Adam Curry: The Great Reset & ESG will lead us INTO DEMISE

Former MTV VJ Adam Curry can give Glenn a run for his money when it comes to knowledge of The Great Reset. Now the co-host of ‘No Agenda,’ he joins Glenn on radio to discuss recent efforts in America to both stop (and push forward) ESG — a system, he says, will only lead America ‘into demise.’ Plus, for those new to the concept, Curry breaks down ESG, how it’s being used against Putin in Russia, and why it could target YOU in the near future too...

GLENN: Adam curry, a guy who I used to think was the coolest guy on television. And MTV VJ for years. And then is the guy really responsible for podcasting? I mean, he worked with Steve Jobs, to get podcasts on to the Apple i Pod at the very beginning. He is wicked, wicked smart.

Has been following things like ESG, and The Great Reset for a while.

We come Mr. Adam Curry. How are you?

ADAM: Hey, Glenn, good to see you. Ideas.

GLENN: Good to see you. We didn't meet until a couple weeks ago, and I can't believe that friends -- so we have to have mutual friends. Haven't put us together earlier.

Because we think so much alike.

ADAM: And I think as I've told you on your podcast. We think alike. We have the similar paths. We're also, I think more or less the same age.

After this wonderful visit I had with you, I want to be like you so much, I bought one of those microphones that you have. It sounded really good, on Glenn's Show. I need a little beard.

GLENN: Yeah. Just a little goatee.

You look a little like Colonel Sanders, and you're all set. I want to read something to you, Adam. And get your thoughts on it. We're working with 20 states on legislation. Anti-ESG legislation. And having the Treasuries divest themselves on places like BlackRock. That are clearly working on the interests of the everyday people.

So this is a statement from the Idaho association of commerce and industry. And I want to read this to you, and get your thoughts.

Some in the Idaho legislature are supposed to consider legislation to deal with ESG or environment, social, and governance. ESG, a risk management system is being labeled as the latest threat to individual rights.

Well, as preposterous as this sounds, folks like Glenn Beck have given legislators, a farcical conspiracy theory, from which legislation is being crafted.

While it's easy to dismiss, due to its lack of basis in reality. The problem it creates for businesses are real. Risk management for all companies.

Small and large. Private or publicly traded, have common threads in determining asset risks, from environment factors from climate change or local weather patterns.

Additional risks are present in employment and management relationships, and community acceptance of the business.

Finally, the governance of all companies are critical considerations, when it comes to risk management for investors.

Business is, by definition, based on a risk/reward system.

Legislative efforts to manage how risk inputs are evaluated are unwelcome. And foundationally dangerous to free enterprise. These people are actually using that.

The -- the Idaho association of commerce and industry, believes and defends, that if Idaho wants to retain the moniker of the least regulated state in the nation, there is no role for government to dictate how business or business their and investors will evaluate the importance, to each company. Whether it is through formal systems, labeled as ESG or otherwise.

Listen to this. The tragic reality of the new world is one where talking heads drive policy, to stir the masses by creating nonexistent problems. And then solving the problem with massive overreaches into the private sector.

Businesses cannot stand by and allow this to happen. And we will firmly defend our member's ability to run their own companies, in the way that best suits them as a private and independent entity.

ADAM: Well, first of all, congratulations, you're now officially a conspiracy theorist. This is good news. This is good news.

This is why I always call myself the crackpot. I figure that's much easier. They don't have to kill me.

Well, unfortunately -- and so much happened in such a fast amount of time, since we last saw each other. And a lot of it is coming much closer.

I think we're seeing the total capture. The capture is more or less complete. With that, I mean, if we go back, and talk specifically about what ESG is. It's great hearing about it. A lot of people are talking about it. Not sure exactly what it means. Again, it sounds for environmental social governance. And this is a -- there is a measuring standard that goes along with this. Which was created, literally by the bankers, including BlackRock. And with the separate foundation, to determine how environmentally conscious, socially conscious, and governance conscious a corporation is, and we're talking about mainly publicly listed companies.

GLENN: And hang on just a second. To give you an idea, there's no individual choice on anything. I've talked to people in the oil industry this week. And they have said, Glenn, we can't -- the leases and everything. Yeah. We need that.

We can't get a dime from the banks.

ADAM: Can't get money.

GLENN: So that's ESG. The banks are saying, no, those oil rigs --

ADAM: Not just the banks. It's much worse than that. It's the retirement funds. Pension funds. Insurance companies.

