Let me tell you about the burner launcher. You know, I've been thinking lately, the world is, it has way too many, way too many scenarios there where you're standing there thinking, okay, I don't know what to do right now. Somebody's pounding at your door at midnight. You hear strange noises in the backyard. You can call the cops, wait 20 minutes, you know, hope it's nothing. Or you can go full Rambo, you know, which to be honest, I'm more likely to do. But what you want, possibly is something in the middle. Something that says, I'm not looking for a fight, but I'm not gonna let you kick my back door in either. That's where the burner launcher comes in. It fires Non lethal CO2 powered kinetic pepper rounds and tear gas rounds that pack about a 40 minute punch. Legal in all 50 states without a permit. Powerful enough to stop somebody in their tracks without making the evening news. It's peace of mind for people who don't want to be victims. Take action right now. Again, available in all 50 states, no permits required. It's. It's fantastic. It's a Burna launcher. Now really compact. You can conceal, carry with it.

Stu Burguiere
Yes, things are wonderful in every, in.
Glenn Beck
Every way and it's going to be interesting to see how all this wondrous stuff works out.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I'm watching.
Glenn Beck
I'm going to be watching.
Stu Burguiere
I'm on the edge of my seat, tuned in.
Glenn Beck
And not pissed off. That's the key. Now I'm tuned in but not off as we're going to do about it anyway, except make the best of it. All right, so there's a couple of things. Now this is, this was shocking to me, Stu, but apparently Joe Biden needed a wheelchair and somebody to push him.
Stu Burguiere
Around in it that was, that's the report today.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
From the new book. Yeah, the. It's the Jake Tapper, Alex Thompson book.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Who. Jake was completely surprised by all of this.
Stu Burguiere
Was.
Glenn Beck
He was completely surprised. He was like, whoa, wait a minute, I should write a book real quick, you know, so he is just very, he was completely caught off guard. Nobody in the media or writing these books had any idea that Joe Biden wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, wasn't playing basketball every afternoon. They had no idea. You know, the last time they saw him, he was sharper than the sharpest guy they've ever seen.
Stu Burguiere
I know the thing that was devastating to me was I was convinced he was just running circles around his 25 year old staffers.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
And then to learn that actually he wasn't running around anything because they needed to put him on a chair with wheels was a disappointing awakening.
Glenn Beck
You know, here's the thing. I don't have a problem with somebody in a wheelchair. I own FDR's wheelchair and I think I bought it for the museum because I think it is, it should be the symbol of us winning World War II. Now he hit it. I mean, the reason why the Resolute desk has that little door in the front, you know, that John, John was, you know, opening up in that picture with John F. Kennedy and his son opening up the door underneath the desk, that was never there. That was not part of the Resolute desk. FDR had that installed because that desk was in the map room where he used to do his fireside chats. And he didn't want anybody taking pictures of him in the wheelchair or his legs. And so you, you could see it until they put the door there and they, they finished the door, you know, just in time for him to die. So he never, he never used it. But he was embarrassed by the wheelchair. I think that was his greatest strength. The guy couldn't walk and yet he did. The guy, I mean, he worked so hard with his son every day. Imagine the strength that it took in his upper, upper body and his son's upper body. He would hold on to his son's arm, his son would just put his arm out straight. And they rehearsed every day. They worked out so they could do this, so the son could look like he wasn't putting any effort into it. He was just helping his dad. You know, here, grab onto my arm, dad. And all of the son's strength of that one forearm and FDR grabbing onto his arm, that's what held him upright. And then his son had to look like it was no big deal, as FDR took all of his upper body strength to swing his legs out so he could walk because he had no power below the waist. That is incredible. As they were gassing people that were undesirable or had no quality of life because they had a wooden leg or they had crutches, let alone a wheelchair. The guy who was in the wheelchair beat fdr. I mean, beat Hitler. That's fantastic. So I think it's a sign of strength at times. And I. And if you, you know, need to be in a wheelchair, you need to be in a wheelchair. And I think it would be embarrassing. You know, as you get older, you'd be like, I don't need this chair. You know, you become that grumpy old man. But the problem here is, is that no one in the White House said anything about it. They made him. Literally made special shoes so he could stand. Okay, all right. And then they were talking about after the election, he's got to go in a wheelchair because he just can't. He can't walk anymore.
Stu Burguiere
Again, a lie. Again. Them lying to get themselves through this election. That's the theme here. And why it's really important. It's not important that a guy has to go in a wheelchair in his 80s, like, every. You know.
Glenn Beck
Right. I hope I'm not, but I might be in a wheelchair. I'm 80. I might be in a coffin. Good God.
Stu Burguiere
If you see 80, I'll be stunned. You won't even be able to see 80 from, like, a peak near where you are in the distance.
Glenn Beck
We need to revel. You seem to be, like, counting the salary right now, and then I take over his show.
Stu Burguiere
What's fascinating about this is not that he's going into a wheelchair again, like, that's a normal human development. The fact that we live long enough to get to a point where we need a wheelchair for lifelong wear and tear. Hey, great. It's that they lied to us over and over and over again. In fact, the book talks about one of the lies, and it's hard to see how they could have been any more blatant about what was happening here. I Love this. Throughout 2024, Biden aides told reporters that the President's halting walk was partly the result of him fracturing his foot in November 2020 and then refusing to consistently wear his walking boot. In short, they said Biden was being undone by his own vigor.
Glenn Beck
Oh, my gosh.
Stu Burguiere
That's an awesome Paragraph.
Glenn Beck
Oh, my. I want that framed. I want that framed. That is, if that's not the press in a nutshell. If that's not our political parties in a nutshell. You're so stupid.
Stu Burguiere
But there is a line here. I don't know. I'm struggling with it a little bit. It's incredible. First of all, how did you believe that?
Glenn Beck
You didn't, you didn't, you didn't.
Stu Burguiere
But there's a line here to me, because the media always is gonna have this pathetic excuse of just. Well, we were told this by the aides in the White House, and we reported it. And they're gonna be able to say that and probably with some accuracy. It's probably what happened. Right. The aides probably did just tell them that and they just wrote it. And that's pathetic. And we should criticize their job performance. Right. That's one part of this.
Glenn Beck
Let me just say, in defense of the. Of some of the reporters that didn't have, you know, eyewitness. You were on the edges and you couldn't see any.
Stu Burguiere
Sure.
Glenn Beck
If that's all that you're given, you could speculate, but you can't print that as a news story that he can't walk. He should be in a wheelchair. You can speculate, you can comment on it, you know, but you'd have no evidence as a reporter.
Stu Burguiere
Theoretically. Follow up and be persistent. If you wanted a real answer, you could do your job better. By the way, as I've noted multiple times, Alex Thompson, the co author of the book with Jake Tapper, was one of those reporters who was doing that in the actual. At the actual time.
Glenn Beck
Why would he pick Jake Tapper? I guess because Jake Tapper is the only one with any credibility that's left on, you know, for cnn. For those who are still watching cnn.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I mean, I. It's probably a big name. I don't think everyone knows Alex, which he should. So they think they, you know, and look, I think that helps.
Glenn Beck
Nobody knew Michael Shellenberger.
Stu Burguiere
No, it's true.
Glenn Beck
Now, Michael is a big name because, I mean. And he didn't go, hey, Jake, no, I know you're part of the problem.
Stu Burguiere
But I don't know. I mean, the Jake thing is a separate part of this because I think it's interesting what happens with a book like this. And this is what. I don't want to necessarily focus only on the media and the story, because with Tapper, he comes out and he was not the worst offender of this, by the way, when we went through that period. I mean, people like Joe Scarborough, they don't write this book.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Stu Burguiere
He lied every day as a central part of his show about this topic. And he doesn't come out and write the book and everyone kind of just like forgets about it. Where Tapper does write the book, and now he's gonna be hit over the head over and over and over again because of the one or two clips that are out there, which I would say are somewhat offensive.
Glenn Beck
I, you know, I wouldn't mind having Jay, you know, because they asked you to have Jake Tapper on. I'm like, no, but maybe I, maybe I would. I would like to take that approach and just talk to. About that.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Because it is one thing, you know, most people just never admit it. And I don't think, I mean, is Jake Tapper admitted that, you know, we really did a lousy job?
Stu Burguiere
I mean, I don't know. I mean, this. Yeah, I would say this book kind of says that.
Glenn Beck
I'm going to have to, you know, when it comes to reading that book, I'm going to have to have Grok read that book for me.
Stu Burguiere
I want to read the book. I do. I actually think I'm hopeful, especially with Alex's reporting through this period. I mean, look, again, we're learning about this wheelchair story from this book.
Glenn Beck
Yes.
Stu Burguiere
Like, I mean, I do. I actually have some hope that there will be something in there. And, you know, but again, we do have this.
Glenn Beck
I want to know about the press. I want to know. I want to know who actually did know but was keeping it quiet because we can't let Trump win.
Stu Burguiere
I want to know that, too. However, it's my second priority. My first priority is I want to know every little bit about the people in the White House who are our employees.
Glenn Beck
True.
Stu Burguiere
Lying to the press about this. The press.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, you're right. You're right, you're right, you're right. That is a bigger priority.
Stu Burguiere
I think so. I think that is there is legitimate.
Glenn Beck
Protect and defend the Constitution, criminal activities done by them.
Stu Burguiere
Bad reporting is bad reporting, and those people should be punished for their job performance when they have bad. But that's different from what they did in the White House.
Glenn Beck
We went through a period where we.
Stu Burguiere
Basically had no president for a couple of years and we were constantly being lied to by government employees, which every one of their text messages is part of the government record.
Glenn Beck
This is what really makes me so angry. I'm telling you, if, If Pam Bondi. And it's. I don't think it's her fault. I think it's that the, the DOJ is so riddled with leftist that they can't. They just can't do anything right now. You know, they're still waiting for some more people to be appointed by Congress or the Senate. And I don't know if she has the people around her. This is what I'm hearing, that she just doesn't have the people around her yet to really make any big progress because it is so bogged down with statists and leftists.
Stu Burguiere
Well, we're hearing that from. And we're hearing that from high levels in the government. Like this is in, you know, the Trump administration.
Glenn Beck
Yes.
Stu Burguiere
Like people who are saying, hey, this is not Pam's issue.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Stu Burguiere
So that might be true.
Glenn Beck
But if they don't fix that and the President doesn't come out and start to say, here's why no progress is being made on these things, because this should be investigated. I don't know if anybody could go to jail over this. I mean, I would like it if they've broken a law, and I don't know what law that would be.
Stu Burguiere
Right.
Glenn Beck
But they hid this stuff. And more importantly than hiding it are the. Who was it that used the auto pin? If you look at the. If you look at all of the things that were signed by auto pin, as he started to decline, the last year and a half, the auto pin was almost exclusively used. Well, who was feeding those in? What was this talking about? Yeah, he said to Jake Tapper in one interview, I didn't do that. Yes, you did today, sir. No, I didn't do that. You did today, sir. You just signed it. And he had no idea, no idea who was doing it. That's what I want to know. And that person should go to jail.
Justin Haskins
Right.
Stu Burguiere
Because how many times gone have you done shows about what happened with Woodrow Wilson back in the day? I mean, first of all, that number is too high to calculate. But I mean, specifically on the fact that he wasn't even president for a while. His wife was running the show. He had a stroke and he was incapacitated.
