Why global elites now are targeting agriculture and OUR FOOD

It’s the next ‘shoe’ in their plan, Glenn says. Global elites now are targeting our food production and farming as a way to battle the alleged climate crisis. John Kerry, Biden’s ‘Special Presidential Envoy for Climate,’ spoke about their plans recently, saying that ‘we can’t get to net-zero…unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution.’ In this clip, Glenn explains why they’re REALLY going after agriculture and just how catastrophic this could be…

GLENN: Well, let me just talk you to a little bit about, you think you're hungry now, Joe Biden's special presidential envoy for climate, Senator John Kerry. Made a revelation this month, as he spoke about the need to, quote, transform the way food is produced. In order to lower emissions.

This is the next shoe in the Great Reset. It's the new crusade for climate activists.

Food production. The -- the -- the -- the emissions have got to be reduced. Have to. I mean, most people -- well, let me just quote him. A lot of people have no clue, that agriculture contributes about 33 percent of all the emissions of the world. Depending a little bit on how you count it, but anywhere from 36 to 33 percent.

And we can't get to net zero. We don't get this job done, unless agriculture is front and center. Is part of the solution.

So all of us understand here, the depths of this mission. Reduction in fertilizer. Land use and cows are a big push, to seek the -- to reduce the emissions created by our food production.

Our food production. One idea that has been put forth, to help reduce methane, is to shift to eating bugs.

Another idea is to feed cows bugs, to reduce fertilizer emissions generated by growing food for cows.

So either you'll eat the bugs, or you'll eat the cows, that were raised on bugs.

John Kerry said, the agriculture sector, quote, needs innovation, now more than ever.

We're facing record malnutrition. Oh, my gosh. At a time, when agriculture, more than any other sector, is suffering from the impacts of the climate crisis.

He said, residents of earth, had only nine years left.

Nine years. Nine years left.

That's it. And I refuse to call climate change anymore.

It's not change. It's a crisis. There are scientists who will tell you today, that the probability of a large portion of Africa, that is a huge food supplier to the continent could implode in terms of agricultural capacity, if we don't get under control what we are doing.

Fifteen million people are dying every single year around the planet, as a consequence of greenhouse gas emissions.

Wow. Wow. I would like to see that.

And the atmosphere, in the air, which travels around, at drops in the form of pollution.

Warming the ocean, at a record rate.

Changing the chemistry of the ocean itself.

Without action, millions of lives and livelihood on the planet.

And parts of the world. Climate crisis has now got growth in agricultural yields by as much as 40 percent.

Wow. Now, he was speaking -- well, let me ask him. If you want to transform agriculture, our food process. From quoting them. Not me.

From seed, to fork.

Who are the first people you will invite to the table?

STU: Klaus Schwab, would be my first.

GLENN: Exactly. Exactly.

STU: Anyone from the World Economic Forum.

GLENN: When do you get to the farmers?

STU: Last. I would say last.

GLENN: Well, just tell them what to do, because they're stupid.

STU: Right. That's the point.

GLENN: They have knowledge partners, Stu.

STU: Oh, good.

GLENN: And these knowledge partners are meant to share best practices, to increase the equitable diffusion, and positive returns to agricultural innovation efforts, focused on adapting to, and mitigating the effects of climate change.

It's got to be flexible, inclusive, and targeted collaboration. Focused on specific innovation areas, guided by the values of openness and transparency.

It is great.

STU: This always works out well. You know, when you take the people.

GLENN: Well, no.

STU: For example, if you were to put this together. Where all you did was listen to, quote, unquote, experts.

And let's say, health.

And then not at all listen to what parents wanted. Maybe the teachers unions in there. A bunch of other groups.

But never ask the parents or the kids.

And then afterward, the kids are -- you know, have their educational lives destroyed, by the policies, implemented by the health officials. That have no educational expertise whatsoever.

That would be an interesting system to try.

GLENN: I would be interested to see how that works out. Has that test ever been done?

STU: You know, I think it was done once.

Let's say globally in 2020, and 2021.

GLENN: It was a different world back then.

STU: The repercussions were table. But of course they would be different this time.

GLENN: Of course. It always is.

For instance, I can go back in history, and say, exactly what has been done here. This isn't new.

I mean, they're calling it new. But this is the Department of Agriculture.

The US Department of Agriculture, in league with the United Nations climate change conference. Or cop 28.

That's coming up in November. They're just getting ready for that. Now, I don't know -- maybe it was -- maybe it was cop one or two.

I'm not sure.

But Mao tried this. Back in the -- back in the '50s and '60s.

It was his five-year plan to transform farming.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And it -- okay. There were 5 million deaths.

But when the experts came to him and said, hey, this is really not working out.

He said, because you haven't tried hard enough.