ADAM: Yeah.

And they have, for their own clients, they have certain things they can and cannot invest in.

And this ESG has become this fictitious score. And I don't have a Merrill Lynch retirement account. But I understand that people who do, are already seeing the ESG score of their portfolio, of the companies that they have in their portfolio.

GLENN: Right.

ADAM: And, you know, so we've seen a lot of this taking place, over the past, probably five years. When it started to accelerate. Environmental, that's all green new deal. And holy crap, we missed. We totally weren't paying attentional. And they passed a trillion and a half dollars, in which half is going into that kind of stuff. The social part.

GLENN: The latest bill that just passed. Yeah. The omnibus bill.

ADAM: These things are horrible. And that's all -- I'm sure the Federal Reserve is very happy. Oh, yes. We got to push some money out. Yeah, that's not going to help inflation.

But the social part, we've been watching, really the acceleration, with Black Lives Matter. You saw every corporation. Giving away tens of millions of dollars. Donating tens of millions of dollars to Black Lives Matter, Inc. Which, by the way, has been completely dissolved. There's no one around. Who runs it.

GLENN: Can't find the money.

ADAM: Where is the money? There's a lot of groups looking for money. We were all there. The money went through you. Where did you go?

That's also -- then you have the governance part. Which is equity. So do we have the right amount of black and brown people in the organization?

Do we have the right amount of female to male, to transgender, to whatever.

It all has to be equitable, and equal. And equity is really the key term.

But the social governance capture, is -- comes close to the environmental, with the war.

The war, I'll just say it, in Ukraine. First of all, covid is yesterday's news.

We're still in that -- in that head space, where we're freaked out about stuff.

And during lockdowns, et cetera. The thing that everybody could kind of glom on to, which created this social cohesion. Oh, my goodness.

We could get out of this. Was masking social distancing. And eventually, proof of vaccination. And et cetera, et cetera.

We're still kind of reeling from covid. Things are stopping.

There's no news from it. Please, pay no attention to the Pfizer documents that came out.

And we have tremendous inflation. Uncertainty in the world. War is always scary. And what have we all glommed on to? Thanks to the corporations who led the way, the huge divestiture in starting with Russian oil. But then tech companies.

Everyone just -- I mean, I'm surprised I didn't wake up this morning, and go to Google Maps, and not be able to find Russia.

You know, they canceled -- and we're all jumping on board, and this is wrong. This is fundamentally, at a human level, wrong.

GLENN: And it's wrong also, because despite what people say, that this is free market. Individuals get to choose their own way.

That is not true. That is the exact opposite.

MICHAEL: Wall Street is pushing. They're saying, you can't be in Russian stocks, for Russian assets, or commodities. You've got to get out of it.

And because of this capture, that's taking place with the large corporations, who are advertising, and telling everyone how great it is. I mean, the things that are happening.

This morning, I got an email from universal audio. They make audio equipment I use.

Well, this so horrible, what's going on.

We cut off all Russian customers. They can't even access all IP addresses. It's like, why are you doing that?

Isn't creativity crossing boundaries? Isn't that for all people of the world? I'm a Hamm, as in Hamm radio operator. There's a database online called QRZ.com. You can find all the call signs in there, and you can look stuff up. These guys, they took out all the Russian call signs overnight.

This -- this is -- this is insanity.

It is -- it is psychological escape. And we're following straight into demise.

GLENN: You know, I --

ADAM: For what is happening.

GLENN: I said earlier today, if they can do this to Vladimir Putin, who just willy-nilly throws people out of windows, and gets away with it. Has billions of dollars. And a country with a ton of nukes. If they can do this to him, what the hell do you think they'll think about doing something to you? When you disagree. I mean --

ADAM: And it's the cancellation that is the scary part, Glenn. Because it's financial canceling. And they did it to Canadian truckers.

I mean, in the omnibus bill.

I think it was $100 billion the IRS is going to receive.

GLENN: Yes.

ADAM: You know who they're not going to go after? Goldman Sachs. They're not going to go after BlackRock. They'll go after, you know, small people. Middle class -

GLENN: And probably people who have a low ESG score. Probably parents who are standing up in their -- in their school board meetings, and saying, this is wrong. Those people are going to be targeted.

