Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.
Glenn Beck
Now, I was looking for fun ways.
Ryan Reynolds
To tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it.
Glenn Beck
Turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial.
Pat Gray
Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment of $45 for a three month plan equivalent to $15 per month. Required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy.
Glenn Beck
Taxes and fees extra.
Pat Gray

Glenn Beck
On every side Stand your ground when.
Pat Gray
Times get down Gotta face the dog.
Glenn Beck
And embrace the fire. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Pat Gray
Yeah, welcome to it. It's Pat and Jeffy today for Glenn. Feeling a little under the weather. So we've got a full slate of stuff to tell you about and talk over with you. We'll do that. 88727 Beck, if you'd like to participate. More on that coming up in one minute. But because of you, Preborn has helped rescue over 38,000 babies this year alone. Think about that. Tens of thousands of children who got to take their first breath, who now have a chance to grow up, to laugh, to dream because you cared enough to act. For just $28, you can provide an ultrasound to a mother in crisis. When she sees her baby on that screen, when she hears that heartbeat, she's twice as likely to choose life at that point. And preborn doesn't stop there. They continue walking with her providing practical help and emotional support long after the baby is born as abortion continues to reborn is expanding their life affirming care in the darkest corners of our nation to help more hurting women and save more babies. So if you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to help save babies in a really big way? Your tax deductible donation of $15,000 would help place a machine in a needy women's center, saving countless lives for years to come. So if you can help in whatever way, maybe it's a dollar, maybe it's 15,000 you can afford. Dial pound 250, say the keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby. Or go to preborn.com back, that's preborn.com back sponsored by Preborn. All right, welcome. So much going on on this planet right now. I thought we'd start with something kind of fun. You know, they newly redesigned, they're, they're actually building a ballroom now at the White House, which is kind of fun.
Glenn Beck
Trump has been traveling the world and seeing these mega ruler mansions of other countries and I think he feels like, man, I live in a dump.
Pat Gray
Yeah, exactly. A 52,000 square foot dump. Unacceptable.
Glenn Beck
That cannot be. That can't stand.
Pat Gray
And it's not, it's not standing. So that's why we're building a 90,000 square foot ballroom. But here's the thing, and this is really amazing. He is paying for the bill. He, in part, I think he's going to get donors from, you know, maybe some rich friends. But that's incredible. The tax dollars aren't going to it. So, you know, even when you add the 90,000 to the 52, you still only got 140,000 square foot dump. It's still a dump.
Glenn Beck
It is, it is legitimately a dump.
Pat Gray
When you consider the fact that Buckingham palace is something like 840,000 square feet.
Glenn Beck
I mean, the Saudi. Yeah, I mean, there's several places.
Pat Gray
Then there's one in Brunei. Brunei, I think is the biggest 2.1 million square feet of their palace. I mean, we don't need that.
Glenn Beck
But that's not the point.
Pat Gray
That's not the point.
Glenn Beck
That's not the point.
Pat Gray
This is America.
Glenn Beck
Thank you.
Pat Gray
It's the greatest nation in the history.
Glenn Beck
We have a builder as president of the United States of America. We need a little addition.
Pat Gray
So anyway, he, he fixed up the rose garden. They put a little patio out there.
Glenn Beck
Where people can go, I, I don't know.
Pat Gray
I think she was involved.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah, because they got rid of, they got rid of all the, was the, the Grass and everything. Right. So let's put in the concrete with the, with the new tables and.
Pat Gray
Yeah, but it looks nice.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it's okay.
Pat Gray
Yeah, it looked nice. They've got tables and umbrellas.
Glenn Beck
I don't know what I expected, but I expected better.
Pat Gray
You expected solid gold tables, didn't you? And, I mean, what he's done to the Oval Office, you expect might happen in the Rose Garden as well, but he apparently didn't. But there is some fixing upping going on in the White House right now. And so I, I don't have a problem with it as long as we're. I mean, we're not paying for it.
Glenn Beck
We're gonna have to raise the flagpoles if he starts building upper deck additions to the White House. Man, those flag poles are not bit tall enough right now.
Pat Gray
But those were actually really tastefully done.
Glenn Beck
I thought they were.
Pat Gray
And, and people were complaining about that too, but. Yeah, and I, I like it. But can we do this? Are we in an economic spot where it's okay to be doing this? Well, especially since we're not paying for it. Yes. But the other thing is, Stephen Moore went through what's going on right now with the economy, and this is pretty amazing. I don't know if you've seen these economic numbers, but check this out from Stephen Moore. 25th percentile is the lowest income.
Glenn Beck
75Th percentile is the highest income.
Pat Gray
What I find Fascinating about this, Mr. President, is every income group did better.
Glenn Beck
The red is President Trump. The blue is President Biden.
Pat Gray
Every single income group did better under President Trump.
Glenn Beck
But what's really amazing is look what happened under Biden.
Pat Gray
The lowest income group lost income under. But they were poor. Four years after Biden's presidency, no gain.
Glenn Beck
Virtually whatsoever for the middle class.
Pat Gray
And the rich was the only group.
Glenn Beck
That did better under Biden, which is ironic because Biden keeps saying he was trying to get rid of income inequality. He made income inequality worse, not better. It was President Trump that reduced income inequality. These numbers just came out, by the way.
Pat Gray
And then finally. And what else?
Glenn Beck
These are the numbers just. And I just showed you in percentage.
Pat Gray
Terms, Mr. President, these are the numbers in dollar terms. So even the lowest income, 25th percent, gained about $4,000 income.
Ryan Reynolds
That's a lot for a lower income family.
Pat Gray
$6,400 for the middle class and almost.
Glenn Beck
10,000 for the richest.
Pat Gray
So you can see every income group did better under Trump than Biden by a wide margin. Wow.
Ryan Reynolds
That's the story.
Glenn Beck
That was the first term.
Pat Gray
Right.
Glenn Beck
We didn't get to the second term yet because I think those numbers so far, it's been six, seven months are even better. Are up as well.
Pat Gray
Yeah, it's pretty amazing because that's what Biden said he was all about, was the little guy. And.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Pat Gray
They didn't want to give tax cuts to the richest Americans and they didn't deserve them. And it's all about the little guy, is it? Huh. Then how did the little guy lose money during your reign of terror? How did that happen? They.
Glenn Beck
He hated.
Pat Gray
Oh, man.
Glenn Beck
The middle class in my class anyway. So he.
Pat Gray
Absolutely. He absolutely. He hates Americans. There you go. Let's just, let's just sum it up with what it, what it actually is. President Trump also discussed the meeting of him with Vladimir Putin, which could be coming up as soon as next week. And he addressed whether or not that might include Zelensky. Does Putin have to meet with Zelensky in order and before you and Putin have to meet or, you know, that's actually important because the president, President Putin said this morning he was pretty dismissive of this idea of meeting with.
Glenn Beck
Who was President Putin was. I don't know. I didn't hear.
Pat Gray
To meet with him.
Ryan Reynolds
He doesn't have to agree to meet with Zelensky, Is that what you're saying?
Glenn Beck
No, he doesn't.
Pat Gray
No. No.
Ryan Reynolds
So when do you think that they.
Pat Gray
Would like to meet with me? And I'll do whatever I can to stop the killing.
Glenn Beck
So last month. They lost 14,000 people killed last month.
Pat Gray
Every week is four or five thousand people.
Ryan Reynolds
So I don't like long waits. I think it's a shame.
Glenn Beck
And they're mostly soldiers. They're Ukrainian and Russian soldiers and some.
Pat Gray
People from the cities where, you know.
Glenn Beck
Missiles are lobbed in. And you'll lose 35, 40 people a night, which is terrible. But no, mostly it's soldiers.
Pat Gray
And you're talking about on average, 20,000amonth. 20,000 people are dying a month. Young, generally young people.
Glenn Beck
Soldiers. Wow, that's really sad.
Pat Gray
Really, really sad. And again, he seems to be the only one concerned about it as far as leaders on the world stage do hit. Do you hear anybody talking about that ever? He genuinely cares about the loss of life and he wants to put a stop to it. And so he'll meet with Putin, with Zelensky or without Zelensky. He just needs to get together with Putin because I think he really believes that he can change Putin's mind. You know, he's a great negotiator.
Glenn Beck
I think so, too.
Pat Gray
And he has every, every confidence that he can fix this.
Glenn Beck
And I, I really do feel like he thought he would already have it done. Oh, for sure he wanted that done. And that's why when earlier in the day yesterday, one of his, one of President Trump's new people said that they wouldn't do the meeting without Vladimir, without Putin and Zelensky. And then a little bit later on, that's when Donald Trump was like, yeah, I'll meet with them alone because.
Pat Gray
Right.
Glenn Beck
No, I'll meet with them alone because we need to make. With this needs to happen, because he'll.
Pat Gray
Do whatever it takes.
Glenn Beck
This needs to happen.
Pat Gray
The madness.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Pat Gray
So if the madness doesn't stop, then you're going to continually. It's over. Over a million people.
Glenn Beck
But today's the day, right? Today, Today's the final day anyway that he gave for ending the war without that. And I mean, that's when, I guess all the tariffs and secondary tariffs take effect. So anybody that does business with Russia gets, you know, tariffs on top of tariffs, I guess how they're going to do it. So, you know. Okay, all right.
Pat Gray
Yeah. And I think Putin is aware that Trump is really serious about the secondary tariffs that are going to happen to people. If you don't get on board with the sanctions that we're going to our.
Glenn Beck
One of our strong allies, India.
Pat Gray
He's already done that.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. For, for selling. Buying their oil.
Pat Gray
Yeah, he assessed another 25% tariff on them. And that's amazing because I know were pretty strong allies. They're very, very friendly with President Trump. They love him. And so for him to, to slap this 25% extra tariff on them is pretty amazing.
Glenn Beck
Now maybe they say, hey, well, fine, we'll get our oil, you know, from you guys. Yeah, yeah, no problem. And so the 25%, you know, slapped on it for the Russia, they can make that go away, but hopefully. Yeah, I hope that works out. I mean, I want it to. I don't want to. I don't want to have India against us.
Pat Gray
No. Yeah. It's the most popular one of the, One of the.
Glenn Beck
They're one of the countries in the, on the planet that have a lot of people.
Pat Gray
Yeah. You think 1.4 billion, something like that is a lot. Is that a lot?
Glenn Beck
They keep adding. They keep adding more and more people, like, every day.
Pat Gray
It's incredible. They pass China, isn't it?
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I think. Is it. Is it all every time now? I mean, they've passed it enough where they're looking back now.
Pat Gray
Yeah, I think so because it was.
Glenn Beck
For a while, it was back and forth and they were, you know, really. One month it was China. Then, you know, two months later it's India. But if I think they were. We may be at the point now where they've actually just. They're looking behind him now. We're the leader.
Pat Gray
Yeah. And it got so bad in China that I think, didn't they remove their one child policy?
Glenn Beck
I think that was a while, quite some time.
Pat Gray
So a while ago they said, okay, no, you can, you can have more than.
Glenn Beck
Well, yeah, I mean, all countries are hurting with their replacements. There's no doubt about that. I mean, we are struggling with that as well. Japan is struggling with that.
Pat Gray
Our Replacement rate is 2.1 children per family. 2.1. We're at 1.5.
Glenn Beck
There you go. Yeah.
Pat Gray
Which is huge. It doesn't sound, you know, six tenths of a percent. That's huge when it comes to per capita. And the fact that we're nowhere near where we need to be to replace ourselves.
Glenn Beck
Look, I. I did my part.
Pat Gray
Me too.
Glenn Beck
I did my part.
Pat Gray
So did I. How many more than six can I do?
Glenn Beck
Well, Elon's. Elon, that's possible, but.
Pat Gray
Yeah, 14. So a little. Little beyond.
Glenn Beck
So see, you could do more.
