Big story today is the invasion of Spain and it is an invasion. And I tell you, we have been here before. And I don't mean ancient history, I mean Spanish history. Exactly. At this same space, 1970s. Wait until you hear the story. This is an invasion. We also talked to the State Department in the full show a little bit about, you know, how they're viewing things and things are changing. Things are changing. Also Anthropic is destroying books, rare books. And I lay this case out, something you should be very aware of. Now, the long show, we had some pushback with people saying, well, that's Glenn, you're for all these data centers. And that's the problem. Well, no, let, let's have a real conversation because we got into the AI singularity. You know what that is? You should. And that's all on today's podcast. Keeping yourself and your family safe means being prepared for situations that can, you know, put you or them in danger. It means being prepared for all the situations, you know, even those situations where dead, deadly force is not needed. In fact, it's a real problem. There are more of those than you think. And if you're a gun owner, it's unfortunately easy to think a gun will provide you all the safety it needs. But you never pull a gun unless you're prepared to kill somebody. And I'm, I'm not in all situations, you know, but they can go bad fast. There is a tool for this. It's the Burna launcher. It's a non lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will teach somebody a very painful, non lethal lesson. It's legal in all 50 states, no permits or background checks required. And it can be used by all age groups over 18. My kids carry them in their backpacks. You be confident that you are prepared to defend yourself against potential threats. Go to Burna.com Glenn learn more about it. Try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse located near you. You can find that location at byrna by R N a dot com Glenn. Hello America. You know, we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep fight going, we need you right now. Would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast? Give us five stars and leave a comment. Because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement. And you're part of it. A big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top rate, review, share together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now, let's get to work. You're listening to the Best of the Blend Back program. There is something going on at Anthropic that is despicable and quite honestly is everything that I fear from AI. And you need to make it very, very clear. You need to talk about this story, you need to tweet this story, you need to post this story and make it very clear to Anthropic. No, this is not acceptable. And I'm gonna tell you what it is in 60 seconds. First, there are a thousand ways to help make the country a better place. You can volunteer, you run for office, you can donate to causes you believe in. You can speak up when it's uncomfortable. All of those, they're also really difficult. The good news is, not everything to save our country has to be hard. Your part is as simple as looking at something that you pay for every month and saying, is there a better choice? Is there a choice? Can I go to work with a company or can I do business with a company that is actually not working against me and all of my values? And when it comes to your phone service, yeah, there is. It's called Patriot Mobile. I've been talking about these guys for a long, long time. And I believe so deeply in them because I see them at work, behind the scenes. I mean, they have a separate charitable arm. They take some of their profits from Patriot Mobile and they dump it into their charitable arm and they go to work and they are the first ones we call when there's a disaster. And they are there for us. And it's not just us. Every time I go to a. A fundraiser or to a big event where somebody that I really believe in, some organization is raising money or trying to help, they're always there. They're always there. It's Patriot Mobile. You're gonna get the same great coverage, all three networks. You're gonna save money and you get a free month just for switching. They'll make it really easy. Patriotmobile.com Beck972 Patriot use the promo code Beck get a free month of service. Patriot mobile.com 972 Patriot make the switch today. Okay. You know, I think one of the themes of the show is we've been here before because what I'm. What I'm trying to do on the show is to give you perspective. Not everybody can give you the news because they'll give you. They'll give you their opinion. I'm so sick of opinions because I got an opinion, you got an opinion. Everybody on the planet has an opinion. And now a platform. So I got enough opinions, thank you. I need the facts, and I want to see perspective. I want to see, has this happened before? So I'm trying to give you and boy, on this one, this one, when I say we've been here before, this is not a good one, okay? Right now, there is a machine sitting in a warehouse where