1. The Russia Collusion Narrative: A Deep State Plot

[01:45] Glenn Beck:
"I want to get right to the news of this plan to smear Trump with Russia collusion... You want to take us through it?"

[02:11] Jason:
"Politicians, FBI, CIA—all working for Trump now—are not storytellers. The plan to smear Trump with Russian collusion is deeper and more intricate than anyone is discussing."

[06:28] Glenn Beck:
"Now you're referring to the memo from Leonard Bernardo of the Open Society Foundation. He's claimed, 'I never wrote that letter. I never said that in the email.' What gives you credence?"

[07:25] Jason:
"It sounds like they're describing the Steele dossier but focused on Hillary Clinton. The CIA and intelligence community found it credible enough to brief President Obama immediately, unlike the FBI, which dismissed it as a compilation of hearsay."

[13:02] Jason (Stephen Miller's Audio):
"The Russia collusion hoax against President Trump remains the single greatest assault on our democracy in history... It meets all criminal elements of a seditious conspiracy against the United States."

[14:07] Glenn Beck:
"Prediction made in 2009 is about to come true—if this administration isn't held accountable, we'll uncover corruption that makes Watergate look like child's play."

---

2. The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Job Market

[15:39] Glenn Beck:
"Microsoft has issued the top 10 jobs that show the strongest overlap with chatbot technology. These are the jobs you don't want to study for."

[16:16] Stu:
"Passenger attendance—does that refer to flight attendants?"

[17:01] Glenn Beck:
"Customer service representatives are almost all gone. CNC tool programmers, telephone operators... historians are particularly alarming."

[19:20] Glenn Beck:
"I don't want AI controlling history. We can suggest, but who programs these things? Changing history is dangerous."

[25:11] Stu:
"Historians are the most concerning. Writers and authors follow closely. This affects culture, nation-building, and the foundational values of our society."

[28:13] Stu:
"People relying on AI for creativity may hinder genuine human thought and innovation."

[29:42] Glenn Beck:
"Universities are witnessing students submitting AI-generated papers. This compromises critical fields like medicine where honesty and integrity are paramount."

---

3. Donald Trump's Enduring Influence

[30:32] Glenn Beck:
"Donald Trump is considered the most influential president in the last century, according to CNN."

[31:03] Stu:
"By the end of his term, Trump will likely surpass Obama in influence."

[32:03] Glenn Beck:
"Trump has rolled back many Obama-era policies, including the closure of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting."

[32:34] Stu:
"Appointment of Jeanine Pirro, a Fox News personality, as the top federal prosecutor in D.C., signifies Trump's influence."

---

4. Social Media's Role in Public Incidents

[36:52] Stu:
"A woman was attacked in Cincinnati, and social media was blamed for instigating the violence."

[37:07] Stu:
"Social media footage brought attention to the incident, resulting in public support and aid, but the long-term impact on victims remains severe."

---

5. Corporate and Media Shifts

[42:41] Glenn Beck:
"The Jaguar CEO, Adrian Mardell, stepped down after overseeing controversial ad campaigns that failed to boost sales."

[43:27] Stu:
"Jeanine Pirro's appointment is unusual, transitioning from a media personality to a federal prosecutor, reflecting political maneuvering."

---

6. Community and Charitable Efforts

[40:04] Glenn Beck:
"Mercury One continues its efforts in disaster-stricken areas like Hawaii and Tennessee, emphasizing the importance of being part of something bigger."

[43:23] Glenn Beck:
"We stay without seeking publicity because it's the right thing to do."

---

Key Insights and Conclusions

• Deep State and Political Manipulation: The program posits that the Russia collusion narrative against Trump is a manufactured plot by entrenched political forces aiming to undermine his influence.

• AI's Disruptive Impact on Employment and Culture: There is significant concern over AI replacing critical roles, especially in fields that shape societal values and historical narratives. The potential loss of genuine human creativity and integrity in academia poses long-term risks.

• Trump's Political Legacy: Despite not holding office, Trump's decisions and appointments continue to leave a lasting imprint on federal institutions and policies, underscoring his sustained influence on American politics.

• Social Media's Double-Edged Sword: While social media can amplify support and awareness in incidents of public harm, it also has the power to incite violence and negative outcomes.

• Corporate Responsibility and Media Influence: The accountability of corporations and media personalities in leadership roles highlights the intersection of business decisions and political agendas.

• Commitment to Community Support: Through initiatives like Mercury One, the program emphasizes proactive community and charitable efforts without seeking recognition, fostering a sense of responsibility and collective well-being.