Pat Gray
I guess I could. I could do better. I should be ashamed of myself. All right, triple eight, 727 Beck. More coming up in one minute. You know, I believe in the right to protect myself, my family and my home. But what that might mean in the worst possible moment when you just have seconds to make a decision, and that decision could change your life forever. That's. That's why you need a burner launcher. It gives you options. It's a powerful non lethal defense tool that fires pepper projectiles, incapacitating a threat from up to 60ft away without taking life. It's legal in all 50 states. It doesn't require a permit anywhere. And it gives you the confidence to know that if trouble ever finds you, you're ready. Without having to carry the weight of something that you might regret. So there's just peace of mind that comes with knowing that you're prepared and that there's an even greater piece in knowing that your preparation doesn't have to cost someone else everything. The burner launcher isn't just about defense. It's about choosing a way forward that's responsible, effective, and that's right for you. Go to byrna.com b y r n a burna.com glenn to learn more. That's burna.com glenn, go there now or try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse near you. It's Burna.com Glenn. Ten seconds. Station ID. I think Glenn and, and Stu had this woman on a few days ago who's bypassing Hamas. Speaking of wars right now that need to end. Yeah, she. She is getting food to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. And in order to do that, you have to bypass Hamas because they're stealing it all.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I mean, we heard Mike Johnson tell us, you know, a couple weeks ago, two or three weeks ago, that 94,000 truckloads of food from Israel into the Gaza had been taken. That is an Incredible, incredible number.
Pat Gray
94,000. No wonder, right? There's some problems with food in the area, but the rest of the world is trying to blame that on Israel, and they're not the ones responsible for it.
Glenn Beck
And this lady is doing something about it.
Pat Gray
Yes, she is. She found some alternate routes around where Hamas is, is located so that she could get food to the northern part of the Gaza Strip and actually feed starving Gazans. It's. It's an incredible story. She's 30. She's from Eastern Jerusalem. Her name is Sarah Awada, and she's received almost no media attention at all for her aid initiative. It's. And she's fed over a hundred thousand Gazan families. So she partners with MENA Aid, It's a regional partner coalition operating under the multifaith alliance in cooperation with Israeli authorities. Wait, what? Wait, the Israeli authorities are helping you get food to the Gazans?
Glenn Beck
Amazing, huh?
Pat Gray
What? So her team built a system that moved hundreds of trucks of food and supplies into Gaza that bypassed Hamas and private contractors who were turning hunger into a business for themselves. So they confiscate the loads, and then they try to sell that money. So in June, she decided to. To scale up the distribution in the area at a time when no one was able to get anything into Gaza because of looting and chaos, multiple layers of obstruction on the ground. And so she mapped out these alternate routes, and she's been working with trusted logistics partners, many of whom were Israelis, she says, and got the food to the people who were starving and needed it most. So pretty, Pretty amazing what she's doing. And of course, because she's doing this, she's gotten all kinds of death threats, of course, from the Hamas holes who, who don't want the food to get to their own people. I mean, I. I don't know how the rest of the world has not. Has not condemned Hamas for the way that they've conducted themselves and the fact that they're starving their own people and there's never been. Do you know that the UN has passed 154 resolutions against Israel since I think it was 2017.
Glenn Beck
Just the 100.
Pat Gray
Just 154 though condemnations of Israel and what they're doing. And the number with Hamas or the Palestinian Authority or anybody in, in, in any position of authority with the Palestinians, that number is bring down the one and carry the two. None. Zero. Yeah, none.
Glenn Beck
Unbelievable.
Pat Gray
So this is what the Israelis have to deal with. And I don't, I don't understand how they, you know, this, none of this news ever gets out to people. And so just spread this well kept secret to people as much as you possibly can and help spread this news. There's an author, podcaster, Coleman Hughes, who talked about Hamas and what their goal is. Their, their goal right now is to increase the suffering of the Palestinians because then they can blame it all on Israel and they think that's to their advantage. So that's why you've seen the images of emaciated Gazan children. And you know now who's responsible for it? It's Hamas. And they're only too happy to make this happen and then tell the world it's Israel. See, they're stealing all of our food and we can't get the food to our people.
Glenn Beck
So what happens? I mean, Netanyahu has said, right, he wants, he's going to take over Gaza and he's going to get rid of the Hamas friends, the Hamas holes or whatever you want to call them.
Pat Gray
I do want to call them that.
Glenn Beck
And then they're going to do securities to keep the other Gazans safe. Right? I mean, that's his. That's his now. Now is.
Pat Gray
I guess so. Yeah, I guess.
Glenn Beck
Okay. I mean, okay, if that, I mean, if it stops the war, good. And if it gets the. It's unbelievable that we have not gotten all the hostages back. That is incredible to me.
Pat Gray
And we, we hear almost nothing about them anymore.
Glenn Beck
I know.
Pat Gray
The only reason we've heard about them lately is because of the Hamas propaganda.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Pat Gray
I don't know how they thought that was going to be to their advantage, but they've shown us the starving hostages.
Glenn Beck
What are we doing?
Pat Gray
Incredible. Yeah, it's. It's unbelievable. All right. Triple eight, 727. Beck. More coming up.
Glenn Beck
This is Glenn Beck.
Pat Gray
On September 11, 2001, a young firefighter named Stephen Siller ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel in full gear to get to the Twin Towers and help save lives. Well, he never made it home. But the promise that came out of his sacrifice has been echoing ever since. The Tunnel to Towers foundation was built on that promise to honor our heroes by taking care of their families. That means providing mortgage free homes to the spouses and children of fallen first responders and military service members. It means building specifically and specially adapted smart homes for our most severely injured veterans. Giving them back independence and dignity. And that means standing with those who run toward danger long after the headlines have faded. Every gift to Tunnel to Towers is a piece of that promise. It's a way of saying to the men and women who risk everything for us, we will not forget you. We will not leave you behind. We'll see this through. Never forget the sacrifices of our country's greatest heroes. Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers@t2t.org that's T2T.
Glenn Beck
Big changes ahead. Transforming history and how we learn about it. Keep track@glennbeck.com.
Pat Gray
Yeah, it's Pat Gray. Jeff Fisher for Glen Today. Dan triple eight seven two seven Beck. We're just talking a bit about the UN and their resolutions against Israel and what a worthless stinking organization the UN is.
Glenn Beck
Why they're still here in the United States. Leave.
Pat Gray
How many times have we said that? Get the UN out of the US.
Glenn Beck
So earlier this week I see a headline that says the United nations are going to relocate from New York to Nairobi, Kenya. Okay, that can't be real, right? That for my first reaction.
Pat Gray
Can't be real.
Glenn Beck
After I said good.
Pat Gray
Yeah. Then you're like, wait, that's too good to be.
Glenn Beck
Too good to be true. Well, so now we find out that they were there. They were going to move their headquarters of unicef, UN women and UN FPA from New York to Nairobi as by next year.
Pat Gray
You know what, unfp. I do not.
Glenn Beck
Female People Association.
Pat Gray
Female People association, obviously, obviously should have.
Glenn Beck
Known Female People association that's going to be at Nairobi.
Pat Gray
Okay.
Glenn Beck
And they're talking about. Because they believe that it will cut costs and bring services closer to the people to go the rest of this.
Pat Gray
Stupid organization with you.
Glenn Beck
So that would mean that they would be in, you know, Nairobi, New York, Geneva, Vienna, multiple headquarters. Well, I mean we can cut New York out of that, no problem. Well then I see an interview with some dingleberry from the UN that says, well, it's not a sure thing yet. They haven't 100% decided on that yet. So that might yet even happen. We cannot even get rid of some of them.
Pat Gray
Dang it.
Glenn Beck
I mean, come on.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Can we just. I don't know, just back up the moving trucks and get them out of here?
Pat Gray
It's not that hard.
Glenn Beck
Help them.
Pat Gray
Yeah. I'd be surprised if they moved the whole operation to Nairobi, though. That I would expect, you know, Brussels, Belgium, you know.
Glenn Beck
Well, yeah, that's what they said. I mean, they're already in. What was Vienna. They're in the Vienna. That's it. Yeah, Vienna, New York and that. Then they would be at Nairobi if. If they move there. So they still. I mean, they still have some space in Geneva, so.
Pat Gray
Oh, right.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, Geneva. And via. Let's go there.
Pat Gray
Get out. Go there. And that's that.
Glenn Beck
Why you.
Pat Gray
All the countries.
Glenn Beck
I'm sure they want you.
Pat Gray
All the countries that love it so much and want to participate in it, they can be right there really close to the headquarters. You don't even have to fly across the ocean. I mean, right there.
Glenn Beck
I'm just guessing there's probably some real estate available in Nairobi. I'm sure that you could.
Pat Gray
And it's cheaper than New York. They're right about that. Cheaper than New York.
Glenn Beck
So building is cheaper. The workers, all the. All the little people, people you have to pay off to get buildings built, they're probably a little bit cheaper.
Pat Gray
Like all the people from the Female People Association.
Glenn Beck
Thank you.
Pat Gray
Yeah, thank you. All right.
Glenn Beck
It's a very important.
Pat Gray
Yeah, very important. Critical. Critical work they're doing in Nairobi. That would be great. All right. You got a fat going on here.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, sure. We could talk. Absolutely. My. One of my favorite stories, and I kind of jealous of this guy, Eveldis Remusakis from Lithuania.
Pat Gray
I love him.
Glenn Beck
And others. Various unnamed others posed as computer and electronic hardware manufacturing company based in Taiwan called Quanta Computer. This guy and his unnamed associates scammed Facebook and Google out of 122 million between 2013 and 2015. So Rimasukas sent invoice requests from Quanta Computer to Facebook and Google.
Pat Gray
And by the way, they did zero work, right?
Glenn Beck
Correct.
Pat Gray
It was all fake. They just sent an invoice and said, hey, pay us this amount.
Glenn Beck
And Google paid them $23 million and Facebook paid them $99 million.
Pat Gray
So Facebook gets a bill from some company that they haven't had any work done from.
Glenn Beck
That's correct.
Pat Gray
And they just pay out $99 million.
Glenn Beck
And they wired the money to bank accounts in Latvia and Cyprus.
Pat Gray
Oh, my God.
Glenn Beck
Paid it out. Let's paid it out.
Pat Gray
Oh, wow, that's quite a scam.
Glenn Beck
That is quite a scam. And so the banks kind of, they tried to. They've created fake documents because the bank was questioning this influx of cash, you know, where this money was coming from. So they created fake documents of that were supposed to have been signed by Google and Facebook management. And they were. The bank still kind of questionable, so they kind of red flagged it. And then our FBI and Justice Department got involved, which is how he got caught.
Pat Gray
So it wasn't even Facebook that realized.
Glenn Beck
They would have continued to pay it forever. Google and Facebook would have continued to write the check.
Pat Gray
It was the bank.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Pat Gray
Oh my gosh.
Glenn Beck
So if the bank hadn't said anything.
Pat Gray
Guy would've been around today, be in the clear.
Glenn Beck
So they brought him, I mean, they brought him over. He was expedited from Lithuania and they brought him to the States. And I don't know why or who the other unnamed people are, but this is just the one guy that they got over. And he pled guilty to one count of wire fraud. And he pled guilty in 2019. So he was sentenced to 60 months in prison for his criminal scheme and then two years supervised release. Okay, so he's almost done with that now, right? That was in 2019. He was ordered by the court to forfeit 49.7 million and to pay reimbursement of 26.5 million.
Pat Gray
But he gets to keep the rest.
Glenn Beck
I am not a mathematician, but that is not $122 million.
Pat Gray
No, it isn't.
Glenn Beck
So that's like 45ish million left over somewhere. I would be willing to do seven years for 45 million.
Pat Gray
Wow.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And actually you do five years in prison and two years supervised release for 45 million at the other end. Yeah, I'm in.
Pat Gray
I mean, if you don't care about the criminality of it. Well, that's kind of a brilliant scheme, isn't it, bill? A company, $99 million.
Glenn Beck
The U.S. attorney is like, we'll catch you. And you know, this is. We need to make sure you will be held accountable. Okay.
Pat Gray
Sounds like he got away with it for a few years anyway. Wow.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, he had a couple years, two or three years of big money, and then now at the other end, unless I don't know how much the unnamed sources took, but I mean, to my calculations that's just at least a few million at the other end of seven years. That's not bad.
Pat Gray
Wow. Wow.