Glenn Beck
He had a stroke. He was giving a speech in California. He had a stroke in the middle of it, just stopped talking. And everybody's like, what is going on? Kind of like Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell just stopped talking. And so they put him on a train, they bring him back to Washington, they put him up in the White House because he's had a massive stroke. He can't communicate, he can't do anything. They're not even sure he could understand anything. His wife hid it and left him up in the bedroom. And she just kind of took over for a while. And she would take. She would attend all of the meetings and say, my husband is just in bed. He's sick, but he wanted me to attend and take notes. She would take notes and then take. And go up, talk to a man who really wasn't there, and then say, he. Okay, so here's what he wants to do. And then take the bills up to him, put his hand on the pin, and then she would sign it.
Stu Burguiere
The original auto pen.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, the original auto pin. That's how. That's how Woodrow Wilson worked in the last year. But it was his own party that ratted him out. Yeah, it was his own party because he was going to run for another term, a third term. And his party was like, we haven't even seen the president. We need to see the president.
Stu Burguiere
Minor issue.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And they would keep coming over there. She's like, ah, no, he's just having a bad day. And finally they said, we're exposing this. Whatever's going on, you're going to be in trouble. And so she brought him down. And he did fairly well, but they knew he wasn't really in charge of his faculties. And she said, he's going to run for another term. And she. And they said, no, no, he's. No, he's not. He's not going to run. But it was them. It was the Democrats that did it.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. And that's huge.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Stu Burguiere
But what I think here, when you think about this is like, that's 100 years ago, right? This just happened.
Glenn Beck
Just happened.
Stu Burguiere
This. This is not a historical. Can you believe this could happen in our country? No, this just occurred right here.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Stu Burguiere
And if we do not do something.
Glenn Beck
About it now, it will occur over and over and over.
Stu Burguiere
God only knows what could happen.
Glenn Beck
This is not a figurehead position. The president is the one who is the commander in chief, makes the decision. The buck stops with him. If you don't know who is at the end of that actually making the decisions, you. You don't have a country. You really do have an oligarchy where powerful people behind the scenes are the ones pulling all of the strings and levers. All right, back in just a minute. Patriot Mobile. Most people choose a cell phone plan like they choose toothpaste. You know, what is ever on sale, whatever is easy, whatever in front of them. But your cell service isn't just a utility. It is a monthly investment. And the question is what is that investment for funding. When you're with, you know, one of the big guys, companies like Verizon, for example, a chunk of your bill goes straight towards activist causes that fight against everything you believe in. That's not an accident. It's not like, you know, they're sending money to Planned Parenthood on accident. What we were aborting babies with our money. Who, what, how did that. They know it. Now you know it. And what are you going to do? Patriot Mobile is different. They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. They give you great coverage because they're on the same cell towers and they put your money to work defending freedom, relig religious liberty and the sanctity of life. You wouldn't let a stranger into your wallet and tell them donate in your name, whatever you want. But why do you do it every month with your phone bill?

Stu Burguiere
So theory here, Glenn, on what's going on here. Tell me if you think this is accurate. They have one shot at this reconciliation bill that's coming up. The big beautiful bill. Yes, that's right around the corner. They're working very hard on that right now. That is the priority quite clearly of what they're doing outside of the day to day. They think they want to get that to the president's desk by July 4, which is a super heavy lift. But I think they're also aware enough to know that there is a good chance that they lose some form of the whether it's the House or whatever. And I think they're trying to prioritize this thinking that they can jam in an investigation or something in year two when it is when the reconciliation bill isn't the priority, essentially like they're they're putting that as essentially the next step.
Glenn Beck
That's good to know that our Congress and Senate can really only focus on one thing.
Stu Burguiere
I'm not saying it's a good thing.
Glenn Beck
We wouldn't accept that from any other branch of government.
Stu Burguiere
Also I'm concerned you could get it done in time and if you lose the House, then the investigation is going to go away. Yeah. So I think like again, these are government employees largely, some of them are campaign people too. But these are people that you can get these records. You can get these emails, you can get these text messages, you can get their signal chats. Everyone loves looking at signal chats these days. Going after those which are. We own them.
Glenn Beck
National Archives.
Stu Burguiere
They're National Archives. This is information we own. They obviously were talking about this. They've shown no ability to restrain themselves when in private. We have to know what, what, how far this went. If it may just have been, hey, gosh, he doesn't look good. I don't know, should we put. The guys should be in a wheelchair. And it's just a conversation that they.
Glenn Beck
Don'T talk about from, not from the people who say don't ever let a crisis go to waste. Justify the means.
Stu Burguiere
I don't believe that's all it was.
Glenn Beck
I don't either.
Stu Burguiere
If that's what it was, that's what it was. And we look at this and wow, wow, that was a crazy time. I can't believe that happened. And we move on.
Glenn Beck
After an investigation.
Stu Burguiere
After an investigation. We, this has to be taken a little bit more seriously right now. It's kind of like, gosh, can you believe what they did with Joe Biden? It's like that's, this is a much more serious issue.
Glenn Beck
Literally lost your republic. We were not a republic represented by people that people voted for. That's what you, that's, that's how you have to understand this story can't happen again. This is Glenn Beck. You know, sometimes you don't realize how bad your sleep is until you finally fix it. You know, you think you're just getting older.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We are so glad that you're here. Thank you so much. Yesterday, I don't know if you've been watching these baby videos that are coming out. I could watch them forever. I can't tell you how many times my wife and I have watched the one with the baby. Interviewing the dog. Oh, I love that. It's just hysterical. But yesterday, somebody on our staff took something that Stu and I were talking about when it came to the Pope. And Stu said, and this is his real name, he wanted to have Pope. What's Pizza Balla? Pizza Ball.
Stu Burguiere
Of him.
Glenn Beck
Pizza Baller. And they took it and they put it in baby form. If you're listening to the radio, you're going to miss out on this. But if you're watching us on X or YouTube or Blaze or wherever you're watching us, you're going to enjoy this watch. But some now information that is coming from us and we don't know our. But from our elbow on the conclave, but we're gonna talk about it anyway.
Stu Burguiere
Can we at least discuss how awesome the names are?
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
My favorite right now. I don't know anything about his politics. Pizza Balla. The guy's last name is Pizza Balla.
Glenn Beck
P, I, Z, Z A B A L, L, A Pizza Ball.
Stu Burguiere
He's a baller.
Glenn Beck
I love that.
Stu Burguiere
That's incredible.
Glenn Beck
I just love it. I know, I know. I mean, it is. It is so incredible. The incredible. Imagine that couldn't have been done six months ago.
Stu Burguiere
No, I mean, it looks completely, it looks real. I mean, it would. It looks like as if it's like Hollywood quality, right? Like, like the new version of. What was it? Was it Three Men and a baby or what was the one who's.
Glenn Beck
Look who's talking.
Stu Burguiere
Who's talking?
Glenn Beck
That's what I'm thinking. And there was a. Do you remember there was some, there was some super bowl commercial where the baby was talking.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, yeah, yeah. E Trade. Yeah, E Trade.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And remember E Trade. Baby loved it. And it, it was really good. But it didn't look like this looks exactly like these babies are real and they're actually talking. It's Incredible. It really is. Have you seen the debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump? Hold on just a second. You put that picture back up of me as the baby because I have to bring in a picture of me about that age. It's, it's almost exactly what I look like. Yeah, yeah, it's almost exactly what I look like. All right. Anyway, the one between Trump and Joe Biden. Yeah. They've been debating for a long time, a lot longer than people would imagine. Really? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, go ahead, roll that. There are 40% fewer people coming across the border legally. That's better than when he left office. And I'm going to continue to move.
Justin Haskins
Until we get the total 80 years.
Glenn Beck
Ago, the total initiative to what we can do with more border patrol and more asylum officers. I really don't know what he said at the end of this. I don't think he knows what he said either. Look, we had the safest border in the history of our country. That $2 trillion tax cut benefited the very wealthy. What I'm going to do is fix the tax system. For example, we have a thousand trillionaires in America. I mean, billionaires in America. And what's happening, they're in a situation where they in fact pay 8.2% in taxes. If they just paid 24%, 25%, either one of those numbers, they'd raised $500 million billion dollars, I should say in a 10 year period, we'd be able to. Right. Wipe out his debt. We'd be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do. It is, it's remarkable. And notice it's because you're done. You just feed it in and it produces this. Did you notice that it's, it had Joe Biden's eyes. Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Facial expression.
Glenn Beck
How do you get it to take on the appearance of. I think it's just taking their face, digitizing it and then de aging to a baby state.
Stu Burguiere
I will say Biden even looks old as a baby, which is incredible.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. I mean, there are babies that look a little like Winston Churchill. You know what I mean? Okay. He needs to burp. It's amazing. I just love it. Anyway, let's talk a little bit about the plane that Donald Trump has been offered by the Qataris. Yeah. Have to say a big no on that. Yeah, me too. Me too. I mean, the President's not going to care what I think about this, but it's just not a good idea. I mean, I understand why he's doing it. I don't get what's going on at Boeing. How is it possible that 17 years of playing. I was in the Oval, and the, the, the plane, the Boeing plane model of it is on the coffee table. Okay. And when he walked in, I have the new one. Yeah. And I was sitting on the couch, and he comes in, I stand up and. And he comes over to me and we were talking for a second, and I said, by the way, this really pisses me off. What Joe Biden did to re. Refigure that whole deal and then how Boeing has just blown this off is really frustrating. It is. I, I thought five minutes into it, I thought, I shouldn't have brought that one up. That one's hitting a little close to home because he was smoked. Oh, really? He was smoked. Betty was. I mean, he's like, what, what does the United States of America do? You got Boeing. What do we write? What am I going to get by an Airbus? I can't buy an Airbus. And he's like, if this was a private company, if, you know, if I wasn't the President of the United States, he's like, I think I would be suing them right now. But the President can't sue Boeing. Yeah. So what? What? Honestly, this is your money. What do you do? Not like that. You know what? The contract was $3.9 billion. And say, that's not enough. I know. They can't finish it for that. I know. Are you kidding me? And Trump said to me, he said, it may be 20, 27, 28. He said, they're saying 2035. Yeah, they're saying maybe 10 years. That's what he said. It'll be 10 years, Glenn, before we see that plane. The plane real. The plane we have right now is, is from 1990. It was the plane that Ronald Reagan ordered. Okay, George W. Bush, or. I'm sorry, George H.W. bush was the first president to fly in it. And it's because Reagan ordered it. What do you mean? It's going to take until 2035? They ordered it in 2018. Right, right. That is a company that is completely out of control. Radically, radically wrong at Boeing. Yeah, Radically wrong. So no wonder, you know, he's open now. I wouldn't mind if, you know, if a country had, you know, a plane like that, if Qatar had a plane, and we decided, you know what? Boeing, we're cutting the contract. Yeah. And then buying that plane from any country as long as we could make sure that it was sound and everything else. But buying that plane and then bringing it over here and saying, okay, make this Air Force One and putting everything into it. If it was Great Britain, I'd be fine with that. I don't mind. I don't know. Bought it from them. I wouldn't, I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with that. I mean, we buy things from Qatar, Qatar buys things from us. I don't agree with. Qatar is not a friend of ours. Sorry, they're not a friend. Fun terrorists has Hamas, Hezbollah. The Muslim Brotherhood is largely from Qatar and under the direction of Qatar. We are not friends with Qatar. We shouldn't be. Trump is close with the Qataris. I mean, every president seems to end up being close to the Qataris, but they are whitewashing their Hamas. You know, they're largely responsible for a lot of the really bad stuff that goes on and they never get credit for it. Yeah. And they need to. But I mean, if you're going to buy something from them, that's fine. Buy it. By the way, did you see that? Go ahead.
