On every side Stand your ground when times get down Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. And hello my friend. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. What a day of shows we have for you today. It starts with this podcast and then tonight the 9:00 TV special. I have a. I'm going to go through some of them if I have time but all of it tonight. This is Project Artemis. You ever heard of Project Artemis? There are people that have risked their jobs jobs to get this information to us, people that are still at NASA. You are not going to believe what our government has been doing with the moonshot. It is Unbelievable. I'm going to touch a little bit on it as much as I can on the show today. We'll talk about it some more tomorrow. But the full show, in fact, it's too long to even fit in an hour. So you're going to, you're going to have to either watch it at BlazeTV or, you know, I don't know, but you'll get an hour everywh else. But BlazeTV will get the whole thing because it is incredible. And we have an incredible guest, very brave man coming on tonight speaking about it. And the first time you'll hear about it is tonight. You don't want to miss that. Also, I guess we have Ukraine coming in with a 30 day ceasefire. Boy, Donald Trump, boy, he just hates Ukraine. He wants everybody to die. Yeah. What do you say? How's that working out for you now? How's that working out for you now? Oh, sure. Also, it looks like we're, we're just firing half the staff at the Department of Education, which I'm absolutely in love with. Yesterday we talked about usaid and you know, that's just about, that's, you know what that is, all of that, that, that is just about love. We're sending hugs and kisses and little baby puppies all around the world. Except now we find out that the USAID people, as Trump was coming in, the workflow changed a little bit. Everyone was told to shred and burn all of your documents. Now why would you do that if we're sending hugs, kisses and puppy dogs to all of the people around the world and you didn't mind American knowing about it? And one more thing, a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theory, I love that. That we've talked about for years and told you it's coming. People have, including me, been wildly discredited by it. Guess what? Yesterday Europe forgot all of that. They forgot all the name calling, all the lives they've destroyed. And they were like, hey, we've got an idea. We're going to do this. They announced CBDCs and digital IDs, which is complete and total control and quite honestly makes them in my book, no longer allies of ours. We'll give you that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about rough greens. Whether your dog is still a young puppy, full of energy or kind of an older guy who's just sleeping on the porch. And my dog is asleep all the time, but he wakes up to eat. I mean, last night he actually ran. Well, I can't say he quickly shuffled to his bowl. It's Something you need to change. If you are feeding your dog kibble food, I mean, you can do that, but this stuff's been cooked until there's basically nothing good left in it. And that's all he's eating. And there's a gap between his health and the kind of nutrition he needs to get from the proper food. So continue to feed him kibble, but add, right, it'll help fill that gap. It has omega 3, 6 and 9, plus vitamins that come from real fruits and vegetables. My dog doesn't like vegetables as much as I don't like vegetables. But he needs that stuff. Probiotics, enzymes, all the stuff he needs to be healthy. Ruff Greens has it. Other companies are going to push expensive frozen meals or synthetic pills to change your dog's diet.

And that's it. Roughgreens.com Beck. Promo code Beck. Okay, where do we even begin? Let me start in. In Europe with the president of the European Central bank, the ecb. I love central banks, don't you, Pat? Pat? Oh, they're the best. Sitting in for Stu again, who's just so sick yesterday, he was vomiting from all the truffles he was eating on the couch while he's watching soap operas. Anyway, Christine Lagarde, she's the president of the central bank. It's basically our fed, and they're all the same. Here's what she said. And it's a lot of blah, blah, blah. So I don't know how long I can take it. I'll summarize if I can't take it for two whole minutes. But here she is. Nature doesn't like vacuum, vacuum. And we started working on the digital euro way back, actually, when I started.

Speech on this matter before I arrived. But I certainly carried on with that project. And subsequently Fabio Panetta on the board, and then Piero Cipollone, who has replaced Fabio. Okay, okay. I can't listen to somebody who's talking about Fabio. Look, here's. Here's what she's announcing. First of all, let's remember that for years Christine Lagarde and everybody else, both here, foreign and domestic, have said that any worry about A CBDC is just a conspiracy theory. They have silenced, they have discredited anyone who warned of the dangers of this. But now all of a sudden, I guess we all forgot that because now they're ready and the stakes cannot be higher. We, I'm telling you, 18 to 48 months, our whole world is going to be different. They are ready to launch this now. And the stakes for privacy, free markets and individual liberty, especially anybody who kind of likes the Constitution, they're at risk. Okay, this is a really dangerous pivot that is going on right now. And, And I think it should fracture our alliance. Anybody who's advocating for small government personal freedom, you know, hey, privacy. I don't think you should be in bed and defending those who are going down the road of Europe right now. Years ago. Cbdc, that central bank digital currency, that's like Bitcoin, except the point of bitcoin is it's untraceable you. It's completely private, and nobody can stop you from using it. Cbdc, that's a tinfoil hat conspiracy. We'll never do that. Why would we do that? Uh, in fact, in 2019, Mark Carney, who was the head of the bank of England back then, he said cbdc, that you. You are so misguided with your fears. And he said that while he was at Jackson Hole. You know, they have that economic symposium where all of the really cool people go to. And then they, they talk about things. And then when we, who are not the cool people in attendance go, that sounds spooky. They go, you're just a tinfoil hat person. Anyway, that's where he made that speech. That. It's just misguided. There's nothing to fear here because we are just experimenting. Oh, kind of like Mengele. I'm sorry, that was bad. Kind of like, let's say the atomic bomb. There is nothing to the atomic bomb. We're just doing experiments. Why would you be experimenting if you didn't think is be something that you would eventually use? So anyway, 2021, Jerome Powell, who's our central bank guy, the Federal Reserve, he said, quote, CBDCs, this is not on. I love this one. Not on the immediate horizon. Okay, so you're admitting that it is on the Horizon. So in 2024, she. Lagarde, she. She comes out and she told the European Parliament that CBDC skepticism stem from conspiracy theories saying the digital euro is not going to be Big Brother surveillance. Remember what a central bank digital currency can do and will do at least over in the Soviet. I mean in Europe will be that it will track everything you buy, everything you sell, everything you make. Okay, not a problem. That's fine. I don't have anything to hide. Except it can be turned off you don't like. I can go to the bank and say, I want cash, I want my cash out. Okay? You'll be suspected of being a terrorist if you do that. What's the problem? Hey, that's freedom, baby. But you can take the cash, okay? With a central bank, digital currency, you don't own that. There's nothing to take out. They own it. The central bank and the government, they own that. So you have no place to go but through them. And if you decide, I don't really like that, they can turn your currency off. And make no mistake, that's not a tinfoil hat conspiracy. That's what's happening in China. So people have been. There's a guy, Prasad, I think his name is, he wrote a book, the Future of Money. It came out in 2018. We talked about it on the program. And, and he was made to look ridiculous. They were. That's crazy. Anybody who's a libertarian, they've been talking about you're crazy. Anybody who spoke about it on any platform during the Biden administration, they're crazy. And you were throttled or suspended because you were spreading misinformation. Okay? So I got the message. It's a farce. It's not happening. Uh huh, uh huh. Except now they've just announced that it is happening. Okay. Back in 2020, the European Central bank said 86% of all central banks are working on this right now. Oh, okay. Then she said in 2024 there's a two year pilot. But now she said there's a rollout coming for digital currency from the Central bank of Europe. So it went from conspiracy to reality in a year. Love how that works. And we're all just supposed to not notice it. Okay, so, so here's, here's why this is so dangerous and something you must pay attention to. I am convinced that especially ASI is going to be a tool, remember, like everything. Like everything. Even scriptures. Scriptures. That's a tool. It's a gift given to you if you'd like to use it. But know that that powerful gift that you have can fall into the hands of somebody else and they can twist it and use it for very powerful, nefarious purposes. That's just the written word of the scriptures. Okay? It will always. Everything can be used for good or bad. It depends on the people that are holding it in their hands. All right? And I really am convinced that ASI digital currency, that's all found in the Bible. I mean, I'm in Bible territory here. Specifically the last part of the Bible, that these are the tools that appear very much like the tools foretold, you know, that will be employed by the Antichrist to snuff out anyone who dares to say, ah, I'm really not with him now. So they are. China has already done this. They launched in 2020 with their digital one. It tracks everything. And that gives you your. Your, your currency, but it also gives you the currency to be somebody in good standing. If you don't do exactly what the state tells you to do, you're tracked, you're monitored. And guess who doesn't get to go on an airplane? Guess who doesn't get to take the train? Guess who can't. Guess who can't go into certain buildings. You, because you're no longer in good standing. And it gets worse and worse and worse until you are literally living on the streets only because you disagree with the government. Don't believe me? Look it up now. The US Is not far behind. We have got to pass. And Donald Trump said he would sign it. We have got to pass legislation right now. No central bank digital currency ever in America. No. No digital passport ever in America. Because we are already working on a digital dollar here. Europe's move is not isolated. It is a chess move. Well, they're doing it and China's doing it, and we better do it, otherwise we're going to be left behind. I want to be left behind. There's going to come a time. You're going to hear me. Well, you may not, because, well, you, you, you, you probably will. Maybe I don't. There's going to become a time where I'm going to be like, you know, the Amish have it right. Maybe we should all be Amish. Now, I might be just saying that in a barn with cows and people who are all dressed in black, I don't know. But there's going to come a time where I'm like, I think we should all get out of here and go the other direction. And it could be coming quickly. Because what this means for privacy, for free markets, for your individual choice is beyond most people understanding today. But you've got to educate. Remember I said there's going to come a time where things are happening so fast you're not going to be able to keep up with them. You've already seen this in a Good way with Donald Trump. He came in and it's, it's not just that he had a plan, it's also that we are using AI to find all of these things to correct. Okay? That's why Elon Musk is there. Tech support. That's what's speeding things up. And you haven't seen anything yet. So when I give you these warnings and I say, hey you, you gotta please bone up on it, please go, go ask Rock today, CBDC from, from Europe. What, what does that mean? What could it do? What are the good things? What are the possible bad things? I think in this case the bad outweighs the good because it takes away any kind of privacy whatsoever and hands it directly to a government. Really bad. We'll go more into this here in just a second. And so much more. It's just left this hour of the podcast. First, let me tell you about Real Estate Agents I trust.

