Glenn Beck (14:02)
Okay, that's. Other than that anymore. Look, if the goal is to centralize power and control the pharmaceutical industry from Washington, I am 100% slam on the brakes. Now I'm not against slamming on the brakes here for the other goal. But if the goal is for the power of the President to break up a corrupt pricing monopoly to give Americans leverage again, because we've already violated the free market so horribly because the government has no place at the table, then is, is that pragmatic and is that principled? I don't know. I just know this. The market has to be free, okay? But if the players inside, inside, I mean, it has. Competition has to be protected, okay? You, you, you have to have competition, accountability and consequences. We don't have any of those things right now. None of Those things. That's not a true free market. That's a casino where the house always win and you and I always lose. That's what this is. So is this move going to reset the table? What if it forces companies to negotiate again, to compete again, to innovate again? I don't know. On. Usually that wouldn't happen, but we're. We're looking at a time when the whole country is just being sucked into a giant crap hole. And not because of Donald Trump, but because of what everyone has done for the last 100 years. The chickens are coming home to roost. So now how do you reset it? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I just. Here's what I. And I think you should use this as a motto. The only thing I'm certain of is that I'm not certain of anything anymore. Because the everything. You cannot just blanket say, I'm a free market capitalist. Okay, great. So am I. Now let's take that apart and see what that means. Where did we go wrong? So what should you really be for? And until you're willing to say, I'm for that, and only that which will dig us into a deeper hole, should we be. Should we not be pragmatic? Or is that selling out? Don't know. Haven't dealt with these issues before. All right, you sick, twisted freak. Want more of me and Stew? Maybe not, Stu, but to hear the rest of the program, check out the full podcast. We're back with more after this. All right, it's time to take that big step and move. Which means both selling your home and buying another one. Oh, jeez, I hate that. Now that's one chance to price it as well. To time it. To find the right buyer, to find the right home without missing something you never even knew you were looking for. That's the thing about real estate. It is full of blind spots. The foundation looks fine until the first heavy rain. Then the neighborhood that seemed quiet on Friday night rolls around, and the buyer who's all smiles until the deal starts to slip. All of that stuff means you need a great real estate agent that really knows what they're doing. Somebody vetted experienced professionals who know how to read the market, catch the signals, guard you from the mistakes that don't show up in a photo gallery. Because in this market, you don't get a do over. And when the stakes are this high, trust me, isn't enough. You need a partner who's going to get it done right the first Time we have that partner for you. It's a free. Sir. I don't charge you for this. We just give you a recommendation of the best one around you. In our opinion that we have vetted six ways to Sunday. Tell us where you're moving from and to realestate agentsitrust.com. that's realestateagency trust.com. now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. And don't forget, rate us on itunes. Okay, so Pope Leo, which, I'm sorry, maybe it's just because of Leo the lion, but when I think of Leo the Lion, I immediately think of the wizard of Oz and that lion, and I think of the Pope then saying, what do I have that the last Pope didn't have? Courage? So, excuse me, but he came out there saying now that he may not be as bad as Francis. Well, that would be nice. That would be nice. But he came out and he talked about AI and said, ah, we should be a little concerned about this because it could eat individualism. It could eat, you know, humanity and what it means to be human. And I think he's. I think he's right on that one. And, you know, there's two kinds of people. The people that think that. I know this is gonna happen. Everybody said bad things, you know, about, about the Internet and social media and how it. Yeah, look what it's done in 10 sweet, sweet 10 years to our children. Look what it's done. And this is far more powerful, so don't dismiss it. And the other is, well, you're just afraid of progress now. I'm really not. I'm, I'm, I'm more afraid of surrendering the very thing that makes us human. You know, and here's the, here's the, the truth, the real hard truth on AI. It's real. AI is real. Its gifts are real, and its dangers are just as real. It is going to offer us blessings that we've never seen, will change the world. It will. It'll personalize education for every single child. It will