ADAM: Yes, and you were talking to Michael Malice earlier. Another fine Texas resident. And, you know, he's -- he's absolutely right. With the direction, we're headed, with this announcement, well, it's just another let's go study stuff. And let's come back in six months. But the cryptocurrency, executive order.

GLENN: Biggest story of the week. I think that's the biggest story of the week.

ADAM: Yeah. Because once the central bank, digital coin comes in. And you can find online, videos of the director of the bank of international settlements, talking about this.

GLENN: Janet Yellen.

ADAM: It's open. They're very open about it. That your money will have expiration.

If they give you money, you may not be able to use it after a certain period. Literally, your dollars can be earmarked. And this can be tracked all the way through your spending habit. And when it pops somewhere, where you want to -- I can imagine, in the environmental part. Sorry, you can't buy gas today. You've surpassed your credits.

I know this sounds like -- but China is doing this.

GLENN: Russia. Russia started doing it too. Russia is now doing it.

ADAM: Well, of course, it's a globalist movement. Ultimately, the idea is to get all people enslaved underneath what they're doing.

GLENN: Yeah.

ADAM: But the way I see it, it's a perfect 2-pronged strategy. Now, you can -- you can inflate oil prices. You can -- you can make energy very expensive through legislation, executive orders, et cetera.

I truly believe that the idea -- and this is what you're going to hear our administration saying. Don't worry, we'll put 500,000 charging stations in.

Don't worry, oil won't be a problem once they buy an electric vehicle. That's what they want everybody to do. It's obvious. And they will push us in that direction.

It will be unaffordable to commute to work.

A whole section of people will have no problem, working from home.

It's the physicals versus the virtuals. Even though, you and I, by definition, are kind of virtuals. The physicals still have to go to work. They have five, 6-dollar a gallon gas.

It's going to break that system. Go home. You can't work. We'll save you some digital dollars.

GLENN: Right.

ADAM: Now, it's not tomorrow. But it's coming.

GLENN: It's coming I think sooner -- maybe longer than we would expect. But sooner than we would hope. Adam, hang on just a second. Because I want to continue the conversation about the digital currency.

Because does Congress or the people have a say in any of this? Or is it all the fed? We'll get to that in a second.

More with Adam Curry. Joseph lives in Pennsylvania. He writes about Ruff Greens. How it's affected his dog and his life. He said, my beagle is 17 years old. Sleeping like $20 a day. This is like President Miles.

STU: And miles put him to shame. He's 23 hours easy.

GLENN: He's out.

He wasn't active. I was afraid he was going to die soon. I tried Ruff Greens. I'm amazed. He's wagging his tail again. And I know he's happier. His food and Ruff Greens are gone every day. He's eating well. And he's more happy. I'm amazed at Ruff Greens. I appreciate getting my buddy back again. Thanks.

Joseph, thanks for listening. Thank you for trying Ruff Greens for your dog. And I'm so glad your dog is seeing a difference. It's pretty amazing, the difference. I mean, they eat it, like it's crack. I would say, I don't know what is in it, but I do. Vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants. Everything your dog needs to be healthy.

But it's like crack to them. They love it, generally speaking. They love it. And they're more active.

They run to the bowl. Ruff Greens. RuffGreens.com/Beck. They'll give you the first bag for free, you'll pay for shipping. Make sure your dog likes it. If they do, order the next bag, when you're done with the first one. And just watch the difference in your dog. 833-Glenn-33. 833-Glenn-33. Call them today.

You know, in that executive order, that Biden put out this week, it says, we have six months to -- to decide and come up with a plan, and we'll consult everyone.

Well, it talked about all its stakeholders. Other countries. Businesses around the world. Labor unions.

But it didn't say anything about the American people, or Congress.

It -- do you know that process? Is it all through the Federal Reserve?

They get to choose?

ADAM: Well, we have to go back to the Constitution, who is really allowed, or has the power to create money. And that's certainly not a commercial bank. But that's the Federal Reserve Act changed that. That is something that we would have to go back to.

I think that what is good for people to understand.

And I came to my own understanding, when I talked to banker friends, or people in politics. Even you see it now. When they talk about raising the debt limits.

And there's -- you know, this always is a polarizing issue. Oh, my goodness.

Oh, the Republicans will shut down this. The Democrats will shut down the government. What is really going on. And they're always surprised. You can't not raise the debt limit. That's un-American. You literally hear people say that. That's un-American. Because the way our system works. The financial system is, and this is why the Federal Reserve, does create our money.