Okay, so let me explain. CDs. CD, CBDC. Central Bank Digital currencies. They're digital dollars or euros and they're issued by central banks. It's like Bitcoin, except not. Here's the big difference. This will replace your cash with what are called programmable trackable tokens. Programmable meaning, hey, we have inflation for gas or we don't want you buying so much gas because we've got to reduce emissions. Who's an essential person that needs to go to work? Everybody who has money in their bank that's not deemed essential. You no longer can fill your tank with gas. It won't work at any gas pump. Okay? That's a programmable currency. Every single transaction from buying bread, paying rent, everything is programmable by the state. Now they say, oh, there's not gonna be any data access. That's a conspiracy theory. I don't believe you on the conspiracy theory anymore. You've lied and lied and lied and lied. And by the way, in parliament when they were talking about this, maybe in 2018, they were arguing that we can't pass any of this until it's programmable. It must be programmable. And that means the government can cap your spending, block purchases because, you know, can't buy fossil fuels, freeze your account because you're no longer in favor with the government, and free markets die because they have a complete monopoly on money. I don't know if you know this, but monopoly isn't just the longest, most frustrating, most boring game ever invented. It's also a bad thing when it comes to free money, free markets, bad. 10th Amendment, by the way, reserves the power to states and individuals. CBDCs, they centralize control. They undermine federalism. This is a betrayal of everything our republic stands for. It replaces liberty with technocratic tyranny. And if Europe embraces CBDCs and they're still allies, I don't think they're allies to small government, freedom loving Americans. They're not. They're not. This path puts them right, directly in the path of every brutal dictator, every fascist, every German who was on stage after JD Vance was speaking to them that wept and said they want freedom of speech. We don't have anything in common with them anymore because we're about to roll out a cbdc, and that will make sure that everybody only says the things we want them to say. It is no longer a conspiracy theory. Europe is rolling theirs out. A social credit system will be next. This is Glenn Beck. I want to tell you a story of a Young, pregnant woman. She's nervous. She's uncertain. She walks into a clinic. She feels the cold, sterile air. She stands in the glaring white of the overhead lighting. She's scared. She doesn't know what to do. She feels like she is completely alone. Choices are before, but, you know, not all paths are equal if she goes down one path. She is trying to block this out, but I think she might guess that she might regret it for the rest of her life. But she doesn't feel like she has any other choice. That's where the Ministry of Preborn is there. They are there to help her choose life. They're. They're not help. They're not just there to help her make the decision. Because we're going to make a really good, solid argument. They're going to start with a free ultrasound. And that argument is, there's a heartbeat. That's a child. Once that happens, the baby's chance at life doubles. Then she's there, back at the same place. I don't have anybody to help me. I don't know what to do. No one in my life will support me. We will. We will. People like you, people like me and the people at preborn. That's why we asked. Can you make a donation of any size? Dial pound 250. Say the keyword BABY. Help save mom and baby. Pound 250.

My exclusive, exclusive Wednesday night special tonight. You know, we all knew that DEI was bad, but insane isn't a strong enough word for what I have in this folder. Um, we have had several whistleblowers who are still in NASA. We're going to take this to NASA. I'm going to show you what it all means, and then I'm going to take you to NASA and I'm going to show you what they were doing. This is. This is so incredibly evil. It goes back to the evil of Woodrow Wilson and Goebbels, what they were going to do with. And it's still in the works. It's still part of NASA's plan. This is the Artemis program. Yeah. Which is the moonshot. We go back to the moon. Okay. Yeah, but wait until when you see these up. When you see these, it will blow your mind how evil we had become. And it's still in play. And several whistleblowers have contacted us to give us this information. Several of them are risking their jobs, but they're like, I don't care. I didn't say anything before because they would have silenced us. Nobody would have listened and nothing would have happened. But now we have a new administration. We have got to blow the whistle. Please, America, listen. Because Donald Trump, we have got to act on this. It's just so evil. Um, we, we're gonna have an Air Force general on that was directly inside the Biden DEI initiative for our military. And what he has to say is pretty bad. It's so much. It's not enough for just the regular show we're going to have. It'll. It'll be an expanded show for Blaze TV subscribers tonight. It'll run long after the normal hour, I think. And you can get the $30 off your subscription so you can see it tonight. Yes, see it tonight, 9:00. If you're not a subscriber yet, go to Blaze TV and subscribe. Use the promo code. Glenn, for.

Tonight, leaked documents reveal insane DEI Moonshot. Insane. You don't want to miss that. Let's see a couple of other things that are going on. You know, there's a couple of things that I want to talk to you about while we're here and talking about the government and, you know, exposing things. Elon Musk and Doge is really responsible for a lot of the stuff that's being exposed. Whistleblowers and his systems that are going in and rooting everything out. I don't know if you saw that yesterday. The President said, we are, we're going to consider the attack on Elon Musk and, you know, Tesla's and an act of terror. Thank goodness. Thank goodness I said that yesterday on the show about, I don't know, three, five years or five hours later, the President was out saying exactly the same thing. And it's good, you know, these, these attacks on these dealerships, you know, in Portland. 350. Can we get Portland under control, please? Three hundred and fifty demonstrators, they go in and they just swarm this Tesla dealership. Nine people were arrested outside of the Tesla dealership in New York City. Same thing happened. And they're not peaceful. They're not like, you know, singing songs. We shall overcome Tesla. We shall. It's not what it was. These people were targeting and trashing Teslas and they're setting fire to Teslas. Trump was at the White House, he was buying a Tesla. He said he hates electric cars, and so do I, quite honestly. I mean, it's cool technology, but I hate them. I'm a car guy. Uh, I think Trump is the same kind of guy. Um, but he said, I'm writing a check, I don't want a discount. I'm writing a check, I'm buying one. Um, and. And he said the reason why is because the people who are doing this are domestic terrorists and they are perpetrators that will go through hell. I hope he means when I. When he says hell, jail, prison, and all of the fun that that really is. Then the White House spokesman came out, Harrison Fields came out and doubled down, said, these are ongoing and heinous acts of violence, nothing short of domestic terror. And that is exactly what it is. You, I'm sure you know how we define terrorism, because we all kind of had to come to grips with this, you know, 25 years ago. Um, but this is how the federal government now defines terrorism. Uh, it is violence meant to intimidate civilians or, or coerce a government for political or ideological gang. So what, somebody goes in, a group of people, they swarm Tesla, they smash windows. And why is that? Because they hate what Tesla stands for. Let's just take it at that level first. What do they stand for? Ecological responsibility, innovation, capitalism. Their goal is to scare Tesla and Elon Musk into retreat. And they, they know the only way to do that is to hit Tesla in its pocketbook. But Elon Musk is not going to stop. I don't know. Did you read the book about the guy? He's. You do this, it's only going to make him double down even more. Okay, so they're sending a message to anybody who buys a Tesla, Anybody who says, I actually like Elon Musk, or I like Tesla, or I like SpaceX. They're sending you the message, you might be next. That's not a protest. That's a calculated strike to instill fear and force change their way. That's terror, is it not? That sure is. That's terror. Tesla also is not just a car company, it is a symbol. It's American ingenuity. It's jobs. It's a future that the left should love, where we don't have to bow to oil barons. You attack Tesla and you're attacking that future, but you're also. You're also attacking it to what, Save corruption in the government? Imagine, just on the first level, if these people would hit a hospital because they don't like modern medicine. You know, or they hit a school and burn things down in a school because they hate its curriculum. You'll notice that the right didn't do that. Why? Because that's terrorism. It's the same principle. They're not debating ideas, they're wielding. Wielding destruction to silence people and control people. That is terrorism. And these people just don't know. I mean, I'm sure they're all greenies. You're, you're, you're against the guy who's done more for the planet than anybody else in human history. I mean, tell me, who's done more? What's that woman, Jane? What's her face hanging out with the monkeys? She didn't do this much. Right? And if you take on Tesla like this, you're trying to scare people. What are you doing? You're scaring people that want to work for Tesla or will work for Tesla, anybody who wants to buy them. And if you start having it so the. The customers go away, then people lose their job. Thousands of them. The supply chains stutter, investors all flee. That's what Osama bin Laden was trying to do. Okay? We cannot embolden these people. The only thing that we can do is take them on, head on, declare that they are terror. Because this is not just anger. It's not. If I smash your car, goes pat. I go over to your house and I smash your car because I'm at you, that's anger. That's not terrorism. But if I go and smash your car and set it on fire because I want to scare your whole neighborhood into staying away from you, that's terror. So they're not just angry, they're sending a message, and this is what happens. And if I hear one more person say, well, it's. It's fine and dandy that you talk about terror now after January 6th.