have medical breakthroughs. You know, we were just talking about the prescription drug thing that Trump just is signing in now. And, you know, part of that is, well, it's going to hurt innovation. Well, is it? I mean, it could. But we are looking about three years from now, AI and AGI and ASI being able to go, oh, you want to solve that? I can solve it. Here's how you make this drug. I mean, it's. We're not going to have these labs doing all kinds of experiments. Should AI actually solve and do what everybody thinks it's going to do in a very short period of time? Creativity is going to be enhanced. Productivity, time is going to be redeemed. It's really good. Now, there is a red line here, kind of really, you know, when AI stops being a tool and starts becoming the substitute for any kind of human thought, you know, or relationships. AI like government, just like fire, it can light your way, it can warm your home, or it will burn everything in your life down to the ground. So when I saw the Pope's message this weekend, I of course went on to AI and I said, what do you think of this? Okay, here's what AI said to me. Look out. Because there is. There are going to be a few things that are going to happen that you can watch for to see how close you are to having humans being eaten. 1. Dependence over discernment. Listen to this. Dependence over discernment. If you're asking, what do you think I should do? Okay, instead of this is what I believe. Can you challenge this or support this? You've already started to slip. If you, if you're. What? What is it I believe? Problem? Delegating moral reasoning. Number two. When we allow AI to define harm, truth or justice, we're handing our civilization soul to a machine that doesn't have one. That's a machine telling you this. That's, that's, that's a machine. You know what that is? Remember when I've ever said I don't know, people say they're going to kill you. I take them at face value. You're foolish not to. When you have AI saying, by the way, I'm going to destroy humanity. I don't know. I think I listened to it. I think I listened to it. So it says, these are the things to stay away from. Chat bots for friends. Remember we just talked about that with Mark Zuckerberg last week. Avatars for pastors, Algorithms for God. Quote. That's the fracture point. Number four, Censorship disguised as safety. When AI starts pushing or erasing certain thoughts in the name of alignment, you're already living in an invisible dictatorship. 5. The illusion of control. If you can't shut it off, opt out or walk away. You are no longer the master of the machine. So then I asked, well, what will it look like when it starts to break? Answer. It'll be quiet, subtle. You'll start to see the sameness everywhere. No descent, no original thought, just sanitized, optimized group. Think Your kids won't be able listen to this. Your kids won't be able to explain why America matters. I don't think our kids can do that now. They won't understand what a right is, where it came from, or why it's not up for a vote. Instead of discussion, you'll hear nothing but slogans. Instead of conviction, you'll see compliance. And when it collapses, it won't take decades. It may take hours or days. Can you unplug if the lines are crossed? That's my question. Only if you're practiced before the moment comes. Unplugging is not about flipping a switch. It's about building a new muscle now. So what is that muscle? Think critically, knowing who you are without a screen, standing on something deeper than a prompt or a feed. Wow. When did those become something we have to remind ourselves to do? When did that become something like, I don't know. I think critically, know who I am without the screen. That's a crazy thought, standing on something deeper than a prompt or a feed. How many people do that now? How many people actually know what they're for, what they're against? A lot of people will say, I'm against this. But will they even know why? Well, even. Do they even know why they're for something? Most people are educated through social media. And anyone, the man who reads nothing at all is better educated today than someone who only reads social media. Let that sink in, because that's true. Right now, you should use AI as a teacher, not a replacement. But as a teacher, right now, you can use AI to educate yourself, to learn economics, to go on and say, this is what I believe. Make the case. Make the strongest case, for and against. And then debate. Debate Western thought, learn about Western thought. Debate morality and philosophy. Learn the Constitution. Learn how to grow food. Learn how to fix a generator. Speak clearly. Think clearly. Reclaim your foundations. Learn the Bible for moral law, for human dignity, divine order. Those things are really important. Learn the Declaration and the Constitution. Know your rights and responsibilities. Know Adam smith, de Tocqueville, C.S. lewis. See the patterns and predict the collapse