Here’s ONE simple way you can prepare for rising food costs

It’s not just Glenn warning you about inflation and rising food costs. Now, even President Biden is sounding the alarm about ‘significant food shortages’ too. In this clip, Glenn suggests ONE simple way you can not only prepare for possible skyrocketing food costs, but how you can SAVE money too: ‘It will BOGGLE your mind how much you’re saving.’

GLENN: Hello, America. If you happen to live in West Virginia. You care about ESG. I would love for you, to call the governor of West Virginia. West Virginia has passed S262. The bill prohibits financial institutions from doing any business with the state of West Virginia. If they are engaged in boycotts of energy companies. This is huge. I don't know if you saw Larry Fink, in this most arrogant letter to his shareholders. And his people. And really, it's to the world. He released it yesterday. He thinks he's the world leader. Nobody elected him. But he is probably the most powerful man on the planet. And he knows it. Yesterday, he talked about how, what we've done in Ukraine. All of our companies. It's going to change the world. And this is the future. Listen to this. Quote, these actions take a break by the private sector demonstrate the power of capital markets. How the markets can provide capital to those who exclusively work within the system. And how quickly those markets can deny it, to those who operate outside of it. If you don't think, that this is The Great Reset. And they're going to tell you exactly what to do, you are out of your mind. They're clearly telling you this. And it's not about Russia. It's about everything. And I have more on that, coming up later. But back to West Virginia. The Senate, the House, they have passed it. Now it is going for the governor's signature. He has said, that he is going to sign it. He's the West Virginia governor, Jim Justice. And would you do me a favor, and would you call Governor Jim justice, and thank him for doing the right thing for him and the people of West Virginia. If you're in West Virginia, your governor needs to hear a big thank you for signing this bill, as early as maybe today or over the weekend. He is expected to sign it, before the deadline of March 30th. And it is critical, in West Virginia, that the governor hears, thank you for doing the right thing. And signing this anti-ESG law. Critical, West Virginia, please, make that call. As I said, you know, there's a -- there's a statement, a letter, that was like written by one of the leaders of the great reset. And it is -- and it is truly terrifying. I will send it out. Tweet it out. And post it, at GlennBeck.com.

But it tells you exactly where the world is headed. And it is headed for The Great Reset. And if you think that this will not affect you, it will. Remember, the idea is, we got to get everybody healthy. We got to save the planet. We have to be social justice warriors. If you step out of line -- let me give you this. If -- if everybody is in it for health. Because we all owe health responsibilities to one another, and the way to do that, is to just make your life miserable, until you get healthy. Do you think your digitized, programmable, personal fed coin, do you think it's going to allow people like me to buy ice cream, when I'm at the store? I might have a limit. Because it's programmable to me. And if they have all of my metadata, they know everything about me. They know that I could lose a few LBs, fatty. Do you really think that it's in the community's best interest, that we eat like we eat. When I go in and buy things, you don't think that they're going to limit? Of course they will. Of course they will. And this is all going to be done in the name of inflation. That's going to be the latest real trouble. And -- and not just inflation. Did you hear what President Biden -- what President Biden said yesterday? I'm sure we have this. Yes. Cut three. Listen to this from President Biden yesterday.

BIDEN: With regard to food shortages. Yes, we did -- let's not talk about food shortages. And it's going to be real. The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia, it's imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries. And our country as well.