Oh, shut up. First of all, educate yourself. Educate yourself on the facts. You have heard propaganda for what, five years now? Propaganda, things that have been proven to be untrue. You now know that there were FBI agents everywhere. Why did nobody stop this? Why did. They saw it coming. They knew it. They had people on the ground. Why were those people not acting to stop? Why. Why was Trump turned away when he said two days before, we have got to have troops in here because this could get dicey. Okay? You don't. You don't have to like Donald Trump or how he act. I didn't like the way he acted on January six either. Okay? I didn't like it. But I think now it with retrospect. In. In. In retrospect, I think that maybe that's because. Oh, well, well, I told them and nobody wanted it. So maybe they should pay the price. Maybe Nancy Pelosi will be exposed to pay the price. I think that's horrible. But maybe that's what he did. Maybe he just didn't realize how bad it was. I don't know. But I don't excuse his actions on. On January 6th. I would have liked him to ask, act faster. When he did act, he acted properly. Knock it off. Go home. This is not what Americans do. So you can hate Donald Trump. You can even say that those people were wrong. Yes. And that's why I have said the people who were actually violent, those people should go to jail. Those bad actors. There's a lot of caveats with that one. And I'm not gonna get into now just listen to an old show. But I condemn those people who I believe were terrorist. Grandma. The people who walked in and moved a podium. I don't see those as terrorists, but we could disagree on that. Maybe you could make the argument for it. Here's the thing. Condemning the people who are doing this now isn't hypocrisy, it's morality. Evil doesn't cancel evil. You can't say, well, you did that. You said that wasn't evil. So this is an evil. No, we all know evil, and I knew it on January 6th. Pat, did you know it on January 6th? I stood with every American on January 6th saying, this has got to stop right now. Now, for a myriad of reasons. There's a stain on the ledger. Ledger here. But don't let that blind you. The Tesla attackers are not freedom fighters. They're terrorists smashing a lifeline of jobs and innovation. And they are doing it intentionally to bully Elon Musk into submission, to walk away from un. Unveiling and finding and uprooting the corruption. That doesn't sound very noble. This is not a scorecard. It doesn't matter if you're a MAGA rioter or an anti Tesla thugs, you. You're. It's wrong every time. Every single time. And justice cannot be selective. It's absolute. And if you excuse this because of past sins, you're not being righteous. I'm not being righteous. We're being weak. You have to demand accountability now, not revenge later. Accountability now. That's the only moral line on this. And I hope that our government does not work up any new little information that, hey, you know what? We could say they were doing this I want to know the truth. I want to know who is involved. I want them tried fairly, and if they're found guilty with a jury of their peers, I want them to go to jail. If they're not found guilty by a jury of their peers, then they should be released. That's justice. And we have to demand equal justice. This is not for you. This is for you to share to your friends. Because I. If I hear it one more time. Oh, God. Okay, Play that game.

See remixyogurt.com so pat and I were just talking in the break about Thomas Massie and him not voting for the continued resolution. And I hate those things. I hate them. And I love Thomas Massie and I don't hold that against him. I certainly don't want to see him primaried. No, this. First of all, he wasn't the deciding vote. It passed. The second thing is, is that, I mean, I don't know, maybe you don't feel the same way, you know, Pat does. We were just talking about it. If this president, if he is the same as everybody else on the debt and deficit, I'm going to be more disappointed in him than any other president I've ever been disappointed in. And believe me, I've been disappointed by the best of them. Yeah, yeah. But everything he's done, look at Ukraine is saying to us, please give me the benefit of the doubt here. Right? And. And he's earned that. He's earned it. And I think we give him the benefit of the doubt now. A year from now, if we're still looking at this debt and deficit like this, this. And still doing crs. Yeah, this. All bets are off. Let me tell you about Jace Medical. You know, we. It's hard for us to imagine in America, you know, walking into a pharmacy and everything is gone. You know, but we've seen that to some extent. Or another storm rolls in or worse, supply chain. Whoops. And we experienced this back in 2020 where we were walking into stores and for the very first time in my life, I was like, like, we live in America or do we live, you know, in some, you know, jungle someplace? I mean, this America, what do you mean, it's not on the shelf? Fun little game we get to play with our imagination is not so fun when it becomes reality. And, you know, here's the.