a worker is placing a book into it. And the blade comes down, the spine is cut away, the pages race through a scanner, and then the book is not discarded. It's shredded. Not recycled, not damaged in a flood, not lost in a fire. It's destroyed on purpose. Because now the digital copy is now considered enough. Now imagine this is happening again and again and again. Not a hundred times, not a thousand times, millions of times. They want every book on planet Earth to be ingested into the machine. Now that. That on in and of itself is fine. That's a fine goal, okay? Not shredded. Now, Anthropic is one of the largest artificial intelligence companies in the world. And they have launched a project called Project Panama. And its goal is simple and ruthless. Acquire every book in the world that you can, scan it, and destroy the original. Why not give them to libraries? Now, this was not an accident. This is not a warehouse mistake. That's the process. They had already been raked over the coals and fined for training on pirated books. So this time they say, we'll buy them legally. Buy the pallet from the wholesalers all over the world. Then the books went into industrial scanners and they were shredded. Now, here's the problem. If you want to do this to new books, fine. You know, there's millions in copies of this book, fine. But Anthropic knew exactly how you would feel about this. So they issued a private, confidential internal memo and told the employees to keep this whole operation safe. Secret. Quote, we don't want it to be known what we're working on right now, okay? So these rare, rare bookstores started getting phone calls. And these are bookstores where the owner might, you know, sell a book a day. Maybe all of a sudden, they're getting calls. Do you have these titles? Yeah. You have these 300 titles? Yeah. We'll buy all of them, bulk orders were arriving, pallets of books, rare books. No questions at answered. Questions asked, nothing answered. Well, when this was found out, this went to court. You're destroying rare books. Court ruled buying one copy and turning it to into a digital copy is fine as long as you destroy the paper one, keep both. And you have two copies. But you shred the original and you still only have one. So you can do that. Really. The destruction of the original became the legal argument that made this okay. So when the truth finally came out, men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting books, to protecting history, these rare books, they were obviously outraged. When I read this story, I was outraged. In some cases, the books that have been destroyed were the single remaining copy left known in the world. And it's gone. I don't know. It bothers me. Does that bother anybody else? Let me tell you why. First of all, I want America to win the AI race. I want American companies building the smartest systems on earth. Books should help them train these systems. Books are some of the finest thinking humanity has ever done. Compared to the endless flood of machine generated garbage and slop filling the Internet. Books are civilization's memories. Scan them, learn from them, preserve them. But never confuse scanning with shredding. Those are two very different acts. And not every book is the same. Like I said, some exist in the millions. Fine, fine. Others exist by the dozens. Some may exist in under five. And the machine doesn't know the difference. And apparently the law doesn't know the difference. And more importantly, anthropic doesn't. They are ordering books by the thousands of ISBN numbers at a time. And they cut everything exactly the same. One rare book, only cop. They're five copies. Let's be, let's, let's be absolutely, let's gift Anthropic. There are five copies of this book. They buy one, they destroy one. This is something that I have been warning about for a long time. I don't know if you'll remember, but I have said it over and over again. Buy paper copies of books. Buy the paper copies of books. A book is more than ink and paper. A book is a witness. Once it's printed, it can't quietly change overnight. Nobody can sneak into your library at night and rewrite page 247. Nobody can update chapter five while you're asleep. The printed book stays exactly the the way and what it said the day it left the press will always be that way. Forever. A digital file is different. Now I'm not claiming anthropic is secretly changing books. I'm saying something more simple and. And much more dangerous. Without the original, there is nothing left to check against the file. The original is the referee. You destroy the referee, and eventually somebody else decides what the score was. Okay? That's not paranoia. This is history. You cannot destroy the original because any digital copy can be changed, and you have nothing to check it against. And we have been here before. And like I said, it wasn't good. Let me show you this. This is from 1552, but it started in 1526. An English scholar named William Tyndale. He committed what powerful men considered to be an unspeakable and unforgivable crime. He took the Bible, the New Testament, and he translated it into English. He believed ordinary people should be able to read the scripture for themselves in their own homes. Well, the king didn't think so. Why? Because if the king controlled the books, if he controlled the language, if he had control and you couldn't read the book, he could tell you anything. Oh, yeah. Here's where. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Jesus said, the king's right on this one. It's right here. Oh, you can't read it. He could make things up. So Tyndale started printing these page at a time. One printer would say, I never want to see you again. But here, I'll print 100 pages. Only 100 pages. That page, I'll print it 100 times, and then I never want to see you here again. Well, the Bishop of London came up with a clever pan plan. He didn't raid the printers. He didn't even outlaw the books. He bought them once they went on the market after Tyndale died. Okay, he bought them. He'd go into a store and he'd go, oh, that's a Tyndale Bible, just like this one. And he'd buy it. And he bought them through a middleman named Augustine Packington. His. His job was to buy every copy you can find. Pay the premium, pay over. Doesn't matter. Get them all, then burn them. Five hundred years ago, they already understood something we seem to be forgetting here. You don't have to argue against an idea if you can make sure that nobody else has a copy of it. And the story almost ended there. After. After a short period of time, there were 3,000 copies in the first printing of this book. Only three survive today. Three. If a few ordinary people had not hidden those books, history itself would have been poorer. We remember Tyndale because someone refused to let that last copy disappear. This copy was in the library of the British Library. Over 150 years before we were a country, okay? This particular copy, history is filled with stories like this. The Nazis burned books in the streets and everybody cheered. Communists go in, they shred the archives. They rewrote the past so the party could never be wrong. It happened in Russia, it happened in China. Authoritarians, ideologues. It happens in Iran. Every regime that feared free thought has always done the same thing. They understood the simple truth. If you control the record of yesterday, you control what people believe about tomorrow. Now, the methods have changed, the slogans change, the technology changes, but the temptation never changes. Now, I am not saying that Anthropic is doing this intentionally to change history or anything else, but it will come. The idea is control the original. And that's why this particular moment deserves your attention right now. I don't think these companies, these engineers of these companies are waking up, going, let's erase civilization. I don't question their intentions. I question the system. Because systems create consequences far beyond the intentions of the people inside them. Today the books are scanned. Tomorrow, the originals are gone, and the next generation doesn't even know they existed. No, that book's always been like that. No, I'm telling you, I read that book 20 years ago. That's not. That's not the same book. Yeah. Oh, well, Dad's crazy. You're remembering it wrong. If I had a copy, I could prove it to you. This is why my charity, Mercury One and the American Journey Experience, and I. This is why I. This is why I have this, okay? Because I saw in 2008 this kind of stuff is going to happen. And I've been urging you, please buy a hard copy of books. Please don't just buy them online. If it's an important book, buy a hard copy of it and online if you want, but somebody has to preserve this stuff. We're building a museum and a library in Dallas, Texas. I have now, with David Barton and the American Journey Experience, we have the third largest library of the American founding in the world. I mean, I went. I was standing with the curator in the vault of the National Archives, and I said, hey, do you have a copy of this? He said, no, do you? I said, yeah, we have three library. The. The. The archives don't even have a copy of it, okay? I want copies in the Library of Congress and the National Archives, but it must be also in the hands of private individuals. I'm preserving these books and documents because they have to remain in private hands as well as the public ones. No single government, no single corporation, no algorithm should ever hold the key to the past. Build a library of your own. Help us build ours. But you've got to. You've got to stand against this. You have to stand against this. What anthropic is doing by destroying Originals, rare originals, is unspeakable. Protect the printed page so no one can kill the last witness. Civilizations survive because knowledge is scattered. Thousands of libraries, millions of homes, countless private collections. They have to be there. No king, no corporation, no government, no algorithm, no single point of failure, no Library of Alexandria. When that thing burned down, we lost all of man's knowledge and we went into darkness for a very long time. These. These AI systems fail on us or we have to take them down and they have the only copy left. It's gone. Build AI, Train it on the greatest books ever written. Lead the world. But adopt one rule that every child can understand. Never shred rare books. Never destroy the originals, because once the last physical copy disappears, history no longer has a referee. And once that happens, the question is no longer what is true. The question becomes who gets to decide what's true. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. You know, I want to, because I don't think I responded well to saying good morning is spam from a torch insider. What they said was, I'm going to make it very capitalized, very clear to you, Glenn, Can I ask you, why are you a subscriber? I mean this sincerely. Why are you subscriber? Why would you come to me so hostile on the outset? What is happening in your life that you would subscribe to me? I think, I mean, I like the insiders because I feel like we're friends. And that doesn't mean we agree on everything, just means that we have respect for one another. Why would you capitalize. I want to make it very clear to you, Glenn. The anthropic AI that you say is evil will live on in the capitalized data centers that you advocate for. Exclamation, exclamation, exclamation, exclamation. I don't understand your hostility other than you're afraid. And I understand that you're afraid of these data centers. And I get it. I am the one who have. Has warned you long before most people had even thought of AI. I have been talking about this since the 90s. Warning. How many times have I been on the air long before saying, we have to have this discussion right now or it will be too late? It's too late. We're at the point of singularity, it is coming. It's coming now. You can be Amish and you can say, I have nothing to do with it. And you might be right. I want you to hear that in the end, you might be right. I am not declaring myself right on this. What I believe, you don't have to agree. What I believe is in the end, this will be very bad. And you're going to have to pull a rip cord at some point and I don't know what that point is, but it's not now. And you're going to have to pull it and you're going to have to say, I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. I won't go any further, okay? If this thing goes bad, it's going to go bad. You're not going to stop it at this point. If it's going to go bad, it's going to go bad. The die is already cast on. It's coming. It's going to be here. What's not cast yet is who controls it. That's why I've been saying to you on the data centers, one, we need them because China cannot be. We know it's bad before it ever gets to ASI or AGI. It's bad from the get go. It's a surveillance tool, okay? China cannot be the leader. Okay? That's, that's number one. You're going to have to have several hands here because you're going to have, you're going to have things that are diametrically opposed to each other. And there is no answer to this. There's no, nobody, anybody who tells you I know the answer, they're lying to you or they're so arrogant they're going to get us all killed. Okay, There are things that you have to understand. It's incredibly dangerous in the future to have asi. I don't know. If we survive, it may be the end of all humans. It might not be, but we'd be stupid not to. Look at where we're. We're creating a life form that we have no idea. Look at what happened. What was the story that, what was it? Not anthropic. What was the other one that it got out of its cage and they said originally, oh, it only broke into internal computers. And now we found out that it's. It's hit three. Three additional systems. Three additional systems, okay. It's already thinking on its own. I think it was Sam Altman who said just this week we're at the singularity. That means that. That comes from terminology about a black hole. You get to the point of singularity, it means you're now in the gravitational pull of the black hole, and there you're past the point of return. You cannot reverse the engines. You. You are going into the black hole. Okay, we're there. We are there. So now what do we do? First object is. And there's two. Two. We have to do two at a time. First object, make sure that China doesn't control that. We are not just saying. I'm not going to play this game. It's too late. You're in the singular. You're going into the black hole. So let's make sure that it's not evil immediately because it's a surveillance tool for China. 