GLENN: Did you hear that? Significant food shortages, not just on Ukraine or Russia. But on the rest of the world, including America. If I may, please, please, when you're at a store, buy two of anything you can buy two of. I'm not asking you to hoard. That is going to become very unpopular. And I don't want you to panic. I just want you to go out, and if something is on sale, or you're buying macaroni and cheese and you need one box, buy two. And every time you go shopping, buy two of whatever it is that you need. Instead of one. Just start with that. Buy two. And only use one. Everything -- forget about food shortages. Which are come. Inflation is going to be outrageous, by -- by this time next year, I -- I have no idea. Food shortages and inflation, I guarantee you, just by not panicking. Just by buying two, every time you go shopping, and only using one, by this time next year, you will have made more money in just what you're saving, because you can dip into your food shortage -- you will make more money just on that food, that you have, and the food that you are now -- the money you're saving by not buying that food at the high price. It will boggle your mind, how much you're saving. You won't be able to make that much money on anything else that you could buy. It is something that you really, truly need to consider. I want to give you something else. There is a good friend of mine, who knows this kind of stuff. He -- he wrote last night. Let me see if I can find it here. He wrote a list of what everybody should be looking into. Gosh, where is it? But he is talking about wheat. Even water is going up. If you want to store water. But wheat, pasta, olive oil, I'll give you the full list later on in the program. But that's important to do. And, of course, if you're going to -- I mean, if you're going to buy a new car, I mean, look at, Stu. How long have you -- how long is it? You just passed your seven-month anniversary.

STU: Seven-month anniversary of my new car, very exciting. It's in that wonderful state of waiting to be plucked from the dealership. Which at some point, I think would theoretically --

GLENN: Yeah. But you wouldn't even know what it would cost. So you might not even buy it. Because you don't know what it would even cost you.

STU: My understanding is the way the rules work, among this dealership. Is the parent condition gets to tell them, they can't sell new cars for exorbitant prices.

GLENN: Oh, that would be gouging.

STU: Now, what the dealerships have discovered is -- let's just say a new car comes in. One in high demand. What they can do is sell it to a close friend or confidant. Who can then sell it back to them, as a used car, which they can then charge.

GLENN: Are they actually doing that?

STU: Oh, it's happening all over the country. A car comes in, it costs, I don't know, $50,000. You sell it. You sell it to the person for $50,000. MSRP. They sell it back to you. For a slight markup. Let's say 52,000. Then you put it on your lot for 70,000 as a used car because no one can get cars.

GLENN: Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

STU: So they're massively in demand. All these features can't come. Some of them -- now they're starting to deliver some cars. But without features. Without things that you --

GLENN: And all you have to do is put the chips in. I think it's Ford is doing this with trucks. That there are trucks that are loaded with all the features, they're missing the chips. So the truck runs, just a lot of the stuff --

STU: Yeah. You have a wireless charger for your phone, for example. And, again, can you drive a car without a wireless charger? Certainly. However, when you buy a new car, you order it a certain way, you want it to come in that way.

GLENN: Yeah. Good luck.

STU: And a lot of the reason why people upgrade their cars is not necessarily because the car has issues with it running better. They want to get the new technology. They want to make their lives a little bit easier.

GLENN: Yeah. That's about to change, everybody. But just --

STU: Yeah. I know. It does -- and --

GLENN: We're at the best of this. Remember when people said, Americans will just have to learn to do with less.

They're going to have to -- I guarantee you, a year from now, we'll look back at this time of the covid period, and go, those are good times. We will.

STU: Yeah. And I will say, the car that I ordered, would actually put me into negative territory on my ESG score. They will actually think I'm running a power plant, at my home. A coal power plant is running in my backyard. So my ESG score will suck.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

STU: But did you see the story, this is from a couple years ago, but the credit card that will not -- you buy a certain amount of things over the year. And you cross your carbon footprint limit. It will not let you buy anything anymore.

GLENN: Oh, that's crazy. What? That's a financial instrument, that's cutting you off. What. That will never happen.

STU: Now, in theory, with this car, they're like, oh, it's for environmentalists who want it. But guess what, the technology already exists and has existed for multiple years.

GLENN: Yes. Yes.

By the way, yeast, flour, all-purpose flour, rice, beans, sugar, olive oil, pasta, oatmeal. Okay? Just a quick list of things you're really going to want to do. By the way, you can get them on Amazon right now, and not be called a freak. A Faraday bag for your phone. Don't want your phone tracked? Put it in a Faraday bag. You you can find them on Amazon. Now, if Stu's ESG footprint is going to be bad. I spent the day yesterday with a group of people, that truly have the worst carbon footprint of anyone I know.

Could passengers have SAVED Iryna Zarutska?

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