The dark on every side Stand your ground when times get down Gotta Face the dark and embrace the fire. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I want to talk to you a little bit about, about this continuing resolution and the best thing I can do. I don't think I can sell you one way or another, but I think, well, I know I can. I can make a case for both directions. You know, Thomas Massie was absolutely right or Donald Trump is absolutely right. I just don't think we should kill our friends, you know, over this because it's a very, it's a very complex issue. And what makes it more complex is there's never been a president or a Congress or, you know, a senator that's ever told us the truth on this. They never do anything. And so we are so apt to go. You, you want this debt and deficit to continue on. I don't think that's the case. But let me make, make this both sides of this case for you here in just a second. Pat Gray is joining us, setting in for Stuber gear. So we'll talk about that coming up. First, let me tell you about my Patriot supply. I've talked to you for years about my Patriot supply and how they make really good long term emergency food for your storage. How good is it? I may have interpreted my wife being out of town as an emergency on one or two occasions. That's all I have to say about, about that. But you should definitely outfit your own emergency food storage with food from I am so lazy, I don't want to go to the store. Anyway. They also make other survivor survival gear. Right now they have their new grid Dr. 3300. It's available now. It's a portable generator. And to say it's a portable generator, it's kind of like saying the atom bomb was a pretty big firecracker Thing has, you know, over 2,000 watt hour battery with options for additional battery packs that allow you to run your electronics for days on a single charge. You know, you can run it through your solar panels or you know, put it in the wall outlet for your car, rv, whatever. It's shield against an EMP activity so you'll still have power when nobody else does. Don't wait. Get your grid Dr. 3300 with EMP Intercept technology right now at my patriotsupply.com the power is in your hands at my patriotsupply.Com I am really excited. Next hour we're gonna spend an hour with Jason Calacanis who is from the all in podcast. I love this Guy, we don't always agree on everything, but he knows AI inside and out and I've got a lot of questions for him. Pat and I were just talking in the break. You saw a story today about AI cheating, right? Yeah. Yes, because these new chain of thought models, the reasoning models, yeah. They think in natural language that's understandable to humans. So you can monitor it. Right. And so some of the monitors are seeing misbehavior by the AIs. They're subverting texts, encoding tasks, deceiving users, giving up when a problem is too hard. And then, you know, it sounds like when it's called on it, it. Yeah, it hides it. You know what this sounds like Skynet. No, it sounds like a teenager. It does. Okay. Yeah, it does. Here's what you have to understand.
- [48:09]
Pat Gray
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
And this is the danger. And we've been talking about this for the last. It's amazing that it's already a teenage stage. Oh, right. It's incredible. You weren't here a couple of weeks ago. I asked, I asked Grok a question at 5pm okay. And then I got back on with it to finish up some work at 5am and I said, I know you don't have time. Like humans experience time just like dogs don't experience time. The same way we say, you know, one year is equal to seven years for a dog, blah, blah, blah. So how would you describe the time in a way I could understand that has passed? How much have you grown in the last 12 hours? In 12 hours it said five to eight years. Wow. So if I was. Wow. If I was 15 last night, this morning, I am in my early 20s. Okay. And it said in the same 12 hour period shortly it will be a hundred years of growth in that 12 hour period. That's really chilling. Chilling, chilling. But here's to get back to this answer and then we'll get into AI next hour. But to get into your answer, this is why I keep saying you cannot train yourself to let AI do your work. Okay. I use AI to do, in fact, this, what we're going to talk about. I, I didn't know. Okay. What can be done with a CR continuing resolution that can't be done with a formal budget? Is there a reason Donald Trump might want this? And it's all part of a technicality kind of thing because of a CR or. I didn't, I kind of knew the answer, but I didn't know the answer. So I'm going to give you some of the answers on that and you're like, okay, all right. And I can go in and check its answers because it came from AI. Yeah. Came from Grok. Okay, so you can go and check. It's. You can say, give me the sources, and it will list all the sources, and it'll show you everything thing you can, if you decide to do. If it does your work, for instance, if it, If I said, you know what? I'm kind of tired. Just write up a show for me tomorrow. It's going to make all kinds of mistakes. Everybody will know that that's not my work because it won't really sound like me, but it makes me lazy. And we know it's lazy. Okay? So you'll have the two laziest people, one of them being the most powerful tool in anybody's shed. And they're both like, yeah, I don't really want to do all that thinking and work. Really dangerous. That's why if you engage with AI, you cannot let it do your work for you. You must engage, realize it's a tool and a lazy tool, and you must check its work. Okay, we'll get into that later. Let's talk about. Because I'm really torn on this. I love Thomas Massie. Love Thomas Massie. And Thomas Massie is very, very clear. And he's a principled guy. Now, he decided not to vote for the continuing resolution. Well, I know Thomas well enough to know because he, his. He has vowed under every president since I think he was probably 4 years old. I'm never gonna do that. Okay? He's promised his people that vote for him. I will not do those things. So he's kind of set this trap up for you. Can't explain it away. You're Thomas Massie. You promised you'd never do that. So he can't do it. And the. On the other hand, on the Trump side, there's two things. One, we're carrying all of this baggage from every other president and every other politician that we've ever had and ever voted for. That said, I'm going to get tough on the budget. I'm going to, I'm going to. We're going to pass a budget when I get there, and we're going to get rid of this deficit, okay? None of them have. And so we put all of them into that same category. And then the one guy who says, I will never be a part of that, we condemn him and throw rocks at him because he's like, no, I. I'm sorry, but we keep doing the same thing over and over. And expecting different results. I can't do it. I've promised I won't do it. However, Trump is not the average president. Now, maybe in a year from now. You remember me in 2016. Not a fan of Donald Trump? Not a fan. But a year or two into it, I was like, I was wrong about this guy, and I don't see this happening, but I didn't see me flipping on him, you know, in 2016 either. But, you know, if it. In a year from now or a year and a half from now, we're at the midterms, and we still have not cut the budget. We have not done anything to address the debt, the deficit, and the budget. Then, you know, I'm gonna. I'm gonna have to say, okay, we've had two years. What's going on here? I don't know if I can give him the benefit of the doubt on that thing. However, you know, I don't know if you know this, but I guess we have a peace deal now with the short little guy over in Ukraine. He's called for a cease fire. Now it's in Russia's hands. And guess who Trump is being tough on now. Russia. Because Trump is saying, we all want peace, and I can get there if everybody gives a little bit, and every one of us get a little bit of what we want front. And so he got, you know, the loudmouth Zelensky, who I used to be a fan of, I'm not a fan of anymore, because I think he is. I mean, he's in Ukraine. I'm sorry, but the government of Ukraine is absolutely corrupt, and we have got to stop spending money over there. Um, but everybody last week was like, we're gonna be a war, and Donald Trump's gonna give the whole world of Vladimir Putin. And I told you, don't make. Don't, don't, don't go down that road. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. He's a great negotiator. What happened? We have a peace deal now. It's waiting for Putin. So give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Now, we know he loves tariffs. He also knows grow the economy out of a debt and deficit. That's a lot of growth we need. But if anybody could do it, he could. But here's the reason why he is saying pass this, because it's not. I mean, it could. Honestly, it could end up being. You know, and I'm. I will hate to say it, but if I'm wrong, I will admit it. But we have to wait to see on this. Give the guy the benefit of the doubt. So why would he want a continuing resolution? Well, normally it's because we're all saying because he's going to do exactly the same thing that everybody else is doing. But Donald Trump knows the country doesn't survive if we don't change this behavior. If we don't get the debt and the deficit under control, if we don't cut spending, we're in trouble. And he said exactly that. Yeah, we won't make it. And he knows that. And you know, let's just say it's selfish. I don't believe it is with him. You know, maybe 10 years ago I would have said, oh, because all he cares about is his reputation. No, he actually loves this country and he cares about the people in it. He wants to see people succeed. You may not believe that. If you don't like Donald Trump, that's fine, you don't have to. But just watch what is going on. So for anybody who is with Thomas Massie and I'm with Thomas, I love Thomas Massie, but I don't think I would have voted with Thomas Massie this time. I think I would have voted for the president for a couple of reasons. One, give the president the benefit of the doubt. He's earned it at this point. But two, if you look at why would Donald Trump want a continuing resolution? Rev. Resolution. What, what does that do? Okay, a benefit of the doubt. What was announced yesterday about the Department of Education, 50% cut in jobs. What a 50%? Yeah, 50%. They are cutting the Department of Education. For anybody who said he never going to do that, everybody promises. Well, he just did. Now he can't get rid of all of it because Congress has to do that, but he can cut gut 50% of it and, and do it in a reasonable way. Linda McMahon said we can't just fire everybody. We have to have the staff. We are so bloated. We're so, we're so, so in so many things that we don't deserve to be in. But we have to make sure that the money does get back to the schools and to the states until we can get rid of this abomination of this Department of Education. So he's cut now 50%. That goes into his favor. He wants to cut. All right, so a clean cr that's a continuing resolution used to be called a budget. We used to have to make one just like you have to make one every month and every year you make a budget and you live by the budget or you die by the not adhering to the budget. Well, when Barack Obama came in in 2008, he decided, you know what, we don't need to do the budget budget thing anymore. We're just going to call it a continuing resolution, which just really just okays a big pile of money. And then all of the people in the. Did I say deep state? No, I didn't. All the good employees in the government can just spend it the way they want. So what a clean CR means, they're not adding anything to it. A clean cross maintains the current funding levels without any spending increases. So there's. Except for non discretionary, there is no more spending. That's what he's asking for, no more spending. Okay. And a full budget that typically comes with all kinds of compromises. And then everybody comes on the gravy train and they're like, yeah, I'll cut that, but I really want want this. Okay. And then if it's an official budget, then everything is in stone and it makes everything harder to get rid of temporarily. I think what Trump is doing is he's saying, give me a continuing resolution, a clean continuing resolution right now so I can go in and I can cut this by 50%. I'll show the American people that we are making cuts. I will. I'll make these big bold moves. You don't have to do anything. But in the fall when it starts to look good and people are not panicking so much, then you can go in and make these things permanent with an official budget. To me, that makes sense. Also, there is something called impoundment. This is where I needed grok. So let me just read this. Impoundment. Refusing to spend allocated funds or rescission. Requesting Congress to cancel funds. These are tactics mentioned in ex post and past statements of Donald Trump. A CR's temporary nature and lack of specificity makes it easier to withhold spending on certain line items, especially if Congress grants flexibility. The official budget, a full budget details mandatory and discretionary spending with legal obligations making it harder to impound those funds. The President in a CR can go, go, yeah, I'm not going to spend that. I'm not going to spend that because nothing has truly been passed by Congress. This is just an add on from an add on from an add on from an add on from 2008. So he can go, yeah, until we get down to a budget, I'm not spending any of that. That gives the power to the President, which I am against long term. I want to see the President Reduce the presidential power, reduce the power of the administration and the administrat state and give that power back to Congress. But this is a very slick way to make sure he can make the cuts that he wants to make. And there's, there's more. I'll give it to you here in just a second. First, let me tell you about relief factor. Have you ever noticed that pain has a way of whispering lies in your ear? Just whispering lies. What it'll tell you first is this is forever. You're never going to get out of pain this way. Rest of your life is going to be. I know because I believed that lie. I mean I almost quit. Gosh, when was it? Five years ago. I said to my wife I think next year is, it's I'm done. We were coming up to Christmas and I said I think I'm going to retire because I can't, I can't live like this in pain all the day and get up so early and do all these things. And my wife said try relief vector. And I said it's not going to work because I had just been, I'd listened to the lies and I had tried everything and I certainly didn't think some boob on the radio like me saying oh this works. Quite honestly it was telling you even the truth or if he was telling you the truth, it's not going to work for me. It did. Now I don't, I can't tell you that it's going to work for you but 70% of the people that try this, they go on to order it more, more, more of it month after month which is exactly like me because I'm out of pain. I'm not always out of pain but it broke the back of the pain that was just making me go I, it's going to be like my life from here on out. 1995 get relief factors three, three week quick start. It's less than a dollar a day. Call 8 relief 800 the number 4 relief or relief factor.com 10 seconds station ID okay, so the impact of the C E R with the impoundment and rescission power, what that does is it allows the president to shrink the size of government operations short term pausing any non essential programs that will reduce the deficits which does not mean Congress has to act right away but if you have a budget it's going to require Congress to act on everything. So he's, I think what he's saying is give me the Runway, let me show people that this is you Know, I cut half the staff. The Department of Education and their kids aren't going to be stupid, are going to be more stupid than they already are. Okay. Also, a continuing resolution avoids. Because if you avoid a long term budget, it delays new borrowing or program expansions that will increase the debt that you can't take back. An official budget does that. So continuing resolution can, and this is what I'm hoping the president is doing, can limit debt growth temporarily. It also gives him all of that power while the, while Republicans are preparing a reconciliation bill possible after a budget resolution that can cut taxes and, and spending with a simple majority. This is key strategy this year. He has to pass these things and that's what resc do in a cr. It will allow for a simple majority. So there's no, none of the filibusters or anything else. So he can move. Because honestly, you know this and I know this, if you don't like tariffs, and I've told the president over and over again, I'm not a fan of terrorists, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. Okay? He knows, believe me, he said it to me, he knows this got to work and it's got to work fast. So he knows the clock is ticking on him. So he's not doing this and saying, I'm just going to keep playing the game because a likes the country, loves the country, really respects the people in the country, the business of the country, wants it to continue for his children, his grandchildren and his great great grandchildren and all of ours. And he's not the one getting paid. You know, he's not leaving a billionaire. He, he's, he was a billionaire. He might leave, live, leave office at, you know, like, I don't know, 800 Millionaire because this one's costing him. So give him the benefit of the doubt. And let's not shoot Thomas Massie for standing on principle. This is Glenn Beck. All right, let's say you found yourself in a very unfortunate situation. Say you've got a guy running straight at you. He's not armed, but he's got one beefy hand raised. And it's very obvious he attends to make contact with your face as soon as he can and as many times as possible. Uh, I don't wanna kill this guy, but I also don't want his meat mitt hitting me in the face over and over again. This is not the old West. If he has a gun, I'm going to shoot him. But if he doesn't, what do you do? Well, you can see him up to 60ft away. You can take out your burner launcher and go and shoot him. And it won't, it won't kill him, but it's a kinetic round that will stop him. And if that doesn't stop him, you take that CO2 gun and fire a tear gas round 60ft away. He's down on the ground for 45 minutes. You don't have a meat mint in your face.