Stu Burguiere
Buying a plane that is going to carry our president around.
Glenn Beck
As I said, as long as it can be fully vetted. I don't know. I don't know what they could hide or what could happen.
Stu Burguiere
No, I don't know that we would either.
Glenn Beck
I know, I know, I know.
Stu Burguiere
But that would be my concern. I mean, the appearance of it especially, because, again, it's not just going to the presidency, it's going to the presidency until the day that Trump leaves and he then goes to Trump's library. That just looks bad politically for a million different reasons.
Glenn Beck
Really bad.
Stu Burguiere
But like this, my real concern over it, even more than that would be the whether it's secure, that it's built.
Glenn Beck
Out of 95% listening devices right now with even more listening devices. Yeah, that's it. You know, I. But I don't know if that's listening.
Stu Burguiere
Devices made out of listening devices.
Glenn Beck
I'm not even sure that that is possible because they would have to go in, they would have to strip that thing. Just don't trust them. Yeah. You know, just don't trust them.
Stu Burguiere
Going back to your Oval Office conversation, though, is this just something where he's. He is overton windowing all of us again? Which is what he does. He's saying like, hey, maybe we need to cancel this with Boeing.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. I wonder, honestly, because he, he just left it at that. He just ranted for a while about how incompetent this is, how bad this is, how, you know, much trouble Boeing must be in to treat the United States of America like this. And, and so maybe the most important plane we have, it's going to take you 17 years to finish and $4 billion plus. Come on. It's just wrong. It's just so wrong. So wrong. I mean, if Boeing, I don't know what you're doing. Boeing, I don't know whose plane you're working on that takes priority, but I don't know. I think you would want to move the President's plane to the top of the list, seeing that, you know, you know what, that, you know what Air Force One costs us just to maintain it is. Let's see if I can find the stats on this. It is stunning because it's 19. It's 1980. And, and so out of date. They, if they're, if a part goes down, they have to have it specifically made. There's no parts drawer anymore. Yeah. Because these are old. Yeah. Parts. Yeah. And so, wow. When, when they fly it, it is like, I think it's, ah, shoot, I have it someplace. I think it's like three or four hundred thousand dollars an hour. Like 299 an hour. An hour or two to fly it. That includes the fuel, the crew, and hourly maintenance. Okay, so $299,000 an hour. And they say in additional stuff, because this is all classified, they have to estimate, but they estimate that just the repairs on these, because we have two of them, just the repairs to keep them flying now, is anywhere between 40 and 60 million dollars every year. I mean, wow. I don't know. Boeing, you might want to pick it up a little bit, you know. Well, I mean, wait a minute, hang on just a second. We do have the Enola Gay and the Wright brothers playing in the Smithsonian. Maybe we can use those for the President. Thanks. Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed. Ever notice how calm it feels right before everything changes? Housing market was fine in 2007. Take tech stops. Stocks were booming in 2000. And everybody's like, oh, it's all under control. All right? Up until the point they weren't. Same thing is happening now. The debt, inflation, the global instability. I'm going to talk about what's happening in Europe and, and what's happening in England. It is really not good, the news that is coming out of there today. But I'm telling you, it might feel calm and safe right now, but it's, it's, it could go away quickly. That's why there's this huge rush on gold right now and nobody knows who's buying it. And it has to be there. We're actually speculating that it might be us. Thank God. I hope it is. That's buying up, you know, bundles and bundles of gold, pounds of gold. Because China already did it. Russia already did it. The rest of the world, their central banks already did it. Maybe we did it as well. If you're looking for a sign, you might want to look at the price of gold. It's insane right now, and it's only going up. Call 800-957-Gold. Gold or silver. You can buy it at any level that you're at. Please call 800-957-Gold. Look at Gold or Silver now with Lear Capital. 800-957-Gold. More Glenn Beck coming up next.
Stu Burguiere
One of the first things Glenn taught me when I was writing comedy was don't use the word underwear. Use the word underpants. Because it's a funnier word.
Glenn Beck
It's a funnier word. It is. Underpants is funnier than underwear.
Stu Burguiere
A company now has improved on it. Gunderpants. Yes, Gunderpants. This is brand new. Gunderpants. This is incredible. It's an innovation born from battlefield wisdom, yet perfect for civilian life. Imagine carrying your firearm within the comfort of your favorite undergarments. Yes.
Glenn Beck
So that is a pistol in your pocket. It is.
Stu Burguiere
A pistol in your pocket transforms this concept into reality through tactical leisure design created by army rangers who understood that everyday carry should never compromise comfortable or security. The genius lies in the proprietary waistband system that cradles your weapon in more ways than one against your body. Like a protective embrace, traditional holsters dig into your flesh and they telegraph your preparedness to the world. Gunderpants eliminates these telltale signs by distributing weight across your waistline, while the retention system keeps your firearm stable whether you're sprinting through a park or sitting through a lengthy meeting.
Glenn Beck
I want, I want a pair of these.
Stu Burguiere
They are cool. They are really cool. Many Americans leave their protection at home because, you know, sometimes it can be unbearable after hours. With the old school ways, the rangers who developed Gunderpants face the same challenge. Well, I'll tell you about that. It's gunderpants.com use the promo code Blaze for 10% off your first order. Gunderpants.com promo code is Blaze. Get them now. Gunderpants.com.
Glenn Beck
That plane, the Qatari aircraft, been sitting in San Antonio for a while, apparently. I don't know why, but I want to go to San Antonio. I want to go on it.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, we, we can make use of that, right, Glenn? I mean, I think a lot of times People just. They'll just park their old cars around or whatever, and they think that, you know, and if they sit there too long.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Stu Burguiere
They don't run. So we will make sure to that.
Glenn Beck
Over the next few weeks. Yeah, it would be cheap to do that, too. I just love to see it. But it's sitting there. Here's the President talking about it.
Justin Haskins
Let me tell you, you should be.
Glenn Beck
Embarrassed asking that question. They're giving us a free jet. I could say, no, no, no, don't give us. I want to pay you a billion or 400 million or whatever it is. Or I could say, thank you very much. You know, there was an old golfer named Sam Snead. Did you ever hear of him? He won 82 tournaments. He was a great golfer. And he had a motto. When they give you a putt, you say, thank you very much. You pick up your ball and you walk to the next hole.
Stu Burguiere
A lot of people are stupid.
Glenn Beck
They say, no, no, I insist on putting it. Then they putt it, and they miss it, and their partner gets angry at them. You know what? Remember that, Sam Snead, when they give you a putt, you pick it up and you walk to the next hole and you say, thank you very much. You know, I don't. I actually like that. And I don't think that he could be bought. You know, I don't think he's going to be bought for, you know, he's just not going. He's not that kind of guy. However, I just don't like the optics of it. But there's part of me that goes, yeah, they're going to give it to us as long as it's secure. As long. Take it, right? You get nothing in exchange. Take it.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. You know, obviously, we've accepted, you know, presidents have accepted presidents before. The issue is usually going to the. The archives or whatever, right?
Glenn Beck
So this, this. The thing I don't like about it is if he takes it, it's not going to him. It's going to the Defense Department first, because the Air Force runs Air Force One. So go to the Defense Department, and that's who's getting the gift. But then when he leaves office, I think it would be much better if. If he would take it to say, no, not when I leave office. When Boeing delivers Air Force One, right? When they are done, and it might be 10 years, then that jet can be retired, but until that time, it belongs to the United States and the people of the United States. That would be the thing for him to say. And, and, and do that would soften it. But I think there's. It's, you know, if you really don't think he should have it or take it, a. You really need to look up what the cost of these two planes are that we are getting from Boeing and the cost of what the two old planes are costing us to keep it in the air. And it's, it's not good. The President, I don't think is safe in the. I mean, he's safe, but this is 1990s. This plane is from the 19. From 1990. Okay. Um, so it's way out of date. With that being said, it's fine. President can go in an old plane. Um, but if you really don't want him to take it, then you should put the heat on. Boeing shouldn't be on. The President should be on Boeing.
Stu Burguiere
And I feel.
Glenn Beck
Are you doing Boeing?
Stu Burguiere
And I don't know, I could be wrong on this, but that's what it feels like to me, is that he's. This is his way of turning up the heat on Boeing.
Glenn Beck
That would, you know, you act like he's such a good negotiator. You're acting like he always moves the Overton window.
Stu Burguiere
He certainly does.
Glenn Beck
He does. Yeah. Well, what are you doing, Boeing? I mean, the outrage really should be on Boeing today. Let's save your outrage on. See if he actually takes it or if this is a ploy. But everyone should be paying attention to Boeing. You've taken our money. Where's the plane? This is Glenn Beck. By the time today is over, another American farm will shut down. And tomorrow it will happen again. Not because they did anything wrong, but because it's getting harder and harder to compete. Foreign meat imports have seen to that, at least for now. Meanwhile, the people who raise our food, our own farmers, our own ranchers, are getting squeezed out of their livelihoods. This is very bad for all of us.

