You're right, Stu. Thank you very much. I, I just want everybody in Guam to. There is a quiet but incredibly powerful victory waiting out there. And it's, it's not going to come with big fanfare or the waving of flags or anything else. It'll be a note in the ledger of your financial life that is printed in bolded capital letters. High interest debt can be bent to your will. You can move beyond it to a life that's freer, happier, and more fiscally responsible for the future. American Financing sees this kind of thing every day because American Financing makes it happen every single day. And they meet with Americans just like you who are like, I'm in debt. I don't know how I, I mean, I do know how I got here. I couldn't afford food, so I had to put it on my credit card. They've seen this forever and they can help you give American Financing a call right now. You might be surprised at what options you didn't even know you had. From mortgage refis to accessing the high equity that you might have in your home to pay off the high interest debt. American Financing could be saving you hundreds of dollars a month, maybe as much as 1000. American Financing, 800-906-2440American Financing.net 800-906-2440 now back to the podcast. You're listening to the Best of the Glenn Beck Program. Several top officials, including the highest ranking legal officer at ActBlue, have reportedly jumped ship in recent weeks, while those who remain are allegedly stuck dealing with a culture of volatility and toxicity. In a letter to Act Blue's board of directors obtained by the New York Times, unions representing the group's workers identified seven officials who recently quit and stressed the alarming pattern of high level exits. Senior senior staff departures reportedly began on February 21, two weeks after the organization reportedly provided congressional investigators with an update regarding Act Blue security, their fraud prevention measures and related procedures. Act Blue, we have known is, I believe appears to be a money laundering system for the left, and there's a lot of money going through there. I don't know if any. If Doge is going to find any connections to Act Blue, but I wouldn't be surprised. Why are all these people leaving? Because they know this game is over. And that's why people are freaking out in Washington. They are freaking out in Washington because they know the game is over. Now, there are those people that are in the government that believe that they're doing the patriotic thing because they believe they know better than you, the people who elect presidents, or the president himself. You would not want this if it was your guy in office, right? Why wouldn't you want it? Why wouldn't you want a bunch of, let's say, Republicans that are in the deep state that didn't give a flying crap what Joe Biden said and wasn't executing his plan? Why wouldn't you like that? You wouldn't like that because that's not what the people voted for. The people voted for the President, not for these unelected bureaucrats that are faceless, nameless, and have complete control, apparently, over your country and your life. No, you wouldn't like it. And I talked to some people this weekend that are very upset about Zelinsky and how the president treated Zelinsky. You've got to watch the entire thing. People who are watching the clip to when the vice president steps in and says, hold on here. That's. That's where people start. That's not the beginning. There's 20 minutes prior to that where Donald Trump and JD Vance were trying to disarm Zelinsky, trying to get him to. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Not appropriate here. Stop. But it took him 20 minutes before JD Vance finally just snapped and said, stop it. So you have to inform yourself and not just the clips. I am. I'm a little uncomfortable by the way the tariffs are going with Canada and Mexico. Not so much Mexico, but definitely Canada. Mexico is just a. I'm sorry, but it's just an absolute corrupt country, and they've got to get control of those cartels, and we have to get control of those cartels as well and make sure we're not doing business with any of the cartels, which I'm not convinced we're not. But Canada is one of these countries. Come on. It's Canada. It's Canada. We've always liked Canada. Canada's always liked us, okay? There is a $1.2 trillion online with our trade relationship, okay? And everybody's saying, oh, my gosh, this will have a ripple effect. It's going to just cost everybody and you. It might. It might. I don't know. It might. On the surface, it is really tempting to see what everything that Donald Trump is doing as chaos. He's just swinging everybody and he's hitting our friends, and he's hitting our supposed friends, and he's just taking out everybody that. But that's not really what's going on. And I want you to understand this so you can share this to your friends or your family who maybe are freaking out. What are they? We're off Canada. I know. I don't like it either. I don't like it. But it's not chaos. It is a strategy. And you are dealing with the best negotiator America has ever had in office ever. And this is the strategy that people in America elected Trump to execute. Now, maybe your friend didn't or your family didn't because they didn't vote for him, okay? But the majority of people did, okay? Electoral College and the popular vote and the county swung by 20 points to the red. So this is a mandate. It is a movement. And it's not like other presidents that are like, you know, I'm. I'm gonna be just like you when I get in. I'm a fight for everything you're saying you're gonna fight for because I'm just like you. And, boy, that thing that I don't even address ever, but I just love what you're saying there. I got your back. And then they go in and they don't have your back. That's not what happened this time. First of all, people didn't vote for Donald Trump like, they voted for Joe Biden. Joe Biden they voted for. Because it wasn't Trump, okay? That's not what happened this time around. When you vote for somebody who's not the other guy, well, what is it you're getting in that case you got, I'm gonna make your boy a girl. Nobody was for that. Nobody voted for that. Maybe extremists, but we didn't even know that was even coming our way until, what, six months or eight months into the presidency. And then all of a sudden, dei, esg, all of this stuff was a big story. Most people didn't vote for that. They did vote for changing the direction of America. They were tired of corruption. They're tired of bureaucrats telling them how to live their life where they didn't get to vote on it. They're tired of being screwed by other countries. We Just want a fair and balanced playing field. I don't like tariffs. I do like reciprocal tariffs. You put a tax on our milk, we'll put a tax on your milk. You don't want a tax on your milk, then don't put a tax. And, and we won't tax you either. I like that. But that's what we're playing now is people just think we're going to take out Canada. I want you to think of this differently with your friends. And maybe your friends won't like this example, but it's true. When Ronald Reagan stood up, it was, I think it was in March of 83, and he's just gotten in and he's standing, I think it was at a breakfast or something. And he stood up and he