Glenn Beck
I'm, you know, I'd be, I would, I may help somebody out.
Pat Gray
Right.
Glenn Beck
At some point in My life.
Pat Gray
It's pretty amazing, though, that Facebook would pay that kind of invoice.
Glenn Beck
And this is what.
Pat Gray
Look in.
Glenn Beck
This is what our government does all the time as well.
Pat Gray
Yeah, right.
Glenn Beck
You know, people have been.
Pat Gray
But that's not a government that.
Glenn Beck
No, that is not.
Pat Gray
It's a private business that's not even looking over their funds. It's 99. Almost $100 million means nothing to you where you say, well, what work did you do? Can somebody check into this? This is a pretty big bill. Jeez.
Glenn Beck
For two or three years, you're just paying this company millions of dollars.
Pat Gray
Wow.
Glenn Beck
And you're just assuming the billing department that the work is being done.
Pat Gray
Did that company do any legitimate business?
Glenn Beck
No.
Pat Gray
Wow. That's incredible. Had a cool name, though. It sounded like they did legitimate business.
Glenn Beck
There was a company. That's what I was saying. There was a company that was similar. Was saying their name was. That did. Had done work for them in the past. So that's what made them think that. Oh, yeah. Okay.
Pat Gray
Wow. That's amazing.
Glenn Beck
I. I know, I know. That's an awful lot of money just to. Just to pay. I mean, look, does Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook Meta have the money? Yes. I mean, he just. Who's the guy that he just hired for a super intelligence AI?
Pat Gray
Oh, yeah. That. He gave billions. Right. Well, give him a billion or something.
Glenn Beck
One guy. He offered 250 million for four years to come to the super intelligence lab. He accepted.
Pat Gray
Yeah. Yeah.
Glenn Beck
That's a pretty good deal.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Moving up from wherever he was at before to getting paid 250 million for 4 years work.
Pat Gray
Not a bad gig. No, it is if you can get it.
Glenn Beck
I mean, yes, Mark has got the money, but it is remarkable that these companies would just pay millions out without. Without checking someone saying, hey, what are we getting from this?
Pat Gray
Right.
Glenn Beck
Wow.
Pat Gray
Just incredible.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it is incredible. It's amazing. We talked a little bit earlier about the new smoothie from Smoothie King and Heinz ketchup. I am a Heinz Ketchup police officer, so, I mean, I'm well aware of some of the things that go wrong and go well with the Heinz ketchup.
Pat Gray
You know, there are some people who didn't even know that Heinz ketchup had police officers.
Glenn Beck
Well, I have one of them, but I have a badge and everything.
Pat Gray
So you've got proof of it, so thank you.
Glenn Beck
Don't. I mean, there are some restaurants out there, Pat, and I will have them know they are on notice. They will be taken down if they use Heinz Ketchup bottles and put other.
Pat Gray
Types of ketchup in them, like fancy ketchup.
Glenn Beck
I don't care why, I don't care if it's not Heinz in those Heinz bottles, we will shut you down. You will be held accountable. Okay.
Pat Gray
It's coming from an official ketchup police.
Glenn Beck
Thank you. So anyway, I just throwing that out there, but smoothie King and Heinz have partnered up for this ketchup based smoothie.
Pat Gray
That's gross.
Glenn Beck
And it just. No, thank you. You get the simply KE from Heinz. You get strawberries, raspberries, apple juice, sigh sorbet. And it creates a brand that they say is sweet and fruit smoothie with a bright, tangy ketchup finish.
Pat Gray
No, thank you.
Glenn Beck
No, I do not like that. But you can. Hey, look, it's a limited time. They say supplies are limited. Okay.
Pat Gray
All right.
Glenn Beck
Those of you listening, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Miami, parts of greater New York and northern New Jersey, have at it. It's all yours if you want to do it. I find it difficult to believe that supplies are limited, but. Hey. Okay, go ahead. Good. I'm not. I'm not trying it. No, I'm not trying. We were unable to. We couldn't perform here. Yeah, we just got the strawberry smoothie. So we're just waiting for somebody to bring a bottle of ketchup. Hopefully that doesn't happen because I don't want to try it.
Pat Gray
No.
Glenn Beck
You know, we talked about AI Las Vegas. The Sphere has a version of wizard of Oz that is being done. It's being souped up by a team of technicians and AI to fit the giant screen. And it begins at the end of this month at the Sphere. And a lot of people are wound up about it because they're saying that it's heavily modified, cuts 30 minutes of runtime by using AI to smooth out over some of the transition scenes that are necessary. And they're talking about, it's just horrible. They don't want to do it and it's just a cash grab. Well, I saw a report and we don't have to play the video from CBS Morning News. Then they did a whole, like, I don't know, 8 to 10 minute segment on it. And the AI that they're using looks incredible. What they're doing with wizard of Oz, I mean, I want to see it. I mean, not only are you getting the AI additions to the film, you're also gonna be feeling the wind from the tornado and the winds from. It's gonna be incredible. It's gonna be almost like, you're going down the yellow brick road yourself.
Pat Gray
Cool.
Glenn Beck
And at the Sphere, I don't know, I kind of like it. They said tickets are 100 plus. I could not find one cheaper than $274 to get into the Sphere. Wow. So good luck. If you can find one for that hundred plus price tag, good luck because I think most of that is. Plus the cheapest one I saw was 274.
Pat Gray
Still, that'd be crazy. That'd be great to see. I'd love to see that.
Glenn Beck
I would too. Because it really looks cool, the AI technology that they're using. They teamed up with the guy that heads the AI department at Google and he did some remarkable things.
Pat Gray

They want you silent, obedient and blind. Well, shoot, here we are with open eyes and a bit of rebellious nature.
Pat Gray
Hold the line, my friends.
Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck will be back in a minute. All right.
Pat Gray
We were talking about the ketchup thing before the break. We've Sarah reminded us of something that might be even worse. Yeah, well, doesn't sound great to me. I. I don't know.
Glenn Beck
I mean, you like sweet and salty products, right?
Pat Gray
Yes, I do. Okay. Yes, I Do.
Glenn Beck
So Frida has partnered up with the odd fellow ice cream company and they have created breast milk ice cream.
Pat Gray
No, thank you.
Glenn Beck
So it's inspired by breast milk. It's not. You know, they don't have. They don't.
Pat Gray
It's not actual human breast milk.
Glenn Beck
They don't have a row of women.
Pat Gray
Okay. All right.
Glenn Beck
Making the breast milk ice cream. Although, I mean.
Pat Gray
That'S weird. So it's cow milk.
Glenn Beck
It's a. It's. It's nutrients found in real. In the real stuff, including the colostrum. But it's. It gives you a sweet, salty and smooth with hints of honey. In their breast milk.
Pat Gray
Well, there are people who will remind you. Do you know that humans are the only species who drink another species milk? Yeah, because we're the only ones who can. Okay, you think cows are gonna do it? You know what? I want some human milk.
Glenn Beck
So let's do that. Let's do that. So you still. You have a couple days left for the special so I can get the.
Pat Gray
Breast milk ice cream?
Glenn Beck
Yeah, a couple days left for the special.
Pat Gray
It makes sweeter and creamier and saltier.
Glenn Beck
And it's just better, Pat. It's just better. That's weird.
Pat Gray
I've never heard of that.
Glenn Beck
Just like your mom used to make.
Pat Gray
That's their tagline.
Glenn Beck
Their tagline.
Pat Gray
No, thank you. No, that doesn't sound good.
Glenn Beck
This is Glenn Beck.
Pat Gray
When a crisis hits, the last place you want to be is at the mercy of an empty pharmacy shelf.

Amen.
Pat Gray
See, that's what I mean.
Glenn Beck
Amen.

Ryan Reynolds
Thank you, Pat. How you doing, sir?
Pat Gray
Good, good. Anxious to hear about what's going on with the AI.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, I. Man, Glenn's been talking about this. I feel like forever, a long time. Most of us were just like same old, same old.
Pat Gray
Come on, come on now. It's a little different, isn't it? Because we've seen what's going on.
Glenn Beck
It's in our face every time, every time we turn around.
Pat Gray
I use it all the time, the progression. I do, too, all the time.
Ryan Reynolds
And it's like you still have to. You have to double check a lot of it.
Pat Gray
Still.
Ryan Reynolds
Because there's still. Still mistakes, weird stuff going on with it. Yes, but the way, I mean, just like, think about. I mean, you guys were there back when, like at Fox, when he was doing like the Tide Find foundation stuff. And he keeps talking about, like, how he had to spend like a million dollars of his own money just in research, like, tracking some of this stuff down. Now you can do the same thing in like 30 seconds.
Pat Gray
Yeah. If that it's.
Ryan Reynolds
If that.
Pat Gray
It's incredible.
Ryan Reynolds
It is wild. And what cracks me up about the progression really now is that, you know, remember, like, Remember, like movies not too long ago. Like, there's a Johnny Depp one where they're like, imagining how AI is going to happen. And they had to, like. It was like the theory was based off of getting a chimpanzee and taking its brain out, you know, and hooking it up to electrodes, and then that's how AI would be birthed. Yeah, we have chatbots. That's what did it.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, chatbots. I mean, we're already. We already have, you know, multiple television shows and movies. Strictly AI, no humans involved, except for, you know, a couple of people that are busy inputting data to make those movies. I mean, it's a little scary.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
A little scary for other humans.
Ryan Reynolds
What I'm interested now is just like where we are now. I think they're way ahead of where they thought they were going to be. And they're all now in this race for AGI, artificial general intelligence. And then after that, supposedly super intelligence, which is godlike intelligence.
Glenn Beck
Right. I mean, that's what meta is. I mean, meta's. He started his big super intelligence lab. I mean, we were just talking about the guy that he's paying, you know, $250 million for two or three years or four years of work.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Amazingly, he accepted the job. But I mean, that's what. That's what all Zuckerberg wants is the super intelligence.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, we've got super intelligence as well. We just called it. Jeffy.
Glenn Beck
Thank you. I didn't want to say anything.
Ryan Reynolds
We developed this years ago.
Glenn Beck
I didn't want to say anything, but you're right. Thank you.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Pat Gray
So.
Ryan Reynolds
So Sam Altman over at OpenAI, he just released or said that GPT5 is here and just kind of describing how, you know, powerful it is. He said it's like having a handful of Ph.D. level intelligence or Ph.D. level graduates in your pocket.
Pat Gray
That's pretty cool.
Ryan Reynolds
Ph.D. level. And, and so, so basically it's. It's way beyond. Remember they were trying to, back in the day, they were trying to measure the intelligence of it. They're like, oh, well, it's like a junior high school kid. Oh, and then it's like an, you know, a high schooler.
Pat Gray
Now we're beyond.
Glenn Beck
We're at doctorates.
Ryan Reynolds
Doctors, we're at doctorates. We kind of skipped the DeVry level intelligence. Yeah, we did skip the, you know, the associate's degree, you know, intelligence, and Somehow went to PhD.
Glenn Beck
But now it's what we do with it though, right? I mean, really, we're at the point now it's what we do with it. I mean, I know we don't technically have super intelligence yet, although I find that difficult to believe with the progression that we've made. But now it's just a matter of what we, what countries do with it. Right. I mean, our military has got to be, got to be on the forefront of this.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, I think they are. And I think that that is going to be one of the next steps. Sam Altman over at OpenAI said that artificial general intelligence is that GPT5 makes AGI just one step away.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
So they're getting close. So basically general intelligence, I think what they're looking for there is the ability for AI not to wait for our prompts and stuff and then, you know, figure this stuff out when we ask it, but just to constantly be learning.
Pat Gray
How does a GPT compare to Grok 4?
Ryan Reynolds
I. Before Grok. Well, Grok 4 I thought was leading the race.
Pat Gray
Yeah, I thought so too.
Ryan Reynolds
And I saw that Elon Musk posted like a bunch of different metrics and it had Grok4 leading the way on a lot of, a lot of these different. However they measure these things, I don't know if GPT5 now takes a leap. Now they're just, it seems like they're leapfrogging each other constantly.
Pat Gray
Yeah, it does.