This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello, America. There's a lot going on. I know a lot of people want to talk about Air Force One and Qatar. We. We talked about it for a few minutes. But I would just. If I may quote the Federalist. It took America less time to win and fight World War II than it is for Boeing to complete two planes. What does that say about the America that you grew up in? What does that say about American companies, American ingenuity? We fought and won World War II in less time than Boeing now can deliver two planes. That's insane. All right, I want to talk about what's happening to us as a culture and as the West. We'll do that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about my Patriot supply. You can always tell who's prepared because they're not the ones running around in a panic. You know, they're not. They're just not doing it when things go sideways, sideways. They're the ones who are calm. They're the ones who help their neighbors. They're the ones who don't have to scramble because they already took care of the basics. In an uncertain world that we live in now, there is something powerful about knowing you've done all the work ahead of time. You've got your food put away. You have water filtration on hand, backup for power in the grid. You don't need to broadcast. In fact, you should be quiet about it, but you know you're ready. And that's peace of mind. It's worth more than gold when the moment comes. My Patriot supply makes that kind of readiness easy to reach. They've been doing it for years, helping ordinary people get prepared for emergencies. Because real preparedness isn't driven by fear. It's driven by wisdom. We can't control what's going on in the world, but we can control how prepared we are for it. There's a $200 discount, only available for a limited time right now@my patriotsupply.com $200 off my patriotsupply.com get peace of mind while it's still available. My patriotsupply.com. so, you know, I've been watching Europe for a while now. We've talked about Europe and the. The. The race to death that they seem to be in. And right now, you have. You have the prime minister of England, Starmer, you have the president of France, and you have the chancellor of Germany. All meeting. Taking time on a train. Not to do coke. I mean, maybe, but I don't think so, but to actually talk about things. And what were they talking about? A new treaty aimed at resetting British relations with the European Union. Okay. I mean, I guess that's. I guess that's, you know, great. Did they hear what the. The Swedish prime minister has just come out and said. This is the prime minister of Sweden. Quote, we do not have control over the wave of violence. And that is quite obvious. Yeah. Their prisons are overcrowded. They've got. They've been overrun with refugees that are not assimilating. And you're about to lose Sweden. And when Sweden falls, Brussels falls. When Brussels falls, France falls. When France falls, England falls, Germany falls. That. That's what's coming in our lifetime, and probably not too far in our lifetime. You know, they say history doesn't repeat itself, but I'm telling you, it does rhyme, okay? And as you watch Europe, not as a tourist watches a cathedral crumble, but as a man on shore watches a wave growing on the horizon going. I think that's coming towards us. And it's getting bigger. Not fast, but undeniable. It's not just about England or France or Sweden. It's not about immigration or economics or even culture. It's about something much deeper. A civilization that has forgotten what made it strong in the first place, what made it free. And we are down that same path, and we have a chance to change that. And there are a lot of people that are awake, but there's far too many that are not. And they're living. They're living in this dream world that we can have it all, that America can just keep going on the way it's been going on. And if they don't believe that there's another category of people and that. That category is the people who are like, uh, it's just gonna be civil war. Well, bring it on. No, no. Have you seen Haiti? That's what happens with countries that go into civil war. You don't want that. Now, I un hersi Alley. Somebody I really, really respect. She's a woman who stood against actual darkness, against radicalism, censorship, the silencing of truth. You name it, she has Been through it. She just said recently, an answer to the question, what is your biggest fear that keeps you up at night? And she said that Europe will collapse. She said that's very real. And it's happening. Not that it will. Not that it will decay, not that it will decline, but it will collapse into violence. You know, Europe is not just a continent, it's a cultural mirror. Because America was born out of its legacy of Athens, of Rome, of Jerusalem and even London. If Europe falls into chaos, it's not some far off event, it is a warning shot across the Atlantic and we are no longer insulated because of this global nightmare. Remember when they said the banks are too big to fail, we gotta bail them out? Why did they say that? Because all of the banks were connected to one another. So when one fails, it's catastrophic failure across the entire system. That's why Europe matters. That's why America matters. Western Europe is, is going through massive, eternal, in internal pressure. And the people know it. But you know, their leaders are on a train, you know, talking about how, how can we bring Brexit, you know, to its knees. The, the real problem here is our problems are spiritual. The old guard that actually believed in liberty and faith and sovereignty, they've been replaced by technocrats and bureaucrats and a generation that has been raised to believe that nothing is sacred, that borders are immoral, that the past is shameful and the future belongs to anyone but them. You don't have a society, you don't have a civilization, if that's what the next generation believes. Now you layer in all of the stuff that makes us fragile. A fragile economy, aging populations depend, dependency on foreign energy. Millions of migrants, most of them not actually refugees, and certainly most of them have not assimilated. Many of them, especially the young men, alienated, angry. And they see the host country not as refuge, but as weak, ripe, ready. You know, when I say the host countries for these refugees, you know there's another way to use the word host. And that is for a parasite, it needs a host and it burrows itself in and it just will consume that host body until it kills it. And then it'll find another host. Well, killing it to this parasite, killing it is a good thing. Killing the west is a very good thing. And this, by the way, is not conjecture. Riots in Paris, stabbings in London. Whole neighborhoods where police dare not enter. All of the things that you were told were just rumors. They were lies. They were conspiracy theories. Political leaders afraid to even name the threat, because now the truth is hate speech. If you think America is divided, Europe is fractured. So what happens when the pressure becomes too much and things finally break? When governments lose control? Like the prime minister in Sweden just said, we can no longer control the wave of violence. Well, when you can't control that, you certainly. Civil services are shut down. What happens when you're not sending out checks? What happens when nationalism to the extreme, not the good kind of nationalism, the very dangerous nationalism, returns not with pride, but with rage. I mean, I think we've seen this in Europe a couple of times before in the last century. It never ends peaceful, not with peaceful elections and orderly debates. Now. It usually ends up with some short little guy. That's how it ends traditionally in Europe. So what does that mean for us? This is what I want you to understand. Whenever you see anything happening in Europe, I want you to understand how close it is. Do you remember that feeling we all had after September 11th when those planes crashed in to the towers and then they crash in the field in Pennsylvania and then crashed into the Pentagon, and we're like, we are under attack. And we all realized that day how fragile our freedom in our country really was, that it could be taken from us overnight. We seem to forget that and we go into this dream world that it'll always be this way. But I want you to understand, when Europe collapses, the American markets collapse, banks probably collapse, prices through the roof, supply chain completely breaks. You're looking at a different world. And then you get the refugees because there will be millions of desperate people that are actually going to be refugees because the violence is so horrid in their European countries. They'll have to get out and they will flood people's borders, they will come across the ocean. And then what do we do? Then what do we do? And when Europe falls, who fills the void? Russia, China, Iran? Don't think they haven't been thinking about this. Don't think they aren't watching and waiting because we're, you know, we're too busy with our drag shows and, you know, our debating, our pronouns, and they're studying war. They're preparing for what they see is inevitable. In every other instance of every other civilization, you hit these markers and you collapse. So. So then what? So what does that even mean? What do you do there? Okay, give me 60 seconds and I'll show you how you turn this around. If you've ever noticed how dogs have a way of making everything more. You know, a walk just isn't a walk.

We have so much work to do to really be self reliant. Can you read a map anymore? Do you think your kids can read a map? Not a chance. Can they read a map? Do they know how to read a compass? Do they know how to chart their course with the sun and stars? Not a prayer. My kids, if they get down to the start. If I get down to the stars and the sun, forget it. We're not going anywhere. But these are some of the foundational things that we, we have to, we need to educate ourselves. And we don't have to start there. We should get there, but we don't have to start there. And it's not on current events. We, we have got to stop getting our news from social media. If social media is all that you read and the way you get your news, you are a danger to yourself and everyone around you because you will be convinced that you know what's going on. I see a social media. I'm on my feed all the time. How do I not? You have no idea. You're a danger. We need to study about Weimar Republic, about the Balkans, about the collapse of Rome. It's because history is not just history. It's not just a story. It's a, it's a user's manual. And when you see history, you're like, ah, don't do that. And then you can build up resistance, resilience. Not just food and water, that's. But emotional resilience, spiritual clarity. How many of us could face a massive storm, lose everything you have, everything you have, not know what the future holds and you still have your spiritual clarity. A lot of people will say, oh, I will. But you know, as I talk to Special Forces friends who, you know, have been tortured, they all say, the ones who said, oh, I wouldn't, I wouldn't give up a thing, they all say they're the first to break because they're arrogant. They haven't really thought it through. Well, you have. What, what do you have to do right now to have spiritual clarity, moral grounding? Because chaos isn't going to just take your house or your job. It takes the sense of who you are and puts you into a place where you're like, I'll do anything to survive. But would you? Should you do anything to survive? The third thing we have to do is after we learn and after we prepare ourselves, then we have to start standing for truth. Because the world has been hollowed out by lies. Some soft lies, some cruel lies, but they all rot. The soul and the soul of who we are as a nation, as a, as a civilization. And when truth becomes dangerous and saying it becomes a revolutionary act, you're in trouble. You have to be willing to speak even when it costs you. And more and more people are. And that's the good thing, you know, the west isn't going to fall this time when the bombs drop. It falls when the people who know better stop defending it because they're too comfortable, they're distracted, they're too entertained. They don't think it could happen to them. Did you see the latest poll coming out of England? Most young people have no desire to ever put on a uniform of their country to defend their country if it were under attack. Now, I can't believe that's true, but that's what, that's how they're responding in polls because. And why is that? Because they don't know. They don't know what anything means anymore. You know when the cathedrals do, you know, in Europe, the cathedrals are all being repurposed, if they're not being bombed, they burn them down. Almost one a day now, and they're all being repurposed. And in many cases they're literally being handed over to other gods. And yet too many of us are still just shrugging it off. You know what happens in Brussels or Berlin or Birmingham. We'll never touch Boise. But rot always reaches its root. The difference, the only difference is time. And we have some time, so we should use it wisely. Look, I hope what the president is doing is going to work. But do you know it will work? Because if you really understand how deep our problems go, I'm not sure it will work. Think of what we're facing. We're facing debt that no country has ever turned around on. We are facing a cultural rot that no country has ever turned around on. We have birth rates that. That no civilization has ever turned around on. Now, I don't say that to depress you. I say that to inspire you, to say, okay, so what are you going to do about it? Because you could either give up or you can do something about it. We. We. We first have to decide what is worth saving. What is. We have to teach this to our kids. What's worth saving? What is good about this society, about this civilization? What's beautiful? I mean, you wouldn't think anybody would understand beauty and art when we've got. I was at a museum over someplace in Europe, in Italy, just the other day, and it was. It was rebar. It was rebar that they had rusty rebar. That's what took the time. Wrapped around a cement pole, and that was sitting next to a Greek statue as art. I'm sorry. One of those things will be found in the dust and rubble of a civilization, and they'll go, my gosh, look at this civilization. The other will go, that's dust and rubble. Throw it away. It says nothing about us except that we are a society that no longer even recognizes beauty. We are being told what's beautiful. Have you ever gone into a museum and you see things and you're like, what the hell is that? Now I go into museums and I see stuff all the time that I don't like. I wouldn't want to hang in my wall, but I can appreciate it. But I'm sorry, the cement post with a rebar wrapped around it, you know what that is? That's a scam. That is the elite probably being scammed by the artist. You know, like, you know, really is the meaning behind that one or the. The museum going, yeah, well, it's meaningless. And that's where you find beauty is in meaningless. Meaninglessness. Well, no, you don't. You don't. Everything has meaning, and if it doesn't, you should stop doing it. We all have to find the meaning in our life that's why our kids are killing ourselves. They don't think there's meaning in anything. Well, why would they? There's no meaning in social media. There's no meaning in their friends. There's no meaning in the likes. There's, there's, there's no meaning in anything anymore. That is what we have to repair. We have to find the things that have meaning and bolster them and bring them closer in our lives with courage and conviction. Not fear, but resolve. And the time is growing shorter and shorter every day. History is watching what we will do right now. This, this is Glenn Beck. You know, sometimes the next big chapter in your life starts with a front door key. A new house isn't just a different set of walls. It's a reset of your entire life and the life of your family. It's a chance to put down roots, to try something new, to move closer to family or maybe further away from them. To finally have that workshop, that home office, that backyard. Whatever the opportunities you're looking for, you have to realize before you even start. This is a big, big deal and it has to be handled right.