These jobs go away. We also talked about Russian collusion. All of that story, but in a story format, Jason. But Trill, our chief researcher is back from vacation and he had quite a few things to say after, after vacation and really going through that with a fine tooth combination.

Now, let's get to work.

[Jason]

You're listening to the Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

[Glenn Beck]

Let me go to Jason. Hello, Jason.

[Jason]

Hey, Glenn.

[Glenn Beck]

I would ask you about your weekend, but I really don't care. I want to get right to the news and right to the news of this plan to smear Trump with Russia collusion. I talked to you this morning and you said this a lot deeper and a lot more meat to it than anybody is talking about. You want to take us through it?

[Jason]

Yeah. I was like, of course this would happen right while on vacation, something like this drops and it's so insane. And what kind of annoyed me. So this is amazing. We'll get to like the contents of it. But what kind of annoyed me is, you know, politicians, people in the FBI, CIA, all that that are working for Trump now and trying to get to the bottom of this are not storytellers. And no one's, they're not claiming to be storytellers. I wish that they would have had more of a storyteller mind and mindset for this because they should have released this Duramanix before the ODNI report that Tulsi Gabbard released. And the reason I say that is because multiple times it talks about the Special Services that were involved and that we're going to put more oil on the fire, which they were talking about the FBI and pushing this narrative of Russian collusion forward. Now, the FBI analysts said these special services were probably CIA or FBI people that were, you know, close to the Clinton campaign. Well, we got that information in the OD now report a couple of weeks ago. The Special Services were, you know, it looks like it was allegedly the Obama administration right at the top that were ordering a new intelligence community assessment because they didn't like the fact that, you know, they said that there was no collusion, there was no hacking involved, there was nothing that pushed the election in Trump's favor. They didn't like that, so they ordered a new one.

[Glenn Beck]

Those, essentially, these are the Special Services were the people that were in the Oval, that president, or in the Security Council room that President Obama called together.

[Jason]

Right, Right, exactly. So if they would have released this Duramanics, first they talked about Special Services, then they could have put later and with later on and so. And showed how. Well, this is how the government was colluding. So, yes, it was a Clinton plan. This was in the Duramanics released. Was it Thursday or Friday? Yes, it was a Clinton plan. It involved the entire Deep State apparatus. Now, I say that word very specifically because they mentioned the Deep State twice. They actually mentioned it twice in this. I'm like, were you kidding me? I couldn't believe this was getting out on my vacation. They mentioned it twice. Now, where did this information come from? It came from a source named T1. Now, T1 is very, very mysterious. We're not sure who this source is, but I was just. Look, I was rapidly looking through everything I could. I think it probably is one of our allied countries. I think there was. There was an. There was news coming around around about the time that the Dutch security service had hacked or penetrated some of Russia's communications. So it was like, you know, there were double. There were double hacks, triple hacks going on all around this time. It sounds like it was one of our allies. And they're reading in on what the Russians are putting together on this.

[Glenn Beck]

I just can't get past the. I'm sorry, I just can't get past the Dutch secret services, do they have, like. They have phones in their wooden shoes? I mean, it would be hard for them to sneak around in those shoes. I'm sorry, but go ahead. I just had to say it so I could get it off my mind. Go ahead. I love it. Yeah.

[Jason]

I don't know how they're ahead of us on this, but, hey, proximity. I guess they're close. Okay, but, yeah, so they got this information. They are compiling it and then giving it back to our intelligence services. So our intelligence services, like the CA are like, this is legit. They've got communications from. Let's go back to what I said about the deep state from some of these think tanks, which I completely agree. They are part of this deep state apparatus. Some of these tanks that are, that are associated with Hillary Clinton or have a, you know, they're just warm about her. And then they. So not only think things, but Also, like, organizations, NGOs, like the Open Society Foundation. There was one of their, their big wigs over and over in Europe that was talking about how he's getting, you know, plans for. Directly from the Clinton campaign, that this is being, you know, this is given a go from her directly and that she is expecting Special services to help.

[Glenn Beck]

Now you're. This, this is the, the memo from Leonard Bernardo, right? From. Yeah, Open Society. They're saying that Bernardo has said, I never wrote that letter. I never said that in the email. I don't know what you're talking about. So what. What gives you. What gives it any credence to you.

[Jason]

So this was the disconnect between the FBI, which is not surprising to me because of people like McCabe and Comey that are all part of this at the time. But the FBI is saying this information, this intercept is not credible because it's.

[Glenn Beck]

What was.

[Jason]

It was hilarious. They gave, like, multiple different responses. One was, it looks like they're compiling from different information. It looks like they might be exaggerating. It looks like some of it could be hearsay. So basically, everything that was in the Steele dossier, it's. It almost sounds like they're describing the Steele dossier.