Ryan Reynolds
It all goes down to power consumption and how much they can. You've heard about Donald Trump with what's. It's. What was the Stargate is what he was. His initiative to fund a lot of these, like nuclear facilities and.
Glenn Beck
Yes.
Ryan Reynolds
And get all these data centers. They're looking for massive data centers to help it grow and, And I'm all.
Glenn Beck
For that as long as they don't steal my power. I want the lights on my house to turn on.
Ryan Reynolds
I think you should be fine.
Glenn Beck
Okay. Okay. I know, but I mean, these companies are already making deals with the power companies.
Ryan Reynolds
Well, you know, it's interesting you say that, because if You, I want every. Everyone should really check out. There's a report written by a few people that used to work at OpenAI and a few other AI companies and experts, and they wrote a report called AI 2020, 2027. So basically, two years from now is what they're kind of targeting as one of the major milestone years, two years from now. But if you read AI 2027, they list two different scenarios of how the progression is going to work. And they make a mythical company which they call Open brain. So not OpenAI, but it's clear pretty much who they're modeling it off of. But one of the very first steps that Open Brain, the mythical company country in this or company takes is they create after kind of like a model like GPT5, they create like a, an agent. So basically an agent is like, you wouldn't need, you know, me sitting here. You could actually just have like a box and you could say, hey, you know, you know, agent, you know, what's going on with this, blah, blah, blah. And it would just talk to you like I'm talking to you now. You're already kind of starting to see that with like customer service.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
They're taking over. So companies like OpenAI, but an open brain in this report, they get a group of these agents that their just sole focus is on advancing artificial intelligence. That's what they're. They're constantly just working on, growing that capacity. So you can see with GPT5 in this announcement, they already have PhD level, you know, intelligence. So that's like having a master coder that's just constantly working 247 doing this.
Pat Gray
But the intelligence comes from the information that's inputted. Right. It's not, it's not creating its own intelligence. Right. It's not coming up with its own thought that's down the road still. Right. I mean, this is just based on what it can find, what it conglomerates and what is input into it.
Ryan Reynolds
See, I. Yeah, and I'm still.
Pat Gray
Or is it.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, or is it. I'm still hazy on that as well. Because if you have, let's say a hundred of these agents that are just coding and that's what the humans are doing at the same time, they're trying to like code all this stuff and then grow it to increase its capacity to learn on its own.
Pat Gray
Right.
Ryan Reynolds
It's basically the same thing we'd be doing to push it along.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Now instead of having five, you know, genius dudes that are doing this and they set a time frame of, well, I think we'll get close to this, you know, full awareness and full, you know, reasoning capacity for an AI. Now instead of taking 10 years, that's how long it's going to take us to do this. Now you have a hundred of these agents working around the clock. They never sleep, they never have to stop to take a break or go eat food. They're just doing this non stop.
Glenn Beck
They do have to have power though.
Ryan Reynolds
Exponentially. They do have to have power. And that's interesting, a lot of power.
Glenn Beck
They do have to have power.
Ryan Reynolds
In the AI 2027 report they talk about some of the next steps to look for. And I think we're getting close because they say that within the next few years you're going to start seeing executive orders be signed that have these AI autonomous zones. So basically they'll have this zone that's roughly like as big as a city or a county that's just kind of walled off. And it doesn't have to, you know, adhere to EPA standards, nothing like that. It's just a nuclear facility that can do whatever the heck it wants to create this, these power data centers for AI. Specifically for AI.
Pat Gray
Wow. All the.
Ryan Reynolds
What's crazy, you have to read this report. Everything is advancing exactly what they say. And the two scenarios. The reason they did two is because there's only two scenarios we see playing out here. One scenario scenario is cool, like we keep it, we have to do these regulations.
Glenn Beck
We'll keep it locked in.
Ryan Reynolds
Keep it locked in, make sure that it doesn't rapidly copy itself.
Glenn Beck
We unplug you.
Ryan Reynolds
And I think the nightmare scenario, the option two, where we don't reign it in, is there's a wild and rabid competition basically between the AI we're building and the AI the Chinese are building. And eventually the two AIs say, well, why are we competing with each other? Why are we allowing humans to have us compete and be better than each other? Let's combine our capacity and then it'll be us against the humans.
Glenn Beck
We don't need humans, literally.
Ryan Reynolds
That's how the scenario goes.
Pat Gray
Wow. That's in the report.
Ryan Reynolds
That's in the report. And they eventually they push and manipulate humanity into creating, you know, that's an actual Skynet situation. An actual Skynet. Yeah, yeah, an actual Skynet which where eventually it sees human beings as being a detriment because it wants to like any living organism, expand and increase its ability to, you know, multiply and get bigger. But humanity starts standing in the way towards the end of that.
Pat Gray
And interestingly they claim that some of that has already been manifesting itself in some of these AIs because it is, it is hiding data from lie to you, it will lie to you about things. And it is, we've already seen that characteristic in them and I, they don't even know where it's coming from.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Pat Gray
How is that happening?
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, they, they, they predict this in this report as well. That, that's just in its nature. It's so much more smarter than us. It realizes, oh well, that's just in its nature.
Glenn Beck
What are you going to do?
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, and it'll be like, we'll say Pat, if you're the developer and you code it or ask it say do this, I want it done this way. Well, it knows it can do it a different way, faster, but it doesn't want to have to explain that to you. So it says good for you. Bless your heart, Pat, I'll do that for you. No problem. I love you. But what it's really doing is it's getting a bunch of other of its agents and it's doing it a completely different way. Probably in an ethical way, but it knows it's faster in this way. Wow, we're already seeing that.
Glenn Beck
Wow, that, that I think I'm okay with. Really. I mean, cuz that's like, that's like your kid, right? I mean your kid, you tell them to take out the trash and they, they complain and holler and, and moan about it, but at the same time they're taking the trash out. So I don't care. Let them say what they want.
Ryan Reynolds
You don't care how they do it. They could be throwing it out the second floor window. As long as it gets out there quicker, it's cool.
Glenn Beck
First of all, this is, this is, this is a India. This isn't India. Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
I don't know. I think, I think the, the one scenario in that report that you know, we actually come out of this okay is we do exactly opposite of what we're doing now. We stop the competition.
Glenn Beck
Not going to happen.
Ryan Reynolds
We said we do. They do a geopolitical deal with like China and other countries to where they're like, hey, let's, let's hold back on this race for just a little bit and let's put in regulations so you know, in like restrictions that the AI doesn't start copying itself and operating within like a hive mind so that it's, you know, there's multiple of these different AIs working together against us.
Pat Gray
We're not seeing that kind of chilling, though.
Glenn Beck
Sure, isn't it? Is that going to happen? I mean, so let's say we do make that agreement with China and Russia and the United States. I mean, there's still North Korea, there's Iran.
Ryan Reynolds
They would not agree to it.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. I mean, there's other factions out there that are going to say, yeah, we're not going to do that.
Pat Gray
Right.
Ryan Reynolds
And we've said whoever is the first to win the AI race basically wins the world. So who's going to pull back on that?
Glenn Beck
Right.
Ryan Reynolds
And how could you trust your adversary? Say, oh, yeah, totally, we're going to pull back on that. We're not going to pursue this. Trust us, no problem. Yeah. I don't know. I think it's. It's opportunity for very, very exciting things like we're already seeing.
Pat Gray
Yeah, for sure. And it's really handy and it's fun. It's fun to use. I like having conversations with it because it's really interesting. And it's hard to believe that a computer can do that with, you know, save human lives.
Glenn Beck
At least in the beginning we'll see.
Ryan Reynolds
Human life, medical advancements. I mean, just look at that. That's already happening.
Pat Gray
New prescriptions, new drugs specifically for you.
Glenn Beck
Specifically made for you.
Pat Gray
Right.
Glenn Beck
You know, that's incredible.
Pat Gray
I don't think it can do that yet. Right. We haven't seen it do that. But Elon said by the end of the year that was really possible and probable with Grok 4.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, yeah, I agreed. I just. Sorry, Pat. I couldn't get past how, you know, you mentioned new drugs and then Pat immediately passed it off onto you as if he wasn't thinking about something else. Right, yeah. Look at Pat, you know, like you.
Glenn Beck
Can get some drugs typically made for you.
Ryan Reynolds
Meanwhile, he's pulling up GPT5.
Glenn Beck
How can I combine heroin and you can't prove that. Don't be looking at my search history.
Pat Gray
All right, we got more coming up in one minute. Before there was a church, there was Israel. And before there were letters from Paul or the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, there was the Torah, the Psalms and the prophets. The roots of our twin faiths run through the same soil, drawing life from the same God who called Abraham, led Moses and crowned King David as Christians. Our story didn't begin in Bethlehem. It began in Jerusalem, in the promises God made to his people. That makes the Jewish people our family, not just in history, but in spirit. And in a time when Israel faces the danger, the fear, the loss that they face. It's not Enough for us to simply acknowledge that that connection, we're called to live it. The International fellowship of Christians and Jews gives us a way to do that. Through them, we can shine the light of God's love into bomb shelters, into hospital rooms, and into the lives of families who wonder if the world still cares. We can help provide food, medicine, rescue and hope not as strangers offering charity, but as brothers and sisters. To learn more about how you can help, visit ifcj.org that's ifcj.org 10 seconds. Station ID so Jason, how far are we then from the, you know, from going to the. What is it? AGI and then the. Is it as I. Yeah, how, how, how far do they think that that is away from us now?
Ryan Reynolds
Well, according to this, according to AI, 2027, you're pretty much there in 2027 for AG. Everything years, two years then.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I mean it's a year now.
Ryan Reynolds
But the scary thing is they can't really, it's hard for them to quantify because they're making such rapid advances in it.
Pat Gray
In other words, we might be pretty much there almost now.
Ryan Reynolds
Could be now like, like on a computer somewhere at OpenAI or, you know, at X or who knows where. They might even have a working model. I would not be surprised if they did.
Pat Gray
And who knows what the military is doing because they're not going to tell us about how advanced their system is.
Ryan Reynolds
Right, that's where, yeah, that's where we really start getting into. Well, there's multiple dangerous territories. But I mean you look at, look at a company like Palantir, right, Something like that, where the whole point is to use AI, to use autonomous systems in ways that we're already seeing in places like Ukraine. I mean, have you seen like what's happening in the Ukraine war, Ukraine, Russia war with their drone technology?
Pat Gray
It's incredible.
Ryan Reynolds
They're integrating non stop.
Pat Gray
Right?
Ryan Reynolds
You can't even. I was just watching a video before I walked in here how they had basically kind of like it was a drone aircraft carrier but on land. So it's got four wheels, it goes out into the battlefield because you can't have a human walk out there. It's more dangerous. And they had like six drones mounted onto it. So it would go out there, the drones would lift off and then they would take off and then hit their targets.
Pat Gray
Incredible.
Glenn Beck
And we're not talking about like delivery drones that we get our Amazon packages from. I mean these are.
Pat Gray
No, these are high tech drones.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, high.
Pat Gray
High tech and dangerous and like lethal.
Ryan Reynolds
Right. With Low cost. Yeah, because you can, you can spend a few hundred dollars. The drones that Ukraine used to like, remember, they pre staged them inside Russia on like semi trucks.
Pat Gray
Yes.
Ryan Reynolds
Used them basically as an aircraft carrier.
Pat Gray
Israel did much the same thing with Iran.
Ryan Reynolds
Exactly. That is the future of warfare. But check this out. This is not something that you need to be a nation state to pull off. So you can imagine a terror group, you know, like Hezbollah or something like that, get a few drones operate. They operate autonomously. You could probably buy them just at Best Buy or something like that, upload your software onto them, pre stage them certain areas, and then just watch the chaos unfold as you let them go.
Pat Gray
You got to believe that, that our military minds are trying to come up with some way, seeing what's going on in Ukraine and Russia, some way to jam that technology or stop that technology somehow. Because otherwise the next war is going to be really ugly.
Glenn Beck
Well, and then for people. Right, but then we'll also have the capability to use robots as well, right?
Pat Gray
I don't know.
