THIS energy policy could kickstart plans to BANKRUPT YOU

The New York Times will continue to label whatever they wish as crazy theories, but that doesn’t change the FACTS. And those facts are even available on our own government’s website for YOU to read. In this clip, Glenn reads a new energy policy within the Inflation Reduction Act that could have devastating consequences for your home, your wallet, and your freedom. THIS is how they’ll begin to impoverish you, Glenn says, so that eventually you’ll own nothing: ‘You will be impoverished. They will hit you every possible way they can. Through higher prices. Through inflation. Through regulations.’

GLENN: So I want to start here. What is happening in America? We are -- we are -- we really strapped by being isolated by the ocean. And we are strapped because our media blows beyond all recognition.

Okay. You're not getting anything from the mainstream media. Stop watching it.

Let me give you an example. I told you yesterday about a major bank in Australia, announcing the end of financing for new fossil-fueled-powered cars. I wanted to point out, that it was just a couple of weeks ago, that the New York Times ran a hit piece, saying, this exact thing was made up.

I'm going to give you a quote from the New York Times. This article mentioned me and Wall Builders. And also, the Heartland Foundation. The Heartland Foundation and Wall Builders has been instrumental in writing legislation and trying to get legislation passed. The New York Times wrote this, and I quote. The memo had been prepared, using research from the Heartland Institute, a think tank with a history of denying climate science.

And it misrepresented how banks and our other financial institutions were implementing their ESG strategies. It said, quote, if you're a small business owner with gasoline-powered cars. You're eventual going to be faced out of a bank's portfolio. Unless you switch to electric vehicles, of course.

The memo said, in a section about how banks would use ESG to busy to change, similarly, if you want to buy a house in the future, that runs on natural gas. You too, won't be able to get a mortgage until you put solar panels on the roof. The New York Times followed that with, no banks have proposed such measures. So they're trying to, again, call this a conspiracy theory. Let me give you again, that was the New York Times, two weeks ago. There is nothing, but disinformation. This may even be malinformation.

Because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what is going on, all around the world. They admit it. You don't need any inside, you know, secret leaks. It's all out in the open. So they denied this just a couple of weeks ago. And mocked us as conspiracy theorists. And yesterday, starting in 2025. Bank Australia will no longer give you a loan, if you buy a car that runs on gasoline.

Bank of Australia chief impact officer, yes. The impact officer, Sasha Corville said in a statement, that by ceasing our car loans for new fossil fuel vehicles, we are sending a signal to the Australian market. Okay.

I want you to certainly, no matter what the New York Times or anybody tells you, you go to the World Economic Forum's own website. You go to whitehouse.gov. You read the new bill from the government on the EPA section in the -- really? The inflation reduction bill. Yes.

This isn't about cars. This is literally about everything -- every product or service or social media platform. If they can you to buy an electric car through the banking system, they can you to do anything. Because the same strategy could be applied to any industry, any product, any business, or any opinion.
This is not the free market. And I will explain that, if I have to. I will speak slowly. For those who are just, cannot get it through their head.

This is the government. Well, let me give you this example. You can find this at energy.gov.

The U.S. Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program. WAP. W-A-P. Differs in many ways, what is commonly referred to as weatherizing your home.

The latter involves low cost improvement, such as adding weather stripping to doors and windows to save energy. Okay?

When they say, weatherizing your home. The Department of Energy, would like you to know, that's different than their weatherization assistance program.

WAP, still quoting from energy.gov, takes the whole house weatherization approach, that analyzes all of the building systems. The building envelope. The heating. The cooling systems. The electrical systems. The electric base load appliances. Through the completion of an energy audit. Another distinguishing feature of WAP is the attention to the overall health and safety of the clients being served, and the weatherization providers. Many dwellings receiving attention are old and in need of repair. Weatherization providers check -- check the exterior of the building, known as the envelope. And major energy systems, to ensure there are no occupant health or safety concerns, before installing any energy-efficient measures. So what we were saying is, you won't be able to buy a house, unless you have solar panels. Oh, no.

It's worse!

Again, from energy.gov. At its core, WAP is an energy efficiency program. The program is largely measured in terms of energy saved. WAP recognizes homes and buildings work as a system of interrelated parts, and follows the house of assistant methodology. To assess and treat the homes.

WAP. Listen to this very carefully. WAP understands, it's not effective to insulate an attic, if the roof leaks and will degrade the insulation's performance. Therefore, either the roof is repaired before insulation is installed. Or the home is deferred until repairs can be made.