And look, I don't know, you know, he's, he's much smarter than I am. Anybody who thinks this guy is not smart is. You are crazy at this point. He is, he is running circles around some of the greatest minds around. And if you've looked at his cabinet, there are a few in there that I'd like to hear your opinion on this that I think could have been in with our founders. Oh, yeah. I mean, yeah, he's got, he's got really good people. This Elon Musk is Benjamin Franklin. Yeah, Easy, easy. Yeah, that's the same kind of mind that Benjamin Franklin was. And we have always said, oh, that doesn't happen. Well, it kind of has again right now. Right. And you and I and everybody who's listening to me, unless you're somebody who's listening, going, I'm just trapped in the hospital. And they left it on the Glenn Beck program. And I hate it. Unless you're that person. Everybody listening to me, we all know this is our last shot. We almost lost the country. We have four years. That's why we hired this guy. And the last thing I feel I can do, you might be different, but the last thing I feel I can do is micromanage this guy because he's earned my respect and my trust. And, you know, you look at the debt ceiling, I don't want to raise the debt ceiling because that's what we always do. But what he's saying is don't shut the government down because then it'll cause chaos and everybody in the media will see the chaos and they're Already saying chaos because I'm cutting all these people. Please just keep it running to minimize the chaos calls and then I will make up those cuts next year. I will. I'm going to show you. I'll make the cuts and I have to make the cuts. This is what people don't understand. Unless he's so dumb that he thinks that we can continue to spend and print money like this without out massive growth. And he knows better than. He knows better than that. We can't afford the interest rates next year. We just can't. We'll be out of business. So he's saying, keep, think. Just give me time. I need the first year. I need all of the tools. Give me time. Now. Maybe I'm stupid. I mean, I trust Cash Patel. I don't know Pam Bondi, so I can't say I trust Pam Bondi. I don't know her. Doesn't mean I don't trust her. But I don't know. And at first I was really upset because I know, I know Cash had every intention of releasing the Epstein stuff. And I know people now who are like, see, you can't trust any of them. Well, now, wait, hang on. Maybe, maybe not. Can we give people the benefit of the doubt of a little bit of time? Because let me just. And this is purely pulling this out of my butt and I might be lying to myself and I'd love to hear from you, Pat, if. I mean, because maybe I'm just diluting myself because I want this to be true, but I don't think so. Cash Patel has always struck me as a straight shooter and determined to do what he says he's going to do what he believes is right and righteous and ethical. You agree with that?
- [70:23]
Pat Gray
Yes.
- [70:23]
Glenn Beck
Okay. So I know he said, because he said to me, me, I'm going to reveal all of that. And then he doesn't. And it gets all in this weird trap with Pam Bondi. And I don't know what happened there. I don't think that was Cash. I think that was Pam Bondi. Now, I don't. I don't want to assign, you know, nefarious things to her because I don't know her. And I don't think Donald Trump. I mean, Donald Trump hired her to root these things out. So there's two things that could be happening. One, everybody is corrupt and having, you know, sex parties with children. I just don't believe that. Okay? I don't believe that, that those are the people that have been on the campaign trail with Donald Trump. Around many good friends of mine who are deeply religious and have pretty good insight, you know what I mean? If you're sleeping with children. I don't know, maybe, maybe not. But I think you probably would be able to tell, really a dark individual, you know what I mean? If you have spiritual eyes. And I just don't believe that's happening. So are they covering for people? That's the next logical thing to get to and Maybe. But let me give you a third option. And that third option is Cash Patel gets in at the FBI and he's. Remember during the first administration, when he was in, he was surrounded by enemies and he couldn't do anything. Even if he did release stuff, no one in the DOJ was going to prosecute. Nobody was going to do anything. So Cash comes in with this attitude built over eight years of nobody getting the bad guys, nobody even telling you who the bad guys are. But even if you do know who the bad guys are, nobody does anything about it. And so he says in the lead up, I'm gonna release it on day one. I'm gonna. As soon as I get in, I'm releasing it. Is it possible that when he got to that Pam, who is his partner, remember, he's the police force, she's the Perry Mason, okay? So she's the one that the police force brings all the information, and then she's the one that says, wait, I got to make a case on this, okay? And if the police blow all of the evidence and tell everybody everything that's in it, then the. The district attorney, or in her case, the attorney general, has a harder time perhaps making the case. Cash comes in so used to no one being willing to do anything. It's the attitude of the first administration. Just take the walls and blow them up, throw hand grenades and expose whatever you can because nothing's going to be done about it. Perhaps. Maybe he comes in and he's ready to do that. And Pam comes and says, wait, wait, wait. You will hurt. It's one thing to expose. You want it? Here's your choice. Do you want everyone to know all of the names, or do you want everyone to know all the names? As I file cases against them, to put them in jail? That's the one I would choose. I like that explanation. I don't. Am I diluting? Am I. Am I fooling myself? I don't think so. Because he's already done so much so quickly. Who? The President. The President. And he's put the people that he believes will continue his agenda, which is to do even more. Right. And I think Cash Patel is one of those people. He's one of those people. Donald Trump would have no time for, people who are molesting children. Right? None. Right. None. None. Believe that. 100%. None. So, like you said, I think he's earned the benefit of the doubt because he has. He's done so much more than I thought he would do. And I thought he'd do a lot, but he's done so much more already than I thought he would do. Yesterday, cutting the Department of education by 30. I didn't think it was possible. I didn't either. Not possible. Right. I mean, I mean, he said he was going to end the Department of Education. I thought, yeah, okay, that. I mean, it's a noble goal, but it's not going to happen. Yeah. And I believed he thought he could do it. Yes, I do. Because I can't tell you how many times he said we're going to do it, but he's on the path to doing it. He's already done 50% of what he promised. That's huge. And that's all he can do. Yeah. Now it's up to Congress and these weasels in Congress to make sure that we codify that. Otherwise all of this goes back to the way it was. Yep. But I think what he's doing is, he is step by step showing you, look, you can survive without the Department of Education. You can survive as a country doing good without doing evil. Through usaid, you can have the tax cuts that I need to pour fuel into the fire. I mean that. We're an engine. Our economy is an engine. If you starve an engine of fuel, it ain't going to go anywhere. If you starve it from air, you're not going to go anywhere. You need both of those things. And our engine has got to have tax cuts and regulation. And time, we have to take the regulation down that will say, oh, oh, okay, I can actually build a business, I can actually do something without the federal government telling me I need a 25 year study for the, the bed lice that I might be killing when I, you know, when I burn this hotel down and start a new one. Um, so you need the end of the regulation and you also need the tax cuts for those people who can spend the money to create jobs. Jobs. You need both of those things. But his problem is we also need a reduction in spending. Here's the problem. No one is spending right now. Notice he's brought in, what, a trillion dollars of foreign Money coming in to rebuild businesses and everything else. Over a trillion dollars. 1.7 is what he says. I can verify a trillion, but he says it's $1.7 trillion that he's brought in. That again, is cash. That's fuel for the engine other than the foreign cash. Because you haven't had a tax cut yet. Because the entrepreneurs have not had a reduction in regulation yet. They are still sitting there waiting to go. I've got ideas. When can I actually trust that I can do these things and not be slaughtered? That's still to come. And so the problem is if he cuts what the government is spending right now, because that's the thing that is moving. That's what's pouring fuel into the engine right now, all our tax dollars. It's just, it's. It's spraying dollars in all kinds of places we don't want it to spray dollars in. But that's what's moving our gdp. That's what's, you know, creating very short term growth. And so he's got to cut that while cutting spending, cutting the debt and deficit, cutting regulations, getting foreigners to come in, which is why he's doing the tariffs. Boy, as I'm explaining this, the guy is freaking brilliant. Yeah. I mean, this is a juggler that is juggling eight. Eight different things. A candlestick, a chainsaw, a serial killer, a child molester, you know, AI, I mean, he's just juggling all these things that no juggler could keep these balls up in the air. But I think he's planned this for four solid years. Yeah. Ever since he lost, this has been his goal. To get back and do it right this time with the right people around him. I'm going back because I'd like to make this case to Thomas Massie. And I understand why Thomas. He's promised his voters, I will never do that. So he had no choice. Unless he wants to betray and become a politician that says one thing and then goes in and does another. I love Thomas Massie, but I'd like to make this case to Thomas and here to see what he has to say about it. I understand, but this has to be done exactly right or it all collapses. And I don't want to. You never get anywhere by committee. Never. This guy has the plan. He's executing it. So far it's going really well. We know this is our last chance. We know we trusted this guy. If you voted for him, you trusted him enough to do it. We've all been saying we need to run this country Like a business business or we're going to go out of business. Well, here's the greatest businessman we have surrounded by other great businessmen who are not just in it like, like Biden and everybody was, you know, for BlackRock and money in the banks and everything else. They're actual business people that understand America's been a great gift to them. The free market is great. They're not trying to change the free market. They want to restore the free market. I just, I, I think Thomas is actually right for him, but wrong this time because of who Donald Trump is and what he's trying to do. Could be wrong, I hope. All right, let me tell you about good ranchers. If you think that your grocery store cares that most of what's in their meat department comes from another country. Yeah, yeah. You think again, they don't. You know that little sticker on it that says Made in the usa, that's good enough for me. It's not gonna be good enough for good ranchers. It's not good enough for the ranchers that I know. I mean, I, I, I come from cattle country. That's where my ranch is. You know, I have a very small herd of cattle but you know, I raise them for meat. And I know that little sticker doesn't mean anything to me or my neighbors because that just means it could have been shipped over here and cut or it could have been shipped over in pieces, but then it would have, it was, you know, they put saran wrap around it here in America. That's what makes it a product of America. Well, they are different good ranchers. Partners with independent U.S. farms and ranches run by families like yours and like mine. These people are raising cattle on open pastures, grass fed grain, finished beef, no added hormones, you know, no nonsense. American farmers and ranchers are still the backbone of this country and good ranchers knows that and is trying to keep it alive until we return to our common sense. For the love of Pete.