Glenn Beck
So our in studio producer, Sarah, Sarah Sullivan. Been working with me for 25 years, just about 25 years. And I love talking to her because she's, I mean she drinks a lot because you know, she has to listen to this every day. And we got into the break and what did you just say to me? I said that you can say it's not depressing all you want, but it's depressing. And, and that is, you know, that is that that was me trying to explain to you what, what the truth is and Sometimes the truth can be depressing. You're right. However, let me refer, Let me rephrase the optimistic part. Why is Boeing. Why did we order 2747 in 2018? And now Boeing is saying they could come at 2028, which is a 10 year period, two planes, um, but it may not be out until 2035 or 36. How is that possible? How is that possible? I'll tell you how. They have forgotten who they are. That's all that is required. You know, and I don't think the workers have, because I. Look, my family, much of my family worked at Boeing. Still does. They're, they're working every day at Boeing and they love Boeing. They don't like what it's become because they, they know what it used to be like because of their parents or our grandparents, and they know what Boeing is capable of. The, the reason why it takes this from Boeing and we're accepting it is because all of us have become like this. We have become a society where no one says, yes, we can, we can do that. Yes, we can. Nobody says that, except if it's used by a politician to use as a slogan to promote dependency on a government. Because what they're really selling you is, no, you really can't. But with the government, you can. That was, that was. That is not America. It's not America. We have to remember who we are and what the secret is. And the secret is remembering the principles that got us here in the first place and then saying, yeah, I can do that. I knew that. I can do anything. You've been convinced that you can't or you're not allowed to. What are you talking about? Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Boeing, shame on you. Shame on you. You. Every employee should be going in and saying to the management, shame on you for shaming us. Shame on you. You become so much about, I don't even know what the numbers, corruption, dei, I don't even know what your problem is. Boeing. But it didn't start with the workers. It started in the home office. It starts on the floor where all the elites are gathering. You've made it about something else other than building airplanes. And, you know, people will think that they have no way to change things. Imagine what it was like in World War II. In World War II, you are, you're just ahead of a company. And you, you can't, you can't turn things around. Okay, yesterday I, I bought something, I traded, I collect watches and I traded almost all of them in for one watch. Because this watch is so important historically, and I'm wearing it today. And it's called the POW watch because it comes from POWs. Back in World War II, the. The President of Rolex didn't know what to do, didn't know how he could help. And he's reading about all the prisoners that are in POW camps in Germany, and he wants to do something, so he sends. He sends the. The head guy, the. The head POW of the camp, like a box of watches. It's like you give them out to whoever you think deserves them or needs them. And, you know, and don't worry about paying. Don't worry about paying us back. Well, he's doing it as a gift. But what happens. These are some of the first, like, Daytonas. This is before the Daytona was ever made. The chronograph on the front. So the guy gets it and he's like, wait a minute. Now we have a precision way to time things. We can time the changing of the guards. We can time how long it takes for them to come around. And we can find the averages. We now know time because we have a precision timepiece. The guy at Rolex, he had no idea what he was doing. If you've ever watched the movie the Great Escape, that's a true story. We have many of the pieces over at the museum. We have a piece of the pedestal that the, that the old Franklin stove set on that they had to move as they were digging. We have a ton of the stuff that they used. But one of the most important things they used was a watch just like this one, a POW watch. There's only a handful of them left. Why are they important? Because it was the watch that helped them escape. Helped them escape. It didn't do the work for them. The first thing they had to remember is they're not POWs. They're not. They are British and American and French soldiers, and they are meant to be free and they're meant to get out of there. Now, there were people who were like, no, let's not do that. It'll just cause so much trouble. Thank God the most of them said, yes, we can. We're going to do it. Now. Boeing. Let me just give you this statistical. As you. As you're sitting there, think we can't complete this airplane? Glenn, it's really complex. Let me just give you a couple of stats. There were three escapes. What were they? Tom, Dick, and Harry. I think that's what they're called. Three different escapes. Okay, let me just give you the stats. On one of them, they dug a two by two foot hole. I mean, this gives me claustrophobia thinking about it. They dug a two by two foot hole underneath the floorboards of one of the. One of the, you know, barracks. Barracks. They had to hide all of that. And they dig a 2 by 2 foot hole. They first have to dig that 30ft down. 2 by 2 foot hole, 30ft down then. And by the way, they don't have shovels. They don't have any of that stuff. Okay. They're making whatever it is they use then in that 2 by 2 foot hole, then they have to start digging 336ft horizontally so they can get out from under the wire and arrive at the other side. Hey, 336. Two by two. Just think about removing the dirt. How do they remove that much dirt without getting caught? And it might be easier when you're pushing dirt up from the. From the hole for the first 30ft. But what happens when you're going 300 and what was it, 336ft horizontally. How do you get that dirt out? They had to design almost a train track that was bringing that dirt out for every inch. They did. Every inch of dirt had to be removed. And they couldn't just take it out in, you know, wheelbarrows and dump it someplace. How could they move that much dirt without anyone knowing that they were moving that much dirt? They devised a system in their pants to where each of them could put a little bit of dirt in their pants. And then when they got out to the yard and they would walk around, they would slowly let that dirt fall onto their shoes and onto the ground as they walked. And then they just kind of kick it into place. Do you know how much dirt that was? And they never got caught. Shame on you, Boeing. You can't. Oh, you can't finish a couple of planes, huh? You know how long it took them to do that with no tools, no electricity, no lights? Can't get caught covering it all up. 10 months. 10 months. It's called the Great Escape. That's a really cute, uplifting story. But did you know AI is going to be able to tell us what our pets are saying? Okay. All right. I want you to know that what Sarah says is right. Nobody's ever come back from this. But no one had ever escaped from Stalag 13. No one had ever done it. No one had ever crossed the Rocky Mountains. Nobody had ever gone to space. No one had ever gone to the moon. We are a nation of that's never been done before. That's what we do. That's who we Europe. That's not you, but that is us. Because every single one of us, someplace in our family history, somebody, if you've been here, you know, prior to it, maybe 1920, if your family was here prior to 1920, you came over on a boat. Do you know what that was like? I don't want to go on a boat back then, especially if I was, you know, in the chattel class. You know, my family, they came over here in the 1800s. And I can guarantee you none of them were up on the top deck of the boat. They were all down, you know, shoveling poop out the window. I don't know what they were doing, but it wasn't pretty. And now I'm going to piss this away when they worked so hard to get us here to have these. See, that again is the problem. Once you forget why people came here in the first place. Once you forget and are told, no, you can't, you can, yes, you can, if the government will help you, but you can't do it on your own. Once you're taught that and you forget who you actually are. This is why family heritage is so important. Read about your family, figure out who your family do, your family tree. There's somebody in there in my family. When I got my family tree back, this is what the person said to me. I would like to tell you that there's somebody famous or great in your family. But we went back generations. There's, it's. It's littered with nobodies. However, I found two heroes in my family. Two. And they're not heroes by anybody else's standard, but they are mine. I had two. And a great great grandfather and a great great uncle that fought in the Civil War. And they were on the right side. Now, because they're my relation, they were caught, like the first week and they were put into Andersonville. The worst, most notorious. I mean, you want to talk about Auschwitz, that was Auschwitz of the South. They were put there where thousands of people died. It was horrific. One of them died, the other one survived. And according to his wife was never the same from it. I can imagine. But they fought on the right side. And one of them survived. And nobody survived Andersonville, but he did. You have to find your strength someplace. You have to find who you really are. You have to find. And you'll find it. Usually when you find God, who you really are, and the strength that you actually have inside of you. And then if you happen to be part of a group, Boeing. You need to look at each other and go, come on, man, is this us? For the love of Pete. Maybe it's because I grew up in Seattle. You're Boeing. You're Boeing. That's what you want the world to think of you. Boeing used to lead the way. You're either going to lead the way or get the hell out of the way. Give us our money back for those planes, and we'll find some company that will build them here in America. What are you doing? Either do it right or get out of the way. That's the message that should be heard from Boeing employees to their bosses. Like, now. Back in just a minute. We talked to you about pre born. It's one of the most powerful moments in human life. When a mom hears her baby's heartbeat for the very first time. There's no script for how she's going to react. Sometimes there's tears, sometimes there's laughter. Sometimes they're just silence, kind of an awe as the reality of what's really happening sinks in. Now, she may have walked into that clinic confused, overwhelmed, unsure of her future, because what she heard was, you got to get rid of it. There's nothing you can do about. You can't have. You can't do it. But when she hears that sound, that heartbeat, it'll cut through everything that she heard before. And in that instant, something changes. And that's why preborn exists for that moment. They provide free ultrasounds to women in crisis pregnancies, offering not just a medical service, but a window into the truth of what's growing inside of them. They also provide additional care for up to two years with that woman and her baby. So for many women, that glimpse of life is all they need to decide to choose life. When you give to preborn, that's what you're giving. You're giving her that chance to hear, to see, to know and decide. I'm not going into fear. I'm going to decide with love to get involved.

You're just going about your morning routine. Coffee's brewing, news is playing, and then a letter arrives from a bank you never heard of, demanding a payment of a loan that you never took. This is home title theft, and it has become one of the fastest Growing crimes in America. Digital thieves can scan public property records and forge documents and then legally transfer your home's title into their name. They take out massive loans against your equity, and they just disappear. By the time most homeowners discover what happened, their equity has vanished faster than a campaign promise. You think your bank monitors for this? They don't. You think your Identity Protection Service helps you with this? It doesn't. Your insurance policy? Unfortunately, no. Not there either. This protection gap is exactly why Home Title Lock exists. Their system creates a virtual barrier around your property records, and they monitor your title 24 7. They tell you the moment that anyone attempts to screw with it. They have experts that block the fraudulent transfers before your equity disappears. Because once that money vanishes, the legal battle to reclaim your property begins. For most Americans, home equity is their largest asset. It's their retirement security. It's their legacy. AI right now is changing the world. We know that. But don't let it change the name on your home's title, because that's a big part of this.

Stu was just telling me about. Where is it? Riyadh? Yes, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. So it's probably built with slaves, but what did they just build?
Stu Burguiere
Brett Baird covered this. A diverse entertainment hub in the heart of Riyadh. And it took. I mean, it's massive. You know, it's like. It looks like a giant times square times 10. Took 118 days to build the entire thing from beginning to end.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Stu Burguiere
We used to be able to do that stuff.
Glenn Beck
We did that with the world. I'm not sure the World Trade center, but with the Empire State Building, we built that thing in, like, nine months. Nine months. The Empire State Building, back when old timey stuff was used to move that stuff. I mean, all it requires is just, I'm gonna do that, and that's that. That. That should be the hopeful part of this. Once you know who you are, once you know what's worth saving, you know, is the west worth saving? That's. I think, the first thing you have to answer. Is it worth saving? I think yes, for a myriad of reasons. Yeah. I think this culture is worth saving. Not all of it, not the way it is. I mean, it's sick right now, but it's worth saving the best parts of. And then working to fix the parts that, you know, aren't so Good. You know, but science, rule of law. I mean actual science, rule of law, free speech, all of those things that came from this culture. I don't want to go back in the darkness. I don't want to go backwards. Those things are worth fighting for and standing for. But you got to know what those things are first. And then you have to decide. Oh, you want to build the Empire State Building? Oh, you. When do you need it by? Nine months. All right, we can do that. That's who we are, gang. That is who we are. Not this lie we believe about ourselves today. This is Glenn Beck. Let me talk to you about my Patriot supply. When the power goes out, everything stops.