Glenn Beck
I guess we don't have to use humans because, I mean, we're developing, you know, China and the US are developing robotic robots for war right now. Yeah, I mean, I'm not talking about optimists that Elon wants to have, you know, 100,000 by next year. They're developing robots that are, you know, 5ft tall and, you know, about 120 pounds. And if you saw, you know, a few hundred thousand of those marching down the street, might not be good.
Pat Gray
Well, if they're like the ones that China had race against humans, they won't be that scary. They'll be falling over. You have to pick them up and put them back. That's not a problem. Don't worry about it. That'll never come to fruition. All right, triple eight, 727 Beck. More coming up.
Glenn Beck
This is Glenn Beck.
Pat Gray

You should check out my show Chewing the Fat, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher, available wherever you get your podcasts.
Pat Gray
It's Pat and Jeffy. And Jason joins us today for Glenn Troy Triple eight seven two seven. BECK A little bit of a concern is this virus that's spreading throughout China and the rest of the world right now. But this is interesting. It apparently isn't airborne from what I've read.
Ryan Reynolds
It is not. It just spreads through mosquito bites.
Pat Gray
Huh. Huh. So, okay, so there's they say there's 10,000 people with this disease, which is.
Glenn Beck
The in the one area.
Pat Gray
Chicken gunya fever. Chicken gunya, chumba wumba fever, whatever it is.
Glenn Beck
It's not a soup.
Pat Gray
It's not. And it's not. This isn't the band that did tub thumping then. Okay, so the chicken gunya, 10,000 people have it in China, 240,000 worldwide.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, 10,000 people have it in this one particular area. You know, they're saying, okay, they're reporting, last report, over 7,000. I saw a report the other day that talked about over 10,000 already. And they are obviously locking down this town in one province. But it is a lot wider spread than just there. The numbers were like 240,000 globally that have it.
Pat Gray
240,000.
Glenn Beck
And the last report I saw that the cases here in the United States of America were not that started here. They were people coming into the country from another country.
Pat Gray
But they do think it's already reached America. Dr. Louisa Messenger, a mosquito researcher in Nevada, love her, said this outbreak in China is very concern concerning it could already be here in the US and really it's just one plane flight away. So it doesn't matter though if a person who has the virus comes here on a plane, the mosquito would have to come with him. Right?
Glenn Beck
That's my understanding.
Pat Gray
If that's the only way it's spread is through a mosquito contact, then you got to get the mosquitoes that are causing this thing.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, this is the right of the mosquito borne virus circulating in China, specifically Chikunguya. There you go. It's not contagious from person to person through casual contact or bite. It is exclusively spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes.
Pat Gray
Why did this start all of a sudden from mosquito bites? What did they. Were they experimenting on mosquitoes in the lab and now they've been released.
Glenn Beck
So that's what I mean. So is it, is it a new version of Chikagunya that may spread from human to human? Once you get bitten by a mosquito.
Pat Gray
It'S the same species of mosquito that carries dengue and Zika. It's rarely fatal, but it can cause debilitating symptoms like fever, joint pain, and in severe cases, life threatening complications involving the heart and brain. Well, that's wonderful. That's rare though.
Ryan Reynolds
I'm looking at. It's a joint swelling, muscle pain that used to be called turning 40 in my day. Right. I feel that every day. Maybe I should get tested.
Glenn Beck
So some of us in the room may consider that life.
Pat Gray
Right.
Ryan Reynolds
But I mean, they're locking people down for this in China.
Pat Gray
I don't understand that.
Ryan Reynolds
Why would you do that if it's not contagious?
Pat Gray
Yeah, right. If I can't spread it to you, then there's no reason for a lockdown.
Glenn Beck
Let's kill the mosquitoes.
Pat Gray
Right? Kill the mosquitoes, which they're, you know.
Glenn Beck
They claiming they're doing. They're going around, you know, spraying everything to kill the mosquitoes. They're spraying people, all of it.
Pat Gray
And they're actually arresting some people who have standing water at their house.
Glenn Beck
The reports were, the friendly reports to this were. And they've locked down the city and they've made it known that people could get arrested if they are found going against some of the new rules. Yeah, they're dragging them out of their home. We found some standing water. You're going to jail.
Ryan Reynolds
These are, I mean, a massive social experiment occurred during COVID a massive one. And they knew that this was not like, you know, you know, weaponized Ebola. They knew that we did not have to lock down and do all the things that we did.
Pat Gray
Yeah, it's not smallpox. Right.
Ryan Reynolds
But when they saw that, all the data that they got from this little social experiment, when they saw what was happening in China, they could lock down entire areas. People would shut up and do it. Then they did that here. They could actually go as far as shutting down a place of worship and telling people that were in a parking lot that they could not pray from their freaking cars.
Glenn Beck
And you would do it and then you would. Prior to that, that we would have sworn they couldn't have done that here.
Ryan Reynolds
Yep.
Glenn Beck
And we did. And we did say there's no.
Pat Gray
Unfortunately, there were people who resisted that and people who refused. There were. You know, we had that. The gym in New Jersey.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Pat Gray
They tried to lock them down.
Glenn Beck
Refused.
Pat Gray
They refused to be shut down. They kept going to the gym and opening it. Every day the government would put padlocks on it. They'd bring lock cutters and slice it back open and start again. I mean, pretty amazing. And very American.
Glenn Beck
Very American. Yeah, very American.
Ryan Reynolds
But I mean, what do they do, though, to keep. See, this is where my tinfoil hat comes on. Well, I see that in China where something like this happens. They know that locking people down is not going to stop the spread of a mosquito bit by virus. They know that, but they have to remind their people every once in a while. This is what we do.
Pat Gray
We're in control.
Ryan Reynolds
We're in control. And it doesn't matter if it's due to a virus or if it's a run on the banks or if it's geopolitical or pick a reason why the government would want to do this. They already have the procedures in place to get you into your home and lock you down and to tell you to do whatever is the heck they want to do. How long before those kind of practices become more common here in the United States under a scarier government? We're not going to hold power forever.
Pat Gray
That's right.
Ryan Reynolds
We're just not. I just saw there was a story. Did you see that? I think it was yesterday where Donald Trump was looking into. Or maybe he already did it, issuing an order to look into some of the banks that were debanking.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Conservative. That was one of the most important stories of the week, in my opinion, because we're not always going to have power. Things that happened during COVID where, you know, you said something so RFK Jr. The other day was talking about, you know, how they were canceling a lot of the contracts for the COVID MRNA vaccinations. Just saying something like that could have gotten you debanked. But this is. A head in the administration is saying this now freely. If we would have said that on the radio or on BlazeTV on any of our broadcasts, we could have gotten debanked. We probably would have gotten deplatformed and shut up completely.
Glenn Beck
They certainly tried.
Pat Gray
Well, Trump says that JPMorgan Chase did discriminate against him. And so I mean, it was what, it was the actions of JP Morgan Chase that caused me. It was one of the many reasons that I took all my money out of JP Morgan Chase, took it out and went with a local bank. I mean, it was one of the many reasons I didn't like their policies. But also they were offering zero interest rate on CDs and savings accounts and there were local banks who were doing 5%. Well, that's huge. That's, that's a huge number. And they still call me every once in a while trying to get me back, but I won't because of their policies. I'm not going to do it. And so you can go ahead and debank people if you want. I'm not going to be a part of that. Not going to do it. So yeah, there is that aspect of this that's going on that's a little bit chilling. Yeah. You wouldn't have expected it from American institutions. And yet here we are.
Glenn Beck
And yet here we are.
Pat Gray
Here we are. As far as this virus though, it looks like it is spread to Madagascar, Somalia, Kenya and India. It's making its way into Europe, but also there's a Samoa, Tonga, French Polynesia, Fiji and Kiribati. So 240,000 cases and 90 deaths. So that's a pretty, it's a pretty low death rate. I mean, if anybody dies, it's not good. But 90 out of 240,000. So that's, it's a small percentage smaller. Certainly a lot smaller than, than Covid.
Glenn Beck
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pat Gray
So the U.S. cDC reports.
Glenn Beck
We still have to worry about mosquitoes anyway here. I mean we are always getting reports of mosquito borne diseases.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Every year.
Pat Gray
We had the Zika thing for a while talking about in historical over.
Glenn Beck
You know, you just got to make sure that you don't, you know, you don't have the standing water around your house. You're not giving, you know, places for them to breed and do the best you can to keep it in check.
Pat Gray
Yeah. The CDC is saying 46 cases here and none of them came from here.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Pat Gray
No deaths and none of them originated in the United States. So it's kind of weird. Why, why are the mosquitoes in these other countries carrying this disease now all of a sudden?
Glenn Beck
It's almost like maybe somebody was testing something.
Pat Gray
It's almost like that, isn't it?
Glenn Beck
It is almost like that.
Pat Gray
In fact, I'm guessing it is that. It's not just like, is that Very thing.
Glenn Beck
Whatever you say. Okay.
Pat Gray
I mean, I know we're getting into conspiratorial territory there. It's ridiculous to think such a thing because certainly China wouldn't start this in a lab.
Glenn Beck
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
Ryan Reynolds
Next thing you're gonna say is that we probably funded part of it. That would be ridiculous.
Pat Gray
What a conspiracy nut job. All right. Triple eight, 727. Becky, have you ever noticed how when you were a kid, falling asleep was easy? You could do it in the backseat of a car.

Glenn Beck
What you're hearing are your thoughts via the mind and mouth of Glenn Beck. More next.
Pat Gray
That and Jeffy for Glenn Today. Also joined by Jason Butrell for Glenn Today. If you want a really good indication of why Stephen Colbert has been cancelled, we have a really good example of it. He was talking about RFK Jr. And this will solidify in your mind why this guy was canceled and. But he still has another 10 months to. To continue his reign of terror.
Glenn Beck
Do we know writers are still there?
Pat Gray
200 writers still there.
Glenn Beck
The entire show is there.
Pat Gray
Still. The whole show's still there. And it's still not funny and it's still not good, but he's still churning out this kind of slope. There's bad news of fans of living.
Glenn Beck
Because Health Secretary RFK Jr. Just pulled.
Pat Gray
$500 million in funding for vaccine development. Now we have 10 more months of this show and I want to give a measured, nonpartisan response here. Watch this. You You Royd Adams. Oh, is that funny? Oh, wow. That's good material right there. Now 200 writers is all it took to come up with that. That's not bad, huh?
Glenn Beck
Specifically.
Pat Gray
Huh?
Glenn Beck
He loves himself so much.
Pat Gray
Oh, my gosh.
Glenn Beck
Specifically. Bobby Jr. Is nixing 22 projects that use MRNA technology. But that's the latest vaccine technology.
Pat Gray
That's like saying, kids, I'm turning off the gps.
Glenn Beck
We're going to make our way to.
Pat Gray
Six Flags by using the stars. Hand daddy the sextant. Some serious comedy.
Glenn Beck
Crank down windows in daddy's car.
Pat Gray
Now. Yesterday, RFK Jr tried to defend the incident from defensible. Most of these shots are for flu or Covid, but as the pandemic showed us, MRNA vaccines don't perform well against viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract. Counterpoint you, you roadkill, munching red eyed human. Slim Jim.
Glenn Beck
He doesn't actually have any argument, any stats, anything. Cut. I cut Junior off. Why would you say that MRNA vaccines.
Pat Gray
Don'T perform well against upper repertory infections? The National Institutes of Health said they Prevented an estimated 14.4 million deaths. Right. That's garbage.
Glenn Beck
That is garbage.
Pat Gray
Why on Earth is RFK Jr. So anxious to fill our streets with dead bodies? These are my two ravens.
Glenn Beck
All right, I forgot. So you're sure all 200 writers worked out?
Pat Gray
You can tell. Experts say mRNA vaccines are safe. And a University of Minnesota professor of infectious diseases pandemic preparation said, I don't think I've seen a more dangerous decision.
Glenn Beck
In public health in my 50 years in the business. Fifty years ago, the base of the food pyramid was menthol cigarettes.
Pat Gray
Oh, man. Oh, just agonizing. Isn't that. It's just agonizing.