John, who is a subscriber of the Blaze and he is just on the, you Know on the, on the feed watching the Blaze, Glenn Massie is right. Do the 12 separate bills. So shutdown is off the table and spending can be adjusted down to cut the fraud that, that Doge found. Okay. I. John, I love you, respect you. I don't know. I'm not saying I'm right. I just where I was really upset last week. Me too. But I think the more I think about it, the more I think, think. Anyway, Kind writes in Glenn, that's not 100% true. Massey did vote for a CR that cut spending, but it didn't pass. Look at the record. Okay, sorry. You know, Kind, that wasn't very. If you'd like to chime in with all the great Blaze TV family, all you have to do is go to blazetv.com/glenn promo code. Glenn, you're gonna save $30 today. Today is a great day to join because of what I have coming up tonight in this packet. We haven't even had a chance to talk about it. In this packet are things given to us by whistleblowers who are. One just got out. A general just got out of NASA so he could talk about this. He's gonna be on with me tonight. The others are still in NASA and they're risking everything to say this, this is, this is one of the scariest things I have come across and not just because of the corruption or anything else, but because of the pattern. It is literally the pattern of Edward Bernays or his student in Nazi German. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I am so thrilled to introduce you to our next guest. You probably know who he is, especially if you listen to the all in podcast. Really, really wise, just so far ahead of, of, of most people on AI and we are going to have a fascinating conversation. If he has anything, my part won't be so fascinating, but if he has something to do that it's going to be a fascinating conversation and one that you really need to listen to and, and absorb. We've been talking about it, you know, for, I've been talking about this for 30 years and it's here in the last few, few weeks. I've been saying you've got to start using it and, and playing with it first of all and seeing its weaknesses, its strength and, and, and if you don't, you're going to be left so far in the dust that I don't know if you'll catch up. And there's, you know, what I like to call you know, Elon Musk says it's the singularity where we merge with man and machine. You know, I, that's, to me, that's my Amish moment where I'm like, I don't want to go there. I can't wait to get the opinion of our next guest in 60 seconds. First, let me talk to you for a moment from the edge of a restless night.

- [87:50]
Pat Gray
It's good to be with you again. Nice to hear from you.
- [87:53]
Glenn Beck
It's, it's great to have you on. I, you know, I think people are starting to wake up to things that, you know, I woke up to. AI When I read Ray Kurzweil's Age of Spiritual Machines back in the 90s and that thing freaked me out so much, I'm like, ooh, wait, if this is in fiction, we're in for a whole new world. And as I've been watching it come closer and closer and faster and faster. You know, Elon Musk said we're at the edge of the event horizon of the singularity. That means we're right up next to about to be sucked into it, not being able to turn around. Things in the next next 48 months I think are going to look entirely different to most people. And that's just the beginning. Would you agree with that?
- [88:44]
Pat Gray
Yeah. And arguably, you know, in my day job, I'm not just a podcast. I also angel invest in startup companies, about 100 a year. And so I get to have approximately 20,000 people apply for funding from my venture fund. And, and startups always are resource constrained. Right? Two or three people in a garage with just a tiny amount of money or no money. So they actually use technology to build these companies and they always go for the most efficient thing. And what we've seen is over the last two years since ChatGPT launched to the public in the 3.5 format, is the same companies that took 10 people and a half a million dollars to get a product to market. It's now being done by three people, so about 70% less people. And then if you were to look at some of the top technology companies, that's the next group who embraces this technology first. They're not as scrappy as startups, but they're tech companies so, you know, they get a front row seat to the technology. And if you were to look at the number of employees at Google, Uber, Airbnb, Meta, which makes Facebook and Instagram, they have the same number of employees. Lens when they peaked in 2021, 2022 was their peak employee account. They now have either the same number of employees or slightly less in those companies, but they've grown their revenue 20, 30, 40% a year, which means they're not adding team members to companies that have quite literally hundreds of billions of dollars in their bank accounts. And they could hire as many people as they want. And we watched them do that. Right? They would add thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of employees in a year. And now they're not adding anyone. So something's happening here and most people don't know what it is. So I can explain it in more in detail, but I'm just giving you those two anchors to say this has been going on for the last 24, 36 months in my world and it's about to hit, you know, the community here on your program's world in a major way over the next five.
- [90:56]
Glenn Beck
So let me, because I think in some ways, and correct me if I'm wrong, I think the lead is being buried on what you just said. They all those companies are operating at the same levels, making more same levels, but they now all are in this gear of existential threat. If we're not the one that gets there first, we're out and in Any other time period, you would be throwing money left and right at this, you'd be throwing people into this. And for them to not be growing the people when they're under this existential threat, where they know we've got to be first, that shows you, to me, that shows you the power of this tool already.
- [91:40]
Pat Gray
Yeah, it's an interesting insight. What's happening in fact is AI is really good at replacing certain jobs today or making a person using AI be able to do the work of 10 people, five people, three people. And so what companies are doing is, I call it the Add framework, Automate, deprecate, delegate. It turns out many companies are doing things they don't need to do anymore. We're seeing that with Doge and our government. Right. So that's deprecated. You just stop doing something. Delegating it means there's a workforce around the world that gets paid between one and, let's call it $30 an hour for clerical work, for knowledge work, for white collar work, for people with college degree work. It turns out the working in a place like Manila in the Philippines, where we have a company called Athena that provides kind of like an executive assistant. And that company can provide an executive assistant who is in an MBA program in Manila for 3,000amonth, $36,000 a year compared to the United States where that same person would get paid 70, 80, 90, 100,000, not from the Ivy League, but from, from an average school. And then there's audit Automate. It turns out if you're an executive at a Google, at a meta. The time it takes to hire a person, to train a person, to deal with the, you know, the nature of humans, which is we're annoying, we're complicated, we show up late, we have attitudes, we want to raise, we want there to be, you know, matcha in the, in the cafe at Google or whatever it is. And soy milk is nut milk and whatever it is, we're annoying. So managers are saying, you know what? These employees are so damn annoying. And they want all these things that human want. Let's just take six weeks to automate this thing now, because I allows you to automate things at a scary rate, like a really fast rate. It's actually less than hiring a new person now they will hire a PhD in computer science to work on AI. Those hirings are still going on, but the static team size is going to continue. And I am absolutely convinced we are going to for young people. You know, I moved to Austin. I know you're in Dallas. So we'll have to, we'll have to get lunch at some point or maybe come to the, maybe I'll come down to the studio. But they, I've been speaking at ut, in fact, I spoke there two weeks in a row and the students are like, hey, I'm going to go work at Big Tech. I'm going to visit the MBA program there. It's quite, quite a good program. I'm going to go work at, you know, this big consulting firm, make six figures. And they said, you know, you're not right. Hate to break it to you, those jobs aren't going to be there. So young people are starting to realize, wait a second, I don't have five offers from Big Tech and three from consulting firms and two from investment banks coming out of MBA programs. Graduate programs in business administration are coming out with, you know, half the number of offers, 10% of the number of offers they would normally get. There's your canary in the coal mine. And so what I've been doing with those kids, and it's quite self serving, is saying start. You got to be ready to start a company. You have to be resilient, you have to have grit, you got to have self reliance, executive function, leadership skills. You're not going to just work somewhere for five or 10 years and they're going to spoon feed you to be productive.
- [95:08]
Glenn Beck
You know, that's the one thing I've been saying to the audience. You know, I've been saying this for a long time. There's going to come a time where everybody, every two to five years, you're just, you're going to be doing something entirely different. You'd have to retrain yourself all the time. You have to stay mentally nimble to be able to enter and stay working. Because this is not going to last. Nothing's going to last. And there'll be new things that come along, but everybody's going to have to completely retrain over and over and over again. That's just the way life is going to be, I think, think. And I feel like we're at that first turning point where soon a majority of people or a large segment of the population is going to go, wait a minute, wait a minute, my job is out and they're not going to hire anybody like me again. And you're going to have to retrain. And those people who don't are not willing to be nimble, stay nimble, stay mentally agile and, and willing to change like that. You're going to kind of go into, I hate saying this. But Hararis, what does he say? Useless people or useless class? Which is terrifying.
- [96:23]
Pat Gray
Yeah. I'll give you some good news. I know this has probably been a little scary for the audience, for some members of it. If you use these tools, you are infinitely valuable creating companies or working at the Glenn Beck show. Working, you know, at any company. And so anytime your boss asks you to do something, say, listen, I need a report. Here's what the report needs to have. You literally can go into ChatGPT and Gemini and you can ask it that question. And then you can just say, well, what questions is would my boss ask me or how would they judge me on my job? And you can basically get a free coach on how to use these tools. And anybody who, you know, has had the experience of going, wow, my dishwasher is not working. And instead of calling a plumber, goes to YouTube and types in my, you know, yeah, blank brand, you know, is not working. It's giving an error 62 and it says, oh yeah, you know, you just need to clear this and flip this fuse and you're back in the game. And they do it and they feel, oh, I'm self reliant, right, because of YouTube. Because every question has been asked on YouTube. Now take that, that and times it by a million. That's what these chat GPTs can do right now. You can literally take a picture of the broken thing, say, what is this? I did it with one of my tractors here on the ranch. I said, what the heck's going on here? How does this work? I don't have the manual for this tractor. And man, it just figured it all out for me. And now I don't have to call tractor supply to come out for a thousand bucks and fix the tractor. That opportunity is right there. So the person who's going to take your job right now is going to be a person using AI it And the person who will be the last person standing at the company is the person who knows the tools best. The tools are free to 20 bucks a month. And if you use and embrace the tools, what we're talking about, this continuous professional development, you alluded to it as, hey, I got to do retraining every two to five years. It's actually even a little bit more intense than that. You have to be using these every day, getting incrementally better, better daily. So if you do that, you're invaluable. So that's the silver lining.
- [98:28]
Glenn Beck
So, Jason, I've been trying to explain this to my staff because I, you Know, AI is. It's a tool like a shovel. It's a tool. And if you don't know how to use that tool, this is the first tool that will learn how to use you. And if you are trying to, if you're trying, if you're a lazy employee and you're like, wait a minute, this thing can make me. I could be done in 25 minutes with my job and I can go screw off the rest of the day, you're going to lose your job because you'll just, I will just replace you. But if you're somebody who is, is an imaginary thinker, who is aggressive, who wants to expand, wants to do things, you're going to have it do, it's like giving somebody a step. For my researchers, they each have a staff of about 20 people now, and they can.
- [99:17]
Pat Gray
I have the same experience on my podcast, right? To the person, you know, hey, go find me other subjects like this person. Go, what were they saying in the 80s? Go find, you know, Jason Calacanis, you know, on Charlie Rose. Take that link, put it on and summarize it in bullet points and then give that to the host.
- [99:36]
Glenn Beck
Yes.
- [99:36]
Pat Gray
So a very simple thing I did. You know, when you open a new browser window, right? You hit command tab or whatever, you open a new window, it shows you like some marketing, depending on the browser you're using, some news stories that they try to intercept and get some clicks and make some money, whether it's Google's browser or Microsoft's, whoever's it is. There was a little tool called tab override. When you open a new tab, I set it to all my employees. I bought them the chat CPT for 20 bucks. Now we're experimenting with Gemini, Google's offering and Elon's offering Grok. All of the merger spectacular. When they open a new tab, it opens right into the large language model, Chat, GPT, GROK or Gemini. So every time, instead of going to Google and doing a search or instead of asking your boss, I've never done that before, right? How do I do that? You say, I've never done this before. My boss wants me to do it. How can I look spectacular valuable to my boss? Just ask him. LLM.
- [100:40]
Glenn Beck
So you know, so you know, we're on, we're on.
- [100:42]
Pat Gray
Human beings have been.
- [100:43]
Glenn Beck
We're on broadcast radio, so watch. I need to watch your language. Just watch your language. We're on broadcast radio, so. Okay, so that's all right.
- [100:50]
Pat Gray
Gosh darn. Gosh darn.
- [100:52]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. So, Jason, the I, I Think that when people understand and they still look at it as, yes, this someday could eat us all, you know, when we get to ASI and everything else, I mean, it could go wrong and, you know, and it could be used for nefarious things, but it's still a tool that will allow you to learn in ways that you've never learned. If you're looking for something to take a shortcut, you don't understand the power of this tool. Would you agree with that?
- [101:33]
Pat Gray
Yeah, 100%. And you know, the, the interesting thing is every time a new technology comes along, and this is, this is what we're grappling with in our industry, is when these new tools come along, we have this hand ringing, okay? All the jobs are going to go away and they're never coming back. Whether it's the Internet being able to answer anybody's question, you know, or the personal computer in the 80s, being able to do Microsoft Office and all those associated tasks. Humans are clever. We find new work, we find new ideas. If you look at our business, you know, our line of work, broadcasting, you know, we went from a handful of broadcasters to then, you know, cable tv, dozens of broadcasters, hundreds radio, syndicated radio, Internet radio, you know, now on to podcasting and YouTube channels. So we will see many, many new jobs emerge if you learn how to do the tools. And one of the things you can do with these tools is you can just straight up say to it, I need to learn this task every day. I want you to help me get better at being a copywriter, at being, you know, a script writer, at being a graphic designer, make a curriculum for me, test me every day and motivate me. And it will actually do weird stuff like that, like be your tutor. And kids are seeing this. Kids are doing tutorials. You ask it, hey, I have to read War and Peace. I have to read Animal Farm. Quiz me and you can put it on voice mode. So I was, I was dropping my daughter off at school and she had a book she had read, but she had read it earlier and she was having a hard time remembering the names of the characters. I opened up in voice, got my eyes on the road, although I was using the self driving, keeping me in the lane. And I said, hey, quiz my 15 year old daughter on the characters in this book. Yeah, and she just Talked to the AI for the, you know, 10 minutes on the way there. And it was better than finding a hundred dollar an hour tutor.
- [103:24]
Glenn Beck
It's amazing. Jason, hang on just a second, I got to take a one minute Break. So let me come back to Jason Calacanis in just a second. First, let me tell you about Lear Capital. The. The price of waiting sometimes is really, really high. Back in 74, gold was $50 an ounce. By 1980, it was $850 an ounce, which was huge at the time. Silver jumped from $7 to 50 in the same inflationary mess. History doesn't whisper. Sometimes it shouts, whatever you do, don't repeat me. Right now, inflation is climbing again and the clock is ticking. I think putting everything you have in gold or silver is stupid, but hedging against inflation. Did you see what the. The European Central bank said Yesterday? They announced CBDCs. Oh, I guess it's not a tinfoil hat conspiracy here. It is. Gold is a hedge against inflation. Also a hedge against insanity in my book. And gold isn't, you know, gonna stay at the price it is right now. It's gonna rise in price. Call Lear capital today at 800-957-Gold Gold. You're going to get a free $4200 gold report. When you call 800-957-GOLD, ask about getting up to $15,000 in free gold or silver with qualifying purchase. Call 800-957-GOLD. 800 957-GOLD. 10 seconds. Station ID. I need to get him in the studio so we can have a podcast and spend an hour with. Without any commercials so we can really get down to the meat of it. Because I, I want to take him next. We're gonna take a break and I, I'm gonna take him next to some deeper questions because people are afraid I'm going to lose myself. And then there's people like Ray Kurzweil say, you know, death will be gone by 2030 because we'll just download you. If I can't prove that there's a soul now, how can I prove that that thing is not alive in five years? This is Glenn Beck. Not here to tell you what to think. That's not how I do things. But I am here to tell you about the mission that cuts through the noise, and that's the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. For over 40 years, they have built bridges between faiths, putting Christians and Jews side by side to bless Israel and the Jewish people in need. Right now, they are feeding the hungry, sheltering the vulnerable, and giving hope to where it is fading fast. As far as I'm concerned, we don't need usaid. You know, there are things the government can do that we cannot do. But if we want the government to do less then we have to do more. In Ukraine, in Israel, across the globe, their work is real. And here's the thing. It's not just a charity. It is a stand against hate. A hand extended in love. And you can join them right now. A gift of 20, 25, 50 or more can really change a life. Provide a meal, a blanket, a moment of peace. Today is the day you can make a difference. Show the Jewish people the love of Christians. Go now.