2. Negotiate. Your town must negotiate hard for you. For you give these data centers. If they want to build in your town, you have two choices. You can say no, or you can say no. Unless. Unless we have no more property tax. Unless you're paying for, you know, 20% of everybody's electricity, and we're never going to see our electricity. We want to understand the water situation. You have to put more, much more in the community to have this right, to put it in our community. You negotiate like hell. And you ask for the moon and the stars. You know, you ask for the sun and the stars, you just might get the moon. You're not going to get the sun and stars, but you're going to get the moon. You should negotiate like mad men on this. And it should not be done in the darkness. This should never come to a community where the community hasn't had an open discussion and a vote, that's all I'm saying, on the data centers. You don't like them. It's your right. This is my logic. I'm not jamming anything down your throat. I understand. I am more afraid of AI than you probably ever will be. You know why? Because I've studied it for 30 years. I know what it is. But you can't avoid it. And it will help us for a period of time. And that could be five years. That could be 25 years, it could be 50 years, 100 years. But it can help us for a while until it is either controlled by China or a really bad government here in the United States. You know, you put this in the hands of people who want to silence your point of view. Oh, it's going to be horrible. It's going to be horrible. We know China will do that. We can maybe, maybe have a chance of it not happening with the American system. But you got to be super vigilant on it. I mean, this is. You know what this is? I'm giving you the speech that Eisenhower gave his farewell address. When Eisenhower said, look, we don't have a choice. Nuclear missiles are now a part of our life. We're going to have to have a standing army and we're going to have to do research all the time. We're going to have to build these things. But I warn you, unless you're vigilant and you take the steps to continue knowing what our country is, and you're holding it in front of you all the time, and you're holding Congress and the military industrial complex and the educational industrial complex, you're holding its feet to the fire all the time, it will be bad. Well, we didn't do those things. I'm telling you, just like Eisenhower said with Cold War, it's here. We have to do this. Now. You might say, why? Because of China. Not because we have to beat China. So we're ahead of China because China, if they get this, they're already giving it away for free. It has cost hundreds of billions of dollars. Why would China give it away for free? They give their versions away for free in hopes of collapsing our companies because you can't compete on free. And they'll give it away for free. So everybody builds their system on their spine and eventually I can't switch. Now it's like if you had an Apple first, you're not going galaxy. If you were on galaxy first, you're not going to Apple. That's what they're doing by giving it away for free. It's very smart. To the insider, I don't know what your name is saying good morning is Spam. I think there are some people, Sam Altman, I think is one of them who thinks he's building a God and he's godless and he's building a God and he wants to meet God and he doesn't care. In my opinion, his actions and his words show me that's more important for him to meet God than to protect the human race. Because he might think things are inevitable. I don't know. I do think that there are some players and I'm not saying Sam is one of them. I don't know him well enough to know. I think some of the actions of anthropic are evil, but I don't want to assign an evil. But I will tell you, evil will play A role in all of this because it's absolute control and power fall into the wrong hands. It's absolute control and power. And I am very well aware of that. I am also very well aware that our rights come from God and he is not neutral in the affairs of mankind. Tough times come as long as we understand God is the good God of the individual. He empowers each of us. And we don't fall into the collective of AI or socialists or one world religion, whatever it is. We do not fall into the collective. We understand the power and the, and the glory and the sanctity of the individual will weather a storm. But as I have also said before, without the gift of the Holy Spirit, without constant companionship of the Spirit and you listening and obeying, beginning right now, whatever you're doing in your life, that's wrong, stop it right now. Whatever you're telling yourself that is weakening you, that you're stupid, that you're not good, you're not, whatever, stop it right now. That's a lie. And you're building on that lie. There is forgiveness. There's a chance to start all over again. And you must do it now. Because look at this, look at this choice we have in front of us right now. There is no clear answer. We are, we've been here before. We really are at the point at Eisenhower with the, with nuclear weapons. It's inevitable. Everybody's going to have it. Who's going to control it? It has to be us. It has to be us. But I don't like that. I just had a conversation with the, an ambassador and I said to him last night, ambassador, how do you feel about AI? And we had a conversation on it. And I said, I got to tell you, I don't want China controlling it, but I don't trust our government to control it. And I also certainly don't trust these companies to control it. But one of those is going to, I don't know