Through debt. Says, you know, we like to keep inflation at 2 percent a year. That's not 2 percent, what you're paying extra in gas. Or what you're paying for household goods. Or this Consumer Price Index they've made up or changed throughout the years. That's how much money they need to print every single year, to create, in order for the system to work. And that's why, a Toyota truck, in the '70, cost $5,000. Now it starts at $50,000. That is the result of money printing throughout the decades.

GLENN: And what's crazy. You saw this in realtime. Recently, they said in 2008, the price of gas was -- what was it? 341.

But today -- or what was the price of gas?

STU: It was 411.

GLENN: 411, yeah. And now today, in today's dollars, they say, due to inflation.

STU: That would be like 525.

GLENN: You're like, wait. That was 12 years ago. What are you talking about?

You know, it's not like 1950, to today.

ADAM: Well, and so now the gig is up. Because throughout the financial crisis of 2008, 2009, when they created a whole lot of money. Then we had a similar issue in the liquidity; i.e., banks weren't trusting each other to lend to each other.

So there are one or two weak sisters in the mix. Which is still in there. We don't know where. Now we have another trillion and a half dollars going in. They're solving these problems, kind of as we're going along.

The fix is the central bank digital currency. Because then, you don't have to create more money. You can destroy money, and you can destroy it, directly from people.

By taking off my new amounts of their bank account, after the decimal, and just forever.

GLENN: Adam curry. Great to talk to you. Hope to talk to you again soon. Thank you very much.

Adam curry. You can find his podcast. It's tremendous. Wherever you get your podcasts.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Jeffrey Epstein's SHOCKING connections to intelligence agencies | The Glenn Beck Podcast REPLAY

Journalist Whitney Webb has worked to uncover some of the most dangerous stories of our lifetime, and she joins Glenn to reveal just how eye-opening it’s been. Her new two-volume book, “One Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein,” examines Epstein’s elaborate network of corruption and power, from Bill Clinton to Ghislaine Maxwell and many more. Her research into transhumanism has given her a terrifying perspective on the World Economic Forum and tech elites, including Elon Musk. And she tells Glenn the dark truth about Biden’s push for electric vehicles that she noticed while living in Chile.

Watch Glenn Beck's FULL Interview with Whitney Webb HERE

Is America’s bankruptcy INEVITABLE?

The United States is facing possibly the largest debt crisis in our history as our national debt rises faster and faster. Glenn Beck warns: is our bankruptcy inevitable? Plus, Glenn and Stu discuss the recent protest during an ICE raid on a farm in California.

GLENN: Now, here's another thing. And I will hit this once.

Because it's a little -- it's a little overwhelming.

But I just think you should know it.

Since the dead ceiling was raised on July 3rd. July 3rd.

The US debt is up $410 billion.

Just in the first two days.

Let me say that again.

We raised the debt ceiling. And the US debt goes up 410 billion, almost half of a trillion dollars in two days!

Now, this comes after the US Treasury ended extraordinary measures, raising the debt ceiling by 5 trillion.

We are in the midst of the US' largest crisis.

Largest one ever. Now, listen to this.

After hitting the debt limit of $36.1 trillion in January of 2025, Treasury began extraordinary measures to conserve cash. Last week, when Trump's big, beautiful bill was signed into law. The debt ceiling from 36.1 to $41.1 trillion. And what happened?

In two days, up 410 billion. Raised due to a technical process.

Now, Stu, I don't want to get all technical here. But I think that -- that the debt ceiling going up, and then us spending an additional $410 billion. I think that technical process. And, again, if I'm too wonky, maybe you can explain it, is out of control politicians that are just spending too much.

But maybe that's just me. Is that too technical. Is that too wonky, to get to?

STU: Yeah. You're in nerd world with that one, Glenn. People aren't going to understand it.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

So they were just -- they were just doing what you do, when you don't have the money. They were just moving bills around. And paying what they absolutely had to. Until the debt ceiling was raised.

And then when they did, they were like woo. Because we were completely out of money.

Now we can print some more. Now we're free to borrow a record 41.1 trillion dollars in debt.

Now, here's the part that kind of opens your eyes. To put this into perspective, at the start of 2020, the US had $23.2 trillion in at the time. In 2020, $23.2 trillion.

Where are we now?

Well, we just moved that debt ceiling up to 41 trillion, because we're at $36.1 trillion.