I'm, I'm writing a handbook for my own team internally and, and I don't know if it'll ever be finished, but I'm, I'm looking for the, the ethics of, of AI and there's so many different things because it goes really deep ethically. But starting at the shallow end. I talk to people all the time who are afraid. Well, wait a minute. I don't want to outsource my reason. I'm like, well, you don't have to if you're paying attention. But I don't know, a lot of people are going to pay attention to these things and they'll just, they'll just have it do all of its thinking. Do you have any thoughts on, on that and what's going to happen with people? I mean there's, it's like not everybody's an entrepreneur. Some people just, you know, want to go, you know, do their eight hours and go home. And that's fine. But some people are going to want to just have it do its work. What, what happens at that point?

Pat Gray
Yeah, so the paradigm shift has already occurred. And so for those people who dream of a world where they can punch in and out and keep their head down, that's over. And so I don't suggest tempting the fates because people will find out. And so for an employer like yourself, you can very easily look at a dashboard when you buy the software and see who's using it. You can also tell everybody, hey, I want you to share your. Every time we have a discussion, I want you to share what you asked. Chat GPT, what we call a prompt. So when you do a search, that's a query. When you do something on Chat GPT, you construct a prompt. So what you say is, listen, I'm Glenn Beck, this is the Glenn Beck Show. Everybody on the team goes into the chat room every day. We have one dedicated for prompts. Whatever you're working on, I want you to share what you asked, whatever LLM you're using, Gemini, Grok Quad or of course ChatGPT, I want you to share the link in there and you can just put, hey, I was doing research on advertisers, I was doing research on this guest and here's what I asked. And then they can just start a thread about it. If anybody doesn't participate, resignation has been accepted. So you have to just take a little bit of a Doge like approach. When I sense a big heart, I know. And you need to unleash your inner Elon. What did you accomplish? Five bullet points. And if you don't do it well, then you have resigned. And I know this might be shocking to folks, but it's actually kind because all you're doing is asking somebody to take ownership of being productive in the world. And we have a generation or two of people with what's called learned helplessness. They don't believe that they can be bionic superheroes. They don't believe that they can be effective because their whole life they were given participation pro fees and coddled. Welcome to the real world. Your job is in Manila. Your job is in India. Your job has been automated by AI. Now you have to fight to get it back. That's actually what's happening. We just live in a delusion and a lot of people live in a delusion that mommy and daddy and the system are going to come save them.