And so they did it for the full five years. And millions starved to death.

But I think that was different back then. That was different. The experts were different.

STU: You know, eggs, omelets. You know what they say.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: That's going to happen.

GLENN: They learned some important lessons. Which we will not learn from.

But they learned some important lessons with those millions dead.

You know, some could say, this is exactly what happened in the Soviet Union. You know, strangely, two communist, Marxist countries, that tried this very thing.

It's weird. But they -- of course, the farmers didn't know anything. So they killed the farmers.

And then they just got some elites to go in and farm. Which they know everything about farming. Everything. Everything.

STU: Oh, yeah.

GLENN: Because they studied it in a textbook.

STU: And people who put on suits, and uniforms, and go work for the government, for 30, 40 years have a real sense of working with their hands. You know, if we go to their hands dirty.

GLENN: Right. In the real word.

STU: Yeah. They understand that stuff really well.

It always goes well, when they micromanage it.

GLENN: I think farmers would be good if they were made up of lawyers. Because every time the crop failed, they could sue them. You know what I mean?

I'm suing that corn.

STU: Right. And that corn would learn its lesson next time.

GLENN: It would. And it would grow next time. It would be great.

STU: You know, I keep coming up to the idea, there wouldn't be all these farming problems, if it wasn't for all these farmers. I'm taking all the steps out of the communist playbook.

GLENN: Well, I was thinking, we wouldn't have a problem with all these Republicans, or all these poor people, if we just got rid of all the Republicans, and the poor people.

STU: Oh. Easy-peasy, you know.

GLENN: Yeah. That really stops the problem, really quickly.

STU: It does. It does. And it always, without.

I mean, China has done it. The Soviets did it.

There was a really good experiment in that. They were having no problems with Ukraine since.

GLENN: So I think John Kerry has it fixed. Because when I think of somebody who understands farming, I think of John Kerry.

STU: Oh, yeah. You know, every time I see him parasailing off the shores of Nantucket -- no. Was it windsurfing?

I just remember that picture, in the middle of that.

GLENN: Windsurfing.

STU: Yeah. Windsurfing off the shores of Nantucket. I think, here is a man, whose next step is to make sure he has manure. And he's out there in the fields, working hard to make sure your food gets to you.

GLENN: He's up to his neck in fertilizer, most times.

And he's a guy who likes to get his hands dirty.

I can see him all the time, getting his hands in the soil. You know?

STU: Doing manual labor.

GLENN: Labor.

STU: That's the John Kerry, to raise a Heinz Kerry way! He's fertilized. He's out there in the fields. Working hard, to make sure that your field gets you to in fertilizer.

GLENN: He's up to his neck in fertilizer most times. So and he's a guy who likes to get his hands dirty. You know, I can see him all the time.

Getting his hands in the soil. You know.

STU: Doing manual labor.

GLENN: Labor.

STU: That's the John Kerry to raise a Heinz Kerry way.

GLENN: Yeah. I will tell you, that -- I will tell you that I would like to send him someplace, where he is doing hard manual labor.

I would like to send a lot of these people into a place like -- like a farm, you know.

STU: Of sorts. You know, with lodging obviously.

GLENN: Of course, we have to provide lodging.

Three squares. Three squares a day.

STU: You know, Glenn. I like those open environments. Even though, it might be a small area.

You can see for a long distance between bars. Like the bars come down.

GLENN: Oh, that's kind of old school. But I like it, kind of feel.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Why Your Actions Matter More Than Words in the Eyes of God

Glenn Beck and Eric Metaxas expose the spiritual crisis gripping America’s churches — a moment they compare to Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s warning before World War II. As the culture descends into moral confusion, too many Christians retreat into silence, claiming faith while refusing to act. Together, they argue that true belief demands courage — that “faith without works is dead” — and warn that neutrality in the face of evil is itself a form of complicity.

The American Dream is in CRISIS - How Freedom Was Replaced by Comfort

The American Dream used to mean freedom and the chance to build your own life through hard work, faith, and independence. But today, it’s been replaced by comfort, consumption, and debt. Glenn Beck breaks down how America traded liberty for lifestyle, why socialism is gaining ground, and what it will take to reclaim the real American Dream before it disappears for good.

GLENN: I don't know if you saw the visualizing the American dream, Stu.

You know, what the American dream actually is, is that you can forge your own way.

You can -- you know, you can have a scrap of land, and grow your own food if up.

You can, you know, go to school. Not go to school.

You can find a job. If you're qualified for it, you have an equal chance of getting it, you know, based on merit.

But the percentage of Americans who say the American dream is retirement is 86 percent. Health care, 86 percent. Owning a home, 85. Raising two kids, 78. Owning a car, 72. Vacations, 71. Pets, 66. A wedding, 55 percent. That's the American dream, I can get married.