This is the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I have one of my favorite people, Justin Haskins. He's the President of our republic and editor chief of Stoppingsocialism.com. he's the guy who we co wrote the great Reset Dark Future and Propaganda wars and he's on with some really fascinating polls, some good news, some bad news about what is happening with AI and how people are responding to this. We'll get there in just a minute. First let me tell you about good ranchers. We're in a moment right now where one policy shift, one international dispute could send grocery prices through the roof. And if these tariffs don't back down, one of the first places you're going to feel it is in the meat aisle, which is kind of good in a way because people should know, wait a minute, why am I paying higher prices for meat? Because a lot of our meat comes from overseas. Even if it has that little made in America flag, you know, sticker on it. No, it just means it was either packaged or cut or whatever here in America. But it doesn't mean they were on a ship for a long time coming over here. Every cut, cut that you get now from, from good ranchers, every, every cut they sell, every box they deliver comes 100%. American farms and ranches, that is where it originates. There are no foreign supply chains. There are no international price shocks. Just high quality meat from right here at home. For a limited time when you subscribe, you're going to get free meat for life. That means ground beef, wild caught salmon seed free or seed oil free, free chicken nuggets, bacon, whatever you want for the rest of your life. As long as you have your subscription, you'll get it every month. Tariff proof your meats with good ranchers.

Justin Haskins
I'm doing great. I'm doing really well. It's great to be back here.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, thank you. Thank you for flying in. I wanted to talk to you about AI. I know you've been doing some research on, you know, polling and there's some good news and, you know, some, I guess, some inevitable news as well. But let me ask you, how are you feeling generally about the state of where we are in AI? Is this something in dark future we really talked about? We even talked about in the great reset and propaganda wars. But this is something I have been talking about for 30 years. Yeah, 35 years. And it's here now. How are you feeling about where things are going?
Justin Haskins
Oh, I'm terrified.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Justin Haskins
I'm terrified Stu, Stu's gonna, you know, he's the odd man out of this conversation.
Stu Burguiere
Are you, you're not, are you not terrified?
Justin Haskins
I don't know. Are you terrified?
Glenn Beck
I think he's deeply concerned. You're not terrified?
Stu Burguiere
I mean, of what part?
Glenn Beck
What, what it going wrong?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I mean, I definitely am concerned of the impacts it's going to have.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
I'm not. I'M not. I mean, you guys are, can hit levels of being terrified over things that I can't.
Glenn Beck
This is why he's a great partner for me, is because when I'm like, we're all gonna die, it's like, relax.
Stu Burguiere
We're just gonna be maimed.
Justin Haskins
Yeah, okay. Yeah. No, I, I, I'm very terrified. And the reason why is because the things that we've been talking about for a long time, you especially, are happening in real time. They are no longer. Oh, and, you know, maybe 10 years, this could.
Glenn Beck
No, it's happening now. It's here. You know, I keep saying this. I mean, it's, it's 2025, 2028. Look at what AI has done in the last 12 months. Can you even imagine what life is going to be like in 2028? The answer is no, because it's going to be radically different by 2028, by 2030. Radically different.
Justin Haskins
That's right. Yeah. And so the polling that, that I recently conducted partnered with the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports to do these polls. It illustrates, I think, for the first time that people really are genuinely starting to get how serious the issue is, really, which is great. I mean, that's great. So we asked if people were concerned about AI, and essentially a little over 70% of likely voters say yes across the board. Pretty much everyone's concerned about it. I really haven't seen too many polls that show that. So that's huge.
Glenn Beck
We also, you know, the learning curve on this is almost straight up with the American people, 100%.
Justin Haskins
We also asked, we said, do you believe that over the next decade, AI will be used more to empower individuals or to control them? And 33% said, in power.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Justin Haskins
42% said control. So people believe.
Glenn Beck
The rest are like, I don't know.
Justin Haskins
Yeah. And the rest are, I don't know. And so I think that, I think that's the good, that's the way.
Glenn Beck
How would you answer that? Because I think in the next. Would you say next five years?
Justin Haskins
Ten.
Glenn Beck
Next ten years.
Justin Haskins
I know what you'd say.
Glenn Beck
The next five. What would I say?
Justin Haskins
You would say control. Come on.
Glenn Beck
No, I would actually say for the first three years in power, like crazy. And then as you get further away from that control, like nuts.
Justin Haskins
Yes. Now I have even better news before I get to the bad news. This is rare. I usually have no good news, so I'm very excited about it. We asked people, would you support a law? Let's see if Stu will support this law. Will you support A law that. For a state, at the state or federal level, that would require developers and technology companies to design AI so that it protects human rights contained in the Constitution, such as freedom of speech and freedom of religious expression. So in other words, AI companies have to design AI with Bill of Rights in mind.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, the Bill of Rights is already the law of the land, right?
Justin Haskins
Not for the AI company.
Glenn Beck
Not for AI company.
Justin Haskins
AI companies of private. Private company.
Stu Burguiere
Do you think private companies have to live by the law?
Glenn Beck
Yeah. No, but.
Stu Burguiere
But they don't have to. You're saying they don't. They would have to do that. Allow free speech?
Glenn Beck
No, no. It would have to be designed to make sure it helps enforce or can never violate free speech. It could never say, nope, we're just going to shut all of you people down. It has to. It has to be trained on the Bill of Rights as one of its. I don't even have foundational principles. Right.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, conceptually, obviously, I like the idea of that happening. I'm not sure if that's the right approach.
Justin Haskins
Right.
Stu Burguiere
But I'd have to put more thought into it.
Justin Haskins
Totally understand. He asked voters.
Glenn Beck
I don't. He's wishy washy.
Justin Haskins
I know.
Glenn Beck
By the time he decides.
Stu Burguiere
Actually, carefully consider your question instead of just jumping to a conclusion.
Justin Haskins
78. Stu's in the minority on this one. 78% of likely voters, Democrats, Republicans, all age groups. 78% say yes.
Glenn Beck
So even more good news.
Justin Haskins
Yes.
Glenn Beck
Stu's in the minority. I now work with a minority.
Stu Burguiere
There you go. You're.
Glenn Beck
It's a diverse staff. We're going to get all kinds of tax breaks.
Justin Haskins
I'm not going anywhere near that one. Okay, so the bad news.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Justin Haskins
All right. So there is some bad news in this. There are things that at least I'm concerned about.
Glenn Beck
Okay. Yeah.
Justin Haskins
All right. So we asked, would you support allowing AI systems to have access to health records, financial data.
Glenn Beck
No.
Justin Haskins
And other personal data?
Glenn Beck
No. If.
Justin Haskins
Hold on. There's an if.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Justin Haskins
If it meant that AI would have a better chance at curing diseases and solving other social and economic problems.
Glenn Beck
No, no, no, no, no, no. Underline. No. Capital letters, exclamation points. No.
Justin Haskins
Stu's going to have a nuanced answer.
Stu Burguiere
Well, I mean, how are they getting access to this if we gave it to him?
Justin Haskins
If that's the whole premise of it, would you support allowing AI systems to have access to it?
Glenn Beck
So do you. Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. Allow them to have access so I could opt out?
Justin Haskins
Yeah, but the question is really, for You. So would you want them.
Glenn Beck
Would you.
Justin Haskins
Allow them to have. Not for everybody. It doesn't say that necessarily.
Glenn Beck
No, I, I hopefully.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, because there would be benefits to this, right? Massive ones, if enough people gave them health data.
Glenn Beck
Right? Like massive.
Stu Burguiere
So I would hope enough people did that, weren't they?
Glenn Beck
But if enough people do it, then they have all of the. Once they have the data on you, you're done.
Stu Burguiere
What does that happen? Like, what happens with that when it comes to your insurance rates?
Justin Haskins
Yeah, right.
Glenn Beck
There will be no insurance. There will be no insurance.
Justin Haskins
It's not just health records, financial data and other personal data.
Stu Burguiere
Way I would not be supplying mine.
Justin Haskins
Okay.
Stu Burguiere
Though we could acknowledge here because like, this is. What was it, Denmark that does this with health data. They have the best studies that come out of Denmark. They're incredible because the government forces all of their data to go into the studies. Right, right. So, like, there's part of me that likes the fact that we learn about that.
Glenn Beck
If you take it and erase all of the information so it's not tracked to you, it's never, you can never sort through it. But you can now.
Stu Burguiere
But again, I wouldn't, I would like to say no. I would hope that Justin would be nice enough to give his data so we can research on him.
Justin Haskins
Yeah, of course. That's what stu wants. So 51% said yes. 51% said yes. And then 34% said either somewhat opposed or strongly opposed. And 15% said not sure. So people seem very willing to allow.
Glenn Beck
This because, you know, let me ask you something. I was talking to somebody yesterday and they said, what is happening to Utah? I mean, the reddest red counties are in Utah and they're just going crazy. They're starting to really go left. And I said it's because too many people just think, oh, well, you know, it's all. It's always fine because it's always been fine here, and it's going to be great. And so they're not paying attention and they're just, it's just slipping away from them like crazy. The other thing is, why do you think the NSA built the entire, you know, listening compound in Utah? Now I'll tell you why the NSA said they did. Okay, they said they did because it takes enormous amounts of water to cool those systems. And Utah had such a huge supply of water. It's the kind of dry, isn't it? It's the desert, dude. We know that that's not right. It's the desert. I think they did it because People in Utah are compliant. They want to get along. They want to be good Americans. They want to do the patriotic thing, and they just. They go along to get along. And land's cheap, too. Trouble.
Justin Haskins
Yeah, that's true. I. I agree with that. I think there's a.
Glenn Beck
There's definitely, at some point, it's trouble.
Justin Haskins
So then another thing kind of more. More bad news, worse news in some ways. Last question we asked was, many economists believe the AI will eliminate millions of jobs over the next decade. If that happens, would you support a government program that taxes big tech companies and then uses the funds to provide every American with an income large enough to pay for basic necessities like housing, clothing, and food? So we're talking universal basic income, essentially paid for by big tech because I took a lot of jobs.
Stu Burguiere
You want my nuanced answer on this?
Justin Haskins
Yeah, sure.
Glenn Beck
No, so amazing. That is so amazing. No, so amazing. Now, may I give the nuanced answer on this?
Justin Haskins
Let's give the new one.
Glenn Beck
What is your choice? I said this. I've been talking about this forever. Remember, Stu, how many times. And in our books, we have talked about universal basic income for decades now? And I kept saying, it's going to happen. You have to have another plan. What's the alternative?
Justin Haskins
Yep.
Glenn Beck
And we're now at this place where, again, I say, what's the alternative? And let me explain that. Give me 60 seconds and I'll come back. Hello. My name is Gold. You might remember me from all of human history. I backed empires. I launched wars. I've been dug out of the earth, stolen from tombs, melted into coins, locked away in vaults, and yet here you are, investing in meme stocks and digital tokens while I'm sitting in the corner quietly holding my value for 5,000 straight years. I mean, I'm not pissed about it or anything. I'm just Gold. No, Enjoy that totally stable startup that promises to make you millions and millions and millions on the blockchain. I'll just be over here being gold, remaining stable and tangible. You know, not a button that you click on, but a thing that you actually can hold in your hand.