[Glenn Beck]

Correct.

[Jason]

But it wasn't about Trump. It was about Hillary Clinton. So this one, they're saying, oh, no, we can't include it. Let's lock it away in a burn bag in a, In a small closet in the FBI building. We can't talk about it. But the Steele dossier, brief that to President Obama immediately. Are you kidding me? But the CIA is saying, wait a minute, they disagreed. They said Wait a minute. This is a source. And I'm just, I'm paraphrasing. You know, these are not direct quotes, but they're saying this is a source that we have. This stuff is credible. The FBI is saying, well, it looks like it's a compilation. Well, yeah, it sounds like it is. Bernardo saying, I never wrote this. It sounds like there was. The, the, the explanation was that they were gathering from multiple different reports from the Russians that had intercepted some of this stuff. And he's putting it all together and then saying, well, this was said during this time. This was said during this time. And he compiled it all together and put it out there in this, in one of their memos to, and released it to us. So it doesn't surprise me at all that, you know, Bernardo could make a claim, true or not, who knows that I never wrote those words specifically. That doesn't absolve him. And it sounds like the CIA and our intelligence was saying, yeah, like whatever. It might not have been word for word, but this is a trusted source. We need to listen to it. And it was trusted enough that they had to brief immediately the heads of the Obama administration about it.

[Glenn Beck]

So draw your own conclusions there. They, they also, the CIA takes, this is the way they get information. Like if the Russians are spying on us, they don't ever take an exact email. They take pieces. So you don't ever know exactly who got it or where it leaked or how it happened. Correct?

[Jason]

Yeah, true. And yeah, the, the Dutch, the Dutch security services that would be allegedly getting this information, they're, they're getting it through, you know, either emails or transmission signals, intelligence, listening in on their conversations, whatever. They're, they're getting this, however they're getting this, and they're compiling it into reports, they're creating analysis reports, and then they're transmitting that back to their superiors and then some of that to us. So, yeah, it's complicated. It's intelligence mumbo jumbo. But it sounds like the intelligence community was on board with this being credible, actionable intelligence. But the FBI for some reason was like, let's not, let's not pay attention to this. Let's lock it away. But the interesting thing about a lot of this, Glenn, was it kind of irritates me how even, even today, how we're responding to this because we're still giving the Democrats, I guess, is like a political smokescreen. You really have to look into what was freaking the Democrats out and the deep state, which again mentioned twice in this memo, what was freaking them out. It wasn't just, you know, random stuff about Trump and Russia, which that stuff was all made up, which we now know. But it was everything that was going on at the time. Now what was going on at the time they were concerned. And it mentions in this memo all the, the distracting away from Hillary Clinton's emails and what was inside those emails. Now what do we know? Well, we also know that it wasn't just Clinton, Hillary Clinton's emails that were hacked. Remember, there were the DNC leaks, there were the Destiny email leaks. There were all these other leaks which included information like the DNC basically rigging their election, getting rid of Bernie Sanders because they really wanted Hillary Clinton to become president. Pick a scandal that Obama says he never had, like his drone strikes that was in there, what was going on, Glenn and Ukraine, that was also released in all of these hacks that they are now trying to distract away from it.

[Glenn Beck]

Also it also verifies something that we said was happening where they were funneling all of this money through NGOs like George Soros. All of that stuff is, all of the connections were in this. Do we know who hacked her emails and who hacked her and who hacked the dnc? Do we know that yet?

[Jason]

You know, I think that specifically needs to, we need to go back and demand solid proof that it was the Russians. Now, I don't know if it was the Russians. It very well could have been, but back in the day, and a memo mentions that this was happening like at the beginning of 2014. So well before the election, these penetrations were beginning to try and hack these, to try to hack this information. But if you look at news reports from back then, the speculation was wild. They were saying that I was read, just reading it was from the ap how they were talking about how there are intrusion records that showed people from China were trying to hack these emails, people from Germany were trying to hack these emails and people from South Korea were trying to hack these emails. Now we just, just assume that it was Russia because the intelligence community back in 2016 and 20, early 2017, because they told us it was, it was Russia. I think we have to go back and re examine all of that because how many hoaxes can we pull out of this? We're just accepting that one is true. It could be, but we have to look back and there was larger speculation that was going on. There was involved back during the time when this was originally happening.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, Stephen Miller, do we have the audio? Stephen Miller, let's play this audio. What he said over the weekend. And then we're going to take a break and come back with more with with Jason. Here's the audio of Stephen Miller.