When a home is deferred, it does not mean assistance will never be available. But that the work must be post posed until the issues can be resolved and the home is ready for weatherization.

So if you have a problem, that the government, the Department of Energy says, yeah, you've got to do this before you can do anything else. You're going to have to update possibly your electrical system. Possibly your appliances.

To help with moving homes off the deferral waiting list. Many WAP local providers, combine other federal state and local program funding to address the home, and building problems, so they can be weatherized.

There's all kinds of things. The government is going to do for every business and every home in the United States of America. To make sure it fits exact specifications, that some bureaucrat, not Congress. Some bureaucrat, came up with.

Now, how do you think that's going to affect your income?

Two thoughts. I want you to write them down. And I want you to think about them, every time you hear a story about the IRS, the Department of Energy, weatherization, solar panels, gasoline. Et cetera, et cetera.

You will own nothing. And you will like it. Here's thought number one. Actually, three thoughts. Here's thought number two. Thought number two is, well, somebody has to own it. So who am I renting from?

And the third thought, what happens to all of the stuff I already own? If I'm going to own nothing, by 2030, what happens to that?

I can give you the answer, to all of that. Statement number one is a statement. It's not a question. It's just a statement. You will be happy.

I can make it into -- will you really be happy?

Will you really like it? If you're renting everything that you have now, and you have no ownership in it?

Will you be happy? Two. Who will you be renting from?

The elites. You can get your food from Bill Gates and all the people that will buy up all of the farms. You will get everything from the government. Will you be happy?

And the third thing is, how do -- what happens to my stuff, in the next eight years? Stuff I already own.

You will be impoverished. They will hit you every possible way they can. Through higher prices. Through inflation. Through regulations that will cause you to buy this permit and do this to your house. And you will be required to buy this, otherwise you're not in compliance.

Remember what we said, what conservatives said about Obamacare. It's not a right. And for the first time, I have to buy something to be in compliance, with my citizenship?

I have to purchase something. So I can be a citizen in good standing. Well, yes. Yes.

You'll not only have to buy things, you'll have to stop buying things that you might like. You won't have an opinion, that can be expressed out loud. And you dare not express it online, or even in your house, because Amazon, Apple, Google, is everywhere in our house.

And who have they publicly, privately partnered with? The United States government. For anyone who is still reading the New York Times, or still looking at ESG of and the Great Reset, as a conspiracy theory, you either are dangerously stupid. Or you're part of it. Because it is wide out in the open. You can see it in every bill they pass now. You can see it in every person they hire, with an additional gun.

Tonight, I'm going to show you what they were really looking for at Trump's Mar-a-Lago. I'm going to show you the history of the FBI. I'm going to show you what they're doing with the FBI and the DHS. And the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Energy.

I'll show you what they're doing. They're building an army. You need to watch tonight's show at 9:00 p.m. I urge you to tell a friend. I urge you to even watch it as a group.

WARNING: How America Elects a Socialist President in 2028 | Glenn TV | Ep 444

The rise of Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old socialist who just won the Democratic primary for mayor, is not just a political earthquake shaking New York City — it’s a warning for the rest of America. Backed by Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the Democratic Socialists of America, Mamdani promises free everything, to tax the rich, and to dismantle capitalism. There’s nothing new about this tired strategy, but the media is propping him up as a new political genius. And with Democrat leaders lining up behind him, it’s clear: This radicalism isn’t fringe anymore. It’s the Democratic Party’s future. Mamdani’s rise is part of a larger movement that’s rewriting America’s values. Glenn Beck explains how New York is the prototype for the Left’s socialist makeover of America. Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Standford, gives a terrifying prediction on Mamdani’s mayoral race chances and warns the revolution is coming for mainstream Democrats. He also dives into MAGA’s frustration with the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files.

Salena Zito reveals WHY Trump said “Fight! Fight! Fight!”

“I have a new purpose,” then-candidate Donald Trump told reporter Salena Zito after surviving the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Salena joins Glenn Beck to reveal what Trump told her about God, his purpose in life, and why he really said, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, as she details in her new book, “Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland”.

GLENN: Salena, congratulations on your book. It is so good.

Just started reading it. Or listening to it, last night.

And I wish you would have -- I wish you would have read it. But, you know, the lady you have reading it is really good.

I just enjoy the way you tell stories.

The writing of this is the best explanation on who Trump supporters are. That I think I've ever read, from anybody.

It's really good.

And the description of your experience there at the edge of the stage with Donald Trump is pretty remarkable as well. Welcome to the program.

SALENA: Thank you, Glenn. Thank you so much for having me.