With the new limit, we will mark $17.9 trillion increase, since 2020. That's a 77 percent increase in our debt. Have you thought of it this way?

At our current pace, we will reach the new debt ceiling much sooner than expected.

The treasury posted a 316 billion-dollar deficit in May. That's the third largest in record.

For the first eight months of 2025, the budget gap hit $1.3 trillion. The third largest in history.

Over the last 12 months. The US borrowed 1.9 trillion.

Or 158 billion, every month.

That is half -- this is half of the May levels.

But let's take 158 billion to be conserve.

US current debt stands at 36.6.

We are 4.5 trillion below the limit now.

At our current pace, it will take us 28 months, to hit that limit.

STU: Jeez.

GLENN: In fact, the debt ceiling crisis. It looks like it will hit us now, every two years. The debt ceiling is hit faster than it can be moved. From June 2023 and October 2021, we're the last debt ceiling crisis. The US budget deficit has averaged 9 percent of GDP over the last five years.

But over the last 12 months, the budget gap has hit 7 percent of GDP. That is higher than during 2001, or any of the 1980 recessions.

We now spend 7.1 trillion dollars, 24 percent of our GDP. We have a spending problem.
That's our problem. We are issuing so much debt now, bond prices are falling. And yields are rising. What does that mean? It means, we're charging less, and we're paying out more in interest. That's not going to help us!

The US spent a record of $1.2 trillion on interest expense alone.

That's more than the total spending on defense. Medicaid, and the veterans program.

At our current pace, we're set to see US cost exceed $2 trillion within a matter of years!

Over the next ten years, the US is projected to pay $13.8 trillion just in interest.

For interest alone. This is not taxpayers. This is per person in the United States.

For interest alone, we are now on the hook for $40,500 per person, just for the interest!

This is four times Social Security cash deficit in the next ten years.

Five times the cost of 403 US weather and climate disasters. Since 1980.

403, weather and climate disasters.

It's the cost of 403 of those! Sorry.

It's the -- it's five times the cost of those, since 1980! I just wanted to -- I mean, just want to start there. Wake up to your situation.

People are arguing about all of the wrong things right now, and they are -- we think we are skating. And we think that this can last forever. It's not going to last forever, and then you add things on top of this.

Like, what is happening with -- with ICE?

I don't know if you saw the video of the protesters. Some protester that was firing some sort of a weapon, at a federal agent during the ICE raid at a farm in California. Let me play this. Cut two, please. This is the raid --

VOICE: Take a look at this video right here. It appears a protestor fired some kind of gun at federal agents. This happened this afternoon.

It was a really chaotic scene at the time.
A lot of smoking was being launched at the protesters. Again, it appears that a protestor fired back with that weapon.

It looks like he fired at least a couple of times. We've not heard about any agents being hurt.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: So we are entering a very violent. Very, very violent time. First of all, let me talk about this particular raid. This was at a legal pot farm!

Okay. I think we can probably in the past, just done an hour on that. You know, oh, it's a legal pot farm.

Okay. Forget about that. That's not a problem apparently anymore.

It's being tended, this legal pot farm is being tended by illegals. That are coming across the border.

Well, we don't want to hurt our farming community.

I don't think of our farming community, as pot farms. But maybe that's just me.

Again, why get -- why get down in those details?

STU: Yeah. Glenn, this is just an existential question here.

But is it a legal pot farm, if the workers are illegal?

GLENN: Stu. Stu, again, that would be hour two of any past show that we have ever done together.

STU: Okay. All right.

GLENN: All right. So they go in, and they're trying to bust the illegals.

All right. What happens? Well, there starts to be protests. These protests come.

They start firing at ICE.

ICE has to put tear gas down.

Now the illegals are running to save themselves.

But who is running amongst this crowd?

Apparently, a bunch of children.

Now, I suppose those legal pot farms are providing a good education for those kids.

You know, probably has a pot farm day care center for those kids. So they can be out of the fields. And of course not working for their parents. Because that would be underage labor. You wouldn't want that to happen in America.

You know, all these people that have these bleeding hearts. Like, oh, this is just so wrong.

You're not even thinking anymore.

You're not even thinking.

You just see a video where you have kids running with their parents. Children running from the fields of this pot farm.

What were they doing there?

Certainly, that wasn't underage labor, was that?

Because you would be against that.

Wouldn't you?