[Jason]

The Russia collusion hoax against President Trump remains the single greatest hoax and the greatest assault on our democracy in the history of this country. There's no comparison. There's no parallel to anything else. It was a coup, and I'm using that term literally. It was a coup to overthrow a democratically elected government, a coup carried out by the intelligence apparatus of this country, by the deep state, by Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party. The new information that has been revealed by the Director of National Intelligence and by the FBI eliminates any scintilla of doubt about the intention, the premeditation, the planning and orchestration of this conspiracy. It meets all of the criminal elements of a seditious conspiracy against the United States. It meets the criminal elements of an insurrection. It meets the criminal elements of a conspiracy against the government and the criminal elements of, of a conspiracy to deprive citizens of their civil rights under color of law.

[Glenn Beck]

And I don't think he goes far enough on that because he's only talking about one part. I think there's a prediction of mine made in 2009 that is about to come true. I said, if this administration is not held to account, soon, this, remember, this is 2009, in the end, we will find corruption that will make Watergate look like child's play. And it's not just this, as Jason just said. They are worried about all of the other stuff. It's not just Donald Trump they're worried about. They're worried about the exposure on all of the other things that were happening at the time, including Ukraine and Benghazi and all of that stuff. This is all tied to this. I'm convinced of this. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad that you're here. Thank you so much for listening. So Microsoft has just, just issued the top 10 jobs that show the strongest overlap with chatbot technology. So, in other words, these are the jobs you don't want to study for. Okay. I find, I find one of these stunning interpretation interpreters and translators.

[Jason]

Got it.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, have you seen the, the translation bots now that are out there? Real time. Phenomenal.

[Stu]

There's no. Yeah. I mean, it sucks, but if you've dedicated your life to this, but it's going to be hard to, to find widespread use for those skills in the future.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Then you also have passenger attendance. Is that like a stewardess Passenger attendance. Attendance.

[Stu]

Passenger attendance.

[Glenn Beck]

Attendance. I don't even know what that is. So I do need a translator.

[Stu]

Yeah. I mean, is that the new. So it was stewardess, then? It was flight attendant.

[Glenn Beck]

Flight attendant, that's right.

[Stu]

And then now, I guess passenger attendant. I guess passenger attendant. I guess it applies to airlines, trains, buses, ferry.

[Glenn Beck]

I have yet to see the passenger attendant on a bus.

[Stu]

That's a good point.

[Glenn Beck]

Can I get some orange juice for you, sir?

[Stu]

Now, I've met some wonderful drug dealers on buses, but not. I don't consider them to be passenger attendants. I don't know what that is. That's interesting. I've never heard that phrase before.

[Glenn Beck]

Neither have I.

[Stu]

Okay. Is it like. Is that more politically correct? Is that what that is? Like, you're. We don't want to. We don't want.

[Glenn Beck]

It's not a flight anymore. Did you ask ChatGPT?

[Stu]

Yeah, it says airlines flight attendant, trains conductor or attendant, and buses slash ferries.

[Glenn Beck]

Why? Why wouldn't you need a person? Well, anyway, I wouldn't you think?

[Stu]

I guess maybe you're getting on you. I don't know. I really like. You think those things are physical. Like someone delivering a drink to me on a plane is not something that.

[Glenn Beck]

A chatbot could do. Nothing.

[Stu]

Yeah, it's weird.

[Glenn Beck]

And I don't trust any plane that, you know, is putting robots in all of the key positions. You know, the airline's like, nah, it's safe. It's totally fine, though. You know, you put your own people on here.

[Stu]

Then I will say, though, you've made the argument, and I think this is accurate, that people not in. Not the not too distant future will start saying, wait a minute. You want a human to do that? I want the robot to do that. This is going to reverse as AI gets better.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, if that's true, then I want as. As. Let's say you work for Delta. Your only job as a board of director is to. It is to sit on a flight every day. Every day you have to be on a flight. I want somebody up towards the front. They don't have to do anything. Yeah, and by the way, that's a United Airlines board of director right there. So I know they care about safety still. You know what I mean? Let's see. Sales representatives and services, I guess. I guess, maybe.

[Stu]

Certainly for like, cold calls and stuff, right? Like, AI is going to do all. I mean, human beings hate doing that, too, and hate receiving them, but that's going to be all handled by AI if it's not mostly Already writers and authors.

[Glenn Beck]

Holy cow, that's not good. Customer service representatives. Those are almost all gone. CNC tool programmers, telephone operators. I thought we put those guys out of business, like 1978. Can you push zero and get an operator? Is that possible? Ticket agents and travel clerks. That makes sense. Broadcast announcers and radio DJs. Yes.

[Stu]

Wow. We've eliminated.