You know, I was thinking about this, as I was ready to come on. You and I have been along for this ride forever. For what?

Since 2006? 2005?

Like 20 years, right?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

SALENA: And I've been chronicling the American people for probably ten more years, before that. And it's really remarkable to me, as watching how this coalition has grown. Right?

And watching how people have the -- have become more aspirational.

And that's -- and that is what the conservative populist coalition is, right?

It is the aspirations of many, but the celebration of the individual.

And chronicling them, yeah. Has been -- has been, a great honor.

GLENN: You know, I was thinking about this yesterday, when -- when Elon Musk said he was starting another party.

And somebody asked me, well, isn't he doing what the Tea Party tried to do?

No. The Tea Party was not going to start a new party.

It was to -- you know, it was to coerce and convince the Republican Party to do the right thing. And it worked in many ways. It didn't accomplish what we hoped.

But it did accomplish a lot of things.

Donald Trump is a result of the Tea Party.

I truly believe that. And a lot of the people that were -- right?

Were with Donald Trump, are the people that were with the Tea Party.


SALENA: That's absolutely right.

So that was the inception.

So American politics has always had movements, that have been just outside of a party. Or within a party.

That galvanize and broaden the coalition. Right? They don't take away. Or walk away, and become another party.

If anything, if there is a third party out there, it's almost a Republican Party.

Because it has changed in so many viable and meaningful ways. And the Tea Party didn't go away. It strengthened and broadened the Republican Party. Because these weren't just Republicans that became part of this party.

It was independents. It was Democrats.

And just unhappy with the establishment Republicans. And unhappy with Democrats.

And that -- that movement is what we -- what I see today.

What I see every day. What I saw that day, in butler, when I showed I happen at that rally.

As I do, so many rallies, you know, throughout my career. And that one was riveting and changed everything.

GLENN: You made a great case in the opening chapter. You talk about how things were going for Donald Trump.

And how this moment really did change everything for Donald Trump.

Changed the trajectory, changed the mood.

I mean, Elon Musk was not on the Trump train, until this.

SALENA: Yeah.

GLENN: Moment. What do I -- what changed? How -- how did that work?

And -- and I contend, that we would have much more profound change, had the media actually done their job and reported this the way it really was. Pragmatism

SALENA: You know, and people will find this in the book. I'm laying on the ground with an agent on top of me.

I'm 4 feet away from the president.

And there's -- there's notices coming up on my phone. Saying, he was hit by broken glass.

And to this take, that remains part of this sibling culture, in American politics.

Because reporters were -- were so anxious to -- to right what they believed happened.

As opposed to what happened.

And it's been a continual frustration of mine, as a reporter, who is on the ground, all the time.

And I'll tell you, what changed in that moment.

And I say a nuance, and I believe nuance is dead in American journalism.

But it was a nuance and it was a powerful conversation, that I had with President Trump, the next day. He called me the next morning.

But it's a powerful conversation I had with him, just two weeks ago.

When he made this decision to say, fight, fight, fight.

People have put in their heads, why they think he said it. But he told me why he said that. And he said, Salena, in that moment, I was not Donald Trump the man. I was a former president. I was quite possibly going to be president again.

And I had an obligation to the country, and to the office that I have served in, to project strength. To project resolve.

To project that we will not be defeated.

And it's sort of like a symbolic eagle, that is always -- you know, that symbol that we look at, when we think about our country.

He said, that's why I said that. I didn't want the people behind me panicking. I didn't want the people watching, panicking.

I had to show strength. And it's that nuance -- that I think people really picked up on.

And galvanized people.

GLENN: So he told me, when he was laying down on the stage.

And you can hear him. Let me get up. Let me get up.

I've got to get up.

He told me, as I was laying on the stage. I asked him, what were you thinking? What was going through your head? Now, Salena, I don't know about you.

But with me. It would be like, how do I get off the stage? My first was survival.

He said, what was going on through his mind was, you're not pathetic. This is pathetic.

You're not afraid. Get up.

Get up.

And so is that what informed his fight, fight, fight, of that by the time that he's standing up, he's thinking, I'm a symbol? Or do you think he was thinking, I'm a symbol, this looks pathetic. It makes you look weak.

Stand up. How do you think that actually happened?

SALENA: He thinks, and we just talked about this weeks ago. He -- you know, and this is something that he's really thought about.

Right? You know, he's gone over and over and over. And also, purpose and God. Right? These are things that have lingered with him.

You know, he -- he thought, yes.

He did think, it was pathetic that he was on the ground. But he wasn't thinking about, I'm Donald Trump. It's pathetic.