Station ID. Okay, so here's my new nuance on this. A. What is your alternative? I'd love to hear another alternative to this because AI is going to put the vast majority of people out of work. That's why I just did a monologue and didn't mention this, but I mentioned you've got to find meaning in life because when your job goes away, most men at least find meaning in what they do. So what happens to just our, our, our mental state of mind when there's no meaning in work anymore because you're not working. So you gotta find meaning. That's the first thing. Second thing is, you know, you said in that poll, taxed by the corporations or tax on the big tech companies. They have been raping us of our information. Literally. They have been taking it. We've got, they didn't tell us at first or we were too stupid enough to recognize it, but they, they built Google and everything else on your information, all of the information you've given them. So they're making money off of you. All the billions that they've made is off of your back. So now that they're going to be so big and, and AI is going to take away our jobs, you know what, they should pay us for that. So, and I don't want to tax, I don't want it to go to the government and to us. No, no, you just write each of us a check yourself. I don't need the middleman taking their share of it.
Justin Haskins
Yeah, I mean this is basically Andrew Yang's position. I know Andrew Yang, who has been taking this position for a decade or something like that. I think the challenge with it is obviously we don't want government. We don't want people dependent on government. Right. And this is, this is one of those situations where they would be, what.
Glenn Beck
Are you going to do when. I mean, here's the thing, you also have to balance. I mean, you want to talk about an oligarchy, there's going to be five guys with all of the money on planet Earth. Bezos will be one, maybe Zuckerberg will be one. Bill Gates will be one. Elon Musk will be one. They will have almost all of the money in the west will go to five or six people and companies. No, no. I mean, I don't I don't, you know, congratulations on your success. I agree with. You can get as rich as you want. However, if you've just destroyed all other ways for people to work, I don't know, maybe you should pay me for helping build it for the information I gave you and I, you know, I.
Stu Burguiere
Guess part of my distinction here is I, I don't disagree that you directionally, you're right on a lot of the stuff. I think we're going that way. I don't think, at least in all of human history we usually find a way to come to a different medium than the extreme. Nobody has a job and all money goes to five companies. Answer. I think there's a real solution and we're seeing this already come out that where we're used to working 40 hour weeks might be a lot different I think in the future from this where instead of maybe 80% of the jobs going away, maybe we're working, working 50% left fewer hours.
Glenn Beck
Oh, and, and that would be fantastic if we could get to a place to where you were working two days a week and you could make the money that could, you could live. That's great. But who's good? I mean you don't have, you know, you don't have the trucking jobs, you don't, you just don't have all of the, the jobs that are the hard labor stuff that's gonna go away.
Justin Haskins
And I think there's. So just, just before I make those comments, I should give the what the answer was to the poll question.
Stu Burguiere
Hold on, let's talk for 45 more minutes.
Justin Haskins
So we asked the question. 62% of likely voters say they either strongly support it or somewhat support it. 62% compared to only 22% who say that they are opposed in some way.
Glenn Beck
And who even knew about this when we started talking about it? Nobody heard of ubi, Nobody.
Stu Burguiere
The, the be in the minority again there, by the way.
Justin Haskins
Yes, that's right. That's a theme I've noticed. So the.
Glenn Beck
I would love to join you in that, but I have not heard another. I mean it's one thing to be against things. We have to start thinking different. What are we for? I want to be for something. I am against that idea because it just creates even more dependency in slaves. However, millions, hundreds of millions, if not a billion people plus are going to be out of work. What do we do?
Justin Haskins
Right.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. I mean, you know, again, to push down this road a little bit more than maybe we need to in this one question, but it's like, we get that way. I think the left gets the way that you're thinking about this with global warming sometimes where they're just like, this horrible thing's gonna happen. We have to do something. Well, we don't know every twist and turn of how this happens. And we can't make all of these decisions today. I think if we try to, we're gonna be like the environmentalists of 1910 who are worried about the dung from the horses piling up in Manhattan and not really be able to deal with these things. I think the principles that we fall back on of the Constitution and our system will oftentimes provide answers to these things, even if we don't know the questions are yet.
Justin Haskins
So one of the really interesting things about this conversation is that put aside whether it's the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do.
Stu Burguiere
Right?
Justin Haskins
Okay. In terms of policy, ideology, all of that, and just ask yourself the question. In the moment when you have the rapid disruption of millions of jobs going away politically, is it even possible to say, you know, what the solution is? We do nothing? No, it's not. And so like, that's the thing I'm most concerned about is even if you're right, and I think you might be, I think it's really hard. I don't know how you escape that part of the.
Glenn Beck
Yesterday I was filming with Prager University and we were talking about the Great Depression and one of the guys was standing there and I was like, oh, yeah, let me show you something from the Great Depression. I'll tell you why we have all of the Social Security and everything else. And I pulled out that book from the economic committee for fdr, all these hand drawn and colored charts about how if you don't do these things, there'll be such chaos on the streets that you'll have communism because radicals will take charge because too many people are hungry. Too many people need something to give them hope in some job. You've got to start creating jobs even if the government creates them. That's kind of the situation that we would find ourselves in with this. More in a minute. This is Glenn Beck.

All right, we're with Justin Haskins, the President of our Republic and the editor in chief of stopping socialism.com commie is also my co author on the Great Reset, Dark Future and Propaganda Wars. I just, before we get it back into this, I just have to say I've seen the weirdest thing I have ever seen in my life. Donald Trump was just announced at this big meeting in the Saudi Investment Forum. Huge, enormous stage. And they introduce him and he walks out to Lee Greenwood, God bless the USA, which is like a 3 minute and 37 second song, I believe. And he does, you know, when he, when he, when he, when he does that here in America, he walks out and everybody's singing and crying, you know, and waving their flags. And so it kind of works. He just walked out to that and he let the entire song play and everybody is just standing there. They're all Saudis, they're all standing there like, I don't know what's going on here, what? Because they're not, they're not crying or singing or waving at America.
Justin Haskins
And he just stood there and looked.
Glenn Beck
Out into the audience like, you're gonna.
Justin Haskins
Listen to this whole song all the way through.
Glenn Beck
He's just got, he's got a para set on him that just does not ever, ever stop.
Justin Haskins
Well, getting shot in the Head might do.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, you know what? I, I got shot in the head. I'm going to stand here if I want to anyway. So just, we were talking about AI, what we've just learned in from polling, which is both good and bad. People are at least really starting to understand this, which is his good. If they don't understand this or they only understand it like we understood social media when we got on. Have you seen the Twitters? I'm on Facebook. If, if we approach AI like that, we're doomed because by the time you figure it out, everything will be different. And so it looks like people are starting to pay attention to it before we get there.
Justin Haskins
And they want rights and protections embedded in it.
Glenn Beck
That's great.
Justin Haskins
That's, that's, that's what they want.
Glenn Beck
Now, now talk to me about the eu, because the EU has decided we're not playing this game. We're not. We, we don't, we don't have to be the first, first of all, you wouldn't be, but we don't have to be the first. We're just going to be the ones that set all of the rules.
Justin Haskins
Yeah, the, the expanse, the, the expansion of power in the European Union during the Biden administration into today has been absolutely unbelievable. And this is just another example of what we've talked about, the EU ESG law before, where they're trying to impose ESG on all of America and the whole world. Well, this is, this is similar to that. They passed a law called the AI act in 2024. So last year they passed it. A lot of the law, some of the law has already gone into effect earlier this year. More of it goes into effect in August. Penalties and things like that for non compliance go into effect in the next, over the next couple of years.
Glenn Beck
Part of the stuff where you can't say anything, you know, that, you know, the society or the governments disagree with or you go to jail or is this basically all these laws for the high tech companies?
Justin Haskins
These are for big tech companies. Okay. So that's, that's what the purpose of this is. The idea behind these is to force AI developers, no matter where they are in the world, they could be in America, they could be in Canada, or they could be in the EU or.
Glenn Beck
Someplace else, just not China. Because they don't care.
Justin Haskins
Well, they don't. Yeah, they, they let them slide.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Justin Haskins
To adopt all of these EU sort of like ESG rules and to embed them into their AI systems. And if you, if. And their way of determining whether this might apply to you is not whether you have an EU or not, whether you have an AI system offered in the eu. It's not even whether someone in the EU uses your AI system from the eu. You, it's based on the use of an output from an AI system. So in other words, if you have ChatGPT produce a offensive transphobic meme, and that is used by somebody in the eu because you send it to somebody in the eu and then some influencer in the EU spreads it all over the place, that's enough to bring your AI system under their law, under the AIA Act.
Glenn Beck
Oh my gosh.
Justin Haskins
Okay, now it's a super complicated, absurdly ridiculous law.
Glenn Beck
I gotta tell you, if this doesn't fall, you know what, because what I would do if that were the case and we had a president here that was going to allow those punishments to stand, I would just, I'd find a way to embed some sort of code that would not allow it to be spread in the eu. I don't even know if that's possible, but. Right, you, you would just say, cut them off. I don't want anything in the eu.
Justin Haskins
Well, you almost. What's crazy about this is even if you didn't offer your service in the eu, just the output alone, it's, it's like you have to force big tech companies not to operate in the eu. And why would they do that? Because they can make money in the eu. That's the genius of what the eu. So what's amazing about this is so. Well, before we get into that, the requirements, what are the things that you have to do? If you're a covered company under this, there's all these obligations that you, you have to do. You have to conduct detailed risk assessments, you have to build in human oversight, maintain logs, testing protocols, submit extensive documentation for EU regulators. But the worst of it all is that you have to build a risk mitigation system to avoid actions considered harmful by the EU into your eu, into your AI systems. Okay, now what is a risk mitigation system exactly? How do they define risk under, under this law? Well, risk is so broadly defined that almost anything could be considered. It's essentially whatever the EU regulators want to ask you to stop doing. They can ask you to stop doing it or else you pay these massive fines. How big are the fines, you might wonder? Well, it depends on the violation, but for most of the violations that I think we would be concerned about, it would be 3% of total worldwide revenue for that company.
Glenn Beck
Not profit?
Justin Haskins
No Revenue.
Stu Burguiere
Revenue.
Glenn Beck
So if you run a regular company, what is it? I mean, it's usually a good return is what, 6 to 8% on your dollar? They could take, we're talking billions of dollars, we're talking about big companies, gigantic proportions of. If you're taking straight revenue, your profit could be gone.
Justin Haskins
Yes, exactly. So it forces compliance.
Glenn Beck
So forces.
Justin Haskins
It's very similar to the EU ESG law that we had talked about before, except it's focused on AI. So they're requiring, they're requiring these companies to adhere to these absurd rules. They're going to do it because they're going to make money off of it. So I want to give you specific, give you some specific examples from the law. So in the law there's this section where they basically lay out their intent. And in their intent, which is, is pages and pages and pages long.
Glenn Beck
Of course it is.
Justin Haskins
They talk about risks now some of the risks that they're concerned about and they're trying to stop with this law. So this is what's in their mind, this is how courts are going to interpret it in the eu. So this is why this is important. It says when they're talking about general purpose AI models, they're talking about the systemic risk that a big one might cause. So we're talking about like ChatGPT or something like that. Okay. It says that a, could pose systemic risks which include, but are not limited to any actual or reasonably foreseeable negative effects in relation to major accidents, disruptions of critical sectors and serious consequences to public health and safety. Any actual or reasonably foreseeable negative effects on democratic processes, public and economic security, the dissemination of illegal, false or discriminatory content. Then there's a whole bunch of other things I'm going to skip down. Risks from models making copies of themselves or self replicating in which models can give rise to harmful bias and discrimination with risks to individuals, communities or societies. The facilitation of disinformation or harming privacy with threats to democratic values and human rights. A risk that a particular event could lead to a, could lead to a chain reaction with considerable negative effects that could affect up to an entire city, an entire domain activity or an entire community. Now this is, this is the law. This is what they put into the law. This is what they are.