[Glenn Beck]

We've made it.

[Stu]

Between that and writers, we've eliminated our entire careers here. This particular.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, I'm about to eliminate another one.

[Stu]

Oh, good.

[Glenn Beck]

Historians.

[Stu]

Oh, wow.

[Glenn Beck]

That one I don't understand.

[Stu]

That's terrifying.

[Glenn Beck]

That's terrifying. I do not want AI controlling history. You know what I mean? We can make a suggestion here and there, but who programmed that thing?

[Stu]

Well, you know, correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know how much you could talk about this, but correct me if I'm wrong. That's one of the things you're looking to address here in the very near future, right? You're trying to look at how history and AI are going to work together and trying to do something about it before it's too late.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes, it's exactly what we're doing. Exactly what we're doing. And that's one of the reasons why we're doing it, is because I don't want AI telling me what history is. Where are you getting that input? Where is that coming from? What does your programming say? Oh, you change history and you can change the world. I think that's very dangerous. Very, very, very dangerous.

[Stu]

Because, you know, again, you know, think of all the times we've learned things about history from people who, for years and years and years were shunned as heretics, essentially, who were lying and giving alternate histories that weren't accurate. And then we'd find documents and all these things would support it. ChatGPT and all these other companies are largely going to just go to the widely accepted history, which probably includes a good hefty teaspoon of the 1619 Project. And what does that mean for the future? What lessons are we going to learn? Our kids are going to learn their history from people who don't know anything about it.

[Glenn Beck]

Garbage. Can I tell you something? Speaking of historians and learning different things, I don't want to tell you what this is because it is so controversial. David Barton came to me. He's researching something from the 20th century, and he said, glenn, how do you feel about this event? And I said, oh, how much do you know about this event? I said, well, I mean, I think I know enough. And he's like, yeah, and what's your opinion on this event? And I was very strong on my opinion. He said, yeah, that's where I was. And I said, what do you mean? He said, I'm researching something for a new book. And he said, this was, like, just one little part of this book. And he said, I really didn't think it would take me long to put this together. He said, and then we started going back through the original documents and the original data and really doing our homework. And he said, which we do on all of it. And he said, I think we're wrong. And I said, oh, no, David, no, no, no, no, no, we're not wrong. And he's like, no, I think we are. And we're in the popular position. We're in the one that, like, you don't want to have the other position. And he said, could you just go over all of this with me to make sure. And I'm like, yeah, I'm going to grab Stu, too, because we should have a lot of people that just like to dig. Dig at things and tear things apart. Because Stu, if he's right about that, I don't even want to say it. I don't even want to say it. If he's right and he thinks he's right, and he's like, ah, this really changes history, and not in a way that we want it to, you know? I mean, that's how I said to David, I said, you don't. You weren't looking for that, were you? And he's like, no, I didn't know any of this. He's like, glenn, I don't. I mean, this. This is horrible. This is horrible that this would be reversed. And I'm like, well, you got to do what you got to do. That's how you know it's an honest historian. When they're like, don't want that to be true. It's crazy.

[Stu]

Wow. I'm very intrigued now. He's. I mean, inadvertently. David did a very good book promo here because I'm now very interested in reading whatever is coming.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, yeah, no, it's. I mean, I. I am, too. I am too. And I'm very intrigued how that. That turncoat David Barton just went crazy there in the end.

[Stu]

No, no, Stu, we.

[Glenn Beck]

We all saw it coming. We just didn't want to say it until now, until the book is released.

[Stu]

I guess that that's what we'll say. But if he has the right opinion here, this could be the big turnaround for David Barton. From outed terrorist, which he's been discussed in the past. And then I'm sure the media will embrace him and love him if he says the right thing. So that'll be fascinating to watch. No, no, no.

[Glenn Beck]

I think this is an opinion that everybody has. This won't be popular with anyone.

[Stu]

Oh, wow.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. I mean, it, it's wow. But it's coming up next year and, and I commend him for, I mean, he is struggling with it so hard. He's like, I gotta find, I gotta find where this falls apart, please. And he keeps, I keep asking him, so how's that going? He's like, I keep finding more evidence that it's true. And he's, I mean, he is dead deep, deep in this subject.

[Stu]

Can't wait to hear about it.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, we'll see. So anyway, interpreters, translators, historians, passenger attendants, sales representatives, writers, authors. That's scary. Customer service representatives, CNC tool programmers, telephone operators, ticket agents, travel clerks and broadcast announcers and radio DJs. You're going to, according to Microsoft, you're going to be the first that goes in the, in the job market.