The American dream, if that's what you think, they've now estimated, the cost per household over the cost -- over the lifetime, retirement is $1.6 million. Owning a home now, 30-year mortgage, 20 percent you want to, is $957,594. Owning a car, buying and finance to begin with new cars every ten years is now $900,000 over your lifetime. Raising two kids to 18, plus four years of public college, $876,092. Two kids. Health care, over your lifetime, spending from ages 22 to 85, $414,000. Vacations, annual vacation from '22 to '85, $180,000. One dog and one cat for 11 to 13 years is $40,000!

That's more expensive than a wedding. The engagement ring, the ceremony, and the reception is now estimated to be $38,200.

There's a reason socialism is doing well. You look at that, and you're like, wow. I mean, if that's the American dream. And for a lot of people, that is the American dream!

That's not what the American dream is supposed to be, but, you know, once -- you know, once Woodrow Wilson and FDR got a hold of us and they started advertising, it became stuff instead of freedom. It became stuff. And, you know, when there's a new report out. Let me see if I have that.

There's a new report out now that shows, first time home buyers made up just 21 percent of the home purchases. That's the lowest on record.

The typical age of repeat buyers hit an all-time high of '62. The median downtowns, reaching 23 percent.

The highest since 2023.

And also, where is it?

The last one is -- the median age for first time home buyers, in 1981, it was 29 years old.

I'm sorry. Yeah. Twenty-nine years old. In 2021, it was 33 years old.

What is it this year?

Median age, first time homeowner, forty.

You're 40 before you can buy any kind of home. That puts these things that people want, dream about, out of reach, until you're 40?

You know, 29 is one thing. But if you're not seeing -- you're not seeing your life really kind of settling down until you're 40, I -- I can understand why you're like, you know what, this system doesn't work.

Because you've never seen it work. It's betrayed you.

Or so you've been sold. It's betrayed you.

And everything is being pushed out of your reach. And when you're young, the one thing you're not is patient.

And at 40, I can see why people are not, you know, yeah. Well, socialism is neat because capitalism isn't working. How would you respond to that?

STU: I mean, it's more lengthy than we have time for. But I would say that the response to, you know, you thinking that you want a home is not to embrace an ideology that murders 100 million people.

That's not -- that's not a good answer to the problem that you think you have.

GLENN: But they're not learning that anywhere.

They're not -- that is our responsibility! To teach those things. Because they're not learning it anywhere.

Glenn Beck Warns of 3 Economic Outcomes That Could Change EVERYTHING | Ep 467

Socialism is spreading fast among America’s youth, and the shocking election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani for mayor in New York City marks a major cultural and economic shift. Glenn exposes how runaway debt, record home prices, AI job disruption, and the collapsing stake in capitalism have led many Millennials and members of Gen Z to embrace socialism and communism. He reveals the three possible economic futures for 2026: two that are disastrous and one that could change everything if the Trump administration’s global financial overhaul succeeds. Plus, Justin Haskins, president of the Heartland Institute, joins to reveal some terrifying truths about why young Americans are embracing socialism from a poll he conducted with Rasmussen Reports.

The world is about to realize the DEADLY enemy we face

"The world doesn't understand yet. We're already in World War III," Glenn Beck warns. "That foe is not China. That foe is militant Islam." Glenn explains the battle we're currently facing and what's to come if we don't wake up soon...

GLENN: From New Jersey, it's Brian. Hello, Brian.

CALLER: Hello!

GLENN: Hey.

CALLER: Yeah. Thanks for taking the calls today.

GLENN: Sure.

CALLER: Yeah. I'm worried that we are headed towards another French Revolution-style because we have entire generations. Or actually people just not being heard by their representatives.

GLENN: Hmm.

CALLER: And it's not just here. It's around the world.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

I -- actually, I had scheduled for this time, I'll just do it some other time. Talking about what's happening in -- in England.

I think England is headed for a Civil War. And -- and it's very close.

I mean, you can't put 4,000 people. 4,000 people, in jail, or try them for hate crimes. And speech crimes.

You can't -- you can't do it. In England!

You can't do that in one year. And expect people to just put up with it!

You can't -- you know, we're -- we're -- America doesn't understand yet.

The world doesn't understand.

We're in World War III. We're already in World War III.

I don't know when it becomes a hot war. Or even a war that we on our side recognize. But we are in World War III. And that -- that foe is not China.

That foe is militant Islam, period. And, you know, when we have a situation to where people are -- when the government is just like, no. It's not a problem.

It's not a problem. You know. You've got illegals all over.

It's not a problem.

It's not a problem.

It is a problem. Don't tell me what -- what the problems are not!

Because we're the ones living it!

You're the experts, who keep telling us, no. It's going to work out fine.