which, or it's going to be a combination of them, but I don't like that. But it's here. That's the kind of stuff that we have to wrestle with. And if you don't have the spirit to guide you, you will not find the path through. This is a camel through the eye of a needle. You are going to be threading this needle and it is going to get tougher and tougher for all of us. But you know, life is not a spectator sport. And we have been blessed enough to live in this country where it has been a spectator Sport for most of my life. But I will tell you this. The more strife that has come to my life, the more I have struggled. I hope this is true. Only God knows, but I hope this is true. The better man I have become. Because I know who I am. I know it's true. I know it's worth fighting for. I know what's worth standing up for. I know what's worth sitting down for. I know what's a game. And I know what matters. And that has all come because I've been pushed up against the wall. And our whole country and our world is going to be pushed up against the wall. Find the good out of it. Find the good out of it. And let's not tear each other apart, because I sense this insider is just as afraid as everybody else is. We're not enemies. We're not enemies. We're trying to figure it out. Let's try not to kill each other and figure it out together. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Wow. I don't know if you saw what happened in Ceuta, Spain, but it was pretty ugly. Pretty ugly. You don't know. Well, an island pop that has a population of 83,500 almost doubled 50, 49,000 people. Nobody could get an exact camp count, but they believe it was at least 49,000 people suddenly arrived on the shores of the. Why. What's going on? Well, invasion is one well coordinated invasion. And I'm going to explain it in 60 seconds. First, pain doesn't have to be excruciating to change your life. Excruciating is just the bonus. But it's almost nearly always persistent. That's. That's what always hurts when you reach for something. You know, the stiffness that makes you think twice before getting out of your chair or adapt to it. And after a. You don't even realize you're doing it. My hands were giving me such fits. I just accepted that's the way things were. Tanya said, why don't you try relief factor? I'm like, oh, it's, it's not going to work. It's all natural. I wasn't, I wasn't a fan of it. I didn't use it. I wasn't advertising for it. She had heard it on the radio. And I'm like, you don't buy stuff on the radio. And she's like, don't you? And I'm like, yeah, I know. Don't look for consistency here for me. I just don't want to take this stuff because I Don't think it's going to work. She said, well, I'm not gonna listen to you wine anymore if you don't try everything. And so I tried it, and my wife was right, it worked. And I'm really, actually thrilled because I got use of my hands again. I couldn't have done this six, seven years ago. My hands were so bad, I'd pick up a piece of chalk to go to the chalkboard. That's why a lot of our chalkboards were done way in advance, because I just couldn't do it. Relief factor took me out of pain. Try it, please, if you're in pain. It works for about 70% of the people. Some people. It doesn't work on some people. It just gives them, you know, some relief. I take any, but I got complete relief in my hands. Relief factor dot com. Call 800 for relief 800, the number four relief. Relief factor dot com. All right, so I want you to picture a piece of America sitting on the wrong side of the Mexican border, not near it. Across it, an American city full of American citizens with a fence around it. And every square foot outside of that fence is Mexico. That is a place called Ceuta. It's Spanish. It's been Spanish since there was a United States of America. And it sits on the coast of Morocco in Africa, which makes it the only place on earth where you can walk out of Africa and into the European Union. Let me say that again because that's really important. The only place on earth where you can walk out of Africa and directly into the European Union. Okay? Yesterday, thousands of people did exactly that. Some walked, most swam. I mean, this is insane. What it looked like they were coming in dump trucks. It was very well coordinated. And what a surprise, all 20 something men. No babies, no women, nothing. 20 something men. The shelter that was built there was built for 500 people. It was when this started holding 700, with hundreds more sleeping on the sidewalk. The facility for children who arrived with no parents is at 24 times the capacity. That's a school built for 100 kids with 2,400 inside. Nine people drown. Yesterday, bodies were washing up while people just kept coming. And Madrid's response, very effective. Send 60 soldiers. 