Glenn Beck
So, so I don't even know that last one.
Justin Haskins
Yeah, it's anything Glenn. Like the whole thing could be summarized as whatever we want. Okay, so, so we, I asked Chat GPT, are you, are you, you know, is this something that you're concerned with. Have you. It's already supposed to go into effect. Are you doing anything? And it's very clearly chat. GPD says yes, we've already been changing. OpenAI already has been changing its algorithms to conform to this and other laws like it. It's, it's already happening. So, so a. So we've been sitting here talking about why is AI doing all this crazy woke stuff and why is it only promoting certain views of various issues or things like that? Well, because it's being forced to do that in part at least because of, of the European Union. So while China and America are in a race to, you know, the AI race to see who's going to develop it first. Europe's just like, we don't really care who develops it first as long as you just do whatever we.
Glenn Beck
Okay, so that's a really cute idea, but may I take it to the last big possible destructive force, and that's the Manhattan Project. Europe could be sitting there and going, well, you know, Russia might develop their own nuclear weapons and America. But we're going to make the rules. Well, maybe if Russia and America were like, okay, you can make the rule. I mean, if China and the United States are like, I don't really care. We're not, we're not doing it. I mean.
Justin Haskins
Agreed. And so one of the things in here that's good. So we're going to talk about some of the, one of the, some of the good stuff that's in it is there are direct prohibitions on the use of AI so it's banned. Not a penalty like you can't do it. That deals with AI, that exploits human vulnerabilities like age or disability, certain social.
Glenn Beck
Scores that even mean though, of course.
Justin Haskins
And that's, that's always the problem with these things. There's stuff in there about the use of AI for subliminal mind altering apps and things like that. They don't want that happening. Surely, you know, like, I mean, there's like stuff in there that you look at, you're like, well, yeah, I mean, I don't want, I don't want to.
Glenn Beck
Be subliminally like, it's all ephemeral. How are you going to, how are you going to prove that it's happening now?
Justin Haskins
It's whatever they want. That's the power.
Glenn Beck
Show me the person, I'll show you the crime.
Justin Haskins
Yes. And so what you need, by the way, there is a minority report type thing in here that says you can't use this to predict crime. And then arrest people for it. But that's a whole nother thing. But no.
Glenn Beck
Why not? You just use the cameras.
Justin Haskins
We can see it in real time.
Glenn Beck
We don't need to predict it.
Justin Haskins
But I think that the main part of all this is why would America allow the EU to dictate how it's designing its AI program?
Glenn Beck
Easy. If you have the progressive counterpart to the eu, then you can't get things through your House and Senate. Okay, we couldn't pass any of that crap. So let them do it. And then we'll just go. Well, we're going to. We're. We are, you know, one with the eu and we're just going to follow their rules and. And we'll just do that. So it allows you to destroy all of American rights just by blaming it on them. I think that's why.
Justin Haskins
That's 100% why. This was the whole Biden. I think at some point this became the actual strategy.
Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah.
Justin Haskins
For whoever was running the Biden administration, you know, that was the strategy. Like, we are not getting anything done. It's over for us. We're just going to let Europe do whatever it wants and we'll just have to comply with it and we'll allow them to. To impose ESG on us and all these other things.
Glenn Beck
Because we can't get it through that.
Justin Haskins
Because we can't.
Glenn Beck
I know, I know. Because the guy who was running the administration was Mike. So.
Justin Haskins
Was it really?
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it was Mike.
Justin Haskins
Wow.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Justin Haskins
Was he an okay guy or.
Glenn Beck
I don't know. His name was Mike. You know, at least he ran it on Mondays. I don't know who ran it the rest of the week. All right, here's simply safe. Supposed to be an easy job. One quick window pop in and out, five minutes, no cops, no noise, no problem. But then the moment he touched the doorknob or he touched the window, Ding. It was simply safe with its cameras and motion sensors. And don't forget all the mobile alerts. All of a sudden a two way speaker says, hey, Mike, you might want to reconsider your life choice. Life choices. And just like that, the easy score gone. Replaced by very real fear of going to jail in sweatpants. And they're gonna take a picture of you, Mike, looking like that.

Welcome. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Justin, let me ask you the what is the, what is the one thing that you think that nobody is talking about that you think is the next big thing that we should be talking about at this point? What's coming?
Justin Haskins
You mean other than all the other stuff that I just talked about? All that stuff? Yeah. You know, this is not a popular opinion among people on the right, but I am, I think if you just look at the his the historical numbers of how things have gone with the stock market, where things are at with housing prices, we are so due for a gigantic crash. It is unbelievable.
Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah, we're way overdue.
Justin Haskins
Way overdue. Just if you're looking at all the historical metrics measuring that, that would be my major concern.
Glenn Beck
And I think if we don't get spending under control, that could happen really fast.
Justin Haskins
Yes, I do.
Glenn Beck
That's.
Justin Haskins
I mean, and we're talking collapse of the dollar and then you get CBDCs after that. And we could go on and on and on about all that.
Glenn Beck
But that's.
Justin Haskins
That's what I'm worried about.
Glenn Beck
Well, that made me happy. How about you, Stu?
Stu Burguiere
I kind of on the same board with like an economic situation. You know, if you look at the. Back at the Case Shiller Index, which we talked about for years, where it hit before the housing collapse. Right. The Great Recession, it hit number of 184.
Glenn Beck
184.
Stu Burguiere
84. Now that collapse fell all the way down to 134. Now 134 is still higher than most of history. But that number today, take a gander at that. Remember, it peaked 184.
Glenn Beck
I have no idea. Currently.
Stu Burguiere
323.
Glenn Beck
323. That number should be about 100, if I'm not mistaken. Right around the.
Stu Burguiere
It was about 100 for about a.
Glenn Beck
You know, about 130 years.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. 50 years before. Before the collapse.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
So it's not necessarily terrible. I mean, again, this is not. This is adjusted for inflation.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
So it's not like a number that you would expect to go up a little bit.
Justin Haskins
Based on that, there's data that shows that the average, average sales price of a home is now higher relative to income than it's ever been. It's more than seven times the average income.
Glenn Beck
There's no way to buy a house. If you are young and starting over, you probably don't think there's a way to buy a house or own a.
Stu Burguiere
House, especially with the rates where they're.
Glenn Beck
All these things have to change. They have to change and I think they're going to change. Now, can we hold society together while it changes and resets? I don't know, but I know the socialists are counting on being there. Justin, thank you so much. And I know you'll be back tomorrow. We're doing a special show tomorrow. You don't want to miss this. And we will see you back on the radio tomorrow, same time. God bless. Stay safe. This is Glenn Beck.
Summary of "How Boeing’s Air Force One Delay Exposes America's Decline" | The Glenn Beck Program | May 13, 2025
Hosted by Blaze Podcast Network, this episode of The Glenn Beck Program features insightful discussions on the delayed delivery of Boeing’s new Air Force One and its broader implications on American strength and governance. Guest Justin Haskins joins Glenn Beck and Stu Burguiere to delve into related political and technological issues.
Glenn Beck opens the episode expressing frustration over the delay in Boeing delivering the new Air Force One, highlighting it as a symbol of America’s declining industrial and administrative capabilities.
Glenn Beck [05:13]: "Imagine, it took America less time to win and fight World War II than it is for Boeing to complete two planes. What does that say about the America that you grew up in? What does that say about American companies, American ingenuity?"
The conversation shifts to President Joe Biden's health, with mentions of reports suggesting the need for a wheelchair, drawing parallels to historical figures like Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) and Woodrow Wilson.
Stu Burguiere [05:35]: "Apparently Joe Biden needed a wheelchair and somebody to push him around in it was the report today."
Glenn Beck references FDR’s use of a wheelchair, emphasizing his strength and leadership despite physical limitations.
Glenn Beck [06:34]: "He was embarrassed by the wheelchair. I think that was his greatest strength. The guy couldn't walk and yet he did."
The hosts critique the mainstream media's handling of President Biden's health, accusing them of spreading misinformation to maintain his political standing.
Stu Burguiere [10:39]: "Them lying to get themselves through this election. That's the theme here."
They discuss how media outlets rely on statements from White House aides without independent verification, leading to public deception.
Glenn Beck [11:06]: "If that's all that you're given, you could speculate, but you can't print that as a news story that he can't walk. You can speculate, you can comment on it, but you'd have no evidence as a reporter."
Beck and Burguiere argue that Boeing’s inefficiency in delivering Air Force One reflects poorly on American manufacturing and governmental priorities, drawing comparisons to historical production feats.
Glenn Beck [05:13]: "It took America less time to win and fight World War II than it is for Boeing to complete two planes."
They express concern that such delays signify deeper systemic issues within American industry and governance.
Guest Justin Haskins introduces the topic of artificial intelligence (AI), discussing recent polling data indicating widespread public concern over AI's impact on society. The conversation covers the European Union's stringent AI regulations and their potential global influence.
Justin Haskins [92:02]: "We asked if people were concerned about AI, and essentially a little over 70% of likely voters say yes across the board. Pretty much everyone's concerned about it."
The hosts critique the EU's AI Act, highlighting fears that it may stifle innovation and impose restrictive controls on American tech companies.
Justin Haskins [114:26]: "They passed a law called the AI act in 2024... massive fines based on revenue for non-compliance."
The discussion transitions to the economic impacts of AI, particularly the potential elimination of millions of jobs. They debate the viability of Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a solution funded by taxing big tech companies.
Glenn Beck [105:01]: "What are you going to do when AI is going to put the vast majority of people out of work?"
Justin Haskins [97:06]: "62% of likely voters say they either strongly support it or somewhat support it."
Closing the episode, Glenn Beck reflects on America's historical resilience and the importance of maintaining strong industrial and technological standards to prevent decline.
Glenn Beck [123:29]: "Shame on you, Boeing. You can't finish a couple of planes, huh?"
Beck emphasizes the need for American companies to reclaim their legacy of efficiency and excellence to restore national pride and global standing.
Glenn Beck [05:13]: "It took America less time to win and fight World War II than it is for Boeing to complete two planes."
Stu Burguiere [10:39]: "Them lying to get themselves through this election. That's the theme here."
Justin Haskins [92:02]: "We asked if people were concerned about AI, and essentially a little over 70% of likely voters say yes across the board."

Justin Haskins [114:26]: "They passed a law called the AI act in 2024... massive fines based on revenue for non-compliance."
In this episode, Glenn Beck and guest Justin Haskins critically examine the failure of Boeing to deliver the new Air Force One on time, using it as a lens to discuss broader themes of American decline in industry and governance. They draw historical parallels, critique media manipulation, and explore emerging challenges posed by artificial intelligence and global regulatory pressures. The conversation underscores a call for renewed American ingenuity and vigilance in the face of technological and political adversities.