said, and Russia, the Soviet Union is an evil empire. And everybody went, oh, my gosh. He just said, an evil empire. That's so scary. And everybody, even people who liked him were like, don't say that. They'll nuke us. And he's like, no, you're never going to beat them. We cannot do. Now listen to this. We cannot continue to play the game the same way we've been playing it for 50 years, because it's not getting us anywhere. In fact, it might be hurting us. We know with all of our foreign policy that we've done, getting us into endless wars, spending all kinds of money, racking up a debt of $35 trillion, not knowing what the truth is because the government's no longer transparent. None of that works. None of that works. And that's what Donald Trump was, was saying. And that's what people voted for, a change. I think that's what people actually voted for when it came to Barack Obama, because all of this transparency, everything was opaque under George W. Bush. You were like, wait, what are we doing there? Why, why is it I don't want necessarily these never ending wars and now I've got, you know, people checking my underpants at the airport. What are we doing? That's why they wanted change. Transparency. They wanted change, but he never defined the change. Donald Trump was very clear. Anybody who didn't know that massive tariffs were coming just weren't paying attention. Okay? When Reagan did it, it wasn't a slip of the tongue. It was deliberate. It was a public shot across the bow. He did it in public because he wanted to change the world. And while everybody else was going, oh my gosh, and critics, Democrats, everybody, he's going to, it's going to be catastrophic. He's going to get us nuked. By Friday, though, all the squirrels will be dead. What are squirrels are going to be? What? Reagan wasn't playing for the applause. He was playing to win. His words were backed by a military buildup and unrelenting pressure. And it forced the Soviet to confront their own fragility. They couldn't do it by 1989. Remember, it was 1983 when he said evil empire. And we were, we were at. At equal terms in the world. We were both world superpowers that could annihilate the other one at the drop of a hat. That was 1983. Evil empire. By 1989, the Berlin Wall was rubble, all because Reagan had the balls to say it and then not blink. Now we could have been vaporized. Yes, but if you want to change the world, you're going to have. I have this saying that somebody gave to me a long time ago, and I. And I live my life by it. Risk big, win big, risk big, lose big. Just know the odds before you put your money down on the table. That's why I don't like Vegas. I know the odds are not in my favor. So yes, I could risk big, but I probably will lose big because the odds are not in my favor when it comes to Ronald Reagan Soviet empire. He had a plan, and so the odds he knew were in our favor. The same thing with Donald Trump. We can't afford a trade war, but neither can they. So let's all play nice with one another, shall we? This is the same kind of leadership that Ronald Reagan had. They. If we elected Donald Trump to fight to take on a global trade system, to take on the deficit and the spending. We can't fire all these people. It's causing all kinds of chaos. Wait, are you okay? Honestly, are you okay With a good portion of our money raised in taxes going to pay for salaries and benefits the way it is? We have 6 million plus employees. For what? For what? When you see how corrupt it is, why can't we return some of that power? Well, you can't cut the Department of Education. Why not? He pledged he was going to. He told everyone on the campaign trail he's going to. And then when he tries. Everybody says we've got to preserve the why. It doesn't work. Show me the evidence that it works. Well, you're gonna just leave all of the poor children out to. To educationally starve? They're starving to death right now. They can't read. When you don't teach children to read, they become slaves to whomever can read. How is that compassion? How is that good? How is that something you want to preserve? This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. All right, I'm gonna tell you about the Department of Homeland Security here in just a second, but I want to talk to you about AI a little bit more. Today. We're just going to spend a few minutes on this, but I think we should spend a few minutes on this every day because I think people are waking up. It's just starting to become reality to the people who are paying attention. And the people who are paying attention now are going to be the ones that are the most likely to survive the first round of cuts. And you're going to. Hopefully you will see how to ethically use it. Because if you just use this to replicate your job. You know, I know I've got. I've got hours and hours every day I spend on a show prep, okay? But I've been using AI to help look for sources on things. And I mean, sources like that I would never find. You know, what does the GAO say about this? I'm not looking at the New York Times or anybody else. I. It's like I've taken. And I have a big staff that does research every day, and it allows me to look at things that would take us forever to look at and to digest, and we can digest it quickly. Then I can give it to my research team and say, just check on that. It says, page 437, paragraph 14 says this. Can you just make sure that that's exactly what it says and means? If you're using this to take your work and. Well, let me say it this way, using AI is like adding 10 people to your job. You no longer have to do the grunt work. It allows you to be a thinker. So you just need to get it to do all of the grunt work for you so you don't have to think about all that stuff you put it in so it can make what you do so much better. If you're using it just to do your job, okay, you might be done earlier in the day. My day has gotten much longer now using AI, but I am further ahead on a whole bunch of stuff. And if you use it just to copy what you do, then you are. You're replaceable. You're absolutely replaceable because you're the driver, you're the artist. You're the one who has the unique piece of humanity that it doesn't have. You can put things together that it won't. And so use it as a tool to say, if I had a staff of 10, if I had a staff of a hundred, what could I get done? How could I make myself the most valuable employee right now? It's not just coming in with the best report that Grok wrote. That would be bad because. Do you know about. How did you. What. What does all of this mean? It's a way for you to not only knock it out of the park with whatever you're doing right now, make what you do better, but then it's also about adding other things to. To your job so you make yourself the most valuable person in the building. Okay. Every job is going to be. My job is going to be. It's. There's going to come a time where I don't think real people will. I mean, I think real people will become a thing again, like handmade. But I think that there's going to be a time by 2030 where a lot of the podcasts right now, I will bet you that some of the tweets that you read from people that, you know, it might be AI generated, and then somebody else that you know and respect, their bot is responding to that tweet. And so it's the battle of the.