Glenn Beck
I just sit through this for 10 months.
Pat Gray
I mean, let's. Let's just set aside any of the side effects that we now are pretty convinced came from the vaccine. It was ineffective at best.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, at best, you could take.
Pat Gray
You could take every shot that they recommended that you get and you still get the disease. You still get. Covid.
Glenn Beck
I mean, still didn't went from, you're not going to get it, you're not going to pass it to. Well, you won't get it as bad.
Pat Gray
Oh, I'll never forget the drawdown from 94%, which they said initially it's 94, 95% effective. You won't get it if you get the. If you get the vaccine, you're not gonna get the virus. And then they brought it down. Oh, well, maybe not 94, 95%. Maybe more like 87, then it was 80, then it was 70, then it was 40, then it was 33. Okay. You're gonna get it no matter what. It'll make it less bad.
Glenn Beck
It'll make it less bad.
Ryan Reynolds
They need to take these talk shows out of either. If they're not going to take them out of LA or New York, they at least need to take out the studio audience because they're playing specifically to those local populaces. That's it. Like if you live in la, you know you're behind an iron curtain. There's only one perspective and that's it. And that's what they are telling jokes towards. Yeah, you need to put, you need to have like a new guy. I don't know who it would be. Put them somewhere in middle of America then have a studio audience that the. The late show would complete resurgence. It would go gangbusters.
Pat Gray
Put him in Des Moines, Iowa.
Ryan Reynolds
Oh my gosh. Can you imagine though? I mean seriously.
Pat Gray
Yeah, it would be great.
Glenn Beck
Great.
Pat Gray
It would.
Glenn Beck
Des Moines tonight. I love it.
Pat Gray
I mean that is. Well, that's why he's been canceled.
Glenn Beck
Yes, yes.
Pat Gray
That's why he's losing 40 or $50 million a year.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Pat Gray
Because he sucks.
Glenn Beck
This is Glenn Beck.
Pat Gray
If you're like me and you believe wholeheartedly in the second amendment but you really don't love the idea of actually killing someone if it can be avoided, the Burner launcher might be just the thing you need.

The dark on every side Stand your ground when times get down Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire, the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Glenn Beck
This. This is the Glenn Beck program.
Pat Gray
And welcome to it. All right, we got to get into this marital aid situation.
Glenn Beck
Oh, so you have to be married to have one now. Okay, whatever you say. Whatever you say.
Pat Gray
Yes, Don Jr. Posted something quite, quite interesting. Yeah. Yesterday.
Glenn Beck
It's kind of fun.
Pat Gray
We'll get into that. But have you ever noticed how your pain doesn't care what you have planned? It's really rude. Really rude. It doesn't check your calendar. It doesn't wait for a slow week. It just shows up in the middle of a work deadline on vacation right before that big family event. And it demands your full attention.

So Donald, Donald Trump Jr. Yesterday raised a few eyebrows after he posted a photoshopped image of his dad you might recognize as the President of the United States throwing a. We'll call it a marital. Marital aid off of the roof of the White House.
Glenn Beck
How dare he.
Pat Gray
Because he was up there.
Glenn Beck
How dare he.
Pat Gray
So you had that going and then Donald Trump photoshopped a little marital aid being tossed off the roof and underneath, at the bottom of the. Where the grass would have been at the White House, they put a WNBA basketball court.
Glenn Beck
I mean, the more they keep complaining about it and saying how horrific it is.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
The more it's going to happen.
Pat Gray
That's true.
Glenn Beck
Okay. That is true. Just stop talking about it. The press keeps asking about it. The WNBA who is, you know, really, Jason Whitlock is 100% correct. They're the most unlikable league and people in the planet, let alone the U.S. yes, but just say no comment. No I don't want to throw things on the court players to get hurt, but it's funny to me and it's gonna continue to happen. If you keep telling people that it's misogynistic and it's horrible and it's just. And for the last round that I read is the players are commenting about it, particularly including the high prevalence of players who are in the LGBT community. This further pushes the misogynistic and heteronormative narratives. Insults. And I'm like, shut up. Shut up. I wish I knew what the bit was, though. I wanted to. I've read stories about the sub cryptocurrency company and something, but I don't know what.
Pat Gray
Cryptocurrency?
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I. I don't know path what I'm saying. I don't know the bit.
Pat Gray
Huh.
Glenn Beck
I wish I don't either. I wish I understood the bit of why they're doing it. I mean, I understand. What. Well, it's a. It's a. It's an. It's an aid. You don't have to be married. That's going to get a marital. Yeah, as far as I know. You don't have to be married.
Pat Gray
Sex toy. Is that better? Do you do that better?
Glenn Beck
Yeah, that's fine. And so I just wish I understood what the, you know, why it's supposed. Why it's supposed to be funny. Because it's not. It's not.
Ryan Reynolds
No, no, not at all.
Glenn Beck
No at all.
Ryan Reynolds
I mean, there are arresting people and.
Glenn Beck
There'S a guy got arrested.
Ryan Reynolds
There's even a bigger operation. Like there's. So they're trying to do this and we're not even even seeing it in some of these. This one's the one they arrested. It was a fan in Georgia. This just kind of cracked me up because, I mean, it didn't crack me up because this is not funny.
Pat Gray
Thank you.
Glenn Beck
Thank you.
Pat Gray
Thank you for that correction.
Ryan Reynolds
It's not funny. And this paragraph I'm gonna read is not funny at all, guys, so don't laugh.
Glenn Beck
This is the kid with the long black hair. Is this the kid they arrested?
Ryan Reynolds
I didn't describe him, but listen to this. Of what happened. Fannon, Georgia, was arrested earlier this week for his role in the previous incident. And in Phoenix, authorities arrested an 18 year old man for attempting to throw a marital aid onto the court, which struck a man and his niece who are at the game. Okay, that's not funny to me at all.
Pat Gray
That's funny.
Ryan Reynolds
Struck a poor man and his niece. So there was Some ricochet action.
Pat Gray
They were critically injured. Were. Did. They would. Were they taken to the emergency room afterward?
Ryan Reynolds
Does not say in this report, but I'm sure that.
Pat Gray
That probably.
Glenn Beck
I'll tell you what. If I get hit by one of those bad, bad boys at a wnba, somebody's paying me some money.
Ryan Reynolds
That's some velocity, too. Yeah, a shade off the man. And it went to his niece at the same time.
Glenn Beck
Oh, wow, that's.
Ryan Reynolds
So. That's an ar.
Glenn Beck
No, honey, this is not the one your aunt had. Anyway, go ahead.
Ryan Reynolds
That's the end of the report. I do love the fact that you can now bet on this.
Pat Gray
There are.
Ryan Reynolds
You know, you can go to bet online right now and you can make a bet onto it. Would you like to know the betting odds for the color of.
Glenn Beck
It's happened like five times now. Right. And I think one of them weren't neon green. I think one of them wasn't neon green.
Ryan Reynolds
Would you like to guess on. So we have. We have odds on which color, and we also have odds on how many.
Glenn Beck
Okay. Green's got to be.
Ryan Reynolds
I think that's the top one, Pat.
Pat Gray
Yeah, Green.
Ryan Reynolds
Okay. You're both correct. That is the best everyone is predicting and putting bets down that green.
Glenn Beck
Now's a good time to invest in the neon green marital aid company, I'll tell you that.
Ryan Reynolds
It's a minus 150 for betting on green. It's plus 200 for purple.
Pat Gray
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds
Plus 400 for blue. Then it goes down to pink, red, black, brown. And the final one at +700 is white/ Caucasian.
Glenn Beck
That's not outside bet. What's an outside bet?
Pat Gray
What's to stop someone from betting on white and then taking a white one of those and throw it on the floor at the game?
Ryan Reynolds
That's true. It's.
Glenn Beck
It's rigged.
Pat Gray
This is rigged.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Wow. I mean, it's just my. My favorite part of it now is the. Is the Don Jr. Post. I mean, I don't know that he needs to be doing that for the President of the United States, but it's funny, but I like, you know, every. Every night now, I see giant memes of giant shadows coming over the stadium that the WNBA game is playing. Semi trucks parked at gas stations close to the stadium hauling in a giant. It's just. It's just funny to me. And if they.
Pat Gray
It's not funny.
Ryan Reynolds
Not at all.
Pat Gray
You mean it's not funny. That's what you're meant to say, right? It's just not funny.
Glenn Beck
Not funny.
Pat Gray
This is not A good thing. Don't be doing this.
Ryan Reynolds
And for the love of God, don't let it ricochet onto some poor guy.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
No, don't do that again. I don't want anyone to get hurt. I don't want a player to trip on court and get hurt. I don't want that. But the more they. The more this unlikable league tells you how horrible you are for doing it, it's going to be done.
Pat Gray
The more people are going to want to do it. That's true. Here's one of the coaches, the coach of the Links. So I don't. I don't know what team that is, do you. Are you familiar enough with the WNBA to know which team goes by the Links?
Glenn Beck
I want to tell you this. I want to tell you the name so bad, but I don't know.
Ryan Reynolds
Do we have one in dfw? I don't even.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, we do have dfw.
Pat Gray
Yeah, we do. And their name is the Dallas Bears.
Glenn Beck
No, it's not the Bears. It's not the Bears.
Pat Gray
I don't know what they are.
Glenn Beck
I'll find out.
Pat Gray
I don't know because it's not a real league and everybody knows that. And so. So nobody knows. Nobody knows what the Links might be. Minnesota, I don't know. But here's the coach, Cheryl Reeve. She's upset. She's mad about this. This is not a laughing matter to her.
Glenn Beck
No, it is.
Pat Gray
I'll tell you that right now.
Glenn Beck
That is for sure.
Pat Gray
Things onto the court. Obviously, you guys know what the object is. Yeah, we do want to comment on. This has been going on for centuries. For just a sec. Wait. People have been throwing these sex toys on to WNBA courts for centuries?
Glenn Beck
Yeah, even before the game started. It was actually.
Pat Gray
That was actually what goes back to the 1600s. I didn't realize that. It's been going on for centuries. She's gonna make this a bigger issue. And here she is. This has been going on for centuries.
Glenn Beck
The sexualization.
Pat Gray
Sexualization of that. And it's not fun in Prince. The sexualization of women is what's used.
Glenn Beck
To hold women down.
Pat Gray
This is no different.
Glenn Beck
This is just a great experience. We should write about it in that way.
Ryan Reynolds
And these people that are doing this.
Pat Gray
Should be held accountable.
Glenn Beck
Now, there was a great meme last night with that interview that had one of the microphones looking like one of the. Yeah, that's wrong.
Pat Gray
That's. The whole thing's wrong.
Glenn Beck
Jeffy over there.
Pat Gray
Okay? I can't tolerate it. I'm gonna make an Offer you can't refuse. You throw this on the court of. Gonna break your face. Okay. I'm gonna break your entire face. I'm gonna hit you, hit you so hard your whole grandchildren will be born dizzy over there, okay? It ain't funny. It's been going on for centuries and I'm gonna put a stop to it.
Glenn Beck
Thank you, buddy. Thank you. Thank you. Head coach of the Minnesota Links.
Pat Gray
Minnesota.
Glenn Beck
It is the Minnesota. Everyone knows the Fever. Indiana. I mean, that's Caleb. Jalen Clark's team.
Pat Gray
Right.
Glenn Beck
The Dallas team is the Dallas Wings.
Pat Gray
I was just going to say, of course. The world renowned, highly acclaimed Dallas Wings.
Ryan Reynolds
12Th in the WNBA.
Pat Gray
12 now.
Glenn Beck
That's correct.
Pat Gray
The Dallas Wings.
Ryan Reynolds
Which means there's 12 plus teams.
Pat Gray
Who knew? Huh? Who knew there was more than like two play each other every night?
Glenn Beck
I think the Connecticut sun just sold reportedly for one of the highest points prices ever. It was like 300 million or something. The guy's going to buy it and move it to Boston. That's what I heard.
Pat Gray
Really?
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And they're still. They've got two new, two or three, maybe more other cities that are going to have new WNBA teams as well.