Or are you?

Or are you only against that, if it's white children?

I'm not sure. I'm confused.

So you have the underage children. And these bleeding hearts, who are saying, we have to let these people go.

We have to let them just do what they do!

Really? You mean work in the shadows?

You mean engage in possible child labor? Okay. Possibly making, what?

A dollar an hour. Yeah. No, no, no. That's really, really, really good.

Then let's just let these protesters, and they're not protesters.

They are terrorists now.

We just let these terrorists get away with firing guns at our -- at our ICE agents. Things are changing in America. Let's just look at the violence, just in the last couple of weeks.

You have the July 4th ICE ambush, which is what?

ICE 25 miles outside of the city of Dallas. They have a detention center.

A coordinated well-planned attack.

Guy is covered in black. You know, in -- in military gear. They come and they start shooting fireworks at the detention center. Then a few of them break off, and they start spray painting the cars. Which brings unarmed ICE agents out of the building, to try to stop them from defacing the -- the cars.

They're unarmed. Well, this group has snipers in the woods. Hiding in the woods.

As soon as those unarmed agents come out, they start shooting them. Shot one of them in the neck. Thank God, he's still alive. What do you call that?

What do you call that? A Revolutionary War. Terrorism. It's certainly not a peaceful protest. Neither was it yesterday.

And, meanwhile, we have Congressmen who are actually trying to pass a bill in Congress right now, saying that the ICE members can't wear masks.

Well, you know what, when your bad guys stop wearing masks. When your people who are on the -- on the college campuses stop wearing masks, maybe we can live in a community and live in a society where our police officers don't have to wear masks.

Don't give me this. That's gets appear zero stuff.

By the way, the gestapo never wore masks.

They didn't care.

This is the kind of stuff that you see in the third world countries.

You mean like riots on the streets?

Yeah. It's stuff you see in third world countries. And you're dragging us into a third world country.

And, you know what, it's just -- it's -- it's time!

It's time. It's just time to say, enough is enough. And I'm not saying take extraordinary measures.

I'm saying, can our US government, our FBI, our department of justice stop acting like every Bond villain I've ever seen.

And here's what I mean by that. It's like you take these guys off the street, and then you strap them on to a table. And you say, the laser is going to cut your head in half.

No. It's not going to. We all know it's not going to.

Can we stop acting like Bond villains? Can we actually take care of the problem?

Actually arrest these people. Try them. And put them in jail.

We need to start setting a few examples. Otherwise, this is going to ton spiral out of control.

Obama's CIA chief behind Steele dossier deception – exposed!

The FBI has opened a criminal investigation against former CIA Director John Brennan. But will Americans finally see justice for his alleged crimes and cover-ups? Or will the Deep State protect him? Former Department of Defense intelligence analyst Jason Buttrill joins Glenn Beck to give his prediction.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Let's bring in Jason Buttrill who is our chief researcher on the program.

You know, I'm reading a lot about John Brennan, and, you know, I think everybody knows he's a bad guy.

Well, everybody, but MSNBC and CNN.

They know he's a bad guy. But, you know, Jason, as I was starting to really refresh my memory. And look into Brennan, as we're -- it looks like maybe the Department of Justice is going to take him on.

And maybe prosecute him for some pretty bad perjury. I started looking into him, and I didn't realize. I had completely forgotten.

He was the guy who was the main guy that was pushing for torture, during the war.

I mean, he couldn't torture enough people.
And then he actually had a little group that would meet with the president, and they would develop the kill list. Do you remember, Stu?

Talking about the kill list, that Obama was doing? You know, every week. They developed a kill list. And everybody was like, what do you mean a kill list? Who is on the kill list?

It was John Brennan who was doing all of that stuff. He's a really, really dark dude. And, you know, hopefully we'll actually send him to jail for the things that he allegedly has done, besides, you know, develop the kill list. Jason, welcome to the program.

JASON: Hey, thanks, Glenn. I don't -- you know, it depends on -- I don't know. John Brennan has been one of the most slippery, I don't know how to describe him.

Whether it's like Bond villains. Or actually maybe it's more accurate to kill him like a Batman villain.

You remember like in Batman. You know if like the Joker is connected and remains in that comment or cartoon, or if it's the Penguin.

You know at the end of the comic, they're going to get away.

You will just see them in a slide. You know, all of a sudden in page where they slip away. They have to live again. You know, to the villain in another comic book.