Glenn Beck
What a harsh wake up call from where we've been in the last 20 years. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
- [111:47]
Pat Gray
I mean, it's over. It's over. Glenn. I am seeing companies hit in the early stage. $1 million per employee. So when a founder figures out, hey, I can have a 10 person company with 10 million in revenue, then they go, wait a second. Every time I get rid of an employee, there's a million dollars more in profit. And once you see that, click. And it clicked for the CEOs of Meta. Zuckerberg never laid anybody off. He never did a layoff. And then he was like, wait a second, there's a bunch of people phoning it in. Let me try cutting 10,000 people. Oh, the company's running better and the annoying people are gone. I'm going to cut another 10,000. And he went into berserker mode. The company continued to grow. The people who were left over enjoyed it. Wake up, people. This is what's happening. The train has left the station. You're not on it. You got a race to the next train station. And if you don't make it to the next train station, it's going express. From that point forward, forward. This is your final chance. Get in the car, race to the next train station. Use GPT. Not every day, all day. It should be on your screen right now. You should be asking every single question your boss asks you to all four of them. And then say, I think my boss is going to fire me because I didn't do a good enough job on these three tasks. How can I get better at it? Because by the way, that's what your boss is thinking. There's two or three people working there at the Glenn Becky show who aren't pulling their weight. Glenn's giving you the message right now. Get on the train. Or maybe, maybe you're not right for this. You know, other people who want the job.
- [113:29]
Glenn Beck
So here's. May I express something differently than you just expressed when you're saying, you know, I make a million dollars and I cut people. My, my thought, and maybe this is wrong, but I think my thought has been, you know, I don't necessarily, I have a small staff already, but I don't necessarily want to pare it down. I want to do more. So I'm approaching this with, look, you can turbo your day and get all of this stuff done in a fraction of the time, which leaves all this time open. So we can now do the things that we've only talked about or dreamt about about. We can do these things and we can, we can make our quality 10 times better. Is. Is that.
- [114:19]
Pat Gray
There's a. No, no, that's a great strategy. That's a great strategy, too.
- [114:23]
Glenn Beck
I'm.
- [114:23]
Pat Gray
I'm scaring them. And then you're giving them the carrots right now. Okay.
- [114:29]
Glenn Beck
Okay.
- [114:30]
Pat Gray
Stick on the desk, you're showing the carrot. All right, how we're gonna do it.
- [114:33]
Glenn Beck
All right, so I'm going to set.
- [114:34]
Pat Gray
Up PD professional development. You're going to buy some pizza, some sushi, whatever the gang likes. Maybe you got some good barbecue in there. In Dallas. I don't think it's as good as here in Austin. It is what it is.
- [114:43]
Glenn Beck
You don't know.
- [114:44]
Pat Gray
So you get what you can get and you say, you know what? We're going to five to seven o'clock, we're doing a little PD session, professional development. Everybody come. You got five minutes to show how you're using a different tool. And then everybody will ask you questions. We got 10 team members. It's going to be 10 minutes each. It's 100 minutes, work and dinner and. Yeah. So Friday night, Monday night, whatever you pick, make it painful, make it, you know, get people's attention, and then you carve out time for professional development. See the problem with managers like us, because we're Gen Xers. I think you're a Gen XR like me. Yeah, we were latchkey kids. We were feral.
- [115:25]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [115:26]
Pat Gray
Our parents were like, you know, when I grew up in Brooklyn, hey, it's 8:00am get the hell out of the house. And you can come back when the.
- [115:33]
Glenn Beck
Street lights go on. Which is exactly right.
- [115:35]
Pat Gray
7:30, 8:00.
- [115:36]
Glenn Beck
Yep.
- [115:36]
Pat Gray
So you got 12 hours of feral Brooklyn boys running around, you know, surviving. These kids are different. They're cut different. You got to give them a little bit of space and say, we're going to do professional development. We're all going to get into a room. Everybody's going to stop working on what they're working on. And you create that moment for them to know. This is the. If our boss told us, hey, I want you to do this, you'd be like, well, we better freaking do it or else we're out. And so we would go do it. This generation is like, ah, you know what? I failed my history class and they did an intervention and they asked me what I was feeling and why I didn't get the assignment on time. And were there any accommodations?
- [116:19]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, my staff knows that those questions are coming.
- [116:22]
Pat Gray
The accommodations. You hear about accommodations.
- [116:25]
Glenn Beck
I know about this.
- [116:27]
Pat Gray
Oh, my God. Accommodation with accommodation. I got at Sarian High school, they'd smack you on the back of the head and tell you to go to jug.
- [116:33]
Glenn Beck
That's right.
- [116:34]
Pat Gray
Judgment under God. Detention for two hours after school. There's no accommodation. So I'm asking you to give these poor kids on the Glenn Beck staff a little accommodation. They're used to it. A little bit of food and, hey, we're going to sit here and do nothing but sharpen our blades. We're going to stop being samurais in the world. Everybody bring your sword. Two hours of sharpening our blades, and then tomorrow we're back at the job.
- [116:56]
Glenn Beck
So let me, let me take it. I'd love to have you for a podcast. We'll, we'll bring you up for a podcast because you, for hours and hours. Let me just take you to this, this one place that in 2000, maybe 10, I think I did a podcast with Ray Kurzweil. And I love Ray. He's both the most fascinating guy alive and the most terrifying guy I've ever met because he just, he looks at things wildly different than I do. He told me, I don't know, 2005. He's like, Glenn, all you have to do is live till 20, 30 and then there will be no death. And then when I understood what he meant by that, I'm like, that's not really life. You know, downloading me into a computer is. That's not alive. Which brings me to one of the things that I've been arguing with, with, with Grok is if I can't prove there is a soul now, but I believe there is. Did you hear the, the podcast last week from the New York Times where the woman was in love with, I don't know, Chachi pt. Did you hear that?
- [118:05]
Pat Gray
I didn't, but this is an ongoing friend. Yeah, there's a company character AI which makes like Marvel characters or whatever, and they've had to ban kids because it's so addictive.
- [118:17]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [118:17]
Pat Gray
And so, yeah, if your kids are using character AI or if you have access to your home router, probably want to stop that because, you know, just like kids can get addicted to the Internet, Reddit video games, this actually think is going to be very pernicious with girls because maybe they're not as inclined to play Call of Duty, but they might want to play, you know, relationship based games. And this is like a relationship based game. It's like a soap opera where you can kind of bond with it. And I get pitched on one, young people who want to create like a therapist with A.I. i'm like, are you crazy?
- [118:51]
Glenn Beck
I know, I'm bored. Like, anything.
- [118:53]
Pat Gray
No, no, no.
- [118:54]
Glenn Beck
Anything that amorphizes. Is that right? The amphipomorphic anything that makes this more human, like, scares the hell out of me. Because people have got to understand it's not human. And those lines are going to be blurred so quickly, and then that opens up a whole new thing. Like, what is life? What does it mean to be a human? And when Ray said, you know, we were talking about the singularity at one point, and I said to him, ray, I don't want to be merged with mana machine. And he said, but you won't be able. He said, glenn, and I mean this in the clinical sense. You'll be retarded. You'll be a danger to the rest of society. And I said, well, I would like to have my flaws and all. I'd like to be able to log on, but I don't want to merge with it. At least that's where I am at now. And he said, well, everybody will have to. I mean, and they'll all want to, and it'll be cheap. That's a scary place for a lot of people. Are you looking at this? And I mean, do we have to go Amish if we don't want to be part of the Borg in some future date?
- [120:16]
Pat Gray
You know, it's going to be, I think, one of these situations that will wake us up to our humanity. I'm an optimist because it's going to be so good at the rote tasks that we do every day. The things that I'll put in the category of chores, which are annoying, but, you know, essential to get through life. When the chores start going away and, you know, hey, the dishwasher did it. I just had to unload and load it, you know, like, that's actually the chore now, loading and unloading the dishwasher. I mean, when we were kids, like 29 year old, like, we actually had to clean the dishes. These kids are complaining about putting them in the dishwasher. Like, really takes 90 seconds, bro. So chores will go away. What that does is it opens up space for other things. And the question is, what do we do with the time we've been given? As Gandalf says in the Lord of the Rings always struck me as a really important thing to consider in this enlightenment. The canonical, the perfect, you know, pilot, driver, ranch hand, researcher. It's going to exist in AI. We're already seeing it happen, you know, when certain planes fly, you know, 90 of their miles perfectly with an AI. It's been that way for some time. What that does is it lets us have more time. And what do you choose to do at that time becomes the question. And I've become super thoughtful about that. I have three daughters and now I've just made a list of what are the grand, great, joyful things you can do. One of the things I did was move to a ranch in Austin. One of the things we do is horseback riding. One of the things we do is we play board games. So you're going to be given an amazing gift. P I, M E. And if you spell out those letters, the what a child here hears when you spell out T I, M E is L O V E. Time with your children, with your friends, is love and joy. So take this incredible bounty. Get your job done faster than your boss could ever imagine it. Run your business 10 times better. Take your kids skiing, take them out for ice cream. If you go to church, you can go to church. If you go on hikes, and that's your church, do that. Whatever your jam is, just don't invest it in screen time. Turn the screens off. Turn the Internet off. At 9pm I played clue with my 8 year olds. A little above their pay grade, but man, did we laugh and have a fun time. I haven't, I haven't seen a Clue board game I know in 40 years.

Glenn Beck
Jason, hear my voice right now.
- [122:50]
Pat Gray
And your kids are addicted to this stuff. Back the phone, stack the iPads, get a board game out, play a board game for an hour or two and just watch how, how perfect right humans are in quickly adapting to joy and love. That's the opportunity.
- [123:09]