And it doesn't work out fine. And it just gets worse and worse.

Oh. We can spend this money. No. It looks like we can't spend this money. Oh, we can afford this. No. It looks like we can't afford this.

You know, if we do this with Ukraine, it will work out fine. No, it didn't, did it? These endless wars, all of this stuff, don't tell me what the problem is. Listen to the people and start talking to the people. Honestly, this is the reason why I'm doing this today. I -- I need to hear from you.

I need to know what's on your mind, so I stay focused and -- and clear on what America is saying.

Because I don't think -- look, you know, me taking phone calls is -- is not a true representation of anything, but it does give me a sense of -- of where you are, as an audience. Maybe not as America, but as an audience. And there are lots of things that concern me. But I want to hear it from you.
But I think you're right! We're headed for real, real trouble. All you need is real economic trouble.

You start getting real, true economic trouble. 1930s kind of depression stuff. And we're in Civil War.

Dan, Oregon. Welcome!

CALLER: Hello, Glenn. How are you?

GLENN: I'm great!

CALLER: Yeah. Good. It's been a long time.

I guess it's been over ten years, since I've had a chance to talk with you. I was one of your first insiders. I was listening to you, since you were in Florida.

GLENN: Wow. Wow.

CALLER: So it's been a long -- yeah. It has been. And I can't say I've enjoyed all of it.
(laughter)

GLENN: Neither have I!

STU: I can't say that either, I'll be honest with you.

CALLER: You know, you were talking on yesterday's show, reminiscing with Stu about how you guys started. And I remember those old shows. And, you know, at the end of the -- the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Right.

CALLER: And there was a lot more entertainment. I remember I laughed a lot.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. I know. I know. Those days are long dead.
(laughter)

STU: There's nothing to laugh about now.

CALLER: Yeah. I -- I'm 78. I still work 40 hours a week. I love my job.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: Been married for 55 years. I have seven kids.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: I've got a daughter -- I've got a daughter who is in her 40s. And she has severe TDS. She -- we don't -- I mean, we're not cutting each other off. She hasn't done that at all. We're still very close as a family. But she was down visiting the other day, and got into a conversation with my wife. And I wasn't in the room. But Kathy said it was just like listening to one of those young people out on the street that was being interviewed by the news media. And she was -- and she was in tears about it. My wife and my daughter both.

And, I mean, I love her, and I continue to support her. She's a single woman, not by choice. She just never found the right guy.

GLENN: Yeah.

CALLER: And I really think that's part of the problem. Because she started reading -- back when Trump was first running, she started reading all of this stuff about him being misogynistic and all of this stuff.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

CALLER: And it's just gotten worse. I -- I'm at a loss. I really am. Because I -- like, I see the country doing better. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. But I still feel like that at least right now, we're doing better as a whole. But what do we do about -- what do we do about our kids about -- she went to Portland State University for the last two --

GLENN: Oh, jeez, for the love of --

CALLER: Well, yeah. For the last two years, she went to -- she went to a little college in Idaho called Ricks for the first two years, and Utah State.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

CALLER: And then she served a mission for our church in Brazil and came home, but then she went to Portland State University. And it just seems to have gone downhill from there.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. So, Dan, I think you are suffering from the same thing that almost all parents are suffering from. If you're not suffering from this, then, I mean, God bless you. You know, get on your knees and thank God. Because you are a lucky, lucky family. Everybody has in their family. I have it in my family.

And you have to ask yourself, what is your goal?

My -- what is your goal with your daughter? Your real goal?

CALLER: My real goal is for us to be united eternally. That's my goal. That's my goal as a father and has been to teach her --

GLENN: And how -- and how is that going to happen with politics?

CALLER: We just stay together as a family regardless of what politics does.

GLENN: That's exactly right. Exactly right.

I think we're in a place now where as parents, you can ask your kids, but it has to be honest. It cannot be trying to win. It has to be honest. How did you get there?

I mean, I remember. You know, we've talked about this before. And you didn't believe that before. What has changed?

Can you help me with that?

I would like to see what you're reading, or what that was.

And just ask questions. But they have to be honest. They can't be, you know, because I'm setting you up. Because I want to change your mind.

But keep a dialogue open with them. And just love them!

Just love them!

Because if you do anything else, you're going to drive them away. And then they're really lost. So just love them.

CALLER: Oh, I know that. Glenn, when she was young -- when she was young, I considered her one of the elect. And the Scripture says, that in the last days, even the elect are going to be deceived. And that's what I'm seeing. But everything you've said, I -- I am doing. I'm doing it that way. Because I know --

GLENN: Okay. Good. Then you didn't need to -- I appreciate it. I'm so glad you called me. But you didn't need to -- my advice, you already have it down. You're a very wise man.