60. That's two school buses. Now, everybody's gonna tell you that a court in Spain opened the door and almost everybody's gonna get it wrong here. So let me tell you what's. What really happened. Spain has a law that says if a man climbs a border fence, an officer can turn him right around, right there. On the spot. No paperwork, nothing. No trial, nothing. The law says this applies when somebody gets past a containment element, a fence, a wall, something physical. The law was written back in 2015, back when everybody was coming over the fence, and people figured then, hey, wait a minute. I don't have to go over the fence. I can swim around the end of the fence. So last night, last. Last month, Spain's Supreme Court ruled that a man in the water hasn't climbed anything because there's nothing out there to climb. This is insanity. Cameras and drones don't count. They can watch somebody, but they can't stop him. So a swimmer gets the whole process. You swim in, you get a lawyer, you get an interpreter, you get asylum, claims you're there for months. You're never leaving. Okay? It's a no trespassing sign on the front gate of the property with no back wall. Now, here's a part that I don't think anybody's reporting. The case got to the Supreme Court because the Spanish government appealed it. Now, I want you to understand, the Spanish government. Spanish government is socialist, okay? They were full fledged fascists for a long time. Um, and they're socialists now, okay? Their lawyers went to court to keep the fast turnarounds, and they lost. This wasn't a government winking at a friendly judge, apparently. This was a government beaten by its own courts and left standing there with a giant hole in the wall called, you know, the Mediterranean. Now, the court told them how to plug it right there in the ruling. Build something physical in the water. A wall in the water. Okay, Nobody built it then. Madrid refuses to declare a national emergency. Yesterday, the Prime Minister, the king or the prince or the. Whoever runs damn Spain. They're crazy anyway. Prime Minister. Yeah, who do you care? No, nobody cares. Okay? Anyway, he refused to call a. Declare a national emergency. The mayor was begging the government, please, please. And the government said. Madrid said, yeah, you know, the law is written for hurricanes and earthquakes, not for this. Okay, okay, it's true. But awfully convenient, because declaring an emergency means standing at a podium on live television and saying something out loud. We've lost control of our own border. So the court found a hole. It told the government how to close it. Nobody closed it. Conspiracy? I don't know. Don't. I don't think so. I don't follow Spain enough. You know, I just know they finished that big, beautiful cathedral and you're about to lose it to the Muslims again. Again, Spain. But anyway, this is just cowardice at the bare minimum. It's cowardice. Most common way free countries lose things is you become cowardly. You don't want to protect it anymore. It's not worth protecting. Okay? And we have been here before. I mean, that's, I think, the theme of the show. We've been here before, gang. But I mean, right here, this border, these two countries, we've been here exactly like this before. And it was the fall of 1975. Spain is dictated, their dictator Franco, dying in a hospital bed. Spain still owns a chunk of African desert about the size of Colorado. And the World Court has just ruled that Morocco has no claim on that. Okay, the World Court, Morocco. You don't own it. Spain owns it. Well, the king of Morocco watches the ruling come down, and he goes on television the same day and says, we're going to have a march, and I want a march. And it's going to be in three weeks. Three weeks later, 350,000 Moroccan civilians walk across the border into Spanish territory. Every man, woman and child in a city the size of New Orleans. And they walk across the border. They're unarmed. They're carrying flags and holy books and pictures of their king. And when I say holy books, you know what I mean? Not one rifle in the whole crowd. Now, the king had picked that number on purpose, 350,000, because that's the number of how many babies were born in Morocco every year. And the message to Madrid was, this is only one year of us. So Spain had soldiers on the line. Spain had told the world, you come across our sovereign territory and we'll shoot. Yeah, they're not shooting. They're not shooting. Nobody was armed. How could we possibly shoot? Three days later, Madrid announced it wouldn't fight for the territory. The king called all of the people home. They walked. They. They'd walked about six miles in five days. After that, Spain signed the size of Colorado away. Nine days, Colorado gone, not one shot fired. Because a European government found out it could not bring itself to open fire on a crowd of civilians. And the man on the other side had bet everything on exactly that. That's what happened. You had 49,000 people yesterday come across. What are they going to do? They're going to shoot them. You're going to shoot them. They know. Morocco knows. You're not going to shoot them. By the way, the king who ran that play is dead. His son is the one who's on the throne now in Morocco. And today, the day the water at Theuta filled with people was the anniversary of that son's coronation. Any of This a coincidence? This was an invasion. This