GLENN: Oh, I know.

Yeah, I know.

And we are playing the role of a -- of a -- of a Bond villain as well, when it comes to justice.

Our DOJ is like, oh. And we have sharks that are going to eat you.

We have strapped you to this table. But they are going to start with your shoestrings. And then, we will leave. But before you know it, you will be dead in the belly of a shark. And they're not going to -- it's not going to kill them.

Just shoot them in the head. What are you doing?

Stop with the shark thing. That's what our DOJ is like. They just have these guys get away with murder.

JASON: Yeah. As you point out, with Brennan, it goes way, way back.

He was -- as you outlined. He was one of the guys that were right at the center of the enhanced interrogation, or torture controversy.

He -- he always said, hey, I was not in the enhanced interrogation techniques, air quoted, program.

But he was one of the guys, that was defending transferring some of the suspects, the country, where, you know, the rules are a lot less, you know, strict than they are here in the United States.

Where you can employ some of these.

Yeah. It goes beyond that.

He actually withdrew his name. You know, from being in the BCI director because of this.

But like any fat man villain or Bond villain, if he decides to run again, and he's confirmed by a massive amount. He just keeps on slipping through.

GLENN: Well, how does he get -- let me ask you: How do you think he gets this power?
Because he just keeps slipping through.

And, you know, if I remember right, it was Dianne Feinstein that -- that actually came at him, and said, you and the CIA are spying on the committee in -- in the Senate.

And they were investigating the torture, or enhanced interrogation. And he was knee-deep. Maybe neck-deep in that. And he said, we're not spying -- the CIA would never do that.

It's just unthinkable. Well, it turns out, yes. They were spying.

And then he never -- they never pushed for any kind of penalty on him.

He said, well, I'm going to find out, who did this.

And then they will pay.

Nobody paid. Nobody. Nothing. Does he have stuff on -- on members of the Senate and the House? Is that what -- is that what's happening here? How does he keep getting away with this?

Understanding John Brennan, in my opinion is understanding how the Deep State operates.

That example that you just put out there, with spying on the intelligence committee.

Deny. Deny. Deny.

Later it comes out, Glenn. That five CIA employees. Five, improperly accessed.

Five!

And then finally after a while. Like months later. He's apologizing to the Senate intelligence committee.

You know, all, but admitting this happened.

But no resignations.

No prosecutions. This goes on and on and on.

STU: Hang on.

And then on that same case, five years later, he writes his -- you know, his biography.

And he talks about how none of that happened.

So he admits it.

First, he denies it.

Then he's caught. Then he admits it.

He says, I will take care of it.

Nothing happens. Time goes by.

And then he writes a book. And then he goes, all of that. None of that happened.

That was all wrong. This guy is just --

JASON: Yeah. It really is.

And it's the same with the Steele dossier.

You know, did think it in front of Congress.

And then later, now we're coming out. Now we can see that he totally -- it appears like he was just completely lying.

Now we're trying to figure out what about he told John Durham. Because maybe they can get him for saying the same statements to John Durham. If they can, then maybe we can go after him.

But I really don't know.

I really don't know if the audience wants to hear this right now.

I don't know if it will make a difference.

This is how the Deep State operates.

To understand it, and understand John Brennan.

You understand, the executives don't control Deep State apparatuses. That's not how it works.

You have multiple people, and people that were under John Brennan and the CIA, are still there. They're still there.

The Deep State controls the Deep State apparatus, not the executive. Not Congress.

None of them. It is the shady individuals that continue to get away with things. We catch them in lies that never really matters.

I think if we could actually get some justice on this, that John Brennan could actually get -- you know, outed publicly, that he had in the past. This time, something actually happened. That I think that would be a huge step forward in getting rid of some of these people. That just linger. And secretly pull strings, while we're demanding I couldn't wait.

STU: So tell me what happened with the -- the ICA.

You know, the new report out, about the intelligence community assessment.

What is this story all about?

JASON: Yeah, it's a trade craft. The CIA trade craft review.

GLENN: What does that mean?

A trade craft review?

JASON: It's kind of a sexy way of juts saying, how did we operate, you know, from this time, to this time period?

GLENN: Okay.

JASON: And it points out, you know, how things -- like I said. It points out, in part of it. How things like the Steele dossier, ended up getting included into the, you know, whole Russia gate scandal.