[Stu]

So I think historians is probably the one that scares me the most out of that.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu]

Though I will say writers and authors is. If it's not a close sec. If it's not tied for first, it's a close second.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I agree that I, I'm okay with. We're broadcast announcers. So I mean, that doesn't scare me. But historians and number two, writers and authors and everything else, I'm like, yeah, I could have seen that coming. You know what I mean?

[Stu]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And it's not, it's not vital. I mean, it's going to lose. There are a lot of jobs that are going to be lost. So it's vital on that. But it's not like that's dangerous. And I think historians and writers and authors is dangerous. So let's let it go.

[Stu]

Forms a culture, it forms a nation state, it forms traditions and foundations and values and, you know, all that stuff. And not to mention, one of the big problems with these chatbots is they're just, and the artists are complaining about this constantly. They're just taking everybody else's work and ingesting it and then sort of spitting it back out at you. And at some point, if the new authors are all replaced by ChatGPT, you have nothing new. You're just getting different versions of what's already been ingested, modified in certain ways, and they can spit out different varieties of it. But like, what's the, you know, like, we, we're going to. There's going to be. It's going to be like Hollywood, where we're just getting sequels to crappy old, you know, movies rather than new, innovative. Interesting thoughts.

[Glenn Beck]

I think what you're missing here, though, is the prompter. You know, taking classes in prompting is probably going to be something of the future. Maybe you just have to know how to prompt. So I don't think when it says author, I'm not sure that you're not going to get new creative human thought saying, hey, investigate this or do this, and shaping it. Because prompting is a very large part of that and that still comes from humans. Sure.

[Stu]

But I think I'm concerned at least that you're talking about the current situation in which a lot of people who were brought up under a world where they're being individually creative are now inspiring AI to help them be more productive. And you can really see how there'd be a benefit to that. But once you have a generation that's been doing this and didn't go through that process and wrote all of their papers throughout their lives based through AI and prompting it, then you're to a period where they didn't. How are they going to inspire the new thought when they never went through that process like everybody else said? I mean, again, see, I guess, I.

[Glenn Beck]

Guess that that's another thing that we're trying to take care of with the, with the torch, is that always use it as a tool, never let it use you as a tool.

[Stu]

Yeah, and I'm not a techno pessimist here. I'm not like, I don't think there's going to be nothing good from this. And usually what happens with technology is you get to these things and all of those worries wind up working themselves out and we get good things out of it and bad things out of it and human life goes on. So, you know, it's probably the most likely outcome. But I do worry about that when you see people already just abandoning their minds, they just don't. All they think about is what to type into this thing and it tells them the answer and they just believe it's true.

[Glenn Beck]

It's why professors and everybody in universities are now saying their class, the professor would get their papers back and it's all great. And then they take a final exam and they're all dummies. They have no idea what they're even talking about. And he's like, there's no way the dummies could have written the papers that you wrote. So you didn't do any of the work. You let ChatGPT do all of the work, and then you had to go take the final exam and, and, you know, nothing. I mean, imagine the people who are now cheating on medicine. I mean, I hope that thing is so buttoned up that, you know, nobody's getting through that, you know, skated with ChatGPT. Because think about, I mean, some of the things that are, that are so critical to mankind that you don't want cheaters involved in. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Net migration in the United States, get this, it's down. It's going to be down at least 60%. We may be dealing with, get this. Negative net migration to the United States in 2025. That would be the first time there is negative net migration in this country in at least 50 years. We're talking about down from 2.8 million in 2024. So Donald Trump ran, has always run on tariffs, and he's running a hawkish line on immigration. And on both of those issues, we are seeing record high tariff rates for this century going all the way back, well, back into the early part of the 20th century. And when it comes to immigration net migration, we are seeing record low levels way down from where we were during the Biden administration. We are potentially looking at negative net migration for the first time in at least 50 years.

[Stu]

Yeah, so that would be.

[Glenn Beck]

He goes on to say he thinks he's the most influential president of this century and well into the 20th century. That's amazing.

[Stu]

Totally, totally fair, right? I don't even know. I think you'd put Obama in that conversation. But I think Trump, especially by the end of. We're only one year into his, not even one year into his second term yet. I think by the end of this, he'll be obviously ahead. But I would put him ahead right now. I think he's changed. I think he's changed.

[Glenn Beck]

Yo. Yeah, he has. And he's rolled back the Obama stuff. A lot of it. Not all of it. But then he took some other things on. Like, I mean, did you see the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has closed its.

[Stu]

Door now, Something Republicans have been trying to get done for as long as I can remember.

[Glenn Beck]

Forever.

[Stu]

Yep.