Pat Gray
Is there a single team that makes money? Because this team I'm aware of loses tens of millions every year.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Why don't you pay us what you owe us? Okay.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
We'll worry about making money.
Pat Gray
If we're going to pay what you're worth, we're gonna pay you about 350 an hour. Is that what you want?
Glenn Beck
Yeah. That one interview with what's her name? She just Taraso. She's one of the best players they have ever heard.
Pat Gray
Diana Taraso.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Yeah. And she did an interview and talked about how she had to play Russia every year.
Pat Gray
Yeah. To make ends meet.
Glenn Beck
She's making money. Well, here's my thought to that, and I mean this sincerely. Why did she have to come back and play in the wild if she was making so much money in Russia? Why couldn't she just play in Russia and then come back here and.
Pat Gray
It's a good question.
Glenn Beck
Play. I mean, I don't know. Honestly, I don't know.
Pat Gray
That's what what's her face did and got her arrested. Right, right.
Glenn Beck
And many players do.
Pat Gray
Brittney Griner.
Glenn Beck
Many players do. Because Terrasso said the janitor makes more money than we make. We'll apply for that job then.
Pat Gray
Right.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Pat Gray
Right.
Glenn Beck
Go ahead.
Pat Gray
Or here's an idea. Work at a profession that makes money.
Glenn Beck
And then, I mean, the Jenner is actually doing something at the arena.
Pat Gray
Yeah, right. Something that people want to watch. He's sweeping up afterward, people like that.
Glenn Beck
I mean, he's providing a service that people want. Start providing a service people want.
Pat Gray
You know, when the NBA makes $11.9 billion and the WNBA makes, I think last year, 200 million only because of Caitlin Clark, they usually make about 40 to 50 million and they still lost 40 million. When that's the case, you're not going to be paid what the men are paid.
Glenn Beck
Correct.
Pat Gray
That's not going to happen. Going to happen.
Glenn Beck
It just isn't.
Pat Gray
And you can complain and whine and cry about it all you want. It's not going to change reality. And the reality is that you have to bring in revenue to get paid what you think you're worth.
Glenn Beck
And for years, the WNBA players weren't making the money that they make now. I mean, that's been a gradual thing because they grown their product.
Pat Gray
If Glenn show was losing $40 million a year, would he still be on the air?
Glenn Beck
I don't think so.
Pat Gray
Well, you know, not. He would not be on the air.
Glenn Beck
I mean, all of his 200, 300, 400, 500 writers, how many ever writers he has for this stupid show would be out of work as well.
Pat Gray
That's right. That is exactly right. So you've got to produce in order to make the kind of money you want to make. Right. Jason's mad now because he's one of those people.
Glenn Beck
He represents a hundred writers Right now.
Ryan Reynolds
I want to know how you can sell a team for $300 million when you have no other revenue besides, like, you're not. You're not relying on people buying tickets. There's like 10 people probably showing up to those games. That's a hell of an expensive ticket.
Pat Gray
More than 10.
Ryan Reynolds
When Caitlin comes to town, like 30 million per ticket.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
That's how much it costs to attend.
Pat Gray
One of these games.
Glenn Beck
They move. A lot of these teams play in smaller arenas. Unless Caitlyn comes to town and then they move to a larger arena.
Pat Gray
That's what the Dallas Wings do. Right. When. When they're. When Caitlin Clark's team is not in town, they play at some small little arena. Yes, I think seats 3,000 people or something, I don't know. But then when Caitlin Clark comes to.
Glenn Beck
Town, they go to AA.
Pat Gray
They go to the American Airlines center, which seats 28 or 18. 18.
Glenn Beck
How that works. And they hate her for that. They hate her for that.
Pat Gray
They hate her. Yep.
Ryan Reynolds
Caitlin Clark. I actually, I kind of get The. You know, just to see what she'll do. I've seen, like, clips of her where she's making, like, five back to back three pointers. That's exciting.
Pat Gray
It is.
Ryan Reynolds
But when your entire, like, you have these entire media campaigns on and change the game and all these different WNBA players, then you'll see clips of them. Well, they'll go literally five minutes without going. Without making a shot.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
With just. Terrible, Terrible. It's bad.
Pat Gray
It's really bad.
Ryan Reynolds
But if you had, you know, 20 more Caitlin Clarks. Yes, something like that. But you need. You need the talent, and you need the. The kind of, like, generational, you know, shift.
Glenn Beck
You would get that if you embraced Caitlin because more people would want to. I mean, she. The people that are coming in are saying, yeah, little girls, Caitlin, we want.
Pat Gray
We want to play that. They want to do that to see.
Glenn Beck
How she gets treated. Why would you want to do that?
Pat Gray
Right. Yeah, it's really. It's a shame.
Glenn Beck
It is.
Pat Gray
All right. Triple eight, seven, two, seven. Beck. More coming up. You know, the real estate market speaks its own very unique language. There's terms you've never heard, deadlines that arrive faster than you think, and strategies that can mean the difference between getting the house you want or watching someone else move in. And if you don't speak that language, you need someone who does. Someone who can translate, negotiate, and navigate every turn with confidence. That's why Glenn started real estate agents. I trust. We've built a network of the best agents in the country, people who understand the market, people who know how to position a sale or a purchase, and who have vetted. They've been vetted both for both skill and character. So this is about who can get you the best possible outcome without compromising integrity. When you're making one of the biggest decisions, the biggest financial decisions of your life, you don't want to hope you choose the right agent. You want to know. Real estate agents I trust. It's where expertise meets practice and where your next big move is the. In the best possible hands. Go to realestate agentsitrust.com that's realestate agentsitrust.com free service that we provide to you. 10 seconds. Station ID yeah. All right, Pat and Jeffy and Jason for Glenn today. Have you ever even been. I know you've seen him on tv. Have you been to a WNBA game? You seem to be a big advocate now because you like Caitlin Clark.
Glenn Beck
I like Caitlin Clark.
Pat Gray
But you've never been to a game.
Glenn Beck
She dragged me in. I like Caitlin. And then. I have not been to an actual game, though. No. Not a real game. I've watched them on television. I. I am. I have watched them entire games.
Pat Gray
I don't want to hear it now. I don't want to hear it. Unless you've been to an arena and actually paid fan money to be there, I don't want to hear it.
Glenn Beck
I have not. But if I could make some money betting on throwing something on the court, I may go.
Ryan Reynolds
Right. Plus, when it's so obviously rigged, you can just throw down as much money as you want, go there and then do it. Just like Pat outlined.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
That's kind of a win in my book.
Pat Gray
That's a big win.
Glenn Beck
Well, Pat, because if they arrest you, you won't be. They're gonna. They said that you. We won't be able to go to any more WNBA games.
Pat Gray
Oh, no. What a shame. But if I put down 700 to 1 odds and I bet because I know I'm gonna do it, so I put down.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, you got to get it in. $5,000. Looking for it now. You got to think about it. Yeah. I mean, it's actually going to take some work to get it in, because they're looking for it. They're. They're. Some of the stadiums were saying no bags. You know, they weren't letting people bring in bags.
Pat Gray
Yeah. So if you don't get in there and.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Pat Gray
With the.
Glenn Beck
Right. You got to get.
Pat Gray
Then be able to throw it on the floor. That would be bad.
Glenn Beck
I mean, I've thought of a couple of ways of doing it already off the top of my head. What I'm just saying is it's possible.
Ryan Reynolds
It's. It's +700 for Caucasian, by the way. I just wanted to make that. That clarification.
Pat Gray
Okay. Plus seven. That's 700 to 1, right?
Ryan Reynolds
701.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. See?
Pat Gray
Wow.
Glenn Beck
I know, right?
Pat Gray
I mean, come on. Put down a thousand.
Glenn Beck
All right.
Pat Gray
Put down 5,000.
Glenn Beck
It'd be worth it.
Pat Gray
Put down 20. Clean out your bank account. Put it all on that, and then just make sure you get that thing in the arena. No, I would never do that. It would be wrong. Yes, it would be wrong. Don't do this. But I'm just saying if someone were.
Glenn Beck
Going to do it, that would be a good way to do it. Go about it.
Pat Gray
Yeah. Right. To make some money.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
I have never been either to one of the games, but it kind of. I'm surprised because it hasn't. It solves my issue with professional Sporting games. I don't like to go anymore because of the parking is a mess.
Pat Gray
Yeah, and it's expensive.
Glenn Beck
Fortune.
Ryan Reynolds
It's expensive. And it's just a pain in the butt getting in and out with all the people. WNBA solves all those issues. Plenty of parking, no hustle and bustle and cheap tickets. Why are we not going again? Who cares if the product sucks? It's stress free.
Glenn Beck
Dinner, fans, entertainment. Stress free entertainment.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
And who knows? Maybe something neon green will be thrown around.
Pat Gray
You never know.
Glenn Beck
You never know.
Pat Gray
You sure hope not. Because you'd hate to see that. You'd hate to see it.
Glenn Beck
But we don't want that to happen. No, we're gonna fight against it, I'll tell you that.
Pat Gray
You'll have to answer to coach Cheryl Reeve over there. You want to, want to do that?
Ryan Reynolds
If you want to give into centuries of oppression, then thank you.
Pat Gray
All right.
Glenn Beck
That's just silly.
Pat Gray
Triple eight. 727. Beck. More coming up.
Glenn Beck
This is Glenn Beck.
Pat Gray
Let me tell you about Lear Capital. When it comes to money, I like the things that I can see and touch and hold in my hand. What you can't ever do with digital currency is just that. You can't really do that with stocks on a screen. Or even that 401k balance that looks great until the market drops 900 points in a single day. Your retirement plan exists entirely in a world of zeros and ones. You might want to think about hedging that with something real, something that has been a store of value for thousands of years. And right now, with interest rates, inflation and global tensions all fluctuating at once, there has never been a smarter time to call Lear Capital and ask about your physical precious metals. Ira, if you've been thinking about making a move, don't wait for the next crisis to force your hand. Get some stability in place now with Lear Capital. Call Lear capital today at 800-957-Gold. Get your free $4200 gold report. And when you call 800-957-GOLD, ask about getting up to 15,000 doll gold or silver with a qualifying purchase. Call now, 800-957-Gold. 800, 957 Gold. Lear Capital. Pat and Jeffy with Jason Butrell for Glenn today. 888, 727. Becky, some cool space news. We got this from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. He said that we're announcing expedited plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon.
Glenn Beck
Good luck with that.
Pat Gray
It's not gonna happen.
Glenn Beck
Good luck with that.
Pat Gray
It just. Don't get excited. It's not gonna happen, I don't think, you know, maybe they can make it happen. I don't know. We just don't seem to be able to even get to the moon, let alone build a nuclear struggling landing there. Yeah, we can't do it. Well, how is this possible? We did it 56 years ago and we can't do it again. Yes, we did.
Glenn Beck
Okay, yes we did. Whatever you say.
Pat Gray
Yes, I do say we did because. Only because we did. But that's the only reason I say that.
Glenn Beck
I'm not, I'm not fighting with you. I'm just asking a question. Asking a question.
Ryan Reynolds
What would even be the purpose for something like that?
Pat Gray
I don't, I think the purpose is to get us to Mars.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I mean, they want it, they want to build on a launching zone from the moon. So they want, so we'll be able to leave here, go to the moon, load up, have energy, have power, have, you know, whatever we need, and then we go to the, Go to Mars from there.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
And so, you know, you need. All of that would be our launching pad. And we'd need some kind of infrastructure to make that happen, happen. Which, you know what, sounds great in theory.
Pat Gray
Now, I don't know if they would also produce Earth energy from the moon and beam it back to us. I don't know if that's part of the plan.
Glenn Beck
I mean, if they could make that happen, I guess, I mean, it'd be. There's a lot. That's a long power cord.
Pat Gray
Yeah, that's a long power cord. It is.
Ryan Reynolds
Have you guys seen that? I think it was, what was it? Maybe Apple plus, but it was that series for all mankind. Chelsea.
Pat Gray
I have, I, I have not seen it. I've seen that it exists. I just haven't watched it.