And it looks very, very clear, that -- you know, that should not have -- unverified intelligence should not have gotten as far as the president's desk?

It should not have done it.

Even if it had, then it should have been heavily caveated showing, that this is just opposition research bullcrap.

Well, it didn't.

And if you look at it, very, very physically. It shows that if you are, let's say a Bond villain. Or a Batman villain. And you really, really want this damaging information, that's just opposition research, to somehow make it into the hull of the White House. And then knowing that that's going to get leaked down to the media.

They have perfected, you know, the CIA perfected this kind of operation. They know exactly what they're doing. Who would be responsible for doing it?

Why would they be doing it? And it would be for election interference.

And then that's allegedly what John Brennan was actually doing.

That's what it looks like he was doing.

Now we have the intelligence community assessment, showing that this is what happened. With that information and with now being able to go back to people like John Durham or looking at exactly what statements were made to him. So we can fit them into the statute of limitations. Or before it runs out.

GLENN: Which is in the middle of August.

Which really pisses me off. It's another thing like the -- the debt ceiling. Oh! You know, we've had all these years to fix it. But now we have to fix it tonight, and then it's never fixed.

I mean, I'm telling you, this is -- this is not going to be good!

You know, this -- this Epstein thing is not going to go away. It's just not going to go away.

And I'm sorry, but I think the president is on the wrong side on this.

And I'm not assigning any kind of reason for it, but he wants it to just go away.

And I have my belief, I expressed them yesterday.

It's about Intel, again. But you can't keep stacking these things up. You just can't.

John Brennan is a known bad guy, Russiagate. You would think that Donald Trump would be all over this. Because it affected his life so much. This guy is a very, very bad guy.

And both sides of the aisle know it.

And for some reason, nobody can ever do anything about John Brennan. He's got to be investigated and prosecuted if that's where the evidence leads.

But you can't just walk -- if the statute of limitations runs out on this guy, I think -- I think you've got another chink in the armor. A big one!

JASON: Yeah. Yeah. And not just him. I mean, I would go a lot further and say, who were the people that were directly underneath him?

Who were his subordinates? Who were their subordinates?

How many people had knowledge of this?

What we're really talking about is how it operates.

This is how things happen, outside of the wishes of the president.

You know, the executive or even Congress.

This is how -- you know, this is how outside.

This is how justice and how operations work, you know, from people who are not elected.

People that we did not give a mandate to.

This is how this operates. You have to root out every single one of them.

Identify them.

Have them stand in front of justice and see if we can just finally start to will this thing away.

If we do not, then the future does not look great for what we want for this country.

GLENN: Oh, and it's everywhere.

You know, Kevin O'Conner. He's the White House physician for Biden. The testimony that he gave, well, fine. You know, give him -- give him immunity. Give him immunity.

I don't want to know about the private conversations, you know, about his health.

Although, I do think that is really important. We're talking about the president of the United States. He's not just a private citizen. He's property. You know, the president can't say -- if the Secret Service says, sir, you're not going into that room.

The president no longer has the right to say, I'm going into that room.

Sorry, while you're prosecute. It's almost F you're property of the United States of America. And control over your own person in many ways. I'm sorry. But, you know, the physician, client. Or physician patient confidential, I'm not sure that exists, when you're president of the United States.

But there's no reason why you shouldn't give this guy immunity, and then say, okay. Who said, what?

Were you ever told to lie?

I'm not sure you will get the truth out of this guy. Because he is a -- he is a Biden guy, through and through. But people should start going to jail on that.

I'm so sick and tired of these investigations, that start to show promise and then nothing happens. Nothing.

It's been 20 years of investigations, and no one goes to jail.

It's been 20 years of riots on the streets. You know, people burning cities down. People, you know, looting stores. Destroying our economy.

Destroying the safety in our city. And no one goes to jail. President Trump has got to start sending some big, big messages. And he is on so many fronts.

But this one cannot escape his view.

He's got to be on this one.

All right. Jason, thank you very much.

Are fired USAID workers plotting REGIME CHANGE in America?!

Glenn Beck reviews a potentially terrifying story: some former USAID workers, who were fired under Trump, may be planning to use their color revolution tactics to “undermine Trump’s power” and plot regime change. Also, former Department of Defense intelligence analyst Jason Buttrill joins to discuss how the ambush at a Texas ICE detention facility looked eerily similar to what he saw while fighting in Afghanistan.