[Glenn Beck]

The corporate. Not pbs, not npr, the corporate. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting fired everybody. They're all out. They're all out. They've been in business since 1967 on our dime. But they said no matter how many people tried to help them fund, there's just not enough money to keep that going. And I say, good, if, you know, the private sector can't do it and there is competition, well, you know, then, then, and you know, then, then maybe we have the government do it. But when there's competition and the private sector can do it, no, we shouldn't be paying for it.

[Stu]

You don't think there's a shortage in left wing media content?

[Glenn Beck]

No, I really, no, I don't. I don't, I don't, I don't. By the way, another, another reason he is so influential. Senate has confirmed Pirro as the top federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia. Jeanine Pirro, she's going to be the top federal prosecutor in D.C. that, that's quite a change.

[Stu]

Are you talking about Fox News personality Jeanine Piro?

[Glenn Beck]

Yes, yes, I, I've seen that, reported.

[Stu]

That, that they just gave this job to someone who was on Fox News. It just randomly picked a host from a cable news channel and you gave her this job. That is so weird. It's almost like maybe the reason she got the job on Fox News was her decades of law enforcement experience.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu]

This is the same thing they did with Dan Bongino. They're like podcaster Dan Bongino. How could he have a job in law enforcement? Like the guy came from the Secret Service. His, he became a podcaster after that. You know, my, my uncle was a, he was a homicide detective in New York.

[Glenn Beck]

Your uncle? My uncle detective, yes.

[Stu]

He, he worked under and worked with Jeanine Pirro when she, you know, back when she was in New York working at that job. She was, I don't know what job she had, but you know, she was the big wig. And he loved her like he, she was highly respected. People thought she was incredibly tough. She would, you know, she made sure the justice was job one. That's how he described it. Yeah. So, you know, again, that's why she has, she's getting this job. Yes. The Fox News stuff I think does help at times, but that's separate from her law enforcement experience.

[Glenn Beck]

She's very good. It'd be like Meghan Kelly. You know what I mean? Megyn Kelly.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

She, she was a trial attorney for a long time. Anyway, let's go. Also another reason he's influential and this one makes me a little nervous, to be honest with you. You know, Trump said Russia has 50 days. Then last week they said, you know what, why wait? He's not doing anything. He's got 10 days. Well, that 10 days is coming up this week. For Putin to actually sit down and start to negotiate a peace. And he said, we're going to start putting really hefty sanctions on Russia. And so Medvedev, the guy who is always shooting his mouth off, always, he said, you know, that. Well, that sounds like he wants war, and we'll be prepared for war. And Trump then said, hey, words have actions, and I don't think this is appropriate. You have to be really careful because you just made a threat. And so I'm going to move two of our subs into the waters just off of Russia. So now two US Nuclear subs are off the coast of Russia where, you know, let. I mean, can we all just cool down? Cool down. But again, he is operating with a very big stick and saying, look, we're not going to tolerate this. You. We can all be reasonable here. The minute you stop being reasonable, well, then we got a problem. And, you know, behave yourself. And, you know, America hasn't walked like that in a very, very long time. One of the things that we have to take on, and I would love to see somebody start to take this on, is the. The fact that you're not safe in your own town anymore. And I think this is changing. It's slowly changing, but not changing. I mean, we only have, what, three more years of Donald Trump. If they come in and change everything, maybe we have a little bit more. Not of Donald Trump, but of the same direction at least. But we may only have three years. And our police forces, they need backup. Bad Cincinnati, you know, they've lost two or three hundred cops in the last few years. They never filled them. They never filled them. I mean, how are you supposed to run a town losing that number of police officers? Well, we saw the, you know, the. The brawl in the street, and the woman, that was. I thought they killed her. You saw the video. You think the same thing when you.

[Stu]

Saw it, Stu, when you first see it? Yeah. It looked. I mean, she was knocked out cold.

[Glenn Beck]

Knocked out cold. And her eyes were open.

[Stu]

Yeah. That's terrifying.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. And she hit the. She hit the pavement with her head, and it's like, I. You know, they may have killed her.

[Stu]

I know. I can't. I can't believe social media did that to her. You know, we heard from the police commissioner that social media was responsible. And I'm just. When. When social media pushed her over and banged her head against the concrete so hard, she passed out with her eyes open. That was really a bad job by social media.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, really, really bad. Really bad. Here she is. In Cincinnati. This is the first time she has spoken. Listen, I just want to say thank you so much to everyone for all of the love and support. It's very humbling that you have sent your prayers, your blessings. It's definitely what's keeping me going. And you have just brought back faith and humanity. So God bless you all. Thank you. I appreciate everything that you're doing for me and my family. It's been very, very hard and I'm still recovering. I still have a very bad brain trauma and it's. Thank you. Thank you, everyone. That is an amazing statement from her. Amazing.