He's thinking, my country is symbolically on the ground. I need to get up, and I need to show that my country is strong.

That our country is resolute.

And I need people to see that.

We can't go on looking like pathetic.

Right?

And I think that then goes to that image of Biden.

GLENN: You have been with so many presidents.

How many presidents do you think that you've personally been with, would have thought that and reacted that way?

SALENA: Probably only Reagan. Reagan would have. Reagan probably would have thought that.

And if you remember how he was out like standing outside.

You know, waving out the window. Right?

After he was shot.

GLENN: At the hospital, right.

SALENA: Had he not been knocked out, unconscious, you know, he probably would have done the same thing.

Because he was someone who deeply believed in American exceptionalism.

And American exceptionalism does not go lay on the ground.

GLENN: And the symbol.

Right. The symbol of the presidency.

SALENA: Yeah. Absolutely. And I think that affects him today.

GLENN: So let me go back to God.

Because you talked to him the next day. And your book Butler.

He calls you up.

I love the fact that your parents would be ashamed of you. On what you said to him.

The language you used. That you just have to read the book.

It's just a great part.

But he calls you the next morning. And wants to know if you're okay.

And you -- you then start talking to him, about God.

And I was -- I was thinking about this, as I was listening to it. You know, Lincoln said, I wasn't -- I wasn't a Christian.

Even though, he was.

I wasn't a Christian, when I was elected. I wasn't a Christian when my son died.

I became a Christian at Gettysburg.

Is -- is -- I mean, I believe Donald Trump always believes in God, et cetera, et cetera.

Do you think there was a real profound change at Butler with him?


SALENA: Absolutely. You know, he called me seven times that day. Seven times, the take after seven.

GLENN: Crazy.

SALENA: Talked about. And I think he was looking for someone that he knew, that was there. And to try to sort it out.

Right? And I let him do most of the talking. I didn't pressure him.

At all. I believed that he was having -- you know, he was struggling. And he needed to just talk. And I believed my purpose was to listen.

Right? I know other reporters would have handled it differently. And that's okay. That's not the kind of reporter that I am.

And I myself was having my own like, why didn't I die?

Right?

Because it went right over my head.

And -- and so I -- he had the conversation about God.

He's funny. I thought it was the biggest mosquito in the world that hit me.

But he had talked profoundly about purpose. You know, and God.

And how God was in that moment.

It --

GLENN: I love the way you -- in the book, I love the way you said that as he's kind of working it out in his own he head.

He was like, you know, I -- I -- I always knew that there was some sort of, you know -- that God was present.

He said, but now that this has happened.

I look back at all of the trials.

All of the tribulations. Literally, the trials.

All of the things that have happened. And he's like, I realized God was there the whole time.

SALENA: Yes. He does. And it's fascinating to have been that witness to history, to have those conversations with him. Because I'm telling you. And y'all know, I can talk. I didn't say much of anything.

I just -- I just listened. I felt that was my purpose, in that moment.

To give him that space, to work it out.

I'm someone that is, you know, believes in God.

I'm Catholic. I followed my faith.

And -- and so, I thought, well, this is why God put me here. Right?

And to -- to have that -- to hear him talk about purpose, to hear him say, Salena. Why did I put a chart down?

I'm like, sir. I don't know. I thought you were Ross Perot for a second.

He never has a chart. And he laughed. And then he said, why did I put that chart down?

By that term, I never turned my head away from people at the rally. That's true.

That relationship is very transactional. It's very -- they feed off of each other.

It's a very emotive moment when you attend a rally. Because he has a way of talking at a rally. That you believe that you are seeing.

And he said, and I never turn my head away.

I never turn my head away.

Why did I turn my head away?

I don't remember consciously thinking about turning my head away. And then he says to me, that was God, wasn't it?

Yes, sir. It was. It was God.

And he said, that's -- that's why I have a new purpose.

And so, Glenn. I think it's important, when you look at the breadth of what has happened, since he was sworn in.

You see that purpose, every day.

He doesn't let up.

He continues going.

And it brings back to the beginning of the book.

Where you find out, that there was another president that was shot at in Butler.

And that was George Washington. And how different the country would have been, had he died in that moment.

And now think about how different the country would be, had President Trump died in that moment. There would be --

GLENN: We're talking to -- we're talking to Salena Zito. About her new book called Butler. The assassination attempt on President Trump. And it is riveting.

And, you know, it is so good. I wish the press would read it. Because it really explains who we are, who Trump supporters are. Who are, you know, red staters. It is so good at that. She's the best at that.