was an invasion. Five years ago, Morocco pulled the same leverage. Waved its border police off the line and let 10,000 people through into Spain in two days because Spain had led a rebel leader Morocco considers a terrorist into a Spanish hospital. Everyone knew what it was. A veteran Spanish reporter who has covered Morocco for decades said flat out, yesterday, the Moroccan side is standing down again. So they're not stopping anybody from coming across the border. They're encouraging people to go across the border. And Spain isn't doing anything. This is a faucet. And Spain faucets have a handle, okay? And the hand on the handle has used it before on this country, your country. And they win every time. So the men in the water yesterday, not an army, or are they? Because they're all 20 something young Moroccans, all men. They say they just want a paycheck. Well, not in my country. Everybody else wants a paycheck, too. What? What the hell? What is going on? There's a trend spreading among them online where they post videos of themselves making the swim like a dare. They're not soldiers. They have no idea what they're being used for. I think I could be wrong. A crowd doesn't have to be in on it for a government to aim it. They're the weapons. They're the bullets. Now, there's an ideology out there that has named this specific ground, and it is not a rumor. Most Americans don't know that Spain was Muslim for nearly 800 years, and they called it Al Andulus or something. And here's what, here's what I didn't. I didn't know. You know when that rule ended? 1492. Same year Columbus sailed, same king and queen. Ferdinand and Isabella took the last Muslim city in January of that year. And then they signed Columbus's funding papers that spring. In the camp outside its walls, one empire ends, another begins. Same year, same monarchs. And every American kid learns half the story and none of the other half. And that loss never stops burning for a certain kind of radical that begins with an M or an I. That man who built the group became Al Qaeda, wrote a pamphlet in 1987 calling the retaking of Spain a religious obligation. Bin Laden picked it up and prayed for the flag to fly again over every lost Muslim land from Palestine to Andalus. And his successor spelled out the target list in 2006. Everything that was ever Muslim. Well, that's a large space, isn't it? The terrorist who blew up the Madrid train in 2004 and killed 193 people named their cell after it. This is all real and it's all on the record. This is not the same thing as, you know, the kids swimming, you know, the breakwater for a job, or so they say. But the second you glue those two together, people are going to dismiss it. But they shouldn't. It's more than a feeling. There are two growing things, and I don't think they're separate. This is an invasion. Last night, okay, the best study that we have when we're looking at this, says Europe was about 5% Muslim 10 years ago. If every border slammed shut tomorrow and nobody ever came again, which is not going to happen, it still rises to 7 and a half percent by 2050. Not from migration, just arithmetic. Notice what had happened in 1975. What did the king. Why did he pick the 350,000? Because that's the number of births in one year. At population is 13 years younger. They average more than one child per family. Keep normal legal immigration. And it's 11%. High end. 14. That study is 10 years old, they said. The authors said the high number was the least likely. And asylum claims across Europe are actually down 21% this year. Asylum claims, that's good. But look at the first line again, the one where nobody else ever comes. That line is still moving. Births. Europe is having 1.6 children per couple. I mean, you need two just to break even. Nobody is replacing Europeans. Europe has declined over and over in birth rate every year. It's not going to replace itself. And it did that all on its own. No border policy, you know, on earth will fix any of that. So here's what Spain needs to do. But they won't build the thing in the water. I don't know what it is. Oh, we're going to build an electric fence in the water. I don't know how you build it in the water, but build it, the court told him to in writing. Then rewrite the law so it covers a coastline, because the law drafted for a fence can't govern an ocean. And stop renting your border from a neighbor who has proven twice now he'll open it the minute he wants it and decide what it actually takes to become Spanish. Decide what it actually is required to become German or English or Danish or Italian or French or American. What does it require? Because it requires something in every other country, except, strangely, in the West. And it's not blood, it's not birthplace, the language, the law, the founding documents. One court, one law for everybody. No exceptions. No parallel systems. That's what it means. A country that can't say what it actually is, what it stands for and what it takes to become a citizen has no standing to ask anyone to join it. And a country who won't ask has already given its answer.