[Stu]

How can that be happening? Seriously?

[Glenn Beck]

I don't know.

[Stu]

It's just absolutely awful. I mean, it is nice that people really have stepped up, but in a weird way, I mean, that really is the result of social media.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, if that's Benny Johnson in.

[Stu]

It, I did that. I think it was Benny who started a GoFundMe. But without that initial social media footage, which was footage shot by people who were cheering on her attack. Right.

[Glenn Beck]

Ugly.

[Stu]

But if that didn't get out, there'd be a police report, a woman was knocked out in the street, and no one would even notice it. So in a way, it really has made the situation better. But in a very roundabout way, at least people are able to show her that they care about her and somebody cares about her. But, like, what's terrible about these things is these events happen and, like, they end. Like, our attention to a story like this ends as a civilization, right? Like, we watch this stuff happen and then there's another thing that happens and then we all move on and she's left dealing with brain injuries. Right. Like, this story doesn't just end because she got a few nice donations. I know with Mercury one, that's been one of the. One of their focuses for a long time, since you started it, which was like, hey, North Carolina, we're not just going to leave. Hey, we're going to help these people. Months and years after the cameras go away, that's a really tough thing. And families like this are victims of these attacks. They wind up having to deal with a really long road. So hopefully this cushions it a little bit for her.

[Glenn Beck]

I will tell you, you know, when we made the pact to stay, I thought, you know, nobody even there. They're not going to notice. They're not going to notice. And we don't do it to be noticed or anything else. I am shocked at how many people that have survived any of the things that Mercury one has been there for. How they always say everyone leaves. The minute the cameras go off, everyone leaves. And you guys were the only ones that were still there. I mean, we're. We're still in Hawaii, you know, from that horrible fire. We're still helping them out. We're still in two states with Hurricane Helene. We're in Tennessee and North Carolina still building houses. I mean, it's really a great thing if you. You know, you want to be a part of something that really is bigger than you. You can be. You can be. And that's what I. To me, at least, that's what gives life meaning. And we've never done it for. I mean, somebody was asking me the other day, they're like, how come you don't say this on the air all the time? And I said, well, I. I say enough on the air. We, you know, we make donations. We do it all through donations. And they're like, you should promote that. And I'm like, no, I. That's not why we do it. You know, we don't do it to promote. We do it because it's the right thing. And I think it makes it better that we're, you know, we don't come in with the big banners and the. You know, somebody said to us, we were on the ground. I don't remember where. And they were like, do you want us to put up a banner? We're like, no, we didn't even understand it. What do you mean, put up a banner? Why would we put up a banner? We're here. You know, they were. They needed money, and, you know, we were helping this other charity with stuff, and they needed money, and we came in and we're like, okay, what do you need? What are you doing with it? How is it blah, blah, blah. And we gave them the money, and they were like, okay, we'll put up a banner. Is that what you need? And we're like, no, no, no, we're not. We don't need to put up a banner. I think we're okay. I think we're okay without the banner, but thank you. It's weird, by the way, there's a couple of other things. The Jaguar CEO just stepped down, and he was the guy, Adrian Mardell. He is the guy who was the CEO for three years. He oversaw the copy nothing ad with, you know, the androgynous males that came out. There was no car in the commercial. It was just these people coming out that all. You couldn't tell if they were male and female wearing weird outfits and.

[Stu]

Oh, that was so weird and it felt so out of place time wise. Right. Like if you go.

[Glenn Beck]

It was, you know, too far. It was, it was way past that time.

[Stu]

Way past the mega woke time.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu]

And they came out with this thing and they designed these. They didn't even put cars in the ad at all. But it was the cars that did come out were very futuristic and kind of weird looking. He, you know, he wound up stepping down. You know, I'm sure they're not admitting the reason for that was, was this campaign, but that's what everyone is drawing out of it.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, of course it is. They had no sales.

[Stu]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Like their sales went, you know, and hit just. They just cratered after that. Mike and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.

[Jason]

When Alyssa got a small water bottle.

[Glenn Beck]

Mike showed up with a 4 liter jug.

[Jason]

When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.

[Stu]

Oh, come on. They called a truce for their holiday.

[Jason]

And used Expedia trip planner to collaborate.

[Stu]

On all the details of their trip.

[Jason]

Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.

[Glenn Beck]

Whatever.

[Stu]

You were made to outdo your holidays.

[Jason]

We were made to help organize the competition.

[Stu]

Expedia made to travel.
