot come in and tell us what to do.
The local and state is the only thing that will stop this.
There are three states, I talked to them, I don't know, a week after the book came out, and I think it was the Treasury Secretary of West Virginia, it is also Texas and New Hampshire that are putting laws in right now because of the Great Reset.
To ban all banks from using ESG scores, because they're saying that that's the way they're going to make all their financial decisions.
Well, no, that has nothing to do with credit scores.
That has everything to do with politics, and they're banning them.
If we could get half the states to ban ESGs with financial institutions, you'd be a long way down that Federalist road that would stop this.
So what can we do individually besides the people that should probably pick up and go if you live in California and you live in New York, the places that are going to be the epicenters for this nonsense?
I mean, what can people do?
Like, would you recommend people actually take their money out of chase and put it in the local federal credit union in their city?
Because if all of our audiences did that, it would shake the financial markets.
They would be like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
How much money have you lost?
Because that's the money that they are using.
And by the way, after September, I'm sorry, after 08 and the banking collapse, the laws were changed.
The money you have in your checking and savings You are the depositor of last resort.
So you can't go get your money if they say, you know, there's a banking crisis.
We need all the money we can get.
You have zero access to the money.
You're the last debtor that they need to pay.
You're not the first.
So I'm not giving my money to these big financial institutions.
You go to your local credit union, make sure that everything is... I can't remember the acronym for the FDIC for... Right, there's a separate one, yeah.
The separate one.
But you make sure that it's insured and you put everything there.
It's so critical that we are not taking money, our money, loaning money, giving money to these banks that are then spreading it all over America and the news that broke last week all over the world.
Instead, we must Keep it local.
We have to strengthen our local communities, our local businesses.
So best way to do it, and I would do it today, take your money and tell them why.
I'm not going to be in a bank that is involved and has ESG scores.
So speaking of things that you can do today, we're all watching, you know, the supply chain stuff and it took me, I moved to Florida a month ago, it took the truck literally five weeks to get here because the truck with all my stuff just came this week because they can only get trucks to drive one way because in a normal time trucks are going both ways with stuff they can and they also can't get drivers anymore and the price of gas went up And the supply chain, you can't get stuff to build out and say a house or a studio and everything else.
Do we just need to build a parallel economy at every level?
And I mean from banks to a new Home Depot to just the whole damn thing.
Yeah, so I have a chunk of Bitcoin, not a ton, but I have several Bitcoin, and I'm just leaving it.
I've never touched any of it, and I just wanted to sit there and see what happens.
I actually was gonna ask you in a few minutes about, you know, Biden now wants to regulate Bitcoin, which is the whole purpose of a decentralized coin, a whole decentralized system, is to not be regulated, and you can see, obviously, anyone watching this can understand why that would be separate.
That's the off-ramp for this insanity.
I think people have to have it.
You have to be able to diversify because if they come for you, if what you're laying out
here is right, and by and large I think it is, it's like you're going to need some other
ways to have commerce with people.
You're going to be able, when the shit hits the fan, I mean, you're going to need to be
able to trade goods and services with people and that's where crypto comes in.
Are you in a community of like-minded people that will help each other?
Because Dave, there's something else that I touch on in the book.
What's so insidious about this is I have been talking since probably 1995.
There is a new industrial revolution that is coming that will be as profound as the industrial revolution, but when it starts, it will happen in a 10-year period, not 100 years.
Well, we're there.
We're already, I think, I think we're year two in that industry, the fourth industrial revolution.
And by 2030, 40% of jobs are going to be gone.
Maybe there'll be some new things, but probably not.
That's why we're talking about, you know, basic universal income and everything else, because tech knows what is coming.
And now so do our politicians.
The one thing that everybody is pushing us the opposite direction, that we have to recognize, stop and go the other way, is empathy.
The only thing that AI cannot duplicate is empathy.
If you're looking to tell your kids, what kind of job are you going to get?
You'd be really wise to say, forget about school or whatever.
If you want to be a nurse, go to school.
Not a doctor, a nurse.
Go to school and make sure you focus everything on empathy.
Because the AI is going to tell you everything that's going on in that person.
You have to be the one that is the face that comes in and says, it's all right.
Everything is all right.
It's going to be okay.
Because AI cannot do that.
That's where its hole is.
Also, if the world is run by AI or people that, you know, just think of other people as sheep, gosh, they are missing all empathy.
I actually heard you talking about this, this empathy with AI and the robots, and that even when you see the robots that we have now, they cannot show true human emotion.
They do these things that actually look completely counter to human emotion when they try to show human emotion.
And it looks more robotic than you would think robotic would even look.
Is that the weird moment that we're in, that everything you're describing here sounds like a dystopian movie, most likely, or a book that was originally written by Philip K. Dick, but I mean, everything, this sort of sounds like Minority Report, it sort of sounds like Terminator, it sort of sounds like iRobot, like, we're rushing, Matrix for sure, that we're rushing towards it, we all have had all the warnings, the warning signs are all behind us, they were in books, they were in movies, They're in history, they're in the Bible, they're all there.
And we're just rushing, and we're all going, oh, you know, let's keep going, because who's going to stop us?
Like, not what it's doing, but the trick that it pulled right there.
You got to That these people you've got, as you're saying, they're the pawns, these communists and socialists and all these people, they're the pawns and the foot soldiers.
And they think that they're against the power while they literally are for all the corporations.