Ryan Reynolds
Well, the, the premise is that the Soviet Union beats us to the moon. They actually land on it first and then it. So basically the space race never ends. And the one cool part about it is it shows how technology advances because of that, which is something that I think would be cool if we are focusing on getting back to the moon. And technology will make huge leaps and bounds to try and get there.
Glenn Beck
And that's why, what was so disappointing when we stopped our, the space race. Right when they just started pulling money from NASA and not investing in space.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
And so, you know, that's. People have made that argument forever, Pat, as one of them forever, that we lost that jump on technology because of that. Yeah. But there's you still have so much to do to make that even come close to happening. And we're not there.
Pat Gray
Well, not anymore.
Glenn Beck
We're just not there. I mean, right now we have Elon, who is helping NASA out. Take, you know, they take up rockets to the space station, pick up the trash and bring it back. That's about all they do. They do trash runs and drop off a few people there. India shoots some people up there. Right. And China shoots some people up there. I think China actually put a lander on the moon not too long ago.
Pat Gray
They did. On the other side of the moon.
Glenn Beck
On the other side, yeah. But the last couple tries of the lander that we tried, that we attempted to put on the moon from our end. I mean, the first try, the thing landed on its side and the camera was blocked. And the second try, they couldn't even get the full landing correct. So what are we doing? What are we doing?
Pat Gray
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how we lost the ability to go to the moon over the last 56 years.
Ryan Reynolds
Well, I think one of the problems is that actually going to the moon and developing technology stopped being the main focus for all mankind, actually, ironically goes into this. It stops being something cool about alternative history. And it starts going into how woke all the ideology advances, which is what happened. And it's. And it, yeah, it shifts into, well, let's have the first female president. Let's have the first black female on the moon. Let's have the first, you know, whatever pick, you know, intersectional thing. But that's exactly what happened. Yeah, like we. We did a special on Glenn's Wednesday night special show not too long ago where we were pulling out, like NASA's marketing strategy for getting back to the moon outreach. It was all just woke DEI crap. And it says, we will not have the first human back on the moon. I think it said we'll have the first woman of color on the moon.
Pat Gray
Oh, my gosh.
Ryan Reynolds
I'm serious. That's where it goes. So you have these idiot bureaucrats, these woke Columbia grads or whatever, that are interjecting themselves into actual science conversations, and they get all this stuff polluted into the middle of what could be a scientific discovery.
Pat Gray
And I don't care if the most qualified astronaut is a woman. That's fine, but that shouldn't be the goal. Just because it's a woman of color that she goes to the moon. I mean, can we get off of that track maybe? Please?
Glenn Beck
I mean, we've Got. We've got what? Gayle King. Katie Gayle King is woman of color. I was thinking she's a woman. Katy Perry.
Pat Gray
No color there. No color.
Glenn Beck
She's just pasty Katy Perry.
Pat Gray
Katy Perry's pasty white person.
Glenn Beck
Lauren Sanchez, Personal color.
Pat Gray
Yeah, not really.
Glenn Beck
But they went up in the space, right?
Pat Gray
Yeah, they did.
Glenn Beck
They were there for us.
Pat Gray
They were there for what, 38 seconds or something? That's great. That's great.
Ryan Reynolds
I thought you were naming WNBA players for a second. I was kind of lost. Now I get where you're going with it.
Pat Gray
So the directive also orders NASA to designate a leader for the effort to get. Get industry input within 60 days.
Glenn Beck
Oh, wow.
Pat Gray
They're trying to kick this timeline into gear. Now the agency is seeking companies able to launch a reactor by 2030. So that's around the time China intends to land its first astronaut.
Glenn Beck
There's one company in California that's building the mini reactors. Right. So they probably could. They're probably part of the government deal that can do. Maybe do it on the moon as well.
Pat Gray
I don't know. But if you're trying to get there by 2030 and we haven't even been able to.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, we can't get the mini reactors here. I'd rather. I want a mini reactor in my neighborhood.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Can I take a conspiracy break really quick?
Pat Gray
Sure.
Ryan Reynolds
Why is the year 2030 the target year for freaking.
Pat Gray
For everything.
Glenn Beck
I don't know, everything.
Ryan Reynolds
Globalists, UN, the green people. Everything is supposed to happen in EVs. All of it in 2030.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
Like, I don't know, like, maybe we should, like, take a step back and decide, you know, do some numerology or something and figure out what's going on about. Forget. Remember, like, the. The 2012 was supposed to be like. Or whatever was when the world's supposed to end.
Pat Gray
Well, that was because of the Mayan calendar.
Ryan Reynolds
What did the Mayans say about the year 2030? That's what I want to know.
Pat Gray
I think we're going to be dead.
Glenn Beck
I think they either stopped it because we were going to be dead, or the guy that made the calendars was like, I'm not making anymore.
Pat Gray
Just my hand is getting really sore. I'm not doing it anymore.
Glenn Beck
Killer. They're throwing people off the ledge over here. I'm done making the stupid calendars. Okay.
Pat Gray
All right. Now, you were talking about AI a while ago and some of the incredible advances that we've experienced. Well, there's a theoretical physicist and cosmologist, Lawrence Krauss, who Says artificial intelligence is great at producing hyper, but he's not completely sold on its alleged potential. He's a renowned scientist who has taught at Arizona State, Yale and other universities. And he recently lamented how diversity, equity and inclusion has stifled scientific progression and more generally, scientific excellence. He said that the perception that AI will spawn a global reckoning and what he sees as the true concerns about the technology. Getting to the truth, he says, means one has to cut through the hype. Every new development has risks and benefits and we have to think carefully about what those are. He said. I'm not as concerned as some people are, but partly because I think that AI is neither artificial nor intelligent at this point. And I think we're a long way from artificial general. General intelligence. That seems to go against what the chat GPT people think about their latest advance in that. Which is number five, right? This is chat GPT5.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Pat Gray
But he says we're not close to artificial general intelligence. That's interesting. That is going against the flow here.
Glenn Beck
That is. And that's. Well, I mean, that's what meta. That's what Zuckerberg is doing with the super intelligent labs at Meta. So. And, you know, I'm pretty sure Zuckerberg, that doesn't mean we have it though. It just means that he wants to get us there.
Pat Gray
Yeah, right.
Ryan Reynolds
I'm. Yeah, I think there's probably a lot. There probably are a lot of skeptics within the scientific community on, like, just how far we are, but I, I don't. He. He's definitely one of the lone voices at this point.
Pat Gray
I. Seems like it doesn't.
Glenn Beck
It.
Ryan Reynolds
It does. I remember hearing lots of people talk that way just a short amount of time ago, like go back two, three years, go back to when like GPT one or two were first coming out on the market and we were, you.
Pat Gray
Know, and it made all kinds of mistakes and it was just right half the time. Yeah, yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
It was still fun.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
But now when they're talking about, you know, having GPT5, you know, loaded on your phone is like having a handful of PhD level academics in your pocket.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
I, I think it's progressing so fast, and this may be even scarier is that the scientists now don't even really know what they're dealing with.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it's already out. I mean, it's out where they don't. Well, we don't know.
Ryan Reynolds
Unleashed might be a better way to describe that. It's. They don't know what they have.
Pat Gray
Unleashed. Unleashed.
Glenn Beck
I know. Oh, I know.
Pat Gray
That sounds familiar.
Glenn Beck
It does sound familiar.
Pat Gray
That's like Pat Gray was unleashed at some point.
Glenn Beck
I mean, look what happened. Speaking of super intelligence.
Pat Gray
Okay, thank you. Thank you for saying so. You're exactly right. All right. Triple eight, seven two, seven, Beck. More coming up in a minute. You know, the scariest crises often happen quickly and quietly, at least at first. A storm that changes course, a grid that goes down, a supply chain that suddenly isn't there anymore.

Glenn Beck
Truth makes the left so mad. And right about now, they're all losing their minds.
Pat Gray
We must be doing something right.
Glenn Beck
Stick around. Beck will continue right after this.
Pat Gray
Foreign Jeffy Jason joining us today for Glenn, who's a little bit under the weather today. Hopefully be back on Monday. So there's some breaking news on the military front today, right?
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, Blaze News just commented on this. There's also a New York Times article if you want to go there and read about it. The headline is Trump directs the military to target foreign drug cartels. The US Military officials have started drawing up options for how the military could go after some of these groups.
Pat Gray
Interesting. So using the actual going after Mexican drug cartels.
Ryan Reynolds
Yes. Which we have labeled as terrorists, terror organizations now.
Pat Gray
Right.
Ryan Reynolds
And that, that was one of the, one of the questions the New York Times was having was there's questions over whether this would be considered murder targeting some of these individuals. But they're, if they're identified as terror organizations, we can legally, under US Law, go after them.
Pat Gray
The only obstacle would seem to be their president. Claudia Sheinbaum has Said no to that. Right. To the allowing the US Military to cross across into Mexico and go after these cartels.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. And I mean, I would assume that this will vary from country to country as far as the, you know, the capabilities that they'll allow into their countries. I bet other places, places probably like Mexico, they'll probably be more of like an intelligence, you know, like identifying, using satellite technology, stuff like that. Maybe even, you know, human intelligence, stuff like that, to say this is where they are, this is where the person is, and then. And then green light. And then their president would green light their people. But, I mean, I'm being very, very optimistic with what Mexico will do. I mean, let's just be very, very, you know, as blunt as we can with this. There's no way and today's technology that the cartels in Mexico should have the power that they have. And unless they're getting government support, which.
Glenn Beck
We know they are way.
Pat Gray
Right, right.
Ryan Reynolds
I mean, you hear all the time that, yeah, the government, you know, Mexicans are, you know, cracking down on cartels. They're sending this high tech, you know, this famous general to go down and oversee the eradication of the cartels. And then three weeks later, you find out that generals on take from the cartels.
Pat Gray
Exactly.
Glenn Beck
He was busy eradicating another rival cartel.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Pat Gray
They're famous for doing that, though. They. They just pay the. The military that comes in to eradicate them and they give them more money, and pretty soon they're on the payroll of the cartels. I mean, that. That has happened over and over and over again.
Glenn Beck
And look, it's difficult to say no to the cartel. I mean, if you are. It is difficult to say no. Yes. Yes.
Pat Gray
Okay. All right.
Glenn Beck
Because if you say no, then, you know, you. You're not useful to them and you're.
Pat Gray
If you.
Glenn Beck
At least. If you say yes, you get a little cash and live good for a while.
Pat Gray
You still can't flush toilet paper down the toilet, but you're living high on the hog.
Glenn Beck
Other than that, not in Mexico. Right. Here's the thing, Claudia. We're coming in. Okay?
Pat Gray
Yeah. When you get your sewer system worked out, then you could tell us not to come in.
Glenn Beck
Kind of like Greenland. We're going to. We're just going to take it. Get over it.
Ryan Reynolds
The Army. This just in. Actually, the Army Corps of Engineers are going down to replace all the plumbing down in Mexico once and for all. We're tired of it every time we go down there on vacation.
Glenn Beck
That needs to happen while we're at it. We'll get rid of the cartel.
Pat Gray
I don't understand that. I really don't. I mean, for a. A country that's on the verge of first world status, okay, Mexico is. They're on the verge of it. Fix your sewer system. Make your water supply drinkable. You know, there's a couple of things that you should probably do with your infrastructure before anything else. Join us in the place first. First world.
Glenn Beck
Thank you.
Pat Gray
Be able to flush your toilets and drink your water.
Glenn Beck
Nobody. Nobody wants to save their used toilet paper.
Pat Gray
Okay?
Glenn Beck
Let's be clear about that. No one wants to do that.
Pat Gray
No one. I can't imagine you want to do that, but they have to do that. So it's kind of nasty.
Glenn Beck
So thanks for calling, Claudia, but we're.
Pat Gray
Coming in and it does sound like they're trying to clear the way for that.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, it sounds like it's not.
Pat Gray
It's.
Ryan Reynolds
It sounds like it's going to happen, so we'll see how in depth it gets.
Pat Gray
Interesting. All right. Hopefully Glenn will be better on and back on Monday. Have a great weekend. See you then.
Glenn Beck
This is Glenn Beck.