before it happens. And know where you should be standing if that collapse happens. Because if you know what's true, you will see what's false before anyone, before anyone else. And then that allows you to teach others and lead quietly. Because when confusion is the word of the day, when everything and everybody is confused, clarity is going to look an awful lot like leadership. I saw this warning. I mean, I mean, you know, 15 years ago, I launched something. I launched the Blaze 15 years ago. And my goal was to disrupt the media. And I got to say, if you look at. You're like, I think that worked. I think that worked. You know, when we first started, Netflix was still sending movies in the mail. And look at now, the media. If you weren't on Fox News, cnn, abc, NBC, cbs, you had no voice. You had no voice. But honestly, because of you and this audience, you gave power to the voices that would have been crushed in the system through the Blaze. And we made Truth competitive again. Some of the people that. That we helped elevate now sit in the White House press room. That's incredible. Incredible. Now, here's what needs to be disrupted. Education and AI can be a part of it can be, but it is. We have to be so incredibly careful. I don't trust AI coming from Silicon Valley. I don't trust AI coming from Chat GPT. I don't. I don't trust it. I don't trust any of it. I don't trust. Because I know how it works. Well, nobody actually knows how it works, but I know what a lot of its faults are right now. And I also know it depends on who's programming it. I want to tell you that I have. I have two teams of people that are working on something that I hopefully will be announcing soon, one in each hemisphere. So one team is working while the other team is asleep, and then they switch in the middle of the night and been working around the clock for over six months on something. And we're building something. I'm building something that wasn't even possible 24 months ago. Not even possible. But I believe in the end, this is going to be the one thing. This is going to be the thing that is most. The most important thing I've ever done. And the time is short, and I'll talk to you about it later this summer. And hopefully, if you feel the urgency that I feel, you'll be able to support this. But we have to corral AI and dedicate ourselves to education. Today I'm. I'm with Prageru all day. I'm filming a whole bunch of stuff for PragerU that AP classes are going to have access to all over the country. And I'll tell you more about that when. When it's out. But the opportunities that are happening right now on education are endless, and we're going to lead that. So you need to start educating yourself right now. But here's the one thing. When you. When I read this thing from, you know, Pope Leo Courage. I, I thought to myself immediately, okay, well, that's not good. I want you to, I want you. Here's your mission today. Here's the one thing you should be working on today. Starting today, constantly say these two words. But God. I had been saying, well, it's going to be interesting to see how that all works out. And that's kind of defeatist in a way. I mean, it's a funny way for me just to dismiss all the things and like, well, that's not going to go well. That's going to be interesting to see how everybody works that one out. Change it. But God. But God, understand the phrase learn it and live it. So in six months from now, it's such a part of you that it shapes how you walk, how you think, how you lead. And let me explain all much of the stuff that we're talking about. And, and then some things that I talked to you about 20 years ago are still on the horizon. And it's, it's, it's going to be a tough ride. It's going to be a very, it's going to get much worse before it gets much better. But here's the thing that all of the models and everything else and AI cannot account for. And that is but God. Because nothing factors him in except you. They never do. The models never do. But God's already working right now in small ways, in hearts that I don't. You're listening to the Best of Glenn Beck.

Not in machines, not in governments, not even in our plans. Hope lives in truth, in light, in God. And while things might look really, really bad, but God, he's still on the move. Hey, you're locked in with the best of the Glenn Beck program. Back with more right after this. So whether it's a tornado or a hurricane, sometimes it's a grid failure.

So I am thrilled to have Dr. Jay Bhattacharya on with us. He's from the National Institutes of Health. I want to talk to him about bringing science back into the nih. There was a lab leak and I want to get to that here in a second, but I've got to touch on the news of the day and it's not really his area of expertise, but the president just signed an executive order to lower drug costs. Doctor, welcome to the program. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. Any comment on that as we get started here?