They're for all of the messaging.
I walk into Target yesterday to buy some cleaning supplies and there is a massive Black Lives Matter section there.
And it's like, you're fighting the power?
Really?
With that shirt and sweatshirt and pants and shoes?
I think in a hundred years, Dave, this is going to be studied in every government program that is, you know, trying to teach about the history and government and behavioral science.
This is this is the time that the world will look back.
I think we're going to be studied for a thousand years.
Especially if we defeat it.
No nation has ever defeated anything like this.
I think we could be the exception to that rule, but only if we all wake up.
Don't go down the road of conspiracies.
Just get the actual facts, because they're worse than anybody that could come up with conspiracies online.
These are true.
And if you just do that, remain calm, work on empathy, don't play into their hands, we beat them.
And here's why I know this.
Have you ever seen the government Ever work this hard to silence people and keep them in line?
I've never seen it.
If they thought we were sheep, if they thought we couldn't stop it, they wouldn't care.
They wouldn't do any of this.
But they are working overtime.
And they're talking now probably about at least 50% of the country.
Remember, to change things, the tipping point is like 19 or 20%.
Have you, in all the time you've been talking about this and taking dozens of callers every day on your radio show and everything else, have you learned anything about the type of person, the makeup of the person, or the belief system of the person that is willing to go into the fire and be the guy in their social circle that's gonna talk about this stuff and change people and everything else?
Because I get some version of this question a lot.
People want, they kinda get it, but they've got their job.
They kinda get it, but they've got their family.
They don't wanna really get in.
But now I think you're right.
We are getting to this odd critical mass.
I mean, when you know, when you've pushed Canadians to do what they're doing up there, you know something's wrong.
unidentified
Canadians don't, they never, they're never pissed off about anything, anything ever.
So I think the easiest line to cross, I mean, Nancy Pelosi is always saying it's for the children, it's for the children.
So it's not about the children with them.
It is about the children with individual families and moms and dads.
That's why you saw the pushback coming at school.
That's why you saw I mean, I have friends who are very liberal thought who could never have voted for anybody but Joe Biden that are really smoked right now.
And the tipping point was you wait, you want to vaccinate my little my little ones?
Are you kidding me?
Never.
It is our children that speak to us, that make us much more brave.
But I think it's just connecting.
We have to connect enough people.
The week I released the book, all I kept hearing in my head was the eyes of the world are upon you.
That's what FD, sorry, that's what Dwight Eisenhower said on the day of D-Day to the troops.
The eyes of the world are upon you, and what you do today will decide the freedom of men and women all over the world.
We need to get to a place to where people understand this is our World War II.
This is our opportunity.
Is it going to be lost in this generation?
And if they really truly understand that, then they'll be courageous because people with children don't want my kids.
I have them in thirties and I have them in teenagers and the older ones have come to me and went, so dad, What is life going to be like now for my kids?
And my answer is, it's yet to be decided.
If we do all that we're supposed to do, it will be fine.
We're going to go through really difficult times, but we make it out on the other end.
If we don't, if we don't stand up, Dave, this is all of the technology that Hitler wanted.
I mean, it's, you know, what's his name, Yavall Noah Harari?
You know him?
So in his book, he talks about that the age of free will is over.
And he says that's right now.
That you don't really make the decisions that you think you make because you're so influenced by what you see and it starts with, oh you're finished with that book?
You'd like this one.
And so we're losing our decision-making, free-will ability.
We have to exercise that.
We have to exercise courage in the smallest ways.
Because if you're not building courage now, it is only going to get harder.
I Don't Know Because I Think He Kicks Down Walls00:05:24
You know, I don't know that I've ever connected this directly before, but you know I do my off-the-grid August thing, which you've welcomed me back on before, but I do always feel more brave after.
You do?
The five years that I've done it, I always expected to feel clear-minded, but I always feel that I have this renewed sense of passion to get right back in and keep fighting for the things that I believe in.
So in our last couple minutes, not to connect this back to politics purely, because I think we're talking about something that's bigger than politics, but you and I did not vote for Trump the first time around.
We both did the second time around.
If he had been president now, if he had won that last election, was that the wall that we needed, no pun intended, with Trump?
Not that you fully went into all of this, but... I said to him, and I've asked him, because I just talked to him again on Friday, and I asked him the same question.
Mr. President, you have to clear out every agency.
You've got to fire all of them.
And he said, I know.
One thing he said was, I, um...
I can't do it with the GOP that I have, because it will take an act of Congress and Senate.
He can't do it with Mitch McConnell.
They just won't do it.
He needs help in Congress and in the Senate to be able to clean out the viper's nest.
I had a congressman who's very low key, makes Mike Lee look a little hyper at times, who said to me on Friday, Glenn, the FBI is the KGB.
And I'm like, I'm sorry, excuse me?
And he said, it is the KGB.
And we all in Washington know it.
And no one's doing anything about it.
And they have to be cleaned out.
Trump, I asked this Friday, Are you working with a council of people?
Are you doing anything to draw up a naughty and nice list and figure out what you're going to do?
Cause you only have four years.
If you run and win four years, that's not enough.
And this is going to be, this will be a death match, uh, to do this.
I think he's the only guy who would, but I don't know if he will or understands it yet.
Glenn, it's always an honor talking to you and I'm glad to be in the fight with you and hope to see you in the free state of Texas or in the free state of Florida.
